After the meeting, Ju Su left. Guo Tu saw it in his eyes and was secretly happy. He sat still and waited until everyone was about to leave, then slowly got up. He thought Yuan Shao would keep him, but unexpectedly, he walked to the hall and no one came to inform him. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and didn't stay much, so he speeded up his pace.

Yuan Shao stood behind the hall and watched Guo Tu walk away, then he winked at Yuan Xi beside him. Yuan Xi understood and quickly walked out. Yuan Shao walked back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back, his face calm, but his eyebrows were slightly frowning, thinking.

After a while, light footsteps sounded behind him. Yuan Shao stopped and turned around, a faint smile appeared on his face, gentle but not reserved, close but keeping a distance.

"The Yuantu is here."

Feng Ji quickly walked to Yuan Shao and bowed to salute him. "Lord."

Yuan Shao greeted him slightly, raised his hand, and signaled that Feng Ji would sit in the hall. This was not the atrium for discussing affairs, but the backyard. It was always a private place. Except for the confidants, they usually did not discuss matters here. Feng Ji left after attending the meeting. Yuan Xi invited him back halfway and had guessed something. It was not surprising to see Yuan Shao meet in the back hall, so he immediately followed.

The two of them sat in the hall, and Yuan Xi presented tea. Feng Ji's eyes flashed slightly and he hurriedly thanked him. Yuan Xi sat opposite Feng Ji with a respectful expression.

Yuan Shao picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and smiled and said to Feng Ji, "Yuantu, try it, this is the Shu tea that Meng De sent just to send."

Feng Ji tasted it and thanked him. The two of them said a few gossips, and Yuan Shao quickly turned to the point. Feng Ji followed Yuan Shao very early and won the prize in Jizhou. Feng Ji did not say a word at the meeting just now. Yuan Shao specially invited him back for discussion.

"Yuantu is from Qingzhou. If you have any high opinions about Qingzhou, you might as well speak out."

Feng Ji sipped another sip of tea, and then slowly put down the tea bowl. "Lord, what Ju Su and Guo Tu said have their own reasons, and it is difficult to distinguish the superiority of the superiority. How to choose? Only the lord is arbitrary, and Ji's words are just a lot of words."

Yuan Shao smiled, but didn't say anything.

Feng Ji continued: "Since the lord asked questions, Ji dared not speak. Judging from the overall situation, Ju Su was far-sighted. Sun Ce had both the courage of a young man and the city of a wise man. Although he did things that were rebellious, he had made great contributions to rescue him. For more than a year, he had settled Nanyang and Anyuzhou. Now he has seized several counties in Yangzhou, like a wind blowing the clouds, and the momentum is unstoppable. If he was not restrained, he might be worried about being in great trouble. Although he could not be compared with the lord, he could still confuse the world and make it difficult to distinguish between the purplish and purple."

Yuan Shao sighed lightly and nodded in agreement with Feng Ji's opinion. "The road is confused and is still uneasy when dying. It is really difficult to choose such a person. So, Yuan Tu agrees with Ju Su's opinion?"

Feng Ji shook his head. "Qingzhou should be taken, but what Guo Tu said makes sense. The lord should not leave Jizhou lightly. Gongsun Zan was not destroyed, and the remnants of Xiliang occupied Bingzhou. The Black Mountain bandits also secretly communicated with Sun Ce. If the lord personally conquers Qingzhou, they will inevitably send troops to riots, especially Gongsun Zan. Since Qingzhou is so important, how could he sit idly by? Even if he dare not fight against his lord, it is inevitable to send people to attack Jizhou."

"What Yuantu said is deeply my heart. If you don't take Qingzhou, you will sit and watch Sun Ce run rampant. If you take Qingzhou, you are worried that Jizhou will be unstable. Yuantu, I am now surrounded by enemies and my eyes are full of enemies. Yuantu is very wise, can you have a clever plan to teach me?"

"I dare not." Feng Ji smiled slightly. "The way of using troops depends on the reality and reality. Ju Su and Guo Tu's plan seems to be contradictory, but in fact it is just one and two sides, and can be both. Taking Qingzhou is to cut off Gongsun Zan's wealth and tempt Gongsun Zan to attack; the second is to shock Sun Ce so that he cannot act arbitrarily and support the Jiangdong family. There are two difficulties: one is to worry that long-term battles will not last, and the army will be exhausted; the second is to worry that Jizhou is unstable and will be taken advantage of. The lord may as well pretend to go out of Qingzhou, patrol the river, support the command of the south, and guide it without causing any trouble. Sun Ce will inevitably lose his courage. The lord sends another general to take over Qingzhou, and Tian Kai can defeat it. If Gongsun Zan rushes for help, the lord will defeat it by himself. If Gongsun Zan does not leave, Qingzhou will be owned by me. Gongsun Zan loses this taxable place and it will be difficult to do it."

Yuan Shao laughed. "What Yuantu said is exactly what I want. Yuantu thought, who can take the responsibility of Qingzhou?"

"Yi Yun: Two people are united, and their strength is to cut off gold. Those who can be united are father and son. Xiansi fought with Sun Ce in Zhongmu, defeated Sun Ce's plan to advance eastward, and looked across the water. After more than a year of war, he has made great progress and is able to take on the responsibility of one side. Xian Yi was a little younger, but he also followed the lord for many years. Why didn't the lord send Xian Yi out of Qingzhou and let his brothers join hands to Sun Ce together, and the lord sit in Hebei and wait for the opportunity to move?"

Yuan Shao laughed and turned to look at Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi was very excited, his face turned slightly red, but he did not dare to show any slightest, and he was even more respectful. Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Yuantu is indeed not to speak, and he will be right. However, Xianyi is young after all, so it is better to have experience than Xiansi. Xiansi has the help of Xinpi to achieve his achievements today. If Xianyi wants to make contributions, he needs a talented and intelligent counselor to assist him."

Feng Ji was silent. Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Xi and gave a wink. Yuan Xi understood and stood up from the table. He came to Feng Ji and bowed down. Feng Ji quickly got up to avoid the table. Yuan Shao reached out to stop him. "Yuantu, I will give you Xianyi's entrust. I hope Yuantu will not think he is stupid and teach more."

Feng Ji bowed and returned the salute. "I dare not do my best to be trusted by the lord. However, Xianyi was young and suddenly had an external mission. I am afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public. I also asked the lord to show his attention."

"This is natural. I will drink Ma Dahe and support him as Xianyi, showing his intention to fight south and shock Yuzhou. In addition, Xianyi is not young anymore. I want to find a marriage for him. Can Yuantu recommend a suitable candidate?"

"Qi and Lu are the place where Confucianism flourished, and scholars in the province were the first to be Zheng Kang. Qingxumenu recommended the Confucius family of Lu, followed by Taishan Goat family."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment. "Then entrust Yuantu to pay attention to me and see which of their families has women of the same age."

"Here."

Yuan Shao asked Yuan Xi to salute Feng Ji, and took special care of him, asking Yuan Xi to ask Feng Ji for advice if he had any questions, so as to strive to be the same as Yuan Tan one day earlier. If Qingzhou, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yu Zhang's senior officials could successfully conquer Yu Zhou, the three of them formed a siege of Yu Zhou, and even Sun Ce could not be able to protect Yu Zhou.

Yuan Xi agreed repeatedly.

After the meeting was finished, Feng Ji said goodbye, and Yuan Xi sent Feng Ji out of the mansion. Feng Ji got into the carriage, Yuan Xi held the mud and gave him a lot of gratitude. He watched Feng Ji's carriage gradually fade away, and then turned around and returned home.

At the corner of the wall, a homeless man saw this scene and turned away quietly. He turned two turns, stopped in front of a carriage without signs, reached out to the driver's broken bowl, muttering in his mouth, as if begging. After a while, a hand stretched out from the carriage and threw two copper coins into his bowl.
