"Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, and Cao Cao's tripartite alliance was defeated? Yuan Shu has sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and Xuzhou has been defeated and retreated? How can this be? ”

Even with Wei Tao's heart, after getting this news, he couldn't help but stand up in surprise.

Originally, Yang Feng led the troops to surrender, but Wei Tao could not have let the Bingzhou army recover its strength so quickly.

However, this still has enough time in Wei Tao's opinion.

For example, there are two places where there is a big war today, one is Youzhou and the other is Yangzhou, but in Wei Tao's opinion, the results of both places should be obvious.

Above Youzhou, although Baima Yicong was destroyed, it is not said that Beiping is Gongsun Zhan's lair, and more importantly, Liu Guanzhang is still under Gongsun Zhan, and he did not leave because of Gongsun Zhan's defeat, and Beiping still has the strength to fight.

And Yuan Shu is the same, according to Wei Tao and Xun You's expectations, although Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, he will not move troops at will, and with Yuan Shu's subordinates, it is not a problem to support each for a year and a half.

But neither Wei Tao nor Xun Yu thought that Yuan Shu would be able to win a big victory.

You must know that Lu Dao, Yuan Shao and Kong Rong did their best this time, as for Cao Cao, although he did not send the most elite troops, the strength under his command is not necessarily much worse.

In such a situation, he was still defeated by Yuan Shu, even if he hurriedly read the news, Wei Tao couldn't help but say another word.

"How is this possible, when did Lu Bu join Yuan Shu's men?"

"Lord, although Lu Bu has a bad reputation, I don't know why Yuan Shu has a lot of trust in Lu Bu this time. Most of the troops under his command were all under the command of Lu Bu. This is what makes the coalition army defeated. ”

Xun You shook his head with a slightly wry smile. This kind of thing was also unexpected by him, and to be honest, he was also derelict in his duties as a strategist.

"Lu Bu really deserves to be the number one brave general in the world, although the army has only been in command for a few days and can't be like a finger, but with the courage of his own headquarters and the strategy of the Chen Palace, he was caught off guard, even if the total number of troops of the entire coalition army was three times that of him. was also defeated by Lu Bu. ”

"After this defeat, the Xuzhou army is already weak, if it weren't for the fact that Kong Rong's subordinate Tai Shici was extremely decisive and withdrew in time, I am afraid that the strongest cavalry under his command would not be guaranteed, but so the Xuzhou army is also weakened. And because it was preserved, Yuan Shao was given an excuse to punish Tai Shici. ”

Zhuge Jin on the side also made an excuse and said, it was very worthless for Tai Shici.

And now that Lu Bu has learned that Chen Gong is planning for it, he also knows the truth of avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, so he did not continue to pursue the coalition army, but attacked and killed Xuzhou. It's really a good move! ”

"Lu Bu led the army to attack Xuzhou, could it be that Cao Mengde also ignored it?"

Wei Tao lowered his head slightly and asked. However, hearing this question, Xun You shook his head slightly.

"It is reported that Cao Cao has ordered people to evacuate from Xiao Pei, and obviously has no idea of confronting Lu Bu's army."

"Does it mean that Xuzhou will fall again? Falling into the hands of Yuan Shu? If I remember correctly, I just said not long ago that the little overlord Sun Ce, who was attacking Jiangdong, was only attacking and killing in the name of avenging his father, whether he had the heart to stand on his own or not, at least now he is still under Sun Ce's command. From this point of view, is it really possible for Yuan Shu to replace the Great Han? ”

As soon as Wei Tao's words came out, all the hall fell silent for a while.

Although Wei Tao does not have too much loyalty to the Han family, it is so easy to change the dynasty, even if it can really be done, the entire Central Plains will inevitably be in chaos, and there is still no benefit to Wei Tao.

In addition, Wei Tao also knows about Yuan Shu, and he knows that he is the most disdainful, whether it is stronger than him or not as good as him, so really speaking, Wei Tao doesn't really hope that Yuan Shu can really be so strong.

"My lord, the general trend of the world cannot be delayed, I think that the lord has been silent for a long time, and it is time to make a difference."

In a moment of silence, Xun You suddenly looked at Wei Tao and said seriously.

"Since His Majesty has appointed the lord as the pastor of Jizhou, then now is the time when the lord should enter Jizhou, I don't know what the lord thinks?"

"Staying in Jizhou?"

Wei Tao's eyes condensed slightly, this is to start a war with Yuan Shao?

After this defeat, Yuan Shao had to send the elite of Jizhou to fight again, so Jizhou was empty. The Lord's justice can take advantage of the weakness. ”

Xun You said with a slight smile.

"Of course, with Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, he has been operating in Jizhou for a long time, if the lord attacks it, he will definitely be hindered, so if he wants to seize Jizhou, the lord must get the support of the Jizhou clan."

"Jizhou clan?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, faintly thinking of Xun You's meaning, speaking of the Jizhou clan, the Wei family and the Zhen family should be the leader, but Wei Tao and these two clans do not have too deep friendship.

However, since Xun You gave Wei Tao this proposal, it was naturally after his careful consideration, and there was no need for Wei Tao to worry more, Xun You just said directly.

"I also know that the lord has a disagreement with the Hedong Wei family. However, the lord can know that Wei Zhongdao has been dead for a long time, and because of the relationship between the lord and the lord, although Yuan Shao did not move the Hedong Wei family, he has never trusted him, and his situation is also difficult. If the lord sends someone to win over, he will be convinced! ”

For the Hedong Wei family because of the past, Wei Tao did subconsciously think that he was an enemy of himself, of course, Wei Tao didn't know that Wei Zhongdao had died.

With Wei Tao's current status, it is already the difference between heaven and earth with a mere Wei Zhongdao, even if he is still alive, there is no difference between Wei Tao and all the way.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll write to my father and let him go to him in person, so as to see the sincerity, as long as the Hedong Wei clan is not too excessive, it should be fine."

So at the moment, Wei Tao just nodded.

"Although the Hedong Wei family is a big family, it is a family heirloom with poetry and books, although it is quite influential in Jizhou, but it is actually not as good as the Zhen family, so compared to the Wei family, the Zhen family is actually more important."

At this moment, Xun You said slowly, and Wei Tao naturally understood this.

Just like Xuzhou, it turned out that it was also controlled by the three major families, but the Cao family had the greatest real power, followed by the Mi family, and the Chen family was the last.

But now that Lu Bu's army is approaching Xuzhou, the status of the Mi family is even heavier.

Why, because it has mastered the logistics and transportation within Xuzhou, once the Mi family is missing, the logistics of the Xuzhou army will be cut off by half.

And the status of the Zhen family in Jizhou is also similar, and it also has a strong business ability in Jizhou, even Yuan Shao has to give a little face to be able to make all kinds of materials and logistics exchanges.

"What's Gongda's policy?"

"Marriage."

"Marriage?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and he couldn't think of Xun You's meaning for a while.

"I heard that not long ago, Yuan Shao discussed with the Zhen family for his second son Yuan Xi, and wanted Yuan Xi to marry Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family. It is said that although Zhen Mi is only more than ten years old, he is already a heavenly fragrance country, and after he was born, he has to be a treasure, which can be described as a treasure of the Zhen family. ”

Xun You just talked eloquently, and Wei Tao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

Although Yuan Shao has this intention, Yuan Xi is only the second son after all, and it will be difficult to inherit Yuan Shao's career in the future, so the Zhen family still hesitates. If the lord can propose to marry him at this time, then it is not a worrying thing for the Zhen family. ”

"Gongda, you should know that Yan'er is my wife, even if I want to take Zhen'er as my wife, I still want Yan'er to be my wife."

Wei Tao's voice was very calm, but it was also very firm.

Not to mention the relationship between Wei Tao and Cai Yan, just for the sake of temporary profit is to change his wife, Wei Tao can't do such a thing, let alone do it.

If this is really the case, which of the heroes in the world is willing to take refuge in a ruthless and unrighteous lord?

"The lord misunderstood, it's just an ordinary wife. How can it be that the Lord will do that great injustice? ”

Xun You immediately laughed and said, this matter can't be misunderstood.

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Wei Tao was also contemplative, at this time, he married earlier, and when Wei Tao married Cai Yan and accepted Diao Chan, their age was not very old, so even if Wei Tao married Zhen Mi again, there would be no problem, let alone any strange feeling.

Is Wei Tao really thinking about the need for this?

"The lord, the princes of all walks of life in the world are the youngest in the lord, which is the disadvantage of the lord, but now it is also the advantage of the lord. If Yuan Benchu could be ten years younger, he would marry Zhen Mi, how could the Zhen family not be at that time? If you can give birth to a son, you can fight for the right to inherit. The Zhen family will not fail to take this into account. ”

At this time, Xun You spoke again, but Xun You was just explaining the facts and did not do much persuasion.

"With the help of the Zhen family, if the troops are sent to Jizhou, then we can have no worries about logistics, not to mention that the Zhen family can stand in Jizhou for so many years, and there must be a lot of private soldiers in their hands, if they can be used, it will be easier to take Jizhou."

"In this way, how about this marriage proposal be handed over to the public service? If the Zhen family is willing to agree, I will take Jizhou in the future, and I will reuse it. ”

Wei Tao finally didn't say no more to refuse, but nodded and said slowly.

"No."

Xun You first responded, and then his face was straight, and he looked at Wei Tao and said seriously.

"Lord, just this is not enough, since the lord is already the pastor of Jizhou, why don't the lord send a letter to the Taishou of Jizhou, so that he can know the meaning of the lord?"

"In this way, how about leaving this matter to Ziyu?"

Wei Tao also understood what Xun You meant, but as soon as Xun You arrived at Zhen's house, the matter he intended to get involved in Jizhou must be known to Yuan Shao, so there was no need to hide it, but it was so better.

"No. Please rest assured. ”

Zhuge Jin also knew what Xun Tao meant, and when he heard Wei Tao's words, he smiled and bowed his hand. (To be continued......)
