Although Yuan Shao was not very satisfied with Tian Feng's closing proposal, he still very much agreed with Tian Feng's proposal to withdraw troops immediately.

Moreover, the two proposals do not conflict.

The method of 'settling accounts after the autumn' is more tactful and very effective, which is in line with Yuan Shao's intentions.

Therefore, Yuan Shao ordered the army to withdraw from Zhuo County, and could only surrender Zhuo County to Han Cheng.

Yuan Shao's army, which withdrew from Zhuo County, did not return to Jizhou directly, but withdrew to Yuyang County to hold on.

Yuan Shao also ordered the army of Jizhou to gather heavy troops in the area of Zhongshan County, and put on the appearance of counterattacking Zhuo County at any time.

This kind of deterrence, although it is huge, has no practical effect.

Because even if Yuan Shao did not gather heavy troops in the area of Zhongshan County in Jizhou, when Zhuo County was just recovered, Han Cheng would have sent an elite army to take over the defense of Zhuo County.

Yuan Shao's behavior was like a child fighting to Han Cheng.

It doesn't matter if you can't beat it, if you get beaten.

But you also have to grit your teeth and cry a few times, and scold others a few times.

Because of this, I feel that although I was beaten, I didn't look like I was losing in words.

Of course, it's just my feelings.

Regarding Yuan Shao's behavior of letting Zhuo Jun go, Han Cheng accepted it unceremoniously.

After receiving it, Han Cheng did not have the idea of taking advantage of the victory to pursue Yuan Shao to Yuyang County.

First, the strength of the Fenwu Army was not enough for Han Cheng to do this; The second is that the Fenwu Army has just taken over Zhuojun, and a lot of affairs are entangled.

At this time, there were three forces in Youzhou, the largest of which was still Yuan Shao, who occupied Yuyang County, Guangyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County;

ranked second is Han Cheng, who occupies Dai County and Zhuo County;

Finally, it was Liu Yu's old department that occupied Shanggu County.

Under the mutual restraint of these three forces, the territory of Youzhou temporarily reached coexistence and obtained a temporary peace.

......

Three days after Han Cheng took over Zhuojun

Inside the council hall of the Taishou Mansion in Ning County, Kamiya County

Sitting in the middle is a man in his forties, with a Chinese face, piercing eyes, a long beard, and a white embroidered robe.

This person is the current Upper Valley County Taishou - Xian Yufu.

This position of taishou was not appointed by the Han court, nor was it appointed by Yuan Shao, who occupied most of Youzhou, but was privately supported by the people of Shanggu County.

After the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, there was no one in Shanggu County to call the shots, and many things could not be handled.

It is rarely expected to be returned, and is respected by the officials and people under his subordinates, and acts as a substitute for the Taishou things.

After a long time, everyone gets used to it, so Xian Yufu has become a real Taishou.

There are two people sitting under Xian Yufu, one of whom has a big waist and an elegant face, but his body is full of the fierce spirit that only ethnic minorities have.

This person's name is Yan Rou, but he is an authentic Han Chinese.

It was only because he was captured by the Karasuma and Xianbei ethnic minorities in the north when he was young, so he developed the living habits of ethnic minorities, giving people a feeling of ethnic minorities.

It's not that he wants to be like this, it's that he has to.

A very young child, far away in a foreign land, and of humble status.

If he was not familiar with the habits of ethnic minorities and integrated into them, how could he have survived until now?

As for the last remnant, they are dressed as weak scholars.

There are many square scarves, swords, and scholarly ornaments.

Although he can also lead troops into battle, he is better at governing places.

This person is none other than Liu He, the only son of Liu Yu, the former Youzhou pastor.

At this time, the three of them were gathering together to discuss the matter of the southern part of Youzhou.

The three of them all knew that with the ability of the three of them, they might be okay in Ueya County, but in the world, it was really a bit insufficient.

The path of self-reliance is not advisable, and turning to others is the best way out.

At this time, Xian Yufu was the person with the highest position among the three, so he took the lead in saying to Yan Rou and Liu He: "Two virtuous brothers, according to reliable sources, Zhuo County has changed hands.

The new owner is Han Cheng, the pastor of the state.

This man was not very old, but he had the means to defeat Yuan Shao's army of 80,000 with an army of 60,000 on the banks of the Yi River.

After he occupies Zhuo County, Shanggu County may be his next target, what should we do then? ”

The implication of Xian Yufu is: Are we taking refuge in him? Or do you want to go to someone else and fight against him?

Liu He knows his ability, and he can govern one side, but he can't give good advice on this kind of strategic issue, and the final destination of Shanggu County still needs to be discussed and decided by Xian Yufu and Yan Rou.

For Liu He today, I came to listen.

So, Liu He took the lead in standing up and said politely to the two: "I don't have any opinion on this matter, whoever you say to take refuge, I will follow whoever you say to take refuge."

I just hope that the two of you will be calm in the process of negotiation, take your time, and don't hurt your peace. After all, no matter what, we are all brothers who have fought together in the past. ”

Xian Yufu and Yan Rou agreed with Liu He's words very much.

Discuss it slowly, and then the result is not.

While Liu He was talking, Yan Rou was thinking in her heart.

After Liu He finished speaking, Yan Rou said softly to Xian Yufu:

"Brother Xian, now there are fewer and fewer princes in the world, and there are not many candidates left for us.

I don't speak dark words, and Han Cheng in Hezhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou, I am more optimistic about these two.

As for Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, and Lu Bu in Xuzhou, I am not optimistic.

So, either we will submit to Han Cheng, or we will take refuge in Cao Cao and fight against Han Cheng.

I'm more inclined to submit to Han Cheng. ”

After listening to Yan Rou's words, Xian Yufu also said softly to Yan Rou: "Brother Xian, in terms of candidates, we are really heroes who see the same!"

Except for Han Cheng in Bingzhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou, no one can take it from my view of the world.

But I am more optimistic about Cao Cao, this person cares about the people, is eloquent, knows people well, and is broad-minded, and he must be the last person. ”

Yan Rou smiled, followed Xian Yufu's words, and said, "Brother Xian Yufu, from the perspective of personality alone, Han Cheng and Cao Cao are not much different.

These two people are people who care about the people, know people well, and have a big heart.

But Cao Cao was older and more experienced after all, so he was a little stronger than Han Cheng militarily.

Han Cheng can have this achievement at such a young age, I think Han Cheng is more powerful than Cao Cao, and the person who goes to the end should be Han Chengcai. ”

After listening to Yan Rou's words, Xian Yufu's face remained unchanged, but he was very anxious in his heart. Therefore, his tone was slightly hurried and said to Yan Rou:

"Brother Xian, people will become. Han Cheng is young now, and his understanding of life is not so profound, if he reaches Cao Cao's current age, maybe he will not be like this.

The ancients said: Thirty and stand.

Han Cheng has not yet reached thirty, and he is still a little tender.

If you develop well, it's okay to listen to good words, but if you don't develop well, we follow him, and the future will be dark. ”

Yan Rou's eyes were firmly fixed on Xian Yufu, and she secretly said in her heart: "What's wrong with Xian Yufu today?" It's not the same as usual.

Although Xian Yufu is not an upright person, he is also a person who has one saying one and two saying two, and today's words are obviously biased towards Cao Cao.

Could it be that Xian Yufu has already surrendered to Cao Cao, and today he is here to persuade me? ”

At this time, Xian Yufu didn't feel anything wrong with him.

Xian Yufu's words are indeed very biased towards Cao Cao, first, Xian Yufu himself is very optimistic about Cao Cao, and secondly, in recent days, a familiar 'distinguished guest' has come to Xian Yufu's house.

This 'distinguished guest' is Xian Yufu's confidant and friend - Tian Yu.

Xian Yufu is a native of Yongnu County, Yuyang County, Youzhou, and Tian Yu is a fellow villager.

The relationship between the two is very good, and they once studied together and practiced martial arts together.

After the two became adults, they both worked in Youzhou.

is just one person serving under Liu Yu; One served under Gongsun Zhan.

Although the lords are different, it does not affect the relationship between the two at all.

When Xian Yufu was just in charge of Shanggu County, he also inquired about Tian Yu's news everywhere, wanting him to serve as his own long history and jointly manage Shanggu County.

However, since Gongsun Chan began to fish the common people, Tian Yu broke away from Gongsun Chan and went directly south to Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao cherished Tian Yu's ability and talent very much, and appointed him as the Taishou of Yiyang to govern the party.

In order to thank Cao Cao for his kindness, Tian Yu took the initiative to invite Ying to go north to Youzhou, intending to take advantage of Han Cheng and Yuan Shao's conquest to persuade Xian Yufu to return to Cao Cao.

Tian Yu can be said to be the most low-key famous general in the Three Kingdoms.

This person is courageous, eloquent, characterful, and capable, and can be said to be a 'perfect general'.

Historically, Tian Yu was Cao Cao's northern defensive barrier.

Moreover, it can deter ethnic minorities from entering the country one step at a time; Train elite cavalry internally to assist Cao Cao in fighting for the world.

It can be said that Cao Cao can have the final achievement, and Tian Yu is indispensable.

After some lobbying by Tian Yu, Xian Yufu gave birth to the idea of taking refuge in Cao Cao in his heart.

Therefore, in today's discussions, Cao Cao speaks everywhere.

After Yan Rou thought for a moment, she resolutely said to Xian Yufu: "Brother Xian Yufu, I am still more optimistic about Han Cheng. ”

When Xian Yufu heard Yan Rou's words, a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, and he said in a cold tone: "Virtuous brother, everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force it!"

Now that you have a home, then our fate is over.

If we meet on the battlefield in the future, we will have to rely on our own abilities. ”

Before Yan Rou could speak, Liu He hurriedly came out and said, "Don't worry about you two first.

I listened to the two of you and had an idea in my mind.

Since neither of them can guarantee that Han Cheng and Cao Cao will make it to the end, how about one of them take refuge in the other?

Besides, both of you are people with outstanding talents, if you are in one of the forces, you will definitely be hindered in the development, it is better to develop your own in the two forces.

In case Han Cheng is the last person to succeed, then with Yan Rou here, Xian Yu and his family can not be saved;

If Cao Cao is the last person to succeed, then there is Xian Yu to assist, can't Yan Rou and his family be saved? ”

After Xian Yufu and Yan Rou heard Liu He's words, their eyes lit up.

Liu He's words seem to be the best way out.

It is possible to fulfill the wishes of individuals and protect each other at the last moment.

Why not?
