In the face of Xu You's rebuttal method of putting aside the facts and only taking the past incident of Feng Ji and the past of being separated as an example, Feng Ji and Ji only want to cut Xu You with one sword, and the world will become clean.

"Xu Ziyuan, do you think Ji Xiao has taken pity on Zheng Ping, then tell me, what other conspiracy does Zheng Ping have?" Feng Ji held back his anger.

Xu You slowly picked up the wine bottle, took a sip gently, and then stroked his short hair, straightened his clothes, and when Feng Ji's anger was about to be uncontrollable, he slowly spoke: "Feng Yuantu, why do you believe so firmly that Liu Bei, who has the three states of Qingxu and Yang, has to gather soldiers from the six states to compete with the Duke of Ming?" ”

"Without Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Zang Hong, Liu Bei won't fight?"

"If that's the case, how could Nanpi City be robbed by Liu Bei?"

"Zheng Xianmou dug a pit for you, and you stupidly jumped into it, and you thought you had seen through Zheng Xianmou's tricks, isn't it ridiculous?"

"There has been a saying since ancient times, if you go outside, you must first settle inside."

"Liu Bei doesn't have to gather troops from the six states to compete with Ming Gong, he is just worried that when he competes with Ming Gong, he will be harassed by Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Zang Hong."

"Therefore, Zheng Xianmou's plan is not at all the soldiers of the six states as Feng Yuantu guessed, but he just wants to take the opportunity to seize Yanzhou, and then use the troops of Yanqing and Xu Yang to destroy Cao Cao and Liu Biao."

"Since ancient times, the combination of vertical and horizontal is only a false appearance, and what can really stabilize the general trend is to destroy all allies who may be rebelled by the enemy."

"As for exchanging cities for cities, and exchanging land for land, it's even more ridiculous!"

"Liu Bei's reputation is now flourishing, if the Ming Duke sends Ma Teng Han to kill Liu Xie and seize the jade seal, then Liu Bei will support Liu Bei as the emperor in order to support the great cause of the Han family, even if he is unwilling in his heart."

"If Liu Bei is called the emperor, he will fight Yanzhou if he wants to fight Yanzhou, and if he wants to fight Yuzhou, he will fight Yuzhou, and any move to send troops can be regarded as the righteousness of Kuangfu Han."

"With the soldiers of Qingxu Yang Sanzhou, it will take at most half a year to pacify Yanyu Jing."

"And the Nanzhou scholars, who originally had no hope for the Han family, saw that Liu Bei was like Emperor Guangwu in charge of the general trend and swept Nanzhou, so they would inevitably choose to support Liu Bei in order to gain benefits when the Han family was prosperous."

"Feng Yuantu, you suddenly believe in Guo Tu's words, you won't really fornicate with Liu Bei, right?"

Feng Ji's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly defended himself to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong, Ji has no such intention!" Xu You, this is a communiqué personal vendetta! ”

In his heart, Feng Ji couldn't wait to cut Xu Yu with a sword.

This framing out of nothing is too ruthless!

However, Xu Yu's analysis is in line with common sense.

Liu Xie was killed by Ma Teng Han Sui, and the jade seal was taken away by Ma Teng Han Sui, so Cao Cao would become a sinner of the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Bei, who is the emperor's uncle, General Zuo, Qingzhou pastor, and fake festival, can only be called the emperor in order to continue the Han Dynasty.

Only when he is proclaimed emperor can Liu Bei send troops to recruit rebellion in the name of righteousness, in order to avenge the shame of the Han Emperor being killed.

Without Liu Xie's constraints, Liu Bei would not need to abide by the way of the monarch and the minister, and he would act in the way of the emperor to quell the rebellion.

Qingxu Yang Sanzhou is already strong, and there is no need to think too much about dealing with Zang Hong, Cao Cao and Liu Biao.

At that time, Liu Bei could easily gather the troops of the six states to confront Yuan Shao.

Xu You's framing of Feng Ji is fornicating with Liu Bei, which is reasonable.

After all, Feng Ji's move can directly make Liu Bei the emperor.

And the Nanzhou scholars will also believe that Liu Bei has a glorious martial posture, and there is no need for Liu Bei to lobby next to each other, and the Nanzhou scholars will take the initiative to support Liu Bei, in order to be able to worship the marquis after the world is calm.

If this is the case, Feng Ji will not be able to defend himself against the crime of fornicating with Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and he also thought of the consequences of Liu Xie's killing.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Yuan Shao didn't believe that Liu Bei didn't have the idea of being the emperor.

If Yuan Shao himself was Liu Bei, he would inevitably hope that Liu Xie would die early, so that he could logically claim the title of emperor on the grounds of continuing the Han family.

Yuan Shao only hated that he was not a member of the Han family, otherwise he wouldn't need to support a puppet emperor at all!

"If it weren't for Ziyuan's reminder, it would have almost ruined my big thing!" Yuan Shao glared at Feng Ji fiercely, and the latter lowered his head in shame.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu again: "Ziyuan, do you have a clever plan to break Zheng Xian's strategy?" ”

Xu You stroked his short hair again, and smiled with conviction: "Lu Bu was originally a person with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, but now Zhang Miao and Chen Gong are in prison, but Lu Bu is safe and sound, with Lu Bu's personality of forgetting righteousness, he must have switched to Cao Cao." ”

"Therefore, it is speculated that Lu Bu must have been ordered by Cao Cao to enter Chen Liu."

"And Zang Hong's declaration of war is most likely to protect himself, Zang Hong is worried that Cao Cao will repeat his old tricks and get rid of himself like getting rid of Zhang Miao Chen Gong."

"Whether the Duke of Ming is stationed in Yecheng or attacking Nanpi, it may make Cao Cao mistakenly think that the Duke of Ming is going to march south."

"On the contrary, if Ming Gong ignores it, Yanzhou will inevitably be in chaos, either Zang Hong will kill Lu Bu, or Lu Bu will kill Zang Hong, and Liu Bei will inevitably intervene in Yanzhou."

Feng Ji and the trial secretly scolded Xu Yu for being shameless, after all, the two also suggested not to send troops to Yanzhou at the beginning.

Yuan Shaoshen thought so: "Ziyuan's words are reasonable, but he just doesn't move, and the general is difficult to let go of in his heart." ”

Xu You was prepared and said with a smile: "Duke Ming, the Black Mountain thieves are raging every year, if the Black Mountain thieves collude with Nanzhou, it will also be a big trouble." ”

"After the Black Mountain thieves are destroyed, Ming Gong can take Hanoi, Hedong, Hongnong and Henan Yin, according to Sizhou."

"With the general trend of sitting and watching Cao and Liu fight, Ming Gong can be invincible."

"Ming Gong has the world in mind, and he can't mess up for the sake of a momentary anger, you must know: the general trend is in hand, and the world is at your fingertips!"

Yuan Shao was persuaded by Xu You, and stroked his palm: "According to Ziyuan's strategy, first destroy the Black Mountain thieves, and then determine the four counties of Sizhou." ”

Xu You glanced at Feng Ji and the trial contemptuously, and the look was self-evident: At the critical moment, you still have to look at me Xu Ziyuan!

Feng Ji and Juan were so angry that their bodies trembled.

Leaving the General's Mansion, Feng Ji couldn't hold back his anger anymore: "Xu Yu thief, from time to time he framed me for fornicating with Liu Bei, which is extremely hateful!" ”

"Zhengnan, can you find evidence of Xu You's corruption?"

The judge shook his head: "It can be checked, but although Xu Yu is currently corrupt, with his personal relationship with Ming Gong, he will be reprimanded by Ming Gong at most." ”

"I want to convict Xu You, unless Xu You wantonly resells military rations."

Liu Ye on the side suddenly spoke: "Ye heard that Xu You's nephew Xu Yi goes to Bohai Bay every month to resell refined salt. ”

"This refined salt is only available to salt merchants in Qingzhou, and perhaps, evidence can be found from Xu Yi."

The judge was immediately overjoyed: "Ah Ye, is this true?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head deliberately: "I just heard about it by chance, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Feng Ji hated and said: "Xu Yi and Xu You are both greedy, if they really resell refined salt, Xu Yi will definitely collude with Qingzhou salt merchants." ”

"Let's start with Xu Yi, and we must find out that Xu Yi has evidence of reselling military rations and ordnance to Qingzhou."

"Even if there is no evidence, make evidence."

"Ah Ye, it is inconvenient for me and Zhengnan to investigate this matter, otherwise Xu You will inevitably complain in front of Ming Gong and say that it is me and Zhengnan who took revenge with personal grudges, so this matter will be handed over to you."

Liu Ye remained silent and ordered: "Ye will try his best to verify this matter." It's just that creating evidence will be manipulated by others, and it is better not to use it or not. ”

The judge praised: "Ah Ye is cautious, rest assured to check, if Xu Yi is really honest and selfless, then we can also make friends sincerely." ”

Yuan Shao adopted Xu You's advice, and in addition to garrisoning troops in important city passes to take precautions, he began to attack the Montenegrin army with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would not know.

Jibei country, Lu County.

After getting the information that Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou to attack the Black Mountain Thieves, Zheng Ping couldn't help but praise lightly, shook his fan and smiled: "There are masters under Yuan Shao's command, and my plan to gather troops from six states for the Northern Expedition has been discovered. ”

Zhang Fei was puzzled: "Strategist, your plan has been discovered, why are you still laughing?" ”

Zheng Ping laughed: "Although I saw through my plan to gather troops from the six states for the Northern Expedition, but Yuan Shao didn't see through my other plans, how can you not laugh?" ”

"I deliberately revealed the news of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong being imprisoned to Yuan Shao, just to let Yuan Shao's advisers understand the situation in Nanzhou more clearly."

"Only if Yuan Shao feels that it is profitable, can he act according to my ideas."

"Yuan Shao's attack on the Black Mountain Army at this time must be to let Cao Cao fight for Yanzhou, coincidentally, my other plan is also to let Cao Cao fight for Yanzhou."

"Only by luring the snake out of the hole can you hit it seven inches."

After a pause, Zheng Ping paced and turned around: "Yide, you go to Xuzhou in person, let Yun Chang secretly command the elite troops into Taishan County, and when the time comes, capture Lu Bu immediately!" ”

"Remember, you must tell Yun Chang that this time I privately transferred troops, and it has nothing to do with the envoy."

Zhang Fei said suspiciously: "The military division already has the right to transfer troops, why do you say that it is a private transfer of troops?" ”

Zheng Ping shook his head: "My right to transfer troops is limited to the inside, and I don't have the power to officially grant the imperial court the power to supervise the military of the three states." ”

"After all, Lu Bu is the general of Jianwei, if he captures Lu Bu in the name of the envoy, it will add a lot of trouble."

"Although Yun Chang is the righteous brother of the envoy, he is also the official canonized Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion and Xuzhou Mu by the imperial court, and he is at the same level as the envoy."

"Lu Bu fought for Yanzhou, and Yun Chang responded to Zang Hong's request for help and captured Lu Bu, what did he have to do with the envoy?"

"Soldier to soldier, general to general, Cao Cao has not yet appeared, so you naturally can't appear in Yanzhou first."

Zhang Fei suddenly realized: "I understand, if the eldest brother responds to Zang Hong's request for help to capture Lu Bu, Cao Cao will inevitably reprimand the eldest brother in the name of the Son of Heaven." ”

"If the eldest brother doesn't appear in Yanzhou, Cao Cao can only reprimand the second brother."

"But no matter how Cao Cao reprimands the second brother, it will not affect the reputation of the eldest brother."

"Cao Cao and his eldest brother have their own opinions, even if the Son of Heaven comes, they can only be appeased."

"I'll go to Xuzhou."

The other side.

Liu Bei came to Shouchun and met Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao and Yuan's old department.

Although Yuan Shu died because of his defeat at Liu Bei, Yuan Yao did not hate Liu Bei because of this, thanks to Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi.

With the assistance of Huang Yi, the old Yuan family successively chose to surrender to Liu Bei.

After all, Yuan Yao and Huang Yi both surrendered, and it didn't make sense for the rest of them to insist.

"Sin General Yuan Yao, I've seen General Zuo!" Yuan Yao's posture was very low.

Liu Bei stepped forward in person, helped Yuan Yao up, and said: "Virtuous nephews don't need to be like this, the grudge between Bei and Ling Zun will not harm the family." ”

"Although Ling Zun went astray, he also woke up when he was dying, the Yuan family was originally loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't erase the merits of four generations just because Ling Zun alone."

"The virtuous nephew should remember the lessons of Ling Zun, learn from him with an open mind, and serve the Han Dynasty in the future, and he can also restore the prestige of the Yuan Sect."

Yuan Yao was immediately moved.

If it had been someone else, Yuan Yao and the others would have been cut down and eradicated a long time ago.

Although Yuan Shu is dead, Yuan's protégé is still there.

Under the recommendation of Yuan Yao and Huang Yi, Liu Bei visited the former protégé of the Yuan family in Huainan.

I have to admit that in terms of charm, Liu Bei is one of the few in the world.

Although the old Yuan clan surrendered, they were worried about being liquidated afterwards every day.

Now with Liu Bei's personal commitment, the heart of the old Yuan family has finally become stable.

Liu Bei's name of Xinyi has long been famous in Qingxu and Sanzhou, and if he promised it in person, he is trustworthy.

In a few months, Liu Bei's footprints traveled all over the counties of Yangzhou.

From the old department of Yuan Shu in Huainan, to Lujiang Lukang, to Yuzhang Huaji, Danyang Zhou Shang, Huiji Wang Lang, and Wujun Xu Gong, even Xu Gong, who had a tyrannical personality, were all impressed by Liu Bei's benevolence.

And Xu Shao, a famous man who took refuge in Yangzhou, even commented on Liu Bei as "the genius of the world", which means: a heroic talent who came into the world in accordance with the mandate of heaven.

If it weren't for Liu Xie's still alive, Xu Shao would like to evaluate Liu Bei as "the posture of Guangwu, the master of Zhongxing", and think that Liu Bei can sweep away the crowd like Emperor Guangwu and the three prosperous Hans.

"I don't know how the conspiracy's plan is going."

Qu A, Liu Bei dragged his tired body back to the post house.

As early as a month ago, Liu Bei got a letter from Guan Yu.

Although Zheng Ping asked Zhang Fei to tell Guan Yu that Zheng Ping secretly sent troops to Taishan County, Guan Yu still sent Guan Ping to Yangzhou to send a letter to Liu Bei.

It's not that Guan Yu doesn't trust Zheng Ping, but in Guan Yu's heart, even if he secretly sends troops, he has to inform Liu Bei.

Liu Bei didn't think much about it, after all, Liu Bei's southern tour and Zheng Ping's trip to Yanzhou were decided from the beginning.

Liu Bei was worried that his southern tour would affect Zheng Ping's plan if he toured the south for too long.

"The purpose of making Jun go south to Xuyang Erzhou is to rectify the manpower and material resources of the two states."

"The more people who support the envoy, the more manpower and material resources I can mobilize."

"It's no longer a battle for one city and one pool, once the big war starts, it's about the consumption of money and food on both sides."

"Whoever runs out of money and food first will lose!"

Zheng Ping's words are vivid in my ears.

The sooner the manpower and material resources of Qingxu and Yang Sanzhou are rectified, the more manpower and material resources Zheng Ping can mobilize, and the smoother the use of this strategy will be.

If it takes three or five years to rectify the three states of Qingxu and Yang, Zheng Ping will never go to Yanzhou.

"Now all the counties in Yangzhou have made it clear that they will support the Northern Expedition, and the money and grain are also being shipped to Qingzhou one after another."

"Xianmou, it's up to you next!"

Liu Bei looked in the direction of Yanzhou, and his eyes were a little more solemn.
