Chapter 766: Getting the News

Yan Xiang's words made Yuan Shu's eyes light up, and he immediately asked everyone to discuss the possibility of this matter in detail. After repeated discussions, the counselors all felt that this matter could be done according to Yan Xiang's suggestion.

So Yuan Shu changed his mind again. With the suggestions of Yan Xiang, Shu Shao, and Yang Hong, Yuan Shu decided to divide his troops into two groups.

The army was led by General Ji Ling, and the two lieutenants were Chen Lan and Lei Bo. The three of them led 50,000 troops and sent troops directly to Xia Pi. After capturing Xia Pi, they then turned east and captured Guangling County. After Ji Ling's army captured the two counties, they stationed themselves on the spot to assist officials in controlling the two counties.

The other army was led by Lejiu, with Li Feng and Liang Gang as deputy generals. They also led 50,000 troops and crossed the Huai River directly to attack Runan. However, this army was launched after Ji Ling's army invaded Xiapi State. Send troops again.

In this way, it can better attract Kong Ni's attention. The remaining generals stayed in Luzhou County and Jiujiang County.

Following Yuan Shu's order, everyone in the Hou General's Mansion began preparations for war.

If Cao Cao knew Yuan Shu's thoughts, he would definitely jump in and curse him. He had worked so hard and racked his brains, only to be used by others again. Perhaps, this is called me counting people, and people counting me.

Compared with the success of the other three envoys, Chen Qun's envoy to Chang'an was probably the most tortuous one.

After arriving in Chang'an, although Li Jue and Guo Si had met Chen Qun many times, they both kept silent about sending troops to attack Hongnong.

In the end, Chen Qun bribed Guo Si's favored witch, and finally persuaded Guo Si to send troops to Hongnong, but the prerequisite was that Cao Cao's army must fight first, and then Chang'an troops would send troops to Hangu Pass.

In order to send troops this time, Guo Bang roped in Li Jue and Hu Zhen. Of course, they are here to pick up the bargains. They will only send troops when others have mobilized their troops and most of Sizhou's soldiers and horses have been attracted away. Hongnong and Luoyang have fewer soldiers and horses.

However, it was precisely because of Chen Qun's massive activities in Chang'an that he finally attracted Shadow's attention. A few days later, Sun Ping finally got the news from the generals of Guo and Li through the shadow that Cao Cao would join forces with several princes to send troops to attack Sizhou.

After Sun Ping got the news, he sent people to continue to inquire about the details while urgently sending the news back to Luoyang.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo was still secretly rejoicing that there was finally no war in the first half of this year, and the first season's grain had been harvested and put into storage. With the support of millions of stones of grain left last year, and the storage of grain in the first quarter of this year, the empty official warehouse in Luoyang was finally filled with a lot of food.

I originally thought that I would need to cultivate the fields for another year or two, but I didn't expect that news suddenly came from Luo Chang'an that Cao Cao had persuaded the princes to jointly attack Sizhou. Huangfu Chaobo's heart suddenly became heavy.

I thought that I had risen from the war between the princes against Dong. Dong Zhuo's strength at that time was not able to withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops from the princes. Now, can I really do it with my own strength?

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo fell silent. With Cao Cao's temperament and the experience of the last Xuzhou war, if they really prepare to jointly send troops, it will definitely not only be Chang'an's troops. At least Yuan Shao from Jizhou will definitely send troops, and then it is estimated that Yangzhou Yuan Shu will definitely not miss the opportunity to attack Yuzhou, and there is Lu Bu in Bingzhou. If Lu Bu also sends troops, he will really be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

It seems that another life and death test of his has appeared. This time, it is far more dangerous than when Yuan Shu's several princes attacked Luoyang.

Standing in front of the map and looking at the map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the wall, Sizhou was originally the place of the Four Wars, but now, the two allies of Jizhou and Yuzhou are definitely unreliable. Fortunately, Yuzhou has greater depth. If Kong You can save Yingchuan and Chen Guo, it will be great, but Runan will definitely not be able to save it.

As for Jizhou, it is estimated that Han Fu's territory cannot be saved. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo took a deep breath, then stood up and shouted loudly: "Come, gather everyone to discuss the matter, except Huang Xu from Youzhou." In addition to everyone else, I sent an order to the prefects of each county and the commanders and generals of each camp to come to Luoyang to discuss the matter.

Everyone must arrive within five days. "

"General, take the order!" Dian Wei took the order and immediately sent someone to deliver the order.

"Shi A, ordered Shadow to collect intelligence from the surrounding princes. Within five days, this general must know the situation of the main generals and armies under the princes of Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yongzhou!" Seeing Dian Wei turn around and leave, Huangfu Chaobo He also ordered Shi A;

After both of them left, Huangfu Chaobo asked people to invite Pang Tong and Xu Shu. Then, he stood in front of the big man's map and once again fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Pang and Xu came together and saw Huangfu Chaobo meditating in front of the map. The two unaware people stepped forward and said with a smile: "My lord, who are you planning to fight again?"

Huangfu Chaobo turned around and said solemnly: "It's not that I want to go to war with anyone, but that someone wants to destroy our Sizhou."

With that said, Huangfu Chaobo returned to his seat, picked up the news from Chang'an from the desk, and said, "Shi Yuan, Yuan Zhi, you can read it for yourselves."

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo's expression, the two of them also realized the seriousness of the matter. They took the information solemnly and read it carefully. After a while, Pang Tong walked to the map and asked: "Lord, is the information reliable? ?”

"Nine out of ten, Shi A has received news about the mobilization of the armies of the surrounding princes in the past few days. At first, I didn't care about it. Now, in connection with the news from Chang'an, it seems that nine out of ten are true. Moreover, I estimate that the princes who sent troops this time should include all the princes around us, that is to say, we are already surrounded by enemies."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Chaobo handed over all the news about the unusual movements of the troops of the surrounding princes sorted out by Shi A in recent days to several people, and then told the two about his own arrangements, saying: "It will take a few days for others to rush to Luoyang. During these few days, let's sort out these first and analyze the ideas of the various princes."

After listening, the two nodded, and each picked up a few pieces of intelligence and looked at them carefully.

At night, when Jia Jing sent someone to the front yard to invite Huangfu Chaobo, the three found that it was already late. Huangfu Chaobo did not return to the backyard, but asked someone to prepare the meal and send it to the conference room. The three of them, together with Dian Wei and Shi A, ate and talked in the conference room.

Late at night, Shi A came in with a large amount of information sent back by carrier pigeons. This was the information sorted out from various places in one day after receiving the order from Luoyang today. At this time, Huangfu Chaobo realized that the Shadow Guard that he had tightened his belt and insisted on laying down finally realized his power.
