Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 90 Yuan Shao vomiting blood?
Yanzhou, Shanyang County.

County government office, in the study.

Cao Cao looked at the news that had just come from Xiapi and didn't speak for a long time.

Although Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun on the side did not know the content of the battle report, they could guess from Cao Cao's ugly face that the news was not good news.

"My lord, has Lin Fan made any new moves?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

Cao Cao handed the battle report to Xi Zhicai.

The battle report was circulated among the three people, and soon all three of them had a look of sadness on their faces.

Xiahou Dun sighed with shock on his face: "They say you have to pick the soft persimmons to eat, but Lin Fan unexpectedly broke through from the north. Isn't this inviting Yuan Shao, a fierce tiger?"

"Although Qingzhou's elite troops have been dispersed, Yuan Shao still has at least 30 troops. As long as he is willing to send his troops south, Lin Fan will live or die."

Cao Ren nodded in agreement: "What Yuan Rang said is absolutely true. Although Lin Fan's move has damaged the morale of our army, in the long run, he has caused big trouble for Yuan Shao."

"Even if it is to avenge his son, Yuan Shao will send heavy troops southward."

"Lin Fan is taking death in a right way!"

Cao Cao shook his head and looked at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai said solemnly: "It seems that Lin Fan is seeking his own death, so he is not warning us."

"The [-]-strong Yuan army was wiped out with just a single strike. Yuan Tan and Yan Liang were all killed in battle. How could the other princes not be frightened?"

"If nothing else, how could Liu Yao, Wang Lang, Sun Ce and others gathered in Huainan not be afraid?"

"If there is no chance of winning, I'm afraid they won't dare touch Lin Fan's power."

"This is a warning, a declaration of threat to the princes of the world."

"Whoever takes the lead will die first!"

Cao Cao nodded: "Zhicai and I have the same views."

"Originally, we had started preparing to send troops, but this defeat will postpone it for at least two months."

"This means that Lin Fan can survive for two more months."

Xiahou Dun hesitated: "Is it cost-effective to provoke Yuan Shao and launch a large-scale attack in just two months?"

Xi Zhicai said: "It is not cost-effective for others to anger a powerful enemy, but it is very cost-effective for Lin Fan."

"He was born a bandit and was not tolerated by the princes in the world. All princes, including Yuan Shao, are enemies."

"Since they are enemies, it is life and death. Lin Fan has not suffered any loss but has gained two months of time. Do you think it is a good deal?"

Xiahou Dun's face was shocked: "But. But if Yuan Shao takes it seriously, Lin Fan will only lose faster."

"When there is no way to survive, what's the use of living for two more months?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "Yuan Shao is not without constraints!"

"Even if he hates Lin Fan no more, he has to stabilize the rear before sending troops."

"Don't forget that among the princes in the world, only Gongsun Zan did not respond to the court's call, because everyone knew that Yuan Shao would not give him a chance to breathe."

"It is precisely because of Gongsun Zan's restraint that Yuan Shao is unwilling to compete in the Central Plains now."

"Lin Fan's move is extremely dangerous, but if it comes true, it will only take two months, and it will also damage the arrogance of our coalition."

"It's really a feat of excellence."

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking in the direction of Xiapi City, he couldn't help but cursed: "Yuan Tan Huangkou kid, ruining our coalition's affairs!"

"Damn it!"

After scolding a few times, Cao Cao calmed down and said, "Zhicai, what should we do now?"

"If you don't give Lin Fan a chance to breathe, press forward, or should you wait for the rest of the coalition forces?"

"I always feel that Lin Fan's immortality is a huge variable."

"I feel like I'm getting cold sweats when I think about what he did."

"In two months, if he really breaks the deadlock, what should he do?"

Xi Zhicai pondered for a long time and shook his head with a wry smile: "We can only gather a small amount of attack without waiting for the rest of the coalition forces, but this will be like the eighteenth princes attacking Dong Zhuo back then."

"Everyone has his own agenda and different people's hearts. How can we defeat the enemy?"

"My subordinates feel that they are all together, but they are just a mob. In terms of combat effectiveness, they may not have much."

Cao Cao sighed: "Then we can only wait!"

"Two months, two months" "I don't know how many variables there will be"

"Ugh"

Faint sighs lingered in the study room. The four people who were originally confident all had their own worries and were no longer as confident as they were a few days ago.

Jizhou, Yecheng, General Mansion.

Yuan Shao was in a good mood in recent days because Xu You brought back good news from Zhongshan County.

Zhen Yi finally relented and was willing to marry the Yuan family. The wedding was only a month away.

In other words, in one month, he will have the full support of the Zhen family and other aristocratic families, and will have countless food and grass.

Every time he thought of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sing a few songs in a low voice to express his inner happiness.

Today, someone was sent to deliver the betrothal gifts. Yuan Shao, Xu You and other close friends gathered together again to drink and have fun.

Sheng, song and swallows danced, and drunken and wealthy fans wandered in the main hall.

Looking at the snow-white thighs and slim figure, a group of people showed obscene looks.

If anyone present said that the only one who felt uncomfortable was Ju Shou.

Jushou felt that Hebei was still undecided and Yuan Shao had many things to do. How could he drink and have fun every day?
Just a few persuasion, not only had no effect, Yuan Shao also alienated him a lot, which made him depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing the atmosphere getting more intense, Jushou stood up and was about to leave.

Just listen to the sound of rapid footsteps, approaching from far away.

I don't know why Jushou had a bad feeling in his heart.

But now there is no large-scale use of troops. Could it be Qingzhou?
"Mr. Guo Tu is back!!"

"Mr. Guo Tu asks to see the general!!"

Two consecutive calls made Yuan Shao, who was already a little drunk, slowly stand up: "Guo Tu? Isn't he in Qingzhou? Why is he back?"

"But he came back just in time, let him come in and have a few drinks with me!!"

After not much effort, Guo Tu came in from the outside lying in a mess and covered with blood.

"My lord, I'm sorry for you. I've failed to live up to your expectations!"

"I came here specifically to receive death!"

Guo Tu cried and screamed sadly.

This appearance shocked all the confidants of Yuan Shao around him.

Xu You, who has always had a good relationship with Guo Tu, hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother Gongze, what's going on?"

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

"But there's a war in Qingzhou?"

Yuan Shao, who was in the first position, also had a clear head.

He shook his head and looked at Guo Tu nervously: "What happened in Qingzhou?"

"Could it be that Cao Cao is playing dirty tricks and taking advantage of the alliance to paralyze our army and invade Qingzhou?"

In Yuan Shao's mind, the only ones who could attack Qingzhou were Cao Cao from Yanzhou and Lin Fan from Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Lin Fan can't protect himself, so he has no worries. The only one who can cause trouble is Cao Cao.

So when he opened his mouth to criticize Cao Cao!

Guo Tu kowtowed repeatedly and said sadly: "Tian Feng colluded with the Mi family and set up an ambush in Xiapi!"

"My eldest son, General Yan Liang died in battle outside Xiapi City!"

"The entire army of [-] was annihilated!!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.

Yuan Shao felt as if his head had been hit hard: "This"

"how can that be?"

"impossible"

He wailed twice, his energy and blood surged up, his heart was burning, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft."

His vision went dark, and his body fell towards the ground.
