Chapter VII

Cao Cao walked out of the tent and did what Guo Jia said, at this moment the flash flood broke out, the wind was strong, the rain was raining, and Cao Cao looked at the Yellow River rolling on the high mountain.

At this moment, King Yue was borrowing wine in the city to kill his sorrows, and his mood was extremely depressed, and of course he planned to open the city and surrender.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he received the surrender of Tao Qian's son: "Is there a ** in this city?" ”

Cao Ang was taken aback: "Father, I heard that General Zhongkang and Zhang Fei fought. ”

Cao Cao found Xu Chu: "Really? ”

Xu Chu wiped the blood on his body: "That's right, it's just that Zhang Fei can't defeat me and Guan Yu together, and he fled to the ancient city at this moment." ”

Cao Cao almost understood the situation and prepared to return to Xuchang.

At this moment, Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains, Yuan Shaohu was in Hebei, Gongsun Zan was in Longpan Youyan, Liu Biaodi was sitting in Jingchu, and Sun Cexiong was in Jiangdong.

Cao Cao made up his mind to fight to the death in Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect an incredible news to come - Dong Zhuo was not dead.

Dong Zhuo was named the king of Qin, held Liu Braid, occupied the queen mother, Xihe Ma Teng went south to Liu Zhang, and now if the copper wall is as solid as gold, even Cao Cao can't resist it, and even lose Luoyang and Hongnong.

Cao Cao came to Xun Yu's mansion in a panic: "Wen Ruo, it's not good, Wen Ruo." ”

"King, I'm fine!" Xun Yu put away the books on the table and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"Oops! Lu Bu did not die, Dong Zhuo did not die. Cao Cao stopped talking to Xun Yu, and hurriedly told the situation.

And Xun Yu got up abruptly and picked up the book that he had just put away, only to see that "Guiguzi" was written on it stroke by stroke.

Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing when he saw it: "If Wen Ruo wants to learn from Su Qinhu? ”

"Only the countries concerned about China can synthesize iron plates to deal with the tyrannical Qin." Xun Yu and Cao Cao said together, and the two looked at each other and let out a long inquiring smile.

On the second day, Xun Yu came to Zhao State, and Yuan Shao, the king of Zhao, was dissatisfied with the loss of Guo Jia, and it would be good if Xun Yu could be wooed.

"Sir, what are you doing here, do you want to follow Guo Fengxiao?" Yuan Shaozheng was determined to keep Xun Yu.

"Come here to add treasure to Zhao Guo, isn't it Guo Fengxiao's comparison." There are words in Xun Yu's words, which means that my talent is like a national treasure, how can he Guo Fengxiao compare.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then what treasures does Mr. have, let's hear about it." ”

Xun Yu bowed to Yuan Shao: "The king got this as a treasure below, the king obeyed the plan under this as a second treasure, and the king broke off Dong Zhuo as a third treasure." ”

Yuan Shao immediately ordered the envoy to cut off Dong Zhuo, and hurriedly asked Xun Yu: "Then what is the plan of the gentleman?" ”

Xun Yu clenched his fists and went south: "There are fierce generals and capable ministers under the command of the king, and the male soldiers are high, but they are less than one-sixth of Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo occupies Xichuan, and the north rejects Liangzhou, and becomes the trend of Western Qin. ”

Yuan Shao also understood: "Then Mr. is going to join forces this time!" ”

Xun Yu clasped his fists and was silent.

Yuan Shao immediately got up: "Worship Xun Yu as the prime minister of Zhao Guo, lead the Marquis of Yingchuan, eight hundred households." ”

Xun Yu knelt on the ground to thank him, due to the remoteness of the Yan Kingdom, Xun Yu did not count on Gongsun Zhan, he went to Jinyang to prepare to persuade Zhang Yan.

Xun Yu first analyzed the advantages of the Jin State: the terrain was solid, the army was hundreds of thousands, and he was good at smelting weapons; Then state the disadvantages of submitting to the Qin state: serving the Qin state, the Qin will inevitably ask for the cession of Yiyang and Chenggao, once agreed, the Qin state will become even worse, the land is limited, the desire of the Qin state is unlimited, and the day of destruction is not far away; In the end, Xun Yu said: The king is so wise, and the army is so strong, but he is willing to live in the Qin State, I am really ashamed of the king!

Zhang Yan's face changed greatly after hearing this, he pressed the sword in his hand, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Although I have no talent, I must not serve the Qin State." Now that King Zhao has an idea, I am willing to obey your arrangement. ”

Although the strategy was Cao Cao's idea, Xun Yu also wanted to come to the Wei State.

Xun Yu came to Wei and lobbied Cao Cao, Xun Yu first analyzed the geographical situation of Wei and pointed out: although Wei is small, it has dense farmhouses, a large population, and galloping carriages, and the national situation is comparable to that of Chu; Now serving the Qin State and paying tribute every year, once the Qin State conquers the Wei State, no one is willing to send troops to rescue it.

Then Xun Yu took the example of Goujian, the king of Yue, and the king of Wu, who won more with less, and reminded the king of Wei: Wei is strong and strong, so there is no need to be afraid of Qin; If the land is ceded to serve Qin, before the battle, the country has already lost money first, and those who advocate serving Qin are traitorous ministers, so they must make careful decisions.

Finally, he quoted the "Book of Zhou" and admonished: If you don't consider the maturity in advance, there will be great trouble in the future, if the king can follow my advice, and the six countries work together, there will be no danger of strong Qin, so the king of Zhao sent me to present the treaty of cooperation and wait for your dispatch. King Wei said: "I have never heard such wise advice, and I am willing to obey the whole country." ”

Later, Xun Yu threatened Liu Biao to submit to Sun Ce, unite the five countries, and prepare to deal with Dong Zhuo together.

Guo Jia saw Xun Yu's dominance, and he also wanted to do a career, so he said goodbye to Cao Cao and came to Yanguo.

Gongsun Zan heard that Guo Jia was here and hurriedly invited: "I heard that Mr. once went to Zhao Kingdom to write a book of ten thousand words to Zhao Jun, I really want to take a look." Now that the gentleman is with me, let's talk. ”

Guo Jia is not like Xun Yu, he is ruthless: "Yan has North Korea and Liaodong in the east, Linhu and Loufu in the north, Yunzhong and Jiuyuan in the west, Hutuo River and Yishui in the south, the land is more than 2,000 miles, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, more than 700 chariots, more than 6,000 war horses, and the grain can be eaten for ten years." There are rich real estate in Jieshi and Yanmen in the south of Yan Kingdom, and a large number of dates and chestnuts in the north. For a long time, the people of Yan Kingdom have lived and worked in peace and contentment, free from the scourge of war, does the king know why?

Wanting to compare Yuan Shao's arrogance and rudeness, Gongsun Zan was a corporal: "The widow doesn't know very well, please give me advice." ”

Guo Jia continued: "The reason why the Yan State was able to avoid the scourge of war was because the Zhao State was used as a barrier in the south. There were five wars between Qin and Zhao, and Zhao won three times, and the forces of Qin and Zhao weakened each other, while the king could recuperate, which is the reason why Yan was not violated. If the Qin State wanted to attack the Yan State, it would have to pass through the clouds of the Zhao State, Jiuyuan, Daijun, Shanggu and other places, and travel thousands of miles long distances, and the reason why the Qin State could not attack the Yan State was obvious. But then again, if Zhao attacked Yan, hundreds of thousands of troops would be able to gather here in Dongyuan (present-day Zhengding County, Hebei) within ten days. Crossing the Hutuo River and Yishui, it will not take four or five days to reach the capital of Yanguo, Jicheng (now Fangshan District, Beijing). Therefore, it is said that the Qin State will attack the Yan State thousands of miles away; And the Zhao State attacked the Yan State, but the war was within a hundred miles. It is a very serious strategic mistake not to worry about the worries within a hundred miles, but to stare at things thousands of miles away. So I hope that you can form a strategic alliance with Zhao State, and the princes will unite, and Yan State will have no worries.

Gongsun Zhan apparently agreed: "Our Yan State is weak, we are worried about a strong Qin attack in the west, and it borders Zhao Qi in the south. Qi and Zhao are both powerful among the vassal states, and now under your guidance, let me join your alliance to make our Yan Kingdom stable for a long time, and I am willing to hand over the entire country to you to arrange. ”
