The great man established his country with Confucianism, and Confucianism emphasized loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. No matter how powerful the subordinate princes were, they could not get their hands on the seat of the emperor. Yuan Gonggong, a reckless man, directly broke the rules, and he set up a target for others to hit.

Ever since, Cao Cao summoned all the counselors and generals who stayed in Changyi to discuss in the conference hall for a whole day, and the messengers went back and forth several times, and the battle of this winter was finally about to begin.

Cao Ren, who was far away in Xuzhou, was summoned back and led the army to guard the rear to ensure the safety of Changyi and Liangdao so that the army could focus on the southern war.

Xia Houyuan led an army to Qingzhou, and guarded Yuan Shao and Liu Bei together with Ma Chao who stayed in Xuzhou. No one wanted to waste their efforts in winter. The general has real skills. Whether he can fight this winter depends on whether Yuan Benchu ​​can bear it.

Yuan Gonglu didn't take the life and death of the people seriously, and the south was in a famine year. Yanzhou and Yuzhou were relatively stable under Cao Cao's governance. Yizhou and Jingzhou had never had any major wars, so they didn't have to worry about the people starving. It was time to show their talents. It's a pity that I didn't meet the lord who was as ambitious as Cao Mengde.

Yizhou Wudou Rice Religion is in full swing. As a state shepherd, Liu Zhang puts all his thoughts on suppressing it. He never thought of finding a way to use it for his own use. Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng is indeed very beautiful, but he has no ambitions. Ordinary actions may not be impossible, but now is a troubled time.

In troubled times, one cannot live without fighting or grabbing. Only by protecting oneself tightly with a sword and stabbing anyone who comes up can one have room to breathe.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, although the Son of Heaven is in Cao Cao's place, the whole world is still occupied by Han officials. It's not impossible to raise the banner of calming chaos, but everyone wants to see what others will do, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to please almost everyone. The royal family of the Han Dynasty, which had no use value, so abruptly gave up the opportunity to Cao Mengde.

Regarding this situation, all the counselors in Cao Ying expressed their joy. They have never seen such a considerate person, which is really admirable.

The crusade against Yuan Shu had been put on the charter long ago, but it was only now that it really fell into place. Originally, it was Guo Jia who was going to join the army, but Xi Zhicai was replaced by Xi Zhicai because he wanted to cover up the sudden improvement in his health.

Except for a few insiders, everyone thought that there was something wrong with Guo Fengxiao's health. Cao Cao was so frightened that he ran to his mansion every day before the expedition, for fear that a genius adviser who didn't pay attention to him would die.

Before that, Lu Ye had never met Cao Cao. Even if he stayed in Changyi for a few days, he just hid in Xi Zhicai's mansion and did not go out. Even meeting Cao Cao was only after Ma Chao came.

Before he had time to meet Cao Cao Cao Mengde, who was said to be majestic and majestic, he ran to Guo Jia's mansion when he had free time. Lu Ye pinched his brows, feeling that the rumors seemed unreliable.

What about Cao Mengde, who has agreed to be serious and strict?Who is this guy who worries about the health of his advisers every day?Bring back the Lord Cao who lived in his storybook!

Along with Lu Ye, there was another bastard who was shocked. He read all this history from books, which was even more unreliable than what Lu Ye saw.

Cao Cao didn't know what kind of blow his actions had caused to the two inexperienced "children", and he was relieved after confirming that Guo Jia's body was really fine.

There are so many counselors around him, Guo Jia may not be the most talented, but Guo Fengxiao is definitely the one who wins his heart the most.

Lu Ye was determined to travel south with Cao Mengde, so Jia Xu found some time and took him to meet him. Although he was about the same age as Ma Chao when he came here, Cao Mengde was less conscious of this young man who seemed to be smiling all the time. A little defensive.

The original tall image of this person has completely collapsed in the past few days. Even though Cao Cao looked solemn during the official meeting, Lu Ye couldn't regain his original feeling in a short time, and could only smile at life with a stiff face.

Fortunately, he was young, and after only saying a few words, he was sent aside to communicate with Cao Ang.

With Jia Xu at the front, most of the young people are simple-minded and easy to get along with. Just before the expedition, Lu Ye had already gotten along with the young men of the same age in Cao Ying. When the army marched south, All the soldiers around Cao Cao knew that there was another young general from Liangzhou in the army.

With Ma Mengqi Zhuyu in front, everyone wanted to know if Lu Ye was a young genius like Ma Chao. It happened that this time he followed the army, and several young people also had the idea of ​​fighting for the front.

In addition to the generals that Cao Cao often brought with him, there were many young people accompanying him on the Southern Expedition, including Cao Ang and Lu Ye, and Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao were old acquaintances during the Kanto Alliance. They were the only two in the entire alliance who really attacked Dong Zhuo. Familiar with each other, but have some appreciation for each other.

Cao Cao now represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. When he received the letter of solicitation from him, Sun Jian completely abandoned Yuan Gonggong, the lord who would only do bad things, and brought the soldiers and horses who went back to Jiangdong with him back to the Central Plains to meet each other.

Although Sun Wentai himself never stayed behind, he kept his eldest son, Sun Ce, by Cao Cao's side. He then went back to Jiangdong to clean up the disobedient guys around him.

The situation in Jiangdong and the Central Plains is very different. Those aristocratic families are sure that Sun Wentai’s choice will do them more good than harm, so they have been helping this mud-legged general. But Jiangdong not only has local aristocratic family members, but also many officials appointed by the court. .

The world has been in conflict for a long time. Those officials assigned to Jiangdong did not listen to the emperor's orders, but attached to powerful princes such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Because of the proximity to Huainan, most of Jiangdong's officials were disciples of the Yuan family.

Sun Wentai returned to Jiangdong to integrate the forces of all parties, which happened to cut off Yuan Gonglu's last retreat.

All the way towards Shouchun, the three teenagers who Jia Xu thought would not be in too much danger rushed to the front when they played, and their sharper style of play than the veterans made people dare not underestimate them.

Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were already torn apart, and their food reserves were gradually depleted. Facing Cao Cao's army, they could not raise any resistance. After holding on for half a month, Yuan Gonglu, who couldn't hold on, took Shouchun's palace The fire burned, and then prepared to flee Shouchun.

Maybe it was because he committed too many crimes before, and none of his former subordinates were willing to accept him. In desperation, he could only ask his brother-in-law Yuan Shao for help, and gave him a large piece of land in Huainan as a gift.

The relationship between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao was not good. Before, they wanted to kill each other, but Yuan Gonglu had ended up like this. Yuan Shao, who was far away in the north, would not take the initiative to help, and he probably enjoyed the joke in private.

However, since he paid the price of the land in Huainan, saving him once is not a big deal for the sake of the territory. After this incident, everyone in the world knows that Yuan Gonglu is a waste who fled.

At the junction of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, the ice and snow land was silent, and the creaking sound of the carriage rolling over the snow was very obvious on the empty official road.

A group of less than 500 guards escorted the carriage in the middle towards the north. The person sitting in the carriage was none other than Yuan Shu who escaped from Shouchun.

He exchanged a large piece of land in Huainan for the protection of his concubine brother Yuan Shao. Originally, there would be an army here to respond, but this was because Yuan Shao and Donghai Liu Bei had a rift, and the soldiers and horses who responded could not pass through Xuzhou at all, so he had to go to Jizhou by himself. .

Yuzhou and Yanzhou are all Cao Cao's territories. Although most of Xuzhou is also under the jurisdiction of Cao Mengde, there are at least some places that are not covered by them.

Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness outside, Yuan Shu frowned and looked at the crackling charcoal fire, his expression was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On both sides of the official road not far away, the soldiers hiding under the snow nests tensed up when they heard the movement. Lu Ye and Sun Ce looked at each other tacitly, and rushed out when the carriage was about to arrive. .

A heroic young man stood in the middle of the road, with a long gun and a smirk, "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you can buy road money!"

Sun Ce, who was a step too late, didn't have time to say what he had prepared, was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched, moving away from Lu Ye.

Are all the people from Xiliang like this?

The soldiers around the carriage froze for a moment, then quickly confronted the rushing soldiers and horses with their weapons, "Who are you waiting for, why are you blocking our way?"

Bandits never intercepted officers and soldiers. No matter how powerful the bandits were, they would only run away when encountering well-equipped soldiers and horses. Although this young man looked like a bandit, he would definitely not be a bandit who robbed his way.

Sun Ce, who was covering his forehead, looked at Lu Ye, who looked like a robber, and ground his teeth, then pushed him aside and replied loudly, "In the east of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce, on the orders of my lord, I am here to invite Duke Yuan to Yanzhou for a talk."

Yuan Shu, who was jolted in the carriage, looked even more gloomy when he heard these words. He lifted the curtain and saw that the two and a half young boys were leading the way, and immediately ordered to kill them out.

Seeing that he was about to break through Cao Cao's blockade, if it was broken by two brats, wouldn't he, Yuan Gonglu, become a waste that anyone could step on?

Lu Ye rubbed his nose, put his broken soul on his shoulders and looked at Yuan Shu with raised eyebrows, "If you want to live on from now on, keep some money to buy roads, the weather is fine today, I don't want to keep too much, it's enough to keep people behind." Yea, Yuan Gong thinks it’s not worth it?”

If they don't think it's appropriate, they don't mind seeing some blood first and then "inviting" the person back.

Even if he was so embarrassed that he fled with the disabled soldiers, he had never seen anyone talking to him like this. Yuan Shu's face was ashen, and he rolled up his sleeves and entered the carriage. Out of sight, out of mind.

It is said that Sun Jian's son is quite like his father. Sun Wentai betrayed him, and his son blocked his way.

Lu Ye shrugged and looked at Sun Ce, feeling that he was being neglected, so he put his broken soul on the ground and was eager to try, "People look down on us, so what are you waiting for?"

Sun Ce looked away from Yuan Shu's carriage, and looked at Lu Ye's palms a little itchy. As one of his own, he felt the urge to punch someone when he heard this kid speak, let alone the person opposite him.

After muttering a few words about not being able to fight in bed at the moment, Sun Ce stretched his muscles and bones, the two looked at each other and rushed forward with their weapons in hand.

Yuan Shu and his two brats couldn't stop him, but they forgot that the two of them were young, but the soldiers they brought with them were all experienced soldiers. How could the lord despise such a big matter as intercepting Yuan Gonglu?

After experiencing countless interceptions along the way, the soldiers and horses around Yuan Shu were already exhausted. Although Lu Ye and Sun Ce only had a hundred men, they did not show any weakness at all.

The soldiers who tried to fight out quickly dispersed, and none of these people were soft-hearted guys. In just a short while, the surrounding snow was stained red with blood.

As if they knew they couldn't kill them, the soldiers around Yuan Shu gradually lost their fighting spirit, and retreated back around the carriage bit by bit.

With one shot, the person standing in front of him was pushed away, and the young man with a smile on his lips jumped onto the carriage, squatted halfway and opened the curtain with an innocent face, "You can't stop talking, don't you still have to listen to us now?" ?"

Yuan Shu, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rush out but failed to do so, was terrified, looked at the young man who was close at hand, and said fiercely, "Who am I, Yuan Gonglu, how can I allow you and other yellow-mouthed children to bully me?"

"Shut up, Lu Atu, don't talk so much nonsense, kid." Before Lu Ye could speak, he hurriedly stopped him, and Sun Ce drove him down directly, for fear that he would be so angry here that he would not be able to deal with business.

Glancing at Yuan Gonglu, who was breathing heavily and almost out of breath, Sun Ce quickly looked away, instead of trying to drag him out of the carriage, he tied him up and let him drive the carriage away.

He was also by his side when his father was working under this man before. Yuan Gonglu is a man of extravagance, and he refuses to be wronged even if he spends money on food and clothing. , I'm afraid even the outside is resplendent and resplendent.

This person has long been hollowed out by wine and sex, if he can't survive Yanzhou because of the wind and cold after leaving the carriage, it will be a real thankless effort.

Successfully intercepting Yuan Shu made Lu Ye and Sun Ce heave a sigh of relief. They had been guarding here for three or four days. If Yuan Gonglu diverted along the way, all their efforts would be in vain. Fortunately, the news they got was all right.

"It's really hard to squat in the ice and snow. So many days have passed, and I don't know what's going on with the lord." Sun Ce rubbed his hands, telling the soldiers to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and prepare to leave.

"Where are you going? You haven't seen winter on the prairie. It's okay if it doesn't snow. When it snows, even people can be frozen into popsicles." Growing up in Liangzhou, he followed Lu Buman in the prairie in recent years. Running around, Lu Ye didn't think the coldness was anything. He looked at Sun Ce rubbing the snow and warming his hands and couldn't help but said, "Are you Jiangdong people so afraid of the cold?"

Their father refuses to go out in winter, holding a hand stove wrapped in fox fur and not moving at all, if it is not forced by the mother to go out for two steps every day, it is estimated that father will not leave the room all winter .

After hitting Lu Ye with a snowball, Sun Ce twitched his eyes when he saw the man's strange armor, "Did you forget that Mr. Shaoliang is from Jiangdong, so you are also from Jiangdong?"

"Can it be the same?" Lu Ye murmured in a low voice, and replied casually, and didn't bother with this question any more. When the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were straightened up, they got on their horses and prepared to leave.

Although this area already belongs to Cao Cao, Cao Cao's control here is already very weak. They ambush here because they guess that Yuan Shu will probably choose this path. After all, he is escaping from Cao Mengde's pursuit, so he has to choose a place beyond his control. just work.
