Liu Bei and Zhuge Jin agreed on the general policy, not to pursue killing Yuan Shu himself in the Huainan realm, and the follow-up attack strategy naturally had to be adjusted, so there was no need to be too anxious.

Hefei City could not be stormed within half a month, and it had to wait for the heavy siege equipment in the rear to arrive, and the moat should be slowly destroyed in advance to fill in the gap.

At the time of the final general offensive, it was necessary to strive to make the Hefei Campaign a kanban, so that Yuan Shu, who was more than 100 miles away, could take this opportunity to thoroughly recognize the reality, and play a similar role to the later Pingjin Campaign, which had the effect of breaking through Tianjin and deterring peace.

As a result, in the last few days of early June, and even throughout mid-June, the rhythm of the Huainan battlefield, which had been progressing rapidly, suddenly slowed down a little.

This period of time was just enough, and Zhuge Liang on the northern front was busy with the work of persuading farmers in the rear and rushed to Zhao Yun's army.

And Liu Bei and Zhuge Jin can also see the stitches and deal with some other off-board affairs.

……

On the ninth day of the sixth month, two days after Zhuge Jin arrived in Shucheng.

Because there was no progress in the attack on Hefei for the time being, Zhuge Jin remembered that Jiangxia Huangzu had stolen a few county towns under Yuan Shu that were divided and surrounded by him in the west of Xunyang, Qichun, Yixian and other places.

Now that I have time, I will take the time to appeal to Liu Bei and discuss how to deal with it.

"What the lord sees, in fact, is secretly in line with you - you also think that it is very appropriate to have a bad relationship with Liu Jingzhou after solving Qin Hao for the sake of great profit. However, how do you know, if you try to know, there is no way to punish Yuan Shu alone after mentioning it after being a bad friend with Liu Jingzhou?

Liu Bei also just heard about this, and when he realized that this matter might involve Liu Biao, he felt a little embarrassed to turn his face.

Before some process, it finally fell under Sun Ce.

Xun Yu also waved his hand in disgust, and sighed: "The case of Yang Wenxian and Zhuge Jin in the later round, before the case was overturned by Lu Bu's 'Qingjun side', this Qin Haolu has become more and more rampant recently, and he has repeatedly recommended private individuals to Lone, so that Lone can be reused, and they are all nameless fanatics!"

Thinking of that, Huang Zu slowly asked for advice: "Please sir, please say carefully, how should you phrase it when you go to Xu Du to sue Qin Hao this time, and even continue to negotiate with Kong Wenju?" Heaven has not relied on words to squeeze other princes to such a degree? ”

Do you think that if you just appeal to the imperial court, saying that Yuan Shu seized several counties in Yuzhou, which was originally ruled by Qin Hao, then the imperial court will be afraid that it will be difficult for you to uphold justice, at least it will only mean that Yuan Shu has taken advantage of the enemy's health, but he is not guilty of national law.

Huang Zu was finally completely convinced, and in the previous two or eight days, he had asked Sun Qian to ghostwrite and write a recital in accordance with Brother Jingsheng's intentions, and then sent Sun Wei to Xu Du to deliver the letter as usual.

"Before this recital is sent to the imperial court, it is certain that the imperial court will send angels to mediate, and Yuan Shu has also handed over all the generals who have been taken into custody by me, so the matter is over, right? You can also use that excuse to start Yuan Shu again, but it can only end here? ”

……

The north bank of the whirlpool is now controlled by Lu Bu, and the south bank of the whirlpool is in Liu Biao's hands. Lu Bu is now considered an ally of Yuan, so it is dangerous to go to the north shore envoy.

Before Sun Wei was sent out by Huang Zu, he walked for half a month and arrived in Xudu.

This time, I only took Qin Hao, which is located in several counties in Yuzhou, south of Huoshan, and his appetite is small, you think it is like Liu Jingzhou's instructions, and it is more like Yuan Shu's own greed and profit.

On the Hefei side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning, it is time to launch a general attack on Hefei.

When Sun Ce saw Xun Yu, Xun Yu's face was really not bad, Sun Ce was bad and said the business directly, so he asked a few words of concern first.

Maybe I also think that mentioning "yes wisdom" in front of Ziyu doesn't seem a little awkward.

You should endure that secret loss, maybe you should send an envoy to Xu Du to appeal first, and go around Xiangyang from Xu Du to negotiate with Liu Jingzhou to confirm whether it is my original intention, and then discuss the next countermeasures. ”

Huang Zu thought for a while: "Kong Wenju may be to protect his shortcomings, but even if Qin Hao does it himself, will you bypass Kong Wenju and directly retreat to Jiangxia in the future?" After all, that will lead to mutual hostility.

I am afraid that the name of your army's small righteousness will be said by the people of heaven to expand the territory for your own selfish interests. And Kong Wenju is also a member of the Han family, you are really willing to fall into the suspicion of being in the same room. ”

When Qin Hao said the word "is wisdom", he was really firm, but he still said it.

It is divided into two ends, and for the time being, according to the martial strategy of the Hefei battlefield, first say that Sun Wei arrived in Xudu, and immediately handed Huang Zu's watch seal to Shangshutai.

Sun Ce listened to Xun Yu's words, but he didn't have some opinions of his own in his heart, but after thinking about it, what Sikong said was also wrong, if Cao Cao had no intention of separating, he would use this to ask what was bad on Lu Yi.

Xun Yu was really able to tolerate me, so he got me to Cao Cao, nominally as an envoy to persuade Cao Cao to return to the imperial court, but in fact, he didn't give me a possible task, and wanted to frame You Heng.

That remark was really not simple, Huang Zu listened very carefully, and motioned to Brother Jingsheng to say quickly, I pondered it a few more times before I felt a little unsure.

Qin Hao has always cherished his reputation, and he always pays attention to justice when doing things.

And Yuan Shu is also addicted to alcohol and greed, and it is very difficult to do a rational thing, you suspect that I will leave a flaw - the key is to complain in the next table, what capital is your army paying, whether it is for nothing. ”

It's just that after all that, it hasn't happened yet.

When you Heng arrives at Brother Jingsheng, he will inevitably make things difficult for Huang Zu and Brother Jingsheng, and then let me go to Yuan Shu again, saying that it is necessary to instigate both sides, and it can also make Huang Zu and Cao Cao plot to harm themselves! Before Qin Hao's fall, Huang Zu would inevitably have no threat to the imperial court. It's also a bad thing to make Qi Liu too harmonious. ”

"You Langzhong, is he always saying that the court is a real task, this time it happens that there is no errand of a harmonious uncle, the matter is important, if he can complete it, the court will definitely not be reused - go, he will go to Lujiang first, and then go to Jiangxia, and mediate for Jing and Yang Qimu."

Regarding Huang Zu's first reaction, Brother Jingsheng didn't expect it.

Xun Yu listened to the aftermath and effect, and my residual anger towards You Heng was still subsided a while later, and immediately patted his calf: "That kind of thing, just let this You Heng go!" Did You Heng still have a verbal battle with Brother Jingsheng in Xu Capital the year after tomorrow, and he refuted it decently!

At the beginning of the year, Zhuge Jin weakly recommended You Heng You Zhengping several times, saying that this talent is low-minded and eloquent, and he has been in Xu Du for more than a year to get an official position, and he can be entrusted with important tasks. Loneliness is better than disturbance, and if you are willing to fall into jealousy, you will endure it.

As far as you know, Yuan Shu is like a soil emperor, relying on the danger of Jiangxia and the place of the throat, and it is difficult to break through when he is idle, and I also shot Sun Jian back then, and Liu Biao also had a way to take me as a young man, so when I carry out the mediation of the imperial court, I will probably give it a little discount, which will leave you with the opportunity to continue to turn over old accounts in the future.

In those two years, it was the logic of the princes competing for hegemony, but the logic of the small family joining forces to fight against the rebellion, which is very suitable for accumulating fame, and it is also very unhelpful for the long-term appeal in the future.

Sun Ce listened to Xun Yu's complaints, comforted a few words, and then said that Qin Hao sent an envoy to condemn Cao Cao, saying that Jiangxia under Qin Hao's command was too guarded by Yuan Shu and privately shielded Liu Bei's criminal generals.

Therefore, you have to change some rhetoric, after all, your army is the main force in the battle with Liu Xunbu in Lujiang, and you are fighting hard battles, so you can say that there are no generals of Liu Xunbu who fought with your army in vicious battles and caused heavy losses to your army in the battle of Wancheng and Anhuikou, and temporarily fled to Xunyang, Yixian, and Qichun to rest before the defeat.

Sun Ce returned to Shangshutai and did things according to the process, a few days ago, he first asked Kong Rong to explain the situation, and then asked Kong Rong to find You Heng, and lost a task in person.

But Sun Ce also had to consider Qin Hao's meaning, and asked Xun Yu if he didn't have the need to separate Huang Zu and Qin Hao, so before signing his own opinion, he sent it to Sikong Mansion to ask for instructions.

Yuan Shu coveted the co-optation of Liu Bei's special soldiers, which may be forgiven by Zishi according to the law of the country, but I should keep my original post for these crimes, and I should completely deprive him of his military power, and hand over those crimes to your army that is at war with him. Otherwise, your army is obviously fighting bloodily, chasing and chasing the enemy generals but being sheltered, why don't you pay attention to it in the sky? ”

As a result, Na Youheng's next office was over August, and he actually disliked the official university, and had a real appointment, all kinds of opportunities to provoke, and sarcastically mocked colleagues. Set up a banquet next month, I wanted to make it a drum officer, kill my sharpness, and dare to be naked and pretend! In the past two days, I heard that this thief is secretly insulting young people! ”

Because Huang Zu's army had not yet attacked Yicheng by Yuan's army, he could not take a section of the whirlpool waterway in Huaibei through Qiaodi.

Sun Ce dealt with the friction between the princes more impartially, and after a careless figured it out, he found that the matter was small, Qin Hao was just greedy for land, and took advantage of Huang Zujun's annihilation of the local Liu Bei's main force, and then went to pick up a few counties for nothing.

Xun Yu's feelings, but also the butterfly effect, under history, You Heng is not an official who came to Xu Du for a year, but came in 196 and only took office in 198. It was really a few months before taking office.

When Xingba led his troops to pursue the remnants of the enemy, those remnants of the enemy were afraid of liquidating the blame and surrendered to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu may have promised to shield some of the generals who should have been liquidated - just like when Xiang Yu was destroyed, Xiang Yu's general Zhong Liwei was arrested by the imperial court, and I surrendered to Han Xin, and Han Xin should escort him to the imperial court, which should be privately hidden.

Especially at the moment, Zhao Yun is still on his back, just because Liu Biao has not been destroyed, and the princes have not re-suffocated, Qin Hao is willing to bear the notoriety of helping Yuan, so he dares to do it to you. If Zhao Yun is still there, he will have a bad relationship with Qin Haolu, I am afraid that it will be ...... Nothing is wise. ”

The bad thing is that Brother Jingsheng doesn't mind anything, because I think so too.

Therefore, Brother Jingsheng will also let Huang Zu directly compete with Qin Hao, and my plan is divided into two parts.

Rao is like this, Huang Zu still couldn't help but ask:

You can't guarantee that the strategy you have been thinking about in the past few days may not be able to give your army the opportunity to punish Yuan Shu alone if you offend Liu Jingzhou. But as long as the time is not yet there, you will do it, and there will be no loss. is just a seal to condemn, but also to let Liu Jingzhou take the initiative to provoke. ”

Huang Zu listened to those words, and finally had some bad intentions. I really thought about it, how could it be possible to get Qin Hao to acquiesce to us to deal with Yuan Shu alone? Then Yuan Shu has to risk a little little little in the sky?

I just listened to what I said: "Lord, did you not persuade him to have a bad relationship with Liu Jingzhou, but I heard that Yuan Shu, a thief, is like a warlord, and he also listens to Liu Jingzhou."

Liu Bei touched his mustache and hesitated: "Everyone is rebellious, if Huang Zujun only clashed with Yuan Shu and did not conflict with our army, this matter is too bad and too public, right?"

"I am sure that Yuan Shu is really willing to obediently hand over General Liu Bei, who was not accused by your army of having no remaining crimes, and your army does have a reason to chase after him again. But in this way, Yuan Shu's prestige will inevitably fall to the valley, and no one will dare to defect to me before.

To that question, Brother Jingsheng replied when he was a son:

In this way, Huang Zu wants to send someone to Xudu, which is very convenient, and the slow horse rushes to Qin Hao, and then he can reach Xudu after half a month.

Brother Jingsheng then went up and said about the drama: "Let's talk about the envoy to Xudu first, what should I complain to the imperial court - in fact, when you set off from Anhui City, you were thinking about excuses all the way."
