There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei pondered carefully for a moment, and said: "Brother, Yuan Shao is not an idler, you must not let him deceive you."

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother. I know why Yuan Shao did this. After the first battle at Guandu, Yuan Shao's absolute advantage no longer existed in a short period of time, but he also wanted to take revenge in a short period of time, so I can only endure the humiliation, ask the old man for help, and agree to submit to the court, hehe, but he thought he was using the pottery to hang the old man, but the old man is still using the pottery to hang him!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please enlighten me."

Liu Biao said with a smile: "This time, the old man joined forces with Ji Yu's troops to fight against the pottery merchants. The outcome is the second priority. Even if he can't beat the pottery merchants, the old man can suddenly transfer his troops to point at the pottery Jing Nan, Zhang Xian betrayed the old man and made a separate regime for himself. The old man will take care of him when he thinks the old man is the busiest! As long as Jing Nan is reassured, even without Yuan Shao's support, the old man will not be afraid of pottery , enough to stand against him.”

Liu Bei suddenly realized when he heard the words.

But then he raised another concern.

"Brother, it's just that Yuan Shao was suspected of harming the late emperor. Although there is no evidence for this matter at present, if someone with a heart catches him in the future, I'm afraid it will be bad for us. Please think again, brother."

Chapter 6 Eleven: The First Battle Between the Two Dynasties

Liu Bei's words actually made Liu Biao ponder for a while, thinking carefully.

It has to be said that Liu Bei's thinking is still in place. If Liu Biao is an ordinary prince, this matter is harmless. Or in the current Han Dynasty, there is only one court supported by his own side, and the disadvantages of uniting with Yuan Shao can be ignored.

But right now, there are two imperial courts in this land of Middle-earth!And fire and water are incompatible.

Both imperial courts regard themselves as orthodox, always keep an eye on each other's situation, and plan to use political means to attack each other at any time.

What Liu Bei is worried about is that although there is no evidence at the moment, the death of the late emperor Liu Xie can be seen as having something to do with him. political status will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, although Liu Bei didn't know the pottery as well as Cao Cao, he knew to some extent that this man looked like a gentleman, but he was actually very scheming. Once he knew his true situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Biao thought carefully for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"My dear brother, although your worry is justified, what you need to worry about right now is the actual problem in front of you. Pottery merchants are indeed enemies. Besides, Yuan Shao was also the leader of the princes. It is carefully concealed, tried hard to conceal it, and certainly will not be easily leaked. In my opinion, this matter is worth taking a risk."

Seeing that Liu Biao had made up his mind, Liu Bei didn't say anything more.

In fact, he also had some expectations in his heart.

The battle between the princes is like a master's fight. Although it is dangerous, it can also show the man's ability and situation.

A good opponent is really hard to find in the world.

It is true that although the potter is young, he is definitely a rare and good opponent in this world.

Liu Bei was both worried and hopeful.

Somewhat perverted psychology.

Nothing in the world can be hidden from the school affairs office.

The small actions of Jingzhou Sanliu and Yuan Shao are also the same.

The news was soon reported to the potter by Guo Jia who came from Pengcheng.

Faced with the powerful alliance between the two major forces in the North and the South, Prime Minister Taiping also feels a little uneasy at the moment.

Above the court discussion, the potter directly expressed his thoughts and worries.

"According to the report from the school affairs office, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao seem to have the intention to unite. Ever since the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao has always wanted to take revenge. This time he united with Liu Biao, and he made it clear that he wanted to deal with Xuzhou and Jiangdong. If the northerners fight with them, I am afraid that the battle line will be too long, and I am afraid that our army will not be able to bear it."

Guo Jia still had a grinning look, and that expression was a bit lacklustre.

"This matter is not difficult, but there is a lack of planners who can't figure out the key."

The potter's reaction was quick, and he was angry after hearing Guo Jia's words.

If it weren't for the large number of people in the hall right now, I would have shot the prodigal son into a sieve with a short crossbow.

Isn't this beating around the bush and hurting yourself?

"What's David Guo's opinion, why don't you tell me straight up?" The pottery merchant gritted his teeth and looked at him with a smile.

Guo Jia made a long bow and said, "Although Yuan Shao wanted to take revenge, the Battle of Guandu caused most of Hebei's elite to live in Henan and Xuzhou. It may be extremely difficult to regain power in a short period of time. Yuan Shao's power is gradually declining, and Zhang Yan in Montenegro will surely rise up. The prime minister might as well send someone through Bai Rao to make friends with Zhang Yan again, and grant him imperial title in the name of the new dynasty. This can encourage Zhang Yan to restrain Yuan Shao for us in the rear. And the prime minister sits in the southeast and personally deals with Sanliu, and sends a general to guard Pengcheng for you and blockade the border of Xuzhou. As time goes on, Yuan Shao in the north will naturally retreat."

Zhao Yun stepped out of the class and said, "Even so, although Yuan Shao's strength has regressed, his background is still extremely strong. Hebei is densely populated, with abundant grain and abundant talents. I'm afraid Zhang Yan won't be able to restrain Yuan Shao for long."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Zhang Yan is just the first step. The person who can really help us restrain Yuan Shao in the north is actually someone else."

Zhuge Liang listened carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, and said: "Mr. Guo is referring to Cao Cao from Xuchang?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "In this world, apart from the prime minister, who can restrain Yuan Shao, who else but Cao Cao?"

Chen Deng frowned, thinking: "But the problem is, the relationship between us and Cao Cao is not the same as it was in the Battle of Guandu. At that time, Yuan Shao was powerful and Cao Tao's two armies were united. Survive, but now that Yuan Shao's power is declining, we and Cao Cao have our own plans, not to mention the last time the prime minister designed to take thousands of Cao Cao's war horses, what kind of enmity is this? How could Cao Cao agree to our request for help."

Guo Jia laughed, and said: "Yuanlong, you are blinded by this matter. If we take the initiative to ask Cao Cao for help, Cao Cao will definitely not be willing to send troops. Don't ask for help, let Cao Cao see the situation clearly and make a judgment."

Chen Deng blinked his eyes in surprise, pondered carefully for a while, and then suddenly said: "Feng Xiao is really a good idea!"

The pottery merchant also understood Guo Jia's meaning at this moment.

Guo Jia's intention was to let Cao Cao wait and see the changes, and then make a judgment. Xuzhou would not use external force as an influence to disrupt Cao Cao's own thinking.

It should be known that Cao Cao is currently occupying the Central Plains. If he wants to expand, he must go north or west.

In Guanzhong to the west, Zhong Yao was there to appease him and unite him. It was no big deal. If the persecution was urgent, it would be easy to cause accidents and fail to control those scattered small groups of warlords.

Looking at Cao Cao's current strategic depth, it is still the most practical to plot Hebei.

Yuan Shao was hit hard by this. If he didn't seize every opportunity to march to Hebei, it would be a bad thing if the surname Yuan was relieved after a few years.

Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao's abilities and skills best. He was able to defeat Yuan Shao. The difficulties and difficulties involved made Cao Cao tremble with fear, and he dared not make extravagant hopes for the second time.

Even in his dreams, he dared not give Yuan Shao a chance to turn things around.

What's more, Cao Cao is not the only one who is eyeing the Yuan family's territory. The pottery merchants are fierce tigers, and their eyes like wolves and foxes have been staring closely at the territory of Hebei.

This time the potters were fighting on two fronts, and Yuan Shao sent troops. If Zhang Yan entangled Yuan Shao again, Cao Cao weighed the pros and cons, and there was no reason why he would not send troops to Hebei to seize land.

And psychologically, he still thinks he's pretty smart.

After figuring out the key point, the potter immediately said: "The land of Pengcheng will be handed over to Lu Su and Tai Shici to take full responsibility for preventing Yuan Shao from Qingzhou. The elite Sun Qian from Qingzhou will go to Heishan to meet Bai Rao as an envoy. He sent troops, and the movement on Cao Cao's side should not be ignored. Feng Xiao, you arranged for the school office to closely monitor it. As for Nanchang, Tao will be here. He will personally meet with Liu Biao and Liu Bei. Tao will see how many of them there are. weight."

Chapter 6 Twelve: The Battle of Jiangxia

After Liu Xi came to the throne, the potters used Chen Deng as the minister and Mi Zhu as the minister, trying to win over and appease the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, and then sent Lu Su, his eldest brother Tai Shici, Tao Ji and others to lead the old Japanese civil and military guards in Xuzhou to guard Pengcheng. , Beifang Yuan Shao, himself a vigorous soldier, preparing for the first confrontation with the Sanliu Puppet Dynasty Group in Jingzhou.

And the Sanliu Group also coincidentally, ready to prepare for a real tough battle with the pottery merchants.

This battle is inevitable for both sides.

Whether you fight or not, you have to win, the outcome is secondary, but this matter must be done.
