Under Yuan Shu, the general Liu Xun first stood up and put forward his views to Yuan Shu because of his identity.

"General." Liu Xun went out of the class to admonish, and said: "Today's situation, in the end of the general's view, Yangzhou and Yanzhou are not advisable, Yanzhou's chaotic pattern has now been disrupted, the original independent Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin and others are all dead, Cao Mengde took advantage of the gap to gather the people of his various departments, and the leaders of the Dongjun clan Chen Gong and Zhang Miao supported his ascendancy, and through the crusade against Qingzhou Sima Ju, he won millions of yellow turbans, and his power was unprecedented! And Yangzhou assassin Chen Wen, has also been united with Tao Qian, installed Wang Lang and Tao Shang to take over Huiji County and Danyang County, although the general's power has now penetrated into Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, but the land of Shouchun is still tightly in the hands of Chen Wen, and Xuzhou Tao Qian is now helping him...... On our side, Sun Wentai died in Xiangyang, our forces were frustrated, with the current situation, we should continue to recruit troops, expand our strength, and spend it with the last general, three years later, the general can train a strong army in the world, and then it is not difficult to go north to fight Yanzhou, or to fight Yangzhou in the east, but at this time we should not act rashly. ”

"Three years?" Yuan Shu sneered when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "My Yuanmen's house slave is developing in Jizhou, and Cao Apu's power is also rising now, three years later, the two of them jointly occupied the north, what else can Yuan rely on to shake them?" This is really a corrupt opinion! ”

Liu Xun's loyal advice was choked by Yuan Shu's words, and he couldn't help but blush, but just returned to the class stupidly.

Yuan Shu glanced around the crowd and finally landed his gaze on Yan Xiang's body.

Yan Xiang is the master of Yuan Shu, and he is also relied on as the first think tank by him on weekdays.

Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shu's gaze fall on his body, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

After all, I still have to go out to work to solve the current situation.

In good conscience, Yan Xiang still agrees with Liu Xun's opinion, and Liu Xun's opinion is really high-level, which is very in line with Yuan Shu's current situation.

But Yan Xiang could also see that Yuan Shu was close to madness at the moment, and trying to dissuade him from stopping his army was tantamount to a fool's dream.

Although it is out of place, it seems that this battle must be fought.

Yan Xiang carefully analyzed the current situation in his heart before admonishing Yuan Shu.

"Since the general is determined to fight, he needs to make several preparations now."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was immediately happy.

That's what he really wants to hear.

"Master Yan, hurry up?"

Yan Xiang calmly admonished Yuan Shu: "Cao Cao of Yanzhou, since he has received the support of the Chen Gong of the Dongjun Shi clan, it proves that the Shi clan of Yanzhou has accepted him, since there is the support of the local Shi clan in Yanzhou, coupled with the sudden increase in troops, the general must not use troops against Cao Cao for the time being, otherwise he may not be able to win, and to deal with Cao Cao, he still has to use some dividing means, so as to wait for the future to succeed, and then it is not too late to plot against Yanzhou." ”

"Divide Cao Cao?" Yuan Shu frowned, and said strangely: "Then according to the meaning of Lord Yan's book, how should we divide him?" ”

Yan Xiang said slowly: "Cao Cao's rise this time is too fast, many things are actually chances, temporary coincidence, he occupies Yanzhou, it seems that although the appearance is strong, but the situation is not stable, in Yanzhou, the people led by Chen Gong and others support Cao Cao, but it is only because of the sudden entry of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Liu Dai died, the scholars had to do it, and the scholars had to push Cao Cao to the table in order to stabilize the situation, but although Cao Cao was temporarily powerful, in Yan's opinion, he did a big stupid thing, I am afraid that this incident will be enough to ruin his status in Yanzhou in the future. ”

Everyone under Yuan Shu's command couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they heard this.

Cao Cao is now in power, recruiting troops, and his power is rapidly expanding to the second Yuan...... Now everyone in the world knows that they have seen Cao Cao's power, but they really don't know what stupid things he did?

Yan Xiang saw that everyone was unknown, and then smiled and said: "I heard that the Xun clan is the head of the Yingchuan clan, Xun Yu!" entered the shogunate Cao's mansion and was led by Cao Cao as an arm helper, in Yan's opinion, this is a big stupid thing that Cao Cao did. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little daze when they heard this.

Yingchuan Xun clan has been the crown of the Central Plains clan for many years, and the Xun clan eight dragons in the past are the world's leaders. It's a good thing!

Yan Xiang, this kid, stupid, right?

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Yan Xiang immediately explained to everyone, saying: "In the long run, getting Xun Yu is indeed a great thing for Cao Cao, but after Cao Mengde was born as a eunuch, in terms of his attitude and means towards the scholars, he is far less clever than the general and Yuan Benchu, who were born in the fourth world and the third prince, and got Xun Yu, for the current Cao Cao, it is definitely like an unexpected joy, as Yan expected, Cao Cao will definitely use Xun Yu to quickly recruit other celebrities from Yingchuan to enter Yanzhou. But Cao Cao's move, how would the local scholars in Yanzhou, led by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, feel? ”

As soon as Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately understood.

Takami!

Yuan Shu was born in the family of the fourth world and the three dukes, and he understood the huge energy that could be generated by the common advancement and retreat between the wealthy families of the Yizhou scholars.

Cao Cao was not wrong to get Xun Yu, and it was not wrong for him to use Xun Yu to recruit the celebrities of Yingchuan, but if he was in a hurry, did not pay attention to the means of balance, and suddenly exerted his strength, and recruited a large number of Yingchuan celebrities into Yanzhou, affecting the interests of the local scholars in Yanzhou, the consequences could be described as unimaginable.

On the issue of dealing with the Shi clan, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been cautious.

In Yuan Shu's eyes, Cao Apu is a very smart person.

But it's a pity that he Cao Apu also has a short leg, that is, General Cao, who was born in a eunuch family in the past, has a far less thorough understanding of the group of scholars than he and Yuan Shao.

Especially the strength of the Shi clan, he Cao Cao is still far from knowing.

"Haha, Yuan understands." Yuan Shu nodded with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then let Cao Cao do it, if he uses Xun Yu to recruit celebrities in Yingchuan, Yuan will not stop him." ”

Yan Xiang smiled and nodded: "The general is wise, not only can he not stop him, but he also has to help Cao Cao at a critical moment, in addition, I heard that the imperial court has sent Jin Shang to assassinate the history of Yanzhou, the lord might as well secretly help him, and use Jin Shang to make Cao Cao's position as the lord of Yanzhou sit for a while, in order to have a future effect, in addition, the general will also send someone to contact the local scholars in Yanzhou!" Let him know that Cao Cao wants to recruit Yingchuan celebrities into Yanzhou, and when the time comes, he can weaken Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou. ”

Yuan Shu heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and praised: "Master Yan's plan is very clever, Yuan was in Luoyang in the past, and Bian Rang both served under the command of the great general He Jin!" It's very familiar with it! According to Yuan's current identity, as long as he sends someone to make Chen Yi powerful and let him understand the key, Bian Rang will definitely be on guard against Cao Cao...... Bian Rang is the head of the Yanzhou clan, as long as he understands the consequences of Cao Cao's recruitment of Yingchuan celebrities into Yanzhou, according to Bian Rang's upright temperament, he will inevitably gather everyone to oppose Cao Cao......"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly hit his right palm with his left fist, and said happily: "Cao Apu, Cao Apu, I want to see, if the head of the Yanzhou Shi clan is secretly against you, do you dare to move or dare not move him?" ”

Yan Xiang smiled slowly: "Cao Cao doesn't move and let the people of Yanzhou sooner or later unite with the scholars of Yanzhou to put Cao Cao in the air, but if Cao Cao dares to move the head of the Yanzhou scholars, then his good days in Yanzhou will come to an end...... What Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and the like, they will never support Cao Cao again! At that time, as long as there is a slight opportunity, Cao Cao's forces in Yanzhou will be wiped out overnight under the promotion of the entire Yanzhou clan! ”

Yuan Shu laughed and exclaimed: "The master book is clever, this trick of differentiation is really good!" …… Can you also use this method to deal with the Tao family kid in Danyang County? He, like Cao Cao, took over Danyang County for a short time. ”

Yan Xiang shook his head when he heard this.

"Yuan Gong forgives the sin, originally this method, the subordinates were going to use it on the potters, but since the son returned to Xuzhou to take over Danyang County, the subordinates have been arranging to send people to investigate his behavior, but found that the method of the subordinates who are suitable for talents is not applicable to the potters and their father Tao Qian."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Why?" ”

Yan Xiang sighed and said: "Cao Cao is in a hurry at the moment to recruit talents, but the behavior of Tao's father and son is decent, especially the pottery merchants, the means of balancing the scholars are also quite powerful, the four major families of Xuzhou are in Pengcheng, balanced by their father Tao Qian, although they are not enterprising, but there is no omission, Wang Yun and Huangfu Song and other foreign scholars are settled in Danyang County by the pottery merchants, used as foreign aid, not to let the Xuzhou scholars intersect, and more importantly, even if it is the eldest son of the Huaipu Chen family, the former leader of the Xuzhou scholars, It was also brought to Jinling City by a potter, although Chen Deng must have been for profit...... But at least for now, the Tao father and son use these scholars in a balanced manner just right, tepid, and if the Xuzhou scholars want to attack his father and son, they really can't find an outlet. ”

Yuan Shu snorted when he heard this, and said with disdain: "If that's the case, if you deal with Danyang County, you can only fight hard?" ”

Yan Xiangchang sighed and said: "At this moment, if the general confronts Cao Cao head-on, his troops are fierce, and the general is afraid that he may not be able to defeat him, so he can only use the division between the Shi clan, but deal with the tepid Tao father and son, who have just the right relationship with the Shi clan...... But I can only fight. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shu understood.

Yan Xiang said so much, but he was just persuading himself not to fight Yanzhou, but to fight Yangzhou!

"What's the way to play?"

Yan Xiang smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's good to say, first find a reason at will, capture Shouchun, get rid of Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and make Yangzhou counties leaderless, and then urge Sun Jian's son Sun Ce to help his father's coffin return to his hometown to guard filial piety, and the general can canonize Sun Jian's nephew Sun Ben as the assassin of Yuzhou, turn Danyang Lieutenant, and take Sun Ben as the pioneer, lead Sun Jian's former soldiers and horses as the front, and my Nanyang army as the back, advance by land and water, take Danyang County directly, and open the gateway to Yangzhou!" ”

Speaking of this, he heard Yan Xiang pause again, and said: "I heard that there is no naval army under the command of the pottery merchant, and the lord can put the main force on the water war this time, and take this advantage to defeat the pottery merchant in one fell swoop and occupy Jinling City. ”
