With the dancing fire of the bronze goose fish lamp, Cai Ji and Wang Xiu sat opposite each other in the study. Compared with the impassioned at the city gate during the day, Cai Ji at this moment seemed cold and dignified. But seeing her groaning for a while, she asked Wang Xiu, "Shuzhi, is Xin Bike still in Huang County right now?" ”

"Yes, it is reported that Simbi is currently living in the governor's house. The two spent the day wandering around the city. Wang Xiu replied truthfully about the situation of the office.

"Hmm." Cai Ji nodded thoughtfully after hearing what Wang Xiu said. Although he had been in Xudu for several months before, Cai Ji was not deaf to Donglai's situation. At least every once in a while, she would receive a letter from Guo Jia from Donglai. Of course, due to the backward communication of this era, Cai Ji could not achieve the point of "clairvoyance and ears" like later generations. Just as this news that Xin Bi came to Donglai to ask Donglai to send troops to Youzhou, she also received Guo Jia's letter after entering the North Sea border. Although it was relatively late, Cai Ji Guo Jia and others should have discussed this matter before sending the letter. So at this moment, she then asked Wang Xiutan, "Feng Xiao only briefly said in the letter that Yuan Shao wanted Donglai to send troops to Youzhou. But I don't know what you think about this matter? ”

"Back to the lord, whether it is Fengxiao, or General Ziyi, including Xiu, they all think that the lord should stay in Donglai for now." Wang Xiu bluntly said the unanimous thoughts in the hearts of all the generals. In the eyes of Wang Xiu and others, Cai Ji's previous trip to Yecheng in the north and Xudu in the south were all helpless moves when his foothold was not stable. Now Cai Ji has been recognized by the Son of Heaven and the Minister, and has been appointed by the Son of Heaven as the pastor of Xuzhou, and Donglai itself has recovered from the previous battle of Qingzhou after half a year of recuperation. Since he has righteousness in one hand and military power in the other, Cai Ji naturally does not have to be called by Yuan Shao as before and go to danger in person. As for whether to send troops to Youzhou, it depends on Cai Ji's own decision.

Who is Cai Ji, and he immediately heard Wang Xiu's voice. But when she saw her eyebrows, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "This mansion stays in Donglai?" So you think it's necessary to send troops to Youzhou? ”

Wang Xiu heard Cai Ji's question, and then thought of her appearance when she was at the city gate during the day, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What does the lord mean that Donglai ignores Yuan Shao's orders and goes all out to attack Xuzhou?" I am afraid that this will cause Yuan Shao to be dissatisfied, and if there is another war in Qingzhou because of this, it may affect the strategy of Xuzhou. What's more, hasn't the lord always been interested in Youzhou? ”

Wang Xiu, as Cai Ji's important staff, did not have a deep understanding of Cai Ji's Liaodong strategy as well as Guo Jia, but Cai Ji sent people to Liaodong to build a city. And part of the reason why Guo Jia and Tai Shici have been dragging Xinbi is also because they want to wait for Cai Ji to decide whether to put Xuzhou first or Youzhou first. After all, although Guo Jia, Wang Xiu and others have their own views on the situation in the world, it is Cai Ji who ultimately decides the development route of Donglai.

Faced with Wang Xiu's questioning, Cai Ji realized that a series of previous measures against Youzhou had caused trouble to his staff. So much so that Guo Jia and others thought that they had the idea of attacking Youzhou. In fact, Cai Ji does have the idea of taking Youzhou, but not now. After all, at present, Youzhou gathers the princes of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du, and there are also Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu and other foreign races around, and it is a fool's dream to attack this land with Cai Ji's strength. Fortunately, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Du each have ghosts, especially Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, who have fallen into a situation of endless death. It is true that it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shao's strength defeats Gongsun Zhan. But the corresponding Yuan Shao will also consume a lot of military and material resources. Then as long as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are confronted, the battle of Guandu will be the clarion call for her Cai Anzhen to capture Youzhou.

Yes, Cai Ji's initial strategy for Youzhou was based on the "Battle of Guandu". Historically, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, and soon after Yuan Shao died of illness, the children of the Yuan family fought among themselves for the position of head of the family, causing the Yuan family to fall apart. At the same time, Cao Cao was also greatly injured in the battle with Yuan Shao. According to Cai Ji's original plan, she originally planned to let Donglai recuperate, and hibernate until after the battle of Guandu, taking advantage of the chaos between Cao and Yuan, to occupy Qingzhou and Youzhou. It must be known that in terms of the pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qingzhou belongs to the Qi State and Youzhou belongs to the Yan State, both of which are members of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. The Qi State has the advantage of fishing and salt, but the soldiers are not good at fighting. The Yan Kingdom had fierce soldiers and horses, but it was poor in supplies. If you can sit on these two states at the same time, then you really have the capital to compete for the world.

However, compared with Qingzhou, which is close at hand, Cai Ji is relatively unfamiliar with Youzhou, and her own reputation in Youzhou is even more negligible. Therefore, in order to prepare for the capture of Youzhou in the future, Cai Ji thought of asking Lin Fei to come forward to establish Jinxi Port in Liaodong's vassal state, and those sect members in Jiji emigrated to Liaodong for later use. Facts have proved that Cai Ji's arrangement has been somewhat effective. At least as Duan Rong's letter said, Li Min, the Taishou of Hanoi, had already crossed the sea from Liaodong to Huang County to discuss the affairs of Liaodong. Although there are not many accounts of Li Min in history, Cai Ji also knows that this person is a celebrity in Liaodong. If you can use Li Min's line to catch up with the wealthy families in Liaodong, then there will be more security for passing through Youzhou in the future.

In addition, the battle of Wancheng just now also made Cai Ji realize that due to his intervention, history can no longer be the way it was. Fortunately, as long as Cao Cao continues to "coerce the Son of Heaven", it is impossible to adjust the contradictions between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Therefore, in the future, the "Battle of Guandu" may not be called the "Battle of Guandu", but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are bound to have a big war. And this war was an opportunity for Cai Ji to get rid of Yuan Shao's control. Just as Sun Ce in the south took the opportunity of Yuan Shu to become emperor

However, the "dark pile" is a "dark pile" after all, and it is convenient to put more of it to facilitate the future passage of Youzhou. But if it affects the development of Donglai itself in order to put a "dark pile", it will outweigh the losses. Because of this, Cai Ji will let Lin Fei take charge of Liaodong's affairs, and will use Ji's people to immigrate to Liaodong, instead of encouraging the people of Donglai to cross the sea and build a city. At the end of the day, population is the greatest resource in this era. Only with population can we talk about development. Of course, this population should be unrooted and loosely dispersed. In this way, the government can organize them into cantonment households, collect taxes, and draw strong men. Moving the existing displaced people to other places is undoubtedly weakening the strength. At this moment, Xuzhou is more worthy of attack than Youzhou in terms of wealth and defense. If the opportunity to expand the territory is lost in order to cope with Yuan Shao, it will be a big loss. As for sitting on the side and watching the tiger fight, and farming stupidly, it is Liu Biao and Liu Zhang's style, not her Cai Ji's path.

In view of the fact that the relationship with Yuan Shao is becoming more and more estranged at the moment, there is naturally no need to hide some words from Wang Xiu and other henchmen. So, after Cai Ji sorted out his thoughts, he immediately confessed to Wang Xiu, "Don't hide it from Shuzhi, this mansion does have a plan to attack Youzhou, but not now." At present, the government is more concerned about the strategy of Xuzhou. When the government was in Xudu, it had promised the Son of Heaven that it would send troops to attack Yuan and Lu. If Yuan Shao's order is sent to Youzhou, the government is afraid that it will disperse its troops and affect the strategy of Xuzhou. But no matter whether the troops are sent or not, this government will not go to Youzhou in person this time. After all, for Donglai, the strategy of the Central Plains is the top priority. ”

Wang Xiu listened to Cai Ji's heart-to-heart words, and finally showed a knowing smile on his face, "Of course." The Lord's declaration during the day has been made clear. It won't be long before the seven counties of Beihai and the counties of Donglai will support the lord to attack Lu in the south. ”

Cai Ji couldn't help but smile when he saw Wang Xiu's words. No, the reason why Cai Ji made bold statements in public at the city gate during the day was to create a public opinion effect on Xuzhou among the people. In order to facilitate her bargaining with Yuan Shao's envoy after returning to Huang County. However, thinking that this envoy to Donglai was known as "Xin Bi Yin" in later generations, Xin Bi, Xin George, Cai Ji felt that this little trick alone was not enough to deal with that Longxi celebrity. Therefore, Cai Ji then asked Wang Xiutan, "Shuzhi, this mansion listens to what General Junyi said, it seems that these days, the Lu Bu army stationed in Langya is quite quiet, and there is no intention of disturbing Beihai. The government is wondering if Gaomi can lead Lu Bu's army to attack. It's good to show the tense posture of the border to Yuan Shao's envoy. ”

"Your lord doesn't need to worry too much. There is a ready-made reason to send troops here. Wang Xiu said, turned around and took out a brocade box from the box behind him and put it in front of Cai Ji and said, "Lord, this is a letter written by Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya, to Xiu." ”

"Xiao Jian? But that Xiao Guoxiang, who was at odds with Zang Ba? General Junyi also talked about this matter with this government. He wants us to send troops to help? Cai Ji glanced at the brocade box in front of him and didn't mean to open it.

And Wang Xiu opened the brocade box by himself, took out a piece of brocade book from it and handed it to Cai Ji, and said with a slight smile, "The lord misunderstood, Xiao Jian is going to dedicate the city to the lord." ”

"Dedication to the city?" Cai Ji took the brocade book in surprise and took a look, and sure enough, the other party claimed that he wanted to dedicate the Langya Zhucheng to Cai Tingshi. From the other party's repeated words, called Cai Tingshi, it can be seen that this letter should have been written at the time of the Battle of Wancheng. That's why there is a saying about dedicating the city, and now that he has become Caizhou Mu, it is even more natural to occupy Langya. However, compared to directly pressing the border, it is always a good thing to have a leading party to lead the way. Thinking of this, Cai Ji's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Well, Langya is not in the pocket of this mansion." ”

Wang Xiu was quite excited when he saw Cai Ji reading the letter, but he didn't forget to remind her, "Lord, although Xiao Jian and the Langya family are bent on welcoming the lord into Langya. However, at present, Xiao Jian actually only occupies one county in Ju County. And Langya County, Kaiyang City and other important towns are under the control of Zang Ba. Zang Ba and Sun Guan have been running Langya for many years, and their roots in Xuzhou are much deeper than those of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, which are comparable to ordinary rogues. If the lord wants to enter Langya, he will inevitably have a big battle. ”

"Well, Shuzhi has a point. If Zang Ba is not removed, Xuzhou will be difficult to be safe. Cai Ji bowed his head with murderous intent. To be honest, there are not many generals who can make Cai Ji kill. Even if Zhang Liao led his troops to attack Donglai's main formation, clamoring to take her Cai Anzhen's head, Cai Ji did not want Zhang Liao's life in the spirit of cherishing talents. However, Zang Ba is different, he and Zhang Liao are two completely different concepts. Zhang Liao was only a military general, who had no roots and no foundation in the Central Plains and could not stand on his own. But Zang Ba has been entrenched in Xuzhou for many years. In history, after Cao Cao destroyed Lu Bu, the new Xuzhou Mu was none other than Zang Ba, Zang Xuangao. It was not until Cao Pi ascended the throne and became emperor that Cao Pi urged Zang Ba to attack Wu on the one hand, and did not give him a way to increase his troops, slowly weakening the strength of this Zang envoy, and finally seized his military power. But Rao is like this, after Zang Ba lost his military power, he still had 3,500 households, and after his death, he was posthumously called Weihou. In the face of such a big Buddha, Cai Ji paid for this small temple and could not afford it.

Wang Xiu didn't know what Cai Ji was thinking, as the so-called mountain can't accommodate two tigers, it is not surprising that Cai Ji, who aims at Xuzhou, will kill Zang Ba and Sun Guan, who are the head snakes of the land. Wang Xiu was more concerned about how Cai Ji would deal with Yuan Shao in the north. But he listened to him and said to Cai Ji seriously, "With the righteous name of attacking Lu Bu, it is not difficult for the lord to stay in Qingzhou. The trouble at the moment is how to reply to Yuan Shao's request to send troops to Youzhou. As the lord said earlier, Donglai's limited forces are impossible, and it is impossible to send troops to Xuzhou and Youzhou at the same time. But if he does not send troops and does not make efforts, it will cause Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction. Therefore, Xiu thought that the lord still had to express himself about the battle of Youzhou. As for whether to send troops, or food, and how much, the lord still needs to discuss with Fengxiao and others. ”

Wang Xiu's words were very sincere and very realistic. Although you can't have both fish and bear's paws, you still have to give face that you should give. Who made her Cai Anzhen just a small prince at this time. Therefore, after listening to what Wang Xiu said, Cai Ji had no choice but to nod his head, and decided to return to Huang County as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Guo Jia and others.

Although it is not easy to cut both sides of tofu with a knife, the reasons for Cai Ji to stay in Qingzhou are becoming more and more sufficient. No, just as Cai Ji set off to leave Gaomi, the latest battle report came from the south. It is reported that Yuan Shu and Lü Bu met in Pengcheng, during which Yuan Shu publicly named Lü Bu the "King of Song". As for the reason, in addition to Lü Bu being his in-laws, it is also because Xuzhou, which Lü Bu controlled, belonged to the Song State during the Spring and Autumn Period. In this regard, Cai Ji slandered badly, Yuan Shu had no geographical concept, Xuzhou was once a territory of the Yue Kingdom, and Lu Bu should be named the "King of Yue", so that Lu Bu could pinch Sun Ce.

However, Lu Bu obviously didn't care about being the king, he only became the king and became the king. In return, Lü Bu agreed on the spot to send troops to attack Yuzhou with Yuan Shu. And Lu Bu's Xiapi is adjacent to Peiguo in Yuzhou, and the first thing to do is naturally to have a big battle with Liu Bei of Xiaopei. Yuan Shu led the generals Xianxun, Qiao Rui and others to form a coalition with Han Xian and Yang Feng in Guanzhong, and under the banner of "200,000" army, they entered Runan County, Yuzhou, under the rule of Cao Cao. The entire Central Plains was covered with war clouds, and the sound of killing was everywhere, and the Han Court, which had just moved its capital to Xudu, looked unusually shaky in the eyes of everyone.
