Since the beginning of spring, the entire Han Dynasty has begun to make frequent mobilizations.

A large amount of supplies began to gather and transport them to Chen State and Taishan County, and of course Liangzhou... or it should be called Gansu Province. By arranging spies within the Han Dynasty, countries have clearly felt that the Han Dynasty had made great moves!

Because the action was too obvious, Yuan Shu had to propose talks to Zhang Chao, who obviously realized the arrival of the crisis, so the two met for the first time in Guangling County.

"As expected..." Yuan Shu picked up the tea cup. Drinking tea has become a habit in his leisure time recently. Jiujiang and Lujiang have also begun to plant tea on a small scale and look for new tea varieties. "There will be a big battle after autumn, and the decisive battle between the Han and you and us... Judging from the current situation, if you are right in one aspect, you will not be able to defeat it."

"So you need alliances, right?" Zhang Chao nodded, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

Because Liu Tao praised the desire for mouth, the pastries and drinks on the big man were actually constantly being updated. Many businessmen saw business opportunities, so they opened shops everywhere and asked pastry chefs to cook the things for sale.

Naturally, Zhang Chao has also recently become obsessed with a wide range of pastries. He even felt that this was the only correct move that Liu Tao had made after he ascended the throne and became emperor...

"It's useless to the alliance. Sun Jian has swept across Jiangdong. In name, he is still under the command of Nan Han, but in fact he is only one step away from ascending the throne. He has not ascended the throne so far, but he is nothing more than leaving a way out for himself." Yuan Shu looked at Nanfang and said with contempt.

"It may also be that he just conquered Jiangdong and has no time to become emperor." Zhang Chao replied.

"No matter what, with him in Jiangdong, if we go north to fight with all our might, our backs will inevitably be empty. As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. This time, he must be pulled over and take action together! The best thing is, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are included!" Yuan Shu replied.

"Liu Zhang?" Zhang Chao's news was obviously a bit lagging behind.

"At the beginning of the year, Liu Yan seemed to have died of a back sore, and the successor was Liu Zhang. However, Liu Zhang's rise to power also had some problems. Several of his brothers suddenly died of illness." Yuan Shu said casually.

Since Liu Yan did not just take Liu Zhang to Bashu like in history, he did not kill Liu Fan and the eldest son Liu Dan by Li Jie, and went there with his father.

Not to mention the death of the third son Liu Mao two years ago, it is very problematic that Liu Fan and Liu Dan died suddenly.

Liu Zhang's succession was mainly due to Pang Xi's recommendation. He could control an elite unit of tens of thousands of people, "Dongzhou Army", all of which were refugees who fled in the Kanto region.

At the same time, most of the aristocratic families in Bashu also supported Liu Zhang, so Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, which was a foregone conclusion.

"It's also a ruthless person." Zhang Chao knew the elegant meaning when he heard the novel, and he was a little disgusted with Liu Zhang's behavior.

"Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been cruel. It is better for the strong to inherit the throne than the cowardly people who inherit the throne." Yuan Shu replied casually, "And if such people have enough ambitions, they can use them."

Liu Yan, a generation like Liu Yan, may still have nostalgia for the Han Dynasty. Does Liu Zhang's generation have no ambition to be an emperor?

Yuan Shu felt that he could make good use of it. If he asked them to send troops in Hanzhong and intimidate the Han army in Liangzhou and Sili, and let them leave easily, it would be a good result.

Having said that, Liu Tao divided Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Sizhou into four "provinces", which made people very uncomfortable.

"When the princes attacked Dong, they now want to jointly attack Liu Tao? The Han Dynasty is the first thing that Liu Yan and Liu Zhang cannot participate, right?" Zhang Chao said jokingly.

"They are also Han, and they are only fighting against pseudo-Han. If they don't attack, their own power will disappear with [Biquge www.biquge.co]. I believe that once people have enjoyed the taste of power, they will not want to give up." Yuan Shu said with a smile.

"Contact them first!" Zhang Chao obviously agreed with this statement, "But you and our countries must also prepare for war. There is only less than half a year left for us."

"Of course..." Yuan Shu raised his teacup and looked at Zhang Chao, "Before the successful confrontation, our countries should be allies, right?"

"Yes, I agree with this!" Zhang Chao also raised the teacup, and after touching the two of them gently, they drank it all in one go.

The very hasty alliance was signed like this. The binding force was ultimately determined by the size of the interests. However, when facing the huge Han Dynasty, unless the oppression was lifted in one day, the two of them were afraid that they would not be able to turn against each other.

Even if you turn against the water, where can you escape in the end? Everyone knows in their hearts that if you don’t destroy the great man, you will only be destroyed by the great man. Of course, there is another last way, that is, you have been to give way.

The biggest problem is that Liu Tao has not sent them a letter of nationality to this day, saying that surrender can at least retain their throne.

In fact, from Liu Tao's perspective, Liu Biao and Liu Yan, or Liu Zhang, still have the value of surrendering. As everyone is a relative of the Han Dynasty, there is still room for ease.

However, Yuan Shu, Zhang Chao and Sun Jian basically have no room for ease. Those who know the current affairs can surrender at least some things, such as life. Since they are stubborn, no one can blame them.

The one who really gained Liu Tao's favor was Shi Xie from Jiaozhou. He had already become the king of Jiaozhou in name and has not publicly promoted himself to the emperor so far, which made him very impressed.

And even if the journey is long, people will send some gifts every year, which are specialties from Jiaozhou.

He didn't say that he would be effective, but at least he had good intentions. Liu Tao felt that if he went south to Jiaozhou after attacking Sun Jian and was willing to surrender, he might be able to accept his surrender directly.

The premise is that his sons had no idea. After all, Shi Hui still rebelled when he surrendered to Sun Wu. Shi Xie finally exchanged him for the best situation, but in the end he was ruined like this.

Yuan Shu and Zhang Chao reached an alliance, and at the same time they also sent letters of nationality to several other forces, agreeing to deal with the Han Dynasty together.

At the same time, the great man who received the news also formally sent a letter to Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, informing him that if he was willing to surrender to the country, he could retain the throne and re-elect the title of another place.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Liu Pan, the prefect of Nanyang, received the summons from Liu Biao, so he hurried to Xiangyang.

"Yuan Shu and Liu Tao sent a letter of nationality at the same time..." Liu Biao looked at Liu Pan in embarrassment.

Reasonably, he was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, but the problem was that the gentry below did not agree. The Han Dynasty was too harsh on the gentry, and most of the people who passed the imperial examinations and passed the imperial examinations were ordinary people who had received training, or some ordinary gentry and local tyrants.

The proportion of gentry officials is not high, and most of them are those who originally defected to Liu Tao.

Liu Biao then looked at Liu Pan and said solemnly: "It is related to the future of our lineage... My uncle must make a decision!"
