Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision, Fu Zhi hurriedly got up and bowed down, and said: "The lord is wise, in this way, the lord can balance the princes of Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei without spending a single soldier, as long as the time is ripe, there will be great gains." ”

Yuan Shao nodded, very happy, as if he had already obtained the land of Liangzhou, and said with a smile: "If you can succeed, it is all your work." ”

"The lord is wise!" Guo Tu and Xin Ping were also grateful for flattery.

Judging and Feng Ji glanced at each other, the former stood up and asked, "Lord, if you increase your troops in Qingzhou, how to deal with Zhao Qian?" ”

"This?" Yuan Shao was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it, just hearing the benefits of frustration just now, but he didn't think about this problem.

However, he had just given the order, so naturally he couldn't take it back, so he said: "At this time, the public and the public must have a countermeasure, and we can listen to it." ”

Yuan Shao directly threw this problem back to Fu Zhi and started to be the shopkeeper.

Frustrated with his eyes narrowed, he said, "If you want to obtain the land of one state, or even the land of two states, you must make peace with Zhao Qian at present. ”

"What? Absolutely not!"

Yuan Shao hadn't spoken yet, and Yuan Xi next to him immediately stopped doing it, shouting loudly, indicating that he disagreed.

"Father, if I lose this eye, I can't get rid of Zhao Qian, and I am inseparable from him!" Yuan Xi said angrily.

Yuan Shang also frowned and said, "Father, if you make peace with Zhao Qian, wouldn't it show weakness and make the world laugh?" ”

The judge also hurriedly said: "What the third prince said is that the two armies are fighting against each other, and the momentum is superior, and now they take the initiative to show weakness, won't it make the morale of our army plummet, and when the time comes, it will be unfavorable to our army." ”

"Asking for non is to show weakness, if you can get Xuzhou or Yanzhou, the power of the lord will increase greatly, and then start a war with Zhao Qian, our army will have a great advantage psychologically, and it will be able to crush Zhao Qian!" Frustrated said.

Feng Ji snorted coldly and said, "The lord is meddling in the affairs of Xuzhou, so how can Zhao Qian sit idly by?" ”

"Don't worry, Bingzhou is not richer than Jizhou, and Zhao Qian will definitely not come to attack Jizhou." Frustrated said.

"Why is that?" The judge asked.

Fu Zhu smiled slightly, and said: "Zhao Qian's behavior can represent the Son of Heaven, if Zhao Qian does not have a very suitable reason, he will attack Jizhou, what does this make the other princes think?" ”

"The other princes will definitely think, after fighting Jizhou, will the next one come to fight me?" Guo Tu answered at the right time.

Because the strategy proposed by Fu Zhu was very beneficial to Yuan Tan, who he supported, this time, Guo Tu and Xin Ping began to help Fu Zhu.

Xin Ping continued: "If that's the case, the princes of the world will attack it en masse, just like the crusade against Dong Zhuo back then. ”

Fu Zhi nodded and said, "Zhong Zhi's words are very true, this is definitely not the situation that Zhao Qian expects to see. ”

"But there are also Zhang Yan of Montenegro and Tian Feng of Youzhou, who are eyeing Jizhou." The judge added.

Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "Their main role is to resist Xianbei and Karasuma who are heading south, and they will definitely not use troops easily. ”

The judge and Feng Ji glanced at each other, but did not speak, and it seemed that they had nothing to say.

Yuan Shao saw that everyone had been convinced, so he said: "Okay, let's get here today, and after I go back, I will deploy according to Gonghe's proposal." ”

Everyone took the order and left, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had a look of resentment, but there was nothing to be done, the decision made by Yuan Shao was not allowed to be changed.

A few days later, an army of 20,000 troops, led by the general Peng An, set out from Jizhou and rushed to Qingzhou.

After seeing 20,000 horses, Yuan Tan was very happy, and immediately ordered Peng An to lead 15,000 people, with Cen Bi as the deputy general, and stationed in Dongguan County, Xuzhou.

The news soon spread to Xiapi City, and Tao Qian hurriedly summoned his civil and military generals to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I got the news that Peng An, the general under Yuan Tan's command, led 15,000 men and horses to Dongguan County, what do you think?" Tao Qian asked.

Mi Zhu frowned and said, "Entering Dongguan County, its meaning is unclear, and you need to be cautious. ”

"Report!" Outside, the voice of the messenger came in.

Tao Qian frowned and said, "Come in and report." ”

The messenger walked in, presented a military report with both hands, and said, "Lord Qi, this is sent by Peng Antuo, the general under Yuan Tan." ”

"Well, got it, you go down first." Tao Qian said.

After the summoner gave a salute, outside the door, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others were left, looking at the military newspaper in Tao Qian's hand curiously, not knowing what Peng An would write to him.

"Lord, what did Peng An say?" Cao Bao asked.

Tao Qian sneered and said, "Hmph, then Peng An explained why he wanted to enter Dongguan County. ”

"Why?" Chen Deng also asked.

Tao Qian unfolded the military report and said: "Then Peng An said that Cen Bi supported Xuzhou before, and when he returned, he was disturbed by Taishan thieves, and this time he came to suppress the thieves." ”

"It's an excuse!" Mi Zhu said categorically, "Since you are disturbed by the Taishan thieves, why don't you garrison Yanzhou Taishan County, but occupy my Dongguan County?" ”

Tao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Peng Anyan said, by doing this, you can also help Xuzhou resist Cao Cao!" ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he looked angry and said, "Lord, the Yuan family has a lot of ambitions, and you need to be cautious. ”

Tao Qian sighed and said: "I don't know, it's just that with the current situation in Xuzhou, Peng An's 15,000 men and horses may be difficult to drive away, so I can only turn a blind eye, alas! ”

In Yanzhou, Cao Cao also held a piece of information, frowned, and said to the people around him: "Guess what happened?" ”

"How did we guess? Lord, tell me quickly, whether it is good or bad. Xiahoudun said impatiently.

Cao Cao threw the information on several cases and said: "Yuan Shao added 20,000 soldiers and horses to Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan sent 15,000 men to Dongguan County in Xuzhou. ”

Xiahou frowned and said, "Isn't Yuan Shao going to war with Zhao Qian?" Why did you arrange the sergeants to Xuzhou? ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, but Cheng Yu said: "This is the plan of the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch. ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Zhongde tried to say it." ”

"Yuan Shao must have expected that we will solve the matter in Yanzhou, and we will go to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian's bad luck." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "The hatred of killing my father, if you don't share the sky, I will kill Tao Qian sooner or later!" ”

"What Yuan Shao is waiting for is the battle between the lord and Tao Qian, no matter who wins in the end, the price paid is always quite large, at that time, Yuan Shao's army went south, and it is estimated that it will not be able to resist." Cheng Yu explained.
