Xiang Ping didn't do anything to the Linghu family, stayed in the Linghu family's mansion for a long time, didn't eat, and kindly left the Linghu family's mansion with his guards.

Not to mention the people, even many families who are watching are inexplicable. Could it be that Zhen Guogong has changed his former domineering and intends to reconcile with the family? The more he thought about it, the more everyone in the family felt that it was so, after all, if the situation is clear today, Xiang Ao must get the support of most families if he wants to compete in the world.

After leaving the Linghu clan, Xiang Ping took a small number of guards to visit the selected families in the General's Mansion one by one. And Xiang Ping's reputation also spread rapidly throughout the state and Youzhou during this period. Even other forces outside of the two states have heard of it.

It is said that Xiang Ping is a god descending from heaven, and his force is better than that of the former Zhenguo Gong; It is also said that Xiang Ping's wisdom is extraordinary, and he has fought countless families in Bingzhou and made the family surrender.

Although it was suspected of being exaggerated, Xiang Ping's various performances made Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who had no conflict with Xiang Ao, worried. A Xiang Ao is extremely difficult to deal with, if his son is like a rumor, then Xiang Ao's power is even stronger. The reaction of the various princes did not affect the affairs of the annexed states. Even Yuan Shao, who was fighting with Xiang Ao, was not in the mood to compare the advantages and disadvantages of his son and Xiang Ao's son at this time.

Unlike the endless stalemate between Xiang Ao and Yuan Shao on the northern front, Zhang Yanjun and Guan Hai's army in Wei County fought in full swing, making the surrounding princes frown.

On that day, Tian Feng secretly met with the leaders of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and I don't know who knew about it, and it was spread. After the rumor, Yuan Shao also adjusted the original strength of the northern part of the country, and also deployed heavy troops on the southern front, as if to prevent the rumors from being true.

And just after Yuan Shao turned part of his forces to the south, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai in Wei County fought fiercely, and the two sides were between Ye County of Wei County (now the north of Anyang City, Henan) and Wei County (now the southern tip of Hebei Province, at the junction of Hebei and Henan).

"Since you are going to have a decisive battle with Guan Hai, why does the general seem to be making a feint?"

Yu Poison really didn't understand Zhang Yan's art of war, and asked Zhang Yan out of curiosity. When Zhang Yan heard this, she rubbed her nose in embarrassment, and replied: "The art of war is cloudy: the real is virtual, and the virtual is real." At this time, it seems to be a feint, but it is making Guan Hai tired of dealing with it and leaking flaws. ”

"Besides, the feint attack that Ben will create is a real army. As long as Guan Hai was slightly negligent and leaked a flaw, he would have been able to turn fiction into reality, and in an instant, Guan Hai would be beaten to the point of urine. ”

When Yu Poison heard this, his face was suddenly pale, and his eyes were full of stars, and he looked at Zhang Yan with admiration and exclaimed: "The general is superior in resourcefulness, and the use of soldiers is like a god." The last will admire! ”

"Ahem, cough, cough..."Zhang Yan rubbed her chin, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and said: "It's just a little trick, it's not certain whether you can make Guan Hai set up, don't be happy too early." ”

Yu Poison didn't see Zhang Yan's unnaturalness at all, and stared at Yu Tu with a serious face for a long time and said, "What the general said is extremely true! The general has been feints recently, but Guan Hai doesn't know if he has seen through it, or if he has no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the general, it seems that he is also playing a feint with falsehood, and he has been tempting. ”

Zhang Yan was stunned, but she didn't expect that Yu Poison, who usually looks dull, has been so vicious in her eyes recently, and she saw the key to it. Then Zhang Yan smiled slightly bitterly, fortunately, he is not a scheming person, otherwise I am afraid that he and Guan Hai are just acting.

"General, since Guan Hai is also pretending, my Montenegrin Army can completely surprise and turn some virtual into reality, and if Guan Hai is caught off guard, he will definitely be able to make miraculous achievements!" Yu Yu still didn't know why, and even said to Zhang Yan with some excitement.

When Zhang Yan heard this, her expression was slightly flustered, how can this be made!

"No!" Zhang Yan tried her best to calm down, and said firmly: "Ah Poison only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. If Guan Hai has already seen the measurement of Benjiang, is there no backhand to guard against the reality that Benjiang may change at any time? Wei County has many plains, and geographically speaking, it is not suitable for risky strategies. In addition, the Black Mountain Army and the people and the Yellow Turbans and the people of Qingzhou, nearly two million people gathered in Wei County, if a decisive battle breaks out in a daze, even if it wins, I am afraid that the entire Wei County will be ruined. ”

When Yu Poison heard this, he nodded deeply and said: "The last general is stupid, or the general is thoughtful!" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he ignored it, and left the camp after leaving a sentence to inspect the barracks. It seems that he is afraid of the sudden thought of the poison, and wants to offer a plan. Seeing Zhang Yan leaving, Yu Yu didn't think much about it, so he rushed to the front line, as if he planned to follow Zhang Yan's strategy and look for the flaws that Guan Hai might leak on the front line.

Compared with Zhang Yan, Guan Hai is much easier. There are not many generals in Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and Guan Hai's prestige among the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans has almost reached its peak, and no one will question Guan Hai's decision.

In this way, in front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai fought vigorously. As for the grain and grass, it must be provided by Tian Feng, who requires the cooperation of the two. Hanoi's land is already fertile, rich in grain and grass, and with the support of the state, tens of thousands of troops can still support the performance. Moreover, in the eyes of Tian Feng and others, the more than 1 million people and hundreds of thousands of troops in Wei County will sooner or later become an elite army that merges with the state, and it should not be raised by the state, who should raise it.

Near Yi County, where Zhuo County and Hejian State meet, Xiang Ao led 30,000 elites at this time, and Chen Bing was on the north bank of Mashui north of Yi County, and Yuan Shao's army in Nan'an was at a standout.

"Wenhe, is this plan too vicious and hurts Tianhe?"

Xiang Ao frowned, a little hesitant about the plan that Jia Xu had just offered.

"The lord is benevolent and virtuous, and he admires himself." Jia Xu's face was solemn, and he said again to Xiang Ao: "But has the lord ever thought about it, if Yuan Shao is not consumed so much, let Yuan Shao try to use the power of the family, and when the lord takes Jizhou in the future, how to deal with the many families in Jizhou?" Do you want to kill them all? Or do you want to stay and be ready to go? ”

"Jizhou has a large population and many granaries, and its war potential is one of the best among the thirteen prefectures in Putian." Jia Xu didn't wait for Xiang Ao to answer, and continued: "And the family in Jizhou will send the forces that they have been operating for many years to the front line when Yuan Shao can still hold on? What the lord has to do now is not only to seize a county, a county, and a state, but more importantly, to try to eliminate the living forces of the local families in each state and county. ”

"With the current lord's soldiers and horses, as long as the army goes south, how long can Yuan Shao hold out? But if this is the case, after occupying Jizhou, how much strength will the lord have to face consume the lord of the family? Jia Xu kept asking rhetorically, showing the problems Xiang Ao is facing now, and letting Xiang Ao think for himself.

"After the lord occupies Jizhou, if he can't deal with the Jizhou family, when the Jizhou family rebels, won't it still be the people of Jizhou who will suffer?"

Jia Xu said, his face became more and more fierce: "In this case, why not oppress Yuan Shao to the extreme, let Yuan Shao be reckless, and let the Jizhou family burden the people." In this way, the people's resentment of Yuan Shao and the family will definitely exceed their resentment towards the lord. At that time, the lord will seize Jizhou, and then distribute the land to the people according to the current model of merging states, and the people will be grateful to Dade and support the lord just like the people of Jizhou. ”

Jia Xu said, Xiang Ao's face turned dark. Jia Xu's strategy is not the best policy. Attacking the city and conquering Jizhou, while also making the people of Jizhou biased towards themselves, in this way, Jizhou will be integrated into Xiang Ao's rule in the fastest way, avoiding the troubles of the family.

But in this way, how will the family represented by Yuan Shao, who does not regard the people as people, exploit the people under the rule of desperation? Or even mutilate the people? Xiang Ao didn't dare to think about it.

"Even if it is the best policy, the harm to the people is really too great!" Xiang Ao thought about it for a long time, but still lowered his head and kept shaking it softly and continued: "Let's stop at this time, after all, Youzhou has not settled down yet. After Yuan Zhi handles the affairs of Youzhou safely, he will make a decision! ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he sighed lightly. His lord is good everywhere, he has courage and determination, and he will not have the kindness of a woman. is too much love for the people, and there are some strategies that affect the overall situation, Xiang Ao will hesitate. Perhaps this is the reason why the lord was able to take over the two states within ten years with his white body and take charge of millions of people in the two states.

Jia Xu thought so, shook his head gently, gave up continuing to persuade Xiang Ao, and Xu Shu's figure appeared in his mind.

The death of Emperor Han Xian, there are four people in the world who know that they planned it by themselves. In addition to himself, there are only two people executed by Guo Yan and Li Dao, and Xu Shu, who often corresponds with Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu vaguely expressed his plan in the letter, Xu Shu did not stop it, but even vaguely told Jia Xu that what Xiang Ao was unwilling to do, Xu Shu was willing to bear it for Xiang Ao and do what the wicked man did. persuaded Xiang Ao to no avail, so Jia Xu had to try to communicate with Xu Shu first, so that Xu Shu would agree to the matter.

"That's right!" When Xiang Ao was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the matter of Taiyuan, turned around and said to Jia Xu fiercely: "Wen He wrote to Kong Ming for me." The family rebellion, the rebellious family should be cut down with the power of thunder! As for those families who temporarily surrendered, let Kong Ming arrange for Ping'er to deal with it. ”

"Childe?" Jia Xu was slightly stunned, although he heard that his son was like a prodigy, but after all, he was only a teenager, how could he deal with the people of the family, so he advised Xiang Ao: "Think twice!" Although Childe is smart, he is too young after all, and he still needs to be sharpened before he can be entrusted with important tasks. ”

"Hahaha..."Xiang Ao laughed when he heard this: "Wenhe, Wenhe, don't look down on the people of the world, especially the son of my father!" Wenhe is waiting to see a good show! ”

Jia Xu was stunned again, Xiang Ao's confidence in Xiang Ping even exceeded Xiang Ao himself. Jia Xu had never seen Xiang Ao so proud.
