Chapter 235: Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother (Added for Alliance Book Friend 2023072213103)

Huangfu Jianchang listened to Cheng Yu's words and quickly thought about the situation in the southern states in his mind.

There were actually three main forces to resist Yuan Shu: the southernmost one was the aristocratic families in Jiaozhi, which basically blocked Yuan Shu to the east of Nanhai County. The northernmost one was the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, led by Sun Jian. This force mainly focused on attacking and put great pressure on Han Fu and others in Wu County and other places.

The third group is the aristocratic families of Jingzhou. Liu Biao is the governor of Jingzhou, and behind him are the great aristocratic families of Cai, Wu and others. They mainly resisted and rarely attacked.

Others, such as Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and others, "sat for opportunities and took action". Although they attacked, their influence was very limited.

Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, has been watching from the sidelines and developing quietly. Now no one can tell exactly how many soldiers, money and food Dong Zhuo has.

"Is it really true that we can't delay any longer?" Huangfu Jian frowned and whispered to himself.

The imperial court has basically pacified Yan, Ji, and Qing states. The biggest rebellion in the north is the insignificant Black Mountain Army. After the battle in Jizhou last year, the threat has been reduced to a minimum.

The imperial court is now vigorously promoting the "New Deal" in an attempt to restore people's livelihood and enhance national strength.

Therefore, stability is extremely precious to the imperial court. Even an extra half year of peace will bring infinite benefits.

Cheng Yu didn't know that Huangfu Jianchang was hiding these things, so he said, "Second Master, why not write a letter to Yuan Shu as well."

At this moment, Captain Huangfu Jian led his men out of Kaiyang and headed straight for Jiujiang County in a hurry.

"Colonel Captain!"

Before he finished speaking, Zang Ba strode away, apparently heading out of the city.

Still can't utter a word.

Zhang Chao turned around, went down the city wall, mounted his horse, and rode south without stopping.

"How do we make them fight each other?" Huangfu Jianchang asked excitedly.

As a ranger, Shi A cares more about the "faith and loyalty" in his heart, and does not take his country seriously. He can look at many things calmly and objectively.

A woman cried, "The master woke up and wanted to drink some porridge, but he vomited after drinking a little, and kept vomiting..."

Guan Yu did not look at him and said, "You can go back if you want. I was transferred here by the order of His Majesty. Without the order, I cannot return to Hanzhong."

Zhang Chao also turned around to look, and seeing that there was no one else, he said frankly: "Someone sent me a message saying that Envoy Tao wanted to borrow troops from me. I only have so few troops, and Donghai borders Xiapi. Fifteen thousand people may not be able to defend it. Therefore, I can only take the initiative and not give Envoy Tao a chance to speak."

Zhao Yu was in a heavy mood and said, "We only have a few thousand people and no money or food. How can we fight? Let's hold a funeral for the envoy."

It was the first time that Shi A saw him so nervous, and he quickly said, "Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo have a feud that wants to exterminate their clans, so they will not form an alliance."

Huangfu Jian opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth in astonishment, and couldn't utter a word.

Cheng Yu was very calm, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "Zhang He... is really not simple. He was clearly driven out of Jiujiang, but he was able to set an ambush and besiege Yuan Shao in Shouchun. Second Master, the key now is Liu Biao of Jingzhou."

The army moved slowly. In the cold winter, there were crowds of people and fluttering flags.

Huangfu Jian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Soon, his eyes flashed with a sharp light and he said, "Sir, you are right. I can take this opportunity to see some people clearly! Old Shi, take out the blank and sealed letters my father gave me. I want to write to Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao!"

If the other half of Xuzhou falls into Lu Bu's hands, Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, who originally relied on Xuzhou, will be isolated and helpless, or even surrounded!

Sitting behind him was a sturdy, round-faced, thickly bearded man who said in a rough voice, "Second brother, I miss my eldest brother. When are we going to see him?"

Huangfu Jianchang didn't expect this to happen and looked at Cheng Yu.

Seeing Huangfu Jian was about to go down the tower, Cheng Yu chased after him and said, "Second Master, we can't help much if we go to Jiujiang, and it's very dangerous there. It would be more useful for us to go to Xiang County and keep an eye on Dong Zhuo."

Huangfu Jian grabbed the letter, glanced at it, looked at Cheng Yu with a serious expression, and asked, "What should we do?"

"Zhang Taishou,"

Zhao Yu strode back to Tao Qian's ward, but suddenly stopped, turned to look in the direction where Zang Ba left, his expression changed in shock.

It is a question, but it sounds like a statement.

The clerk responded and turned around and left quickly.

Turning around, Zhao Yu prepared to discuss the funeral with some people from the Tao family.

"Governor, Governor, the envoy is dying!" a soldier ran over shouting.

Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chao's back, his expression gradually becoming obscure, and he said as if talking to himself: "Guangling County has fallen into Lu Bu's hands, Sun Jian in Wu County will be attacked from all sides, and Yuan Shao in Jiujiang County will also have a hard time. Perhaps, the court does not have to retreat, Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo will soon really confront each other."

Zhang Chao naturally understood and said with a serious face: "This humble official swears to defend the East China Sea until his death!"

When he arrived, all the officials of Kaiyang County, both big and small, gathered around Tao Qian's bed.

Huangfu Jianchang took the blank envelope from Shi A's hand, handed it to Cheng Yu and said urgently, "Sir, start writing."

Huangfu Jianchang said: "Well, you go first, the appointment will arrive soon."

Zang Ba was originally a bandit and was recruited by Tao Qian. Now that Tao Qian is dead, who can control him?

Zhao Yu was at a loss and had no idea what to do.

Huangfu Jian glanced at him, still feeling uneasy, and said, "No, I have to write a letter to my father. I must stop Lü Bu from joining Dong Zhuo, protect Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, and hold Yuan Shu back. The court needs time..."

Huangfu Jian stopped walking abruptly, his eyes wide open, he turned to stare at Cheng Yu, and said, "Sir, are you saying that Yuan Shao did it on purpose, and that the two brothers are plotting a rebellion together?"

Therefore, he fully agreed with Cheng Yu's statement and believed it was a good way to resolve the current crisis!

"Owner!"

Tao Qian could no longer open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Zhao Yu was anxious and asked, "He was fine before, why did he suddenly become like this?"

He didn't know that in the seemingly peaceful and problem-free Langya County, Tao Qian suddenly died of illness, and the contradictions beneath the surface emerged and the crisis was threatening.

Zhang Fei suddenly became anxious, and rode forward to stand side by side with Guan Yu. His eyes were like bells, and his voice was even louder. He said, "Didn't you write a letter to my brother? As long as he transfers us back, will Yuan Shao dare to keep us here?"

Huangfu Jianchang walked quickly and said, "Sir, you don't understand. Last year, when I was dining with His Majesty in the palace, His Majesty inadvertently said that Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao are the first line of defense. This line of defense cannot be lost for at least three years. This is only the second year, and we must hold on for another year!"

Seeing that Huangfu Jianchang was extremely anxious, Cheng Yu suddenly asked, "Second Master, have you ever thought that Yuan Shao's reckless advance was really unintentional? He and Yuan Shu are brothers!"

Huangfu Jianchang was still pacing back and forth, thinking over and over again, shaking his head and saying, "No one can be sure. This possibility cannot happen! Sun Jian, Yuan Shao...if anything happens to them, Liu Biao will be unable to support the country alone, and the entire south will fall into the hands of the rebels. No, no, absolutely not..."

Zhao Yu retreated silently with a sad face.

Cheng Yu listened but did not stop him.

Huangfu Jian was filled with doubts and confusion, but he admired Cheng Yu very much.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and said, "I don't care what the decree is! Anyway, as long as Big Brother writes, we will all go back to Hanzhong to avoid being bullied here!"

Zhao Yu did not stop him. In his opinion, Zang Ba was just angry for the moment. A few thousand people went to fight tens of thousands of people. As long as he was not crazy, he would not do such a thing.

Zang Ba said in a hateful voice: "Your Majesty is not in good health, but it shouldn't happen so soon. It's all because of Lu Bu, who has repeatedly tried to harm you! I want to raise an army to attack you, what do you think?"

Zhao Yu was most disdainful and even disgusted with businessmen. He frowned and said, "What are they doing here? What kind of business do they want to do? Humph! Tell them, forget it and leave immediately!"

Huangfu Jian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Leaving overnight? Why?"

Cheng Yu knew clearly that in troubled times, with soldiers in hand, you have everything. Tao Qian wanted to borrow soldiers, Zhang Chao didn't want to, they were essentially the same.

Zang Ba had a stern face and his eyes seemed filled with both anger and sadness.

Cheng Yu listened to Huangfu Jianchang's words, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "It's not that there is no chance. As long as Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu are allowed to fight each other, the court may have at least two years to survive."

Suddenly, a guard from the Imperial City Palace came running up and said nervously, "An urgent report from Shouchun says that Yuan Shao underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. He was surrounded by Zhang He in Shouchun. The situation is very critical."

"Governor, the Mi family has sent someone." A clerk came to Zhao Yu and whispered.

Huangfu Jianchang thought anxiously as he walked, and said, "It's not completely impossible. I can mobilize Gongsun Zan. If we speed up, we may be able to catch up with Guan Yu."

He figured it out!

Zang Ba was not going to avenge Tao Qian, but to recruit soldiers in the name of revenge!

"He's not planning on attacking Langya County, is he?" Zhao Yu's eyes showed a trace of panic, and he felt uneasy.

Zhang Chao was relieved to see that Huangfu Jianzhang and the others were not playing tricks. He clasped his fists again and said, "Take care!"

Huangfu Jian shook his head and said, "Yuan Shao and Sun Jian must not be harmed. Let's go to Jiujiang County now!"

Tao Qian raised his eyelids with great effort, his eyes were dull and lifeless.

In the past, he would definitely not have seen so much and would have rushed through it recklessly!

There was constant crying and shouting in the ward.

In his opinion, the court would be able to make a judgment after receiving the news, so there was no need for them to worry about making plans.

Suddenly, the woman burst into tears, went forward and hugged Tao Qian, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Huangfu Jian was startled for a moment and asked, "What to write?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "This is not the Second Young Master's fault. Sun Jian is short-sighted and has repeatedly made things difficult for Ding Shijun. If he was willing to help Ding Shijun, how could the situation have turned out like this?"

Guan Yu frowned and said, "I don't know either."

Cheng Yu was completely confused and said, "Second Master, what will happen if we go to Jiujiang? We don't have any troops to deploy there."

Cheng Yu hesitated, but seeing that there was no one else around, he said, "The court should withdraw from Yuzhou and half of Xuzhou."

He quickly looked around and saw no one. He breathed a sigh of relief and blinked continuously, saying, "Sir, if your words were to get out, the saliva of the government and the public would drown you."

Sitting on a tall horse, Guan Yu stroked his long beard, with an indifferent expression, and marched leisurely.

Huangfu Jian listened to Cheng Yu for a long time. He hadn't reacted yet, but suddenly he screamed and slapped his forehead repeatedly, saying: "How confused, how confused..."

Huangfu Jianchang glanced back, ignored him, and said, "Go, go!"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "Isn't he begging for surrender? Second Master, discuss the terms with him, and then the letter from both sides will be leaked accidentally."

Seeing Huangfu Jian's big reaction, Cheng Yu knew that what he said was serious, and said: "Second Master, this is the worst case scenario I have judged. Sun Jian has a deep foundation in Wujun and it is not so easy to defeat him. Yuan Shao has Runan as his back and Gongsun Zan behind him, so he will not be defeated so quickly. There is no need to worry..."

Zang Ba walked forward and stared at Tao Qian in silence for a long time. He turned his head, looked at Zhao Yu, left the room and came to the yard.

Zhang Chao naturally did not doubt what Huangfu Jianchang said, and immediately said, "Thank you, Second Master. I plan to send troops overnight."

Shi A looked at Cheng Yu with great interest and admiration in his eyes.

Zhao Yu stepped forward, knelt down beside Tao Qian's bed, put his ear close to Tao Qian's mouth, and whispered, "Envoy, what do you want to say?"

Cheng Yu saw Zhao Yu approaching from a distance and said, "Write after we leave the city."

Huangfu Jian nodded heavily and said, "Take care, Governor Zhang!"

At the same time, Guan Yu led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of Jiujiang County and entered Xuzhou Xia Pi, just passing Huailing.

Zhao Yu looked helpless and sighed, "What a waste of a banquet."

Huangfu Jian paced back and forth, looking anxious, even with a trace of cold sweat on his face, and said: "It's too late to say this, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao can't be in trouble, otherwise the whole south will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo. If these tigers and wolves join forces, the court will be in big trouble..."

Zang Ba sneered and said, "You can take care of the funeral, but I want Lu Bu's head!"

Cheng Yu raised his hand towards Zhang Chao and said, "Donghai County is a strategic location that prevents Lü Bu from advancing northwards. It is adjacent to Pei County and is a strategic location. Governor Zhang has a heavy responsibility!"

Cheng Yu was about to say something else when he saw Zhang Chao hurriedly coming up, raising his hand and saying, "Second Master, I have almost finished organizing everything. You can go to Donghai County anytime."

Zhao Yu's face changed suddenly. He turned around abruptly, pulled a horse and ran straight to the government office.

When Zhao Yu arrived, he could only see the backs of Huangfu Jian and his men riding their horses at full speed.

Cheng Yu said solemnly: "Second Master, this possibility cannot be ruled out! I think that the most urgent task now is not to rescue Yuan Shao, but to stand aside and watch some people and things clearly!"

Guan Yu held the reins with one hand and stroked his beard with the other. Hearing this, he suddenly paused and turned to Zhang Fei, saying, "Perhaps, there is a chance."

"What opportunity?" Zhang Fei asked anxiously.

Guan Yu said: "That second young master has great connections, maybe he can help us get back to our eldest brother."
