Chapter 981

Yuan Shao was not in a hurry. "Why is it inappropriate?"

Guo Tu talked freely. "Yingchuan is the lord's prefecture, and Runan is a place where party members gather. He should be the chief general of the general with famous scholars. Although Liu He is good at fighting, he is not as famous as Zhang Zhao in Pengcheng, who was appointed by Sun Ce. Not long ago, he led the Hu cavalry to Yuzhou, with poor military discipline and many acts of disturbing the people. The gentry of Yuzhou has complained about him. He was rarely the governor of Yuzhou, but it may make people think that there is no one under the lord's command."

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and did not comment. He did not agree with Liu He's appointment as the governor of Yuzhou. One of the reasons was Guo Tu's statement. Liu He's actions not long ago aroused the disgust of the Runan gentry, leaving a bad impression, and he was affected. Moreover, Liu Yu was the governor of Youzhou. If Liu He controlled Yuzhou, it might not be a good thing for him. Liu Yu was unwilling to be an emperor, but Liu He might not be unwilling. He just had some strength, so he wanted to control Xuzhou. He would be stronger in the future. Who knows whether his ambition would be greater?

Ju Su's suggestion surprised him, but he would not speak out for his frankness. Guo Tu's rebuttal was exactly what he wanted, and he would not easily express his support. It is normal for the counselor to express his opinion on the contrary. He should not express his opinion easily. He always had to let both sides argue and finally combine the opinions of both sides to meet his identity.

Jushu was not anxious or impatient. "What Gong Ze said was very good. Liu Gongheng's reputation was indeed insufficient and he was not the best candidate. But reputation sometimes does not equal ability. He governs peace and respects virtue, and has the function of rewarding things. Liu Gongheng is brave and diligent. There are also wise men like Xun Youru who are a wise man, and if he cooperates with tacit understanding, he can set Yuzhou. If he only values ​​fame, he will inevitably be disagreeable and disappoints his lord."

A trace of anger flashed in Guo Tu's eyes. Ju Su said this clearly, which means that Liu Yao is famous but not real. Liu Yao was recommended by him. Now he was defeated by Sun Ce. The general he valued was Taishi Ci even became Sun Ce's subordinate. Fighting in Qingzhou caused great trouble to Yuan Xi. Of course, this cannot be said that Yuan Shao was improperly employed, but he could only say that he was improperly recommending people.

"The worry of Gongyu is indeed reasonable. Famous people may not be capable, and capable people may not be famous. But I cannot agree with one thing. Although peace and peace require morality, we must respect reputation even if we have something to do. There are many people in the world. Can't we choose one or two people with both virtue and talent to take charge of Yuzhou? It is Liu Gongheng? Or Gongyu feels that the lord cannot choose someone more suitable than Zhang Zhao, so he can only retreat and seek it, abandon virtue and use ability?"

Seeing Guo Tu move out Yuan Shao to suppress Ju Su, Tian Feng was very unhappy. "Ruo Gong thought that whoever has both moral integrity and talent can be conquered Yuzhou can be said bluntly."

Yuan Shao also said: "Yes, who can be competent for the position of the governor of Yuzhou?"

"I think the most suitable person is Shen Zhengnan (Shen Pei)."

Tian Feng and Ju Su stopped talking and exchanged glances with each other. Shen Pei was the most important general in the Hebei system. Guo Tu proposed that he be the governor of Yuzhou. It was his own opinion or Yuan Shao's instruction. If it was the latter, it would not be a problem on the Henan battlefield. It was a matter of Yuan Shao's overall adjustment, which would affect the whole body and could not express his opinions easily.

Although they are all strategists, Guo Tu is undoubtedly the person that Yuan Shao trusts the most. Some things are hard to say, and it is endorsed by Guo Tu, which is Guo Tu's advantage.

Yuan Shao was also moved. Shen Pei was indeed a suitable candidate. He was capable and also a representative of Hebei people. If Shen Pei was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, he could not only transfer him from Hebei, but also show his importance to Hebei people, killing two birds with one stone. But after thinking about it, he rejected it again. The intention of this arrangement to seize the military power of Shen Pei was too obvious, which may cause unnecessary speculation and affect the confidence of Hebei scholars.

"Zhengnande is both talented and capable, and he is more than enough to be the governor of Yuzhou. He is just a talented person. Moreover, Jizhou cannot do without him, so it is not possible."

Guo Tu didn't mind either and smiled slightly.

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief and pondered: "I also recommend one person, Dong Zhao, the prefect of Wei County."

Yuan Shao's eyebrows trembled and he didn't say anything. Xin Ping was about to speak, but Guo Tu winked at him. Seeing this, Xin Ping immediately closed her mouth. Guo Tu said: "Dong Zhao is indeed talented, but he is already the prefect of Wei County, and he is suspected of being relocated to the governor. Lord, I recommend Yin Kui."

Yuan Shao had a slight head. Although he didn't say anything, judging from his expression, he recognized this candidate very much. Tian Feng and Ju Su did not express his opinion, but he was quite dissatisfied. Yin Kui was born in the Yin family in Xinye, and it was needless to say that he was from Yuan Shao's old subordinate and belonged to the Ru Ying family, so he naturally had to be more trusted by Yuan Shao than Dong Zhao. However, his abilities were far different from Dong Zhao, and he would not play any role in Yuzhou. Then wait and see Guo Tu. As for the war in Henan, spring plowing will soon be the increase in rain. It is estimated that Sun Jian and Sun Ce will not last long and will withdraw soon. Even if Yuan Tan is defeated, the unlucky one is Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Pi, which has nothing to do with Hebei people.

Seeing Tian Feng, Ju Su did not object, and the matter was settled. Yin Kui was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, and first went to Runan to contact the aristocratic family. At the same time, Chunyu Qiong and Liu He stepped up their attacks on the East China Sea to control the entire Xuzhou and form an encirclement of Yuzhou.

After the meeting ended, Guo Tu stayed at the end and discussed the details with Yuan Shao. When he left the door, he saw Xin Ping's carriage waiting opposite him, and couldn't help but smile, walked up to him and knocked on the door.

The car door opened, Xin Ping raised his hand and invited him. "The scenery outside the city is just right. Go out for a walk?"

Guo Tu got into the car, pulled the car door, and smiled and said, "You are afraid you are not in the mood to see the scenery, are you talking about something? Are you worried about George?"

"I'm not worried about him. Even if he is not as good as Guo Jia, it will not be the same. With Xun Chen joining forces, I feel relieved." Xin Ping smiled on his face and looked at Guo Tu quietly. "What I wonder is why you oppose Dong Zhao's departure from Yuzhou. In terms of ability, he is much stronger than Yin Kui. When he went to Julu alone to quell the Li Kang Rebellion, Su Pan was killed, and the Wei County Rebellion, he suppressed Wei County. His ability is well known. Isn't it more certain that he has to go to Yuzhou? I'm worried that Hebei has great power?"

Guo Tu was not in a hurry. "Dong Zhao's ability is indeed unquestionable. It is indeed more appropriate to let him go to Yuzhou than Yin Kui, but Dong Zhao had one of the biggest weaknesses, which determined that the lord would not agree to this suggestion."

"What weakness?"

"Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong Jen is in Zhang Miao's army."

Xin Ping was stunned, then suddenly realized. He slapped his forehead. "Mr. Ze, if it weren't for you, I almost made a big mistake." He laughed twice and sighed again. "This is really a coincidence. Who would have thought that the lord association had a gap with Zhang Miao? Zhang Miao and lord were very close friends. Gong Ze, I always think this is a mistake. If you have the chance, please persuade the lord. The relatives are hurt and the enemy is happy. It is definitely not what the wise should do."

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Guo Tu's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Zhongzhi, if you say this, it's fine to say it in front of me. You must not mention it in front of your lord, otherwise no one can save you."

Xin Ping sneered. "Why, this has become the lord's reverse scale, can't you mention it? If I had known what, why would you have been there?"
