Chen Gong felt a little unbelievable, "Wen He could have expected Zhou Yu's strategy?!"

Chen Lang glanced at the wooden tablet in his hand, and said: "Wen He anticipated that our strategy might be difficult to succeed, and also expected Zhou Yu to use Yuan Shu. He said everything. It's a pity that Wen He's letter arrived late. some."

Guan Yu clasped his fist and asked: "Mr. Wen He's letter is there a way to deal with it?"

Chen Lang looked at the wooden slip and said: "Wen He believes that the court can issue a tit-for-tat message to appeal to the thief, calling on the world's princes to cut Yuan Shu to rebel!"

Guan Yu frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't be of any use!"

Chen Gong waved his hand and said: "Otherwise. Wenhe's strategy is wonderful. If there are so many people today who are still facing the Han, Yuan Shu must be very clear about this. If we publish an article asking for a thief, even if no one responds, Yuan Shu will be wary of being guilty. At the same time, we sent people to spread rumors, saying that Cao Cao and others responded to the call to prepare Tao Yuan Shu. In this way, Yuan Shu only wanted to protect himself, and would not come to provoke us again."

Chen Lang nodded and said: "Wen He said the same." To Chen Gong said: "Gongtai, you immediately draft the thief's sentence, and then I will go to the palace to ask for an order!" Chen Gong clasped his fist and promised.

Later that day, Chen Lang accompanied Dian Wei to the harem, saw the emperor, and ordered the imperial decree, and then left the emperor’s bedroom to return to his residence.

A court lady ran after him, stood in front of Chen Lang, and said, "The general, the empress mother asked the general to speak."

Chen Lang thought that since he came to the palace, the queen mother invited him, and he was really not good enough to leave, so he walked towards the empress dowager's Changxin Palace. Dian Wei and several fangs followed Chen Lang.

Arriving outside Changxin Palace, Dian Wei and others stopped, and Chen Lang went straight in. Seeing that the banquet had been prepared in the palace, the Queen Mother greeted him with a smile on her face. Chen Lang clasped his fists and said: "The last general will see the empress dowager!" Empress Dowager He smiled and said: "The general does not have to be polite!" Then he said to the ladies of the court: "You all go down!" The ladies of the court promised, filed out, and closed. Closed the door. The palace immediately became dark, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

Queen Mother He invited Chen Lang to sit down, and then sat down, and asked with concern: "I heard that Yuan Shu actually betrayed the Han Dynasty when he claimed the emperor in Shouchun?"

Chen Lang nodded, "That's it. Not long ago, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun and established his name as Zhong Clan. I came into the palace today for this."

The Queen Mother said anxiously: "General Huqi, as the pillar of the Han Dynasty, can't just sit back and watch the rebellion raging!"

Chen Lang clasped his fist and said: "The queen mother can rest assured, I will not neglect this matter. I have already requested the imperial decree from your majesty. of!"

After hearing these words, the Queen Mother couldn't help but relax, her eyes looked at Chen Lang affectionately, and said: "With the general Hussar here, there is no need to worry too much about a woman in this palace!" Then she stood up and stood up. , Walked to Chen Lang, sat down on his knees, took the wine jug and filled the glass in front of Chen Lang with wine, took the wine glass and handed it to Chen Lang, with beautiful eyes flowing, and his expression charming and authentic: "My palace respects the general. !" Chen Lang's heart was upset, and he secretly said: Coming.

Chen Lang took the wine glass and ate it dry. The Queen Mother looked at Chen Lang, her expression swaying, her index finger trembling. Chen Lang put down his wine glass, stood up, clasped his fist and said, "Manny, I have to rush back to deal with this matter, so I'll leave!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was full of eagerness to disappear instantly, stood up, and said: "Please come back, the general! This important matter depends on the general!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry about the empress dowager!" Nodding towards the empress dowager He, he turned and left.

Chen Lang returned to the general's mansion and immediately handed over the thief's inquiries stamped with the seal of the jade seal to Chen Gong and ordered him to present it to the world. Soon, the imperial court's inquiries about thieves spread all over the world.

It is said that after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, in order to go west to Luoyang to eliminate the Han Dynasty, he curtailed Huainan's three feet and violently enlisted men over the age of fifteen and under fifty. Yuan Shu's army rapidly increased in a short time. A million people are the best princes! At this point, Yuan Shu felt that he was holding the universe in his hand, and the world was in his hands, and he was arrogant!

At this moment, the imperial court's essay on the thieves reached Yuan Shu's hands. After seeing it, Yuan Shu was taken aback and couldn't help worrying. General Yang took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty proclaims the emperor, and the world is looking sideways. Now that the imperial court's tao slashing text comes out, I am afraid that the princes of the world will attack them! It is better to cancel the emperor title immediately!"

Li Feng said unhappily: "Why did Master Yang make such a cowardly remark!" Then he said to Yuan Shu: "Just a Taoist essay is not enough! Now the Han Dynasty is declining, who will respond to the court's orders! Your majesty, minister I thought it would be better to give the princes of the world to be high-ranking officials! If the princes of the world accept, they will express surrender to your majesty!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and he was immediately required to do so.

Not long after, the envoys who had traveled to various places returned one after another. Yuan Shu was full of hope that the envoys could bring back good news, but as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Yuan Shu was full of expectations for the grand occasion of the vassal surrender of the world, but almost no envoys brought back good news. Yuan Shu added officials to the princes of the world, but except for Sun Jian's acceptance, all the other princes strictly refused! This caused Yuan Shu's original excitement to be poured into a basin of cold water, and it was chilled a lot! Moreover, this incident also made Yuan Shu feel isolated and couldn't help worrying!

General Yang took the opportunity to persuade Yuan Shu to cancel the emperor title, but how could Yuan Shu give up his emperor's throne!

At this moment, there were rumors that Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, and even Sun Jian had the intention of attacking him. This made Yuan Shu terrified. General Yang once again persuaded Yuan Shu to cancel the emperor title, but Yuan Shu still refused. Li Feng said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, although the attitudes of the princes of the world are not satisfactory, most of them are just taking a wait-and-see attitude! Your Majesty now holds a million soldiers in his hand, who can match your Majesty! Your Majesty can imitate the Qin country back then The strategy of distant friendship and close attack, make friends with the princes in the same place, and attack the princes near them. In time, they will dominate the mountains and rivers!"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and praised: "Li Feng's words are what I like the most!"

General Yang saw that Yuan Shu didn't listen to his advice, only feeling helpless and very worried.

Li Feng said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the princes around us are the weakest in Xuzhou Tao Qian, and Xuzhou is a big state with a prosperous population and rich goods. It is better to send Tao Qian to annex Xuzhou first!!"

Yuan Shu couldn't help but be moved. Subconsciously looked at General Yang and asked: "General Yang, what do you say?"

General Yang felt that since the lord did not listen to advice and refused to cancel the emperor title, he could only find ways to unify the rivers and mountains for the present plan. Among the surrounding princes, only Tao Qian was the easiest to start. Starting from him might be able to open the situation. At this point, General Yang clasped his fist and said: "The minister also agrees to this proposal!"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and gave an order: "Ling Ji Ling, lead one hundred thousand soldiers as the vanguard, I will take three hundred thousand troops as a back-office, and the art of war in Xuzhou!"

General Yang clasped his fist and said: "Your Majesty can send someone to Xuzhou to order Tao Qian to come to surrender at the same time. If he comes to surrender, he can protect his reputation. Tao Qian has always been cowardly. Maybe your Majesty can surrender the entire Xuzhou without a single shot!"

Yuan Shu nodded, and ordered Li Feng to be an envoy to Xuzhou immediately, and ordered Tao Qian to surrender.

Yuan Shu issued the order to expedition, and the whole Huainan land was in a commotion, and a large army began to gather to the north. One hundred thousand elites led by the general hastily acted as the first striker.

The news reached Sun Jian's army who was besieging Jiang Xia. Sun Jian frowned and said, "If Yuan Shu doesn't go to Luoyang, why did he act on Xuzhou?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said: "It must be related to the court's inquiries about thieves and the recent rumors! Yuan Shu must be afraid that the princes will be enemies with him, so he dared not stay away from his lair and attack Luoyang, and wanted to expand the territory as soon as possible, so he chose Tao Qian, the weakest, started!"

Sun Jian nodded and asked; "Gong Jin, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu smiled and clasped his fist: "Although Yuan Shu did not act exactly according to our intentions, we still don't have to worry about them. Our original plan remains unchanged. We will first seize Jiangxia and then Jingzhou! Then we will go north to fight Chen Lang decisively. Occupy the Central Plains and look down on the world!" Zhou Yu's eyes shone with inexplicable brilliance, it seems that Chen Lang is his life and death enemy!

Sun Jian nodded, "Okay, just do what Gong Jin said!" Then he glanced at the generals and sternly shouted: "Tomorrow all the infantry will be dispatched to besiege Jiang Xia on three sides, and take Jiang Xia in one go!" The generals roared and promised. , The loud sound seems to be about to knock off the tent!

Early the next morning, the sound of the huge war drums shook the sky! Huang Zu hurriedly rushed to the gates of the city, and he saw Sun Jiajun rushing up from the east, west and south like a tide. The swords and guns were like forests, and the flags were surging, and he couldn't help but change his color in amazement!

He turned his gaze back to Luoyang.

Chen Lang received the report this day and learned that Yuan Shu had launched an army to attack Tao Qian, and couldn't help feeling that the wheel of history seemed to have returned to its original place. How will things develop next? Will Yuan Shu be defeated in such a short time as in history? But no matter what, if you do this, you don't have to worry about annoying flies! Chen Lang couldn't help but smile.

Chen Gong walked in quickly, presented a report to Chen Lang, and said anxiously; "There was news from Jingzhou just now that Jiang Xia was breached by the Sun family!"

Chen Lang was taken aback. After reading the result report, he frowned and said; "Jiang Xia City has plenty of reserves, how come it was captured so quickly!"

Chen Gong said annoyedly: "It's not because of Liu Biao! He was a fierce general in Jingzhou, but he chose the most useless Huang Zu to guard the vital Jiangxia! How can Huang Zu be Sun Jian's opponent? It won’t be long before Sun Jian took it down!"
