After making up his mind, Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll transfer 100,000 troops." But for the sake of safety, I will leave the Titan Python for you, you must always pay attention to the situation in Guandu, once the two Xiahou withdraw, you can take advantage of the situation to march, seize Guandu, and extend our defense area for hundreds of miles. However, Puyang must leave a heavy army. ”

"The last will obey."

Gao Ran had already had a plan to lure the enemy and wanted to capture Guandu. It's just that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are too cunning and refuse to be fooled, resulting in him not making an inch of success during this time.

"My lord, Mr. Fu is here..." Gao Ran reminded him.

Yuan Xi looked up and saw that Fu Zhu was holding a lot of official documents and hurriedly entered the lobby.

"Mr. Fu, it's so late, you haven't slept yet?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"Didn't the lord sleep too?" Frustrated Zhu walked in front of Yuan Xi, presented a large stack of official documents, and said: "This is an official document sent by the Jizhou Government in the past two months. ”

"What kind of official document, can't you still be the master?"

Yuan Xi picked up one casually.

This is a document sent by Wuhuan in the north, sincerely apologizing for the previous war, and then saying that Wuhuan has no harvest due to a great drought, and the production of cattle and sheep is very small, and the people of Wuhuan have no food to eat.

He wanted to take gold, silver, and jade to buy grain in Youzhou.

After Yuan Xi finished reading it, he said in frustration: "The Wuhuan tribe of Badun is indeed in trouble. According to the reports of the generals stationed on the Great Wall, for nearly a year, Xianbei and Wuhuan fought almost every day. Xianbei wanted to annex Wuhuan and feed his tribe. In order to protect himself, Wuhuan armed more than 60,000 horsemen, and after a year of fighting, there was not much left. The current Wuhuan is almost all old and weak, and even the war horses will be exhausted. ”

"I want to take refuge in the lord again and get the protection of the lord, I don't know what the lord means?"

"Badun..." Yuan Xi looked slightly angry and snorted: "Back then, he also said that he would take refuge and set up a righteous army, what was the result?" With Xianbei and Goguryeo, they gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and invaded Youzhou. If I help him, won't I raise a tiger for trouble? ”

"What the lord said is very true."

Frustrated with deep thoughts.

Yuan Xi asked suspiciously: "Since you know that I won't agree to it, why do you bother to ask again?" Just reject him, isn't it? ”

Frustrated replied: "Lord, this matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"Why isn't it easy?"

"At present, the lord and Cao thief are fighting, and the winner has not yet been decided. How long this war will last, no one knows. At such a time, how can you make a foreign enemy? If we refuse to do so, will he invade Youzhou? Of course, he no longer has the strength. However, Xianbei and Xiongnu, the forces of several parties combined, there are still hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen... ”

"Didn't you say that they were at war?" Yuan Xi asked.

He smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, it is common for the northern aliens to divide and merge, they have been fighting for hundreds of years, when have they ever stopped?" Once fundamental interests are involved, they will unite. ”

"What do you mean... Even if you want to reject Wu Huan, it shouldn't be at this time. ”

"Well, you're right." Yuan Xi thought for a moment and said: "You immediately replied to the stubborn one, saying that I led the army to fight in the Central Plains and could not handle political affairs, and you could not be the master, so this matter must be dealt with only after the war in the Central Plains is over." ”

"Yes."

Frustrated with a slight bow.

"The rest of the official documents, you can roughly talk about it." Yuan Xi threw the official document to Fu Zhi again. It's not that he's lazy, it's just that the official document is too long and there are too many statements, which seems to be more troublesome.

"Your Ministers obey."

Fu Zhu had already memorized the content of the official document in his heart, and said at this time: "Yecheng Juyi reported that Yuan Shang left Yecheng five days ago and went to Youzhou. Juyi sent troops to intercept him, trying to bring him back, but he was a step too late. Yuan is still nowhere to be found. Regarding Yuan Shang's disposition, the lord has always held a vague attitude, and our officials dare not criticize him too much. Ju Yi sent a letter asking whether to notify the counties of Youzhou and arrest Yuan Shang. ”

"What are you doing with him?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Don't forget, the lord, Chun Yuqiong is the governor of Goguryeo, and he is in charge of the state in Bingzhou, and there are also high-ranking cadres, and he leads heavy troops to garrison Yanmen Pass. In case Yuan Shang instigated them to rebel, it would be inconvenient for us. Is it laissez-faire? Or arrest Yuan Shang, this winner has an idea. ”

"I really don't let me worry..." Yuan Xi muttered.

"Forgive the minister bluntly, Yuan Shang is obedient on the surface, but his heart is unpredictable, he must not be willing to be defeated by the state, sooner or later he will rebel, why should the lord be soft-hearted?" When he said this, he scratched his neck: "It's better to..." ”

"Kill him? I'm afraid the world will criticize me. ”

Fu Zhi chuckled and said, "Throughout the ages, but among the high-ranking and powerful people, which one is not stained with blood on his hands?" This blood includes not only enemies, but also their own relatives. Compared with pacifying the world and creating eternal achievements, what is his Yuan Shang's life? As for the criticism of the world... The lord doesn't have to worry about it, one thing, if the king becomes the king or loses, who dares to criticize the king? Second, Chen Lin can be asked to write an essay to praise the Lord and refute those with ill intentions. ”

"I want to think about this matter again, you can send an order to Shi Chendeng, the governor of Youzhou, to pay close attention to Yanmen Pass and Goguryeo. Then let Ju Yi send some more detailed work to monitor the state. Everything will be said when the war is over. Yuan Xi said.

"The lord still doesn't want to kill Yuan Shang?"

"I said, this matter is very important, I have to think about it again." Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can continue to report." ”

"Yes."

Fu Zhu continued: "The next thing that the lord must not have thought of. Cao Cao discovered an oil field in Luoyang, which is being secretly excavated, and the number is very large, after our people learned the news, they wanted to blow up the oil field, but they did not succeed. Even the people were forbidden to enter or leave. ”

"Oilfield?" Yuan Xi couldn't help but be shocked.

Exploration of oil fields with modern technology, until the twenty-first century, there were only a dozen pieces. And the people of the late Han Dynasty were able to discover one after another, just like the rotten streets of the oil field.

It's just incredible.

"How many troops does Luoyang have now?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Luoyang's troops are not many, but we can't get in. Like Tiger Pass, Guangcheng Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass, only a few thousand soldiers and horses are needed to hold it firmly. In addition, Cao Cao has a magic machine battalion, a large number of homemade liquor bombs, and an inexhaustible supply of fire oil, even if the lord goes to the city in person and lets the giant beast attack the city, he may not be able to make a contribution, besides... We also don't have the extra forces to attack Luoyang. ”

"yes..."

Yuan Xi's heart couldn't help but worry.

The previous battle with Yuan Shang in Bingzhou was because he sent people to destroy Yuan Shang's fire oil depot in advance, resulting in Yuan Shang not having time to use fire oil urgently, and Bingzhou was fully captured. Now Cao Cao has discovered the oil field in Luoyang, which is the place where Cao Cao's defense is the strongest, and it is also his big rear, and it is really difficult to capture there.
