Yuan Shao originally thought that Pei Qing would run out of food in two months at most, but after two months, Pei Qing's response did not move at all, which made him very surprised in his heart, because this was a little different from his plan.

"Could it be that this Pei Qing actually has another way to solve the food problem? But how is this possible? Yuan Shao's heart gradually felt a little uneasy, because he had no bottom of Pei Qing's information.

However, Yuan Shao didn't believe that Pei Qing would have any solution to the food crisis, so he insisted that Pei Qing's current calmness must be pretended, but in fact, Pei Qing must have fallen into a crisis.

And at this moment, I saw Guo Tu come to report, saying that he had caught a Pei Qingjun in the fine work, and found a letter from it, this letter was a letter to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu for help, the letter said that Pei Qingjun in the grain and grass was insufficient, hoping that Liu Yu could lend him 300,000 pieces of grain and grass, and after the harvest in the coming year, he promised a profit of 30%.

Yuan Shao was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Hehe, I know that Pei Qing must have no food, the reason why there is no movement in his city must be a trick used by Pei Qing's children, it seems to be calm, but in fact, it has already been turbulent, and now I guessed it, Pei Qing's army has no food, and it will not take much time to lead the army to retreat, so it seems that we are very hopeful for the New Year in Luoyang, Gongzhi, you have made a great contribution this time." ”

When Guo Tu heard this, he hurriedly said: "The lord praised it, it is under the wise guidance of the lord that the lower officials can make this small contribution, and the lower officials are just icing on the cake, but if there is no lord and your plan, where can the lower officials have the opportunity to make this contribution?" ”、

"Haha, the rule is to be able to speak." Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this, and he was very proud in his heart.

However, the frustration on the side was silent, and there seemed to be a melancholy between his eyebrows.

The smile on Yuan Shao's face suddenly froze, and then said, "I don't know why Gonghe has a worried face?" ”

I saw that the frustrated professor said: "My lord, the lower officials feel that this matter may not be so optimistic, maybe this is Pei Qing's trick again, now that two months have passed, even if the food in Pei Qing's army is really urgent, it should be requisitioned from Yuzhou or Nanyang first, right?" Where is the need to seek the near and far, to beg Liu Yu? Besides, if Liu Yu really borrows grain, I'm afraid he will have to pass through our defense area, right? Can Pei Qing really be confident that Liu Yu can send the food over? Xiaguan has always had such an intuition, since Pei Qing ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep two months ago, there is a conspiracy against us, we must be more careful, as long as we are a little negligent, it is very likely that we will regret it. ”

"It's not unreasonable...... Yuan Shao lowered his head in contemplation, and then said softly.

But seeing Guo Tuhaha, he said with a smile: "If the lord really thinks like this, it would be wrong, Pei Qingtuntian has only been in for more than a year, but he just caught up with the drought in Guanzhong, even if he harvests some surplus grain, how much can he have?" So now the possibility of the army cutting off food is very great, as for the matter of borrowing grain from Liu Yu, it is actually very simple, because Liu Yu has a lot of relationship with the lord after all, if he sends troops to transport grain to Hanoi, I am afraid that the lord is really embarrassed to rob it, once it is really robbed, I am afraid that the alliance between Liu Yu and the lord will be broken, and at that time, we have lost an ally, Pei Qing has gained an ally, I am afraid this is what he really wants. ”

"Well, Gong Ze has a point, in this way, Gong and your worries about the situation are a little unfounded, Pei Qing's military rations are about to run out, this is an indisputable fact, because the letter he wrote to Liu Yu asking for help has been clearly written, he can't joke with Liu Yu with such a thing, right? If this is the case, when Liu Yu receives the letter, he will definitely lose his prestige and become the laughing stock of the world. ”

Yuan Shao himself insisted that the fact that Pei Qing was about to run out of food was irreversible, and now the letter seized by Guo Tu confirmed Yuan Shao's judgment, so Yuan Shao thought that the worry of frustration was really unnecessary, but after all, he had to give frustration to the stairs, so he said with a smile.

However, Fu Zhu did not go down the steps, but insisted: "Lord, this matter must not be careless, there must be a conspiracy behind Pei Qing." ”

But saw Guo Tu sneered: "Lord, you have to be careful of some people, they deliberately exaggerate their rhetoric and are alarmist, in order to win people's attention, the more polite you are to people like this, the more arrogant and domineering he becomes, I don't know how many taels of dry rice he can eat, as for whether it will delay your big affairs in the future, they don't pay attention to it at all, and even the lower officials are wondering if someone rescued the lord in the first place, whether he had bad intentions." ”

Yuan Shao suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly when he heard this: "Gongzhi, there is no need to say any more, I believe that Gonghe's original intention is good, but there is a mistake in the judgment of Pei Qing'er, this is mainly because you overestimate Pei Qing'er, in fact, he is not as powerful as we imagined, and when he is short of food, he even wants to borrow food from Liu Yu, this is simply a rush to the doctor, doesn't he know that Liu Yu and I are allies?" This person is so unwise, it can be seen that he is just a short-sighted person, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Later, Yuan Shao did not listen to the advice of the frustrated professor, and decided to attack Pei Qing in a few days, believing that at that time, Pei Qing would be troubled externally and internally, and he would definitely be ruined under the internal and external difficulties.

Frustrated and persuaded to no avail, he had to leave in a huff, and when he left the camp, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Pei Qing is by no means as easy as imagined, the lord is so careless, I am afraid that in the future, we will all become Pei Qing's prisoners!" ”

After Guo Tu heard about this, he immediately told Yuan Shao what he had said, and Yuan Shao was secretly angry when he heard about it, and began to alienate him.

However, Guo Tu took this opportunity to regain Yuan Shao's trust, and he was secretly proud in his heart, after some painstaking planning, he finally succeeded in persuading the lord to alienate himself and re-establish his trust.

"Hehe, frustrated, frustrated, all of this is your own suffering, but it has nothing to do with me, if you were cautious, with your life-saving grace to the lord, even if I add up to my slander, I may not be able to do anything to you, but now you are pampered and arrogant, but you show your cleverness in front of the lord, don't you know that the lord hates the most is the kind of person who is good at showing himself? If I don't grasp such a good opportunity, then am I still Guo Tu? As the saying goes, character determines fate, your character is not born to please the lord, even if the lord has the grace to save his life, but it is useless, this is your life, and you can't accept it. Guo Tu's heart was very proud, with a triumphant smile on his face, secretly cheering for himself to regain Yuan Shao's favor.
