Not long after Li Yi and Zhang Yan negotiated a deal, Gongsun Zhan's envoy arrived in Jinyang.

"Hehe, it seems that he is planning to win me over to deal with Yuan Shao......" Li Yi sneered. Immediately, Li Yi asked the envoy to wait first, and at the same time ordered someone to summon everyone to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Gongsun Chan has sent someone here, hoping to join me in the crusade against Yuan Shao, tell me what you think." Li Yi explained briefly, and then looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Lord, my subordinates think that this matter can be agreed!" Tian Feng immediately opened his mouth when he heard this, and he didn't seem to feel that he needed to avoid suspicion as a new minister and an old minister of Han Fu.

"Then Yuan Shao seized Jizhou by despicable means, if the lord who is an important minister of the court does not crusade, then there will definitely be more ambitious people in the world to learn from Yuan Shao, in this way, won't the world be in chaos? Moreover, Yuan Shao ignored the fact that the saint was still coerced by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, and did not think about avenging the princes of Yuan's unjust death in Luoyang, just to expand his own power, he dared to slander the Han envoy who was also the Han envoy to the Dong coalition army, and even deceived the important ministers of the imperial court, Gongsun Junhou, if Jizhou fell into the hands of such disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people, the people would definitely fall into dire straits! Tian Feng looked at Li Yi and said loudly.

"Good guy, it seems that Yuan Hao has a lot of resentment about Han Fu's submission to Yuan Shao......" Li Yi muttered to himself in his heart as he listened to Tian Feng's words.

But think about it, obviously as a subordinate, Tian Feng and the others have explained everything to Han Fu, who is the main father, and made a plan that seems foolproof. But before it could be implemented, Han Fu surrendered directly? Not to mention Tian Feng, even if it is the three of Fu Zhu, Geng Wu, and Min Chun, how can they have no complaints in their hearts?

As soon as Tian Feng's words fell, the frustrated professor on the side also hurriedly spoke, "Lord, my subordinates also think that they can agree!" If you can take the opportunity to take Jizhou, which is densely populated, commercial, and agriculturally developed, it may not be impossible to break through Chang'an and welcome back to the Holy Lord! ”

After a pause, he said again, "And if you ignore that Yuan Shao, when he completely gains a foothold in Jizhou, he will definitely continue to expand outward, so no matter whether the lord chooses to be the enemy of Yuan Shao now, he will still stand on the opposite side after all." ”

"Hmm......" Li Yi nodded noncommittally when he heard this, then glanced around at the others and asked, "Do the rest of you have any ideas?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ren and others spoke one after another, although the reasons were different, but the words were very unified, fight! If you subdivide those reasons, they can basically be divided into two types, the military attache wants to make war achievements, and since there is a legitimate reason to take Jizhou, why not? As for the civil officials, they are basically extensions of the reasons of Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, listing all kinds of advantages of taking Jizhou, and finally came to the conclusion that Jizhou must be taken.

Sitting in the first place, watching the people below keep putting forward their own ideas, Li Yi suddenly had a very comfortable feeling in his heart, "It's good to have someone to help with ideas!" ”

In the past, no matter what happened, it was Li Yiyi's words, and whatever he said, it was what it was. After all, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Tong Fei are all people who obey orders, although there are still Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Xia Houlan, Zhang Meng and others, but they are either too young, or they are not very good at making suggestions. In this case, Li Yi can only think about countermeasures and make his own decisions.

And now, with the addition of Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Jia and others, Li Yi can finally let go of some heavy burdens and simply be a decision-maker. To know this feeling, Li Yi has been looking forward to it for a long, long time.

When everyone was almost discussed, Guo Jia opened his mouth and said respectfully, "Lord, my subordinates also thought that they should agree, but not now. ”

"What does Feng Xiao mean......" Li Yi looked at Guo Jia and asked with a smile.

"Gongsun Junhou mentioned in his letter that he was going to invite Liu Qingzhou, and his subordinates thought that it was not too late to wait for Liu Qingzhou's consent before agreeing." Guo Jia chuckled.

"Hehe, then let's do it." Li Yi smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time, he sighed again in his heart, "This is the life that you should live as a monarch~"

Originally, what Guo Jia said was what Li Yi wanted to add just now, because this point is actually very important. Righteous name! This is very necessary for today's war, just like Yuan Shao's crusade against Han Fu was also the first to slander him.

And although Gongsun Chan gave a righteous name, it was obviously not enough for Li Yi. After all, no matter how despicable Yuan Shao's methods were, Jizhou was given to Yuan Shao by Han Fu after all. With such a statement, coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao would definitely officially go to the imperial court, this allowed him to obtain the right to rule Jizhou, at least on the surface, through formal procedures.

Of course, because the Chang'an court was deeply under Dong Zhuo's rule, it was impossible to say whether the court agreed or not.

Because of this, Li Yi had to get other people to come forward, such as Liu Bei in Qingzhou or Liu Yu in Youzhou. Once they also came forward, the reason for crusading against Yuan Shao would be much more legitimate. Although this kind of thing seems to be a lot of moves, no matter how low the prestige of the court is now, they still belong to the courtiers of the Han court after all.

After replying to Gongsun Zhan's envoy, Li Yi immediately ordered to start preparing for war, and the transaction with Zhang Yan was also carried out, and a large number of inferior war horses were sent to Changshan Country in exchange for a large number of supplies. And Zhang Yan didn't have any dissatisfaction with this, because he also knew that if he wanted to buy a good war horse, Li Yi would not be able to agree.

Of course, even if Li Yi agreed, Zhang Yan was reluctant to buy it, after all, a high-quality war horse was enough for 100,000 yuan, and a good horse was more than 200,000 yuan, even if Li Yi did not increase the price and only sold it to Zhang Yan at three times the agreed price, it was enough to make Zhang Yan vomit blood. Moreover, Zhang Yanke also plans to buy a large number of rhubarb crossbows! In any way, the rhubarb crossbow is obviously more cost-effective than any good war horse.

"Jizhou...... It's really rich in materials, Zhang Yan is just able to come up with so many materials just by occupying Changshan and Zhongshan, and he can come up with so many materials......" Looking at the list of transactions sent by Guo Jia, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Lord, in fact, Zhang Yan was able to take out these materials, not only because of Changshan and Zhongshan, but also because the Zhen family under his command was able to obtain such huge materials." Guo Jia said respectfully when he heard this.

"The Zhen family......" Li Yi groaned when he heard this, the Zhen family took refuge in Zhang Yan, which Li Yi had already known for a long time, but his understanding of the businessmen of this era was very limited, and most of them were also learned through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
