Hearing Xu Huang say this, Liu Zheng's expression was even more unpleasant.

"That's not going to work."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Yuan Shang, isn't it possible to expect us to wait here all the time?"

Liu Zheng doesn't have much time, let him wait here all the time, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fight, but it is not the result that Liu Zheng wants, then Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi must also have spies in Qingzhou, and they must have known that Liu Zheng sent soldiers and horses to Qingzhou.

Otherwise, it will not be at this time, withdraw the troops, although spring ploughing is important, but Yuan Tan, who has no territory in his own right, will not pay attention to this, as long as he has laid down Jizhou, he can talk about spring ploughing, otherwise Yuan Tan, who does not have many cities, will take spring ploughing.

Not to mention spring ploughing, Yuan Tan's subordinates now have to worry about even the grain and grass of tens of thousands of troops.

In fact, not only Yuan Tan lacked grain and grass, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were the same, a big battle last autumn made Yuan Shao consume the Jizhou granary, which was already not much grain, and later because of the arrival of winter, their food was exhausted.

In today's spring, there is not much grain and grass in the hands of the three sons of the Yuan family, but Yuan Shang does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he needs less grain and grass.

And Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan are different, Yuan Xi's subordinates, there are hundreds of thousands of troops under the Karasuma people, although only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are under Yuan Xi's orders, but it is enough to give Yuan Xi a headache, and he is extremely short of food.

And Yuan Tan, who has 40,000 or 50,000 Yuan Shao's headquarters army that originally attacked Yanzhou, is also short of food and grass, and now this problem is expanding.

And because Jizhou has not been peaceful recently, and the successive battles, the price of rice and grain has skyrocketed, even if Yuan Tan and others collect grain and grass among the people, it is not so easy.

Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses were stationed outside Linzi City for half a month, and although Yuan Shang provided food and grass for Liu Zheng's men and horses, he never sent troops, which was not a solution.

Liu Zheng couldn't send someone to urge Yuan Shang, so he could only wait.

In the past half a month, Liu Zheng has received information from the Jinyi guard sent by Zhou Yu that Zu Lang and Zhou Tai have taken people out to sea, have found some clues, and are planning to pursue those pirates.

Liu Zheng didn't pay much attention to those pirates.

So, I summoned Guo Jia, Xu Huang and others to come over to discuss the situation in the north and how to break it now.

In the big tent, Guo Jia, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Wu Anguo, Chen Zhi and others were all present.

Guo Jia is the military division of the three armies handpicked by Liu Zheng, Xu Huang is the commander, and Tai Shici is the deputy.

Wu Anguo is the deputy general of Tai Shici's battalion, and Chen Zhi is a newcomer recruited by Liu Zheng in the Runan region some time ago, and now he is serving as the commander of Qu under Xu Huang, although his status is not as good as Pei Yuanshao, but his responsibilities are different from Pei Yuanshao's.

"Fengxiao, we have been in Qingzhou for a month, and the time is about to reach May, if the war in Jizhou has been subsided like this, we will not be able to intervene, do you have a way?"

Liu Zheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he directly asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia has been idle recently, there is no war, just wait, he has walked some mountains and rivers near Linzi City, and he is familiar with the nearby terrain a lot.

"Your Majesty, Feng Xiao thinks that this is not a problem at all."

"Huh? Looks like you've got a solution? ”

"There are ways, it depends on whether Your Majesty wants to do it or not."

As soon as Guo Jia's words were spoken, they attracted the attention of everyone present.

Xu Huang was also very interested, and asked Guo Jia directly.

"Fengxiao Junshi, tell me quickly, how should we go to Jizhou to fight the two brothers of the Yuan family."

Guo Jia smiled faintly.

"Hehe, everyone, if the Yuan brothers don't fight, can't we let them fight, these days, I have been dressed up in disguise and have been looking for a place in this Linzi City."

"There are a lot of hawkers from Jizhou in this city, and their purpose is nothing else, but they want to buy some grain and sell it to Jizhou. Jizhou must be very short of food now. ”

"If we can upset the balance of the Yuan family brothers, are we afraid that they won't fight?"

Guo Jia has already begun to deploy this matter these days, and now when Liu Zheng asked, he directly talked about it with Liu Zheng and others.

As soon as Liu Zheng heard Guo Jia's words, he knew that Guo Jia had already come up with a solution, so he immediately asked.

"Fengxiao, how are we going to break the balance of the Yuan brothers?"

"This is simple, Your Majesty, the brothers of the Yuan family are already unbalanced, Yuan Xi is strong, Yuan Tan is weak, the reason why they have stopped now, firstly, there is not much food and grass on both sides, it is difficult to continue, it is not a wise move to continue fighting, and secondly, they are afraid of our 30,000 soldiers and horses."

"And now most of the sources of grain and grass for the Yuan family brothers are asking some big families under their command for help, and those families provide grain and grass to the Yuan family brothers, if we can say that these families do not give the Yuan family brothers food and grass, then the Yuan family brothers who have no food and grass can only continue to send troops to rob them."

"In this way, they will inevitably fight again, and then we can take the opportunity to send troops."

"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, clever plan, but how do we know who is providing grain and grass for the Yuan brothers in these big families?"

"Your Majesty about this, in fact, you only need to ask the Mi family to know, and even if you don't ask the Mi family, let's ask Yuan Shang, he should know which family's business in Jizhou is the best, and it can be clear, who is providing military funds for the Yuan family, you can clearly know who is providing grain and grass for the Yuan family brothers."

"Okay, I'll let Xu Huang go and ask Yuan Shang about it."

After Liu Zheng said that, he looked at Xu Huang, Xu Huang quickly understood what Liu Zheng meant, immediately said goodbye, went to Linzi City, and talked to Yuan Shang.

This incident did not make Liu Zheng and them wait long.

In just half an hour, Xu Huang rode his horse and rushed back to Zicheng.

Then he brought news to Liu Zheng.

"How is it, Gongming, what did Yuan Shang say?"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shang said that among the major families in Jizhou, it is the Zhongshan Zhen family that has always helped the Yuan family."

"Zhongshan Zhen family."

After hearing the news, the people present all frowned, as if they didn't know much about this guy.

Tai Shici, Guo Jia and the others all had flat faces, and they didn't seem to have heard much of this family.

But after Liu Zheng heard about this Zhen family, he was immediately shocked, in the Three Kingdoms era, the Zhen family was a small surname, and only one was more famous, and this family was either someone else, or a Zhen family with Roselle Zhen Mi.
