Yecheng, Yuan Shao's mansion, all the civil ministers and military generals Qi Bi, Wen You, Guo Tu, Trial, Feng Ji, Xu You, etc.

Although the generals are without Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there are still Zhang He and Gao Lan, two generals; In addition, there are Jiang Yiqu, Lu Weihuang, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, nephew Gao Gan, and three sons Yuan Shang.

For his youngest son Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao liked him very much, not only kept him by his side, but also gave him a team of thousands of people, which shows how much he attaches importance to it.

And Yuan Shang did not live up to Yuan Shao's expectations, his martial arts are not weak, although compared with Zhang He and Gao Lan, generals like Jizhou Tingzhu, but compared with ordinary generals, they are not lagging behind.

And more importantly, Yuan Shang looks quite similar to Yuan Shao, and his speech and demeanor are also very decent, so Yuan Shao can cultivate him.

At this moment, all the civil and military forces gathered, and Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, stepped forward and said, "Father, this rally, is there any discussion about entering Zhao Qian?" Please avenge me, father! ”

Yuan Xi said, pointing to his eyes, which was blinded by Zhang Ning when he was chasing Zhen Mi, and now there is only one left, and the other is covered with a black leather cloth, which looks quite awkward.

This Yuan Xi's personality was not very pleasing to Yuan Shao, but now after a blind glance, his temper is even more abusive, and he often goes out to cause trouble, which makes Yuan Shao more and more disgusted.

"Soldiers, the country's heavy weapon, the strategists and generals have not yet made a decision, you are a boy, what is arrogant? Don't quit yet! Yuan Shao shouted with a bad face.

Yuan Xi was drunk by Yuan Shao, but he didn't dare to refute, he just gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and returned to his seat with his chest.

"Father, if I go on an expedition, I would like to be a pioneer." Yuan Shang continued at this time.

Looking at Yuan Shao again, his face changed suddenly, he smiled slightly, and said: "My son has this heart, and I am very comforted, but the battle between the two armies is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Guo Tu rolled his eyes and said: "Lord, now that the weather is warmer, after a few months, after a few months, the grain will be harvested, and you can use troops against Zhao Qian." ”

The frustration next to him said: "Lord, it is not appropriate to use troops against Zhao Qian at this time. ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Why is this?" ”

"Now Yanzhou and Xuzhou are not at peace. Tao Qian was just attacked by Cao Cao, lost Pengcheng, and lost the western gateway of Xuzhou, which can be said to have hurt his vitality; In Yanzhou, the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao was even more anxious. I thought that the lord could profit from this. Frustrated said.

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and asked, "What's the benefit?" ”

"I heard before that Tao Qian once begged Yu Xiansi for help, but because the eldest prince had few soldiers, he only sent Cen Bi to lead a few thousand people, but he was repelled by Cao Cao, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Frustrated asked rhetorically.

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "No, this matter has already been reported to me, and everyone must know about it." ”

"If this is the case, you can increase the number of troops for the eldest prince, and then expand to the south in the name of helping Tao Qian." Frustrated said.

"To the south?"

Yuan Shao was a little puzzled, Qingzhou to the south is the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, how can he easily enter it?

Fu Zhu smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that there is a group of thieves in Taishan County, Yanzhou, led by Sun Guan and Yin Li, who rebelled against the government and robbed the people, so that the eldest prince could garrison Dongguan County, Xuzhou in the name of paying the thieves. ”

Yuan Shao frowned, and said: "That Taishan thief I have also heard that its combat power is no less than that of Black Mountain and Baibo, and if you send troops to capture thieves for no reason, I am afraid that you will lose your troops and lose more than you lose." ”

Fu Zhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just that in the name of thieves, I entered Dongguan County, and the real purpose is to wait and see the dynamics of Xuzhou." ”

"What else is there to wait and see in Xuzhou?" Yuan Shao asked.

He replied: "That Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's father, it can be said that he is not a common enemy, Cao Cao retreated this time, just because Liu Bei set fire to his Yanzhou backyard, and when Yanzhou is pacified, he will definitely send troops to Xuzhou again." ”

"What Mr. Gong and Mr. mean, is Liu Bei's enemy but Cao Cao?" Feng Ji asked.

He smiled and said: "Obviously, Liu Beiwen is no more than Chen Gong, no more than Guan Yu and Zhang Chao, and his foundation in Yanzhou is unstable. ”

"Now that the two are facing each other, the winner is especially inseparable." The judge also said.

Fu Zhu snorted lightly and said: "At the beginning, it was indeed Liu Bei who had the upper hand, but now that Cao Cao has controlled most of Yanzhou, it is only a matter of time before he wins." ”

"I don't care which of the two of them wins, I just ask He Li and me?" Yuan Shao asked impatiently.

Fu Zhi nodded, and continued: "After Cao Cao wins, he will inevitably attack Xuzhou again, but after Cao Cao and Tao Qian are both defeated, I will go south from Qingzhou and defeat the two of them in one fell swoop, then Xuzhou and Yanzhou will be under the jurisdiction of the lord." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes lit up, and before he could speak, the judge next to him said, "Then what if Cao Cao loses to Liu Bei?" ”

After laughing, he said: "If Liu Bei can defeat Cao Cao, it will inevitably pay a considerable price. As for Xuzhou, Tao Qian is old and does not need to worry, besides, there is an eldest prince in Dongguan County, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, and sooner or later he will also be the lord. ”

Yuan Shao was very interested when he heard it, after all, it was a land of two states, and no one would not be tempted.

"It's just that I have a friendship with Meng De, so I'm afraid it's not very good to do this." Yuan Shao said with some scruples, he still cares about reputation very much.

Fu Zhu snorted coldly and said: "Lord, then Cao Cao and Zhao Qian secretly communicated and killed Lu Bu together, at that time, did he remember the friendship with the lord?" ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shao suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "If it weren't for the public and reminding me, I would have almost missed the big event." Do you have any opinions? ”

As soon as Guo Tu heard Yuan Shao's question, he hurriedly said: "I agree with the public to say that the eldest prince Xiansi is stationed in Qingzhou, and there are indeed too few soldiers and horses under his command, so he must increase his troops to control Yanxu Erzhou!" ”

Xin Ping also said: "It should be so, the former Tao Qian asked for help, although the eldest prince sent troops, but because of the small number of soldiers, he returned in vain, which only increased the laughing stock of the world." ”

Guo Tu and Xin Ping were friends with the eldest prince Yuan Tan, and this matter was beneficial to Yuan Tan, so the two immediately agreed.

And the trial and Feng Ji supported Yuan Shang, so when they were frustrated, they made things difficult everywhere, and when they saw that Yuan Shao was about to agree, they couldn't help but feel anxious.

Just about to open his mouth to object, Yuan Shao stretched out his hand, blocked the words of the two of them, and said: "Since Gongzhi and Zhongzhi agree, then according to Gonghe and Mr. Gonghe, increase the number of troops to Qingzhou by 20,000!" ”
