Pei Qing attacked Qiao County and the killing of He Man quickly spread. Most people's reactions were very dull, but some people's reactions were very fierce. For example, Cao Cao, the new governor of Yanzhou, felt a little incredible after receiving the news, because He Man had more than 10,000 troops under his command and even used the means to drive the people to defend the city, but he didn't even hold on for a day. This was really incredible.

At this time, a young man bowed and said, "My lord, in fact, at the beginning, the official said that He Man could not be Pei Qing's opponent, and he could not stand by our reinforcements at all. What's more, in the northeast of Pei State, Pei Qing's general Pei Yuanshao is discussing the inclusion with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army who fled there. If we go there at this time, we will accelerate their shared hatred of the enemy because of suspicion. In this way, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will be more likely to accept their inclusion. In fact, for the lord, Yuzhou is just a burden for us. After all, after getting there, we have to face the attacks of Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, so instead of doing so, the lord might as well use its strength to Yanzhou."

Then another young man in his thirties and faced with a jade face nodded and said, "Lord, what I said in Xiao is so good. Now Pei Qing in Yuzhou resists Yuan Shu's attack. This is our natural barrier. We take this opportunity to manage Yanzhou, train Qingzhou soldiers, and deploy military farming matters to allow our Yanzhou to develop well."

Cao Cao thought for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, what you said is so much. I was indeed a little too greedy before. Now Yanzhou is not stable, and thieves are rising everywhere. The Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo tribe is eyeing me. Chenliu. I should find a way to completely stabilize the situation in Yanzhou, accumulate strength, and then try to expand my strength. Although Pei Qing seized the initiative, the situation in Yuzhou is complicated, so how can it be so easy to control? Besides, there are no talents like Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao around him."

However, Xun Yu was silent for a moment and said, "To be hiding the lord, yesterday the officials got news from the nephew, Gongda, that the nephew had defected to Pei Qing and became his former military advisor. In addition, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, a wise man from Yingchuan, is also under Pei Qing's tent."

"Oh? How about Ling's nephew's talent compared to Wenruo? And who is Chen Qun?" Cao Cao didn't quite understand these two people, so he asked.

Xun Yu sighed, "The wisdom of sacrificing nephew is not inferior to Yu, and Chen Qun himself is a great clan in Yingchuan. His grandfather is a famous scholar Chen Shi. Not to mention that their family's influence in Yingchuan, even Chen Qun's own talent is extraordinary, and his ability to handle internal affairs is not inferior to Yu. Both of them are top talents in the world. Originally, the subordinate wanted to recommend it to his lord, but he did not want to be a step ahead of Pei Qing..."

Cao Cao was silent after hearing this. He had always looked down on Pei Qing, who was born into the Yellow Turban Thief, but he didn't expect that he would develop so strongly now that he had to face them.

However, Cao Cao was not a person who easily surrendered. He had just gained control of the entire Yanzhou and also received 600,000 to 700,000 Yellow Turban Army troops. The newly trained Qingzhou soldiers were enough to reach 200,000. Now is the time to be vigorous. How could he admit defeat under such circumstances?

"Pei Qing, although you are developing faster now, you are still a little younger after all, and there is still a little gap compared to me. I don't believe that in this case, I will not be your opponent. In the future, we will be the biggest opponent. I want to see who will win the game between us by then?" Cao Cao's serious flashed with a strong fighting spirit, and he said silently in the direction where Pei Qing was.

At the same time, in Linying County, Yingchuan County, that is, outside the wall of the county near Runan, Yuan Shu looked disappointed. He led an army of 50,000 to surround the city and attacked day and night. As a result, he did not step on the wall for five or six days, but instead lost tens of thousands of people. He really didn't expect that the opponent's guard was so good at fighting, which made him almost collapse. He was really unbearable to bear such losses.

What is particularly depressing is that just last night, the enemy general broke the rules and secretly led his army out of the city, and then rushed into Yuan Shu's camp in the dark. Although it did not cause much damage to the soldiers, it brought all the food and grass with fire, which caused the food and grass in his army to almost run out, leaving only dry food that could last for a few days.

Yuan Shu thought for a long time and finally came up with a plan. He sent his general Chen Lan to find King Chen and Liu Chong, and handed the letter he had borrowed from King Chen to King Chen, hoping that Liu Chong could lend him 100,000 hu of grain and grass to help him survive the crisis.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Lan handed over the letter, Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen, angrily tore the letter to pieces, and then said loudly: "You go back and tell Yuan Shu that the food and grass in our country are not rich at all, and even if there is surplus grain, they will not lend it to Yuan Gonglu. Pei is the governor of Yuzhou officially appointed by the court, and is also the brother-in-law of today's son. The reason why he led the army and trained elite troops was nothing more than to send troops to save the king and to relieve the country's difficulties. He was very kind to the court for four generations and three ministers of Yuan. Not only did he not want to serve the country, but he planned to frame his counties and loyalty. It is really intolerable. If he had any guilt, he could join forces with governor Pei to fight against rebels. If so, Chen Guo would do his best to help him, but if he did this despicable act now, don't blame me for turning against him."

Chen Lan was furious when she saw this scene and pointed at Luo Jun and said, "Okay, Luo Jun, we will give you face and discuss with you politely, but you are so rude. Do you really think that with Pei Qing's blessing, you can rest assured? Humph, you will soon regret what happened today!"

After saying that, Chen Lan laughed and left the tent.

After leaving Chen State, Chen Lan quickly returned to the camp to meet Yuan Shu, and said it in an ignorant way of Liu Chong and Luo Jun.

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, "What a Luo Jun. Our army treats us with courtesy. He dares to be so rude. Do he really think that with Pei Qing's protection, he can ignore me? Since that's the case, I will definitely make you pay the price and know what regret means?"

Then Yuan Shu quietly ordered to spend a lot of money to hire the gangsters in the world to assassinate Liu Chong and Luo Jun, so as to exude a vent of anger.
