Fang Zhiwen was still on the way back to Miyun when he got the news that Zhang Zhao had joined Sun Jian, and it was almost noon, when the team was about to stop to trim lunch, Fang Zhiwen stopped on a hillside, where the view was wide, but the wind was a little strong.

Fang Zhiwen looked at the news about Zhang Zhao and smiled, and at the same time received a letter of help from Gongsun Zhan, looking at the information in his hand, Fang Zhiwen couldn't help but be a little distracted, and Taishi Zhaorong beside him asked curiously: "Husband, husband, what is the news?" ”

Li Xueyin, who was on the other side, stroked her windswept hair and smiled: "It's not someone's love letter, right?" ”

Taishi Zhaorong looked at Li Xueyin curiously: "Then who is who1."

"Hee-hee, whoever it should be is who, then you have to ask your husband, how to ask me 1

Taishi Zhaorong looked at Fang Zhiwen sourly, Fang Zhiwen smiled and said, "The rumors are self-defeating, take it and take a look 1."

Taishi Zhaorong took it and looked at it, it was not like that at all, turned over the back, and there was no trace of a love letter, frowning in confusion, so she handed the information to Li Xueyin again, Li Xueyin reached out and took it, and then smiled.

"Hehe, do you regret pantothenic acid, I heard that this Zhang Zibu was driven away by you at the beginning."

"Of course I don't regret it, the Tao is not the same, Zhang Zibu is not a person who has been through the world, speaking of which, it is similar to Ji Jue, but Ji Jue's potential is better than him, Zhang Zibu is stubborn, and he will try his best to find the basis for what he recognizes, not the other way around, this kind of person is conservative and stubborn, and it is difficult to make great achievements."

"Not necessarily1 Li Xueyin shook her head with a smile, you must know that Zhang Zhao was one of the founders of the later Wu Kingdom. How can you say that there is no great talent, isn't this considered a great talent?

"I mean, if he's in our clouds. Basically, nothing will be done because the system is not compatible. ”

Li Xueyin was solemn! Looking sideways at Fang Zhiwen, the feeling in his heart was very complicated.

At this time, Fang Zhiwen turned around and said to Zhen Xiang who was standing behind him: "Go and find Fengxiao." ”

"No1

Fang Zhiwen quietly looked at Xiangxiang and Diao Chan, who were cheering and chasing snow foxes at the foot of the hillside, waiting for Zhen Xiang to catch Guo Jia, who was slowly looking for an excuse to accompany Wang Yun to drink from not far away.

After a while, Guo Jia, who was full of alcohol, appeared with a red face, but he looked very sober, this guy is indeed very good at drinking!

Fang Zhiwen took off the big sash on his body. put it on Guo Jia and said with a smile: "I feel hot when I drink, and I am susceptible to cold when the wind blows, Fengxiao, you don't even have this common sense, right?" ”

The lord called, forgetting for a moment 1 Guo Jia smiled with a slanderous face, and tightened the big on his body.

Taishi Zhaorong smiled and took out another spare piece of Dalu from the package, and gently put it on for her husband.

"There is an urgent letter from Hanoi. Look. ”

Fang Zhiwen handed Gongsun Zhan's letter for help to Guo Jia, Guo Jia rubbed his cheeks, took it and looked at it seriously.

"He's very calculating, and he wants us to help him block Yuan Shu. But there is no benefit at all, and this is not a thing, at least let him show sincerity1

Fang Zhiwen smiled, and the white mist on his lips was gently taken away by the north wind: "What sincerity?" Gongsun Chan is very poor now, and he can't wait to break a five-baht coin in half and spend it. Where is the benefit for us? ”

Guo Jia frowned: "Do you want us to help?" What's more, we don't have any indissoluble grievances with Yuan Shu. Speaking of which, isn't it just to imply that we Yuan Shu have ideas about the Yellow River channel, even if he really has any ideas, it is not us who jumps first, but Han Fucai, right? ”

"But Han Fu and Gongsun Chan are adjacent to each other, so he is very contradictory, he hopes that Yuan Shu can cross the river and fight Gongsun Chan to the death, but also worried that Yuan Shu will take the opportunity to make the navy bigger, Zhu Jun's ability to run the army is very strong, Han Fu is not worried, it's strange, but let him go to snuff out Yuan Shu's army, he refuses to do it."

"Lord, I always feel that there is something wrong with this, but now I can't see anything, what do you say is going on?"

Fang Zhiwen frowned, then shook his head and smiled: "I don't know, I'll naturally know when the time comes." ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It's still open-minded, that's right, as long as we are ready, we will naturally know when the time comes." ”

In fact, what Guo Jia wants to say, Fang Zhiwen probably has a vague concept in his heart, but things have not developed to that point, and it is not interesting to say anything now, the most important thing is that Fang Zhiwen has no desire to take the initiative to attack, or rather, Fang Zhiwen has a large number of territories behind him that are blank, why do you want to plot the territory of the Central Plains!

One is at your fingertips, and the other is a bloody battle, but there always seems to be a force in the dark that wants to pull him towards the Central Plains, and this is the core problem.

"So, how should Gongsun Zhan's request be answered?"

"The subordinates feel that they can just throw this directly to Ziyu, they can do whatever the navy wants, if Yuan Shu is really willing to cross the river, it has nothing to do with us, it is Gongsun Chan who is anxious, if Yuan Shu's navy is bigger, it is Han Fu who is anxious, it doesn't matter how we look at it, but take this opportunity to make it possible for the navy to do business to Yuan Shu's family."

Fang Zhiwen thought about it and grinned: "Okay, let's give Ziyu a headache in this matter." ”

In fact, Yuan Shu didn't need a ferry at all, because the Yellow River would freeze, and while the river was frozen, Yuan Shu's troops would be able to cross the Yellow River and attack Gongsun Zhan, but Yuan Shu was also hesitating now, at least Zhu Jun meant not to go to war.

Yuan Shu can be said to have been shrinking since the end of the discussion of Dong, and seeing that the surrounding princes are busy expanding, he will inevitably not have the idea of expansion, but he has more than enough heart and not enough strength.

The fact of contraction tells Yuan Shu that his current strength really can't manage so much territory, Henan Yin and Yingchuan, plus the northern part of Runan and the eastern part of Hongnong, these are all mature development areas, although they were destroyed by the war as early as possible, but as long as there are people, the resumption of production is very fast.

Under the strategic guidance of Yang Hong, Yuan Shu focused on concentrating the population to Henan Yin and Luoyang, and sure enough, Henan Yin and Luoyang were restored to the pre-war state in two years, with a slight surplus in addition to self-sufficiency, plus the war in Runan County was basically over, and the expenditure was greatly reduced.

However, this is really too slow, Yuan Shu watched the surrounding princes busy expanding, how could he not be in a hurry?

"Lord, blind expansion will eventually encounter the same consequences as some time ago, what's the use of taking it down and not being able to hold it, and then look at Yuan Benchu is the same, after laying down so much territory, it's not like you want to spit back most of it now, why bother? If we accumulate steadily, step by step, and every time we eat, we can turn this point into our strength, which is positive 1

Yang Hong's words were very slow, but very powerful, Yuan Shu just wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any reason, but he was still unhappy in his heart: "However, we can't let the princes around us increase their strength, let's look at Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong, who is now integrating forces, Huangfu Song is soft, Han Sui is recruited, seeing that if Dong Zhuo settles Yongzhou, he will have the strength to go out of Tongguan and annex the Central Plains, this official is in a hurry1."

"It's useless to be anxious, you can only eat one bite at a time, and the road can only be walked step by step, even if you are in a hurry, you can only choke yourself to death if you eat too quickly, I haven't heard that if you eat fast, your strength will be great, why should the lord think so much."

"Don't you want to, if Dong Zhuodong goes out of Tongguan tomorrow, we will bear the brunt of it1

"Then let's join forces to please Dong again, the lord doesn't have to worry about Dong Zhuo at all, in a few years, Dong Zhuo can't settle the Chang'an court and the Guanzhong clan."

"Then, that Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, and Cao Cao are getting stronger and stronger, aren't they also confidants1

"That's right, but they are not strong enough to destroy us in a war, as long as they can't do this, they must take care of the existence of other princes, and because of this, we should focus on improving our own strength, as the saying goes, persimmons should be picked and pinched softly, as long as we are hard, who will pinch us?"

"This"

"However, the lord's concerns are not completely unreasonable, so it is necessary to properly contain their development."

"How to contain it?"

"Without him, it's just a long-distance and close-range attack.1

"Out-of-range?" Yuan Shu groaned.

"That's right, long-range close attack! Unite with Han Fu to attack Gongsun Zhan, unite with Liu Dai to attack Lu Bu, and unite with Sun Jian and Tao Qian to attack Cao Cao"

"United Sun Jian? Impossible, this disloyal and unrighteous guy I can't wait to punish his nine clans, how can I unite? ”

"It's just a strategy, lord, if Sun Jian can fight Cao Cao to the death, then aren't we sitting on the profits! Nor is this equivalent to punishing Sun Jian?1

Yuan Shu frowned, thought about it, nodded and smiled: "That's right, then this matter will sit according to the method of Guangqi, distant friends and close attacks, in short, we can't let them be peaceful." ”

Yang Hong twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Obey the order, but we should also make some moves, while the Yellow River is frozen, the lord can let Zhu Jun get some strongholds along the river to attract Gongsun Zhan's troops, so that we can negotiate with Han Fu 1."

"What if Gongsun Chan called?" Yuan Shu suddenly thought of another possibility, and asked with some concern.

Yang Hong smiled, and he was helpless about Yuan Shu's swaying: "It's okay, it's better if they dare to fight, we will prevent them from attacking, and they will suffer, that is, if Han Fu and Zhang Liao give him a bite behind his back, it is estimated that Gongsun Chan will not be able to stand it." ”

"Good! Do you want Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to move too? ”

"The lord can't, it's really unwise to start a war on multiple fronts, as long as you maintain enough pressure in these two directions, let them beware of wasting troops day and night."

Yuan Shu stroked his beard and nodded: "It's okay, the persimmon should be pinched softly, the softest one is Gongsun Zhan, who will we pinch if we don't pinch him!" Haha"

"The Lord sees 1
