Yuan Shao was not in a hurry. "Justice, why is it not appropriate?"

Guo Tu talked eloquently. "Yingchuan is the main state, and Runan is a place where the party gathers, and it should be a famous general. Although Liu He was good at fighting, his reputation was insufficient, and he was not as good as Zhang Zhao of Pengcheng appointed by Sun Ce. Not long ago, he led Hu to ride into Yuzhou, the military discipline was not strict, and there were many actions to disturb the people, and Yuzhou Shilin complained about it. Let him lead the history of Yuzhou's assassination, it is rare to have the heart of a scholar, but it may make people think that there is no one available under the lord's command. ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and was noncommittal. He also did not approve of Liu He's assassination of Yuzhou, one of the reasons was what Guo Tu said, Liu He's recent actions aroused the disgust of the Runan Shi clan, left a bad impression, and even affected him, and Liu Yu was Youzhou Mu, if Liu He controlled Yuzhou, it might not be a good thing for him. Liu Yu is unwilling to be the emperor, and Liu He may not be unwilling. Just a little bit of strength, he wants to control Xuzhou, and the strength will be stronger in the future, who knows if his ambition will be greater?

He was surprised by this suggestion, but he would not disagree with it outright. Guo Tu's rebuttal was in his arms, and he would not easily express his support. It is normal for a strategist to have opposing opinions, and it is not appropriate for him to express his position lightly, but always let both sides argue, and finally synthesize the opinions of both sides to conform to his identity.

Frustrated teaching is not impatient or impatient. "What the public rule says is very true, Liu Gongheng's reputation is indeed insufficient, and he is not the best candidate. But fame sometimes does not equal ability, the rule of peace and virtue, there is a reward function, Liu Gongheng is brave and diligent, and there is a wise man like Xun Youruo as a support, if you cooperate with tacit understanding, you can set Yuzhou. If you only focus on fame, it will inevitably be unworthy of your name and disappoint your lord. ”

A hint of anger flashed in Guo Tu's eyes. When he said this, he clearly meant that Liu Miao was in name only. Liu Miao was recommended by him, and now he was defeated by Sun Ce, and his reused general Tai Shici even became Sun Ce's subordinate, fighting in Qingzhou, causing great trouble to Yuan Xi. Of course, this cannot be said to be Yuan Shao's improper employment, it can only be said that he recommended people improperly.

"Gonghe's worries are indeed reasonable, famous people may not be capable, capable people may not be famous, but there is one thing I can't agree with, Zhiping must be virtuous, and there is something that cannot be disregarded for reputation. There are many people in the world, can't you choose one or two people with both ability and political integrity to sit in Yuzhou, it must be Liu Gongheng? Or does Gonghe think that the lord can't pick a more suitable person than Zhang Zhao, so he can only retreat and abandon virtue and use energy? ”

Seeing Guo Tu move out of Yuan Shao to suppress the frustration, Tian Feng was very unhappy. "If the public thinks that whoever has both ability and political integrity, but can control Yuzhou, you might as well speak up."

Yuan Shao also said: "Yes, who can be qualified for the task of assassinating the history of Yuzhou?" ”

"I think the most suitable person is Shen Zhengnan (trial matching)."

Tian Feng and Fu Zhi stopped talking for a while, and exchanged glances with each other. The judge was the most important general in the Hebei system, and Guo Tu proposed him to be the assassin of Yuzhou, whether it was his own opinion or Yuan Shao's instructions, they did not know. If it is the latter, this is not a problem of the Henan battlefield, but Yuan Shao's need to make an overall adjustment, which is a matter that affects the whole body, and he cannot easily express his opinion.

Although they are all strategists, Guo Tu is undoubtedly Yuan Shao's most trusted person. There are some things that Yuan Shao is not easy to say, and Guo Tu is the spokesperson, which is Guo Tu's advantage.

Yuan Shao's heart was also moved. He is indeed a suitable candidate, he is capable, and he is a representative of Hebei people. If the judge is appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, he can not only be transferred from Hebei, but also show that he attaches great importance to the people in Hebei, killing two birds with one stone. But on second thought, he vetoed it again. The intention of this arrangement to seize the right to try and allocate troops is too obvious, and I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary speculation and affect the confidence of the Hebei scholars.

"Zhengnan has both virtue and talent, and it is more than enough to do the history of Yuzhou Thorn, but it is only big and useless. And Jizhou can't do without him, no. ”

Guo Tu didn't mind either, and smiled slightly.

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "The minister also recommended one person, Wei County is too protective of Dong Zhao." ”

Yuan Shao's eyebrows trembled, and he didn't say anything. Xin Ping was about to speak, but Guo Tu glanced at him. Seeing this, Xin Ping immediately closed his mouth. Guo Tu said: "Dong Zhao is indeed talented, but he is already the Taishou of Wei County, and it is suspected of moving to the left if he is reappointed as the assassin. The lord and the minister recommend the yin. ”

Yuan Shao bowed slightly. Although he didn't speak, judging from his expression, he very much recognized this candidate. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu did not express their opinions, but they were quite unimpressed. Yin Kui was born in the Xinye Yin clan, and it goes without saying that he is Yuan Shao's old department, and he also belongs to the Ruying lineage, so he is naturally more trusted by Yuan Shao than Dong Zhao. But his ability is too far behind Dong Zhao, and it won't play a role in Yuzhou, so I'll wait to see Guo Tu lose face when the time comes. As for the war in Henan, spring plowing is about to begin, and the rain is increasing, and it is estimated that Sun Jian and Sun Ce will not be able to support it for long, and they will soon withdraw their troops. Even if Yuan Tan loses the battle, the unlucky one is Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Bi, who has nothing to do with the Hebei people.

Seeing that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu did not object, the matter was decided. Yin Kui served as the assassin of Yuzhou, first went to Runan to contact the family, and at the same time asked Chun Yuqiong and Liu He to step up their attacks on the East China Sea, striving to control the entire Xuzhou and form an encirclement of Yuzhou.

At the end of the discussion, Guo Tu stayed at the end and discussed the details with Yuan Shao. When he went out, he saw that Xin Ping's carriage was still waiting on the opposite side, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, walked to him, and knocked on the door.

The car door opened, and Xin Ping raised his hand to invite. "The scenery outside the city is just right, go out for a walk?"

Guo Tu got into the car, closed the door, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you're not in the mood to see the scenery, right?" There is something to talk about. Worried about George? ”

"I'm not worried about him. Even if he is not as good as Guo Jia, he will not be the same, and with Xun Chen joining forces, I am very relieved. Xin Ping had a light smile on his face and looked at Guo Tu quietly. I wonder why you oppose Dong Zhao going out of Yuzhou, in terms of ability, he is much stronger than Yin Kui. When he went to Julu alone, pacified Li Kang's rebellion, Su Pan was killed, Wei County was in chaos, and he pacified Wei County, his ability is so strong, everyone knows that he went to Yuzhou, isn't it more certain? Worried about the strength of Hebei? ”

Guo Tu was not in a hurry. "Dong Zhao's ability is indeed beyond doubt, and it is indeed more suitable for him to go to Yuzhou than Yin Kui, but Dong Zhao has one of the biggest weaknesses, and it is decided that the lord will not agree to this suggestion."

"What weakness?"

"Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong Wan is in Zhang Miao's army."

Xin Ping was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. He slapped his forehead. "Gongzhi, if it weren't for you, I would have almost made a big mistake again." He laughed twice and sighed again. "This is really a mistake, who would have thought that the main guild and Zhang Miao would have a gap, Zhang Miao and the lord are close friends. Justice, I always feel that this is a mistake, you have the opportunity to persuade the lord, the relatives are painful, the enemy is fast, it is definitely not the wise man's doing. ”

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Guo Tu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhongzhi, if this is the case, just say it in front of me, and you must not mention it in front of the lord, otherwise no one will be able to save you." ”

Xin Ping sneered. "Why, this has become the lord's scales, and I can't mention it? If you know how, why bother in the first place. ”

Guo Tu raised his eyelids and stared at Xin Ping, without saying a word.
