After returning to Yuzhou, because the princess of Wannian had been successfully welcomed, she had no worries when she entered Chang'an, so Pei Qing re-discussed with his generals and soldiers to lead the army to conquer the Xiliang army and welcome back the Son of Heaven.

For this decision, most of the generals are gearing up and eager to try, because as long as they fight, they have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, this is a great opportunity for them to serve Pei Qing and make meritorious contributions, how can they easily let it go?

However, the strategists were not so enthusiastic, especially the three strategists Zhang Chao, Hu Zhao and Xun You, who were even more unanimous in silence.

Then I saw Xun You open his mouth and said: "Lord, I don't think this matter is possible, our army and Yuan Shu had a big battle before, although the battle was victorious, and Yuan Shu was completely driven out of Yuzhou, but our army's grain and grass were also extremely depleted, and the supply of materials was not sufficient, plus a county in Runan was almost equal to being established on the ruins, and the grain and grass materials consumed were extremely large, and now the treasury was empty, and the army and the people were thinking of peace, if the lord was determined to go on the expedition, I am afraid that the loss of materials would reach an unbearable level, not to mention that the surrounding forces are also eyeing each other, Yuan Shu now occupies the entire Huainan, but also occupies Danyang County in Jiangdong, since ancient Danyang out of elite soldiers, plus its command has Sun Ce and other Sun Jian old generals, its power should not be underestimated, and Cao Cao, now is recuperating and training the army, if the lord is in Yuzhou, he does not dare to give birth to any other thoughts, but once the lord leaves, the other party will definitely plot Yuzhou, at that time, it is the lord alone with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and the Xiliang army to fight. ”

Hu Zhao also deeply agreed with this, but he also said his reasons: "My lord, due to our divisive tactics before, the war between the forces of the Xiliang Army and Ma Teng Hansui broke out again, if we form an alliance to crusade against the Xiliang Army at this time, they will immediately put aside their suspicions and unite with each other to fight the enemy together, so that our previous efforts will be in vain, and they only need to explain clearly to each other, knowing that all this is due to our calculations, which will increase the hatred of the other party. Therefore, if we want to deal with Xiliang, it is not something that can be done in a hurry, it is better for the lord to take the opportunity to recuperate, and at the same time sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then add fuel to the fire at the critical moment, instigating infighting between them, and wait until they are almost infighting with each other, or when there is no possibility of reconciliation, we will unite one side to fight one side, and make a plan to kill people with a knife, so that we can enter Guanzhong at the minimum cost. ”

"Yes, my lord, Mr. Kong Ming is right, this kind of thing can't be rushed, otherwise even if it is a victory, it will be a miserable victory, and when we fight with the enemy, there will be princes from all walks of life, and that time is the most dangerous time for us, so we must not do such a thing as letting others pick the fruit."

Since Zhang Chao matched Zhang Liang's genes, he has transformed into a real top wise man, although he said few words, and most of them were summary sentences, but one sentence said the key point.

In fact, Pei Qing had already thought about such a result, and he also knew that as long as he raised this, they would definitely react like this.

But he also has to behave, on the one hand, because he is the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and now that the Son of Heaven is trapped in Chang'an, if he doesn't even say anything, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the world's scholars, and even the little emperor himself will lose hope in himself.

On the other hand, he must also use such actions to tell Princess Wannian and others that he has not forgotten the humiliation of the Son of Heaven, and is ready to attack the pass at any time and save the Son of Heaven, but it is a pity that his strength is insufficient.

In addition, he also wants to use this as a banner to gather the world's wise men and further strengthen his strength.

Of course, there is also the fourth point, he paralyzes the Xiliang army with insufficient strength, and then suddenly attacks when necessary, and the blow is fatal.

So Pei Qing "pondered" for a long time, and finally sighed, and said slowly: "The Son of Heaven treats me so kindly, but it's a pity that I, Pei Qing, actually watched him fall into the hands of thieves and couldn't do anything, since this is the case, then we will first work hard to recuperate, and wait until the strength grows in the future, and then try to make a big plan, and let the thieves be proud for a few more years, at most five years, I will raise troops to attack Chang'an, welcome back the Son of Heaven, kill the rebellious ministers and thieves, and settle the society." ”

After the meeting, Pei Qing erected banners such as "Qing Jun's side" and "Eliminate thieves for the country" in the army, saying that he was determined not to forget the king's grace in order to welcome back the Son of Heaven's will.

After the news reached Chang'an, Li Dao and Guo Yan were relieved, they were now fighting with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and they were really afraid that Pei Qing would send troops to find them trouble at this time, and now they learned that Pei Qing was powerless, and immediately congratulated with their foreheads, since Pei Qing was temporarily unable to attack, they could concentrate all their strength to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng first, as long as Han Sui and Ma Teng were defeated, they could concentrate on guarding Guanzhong, there were so many people in the Xiliang army, plus they forcibly recruited tens of thousands of people from Guanzhong, The total number of troops is almost more than 200,000, even if there is no problem in dominating the world after a few years of training, where would he be afraid of a little Pei Qing?

Besides, they can mobilize the strength of the Kwantung Army to fight against Pei Qing, at least they can divide and disintegrate the Kwantung Army, in this case, there will be endless infighting between them, where will they have time to build an alliance to deal with the Xiliang Army?

So after discussion, Li Dao decided to take the opportunity to step up the war against Ma Teng, and at the same time appointed Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong, Liu Biao as the general of Zhennan, Yuan Shu as the general of the Fuyi and the three divisions, Tao Qian as the general of Pingdong, and for Pei Qing, he only symbolically gave thousands of horses of silk as a comfort.

Cao Cao was a little disappointed after hearing the news: "This Pei Qing is really not to be underestimated, he even knows the truth that greed can't chew too much, after all, there are not many talents under his command, even if there are 100,000 male soldiers, so what?" As long as Pei Qing is not in Yuzhou, I dare to lead the army to directly attack the entire territory of Yuzhou, but unfortunately he is cautious enough, it seems that it will take some time to plot Yuzhou, since this is the case, then we will bear with it for the time being. ”

However, Cao Cao was not idle, he ordered the elite troops to prepare to conquer the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo Division, on the one hand, to expand the military strength, and on the other hand, to relieve the threat of the Southern Xiongnu to Chen Liu.

Yuan Shu had occupied the two counties of Jiujiang and Danyang at this time, with more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, and now he was fighting hard, just waiting for the opportunity to take Pei Qing to kill Chang'an and then regain the lost land, but he didn't expect Pei Qing to immediately conquer Chang'an, so on the one hand, he scolded Pei Qing for saying one thing and doing another, not worthy of being a loyal minister and prince of the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, he had to temporarily give up the plan to recover the lost land, so he quietly recalled Sun Ce and promised Sun Ce that Ziyao Sun Ce could capture Lujiang, so he worshiped him as the Taishou of Lujiang.
