The news came out and the world was shaking.
But at the same time, it's shocking and there's no accident.
According to the hatred between Yuan Shao and Zhang Yu, it's really normal for Yuan Shao to do so.
Yuan Shao was furious when he learned of the leak.
Originally, he was going to do it secretly, and then use the general situation to crush Zhang Yu.
But what Yuan Shao didn't know was what secret it was.
Zhang Yu began to operate the intelligence system many years ago. This time, many people know about it. He has already received the intelligence.
Angry Yuan Shao began to clamor, since there is no way to hide, he will make a big momentum.
"Ha ha, it's a fight. It's going to be a fight at last." Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Chang'an, was excited when he received the news.
Dong Zhuo called the officials and began to hold a banquet.
"Guandong princes are just a group of dogs. Let them bite them off. I'm at ease here." Dong Zhuo said triumphantly.
Some of the people who are attached to the association are in line with Dong Zhuo, and so are his subordinates.
After a while at the banquet, Li Ru got up and said, "grand master, my subordinates suggest that we add some strong materials to make them play happily."
As soon as Dong Zhuo's face brightened, a little light came out of his dim face. He asked eagerly, "Wen you, say it quickly."
"Let your majesty order that Zhang Yu be the anti thief and all the princes in the world fight against Zhang Yu together, so that some people have reason to fight Zhang Yu. With the influence of Yuan Shao, more people will follow him. In addition, you can order Liu Biao to send troops to attack him. He is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He dare not defy his Majesty's order." Li Ru offered his own strategy.
Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully and thought that there was much to be done, so he said, "OK, OK, let them fight, let them fight."
Dong Zhuo yelled happily, and then called his subordinates and ministers to drink.
He imagined in his mind how the vassals of Kanto would fight.
Li Ru further improved the plan.
Not only to Liu Biao, but also to all the princes.
It's like wholesale.
Even Liu Yan in Yizhou and Liu Yu in Youzhou also received the imperial edict.
In less than a month, many princes spoke out in public against Zhang Yu.
Yangzhou, needless to say, is very positive.
Liu Bei was the first to receive the imperial edict. He immediately denounced Zhang Yu in the name of the Han clan, and declared that if it wasn't for the long distance and the dilapidated Luoyang, he was too poor and had few soldiers, otherwise he would have decided to attack Zhang Yu himself.
However, after crying for poverty, Liu Bei said that as a patriarch of the Han Dynasty, he was duty bound to kill the thieves. He decided to fight Zhang Yu with 2000 troops under the leadership of Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei's statement shocked people all over the world, and some people with different ideas began to be active.
When Liu Biao received the imperial edict, he was also quite embarrassed, so he called his subordinates to discuss the matter.
The scope of this notice is very small. Liu Biao only informed three people.
One is Cai Mao, the other is Kuai brothers.
"The imperial edict of your majesty is actually what Dong Zhuo meant. What do you think?" Asked Liu Biao?
Kuai brothers looked at each other, Kuai Liang said: "Lord, this is a good opportunity. Zhang Yu despises the great man, and even abducts the empress dowager, and forces the Empress Dowager to have a relationship. We must punish him severely. His subordinates suggest that we should set up 100000 troops to fight against Zhang Yu."
If Zhang Yu knows Kuai Liang's remarks, he will scold him. It's too bad to force the Empress Dowager to have a relationship.
Both sides are willing, even if Liu Biao doesn't say anything after listening, but Cai Mao turns his eyes after listening. The Kuai brothers are attacking Zhang Yu on the surface, but they are actually aiming at him.
With the cooperation of Zhang Yu and Cai Mao, Cai Mao's power increased greatly and became Jingzhou. Cai Mao naturally knew that he monopolized Jingzhou's salt, tea, fairy wine, books, paper and other items, and the profits were amazing. All of a sudden, Cai's family became a giant.
It's all about Zhang Yu. If Zhang Yu is destroyed, their Cai family will be greatly affected.
Cai Mao had huge financial resources, so he also expanded the water army. Now he controls 100000 water army and part of the army.
So Cai Mao naturally wanted Zhang Yu to continue to exist.
Liu Biao nodded at Cai Mao and asked him to express his opinions.
Cai Mao pondered and said, "Jingzhou is too far away from Kuaiji. The labor expedition costs a lot, and it's very dangerous. So my subordinates think that we should give priority to support."
Cai Mao knew that Liu Biao was very afraid of him and guarded him everywhere. Now he is closer to the Kuai family and has been using the Kuai family to balance himself.
That's why Cai Mao didn't dare oppose Liu Biao directly.
Liu Biao's face did not change, but he was very unhappy.
Cai Mao almost controlled Jingzhou. When he was there, Cai Mao would give in, but if he died, no one in Jingzhou would be able to control Cai Mao.
This time, Liu Biao was just trying to test Cai Mao and see his attitude.
However, Cai Mao still wants to maintain the relationship with Kuaiji and doesn't want to make a big fight.
But Liu Biao is not easy to attack, because Cai Mao did not object.
After pondering for a while, Liu Biao said, "as a patriarch of the Han Dynasty, and with your Majesty's intention, you should rescue the Empress Dowager from the traitors, so it is imperative to attack Zhang Yu."
Cai Mao didn't dare to object, because Liu Biao took out the imperial edict to suppress him. Although everyone knows that the imperial edict was made by Dong Zhuo, the name is too easy to use.
Kuai brothers all showed a slight smile. They had said Liu Biao had asked him to send troops.
Even if it fails, it will worsen the relationship between Zhang Yu and Cai Mao, so Liu Biao's position will be more stable.
Liu Biao agreed immediately, this time just to test Cai Mao.
Cai Mao was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Liu Biao obviously didn't want to talk much about it, so he hastily concluded the meeting after the decision.
"Hum, Liu Biao, I didn't oppose you on the spot for your face. Without my support, I'd like to see how you can send troops?" After coming out, Cai Mao's face was gloomy.
If he doesn't cooperate, I'm afraid Liu Biao can't do a lot of things.
This time, Cai Mao had planned to stop it secretly.
Liu Biao, the three most powerful Han clan relatives, has made a decision, while Liu Yan of Yizhou just made a statement of support, and he doesn't care about the rest.
Liu Yu also fell into contradiction.
Because Zhang Yu has a place in Liaodong, if he makes a statement, he is afraid that Zhang Yu and Gongsun Zan will unite to deal with him, which makes it very difficult for him.
On the one hand, it is the imperial edict, on the other hand, it is the risk of war with Zhang Yu.
Liu Yu is struggling, no matter which decision is not good.
