The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao accepted Xun You's suggestion and immediately wrote to Liu Biao to explain to him the general trend of the world and the pros and cons at this stage.

The messenger came to Xiangyang.

After Liu Biao read the letter, he summoned Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others.

Liu Biao circulated Cao Cao's letter to Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.

After reading it, Cai Mao and others couldn't help but frown.

Cai Mao said:"My lord, as Cao Mengde said, if Yuan Jiujiu takes Yanzhou again, Jingzhou will be in danger."

Kuai Liang stroked his beard and said:"My lord, if he attacks Yuan Jiujiu when Yuan Jiujiu sends troops, the two families will become enemies. , Jingzhou was also caught in the flames of war."

Liu Biao did understand Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu was so narrow-minded that Yuan Shao couldn't tolerate it, let alone others.

If Yuan Shu is offended, Yuan Shu will definitely not give up in the future.

However, Liu Biao is not a mediocre person. The general trend of the world is that you hit me and I hit you. How difficult is it to calmly protect yourself?

At first, Jingzhou was full of turmoil, until Liu Biao, as the shepherd of Jingzhou, recruited people to surrender, adding carrots and sticks to make the thieves in the territory powerful and effective.

From then on, Jingzhou was cleared from thousands of miles away, and the people were convinced.

At the same time, there were thousands of scholars from Guanxi, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou who came to Jingzhou. Liu Biao was able to appease and provide relief to them. The scholars were funded and protected.

Liu Biao has the capital to dominate one side. Of course, this is also the reason why Cao Cao covets Jingzhou.

However, Cao Cao obviously underestimated Liu Biao.

Liu Biao then wrote to Cao Cao, explaining that Jingzhou had few soldiers and was unable to fight against Yuan Shu, and needed Cao Cao's help.

To put it simply, in this battle, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu.

As for the quarrel between the Yuan and Liu families, that was a matter of time.

However, Liu Biao at least had to drag Cao Cao into the water.

After all, Cao Cao relied on Liu Biao's support for all his money and food, so he should have contributed something.

……

After Cao Cao received Liu Biao's reply, he laughed and said:"Liu Jingsheng, that's all."

Historically, Liu Biao did not do much after acquiring Jingzhou, and always focused on self-preservation.

Of course, he still had the determination to expand his territory. Liu Biao once attacked Jiaozhou and bullied Zhang Jin, the herdsman of Jiaozhou.

At this time, Cao Cao saw Liu Biao's reaction and thought that Liu Biao was cowardly.

But it doesn't matter.

Regardless of whether Liu Biao personally sends troops, Cao Cao will fight.

Only if it hurts Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will take revenge.

As for whether Yuan Shu will retaliate against Cao Cao,

Cao Cao believes that Xun You, Xun Yu and others have already taken measures to deal with it, so there is no need for him to worry.

……

The end of February, 198 AD.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to the outside of Ji County.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was leading his army to hoard in Jixian County.

Hearing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were coming, Gongsun Zan finally smiled.

Later, Gongsun Zan ordered the city to be opened and welcomed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Gongsun Zan, they immediately dismounted and saluted.

Gongsun Zan said:"Yun Chang, Yide, there is no need to be more polite."

Then Gongsun Zan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the government office.

In the court, wine and meat have been prepared.

Guan Yu then handed Liu Bei's autographed letter to Gongsun Zan.

After reading it, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but sigh.

Gongsun Zan said:"Xuande is a loyal man, how could I not know?"

Liu Bei apologized to Gongsun Zan in his letter.

After all, Liu Bei once left without saying goodbye and went to Liu Yu's camp to fight against Zhou Cheng's invasion.

It was also because of that time that the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan became estranged.

However, a horse's power can be seen from afar, and people's hearts can be seen over time.

This time, Liu Bei led 30,000 troops and horses north to rescue Gongsun Zan.

Let Gongsun Zan's past dissatisfaction with Liu Bei be wiped away.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the most powerful generals in the world.

At this time, two people came to help, and Gongsun Zan also gained the confidence to face Zhang Liao and others head-on.

When Gongsun Zan's counselor introduced the current battle situation in Youzhou.

Guan Yu then stood up and said:"Ming Gong, we can defeat Zhou's army and avoid being divided and destroyed by Zhou's thieves."

Zhou's thinking of dividing his troops was like a tiger or a wolf at every step.

Gongsun Zan's army was defeated in consecutive battles.

Now they have retreated to the city and defended the city.

Although there may not be any danger in a short period of time, if time passes, they will be separated by Zhou Cheng.

Guan Yu liked to read the Spring and Autumn Period and studied the art of war. After analyzing the situation in Youzhou, he realized that the situation was not good.

Gongsun Zan said:"I also know this, but the Zhou thieves are all good warriors, so it may be difficult to defeat them in a field battle."

It is not that Gongsun Zan has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige.

In fact, Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun's three route armies were too good at fighting.

Not to mention Zhang Liao, who was advancing step by step, putting great pressure on Gongsun Zan.

Guan Yu heard this and said,"I am willing to lead an army and go out of the city to meet General Tian."

Tian Kai took Yuan Jun and grain and grass, and was now trapped in Fan Yang by Zhao Yun.

If Tian Kai can be rescued and Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai can reunite, then they can hold on with peace of mind.

Zhou Cheng mobilized troops from Jizhou to attack Gongsun Zan.

The task of stationing troops is not only to fight, but also to cultivate.

If the war could be dragged on for a year, the impact on Zhou Cheng would definitely be considerable.
