Xiao Ji asked Shi Xun if he planned to make Xuzhou dependent on Yanzhou, but he didn't expect Shi Xun to categorically deny it. Xiao Ji and the others were stunned, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Xun Chen, and said that you didn't say that when you came back, you didn't say that to us. Shi Xun noticed their expressions, and took a deep breath at the moment, before he continued: "It's just that Tao Mu has retreated, Meng Zhanggongzi has no reputation, and there are strong enemies in the south who covet it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect it." I have an alliance with Xuzhou and Xuzhou, and I am in close neighborhood, so I ask Tao Mu to send a message to Meng Zhanggongzi, please temporarily obey the order of my lord. Xu, Yan and the enemy, what is the theory of dependence? ”

Xiao Ji was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and his heart said that wasn't what he meant? In other words, it seems logical to fake the fake model, where is it so easy? At the moment, he held back his anger and asked: "Qingzhou is also in its neighborhood, and General Yuan is the leader of the alliance, why does Gongzi Meng Zhang not follow my lord's orders, but go to Cao Yanzhou?" ”

Shi Xun came back with words to Luo Quan: "General Yuan has something to do in the north, and the big thief of the country has not yet been able to ask for it, so what about An Youyu to take care of Xu Fang?" The judge ridiculed each other: "Although Cao Yanzhou broke Lu Bu, there is still a great enemy in the south, is it that Mr. has forgotten?" ”

Shi Xun shook his head: "It is precisely because there is still a great enemy in the south, and with the power of Yanzhou, it is difficult to extinguish, so Xuzhou is needed as a supplement-may I ask Mr. Zhengnan, the dispute between Ji and You, use Xu Fang?" Do you want Tao Gongzu to send troops to wade across the ocean, and turn their backs on the side of Bo Youzhou? Xuzhou has a good port again?! "In fact, two thousand years later, the east of Tanxian County is Lianyungang, but at this time, the coastline will shrink by forty or fifty kilometers, and the seaside is full of swamps and tidal flats, and even half of Lianyungang City is still sinking under the sea level.

This sentence was refuted, and the judges and others were speechless. It was not without ships at sea. Between the green and the secluded. That is, from Huangxian to Yushi. There are often sea ships coming and going, and it was Xun who arrived on the Shandong Peninsula through this road, and then between the Gongsun of Liaodong and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, he even crossed the vast sea to contact several times, which was simply an epoch-making achievement. But for Xuzhou, there are no such conditions at all.

Although they didn't speak, at this time, Shixun was already covered in cold sweat - after all, there were more than one enemy, and this kind of work was not so easy to do. He was glad he had brought a fan. Otherwise, when the cold sweat accumulates too much, the light breeze on the water pavilion suddenly blows, and nine out of nine will catch a cold. It's just that although the fan is shaking and his mouth is pursed, the more he argues with these guys in front of him, his posture can't help but gradually lower, and his madness gradually converges, and even looking up at the starry sky at forty-five degrees can't continue to maintain. No way, people have their own personalities, and the performance of this meal is not so delicious. Yes Xun wants to pretend to be a madman, but after all, he only pretends to be a little fur. This is completely incomparable with Chen Yuanlong, who is crazy to the bone.

Fortunately, at this time, suddenly a guard outside the pavilion shouted: "General Yuan has arrived!" ”

Yuan Shao came in, Shi Xun looked up, and saw that this general of the chariot cavalry, Jizhou Mu, and Guan Ai was of medium to tall stature, and he was middle-aged and slightly blessed. It was supposed to be a square face, but now the cheeks are slightly bulging outward, with a thick beard, it looks majestic and extraordinary-Shi-Xun couldn't help but think of the words he heard a fat man boast about in his previous life: "If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not mighty." ”

Yuan Shao didn't come in alone, he was followed by a scribe with a clear appearance, but he shrank behind his master, and his sense of presence was very weak. This is different from Cao De, Cao De is born with no sense of existence, even if he is the only one in the room, he is often ignored, but this person is clearly and chic, and standing up alone is quite eye-catching, but he is completely shrouded by Yuan Shao's prestige - in fact, as long as Yuan Shao appears, Shi Xun instinctively feels that more than half of the people present suddenly seem small.

Yuan Shao swaggered down in the upper seat, while the scribe beside him sat behind him—probably a secretary, with a board in his hand, a brush at his waist, and a small bag hanging from his belt, which should contain ink cartridges, knives, and other tools, ready to record the instructions of the lord. As soon as Yuan Shao sat down, his eyes glanced at Shi Xun, who didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood up with everyone, and bowed deeply: "It's just Xun, meet General Yuan." ”

Yuan Shao raised his hands, palms facing down, and pressed slightly: "All gentlemen, please sit, Mr. When everyone was seated, he asked, "How will you teach me, if you are from afar?" ”

It's Xunxin who can say it, Lao Tzu don't talk to the strong and weak under your hand, and let you make your own decisions clear. Yuan Shao is generally evaluated as "resourceful and indecisive", saying that he has soft ears and listens to whatever he is, but he always can't make up his mind. Shi Xun thinks that it is a misunderstanding, or more accurately, a misunderstanding caused by the deliberate dwarfing of the history books to future generations. Even if he failed at the end of the year, Yuan Shao was the hero of Hebei after all, and he once shocked the world, how could he not have his own ideas but always sway left and right?

Is Yuan Shao unbroken? He used to behead Kojiyi, and later imprisoned Tian Feng and degraded him, not to mention how fast he started. So it gives people the impression that his ears are soft and swaying from side to side, but because his ministers are in a faction and attacking each other, he must try his best to mediate to maintain balance. So instead of spitting wildly to refute Xu Yu and Ji Ji, it is better to persuade Yuan Shao directly.

He arched his hand towards Yuan Shao and said loudly: "What kind of person is Xun, and dare to speak? I just heard that the general wanted to try Xu Fang, so I came here to admonish. For the sake of the general, you must not be unkind, unjust, unwise, or unbelieving, so as to hurt the general's wisdom! ”

Tian Feng couldn't listen to it anymore, and asked in a loud voice: "Is it that Mr. is overdoing this, how can he want Xu Fang to be unkind, unrighteous, unwise, and unbelieving?" Your lord Cao Yanzhou, isn't it also interested in Xuzhou? ! ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand slightly towards Tian Feng, turned his head and looked at Shi Xun: "Yes, sir, please speak, Shao Xi's ears are listening." ”

To throw the rhetoric to Yuan Shao, Shi Xun had already been fully prepared, and stood up at the moment, shook the feather fan, and began to talk eloquently:

"The two families of Yuan and Tao have never had any contacts, and at this time when Tao Mu wants to retreat and Meng Zhang's son has been in trouble, he suddenly intends to Xu Fang, which is to take advantage of the danger of others, so Yun is not benevolent. My lord is the only general to protect the southern front, the strong enemy is cunning, and he wants to use Xuzhou as a help, and the general takes Xuzhou first, so that the strong man is cold, so the cloud is unjust. The military has something to do in the north, abandons Xuzhou and has nothing to lose, Xuzhou has nothing to lose, and forcibly takes a useless thing, so it is unwise. Let the younger brother covet Xuzhou for a long time, if he goes north, Jizhou is far away, Qingzhou is still poor, there is no way to help, and he can't save Xuzhou, so Yun doesn't believe it.

"It is because the general wants to try Xuzhou at this time, and there are all kinds of harm but no benefit. Why don't you put Xuzhou in my lord, one can calm my lord's heart, so that Xu and Yan can be used to order the younger brother, and the other can ensure the safety of the southern border, so that the general can go north with all his strength to break the grandson. And when the general unifies Hebei, Qing, You, and the four states, it is to affirm the righteousness of the world, gather the princes, fight the thieves in the west, and re-glorify the Han Dynasty, then the world will see the general's horse Seoul, and Xuzhou alone? ”

This is in the same vein as when he said that he would quit and be frustrated, although his rhetoric is different. Yuan Shao was busy fighting Gongsun Zan at this time, even if he won Xuzhou, the north and south were thousands of miles apart, and it would not have much help to the front-line battle situation, which might not only involve energy, but also cause Cao Cao's jealousy - do you still want Cao Cao to help block Yuan Shu, turn your face now, is it worth it?

The alliance of Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shu was a flank attack from the north and south, while the alliance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was back-to-back to defend against foreign enemies. Really speaking, the previous alliance is far away and it is difficult to echo it, and even if the alliance is broken, the impact will not be great; But if the latter alliance breaks down, both sides will be surrounded and pincered, and the situation will become precarious in an instant. And it is difficult for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to abandon their previous suspicions and shake hands and make peace, but Cao Cao can, if Yuan Shao forces Cao Cao into Yuan Shu's camp, he is now half a fart in the two states, even if he is in the four states, he is still a dead man.

Yes, Cao Cao hated Yuan Shu very much, because Yuan Shu wanted to murder his father and his brother several times, but it didn't work out, and secondly, it was a personal grudge after all. To put it bluntly, as long as Yuan Shu is not in a hurry to become the emperor at this time, so that Cao Cao, who pretends to be a loyal minister of the Han family, will be eliminated quickly, for the sake of long-term reputation, it will never be possible to shake hands with him, otherwise Cao Cao will turn his face in a matter of minutes, and only Yuan Shao will be unlucky.

On the way to Jizhou, Shi Xun has been thinking, in the original history, Xuzhou changed hands frequently, and he was very happy to kill, and the most Lu fell into the hands of Cao Cao, why didn't Yuan Shao intervene, or did not intervene strongly, so it had no effect? Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, there is no time to spare, and it is beyond the reach of the whip. Except for the year when Yi Jing was besieged after the most reluctance, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun was a repeated tug-of-war, and the number of victories and defeats was at most four or six, although Yuan Shao had the upper hand, but he was not sloppy at all, otherwise he was likely to be pushed back. Where does he have time to ponder the problem of Xuzhou at this time, it is right to give Xuzhou to Cao Cao seriously, and win over this little brother who protects his back.

So as soon as Shi Xun showed his mouth a little that day, he retreated when he understood that people were frustrated, and now he gave it all out, and then used this truth to persuade Yuan Shao. Sure enough, when Yuan Shao heard this, he stroked his beard and was silent. The judge next to him, Xiao Ji still wanted to say something, but Yuan Shao waved his sleeves: "I have been taught." Today's wind is clear and sunny, the first time I saw Mr., can there be no wine? Let's bring the wine. ”

It was Xun who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that this would be considered a pass. After a short time, he carried a few cases from people, put on the wine and melons and fruits, and after three rounds of wine, suddenly the person behind Yuan Shao stood up with a cup, and bowed slightly to Shixun: "I heard that Mr. is also good at poetry, and he used to write a poem of 'picking Rongmu' in Qingzhou, which is concise and profound, and I am really admired." Today's event, I don't know if there will be a good work? ”

It's Xun Xin who said it, and someone is going to talk about poetry with Lao Tzu again-"Don't you dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

"Guangling Chen Lin." (To be continued......)
