Xun Yu smiled.

After Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were taken to eat by Baoer, only Xun Yu and Guo Jia were left in the room.

Looking at Guo Jia, Xun Yu discovered that although she was still the same as before, the skin on the back of her hands and face was relatively pale, the color of her lips was also very pale, and she was still so weak.

But the look in her eyes was much brighter than when Xun Yu saw her in Yingchuan.

The serious thinking just now, the unconscious smile and shining eyes when talking about the future of Changping, and the comfortable and reassured expression when talking with Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Baoer and others.

All of this proves that Guo Jia is getting better and better.

"It seems that Fengxiao likes it here very much." Xun Yu raised his sleeves and poured a cup of tea for Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also smiled when he heard this: "This is also thanks to Sister Wen Ruo's recommendation."

"Otherwise, I might never have known in my lifetime that in this barren northern frontier, there could be achievements that would be recorded in history for thousands of years."

"It's mainly about 'people'." Xun Yu said.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Yes, people are the most important thing."

"How is Fengxiao's health these days? Is it still getting worse?"

"It's strange to say, since I came to Changping, my disease has improved a lot. It's not that it's healing, but it's no longer as painful as before." Guo Jia said after thinking for a moment.

"In the past, whenever the star of Mars was at its brightest, I would feel so heartbroken that I would roll off the bed and onto the ground, and I would lose a lot of my God-given power..."

Guo Jia placed his hand on his chest, lowered his head and murmured, "But... now there will only be a slight pain, and no more strength will be lost."

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "This is a good thing."

"Is it related to the lord?" After asking, Guo Jia found that this sentence seemed to be nonsense.

If it had nothing to do with Liu Zhaoqing, how could she feel relieved out of thin air?

"Sister Wenruo, are you planning to stay here forever? You won't leave again, right?" Guo Jia talked about Xun Yu.

Before Xun Yu could answer, Liu Zhaoqing walked in from outside.

"Hmm? Feng Xiaowenruo, are you guys going to rest here?"

"My lord, has the letter been written?" Guo Jia asked.

Liu Zhaoqing walked up to them, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and nodded.

"I have already sent it out, but I don't know if Yuan Shao will read it."

"I think so. The lord is no longer the same lord as before." Guo Jia said.

Liu Zhaoqing did not comment. He still remembered the look in Yuan Shao's eyes when he ignored him at first sight in the Luoyang dungeon.

But it doesn’t matter, he didn’t join the anti-Dong movement for Yuan Shao.

Since the letter has been sent, Liu Zhaoqing only needs to wait for the other princes to respond to Yuan Shao.

"However, Dong Zhuo should send out spirit beasts to intercept the falcons, especially those heading to Bohai Sea." Guo Jia frowned and said, "The lord's letter may be intercepted."

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "I took this into consideration when I wrote the letter, so I didn't send it directly to Bohai."

"Where was it sent? To the plain?"

"I think Yuan Shao would look down on Sister Xuande even more." Liu Zhaoqing shook her head and then said a name.

"Cao Cao."

He gave the letter to Cao Cao and asked him to pass it on to his good friend Yuan Shao. That way there would be no problem. And with Cao Cao delivering the letter, Yuan Shao would not ignore Liu Zhaoqing no matter what.

Jizhou, Weijun.

In the magnificent and grand living room of the governor's mansion, Han Fu sat on a high seat above two rows of civil and military officials.

This should be a position that countless people dream of, but Han Fu has been feeling uneasy these days.

Before, there were unusual changes in Hebei, which were signs of the emergence of the emperor. Now Dong Zhuo has deposed the emperor, Cao Cao has assassinated Dong, and Yuan Shao has rebelled against Dong.

Han Fu missed the past year ago. At that time, he could get whatever he wanted in Jizhou, and the world was not so chaotic.

The late emperor was enjoying himself in Luoyang, the Ten Eunuchs were fighting for power with He Jin, and the government was in chaos, but what did this have to do with him?

As a provincial governor, the imperial court had neither the energy nor the power to manage him, and he could even get the best of both worlds between the general and the Ten Attendants.

He is simply an "emperor" without the "imperial title".

But now?

"Why don't you say anything?" Han Fu asked the generals and counselors below the stage with a frown, holding a manifesto in his hand.

"Weren't they all so enthusiastic before? Why are they all so speechless now?"

The counselors and officers below the stage looked at each other for a while, then lowered their heads and dared not respond.

Han Fu knew in his heart that they did not want to "take the blame". Everyone could see that Han Fu did not want to participate in the fight against Dong Zhuo, but if he did not participate in such a righteous cause, he would definitely be condemned.

Then the importance of the "scapegoat" is self-evident.

"Shen Pei, tell me."

Shen Pei stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I think we need to get involved. Dong Zhuo is extremely evil and his power is growing stronger. Jizhou and Sili are separated by only the Yellow River. If Yanzhou is taken by Dong Zhuo, Hebei will be in trouble when he unifies the Central Plains."

This was obviously not the answer Han Fu wanted. Han Fu thought about it and asked Xiang Tianfeng again.

Tian Feng was silent for a moment, then he also bowed and advised Han Fu to consider the overall situation.

"Zhang He, do you have any suggestions?" Han Fu approached the general.

Zhang He, wearing a golden phoenix mask, looked at everyone looking at him, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"My lord has been defeated by the Marquis of Changping, and has signed a contract not to invade Youzhou for ten years."

Zhang He's voice was as clear as the call of a kite. If he were not in military uniform and had great martial arts skills, many people would probably imagine a gentle young lady just by listening to his voice.

This may also be one of the reasons why Zhang He rarely speaks.

But such a beautiful voice felt like a needle piercing Han Fu's eardrum, causing him to frown in pain.

Is this also something that can be mentioned?

Even Gao Lan, who was standing next to Zhang He, looked at her with a little surprise.

"What do you mean?" Han Fu asked with a frown.

"What I mean is that your position in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Jizhou, as well as the people of Hebei Province, has been severely damaged because of that defeat."

"These days, not only have more than a dozen prefects and county magistrates resigned from their posts, but even Ju Shou has returned to his hometown."

"Ju Shou?" Han Fu got angry when he heard Ju Shou. "I'm generous enough to let her return home alive. What? Do you want to be like Ju Shou?"

After these words were spoken, Gao Lan, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others all lowered their heads slightly.

Zhang He was silent, and then continued: "It is precisely because the lord has suffered a series of defeats and the people's morale is low that we need to join the anti-Dong movement."

"The anti-Dong movement is led by Yuan Shao, and the strength of my Jizhou is at least one of the most powerful princes among them. My lord, all you have to do is to achieve results in the anti-Dong movement."

"Then the previous defeat will be forgotten, and you can even be known as a wise minister who eliminated the thieves and saved the Han Dynasty."

When Han Fu heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood Zhang He.

He clenched his right hand on the armrest of the chair, and kept stroking the end of his mustache with his left hand, his brows furrowed as a tangled knot.

Finally, he made up his mind.

"Then, join us. Tian Feng, go and write back to Yuan Shao."

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

-

Five days later, Bohai County.

In a small mansion, Yuan Shao, dressed in light armor, was sitting in front of a long desk.

Various documents and letters were placed in front of her.

At this time, a young counselor walked in quickly from outside.

"My lord! Good news, good news!"

Yuan Shao put down the letter in his hand, looked up and saw the young man coming, and immediately asked: "George, what's the good news?"

The man who came was Xin Pi (pí), a counselor under Yuan Shao, with the courtesy name Zuozhi. He was a new counselor accepted by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao valued him very much.

After hearing that Yuan Shao was rebelling against Dong Zhuo, this person came to join Yuan Shao with his brother Xin Ping, and he also did his best to help Yuan Shao prepare for the rebellion against Dong Zhuo.

"Have you found another good general?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Hahaha, my lord has already got Yan Liang and Wen Chou, are you still thinking about the others?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao also said: "Of course the more the better, but I am also very satisfied that your brother can help me find these two people."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Shao asked, "Since it is not about finding a great man, then it should be about the anti-Dong campaign, right?"

"That's right." Xin Pi nodded, and without keeping the secret, he immediately said, "Yes, another prince responded."

"Since Xuzhou Tao Qian responded the day before yesterday, news just came that Xiliang Ma Teng is also going to join the fight against Dong."

Yuan Shao was also excited when he heard this. Although Ma Teng's power was not particularly large, he was in Xiliang, which was Dong Zhuo's rear base.

If he could join, it would definitely cause considerable trouble to Dong Zhuo.

"Combined with the previous princes such as Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Beihai Prefect Kong Rong, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, etc., this anti-Dong trend will sweep the world like the wind." Xin Pi said with a smile.

Yuan Shao nodded, and then asked Xin Pi to quickly find Xu You and establish contact with Ma Teng.

After Xin Pi left, the joy on Yuan Shao's face slowly faded away.

Sitting at the desk, looking at the letters on it, she picked up one and it turned out to be from Han Fu of Jizhou.

There is no doubt that the allies Yuan Shao has summoned now occupy almost 80% of the world, but she has not received a letter from one person.

Although that person... logically shouldn't be involved.

Moreover, without that person, it seemed that there was no impact on the anti-Dong movement.

"Huh? What? Do I need to be checked before I go in there?"

"Are you afraid of assassins? Hahahaha, that's true. I do have the ability of an assassin."

Hearing the sudden sound coming from outside, Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and went out.

Then he saw Cao Cao being stopped outside the yard by soldiers.

"Aman!" Yuan Shao was happy and excited to see his old friend coming.

When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao, he also smiled and said, "Sister Benchu, why is your place getting smaller and smaller?"

Chapter 246 Chenliu Alliance

This was of course because Yuan Shao broke away from the Yuan family and raised an army in Bohai on his own, and all the money he raised was spent on recruiting and developing his power.

You don't need to be too particular about your food, clothing, housing and transportation.

However, Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao was just joking, so he glanced at her helplessly, and then quickly asked her to come in with him: "Okay, okay, come in with me, you are now a wanted criminal of the court."

After following Yuan Shao into the guest hall, Cao Cao looked around and marveled.

"Isn't this little place comparable to the firewood storage room of the Yuan family in Luoyang?"

"Just now, Sister Benchu ​​said that I was a wanted criminal by the imperial court. If you hand me over to Dong Zhuo, how much money can you get?"

Yuan Shao would never respond to her, but Cao Cao was really interested. After asking "how much money can I get" two or three times in a row, Yuan Shao finally spoke.

"Not much, just three thousand kilograms of gold and one thousand rolls of brocade."

Of course, this was not much for Yuan Shao, but for ordinary people, it was a huge sum of money that they could not earn in several lifetimes.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he noticed Cao Cao frowning in his chair and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you still not satisfied?"

"Yeah." Cao Cao nodded: "It's too low."

"I, Cao Mengde, should be worth at least ten thousand kilograms of gold."

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly, and then poured tea for Cao Cao while asking, "Why did you suddenly come to my place? And I heard in the capital that after you failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo personally sent Lu Bu to hunt you down."

"Although Lü Bu is young, he is very skilled in martial arts, and he also has the divine horse Red Hare, which can travel 2,000 miles a day and can track enemies, and its hooves can generate red flames. How did you get away from him?"
