Cao Cao was considered to have had a lot of money with the Yuan brothers. I am afraid that if he had not given three or five years to decide the outcome of this battle between these three people, he would not be able to decide the outcome.

All forces have their own plans. Li Chen had agreed with Cao Cao before to exchange grain for iron ore. Recently, Li Mu has developed many mining areas on Cao Cao's territory. These places are explicitly said to be mining areas, but on the other hand, they are not just mining areas, but also military bases.

Of course, Cao Cao is not a fool. He is a hero, so naturally he cannot let Li Mu station too many troops in the mining area. These troops stationed in the mining area are only enough to protect the mining area from nearby bandits and refugees.

The Great Han Dynasty, Beihai County, and Shu Prince's Mansion.

There has been no war these days, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so suffocated that they both had itchy all over without war, like ants crawling on their bodies.

Now, it has been a month since Shan Fu last promised Liu Bei that he would take over Cao Cao's county land within two months. Now, there is only one month left for the full battle. You should know that this war is not a child playing house.

Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. Once the war is used to raise food and grass, it will take time to mobilize the troops. Not to mention how long it will take to capture a county.

These days, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others asked for battle every day, but Liu Bei was waiting for a few days and waiting for such a few days.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were anxious, and Liu Bei was anxious too. The four families in their alliance had already engaged in war with Cao Cao. Now it was the only one who was Liu Bei. Their leader Yuan Shao had also sent letters to urge Liu Bei to send troops all day long.

Liu Bei was also anxious and always looked for Dan Fu. But every time he talked about sending troops, he always found reasons to change the topic.

Now, Yuan Shao has taken Cao Cao's territory in half of the county, seven or eight counties. As soon as the news of his troops reaching Tongguan reaches Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't hold it in. Damn it, Cao Cao's territory has been swallowed by two or three tenths by others. If they are waiting, let alone eating meat, they will not even be able to drink soup.

After hearing the news that Yuan Shao was in Tongguan, Zhang Fei immediately went to Guan Yu's mansion. Zhang Fei knew that he was a rough man and was not a good person, so he planned to go to find his second brother Guan Yu first, and then go together to persuade their eldest brother Liu Bei.

When Zhang Fei came to Guan Yu's mansion, Guan Yu was reading books. Although Guan Yu was not from a good background, now after his conditions were improved, he particularly liked reading books. In addition to practicing martial arts, he was reading military books. Of course, Guan Yu especially liked reading Spring and Autumn.

"The third brother is here?"

Guan Yu looked up at Zhang Fei, asked, and then continued to look down at the book.

Zhang Fei walked to Guan Yu, grabbed the book from Guan Yu's hand, and then said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, when is it now? You still have time to read books here."

"Third brother, what happened? I'm so impatient?" Guan Yu asked with his eyes raised.

"Second brother, I'll ask you, do you know that Yuan Shao's army is in Tongguan?" Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu and asked.

Guan Yu thought to himself, I know more than just this, now I am afraid that the whole world will know it.

"Well, I know this." Guan Yu nodded calmly.

"Second brother, do you know this about love?"

"I don't know what you think about this, second brother?" Zhang Fei continued to ask.

Guan Yu thought to himself, what do I think? I'm sitting and watching now?

"Third brother, what does it have to do with Yuan Shao's troops entering Tongguan?" Guan Yu asked.

Guan Yu's words make sense. Yuan Shao's troops entered Tongguan and had nothing to do with their half-cent money at that time. They could only look at this huge territory.

"My second brother, think about it. I have only sent troops for a few months, and Cao Cao's territory has lost two or three tenths. If we don't send troops, let alone eat meat, we can't even drink soup."

"It's so great that we can leave some leftovers for us. Second brother, we are divided into four families. Then we will eat meat, so we can pick up some leftover bones for others."

"My second brother, it's time to go, are you still not in a hurry?" Zhang Fei asked fiercely.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei and said to himself, "You are talking about this matter." I'm anxious, and I'm anxious too. After hearing the news that Yuan Shao was in Tongguan, Guan Yu also invited Liu Bei to send troops, but after Liu Bei rejected him, Guan Yu didn't say much.

Although Guan Yu is a bit arrogant, he is much more steady than Zhang Fei. In Guan Yu's opinion, although they are brothers with Liu Bei, they are also Liu Bei's ministers. Although this minister has the right to advise, he cannot persuade him again and again.

As the master, Liu Bei has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Are they Liu Bei's brothers and also Liu Bei's ministers? If both of them repeatedly advised him, it would be a bit of a sign of forcing Liu Bei to send troops, which would only make Liu Bei embarrassed.

"Third brother, since you don't want to send troops at this time, I think he has his own ideas. Let's wait quietly for your brother's military order. This kind of thing cannot be solved by you in a hurry." Guan Yu persuaded Zhang Fei and said.

"Brother, what do you think? According to my opinion, Brother is being given a soup by Old Dao Shan." Zhang Fei said angrily.

"Third brother, the military advisor is a capable person. You must not be so rude to the military advisor." Guan Yu scolded.

Guan Yu admired scholars very much. Since Dan Fu came to Liu Bei's command, he has done an orderly and reasonable manner in managing people's livelihood and preparing military affairs. It is precisely because of this that in Guan Yu's view, Dan Fu is a person with real skills.

Guan Yu was convinced by Dan Fu, but Zhang Fei was dissatisfied. Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, what's this old Taoist capable of? In my opinion, he has the ability to brag about it."

"Second brother, this month ago, Old Dao Shan said that he would take a county land within two months. Now that a month has passed, we haven't even moved our nest."

"Second brother, I ask you how long it will take to raise military rations and how long it will take to mobilize the army. There is only one month left. Even if Daluo Jinxian descends to the earth, he will not be able to obtain a county land in a month. You said, is this old Taoist Shan bragging, what is it?"

After Zhang Fei said this, Guan Yu was really speechless for a moment. Because judging from the current situation, it was impossible to capture a county within one month. Because the territory outside Cao Cao has basically been eaten by Ma Teng, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the rest of the places are basically hard to crack.
