Chapter 532: The Duel Between the Wise

Yuan Shao decided to hand over the matter of sending the envoy to Yanzhou and borrowing grain from the alliance to Cui Hao, but Cui Hao shook his head and said: "Lord, I can't go to the alliance!"

"Why, don't you want to share my worries?"

Cui Hao said with a smile: "I am still an unknown person, the lord sent me to Yanzhou, they will feel that the lord despises them, which is not conducive to promoting the alliance, and secondly, there are Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, judge and others under the lord, the lord has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and it is difficult to protect their ......"

"They dare, they don't succeed enough, they lose more than they do, I can't count on them, if they target you, I'll call the shots for you!" Yuan Shao said angrily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Although they have their own shortcomings, they can work together, and they can't be underestimated, since the lord has asked me to be the chief strategist, then I have military and political power, why don't you let me appoint them?" Cui Hao pleaded.

"Okay, I'll see how you convince them to work for me!" Yuan Shao laughed, took Cui Hao's hand and led Cui Hao to the main hall.

At this time, in the main hall, Xu You and other four strategists were waiting for Yuan Shao, waiting for him to go to the city to calm the people's hearts. When they came to the hall, the four of them saw Yuan Shao holding Cui Hao's arm, and the affectionate and trusting expression made the four of them look dark.

Yuan Shao looked at the four of them with a pair of eagle eyes and introduced: "This is the son of the Cui clan of Qinghe, Cui Hao Cui Boyuan, now I am a military advisor, you come and see it!"

Xu You and the other four are also Yuan Shao's military advisors, but when Cui Hao was introduced, the four of them had seen them, that is, their status was above them. The four of them have to listen to Cui Hao! Why did it press us on our heads as soon as it came? Of course, the four of them were not convinced, and Xu You immediately bowed his hand and said: "Lord, although the Qinghe Cui clan is a famous family, he Cui Hao is not as famous as Cui Yan. As soon as the lord came up, he put Cui Hao on top of us, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public. ”

The other three also nodded again and again, and Yuan Shao sneered: "This Jizhou chaos, none of you can see the root cause, only he saw it, and personally rushed from Qinghe to report to me, and also offered a solution, is this enough?"

"I don't care about the root cause of the chaos in Jizhou, it is the rise in grain prices that has caused the people to be dissatisfied......"

"Humph!" Before Xu You finished speaking, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and scolded: "Women and children!"

Immediately, Yuan Shao explained what Cui Hao said before to the four strategists, and the four of them were speechless. The four of them blushed, none of them saw through the matter, but let Cui Hao, an unknown person, see it. At this time, Yuan Shao was angry, but the four of them did not dare to object.

But they secretly complained in their hearts, originally the four of them fought openly and secretly, but now there is another one who divides power, and now Yuan Shao still trusts him so much, I am afraid that he will be suppressed.

"Now that Jizhou is in turmoil, I have handed over all the power to Cui Hao to be responsible for this matter, you listen to his dispatch!" Yuan Shao's face was straight, he handed the seal letter to Cui Hao, and walked down himself. The four of them were even more surprised when they saw it, Yuan Shao was usually conceited and arrogant, and he didn't listen to anyone's words, how much ability did Cui Hao have, they actually dispatched Yuan Shao and made him obey his words!

But seeing Cui Hao take the letter, he raised the letter with his right hand and said in a deep voice: "Princes, my Jizhou is in danger now, I am ordered to be in danger, and I hope that all the princes will work together to not breed trouble, otherwise I will be severely punished!"

"Yes!" His Royal Highness bowed his head and promised.

Cui Hao looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Please also ask the lord to immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses of all parties except for the border of Youzhou, so that General Yan Liang will return to Yecheng with 3,000 elite horses, and the lord will envoy Yan Liang to protect and go to various cities to calm the people's hearts!" Other soldiers and horses were sent to various passes to prevent the people from continuing to lose. ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao nodded in agreement.

"Funki! I command you to walk with the Lord and help the Lord restore the people everywhere! ”

Among several people, Feng Ji is good, maybe he fights openly and secretly, but he is the least fierce one, which means that he has no problem in major rights and wrongs. With him very attentive to Yuan Shao, there will be no chaos, if Guo Tu and Xu You are allowed to go, he may have to say bad things about Cui Hao. As soon as Feng Ji heard that Cui Hao asked him to accompany Yuan Shao, and folic acid entrusted him with an important task, he also had a little good impression in his heart, and he agreed.

"Guo Tu, I order you to calm the price of food everywhere!"

Guo Tu is a villain, so it is not good for him to do anything, Cui Hao simply gave Guo Tu the biggest problem and the most tedious work, so that he could not do anything bad. And calming food prices is also a very important job, and under the heavy responsibility, Guo Tu will not resent him.

Then Cui Hao looked at the trial and said: "Now that Jizhou is short of grain, you are from Jizhou and know many people from the family, you dispatch food, stabilize the people's hearts, and borrow grain from the family!"

Judging the danger: "Now that the grain of various families is almost sold, I am afraid that they will not borrow grain."

"You have food in stock, it depends on whether you have the ability to borrow it! Anyway, within a month, I don't want to see people continue to lose! ”

Yuan Shao also looked at the trial coldly, and the trial had to give up his life, if he didn't do it well, he didn't have the ability, so he was afraid that he would fall out of favor.

"Xu You, I ordered you to send an envoy to Yanzhou, ask to see Zhao Kuangyin, promote an alliance between Jizhou and Yanzhou, and borrow grain from Zhao Kuangyin! The more the merrier! Cui Hao ordered, listening to this, Xu You's eyes lit up, Xu You is greedy for money, but he is eloquent, many people can't say that he can't be a diplomat, and it is difficult for him to be a diplomat, and he is an envoy, this is a fat difference, but it is successful, and Zhao Kuangyin will also bribe him.

Xu Youmei agreed with a smile, and the judge on the other side was relieved to hear that he was going to Yanzhou to borrow grain, if the borrowing was successful, the meeting would be held for a month, and he would only need to raise grain and grass for a month, it seems that Cui Hao did not embarrass him.

These tasks were arranged, but a few strategists did not resent Cui Hao, although it did not have much good impression and convincing, but it was also a good start.

"Sent us all out, what about you? What are you doing? Xu You said coldly.

"Me? I coordinate the overall situation, rectify the law and discipline, and formulate the way to strengthen Jizhou for the lord! Cui Hao said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I hope that all the princes will work together to help me strengthen Jizhou! Each has its own division of labor, so let's do it as soon as possible! Yuan Shao waved his hand and asked everyone to go down, first to write to the military, let Yan Liang lead the elite cavalry back, and the other soldiers and horses went to the passes to prevent the loss of the people. After leaving the palace gate, there were already soldiers at the gate to protect him, and Yuan Shao followed the soldiers to the city to stabilize the people's hearts.

That night, Jin Yiwei was stationed at a station, and Jin Yiwei reported to Xun Youyu: "My lord, today Yuan Shao personally went out of the house to settle the people's hearts, and the loss of the people was greatly reduced.

Xun You raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Yuan Shao has such courage, and there are such resourceful people under his command?" In such a short time, you have thought of a solution? ”

"I heard that Yuan Shao appointed Cui Hao of the Cui clan of Qinghe as a military advisor today, and he coordinated the overall situation." Jin Yiwei replied.

"Cui Hao? There are such characters in Jizhou, who can easily see through the root of this matter, and they are not under me! Can this person be assassinated? Xun You asked.

Jin Yiwei shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Yuan Shao sent three hundred elite armor to protect him, not half a step away from Cui Hao, I am afraid that the assassination will not succeed, if you want to assassinate him, cultivate Jin Yiwei's cronies by his side, I am afraid it will take a year."

"That's it, when he takes root in Yecheng, I'm afraid that he will resist the assassination, let alone succeed." Xun You waved his hand.

Jin Yiwei asked, "Do you want us to continue to create chaotic rumors and sabotage Yuan Shao's actions?"

"No, now that the people of the Chamber of Commerce have retreated, and the people have calmed down, our people are easily exposed, and Cui Hao's talent is outstanding, once Jinyiwei has a big action, he is bound to be discovered. Now that there is a Cui Hao, Jizhou is not so easy to deal with, and soon the Jinyiwei in Jizhou will face the danger of being suppressed. ”

The development of Jinyiwei in Yanzhou is struggling, and that is because there are many strategists in Yanzhou, and Xi Zhicai has been suppressing Jinyiwei, resulting in the destruction of many Jinyiwei forces. And once the enemy knows the contact and operation mode of Jinyiwei, it will be a devastating blow to Jinyiwei.

A top-level strategist who poses a considerable threat to Jinyiwei.

"But Jizhou has made a way to deal with it, and our harvest will undoubtedly be greatly reduced!"

Xun You sneered: "Heh, now the people of the entire Jizhou are being lost, Yuan Shao patrols back and forth, and it will take a month to stabilize the people's hearts, and the soldiers and horses everywhere will intercept the people, the effect will not be very great, and their food collection will not work in a short time." Within a month, they can stabilize this trend, if I expect it to be correct, this time Jizhou will lose about 300,000 to 500,000 people, spend money, gain so many people, and greatly damage the public security of Jizhou, Jizhou wants to recover, it will take at least a year, we are making a lot of money. ”

"What I'm worried about is that there is another Cui Hao in Jizhou, and Xu Yu will go south, it must be an alliance with Yanzhou, and it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for His Majesty to recover Jizhou in the future."

Jin Yiwei said with a smile: "What's this, there is Cui Hao in Jizhou, but Your Majesty has a commander, and there are no more resourceful people such as you in the palm of your hand, why be afraid of a Cui Hao?"

"You don't understand, when things are complicated, laid out by top wise men, there is no solution in the final analysis, that is, I, Lord Wei, and Guo Fengxiao, all came to deal with him alone, and I couldn't think of three ways to break the enemy. There is no difference between one person and three people. Xun You explained with a smile.

Xun You is right, one person's intelligence is the same as the intelligence of three people, when their abilities are roughly equal, it is not the intelligence of three people that can crush one person. Because when a person's intelligence is very high, its layout can be said to be perfect, that is, three people work together, and what they think is roughly the same.

The brocade guard on the side nodded as if he didn't understand, and Xun You smiled: "But Your Majesty's advantage is that the national strength is strong, and now Jizhou has been destroyed like this, which has greatly weakened Jizhou's strength, and it will still be able to crush in the future." During this time, you are concentrating on developing your forces, don't expose them, and wait for Your Majesty to attack Jizhou, and you are using a thunderous blow. Now that the goal has been achieved, when Yecheng stabilizes, I will leave. The thing to do is to see how many people can come under His Majesty's rule. ”
