'Profit' is the eternal pursuit. Even relatives and friends can't escape the shackles of interests.

Jiang Qi, Yuan Shao. My friend, I used to drink and talk and fight with each other, but what happens when there is a conflict of interest one day? Is it as superficial as the world, or as noble as a saint.

"Lord?? Did you really give the order to prepare for the army? In front of the gate of Jinyang City, seeing off Xu Yu with a sad face in his joy, Xun Yu asked with a smile.

"Does my uncle know my heart?" Xun Yu is a smart person, there is nothing to hide from him, and there is no need, Jiang Qi smiled and looked back at this think tank who was a few years older than him, but because his wife was a few generations older than him.

"At present, the state is newly decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, Yu can understand why the lord does not send troops, so Yu feels that it is a little strange that the lord promised Xu You to send troops. But now that I have agreed, but I don't move, I'm afraid that I will lose my trust in the world, and the gains outweigh the losses...... "In private, Jiang Qi has always called himself an elder, Xun Yu has long been used to it, of course, it is also a relationship between the layers, so he said without scruples.

"Dishonesty in the world?? Yes! If you break your word, I am afraid that I will not let go of the state government. But compared with loyal ministers who are loyal and righteous, but have their own hearts, the dishonesty is not intentional. Hearing Xun Yu's doubts, although Jiang Qi did not say it explicitly, he admitted in his words.

"Does the lord look down on the Kwantung Rebels? So it's been unresponsive? A sentence of loyalty, in order to expose too much resentment, Xun Yu keenly captured.

"Rebels?? Hahaha! A group of rabble, how can you become an army! Without denying the thoughts in his heart, Jiang Qi snorted coldly.

"The lord is too extreme, right? The rebel army of each county, although it is not a famous general, is also a righteous army, plus it has countless famous people, it must also have a certain combat effectiveness. As a strategist, Xun Yu can naturally see the weakness of the Kwantung Righteous Army, and he also agrees with Jiang Qi's proposal to build a joint army of the Righteous Army. However, for Jiang Qi's disdain, he still kindly reminded that he didn't want Jiang Qi to be empty-eyed.

"The power of the first battle, Qi does not deny, such as Sun Jian, who is now stationed in Luyang, is strict in governing the army and brave in his army, so he is not under the Jiang family's army, as long as it is used properly, he can attack Luoyang with his army. It's a pity that from Cao Cao's entire army to Wang Kuang. Qi only saw that the current rebel army, although it was nominally an allied army, was actually working separately and not helping each other. Even if it was Yuan Shao, he was sitting back and watching Wang Kuang weaken in order to achieve the goal of entrenching himself in Hanoi. But Xun Yu's euphemism Jiang Qi didn't see it in his eyes, and even complained bitterly about the reason.

"The lord means that Yuan Shao sent an envoy this time, and his purpose is not the so-called joint anti-Dong?" Hearing Jiang Qi's heartfelt words, Xun Yu understood a little, and then echoed.

"Yuan Shaoqi, although he is a corporal of courtesy and kindness, he is a very ambitious person. Moreover, it can be said that Dong Zhuo seized power today, and he still has a certain responsibility. I think that when Dong Zhuo came to the door to find me and plot the Luoyang regime, Qi repeatedly wanted to meet him, and wanted to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses to eradicate it in one fell swoop, but he Yuan Shao avoided it at all, I don't know if he was afraid that Qi's entry into the dynasty would threaten his status or something. What's more, now, Hanoi is newly defeated, and it is impossible for him to kindly let Qi send troops at this moment. In the face of his henchman Jiang Qi, there was nothing to hide, and he said what he thought.

"Yu understands what the lord means, the lord is afraid that Yuan Benchu will use the power of the lord as a shield, not only can he directly preserve his strength, but also deal with Dong Zhuo, and after the final defeat, it will be unfavorable to the state." The words were so clear, how could Xun Yu not see clearly, and immediately called it the Tao.

"I am a small state, and what Qi is worried about is what will happen to the world if he sends troops to fight Dong Zhuo at this moment! Uncle has thought about it, why do the princes of the world keep condemning Dong, but they don't move? It wasn't hard to talk to smart people, Jiang Qi then went deeper.

"Does the lord suspect that everyone is watching and preserving their strength in order to plot misdeeds?" Xun Yu replied clearly.

"At present, Emperor Ling restored the state pastoral system, so that the local state pastor could conduct military affairs, so as to doom the strength of the princes in various places to rise sharply and divide one side to become a foregone conclusion. Not to mention the Qi at the moment, even the imperial relatives such as Liu Yu in Youzhou, Liu Yan in Yizhou, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou also have their own hearts. If Dong Zhuo is defeated at this moment, does his uncle think that now Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao and others will return to power and the little emperor? That's just the second Dong Zhuo......" Jiang Qi completely expressed his concerns.

"I understand, why the main guild mentions the joint army, it turns out that the lord not only wants to unify the military order, but also wants to seize power with this, so that those who want to preserve their power will not retreat to the place and divide the army." Having said this, Xun Yu couldn't help but praise Jiang Qi's foresight.

"Dong Zhuo, Piffle, it's not impossible to get rid of it, but I'm afraid, after the war, all parts of the country will support their own troops, and there will be no possibility of peace for the Han Dynasty." Jiang Qi's jaw head confirmed Xun Yu's guess.

"But the lord promised Xu Yu's lobbying, is there a way to solve the current situation?" understood that Jiang Qi saw everything in his eyes and knew the situation well, but Xun Yu wondered why he agreed to send troops.

"Sending troops? Don't you understand how wise my uncle is? Xu You invited him with the righteousness of the world, how could Qi refuse casually, this is a yang scheme. However, Qi is not a good match, not to mention that it is impossible for Yuan Benchu to combine troops in one place, that is, the proposed 30,000 sets of blades, armor, and millions of arrows, Yuan Benchu will not give up. With these two points, Qizu has a reason to stand still. I'm afraid that Xu Yu went back and told the conditions, and Yuan Benchu didn't even ......dare to tell the world that Qi agreed to send troops" "Regarding Xun Yu's worries, Jiang Qi just smiled easily.

"It turns out that the lord is advancing by retreating, which is really a clever plan. And even if Yuan Benchu fulfilled the requirements, the lord would not lose money by sending troops, not only could he harvest the blades, but also prevented the possible secession of the Central Plains in one fell swoop. It turned out that Jiang Qi had calculated all the gains and losses, and Xun Yu, who had woken up, admired it again.

"The Central Plains War Qi doesn't want to participate, no matter what you gain or lose, it's all in the same room, so recently I asked my uncle to include the news of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang, Qi hopes to take advantage of the Central Plains chaos to recover the entire territory of the state as soon as possible." Xun Yu understood what his heart wanted, and Jiang Qi then reminded.

"Yu understands the meaning of the lord, but Yu suggests that the lord pay attention to Hanoi, and the affairs of Wuyuan and Yunzhong should not be rushed...... "Although Wuyuan and Yunzhong have been lost for a long time, they are the back door of the state, Jiang Qi's determination to recover Xun Yu agrees, not to mention the worries, even if the recovering of the lost land is such a glorious thing, no one will object. However, after glancing at Jiang Qi, Xun Yu suggested again.

"Qi understands that although most of these places are occupied by the defected Southern Huns, and they have become a climate since the death of Xu Bu, the Xianbei people who are eyeing them are a fierce rival...... "Xun Yu's talent, Jiang Qi has never doubted that the word attention will not be untargeted, and he understands with a smile that this is a reminder of his future development, but Jiang Qi didn't say much, just understand it in his heart.

"Xianbei! Since the defeat of the Xiongnu, there has been no relative enemy in the grassland, and for many years against our Han Koubian, several conquests have ended in defeat. I have heard that Emperor Ling was preparing to levy the Huns to fight Xianbei again when he was in power, and now I have five plains, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang as a cache, plus the remnants of the Southern Huns are separated, and they can't be relative for a while, and there is still time to prepare. "I have been governing in the state for many years, and Xun Yu knows all about the enemy and me around him, so he should echo the road.

"Uncle does he have a solution?" At this point, putting aside the matter of the Central Plains, Jiang Qi looked forward to the future.

"Xianbei is strong, from years of collecting intelligence, far better than the Xiongnu, the Xianbei clan has no opponent for decades, since the Northern Xiongnu was driven away by my Han, they took over the land, and their power has risen sharply. In that year, Emperor Ling sent Xia Yu, the captain of Karasuma, Tian Yan, the general of the Xianbei Zhonglang, and the general Zang Min of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, to lead the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, each leading more than 10,000 cavalry people, dividing the troops into three ways out of the border fortress, and penetrating into the land of Xianbei for more than 2,000 miles. In the end, he was defeated by the Xianbei leader Tanshi Huai, and even the runes and baggage were lost, and the escapees were only dozens of horses, which shows the power of Xianbei. Fortunately, the leader of Xianbei in the fourth year of Guanghe died of illness, and the son who succeeded to the throne and Lian was not capable, and he was greedy for money and lustful, and many people were very dissatisfied. Moreover, the Wuhuan people adjacent to it have always been dissatisfied with being suppressed by Xianbei, and the lord can take advantage of it. Realizing Jiang Qi's unkindness to foreign races, Xun Yu has been paying attention to side affairs, and replied without thinking too much.

"Razing is a great good. Qi will pay attention, of course, it is not something that can be done overnight, and after recovering the rest of the exiles in the state, he will make plans...... "Although it is only a rough calculation, Jiang Qi also agrees with Xun Yu, and immediately agrees.

"When is the lord going to launch an attack on the remnants of the Huns?" Hearing Jiang Qi mention the reconquest of lost territory again and again, Xun Yu had already realized the strategic direction of the next merger, and then asked.

"Don't worry, last year our department occupied half of Yanmen, our casualties are not large, it can also be seen that the combat strength of the Huns now, coupled with the snow disaster last year, this year's Huns will be more difficult, Qi has ordered people to block all the roads out of the congestion, and they will not be allowed to get a grain of grain in the Central Plains. After half a year, let the Huns in each county guide the disintegration of their will, and at the end of the year, when the training of my recruits is completed, they can ......be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Has the lord ever thought about what to do with the entire territory of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen after getting it, and what to do with the remnants of the Huns? Is it as far away as Uvro?? And the lord Kecheng thought that most of the Xiongnu in Wuyuan and other places defected with Xu Bu back then, and they could have a lot of grudges with my Jiang family's army, and they might not be able to live in peace with the Huns who settled in my Han now...... "Jiang Qi's hope is very ideal, but after savoring it, Xun Yu was not too happy, but poured a basin of cold water.

"Qi understands what my uncle means, at the moment, I don't have to worry about the border defense except for Shuofang, but after defeating the Huns, these places will have to send a large number of troops, and many of these places are sparsely populated, and there have been no Han people for many years, and they are like chicken ribs, and it can be said to be a burden, plus our army has just recovered many places and has not yet digested them, so it is useless to expand them." Xun Yu reminded Jiang Qi that he understood that it was even more thorough, and he said.

"Yes, the most serious problem in my state at the moment is as the lord said, 'lack of people', that day I heard the Yuan Chang said, the population registered in Taiyuan is really not ideal, even if there is an influx of displaced people in Jinyang, but there are less than 20,000 households in one county and sixteen cities...... Together with the number of displaced people, there are less than 200,000. 200,000 people, I'm afraid there are more than this number from Shiyi City. Fortunately, Jiang Qi saw the biggest problem at the moment, and Xun Yu was relieved.

"At present, I have a population of less than 3 million people, but the army is even 1 out of 10, this danger of reckless military force, Qi Province, even to encourage childbirth, but it is impossible to get the effect overnight. Oh!! Qi understood what his uncle meant by paying attention to Hanoi, the land of the three rivers has always been the center of my Han Dynasty, it is not easy to obtain the Niu Fu army in the east of the river, and it is not easy to attract people to come from Henan, only Hanoi is connected to Hebei, Hebei, and Yan, if it is controlled, all problems can be easily solved. "In the past, there were only two places in Xihe and Sufang, coupled with natural disasters every year, and the people who couldn't eat their stomachs continued to pour in without Jiang Qi's order and guidance, and he didn't worry about any population and soldiers at all, but now that the territory is wide, he realized the seriousness of the matter. At this moment, when it came to fighting again, Xun Yu reminded Jiang Qi that he realized that he was too idealistic.

"However, Hanoi is not easy to obtain, and Yuan Benchu will not give up on the side of the couch......" Seeing that Jiang Qi understood his suggestion, Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang are also ambitious people, they won't watch Yuan Shao become big, although they are an alliance now, who knows when the day will come. In addition, the remnants of the White Wave Thieves and Yuvro in Hedong will definitely lean towards Hanoi after being threatened by Niu Fu, and that is an opportunity...... Well, the hour is not early, my uncle remembered that today's dinner party arrived early, and Qi went to find Brother Yuan Chang to see the matter of Tuntian, and he was one step ahead......"

"Hahaha...... Guang'er's full moon, how could Yu be late, and come to the meeting after dealing with the matter in hand......"
