Yuan Shao lowered his head and muttered for a long time, then said:

"Xuande, please sit down and talk."

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart,

But the body is not moving,

Still lying on the ground, he spoke:

"Brother Ben Chu, that was only the first time, and then I heard that the Zhen family of Zhongshan Wuji took the initiative to form an alliance with Brother Ben Chu, and even begged Yuan Xi Gongzi to welcome him, but he never thought that it was Lu Bu who inserted a lever and snatched the Zhen family woman and gave him an unknown boy."

After a pause, Liu Bei raised his head,

happened to see Yuan Shao's gloomy face,

Continuing to add fuel to the fire:

"Originally, this can also be said to be a misunderstanding, the first brother is magnanimous and not as knowledgeable as that Lu Bu, how did he expect this son to take this opportunity to directly envelop the Zhen family into his minions, to this day, the Zhen family still provides him Lu Bu with countless money and food support, but these should be filial piety to the first brother."

Yuan Shao's face at this time had begun to distort,

Liu Bei continued to speak:

And at the same time, Na Lu Bu took this opportunity to seize Zhongshan Country and Changshan County, and even plundered millions of people from the Black Mountain Army. What's more, Brother Ben Chu still remembers that Yecheng was occupied by thieves a while ago, and Brother Ben should know the origin of those thieves. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei suddenly stopped talking.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and spit out a few words:

"Those bandits are all the remnants of the Montenegrin army."

At that time, the younger brother also sent someone to investigate the matter, but in the end it was found that those people were instructed in advance, so they had the courage to attack Yecheng, and the person behind the scenes was Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army. When he left Jizhou, he secretly ordered the thieves to lie dormant and disturb his brother's foundation when the time came. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes were already bloodshot at this time,

A mouthful of steel teeth creaked tightly.

Liu Bei lowered his head,

Continue to stay on your knees.

After half a pillar of incense,

Yuan Shaocai suddenly spoke:

"Brother Xuandexian, I already know what you mean, you should go back first. Brother Rong thought about it carefully. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly bowed his head and said goodbye,

When he was about to leave Yuan Shao's study,

Liu Bei turned around again and saluted Yuan Shao respectfully:

"However, the younger brother still asks the first brother to punish him, and the younger brother does have selfish intentions in this matter. The younger brother will not do anything to deceive his brother, but at the same time, what the younger brother said before is that he is willing to serve his brother for the sake of his brother, but it is also from the bottom of his heart, and he hopes that his brother will know it. ”

Yuan Shao's expression softened slightly,

hugged his fists and saluted Liu Bei back:

"Brother Fang Cai is just a joke with the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother is of noble character, how can the foolish brother not know. I also hope that the virtuous brothers will not be surprised, and in the future, you and my brothers will work together to achieve a great cause. ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned around and quickly left the study.

After Liu Bei left,

Yuan Shao's face was uncertain,

He was carefully pondering and measuring the words that Liu Bei said,

After a while,

Suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Someone."

Immediately a soldier came in from outside,

Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said:

"Hurry up and invite Mr. Feng Ji and Mr. Guo Tu."

"Whoa."

After the pro-soldier received the order,

Quickly turned and disappeared into the night.

It didn't take long for two disheveled scribes to stumble into Yuan Shao's study.

He raised his hand to stop the two of them from saluting,

Yuan Shao said to them straight to the point:

"Liu Xuande has approached me just now and wants to ask me to send troops to attack Bingzhou while the Lu Bu people are in Chang'an."

The two looked at each other when they heard this,

They all looked shocked.

Feng Ji hurriedly spoke:

"Lord, Lord, this matter must not be done."

Yuan Shao turned his head sideways and looked at Feng Jidao:

"Why did Yuan Tu say this?"

Feng Ji hurriedly spoke:

"My lord, now that our military has pacified Youzhou, it is the time to stabilize the situation. And if everyone is looking at Yuzhou today, if our army starts the war lightly at this moment and attacks Lu Bu, it will inevitably cause the emptiness of our hinterland, not to mention that it will attract the spurning of the world. ”

Yuan Shao's brows furrowed,

Nodding his head, he said:

"What Yuan Tu said is very true."

Guo Tu on the side at this moment,

But he stepped forward and took a step,

coughed slightly,

When Yuan Shao turned his head to look,

Then he spoke:

"My lord, the lower officials confirm that what Mr. Feng Ji said is inappropriate."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao's heart moved,

Turning his head to look at Guo Tu,

"Let's talk about it."

Guo Tu bowed and said:

"My lord, what Fang Cai Yuantu said is indeed the weakness of our army today. But the lower officials have a different opinion. ”

glanced at Feng Ji on the side defiantly,

Only then did he speak again:

"Although our army has initially decided on Youzhou, Lu Bu now has some similar difficulties. According to the detailed investigation report, Lu Bu went to Guanzhong this time to order Li Ru and the others to go to the Western Regions, and the army would set off after the beginning of spring. And according to reliable sources, there are also remnants of Han Sui in Hexi who are planning to start an uprising. ”

Yuan Shao was moved when he heard this:

"Is this true?"

Guo Tu hurriedly took out a few letters from his arms,

Raised his hands above his head and handed them over to Yuan Shao's hands,

Yuan Shao couldn't help but say,

Stretched out his hand and snatched the book slip from Guo Tu's hand,

Take a closer look,

A solemn look appeared on his face as he looked at it.

Guo Tu's face showed a look of pride,

While looking at Feng Ji arrogantly.

While opening his mouth to Yuan Shao, he said:

"My lord, this information was only delivered tonight. The lord has a lot of opportunities, and the lower officials are afraid that it will affect the rest of the lord, so they are ready to report again tomorrow morning. ”

Yuan Shao nodded but did not reproach Guo Tu,

He once commanded,

If it's not a matter of great urgency,

Don't disturb his normal rest,

Therefore, Guo Tu's move cannot be regarded as a delay in the military plane.

Feng Ji's complexion changed slightly,

Yuan Shao has several major advisers,

but it was divided into several factions,

Among them, he and Guo Tu have always been at odds,

He's good at strategy,

Guo Tu is good at flattery,

Yuan Shao relied on him,

But at the same time, he is very close to Guo Tu,

even handed over the intelligence work to Guo Tu for control.

Obviously, this time the two clashed,

Guo Tu once again took the initiative,

Although Feng Ji's analysis is very accurate and thorough,

But those are built on,

Without the information that Guo Tu just said, under the premise of that.

Yuan Shao slowly closed the book,

The small action between the two of them,

He's not unaware,

His subordinates are not only ministers nor generals,

They are all divided into several factions,

He knew about it,

But not only did he not dismantle the block,

even secretly contributed to the troubles,

He thinks that only these people can compete with each other to help him more.

Yuan Shao's idea is not wrong,

The way to the top lies in checks and balances,

It's just that Yuan Shao has the ability to believe in himself too much,

As a result, perhaps the competition of subordinates is laissez-faire,

made it more and more intense later,

Coupled with Yuan Shao's great joy,

Some listen to and believe those who are sycophants,

That's in the original history,

led to the final defeat.

Yuan Shao put down the book,

Closed his eyes and fell into deep thought,

After a while,

He said in a deep voice:

"Actually, there's something you two don't know."

Guo Tu and Feng Ji looked at Yuan Shao suspiciously,

After a pause, he spoke:

"A few days ago, Yan Liangwen Chou sent back a secret report."

When the two of them heard this, they showed a sudden look,

Yan Liangwen Chou is Yuan Shao's cronies,

Directly under Yuan Shao's moderation,

Even if there is anything,

There is only communication with Yuan Shao.

Feng Ji hurriedly asked eagerly:

"What important military information do the two generals have, but they have already begun to conquer the road?"

As soon as the words come out,

Suddenly I felt bad,

His inquiry was as if it were a question.

But the words have been spoken,

I want to take it back, but it's too late.

Sure enough, a terrifying gloom crossed Yuan Shao's face,

Feng Ji hurriedly opened his mouth and apologized:

"Lord, the lower officials are just in a moment's eagerness, and they still hope that the lord will atone for his sins......"

"Hehe, Yuantu is too worried, how can I be angry with you because of some trivial things."

A smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face

After speaking,

Looking at Feng Ji's face still with a spring breeze smile,

As if the rudeness of Feng Ji before really didn't take it to heart,

But the two people in front of him are old men who have followed Yuan Shao for a long time,

But they know very well,

If Yuan Shao severely reprimanded Feng Ji at this moment,

That shows that he didn't take it to heart.

But if it's as pleasant as it is now,

That can only show that Yuan Shao's heart has already moved the real fire.

Feng Ji opened his mouth,

Finally, but he still didn't say any more words,

He understood,

At this time, no matter what he says, there is no way to remedy it,

On the contrary, it may make Yuan Shao even more angry.

Guo Tu was already smiling in his heart,

But he also kept his mouth shut,

At this time, it finally gained the upper hand,

He couldn't annoy Yuan Shao because he got carried away.

After glancing at the two of them,

Yuan Shao slowly spoke:

"Earlier today, there was news from Yan Liang's side. Jingzhou Liu Biao made a big move, and the soldiers and horses of Nanxiang County were frequently mobilized, and it seemed that nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were moving in the direction of Guanzhong, and at the same time, Jingzhou's general Wen Ping also disappeared. ”

After the two heard the news,

There was a look of shock on their faces.

LIU Biao of Jingzhou,

That's a dog that guards the house,

Now there will be such a big move,

You must know that even if it is a crusade against Yuan Shu,

With the strength of the three families of their imperial uncle alliance,

It was only a total of less than 150,000 horses.

However, at this stall,

Liu Biao actually sent 100,000 people to Guanzhong,

Does this have anything to do with Lu Bu?

Feng Ji opened his mouth to speak,

But after glancing at Yuan Shao, who was expressionless,

I still swallowed back the question in my heart.

Guo Tu cautiously asked:

"My lord, what do you think of this?"

Yuan Shao didn't speak,

A pair of eyes half-open and half-closed,

It's like an old monk in a state of mind.

Seeing this, Guo Tu,

A pair of eyes rolled around twice and said:

"My lord, there is something strange about this matter. Some time ago, news came from Jingzhou that Jingzhou's general Huang Zu's family seemed to have been killed by his brother Huang Zhong. And that Huang Zhong actually went to Lu Bu with his family after killing Huang Zu, Liu Biao was furious about this, and even sent the most powerful Kuai brothers under his command to investigate the matter thoroughly. Now he suddenly secretly mobilized the army and moved in the direction of Guanzhong, what is the reason for this? ”

After Guo Tu's analysis,

The answer is already on the horizon,

But he pretended to be puzzled,

Feng Ji frowned when he saw this,

glanced at Guo Tu, who was pretending to be pretended, with disdain.

Yuan Shao said at this time:

"According to my guess, then Liu Biao should be going to attack Guanzhong."

Guo Tu patted his thigh and hurriedly said:

"Oh, my lord is wise. It must be this reason, Zhang Ji, the general of the Guanzhong, was as timid as a mouse, during the previous battle of Chang'an, he almost trapped Li Ru and Xu Rong to death, and it was against them that Liu Biao learned the news, so he took advantage of Huang Zhong's matter to make such a big move. ”

Yuan Shao nodded,

Fushu spoke:

"That's right, that's right."

Guo Tu's eyes lit up,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Oh? What's the joy? ”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and asked Guo Tu.

Guo Tu said with a flattering smile on his face:

"Now Lu Bu's troops and horses are frequently mobilized, and he is busy with the expedition to the Western Regions. He didn't know that Liu Biao and Hexi were going to give him some eye medicine at this time. If the lord sends troops at this time, with the momentum of our army's victory in Youzhou, under the attack from three sides, he will definitely be able to obtain great benefits, and he can take the state or Guanzhong. Isn't that a great joy? ”

Yuan Shao was quite moved after hearing this.

"My lord, don't do it!"

Feng Ji finally couldn't help but stop him at this time.

Yuan Shao frowned slightly and was about to scold,

After thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart,

He opened his mouth and asked Feng Ji:

"What do you think about meta-map?"

Feng Ji couldn't care about the ridicule in Yuan Shao's tone at this time,

Hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Lord, the two things of Liu Biao and the old department of Hexi Han Sui are just speculations now. If our army strikes first, even if both sides of him send troops at the same time, our army will fall into the mouth of the other man, and will withstand the strongest and ferocious first wave of counterattack. That Lu Bu has been crisscrossing the field for many years, and there is rarely a defeat, how can it be easy. Although he is now in Chang'an, and the news is that he is about to wave his troops to the Western Regions, after all, it is just news from the details, and the truth is still unknown. On the other hand, Lu Bu is treacherous, and there are many scheming people under his command, who know that there is no backhand for this move, if our army is the first bird, it is very likely to fall into the hands of the other party. If it turns out to be like that, not to mention the heavy losses of our army, and it is very likely that it will make a wedding dress for others, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? Please think twice. ”

Feng Ji said this big pile in one breath,

Even because of excitement,

There are some incoherents when they speak,

But at least he made it clear what he was trying to say.

After Yuan Shao listened carefully,

A pair of sword eyebrows were tightly twisted in one place again,

Although I don't like to behave in the world,

But Yuan Shao also knew,

Feng Ji's ability is among the best under his command,

What he just said,

Although there is some confusion,

But I have to say,

Every sentence is to the point,

has dealt with Lu Bu several times,

He also knew very well that Lu Bu was definitely not an easy person.
