"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The bursts of killing shouts shook his eardrums. Cheng Feng looked at the soldiers training in front of him, and his heart was full of pride. Although it had only been a few years, he did a rough calculation, and it was about There were 150,000 elite soldiers, which was simply a miracle in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At this time, it was standard to be hungry and naked!

"Lord, how are these soldiers?" Wu Qingshan asked naively

"Not bad, not bad!" Cheng Feng smiled so big that it almost reached his ears. This was what he was really saying. Although he was not much older than these people, or even a little younger, in this country where the average age is less than thirty In the age of 150,000 able-bodied men, that would be really awesome!

"Then can we go to the battlefield?" Zhang He looked at Cheng Feng and said excitedly

"Going to the battlefield? Who are you going to hit?" Cheng Feng asked cutely. These words made Zhang He and others almost stumble out. Who else are they going to hit? With this strength, it is not a pushover to hit anyone.

"This means raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. Besides, there are so many princes who respect themselves by supporting the army. Why don't we give them a good education?" Zhang He said, wiping his sweat.

"Haha, don't worry, raise the troops first, the time to send them out is not yet!" Cheng Feng smiled charmingly, but what he said made Zhang He and others even more confused. I really don't know what harm this king of traps is holding back. !

"Fengxiao, let them take action now. Help Lu Feng first. After all, we are both marquises conferred by the late emperor!" Chengfeng said another incomprehensible words. Others were confused, except Guo Feng. Jia was overjoyed. After responding, he ran away in a hurry!

"Lord, what is this?" Zhang Liao looked confused, a little confused as to why Cheng Feng suddenly said this, but as a qualified subordinate, he kept the words in his heart!

"Haha, you will know when the time comes. Now let's enjoy this grand military parade!" Cheng Feng laughed and said mysteriously. That wretched look is very much like some of the magicians of later generations!

The others were speechless when they heard this, and everyone was used to this scammer. If one day he honestly stopped doing this, it would be like hell!

Shouchun City, as a shining pearl in the southeast of the Han Dynasty, is really loved by thousands of people. In this devastated land, it is a land of plenty and plenty. The entire Han Dynasty is either suffering from famine or plague, and only here is rich. The oil is flowing, and happy moments are everywhere!

"My lord, we accumulated a lot of food and grass from last year's great harvest, and now we can support my lord's great cause!" Ji Ling said to Yuan Shu with a smile. Although he is not an important person in charge of internal affairs, as the number one general, he still has a lot of power. Big right!

"Yes, General Ji is right. We are the most powerful now. Sun Jian will contain Liu Biao for us. We only need to capture Xuzhou now, and then we can station troops on the south bank of the Yellow River!" Chen Ji said, while also trying to please. After taking a look at Ji Ling, he saw that this was Yuan Shu's favorite general, and he was also the main player in protecting the safety of one side!

"Yeah!" A slight reply came from Yuan Shu's throat, which made the group of people wonder if there was something wrong with their ears. Especially Zhang Xun and others looked at Yuan Shu in surprise. Is he still the same Yuan Gongli who is so happy about his achievements?

"Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye!" Yuan Shu said suddenly, "What do you think of this sentence?"

"This!" Yang Hong and others were stunned, and they instantly understood what Yuan Shu meant. This kid still wanted to be the emperor, and couldn't help but sweat. He had just persuaded him last time, but now he was hysterical again!

"My lord, what do you mean?" Ji Ling said. You have to think quickly, otherwise you won't be able to become a general. Although you know Yuan Shu's thoughts, you have to say it in a different way!

"I mean highway, doesn't it mean avenue? This is me! Now that I have enough troops and food, and the jade seal in hand, who in the world dares to stop me?" Yuan Shu changed from his normal state and said with a trace of madness.

"My lord, no!" Yan Xiang said quickly, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted!

"Why not? Now we can fully support our troops and respect ourselves. But if the Lord declares himself emperor, we will be the elders who started a new dynasty and the founding heroes of the country. Why not? Cao Mengde has taken the initiative by holding the emperor hostage and ordering the princes. If he does not counterattack , then Cao Cao wants money and food from us, should we give it or not?" Yang Hong said, this kid is determined to make Yuan Shu the emperor!

"Yang Hong should be killed for what he said!" Yan Xiang said angrily, "Now that the Lord is proclaiming the emperor, it will definitely trigger a joint crusade by all the heroes. Can Huainan face the attacks of these people at the same time? You have repeatedly encouraged the Lord Go ahead, you want to bury Huainan!" At the end of the sentence, Yan Xiang was really angry!

"I am willing to command tens of thousands of troops to share the Lord's worries!" Zhang Xun Ji Ling and other seven generals spoke quickly. Only with this can they take a step forward!

"You..." Yan Xiang was speechless for a moment and swallowed the words that came to his lips. This was too irritating. Only then did he realize that today's court meeting was unusual. This group of people seemed to be all Crazy?

"Well, you are right. I do want to be the emperor. I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have disciples and former officials all over the Han Dynasty, and my reputation is at the top of the sky! Now that the emperor has fallen into the hands of the Cao thief, it is time to reach the end of his rope. I should obey the destiny and stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty, why not?" Yuan Shu said slowly

"Your lord is wise, we are willing to share your worries with you!" Ji Ling and others said

"No, now is definitely not a good time to proclaim the emperor. Cao Cao, Cheng Feng and others are all rare talents and powerful, and they are our formidable enemies. There are many descendants of the Liu family, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and Liu Bei are all tigers and wolves. Masters, don't fight at the same time easily, otherwise you will bring disaster!" Yan Xiang hurriedly spoke, fearing that he would be finished if it was too late!

"Yan Xiang, although you are the most strategic person here, you should not let others have ambitions and destroy your own prestige!" Qiao Rui said

"Generals, I am not going to destroy my prestige. You should think about it for yourselves. Can you now go to war with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others at the same time? Can you win?" Yan Xiang said angrily.

"This..." Ji Ling and others were silent for a while.

"My lord, now is definitely not a good time to proclaim the emperor," Yan Xiang said sadly.

"Huh, when will that be? Now Yuan Shao is showing his fangs and is ready to fight Cao Cao. Sun Jian is restraining Liu Biao, Lu Bu and Liu Bei are restraining each other, and Liu Yan is far away. Do you think there is a better time?" Yuan Shu Somewhat hysterical

"This!" Yan Xiang was stunned, it seemed like this was the case, but it still felt weird!

"My lord, there is no need to be angry. Master Yan is also thinking about your lord. Although various places are attacking each other now, there is no guarantee that they will not let us go after becoming emperor. Therefore, we still suggest that your lord should not proclaim himself emperor first, but to send troops first to defeat Liu Bei." Lu Bu, occupy Xuzhou, then attack Chenliu, and strangle Cao Cao's southward attack route. After taking the initiative, it will be a good time for the lord to proclaim himself emperor! By then, the richest places in the Han Dynasty will be in the hands of the lord, and there will be no opponents south of the Yellow River. .As for Chengfeng, let the eldest son deal with it!" Han Yin said

These words made everyone's eyes light up. This is indeed the best way and the most appropriate. However, everyone is also a little confused at this time. Why have you become so irritable all of a sudden recently? Groups of people all over Huainan are discussing Tu Gaoye, the successor to the Han Dynasty. Isn't this what the people want!

"Well, yes, yes, Lord Han is right!" Looking at Yuan Shu's face, Yang Hong said, although he has not convinced Yan Xiang yet, at least he is not so embarrassed. If this old minister is in front of so many people If you fight Yuan Shu, there will really be no good results!

"In this case, let's discuss how to use the troops!" Yuan Shu said reluctantly with a long face. His face turned blue and was scary, but he also understood that Yan Xiang was thinking about himself, otherwise He would not contradict himself like this. Although Yuan Shu was very fond of achievements and had no great abilities, he was not a simple person to become a prince!

"My lord, Liu Bei has the smallest number of troops right now. Lu Bu and Zhang Fei have a grudge against each other. If we can unite with Lu Bu, we will definitely be able to annihilate Liu Bei. When the time comes, we can capture Lu Bu easily and occupy Xuzhou as a whole. We will have the strength to fight decisively with Cao Caosun!" "Li Feng said, he has studied it countless times. Only Huainan can't defeat Cao Cao. After all, here are rich people, and few people wield swords and guns. Even during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of the people here can't defeat Cao Cao. People also spend money to eliminate disasters!

"Who is willing to contact Lu Bu and tell us how to tie Lu Bu firmly to our chariot?" Yuan Shu said, despite the enthusiasm of these people, Yuan Shu didn't have any confidence, and Lu Bu didn't He is famous for being a double-edged swordsman who can do both things better than himself. Do you want to be his adoptive father? Thinking of this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but shudder. Didn't you hear Cheng Feng talking about him? Lu Bu is among the red rabbits among horses, and Fang Tian is among men. Draw a halberd to stab your adoptive father!

"Marriage! My lord has a son and Lu Bu has a daughter. I am willing to lobby Lu Bu!" Chen Ji said quickly. If he wants to occupy a certain position in Yuan Shu Group, he must have superhuman performance. This group of people are all following him. Among the old men of Yuan Shu, only he is new!

"This matter must be done by Mr. Chen!" Yan Xiang said with a smile, as long as Yuan Shu does not proclaim himself emperor now, he can do anything!

After listening to Yan Xiang's words, Chen Ji felt like ten thousand grass and mud horses whizzing by. He cursed the old fox secretly and lowered his head lower at the same time!

"Okay, I will write a letter and ask Master Chen to go to Lu Bu!" Yuan Shu said with a smile, as if he saw that everything was falling into place, and he seemed to be about to ascend to the top of the Nine Five!

"My lord, what if Lu Bu disagrees?" General Ji Ling said. After all, the matter has not yet happened. If the trap that deliberately poked his adoptive father was different, he would have to work harder to let Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor!

"I'll tell you later. I don't think Chen Gong can't understand this form!" Yuan Shu said with a smile.

Chenliucheng, Cao Cao's hometown, has been full of sadness and revenge recently. Every time he thought of his old father being killed, Cao Mengde woke up from his dream and suffered from head wind without knowing it, which made him even more... He hated everything about Xuzhou, so Tao Qian and his family went to see the late emperor without knowing why. He himself knew that Liu Bei had done it, but the public opinion in the sky was pointing at him, but he didn't care about this, as long as Xuzhou was taken away Once you get it, it's all worth it!

"Lord! Yuan Shao's army suddenly made some movement, and it looks like they are going to attack us!" Xun Yu said, looking at Cao Cao's appearance, he frowned involuntarily, feeling a little worried!

"Haha, Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't have that much courage. I'm afraid he's just showing off. I think his goal should be Xuzhou, or even Xiaopei, Beihai occupied by Lu Bu!" Cao Cao sneered.

"Huh?" Liu Ye and others were stunned, as if a flash of lightning flashed through their minds. They had been confused for a long time and suddenly found a trace of understanding!

"In this case, my lord, why don't we also raise troops to attack Xuzhou, add fuel to the fire of Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and let them move around!" Liu Ye said

"Haha, what about you? Is that what you mean?" Cao Cao looked at the smiles on the faces of the other people.

"It's okay to raise troops, but it's not necessary to attack Xuzhou. This place is so big, how can we have enough to eat?" Cheng Yu said with a smile, this makes sense. Even if Xuzhou is a large land and rich in resources, how can it be enough for four or five people? The feudal lords of the family are divided among themselves. Without a strong person to take over, there will only be endless melee!

"What's Zhongde's wisdom?" Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Xun Yu raised his hands and asked. These people are all quick-thinking people. They may not think of it sometimes, but they will never fail to understand it. They all know about Cheng Yu, This guy is famous for being ruthless, coming from a strong family background, having great martial arts skills, and always has some creative thinking!

"I mean Wancheng!" Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and said murderously,

Everyone only heard a sound of air-conditioning. After all, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew had just been arranged to Wancheng. After all, he was a hero in escorting them. It is really unjustifiable to turn around and attack them!

"This Wancheng is to the west of our Xuchang, and it is also our gateway. It is best to recover it. In this way, we can leave Wuguan and guard the two capitals. We can also attack Jingzhou when we go south. The most important thing is that we can directly reach Shangyong City and open up The gate to Hanzhong in Shu!" Xun Yu said excitedly

"Well, Wancheng must be captured. Even if Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew surrender, they must be captured. The war horses in Dawan City are very excellent. If our army's tiger and leopard cavalry want to become more elite, war horses are indispensable!" Cao Cao nodded slightly and said

"But now Yuan Shao has taken action, we can't leave our back to him. Yuan Shao is ambitious and eyeing Yanzhou and Xuzhou. I'm afraid he won't let us send troops so easily!" Xun Yu frowned slightly. This is indeed a difficult problem. Yuan Shao Although I am so happy that I don’t have much ability, I can’t help but there are so many people at my disposal!

"My lord can dispatch Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren to garrison Chenliu. As for Luoyang City, can Li Dian and others be garrisoned, so that we can organize Yuan Shao to cross the river south. In addition, my lord can send envoys and ask Cheng Feng to send troops to attack Yuan Shao in the name of the emperor. We can take advantage of this opportunity." Wancheng has been captured!" Xun You thought for a while and said

"I'm afraid that Chengfeng won't obey my orders!" Cao Cao said with a helpless smile when he heard Chengfeng's name.

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you listen or not. The main reason is that Yuan Shao is afraid of him. As long as there is such a thing, Yuan Shao will not dare to send troops without any scruples. As long as Yuan Shao can be stabilized, everything will be fine when we take Wancheng. Got it!" Xi Zhicai said

"Okay, that's it!" Cao Mengde said with a smile, feeling extremely happy. With so many counselors, he felt so happy!

While Cao Cao was dispatching troops and generals, he gave orders to Cheng Feng, and secretly sent scouts and spies to spread Cheng Feng's rumors among Yuan Shao's army. For a time, the whole land of Jizhou was in turmoil, as if it had returned to the starting point of the war!

"Humph, Cao Mengde is indeed treacherous. What do you think about this matter?" Yuan Shao asked with a blue face. The army was ready, and suddenly something like this happened again. No one is happy, not to mention Yuan Shao's attitude toward Chengfeng has an unknown fear!

"Don't worry, my lord, Cheng Feng is a real tiger and wolf. He will definitely not obey Cao Cao's orders. Everyone in the world knows that Cao Mengde held the emperor hostage to order the princes. He is called the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. At present, our army has strong soldiers and horses, and Cheng Feng will not You can use your troops at will!" Tian Feng said.

"My lord, you must not be careless!" Jushou said quickly,

"Huh? What do you mean by loving me?" Yuan Shao didn't understand why Jushou was sweating profusely.

"Chengfeng has always wanted to annex our army, but we have the support of the Jizhou family and have sufficient troops and food. Moreover, the city is high and the city is deep. If we want to attack by force, we will definitely suffer huge losses! But if we send troops rashly and give up our own advantages , then our army is no match for the Chengfeng Army, so please think twice, lord, should we focus on offense or defense?" Jushu said.

"You must attack, and offense is the best defense!" Yuan Shao showed a rare strength, and a rare lack of indecision!

"The army has been assembled, and it is Lu Bu who is going south to attack Cao Mengde. In a matter of seconds, as for Cheng Feng, this man has always been full of benevolence, justice and morality, focusing on the common people. Now is the spring plowing season. I believe he will not destroy his future! It's possible. Don't worry, don't worry about him, just send a general to lead the troops to guard Yecheng!" Yuan Shaodao

"My lord, don't underestimate Cheng Feng. This man is truly ambitious. He holds a heavy army without moving. No one knows how much food, troops and horses he has. All the careful scouts can't find out the news about Cheng Feng. In addition, This person is good at fooling the people and setting up a cult, which invisibly adds a lot of spies, making it really difficult for people to guard against, so the lord still needs to pay attention to him!" Xu You said!

"That's right!" Yuan Shao said. He has an indecisive temperament to begin with, and he also has that deceptive difficulty in making choices. If only one person can come up with a plan, Yuan Shao would be a perfect lord. However, it is a pity that Yuan Shao has so many advisers, which makes him most disappointed. What people don't expect is that this group of people also have their own small teams. They attack each other, which makes Yuan Shao even more embarrassed! Tian Feng was speechless when he saw Yuan Shao's urinary behavior. The reviewers were also stunned, as if they had messed up the matter!

"Gentlemen, this is a special period. You must not use your sword lightly, otherwise you will be killed. I would like all gentlemen to work together and come up with a plan!" The senior official looked at it and it didn't seem to be the case, so he had to bite the bullet and said , other military generals, Yan Liangwen, Chou Gaolan and the like, just have a head of muscles, it's okay to let them charge into battle, but it's better to kill them if you come up with an idea!

"The army marched out on white horses, abandoned Chenliu, went straight to Puyang, and attacked Lu Bu first. They ordered Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others to lead five thousand troops each as the vanguard and go straight to the ferry. On the way, they encountered Lu Bu's army scouts and left no one alive! I personally commanded the army to suppress the rear, Gao Gao Lan Gaogan and his two men guard Jizhou and guard against Chengfeng and do not engage in battle with him! Brother Shenpei led his troops south, stationed at Baima and Guandu, and monitored Cao Cao closely. We must capture Lu Bu in this battle!" Yuan Shao thought for a while and made up his mind. !

"No!" Everyone hurriedly saluted, and then went out to prepare. The storm of the battle caused a strong wind. At this most unsuitable time for fighting, the smell of blood spread to the land of China again!
