Chapter 1262 - Slightly Better (Page 1/1)

Guo Tu put Yuan Shao into the tent, and then ordered someone to bring wine syrup and some dried fruits on the table. There are not many of them, that is, a few citrus, a dozen jujubes, and a plate of dried longan fruits, but the utensils are very delicate and the furnishings are also very exquisite. The wine is Yicheng mash, and the pulp is peach water (peach juice), each of which is held in a clay pot. The pot is not large, with dark red moire on a black background, atmospheric and restrained.

Yuan Shao sat down on the chairman and picked up a dragon's eye. "This is from Jiaozhou?"

"Yes, my lord tastes it, it's very sweet."

"What's the price in the market right now?"

"I don't know, I never go to the market to buy it." Guo Tu laughed softly: "It's all my unsuccessful servant who is filial." If the lord likes it, I'll go back and send some over. If you are tired of reading books at night, chew two pills to fight hunger and relieve fatigue. ”

Yuan Shao pinched open the husk, put the purple-red flesh in his mouth, spit the kernel in the palm of his hand, and put it in the empty box. Guo Tu handed over the wet wipes, and Yuan Shao took it and wiped his hands. "It's really sweet. It seems that the name of filial piety is practical, and you are still very filial to your father. ”

"I'm just a fox and a fake tiger." Guo Tu also rubbed his hands, turned around and took a book, and put it in front of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao glanced at it and was very surprised. Not to mention the content of the book, the form is very novel, unlike the previous books, which are rolled up in one volume, but folded into a foot-wide and sewn together on one side with thread. There is a black cover on the outside, and on it is a red rectangular piece of paper, and on the inside is written in white the title of the book: Salt and Iron Treatise on Commentary.

"Whose masterpiece is this?"

"Yingchuan Taishou Pang Shanmin and Jun Cheng Zao's co-authorship."

"Jujube is only a county?"

"In the past two years, more and more people have taken up official positions." Guo Tu lowered his head. "Sun Ce's methods are clever, and at first glance it is not very tight, but it is like a cowhide rope dipped in water, which is getting tighter and tighter. If the lord can't call back, I'm afraid there won't be many people who still remember the lord. He looked up, stopped talking, moved his lips a few times, and finally smiled bitterly.

"Say whatever you want, don't worry about me." Yuan Shao flipped through it casually. "Treatise on Salt and Iron" is not a scripture, he has not read it, but he still knows the general content. Pang Shanmin is the son of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Xiangyang, and Zao Yi is a famous scholar in Yingchuan, and they cooperated to verify the "Treatise on Salt and Iron", is it pure learning, or is it related to their work in Yingchuan Tuntian?

Guo Tu hesitated for a while, took out the document from his arms, and handed it to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu's hand in his arms in his account just now, and now he couldn't help but laugh when he saw him take out the paperwork. He opened the document that still carried Guo Tu's body temperature, and when he glanced at it, his face changed, and his hands trembled.

The content of the document is very simple: Li Zhang met with Sun Ce, and his son Li Xuan was appointed in the state governor's office.

Yuan Shao's face was hot, red and white for a while. Li Zhang was his wife's elder brother, and his son came to serve with Sun Ce, which was the official announcement of the break between the Yingchuan Li clan and him. This is not only humiliating him, but also means that the party has made a new choice. First He Hao, and now Li Zhang, one is the party leader who inherited Li Ying's career, and the other is a celebrity who inherited Li Ying's bloodline, these two people together have a great influence on the party.

Guo Tu is right. If he doesn't take Yingchuan back in his hands, the party will part ways with him.

Yuan Shao picked up a dragon's eye again, peeled off the shell, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and forced himself to calm down. "What do you think about Yanzhou?"

"If the people of Jizhou are willing to give money and food, Cao Ang may still be able to claim the title of minister, otherwise he will inevitably drift away. Lord, money and food are needed for war, and Yanzhou has been fighting for so many years, and it can't support it for too long. Cao Ang didn't want to betray the lord, he didn't dare to give him two guts, he just didn't want to exhaust the last trace of vitality in Yanzhou, and his life was at the hands of the people of Yizhou. Now the lord still needs the Yanzhou people to help, they are not willing to pluck a hair, in the future, Yanzhou will run out of money and food, and they will rely on others, will they still take the Yanzhou people seriously? ”

Yuan Shao was silent. Yanzhou people are like this, and Yuzhou people are not like this. After Yuan Tan's defeat, he felt the embarrassment of being controlled by others. With no money and food in hand, if the people of Jizhou do not cooperate, he will not be able to do anything.

"Can the Jibei family draw out some money and grain?"

"Yes, but not too much. The strength of the Northern Hebei family cannot be compared with the Southern Hebei family. ”

Yuan Shao nodded, his eyes falling on the book on the case. "The situation in Tuntian in Xu County is good?"

"It's not just Xu County, the entire Tuntian in Yuzhou is good. The lord, Yanyu is one, Suishui is neither a big river nor a big river, and it can't stop the army. Sun Ce wanted to seize Yanzhou for a long time, if it weren't for the battle of Xian Si, Yanzhou would have fallen into his hands long ago. Wait for him to drink the great river ......"

Guo Tu sighed, shook his head, and didn't say any more. Yuan Shao looked at him and said, "Sun Ce wants to take Yanzhou, why did he take Rencheng instead of Junyi?" ”

Guo Tu smiled bitterly. "Lord, he wants to take Junyi, but does he have a way to restrain the lord's iron horse? The waterways near Rencheng are vertical and horizontal, and Daze abounds, which is conducive to infantry and not conducive to cavalry. He didn't have any cavalry, so he naturally had to take Junyi. The lord has an iron horse in his hand, and he also takes the road Junyi, isn't it a long and short one? ”

Yuan Shao covered his mouth with his hand and slowly spit out the kernel. He felt that Guo Tu was reasonable, and he could see farther than Frustration. The north and the south are different, Sun Ce has his reasons for taking Rencheng, but he should not copy it. Although he was smart, he didn't know that the area was low-lying and swampy, and it was not suitable for cavalry charges. In contrast, the area around Junyi is more suitable for cavalry.

"Sun Ce wants to seize Qingzhou and communicate with Gongsun Zhan, what should I do?"

"Tao Qian's new funeral, at least for a year, Sun Ce is unlikely to use troops against Xuzhou. If he wants to take Qingzhou, he is more likely to go north from Rencheng. Ordered Cao Ang to defend Dongping and Jibei, and then sent generals to garrison the plains, it was not so easy for Sun Ce to attack all the way into Qingzhou. In addition, the lord can also contact Taishan Goat's family and control Taishan County, which can not only block Sun Ce's way north, but also threaten Cao Ang, telling him not to act willfully and make mistakes again and again. ”

Guo Tu stopped, took out a cup, poured a cup of peach water for Yuan Shao, and pushed it in front of Yuan Shao. "Lord, take Yingchuan, Xu County Tuntian is thousands of hectares, and you can get millions of stones every year. With this million stone grain in hand, what can't the lord do? ”

Yuan Shao's heart was moved, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised. He picked up the book "Commentary on Salt and Iron" and flipped through it. "Yes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and Tuntian has always been a strategy to prepare for the border. Rules, or your insight is higher. ”

Guo Tu bowed and bowed. "The lord praises falsely, and the minister does not dare to be. The minister can't say so much truth, the minister only knows that the people take food as the sky, and there is no money and food, so nothing can solve the problem. ”

Yuan Shao sighed with a lot of emotion.
