People come and go in the huge official post, and from time to time there are people walking around in it, and in many rooms, there are people dressed as assistants and staff members who take the letter bags, wooden boxes, and bamboo slips and scatter them to the official post in all directions, and there are also servants and military generals who lead horses in the stables and scatter to the city from the front and back doors.

The afternoon sun is already a little hot, but this official post in Ji County is still running in a way that exceeds the ordinary government. In the corner of the guest room, a young man in a wide robe was knocked on by the servant and raised his sleeves to cover his eyes when he came out of the guest room, his delicate face was slightly lazy, and he said a few perfunctory words to the servant, and then staggered to another guest room, knocked on the door, and soon after, the two young people went out, talking and laughing, and met several older colleagues on the way, and they walked towards the hall where Yuan Shao was.

The hall was delicately decorated, spacious and bright, and at this time there were attendants arranging the mats and tending the room.

Seeing that the preparations for the proceedings were proceeding in an orderly manner, Yuan Shao walked to a Bingjian on the left behind his seat, listened to the slightly noisy voices in the distance gradually approaching, took the long-handled fan in Xu You's hand, turned a few rolls, stared at the rotating bamboo fan, and smiled proudly, "Turn over your hands, you can't help them...... Ziyuan, did you ever think that there would be today? ”

Since it is about Liu Zheng - further, it is about Zhongxing Sword, Yuan Shao also has to be cautious. Recently, two young people related to the Xun family have come in with the staff, and they are quite confidant Guo Tu, Xu You also proposed to test the two of them in this way, Yuan Shao was a little suspicious of the purpose of the two of them coming here, so he naturally responded, and by the way, he was also ready to discuss the next strategic deployment.

At this time, listening to the noise caused by those staff and generals, I remembered that not long ago, he was still in Bohai and only negotiated important matters with Xu You, Feng Ji, and Chen Lin.

"Xu will follow the lord, and he has long thought that when my Xu family is ranked among the third dukes, it will be sooner or later that he will assist the lord to achieve the Duke of Jin Wen and the Duke of Qi Huan, how could he not have thought that one day he would discuss important matters with many colleagues who are rich in talents?" Xu You took out a square handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his face and smiled, "The main public commissar is really talented and ambitious, if he stays in the Yecheng Thorn Mansion one day and supervises the world, does he want to get up and laugh at night?" ”

Yuan Shao has been running around non-stop recently, busy and busy, occasionally laughing from time to time, these Xu You see it in his eyes, and he also understands that Yuan Shao once gained power, and he was complacent, at this time, he laughed, and did not forget to put pressure on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has always held grudges, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words, and then his eyebrows were slightly raised, "The heart of the villain of Han Wenjie, when he has to wait for this matter, he will definitely spare him in the future." ”

"We now occupy the Bohai Sea, we have recovered Wang Kuang, and it is also a matter of day and night for whales to swallow Hanoi, and Yuan Shanyang also intends to rely on us, and there is also a tendency to dominate the tiger. This time, Zang Hong was used to push many Taishou in Yanzhou as allies, split Yanzhou, and watched the movement, and secretly combined the power of Yuzhou to raise Kong Gongxu, so that he could convene the virtuous ministers and good generals of Yuzhou for us, and he would replace them one day......" Xu You once again put forward the previous strategy to Yuan Shao, and said: "It is not far for Ming Gong to take revenge on Han Fu and other people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

It's a pity that Liu Yu refused to be the emperor. With that guy's personality, Yuan could have had the foundation of Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Huan of Qi a long time ago. At that time, it is not impossible to ask Dong Zhuo for Uncle Ciyang's ......" Yuan Shao looked regretful, and saw that many staff members came in one by one calling him "Lord Gong" and "Ming Gong", nodded, and looked up at the southwest through the window with a slight confusion, "I don't know how dire the uncles in the court are." ”

Xu You immediately comforted many staff, and then sat down in the first seat on the right-hand side, and when the rest of the left staff and right generals sat down one by one, Yuan Shao asked Xu You to tell Liu Zheng about the experience of Liu Zheng's arrival in the sour jujube mentioned in Fengji's letter.

In the process, the two young people sitting in the last two positions on the right looked at each other, although they were silent, but their eyes contained a strange look.

After finishing speaking, the left and right generals and strategists opened their mouths to say something, Yuan Shao waved his hand to interrupt everyone's gossip, looked at Xu You, and muttered: "Liu Zheng is holding the Zhongxing sword, although he has cut his hair and confessed to the crime this time, it can still be described as nonsense, and now the generals of the allied army also have two thoughts about him, what do you think, what should Yuan do?" ”

"Zhongxing Sword is very important, in the past, it was Yuan Taifu and Wang Jingshi who were confused for a while, so Liu Zheng got it, since the lord is the leader of the alliance, and Liu Zheng is in the alliance again, he should naturally let Liu Zheng pay the sword."

"However, Liu Zheng is brave, but in the past, he was really incorruptible and shameful, and now he uses the Zhongxing sword as a prestige, and he is not a system, if he is not ordered to surrender the sword, this person thinks very highly of himself, and he will definitely destroy the alliance army one day."

"Dong Zhuo's meticulous work is a matter of great importance, and it must be strictly investigated, if there is really a meticulous work, he should be beheaded to show the public, in order to set an example. Since he is also suspicious, this time it is better to use this as an excuse to confiscate his Zhongxing sword. In the future, let the generals of the sour jujube monitor him together, and as soon as there is disobedience, he will lead the troops to surround and kill. ”

Guo Tu, who was sitting in the second position on the right-hand side, was the first to speak, and many staff generals echoed it, but after a while, Gao Lan, who was sitting on the side of the generals, spoke out against it: "This matter is not appropriate. Gao went to Youzhou with Mr. Xu in the past and saw Liu Zheng with his own eyes. This person is clever and swears in public to pacify the civil strife of the Han Dynasty. According to his past actions, if someone wants to take away his Zhongxing sword, he will never give up, unless he is given an official position to appease him and his subordinates. Otherwise, once he rises up to resist, with his words for the sake of the people, and the traces of Youzhou, he is afraid that the Bohai Sea will be in danger. ”

These truths are still worried afterwards that Gao Ran has always remembered Liu Zheng's words, and Xu You told him. No matter how righteous Liu Zheng said, no matter how lightly Liu Yu punished Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng's breaking of the rules is really a thing on the table, Gao Ran has always admired the food of Junlu and listened to the king's words, and he was quite disgusted with unruly people, but he was also strengthened by Xu Yu's set of words.

On the other hand, in the past, Xu You once said in a gloomy tone that there was no hope of unifying the entire Hebei, and these Gao Ran also kept it in mind, so that Xu You, who was already unfathomable in his eyes, could say such frustrating words, that is, the situation was special at that time, and Gao Ran was also quite jealous of Liu Zheng and those people, and felt that it was never a good thing to kill Liu Zheng.

As soon as Gao Ran spoke, many people frowned, but the two young people sitting at the end of the staff position frowned slightly, but the brows of the two had already wrinkled when Guo Tu spoke, and at this time they were actually a little relieved, and then they didn't speak, looked at each other, and thought about it.

"General Gao looks down on Liu Zheng. He said that he was a white body in the end, and he gained power with the Zhongxing Sword, and Liu Youzhou had concerns to spare his life. Now that he has disobeyed the lord and made several generals lose face, it can be seen that he has different intentions. Guo thought that he must have the heart of disobeying the lord and seeking power and usurping the throne, and if he was given an official position, he would be in trouble for raising tigers. I can't wait to take advantage of this matter and let the generals of Sour Zao plan a little, and then treat him as Dong Zhuo's meticulous work, or even a thief, if he surrenders his sword, and then gives him the right to lead the troops to fight, if not...... At that time, the Sour Jujube Alliance has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he has the courage of the overlord of Chu. ”

Guo Tu retorted to Gao Shun, and arched his hand at Yuan Shao and said: "Lord, although Liu Zheng has the support of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan is far away in Qingzhou, and it is difficult to solve the fire from afar. Now Xuande and they are still in Qingzhou to eliminate thieves, and there is also a letter that Qingzhou has no owner, I can't wait to stabilize Gongsun Zan with Qingzhou Thorn History, and then take the Zhongxing Sword in Liu Zheng's hand. Waiting for the lord to have a sword in his hand, he temporarily borrowed another Zhongxing sword from Xuande, and at that time, he waved his army westward and made Dong Zhuo surrender! With this matter, I think that General Cao will no longer speak out to defend Liu Zheng. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned. It is one thing for him to lead the general of the chariot and cavalry, but it is another thing for the Qingzhou Thorn History. If he can even appoint the Qingzhou Assassin by himself, then it will really be a separate court. Although he had this intention for a long time, he never dared to mention it, and when Guo Tu said it at this time, a strange emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

He glanced at everyone, and wanted to see everyone's attitude clearly, Xu You took the lead in tasting the meaning of Guo Tu's words, and leaned over slightly towards the huge Bingjian placed in the center, and the cool air was transmitted into the brocade clothes, and he frowned, "The Qingzhou Thorn History was canonized by the court, so we will not allow Dong Zhuo to interfere, and we will have to discuss this matter with many generals before making a decision." Although Gongsun Chan is a good general, there has been a gap with Liu Youzhou, this person is brave and brave, and there are many rebellious actions, if Gongsun Chan remembers that we killed Liu Zheng, once he stands firm in Qingzhou, we will raise a tiger and kill himself. Qingzhou is mostly yellow scarves, if Liu Zheng single-handedly breaks out of the encirclement, he will make a comeback, Brother Gong, you are letting the lord move stones and smash his feet. ”

Xu You was a little dissatisfied, this Guo Tu's flattering skills are first-class, but the strategy he thinks of is really not in the stream, if it weren't for the Yingchuan celebrity, who is quite popular, he really doesn't want to see this person when he is talking about business.

Yuan Shao also came to his senses, and when he talked about this matter, he didn't mention it to Xu You in private, but Xu You also said that he would suppress this heart first, and wait for someone to bring it up anxiously first, and then take advantage of the situation. However, what Xu You said was that the sour jujube thorn Shi Taishou came to mention this matter, in order to justify the name, and now Guo Tu proposed that there was something wrong with it.

However, the matter of Qingzhou also made him a little urgent, he would never allow others to take the lead, at this time, he waved his hand to interrupt Guo Tu's somewhat annoyed and angry words, thought about it, and said with a smile: "What you say is quite reasonable. However, it is also clear that Liu Zheng should not be underestimated. Yuan's letter to Liu Yanzhou to intercede for Liu Zheng in the past should be known to you. This time, Yuan still said the same thing, but there is the best of both worlds, so that Liu Zheng is willing to offer the Zhongxing sword, and then let him attack Dong Zhuo together to prove his innocence? ”

This is pre-designed, and it is only necessary for everyone to take a stand. Xu You also looked at the two young people at the end behind him, and answered: "Xu remembers, Youruo and Fengxiao have a lot of connections with the Xun family, and Liu Zheng is the son-in-law of Ci Minggong, what do you have in mind?" ”

The young man named Xun Chen Zi Youruo sat on the last second cushion, and he had not spoken before because he and Guo Jia, who was beside him, were still young, and they had just arrived, and they were still young and had little right to speak.

At this time, he was named, he glanced at Guo Jia on his side, and knew that Xu You was asking them to express his position, so he respectfully bowed his hand and said: "I can't hide it, Xun's two brothers, the second brother and all the clan brothers are now stranded in Youzhou to do things for Liu Youzhou...... Xing is still taking care of my brother Deran, and the eldest brother is now following the Gongsun Boqi, the commander of the cavalry, and is also strategizing in Qingzhou. The clan sister is now committed to Brother Deran, and Uncle Ciming's whereabouts are unknown, and it seems that he has moved west...... My Xun family can be said to be falling apart, each throwing itself into the mountains and forests. At this time, Xun really didn't want to see Brother Deran lose his reputation and even die because of his impulsiveness, and the clan blood was sad and sad about it. ”

Some people couldn't help but snort coldly, and some people smiled contemptuously. Xun Chen is only twenty-four or five years old, and he can become a staff member by virtue of his family background, and he may have talent, but everyone dares to defect to Yuan Shao, and he can be looked down upon, so he is naturally strategic and confident.

Now this mockery, firstly, is to ridicule the poor vision of the famous family of the Xun family, and secondly, it is also to despise Xun Chen's stunned behavior of describing the situation of the Xun family in front of everyone.

However, Guo Tu glanced coldly at everyone to show his dissatisfaction.

Guo Tu and Guo Jia are distant relatives of the same clan, according to generation, Guo Jia has to call him uncle, for Guo Jia's vision and talent, he is quite appreciative, and Guo Jia gets closer on weekdays, and also understands that Xun Chen's character and talent are superior, and he is by no means a mediocre person, so he also has a lot of appreciation and love for Xun Chen.

Of course, he thinks that his talent is not as good as the two, and he is quite different from the two young people in terms of political views, but he also has his own ideas.

Yuan Shao exclaimed: "If you are benevolent and righteous, since you are sad about this, can you have a countermeasure?" But it doesn't hurt if you say it's okay, if Yuan can take care of it, he will definitely take care of it. ”

Xun Chen thanked him, and then looked at Guo Jia and said: "Don't hide it from the lord, Fengxiao and I are both favored by the Xun family. Until I learned about it the day before yesterday, I thought that it would not be difficult for Brother Deran to be willing to submit to the lord. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao leaned over slightly, a little interested.

Xun Chen pondered his rhetoric for a moment and said, "I heard that my third brother Zhang Yide has recently arrived at Chaoge Lugut Mountain, why don't you send someone to say something?" If he doesn't follow, we will separate Zhang Yide and Yu Poison, and then in the name of eliminating thieves, conquer Yu Poison and arrest Zhang Yide. After that, we appointed Zhang Yide to lead the poisonous remnants of the army to Huai County first. My brother Deran will never abandon his brotherhood, and at that time, many flaws can be found. ”

"It's easy to say. Yu Poison is from the Black Mountain Army, if there is a mistake in the middle and the success falls short, then he will sacrifice the lives of my brothers in vain. When the time comes, Liu Zheng doesn't want to blame, he has to be beaten. With such a woman's kindness, it is better to let him know first, and there is no need for Xin Zhonglang to suffer from grounding. "Some generals are not convinced.

"The Montenegrin army is headed by Zhang Yan and Zhang Junan. Where did this man's words come from? With Mrs. Yuan's affection, could Zhang Yan still be the enemy of the lord? Yu Poison gathered in the mountains and wilderness this time, it was nothing, but the lord secretly Chen Cang, and Wang Hanoi wanted to secretly recruit troops and horses, for the sake of the common people, he stayed out of the matter, it was disloyal and unjust, and even the Black Mountain Army could not tolerate him. Since my brother Deran has publicly threatened that this person has been used by him, he also has the duty to participate in the war. With these two things, he can't defend Lugut Mountain anymore. ”

Xun Chen said calmly, "The matter of discussing Dong is urgent, and there is no need to be too rigid in the subsections." For today's plan, overcoming the poison is to let Brother Deran know the determination of the lord not to be provoked. To take down Zhang Yide is to ask Brother Deran to throw a mouse bogey, and he doesn't dare to come nonsense. As for Dong Zhuo's meticulous work, the allied army is so numerous, it is not appropriate to mobilize the whole body and make a big move. In Xun's humble opinion, Brother Deran will definitely attack Dong Zhuo to prove his innocence, why can't I fulfill him? Let General Xin be on the side. The rights and wrongs of the two of them will be known when they attack Dong Zhuo. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao suddenly looked at Xu You, Xu You knew that Yuan Shao was afraid of sending troops, but he immediately blinked, causing Yuan Shao to be in a slight trance, and then regained his expression.

At the same time, a general spoke: "Liu Zhengruo has taken the lead......

As soon as the general spoke, Guo Jia in the rear shook his head lazily, and said in a calm tone: "Isn't General Xin here?" Again, this is a temptation. Xu Rong is a fierce general under Dong Zhuo, brave and strategic, and his subordinates are also elite generals, with him stationed in Xingyang, although across the river, Huai County, the seat of Hanoi County, is still a threat. Huaixian, we will accompany Wang Hanoi on a trip after all. Just let them cover. You can also look at Dong Zhuo's reaction, as well as the response of the adults in the court. ”

The Guo family rubbed his itchy nose and said indifferently: "If everything goes well, maybe I can cross the river and capture Xingyang, and go down to the city first." This matter is facilitated by us, and the lord will definitely be able to deter Dong Zhuo and attract people from all over the world to vote. ”

As soon as he said this, Guo Tu immediately seconded it, Guo Tu opened his mouth, and several staff generals close to him also spoke up.

Yuan Shao hesitated a little, and then saw that Xu You and the rest of the people also gave up their hands, so he had to agree for the time being, and when he asked a few more things, arranged a meeting with Wang Kuang, and soon after, everyone dispersed, and he looked at Xu You with some hesitation.
