In Yecheng, Yuan Shao summoned Zhao Long, Liu Bei, and Tian Qi to discuss matters. These feudal lords were all feudal lords who were attached to Yuan Shao, and each had his own thoughts.

Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, also had ambitions to compete in the Central Plains.

As soon as Chutian came back, he launched a massive attack on Yuzhou, which caused Yuan Shao's concern. At the suggestion of military advisor Xu You, Yuan Shao summoned all the princes and subordinates to discuss the matter of attacking Yanzhou in the south.

In Xu You's view, this is the best time to attack Yanzhou.

Xu You was also a strategist with a vicious vision, and he was far from being a top strategist, but he was enough for Yuan Shao.

At least now Xu You's actions have caused Chu Tian a lot of trouble.

Yuan Shao united Zhao Long, Liu Bei, and Tian Qi to go south, and Yanzhou was threatened, and Chutian's offensive against Yuzhou would come to an abrupt end.

Yuan Shao agreed with Xu You's proposal, so he gathered all the forces of Jizhou and prepared to go south to attack Chutian with troops from Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

"The lord attacked Puyang, Zhao Long attacked Baima, Xuande and Tian Qi attacked Gaotang. The three troops crossed the river and marched in parallel, so that Chu Zimou could not care for each other, and the situation would be like a broken bamboo. Within a year and a half, Chu Zimou would definitely Defeated!"

Xu You talked about the attack on Yanzhou at the banquet.

If Chu Tian was present, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. Xu You's three-way strategic plan poses a great threat to Chutian. Yuan Shao went all the way, including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, Hulu Mingyue, and Lanling King.

Zhao Long all the way, there are Sui Dynasty commander Yang Su, Han Chuhu, Shi Wansui and so on.

Liu Bei and Tian Qi all the way, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ashina Sheer, Feng Yi, Tian Dan, Sun Bin and so on.

The 300,000-strong army of Jizhou is heading south, and Chutian must be fully defended in order to hold it.

"What do the military advisors think?"

Liu Bei asked Chen Xi, the military advisor beside him, in a low voice.

Chen Xi replied: "As Xu You said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack Yanzhou. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no chance to take Yanzhou again."

Liu Bei asked Chen Xi again: "Do we need to follow Yuan Benchu's deployment?"

At this time, Zhang Fei, who was sitting next to Liu Bei, couldn't hold back: "Big Brother is still Youzhou Mu, and he is almost the same as the Jizhou Mu, the leader of Yuan Alliance. Why should he obey his orders! Big Brother wants to do, then do it!"

"The third brother cannot..."

Zhang Fei's two words immediately caught everyone's attention.

Yuan Shao's face was not so pretty.

Zhang Fei said impatiently: "If you want to fight, fight, and Zhang Yide will accompany him. If you don't fight, you won't fight. I'll go back to wash and sleep!"

Yuan Shao had seen Zhang Fei's ferocity on the battlefield of the National War, and he no longer dared to say that Zhang Fei was an ordinary archer: "Yide, don't be impatient, if you have no opinion, then we will send an army of 300,000 people from Jizhou to attack Yanzhou. "

"My lord is not allowed."

Zhao Long did not agree with Yuan Shao's approach.

As the biggest force attached to Yuan Shao, Zhao Long has the strength to almost stand against Yuan Shao in court. look sideways.

Yuan Shao had just been contradicted by Zhang Fei, but now Zhao Long is attacking again, holding back the anger that is about to erupt, pretending to be calm: "Why?"

Zhao Long replied: "Bingzhou Shepherd Huma lost to us in the Youzhou War next time, and he is unwilling. Once Jizhou's 300,000 army goes south, he will definitely attack Jizhou. In this way, Jizhou will all be owned by Bingzhou Shepherd."

Xu You had been prepared for a long time: "I have ordered a letter to be repaired in Bingzhou, Hu Ma, and stated the interests in the letter. He has promised us that we will not attack Jizhou, and our army can attack Yanzhou with confidence."

"Soldiers are tricky. In order to take Jizhou, Huma deliberately agrees to let us go south to attack Yanzhou. Once we gather all our troops and go south,

Then fall for it. "

"Huma must not know the reason that lips die and teeth are cold. What is the benefit of Chu Zimou's growth?"

"When Huma annexes Jizhou, he will sit on the three states of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. He has the ability to compete with Chu Zimou. He will not miss this opportunity. The lord's army to the south with the strength of one state is already a dead bone in the grave! "

Zhao Long and Xu You quarreled in front of everyone, and also involved Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao couldn't help being furious, he pulled out his sword and pointed at Zhao Long: "My fourth prince of the Yuan family, what a dead bone in a tomb! I dare not kill you!?"

Zhao Long's face was pale.

Han Chuhu and Shi Wansui quickly got up, armed with weapons to protect Zhao Long.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou protected Yuan Shao.

Everyone present was disturbed by the turbulent atmosphere and discouraged them one after another.

Zhao Longgong was the leader of Gao Zhen, and everyone had already faintly felt that the contradiction between the two sides would break out sooner or later. And now, it's on the verge of breaking out.

Yuan Shao already had the intention to kill Zhao Long, just like he killed Ju Yi in history.

However, Zhao Long, who knew the trend at the end of the Han Dynasty and had a group of generals at the same time, was not as easy to provoke as Ju Yi. He had the qualifications to challenge Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei wanted to get up to persuade him to fight, but was held down by military adviser Chen Xi: "Lord, let's see how they solve this matter, maybe it's our chance."

Guan Yu stroked his long soft beard and said to Liu Bei in a low voice: "What the strategist said is very true. From the second brother's point of view, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Zhang Fei said, "Me too!"

Liu Bei did not get up after listening to the advice of several cronies.

Over there, Jizhou's advisers have already gone up to dissuade the two who are fighting with each other, and Ju Shou hastened to smooth things out: "General Zhao Long, the lord is only in anger for a while, and does not mean to offend, please don't misunderstand the general."

The judge said to Yuan Shao, "Please take back the weapon. Weapons can be used against enemies, but not against friends?"

Yuan Shao realized that he was really impulsive, so he put away his weapons. But he did not let go of the air of the fourth and third princes, and took the initiative to show his softness to Zhao Long.

Zhao Long was disheartened: "I, Zhao Long, laid down the current territory for the master, thinking about it all for the master, but being treated like this is really unfair!"

After Zhao Long finished speaking, he threw his long sword on the ground, and angrily led Han Chuhu and Shi Wansui to leave.

Everyone present, except for Liu Bei and Tian Qi, who were on the sidelines, and the other generals and advisors from Yuan Shao's camp couldn't help but feel chills.

Judging from the reasons for the outbreak of this conflict, Yuan Shao's actions did hurt many generals and advisors.

Zhao Long was the biggest contributor to helping Yuan Shao win the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Youzhou, but he was pointed at by his master's sword. Then one day, when Yuan Shao ascends to a higher position, how will he deal with other heroes?

Even Xu You couldn't help but be astonished, he didn't know what to do.

Yuan Shao took back the sword, and he couldn't help regretting his actions.

The people who stayed at the banquet didn't want to swallow, so the banquet ended in a hurry.

Sun Bin, who had been observing the conflict, his eyes flickered, thoughtful.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

Tian Qi found that Sun Bin's expression was a little unusual, as if he had discovered something.

Sun Bin nodded and shook his head: "It's probably my illusion."

At night in Yecheng, another big event happened.

During the night, an assassin attacked the house where Zhao Long was staying. Shi Wansui and Han Zhanhu killed several assassins in a row, but Zhao Long was stabbed!

Terrified, Zhao Long led people to set fire to the west gate of Yecheng, and hurriedly fled back to Handan, the state of Zhao, which he ran.

This incident caused an uproar in Yecheng.

After Yuan Shao and Zhao Long had a dispute, Zhao Long was assassinated that night, almost killed!

The assassins killed on the spot were soldiers in Yuan Shao's army, and there was another general, Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan!

At this time, all the advisors and generals of Yuan Shao's camp were restless.

All the signs pointed to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao sent someone to attack Zhao Long and stabbed Zhao Long, Zhao Long panicked and fled Yecheng overnight.

Because of this, Liu Bei and Tian Qi were deeply disturbed and suspected that Yuan Shao intended to eradicate the princes who depended on him, so they also left without saying goodbye and returned to the Bohai Sea and the Plain.

Yuan Shao's reputation was shattered.

"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks; the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden..."

"The enemy's country is broken, and the counselor is dead. Yuan Hao, did we see the wrong person?"

"I thought that Yuan Benchu's fourth and third princes, but he would pay his revenge and kill the hero. Although Zhao Longgong was the master of high shock... but if he was killed that night, the end would be too bleak."

"Maybe Yuan Benchu ​​is just a false name."

"What shall we do?"

Tian Feng and Ju Shou exchanged drinks.

When such a thing happened in Jizhou, they had no time to think about how to attack Yanzhou.

Not only Tian Feng and Ju Shou lost their confidence, even Xu You, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Zhang He, Zhu Ling and others were shaken, and even more deadly was the loyalty of Hulu Mingyue and Lanling Wang to Yuan Shao's generals. degree is decreasing.

In Handan City, Zhao Long fled back to the territory he controlled, and a doctor immediately healed him.

The soldiers in Handan heard that Yuan Shao pointed his sword at Zhao Long at the banquet, and sent assassins to assassinate Zhao Long.

Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the lord's mansion. They were not dissatisfied with Zhao Long, but Yuan Shao and asked Zhao Long to replace Yuan Shao!

This is the same as the Mutiny of Chen Qiao and the addition of Huangpao!

"Let me go in and persuade the lord."

Yang Su, the first commander-in-chief and first counselor under Zhao Long, came to visit him, and all the soldiers in Handan made way for Yang Su.

"The lord is willing to be injured for the great cause, and the last will admire it."

Yang Su has an appreciation for Zhao Long.

"This sword almost cost me my life. It is worthy of being one of the four major assassins in the Warring States Period. Now, there is already a name to attack Yuan Shao."

Zhao Long's terrified eyes disappeared, replaced by sharp eyes.

Yang Su said: "Yuan Shao's further explanation of what people want, will be of no use. Liu Bei and Tian Qi leave without saying goodbye, which makes the people in Jizhou dissociate from Yuan Shao, and the time is ripe. As long as the lord raises the righteous soldiers and defeats the unruly, it will not take more than a month. Jizhou can change hands."

"I can't take it lightly. Liu Bei and Tian Qi have no excuse to intervene in the dispute between me and Yuan Shao. Before they find an excuse, we must break down the strong city of Ye as soon as possible. There is also Huma in Bingzhou. He can send troops quickly, and must Before he can react... Fortunately, I have already made arrangements. Although Huma has Li Mu and Lian Po, he lacks resourcefulness and is not a cause for concern."

"After replacing Yuan Shao, what should we do with him?"

"House arrest is enough to show my tolerance."

"My lord is brilliant."

"I also need you to go south to fight for the Central Plains for me. If it is not for Yuan Shao to replace Yuan Shao as soon as possible when Chu Zimou can't intervene in Hebei, or I will go south to attack Yanzhou. This time, Chu Zimou will be cheaper."

The next day, surrounded by soldiers from Handan, the wounded Zhao Long announced Yuan Shao's crime, accusing Yuan Shao of attacking the Luoyang Imperial Palace, forcing back Jizhou Mu Han Fu with unknown cause of death, and assassinating a hero.

The 50,000-strong army quickly marched towards Yecheng, and the whole way was like a broken bamboo!

Zhao Long stood on the moral high ground, and Yuan Shao, who was arrogant, seemed helpless. The army he sent met Zhao Long's righteous division, and they surrendered without a fight. The day he was killed by the shock, he directly voted for Zhao Long.

Zhao Long's army rapidly expanded from 50,000 to 100,000 or 150,000, and the troops were approaching Yecheng!

Liu Bei heard that Zhao Long had raised troops to replace Yuan Shao. This was his chance, but Liu Bei could not intervene.

Zhao Long is now the righteous side in the eyes of everyone in Jizhou. If Liu Bei supports Yuan Shao, his reputation will plummet. Supporting Zhao Long is just the icing on the cake, and the benefits to Liu Bei are limited.

When Chen Xi heard this, he could only sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to make such a foolish move."

He knew the consequences of the assassination of a prestigious celebrity.

In history, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, causing Chen Gong and a group of Yanzhou aristocratic families to betray and almost homeless.

And now Zhao Long is a celebrity in Jizhou because he has been operating in Jizhou for several years, and has made friends with Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, etc., and has countless military achievements.

Yuan Shao just drew his sword at the banquet, but he actually sent someone to assassinate Zhao Long, and the commander was his nephew Gao Gan.

Yuan Shao could no longer defend himself.

"Master, Zhao Long wants to replace Yuan Shao, what should we do?"

Liu Bei hesitated.

Help Yuan Shao, fall into injustice, help Zhao Long, and become Zhao Long's vassal. Destroying Zhao Long and Yuan Shao at the same time will not only be inhumane and injustice, but also may not be able to defeat Zhao Long who has already annexed many Yuan Shao's followers.

It can be said that the situation is too favorable for Zhao Long. Benevolence and righteousness became the biggest obstacle to Liu Bei's choice.

"Disaster……"

Chen Xi also had no choice.

Now that Liu Bei is gone, he can't recruit Yuan Shao's followers.

Under Yuan Shao in Jizhou, the most influential person is Zhao Long. Zhao Long has been active in Yuan Shao's forces for several years, while Liu Bei is just a vassal who only joined Yuan Shao not long ago. The interpersonal relationship has not been established, and not many people are convinced.

In the Pingyuan, Sun Bin, the goddess, learned that Zhao Long was uprising against Yuan Shao, and he couldn't help shaking his head when he thought that the illusion of that day had come true.

Even if it were possible, he could not produce evidence.

Moreover, Sun Bin also knew that if Tian Qi came off, it would be thankless.

The only people who have the ability to intervene in the Jizhou dispute are Huma in Bingzhou and Chutian in Yanzhou.

"Move your troops and horses immediately to avenge Youzhou!"

When Huma learned that Zhao Long had sent all the troops from Handan to attack Yuan Shao, he had a premonition that the time to annex Jizhou was coming.

Judging by the firmness of Ye City, Huma judged that Zhao Long did not have a few months to capture it.

Generals Li Mu, Lian Po, Zhou Dewei, and Zhao Kuo gathered 200,000 troops and marched toward Jizhou!
