Yuan Shao and Guo Tu chatted speculatively, and Guo Tu took the opportunity to put forward a suggestion: redeem Yuan Tan, He Hao, Zhang Miao and others.

If it was before, Yuan Shao would be very sensitive to this topic, but time has passed, and he often feels sorry for Yuan Tan. When he heard Guo Tu mention Li Zhang's father and son just now, he was thinking about it. Li Zhang's dissatisfaction with him is likely related to his failure to redeem Yuan Tan in time.

Forget it, let's redeem him back, after all, it's father and son, and it can't be too cold. Anyway, he has already been captured, and it is impossible to fight for the position of concubine, and it will not affect Yuan Shang. As long as he does not have the right to inherit, the party members will not be able to make too many waves. There are also He Hao, Zhang Miao, and Mrs. Ding, it is a trouble to stay in the hands of Sun Ce. Zhang Chao and Cao Ang had reasons not to fight Sun Ce, and he sent people to ransom him, which could be regarded as fulfilling the righteousness of the monarch and ministers. If Sun Ce refuses, he can also put the blame on Sun Ce.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Pingyu immediately."

Guo Tu was inexplicably overjoyed. He had been planning for this matter for a long time, and finally waited for a suitable opportunity to speak, and with Yuan Shao's permission, he was very excited. Since Yuan Tan was captured, He Hao was imprisoned by Sun Ce, and Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others left one after another, the Ruying family was in danger of collapse, and he was under too much pressure. However, he did not give up, worked hard, and finally came to the end of his hardships, and saw the dawn of the revival of the Ruying system.

Once Yingchuan was taken, a large number of Yingchuan people entered the Yuan Shao shogunate, and Yingchuan Tuntian became Yuan Shao's granary, and the prosperity of the Ruying system was just around the corner.

Hebei gentlemen, take a good look at it from the side.

Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu's joy in his eyes, but he didn't break it. The Ru Ying faction has been suppressed for too long, and it is not good for the balance of power, so it needs to be promoted. The Jizhou system is too inflated and needs to be suppressed. Imperial art is nothing more than a trade-off.

——

Although Yuan Shao accepted Guo Tu's suggestion, he did not announce it immediately, and he discussed it with Fu Zhu and Tian Feng several times to inquire about the situation of money and grain raising. Although Fu Zhu and Tian Feng strongly advocated marching from the Eastern Front, and the trial also agreed with this policy, as soon as it was mentioned to aid Yanzhou, the matter ended in nothing, and no one was willing to pay. The war is imminent, who wants to have the money not to equip their own troops, and use it to aid Yanzhou in vain.

Frustration and Tian Feng are weak, they are very smart, but the family strength is average, even if they donate all the family property, it will be a drop in the bucket. The trial and the others refused to donate, and the problem in Yanzhou could not be solved. In the end, there was no way, Guo Tu and Xun Yan came forward, discussed with Zhen Yan and others, raised some grain, grass and medicine, and sent people to Yanzhou to temporarily stabilize Cao Ang.

Zhen Yan and other people in northern Hebei are not familiar with the geography of the Central Plains, and when they heard Guo Tu say that there are many swamps at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, they are reluctant to do so. In addition, they have always been at odds with the people of southern Hebei, and when they heard that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu both suggested taking the eastern front, they all expressed their opposition.

Just when the two sides were at a standstill, Xu You sent news: Liu He arrived in Youzhou, met with Zhang Ze, and received the unanimous support of Liu Yu's former officials such as Xian Yufu, and even the three counties Karasuma Shan Yu sent people to congratulate him. After repeated consultations, Zhang accepted Yuan Shao's request and appointed Liu He as the Taishou of Zhuo County. After the appointment was issued, the Yan Rou brothers rushed to Zhuojun with 10,000 Han Hu infantry cavalry to pay allegiance to Liu He, and several Wuhuan Shan Yu were also selecting men and horses, and preliminary statistics showed that there were at least 3,000 cavalry.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed. Liu He was appointed to guard Zhuojun too much, which was equivalent to protecting his heart for him, even if Gongsun Zhan had any plans, Liu He could block him. With 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry, plus the Hun cavalry and the cavalry in his hands, it is still possible to get together 10,000 elite cavalry. With such an obvious cavalry advantage in hand, there is no need to take the eastern front, take Junyi, and drive straight into the heart of Yuzhou, this is the best choice.

On the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, receiving such good news one after another, Yuan Shao is full of expectations for the future. He felt that this was a good sign, next year would be his half-hundredth year, and it would be a good start to defeat Sun Ce and seize the Central Plains in the year when he was about to enter the second half of his life.

——

Wax Day.

After Sun Ce participated in the sacrifice, he accompanied Chen Dao, who had just arrived in Pingyu, to watch Dada. This year has just experienced a major epidemic, so the epidemic is particularly grand and lively, almost moving in the city, and thousands of people are empty. Taishou Zhang Zhao personally presided over, as soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the young man wearing a mask and pretending to be a demon rushed out, and one hundred and twenty boys selected from the county school and the wood school and the workshop wore red curtains and held a big mole, while dancing, chanting the slogan of exorcism of ghosts, and began the three-week procession of the city.

Sun Ce stood on the wall of the inner city, watched the procession gradually move away, turned to Chen Zhi and said, "How does it feel to go home?" ”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "I'm a little ashamed to be in vain, I hope I can be at ease when I come back next time." ”

Sun Ce laughed. Chen Zhi has been a Danyang Taishou for two years, and it is not very smooth. One is that he has no experience, and those government affairs give him a headache. The second came to see Sun Ce fighting everywhere, and the good news was frequent, but he was sitting and watching in Danyang, somewhat disappointed. After all, he is young and a martial artist, and at this time he still likes to gallop on the battlefield and charge into battle, and he doesn't like to be entangled in official business. So this time, when he heard that Shen You was going north to fight, he was so moved that he took the opportunity to report on his work and rushed to Pingyu, met Sun Ce, and asked to go on the expedition.

"Have you been in contact with Shen Zizheng?"

"By letter, but never met. He's busy, and I can't get out there. ”

"Then have you heard that he has a guard riding by his side?"

"No, Wu County doesn't have so many war horses, right?" Chen Zhi said: "I heard that Yu Changshi transferred all the horses to the post post. ”

"In the past, he was stationed in Qu'a, and it was enough to have more than ten riders around him, of course, there was no need for special guards to ride. Now that he is fighting in the north, he may have to fight against Yuan Shao, how can he do it without a personal guard. I have prepared three hundred horses for him, and I should be able to build a guard of two hundred men. If there are fewer people, will you be wronged too much? ”

"No, it won't." Chen Zhi blurted out. "General, as long as you can let me go into battle, even if I am an ordinary knight, I am willing." He smiled sheepishly. "I am satisfied to be one of the thirteen horsemen by the general's side. Otherwise, if the general chooses another meritorious person to cooperate with General Shen, I will still stay by the general's side. ”

Sun Ce smiled and shook his hand. "If you want to come to me, of course I can't ask for it. However, Shen Zizheng is just entering the battle formation, and he needs an experienced personal guard who will protect him. You have the experience of commanding the guards and the experience of being a guard, and you are the most suitable person. ”

"Okay." Chen Zhi was a little reluctant, but he was grateful in his heart. Sun Ce said this, which was a great trust in him, which was equivalent to handing over Shen You's life to him. He felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but more than that, he was excited, no matter what, he must not live up to General Sun's trust.

"Oh, by the way, Jun Cheng Ganyan asked me for something."

"What's the matter?"

Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment. "Tao Gongzu left a will before he died, hoping that Gan Yan would marry the general and marry his daughter Gan Mei to the general."

Sun Ce frowned. "This Tao Gongzu is really eventful, he is not at ease when he dies, and he is still in the mood to pull media for me?"
