Of course, the main reason is that Cao Cao never expected that Lu Bu, who only had a few hundred cavalry, could be so good at fighting! On a plain battlefield with thousands of people against ten thousand, a few hundred elite cavalry could change the situation of the battle.

In an instant, Cao Cao almost had the idea of ​​dispatching Yue Jin from Yanzhou and Li Jin from Yingchuan to form an army of 30,000 to 50,000 to kill Lu Bu first.

Otherwise, he always felt that Liu Bei was going to cause something big. And this kind of insecurity was really uncomfortable.

However, when a letter from Liu Xuande arrived, Cao Mengde simply gave up the struggle. He was completely convinced!

It turned out that Liu Bei publicly sent letters to Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu, and Lu Bu, the governor of Nanyang. In the letter, he first stated that he was following the imperial edict to fight against thieves and intended to attack Yuan Shu, and had not invaded Jingzhou.

, meaning to seize the neighbor's territory...

Then, he formally issued an invitation, asking Tao Qian to send an envoy. The other three people and himself would go directly to Nanyang and his party nearby to discuss how to return Jiangxia to Jingzhou; how to deal with the management differences in Nanyang; and how to unify the sweep of the Yellow River.

, the so-called bandits and warlords in the five states between the Yangtze River restored stability to the people of the Central Plains; how to reorganize the roads and checkpoints in the five states so that merchants, scholars and people in the Central Plains can travel unimpeded; how to buy and sell grain at a fair price and transport medicines in years of famine and disaster to allow the Central Plains to

The people were protected from epidemics and famine; more importantly, how to eliminate the war and save the people of the Central Plains from the suffering of the previous nine years of homelessness and killing...

Of course, in the end we have to discuss how to deal with Yuan Shu, the traitor! Whether it should be a public trial, house arrest, or just beheading him and sending him to Chang'an.

Liu Xuande's letter concluded with this:

I still remember what my brother, General Wei, said in "An Advocate Against Dong Zhuo": "The public may occupy the Han position, or associate with relatives of the Zhou Dynasty, or he may repost it in the proclamation room, or he may be ordered by Gu to be sent to the proclamation room. The words are still in the ears, how can one be loyal and forget his heart?"

'Now that I have been ordered by the Han Dynasty to take care of one side, I have no intention of serving the country and bringing peace to the people. How can I be at war with one another?

If you are interested, to show your sincerity in chatting, on the day when you reply to Xiling, be prepared to immediately go to Xinye with ten horses and attend the meeting alone to show that you will not fail!

And if there are thieves who ignore the overall situation and go to war in the Central Plains for their own selfish interests, even if they are unable to prepare, they are still willing to follow my brother's mission of attacking Dong, and lead the soldiers and people of Yuzhou and the descendants of Huainan to march forward without mercy!

At the end of the letter, he signed Liu Bei, a common man from Zhuo County.

The book spread to all directions, and the Central Plains was shaken. Not to mention that Liu Biao, whose life was pinched by someone, set off immediately. Lu Bu, who was helpless on both sides, was at a loss. Even Tao Qian was persuaded by Chen, Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and others in the state.

Regardless of his old age and frailty, he boarded the train and went there in person. Yang Biao, the Guanglu doctor who stayed in Xuzhou, also followed suit.

Immediately, Yangzhou Zhu Ye asked his son Zhu Hao, the governor of Yuzhang, to cross the river and go to Nanyang in person.

After Sun Jian's death, the Central Plains Alliance, which was originally in danger, regained its strength and became even better because of Liu Bei's three years of inactivity.

"Abei is coming in!"

In December, in the middle of winter, Yecheng, north of the Yellow River, is gradually getting colder. Zhao Zhong’s old residence, now General Wei’s Mansion, has been lit. In the lobby of Dilong, Gongsun, wearing only single clothes, looked at the letter sent from the south bank of the Yellow River in his hand.

, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, showing no sign of being a villain. "What a good means!"

I have no conscious dividing line

"In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, the princes of the Central Plains gathered in Nanyang. Chen Deng, the captain of the Dian Nong School, sent his subordinate Chen Jiao to Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and said: 'When I was young, I was worth two thousand stones. There are many commentators in the Central Plains, and they gathered in Nanyang.

Hero, let's try to hear about it." When he returned to Xuzhou, he said to him: "The discussions in Nanyang are all based on the arrogance of the emperor and self-respect." Deng said: "My husband's boudoir, Yong Mu, is virtuous and well-behaved. I respect Chen Yuanfang and his son (Chen Yuanfang).

Ji, Chen Qun); I respect Zhao Yuanda for his knowledge and righteousness; I respect Confucius and Wenju for his profound knowledge and strong memory; he uses the weak to match the strong and is loyal to the Han Dynasty; I respect Cao Mengde; he has outstanding majestic appearance.

I respect Liu Xuande for his tyrannical strategy; I respect Gongsun Wenqi for whipping the world and reorganizing the country... How proud is he to respect him like this! How can I even record the triviality of my remaining sons?'" "Jiu Yan Shu"
