Julu is too shou Xinxing, and he is the brother of Yuan Shao's adviser Xin Bi Xinping.

The three brothers of the Xin family served Yuan Shao together, which can be described as Yuan Shao's sworn friend, this time Yuan Shao was defeated, and finally fell into desperation, and accepted Cao Cao's false reward in the name of the Son of Heaven and went to Xu Capital as a personal setting.

Yuan Shao took his subordinates to Xudu, and his eldest brother Xin Bi also surrendered to Cao Cao with Yuan Shao, but Xin Ping did not go, but ran to his second brother, Julu Taishou Xinxing, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

In Xin Ping's opinion, Cao Cao, the traitor of the Han Dynasty, and his own dignified Han scholar and official, how can he serve the traitor? There is another point, that is, Xin Ping is different from his brother, he is not optimistic about Cao Cao's future, especially his character, that is, the sentence that has been circulated in the world: "I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me" The declaration is destined to Cao Cao is a person who employs people in the front, and does not need to let go of the cold temperament, how can such a person serve and follow?

At the same time, there is another point, that is, the Xin brothers have always been loyal to Yuan Shao, the defeat of the battle of Guandu, their brothers have always had different views from others, their brothers believe that Yuan Shao's defeat is not caused by the indecision of the lord and the lack of advice, not caused by the sudden stab in the back of Lu Peng, who does not speak of credibility, but caused by Cao Cao's conspiracy and villainy, so Cao Cao is the big enemy of Yuan Shao's group (they finally found the right direction).

But let him surrender to Lu Peng, the two of them were unwilling in their hearts, Lu Peng, after all, was still the culprit who caused the defeat of the Battle of Guandu, and he was in the company of the enemy, never. So in the hearts of the two brothers, they still fantasized that one day, their lord would come back again, and his brother would leave a foundation for the old lord.

However, the current situation made the two brothers extremely anxious, and now Julu County is almost in a situation where there are enemies all around.

The north and west and south are all occupied by Lu Peng, and the east is Anping occupied by Xu Huang, and Julu's strength is very weak now, originally there were 600,000 mouths, but after years of war, a large number of people died and lost, and now although they are under the care of the two brothers day and night, they are much better than other counties, but they only have 10,000 soldiers and 200,000 mouths, and they can't fight against Lu Peng at all.

"What now?" Xin Xing's ability to govern the place is the first among the three brothers, but he is not as good as his brother Xin Ping in terms of wisdom.

Xin Ping frowned and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said to his brother: "Xu Huang sent by Cao Cao is calm and capable, and he is a rare handsome talent of the Han Dynasty. Xu Huang, as a state assassin, will definitely not allow us to be his enemy here. ”

"But Lu Peng is a tiger wolf, now he has completely occupied our merger state, and Zhao Yun soldiers rushed directly to the Yellow River out of the merger state, surrounded us here, and Lu Peng also went south from the river, detoured back to the bank of the Yellow River, and now the entire Yizhou, there are already 2/3 of the place controlled by Lu Peng, I think Lu Peng will never allow us to develop here alone."

The two brothers are right in their analysis, but it is exactly like this, the more they analyze, the more they find that the future is bleak, and the idea that they wanted to leave a vitality for their old lord is almost impossible to realize, so what they have to do now is how to preserve a little strength.

After thinking about it carefully, Xin Xing said cautiously: "Judging from Xu Huang's approach to the Lu family brothers, they have been promoted to official titles, their military power has been retained, and the most important thing is to retain their military power, so I think that at this difficult moment, our brothers should be wronged and seek perfection, and first develop Anshun under Xu Huang's wing, so as to have opportunities in the future." ”

Xin Ping immediately objected to his brother's suggestion: "Xu Huang, Cao Zhi's lackey, we will die, and we will never fight thieves." ”

Xin Xing said bitterly: "However, now that the general trend is like this, how can we reverse it, now it seems that our original idea of leaving a little foundation for the lord in Yizhou is probably going to become a utopia." ”

Now, Xin Ping also felt that his original ideas were too naïve, and the two forces they faced were too powerful, so they fell to the point where they couldn't go up and down now.

Since he can't surrender to Lu Peng, and he resolutely refuses to be with traitors, where is the way out?

Xin Xing sat down in his position dejectedly, covered his head and sighed: "From the news from the eldest brother recently, the lord has been depressed in Xu Du, he is seriously ill, and the three sons are also doing nothing, and now they are making trouble about inheriting the title after the death of the lord, and when they return to their hometown, there is no hope of making a comeback." ”

Xin Ping also lowered his head in frustration, the lord he was loyal to and his family were like this, so what was the use of what he was planning?

"No matter what, I will never surrender to the enemy Lu Peng, and I will never be in the company of traitors, this is a matter of principle." Xin Xing slammed his fist on the table in hatred.

Xin Ping also has the same thoughts as his brother, but the future is bleak, the left and right are enemies, and it is difficult for his two brothers to succeed, after thinking about it carefully, Xin Ping gritted his teeth and said: "Since you and my brother can't succeed, then we must not let Cao Thief and Lu Peng bastards get benefits, we must pull the two of them into the water and provoke them to fight." ”

Xin Xing's cruel words made Xin Xing move, and he hurriedly asked his brother: "How should we provoke a war between Cao Thief and Lu Thief?" Looking at the way they look now, it seems that they don't really want to fight. ”

Xin Ping said gloomily: "We implemented the plan of killing three soldiers with two peaches." ”

Xin Xing became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Why did two peaches kill three soldiers?" "I've heard the idiom, and the story is clear, but how to implement it here is to ask clearly.

Xin Ping said indifferently: "Since we can't succeed, then we will use the giant deer as peaches to provoke Cao Cao and Lu Peng to fight, and it can be regarded as avenging those brothers who died on the battlefield, so we will give the giant deer to Xu Huang first." ”

Xin Xing nodded: "Xu Huang sent a messenger a few days ago to let us naturalize orthodoxy and promise to give us money and food. ”

"Then we will send a secret envoy to Lu Peng to dedicate the giant deer to Lu Peng, but it is said that Xu Huang is seriously persecuted, and we ask Lu Peng to send troops to destroy Xu Huang first, so that we can return to it with peace of mind."

Xin Xing clapped his hands: "A good one daughter and two marriages, a good two peach kills three soldiers." As long as Lu Peng and Xu Huang fight, no matter what Cao Cao thinks, he must send troops to reinforce Xu Huang, at that time, Cao Lu and the two thieves have a scuffle, we can all take the opportunity to act, maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to pick up a certain son (Yuan Shao's son) and then put up a big banner. ”

Xin Ping's eyes were also bright at this time, and he really began to be eager to try.
