This time, in order to join forces with Sun Jian and resist the attack of the Xiliang Army, Liu Qi racked his brains and used all the systems that he could use.

Sun Jian is a tiger.

He is a bold and reckless tiger. The strong are not afraid of it.

If Liu Qi's side took the initiative to get close to him, please him, and begged him down and begged to join forces with him, Liu Qi probably wouldn't have any good results.

Given what Sun Jian did in Jingzhou before, he might have forced the Jingzhou army to be incorporated.

So Liu Qi set up this link of strategy, intending to tie Sun Jian to his chariot and let him unconditionally resist the Xiliang Army with him.

Using Cai Mao's letters as introductions, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were all involved.

In this current situation, Yuan Shu is the only person who can make Sun Jian willing to obey orders.

All I want is to station troops with Sun Jian through Yuan Shu's relationship.

With two Yuan fighting against each other behind their backs and operating in secret, Sun Jian would not be able to cooperate with his own side, but he might not be able to do so.

With Sun Jian by his side, why should the Xiliang Army be afraid?

...

Sour jujube, in Zhang Miao's camp.

"Meng Zhuo, Meng Zhuo?"

Zhang Miao's general tent was lifted up, and Dai Fenwu General Cao Cao quickly walked into the tent.

His breathing was quite uneven, and he seemed to have a little breathing, as if something was important.

Zhang Miao was holding a roll of bamboo slips and was looking through boredly. After hearing the sound, he raised his head and looked at the person coming.

He and Cao Cao have been close friends for many years.

Although Cao Cao is dependent on him now, Zhang Miao never regarded Cao Cao as a vassal, but instead became close to him with the friendship of his colleagues.

Moreover, Zhang Miao knew that with Cao Cao's ability and family energy, coupled with his relationship with Yuan Shao, it would be only a temporary matter to rely on himself.

In the entire Chenliu army's camp, Cao Cao was the only one who could go directly into and out of the commander's tent without reporting.

"Why is Meng De so impatient?" Zhang Miao frowned and pretended to be displeased: "Is it that my hands are unbearable and I want to play a game with someone?"

Cao Cao walked to Zhang Miao's table, bowed to him, and smiled bitterly: "Meng Zhuo is very interested, but I'm afraid the game will not work today. Cao is here to resign from Meng Zhuo."

"Resign?"

Zhang Miao put down the bamboo slips in his hand and frowned and said, "It's great, where do you want to leave? Do you think that Chenliu is small and cannot afford your Cao Gong's soldiers?"

"You and my brother, what are you saying?"

Cao Cao was a little amused and laughed: "Brother, look at these two letters and you will know the clues."

After saying that, he placed two volumes of bamboo slips on the table in front of Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao looked at it in confusion, then picked up the two volumes of bamboo slips and expanded them separately.

A very familiar letter was written by Yuan Shao.

Another letter was signed by Cai Mao, a native of Caizhou, Xiangyang.

Zhang Miao seemed to have heard Meng De talk about it. Cai Mao seemed to be the reckless boy who went with him to block Liang Shangshu's family.

Zhang Miao carefully read all the two letters, and the more he read, the heavier his face became.

"This is a coincidence. Cai Mao, the commander of Xiangyang, relied on his personal relationship with you, and asked you to recommend Benchu ​​for Liu Qi. Now that Benchu ​​supports Liu Yu and becomes emperor, he asked you to contact the Liu family alliance for him. Haha... Whether it is for public or private, it seems that you really have to go there? It's so hard."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard and smiled, "It's okay to work hard, after all, it's all for justice. Besides, Benchu ​​is in trouble now, and Cao is not the leader of the country. He is just a general of Fenwu. It's better to run errands for him and help Benchu ​​do something."

Zhang Miao's smile disappeared. He looked at Cao Cao seriously for a while and sighed: "After so many years, Meng De still has such a loyalty... Alas, the move of Benchu's support for Liu Yu as emperor was really a chess move. He was careless and even let Yuan Gaolu seize the opportunity... When he first wrote to him about this, you replied to him and advised him not to support Liu Yu as emperor and to sit and observe the current situation, but he just didn't listen."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said indifferently: "Hi! What happened in the past? What did you do! Liu Yu's affairs were not the fault of Benchu... I thought about it. Even if Liu Yu was not successful, I would not have many disasters, so I didn't force him to persuade Benchu. I didn't expect that the highway actually made King Chen the crown prince, which was really surprising... It seems that we all underestimated him at the beginning."

Zhang Miao nodded when he saw Cao Cao so freely and freely.

Although Cao Cao was younger than Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao thought he was not as good as him when it came to his broad mind.

Zhang Miao had a feeling that he felt that Cao Mengde was devoted to serving the people and was much better than the county magistrates.

"Well, since it is related to the original reputation, Meng De left this time, which can be regarded as helping his old friend. He is in the rear and supplies food and grass for you. You lead the troops of our headquarters to meet the people of Jingzhou... By the way, where are those people of Jingzhou now?"

"It is said to be stationed near Huoyang Mountain."

When Zhang Miao heard this, his expression was slightly stagnant.

"It's quite close to Yangren County."

"Yes, Sun Jian is stationed here."

Zhang Miao stroked his beard and advised: "It would be great if I only saw Liu Qi, but if I accidentally met Sun Jian, Meng De would need to be more careful."

Cao Cao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Meng Zhuo, Cao must be careful."

...

In Luyang, Yuan Shu also received a letter sent by Liu Qi to him.

"At this point, Yuan Benchu ​​is still not giving up and wants to compete with someone. If it weren't for Liu Qi's book, Yuan wouldn't have known that Benchu ​​was actually making such a small thought."

After reading the letters sent by Liu Qi, Yuan Shu immediately summoned all the officials under his command to discuss major events.

The clerk of the press conference, Yang Hong, asked Yuan Shu for advice: "Later General, what do you say in Liu Qi's letter?"

Yuan Shu sneered: "Yuan Benchu ​​failed to support Liu Yu, and was accused by his clan of being rebellious. He was quite disappointed. Seeing that I was in power, he was not willing to do so. He wanted to send Cao Aman to meet and talk in detail... However, Liu Lang took the initiative to write a letter to tell me about this matter, which was quite kind."

"Cao Cao?" Yan Xiang said with some insight: "As General Dai Fenwu, this man is in charge of supervising the major affairs of the coalition forces, he has to give up many professional tasks and go to see Liu Qi in person. It seems that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to this matter."

Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "The eunuch Lang was my son Yuan when he was young. Every time Benchu ​​had an accident, he would fight to come forward and take out a foreshadowing for Benchu. Now Benchu ​​uses him, but it is not surprising... Unfortunately, hum! They never expected that the Liu family in Jingzhou had already formed a friendship with Yuan."

Seeing that Yuan Shu was quite content, Yan Xiang immediately advised: "The latter general should not be careless. The clan alliance was based on protecting the king, but was neutral. In the previous period, he had a good relationship with the general because he borrowed a way. This time it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be biased towards Yuan Shao, and he still needed to be cautious."

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Didn't Master Yan always hope Yuan and Yuan Shao are kind?"

Yan Xiang thought to himself, if you, the Yuan brothers, are you, who is your relative, Dong Zhuo, the governor,... who can be your opponent?

But if I have a kindness, you just don’t listen. What can I do?

He shook his head and sighed: "The general now discusses King Chen as the crown prince. The relationship with Yuan Shao may be difficult to reconcile. How can we be kind to each other? At present, it is still necessary to win over clan relatives. Don't let the people of Jingzhou be dragged away by Yuan Shao."

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, before saying, "Your words are very good. Liu Lang may be suspected of adapting to the times. In addition, Cao Aman is a good person who is good at plotting and deceitful. If he really lets Cao win over his clan relatives, it wouldn't be good... Do you have a clever plan to enlist him?"

Yan Xiang said: "Sun Wentai is in Yangren County, only a few dozen miles away from the clan coalition forces. Yuan Gong can place a letter and ask Liu Qi to move his troops to Yangren County. He secretly asked Sun Wentai to take care of him carefully and do not let Liu Qi and Cao Cao go too far. This will defeat Yuan Shao's plan."

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The chief clerk is very kind to say! With Sun Wentai here, I would like to thank Cao Aman for how clever Cao is, he will definitely not cause any storm."
