There is a basic premise for the peace talks, and even for further alliances, that is, the two sides must have the same interests, and the interests of the two sides must be complementary to each other.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai believes that since the previous strategy of "talking and pulling, fighting and talking" has been unable to solve the plight of Kanto after Yuan Shao's strong intervention, and it is even difficult to delay and maintain the current situation in Kanto, it is better to give up the previous "war" and choose the current "peace".

And "peace" with Cao Cao is far more certain than "peace" with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao and Yan Xing are fighting for Hanoi County, but if Hanoi County is ceded, then Hedong and Henan counties will have the worry of being attacked day and night, and Yan Xing will inevitably not give up an inch of land.

The interests of the two sides are fundamentally contrary to each other, in the face of the naked strength and interests, Hedong wants to "make peace" with Yuan Shao, that can only be "peace", but Yan Xing is unwilling to withdraw from Hanoi County, then this envoy "peace" is destined to be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

However, Cao Cao and Yan Xing were fighting for the Son of Heaven, or in essence, they were fighting for the "name and instrument" of the Han family, and since the two sides did not have a territorial dispute involving vital interests, there was still room for discussion on the "peace" of dividing up the "name and instrument".

Zhai Hao attacked the grain convoy of the Cao army, and the Cao army then captured the two important cities of Xingyang and Aocang.

However, because Cao Cao threw a mouse trap and was afraid that Hedong would be forced up and down, Yan Xing followed Dong Zhuo's method of losing both, killing the Son of Heaven and migrating to the imperial court, so although Cao Jun had the advantage on the surface, he did not rush to attack the Tiger Pass.

Wang Bi also remained in Luoyang City, making a final effort to welcome the Son of Heaven.

At this time, make peace with Cao Cao of Yanzhou as soon as possible, and reach an agreement on the "name and weapon" of the Han Dynasty, then both sides can take what they need, and Cao's army, which welcomed the Son of Heaven, needs to return to their Yan and Yu lands to consolidate their prefectures and counties, and the soldiers and horses in Hedong can turn to the west in time to focus on capturing Guanzhong.

At the same time, after using the Son of Heaven and Yanzhou to negotiate peace and retreat from the Cao army, the Hebei army that had advanced on the Gongxian-Ji County line was facing the strong walls of Hanoi, and when it was unprofitable, they would gradually turn their red eyes to the allies who welcomed the Son of Heaven.

This is what Xi Zhicai, who is in Luoyang City, has done his best to plan for Yan Xing, compared to Zhou Liang's cruel and brutal methods, this strategy obviously thinks more long-term and comprehensive about the future of Hedong.

But Yan Xing also has doubts about Xi Zhicai's plan.

Although Yan Xing admits that Xi Zhicai's "great rebellion" view, that is, the competition for the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, it is essentially a competition for the "name and instrument" of the Han family.

And the "name and instrument" are all for the purpose of fighting for hegemony in troubled times, so when the overall safety is at stake, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, which represent an important part of the "name and instrument", can also be transferred as a bargaining chip in exchange.

However, Yan Xing doubted Xi Zhicai's judgment of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Xi Zhicai felt that if Cao Cao won the Son of Heaven and welcomed the imperial court, then his first thing was to choose a strategic place that could be attacked and defended as the new capital, and take this as the core, work hard, and concentrate on consolidating the territory of Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

And Yuan Shao, who saw the benefits and took advantage of the weakness, after seeing his allies welcome the Son of Heaven to retreat, would not smash the hard stone of Hedong alone, but would turn his attention to the allies who had already seized the greatest benefits.

These two judgments of Yuan and Cao were not wrong in themselves, but Yan Xing was worried that Xi Zhicai was too optimistic.

Yuan and Cao were very different from the enemies they faced before, such as Bai Bo, Wei Fan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Yang, and Li Guo, and they were all powerful enemies in troubled times with long-term strategy and great strength for the rising Hedong forces.

In other words, the initial battle between the heroes in troubled times has gradually come to an end. While Yan Xing eliminated the above enemies by force, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also used various means to eliminate a large number of enemies such as Han Fu, Black Mountain, Yu Poison, Gongsun Zhan, Yellow Turban, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Zhang Miao, etc., and the three stood at the top of this troubled world.

Next, we will enter a period of consolidation and annexation of the three families.

Xi Zhicai still lacks a forward-looking understanding of this. Therefore, he was not keenly aware that Cao Cao, who had welcomed the Son of Heaven and achieved his goal, although he would no longer fight with the Hedong army because of the conflict of vital interests, he might use the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to regain the "name and weapon" that had been carved up to Yan Xing, and even after stabilizing the situation of moving the capital, he turned around ruthlessly and pointed Yan Xing, who ran Guanzhong, as a rebellious minister, so that the rising force in Hedong once again fell into an unfavorable situation of popular support and public opinion.

In view of the Son of Heaven's hatred for the generals of the Xiliang Army, as well as Yan Xing's personal feelings of being caught in the whirlpool of public opinion not long ago, I believe that the young Son of Heaven is happy to see it.

And the unprofitable Hebei army, which is fighting alone, will withdraw and strike the war, which is also too underestimating the cadres and ministers of Hebei. The chaos in Guanzhong is known to all the heroes in the world, Yuan Shao is not necessarily without foresight, he knows that Yan Xing is going to turn the main force to the west, will he give up the border of the garrison and restrict the opportunity to the east of the river?

It's hard to say, but Yan Xing would never be optimistic about underestimating the enemy.

In other words, dealing with Gongsun Zhan, who was trapped in a corner, restraining Hedong from fighting for Guanzhong with all his might, and using both soft and hard to seize the interests of his ally Cao Cao, was not a single problem for Yuan Shao, who spanned four states and was powerful.

If there is no long-term vision and the strength to settle in many places, then how did Yuan Shao's current territory across the four states come from?

After Yan Xing thought about it for a long time, he did not rashly adopt Xi Zhicai's plan.

It's a big move, and he wants to hear more from the resourceful before he finally settles down.

Yan Xing first sent a letter of inquiry to Yan Zhi in Hedong, and then summoned the military advisor to Jiu Xunyu and asked him about the current countermeasures.

Xun You is one of the most suitable staff officers in Yan Xing's heart in this matter.

Other people, such as Taishi Pei Mao, Henan Yin Peiqian, Yilang Wei Qi, Shouhong Nong Taishou Jia Kui, these people are either their own wives, or their own good ministers who first followed the start-up foundation in Hedong, Yan Xingxin respects them, but they either do not have a deep understanding of Yuan and Cao and their forces, or they still lack forward-looking observation of the current situation, or they are carrying the burden of the old ministers of the Han family, and they cannot really help Yan Xing in the final decision of this matter.

Xun You is different, his insight into the hearts of the people in this troubled world, the burden of the Han courtiers is relatively light, and more importantly, the Xun family has children in the Yuan, Cao, and Yan families, Yecheng is Xun Chen, Yanzhou is Xun Yu, and Hedong is Xun You.

In the daily correspondence between uncles and nephews in the clan, Xun You is not sure whether he can know much about the Yuan Cao family, but at least he will be much clearer about the strategy and power of the Yuan Cao family than the other advisers under Yan Xing.

This is the reason why Yan Xing hopes that Xun You can give him advice.

But it's a pity that Xun You's advice on this matter is unsatisfactory.

Xun You himself is not a person who is keen on power and scheming, he has a gap in his chest, but he is introverted, although he was promoted to a high position by Yan Xing, he is not in a hurry to make contributions and prove himself, but his attitude is becoming more and more humble, and his words and deeds are cautious.

In the face of the current situation, after Xun You pondered for a long time, he suggested that Yan Xing and Cao Cao negotiate peace, but when it came to core issues such as the Son of Heaven, Xun You was silent, and there was a great performance of "Xun You entered the Yan camp and did not say a word".

Thinking of the previous Yanzhou travelers, Yan Xing suddenly became bored for some reason, and after letting Xun You retreat, he was thinking about whether to call back Luoyang's drama Zhicai, or return to Beijing at this time to meet Jia Xu and others.

As a result, it didn't take long for the backbone captain Dian Wei to send his guards to report, and Jia Xu and Pei Ji, the squire of the Yellow Gate, with their entourage and a team of guards, rushed to the Mianchi military camp to ask for a meeting with the hussar general Yan Xing.

After receiving the report from the guards, Yan Xing was overjoyed and surprised, and he was happy that thinking of Jia Xu, Jia Xu arrived; What was surprising was that Jia Xu, as a waiter, and Pei Ji, as a waiter of the Yellow Gate, were both close ministers around the Son of Heaven.

Yan Xing hurriedly asked the guards to invite Jia Xu and Pei Ji into his big tent, but at the same time, there was also a hint of bad premonition in his heart.

At this critical moment, I hope that there will be no more trouble in the palace.

···

Outside the gate of the Chinese army.

Dian Wei, the captain in armor, came in person and appeared beside Jia Xu and Pei Ji who were waiting outside the gate, he could clearly feel the impatience of Pei Ji's expression when he greeted him, but Jia Xu didn't have any words and deeds that attracted too much attention, but his expression when he was silent also made Dian Wei feel a little heavy.

But military discipline is like a mountain, no matter how big the matter is, it has to wait until the personal guards have reported it, and the hussar general is willing to meet before he can bring Jia and Pei into the account.

In the process of this short wait, Pei Ji raised his eyes and glanced at the gate several times, anxiously waiting for the return of the reported guard, while Jia Xu, the old man, lowered his head slightly, not in a hurry, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Dian Wei's observation was not wrong. Jia Xu, who bowed his head and meditated, was thinking back to the scene that had just happened in the palace when he came:

In the slightly simple and simple hall, a young man who was alone was gathering in front of the luxurious lampholder, carefully rubbing the clothes and belts that had been untied from his body.

This is a leather leather belt decorated with beautiful jade, that is, a jade belt, which is worn by the Son of Heaven, and only those who are extremely close or have great merit can be rewarded by the Son of Heaven.

But at this time, the Son of Heaven's dedication to this jade belt far exceeded his feelings for his own clothes, he was more like stroking his lover, gently stroking the smooth surface of the entire jade belt, but touching it, there was a little nervousness between his eyebrows, as if this jade belt would become a poisonous snake anytime and anywhere, and it would burst into a poisonous snake.
