Yanzhou, East County.

After Cao Cao returned from Yecheng, he had been trying to get along with Liu Dai, and offered the right to sell drunken fairy brew and soap and soap.

Liu Dai was very satisfied with Cao Cao, and he was even more concerned about him.

A few months later, Liu Dai suddenly became ill, suddenly bedridden, and his body ~ subbones were even weaker.

The doctor treated and judged that his time was not long, and he could not live for more than a few days.

As soon as this news came out, officials in Yanzhou began to think carefully.

Taishou Mansion, study.

Cao Cao and his advisers gathered, and in addition to the mastermind Xia Zhicai, there were also his newly recruited advisers Xun Yu and Chen Gong.

Speaking of which, Xun Yu should not have appeared here.

Historically, at this time, he should have taken refuge in Jizhou, and then served Yuan Shao, and had not yet left Yuan Shao to join Cao Cao.

Su Yan ruled Jizhou, and Xun Yu did not go to Jizhou, but directly chose to lead troops alone to pursue Cao Cao of Dong Zhuo.

There is no doubt that it was Cao Cao's spirit of pursuing Dong Zhuo that moved Xun Yu.

In addition, there are also those who are engaged in full favor, as well as a number of advisers under his command.

While Cao Cao focused on developing his own strength, he also paid attention to the situation in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao was beaten by Su Yan and lost his armor, and all this news was continuously transmitted back.

Xia Zhicai said: "In order to defeat Su Yan and seize Jizhou, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to send assassins to assassinate his father, help Gongsun Zan capture Youzhou, and then unite with him and Wuhuan to attack Su Yan together, but this move is a loss of reputation and a waste of Yuan's great connections!"

Cao Cao made a cold face and said disdainfully: "Disaster to the family, Yuan Shao assassinated Su Yan's father and united with Wuhuan, such an action is despicable." "

He looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, when you issue a notice, just say that I Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have cut off friendship, and I don't disdain to be with this kind of person who uses foreign races to cause trouble." "

"Yes!"

Xun Yu nodded in agreement, he understood Cao Cao's character.

Xia Zhicai changed his tone and said, "Lord, the battle for Jizhou is already in full swing, and to the last point, we Yanzhou cannot be left behind." "

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xun Yu and continued: "Dong Zhuo bullied the Son of Heaven, the lord does not have enough strength, it is impossible to be a king, and it is impossible to be a Zhongxing Han family, and it is necessary to increase his strength as soon as possible. "

Cao Cao asked, "Will Zhicai be released?"

At this time, Xun Yu was also quite looking forward to it, waiting for Xia Zhicai's strategy, Xia Zhicai looked cold and solemn, and slowly said: "The limit of Liu Dai is approaching, we should win the hearts of other officials in Yanzhou as soon as possible, and let them elect the lord as the new Yanzhou assassin." "

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhicai is right, Yanzhou has long been regarded by me as a bag, and it must not be stolen by outsiders, so this matter will be handed over to the public office to operate, and it must be handled well." "

"Whoosh!"

Chen Gong said with a serious face.

Cao Cao looked at Xia Zhicai and said, "You see that the war in Jizhou is hot, should we help Su Yan?"

Xia Zhicai said, "What does the lord plan to do?"

Cao Cao said: "Our current strength is still slightly insufficient just to protect Yanzhou, so I didn't plan to implement the dispatch of troops, so I simply sent some grain to help Su Yan." "

"In this way, with him to contain Yuan Shao and several of their forces, we can also develop in Yanzhou with peace of mind, otherwise if Jizhou changes hands, our situation will not be much better." "

Xun Yu said: "The lord agrees with this remark, Su Yan has the same heart for the Son of Heaven Han Chamber, and should not be murdered by a chaotic thief like Yuan Shao, we still have to help if we can." "

Xia Zhicai saw that Xun Yu and Cao Cao were both inclined to help Su Yan, and he shook his head and said, "Since the lord has already made up his mind, there is no objection to the humble position." "

In fact, he did not approve of helping Su Yan.

Because according to his observations, although Su Yan was under siege by the three forces, his foundation was deep and his ability was strong, and most of the military generals under his command were capable people, and it was impossible to defeat him in this siege.

Su Yan wanted to defeat these three forces, but sooner or later.

For Cao Cao, it should be as late as possible.

After all, the sooner Su Yan defeated Yuan Shao and them, the sooner he could dominate Jizhou and Youzhou, completely stabilize his foundation, and then steadily develop his strength.

At that time, for Cao Cao, who had just taken charge of Yanzhou, Su Yan was definitely a very formidable enemy, and it was very difficult to confront him.

Therefore, if they could let Yuan Shao and them drag Su Yan and delay the time for him to win, this would be the best for Yanzhou.

It's just that Xia Zhicai can also see that although Cao Cao is asking him, he is already determined to help Su Yan.

After all, he and Su Yan had an irreversible relationship, and the relationship between the two was different from that of ordinary friends, and Cao Cao naturally did not want to see him defeated.

·· 0 Ask for flowers...

Xia Zhi understood Cao Cao's intentions, so he did not oppose it, and simply followed Cao Cao's intentions.

Watching everyone leave the study, they all went to prepare for the next thing.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Su Yan is in difficulty, he naturally wants to help, but he can't be left behind by him, he is bound to Yanzhou!

...............

Runan, Taishou Province.

Liu Bei was dressed in a gorgeous costume and sat with his sword pressed, and his serious cheeks showed a majesty.

Liu Bei gained a foothold in Runan, constantly collecting the Yellow Turban soldiers and recruiting soldiers to strengthen his strength.

Today, Liu Bei has swept most of Runan County, and the yellow turban thieves who ravaged Runan have also been collected by Liu Bei.

................ 0

For a time, Liu Bei's power was strong, and he faintly had the demeanor of a great prince.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the others sat below, in addition, Liu Bei's newly recruited martial general Chen Zhi, as well as the golden generals Gong Du, Liu Pi and others, for Liu Bei, this was already quite large.

Liu Bei looked at the generals under the account, faintly excited. His gaze swept and fell on Jian Yong, "Xianhe, how many counties in Runan County are not annexed?"

Jian Yong thought for a moment and replied, "Lord Hui, of the thirty-seven counties in Runan, twenty-five counties have already been annexed, and twelve counties are resisting. "

"The lord has swept through the counties, and his power has been achieved, and he believes that the counties should be subdued by gentle means now. When they saw the power of the lord, they would not dare to resist, and the lord could control Runan County in one fell swoop. "

Liu Bei nodded, his eyes excited.

When he first arrived in Runan, he was able to gain a foothold in Runan because of the help of Gong Du and Liu Pi.

It seems that Liu Bei controlled Runan, but many counties were still out of control.

After more than a year of governance and crusade, Liu Bei gradually gained control of the counties.

The strength in his hands has also made great progress.

Liu Bei was proud, thought of Su Yan again, and asked, "What news is coming from Jizhou?"

Jian Yong replied: "According to the latest news, Yuan Shao sent people to assassinate Su Yan's father, and then united with Gongsun Zan and Wu Huan to attack Jizhou, Su Yan's situation is precarious, and he may be defeated at any time. "_
