Chen Gui thought that he would establish contact with Guo Peng no matter what.

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Gui didn't think that Guo Peng, who had occupied the five states, was willing to live under Yuan Shu.

Having just defeated Yuan Shao, Guo Peng should be ambitious and full of fighting spirit.

Some people think that the number one in the world now is Yuan Shu, definitely Yuan Shu, not anyone else, and there is no one in the world who can compete with Yuan Shu.

But Chen Gui felt that the person who could compete with Yuan Shu was next to Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shu really had bad intentions, would Guo Peng follow him along the way to the dark?

It is said that Xun Yu, who was born in the Xun family in Yingchuan, became an official next to Guo Peng and was trusted by Guo Peng.

Perhaps, something interesting may not happen in the future.

Tao Qian is indeed a little trouble and a little problem, but for Guo Peng, who has been in Xuzhou for many years, Tao Qian is just a small problem and is not a big deal at all.

Compared to Tao Qian, the Southern Xiongnu and Liu Biao were more threatening.

In March of the first year of Xingping, the envoys sent by Jia Xu arrived in Jingzhou and Taiyuan County, Bingzhou.

In Jingzhou, the imperial envoy appointed Liu Biao as the general of Zhennan, strengthening Liu Biao's authority and fame, and giving Liu Biao a great title to compete with Yuan Shu and Guo Peng.

Liu Biao knew the purpose of the imperial envoy. He knew very well what Li Ju and Jia Xu meant, but it was nothing more than Guo Peng and Yuan Shu.

But I have to say that Liu Biao was also very worried.

Guo Peng destroyed Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's group unified Hebei and the Central Plains, and the threat increased greatly. Liu Biao lost his northern allies and was panicked. He was worried that Yuan Shu would do more.

For example, after destroying Liu Yao, they will definitely join forces with Guo Peng to attack Jingzhou to avenge Sun Jian's murder.

Liu Biao was still a little confused. He knew that he could not make peace with Yuan Shu, and Guo Peng might not pay attention to him, so he knew very well that he had to move closer to the Chang'an court, form an alliance with the Chang'an court, and use their great names to fight against the Yuan Shu group.

Now the situation in the world has changed, and it has gradually evolved into the Kanto Group headed by Yuan Shu to fight against the Chang'an court headed by Liangzhou Army.

The Kanto Group followed the orders of the Chang'an court on the surface, but actually despised the orders of the Chang'an court. The Chang'an court could not control the several big bosses of the Kanto Group at all. Therefore, the Chang'an court had to choose foreign aid to restrain the Kanto Group, otherwise Yuan Shu would send troops to Guanzhong in minutes to destroy them.

With Guo Peng's fierceness, this is not impossible.

Liu Biao naturally had no opinion on accepting the appointment of the court and accepted it decisively, but Liu Biao was hesitant about whether he needed to comply with the orders of the Chang'an court and sent troops to help Liu Yao fight against Yuan Shu.

So Liu Biao also summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Among Liu Biao's subordinates, there are four people with the most wise and status.

They are Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, the sons of the Kuai clan of the Xiangyang clan of Jingzhou.

And Cai Mao, a son of the Cai clan of Xiangyang, a large clan in Jingzhou.

The last one is the nightmare of the Sun family who killed Sun Jian, Huang Zu, the son of the Jiangxia Huang clan, who is also a large clan in Jingzhou.

However, Huang Zu has been guarding Jiangxia for many years and does not often counsel military aircraft. The three people who are often accompanied by Liu Biao are Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao.

When Liu Biao went south to Jingzhou, he rode alone to Jingzhou. In other words, Liu Biao had no basic foundation around him, only the reputation of the Eight Chefs.

He himself was also relatively bachelor. By chance, he was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou by Dong Zhuo and took office in a hurry. If it weren't for the help of Kuai and Cai, he wouldn't even come to Jingzhou.

The first pot of gold he came to Jingzhou was also saved with the help of the Kuai family and the Cai family. He eliminated the clan thieves who occupied many places in Jingxiang at that time, established the first army, and then occupied Xiangyang and Jiangling with the help of these two families, and finally gained a firm foothold.

For this reason, he also married the Cai daughter who contributed the most money and efforts as his stepwife.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou Group is such a special existence. All the people in power are locals, and most of the people in charge of the troops are locals.

He was not like Cao Cao, not like Tao Qian, Zang Ba and Cao Bao, not like Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and Taishi Ci, not like Liu Yan and his son, having Dongzhou soldiers.

He was surrounded by his senior executives who were not from Jingzhou, who were from Jingzhou, as his helper. So when something happened, Liu Biao needed to rely on the Cai family and Kuai family.

The same is true now. Liu Biao was very worried about this matter with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, asking whether he would help the Chang'an court fight against the Yuan Shu group and really send troops.

The Cai and Kuai also attach great importance to this kind of matter.

If you accidentally confront the strongest vassal group, regardless of life or death, this kind of thing is extremely risky no matter how you look at it.

"The Chang'an court simply wanted to kill people with a knife. They were worried that after Yuan Shao's destruction, Yuan Shu would rush his troops westward to Guanzhong, so he hoped that Liu Yao would join us to control Yuan Shu, we would fight with Yuan Shu, and they would reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Kuai Yue was quite disdainful of this: "How could such a good thing happen in the world? Ming Gong, you can take over the position, but you will be exempted from sending troops. Yuan Shu is in too strong momentum, so we will continue to wait and see.

Liu Biao still trusts Kuai Yue very much, and Liu Biao also attaches great importance to his opinions.

At that time, Kuai Yue was also an official in the capital city and was still an official under He Jin's command. He tried hard to persuade He Jin not to recruit Dong Zhuo to enter the capital. He Jin refused to listen. He felt that something bad was coming, so he took the lead in asking for an official position as an agent, fled back to Jingzhou, and escaped.

And Kuai Liang also has similar views.

"It's okay to use the strategy of killing people with a knife once. If you use it too many times, it's not a strategy."

Kuai Liang refers to Sun Jian’s incident back then, and Liu Biao remained silent.

To be honest, Liu Biao did not want to go north and forge ahead, nor did he want to expand his power, but he had to do so in all aspects.

If there is a chance and a solution, Liu Biao will not refuse.

Cai Mao looked at the silent Liu Biao and suddenly spoke, "Ming Gong, a few days ago, news came from Yizhou that Liu Junlang was already critically ill and the situation was very bad. The people of Yizhou were discussing who would be the heir to the governor of Yizhou. At this moment, isn't it time for us to advance to Yizhou?"

Liu Yan is critically ill?

Liu Biao's eyes froze.

Two years ago, Liu Yan built the crown and frame of the emperor in Yizhou. Liu Biao once submitted a report to the court to report to Liu Yan.

However, at that time, Liu Yan sent Zhang Lu to kill the former Hanzhong prefect Su Gu, occupied Hanzhong, and isolated the road from Guanzhong to Yizhou. At first glance, he felt ill-hearted.

However, the court at that time was already Dong Zhuo's court, so Dong Zhuo's court would not pay attention to such matters. Instead, he sent Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang to Shu to inquire about the situation. As a result, Liu Zhang was kept by Liu Yan and never returned.

Of course, Dong Zhuo's thoughts were not in Yizhou, but in Kanto.
