Wen Chou then thought: "Kong Ling's name is the history of the state assassin, but these Yingchuan people, for fear that Kong Ling will collect food and ask for money after entering the country with a large army, which will hurt their interests, so they will promote me, a person who can barely support himself, to the throne." It is said that Dong Zhuo ran the imperial court, abolished the Son of Heaven, and killed King Hongnong, which indeed caused the indignation of many people, but with such a coalition of soldiers, and such scholars from all over the country, what can the princes who raised troops do if they go ten more roads? In the end, it will be fruitless. ”

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Lu asked again: "Yuzhou is coming, I don't know if the general wants to welcome it with us?" ”

Wen Chou replied: "Yuzhou is allied with me, and he is the governor of Guizhou, how can I not welcome him?" Even if the gentlemen don't come to invite, I am also going to find the gentlemen to welcome Yuzhou. ”

Zhou Luyan said: "Some people in the county officials said: Yuzhou called Taishou to welcome, but Taishou has resigned, and the last resort is to welcome by Wang and Xun Erjun. …… I wonder what the general thinks? ”

Wen Chou thought to himself: "Go out of the county for a hundred miles to greet you? This hinders his own prestige, is not conducive to his authority in Yingchuan in the future, and is not conducive to the secret confrontation with Kong Yuzhou in the future. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "Contemptible people think it's inappropriate." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"According to the etiquette system, even if the state herdsman arrives, there is no reason to go out of the city for a hundred miles to greet him, not to mention that although the soldiers and horses of Kong Yuzhou are prosperous, it is only a state assassin history, and it cannot reach the level of welcoming a hundred miles? Moreover, Kong Yuzhou is a well-known person of Qing reputation, although the contemptible people have never met him, but he has always respected it, if we really greet him with a hundred miles, those who do not know the inside story may think that this is what Kong Yuzhou demanded, so so. We are not honoring him, but we are tarnishing his name. After pondering deeply, Wen Chou said slowly.

"The general's words are very reasonable, but how does the general think we should welcome them?"

"Well, it's enough for you to wait thirty miles out of the county to welcome you."

"What about the general?"

"I'm waiting for him outside the county."

Wen Chou kept saying that he wanted to greet Kong Ling with Zhou Lu and others, but after saying for a long time, he was "waiting for him outside the county". What kind of greeting is this? However, Zhou Lu and others also understand that Wen Chou's reputation is not lower than Kong Ling, although the soldiers and horses under his account are not as good as Kong Lingzhong, they can win in the soldiers and dare to fight, plus he has the intention of competing with Kong Ling for a priority, and being willing to greet him outside the county is already to give Kong Ling face.

Zhou Lu and the others got Wen Chou's reply and knew what to do, so they left and returned to the county government. Arrange to greet Kong Ling.

Tian Feng, Xun Yan, Tian Chou, Guo Jia and others followed Wen Chou's left and right, and after listening to Wen Chou's arrangements to greet Kong Ling, he smiled and said: "Ming Gong is very good at arranging this. ”

"Oh, what's so good?" Wen Chou responded.

"The county officials went out to welcome thirty miles, which was in line with etiquette, and the Ming Duke first ordered Wen Ruotong to welcome him early, and then personally greeted him outside the county, Kong Yuzhou was dissatisfied. I didn't say anything about it. Tian Feng said.

Wen Chou sighed and said, "Hey." I didn't do that! We led the army to come from afar, but it was a 'guest army', but Kong Yuzhou was the assassin of this state, if you don't think of any way, in case you are suppressed by him. Then we will end up in the state of sending people under the fence, and then there will be no more autonomy, Meng Zhuo's previous letter to you and others have also read it, if there is no autonomy, how can we talk about the matter of attacking Dong? ”

One thing is for sure. As long as the war against Dong is together, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and there will inevitably be disputes between states and counties, for this point, Tian Feng and Wen Chou have discussed it many times, and the two have reached a consensus, and Wen Chou intends to take advantage of this discussion of Dong and first take Jizhou and Yingchuan for the purpose of use, even if it cannot be achieved, it is necessary to win enough talents and other resources, Tian Feng is also clear, at this time, Wen Chou said that the reason for fighting for the power of Yingchuan with Kong Ling is attributed to "asking for Dong", he just smiled lightly, and did not say anything more.

After all, if you want to take things like Yingchuan and Jizhou, you just know it, but it's not easy to publicize it everywhere, after all, they are just an army subordinate to Han Fu.

Because Wen Chou talked about Zhang Miao's letter, it caused Guo Jiazhi to think, and he said worriedly: "Seeing General Zhang's letter, it said that the sour jujube coalition army did not have a plan to attack, and Yuan Bohai could not enter the battle because of lack of food,...... The lord, tens of thousands of people under Yuan Bohai's account, and more than 100,000 foot cavalry of the sour jujube coalition army, they do not fight, only rely on General Zhang, General Cao, General Sun and the lord's joint army, even if they fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Dong to win! This was the beginning of his work as a member of Wen Chou's staff team, and he was more excited about his performance.

Tian Chou had a flash of inspiration, and said: "If you can do it first, it is not impossible for Ke Dong to win." ”

Wen Chou asked, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

Tian Feng and Guo Jia both knew Tian Chou's meaning, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Yuzhou! ”

This "Yuzhou" obviously refers to Kong Ling. As Guo Jia said before, Wen Chou and Cao Cao, who want to attack Dong Zhuo, the crux of not being able to successfully defeat Dong Zhuo lies in the lack of troops, if they can collect more than 40,000 cavalry under Kong Yuzhou for their own use, then the disadvantage in terms of troops can be successfully compensated, even if Dong Zhuo cannot be defeated in one blow, but they can also achieve several beautiful victories, making Wen Chou's reputation even higher! This can be regarded as achieving the goal of ugliness. However, this incident is not easy to operate! Basically, so to speak, it is basically impossible.

After thinking about it for a while, Wen Chou understood the meaning of these three people at the moment, and confirmed: "According to what you said, do you need to collect the more than 40,000 steps under Kong Yuzhou for our use first?" ”

Tian Chou replied, "Exactly." ”

Wen Chou said: "We are a guest army, Kong Yuzhou is a landlord, it would be good to be able to suppress him, and you want to collect the people and horses under his account for your own use?" It's as difficult as it gets. ”

"If it is difficult to collect the Yuzhou army for use, then if you can get the help of Kong Yuzhou." Tian Feng said.

"That's hard, too." Wen Chou said categorically.

Tian Chou, Tian Feng, Xun Yan and so on are all silent.

Guo Jia was worried and said: "If you can't get the help of the Yuzhou army, then with the 50,000 or 60,000 horses of the lord's lord and General Sun, General Zhang, and General Cao, if you enter the battle, the outcome is unpredictable." In fact, there is more possibility of defeat, Guo Jia was hindered by the face of the ugliness, so he said unpredictable words.

In this small group, in addition to Wen Chou, Sun Jian, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and even Bao Xin's subordinates are mostly new pawns, and the elite who can fight together cannot reach 10,000, even if you add the elite of Wen Chou, it is the limit to have 20,000 elites, and the strength of this force is not unpredictable to win with the elite of Liangzhou, the central elite, and the elite of Bingzhou under Dong Zhuo.
