325 I've never heard of anything risky
To tell these guys, Yuan Shao was confused, and he really felt that he seemed to have a great advantage.
In contrast, Guo Peng doesn't seem to have an advantage at all, just a pig's nose with green onions and pretending to be an elephant.
So, just go back?
No, Guo Peng had at least 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he also destroyed the 10,000 soldiers and horses he placed in Fanyang County, and trapped the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng.
He fought with Gongsun Chan before and lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and now he only has more than 20,000 capable soldiers on his side.
But that's not a problem.
"If you can get the help of the Karasuma people and Youzhou, it won't be a problem to gather a large army."
Xu Yu immediately offered a plan: "We should strive for the support of Youzhou and the Karasuma people, Ming Gong, subordinates, please send an envoy to the Ministry of Difficult Buildings to seek the support of Difficult Buildings!" ”
As soon as Xu Yu began, the other strategists asked for help, and they wanted to use their incorruptible tongues to persuade the Karasuma people and the Youzhou United Army to help Yuan Shao and defeat Guo Peng!
Yuan Shao nodded immediately, full of confidence, feeling that he had won the victory.
The strategists also think so, as long as they get support, they can defeat Guo Peng, who is short of soldiers and food.
Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Fu Zhu and other strategists asked for envoys from all sides to persuade them to help Yuan Shao.
Then he promised that Yuan Shao would give them enough glory, wealth and political rights after his victory.
And a little something special.
The fame of the fourth and third princes is terrifying, and it is definitely not just these four words.
So when Xu You went to persuade Nanlou to join Yuan Shao's camp, as soon as he heard that Yuan Shao wanted to give him an official and give him money, food, and grass, Nanlou immediately agreed to ally with Yuan Shao to fight against Guo Peng.
When Xun Chen went to persuade Qiu Liju to join Yuan Shao's camp, Qiu Liju heard that Yuan Shao, who was the third prince of the fourth world, came to ask for an alliance, and agreed without saying a word.
When Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Fu Zhu and others went to lobby the major families in Youzhou, the attitudes of the major families were also extremely inclined to Yuan Shao, and they were not moved by Guo Peng's criticism of Yuan Shao at all.
No, even if they are moved, even if Yuan Shao is really such a disloyal and unfilial person, it doesn't matter, in the face of family interests, they will still not hesitate to choose Yuan Shao, who seems to have a greater chance of winning.
We are not children who can only distinguish between right and wrong.
The envoys of the five strategists won a complete victory, and persuaded Yuan Shao to join Yuan Shao's camp by persuading the two Karasuma forces of the Shan Yu Department and the forces of the major powerful clans in Youzhou to join Yuan Shao's camp.
Although there were some contradictions among these people, after the five strategists left, there was also a discussion within the Youzhou United Army.
Among them, Nanlou's position is the most firm, and he must stand on Yuan Shao's side.
"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan Gong family, the fame is so great, even I, a person outside the Sai, have heard of it, let alone others, Yuan Gong will definitely win!"
Nanlou's face was firm.
Moreover, Yuan Shao also promised to give him a lot of treasures, grains, cloths, and other things that the Karasuma people needed, but Guo Peng did not have them, and Yuan Shao promised to give them a lot of cheap privileges, and Guo Peng did not have them.
Who knows if Guo Peng will treat them as enemies?
Therefore, Nanlou, as the left Danyu of Karasuma, expressed his support for Yuan Shao on behalf of the 200,000 Karasuma people under his jurisdiction.
In this regard, Yu Qiu Liju, who is a sworn enemy of Nanlou, ridiculed Nanlou with a strange yin and yang, saying that Nanlou had fought together under Guo Peng, and now he actually wants to be an enemy with Guo Peng?
"In this way, if you kill my whole family, should I fight you here now?!"
Nanlou was furious, pulled out his knife, and looked at Qiu Liju viciously.
Qiu Liju happened to be on fire, and he also pulled out his knife to duel with Nanlou.
Xian Yu Fu Xian Yu Yin hurriedly admonished, and Nanlou and Qiu Liju each stopped.
"The most important thing at the moment is not our infighting, but whether we should help the Yuan family or the Guo family."
Xian Yufu said with some embarrassment: "Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, he has a great reputation, and he eliminated Gongsun Zhan, and his military strength has risen greatly, but Guo Zifeng's military strength is also very strong, and he is good at commanding troops. ”
Hearing this, Nanlou glanced at Qiu Liju fiercely, Qiu Liju glared back at Nanlou without admitting defeat, and the two of them "hummed" and turned their heads not to look at each other.
The Youzhou United Army was led by the Xian Yufu brothers and Qi Zhou, and was established by uniting the family soldiers of the major powerful clans in Youzhou.
Therefore, the representatives of each family have the right to express their opinions and the right to decide whether to stay or not.
Anyway, Nanlou is determined to stand on Yuan Shao's side.
Although Qiu Liju was very unhappy, he remembered the humiliation of the year, so he also chose to stand on Yuan Shao's side, wanting to give Guo Peng a little color and take revenge on him.
Karasuma's two orders decided on the ownership of their respective armies, giving a good start to the powerful clans of the Youzhou United Army.
"Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third duke, the protégé of the family is all over the world, I think he is more likely to win, although Guo Zifeng is also a family of 2,000 stones, but compared to Yuan Benchu is far inferior, it is difficult to compete with Yuan Benchu, how should I choose, you all have something in your heart, right?"
When an older Haoqiang patriarch said this, many people nodded slowly.
Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin glanced at each other, and they both had some ideas in their hearts.
After the meeting, more than two-thirds of the family had decided to join Yuan Shao's camp and help Yuan Shao fight Guo Peng.
Qi Zhou also made a statement, joining Yuan Shao's camp on behalf of the Qi family, but the Xianyu brothers have not yet decided.
After the meeting, the Xian Yu brothers got together in private to discuss the matter.
"Yuan Benchu's conditions are too generous, I don't think we have any reason to refuse."
Xian Yuyin said.
Xian Yufu shook his head.
"Although Yuan Benchu was born in a famous family, the hope of the sea, the fourth generation and three dukes of the family, and the protégés and former officials all over the world, but I thought that Guo Zifeng's military strength was stronger, this is the battlefield, and he relies on the strength of the army to speak.
Yuan Benchu's family is certainly powerful, but it can't help him here, if Guo Zifeng can really kill Yuan Benchu, aren't we helping Yuan Benchu just looking for death? Yuan Benchu's conditions are generous, but he also has to have the life to obtain it, right? ”
Xian Yufu said this, and Xian Yuyin felt reasonable.
Seeing that Xian Yuyin was thinking, Xian Yufu opened his mouth again.
"Guo Zifeng is good at using soldiers, when he pacified and occupied Zhang Chun's rebellion, defeated the rebels with inferior troops, and stationed at the border pass, he never lost a battle, and the Karasuma people admired him very much, and now the Karasuma people want to go against Guo Zifeng because of personal enmity, I think this is asking for a dead end."
"But so many families have decided to follow Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu's military strength is afraid that it can surpass Guo Zifeng, and the chances of winning are very large, once Yuan Benchu is defeated, won't we have both men and money?"
Xian Yuyin has such worries.
Xian Yufu frowned and thought hard for a long time, and his heart was also beating a drum.
A quarter of an hour later, Xian Yufu slowly spoke: "There is no way to have both worlds, you can't help each other, otherwise it will be unpleasing to both ends, no matter who wins, we will not have good fruits to eat."
You have to choose one side to join, and on Yuan Benchu's side, too many people have joined, and what Yuan Benchu said is not absolute, but to give a chance, opportunity, can you definitely seize it? ”
"You mean that we should join Guo Zifeng's side? This is no ordinary adventure. ”
Xian Yuyin looked at Xian Yufu.
"I don't know why, I always feel that Guo Zifeng can win this time, hasn't Guo Zifeng also bought a horse from us over the years? I heard that many families have done business with Guo Zifeng, and I know that Guo Zifeng has strong financial resources, and if he has money, he can recruit troops to fight. ”
Xian Yufu said this, and Xian Yuyin was very surprised.
"Can Guo Zifeng kill Yuan Benchu, the third prince of the fourth world? That's a great thing, if Guo Zifeng wins, it will be a heaven-shaking thing, won't he become the first prince in the world? ”
"That's why we have to follow, if we follow him, the stronger his power, the more benefits we get? And don't forget, Yingchuan Guo's family biography "Little Dulu". ”
"But if he loses......"
"I've never heard of anything risk-free."
The Xian Yu brothers looked at each other and made a decision together.
It's a tough decision, but once you get the benefits, the benefits are great.
Either blood is earned, or the whole family is buried.
This choice is not something that ordinary people can make.
