"There was no suggestion, and even Cao Cao's decision to give away the land was my guess, because Xu Gongming only wrote in his letter that Cao Cao ordered his troops to attack separately, while Cao Cao himself was guarding the state and county to prevent us from intervening."

Pei Qing shook his head after finishing speaking, he didn't expect things to develop to this point.

However, I saw Zhang Chao smile faintly and said: "Hey, this is not General Xu's style at all, if it is his usual habit, he will definitely give us an analysis of Cao Cao's intention to do this and the precautions we should have, but this letter does not say much, so I dare to expect that although the person who wrote this letter is General Xu on the surface, it should actually be from someone else." ”

Pei Qing immediately understood when he heard this, and snorted softly: "This old fox always doesn't want to come out, but this also means that he has already made plans, I don't know what his plans are?" You can guess together. ”

"Haha, then let me guess first", Lou Gui spoke first, and said lightly: "Since he didn't suggest stopping Cao Cao's move to send troops, and he didn't take corresponding action, it proves that he didn't intend to do it in the first place." ”

"Well, what else?" Pei Qing nodded, but of course he would not be satisfied with this alone, so he continued to ask.

Xun You also smiled and said: "I didn't plan to do this, which means that Cao Cao was allowed to do this, although this result looks scary, but in fact it is not terrible." ”

Pei Qing glanced at Xun Yu thoughtfully, and then asked, "Oh? Can Gongda talk about it, and why it's not scary? ”

Xun You was also not polite, and said to Pei Qing: "Although Yuan Shao is strong, there are many problems, although Gongsun Chan is defeated, but the threat is still there, now Yuan Shao and Liu Yu are united, and Gongsun Chan can still be restrained, but once Yuan Shao leaves, I am afraid that Liu Yu will be difficult to resist Gongsun Chan's attack, in addition, the Montenegrin army has not been completely pacified, and Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, is also in alliance with Gongsun Zhan, in this case, if Yuan Shao dares to leave Jizhou, I am afraid that when he returns, the whole Jizhou will be in danger, so there is no need to worry at all, At least in the short term, he will not be a threat to us. ”

Pei Qing nodded when he heard this, although at first when he thought of Cao Cao to unite with Yuan Shao, Pei Qing's heart was a little nervous, but slowly, Xun You also thought of what he thought.

However, Pei Qing wanted more than that, so he asked Hu Zhao and Zhang Chao: "I don't know what Mr. Kong Ming and Zi think about this?" ”

Hu Zhao looked at Zhang Chao and first said: "Under the rule of Yuan Shao's internal and external troubles, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the most important point is that Yuan Shao's character is flawed, indecisive, and slow to react. ”

Zhang Chao nodded and said: "That's right, if Yuan Shao doesn't want Hanoi, it is a clear choice, if he really accepts it, sooner or later he will be dragged down by this matter, and Cao Cao is now unstable in the rear, Lu Bu is eyeing us, and it is impossible for him to send troops to deal with us in a short time, and by the time he solves the trouble, we will already have enough strength to deal with him." ”

Pei Qing also nodded when he heard this, and said with a faint smile: "The idea of the princes coincides with me, Yuan Shao of Jizhou regards himself as the third prince of the fourth world, relying on his subordinates to seek good generals, and does not respect the king's life for a long time, I am thinking of having the opportunity to crusade against him, if he is smart, it is better not to go to the land of Hanoi, otherwise there will definitely be a time when he regrets it in the future, and this is it, this time to occupy the wild king, kill the traitor Yang Feng and Zhenggu, Xu Gongming has made great contributions, and the people are strong Chang Chun, Pan Feng and Mu Shun have also made great contributions, and Chang Lin is the mastermind in this, and that Chen Yanbi, if it weren't for his prestige, things would be difficult to achieve, and for these meritorious people, we must also reward meritorious deeds. ”

Then Pei Qing ordered that Chang Chun, Chang Lin, Pan Feng, Mu Shun and Chen Yanbi should go to Chang'an first, and he would reward them for their merits and deeds in person.

"What? Could it be that some of these people are going to take the elixir again? After hearing the news, even Xun You and Hu Zhao were a little envious in their hearts, they had never encountered such an encounter so far.

Pei Qing naturally saw the thoughts of the two of them, and said with a faint smile: "Kong Ming, Gongda, the two of you have been by my side for many years, and I have entrusted you with confidants, so naturally I have absolute trust, but the two of you are already peerless sages in the world, and it is difficult to go further, not that I am unwilling to give you the elixir, I am afraid that the elixir will have a limited effect on you, but I have another medicine here, which can make you improve in terms of army command, internal affairs or talents, but only one of these aspects can be improved, You are free to choose one, and I will give you a miracle medicine to help you grow. ”

"W-that's true?" Xun You and Hu Zhao were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, they thought about it for a while, and then expressed their wishes, Xun You first spoke: "If there is chaos today, although the lower officials have wisdom and strategy, they only hate that they are not capable of commanding the army and horses, and they are worried about the lord. ”

And Hu Zhao said calmly: "Xiaguan doesn't like to be lively in his life, he likes the way of learning the most, if he can study knowledge and teach disciples like Zhou Dunyi in the future, then Xiaguan will be satisfied." ”

"Gongda can share my worries, I am very relieved, Kong Ming is indifferent to fame and fortune, and at the same time enthusiastic about lecturing, but also very admirable, please rest assured, I will try my best to meet your requirements, tonight, Kong Ming and come to my account to talk, ugly time, please come to my account."

"Thank you lord, the lower officials are grateful, and I am willing to smear the liver and brain of the lord, at any cost!" After hearing this, Hu Zhao and Xun Yu were suddenly full of excitement, and saluted respectfully in front of the apology.

At the same time, all the civil and military officers in the tent congratulated the two, especially Lou Gui later, who was full of envy, he had long heard that Pei Qing had this kind of panacea that could make people's abilities break through quickly, and he naturally wanted to experience it in his heart, but he knew that he was not qualified enough now, and he had to work harder to be loyal to Pei Qing if he wanted to get such an opportunity.

"Sooner or later, one day, I will also personally experience this elixir of the lord, this is no longer a desire to improve my own ability, but a performance of honor, only those who have been recognized enough by the lord can have such an opportunity." Lou Gui's heart was full of emotion, and he thought silently.
