Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 605: Attack Liao
Yecheng.

When he saw the spring scenery, Yuan Shao's dull face seemed to be moisturized and gradually recovered his vitality.

It was also because Yuan Shao had been thinking about Yubi and Guandu all the time recently, and he was depressed and confused, so he looked a little dejected. But at that moment, he was admiring the spring scenery, and his heart was touched by it, so his complexion gradually brightened up and returned to his former color.

At this time, Yuan Shao heard the sound of footsteps and the clapping of a cane behind him. He did not need to look back, but smiled and said, "My dear, you have come at the right time. The garden is now full of spring colors. Such a magnificent view is worth appreciating!"

Tian Feng nodded and said, "The spring scenery is beautiful, indeed it is very beautiful."

After the master and his subject appreciated the spring scenery for a while, Yuan Shao started talking: "My dear, you are here for something important."

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "It's nothing important. Cao Mengde sent Dong Zhao here. Why didn't you just send Ju Su to send Dong Zhao back?"

"Dong Zhao is a traitor, and Cao Mengde is my great enemy. It would have been fine if I had not killed Dong Zhao, but how could I summon such a fool as Dong Zhao?" Yuan Shao spoke in a bad tone, his eyes half narrowed, revealing a murderous intent.

Tian Feng shook his head again: "Mingsir, Dong Zhao came here to make peace with us...Now Guanzhong is powerful, Liu Jiyu's prestige is far-reaching, and the biggest enemy of Hebei is not Cao Mengde, but Liu Jiyu."

"That's right. Dong Zhao has the intention of being friendly and neighborly. We should accept it and ensure the peace south of the Yellow River. We should focus on Hedong and Guanzhong first, wait until Liu Jiyu is eliminated, and then turn to Yanyu."

Yuan Shao was not impressed by Tian Feng's sincere advice. He retorted to Tian Feng: "I control Hebei, with great power and a strong army. Although I was careless and suffered a small setback, I am not comparable to Liu Jiyu. There is no need to make peace with Cao Mengde."

Yuan Shao was very confident, but in Tian Feng's eyes, this kind of confidence was arrogance. Also, Yuan Shao, who was defeated at Guandu, was still brooding over the incident and was unwilling to have any dealings with Cao Cao at this time. He ignored the overall situation due to his sense of shame.

But the situation has changed. Since Liu Zhang seized Taiyuan County and Henan Yin last year, he has become as strong as Qin. The title of the world's number one prince on Yuan Shao's head is no longer stable and may be taken away by Liu Zhang at any time.

Under such circumstances, Tian Feng thought to himself that it would be the right choice to make peace with Cao Cao, get rid of Liu Zhang, and then deal with Cao Cao. Otherwise, the conflict between Yuan and Cao would be like the fight between the six kingdoms, and they would all be destroyed by the powerful Qin.

"You are the strongest in the world." Tian Feng first responded to Yuan Shao, and then changed his tone and said, "But now Liu Jiyu has become a powerful Qin. If you continue to fight with Cao Cao and Liu Jiyu takes advantage of you, I am afraid that the old story of the six kingdoms will repeat itself and all of them will be annexed by Liu Jiyu."

"Don't worry, my dear." Yuan Shao comforted Tian Feng and said, "Every failure makes you wiser. Last year, Liu Jiyu took advantage of me. No matter what happens next, I will never make the same mistake again. How can I let a child succeed again and again?"

Speaking of the fisherman's profit, Yuan Shao was indignant and his tone was also angry. All the hard work he did last year made things easier for Liu Jiyu. He was first defeated in Guandu, and then lost important places such as Taiyuan and Daijun. He was deeply ashamed and gnashed his teeth from time to time.

"As for what the deputy driver said about making peace with Cao Mengde to stabilize the south." Yuan Shao threw out his thoughts: "Now that Liu Jiyu has obtained the title of governor of Henan, Xudu is only a few hundred miles away from the Qin army's front."

“…Ha…” Yuan Shao sneered: “Even if Cao Mengde defeated me at Guandu, what would happen? Compared to me now, Cao Mengde is probably very worried, not eating well or sleeping well, worried that the Qin army will attack Xudu.”

"Yes... Look, A'man, who won the last battle at Guandu, has sent an envoy to beg me, hoping to make peace with me."

Tian Feng was silent. He knew that Yuan Shao was ashamed of the defeat at Guandu, but he did not expect that Yuan Shao would be so concerned about the defeat that he would say such unbecoming words. Tian Feng believed that Cao Cao was pragmatic and did not care about love or hate. However, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Cao Cao was afraid of the Qin army, so he sent envoys to seek peace.

"So." Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little happy when he said this. He said loudly, "If Cao Mengde doesn't hand over the traitor Xu You, don't even think about making peace with me. When the time comes, he will have to face the troops of Guanzhong on one hand and my army of Hebei on the other. Let's see how he moves..."

It seems that today's explanation is not going to make sense. Tian Feng sighed in his heart. Even if this explanation is not going to make sense, he plans to talk about another thing: "I heard that you intend to send Liu Xuande to conquer Liaodong. I wonder if this is true?"

"I do have this intention, and I will take some measures." Yuan Shao responded generously: "This matter is Shen Pei's suggestion. Liaodong Governor Gongsun Du is loyal on the outside but a traitor on the inside. Keeping Gongsun Du in Liaodong will cause trouble in the future. We should get rid of him as soon as possible."

"It's just that it's not appropriate to send all the people there, and we're short of money and food... Although Liu Xuande's troops are few, they are very elite. Liu Xuande is originally from Zhuo County and knows something about Liaodong. It's most appropriate to send Liu Xuande to conquer Liaodong."

"Shen Pei." Tian Feng silently said the name of the person who made the suggestion, and immediately knew the reason. Shen Pei was not on good terms with the eldest son Yuan Tan, but was friends with the youngest son Yuan Shang. Liu Bei had once recommended Yuan Tan as a talented person, so he naturally stood on Yuan Tan's side.

Therefore, Shen Pei's suggestion was probably intended to remove one of Yuan Tan's right-hand men. After all, this matter was related to the dispute over the succession.

Tian Feng sighed heavily in his heart, Liu Jiyu was becoming increasingly powerful, Cao Mengde was also difficult to settle, and now there were internal disputes in Hebei, Yuan Benchu ​​was also getting older, his appearance was declining, and his energy was declining.

The situation that Hebei will face in the future is likely to be very difficult!!!
……

Zhuojun.

A team came here with the surname Liu under their flag.

Liu Bei came to his hometown with only Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and a few other riders. From afar, he saw a mulberry tree that was more than five meters tall and towering like a canopy.

"I will ride in this carriage with feathered canopy." The heroic words he said in his childhood came to Liu Bei's mind. The moment he saw the mulberry tree, he was deeply moved. The tree was still green, but he was old.

"Brother, Liaodong is remote and may be difficult to conquer. Why do you want to take on this mission?" Zhang Fei was puzzled. He didn't understand why Liu Bei approached Yuan Tan and asked Yuan Tan to intercede and relieve him of the task of conquering Liao.

Liu Bei just smiled calmly. After a moment, he responded to Zhang Fei: "Although Liaodong is remote, with the help of two people, it will not be difficult to conquer it."

"Who are these two people?" Zhang Fei asked, but Liu Bei just didn't answer.

But a few days later, the army marched to Yuyang County, and Zhang Fei met the two people Liu Bei mentioned.

One is Tian Yu and the other is Qian Zhao.
