Chapter 245: Alliance
Qiao's mother said: Shimin, we want to accompany our daughter in Yecheng for a few days and then return to Huainan. I wonder if the people of the world can send us back? Qiao Cheng wanted to speak, but Qiao's mother stopped her with her eyes. In fact, she was testing Zhang Jie's attitude towards them, whether she said one thing and did another.
Zhang Jie thought for a while and said: Don't hide it from your mother-in-law, you can't go back for the time being. From now on, you will live in Yecheng!
Mother-in-law: Why is that?
Yuan Shu sent Yang Hong to pick you up in Yecheng, but he didn't have a good heart. If I let you go back, he'll threaten me with you. That's why he didn't threaten me this time, because he hoped that I owed him a favor. He knew that the people of the world had always done what they said. If you have the chance, you will definitely return the favor.
Yuan Shu is at the end of his rope, and his death is approaching. Therefore the people of the world cannot let you go on adventures. Moreover, you have two daughters, and the people of the world have married their sisters, who are your sons. In the future, I will also keep you by my side to fulfill your filial piety.
The people of the world know that you have come in a hurry, and you have brought no possessions. But don't worry. If you are willing to live in the house, Jay will have a few rooms vacated for you to live in. If you don't like living here, Jay will buy you a house outside.
There is also the fact that I know that my father-in-law is full of poetry and full of economy. The Shimin Academy in Yecheng was opened by the Shimin. Now there are more than 1,000 students. Shimin wanted to ask his father-in-law to teach at the deceased academy. I don't know what my father-in-law wants? First, let's pass the time, and second, I can be regarded as a talent for the people of the world!
In the future, when the people of the world sweep away the troubled times, it is not too late for Yuezhang to return to Huainan by then!
Teaching? The old man has never taught!
Joe fair.
Hehe, it's not easy to teach a few students with the talent of a father-in-law.
What do you think of this?
Xiao Qiao immediately said: Father, Shimin is right, you can't go back, what if you go back and let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao catch them all the way? What will they do when they use you to threaten the people? Is it possible to let the people of the world also learn from Gaozu to get a piece of the pie? Isn't this trapping the people of the world in unfilial piety?
All right! The old man promised the people, and the old man stayed in Yecheng to teach. But you don't have to live in the house, you can find a small yard for the old man outside. Keep it simple. Joe fair.
Good! That being the case, Jie will arrange it in a while.
Xuzhou Langya country (county) governance, Kaiyang City. (Linyi City)
Cheng Yu came to Yuan Shao with the intention of forming an alliance against Zhang Jie.
At first, Yuan Shao thought that Cheng Yu was coming to surrender. Almost no one killed him.
Ming Gong, my lord sent Yu to say peace with the two families. Formed an alliance to resist Zhang Jie in Hebei.
Strike the army and make peace? Hahahaha. Cao Apu, Cao Apu. I knew you were a shameless person. Growing up, I've never seen anyone more shameless than you. How can we make peace when we are all like this? He figured it out? It won't make Zhang Jie stupid, right? Yuan Shao Avenue.
To tell the truth, in the battle of Pengcheng, our side also suffered heavy losses. Now Zhang Jie is eyeing the tiger. It is possible to go south at any time. If we can't form an alliance between the two sides. will let Zhang Jie break each one. The cold Ming Gong won't know about the dead lips, right? Cheng Yu said.
Why did you go earlier? Zhang Jie is outside the Yanmen Pass, he does not unite, and now that Zhang Jie has pacified Xianbei, he thinks of forming an alliance. It's a pity that we still have a lot of people? Yuan Shao said angrily.
Xu Youdao: How can we prove the sincerity of Cao Gong's alliance? It won't be a fight if you win, and an alliance if you can't win, right? Besides, how do we know if your alliance is a ploy!
My lord is willing to return Xiapi to the Ming Duke. I don't know what to do? Cheng Yu said.
Hum! I can go and get Xiapi at any time, and if Meng De is really sincere in forming an alliance, he will withdraw from Xuzhou and return all Xiapi Pengcheng to me.
What is the use of me if I only return Xiapi? You only need to dig a hole in Surabaya and go down to Pi. How can I be at ease?
Ming Gong's words are serious, and my lord has never thought of flooding. I don't know why Ming Gong thinks so?
Hehe, Meng De and I have been friends since childhood, how can I not know what he thinks?
Meng De sent Mr. to Kaiyang to form an alliance with me, I can agree, but I must take back Xuzhou. If Meng De is unwilling to return it, I will take it. Don't hide from Mr. Xuzhou, which is a place of money and grain. If I lose Xuzhou, how can I raise soldiers? Yuan Shaodao.
Please forgive Ming Gong, if I give up Xiapi Pengcheng to Ming Gong like this, how can my lord explain to his soldiers?
Moreover, Yuzhou and Yanzhou are not rich, such as giving Pengcheng to Ming Gong. Our army didn't get anything, this can't be justified, right? Cheng Yu said.
So how can Meng De be willing to give up Xuzhou? Yuan Shao asked rhetorically.
Before Yu came, my lord was only willing to give up Xiapi, if Yuan Gong let us let Peng Chengyu be the master, even if Yu went back, my lord would not agree.
Please don't forget, how to say that the battle of Pengcheng was also our victory, and my lord let Xia Pi out of the Ming Dynasty also because of his friendship with Ming Gong for many years, and for the sake of the alliance between the two sides and taking into account the overall situation.
If Ming Gong thinks that my lord is willing to give up Xia Pi is weak and can be bullied, then it is a big mistake.
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: Mr. Zhongde can go down to rest first, and he wants to discuss it with everyone. Reply again with you.
So in the next retirement.
After Cheng Yu left, Yuan Shao summoned several strategists to discuss.
Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with me to deal with Zhang Jie together, and is willing to give up Xiapi, how do you think I should reply?
Guo Tudao: The lord can't agree, the most important thing in Xuzhou is Xiapi and Pengcheng. If only Xiapi is returned, Cao Cao will occupy the gateway to Xuzhou. As long as there is an opportunity, it can attack the hinterland of Xuzhou. Moreover, Xiapi is in danger of Surabaya, which is already difficult to defend. Cao Cao is currently under-armed to give way to Pi. When he recruits new soldiers, he will station heavy troops in Pengcheng. It will be even more difficult to recover Pengcheng at that time! So now is the best time to let Cao Cao give up Pengcheng.
Of course, Yuan Shao knew the importance of Peng Cheng. But Cao Cao didn't let him, and he couldn't help it for a while.
At this time, Chen Lin said: Cao Cao planned to form an alliance with the lord in the face of Zhang Jie's military might. In fact, he was reluctant to give up Xuzhou, a land of money and grain.
Why didn't the lord exchange some of the money and grain with Cao Cao for Peng Cheng?
Peng Cheng was not particularly important to Cao Cao. And Pengcheng is the gateway to Xuzhou for the lord, and it cannot be lost. Cao Cao, Yuzhou, Yanzhou are not very rich, has always lacked money and food, if the lord is willing to give some money and food, Cao Cao should be able to give in.
Yuan Shao nodded. And I didn't make a sound.
Ziyuan, what do you think?
Xu You saw Yuan Shao and asked him by name? Stood up and laughed.
The subordinates congratulate the lord first, and Xuzhou will return to the lord immediately.
As Brother Kong Zhang (Chen Linzi) said, it would be best if Cao Cao could accept a little money and food and let out Pengcheng. If you don't want to give in, it doesn't matter. From Cao Cao sending an envoy to form an alliance, it can be seen that he intended Zhang Jie, but in fact, he basically gave up Xuzhou. refusing to let Peng Cheng go is just that he can't get over this hurdle in his heart for a while. After all, taking Pengcheng cost tens of thousands of soldiers' lives.
