In Da Sima Mansion, lights were on and sandalwood was burning in the lobby.
Guo Jia was walking and fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan and a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
Next to him, Jia Xu, Li Ru and Xun You were sitting on their knees behind the desk, chatting and laughing.
A clerk walked in quickly and whispered something in Guo Jia's ear.
Guo Jia waved after hearing this, and the clerk stepped back.
Li Ru put down his wine cup and asked, "Brother Fengxiao, what news do you have?"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "At this time, Tang Mao and his gang are gathering together, probably discussing how to act."
Li Ru sighed: "I don't know what my lord is thinking.
We have to wait for them to take action before we can take action.
If possible, send a team of people over at this time to ensure that they are all captured and no one can escape."
Xun You said with some sadness: "As for this group of people, every move has been clearly detected by us.
If they still want to do something, if they can succeed, it would be unforgivable."
At this time, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Actually, Mr.
Jia thinks this is quite good.
If the imperial court has been a pool of stagnant water, over time, it will gradually lose its vitality under a subtle influence.
Can these people jump out and make fun of it?"
Relieve boredom" Li Ru laughed and said: "Jia Wenhe, Jia Wenhe, they are in the business of removing heads, and you actually treat them as clowns who make fun of others.
You are really unworthy of a human being."
The others laughed too.
After laughing, Guo Jia said: "Okay, it's getting late.
It doesn't matter if we are all here.
Let's take turns to be on duty.
Today is mine.
You all go back and rest.
If anything happens, I will send someone to tell you.
But, this matter Do you want to tell Xun Lingjun?"
Everyone looked at Xun You, he was Xun Yu's nephew.
Xun You thought for a while and said, "My uncle is an upright man.
Some of Tang Mao's gang have very good relations with him.
If I tell him about this matter, he will not watch them step by step towards the abyss because of his temperament."
They will come out to stop them.
In this way, Tang Mao and his gang will know that their plan has been exposed.
If they retreat, they will be in trouble if they don't show their faces."
Several people looked at each other and nodded to express whatever Xun You had in mind.
Yi Jingcheng.
This newly built building is located on the bank of Yishui.
It is very strong and tall, and has sufficient defensive power, which makes Gongsun Zan feel very at ease.
The life of ease and comfort was very pleasant.
In this castle, he kept several beauties, all of whom were as beautiful as flowers and knew how to serve others.
With these beauties around, his fighting spirit and bravery were gradually wearing away.
"Come on, come on, Xiaoxue will dance again, and Xiaowei will play another song."
Being served by the two beauties, Gongsun Zan shouted to the two beauties while drinking the wine the beauties brought to his lips and eating mutton.
My younger brother Gongsun Xu came in wearing heavy armor and shouted to several singers: "Let's go, let's go!"
Several women were driven out of the lobby screaming.
Gongsun Zan said displeasedly: "Second brother, what are you doing?

Brother Shen is eating some wine and playing with a few women, and you have to take care of it."
Gongsun Xu clasped his fists and shouted: "Brother, the imperial court has gathered heavy troops in Yanmen and Changshan and hoarded a large amount of grain and grass.
You still have the heart to eat wine and play with women here?"
"What?"
Gongsun Zan couldn't sit still.
He immediately stood up and shouted, "Quickly tell me, how many men and horses do they have?"
"The exact number of soldiers and horses is not clear yet, but I have sent people to find out.
News will come soon.
Whether the court is targeting Yuan Shao or us, we can't just wait for the news.
We must mobilize soldiers and horses.
Prepare for war.
Once the imperial court sends troops to attack Youzhou, it will be too late."
Gongsun Zan thought for a while and immediately shouted outside: "Come here, call Liu Weitai, hurry up!"
"Yes, General" This Liu Weitai is a diviner.
As for how capable he is, I am afraid only he knows it.
However, Gongsun Zan believes in his talent very much and even swore sworn brothers to him.
At the same time, he also swore sworn brothers.
Li Yizi, a man of Zeng, is a merchant.
For Gongsun Zan to achieve what he has today, these three sworn brothers contributed a lot.
Liu Weitai was his military advisor and gave him advice; Li Yizi and Le Hedang were both wealthy businessmen, and they were among the richest people in Youzhou.
In the world, the two of them provided Gongsun Zan with financial resources.
After Gongsun Zan became powerful, he provided them with all the conveniences of doing business, allowing them to earn more.
Soon, Liu Weitai rushed over, bowed his hands and said: "Little brother pays homage to eldest brother, and pays homage to the second general."
Gongsun Zan immediately stepped forward and took Liu Weitai's hand and said, "Weitai, do you know that the imperial court has assembled heavy troops in the Changshan and Yanmen areas, and it seems that they are going to attack Youzhou?"
Liu Weitai was shocked and didn't believe it: "No way, I Youzhou is not a threat to the imperial court now, and I have never shown any hostility to the imperial court.
The imperial court has no reason to send troops to attack my Youzhou.
Brother, wait a moment, wait for me to make a divination. look" "Okay, hurry up and see what's going on," Gongsun Zan said quickly.
Liu Weitai asked someone to take a chessboard and put it on the table.
He took out a few coins from his sleeves, put them in tortoise shells and shook them constantly.
After a dozen times, he opened the tortoise shells and five coins fell on the chessboard with a few clangs.
Soon it will stop moving.
Liu Weitai looked at the position and shape of the coins on Qipan Mountain, then stretched out his fingers to count, and the more he counted, the deeper his frown deepened.
"Weitai, how are you?"
Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Weitai worriedly and asked.
Liu Weitai shook his head, "The hexagram shows that the court is not coming for us, but it doesn't look like it is coming for Yuan Shao.
It's really strange.
Could it be that Liu Cheng wanted to fight Karasuma and Karasuma didn't provoke him?"
Gongsun Xu said at this time: "This is not certain.
We have received news earlier that the Xianbei people in Mobei were defeated by Liu Cheng.
We heard that the imperial army had fought all the way to Beihai.
Even the Dingling people sent their princes to request Attachment and canonization.
Now that the entire Mobei is under Liu Cheng's control, it is not impossible for him to deal with the Karasuma people."
Gongsun Zan looked worried, "It's really possible according to what you said.
Liu Cheng has controlled Mobei, and he must have a large number of cavalry and war horses, but he can't attack Wuwan without reason.
Wuwan has not offended his Weitai, you What’s the idea?”

Liu Weitai cupped his hands and said: "Brother, if the imperial court is going for Wuwan, and I think this matter is beneficial to us in Youzhou, Yuan Shao has been uniting with Wuwan to deal with us in Youzhou.
If the imperial court attacks Wuwan, Wuwan will not have time to deal with us.
No matter how long this battle lasts, even if Karasuma’s clan is exterminated by the imperial court, the benefits to us will be even greater.”
Gongsun Zan was still worried and said: "What if the imperial court destroys Wuwan and then turns south to attack Youzhou?"
"Brother, if the imperial court sends troops from Mobei, you can calculate how long their food road is and how much food and grass they will consume on the way.
Liu Cheng will not do this.
He can calculate this account.
Even if the imperial court wants to deal with us in Youzhou, he will not do it.
We have to kill Yuan Shao first."
Gongsun Zan breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved when I hear you say that."
Gongsun Xu looked unhappy and said: "Brother, I always feel that this divination is not reliable.
If the imperial army really invades our Youzhou and our army is unprepared, we will all die without a burial place."
Liu Weitai was not angry and said to Gongsun Zan: "Brother, the second general's concerns are not unreasonable.
Why don't the second general be responsible for supervising the counties and cities to strengthen defense and increase the defense equipment?"
Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Xu and agreed: "Okay, second brother, go and urge the cities to strengthen their defenses and ask them to be more vigilant so that the imperial court does not take advantage of them."
"yes" Nanpi.
Yuan Shao also got the news.
Changshan County is close to Yuan Shao's territory.
There are many agents sent by Yuan Shao in Changshan County who have been lurking for a long time to provide him with information about Zhao Yun.
"Everyone, what kind of medicine does Liu Cheng sell in his gourd?
Even if he wants to attack Jizhou, he doesn't station troops in Hanoi or Xingyang.
Instead, he gathers heavy troops in Changshan and Yanmen.
What do you think Liu Cheng wants to do?"
Xu You stood up and saluted: "My lord, my subordinates believe that Liu Cheng's intention is not to attack our Jizhou.
Judging from the deployment of troops, it is unlikely that he will attack our Jizhou.
However, my subordinates also doubt whether this is his suspected soldier." plan"
Yuan Shao immediately said: "Then send people to keep an eye on Hanoi, Luoyang and Xingyang.
If there are signs of troop movements, report them immediately."
"yes" Yuan Shao asked again: "Is there no news from Chang'an?"
"The distance is too far.
Even if there is news, it will not be received within a short period of time.
The spies will always have to find out the true intentions of the imperial court before reporting it."
Yuan Shao looked at the other counselors and asked: "Jushou, tell me your opinion."
Jushou touched his long beard, thought for a moment, stood up and said with cupped hands: "My lord, I think Liu Cheng's target should be outside the pass."
Yuan Shao was stunned by Jushou's words outside the pass, and also surprised other counselors and officials.
Yuan Shao asked: "Tell me, why do you think so?"
Jushou said: "My lord and everyone must know that Liu Cheng annihilated Mobei last year, and several major tribes in Tuoba Xianbei and Western Xianbei were eradicated.
He also stationed troops along the north coast and at the foot of the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.
According to the news, , the imperial court sent decent people to build cities at Jinwei Mountain, Yanran Mountain, the old place of Longcheng, and at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain.
It does not show that the imperial court no longer only fights but does not defend as before, but now the imperial court defends its subordinates after attacking.
Yesterday, I learned from a businessman from the north that there seems to be a large camp at the foot of Danhan Mountain.
It is huge.
I don’t know.
There are many soldiers and horses, but the merchants can see from a distance that the smoke is billowing from the cavalry drills in the camp and the sound of war drums is endless."
Chen Lin frowned and said: "What does Liu Cheng mean?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He couldn't solve the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty, but he frequently sent troops to attack foreign nations."
Tian Feng sighed: "Why do you mean Chen Zhubo?
They don't take us people seriously at all.
We fight to the death with Gongsun Zan; we fight with Cao Meng Dexu and scheming; and we look down on each other with Yuan Jiujiu.
These are probably among the Liu Cheng It seems to be the behavior of a clown.
The princes of Guandong are having fun playing in the mud, but Liu Cheng doesn't play with us at all.
Ever since he went to Mobei and returned in triumph with unparalleled achievements, who would dare to do it now?
Look down on him" Tian Feng sighed, walked to a map, pointed at it and said: "My lord, please see, Yizhou is under the control of the imperial court, and now Mobei has also fallen into Liu Cheng's pocket, Jingzhou Liu Biao And under the control of the imperial court, if Liu Cheng wiped out Liaodong, all the princes in the world would be held in the palm of his hand.
As long as he tightened his grip, the princes would be crushed to pieces
