"Zhicai, you first come and tell you about the situation in the north, it seems that you must also come up with a charter, otherwise our majesty will be a little unable to wait. However, that mention yì is indeed a bit interesting. ”

"Yes, my lord." Xi Zhicai has a cold face no matter who he is, even Xun Yu, who once recommended him, it is rare to see many sunny faces from him - of course, this is after Xi Zhicai became the strategist that Cao Cao relied on.

"Between Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Bogui, they were originally evenly matched, and Yuan Benchu had a slight upper hand. However, since the Karasuma people accepted the Shan Yu Golden Seal privately from Yuan Shao, and at the same time, a large number of Xianbei Yicong joined his command, which greatly increased his strength. And Gongsun Bogui killed Youzhou Mu Liu Bo'an, Liu Bo'an's old department Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others publicly recommended Liu Bo'an's son Liu He as the assassin of the history, and Yuan Benchu joined forces, and the officials under Gongsun Bogui mostly betrayed Gongsun and voted for Liu He or Yuan's family, which greatly reduced the strength of Gongsun's side.

Nowadays, Gongsun Bogui is in the deep ditch and high wall by the Yishui, and the soldiers and horses loyal to him are scattered around, although Yuan Benchu organized troops to attack several times, but because the Gongsun army has abundant food and grass and only defends and does not attack, it cannot achieve much effect.

Therefore, now Yuan Benchu's strategy against Gongsun Bogui is to surround but not fight, he himself has returned to Xindu, presided over the work of Hebei, Qing, Youyou and other places, and handed over the war in the north to the third son Yuan Shang Yuan Shang Yuan Xianfu and the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, as well as the marching staff officers Feng Ji Feng Yuantu, Su You and Xun Rui are in charge, it is worth mentioning that it is said that Yuan Benchu's son Yuan Fang is also in the army. ”

"Well, the general thing is heard. Now his family can talk about their thoughts. ”

"My lord, why do you want to pardon Gongsun Zhan, what kind of calculations are they making, and whether it is beneficial to us. Ren thinks that if these two issues are not clear, no matter how much we discuss them, we should not get the most favorable outcome. ”

"Zixiao is right, it is really the right thing to temporarily recall you from Xuzhou, come, who will solve Zixiao's doubts?"

"Then let me Dong Zhao try to talk about it."

Dong Zhao has recently had a hot fight with a group of Cao Xiahou who came out of Zhu County, although he does not have a too close relationship with Cao Ren, who is faintly the leader of Zhu Cao Xiahou and others, but at this time he still took the initiative to stand up. He also bowed respectfully to Cao Ren.

"Gongsun Chan is trapped in Yi Jing. Although the grain and grass are sufficient for three years, it is difficult to maintain morale after all. As long as Yuan Xianfu was not eager to fight because of his youth, he would be able to defeat Gongsun Chan within two years by virtue of his advantages in all aspects.

Now that Gongsun Zhan's defeat is a foregone conclusion. So what needs to be done now. It is how to bring down Gongsun Chan in a way that is welcome to us. And this is probably the basis of the idea of the people of Bingzhou. From this, a qiē becomes easy to explain. ”

There is a pause. It seems to be organizing language, and it seems that it is just giving everyone a space to accept, Dong Zhaocai continued:

"If Gongsun Chan is trapped in Yi Jing like this, then the situation will continue to develop according to the current situation. Then Zhao believes that Yuan Shao can have enough time to integrate Ji and Qingzhou, even the western part of Youzhou should not be a problem, and maybe even for Yuan Shao, there is still room for him, let him look further and do something that makes other princes less happy. ”

Although it did not point out which princes would be unhappy, basically everyone attending the meeting thought that it should be Cao Cao, after all, the great rivers and mountains of Xuzhou Yuan Shao remembered very much, compared to the Sizhou in the west may also be rich, but Li Shushi has been operating there for a long time, and in general, it has either been included in the system of the state army, or it is dilapidated and not worth Yuan Shao's action. Only Ye County may be able to easily infiltrate Yuan Shao, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Shushi has been letting Xiao Qiang stare at the name of Wei County's Taishou and let the trial manage Ye County, in fact, he is using Wei County as a bait to tease Yuan Shao's nerves.

Unless Yuan Shao has the certainty of breaking free from the fishing line, he will definitely not bite the hook and put himself in danger.

"But what if there is no Gongsun Zan who guards Yijing? Even if it will become a rogue who will give Yuan Shao a headache. But compared to Gongsun Zhan, who is a general, in Yuan Shao's heart, it is just a disease of scabies, and he can rest assured that he can boldly unify the country and accumulate strength. ”

"How does it sound, this is more beneficial to Yuan Shao's kid." Xiahoudun was a little confused.

"General Yuanrang's words are not unreasonable. It's just that Akira believes that the state will not simply give its biggest competitor a longer breather than before. So after thinking about it carefully, Zhao had a very bold idea that he didn't know whether to say or not. ”

Noticing that everyone's eyes were full of inquiry, Dong Zhao immediately felt a little proud, after all, he was a newcomer, and he had defected from Yuan Shao's side, if he couldn't be different, how could he win over those old courtiers.

"It seems that the move of merging the states will inevitably give Yuan Shao more opportunities to integrate Hebei and Qingdao, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely different. Zhao came from Jizhou, and he always knew that Yuan Shao's local forces and foreign forces had been fighting for a long time, and neither of them could subdue anyone, and Yuan Shao was also vacillating between the two. He is fashionable and has the great enemy Gongsun Chan by his side, even if he is at the end of the road, but as long as Gongsun does not forget it for a day, then this henchman will not dare to say anything about it, even if there is more dirt between the two sides in private, they will sincerely cooperate on the surface to resist the enemy. But if Gongsun Chan escapes and becomes a wanderer, then even if Gongsun does not die, there is no chance of a comeback, then although Yuan Benchu seems to have gained more breathing space, it will also make the original accumulated contradictions explode instantly, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will have a headache at that time~

This is one of them.

The second is slightly the same. At the beginning, because they were afraid of Gongsun's strength, Xianbei and Karasuma were willing to listen to Yuan Shao's seal and work together. But even so, the nature of the alien jackal has not changed, and it has repeatedly invaded the state and county, which not only made many Youzhou families who originally took refuge in Yuan Shao become swaying again because of the damage to the family, but also because Yi Jing is at the junction of Youji. Every time there is a big war, the root land of Yuan Shao in Jizhou is also frequently harassed by foreign races. For the sake of the great enemy Gongsun, the two sides can still tolerate each other, if there is no such enemy, Yuan Shao is partial to the other race? Is it strong to favor the family under his command? It is difficult for the alien race and Yuan Shao to get along harmoniously.

With these two points, it can be concluded that Yuan Benchu could not sit quietly and deal with things no matter what. ”

Well, Dong Zhao's current appearance is somewhat bad, in fact, other people are not much better than him, especially Cao Cao. As long as I think of my good friend, as long as I face the constipation of the kind of person who needs to make a difficult choice. He felt refreshed, and this time he was afraid that Yuan Shao would not only have to make that very difficult choice once, but also many times, many, many times. In other words, Yuan Shao will not be annoyed to death by his choice phobia.

Hafnium clams. Sure enough, I feel more relaxed. In other words, just to be able to YY, I also want to support Li Shushi's mentions.

And should I say that it really deserves to be a bastard like Li Shushi, such an idea is really ...... It's too much for Lao Cao's appetite~

I have to say, just look at the joyful atmosphere in the room now. It is known that the relationship between Cao Cao's forces and Yuan Shao's forces is no longer the close relationship they once had, and the two sides have regarded each other as enemies that need to be eliminated on their way forward.

This may be the cruelty of politics, if you want to achieve your goals, sometimes your conscience or something has to be put aside.

However, in this "ocean" of joy, there are a few people who don't seem to be very happy.

Originally, it was said that it was just a few people, and it couldn't affect everyone's feelings, but one of these people was called Xun Yu, one was called Xi Zhicai, and the other was Puyang Ling, who was also the future Xu Ling's full favor Man Boning.

If everyone is used to not laughing at Xi Zhicai, it is understandable that the same character does not laugh because of his strong point, but Xun Yu, a handsome pot who has always shown himself as a humble gentleman on weekdays, has a dignified face at this time, then Cao Cao can't help but regain his serious appearance, and then project an image of humbly seeking advice to Xun Yu.

Of course, Dong Zhao on the side almost bit his handkerchief and burst into tears at this time.

Okay, he Dong Gongren talked over there for a long time, but in terms of effect, it was not as good as Xun Wenruo's cold face.

Sure enough, the road is long, and I, Dong Gongren, still have to go up and down to seek.

Yu thought that what Gongren said just now was extremely true, and Yi Yu was the scene he saw under Yuan Shao, and the general development should be like this. But has the lord ever thought that the plan of merging the state is really so simple? Could it be that the merger of states is just to give Yuan Shao a headache? ”

Honest people generally don't get angry, but once they get angry, it's definitely a reversal of the sky. In the same way, Xun Yu is generally not angry, especially with a frosty expression like now, but when he shows such an expression, everyone is going to tremble, even Cao Cao, he immediately adjusted his thinking and took the initiative to start thinking with Xun Yu's thinking.

And then...... Cao Cao's face suddenly changed drastically, and even Dong Zhao, who was not very willing, showed a look of annoyance.

Why?

"Since Yuan Shao once used Gongsun as an enemy and resolved the internal disputes and the greed of the outsiders, then since Yuan Shao couldn't calm down and solve these disputes after the great enemy of Gongsun was gone, why didn't he set up a great enemy for these people that they had to work together to deal with?"

Yes, when the internal contradictions are irreconcilable, if you want to ensure that the internal contradictions do not erupt, the only means is to divert the internal contradictions to the outside world. At this point, the steppe people are the best at it - once they can't reach an agreement because of the distribution of internal resources, there are only two ways to solve it, one is to fight a battle to resolve the contradictions, so that the contradictions disappear fundamentally. The other is to plunder southward, and as long as enough supplies are looted, the original contradictions will be reconciled, or at least temporarily shelved, until the next contradiction re-accumulates to a certain weight.

Although it seems that the latter method is a symptom but not a cure, although the former method has the ability to cure the root cause, it will hurt itself, after all, two tigers compete for one death and one injury, although the dead one will give up a lot of benefits, but the injured one can really swallow all these benefits into the stomach? Don't forget that there are more than two tigers on this mountain, and there is a group of hungry wolves watching the tigers. It's just that the deterrence of the two tigers is too strong on weekdays, so they don't dare to start.

The tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, not to mention a group of hungry wolves, so the result of the two tigers fighting is often the profit of the fisherman.

Since it is possible to completely eradicate internal contradictions, and there is a great possibility of survival for internal contradictions among experts, even those in power with far-sighted vision often choose the latter after careful consideration. Perhaps the only difference is that those who have a long-term strategy can slowly resolve the internal contradictions while leading the troubles to the east, and those who are not smart enough ...... It's not really clever how to do it.

"We have now suddenly gained the land of the three states, but the internal unity is far from being comparable to Yuan Shao. Similarly, it will be difficult for the state army to absorb the newly acquired areas in the short term. This was another great temptation for Yuan Shao, making him forget about the risks he might encounter, so he went all out to the south. After all, as long as he takes us, he will have the capital to compete with the state army. Or rather, only to take us. Only then can he really get the chance to win the world. After all, even if you don't compete with the state for the time being. Yuan Shao's maneuver space is also huge, and even at that time, Yuan Shao can have plenty of space and time to solve internal problems. ”

"So what's the benefit of doing so for the state army?"

"We want to fend off Yuan Shao's attack alone, to be honest. Hard. Then there are only two ways left in front of us, one is to surrender Yuan Shao, and with the relationship between the lord and Yuan Shao, he should still be able to get the position of a county. And we, if we do a good job, maybe in more than ten years, we may be able to become officials at the state and county level and enjoy the treatment of 2,000 stones. ”

"The other way is to unite and merge with the state army...... Even if he doesn't look in the mirror, Cao Cao knows that his face is very dark now.

"Yes, although the state is also unable to digest the new territories, but with the merger and the two rivers region that they have been operating for many years, even if they have not been integrated, they still have the strength to deal with most emergencies. It's just that if we unite and merge states, even if we can defeat Yuan Shao in the end, and at the same time, the merger state army will not take the opportunity to annex us, but we will definitely not be able to prevent the state army from forming a situation where the tail is too big to fall. How to deal with it when the time comes, we also need to think carefully.

However, this is only from our point of view. If we add the influence of His Majesty, I am afraid that we can only choose the path of alliance with the state. With His Majesty's attitude, I am afraid that no matter what, I will not tolerate the Yuan family becoming bigger. ”

"But Wen Ruo, do you really think that the state army will not take the opportunity to annex us, don't you think this idea is really a bit naïve?"

“…… I ......" wanted to explain, but couldn't say a word at all, Xun Yu's face couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile.

"I know that he wasn't like that in the beginning. But when he saw that the position was so close to him, he changed, and even I couldn't believe that he was the same person as he was before. By the same token, I don't believe that in the face of such an opportunity, anyone would be able to suppress the greed in their hearts. Or even if the one in the state is the reincarnation of a saint, what do you think of his subordinates? Can you really resist that temptation? Just say you, Xun Wenruo, can you do it? ”

“…… Then, according to the lord, you can't guarantee that you will not be swayed by that temptation in the future. ”

"As much as I would love to shout my absolute devotion to His Majesty, even I feel that it is only a rhetoric that I would have spoken when I was young."

"But aside, the states will find a way to achieve their goals. Even without their participation, do you think that with our strength, we have the ability to complete the integration of the rule earlier than Yuan Shao? Now the most unfavorable time, in fact, is still us. ”

"If you still have something to say, say it, no matter how difficult it is to accept, it doesn't matter, if there is a problem, it must be exposed, it is better to expose it earlier than to have a problem at a critical moment in the future, anyway, no matter how big the problem is, can it be compared to the previous time?"

"In fact, if we think about it in a different way, this matter has become a very beneficial help for us."

"What do you mean by that?"

"If Yuan Shao's main target is not us, but the merger of states, there will be casualties in the fight between the two tigers, and we will gain the most precious and the most lacking time for development."

"It's not stupid at the beginning, don't let go of the good Central Plains, you have to go to the state to fight hard. Even if he wanted to fight with Li Shushi at the beginning, Xu Ziyuan, Tian Yuanhao, and Feng Yuantu blocked it together. Ben will definitely calm down. ”

"Although Yuan Shao can calm down, what if the situation forces him to have to fight with the state? What about him? ”

"If that situation really happens, even though I know that it will be a hard fight, I really won't back down at the beginning, maybe I'll do my best, although I've been sitting on it for a long time, but I think that the temper that doesn't admit defeat should not be lost."

"In fact, the second meaning of wanting to pardon Gongsun this time is a great opportunity that we can take advantage of!"

"Huh? The second meaning, wait, if that's really the idea of merging states...... But I always think it's a little unlikely. ”

"You may not know much about this. So I'm afraid that I need to work hard. ”

As for whether the drama can be thought of with Xun Yu, this kind of question can be solved. Xun Yu would not consider it, he believed in the ability of this friend he recommended to Cao Cao, and after years of ups and downs, his vision even surpassed that of Guo Fengxiao at the beginning.

But before Xi Zhi spoke. But he first took out a small bamboo tube from his arms. Three black pills about the size of a grain of wheat were poured out of a small bamboo tube. Drinking water and swallowing it, he wiped his mouth and prepared to speak.

For Xi Zhicai's behavior, everyone is used to it. Since the Bingzhou army left Puyang, Xi Zhicai has developed such a habit, and he can't move every day, no matter how hard the work is, or where he is, he will remember to take medicine on time to ensure that he will not be cute, oh no, he is panting and coughing, and he looks like he is about to die.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao felt that he would have the opportunity to ask the "miracle doctor" to take a look at his head stroke in the future.

It's just that people have cured their important advisers with their front feet, and they have to calculate others with their back feet and think about it...... It's really nothing.

I didn't see that Cao Zixiao and Li Shushi were also chatting and unhappy when they were together, and in the end, they still tried their best to make plans for Cao Caojun's future, although this cannot be said to be a kind of professional ethics, but it can also be regarded as a rather elegant spirit.

Well, with the black-skinned dwarf's heart, which has long been blackened, it is estimated that he will never think that there is anything wrong with this behavior.

"I believe you have noticed the recent changes in my body, if you and your relatives also have incurable diseases that are difficult to cure, or you are sick and weak, you can go to Bingzhou to seek medical treatment, the price is fair and reasonable, and the effect is guaranteed to be satisfactory. I heard that they will also launch a 98% discount in the near future, the opportunity is rare, if you want to buy as soon as possible, you can also free shipping...... Well, it should mean that everyone should hurry up and merge the state. Anyway, that's the advertising slogan I got, although I don't understand the free shipping, maybe it means that their post station also has some other businesses. ”

"Poof...... by a certain black-skinned dwarf.

"Puff ......" by a certain lingering incense Xun Ling.

"Poof...... by a certain battlefield ghost.

"Puff ......" by other innocent onlookers present.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly put on a water spray show? Lord, I definitely didn't get distracted just now, so there is no need to wake me up in this way, I heard it just now, Mr. Zhicai should take medicine. ”

"Puff ......" by Xiahoudun, who had a face of "I'm innocent", said a heart-piercing drama Zhicai.

Because of this sudden change, this originally extremely strict meeting finally became the Songkran Festival of the Dai people in Yunnan, anyway, everyone's body was more or less stained with some water stains, and they all looked very wolf-bèi.

Know, this group of guys is out to show their indignation at a sudden product placement with a nozzle cannon. If you don't know, you think these guys are playing some kind of × game in a secret room run exclusively by a black-skinned dwarf.

Anyway, in terms of the × fetish of a certain black-skinned dwarf, it is not taboo for meat and fish, raw and cold, and his appetite has always been very good.

As for the content of the meeting...... Anyway, it's not a day or two, so let's go home first and calm down.

Only Xia Hou Du, who didn't know when he started to wander outside the world again, oh no, it was Xia Hou Dun.

Pan Sen: The Year of the Goat is coming, let's give you an early New Year to all the book friends who support us, and wish you all good luck in the Year of the Goat, good health, everything goes well, and good people have good rewards~

Pan Sen 2: Tomorrow will start the New Year, it looks like there should be no accidents this time, six more yo~ (to be continued......)
