In the hall, Xu Yu dispersed the guards outside the door, came to Yuan Shao's side and bowed and said, "Lord, this battle can be fought." ”

Yuan Shao said: "In the past, you and Yuan Tu said together, if the war starts, Liu Dai and the others will be enmity with Dong Zhuo, and then they will have to put aside their personal grudges and besiege Dong Zhuo. When they work together, there is no opportunity for us to take advantage of, so why did they change their hexagram today? ”

Xu You smiled slightly, and bent his waist lower: "The dispute between Qiao Mao and Liu Dai has begun to emerge, and as soon as Liu Zheng arrives, the allied forces have become two factions. Even if some people try to stay out of it, there are already cracks inside. If the Lord ordered people to attack Dong Zhuo together, it would only make the allies transfer such a disaster to others for self-preservation, so we have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Yuan Shao was silent, his expression was slightly dazed, and Xu You smiled: "Huai County is the Hanoi Governance Office, and we will definitely go." The darkness of Chen Cang was originally used to drag down the allied army, and it also had the intention of taking advantage of the poison to attack its camp. Now that Liu Zheng arrived, and Dong Zhuo's words came over, we went to Huai County openly on the grounds that the news was leaked, and after recovering the poison. At that time, we and the sour jujube alliance army will advance in two ways, which can also make Dong Zhuo frightened. Then there is Liu Zheng and General Xin's self-proof of innocence, which can be described as a multiplicity. ”

On the other side, in the guest room, Guo Jia Xiang Xun Chen and Guo Tu were also saying similar words to Xu You, and then the conversation changed: "If people know that the lord and Wang Kuang have arrived in Hanoi, because they are afraid of Dong Zhuo, even Huaixian does not dare to go back blatantly, it is to hide from the sky and the sea, but there is still a river in the middle, and there is no attack, it is just camping, if Dong Zhuo spreads rumors of the lord's cowardice, the lord will make people laugh and lose his big teeth, and his reputation will be ruined." ”

Xun Chen nodded and said: "Huai County is the center of the entire Hanoi, and the news of the court, the trends in Hanoi, and even the recruitment of troops can only be best implemented in Huai County." Gaining a foothold in Huai County can also make Xu Rong, the defender of Xingyang in the south, like a mang, with the allied army leading the troops westward, it is easy for the Xingyang army to fluctuate. At that time, it will not be difficult for us to capture Xingyang, and even advance westward to the revolving gate. ”

The revolving gate pass is located in Chenggao County in the west of Xingyang, also known as the Tiger Prison Pass, Bishui Pass, because King Zhou Mu is in this pass to lock the tiger, the water flows into Chenggao County and has another name, this pass is the east gateway of Luoyang, north of the Yellow River, south of the Songshan remaining vein, to overlap the mountains for the natural danger and build the pass. As long as an army is stationed here, it cannot be easily broken even if thousands of troops come over. But it is also because of this that as long as the allied forces attack here, Dong Zhuo's army of tens of thousands of people can be left here, and they will continue to consume the troops, food, grass and armaments of Luoyang.

Guo Tu thought of this and muttered: "Then, we can go west along the river and attack Luoyang while we are weak, I am only afraid of this matter."

As soon as Guo Tu spoke, Guo Jia and Xun Chen glanced at each other, their eyes were bright, and then Guo Jia smiled: "I expected Xu Changshi to agree at this time, and I already expected this matter." As for the westward march along the river, it is not that no one of our allied troops has come by boat to transport troops and grain. ”

Guo Tu was stunned, "You mean?"

"Yes, it is Min Chun, Zhao Fu and others under Han Fu. He is my long. We will call them to this matter, and they will not fail to come. Han Fu thought that he would also send someone else to preside over the matter of sour jujube grain and grass. The lord has forgotten that the frustrated prince has now taken refuge in Yecheng, and there is a nearly 10% chance that he will replace Min Chun as a different driver, if Min Chun comes here, can I recruit him? It's not him, as long as Zhao Fuchenghuan and those people come over, we can also persuade those people to surrender and persuade those people to take refuge in us. ”

After Xu You said something similar to what Guo Jia and Xun Chen said, he smiled, "Lord, do you remember that when you were still in Bohai in the past, Yuan Tu once said that after noticing that he was being watched by Han Fu, he said that he was forced to give up Jizhou by external forces?" ”

Yuan Shao suddenly, the corners of his mouth grinned uncontrollably, and he hurriedly turned the long-handled fan to help Xu Yu fan the wind, "Ziyuan has thought of the candidate for that external force?" ”

Xu You didn't push Yuan Shao's courtesy, his face was solemn, "Not bad!" Xu thought that Gongsun Chan was the external force! ”

"Uh, it's not that you don't want to give up Qingzhou to Gongsun Zhan, he doesn't have Qingzhou, why?"

"The lord is not going to take the school Xu Mou! Qingzhou and his party, Gongsun Chan is bound to be powerful, that is, he has no intention of Jizhou, but there are always bandits in Qingzhou who flee into Jizhou, as long as we rumor in front of Han Fu for a while, there will be a gap between him and Gongsun Zhan, that is, there is no attack, Han Fu and other people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is difficult to say that they will not seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and give Jizhou to the lord. One is that he used to monitor the lord, and he was also worried about it, and he was already timid, second, Gongsun Zan was threatening outside, and third, the lord had made friends with many of his assistants, and he was a protégé disciple of the lord's family, what if the officials also let him go out of Jizhou first? You say, "Is that possible?" ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, "Then when will this matter be carried out?" ”

"Immediately. As long as the main public repairs a letter, let Kong Zhang and Chen Lin secretly guard Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu knows the movement, and will definitely send someone to ask, Kong Zhang pretends not to know, Han Fu will definitely be cranky. After a long time, Kong Zhang did not send troops, and Han Fu would definitely guess that he was guarding against Gongsun Zhan. At that time, the expansion of Gongsun Zhan's ambitions and the destruction of the false path will be publicized, Han Fu hehehe"

Xu You smiled slyly, but Yuan Shao was stunned, "Xuande, just let him come directly!" He laughed as he spoke, pulled Xu You to sit down, poured a glass of wine and said: "I have a son as far as a ovary, great goodness!" ”

At the same time, in the guest room, Guo Tu had already left after Guo Jia and Xun Chen deduced the situation of Min Chun and others being ordered to come over and wave their troops in Luoyang, Guo Jia was lying on the bamboo mat on the floor, fanning his fan, his posture was lazy, and his expression was a little unrelenting when he looked out of the window.

Xun Chen knelt and sat on the side, flipping through a few rolls of bamboo slips, turned his head and was about to speak, when he saw this, he hit Guo Jia's leg with his knee, "Something?" ”

Guo Jia yawned and smiled slightly, "Didn't you already know that I had something on my mind?" ”

Xun Chen smiled, "I noticed it." But if you don't say, how do I know if I'm right? He moved his legs and knelt beside the Guo family, raised his eyebrows and said, "You and my brother, now that we are in a foreign land, we must support each other." Let's talk about it, and I'll help you with the details. ”

Guo Jia changed to a comfortable lying position and looked at the ceiling, "You say, does our lord really care about the safety of Mrs. Yuan and the Yuan family in Luoyang?" ”

Xun Chen hurriedly gathered his face. If it weren't for some suspicion of Yuan Shao, he would never ask such a thing. Xun Chen knew that Guo Jia was a little absent-minded these days, and thought that it might be that Guo Jia had been unaccustomed to the soil recently, and the reason why his body was a little weak was among them, and he would put aside those cranky thoughts in a few days.

Now that he heard this question, he knew that Guo Jia had already come up with the idea of leaving, and Guo Jia would bring up this matter, which showed that he had a strong intention, and as long as he agreed, the two would leave immediately.

Xun Chen looked out of the door, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "How long have you and I been serving the lord?" Do you think that the lord is not a good man? ”

Guo Jia looked over and smiled, "That's not what I said. ”

"That's what you mean!"

"That's what I mean. What do you think? ”

Xun Chen was speechless for a while, and after a while, he turned his head and shook his head: "You are a little ridiculous." ”

"Jokes. The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king. If the monarch is not a virtuous and virtuous person, he is not allowed to go to another door and find a Ming monarch who can buy horse bones for a thousand dollars? Guo Jia sat up, placed one hand casually on his bent knees, and snatched the bamboo slip in Xun Chen's hand with the other hand, and threw it on the mat, "Look at what is written on it." If you are a fool today, I will not say it. But you can't see it clearly, most of the news it says has nothing to do with the attack on Dong Zhuo. Now that the big man is like this, he still thinks about those small profits, are you really willing to deceive yourself and others, and you are here to assist? ”

"Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, since they are under the lord's door, they must not have two hearts." Xun Chen looked out of the door, his eyes slightly confused, "Besides, what is a small profit?" Isn't it good to make a fortune in the Bohai Sea, take Shanyang, Hanoi, and then map Jizhou, Yanzhou, and even Yuzhou, and even the world? ”

"Do you really think so?" Guo Jia lay down again, crossed Erlang's legs, and shook casually, "Do things without distinction, virtuous talents must not be reused, only the appearance of Corporal Zhou Gonglixian, but useless people's abilities, greedy for pleasure, resourceful, and selfish"

"Look at what you do! Frivolous and arrogant! Xun Chen patted Guo Jia's leg and said angrily: "Shouldn't you be glad to be able to enter the Staff Mansion at such an age?" Who would use you so much? ”

"Ha, you're humiliating yourself by saying that. Isn't your brother Deran valuing me? Guo Jia smiled.

Xun Chen squinted at the past and sneered with a smile, "Will you go?" Can you still go? ”

"Liu Deran is too nonsense, just like the lord, so I naturally won't go." Guo Jia's expression froze, "But I can still find someone else!" Cao Mengde is not bad. If he doesn't work, I'll find someone else. I don't believe it, with Guo's talent, the world is so big, I can't find a loyal minister to assist me, and I can't get reused. ”

"Then you still help the lord with ideas today?" Xun Chen's smile became more and more contemptuous, Guo Jia rolled his eyes, lay with his back to Xun Chen, and said in a wistful tone: "Isn't that yet another door." Besides, since I have the heart to challenge Brother Gongda, how can I not do something? ”

Xun Chen narrowed his face when he heard this, "Hey, you said that Gongda is not with Brother Deran, where did he go?" ”

"He has always had treacherous ideas, and he has some experience in Youzhou, how do I know?" Guo Jia rolled his eyes, listened to Xun Chen's question, and threw the fan on Xun Chen's back with some impatience, "Noise." Guo is tired, if you don't want to go, you mosquito, just settle down. There is a military consultation, and we will talk about it when Guo wakes up. ”

Xun Chen grabbed the fan, frowned, looked at Guo Jia's back deeply, hesitated for a long time, fanned Guo Jia, and said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, how about staying for a few more days?" ”

The cicadas outside the window suddenly chirped, and the room was quiet, and after a while, there was a faint sound, "I'll wait for the end of the discussion to see if the lord is really not in Luoyang Well, Brother Gongda should be in Lugushan now, or in Yingchuan, Nanyang, or Youzhou, I am not a god, who knows, maybe it's good to die, don't say it, you continue to read, I'll sleep for a while." I've been awake for an hour, I'm so tired."

"Ahh , Xun You sneezed, pulled down his mask, wiped his nose with a square handkerchief, stretched out his hand from the quilt, and said extremely weakly: "Uncle, Uncle Qi, medicine, is the medicine good?"

"Don't rush it, you can't do it." Xun Qi knelt on the front of the bed next to him, reading the newspapers and military information from all directions, and slapped the fan in his hand on the bed irritably.

Xun You was kneeling on the bed at this time, the whole person was wrapped in a thick quilt and curled up, like a pig arching the bed, as soon as the fan came, he felt the wind, his expression was slightly soothing, and then he put his head against the bed, wiped off the sweat on his head, weak and irritable: "It's so hot, Boqi, will it be for the brother, will it die like this?"

"Don't bother, okay! Sleep yours! Xun Qi said angrily, then walked out of the door and looked at the medicine pot on the stove under the shed outside the door, pulled down the mask and took a few breaths, and then walked into the house, "It's not good, there is still half an hour." ”

Xun Yu grabbed the fan with his hand and stretched out towards the bamboo slips placed on the long table, and Xun Qi snatched the fan.

Xun Qi pinched one end of the fan with his thumb and index finger and walked to the side to pour hot water to soak, then picked up another fan and fanned it a few times, looking at Xun You's hand still stretching out of the bed weakly, and said helplessly: "My Gongda brother, Gongda uncle, Gongda grandfather."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

"You!" Seeing that Xun You still had an empty flamboyant tongue, Xun Qi rolled his eyes, "Just when I beg you, you can sleep well, and many things will be taken care of by your younger brother." Outside, Yun Chang, Gong Tao, and Bu Ji are also there. If there's any emergency, they'll come here, and I'll wake you up again. Don't make a fuss, okay? You're just an ordinary wind chill, and it's okay. In the future, there is time, and it is not bad for these days. ”

"I still have dysentery"

"Didn't a doctor show you, it's fine."

"No, my time is really running out, Niu Fu is in a hurry, I heard that Guo Yan is also here, you let me take a look, let me make a contribution before I die." If I can't wait for the right moment, then"

"Who the hell told you to sleep with Bingjian! You deserve it! It also bothered me! ! Xun Qi pressed Xun You's head and stuffed it into the bed.

He thought it was funny and angry. A while ago, they came from Taiyuan County, Bingzhou, and Zhang Yang Yufuluo contacted, Xun You Baoru was moved with affection, and sent jewelry and property, and even took out a lot of training experience, Zhang Yang Yufuluo was finally moved, and then gathered a large army to attack the city in various parts of Bingzhou, steadily devoured Bingzhou, blocked Dong Zhuo's action of recruiting troops and horses in Bingzhou, collecting grain and grass, and gave Xun You a lot of elite soldiers and horses.

Speaking of which, when it comes to Liu Zheng's undercover agent, and even blocking Dong Zhuo's relocation to Chang'an, Xun You didn't say anything to Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang. He originally had the intention of letting Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo take refuge in them, but both of them were generals of one side, and they didn't know much about Liu Zheng who was holding the Zhongxing sword, and they didn't have any awe, so they only said that they could cooperate, and it was impossible to take refuge.

So Xun You also retreated to the next best, only letting Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang operate within the conjugated states, and also asked Zheng Gu to assist Zhang Yang so that it would be easier to monitor, so as not to lead their subordinates to attack Hedong County and disrupt their deployment.

In those days, although he gave up the three or four thousand people who were solid, but also got three or four thousand elite soldiers and horses, Xun You was naturally happy, plus there was Bu Ji's recommendation, and Hu Cai took the bridge, and Guo Tai, the commander of the Baibo Army, also agreed to cooperate with them, so Xun You set up a banquet for many days.

I didn't expect to drink too much a few days ago, coupled with the hot weather, Xun You actually got up at night and fell asleep with Bingjian, the next day when Xun Qi came in, Bingjian was almost empty, this guy was still soaked, his lips were still frozen purple, and he didn't know how much ice he ate at night, and he knew that Xun You had a fever and broke his stomach, which coincided with Niu Fu's attack on the Baibo Army becoming more and more fierce, and the whole yard was full of chickens and dogs, and in the end, Xun Qi stayed to take care of Xun You, and it was also convenient to pass on news to the outside world.

Xun Qi knew that Xun You was actually weak-hearted, so he was gagging while thinking about doing something more, but the weather like this was really unlucky, and he also hoped that Xun You would recuperate as soon as possible, and let him get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and be able to go out to do things.

At this time, the two quarreled for a while, and it didn't take long for a shout to sound outside the house, it was Zhao Qian's voice.
