I am the number one mastermind of the Three Kingdoms!

Cao Cao's news soon spread to Yijing Gongsun Zhan.

After Gongsun Chan learned the news, he breathed a sigh of relief!

He just wanted to drive Yuan Shao away, if he could contain Yuan Shao just by holding on, he was naturally very willing.

However, for the sake of his own interests, he may listen to the advice of his advisers.

Gongsun Zhan forged a letter from Cao Ying to attack together, and deliberately leaked this letter to Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao saw this letter, he was faced with two choices.

Either use all your strength to capture Yijing as soon as possible, or let part of the troops return to Yecheng.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Yuan Shao knew that Yi Jing was not so easy to attack, but he didn't want Gongsun Zan to take this opportunity to recover.

Yuan Shao could only withdraw part of his men and horses to the vicinity of Yecheng to defend Cao Cao, while the rest of his men and horses were guarding the vicinity of Yijing.

In addition, Yuan Shao also ordered his envoys to send the letter to Xuchang and question Cao Cao.

It is naturally impossible for Cao Cao to leave written evidence in this kind of matter, and the letter itself is indeed forged by Gongsun Zhan, and the thick-skinned Cao Cao naturally denies it.

Not only did he not admit it, but he also denounced Gongsun Chan with the envoys.

It means that he and Yuan Shao want to form an alliance forever!

Faced with a smiling face in front of an overlord, this made the minister not want to be harsh, but said that he would bring Cao Cao's meaning to Yuan Shao.

After the envoy left, Cao Cao's face immediately became gloomy.

"This Gongsun Chan! Sure enough, he still can't be a dog with peace of mind!".

After a moment, Cao Cao's furrowed brows stretched again.

"However, it can be seen from the attitude of this envoy that Yuan Benchu doesn't want to turn against me now. "

Now the situation in the world is very clear.

Like Ma Teng in Xiliang, Liu Zhang in Sichuan and Shu, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Shixie in the south, these princes were more than successful and not enterprising.

Cao Cao now holds the Son of Heaven in his hand, and the only one who has enough strength and the idea of competing with Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's family!

As long as Yuan Shao is destroyed, the world can be determined!

Cheng Yu said with a smile at this time

"Yuan Benchu probably also knew that the lord was a great enemy, but he had just taken Youzhou and had not yet officially been included in his control, and he also needed time now. "

"Now it seems that we both know that the other side is lying, and the situation has forced us to maintain a superficial relationship like this. "

Hearing this, even Cao Cao felt a little headache!

From a deeper point of view, it is also helpless to be in this situation.

In the final analysis, Cao Ying did not have the determination to defeat Yuan Shao's camp.

If you just tear your face with Yuan Shao now, I'm afraid it will be similar to the behavior of the stunned Yuan Shu as the emperor.

It may be a good situation, but it will be lost in a moment!

"What we have to do now is to prepare for war! Beware of Yuan Benchu changing his mind and leading the army to suddenly besiege us!" Cheng Yu added.

For everyone, the current situation is, in the final analysis, just an analysis of the actual situation.

And there are times when the analysis is inaccurate!

Cao Ying still has to be prepared for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in advance!

"I have one thing to mention. "

When everyone said that what they said at this time was about to leave, Lu Yu spoke.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Lu Yu in unison.

"Boyu, do you think there's anything wrong?" asked Cheng Yu.

Lu Yu nodded.

He did think of the hidden dangers.

So in the puzzled eyes of everyone, Lu Yu said:

"Yuan Benchu was our number one enemy, yes, the other princes are probably watching from the sidelines, the only thing we have to worry about is Yuan Highway!".

"In the past, the two Yuan were extremely strong, and it was impossible for them to merge at that time. "

"But now it's different, Yuan Highway's backbone has been broken by us, and I'm afraid he will never have the possibility of fighting for hegemony on his own. "

At this time, Yuan Highway is not to say that he is the second child, as long as he can survive, he is probably willing to hand over all his things!".

"The confluence of the two Yuan at this moment is naturally not comparable to the confluence of the peak period, but it should not be underestimated, if it can be stopped, it must be stopped!"

When Liu Bei was robbed and killed in the past, it was Lu Yu who went in person.

And he was afraid of leaking the news, and he didn't even tell Cao Cao his purpose.

But there is no need to be so concerned about stopping Yuan Shu, Cao Ying can send a general.

Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard this, "I really didn't take this into account." "

"After we withdrew from Shouchun last time, Yuan Highway returned to Shouchun, but at that time, the grain and grass in Shouchun Mansion were emptied by us, and the drought on the Jianghuai side was getting more and more serious, I am afraid that he would not even be able to guarantee the grain and grass of his soldiers. "

"I still wanted to delay it for a while, and when Yuan Highway couldn't hold on, I would completely solve him, but I didn't expect him to defect to Yuan Benchu. "

In these troubled times, enemies may become friends, and friends may become enemies.

Because of the changes in their own strength, geography, and even various issues, the situation of friends and foes may change in an instant.

After March, Yuan Shu, who couldn't support it, took the remnants to the north and went to Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, who was the assassin of Qingzhou at the time.

On the way, he was blocked by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan sent by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu couldn't get through, so he could only return to Shouchun again.

However, at this moment, Yuan Shu's military rations only had some wheat crumbs.

In the past, the delicacies of the mountains and seas that Yuan Shu often ate were gone.

In the end, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died in grief and anger.

Yuan Shu's camp also fell apart because of Yuan Shu's death, some of his subordinates divided one side, some went to the princes of various places, and some directly fell into the grass and became bandits.

The scattered Yuan Shu forces are naturally not to be feared.

Cao Cao saw that the drought in the Jianghuai region was almost over, so he took Shouchun and formed an alliance with Sun Ce across the river.

At this point, the Yuan Shu camp withdrew from the stage of history, Sun Ce contributed gifts to the Xuchang court, and Cao Cao gave Sun Ce a correct name, appointed him as a rebellious general, and named him the Marquis of Wu.

Everything is going on steadily.

In Yuan Shao's camp, there was also a heated discussion.

Regarding Cao Ying's attitude, there are those who want to attack immediately to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and they must take a look for the time being, saying that they will wait for Gongsun Zhan to be completely wiped out, and then there are people who will tear their faces with Cao Ying.

But there is no doubt that the vast majority of people in Yuan Shao's camp also regard Cao Cao as the strongest opponent!

The difference is when to make a move on Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao sat on the first place, holding his forehead with his hand and frowning at the strategists below arguing, and then coughed lightly, and suddenly everyone quieted down.

"Stop arguing. "

"I can understand what you mean, you all think you should beat Cao Mengde. "

"However, some people say that they want to fight now, while others say that they will wait for the opportunity to fight again. "

Yuan Shao got up and said with a relatively calm face.

Tian Feng immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "What the lord said is right! Now that today's son is in the hands of Cao Mengde after all, if we rashly attack Cao Mengde, there is a risk of setting ourselves on fire!"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, "If you really want to be able to attack that Cao Mengde, isn't the reason just a casual idea?"

Tian Feng didn't say much.

Indeed, as Yuan Shao said, the reason is that if you really want to fight, you just want to find it casually, and it is not necessary for people in the world to believe it or not.

Tian Feng still thinks of conforming to the mandate of heaven.

At that moment, someone from outside the door ran in with a letter.

"Lord!".

"Something big happened in Xuchang!".

After Yuan Shao took the letter, he glanced at it, threw it to Tian Feng casually, and snorted coldly: "This Cao Mengde is really getting more and more unreasonable!".

Tian Feng just glanced at it and was immediately overjoyed.

"My lord, here's our chance!"
