Chapter 4, Yuyang Haoqiang

Everyone turned their attention to Xun You, Guo Jia and Shi Xun. Because he couldn't think of an answer, he was a little scared at first, but then he thought about it - it doesn't matter, if you can't think of it, you can't think of it, it's shameless to lose to Xun Gongda and Guo Fengxiao.

Of course, even if he didn't give Cao Cao the right opinion, he couldn't always be silent, he had to say a few words, and it seemed that he also had some opinions, but he was just a little worse than Xun and Guo...... Wait, in fact, it may not be worse than them, I'll slow down first, wait for them to say it first, and then echo it when it's over, it's okay. I don't go back to pick up people's spit, so that people won't see through their true colors because of this.

I heard Guo Jia speak: "The guard of Jicheng, in Xu Ziyuan and Xiao Yuantu, the two of them are in charge of the Yuan family's government. Yuan Benchu's death, if the matter is suspicious, and the court can ask about it, then the two of them will have revenge. That is, Chen Dabing is in the realm, waiting for his recovery, that is, he is responsible for being rude, and Yuan Shang can be defeated. On the battlefield of Bing Chen, if he does not apply for help, Yuan Tan will be suspicious, and if he is suspicious of the equipment, he can also fight against each other, without losing the trust of the court. ”

What Guo Jia means, don't say who you want to help first, let's drive the soldiers over first. Yuan Tan is afraid, he must be on guard, then there will be an excuse to beat him. Then wait for Jicheng's reply, no matter what the other party says, we can find an excuse to beat Yuan Tan and then beat Yuan Shang. In a word, anyway, the goal is to wipe out the Yuan clan and take Youzhou, so we can't fight both?

It's Xun, you have a bit of a mysterious idea, right? Is it that the other party's strength is judged too badly, and he thinks too much of himself? couldn't help but ask: "Now the brothers want to fight, and if they are in a hurry, they will hold each other." Slow down and then fight. If they are one, it may be difficult to break. ”

He copied Guo Jia's old wisdom in the original history, and Xu Yu was ordered by Yuan Shao to come to ask for success. The same thing was expressed. No matter how discordant the Yuan brothers are, they are not stupid, they know the truth of cold lips and teeth, if we don't express our stance and kill them directly, they will definitely join forces to deal with it, plus Yuan Xi and Gao Gan, even if they can win. It's easy to have ups and downs, so why bother? Why don't you pull one to fight the other, so that it is convenient to separate the two?

Xun You smiled slightly: "I mean to be the same as Feng Xiao." But it doesn't have to be that complicated. But the order of the Shen Dynasty is to make the Yuan brothers enter the Xu confrontation, and he will not come, so it is okay to cut them down. "His strategy is more straightforward. And it's dignified. It is much more upright than Guo Jia. Didn't you attack each other and rebel against each other? Don't they all want the imperial court to recognize their own inheritance? Well, you all come to the court and make it clear. If they dare not come, they will disobey the order, and the army will be killed, and no one will be able to say anything.

It was Xun Xin who said that you are more ruthless, and you really should be like nothing. In fact, he should have followed Guo and Xun's words to echo the words, but he was really a little worried, and he couldn't help but pour cold water - "Yuan's is not worried." However, if he joins Karasuma in the east, he will immediately summon Karasuma soldiers to help. I am afraid that the court will not be easy to peace. "Even if those boys of the Yuan family are not successful, the Yuan army is also frightened, you still have to prevent them from looking for foreign aid, the Karasuma cavalry is brave, the current number of cavalry of the Cao family is not enough, and it is not easy to win the battle.

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but nod: "This is indeed something to worry about." ”

Xun You smiled: "This is easy." Yuan Tan has been out for a long time, and Yuan Ben's original heart is known to everyone, and it is Tan who cannot continue to know. And Tan sued Shang for killing his father, although the matter is unclear, Yuan Shang is in a place of suspicion, and he is young and unworthy of being an heir. There was still a neutron in the beginning, why didn't the imperial court allow it to continue? Then the Yuan clan must be divided, and Karasuma may not come to help. ”

Shixun's eyes couldn't help but light up - damn it, there is such a trick!

Xun Yu means, Yuan Tan's position as the heir has long been unstable, and everyone knows that Yuan Shao wants to abolish Chang Liyu, so the court can't recognize him, let alone help him. What about Yuan Shang? He was originally the youngest son (the third), and he was not very clear on the issue of his father's death, so naturally he could not be the heir. But doesn't the Yuan family still have a second child? If we arch the second Yuan Xi out and recognize him as the head of the Yuan family, of course Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will not be convinced, but Gao Gan may not be convinced, and if Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not the masters of the Yuan family, they may not be able to say that Karasuma will help.

Everyone agreed, Cao Cao pondered for a while, and asked: "I heard that Yuan Xi loves his brother lightly, if the court sends an envoy, he will not dare to obey, what can I do?" "Yuan Xi has no ambitions, and he is different from his brother and brother, he is more friendly, if he refuses to be the heir, then no matter how good the plan is, won't it all fail?

Shi Xun frowned, suddenly remembered something, and confessed: "Please ask Prime Minister Yunxun to ask about Feng Xiao." "I'm going to ask Guo Jia privately for some information, please nod. Cao Cao was a little puzzled, but finally agreed, saying you go and ask.

Shi Xun pulled Guo Jia aside and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Yuan Xi is based on Yuyang Yongnu, Quanzhou and Guangyang Anci, a total of three counties. As far as Feng Xiaozhi knows, who is the government of the three counties really obsessed with? ”

Guo Jia was slightly taken aback, and said that there are very few people who know this information, where did you get it? Since Cao Cao had already nodded his head, he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Wang Song, a native of Yuyang." Shi Xun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows proudly, and continued to ask again: "There is a Zhuo person Liu Zi abandoned, and Feng Xiao knows it?" He was proud, and Guo Jia's brows could be furrowed even tighter: "It's in Wang Song's curtain - how does Hongfu know?" ”

Did Xun Xin say where did I know? Of course, I read it from history books. However, looking at Guo Fengxiao's eyes, it is quite scary, think about it, as soon as he is engaged in intelligence work, he gets some secret materials, I am afraid that no one except Cao Cao has ever told him, but he was broken by an irrelevant person, and anyone will be surprised or even frightened. No, I have to find an excuse to fool things over, don't let Guo Jia mistakenly think that I want to meddle in intelligence work - just meddle in intelligence work, and I still hide information at home, and I refuse to report it to Cao Cao, this is a big crime!

rolled his eyes, and said casually: "This Xu Ziyuan said in the past." "It was when Xu You followed Yuan Shao that he fled to Youzhou, didn't he come to ask for success? I asked him about the situation in Youzhou, and I occasionally heard - "It's been a long time, and I haven't examined what the situation is, so I asked him." "But that was more than a year ago, and I don't know if it's still the same now, so I'm going to ask you.

Guo Jia seemed to believe it or not, and continued to squint at Shi Xun. However, it was Xun who was a little careful, how could he let him see it, smiled slightly, and quickly turned his head to report to Cao Cao: "The lord is worry-free, Xun Bao Yuan Xi will not refute the edict of the imperial court." ”

Why did Shixun dare to pat his chest and guarantee the ticket? The reason is that the two people he asked Guo Jia just now - Wang Song and Liu Fang.

Liu Fangzi renounced, a native of Zhuo County, who was as famous as Sun Zi in the original history, and had been the confidential secretary of the Cao family's father and son for many years, and became a senior official of the Central Book Supervisor. Later, it was these two people who played tricks on Cao Rong's deathbed, rejecting Xiahou Xian and Cao Zhao, who were not on good terms with their own family, and arching Sima Yi and Cao Shuang to the stage - directly leading to the subsequent Cao Shuang's chaos and Sima's usurpation.

According to historical records, Liu Fang initially defected to Yuyang Haoqiang Wang Song due to the war. This Wang Song is a real local powerhouse, holding three counties in his hands - Yongnu, Quanzhou and Anci. Later, Cao Cao pacified Jizhou, Liu Fang persuaded Wang Song to surrender to Cao, so Wang Song offered three counties - the document was written by Liu Fang, Cao Cao saw that it was brilliantly written, and asked the knife catcher, so he summoned Liu Fang to his side to be an official.

This is exactly how Liu Ziqi started.

Of course, Xun Qing may not be able to think of this matter, but today Cao Cao convened a meeting, and by the way, let Guo Jia tell about the shape of Youzhou, Yuan Shao's three sons and nephews' respective territories, and Xun heard that Yuan Xi occupied Yongnu, Quanzhou and Anci, and couldn't help but think - alas, these place names are connected together, why do they sound a little familiar? After pondering it carefully, I finally remembered Liu Fang's matter.

So he asked Guo Jia first, can Yuan Xi really have the final say on his three-county territory? Who is the real person in power? Guo Jia mentioned the name of "Wang Song", because Xun pondered the drama, so he asked again, there is a person named Liu Ziqi from Zhuo County, has it been mentioned in the information you collected?

As soon as he heard that Liu Fang was really under Wang Song, Shi Xun felt that this matter was basically gone. Yuan Xiken refused to accept the imperial edict, that is not something he can say, he has to ask Wang Song, who is really in charge, and according to the original historical judgment, Liu Fang is in his heart to Cao, and it is likely that he will persuade Wang Song to take the opportunity to attach himself to Cao Cao. If Yuan Xi refuses the imperial edict and is still between the two, then there is a seventy percent chance that Wang Song persuaded him to accept it, and a ninety percent chance that Liu Fang persuaded Wang Song to persuade Yuan Xi to accept it.

Ninety percent of the likelihood, alas, I'll bet on this!

So he turned around and guaranteed Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked, "What do you see and what clouds are?" It was Xun who glanced at Guo Jia and smiled silently, which means: Relevant top-secret information really can't be told in public.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, and then at Shi Xun, and said in his heart that since these two have unified their opinions, and this idea was first proposed by Xun You - the three strategists agree, let's just decide. So he assigned the duties, prepared the troops in advance, and then dismissed the meeting, leaving Xun, Guo, and Shi alone.

Shi Xun continued to lie, saying that I had heard Xu You mention that the one who controls the three counties of Yongnu is actually the local powerful Wang Song, and Wang Song has a Liu Fang under his command, and his heart is to the court, so Yuan Xi is a puppet, as long as Liu Fang and Wang Song deliver a few words, he will naturally not refuse the order of the court.

Because it was a temporary idea, this lie is not very round, in case Xu Yu returns to Cao in the future, Cao Cao will ask about this matter, I am afraid that he will have to go to the gang. But there is no way, so I have to wait for a while to think about it in detail, and design several plans to make up for it in advance - you can go to Guan Jing and Zhuge Liang to ask for advice, and tell them that you have special intelligence channels, but you must not let Guo Jia know.

Cao Cao said that this matter is still not safe, and it is best who can write a letter to contact that Liu Fang. Xun You and Guo Jia both set their eyes on Shi Xun, and Shi Xun had no choice but to reply, since it is my judgment, then I should write a letter - the lord can wait for good news.
