This is how things are in the world. The plans of the two sides intersected in Xuzhou. One hoped to destroy Yuan Shao as soon as possible, and the other hoped to surround Liu Bian and succeeded in one fell swoop.

But in the end who killed the deer, it is naturally unclear now.

At this time, Yuan Shao naturally didn't know that everyone's attention was on him.

At this moment, he was about to press Pengcheng, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly.

He was even very happy, all the hard work belonged to Cao Cao, but all the benefits were taken away by him.

As long as he wins Pengcheng, the entire south of Surabaya is his territory.

The entire Xuzhou will also be under his rule.

Thirty miles south of Pengcheng.

At this time, the sky had already dimmed, so Yuan Shao's army naturally stopped to set up camp. He was preparing to take down Pengcheng tomorrow, at least in the first battle, to be afraid of the defenders.

The night was desolate, and the wind was cold.

Yuan Shao was about to rest.

He heard an announcement from outside, and then, under the leadership of the soldiers, Xu You came in from outside.

Xu You was the person he sent to Cao Cao to represent him. At this moment, when he suddenly came back, Yuan Shao was stunned.

However, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and said, "Ziyuan, why are you back? But what's the important thing?"

Xu You saluted Yuan Shao: "My lord, I'm going to report something important!! 39

"event?"

Yuan Shao laughed twice in his heart. Now he is the most relaxed, and his opponents are only second-rate people. Yuan Shao has never cared about it.

Xu You also saw disdain on Yuan Shao's face. He was not surprised. Yuan Shao was a self-willed person. It could be said that as long as he achieved a little success, he would fly to the sky, and he would not care about anything.

Thinking that Yuan Shao was concerned with his own prosperity after all, he still spoke respectfully: "Cao Cao and Zhou Yu have both analyzed that Liu Bian's next move is likely to be aimed at us, so the lord must prepare as soon as possible, and must not take it lightly. It's best not to move forward here."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao frowned: "Liu Bian has such great power? He wants to defend against foreigners in the north, and he has just obtained the land of Guanzhong in the west. Now we have not found a large-scale army here. Cao Bao and Wang Lang have even shrunk their defenses, except for the most important places, there is no defense at all, how can there be fakes?"

"Is this Cao Mengde bluffing? Is he afraid that I will get Qingzhou and Xuzhou alone?

"This person is really cunning. He has just won Jingzhou, and I haven't acted yet, so he comes to make a stumbling block. What kind of alliance is it?"

The more Yuan Shao said, the angrier he became. If Cao Cao was here, I'm afraid he would like to scold him severely.

When Xu You heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Although I guessed that Yuan Shao would be dissatisfied with this, I didn't expect the reaction to be so big.

He was even doubting at this moment whether he was with the wrong person and whether he should consider the opinion that Cao Cao gave him last time.

Shaking his head, throwing the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Xu You spoke again: "My lord, although this is inferred by Cao Mengde, we can't help it.

"Liu Bian's moves are always unexpected. Our strength is the weakest. If it is really designed by Liu Bian, it will be us who will suffer."

"As for Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Cao Cao is busy resisting Liu Bian at the moment, how can he have time to fight with us?""

"Sooner or later is ours!!

Hearing this, the anger on Yuan Shao's face faded a lot.

There was a trace of solemnity on his face: "Liu Bian's plan is obviously to recover Luoyang City, our scouts are very clear about it, how can they change the target again?

Xu Youdao: "" 々 Liu Bian's actions have always been unexpected, often making people unable to guess.

"Let's be careful, and we won't get caught."

"My lord, do you still remember the big defeat in Jizhou? How much advantage did we have at that time? But what happened in the end? It wasn't completely wiped out by Liu Bian! 35

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao, who was originally disdainful, also showed a trace of fear on his face.

That matter was his own experience, and even if the people under his command were not desperate to break out of the siege, his old life might have to be explained there.

"But now that Pengcheng is about to be taken down, Wang Lang and Cao Bao have retreated to Sishui, and are planning to take Xiapi as a stronghold. How can they not eat the fat that comes to their mouths?"

Xu You said: "My lord, since this is the case, it is better for Pengcheng to try to take it first. If we can take it smoothly, it is considered that we have taken root in Xu (good, good) prefecture. If we encounter stubborn resistance, there is no need for us to waste Asia there. .

"Besides, Sun Jian has agreed to come to support us, and if he is surrounded by Liu Bian, he can cooperate with each other.

"It's just that when Sun Jian's army has not yet arrived, you must never cross Sishui!!"

After Xu You finished saying this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.

"Cao Mengde is quite interesting, and he even said that Sun Jian was moved.

"So what are we afraid of?

"It is my wish to defeat Liu Bian, I am afraid that this time I will finally succeed!!

"Ha ha.""

. . . .

Hearty laughter drifted throughout the camp, showing that Yuan Shao was in a very good mood.
