Yuan Shao asked who would persuade Zhou Yu, but none of the accompanying staff members were willing to take on this responsibility.

After waiting for a while, still no one said anything, Yuan Shao sneered: "What? No one dares to see Zhou Yu? ”

"If the lord does not give up, I am willing to serve." One of them got up and said to Yuan Shao: "But I have one condition, and I ask the lord to agree." ”

The person who got up was named Xun Chen, and Xun Yu, a staff member next to Cao Cao, was a close brother.

It's just that Xun Chen served Yuan Shao in his early years, but Xun Yu chose to work for Cao Cao, and since then, the two brothers have been their own masters, and they have not had much contact in private.

Xun Chen was willing to see Zhou Yu, and Yuan Shao certainly would not have any objections.

"If you have any conditions, just say it." Yuan Shao generously motioned for him to continue.

Xun Chen replied: "Lord Mingjian, in fact, I don't think I can convince Zhou Yu. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao asked, "Why?" ”

"Zhou Yu voted for Lu Bu because of Sun Bofu." Xun Chen replied: "Now that Sun Bofu and Lu Bu are together, the lord only persuaded Zhou Yu, but did not give Sun Bofu a way out, is it possible to succeed?" ”

Yuan Shao frowned at Xun Chen's question.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Xun Chen, "Since you think you can't convince Zhou Yu, why are you still willing to go?" ”

"Not for anything else, but for the lord." Xun Chen replied: "If no one is willing to meet Zhou Yu, I'm afraid the lord won't believe what I say." ”

"You think Zhou Yu is unconvincing, if you let you go, how can you persuade him to surrender?" Yuan Shao pinched his chin and didn't think of how to respond, Feng Ji said: "Youruo really can't go." ”

"I can't go, I'm afraid no one will go anymore." Xun Chen said to him: "If Yuan Tu doesn't believe it, you can ask everyone, who else is willing to see Zhou Yu?" ”

Xun Chen really gave Feng Ji a dismissal.

Feng Ji's gaze fell on everyone's faces.

All the staff members bowed their heads at him.

Around Yuan Shao, a few people such as Feng Ji, Xian Pei, and Guo Tu are the most powerful.

Of course, the staff members refused to offend such a figure who was calling for wind and rain in Hebei.

No one wants to go, and no one wants to make eye contact with Feng Ji.

Since you don't want to offend him, you have to avoid him, if you look at him, in case he is recommended by him to see Zhou Yu, but there is little luck.

After all, Zhou Yu is Lu Bu's subordinate.

The army is about to go to Yanjin, and if you go to see Zhou Yu at this time, can you still get benefits?

Xun Chen refuted Feng Ji in public, making him very unable to get off the stage.

He said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, since no one else is willing to go, there is nothing wrong with me going." ”

Feng Ji proposed that he go to see Zhou Yu, but Yuan Shao hesitated a little and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go......"

Yuan Shao's meaning is very clear, Feng Ji's reputation in Hebei is too high, he went to Yanjin, and if Zhou Zhouyu detained him, Hebei suffered a lot of losses.

"The lord conquered the world in order to unify the country and revitalize the Han family." Feng Ji said: "I'm just a mere person, for the sake of the world, for the lord's plan, I am willing to go to Yanjin, even if Zhou Yu's intentions are not good for me, I will admit it." ”

Feng Ji's words were impassioned, and when Yuan Shao heard it, he couldn't help but be a little touched in his heart.

He closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he said to Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu insists on going, I only give you one word, if Zhou Yu refuses to surrender, you don't need to force it, just come back." ”

"My lord's words, I wrote them down." Feng Ji bowed and replied to Yuan Shao: "In order not to delay the lord's important affairs, I will retire first." ”

"Be careful about the metagraph?" After all, Feng Ji is one of the most valued people around Yuan Shao, and he wants to see Zhou Yu, but Yuan Shao is really a little reluctant.

Seeing Feng Ji walk away, Yuan Shao's eyes walked around the faces of the staff again.

Everyone was panicked by him, and they lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at him.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't know how to tell the staff.

He can't blame everyone present for the sake of being alone.

Yuan Shao was actually the most annoyed by Xun Chen, if he hadn't stood up and said that he was willing to see Zhou Yu, and put forward any conditions, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble with Feng Ji.

Feng Ji lost face, if he didn't go to Yanjin to ask to see Zhou Yu, he couldn't say anything.

But when he went, it was really reassuring.

**************************************

Yuan Shao led the army forward slowly, and Feng Ji came to Yanjin first.

Hearing that Feng Ji asked to see him, Zhou Yu was also puzzled in his heart.

He invited the generals who were with him to the tent.

Before the generals sat down, Zhou Yu said: "Generals, I got the news that Yuan Shao's subordinates are coming to Yanjin to ask to see me. Do you think this is anything weird? ”

The generals obviously didn't expect Feng Ji to come to see Zhou Yu.

They looked at each other, and Gao Shun asked, "What does General Zhou think of Feng Ji's intentions?" ”

"What else could he try?" Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "He must have thought that we had only joined the Marquis of Chu, and he had no loyalty to the Marquis of Chu, so he came to persuade him to surrender." ”

"What is Gongjin going to do?" An old general sitting there asked Zhou Yu.

This person is about fifty or sixty years old, his face is full of wind and frost, and he is not angry and arrogant, and he calls Zhou Yu directly when he greets him.

Zhou Yu had an honorable status in Jiangdong at the beginning, and it was impossible for ordinary old generals to call him by his cousin, unless the old general had also made great contributions to Jiangdong.

"General Cheng, what do you think I should do?" Zhou Yu did not answer, but asked the old general a rhetorical question.

The old general's name is Cheng Pu, who was Sun Jian's general, and later Sun Jian was shot by Huang Zu, so he has been following Sun Ce, and his status in Jiangdong is certainly not low.

Yuan Shao led the army to attack Yanjin, and except for a few of Lu Bu's subordinates and staff, who followed him before, most of them were former Jiangdong subordinates after Sun Ce's surrender.

As Sun Ce's general, Cheng Pu of course also took refuge in Lu Bu.

He said to Zhou Yu: "If we hadn't taken refuge in Chu Hou at the beginning, it would have been okay, but now that we have chosen to take refuge, we have to be loyal to Chu Hou." When I come to Yanjin every time, I mean I don't see him at all, or when he comes to Yanjin, he will be killed. ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "What the old general said is right. ”

The people who came from Jiangdong echoed one after another, but it was Gao Shun, who had originally followed Lu Bu, who raised a different opinion.

Gao Shun said to Zhou Yu: "If you ask to see him, there will definitely be a set of his words." I don't think it hurts to hear what he has to say. When he finishes speaking, General Zhou will send him away. ”

"If I see him, Chu Hou will know in the future, won't he be unclear?" Zhou Yu shook his head: "I think it's better not to see it." ”

"Chu Hou sent someone over to report it." Gao Shun said: "You can ask what Chu Hou means, he thinks what to do with Feng Ji." Wait until you see Feng Ji, and then deal with it according to Chu Hou's wishes, where will he be blamed? ”

What Gao Shun said was still very reasonable, Zhou Yu listened, first nodded, and then asked everyone: "Do you think what General Gao said, is it reasonable?" ”

"General Gao was the first person to follow the Marquis of Chu, he said so, what else can we think." Cheng Pu said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin will send a messenger to meet Chu Hou and listen to what Chu Hou has to say." ”

The news of Lu Bu's defeat of Cao Cao has spread in Xuzhou.

However, Zhou Yu got the news relatively late.

It was only two days after getting the news that Lu Bu had defeated Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu said: "Although Chu Hou has already defeated Cao Cao, I don't feel very safe, after all, Cao Cao should not be very far from Dangshan at this time. Sending a random courier over is likely to delay a big event......"

He then looked at one of the generals beside him.

The general's tall horse and dark face sat there half a cut taller than the average person.

"Zhou Tai, you go to Dangshan for a walk." Zhou Yu said to him: "When I saw Chu Hou, I said that Feng Ji asked to see me, and I already planned to let him come to see me." But first ask Chu Hou how to deal with Feng Ji. Whether to kill or close, please decide to Chu Hou. ”

Zhou Tai got up and responded, "I'll go now." ”

He strode away, and when he arrived at the door, he beckoned the guards to lead his horse for him, and hurried to Dangshan.

Zhou Tai left, and Zhou Yu asked everyone again: "Everyone, Yuan Shao led the army to Yanjin, we have few soldiers, and he has many soldiers, how can we break him?" ”

The generals looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Or Cheng Pu said to Zhou Yu: "Except for Gong Jin, who else can think of a way to break Yuan Shao?" Gong Jin asked us, it is better to ask ourselves how we want to defeat Yuan Shao. ”

When Cheng Pu said this, Zhou Yu could only shake his head and smile: "I did think of the method, but I don't know if the generals agree with it." ”

"Please also ask Gong Jin to speak clearly." Cheng Pu motioned for him to continue.

Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shao led his troops to Yanjin, and the only way for him to cross the Yellow River was to find a ferry at the ferry. I plan to requisition all the ferries at the ferry, so that they have no boats to use, and then set up hidden piles along the Yellow River. Even if Yuan Shao found the boat, it would be impossible to get to the riverbank. ”

"These are just ways to stop the enemy, not to break them." Gao Shun asked, "Is there no other way for General Zhou?" ”

"Of course there are other options." Zhou Yu smiled indifferently: "I'll tell you the way to break the enemy now, Yuan Shao is here, if you don't act according to my strategy, wouldn't it be useless?" ”

Gao Shun nodded, and then he asked Zhou Yu, "What does General Zhou mean ......?"

"I mean, when Yuan Shao comes, we look at his deployment and make decisions, so the strategy will be more useful." Zhou Yu stood up and walked to the sand table.

He looked down at the sand table and said to the generals: "The Marquis of Chu asked us to march in the future in the same way as the General Staff Headquarters, and I participated in the General Staff Headquarters once, and I feel that the method of the Marquis of Chu is indeed feasible. When I came to Yanjin, I never held the staff headquarters, and there was only one reason, that is, Yuan Shao had not yet arrived. Even if we deal with it, I don't know what Yuan Shao's plan is. If we want to break the enemy in one fell swoop, we can only wait until Yuan Shao comes before we can make a corresponding strategy. ”

Everyone agreed with Zhou Yu's statement and nodded yes.

"That's all for today's court meeting." Zhou Yu said: "If Feng Ji comes, bring him over first, and as for when to see him, wait until Zhou Tai comes back from Chu Hou." ”

The generals got up one after another, said goodbye to Zhou Yu, and left his tent.

When the generals were gone, Zhou Yu was still standing by the sand table.

Looking down at the sand table, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The small flag on the sand table has been planted, and he actually has a way to break Yuan Shao, but in front of the generals, he doesn't want to say it.

It's too early, if some generals can't help but make arrangements early, Feng Ji will definitely see through it at a glance when he comes.

He didn't want his plans to be understood by Feng Ji.

Zhou Yu discussed with the generals how to deal with Feng Ji, who was about to arrive at the Yanjin ferry at this time.

"Did the person who sent the letter to Zhou Yu come back?" He asked the attendant next to him.

"Not yet." The attendant replied: "I should be able to arrive today, and if there are no accidents, I should be back at this time." ”

As he was talking, Feng Ji saw a fast horse galloping towards him in the distance.

Seeing the fast horse, he smiled slightly, and said to the entourage beside him, "It should be the person we sent has returned." ”

"I don't know if Zhou Yu promised to see Ming Gong." The attendant replied.

"It must have been promised." Feng Ji smiled: "If he refuses to agree, how can he let the people we sent come back so easily?"

As he spoke to his retinue, the fast horse got closer and closer.

When he was about to get in front of Yuki, the knight on horseback lifted the reins.

The horse stopped, and the knight said to Feng Ji: "Qi Feng Gong, Zhou Gongjin promised to meet and is waiting on the south bank." ”

"What did I say." Feng Ji said to his entourage very proudly: "If Zhou Yu refuses to see me, the person sent will not come back so smoothly, at least he will be beaten, and then let him come back to pass the word." ”

The entourage lost no time in patting the horses of Fengji: "It's still clear to Ming Gong." ”

Feng Ji asked the knight who reported the news: "You saw Zhou Yu, did he feel embarrassed?" ”

"Come back to the public." The knight replied: "He did not embarrass him, but only convened the generals to the court, and after the court meeting, he summoned me and told me to tell Feng Gong, and he was waiting on the south bank." ”

"Since he's willing to see me, I can't keep him waiting too long." Feng Ji instructed the entourage behind him: "Hurry up, you must rush to the Yanjin ferry today." ”

The entourage would have any objections, and followed Feng Ji all the way to Yanjin Ferry and galloped.

When he arrived at the ferry, Feng Ji looked around, and he found that the ferry didn't even have a boat.

"Where did you find the ferry when you went?" Feng Ji asked the knight who had asked to see Zhou Yu earlier.

The knight replied, "They picked me up from the ferry from the other side, and then sent me back." ”

Hearing him say this, Feng Ji nodded.

He already understood that the boats at Yanjin Ferry had been recruited by Zhou Yu, or it could be said that they had all been confiscated by Zhou Yu.

There were no ships, Yuan Shao came here, and the army could only stare dryly on the north shore.

"I have long heard that Zhou Gongjin is a capable person, but I didn't expect to be in such a situation." Feng Ji smiled slightly, and said to his entourage: "Go to the shore and shout a few times, and ask if there is any boat on the other side to pick us up." ”
