"You are wrong. We are still brothers, but I have some ideas that are different from those of my eldest brother. The so-called ways are different and we do not conspire against each other." Yu Yi said. Zhang Fei said: "I think brother probably shouldn't be like this, but he must have his reasons for doing that. I hope you can understand him!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "Yes, it is because I understand that I have never left. See for yourself, if he listens to me once, how can he end up like this? These few times, I have been completely disappointed."
Zhang Fei still wanted to persuade him, but suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves not far away, and it was Guan Yu coming with his sword.
Yu Yi looked at Guan Yu and said, "Brother Guan, what are you doing? Are you planning to force me to stay?" After saying that, Yu Yi put his hands into his sleeves, ready to deal with the next changes at any time.
Guan Yu had already seen the change. Even if he was as powerful as him in martial arts, he would not dare to catch Yu Yi's flying knife at close range, so he said: "Are you really planning to leave?"
Yu Yi said: "Yes, I hope you will take good care of big brother."
Zhang Fei said: "What are your plans after leaving?"
In fact, Yu Yi didn't think about this problem clearly, and said: "I don't know, just wherever I go, maybe I will find a way to return to my world."
Neither of them understood the last sentence and fell into confusion.
At this time, someone suddenly came over on a white horse with a male and female sword in his hand. It was Liu Bei.
Yu Yi didn't expect him to come, and seemed a little surprised. Standing next to Liu Bei was Chen Deng, who was obviously his guest. He stopped Yu Yi and said, "You really want to leave!"
Yu Yi said: "Yes."
Chen Deng said: "Please don't misunderstand me. I had no choice but to take refuge with Cao Cao. I didn't expect that it would cause your brothers to split. It is really my fault." After saying that, he drew his sword and prepared to kill himself.
Liu Bei immediately stopped him. In fact, when he came over, he felt that he was indeed too harsh on Yu Yi, but he did not agree with Yu Yi's disrespect for the Han Dynasty many times.
When Yu Yi saw Chen Deng acting coy there, he felt a little depressed and said, "I can't match your skills, but maybe we will have a chance to compete in the future."
When Liu Bei saw Yu Yi being rude to Chen Deng, his desire to stay disappeared and he said: "Second brother, third brother, let's go back."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought Liu Bei was trying to persuade them to stay, but they didn't expect that he was calling them back.
Zhang Fei said: "What about the fourth brother? Just try to persuade him."
Liu Bei said: "You can also choose to leave with him, I will never stop you." After saying that, he turned and left.
Yu Yi did not expect Liu Bei to be so ruthless, but the brothers had gone through a lot, so he sarcastically said: "I hope you can defeat Cao's thieves as soon as possible under the leadership of Chen Deng and help the Han Dynasty. I take my leave."
This time Yu Yi left without looking back. He decided to go find Jia Xu first according to his previous plan.
In Jizhou, Sun Qian delivered the letter. After Yuan Shao read it, he thought to himself: "Liu Bei sent troops to force my younger brother to die of illness. Originally, I shouldn't have helped him, but Zheng Xuan wrote to me, and I had to do it for his sake." Yes, so I had to save him."
So he summoned military officers and civilian officials to discuss the rescue matter and prepare to attack Cao Cao.
Counselor Tian Feng said: "We have been fighting in recent years. The soldiers are very tired, the people are also very tired, and there is no extra food in the granary. We can no longer organize a large-scale attack. You can first send people to Xudu to ask Cao Cao If he doesn't agree to sacrifice the emperor, then we will refer to him and say that it is blocking our way to fulfill our duties faithfully. Then we will station troops in Liyang, then prepare enough warships and weapons in Hanoi, and send some elite troops to garrison in Hanoi. On the border, within three years, it will be enough to eliminate Cao Cao and accomplish great things."
The counselor Shen Pei immediately came out to object and said: "No, with Ming Gong's power and the strength of our Hebei Province, it is easy to attack Cao Cao. Why do we have to wait so long?"
Counselor Jushu also came out to speak and said: "The way to victory does not lie in how strong the troops are, but in the prevalence of Cao Cao's laws and the refinement of the troops. It is different from when we besieged Gongsun Zan at that time. Even if we attack Cao Cao now, there will be no one It’s a good reputation as a teacher.”
Suddenly laughter came from behind, and everyone looked and saw that it was Guo Tu, saying: "You are wrong. How can we say that we are attacking Cao Cao with no name? Duke Ming should make a big decision as soon as possible, and he can obey Zheng Xuan now My suggestion is to work with Liu Bei to rely on righteousness to destroy Cao's traitors. You must know that Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao's behavior is enough to prove that he is a Han traitor. Ming Gong's behavior is in line with the will of heaven and the people. It is a good thing. It’s something.”
The four counselors all expressed their opinions, but there was no consensus. After hearing this, Yuan Shao didn't know what to do.
Suddenly Xu You and Xun Chen came in. Yuan Shao stopped everyone's argument and said, "Stop arguing now and listen to what they have to say!"
After the two saluted, Yuan Shao said: "Zheng Xuan has sent a letter, hoping that I will send troops to help Liu Bei and attack Cao Cao. Should I send troops or not?"
This time the two of them agreed very much and said together: "The Ming Dynasty used the large to attack the small, used the strong to attack the weak, and crusaded against the Han thieves to support the royal family. He is an army of justice, so he naturally raised an army."
In fact, after Yuan Shao captured Gongsun Zan, his power expanded a lot, and he had already begun to make plans for the Central Plains. He immediately replied to the two of them, saying: "What you said is exactly what I thought." Then they began to discuss the matter of sending troops. Sun Qian was first asked to reply to Zheng Xuan. At the same time, he also agreed in the letter to coordinate with Liu Bei. On the one hand, he sent Shen Pei and Feng Ji to lead the army, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You as counselors, Yan Liang and Wen Chou as generals, and five soldiers to raise troops. One hundred thousand, 150,000 infantry, a total of 300,000 elite troops, marched towards Liyang.
After the military deployment was completed, Guo Tujin said: "Ming Gong is a righteous man. Before going out to the expedition, he must denounce Cao Cao's crimes and post them everywhere to gain the support of the people. Only then can he be justified and get twice the result with half the effort."
Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, so he sent Chen Lin to write a petition against the thieves. Chen Lin was a very talented scholar in Hebei and was the chief secretary during the period of Emperor Ling. Because he refused to listen to the advice and experienced Dong Zhuo's troubles, he ran to Jizhou. After taking refuge, Yuan Shao hired him as a writer. After Chen Lin received this task, she immediately wrote an article with great enthusiasm.
After everyone read it, they were full of praise. It scolded Cao Cao himself and his father. In the article on suppressing thieves, Cao Cao was a heinous bastard with all five poisons. However, the most noteworthy thing in it was Cao Cao's The history of tomb robberies says that he specially arranged for General Faqiu and Colonel Mojin to not even spare the corpses. There are also some of Cao Cao's dark methods, saying one thing overtly and another behind the scenes. The core point is that he has Everything the Han Dynasty did.
In the Ming Dynasty, some people who didn't know Cao Cao learned about Cao Cao through this petition against thieves, and they all hated him.
