Back in town. Wang Lei still follows the way of placing Lu Xun. Put Zhuge Liang in the house.

So. His house. All of a sudden, it became lively. Hu Zhao took Sima Yi to live in the mansion. Pound Gong is also in the house. plus Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang who lived in. Four people who rose to prominence at the conference of the Word. It's all in one go. But. The courtyards where the four people live are not together. respectively in different places.

Wang Lei placed four people. Finally relieved.

Back to the study. Wang Lei still couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

These demonic talents. all gathered under his command

Then. Guo Jia came to the study. Yu reported: "Lord. The news from the front with open jaws. Yuan Shao of Bohai County has moved. Now. Yuan Shao is dispatching troops. I'm ready to move again."

Wang Lei nodded. He asked, "What are the plans of the Qilin Pavilion?"

Guo Jia said: "I gathered the members of the Qilin Pavilion. After deliberation. It was decided to focus on defense at this stage. No counter-offensive for the time being."

Wang Lei raised his eyebrows. "Reason."

Guo Jia replied, "First. Jia Xu is in charge of Jizhou's intelligence. According to the current feedback message. For Bohai County and even the rest of the places under Yuan Shao's control. Penetration is not enough. It will take some time to prepare."

"Second. Gongsun Chan in the north, Cao Cāo in the south, and even Li Ru in the west have not yet handled the situation, and if they want to start a war, they must not have worries."

"Third. Jizhou has just accepted countless talents. These civil and military officials. Just appointed to the counties or rushed into the army. It also takes some time to digest. can be transformed into the power of Jizhou."

"Fourth. The conference continues to this day. It's already late summer. It won't take long. It's going to be autumn. The weather is getting cooler. After winter. Not good for war."

Guo Jia talked eloquently. Said: "Combining the above four reasons. We decided unanimously. For the time being, it is mainly defensive. After opening the chun next year. Began to launch a war to exterminate Yuan Shao."

Wang Lei fell into deep thought. Think carefully about the decision submitted by the Kirin Pavilion.

To solve Yuan Shao. You can't succeed by starting a war out of nowhere. A battle. Everything is involved. Among them. It's not just food, weapons, and so on. The Art of War says. Defeat before winning. Wang Lei wants to prepare for battle. Naturally, it should be well thought out. Moreover. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. It is necessary to be well prepared.

To start a war to destroy Yuan Shao. You can't rush into battle. Defensive strategy. Correct at this stage.

"Come on. Please come to the study." Wang Lei commanded.

"No."

Outside the study. The soldier went to give the order.

Wang Lei nodded. Said: "The Qilin Pavilion has decided to start a war after opening next year. This decision. I agree. But. During this period. There's still a lot to do. No time can be wasted."

Guo Jia said, "Please command."

Wang Lei commanded: "Qilin Pavilion is responsible for the planning of the war. A detailed offensive plan must be prepared. And at this stage, Yuan Shao's army is coming. How to defend it. All. Must be prepared completely. It can't be a hasty defense anymore."

"Understood."

Guo Jia nodded.

The two kept talking about what was going to come next. Guo Jia remembered them one by one in his heart.

Soon. Jia Xu came to the study.

After Jia Xu sat down. Said: "My lord. What are the commands?"

Wang Lei said: "The matter of fighting with Yuan Shao. Intelligence infiltration. It still needs to be hurried. Secondly. Increase your efforts to collect news from Yuan Shao. From now on. One after another in our area. and the area where Yuan Shao is located. Spread Yuan Shao's various evil deeds. Since you want to destroy Yuan Shao. It must be a cutting no-path. Make sure that the people want it."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "The lord arranges. The subordinate must make proper arrangements." There was a pause. Jia Xu said: "Lord. One more thing. It's about Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan."

"What's wrong?" Wang Lei asked.

Jia Xu said: "I received the news before ri. Cao Cāo learned that Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan were imprisoned in Ye County. Someone has been sent to find out the situation of the two. Cao cāo knows that he is at a loss. Personally bring someone into East County. Arrived at the border between Ye County and Yanzhou. Please come to the meeting. Discuss the matter of Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan."

The corners of Wang Lei's mouth rose. Said: "Is Cao Cāo here? Very good. But. I'm not going to go to the border to negotiate."

Jia Xu said: "What does the lord mean."

Wang Lei's eyes were sharp. Dao: "Send someone to the border. Inform Cao Cāo. I am waiting for him in Ye County."

Jia Xu frowned and said, "Let Cao Cāo go deep into Jizhou. Will he come?"

Guo Jia couldn't help but nodded. Said: "Today's Cao Cāo is not the former Dongjun Taishou, it is already the history of Yanzhou's assassination, although Yanzhou is not as good as Jizhou, but Cao Cāo is also a hegemon. Let Cao Cāo come to Ye County, I'm afraid it's impossible. Moreover, for his own safety, I'm afraid Cao Cāo won't put himself in danger."

Wang Lei shook his head. "No. I believe that Cao Cāo will come to Ye County. Although he changed from the Taishou of Dongjun to the Yanzhou Thorn History. It's just a change of position. People haven't changed. That heart. It hasn't changed."

Jia Xu is still not hopeful. I want to persuade Wang Lei.

After all. At present, Jizhou needs Cao Cāo, and the two sides cannot become mortal enemies because of the matter between Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan.

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves. "Go ahead. That's it."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other. Quite helpless. I had to respectfully retreat.

Wang Lei sat alone in the room. He muttered: "Yuan Shao, Cao Cāo, plus Gongsun Zan in the north, are really war-torn, and it is not easy to fight."

……

East City. Cheng Yu's residence.

in the hall. Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan sat opposite each other.

Cheng Yu had a worried look on his face. said: "Just now. Wang Lei's people came with the news. Lord for us. Already personally at the border. I want to negotiate with Wang Lei. But. Wang Lei did not agree to the lord's request. He even asked the lord to come to Ye County to negotiate in person. This time. The two of us are really causing a lot of trouble for the lord."

Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists. said hatefully: "Wang Lei, this guy. It's just an unfamiliar white sheep. Think about it at the beginning. Jizhou was besieged by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan. There is no food resistance. Thanks to the Lord's support. Wang Lei was able to solve the crisis. Now. Wang Lei imprisoned us. In order to threaten the lord to come to Ye County. It's disgusting."

"Abominable indeed."

Cheng Yu gritted his teeth with hatred. There was also a pang of shame in my heart. This time I came to Ye County. It is to recruit talents for Cao Cāo. But not only did they not recruit talent. Instead, put yourself in it.

Xiahou Yuan said: "Zhong Degong. We can't sit still."

Cheng Yu was taken aback. Hurriedly said: "Miaocai. Don't be impulsive. With the lord's xing. Will definitely come to Jizhou. If we come nonsense at this time. Wouldn't it make the lord more passive? In my opinion. Or wait and see what happens. I listened to the soldiers stationed around the house chatting. Yuan Shao has already been stupid. So inferred. Wang Lei and Yuan Shao are about to have a big battle. Such a case. Wang Lei can't do anything with us. Don't act rashly just yet."

Xiahou Yuan sighed lightly. I had to nod my head in agreement. Fourth Update;
