Chapter 275
Cao Cao was at a loss with the Yuan brothers. In this battle between the three, it would be difficult for him to tell the winner if it hadn't been three or five years.

Each of the forces has its own calculations.Li Chen had previously reached an agreement with Cao Cao to exchange grain for iron ore.Recently, Li Mu has opened many mining areas on Cao Cao's territory. These places are clearly called mining areas, but from another perspective, they are not only mining areas, but also military bases.

Of course, Cao Cao is not a fool, he is a hero, so naturally Li Mu cannot be allowed to station too many troops in the mining area.These troops stationed in the mining area are only enough to protect the mining area from the nearby bandits and refugees.

Dahan, Beihai County, Shu Palace.

There is no war these days, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are suffocated. These two people are itchy all over their bodies without fighting, like ants crawling on their bodies.

Now, it has been a month since Shan Fu last promised to Liu Bei to take down Cao Cao's county within two months.Now there is only one month left after fighting and calculating. You must know that this war is not a child's play.

The soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are mobilized. Once there is a battle to raise food and grass, it will take time to mobilize the soldiers and horses.Not to mention how long it would take to conquer a county.

These days, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others are asking for battle every day, but they are all perfunctory by Liu Bei's words of waiting for a few days, waiting for a few days.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei are in a hurry, and Liu Bei is also in a hurry.Of the four families in their alliance, all three of them have already fought with Cao Cao.Now he is the only one who has not moved Liu Bei. In the past few days, their leader Yuan Shao has also sent letters all day long urging Liu Bei to send troops.

Liu Bei was also anxious in his heart, and he often went to look for Shan Fu.But every time when it comes to sending troops, he always finds reasons to change the subject.

Now, Yuan Shao has taken the territory of seven or eight counties in half of Cao Cao's counties, and the news of his troops approaching Tongguan has reached Liu Bei.The two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't hold back anymore. Damn it, now Cao Cao's territory has been swallowed up by others for two or three tenths.If they were waiting, they wouldn't even be able to drink soup, let alone meat.

After Zhang Fei heard the news that Yuan Shaobing was approaching Tongguan, he immediately went to Guan Yu's residence.Zhang Fei knew that he was a rough person and not a person who could speak well, so he planned to find his second brother Guan Yu first, and then go to persuade their eldest brother Liu Bei together.

When Zhang Fei came to Guan Yu's residence, Guan Yu was reading a book.Although Guan Yu was born in a bad background, but now that the conditions are good, he likes reading books very much. Apart from practicing martial arts, he usually reads military books.Of course, Guan Yu is especially fond of reading Chunqiu.

"The third brother is here?"

Guan Yu looked up at Zhang Fei, asked a question, and then continued to look down at the book.

Zhang Fei walked up to Guan Yu, snatched the book from Guan Yu's hand, and said to Guan Yu, "Second brother, what time is it, you still have time to read here."

"Third brother, what's the matter, so impatient?" Guan Yudan asked with raised phoenix eyes.

"Second brother, let me ask you, do you know that Yuan Shaobing has been closed in Lintong?" Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu and asked.

Guan Yu thought to himself, I am not the only one who knows about this, now the whole world may know about it.

"Well, I know about it." Guan Yu nodded very calmly.

"Second brother, do you know about feelings?"

"I don't know what do you think, second brother?" Zhang Fei continued to ask.

Guan Yu thought to himself, what do I think, I am sitting and watching now?

"Third brother, what does it matter to us that Yuan Shao's army entered Tongguan?" Guan Yu asked.

What Guan Yu said made sense, Yuan Shaobing entered Tongguan, and it had nothing to do with them at that time.If someone has laid down such a large territory, they can just look at it with greed.

"My second brother, think about it. It's only been a few months since we sent troops, and Cao Cao has lost two or three tenths of his territory. If we don't send troops, let alone eat meat, we won't even be able to drink soup .”

"Breaking the sky, we will be able to leave some leftovers for us at that time. Second brother, we are divided into four families. At that time, people will eat meat, so let's pick up some leftover bones from others."

"My second brother, are you still in a hurry now?" Zhang Fei asked fiercely.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei and said to himself, this is what you are talking about about feelings.In a hurry, I am also in a hurry.After hearing the news that Yuan Shaobing was approaching Tongguan, Guan Yu also went to invite Liu Bei to send troops, but after being rejected by Liu Bei, Guan Yu didn't say much.

Although Guan Yu is a bit arrogant, he is much more stable than Zhang Fei.In Guan Yu's view, although they and Liu Bei are brothers, they are also Liu Bei's courtiers.Although the courtier said he had the right to advise, he could not repeat it again and again.

As the master, Liu Bei has the ability to distinguish right from wrong.As Liu Bei's brothers, they are also Liu Bei's courtiers, if both of them repeatedly persuade.This kind of means forcing Liu Bei to send troops, but it will only embarrass Liu Bei.

"Third Brother, since Eldest Brother doesn't want to send troops at this time, he must have his own ideas. Let's wait quietly for Eldest Brother's military order. This kind of matter is not something you can solve in a hurry." Guan Yu persuaded Zhang Fei said.

"Brother, what do you think? From my point of view, the elder brother has been given ecstasy soup by Old Daoist Shan." Zhang Fei said angrily.

"Third brother, the military advisor is a capable person, you must not be so rude to the military advisor." Guan Yu scolded.

Guan Yu admires scholars very much. Since Dan Fu came to Liu Bei's command, he has managed the people's livelihood and prepared military affairs in an orderly manner.Because of this, in Guan Yu's view, Shan Fu is a person with real ability.

Guan Yu was convinced by Shan Fu, but Zhang Fei was not.Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, what is this old man capable of? According to me, he has the ability to brag about himself."

"Second brother, Shan Laodao said a month ago that he would acquire a county within two months. Now that a month has passed, we haven't even moved our nest."

"Second brother, let me ask you how long it will take to raise the army rations and how long it will take to mobilize the army. There is only one month left. Even if the Da Luo Jinxian goes down to earth, he will not be able to win a county in a month. You say, this single old man Not bragging, what is it?"

When Zhang Fei said this, Guan Yu really had nothing to say for a while.Because judging from the current situation, it is really impossible to conquer a county within a month.Because now the surrounding territory of Cao Cao has basically been taken over by Ma Teng, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and the rest of the area is basically a tough nut to crack.

Now the three companies that entered the field early are already deadlocked there, let alone the ones that entered the field late.Wanting to take the land of a county within a month is nothing but a dream.
