Chapter 44
Xudu, Cao Mansion.

In the main hall, Cao Cao occupied the chief position.

Below, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and other counselors were sitting scattered.

Seeing the news of the great changes in Xuzhou, Cao Cao was shocked and did not speak for a long time.

"Liu Bei has experienced hundreds of battles and is a hero of the world. He is surrounded by Guan Yu, a man with ten thousand enemies, and Zhang Fei helps him. Unexpectedly, he is completely defeated!"

"Defeat at the hands of an unknown little person."

"True time and destiny!!"

Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others all changed their expressions.

"Liu Bei had just captured Xuzhou, gathered the remnants of Lu Bu's army, and was at the peak of his strength. How could he be completely defeated?"

"Could it be that Yuan Shu from Huainan went north to use his troops?"

Cao Cao slowly shook his head: "Liu Bei was not defeated by Yuan Shu."

"He was defeated at the hands of Lin Fan!"

"Lin Fan?"

The four people present pondered for a long time and looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.

"This subordinate is so ignorant that he has never heard of Lin Fan."

Cao Cao said: "I haven't heard of it either."

"This man is a remnant of the Yellow Turbans. He led [-] men to the south and surrendered to Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, on Liu Bei's wedding day, he kidnapped Liu Bei's newlywed wife, Miss Mi. He entered Pengcheng and defeated Lu Bu. He defeated Liu Bei and Lu Bu's [-] elite soldiers. This is like a myth. Such a rise is unbelievable.”

"Several counties in Xuzhou are now under his control."

Cao Cao told the news in detail.

After hearing this, the four people present were all shocked and found it incredible.

But for this news to reach Cao Cao, it must have gone through several verifications. How could it be wrong?

After a brief silence, Xi Zhicai sighed: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, and Lin Fan is extremely lucky."

"If Lu Bu hadn't coveted Xuzhou and took advantage of the situation, Liu Bei would never have given up on Pengcheng."

"Otherwise, with the two thousand minions in Lin Fan's hands, how could he have the power to destroy the city?"

Xun Yu and Xun You both nodded: "Although your words are good, luck is also a kind of strength."

"But Lin Fan's sudden rise is also an opportunity for us."

"Chance?"

Xun Yu said: "Originally, as long as Liu Bei married Miss Mi, he could get the help of the Mi family and secure Xuzhou. At that time, he wanted to conquer Xuzhou. Firstly, he had no legitimate reason to attack Xuzhou. Secondly, Xuzhou was united and its destruction would not be easy. "

"But now all the problems are solved."

"Lin Fan is a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, and everyone should kill him. Duke Cao has just welcomed the emperor and moved to Xudu. It is a good time to establish his authority."

"Take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the bandits, capture Xuzhou, and shock the hearts of all the poor people in the world. You can achieve many things with one move!"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed: "Zhicai, Zhongde (Cheng Yu's word), do you two think Wen Ruo's words are feasible?"

Playing Zhicai, Cheng Yu pondered briefly and nodded slowly: "It works!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai raised the corner of his mouth: "You can even reap the benefits!"

"Oh?"

Cao Cao became interested: "Zhi Cai, please tell me!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Yuan Shu from Huainan has always been ambitious. If he knew about the chaos in Xuzhou, how could he not take the opportunity to intervene?"

"Lin Fan can defeat Liu Bei and Lu Bu, which shows how capable he is. Let Yuan Shu fight in the front line for us. Regardless of his victory or defeat, if we take over Xuzhou in the name of the imperial court, wouldn't we just reap the benefits?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful!!"

"It seems that Lin Fan, who appeared out of nowhere, has helped us a lot."

"Let Xuzhou and Jianghuai be in chaos, so that we can also have the opportunity to reap the benefits."

"Ha ha!!"

The hearty laughter hovered over the main hall and never dissipated for a long time.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

General's Mansion, in the main hall.Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and Xu You were sitting around.

Looking at the news coming from Qingzhou, Yuan Shao looked solemn.

"Lin Fan defeated Lu Bu and Liu Bei within a few days, captured dozens of cities in Xuzhou, and shocked Xuzhou!"

"Everywhere he went, people even opened their doors to welcome him."

"Who can hear this man? How can he be so powerful?"

Tian Feng, Ju Sue, Xu You, Shen Pei and others all looked at each other. Even if they tried hard, they couldn't figure out who Lin Fan was.

After a long while, Tian Feng said: "Liu Bei is also a hero of the world. He was defeated by Lin Fan even though he had the right time, place and circumstances. Lin Fan should not be underestimated."

"However, the place where the Four Battles of Xuzhou are located is surrounded by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other ambitious people who are eyeing it."

"Our army has just occupied Qingzhou, and people's hearts are unstable, so it is not appropriate to get involved."

"My subordinates think that we don't have to worry about the affairs of Xuzhou for the time being. We should first eliminate the remnants of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou and unify Youzhou and Jizhou, and then in the map

Original! ! "

Jushou nodded: "What Yuan Hao (Tian Feng's name) said is true!"

"In troubled times, heroes are everywhere. If you have a gun, you will be the Grass-headed King!"

"Destroying Gongsun Zan, unifying Qingji Youhe, and occupying half of the world in the north is the top priority."

"Otherwise, in a two-front battle, one will be short of food and grass, and the other will be scattered. If Gongsun Zan is given a chance to breathe, he may not be able to make a comeback with his ability."

"It will be even more troublesome then!"

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and looked at Shen Pei, Xu You.

"Zhengnan (the word for Shenpei), Ziyuan (the word for Xu You), what do you think?"

During the match review, although Xu You and Ju Sue and Tian Feng were wrong, they knew that their analysis was good, so they rarely had any objections, and they all nodded: "What Yuan Hao said is true, it is time to destroy Gongsun Zan first, and then attack the Central Plains! !”

Yuan Shao stood up and said seriously: "My intention is also general, kill Gongsun Zan first!"

"It's just that Gongsun Zan has been entrenched in Youzhou for a long time, and now he has fortified the walls and cleared the country. He only defends but does not attack."

"Yan Liang came to report a few days ago that there is a shortage of food and grass. How should we raise food?"

"Do you have any ideas?"

Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, etc. all fell into deep thought. It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. How can rice be obtained out of thin air?

Xu You, who had not spoken for a long time, raised his lips and his eyes were full of confidence: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan to solve the food and grass problem!!"

"Oh?"

"Ziyuan, tell me quickly!!"

Yuan Shao said with excitement.

Xu You smiled and said: "Gongsun Zan is still lingering in Youzhou only because of the secret support of the Youzhou family."

"If I want to pacify Youzhou and secure Jizhou, I must contact many aristocratic families, understand their interests, promise their interests, and let them be used by me."

Yuan Shao frowned slightly: "I have invited the heads of the Cui family in Boling, the Zhen family in Zhongshan, and the Zhao family in Xindu to come to Yecheng to discuss important matters together."

"It's just that they were wavering and didn't respond."

"They don't offer any conditions, what can I do?"

Xu You said: "The three families have been entrenched in the north for hundreds of years and have great influence. Now they are advancing and retreating together. Naturally, they don't want to submit to the lord too quickly."

"We must divide the three families, separate them and defeat them, and use them for the Lord's use!"

"How to differentiate? How to defeat?"

Xu You smiled and said: "Zhen Yi's little daughter Zhen Mi is famous far and wide. She is famous in Youzhou and Jizhou."

"The Zhen family is as rich as the rest of the country, with countless grains of rice."

"If we can get married, why worry about Zhen Yi not giving her full support?"

After Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, he stroked his beard and laughed: "Ziyuan is really my son's wife!"

"Ha ha!!"
