Xu Yu is not an ordinary person.

Xu You, who dared to instigate Wang Fen to abolish the emperor in his early years, was a celebrity a long time ago.

The scholars in Nanyang, Runan, and Yingchuan have all made friends.

Before he dared to sit back and watch Feng Ji give Yuan Shao's advice and ignore it, it was because Xu You had already set a strategy to seize Jizhou for Yuan Shao.

The talents under Han Fu are not only Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Ju Pei and others, but also Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and other Yingchuan scholars.

But Tian Feng and the others are all from Jizhou, and their family businesses are all in Jizhou, so they will naturally perform their duties conscientiously by Han Fu's expedition.

After all, being in a high position and being able to take care of the family business is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

But Xun Chen, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping are different from Yingchuan scholars, and for Jizhou, these Yingchuan people are outsiders after all.

The foundation is not in Jizhou, so this talk and action is naturally not as good as Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others.

And Han Fu is a mediocre talent, Xun Chen and others also look down on Han Fu, and they are willing to accept Han Fu's expedition, just to come to Jizhou to watch the changes.

Xu You had already had contact with Xun Chen and the three of them, and he also recruited the three of them for Yuan Shao, so he had today's recommendation.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's still Ziyuan thoughtful, if there is Xun Youruo and the three of them to help, this position of Jizhou pastor, I Yuan Shao will get it!" ”

Feng Ji was so angry that he gritted his teeth!

Most of the great credit for winning Jizhou was originally his own.

As a result, Xu You recommended three directly, and then counted Xu You, and the credit had to be divided into four parts.

"Duke Ming, since Xun Chen and the three of them are fellow villagers of Han Fu, how can they turn their backs on Han Fu? If you turn your back on Han Fu, isn't that ungrateful? Feng Ji didn't want to give in, and began to find fault with Xun Chen and the others: "On the other hand, the judge Zhengnan, because he was despised by Han Fu, he must resent Han Fu in his heart, so he will really think for Ming Gong." ”

Yuan Shao really hesitated: "Ziyuan, what Yuan Tu said makes sense, can Xun Chen and the three of them be trusted?" ”

Xu You laughed: "I was too worried at the beginning!" Since ancient times, good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose their masters, Han Fu is stupid and incompetent, do Xun Chen and the three of them have to be loyal to Han Fu for the rest of their lives because they were recruited by Han Fu? ”

"What's more, Han Fu was originally a protégé of the Yuan family, and Xun Chen and the three of them abandoned Han Fu and chose the original, which is also in line with the general trend, where did they come from being ungrateful?"

Yuan Shao stroked his short hair and said happily: "Ziyuan's words are reasonable!" Han Fu was originally my former official of the Yuan family, isn't the talent he recruited my talent?"

"Yuantu, you're too worried!"

Feng Ji is so angry!

What do you mean for me to worry too much, Xu Ziyuan, a traitor, is robbing me of my credit!

Looking at Xu You's slightly mocking eyes, Feng Ji's lungs were about to be blown up.

"Xu Ziyuan, I have repeatedly spoiled my good deeds, I will make you look good one day!"

"If you can stay in Jizhou, you have to recommend it to Ming Gong as soon as possible to judge Zhengnan, Zhengnan is a wealthy family in Wei County, with a huge family of money, Xu Ziyuan has always been greedy for money, and when Ming Gong enters Yecheng, there will definitely be a conflict between the two."

"Maybe you can borrow the hand of Zhengnan to get rid of Xu Ziyuan!"

Feng Ji took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and this is not the time to turn his face with Xu You.

"Ming Gong, this matter is indeed my lack of thought, I am willing to listen to Ming Gong's arrangement." Feng Ji chose to forbear.

endure for a while, the wind and waves are calm, not to mention that Feng Ji has failed several times in a row, and he must have a great achievement to truly gain a foothold under Yuan Shao!

Yuan Shao nodded, and asked Feng Ji and Xu You to prepare.

A mansion in Yecheng.

More than ten Yingchuan scholars gathered together, it was Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others.

Some of these Yingchuan scholars came out under Han Fu, and some of them temporarily lived in Yecheng to watch current affairs.

"Qingzhou Assassin Shi Liu Bei, really very human, was able to persuade Yuan Taishou to agree to divide Jizhou with Han Fu. It's a pity that Yuan Taishou failed to accomplish the work! Guo Tu sighed.

If Yuan Shao can succeed, he will naturally have a better future than following the mediocre Han Fu.

Xin Ping also said: "It's really regrettable. Han Yuanjun was also a humble gentleman before he became a pastor of Jizhou, but he didn't expect that after becoming a pastor of Jizhou, he also became arbitrary and arbitrary. ”

"I think that Huigong, a famous man in Jizhou, would be punished by Han Fu to serve in conscription because of his outspoken admonition, how can it be a big thing with such a measure."

Xin Bi also said: "I heard that Zi Huigong went to Qingzhou to rule Shizhong, and he was quite valued by Liu Thorn History. ”

"If it weren't for the serious internal troubles in Qingzhou, I would have wanted to go to Qingzhou to play for Liu Tingshi."

Xun Chen nodded: "Qingzhou Liu Tingshi is indeed a wise lord with a lot of tolerance, but unfortunately Liu Tingshi's appetite is too big and too pedantic, and it is really unwise to gamble on the future of Qingzhou." ”

Guo Tu sneered: "Then Liu Bei used to be just a Youzhou martial artist who weaved mats and sold shoes, and he could only raise some reputation for benevolence and love for the people, otherwise which wise man would vote for Liu Bei?" ”

"But no matter how much Liu Bei tosses, he is at most like Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, where can he compare to Yuan Taishou IV, the third duke, and the famous family?"

"If we want to achieve fame and become a minister, only Yuan Taishou is in charge of Jizhou."

Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others nodded one after another.

Although Liu Bei seems to be based in Qingzhou, in the eyes of these Yingchuan wise men, Liu Bei's Qingzhou is still crumbling.

They are all from the big family of Yingchuan, and there have been many ministers in the family, such as civil and military, and assassin Shi Taishou, so they naturally look down on Liu Bei's background.

"Hiccup—"

While talking and laughing, an inappropriate voice sounded from the banquet hall.

But I saw a person, drunk and hazy, with a long wine burp.

"Fengxiao, you don't drink less on weekdays, are you like that?" Guo Tu couldn't help frowning when he saw the appearance of this drunken young man.

The young man's surname is Guo Mingjia, and his expression is filial piety, and he just won the crown last year.

Because Yingchuan suffered wars from time to time, he also came to Yecheng to join his brother Guo Tu.

Although they are clan brothers, Guo Tu and Guo Jia's bloodlines are far apart.

But because Guo Jia is very intelligent, Guo Tu will also take care of this "clan brother" in order to establish his reputation.

Guo Jia did not feel the slightest embarrassment and discomfort, but said with a smile: "Listening to you joke about the general trend, it is like drinking nectar, and I can listen to it for a while, and I am too full." ”

"Don't blame! Don't blame! ”

Everyone was helpless.

Guo Jia's personality is not known to them for the first time.

After all, the scholars in Yingchuan are handsome, and the circle is so big, not that they came to Yecheng to meet Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's simple words directly and skillfully resolved the rudeness of being drunk alone.

It's not that you burp when you drink, but you say it so well that people are fascinated and drink nectar, so I can't help but burp.

Xun Chen looked at Guo Jia and asked slightly: "Fengxiao has always been far-sighted, why don't you also talk about the general trend of Jizhou?" You can't drink this nectar alone! ”

Guo Jia laughed: "Compared to you, I am just a firefly to the light, and I can't afford to be far-sighted, but it's a bit clumsy." ”

Xin Ping smiled: "Don't be modest, whether it's a humble opinion or a vision, let's hear it." ”

Guo Jia picked up the wine bottle, got up and paced: "This Jizhou, Han Envoy Jun can't hold it, Yuan Taishou wants to achieve great things, he must take Jizhou to gain a foothold." ”

"It's just that the intervention of Qingzhou Liu Tingshi made Yuan Taishou's previous plan come to naught."

"If you want to capture Jizhou again, unless you use a trick, you can't succeed."

Guo Tu shook the wine bottle slightly: "What is Fengxiao's so-called strange plan?" ”

Guo Jia chuckled: "If Yuan Taishou wants to win Jizhou, he must first take advantage of the righteousness, and then let Han Fu make mistakes, there are many strange tricks available, such as driving tigers and devouring wolves, borrowing knives to kill people, and two tigers competing for food." ”

Xun Chen shook his head: "Fengxiao, what you said is the same as not saying it, is this because we are afraid that we will listen to your trick and go to Yuan Taishou to make contributions?" ”

"Brother Youruo misunderstood me!" Guo Jia came to Xun Chen's side, poured a bottle of wine for Xun Chen, and saluted: "It's not that I don't want to elaborate, but it's useless to elaborate." ”

"Yuan Shao's command has many wise men, what I can think of, they can also think of, so why bother to speculate about their intentions."

"If I annoy them, how can I mix and drink under Yuan Taishou in the future?"

The crowd laughed.

But Guo Tu's eyes were a little more jealous of Guo Jia.

Long.

Guo Tu opened his mouth and said: "Feng Xiao is really smart! To tell you nothing, Xu Ziyuan has already sent me a letter asking me to cooperate with him. ”

The crowd was relieved.

Xun Chen asked in a condensed voice, "How does Xu Ziyuan want us to cooperate?" ”

Guo Tu glanced at Guo Jia and said indifferently: "Xu Ziyuan wants to lead Gongsun Zan south to Jizhou." ”

Everyone present was a smart and wise man, and they all looked at Guo Jia in surprise.

Although Guo Jia only said a simple sentence, he had already guessed Yuan Shao's next move.

Long.

Xun Chen sighed: "The wisdom of filial piety is admirable. If he wanted to lure Gongsun Zan south, Yuan Taishou must promise to divide Jizhou together. ”

"Gongsun Zhan is under the jurisdiction of Liu Yu, and he can no longer kill Wuhuan people for meritorious service, so he can only come to Jizhou to find trouble with the Black Mountain thieves."

"Han Fu is a timid person, if he sees Gongsun Zhan attacking, he will definitely be frightened and panicked, at this time, if someone states the interests and persuades Han Fu to give Jizhou Mu to Yuan Shao, Han Fu will definitely agree."

"This is what Xu Ziyuan asked me to cooperate, right?"

Guo Tu nodded: "That's true!" I have gathered you to this feast today for this purpose. If you are not willing to cooperate, you can leave first. ”

No one spoke.

Everyone is a scholar from Yingchuan, and they are all in a social circle on weekdays, and they are all hoping that Jizhou can change to a state pastor.

Now that the opportunity has come, how can you leave it so easily?

"Since no one is leaving, then I'll make it clear." Guo Tu smiled slightly: "Persuading Han Fu to give up the position of Jizhou pastor, with our current status, it is not enough to qualify." ”

"Even if Han Fu is willing to give in, the civil and military forces of Yecheng may not be willing."

"It just so happens that Han Fu has a gambling contract with Yuan Taishou, and now is the time when there is an urgent shortage of talents."

"As a Yingchuan scholar, Han Fu will definitely find us."

"But this time, we can no longer refuse Han Fu with our talents, and we must first sharpen our skills at the grassroots level, but we must share the same hatred with Han Fu, and tell Han Fu proudly: We can't let the Jizhou scholars underestimate me and other Yingchuan scholars!"

"In this way, you can logically enter the core of Yecheng's power and help Han Fu suppress the Jizhou scholars."

"As long as Han Fu alienates the scholars of Jizhou, even if there are people who can see through Yuan Taishou's strategy, they can't persuade Han Fu."

Xin Ping stroked his palms and laughed: "What a clever plan for the public!" Han Fu will not suspect us, and Fu Zhi and others can also be alienated, and then this Jizhou Han Fu will have to let us! ”

Everyone echoed Guo Tu's proposal one after another, but Guo Jia did not agree.

Guo Tu looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, could it be that there is something missing in my strategy?" ”

Guo Jia was noncommittal, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Gongze, have you ever thought about why Yuan Taishou's previous plan failed?" ”

"The timing of Qingzhou Liu Tingshi's intervention is too coincidental, and he sent troops to Yecheng almost as soon as he got the news."

"And Qingzhou would choose King Qin to ask Dong at this time, as if he had expected Han Fu to give food."

"It doesn't make sense!"

When things go wrong, there must be weirdness.

After Guo Jia's reminder, Guo Tu and others frowned.

"Indeed, as Feng Xiao said, the timing of Qingzhou's intervention was too coincidental."

"King Qin's fight against Dong was definitely not improvised when Yuan Taishou raised troops to ask for guilt."

"One wrong step, one wrong step, Qingzhou has been taking risks, but the plans for this risk have been successful."

"It's unreasonable."

Xun Chen also frowned.

Guo Tu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, since you can find this problem, you must have guessed the reason, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Guo Jia drank all the wine in the bottle: "Those who are good at strategizing take heaven and earth as a chess game, and all living beings as chess pieces." If we only focus on Jizhou, we can't guess the intentions of the chess players. ”

"However, looking at the big picture, you can see some clues."

"Half a year ago, Liu Bei was just a well-known lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty."

"Pushing it further, Liu Bei has been depressed for many years."

"And now, Liu Bei is the nephew and son-in-law of Liu Shuo, the king of Qingzhou and the king of the plains, and he has gathered a large number of talented people under his command, and he has the ability to come to Jizhou to persuade peace, and he also dares to help King Lu Gongqin to ask for Dong, and he also has a friendship with the Xuzhou Assassin History."

"Even if there is the help of Kang Chenggong's son, this is not something ordinary people can do."

After a pause, Guo Jia put down the wine bottle and said, "Liu Bei, you have the ambition to set the world!" He is not looking at Qingzhou, nor Jizhou, but the whole world! ”

"And on the way to settle the world, anyone with ambition will be regarded as an enemy by Liu Bei."

"Yuan Taishou will fail before, because he mistakenly thinks that he has given Liu Bei a favor, and Liu Bei will be grateful to Dai De for helping Yuan Taishou become the pastor of Jizhou."

"But for Liu Bei, a mediocre Han Fu is much easier to deal with than a virtuous Yuan Taishou."

"Therefore, as soon as Yuan Taishou raised troops to ask Han Fu for the crime, Liu Bei immediately sent Guan Yu to Yecheng, and waited for Yuan Taishou to come after setting up the bureau."

"Although Xu Ziyuan's strategy is good, he missed one point: that is, whether Liu Bei will stop Gongsun Chan for the sake of the great cause of the world!"

"If Liu Bei sends troops to stop Gongsun Zan again, how can Han Fu plan to sacrifice Jizhou?"

Guo Tu was taken aback: "Fengxiao, are you a little alarmist." Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei have always had a close relationship, which is well known. Could it be that Liu Bei would still offend Gongsun Zan for the sake of Han Fu? ”
