Guo Tu's words not only made Yuan Tan extremely curious, but also made Yuan Shao very interested.

"Oh, in other words, who can persuade Han Jizhou for me?"

After receiving the lord's inquiry, Guo Tu still looked respectful and replied with the same attitude:

"This method requires two people, one inside and one outside, to attack at the same time, so that Han Jizhou can know that he is incapable and take the initiative to let the virtuous lord be the master."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was about to continue to ask, but found that the face of one of the people in the seat flashed an expression that seemed to be suddenly realized. He was curious for a moment, so he asked by name:

"Youruo, can you guess who the public rule is talking about?"

Xun Chen's character Youruo, also a native of Yingchuan, and the famous Xun Yu in later generations are brothers of the same clan, and the two are equally famous. However, Xun Yu has not yet decided to join Yuan Shao's shogunate at this time, and the Yingchuan Xun clan is currently able to speak in front of Yuan Shao.

"Returning to the lord, Chen Zhi is shrewd, not as far as Guo Zhi. If it weren't for Guo's involvement, Chen would definitely not have thought of the use of the two. ”

After holding a handful of fellow countryman Guo Tu, Xun Chen revealed the mystery of this plan for the people present. He entered Yuan Shao's shogunate, and Guo Tu also recommended it a little. With Xun Chen's temperament, of course he would not deliberately steal Guo Tu's limelight.

"In the north of Jizhou, there is the world's famous general Gongsun Bogui, who swept through Youzhou Zahu, and the name of the white horse is promoted in the world. Looking at General Gongsun's behavior, it seems that he is not very ambitious. Just a secluded state, I'm afraid it's no longer enough to let it gallop across the country. ”

"General Gongsun has always liked martial arts and bravery, and does not value celebrities. It is said that Liu Youzhou [Liu Yu] is also struggling to make him obey orders. As long as the lord repaired a letter and promised to cede the land adjacent to Youzhou, General Gongsun would be willing to move south. ”

"Now that the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou have resurged, Han Jizhou is powerless to levy them. General Gongsun went south in the name of crusading against the Yellow Turban thieves, and the people of the world must not criticize. However, the yellow scarf is second, and there is a grandson on the side. How can Han Jizhou sleep peacefully? In this way, the elite soldiers of Jizhou will inevitably gather in the north to guard against the Youzhou army, and Jizhou will be empty! ”

"At this time, if there is another army within Jizhou, I don't know how Han Jizhou can deal with it?"

Xun Chen said this. will not continue, but return the right to speak to Guo Tu:

"Chen Zhi sees things, and he is not as good as Guo. The internal affairs of Jizhou are not very clear, and Guo is also invited to give advice. ”

Xun Chen was so interested, Guo Tu felt that his previous recommendation was not wrong, and he was even more affectionate to Xun Chen.

"Where, where, Xun has been humble."

Guo Tu pretended to be polite, and then took Xun Chen's words. Continue to elaborate on your plans.

"Captain Lu was relied on by the former Wang Thorn Shi [Wang Fen]. Unfortunately, Wang Tingshi was framed by traitors and died unjustly, and the captain of the Koji Dynasty also became a suspect, and was excluded by the state and county, and his situation deteriorated. ”

"The art of war is brilliant, and the former king of the assassin relied on it as a barrier in Jizhou to prevent the thieves of Taihang. If Han Jizhou treats the pillars of Jizhou like this, how can the captain of the Koji not complain? However, the forces are pressing. Captain Koji had no choice but to lie in wait. ”

"Now the voice of the lord is mighty. better than Han Jizhou; The talent of the lord is better than that of Han Jizhou. If the lord said a word, Captain Lu Du would have already resented him, and he would definitely raise troops to resist Han Jizhou. When the elite soldiers of Jizhou prevented Gongsun from going south, the Duwei of Jizhou's henchmen broke out, so could Han Jizhou follow? ”

"Han Fu can't level the captain of the koji capital. And the lord only needs one word to make the captain of the koji all like. Compared with the two, can the officials and people in Jizhou disobey? The lord was saved from the erosion of Jizhou, what is the face of Han Jizhou, who still serves as the state pastor? ”

Guo Tu's design. It's all interlocking, and it's reasonable. If Gongsun Zan and Lu Yi had an attack at the same time, Han Fu would definitely be unable to bear it. If everything is as Guo Tu expected, then Yuan Shao can really receive an intact Jizhou without bloodshed.

The richness of Jizhou ranks among the top three among the thirteen states in the world. With Jizhou as the foundation, for Yuan Shao, he can be regarded as having the strength and confidence to compete with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu. On this basis, Yuan Shaoda could connect Gongsun Zan in the north, Liu Dai in the south, and Gong Jing in the east and Qingzhou in the east, and ...... in the west

Forget the arrogance in the west, the Taihang Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Bingzhou is a hard bone, and there is no oil and water. To the west, Yuan Shao can slowly encroach on the land of Sili Sanhe [Henan, Hanoi, and Hedong], and finally defeat Dong Zhuo, rescue the Han Emperor, and realize his great wish to dominate the world!

Just when Yuan Shao was deeply attracted by Guo Tu's plan and felt complacent, suddenly, an inopportune question interrupted Yuan Shao's heart.

"If the arrogant thieves in the west take the opportunity to go out, how will they deal with it?"

was inserted by this sentence, Guo Tu's gushing momentum suddenly paused, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

To tell the truth, because when Zhang Madness was nesting in Taihang Mountain, he never went down the mountain to loot materials on a large scale, although the officials in the western part of Jizhou were quite jealous of Zhang Qiang, they often ignored him intentionally or unintentionally. In view of the practice of insolence almost not developing eastward, Guo Tu subconsciously ignored this person when he planned to annex Han Fu.

However, once arrogant is mentioned, no one here dares to ignore the strength of arrogance. If Zhang Qi does not come to Jizhou, it does not mean that he has no threat to Jizhou. Similarly, if Zhang Qiang did not come to Jizhou in the past, it does not mean that he will not come to Jizhou in the future. However, in the face of the merger state army whose military strength could challenge Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao basically couldn't come up with a way to deal with it except for defending himself in the city.

Ziyuan said it well. If it weren't for Ziyuan's reminder, we would have almost ignored this guy. ”

Seeing that Guo Tu fell silent, in order to avoid the cold meeting meeting, Yuan Shao immediately picked up the topic.

The reason why Xu You was able to think of the arrogant forces in time was not because he was smarter than the other strategists here, but because he had suffered the loss of arrogance.

When Wang Fen conspired to abolish Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Xu You was also one of the participants. The reason why Wang Fen finally failed and had to commit suicide to face the imperial court was because an arrogant swordsman ranger eavesdropped on the deepest secrets about the abolition of the Son of Heaven. Then, this secret was quickly spread, forcing Wang Fen to commit suicide.

After that incident, Xu You had to hide for more than a year under the cover of Yuan Shao because he was not lightly involved. It wasn't until Emperor Han Ling's death that he was able to make another public appearance. With such a painful lesson from the past, Xu You naturally became extremely wary of the mysterious Yellow Turban remnant in the west, who seemed extremely silent.

According to Xu You's careful research, several big actions and big turns of insolence were all sudden, like an antelope hanging its horns, and there was no regularity. However, these seemingly unreasonable actions will eventually make Zhang Qiang avoid too much danger or get great development. The name "Heavenly Master" can be safely worn on the head of the arrogant guy, but it doesn't all depend on the skills of fools.

At the height of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Qiang suddenly led his troops to sneak into the Taihang Mountains and escaped the subsequent destruction of the Yellow Turbans. At the time of the civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu, Zhang Qiang suddenly accepted the recruitment of the Han Emperor, entered Xihe County as a Han army, occupied Xihe, Shuofang and other barbarian places, and laid the foundation of Tuntian. When the Han Dynasty fell into the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and Dong Zhuo, this bureaucrat took the opportunity to attack and annex the state, and all the land of one state.

Now when Yuan Shao is plotting to seize Jizhou, Xu You is very skeptical, will Zhang Qiang take the opportunity to kill again and seize the rich prefecture and county of Jizhou?

Of course, not everyone is wary of arrogance. Not to mention anything else, Yuan Tan wouldn't care about the rude martial arts in a border place, and what great things could he do. Even if Dong Zhuo, a rude martial artist who is also from the borderlands, has already done something amazing.

Guo Tu also didn't care much about arrogance. When he served as a Peng official in Yingchuan, he personally experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year. Guo Tu knows the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army well, and he definitely knows it. With those past experiences, he really didn't believe that the junior who was also a member of the Yellow Turban Thieves, Zhang Qiang, would be much stronger than Bo Cai, who was known as the "No. 1 Art of War in Taiping Dao" back then.

"If there is General Cao's headquarters on guard, can the state thief army be intercepted?"

Hearing Guo Tu's words, Cao Cao, who was sitting at the top of the left, rolled his eyes to the sky.

Since Yuan Shao's account listened to the order, Cao Cao's subordinates have been the most capable of fighting, and every time he gnaws bones, his share is indispensable. Although Yuan Shao never treated Cao Cao badly, he constantly replenished Cao Cao's troops and generals, gave Cao Cao several battalion heads, and gave priority to providing heavy grain and grass. However, every time the most dangerous work falls on Cao Cao, even if he seeks merit with his open-mindedness, he is a little unbearable.

People who can really treat the battlefield as a kind of enjoyment are either perverts or crazy. And Cao Cao is neither perverted nor crazy, but has a bit of literati feelings. It's not a good day to be in the camp every day.

At this moment, Cao Cao's heart desperately wanted to get a piece of his own territory, so as not to send people under the fence and not move freely enough.

- From this point of view, it was actually wrong to stay in the court to develop back then. If he could be released at that time, how could he get a big county with Cao's identity......

Of course, Yuan Shao would not consider the mood of the little brother at this time. In the face of Jizhou, the land of hegemony, as long as it can be taken smoothly, even if the army is lost, Yuan Shao is willing. If possible, he was even willing to give Zhang Qi some benefits in exchange for Zhang Qi's support for his entry into Jizhou. It's a pity that Yuan Shao himself feels very unreliable for this idea.

The plan has been decided, and Yuan Shao will go all out to take action.

First, Yuan Shao sent Xu You to persuade Lu Yi to break away from Han Fu; Next, he sent another powerful strategist, Feng Ji, to Youzhou to persuade Gongsun Zan to send troops to Jizhou in the name of the rampant Yellow Turbans in Jizhou; In the end, he sent his nephew Gao Gan and Han Fu's fellow villagers and cronies Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others to Jizhou Zhizhi Office to visit Han Fu.

When the news of Lu Yi and Gongsun Zhan rising troops came, those well-known scholars from the government and the opposition who were staying in Jizhou would persuade Han Fu together, take the initiative to give up Jizhou, and invite Yuan Benchu, a model in the world, to enter Jizhou to stabilize the hearts of the military and people in Jizhou!
