"Big brother, although Koji Yi is rebellious, he is also affectionate."

"And the soldiers he trained are all brave men who are not afraid of death, if they can follow to conquer Dong Zhuo, they will definitely be able to terrify the Xiliang army."

Since the departure of the military camp of Koji Yi, Guan Yu has given Koji a very high evaluation.

Guan Yu is good at martial arts, after studying the military book given by Zheng Ping and accepting Lu Zhi's one-on-one teaching, whether it is training troops or commanding troops, he has reached a very high level.

Now he is even more praised for his military training methods, which makes Liu Bei surprised and more happy at the same time.

"With the addition of Captain Koji, it will be more secure for Lu Shi to go to Dong."

Liu Bei couldn't stop Lu Zhi from asking Dong, and it was difficult to follow Lu Zhi to take care of him.

Only by finding more elite soldiers for Lu Zhi can Lu Zhi have more chances of winning.

Marching and fighting does not mean that whoever is more handsome will definitely win.

Elite soldiers, money and food guarantees, righteous troops, and reinforcements from all walks of life are the first to compare manpower and material resources, and then strategy.

More than 1,000 brave cavalry recruited from Zhuo County, 500 elite cavalry borrowed from Gongsun Zhan, 3,000 Danyang soldiers borrowed from Tao Qian, 800 Xiandeng soldiers from Liyi, Zhao Yun and his elite under Changshan who may lead troops to come, and Guan Yu and Tian Yu who cooperated with Lu Zhi to enter the army.

Such a lineup is already the strongest lineup that Liu Bei can make up for Lu Zhi at present.

Although almost all of these soldiers are not local soldiers in Qingzhou, and this grain is not the food provided by Qingzhou, no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of a white wolf with empty gloves, but it is also Liu Bei's ability to get thousands of elite soldiers and 100,000 stone grains and grass.

Han Fu did not refuse Liu Bei's proposal, and immediately agreed to let Lu Yi follow Lu Zhi to discuss Dong.

After all, if you can gain fame and don't have to worry about how to settle Kojiyi, Han Fu will not refuse to accept this kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Outside Yecheng.

Liu Bei and Lu Zhi rode their horses.

"The journey to the west is extremely difficult and dangerous, and I ask Master Lu to be cautious." Liu Bei is sincere.

Without Lu Zhi, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to be elected as the Thorn of Qingzhou.

Lu Zhi nodded: "Xuande, the matter of the Western Expedition, it is enough to have an old man, Qingzhou seems to have entered the formality, but it is still a serious internal trouble, so you must not be careless." ”

Zheng Ping walked with Guan Yu and instructed: "Yun Chang, although I asked Hua Zicheng to go to Chang'an to show the merits of the envoy, but Dong Zhuo's chaotic government may not take the envoy's performance seriously. ”

"This time, you go to Chang'an with Lu Shi, in addition to following Lu Shi to conquer Dong Zhuo, the most important thing is to let the envoy have a formal edict!"

Guan Yu was awe-inspiring: "What does Mr. want Guan to do?" ”

Zheng Ping said in a condensed voice: "If you make a noise, Dong Zhuo will be jealous of you and have to take a soft strategy!" ”

"If the western expedition goes well, Dong Zhuo will inevitably send someone to see Yun Chang and promise benefits."

"And Yun Chang has to insist on two: first, the edict to make the king the Qingzhou pastor! Second, let Zong Zhengqing determine the genealogy of the clan and proclaim the name of the clan of the Jun Han family. ”

"These are the only two things that must be obtained!"

"For the rest of the promises, the cloud chief can see the opportunity to act."

Guan Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Sir, what if Dong Zhuo asks Guan to withdraw from the army?" ”

Zheng Ping sneered: "Whether it is the edict to make the king the pastor of Qingzhou, or the edict to make the name of the clan of the Jun Han family, it is the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, what does it have to do with Dong Zhuo?" ”

"Before the edict, if the soldiers do not move, they will not be subject to the foreign military orders; When the edict is in hand, obey the military order, forbid the general, and kill those who speak falsely. ”

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened slightly, obviously a little surprised by Zheng Ping's plan.

This is to blame Dong Zhuo!

But when he thought of the style and personality of the Qingzhou driver in front of him, Guan Yu was quickly relieved.

For a usurper like Dong Zhuo, it is also a move to get rid of thieves.

explained the details, and Lu Zhi's farewell words to Liu Bei ended.

"Xuande, just send it here!" Lu Zhi looked at the three-way intersection in front of him, and his heart was heroic: "If he can break through Chang'an one day, the old man will invite Xuande to Chang'an for a banquet." ”

Liu Bei sighed secretly, bowed to Lu Zhi again, and his eyes were firm: "Master Lu will definitely succeed if he goes!" ”

Guan Yu also stepped forward to say goodbye to Liu Bei: "Big brother, when the foolish brother is not there, take care of yourself in Qingzhou!" ”

Ko Yi and Tian Yu also hugged their fists and resigned.

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone." For some reason, Liu Bei's mind suddenly flashed with the picture of Prince Yan Dan sending Jing Ke.

But soon, Liu Bei dispersed this unlucky picture, and only sent Lu Zhi and the others away with his fists on the horse, until there were only Liu Bei and Zheng Ping more than ten horses at the crossing.

"Xianmou, Master Lu is going, but I am still unsteady in my heart." Liu Bei was worried.

Zheng Ping chuckled, seemingly not caring, but the right hand holding the feather fan was slightly stiff: "Don't worry, although the Xiliang Army is brave, there are many elite soldiers under my uncle's command, even if he can't defeat the enemy, he can retreat." ”

In his heart, Zheng Ping is not optimistic about Lu Zhi's westward expedition.

Although Lu Zhi had many years of experience in commanding troops, and his subordinates served Guan Yu, Koyi, and Tian Yu, as well as the Danyang soldiers and possible Changshan soldiers to help, he did not rely on the strength of Qingzhou to march westward after all.

Alone in the west, there are too many variables!

Although Yuan Shao temporarily agreed to divide Jizhou with Han Fu, Zheng Ping did not think that Yuan Shao would really fulfill this bet.

The division of Jizhou was only because of Liu Bei's intervention, and Han Fu and Yuan Shao had a step forward.

Even if Yuan Shao agrees on the surface, he will not be convinced in private, and the seizure of power in Jizhou may not be delayed until a year later.

Liu Dai in Yanzhou is also an unstable factor.

The complex situation mixed together will more or less affect Lu Zhi's westward expedition.

"I hope so!"

Liu Bei turned his horse's head and no longer thought about Lu Zhixi's expedition.

In this Qingzhou, there are still a lot of things waiting for Liu Bei to deal with.

As Lu Zhi said, Qingzhou has serious internal troubles, and there must be no carelessness!

The other side.

Yuan Shao led the crowd to Anping and stopped leaving, and directly stationed in Xindu.

Along the way, Yuan Shao's eyes were gloomy.

Coming with excitement and returning from defeat is Yuan Shao's mood at the moment.

Xu Yu was calm and relaxed on the side, but Feng Ji was nervous.

Several suggestions failed to achieve great success, which made Feng Ji feel that his position in Yuan Shao's eyes was in jeopardy.

Gritting his teeth, Feng Ji stubbornly said: "This time I planned unfavorably, and I asked Ming Gong to punish him." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes were deep, staring at Feng Ji deadly.

In all fairness, Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with Feng Ji.

After all, he went to Yecheng with great fanfare, and finally had to accept Liu Bei's persuasion.

Although Jizhou was divided, this was not what Yuan Shao wanted.

In one year, there are too many variables!

Lu Zhixi's expedition to Dong Zhuo also made Yuan Shao feel a crisis.

The purpose of playing a Yuzhou assassin history to Yuzhou is to sabotage Yuan Shu's plan to fight Dong and prevent Yuan Shu from gaining the reputation of King Qin's success.

Yuan Shao is very clear!

At this time, whoever can succeed in King Qin will be able to replace Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's position was something that Yuan Shao had wanted to replace for a long time, so naturally no one else could get involved.

"Yuantu, is there a way to break the game?"

Yuan Shao stared at Feng Ji for a long time, and gave Feng Ji a chance to atone for his sins.

Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao was not accountable, and he was immediately overjoyed: "I still have a plan, but I can make Han Fu take the initiative to offer the other half of Jizhou, and Liu Bei of Qingzhou will never interfere!" ”

Yuan Shao's eyes moved, and he waved his sleeves: "Let's talk carefully!" ”

Feng Ji took a deep breath, then glanced at Xu You, who was unresponsive next to him, and raised his voice: "If Ming Gong wants to become a general trend, if he can't own the entire Jizhou, he won't be able to gain a foothold." ”

"Han Fu's talent is mediocre, and he has talents under his command who can't be used, even if there is a one-year appointment, Han Fu can't surpass Ming Gong in the level of governing Jizhou."

"The Ming Duke has the momentum of Jizhou, such as the water of the Yellow River, no one can stop it, I believe that the knowledgeable people in Jizhou are very clear."

"It's just that because of the persuasion of Liu Bei, the assassin of Qingzhou, Ming Gong had to compromise."

"But if you can lure Gongsun Chan to go south and agree to divide Jizhou together, Han Fu will definitely be frightened when he learns about it."

"At the same time, send someone who can speak well to tell Han Fu about the good and the bad, and state the benefits and disadvantages."

"Gongsun Chan has a great friendship with Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will definitely refuse to persuade him to make peace again; And Han Fu has no guts and rats, if he sees Gongsun Chan going south, he will definitely mistakenly think that Liu Bei wants this half of Jizhou! ”

"The lure plan is matched with the discord meter, the number is continuous, and Jizhou is at your fingertips!"

Yuan Shao's expression gradually soothed, and he began to consider Feng Ji's strategy: "How can Gongsun Chan be willing to go south to Jizhou?" ”

Feng Ji said with a smile: "Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu have always been at odds, and the fundamental reason is still a conflict of interest. ”

"For a bian Yong like Gongsun Zhan, it is difficult to obtain the political achievements of governing the party, and he can only rely on killing the enemy to establish his fame."

"However, Liu Yu Huairou Wuhuan made Gongsun Chan unable to send troops to attack the thief, which is tantamount to cutting off Gongsun Chan's opportunity for meritorious promotion."

"How can Gongsun Chan not hate Liu Yu?"

"But Liu Yu's reputation is too great, even if Gongsun Chan has resentment, he can only hold back his anger and protest."

"According to the agreement between Ming Gong and Liu Bei, Han Fu is in charge of Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom, Julu County, Zhao Kingdom and Wei County, and this Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Country and even Wei County are adjacent to the Black Mountain Thieves."

"If Gongsun Chan takes over these five counties, the war will not be interrupted, and there will be no shortage of opportunities for him to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

"You don't have to conflict with Liu Yu, and you can make contributions, how can Gongsun Zan not be tempted?"

Yuan Shao's smile began to appear: "Yuan Tu's plan is wonderful!" If Han Fu fights Gongsun Zan to the death, I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after both of them are defeated, I can logically crusade against the two. ”

"If Han Fu is frightened, he will inevitably give up the Jizhou Mu, and I will expel Gongsun Zan as the Jizhou Mu, killing two birds with one stone!"

Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao finally had a smile, and the stone hanging in his heart also fell, and his tone was more proud: "Liu Bei thinks he has a plan, but he doesn't know that this Gongsun Zan is also ambitious. ”

"Liu Bei can intervene in Jizhou affairs, and we can also lead Gongsun Zan to intervene in Jizhou affairs."

But Feng Ji was happy, but Xu You was unhappy: "Feng Yuantu can actually think of such a clever plan?" ”

Introducing Gongsun Zan to the south, Xu You had already had such an idea.

But Xu You had the heart to see Feng Ji make a fool of himself, so he kept hiding it and not saying anything.

I thought that Yuan Shao would punish Feng Ji, and then ask myself for advice, but I didn't expect Yuan Shao to give Feng Ji the opportunity to atone for his crimes, but on the contrary, Feng Ji really thought of a good strategy!

To lure Gongsun Chan with half of Jizhou, for Gongsun Chan, who has been suffering in Youzhou, it is like a credit from the sky, what do you want!

Black Mountain thief, that's comparable to Wu Huan's military exploits!

"Feng Ji has already proposed this plan, if I say it again, I will inevitably be suspicious of picking up people's teeth."

"But if you don't stop it, Feng Jizhu won Jizhou at the beginning, and his status will be above me in the future!"

"It's long overdue!"

Xu You regretted it a little.

Because of the arrogance of the moment, Feng Ji took the lead, causing the good strategy he had painstakingly prepared to be taken first!

Yuan Shao didn't pay attention to the change in Xu Yu's eyes, and said with some excitement: "Yuan Tu, although this Han Fu is incompetent, there are many talents under Han Fu's command, if ordinary people state their interests, they may not succeed." ”

"Gongsun Chan also has to go to someone."

"Do you have any recommended talents?"

Feng Ji didn't hesitate: "Gongsun Zhan, I personally lobbied, and I will definitely succeed; Yecheng's work in the trial of the south is not reused by Han Fu, and I have befriended him. Wait for me to write a letter, and let Zhen Zhengnan state his interests in front of Han Fu, and he will definitely succeed. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed: "I have heard the name of Zhengnan, and I can't wait to see it." If the trial can help me succeed, I will definitely use it again in the future. ”

Seeing that Feng Ji had arranged the events before and after, Xu You finally couldn't help it: "At the beginning, the trial of Zhengnan is not available, if it is used, it will definitely be a bad thing!" ”

Feng Ji's eyes were a little unhappy: "Brother Ziyuan, don't you look down on the ability to judge Nan?" ”

Xu You chuckled and said, "Yuan Tu misunderstood, it's not that I despise the ability to judge Nan. It's just that I heard that Zhenzheng Nan has always been upright and has disobeyed Han Fu many times, how could Han Fu listen to his words? ”

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment: "Yuan Tu, Ziyuan has a point, you have to be cautious in this matter." Are there any other talents to recommend? ”

Feng Ji suddenly made a difficulty.

In addition to the trial, he really didn't know who could lobby Han Fu.

Xu You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Originally, I was able to recommend three talented and talented people, and I could lobby Han Fu. ”

Yuan Shao suddenly said happily: "Since Ziyuan knows the talents, why didn't he recommend them early?" ”

Xu You said with a smile: "But all the great talents want to come to see Ben and make a contribution, if they don't give a chance, they don't want to come." ”

Yuan Shao nodded: "Ziyuan, don't hide it, who is Junjie?" ”

Xu You pointed in the direction of Yingchuan and smiled slightly: "In the rich land of Yingchuan, Dong Zhuo often sends troops to attack. Therefore, most of the Junjie in Yingchuan chose to go out for refuge. ”

"At the beginning, you can hear that Xun Chen, the son of the late Xiangxun Gong of Jinan, Xun Chen, Xun Youruo, the former Yingchuan Taishou Yin Xiu's subordinate Guo Tu Guo Gongze, and Yingchuan celebrity Xin Zhongzhi?"

Yuan Shao was awe-inspiring: "I have naturally heard of the reputation of these three people. Could it be that they also came to Jizhou? ”

Xu You said with a smile: "Xun Chen, Guo Tu and Xin Ping are all fellow villagers of Han Fu, after Han Fu became the pastor of Jizhou, he summoned Guo Tu and Xin Ping to Jizhou to conspire with him, and Xun Chen went with Guo Tu and Xin Ping. ”

"However, the three of them are not optimistic about Han Fu, so they have always been very low-key under Han Fu."

"Compared with the trial of the people of Wei County, Xun Chen, who is the same township as Han Fu, went to persuade Han Fu to give way, so that Han Fu would not be wary."
