The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 210 The Eve of the Great War

Everyone in the world was watching Yuan Shao's actions. Some people knew what Yuan Shao wanted to do, while others didn't.For example, Liu Biao, although he understood that Yuan Shao's biggest goal in going south this time was Long Fei, but he didn't see how long his Jingzhou would last if Long Fei was defeated.According to Kuai Yue's suggestion, Liu Biao mobilized elite troops to guard Xiangyang to prevent Long Fei from being defeated by Yuan Shao and fleeing into his territory.

"Everyone, this time Yuan Benchu ​​led the army to the south. If Long Fei can be killed, the world will be much more stable!" Liu Biao raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone to toast.

Everyone drinks a cup together.Kuai Liangdao: "My lord's words are very true. The princes of the world are dissatisfied with Long Fei's son causing trouble everywhere. Let's see how he responds this time. We just need to guard Jingzhou and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Langzhong Yiji looked worried: "My lord, Yuan Shao's wolf ambition is even worse than that of Long Fei. If Wancheng is lost, our Jingzhou..."

"Master Yi is worrying too much!" Kuai Yue smiled: "The fourth and third members of the Yuan family are loyal to the big man, and they will never do such a thing."

Yi Ji looked at the Kuai family brothers with disdain: "Four generations and three princes? Isn't Yuan Shu the same?"

Everyone was taken aback.The smile on Kuai Yue's face froze instantly.Liu Biao hastily said: "Don't quarrel, both of you, although Yuan Benchu ​​is powerful, Long Fei is not just for nothing, no matter how well he fights, as long as we keep Xiangyang! Xiangyang is too close to Wancheng, I intend to move the administration If you go to Nanjun, you can stay far away from Long Fei, and you can also control Jiang Xia's affairs nearby, what do you all think?"

Everyone was silent, and everyone sitting here was basically a native of Xiangyang.Especially Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the heads of the civil officials, and Cai Mao, the head of the generals, all of their homes are in Xiangyang.Liu Biao's move to Nanjun inevitably made these people feel that Liu Biao wanted to get out of their control.Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one agrees or disagrees.

Liu Biao sighed softly, and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand: "Since that's the case, let's not talk about it!"

Liu Biao was worried about moving the government office, and Cao Cao was worried about whether to openly fight with Yuan Shao.Cheng Yu and the others saw very clearly that Yuan Shao called for an excuse, and Cao Cao would be killed if he killed Long Fei and turned back.Cao Cao pacified Lu Bu and destroyed Yuan Shu. Over the years, he has fought east and west.And Yuan Shao recharged his energy, although he also defeated Gongsun Zan and captured Bingzhou, these did not use Yuan Shao's old capital.The four prefectures of Hebei have a vast terrain, a large population, and some strength.Therefore, Cheng Yu believed that Yuan Shao should never be allowed to go south, and should unite with Long Fei to trap Yuan Shao in Hebei.

Dong Zhao raised a different opinion.He thought that although Long Fei was weak, he was also difficult to deal with.When Yuan Shao came from far away, Long Fei had the support of the people of Wancheng, so it would not be a problem to stick with Yuan Shao for a year or so.As long as Long Fei holds Yuan Shao back, Cao Cao can send his army around Qingzhou to join forces with Zang Ba, governor of Xuzhou.Yuan Shao was attacked on both sides, and it was difficult to deal with it, so the land of Hebei fell into Cao Cao's hands.

Dong Zhao's bold idea has been supported by many people, and Cao Cao is also somewhat inclined to this suggestion.Xi Zhicai hastily said: "Dong Zhao has lost the country!" He bowed his hands to Cao Cao: "My lord, who is Long Fei? To Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao can't catch Long Fei, and my lord listened to Dong Zhaozhi's words and mobilized the army to Qingzhou, the defense in the west is weak, what if Yuan Shao attacks?"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, and after careful thought, what Xi Zhicai said made sense.Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Xi Zhicai continued: "Master Cheng, talking is the best policy. Yuan Shao is ambitious. If Wancheng is captured, Yuzhou will be swept away. It will be too late for my lord to clean it up. Why don't you join hands with Long Fei to trap Yuan Shao in Hebei? Yuan Shao's strong battle is a good opportunity for my lord to march into Hebei."

Liu Ye nodded: "I also agree with Mr. Xi's words. Mr. Dong has unique tactics, but he forgot that Long Fei will not be trapped to death in Wancheng. Liu Biao in the south is weak, and if he is really no match for Long Fei, he can retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. Once Long Fei leaves We are bound to suffer, and it will be difficult to find another alliance!"

Everyone nodded again.Cao Cao also nodded, and said with a smile: "Everyone is my right-hand man. Although Dong Zhaozhi's words have been opposed, I still think Dong Zhao's idea is bold and it is a good plan. But as everyone said, we don't know Long Fei is right now. To fight is to flee, don't jump to any conclusions in vain, if you don't get the news of Long Fei's deadly battle, send troops immediately, and never let Yuan Shao cross the Yellow River!"

That night, the Yanzhou army began to move.First, people were sent to inform Zang Ba to lead elite soldiers into Qingzhou from Langya, attack Qi, Beihai, and Dong'an, contain Yuan Shao, consolidate the right wing, and prevent Yuan Jun from attacking from the east; Two thousand troops guarded Yanjin, an important ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, and assisted in guarding Liu Yan, the white horse, to prevent Yuan Jun from crossing the river or driving southward. Then, he sent general Xia Houyuan to build a fortification in the Guandu area with the main force to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking from the front; and sent Jiang Ji to go there. Wancheng tested Long Fei's attitude.

Yuan Shao made a big attack, and Long Fei, the prefect of Wancheng who was the target, didn't seem to be in a hurry.Stay at home all day and play with your son and daughter for fun.The two little guys have grown quite a bit.According to Long Fei's instructions, Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Deng Ai, Lu Meng, Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, Guo Jia's son Guo Yi, Jia Xu's grandson Jia Rui, Dian Wei's son Dianman, Xu Chu's son Xu Yi, and Together with several children of the general, they vacated a few rooms in the backyard of their home to teach their studies.

Among them, Huang Xu was the elder, followed by Lu Xun and Lu Meng, and the youngest were Long Fei's son Long Sheng and Guo Jia's son Guo Yi.The two guys are less than three years old, and they are more capable of making trouble than anyone else. In addition, Dianman and Xu Yi are fanning the flames from the sidelines.Many gentlemen were invited, and the longest one didn't last for a month, so he vowed never to come again.

Originally, his intention was good, these are their future, let them communicate more when they are young, and they will be like brothers when they grow up, but I didn't expect this to be the result.I was wondering whether to find another husband or to disband on the spot.Guo Jia came in with a smile. Seeing such excitement, he laughed loudly: "My lord, are you going to do it yourself?"

"Hey!" Long Fei sighed.

Guo Yi saw Guo Jia quickly hid behind Huang Xu.A few older children came over to say hello, Guo Jia nodded, looked at Huang Xu and the others, and said to Long Fei, "Why don't you send them to Gao Shun, firstly, they can be exercised, secondly, there is strict discipline in the army, It's easy to control!"

"Hehehe!" Long Fei chuckled: "There is still a way for Fengxiao! You little bastards, listen, I will send you to the military camp tomorrow, and let Gao Shun take care of you!" Long Sheng and Guo Yi were frightened. Almost cried.The other older ones were happy because the military camp is always a man's dream.In this chaotic world, it is better to dance with guns and sticks than let them dance with words.

Back in the front hall, Long Fei took his seat.Only then did Guo Jia explain the purpose of his visit: "The crisis is imminent, how do you think the lord is not in a hurry?"

Long Fei said: "What? Is Feng Xiao in a hurry?"

Guo Jia shook his head: "I heard that my lord sent Jiang Gan to Jingzhou to appease Liu Biao, and sent Jia Xu to Chang'an. It seems that my lord is going to fight Yuan Shao?"

"No! It's not me! It's Cao Cao who wants to fight Yuan Shao!" Long Fei put down his tea bowl and said, "Xu Shu just sent the news, Cao Cao is also dispatching troops, and Cao Cao's envoy Jiang Ji is already on his way to Wancheng , How could I not seize such an opportunity?"

Guo Jia nodded: "Cao Cao has a long-term vision. If Yuan Shao is defeated, he will take the opportunity to annex the four prefectures of Hebei. We should also think about the next plan!"

"I have asked Chen Dao to send Yuxi to Shuijing Village in Xiangyang. We must stabilize them first. When Cao Cao's army goes north, we will go south immediately!"

"I'm afraid Hei Bing won't really give up Jingzhou, how can he spit out what he eats!"

Long Fei smiled mysteriously: "I have a solution, Hei Bing has no choice but to give in! Tell me, what is the result of your discussion?"

Guo Jia took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and presented it to Long Fei with both hands: "This is the result. There is still a shortage of food, grass and equipment. Wen Ruo is already actively raising funds. For the matter of soldiers, it is not difficult for Li Ruyan to allocate [-] yuan. Besides, they have already Send Gao Lan to Fancheng to replace Zhang Xiu. In addition, Xu Huang from Anle transferred back, handed Xiangcheng to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, transferred back to Huaxiong and Wenpin, and sent the Ganning navy to swim in the Fei River, so as to protect Wancheng Nothing to lose!"

"Very good!" Long Fei nodded: "In this way, there will be plenty of generals under him, second brother, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Ta Lun, plus Xu Chu and others, enough! With Feng Xiao and Li Ru as military advisors, and brothers Gao Shun and Xian Yu supervising the army, the army will surely succeed! Let Cao Cao also see our formation, hehehe!"

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Should I also bring Dian Wei with me, the big battle is coming, I'm afraid it's not good to leave him alone?"

Long Fei glanced at Guo Jia: "Didn't you guys also discuss this matter? What was the result?"

"Hehe! You can't hide anything from the lord, it must be that kid Wang Wei who informed you!" Guo Jia hurriedly changed the topic: "This kid is not strict with his mouth, why don't you let him follow Brother Yuan Zhi, my lord, Wen Ruo asked for it many times. , if Wang Wei buys grain and grass for him, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Forget it! Don't argue with you guys, let Dian Wei come to me!"

"Okay!" Guo Jia agreed, and ran out the door cheerfully.

Jiang Ji came to Wancheng non-stop. Wancheng was in chaos. Soldiers were coming and going on the streets, and the people with big bags and small bags were all crowded towards the gate of the city.If there were no soldiers to clear the way, Jiang Ji would not be able to squeeze in at all.It was Xu Shu who received Jiang Ji, and Xu Shu quickly explained: "Hey! Yuan Shao's [-] troops, how can we cope with the small land of Wancheng? The people all have to leave when they hear about this. Our lord has no choice but to take His Majesty to Jingzhou to seek refuge. .”

"Absolutely not!" Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou is a royal family, he is cowardly. General Long may be in danger if he goes here!"

"That's also helpless, who let General Cao ignore Yuan Shao's crossing of the Yellow River? Originally, my lord wanted to join forces with General Cao to fight against Yuan. The two sides are in-laws, but now..."

"Really?" Jiang Ji asked quickly.

Xu Shu nodded: "But it's useless now, Mr. Cao is not willing, just because we can't do anything!"

Jiang Ji grabbed Xu Shu's hand: "Sir, you don't need to say much, this is for the alliance between the Cao and Long families, take me to see General Long quickly, quickly!"

Long Fei sat in the hall with a tired look on his face, before Long Fei could ask, Jiang Ji first said: "Mr. Cao is willing to join forces with General Long to fight against Yuan, is General Long willing?"
