The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"My lord, why did you seek refuge with Cao Mengde?!"

Zhang Yan really wanted to explain that he took refuge in the imperial court, not Cao Mengde, but such an explanation was weak.

After all, the imperial court is under the control of Cao Mengde.

Zhong Yao was furious and asked Zhang Yan to kill Gongsun Xu, but Zhang Yan hesitated.

"Zhong Gong, Gongsun Xu is just an innocent person. He has followed me for many years, and he has worked hard without credit." Zhang Yan said.

Therefore, Zhang Yan expelled Gongsun Xu and asked him to go back and tell Gongsun Zan that the alliance between the two parties had broken down.

Gongsun Xu left angrily.

"My lord, you will definitely regret it!"

Zhang Yan hesitated to speak.

Zhong Yao didn't stop him, after all Zhang Yan still had to give her face.

In this way, Zhang Yan followed Zhong Yao to Jizhou and met with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very happy and gave Zhang Yan many rewards.

"General Zhang, as long as you follow my prime minister, I will definitely not treat you badly," Cao Cao said.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Zhang Yan cupped her hands.

Yuan Shao was very apprehensive, he didn't expect Cao Cao to succeed in coercing Zhang Yan through the combination of the two, which was definitely not in his interest.

"General Zhang, bring all your men and horses. In this way, we will have an army of [-] troops. We will defeat Gongsun Zan just around the corner!" Cao Cao said.

Zhang Yan glanced at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao coughed and said, "Meng De, discuss this matter again."

Cao Cao didn't insist either, he just mentioned it casually to remind Yuan Shao that the initiative is now in his hands.

Sure enough, the effect was still there, and Yuan Shao had to deal with it cautiously.

If Cao Cao breaks the contract and withdraws from the war, Yuan Shao will lose a lot!

Cao Cao just lost a little reputation, but Yuan Shao wanted to fight Gongsun Zan directly, and he had to be careful of Cao Cao's sneak attack!

Yuan Shao thought that if he only sacrificed a little reputation, he could get huge benefits in exchange, and he would definitely do it.

Just like when he lied to Jizhou.

Zhang Yan surrendered, and Cao Yuan's alliance became more powerful and reached a new level.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan is in danger.

Gongsun Xu returned to Youzhou and told Gongsun Zan about the matter.

"Damn Zhang Yan!" Gongsun Zan cursed angrily.

However, it failed to cause any damage to Zhang Yan.What's more, Zhang Yan never owed Gongsun Zan anything.

"Now we have reached the most critical moment." Fan Fang said.

Of course Gongsun Zan knew, but what could he do?

Cao Cao is shameless, and so is Yuan Shao. When the two get together, who is their opponent?

"How is the army preparing?" Gongsun Zan asked.

"The assembly has been completed and we can fight at any time, but we only have [-] horses, so I'm afraid we are not opponents..." Fan Fang said.

Gongsun Zan was restless, sometimes pacing, sometimes moaning.

"My lord, we can still ask the Marquis of Dongyang for help." Fan Fang said.

Am I the kind of shameless person?Gongsun Zan thought angrily.

He refused Dongyang Hou's help before, how dare he ask for help now?

The news of Liaodong has come, Dongyang Hou defeated Liaodong Wang Gongsundu's [-] troops...

This news made Gongsun Zan's face still ache.

Because he said before that the Lord Hou of Dongyang came to help Youzhou because of the persecution of the Liaodong army.

As a result, Dongyang Hou wiped out the [-] army in a blink of an eye.

"Except for Marquis Dongyang, don't we have anyone we can trust?" Gongsun Zan asked.

Looking around, there really isn't one!

The north is the territory of Wuhuan, and Gongsun Zan has killed countless Wuhuan people.

Of course, there is also Gongsun Du who cannot protect himself.

Gongsun Zan suddenly realized that he was alone and helpless!

"Damn Zhang Yan, why did you betray me?" Gongsun Zan cursed again.

Fan Fang was speechless, why couldn't he lower his head and ask Dongyang Hou for help?

Gongsun Zan has his own pride.
