Yuan Shao took a deep breath, looked at Xu You and the others who were shocked and inexplicable, turned his body slightly, and continued to tell:

"Later, when I saw that the Xun family and hundreds of celebrities from all over the world were extremely humble in front of Mr. Botao, and full of respect for Mr. Botao, I was surprised and quietly asked Xun Yu, only then did I know that Mr. Botao and the deceased Lord Xun Shuang were also teachers and friends, and Han Gongwang, who had not been out for a hundred years but died young, was a close friend of the same class."

"Back then, Mr. Bo Tao and Han Gongwang were praised as the 'one dragon and one tiger' of Yingchuan Academy by the Central Plains Shilin, and were deeply appreciated and respected by the Xun Eight Dragons, alas! Such a peerless talent, under the mission of the ghost, actually fell into the hands of Liu Zijian, a poor boy, in vain? ”

Everyone was very jealous of the rumored and mysterious Gongsun Pei, and no one dared to pick up Yuan Shao's words, and they seemed to be silently measuring the gap between each other.

After a long time, Xu You looked at Yuan Shao: "My lord, my subordinates think that Mr. Gongsun Botao is the kind of talent who has a comprehensive view of the overall situation, and this kind of person often does not focus on specific affairs, nor does he disdain those conspiracy and tricks that violate morality, so such a person is respectable but not terrible!" ”

"My subordinates have been teaching in Langya Academy for nine months, and I know a lot about the main strategists of Liu Cun's shogunate, and I secretly think that Mr. Botao, Guan You'an, Guozini, Wang Yanfang, etc. are all square gentlemen, and they are not terrible, and the most feared by subordinates is the person named Zhao Rong!"

"Zhao Rong? Who? ”

Yuan Shao was very interested, and Feng Ji and Gao Gan immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

Xu You was quite emotional: "My subordinates heard the name Zhao Rong for the first time when they participated in Mr. Bingyuan's banquet to thank Xiguan celebrities. ”

At that time, Zhao Rong was unknown, but he was appointed by Liu Zijian as the commander of Dongguan County...... At that time. Liu Zijian personally led the Langya army to recapture the long-fallen Dongguan and Dong'an counties, and urgently needed to appease the people and rush to grow food. has to guard against the comeback of tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves day and night, which shows that Liu Zijian has great trust in Zhao Rong's ability. ”

Later, his subordinates inquired slowly. Finally figured out Zhao Rong's experience......"

"Zhao Rongzi Yande, forty-seven years old this year, ancestral home Jizhou Pavilion Tao, a son of the Han family, tenacious personality, dense mind, proficient in the art of war, familiar with the law, the first year of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Zhongping, my Han army was caught off guard, as the captain of the Pavilion Tao Zhao Rong led his troops to resist the siege of 100,000 Yellow Turbans for more than 20 days and nights. In the end, due to the weak troops, the casualties were heavy and the enemy was defeated, Zhao Rong himself was seriously injured and unconscious, and his personal guards desperately snatched him off the city tower to escape, and luckily found Zhao Rong's family in the chaos, and then fled to Langya along the rolling flow of people. ”

At that time, Liu Zijian was doing his best to relieve the disaster, moving Zhao Rong's family and thousands of displaced people to the eastern foothills of Zhushan Mountain in the northeast of Langya to reclaim the famine. also cured Zhao Rong's broken leg, and later placed Zhao Rong in the village as a teacher. ”

"Oh! By the way, Mr. Gongsun Botao's family was also among the displaced people at that time, and Liu Zijian didn't know who Mr. Botao was. Mr. Botao was appointed by Liu Zijian as the head of Mengxue Mountain in the village, teaching hundreds of homeless children to read and write every day, haha! ”

Feng Ji and Gao Gan were stunned. Yuan Shao listened with relish and urged Xu You to speak quickly.

Xu Yu sold out of Guanzi. Shaking his big sleeves, he continued: "At that time, I don't know why, and I don't know what means Liu Zijian, who had just been promoted to Chengyang Taishou, used. Soon, from Mengxue and the workshop, Gongsun Botao, Zhao Rong, Huo Jian, a Licheng man who was born in the Mo family and was good at smelting, Tian Mu, a Quliang man who was good at farming, and Han Rou, a bankrupt Dongping businessman, became Liu Cun's extremely trusted confidants. ”

"I remember that my subordinates quietly asked Mr. Bing Yuan, the superintendent of Langya Academy: Did Lord Zijian know who Gongsun Botao and Lord Zhao Rong were? Mr. Bing Yuan laughed and said: Liu Zijian didn't know that he had picked up the treasure until a year later! ”

Yuan Shao lamented again, and Feng Ji and Gao Gan also sighed, quite indignant.

Xu You turned to the topic: "The reason why his subordinates paid attention to Zhao Rong was because when he was in Dongguan County, he kept tens of thousands of thieves out with 8,000 troops, not only repaired the four city walls to increase defense, expanded nearly 100 miles of official roads in Dongguan County, but also sheltered 40,000 displaced people, and resumed the reclamation of more than 400,000 acres of fields!" ”

"Zhao Rong took office only seven months, more than 100,000 people in Dongguan County can be self-sufficient, and then open mines, run forest farms, repair water conservancy, and raise industry and commerce, in only one year, Dongguan County, which is full of holes, has taken on a new look, and has become a rich county that has contributed a large amount of taxes to Liu Zijian."

"What's even more commendable is that Zhao Rong not only did not take credit, but strongly recommended Xu Yi and Xu Jicai, the magistrate of Dong'an County, until Liu Zijian completed the overall layout of Yangcheng County, Zhao Rong silently returned to Liu Zijian's side, officially but let Qingzhou not drive, and he was very low-key."

"Zhao Rong has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Zhao Li has served as Liu Zijian's attendant for a long time to join the army, and was also appointed by the first emperor in court to idle in the court, it is rumored that Liu Zijian is very important to Zhao Li, and he is strict and admonishing, not a disciple, but like a disciple, it can be seen how heavy Zhao Rong is in Liu Zijian's mind!"

Yuan Shao had a headache, picked up Liu Dai's emergency report again and opened it, and suddenly felt that the word "Zhao Rong" on it was extremely conspicuous, he closed the emergency report and looked at Xu You, and sincerely asked for advice: "Sir, what do you think should be done next?" ”

"Lord, it's still the same sentence just now, don't anger Qingzhou within two years, peace is precious, after all, we can't compete with Qingzhou now, we can only observe closely, accumulate strength, and wait for the next day, and the strategy of Lord Ji is the best way to deal with it."

In the end, Xu You did not forget to praise Feng Ji to avoid being in the limelight and causing the other party to be unhappy.

Yuan Shao nodded: "That's it, everyone, who wants to go to Linzi on my behalf?" ”

Xu You lowered his head and was silent, Feng Ji and Gao Gan glanced at each other, and Gao Gan stepped forward and suggested: "My subordinates think that it is most appropriate for Lord Xu You to send an envoy. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You: "Then the trouble is far away, I will write a letter to Lord Bao Xin later, and let him bear with it for the time being, isn't it just to lose tens of thousands of acres of land in Lu County?" Don't worry about it, I'll compensate him in the future! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Xu You stepped forward to give a salute, raised his head and offered another plan: "Lord, aren't Lord Liu Dai and Lord Bao Xin having a headache for the Taishan thief?" Thinking that the southern and western foothills of Mount Tai stretch for hundreds of miles, and the total number of Yellow Turban thieves from all walks of life is no less than 300,000, with the current Yanzhou troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference. ”

"I think it's better to suggest that Lord Liu Dai and Lord Bao Xin surround but not suppress, cut off all the passages in the west and south directions of the Yellow Turban Thief, once the Yellow Turban Thief Kou runs out of grain and grass, in addition to taking the initiative to jump out to seek a decisive battle, the only way to plunder the rich Qingzhou to the east, otherwise he will starve to death, and then Lord Bao Xin and Lord Liu Dai will work harder...... Hey! ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, Feng Ji and Gao Gan were deeply impressed by Xu You's plan to drive away the wolf and the tiger, and the five of them immediately devoted themselves to intense deliberations, and soon came up with an implementation plan full of expectations. (To be continued......)
