"Let me send troops to help him, promise Bohai County to me, and the four counties can give it first, what do you think?"

"I think this Yuan Shao has a ghost in his heart, he may be trying to use me, this Bohai doesn't seem to be so easy to get." Sun Ming held his forehead, and the drunkenness made him a little uncomfortable.

Sima Tong lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "Yuan Shao, this is using the prestige and strength of the lord to deter the Yuan family, especially that Yuan Shu. ”

"This Yuan Shao is amazing, he is willing to lose a county and pull the lord into troubled waters, in the next opinion, this matter is feasible, it would be a pity for him Yuan Shaobai to send a county away."

Sima Tong's answer was also in line with Sun Ming's meaning, and he nodded and motioned for Sima Tong to continue.

"We can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in Bohai County, so once Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu and other forces have a flaw, we will take the opportunity to march into the army to seize the territory."

"He Yuan Shao wants to take advantage of the lord, then we will eat him in turn."

Sun Ming felt that it was reasonable, and on this kind of scheming issue, Sima Tong could always give the most practical and correct opinion.

He then asked, "But now that the interior of Youzhou has not been recovered, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi and even further Liaodong are unstable in the rear, and I am afraid that something will happen." ”

Sima Passage "Yes, but my personal suggestion should still be based on Jizhou, which is a rich land, and Liaoxi and Liaodong cannot be compared, once the situation in Jizhou is stable, we want to enter again, it will be difficult for a long time." ”

"Yes, one seeks stability, the other seeks development, pass on the order, we will return to Fuyang tomorrow, and then negotiate." Sun Ming couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only leave for Fuyang as soon as possible.

At noon the next day, Sun Ming and the others rushed back to Fuyang lightly, and when they arrived at the place two days later, Sun Ming first learned about the specific situation of defeating Gongsun Zhan.

Then the celebration banquet was opened, Tian Yu was the first meritorious, and he was named the Taishou of Shanggu, Huo even was the chief of Shanggu and the order of Fuyang County, and the rest of them were rewarded.

After the celebration banquet, Sun Ming found Yu Li, Sima Tong, Huo Puppet and other strategists in his house to discuss the biggest problem now, and Sun Ming first told him about the situation in Jizhou.

"Strategist, what do you think of Yuan Shao's current situation?"

Yu Li pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "The alliance that Yuan Shao said, I also think that the lord can agree first, and it is better to add an ally to his back than an enemy." ”

"Shanggu Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei don't have to worry, they are now taking care of dog-eat-dog, and they don't have the strength to compete with us at all."

"But Li thinks that our center should still be placed in Youzhou, as the saying goes, you must first settle inside, and now Youzhou is our territory, and it should be dealt with first."

Sun Ming smiled and said, "Desen means that if you get Bohai in your hands, you won't care about Yuan Shao, and then we will go back and clean up the interior of Youzhou?" ”

Yu Li nodded his head and continued, "Our strength is not enough now, and now we are a little greedy and can't chew it when we get involved in Jizhou, so Yuan Shao wants to use us, and vice versa." ”

"We have less than 40,000 troops now, if we pour out our pockets, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du will attack our back at the same time, it will still be a bit troublesome, maybe we will have to leave some troops to cooperate with the local garrison."

"Of course, the choice is in your hands, and I will just list a few situations for you."

Sun Ming thought about it and put forward his own hypothesis: "If we only recover Yuyang, Liaoxi, regardless of Liaodong, Lelang and other places, anyway, Gongsun Du doesn't seem to have any movement to come out, so we just don't care about him." ”

"It's useless to get your hands on the bitter cold land of Liaodong, what do you think?"

Yu Li nodded and said, "Lord, you also know, we had no conflict of interest with Gongsun Du before, and if we join his own character, we can naturally leave him alone." ”

"But now it's different, you are now the assassin of Youzhou canonized by the imperial court, in other words, Gongsun Du is now the illegal control."

At this time, Sima Tong stood up and said, "Everyone understands this truth, his Gongsun Du wants to ensure his own status, and the lord can automatically recognize his status and give Liaodong and Lelang to Gongsun Du." ”

"Tong is still in favor of plotting Jizhou now, time is not waiting, and it will be gone after that."

Sun Ming pondered for a moment, "What you both said makes sense, Desen is starting from the overall situation, Yada is more willing to seize the fighter, you all want to go back, let me think about it." ”

Three days later, Yuan Shao's 'abdication letter' from the imperial court had been rushed to the hands of Sun Ming, who was alone on the wooden recliner, holding this recital in his hand and playing with it, and muttered to himself, "Li Meng, what do you think of the current situation." ”

Han Da who was asked first asked hesitantly, "Boss, are you asking me?" ”

"Hehe, yes, what do you think."

"I don't have any ideas, the owner will beat whoever he wants." Sun Ming flickered his head and then asked, "Then do you say it's better to shrink or attack?" ”

"Of course, it's better to attack, it's better to beat others than others."

Sun Ming slapped his thigh and sat up from the recliner, "Just like I thought, I chose to attack Jizhou." ”

Li Meng saw that his opinion was adopted in this way, and he was a little panicked anyway, "Boss, should we ask the military advisor again, I just said it casually." ”

Sun Ming sighed and patted Li Meng's arm, "Teasing you, I have a law in my heart, you let the military advisors call them over, I have something big to announce." ”

As soon as Li Meng heard that there was a big war to be fought, his mood suddenly rose again.

After a short time, several of them gathered in the main hall of Sun Ming's mansion again, this time including Tian Yu, Liu Cheng, Wu Fang, Zhang, Zhao and others.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, time is not waiting for me, Yuan Shao is such a big gift, wouldn't it be unkind if I don't accept it, the man doesn't show his ambitions, and he is born with a seven-foot body."

"This time we will focus on Jizhou, although this matter is a bit risky, but it is worth the risk, I think we sent troops from Zhuoxian County, which time was not to find a way out on the tip of the knife."

"Now that we have some capital, the talent and strength are far better than at the beginning, and we dare not cower and stop moving.

After speaking, looking at everyone, the generals stood up together and shouted, "I will follow the owner to the death." ”

Sun Ming nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, the generals will listen to my orders." ”

"Ordered Tian Yu and Huo Dou to lead all the internal affairs of Shanggu, and Guan Yu led 4,000 people to garrison Fuyang to take charge of military affairs to prevent Gongsun Chan and others from resurrecting."

"Yun Chang, I am extremely relieved, with you, then Gongsun Zhan will not dare to take another step out of Yanshan."

A few people got up to receive the order, and then sat down.

"Desen, you are the Taishou of Zhuo County, sit in Zhuo County, keep an eye on the remnants of Liu Yu Yuyang, and be careful of Gongsun Du in Liaoxi, although I really want to fight side by side with you again, but at this time, you are more needed in Youzhou."

Yu Li got up and promised.

"Zijin and Yide are the vanguard, Zilong is the flank, and Jiande is the logistics driver, I am the Yada account of the Chinese army, and the whole army of 36,000 people will go back to Zhuo County first."

A few of the people who were named also got up to receive the order, and each of them dispersed to make preparations.

Liu Cheng's other driver belongs to the private division of the assassin history, belongs to the private bureaucracy, and is not included in the roster of Han officials, which means that he belongs to Sun Ming's 'private official'.

At this time, there were already many such self-appointed or private officials in the late Han Dynasty, which also meant that the power of those in power everywhere was increasing.
