"Gentlemen," Yuan Shao's expression was very tired and dignified: "Zhang Liao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the power is growing stronger and stronger, although we are based in Jizhou, it is difficult to stretch, there are Gongsun Zan in the north, Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun in the west, Xu Huang and Qiao Mao in the south, Tai Shici and Gan Ning in the east, if you don't try to Zhang Liao, you will die in the future, please teach me." ”

This time, Yuan Shaogang came back from Youzhou to defeat Gongsun Zhan, and lost in Zhongshan, losing a lot of soldiers and horses, so he could only retreat to Yecheng and plan with the strategists to deal with Zhang Liao.

"My lord." Don't drive Tian Feng to get up and say: "Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning are all Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses, and they cooperate with each other, and it is difficult to figure out for a while, and Gongsun Chan has been defeated by Zhao Yun several times, and it is the decline of the situation. ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Gongsun Zan has built a city in the north of Yishui, and the defense is strong, how to capture it?" ”

Since the year before last, Gongsun Chan built a city in Yi County, dug a trench surrounded by ten ways, piled up the hills five or six zhang high, built a camp garrison, the central hill was as high as ten zhang, and built a building on it, Gongsun Chan claimed to be self-proclaimed, placed the iron gate, submitted the document tether to lead up, the city stored three million Hu, Gongsun Chan guarded it, and broke the alliance with Yuan Shao at the beginning, Yuan Shao sent troops to attack several times in vain, and worried that Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses would take advantage of the weakness, Yuan Shao did not dare to attack with all his strength, and he was helpless against Gongsun Zhan, the hedgehog.

Tian Feng said sonorously: "If you defend it for a long time, you will lose, Gongsun Zan attacked Liu Yu, and he has lost the hearts of the people, and now he is sitting in Yijing, like the bones in the coffin, there is no need to worry, but the only one who can worry is Zhang Liao's fierce generals, but Yijing is on the bank of Zhongshan, just to intercept Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses to the east, the lord can send troops to the north from the Bohai Sea secretly, first take the land east of Yijing, connect Xianbei Wuhuan, and then dig tunnels, bad Yijing's foundation, and break Yi'er." ”

Yuan Shao gestured on the map and muttered: "Digging tunnels is indeed a wonderful strategy, but the soldiers and horses are heading north from the Bohai Sea, and I am afraid that Tai Shici and Gan Ning of Qingzhou will cut off my back road." ”

Tian Feng said: "The lord can form an alliance with Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and Gongsun Du will send troops across the sea to attack Qingzhou, but Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning will not dare to move lightly." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "This plan is done!" ”

On the side, Xu Yu saw that Tian Feng's plan was adopted by Yuan Shao, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Lord, Zhang Yan can also figure it out." ”

Yuan Shaoxi said: "Zhang Yan is also annoying, how to make it?" ”

Xu You stroked his beard and said: "Didn't the lord forget that the party was too guarded by Yuan Kui?" He can also use it. ”

Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, and he snorted: "Although he is my brother, he does not help my Yuan family, but helps Zhang Liao, I am afraid it will be difficult to use it." ”

Xu You said with a smile: "The lord knows about this matter, but Zhang Yan doesn't believe it, the lord can let people spread rumors in Taihang, Yuan Kui and the lord conspired with Zhang Yan, and then sent soldiers and horses to pretend to be the soldiers of the party to attack Zhang Yan, so Zhang Yan will be suspicious, and the lord will send someone to the party to spread rumors, Zhang Yan rebelled, leading the party to send troops, and the lord took advantage of the chaos to take trouble, directly take Zhang Yan, and then take the pot pass, then Zhang Yan will die, and the party can be rich." ”

Seeing Tian Feng and Xu You's plan, Feng Ji was not far behind, and said busily: "Lord, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, although Zhang Liao's power is strong, he can also conspire, he has the Son of Heaven, but the minister is strong and the lord is weak, and he will be angry, Dong Cheng is the enemy, Liu Yu and Yang Biao are the constraints, and Cao Cao is secretly ambushing them, Zhang Yang has no opinion, the lord can secretly tie Dong Cheng, Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, plot against Zhang Liao, use a plan of discord, slander and frame, as the so-called three people become tigers, Zhang Liao will be at odds with the Son of Heaven for a long time, and the courtiers will turn against each other, how can he care. It is even more adjustable that Zhang Liao went south to attack Shouchun, and the lord and the court should be both inside and outside, capture Luoyang, take away the Son of Heaven, and build the capital Yecheng, this plan is also! ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Yuan Shao couldn't help but stand up excitedly: "Zhang Liao is threatening the Son of Heaven, if I get the Son of Heaven, why not be afraid of the puppet!" ”

Seeing that several people were making plans, Guo Tu's eyes flickered on the side, and he also said: "Zhang Liao also has opponents outside, Liangzhou Ma Teng Han Sui, Yanbei Xianbei, can be an alliance, he does the imperial examination, and offends the family, Kanto Prefecture, all can be co-opted, when the lord raises the banner of righteousness, orders the princes, and crusades against Zhang Liao, then the world moves, and they are all the help of the lord!" ”

Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan was transferred out on the side: "Lord, Hanoi can also be mapped, Xu Huang is good at using soldiers, but he is too protective of Qiao Mao but lacks strategy, the Lord can fake the edict of the Son of Heaven and order Xu Huang to take Hanoi, so that Qiao Mao can get it, then Qiao Mao will turn against Xu Huang, and the Lord can take the opportunity to send troops to kill Qiao Mao, seize Hanoi, flank Xu Huang, and force Luoyang according to the big river." ”

"Good! Good! Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing: "With all the gentlemen for the plan, why worry about Zhang Liao's immortality, my business will not succeed!" ”

……

Luoyang City, Taifu Fuzhong.

Liu Yu, who was dressed plainly, sat on the bamboo mat and looked at the two in front of him.

One of them was his son Liu He, who secretly went out of the customs to contact the Kwantung princes when Dong Zhuo was in power, but tragically was first detained by Yuan Shu, fled to Hebei and then was detained by Yuan Shao, until Liu Yu returned to Luoyang, only through the edict of the Son of Heaven to take his son back, the Son of Heaven Jiaqi loyalty, and pity his suffering, appointed him as Shangshu, into the middle platform, also regarded as compensation.

The other person is Dong Cheng's strategist Liyan, at this time, Liyan does not have the arrogance in Dong Cheng's mansion, and his expression and actions are extremely gentle and modest, as if he is another person.

Of course, this is Liyan's disguise, but in fact, Liyan did not dare to put up a shelf in front of Liu Yu, Liu Yu is different from others, is the first person in the clan today, he is the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Yi, successively served as Youzhou Thorn History, Ganling State Minister, Zongzheng, Youzhou Mu, Taiwei, Da Sima, Taifu, for the government to be generous, persuade the nongsang, open the Hu market, sit in Youzhou, appease the Hu people, the prestige is very high, so that Yuan Shao had to plan to set up Liu Yu as the emperor, but Liu Yu did not obey.

After Liu Yu entered the court, although he was not in charge of the army, he and Zhang Liao jointly recorded Shangshu and took charge of the government, but Zhang Liao was inclined to reform, and Liu Yu has always been conservative and obeyed the ancestral system, fortunately, Zhang Liao has a life-saving grace for Liu Yu, and Zhang Liao's actions are well-founded, and Liu Yu also respects Zhang Liao.

"General Dong, please worship Zhang Wenyuan as the Great Sima?"

Liu Yu stared at Liyan, his eyes showed a different color, Dong Cheng has always been against Zhang Liao, how could he recommend Zhang Liao as the great Sima this time? He couldn't figure out why for a moment.

"Gong Liu," Liyan's posture was very respectful: "Yuan Shu rebel thief has been the emperor for several months, and the hussar general has been delayed in sending troops to conscript, General Dong is worried about the safety of Sheji, and is willing to show the imperial court, please worship General Zhang as the great Sima, above the three dukes, so that he can get what he wants, and lead the world's soldiers and horses, and quickly crusade against the rebel Yuan Shu, so as to correct the dynasty!" ”

Liu Yu heard the tone in Liyan's mouth, quite like Zhang Liao's self-respecting and power-seeking, and frowned: "General Zhang is not a power-hungry person, how can he think of the position of the Great Sima?" General Dong was too worried, and General Zhang had his own considerations for not sending troops to the major affairs of the country. ”

Li Yan Zhengse said: "Liu Gong's words are wrong, Yuan Shu is called the emperor, the great rebellion will shake the country, everyone in the world is waiting, if General Zhang does not send troops for a long time, I am afraid that people will lose hope, and in the long run, it will further promote the arrogance of the rebels and destroy the prestige of the imperial court, but I am afraid that after a few years, the states and counties will be called emperors!" ”

Liu Yu's face changed, he had never advocated the use of troops, and he also held this view in the court several times, but he did not consider the serious impact of dragging it out on the Han Dynasty, and he originally agreed with Zhang Liao's compromise and not sending troops, but when he heard Liyan say this, he suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but groan.

Liu He also said on the side: "Father, what Mr. Li said is very true, Yuan Shu has two ambitions, and it is difficult to appease him, and he should also send troops quickly to Zhang Liao." "He was detained by Yuan Shu and hated Yuan Shu deeply.

Seeing Liu Yu's intentions, Li Yan hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "If you ask General Zhang to send troops, you should worship Da Sima and lead the world's soldiers and horses, so that the majesty of the court will be shown, and it is also justified." ”

Now that Dong Guiren is pregnant, it is a good opportunity, if Zhang Liao can be pushed to the forefront and transferred out of Luoyang, then they will have a lot of things in the rear that are easy to operate, of course, Zhang Liao firmly controls the military power, they cannot mutiny, but at least they can take the opportunity to seize some positions in the court and win some advantages, so what Dong Cheng wants most now is to transfer Zhang Liao out of Luoyang.

Seeing that Liu Yu was still hesitating, Li Yan added: "General Zhang was about to send troops before, but was blocked by Yang Sikong, if there is no explanation at this time, I am afraid it is inappropriate, if there is a dispute, it will damage Sikong's reputation, and it is a move to help the chaos." ”

Liyan is very cunning, in fact, it is not only Yang Biao who opposes Zhang Liao's troops, but also Liu Yu and Dong Cheng, at this time Liyan will hang the name of opposition on Yang Biao's head, but Liu Yu knows this, so when he heard Liyan say this, Liu Yu no longer hesitated: "General Zhang worships Da Sima, which is expected by everyone." ”

Li Yan rolled his eyes, and said: "General Zhang will take time to send troops to conscript, I am afraid that there is no time to take care of the affairs of the DPRK, General Dong thinks that Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, and General Duan should be recommended to serve as the captain of Sili, the general of Hu Benzhonglang, and the captain of the city gate, so as to share the worries of the imperial court." ”

Liu Yu looked at Liyan with blazing eyes, he had always acted cautiously, and he did not want to offend Zhang Liao, and these positions were undoubtedly taken from Zhang Liao's mouth.

Li Yan's face did not change: "Your Majesty of this benefit, and the great Han Society of benefit." ”

Liu Yu was silent.

Li Yan didn't say much, gave a salute, quietly withdrew, and left.
