"This grain and grass is easy to do, and you can plunder some from the side of the people, and buy some from the other princes. And now we border Yizhou, which is a big grain-producing state, and there is so much grain that we can't eat it at all. And the father-in-law of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan must have seen it, but he is just a cowardly foot-guarding dog, and he has no ability, but after the father-in-law directly Chen Bing 200,000 went to Hanzhong to deter, as soon as Liu Yan's character is not obedient, let him donate some food. ”

"As for the money, there is no need to worry. Father-in-law, do you know what kind of copper coins we use now? Li Ru asked with a smile.

"The five baht coins minted by the first emperor?" Dong Zhuo said without thinking.

"Yes, it is the five-baht coin, and it is not difficult to cast the five-baht coin, and we can completely let the craftsman cast it privately according to the appearance of the five-baht coin. Even if it's a little different from the real five-baht coin, who can recognize it? When the time comes, weapons, armor, horses, and food will be available, are you afraid that you will not be able to support the 500,000 army? Li Ru said with a smile.

"Privately minted copper coins!" Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly popped out when he heard this, and he exclaimed in surprise. You must know that Lu Dao is a matter of losing his head when he privately mints copper coins in this big man. It is even more guilty of selling salt and iron without permission. This kind of thing is put on a prince like Tao Qian or Kong Rong who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he will never do it. But what kind of person is this Dong Zhuo, the little emperor is in his hands, is he still afraid of these things.

"Virtuous son-in-law, this method is wonderful." Dong Zhuo quickly came back to his senses, clapped his palms and shouted. A face full of excitement. If you mint copper coins yourself, as long as there are enough copper mines, then you don't want to pay as much as you want. And even if it is not made like the five baht money of the first emperor's period. But who will find out? Now that all the people only have five baht in their eyes, they will not be separated at all, and it will definitely not be a problem for Dong Zhuo to feed the 500,000 soldiers and horses at that time.

"In that case, let's go to my father-in-law and make a holy decree." Li Ru said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo smiled hideously when he heard this, looked at a palace in the north, and said, "It's not simple. ”

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, revealing a hint of a wicked smile.

Bohai County, Jizhou.

"Tell me, what should we do about Liu Yao's wedding?" Yuan Shaona's letter. He asked with a frown at the person below.

And there are four people sitting below Yuan Shao's hello, and it is the four major strategists under Yuan Shao's command, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Xu You. As for the two people who were supposed to be under Yuan Shao's command later, they were poached by Liu Yao early. Naturally, it won't be here.

And this trial, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu are all members of the Jizhou family. After Yuan Shao returned from Luoyang, he began to recruit troops. And the people of these big families also all took a fancy to Yuan Shao's strength and the identity of the fourth and third dukes. did not hesitate to devote himself to Yuan Shao's command.

As for that Xu You, it was Yuan Shao's playmates, and the two of them and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were also known as the Four Sons of Luoyang. Of course, this is naturally notorious. These four people are also the masters of looking for flowers and willows, and they are also a tyrant in Luoyang, and no one dares to provoke them. And before the chaos in Luoyang, the prescient Xu You left Luoyang. After Yuan Shao returned to Bohai, he also joined his command.

"My lord, I don't think we should go, this Liu Yao has an enmity with us. Why bother to give him any face? This is the judge who stood up and said.

"Yes, my lord. I seconded the proposal, besides, we are still preparing for war, that Han Fu Xiao'er, as a protégé of the Yuan family, is not grateful for the favor of the fourth and third princes of the lord, but opposes the lord, we should send troops to take Yecheng and ask Han Fu for an explanation. Guo Tu also stood up and said. Of course, it's more euphemistic. Obviously, it was Yuan Shao who wanted to take Jizhou and become the shepherd of Jizhou to provoke this war. Then Han Fu is just self-preservation.

Yuan Shao couldn't help nodding after hearing this, and said, "Reasonable, reasonable." ”

"I think you want to hurt the lord." At this time, an urn sounded, and some harsh voices came, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It's not that Xu Yu or anyone.

"Xu Ziyuan, what do you mean, I am loyal to the lord, and heaven and earth can learn from it. When do I want to harm the lord, if you don't make it clear, I, Guo Tu, will never die with you! Guo Tu was suddenly furious and roared at Xu You.

The four strategists under Yuan Shao's command are not right in themselves, and every time they have to quarrel for half a day, today is no exception, this Xu You and Guo Tu have a bar.

Yuan Shao also looked at Xu You to see what he wanted to say. This is Yuan Shao's personality, he is decisive and has no plans, he never intervenes in the small fights between the strategists under his hands, and always likes to listen to everyone's opinions and make his own decisions.

However, he Yuan Shao is naturally not such a simple character. This is done in order to satisfy his idea of making decisions. There is another layer of purpose.

This Yuan Shao's command is basically the power established by the family. And the reason why these families helped Yuan Shao was largely for their own interests. And with interests, there will naturally be fights. Many of his families have formed alliances. For example, the family headed by Guo Tu and the trial pair, and a group of sub-families led by Xu You and Feng Ji. A situation of mutual confrontation was formed.

And there may not be a credit for Yuan Shao. As the lord of the house, he naturally can't see the scene of a dominant family, so he is happy to let them fight, forming a stable situation, which is what Yuan Shao wants to see.

Xu You glanced at Guo Tu with disdain, and said, "Although the lord now has countless fierce generals and 200,000 soldiers and horses, most of these are new soldiers and do not have much combat power. And Na Han is a Jizhou pastor, and he also has an army of 100,000 under his hands. Therefore, even if the lord can win, it must be a big loss, and it will hinder the lord's future hegemony. ”

"You!" Guo Tu was immediately angry when he heard this, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he pointed at Xu You, looking speechless.

"Enough!" At this time, Yuan Shao stopped the dispute between the two and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter, Ziyuan is right, now is indeed not a good time to send troops, wait a few more months, and when all the recruits are trained, it is not too late to send troops." ”

Yuan Shao had spoken, and Xu You and Guo Tu naturally didn't dare to say anything more. That Guo Tu snorted coldly and sat down very unhappily. And Xu You, who had won, glanced at Guo Tu with some disdain and showed a hint of a smile.

"Okay, it's still the incident just now, should I give a gift to that Liu Yao." Yuan Shao asked with a frown.

"Lord Qiqi, I think I should go." At this time, Xu You stood up again and said. "Although the lord has a lot of grievances with that Liu Yao, these personal grievances are just small things in front of the world's hegemony. Now all the princes are the hegemonic side, and it can be said that everyone is an enemy and everyone is a friend. And Liu Yao's strength is so strong now, why should the lord offend him. One more powerful helper is better than one more powerful enemy. ”

Yuan Shao's brows furrowed deeper when he heard this, and his hand unconsciously touched his left shoulder. It was the place where he was crushed by Liu Yao's thunderbolt axe a few days ago. Although it is better now, Yuan Shao vaguely felt that the wound seemed to be painful again. Obviously, he still can't let go of that grudge, this Liu Yao humiliated himself in front of the allied army is still vivid, and asking him to let go of this grudge is indeed enough to embarrass him for the good-faced Yuan Shao.

"My lord, I also think I should go." At this time, Xu You's ally Feng Ji also stood up in solidarity with Xu You.

Yuan Shao immediately set his eyes on Feng Ji, wanting to see what he wanted to say.

"My lord, the elite soldiers and horses in this Youzhou are all well known, and their weapons and armor are also the best in the world. And those papers, books, and those are all treasures. Therefore, we can lose the gift on the surface and secretly send someone to find out the secrets of these things. If this secret is found, then the lord's future hegemony is just around the corner.
