Soon after Tian Yu left, Wang Meng returned to Zhang Zai's study. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhang Zai saw Wang Meng returning, he invited him to sit down, and then asked, "Sir, can everything be arranged?" ”

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Everything has been prepared, and Luo Cheng and others will appear in the city in three days." ”

"Jia is considered to be a villain for the lord today, I don't know what reward the lord can have?" Guo Jia looked at Zhang Zai and interjected.

Zhang Zai looked at Guo Jia as a scoundrel, slumped in his seat, and was speechless for a while, this Guo Jia is worthy of the title of the prodigal son, the form is eclectic, and he will not take care of the image, as for etiquette, the two are more like friends in private.

"Three jars of fine wine." Zhang Zai glanced at Guo Jia and said lightly.

"No, at least ten altars." Guo Jia looked at Zhang Zai with an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Lord, I won't let you have more blood this time, is it right to have this acting skills? Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth burst into a greedy smile.

Ten altars, you treat me as stupid, Zhang Zai pretended to think for a moment, shook his head and said: "General Ben didn't let you act, at most three altars, love or not." ”

"Uh......" Guo Jia was speechless when Zhang Zai said a word, and could only say stupidly: "Three altars are three altars." ”

Wang Meng on the side looked funny, where are these two important ministers of the court, looking at this bargaining situation, it is completely the behavior of the market.

Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Meng said, "Lord, do you really want to rescue Gongsun Zhan?" ”

He didn't believe that Zhang Zai would do these things that would harm himself and others, for Wang Meng, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao attacked each other, which was consuming the power between them, no matter which side wins, it is a good thing for Bingzhou.

Who knows, Zhang Zai nodded and said, "It's reasonable and reasonable, this Gongsun Zan has to be saved." ”

"Why?" The two were puzzled, although Zhang Zai had a relationship with Gongsun Zhan, it should not be worth Zhang Zai to be so excited.

Zhang Zai looked at the two of them and said: "In the northern land, Yuan Shao has occupied the richest Jizhou, and even Qingzhou Jiaohe is also looking forward to Yuan Shao's horse, if he occupies Youzhou again, his strength will definitely grow by leaps and bounds, and it will even threaten the state, so now Gongsun Chan can't die for the time being." ”

Guo Jia scoffed at Yuan Shao's ability and said disdainfully: "He Yuan Shao has such a great ability to cross the Taihang Mountain? ”

Zhang Zai looked at Guo Jia's expression of not taking him in his eyes, and asked, "Why, Feng Xiao doesn't believe in Yuan Shao's ability?" ”

Guo Jia sneered: "Yuan Shao is just relying on the reputation of the Yuan family, and his own talent is average, can he be regarded as a great enemy?" ”

Zhang Zai looked at Guo Jia, did not refute, and said: "What Feng Xiao said is indeed right, Yuan Shao is fierce and timid, scheming and indecisive, doing big things and sparing his life, seeing small profits and forgetting righteousness, he should not be my great enemy, but Tian Feng under his command is a good strategy, if Youzhou is attached, and he raises tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, then his strength will increase greatly, and he will inevitably take strict precautions against the state at that time." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and retorted: "There is the natural danger of Taihang Mountain, and there is Zhang Yan in the mountain to help, it is enough to protect themselves, if they want to cross Taihang Mountain, they will pay a hundred times the price." ”

"Then what if you want to expand your strength?" Zhang Zai said: "Although our annexed states are protected by natural dangers, more than enough defense, and lack of enterprising, if we want to expand, we can only go south to subordinate to Jizhou and Youzhou in the east." ”

"If Yuan Shao pockets the three northern states at this time, once he starts a war with Yuan Shao, it will be inconvenient to transport grain in the mountains, and he may become a lone army at that time, so it is better to take this opportunity to bury nails and open up roads, and when the time comes, it will also be convenient to transport troops to Yuan Shao."

"There is also the fact that the Sili area has passed through Dong Zhuo's cholera, the population is insufficient, and the production is chaotic, once it is occupied, it may still be a burden to merge with the state, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Guo Jia and Wang Meng were suddenly shocked when they heard this, they have been focusing on Si Li and Guanzhong, Zhang Zai proposed the disadvantages of Si Li, they have also considered, their opinion is to only occupy Hedong, and then expand to three sides, but they thought that Zhang Zai actually set his sights on Youzhou.

After listening to Zhang Zai's words, thinking about it carefully, this idea seems to be feasible, at this time, as long as the siege of Gongsun Zan is relieved, then it can even be discussed with Cao Cao, and the three families can send troops at the same time. Divide Jizhou.

Then Guo Jia seemed to think of something, smiled yin, and said: "If Gongsun Chan dies unexpectedly after we send troops to Youzhou, it will be perfect." ”

Zhang Zai and the others shuddered when they heard Guo Jia's words, but they didn't expect Guo Jia to fight the idea of Gongsun Zhan's life again.

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhang Zai didn't say anything that he didn't have a deep relationship with Gongsun Zhan, but now he was dealing with him by such unscrupulous means, Zhang Zai's heart was a little complicated.

Forcibly dispel the sensibility in his heart, he is not a soft-hearted person, since he is destined to embark on the road to becoming the emperor, his heart must be hardened, this Gongsun Zan must die, so he acquiesced to Guo Jia's words.

"This matter is so decided, three days later, a certain led 30,000 horse infantry troops, Feng Xiao, Luo Cheng, Xiong Kuohai, Qi Hui accompanied." Zhang Zai thought for a while, and then said: "Transfer Xue Li to the battlefield in Youzhou, and after relieving the siege of Youzhou, put Xue Li directly in Youzhou and deal with them. ”

Guo Jia and the two had no opinion after hearing it, and they agreed together.

In the next two days, the Zhengbei General's Mansion began to operate at full capacity, and the grain, grass and ordnance needed by the 30,000 army were loaded into trucks, and at the same time, Zhang Zai also repaired a letter and sent it to Zhang Yan in Montenegro, asking him to also raise troops to attack Wei County.

On the third day, under the city of Jinyang, tens of thousands of troops quietly appeared.

Taihang Mountain, Zhang Yan Daying.

After receiving Zhang Zai's handwritten letter, Zhang Yan gathered the remaining Qu Shuai in the Montenegrin army overnight and told them Zhang Zai's intentions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do we want to agree to the general of the expedition and send troops to help?" Zhang Yan looked at the people in the room and asked.

"General Zhengbei has helped us a lot, and now he asks us to help, because he looks up to us." The one who spoke was the most famous Qu Shuai in the Montenegrin army, except for Zhang Yan.

"Yes, send troops!"

"Promise!"

……

Zhang Yan looked at the house, and almost everyone agreed to send troops to help, so Zhang Yan shouted: "Okay, since all the brothers have agreed to send troops, then we will send troops to Wei County to avenge the brothers who died in the battle last year." ”

The Montenegrin army has been fighting with Yuan Shao for many years, especially last year, Yuan Shao killed several commanders of the Montenegrin army and swept away several of their camps.

Now that they have rested for a year, plus the food and grass that Zhang Zai promised to provide, it is enough for them to send troops to avenge last year's revenge.

That night, Hequ Shuai returned to his camp, integrated his troops and horses, and prepared to go to Wei County.
