"Lord!"

Just when Wei Tao was about to refuse to tear his face with Kong Rong, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"Lord, Yu thinks this matter can be dealt with! Yuan Benchu was unkind, was a traitor, it can be said that everyone can be punished, if the lord conforms to the time and people, he can win in one fell swoop, help the Han Dynasty, and leave his name in history. ”

Seeing Zhou Yu speak, Wei Tao was slightly stunned, Zhou Yu is his confidant brother, he should know his own thoughts, now that this is the case, is there some mystery in it?

"Wenju, the matter of sending troops is very important, and now that Yuan Benchu has not been the king after all, it is very difficult to send troops at this time. It is not easy for Wenju to escape so far, why don't you rest for a while? ”

Wei Tao changed his words after hesitating slightly, and said slowly.

"In this way, I can find out if Yuan Shao is really rebellious against the big man, and second, it can also allow me to prepare some matters. I don't know what Wenju thinks? ”

Although Kong Rong is a scribe, he also knows a little about these military affairs, and he knows that it is impossible for Wei Tao to send troops immediately.

"That's fine, I want to be a general, and I will definitely not coax me, so I will wait for the general's good news!"

Kong Rong got up, regained his demeanor, and retreated after a salute, but Kong Rong had already secretly made up his mind that he would always urge Wei Tao to send troops to rescue the Son of Heaven from danger.

"What does Gong Jin mean?"

After Kong Rong left, Wei Tao asked with a slight wry smile, and even Xun Yu didn't open his mouth, faintly acquiescing to Wei Tao's practice of not getting involved in the Central Plains battle, but he didn't know that Wei Tao and Zhou Yu wanted to stop it.

"What does the lord think Yuan Shao will do? To this point. Will he still be able to give up the throne in his hands? If not, he is king. Then he will be called the emperor! But so. The lord thinks that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are like this, and their momentum is long? ”

Contrary to Wei Tao's expectations, Zhou Yu did not explain his purpose, but asked and answered himself.

"The reason why Yuan Shu was able to proclaim himself emperor and has survived until now is because Liu Biao in the south is the 'dog of the house', and he is unmoved by Jing Xiang's place, and Sun Ce has used him to raise troops, and it is difficult to counterattack. And to the north. Although there are heroes like Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde was restrained by Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao had fought against Yuan Shu, and both sides were killed and wounded, he was quite restrained, and it was impossible to really hurt the foundation of Yuan Shu, and although Lu Bu was quite at odds with Yuan Shu, he also had an alliance with him, even if Cao Mengde was a hero in the world, he could not destroy Yuan Shu. ”

"Yes, it does."

Wei Tao nodded. Then he shook his head slightly.

"But this time I went south with Gongjin, and I could see the hardship of the people of Yangzhou. But Yuan Shu only knows how to expropriate and extort violently, and he is even more enjoyable, which can be described as a dry bone in the family! Sooner or later, it is not enough to be destroyed! ”

"Yes, exactly. Therefore, Yu thought that although Yuan Shao was more ambitious than Yuan Shu, if this was the case, I am afraid that he would also be trapped and killed! There are Ma Teng and other armies in the west, Cao Cao in the east, and there are more lords in the north. ”

Zhou Yu said slowly, Wei Tao already understood what he meant, and sure enough, the next moment Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"This is a godsend! Since Yuan Shao has already fallen into death, why doesn't the lord take Jizhou with all his might? The state is in the hands of the lord, and Youzhou is in the hands of the lord, but these two states are barren places and cannot be used as a base. In the past, we conspired with the Lord, and we were about to take Jizhou as the logistics foundation! Why not take it now? ”

And so it was.

Now Wei Tao only accounts for half of Jizhou, but Wei Tao is only half of Jizhou's wealth far more than the state of Mergezhou, so Wei Tao is not impressed.

To expel aliens, it is not just about words, but also about actions, without strong logistical support, it is impossible to expel aliens, and it is impossible to resist the invasion of aliens.

"Zhou Yu's intention is to take this opportunity to seize Jizhou? If Jizhou goes down, will it be subordinate? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao finally nodded, this thing is actually not difficult to imagine, Wei Tao couldn't think for a while that it was precisely because its focus had never been in the Central Plains.

"Yes, if the lord can do this, he can get Jizhou as the foundation to better resist foreign races, and secondly, he can help the Han and prevent the Han from being destroyed in the hands of the villain."

At this time, Xun You also spoke, compared to Zhou Yu, I am afraid that Xun You thought more that if Wei Tao made this move, then it might also be for the Han to regain his prestige, and this matter is also very beneficial to Wei Tao, so the words are also very supportive.

"So what now? Wait for Yuan Shao to claim himself king and ascend the throne? It is really impossible to raise an army now. ”

Since his two strategists are the same, Wei Tao has also made up his mind, but he also knows that he pays attention to righteousness at this time, and now that the righteousness is not in him, how can he move lightly?

"Lord, Yuan Shao is proud, now that he has made up his mind, I am afraid that he will not hesitate anymore, his rebellious heart is in the near future, when the lord holds high the banner of righteousness, the soldiers swept Jizhou, when it can be taken in one fell swoop, after taking Jizhou, the foundation of the lord will be stable, and then it will naturally be able to compete with other races!"

Seeing Wei Tao responding, Zhou Yu immediately stepped forward and saluted, obviously he had a plan in mind.

"Now that the lord should prepare for the south, all military food and equipment should be even worse, especially the logistics arteries, so that they can sweep Jizhou to take it!"

"Good!"

Since Wei Tao has confirmed this, he immediately acted on the spot, and the transfer of Wei Tao's troops was not concealed, Kong Rong thought that he had already persuaded the results, and now he wanted to quickly urge Wei Tao to send troops.

It's just that every time Wei Tao refuses on the grounds that Yuan Shao has never rebelled.

But in fact, as Zhou Yu and Xun You expected, Yuan Shao was really arrogant, and in the continuous recitals of the king, Liu Xie finally couldn't hold on.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was always not in harmony, he actually stepped down from the dragon chair and held Yuan Shao's hand in the middle of the government and begged him to be the king.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the vassals are unwilling, but there are two lords in the sky, even if Shao has a heart, but the king is also a vassal, what if he changes the order one day?"

Seeing Liu Xie's pleading, Yuan Shao said proudly.

"If you want to rule the world peacefully, how can a single king succeed?"

"This ...... That ......"

After all, Liu Xie has also been an emperor for several years, and he is also smart, so he still doesn't understand what Yuan Shao means, so he can't help but ask bitterly.

"Why did the prime minister persecute me to come here?"

"It's not that I forced Your Majesty, it's really a piece of the minister's heartfelt words, and in this way, it is also to be able to return the peace of the world!"

At this time, Yuan Shao naturally couldn't have any soft-heartedness, and the words he said were cold and ruthless, but they made Liu Xie only feel that his body was soft, and he almost wanted to faint.

But where can Yuan Shao manage so much, now the Han royal family has no real power, and looking at Yuan Shu as the emperor for nearly a year, he has never seen anyone crusade in person, so Yuan Shao's heart is also hot.

Since the Han family has declined to this point, why can't he replace it?

If Heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it mad.

If Yuan Shao occupies the land of the four states in history, although he is the first prince in the world, he has the great cause of unifying the world, so Yuan Shao is not in a hurry.

But now it is different, Yuan Shao's new defeat is in need of recovering morale, and this defeat is done by the Son of Heaven, so Yuan Shao is doubly disgusted.

After not doing anything, Yuan Shao finally had such a thought.

Under Yuan Shao's thoughts, except for Tian Fengzheng's objection, the rest of the people agreed, and it can be said that everyone knew Yuan Shao's thoughts.

As for Tian Feng, after repeated opposition to no avail, he was directly imprisoned by Yuan Shao, which can be described as extremely miserable.

Liu Xie was not a person who was hard to die, and under heavy coercion, he finally compromised and agreed to give the throne to Yuan Shao.

Naturally, there is a set of procedures for the gift of Zen Rang, but at this time, Yuan Shao couldn't wait, and directly ordered people to say, if the situation changes today, you can't delay it for a long time, and act as soon as possible.

In the end, Yuan Shao was proclaimed king on the third day and emperor on the fifth day, and officially issued an edict to the world.

When the news came out, naturally the world was in an uproar, and many princes were shaken.

Although all the princes knew that Yuan Shao had this intention, they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Yuan Shao really do this.

But it's a pity that that's the case, except for sending out one or two inscriptions, the other princes didn't see any actual action at all, even Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, the two Han clan relatives, were disdainful of this, and even Liu Zhang went directly to enjoy the song and dance after reading it, and there was not even a trace of sigh.

The decline of the royal family, as did the Han family, only Cao Cao dispatched troops and sent generals, and he was ready to go to war, which made many people recognize him as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

But that's just it, there is no other thing to do, and the princes of the world are almost indifferent to this, which makes people sigh.

In the past, the panicked man who 'although far away must be punished' actually fell into this place one day, which is really sighing.

"What a Yuan Benchu, sure enough! Come! Spread the word to the world, I immediately sent troops south to crusade against Yuan Shao! ”

The news spread to Wei Tao, and Wei Tao, who had already prepared, did not hesitate, and directly ordered to send troops, with Tai Shici and Xu Huang as the vanguard, Zhou Yu as the strategist, and at the same time sent the Gan Ning Naval Army as a reinforcement, and the armies from all walks of life approached Yecheng.

Under the early preparation, the two armies immediately opened, the prosperity of the soldiers, the righteousness, and the prestige of Wei Tao's victory in a hundred battles pressed each other, along the way, many counties surrendered to each other, quite a bit of the meaning of surrendering without a fight.

All the way to Yecheng, this limelight is stopped, here should be officials, big and small, all of them are Yuan Shao's confidants, but the morale is high, but they will not fall in the wind.

And Yecheng is the center of Jizhou, if Yecheng is lost, Jizhou will completely fall into the hands of Wei Tao, Yuan Shao naturally knows this, although he did not come in person, but it is also under this arrangement of heavy troops, and the two generals under his command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all here to sit here, and it can be said that the troops are gathered for a while.

(Thank God?) Ye No Wukong's reward, and thank you for the support of other book friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
