Although the plan was decided, on the surface, things in Luoyang were still going on in an orderly manner. In October, after the busy farming ended, Ye Zhao ordered Guan Yu to lead an army of 50,000 to station troops in Xinye. Such a move immediately attracted the attention of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

Since he met the two prefectures of Jizhou and Youzhou, Ye Zhao was in power in the six prefectures of Yongliang and Jizhou and Shuyou. Whether it was the area or the population under his jurisdiction, it was the highest in the world. In terms of military power, economy, industry, agriculture, and in any aspect, it was the highest in the princes. Ye Zhao's every move would arouse the vigilance of the princes. In the same month, Ye Zhao even arrived at Yique Pass in person. At the same time, on the north bank of the Yellow River, Ding Li and Fang Yue began to recruit a large number of craftsmen to strengthen the fortifications in various ports, as if they were strictly guarding the situation.

Liang State, Sui Yang.

Since Cao Cao was defeated and fled back to Xuchang, because Xuchang was too close to Luoyang and Nanyang, in order to prevent Ye Zhao from sending troops directly into Xuchang, Cao Cao immediately began to move the city after returning to Xuchang. The new capital he chose was Suiyang, which was the capital of Liang Kingdom in the past. When Ye Zhao became the commander of Suiyang, he reinforced and expanded Suiyang City. Although the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out soon, the project was not completed, after Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains, he regarded the terrain of Suiyang and the foundation left by Ye Zhao, and used it as a capital.

Before Yingfeng Emperor, Cao Cao used this as his capital for a while. Later, Yingfeng Emperor, in order to facilitate governance, he used Xuchang as his capital. Now Ye Zhao has entered Luoyang, Nanyang, and Runan are also controlled by Ye Zhao. Facing Ye Zhao's military attack, Cao Cao was defeated and had to choose to move the capital to avoid Ye Zhao's edge.

"Lord, it seems that the Ye thief wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou and take advantage of the situation to capture the land of Jingxiang. I think we should join forces with Sun Ce to take back Luoyang while Ye Zhao attacked Jingxiang and cut off his way back!" Cheng Yu bowed to Cao Cao after hearing the information coming from Xin.

"Otherwise!" Zhong Yao shook his head and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, I think things may not be so simple."

"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his eyelids and looked at Zhong Yao and said, "What do Yuan Chang thinks?"

"If Ye Zhao really wants to attack Jingzhou, he shouldn't have sent Guan Yu as a general!" Zhong Yao looked at Cao Cao and talked eruditely: "It is reported that Guan Yu and Liu Bei have a friendship, and Guan Yu is a man who values ​​righteousness. If Ye Zhao really wants to attack Jingzhou, he would not regard Guan Yu as a general. According to the information, the other generals under Ye Zhao's command, such as Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Ji Ling, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and even Guan Ping, have never gone to war. I think this is Ye Zhao's trick. In order to attack Jingzhou, he actually secretly accumulates strength to lure our army to send troops and plan the Central Plains!"

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Ye Thief is as cunning as a fox. Yuanchang Public Security Bureau knew whether Ye Thief calculated what we thought. He deliberately did this. It is necessary to know that if Ye Zhao wanted to attack Jingzhou, it was not only Nanyang. From Shangyong and Yiling, they could send troops. Three troops and horses were all out, so it was easy to take Jingzhou."

Zhong Yao thought for a while and said, "What Zhongde said is not without reason. However, our army was newly defeated. If we rashly send troops and fall into Ye Zhao's treacherous plan, and defeated again, the country will be in danger!"

This is also the thing Cao Cao is most worried about now. He just experienced a big defeat. If he loses again at this moment, it will almost be a disaster for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao rubbed his temples with a headache. He also tended to Guan Yu's plan to lure the enemy out of Nanyang, but Cheng Yu said that was right. If Ye Zhao saw through his ideas and really wanted to use troops to Jingzhou? If Ye Zhao annexed Jingzhou, Ye Zhao's land would be connected, and it would be even more difficult to defeat Ye Zhao.

At this time, Cao Cao... was confused. He didn't know how to make a decision, so he could only look at Xun Yu.

After thinking silently for a while, Xun Yu bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, no matter what Ye Zhao wants, one thing is certain. Ye Zhao ordered Guan Yu to enter Nanyang this time, and there must be a big move. You can gather troops and watch the changes first. If Ye Zhao really attacks Jingzhou, our army can form an alliance with Sun Ce. If Ye Zhao uses this as bait to lure our army to send troops, it will not only lure our army, but also induce Sun Ce. You can ask Sun Ce to send troops first. If Ye Zhao can lead to the backhand, no matter whether it is Jingzhou, Qingzhou, or send troops from Chenliu, our army will have enough time to respond."

Responding to changes with constant changes is also the most suitable solution for Cao Cao now, because Cao Cao's territory has been reduced to a point where even a state is incomplete. Although Yingchuan was robbed by Lu Bu and Ye Zheng, he is now out of control by Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao's army, because the place is reduced, can rush to all directions at any time. The former northern overlord has the opportunity to win the world, but now it has fallen to such a state. It is also a great sadness.

Cao Cao nodded silently and said a little lonely: "I will follow Wen's plan!"

...

Qingzhou, Linzi.

"Gongjin, this is a good opportunity given by God. Why did I ask me to hold my troops still?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in confusion.

"It's not that simple." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Bo Fu, think about it. If Ye Zhao really wanted to annex the land of Jingzhou, how could he not beware of the emptiness behind him?"

"Ye Zhao is no longer arrogant. This is the time to decide the general trend of the world. This person has always been cunning and cautious. How could he really fight on three sides? I think it is fake to annex Jingxiang, and it is real to lure our army to send troops!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"But what if he thinks we think so?" Sun Ce asked back.

"Then let's wait and see if our army is now allied with Cao Cao. With the current situation, Cao Cao cannot attack us. Our army can station troops in Jinan and wait and see if Ye Zhao really wants to attack Jingzhou, our army can cross the river at any time. Now it is important to appease the people as soon as possible, recruit strong men to join our army, and speed up training. With our army's current strength, it is not enough to compete with Ye Zhao for power!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"Since Gongjin's words," Sun Ce nodded silently. Indeed, although he has won the Qingxu two provinces, his time is still short. Although he has recruited many surrendered troops, he is still a lot short of time to face a giant like Ye Zhao.

...

Nanyang, Wolonggang.

"Where has your husband been going again?" Zhang Fei looked at the boy in front of him with a irritable urgency, only to think that this boy is quite hateful.

"My husband is traveling around the world. I'm really not here. General Liu should come back next time!" The boy glared at Zhang Fei with some dissatisfaction.

"If your husband comes back, please send someone to inform me that I will keep someone here!" Liu Bei sighed and looked at a personal guard beside him and said, "Liu Quan, you will stay here."

"My husband's thatched cottage is a quiet place and does not welcome outsiders." The boy said aloud.

"It's okay, it won't disturb the quietness of the cottage." Liu Bei looked at Liu Quan and said, "You can find a family here and buy a house. If Mr. Kong Ming comes back, come and inform you immediately."

"Here!"

Liu Quan was Liu Bei's personal guard, and he was also a fellow villager and a tribe of Liu Bei. He had some force. When Liu Bei was appointed as the prefect of the county, he came to like each other and was appointed as the commander of the personal guard by Liu Bei. Although his status was not high, he was the most trusted person around Liu Bei. His trust level was probably not inferior to those of Zhang Fei and Chen Dao.

"Brother, I'm just sorry for Jur. Why be so polite? Without him, can we not fight?"

"Shut up!" Liu Bei shouted, hugged the boy, turned around and took Zhang Fei and Chen Dao away. Wolonggang is now in Ye Zhaozhi, and Liu Bei is not inconvenient to stay for a long time.

Looking at the direction where Liu Bei and others left, the boy looked at Liu Quan, turned around and returned to the cottage, closed the door, and went straight into the main hall, but saw two young men sitting cross-legged in the hall playing chess, and bowed and said, "Sir, General Liu has left."

"Yes." A young man nodded silently, sighed, and dropped a white piece.

"Kong Ming, General Liu is quite famous among the people and is a relative of the Han Dynasty. These five visits to the cottage are extremely sincere. Why don't you even want to meet one side?" The man opposite the young man was aged a few years older than the young man, and asked as he smiled and looked at the young man.

"Why didn't Yuan Zhi refuse to become an official?" Kong Ming did not answer, but asked back.

"The general situation has been decided, what's the point of not being able to go to office?" The young man sighed and looked outside the cottage and said, "General Liu is indeed a wise ruler, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. This world... I remember Kong Ming once wrote a book to study the situation in the world. There should be a solution to it, why..."

"I traveled to Shu last year!" Kong Ming sighed quietly, "The right time, place, and people are not with me. The government in Shu is clear and clear, and everyone is all towards Ye Zhao, so he has all his plans, but this person's heart is not with me. What if he does?"

Yuan Zhi sighed and broke his silence for a long time and said, "I heard that the Prime Minister has set a new method to recruit scholars. In the seventh year of Tai'an, the year after, the next year, all talented people can be hired. I will go to Luoyang to try it."

Kong Ming nodded silently and said, "With Yuanzhi's talent, he should be able to rise to the top. I wish Yuanzhi success."

"Don't Kong Ming go with me?" Yuan looked straight at Kong Ming and said, "Kong Ming is ten times more talented than me. Are you really willing to live in this mountain and country?"

"I have no intention of becoming an official." Kong Ming shook his head and said.

"I know Kong Ming is interested in General Liu, but Kong Ming also said that the right time, place, people and people are not harmonious, so why should I do this? I see that Ye Xiang is also a master of humanity, and Kong Ming's talent may not be able to show what he has learned."

"It is not a pleasure to always be with these green mountains and clear waters." Kong Ming smiled.

"Forget it!" Yuan straightened up and bowed to Kong Ming, "Study has been completed. This time I came here to say goodbye to Kong Ming. I want to travel around the world. If there is a day of goodbye, you and I will drink and talk again."

"I'm sorry to send it away." Kong Ming stood up, bowed to Yuan Zhi and said with a smile: "I hope you and me will have a day to meet again."

"Sure." Yuan Zhi nodded, patted the boy's head, and turned around and left outside the door.
