When Guo Jia proposed to drive away the wolf and destroy the relationship between Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao, Liu Zheng immediately agreed.

"With filial piety, this plan is very good, it is just my heart. I just want to think of any way to break up their alliance?"

When Guo Jia heard Liu Zheng's questioning again, he seemed to be prepared and immediately spoke to Liu Zheng.

"My lord, this is actually simple. It's August now, and it will be time for harvest in a few days. As far as I know, Yuan Shao is extremely short of food. Although he brought a large number of troops to occupy Qingzhou this time and seized a lot of food, the food is far from enough."

"Yuan Shao, who lacks food, must ask for it from Lu Zhi, an ally, and I guess Lu Zhi is also extremely afraid of Yuan Shao and will definitely not give Yuan Shao food and grass. During their negotiations, both sides will definitely get into evil."

"And at the same time, if the lord can give Yuan Shao a lot of food and grass, Yuan Shao will definitely be inclined to the lord again. Are you still afraid that Yuan Shao and Lu Zhi will not fight?"

"Okay, very good. I wonder who Fengxiao thinks it would be more appropriate for him to lobby Yuan Shao in this matter?"

Liu Zheng agreed with Guo Jia's plan very much.

"I am not familiar with the talents under my lord's command, so I don't want to recommend anyone. If the lord doesn't dislike it, I will go there. After all, when I join the lord's command, I always have to show my talents."

Guo Jia didn't know much about Liu Zheng's subordinates' strategists and officials, and he really didn't know much about it, so he could only recommend him to go there.

Of course, the more important thing is that Guo Jiachu joins Liu Zheng's army and wants to perform well in front of Liu Zheng.

Although Liu Zheng knew Guo Jia's ability, Guo Jia didn't know how Liu Zheng knew his ability, so only by making some contributions in front of Liu Zheng could Guo Jia become famous.

"You go in person for Fengxiao?"

"Well, I just have a small request to go with filial piety?"

“What are the requirements?”

"If Fengxiao can help the lord get this done, can the lord give you more Sanliangye wine?"

Liu Zheng thought Guo Jia would make what kind of request, but he didn't expect that Guo Jia would ask him for fine wine.

"Hahaha, Fengxiao, you are such a drunkard. Didn't I promise to give you three jars just now?"

"Those three jars are not enough for me to drink in a month."

Guo Jia immediately said disdainfully, and he liked Liu Zheng’s wine even more and more.

"Okay, okay, I promise you that as long as you can make Yuan Shao and Lu Zhi fight again, I will reward you with three more jars of fine wine, how about it?"

"Is it only three o'clock?"

"Three jars are quite a lot, but I don't have much on hand. At worst, how about the three jars of wine I'll replace it with two-year-old wine?"

Liu Zheng's words immediately made Guo Jia's eyes lit up.

"That's great!"

After such a harmonious conversation, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia talked all night long.

Halfway through, Cai Yao came to see her several times. When she saw Liu Zheng and Guo Jia having a very happy chat, she couldn't bear to disturb her. In this way, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia kept chatting.

I know it's dark and bright again.

Only then did Liu Zheng and Guo Jia feel a little tired.

Liu Zheng asked Guo Jia to stay in the mansion for the time being, and then he went down to rest.

A few days later, Liu Zheng began to prepare as Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia first stayed in Wujun for two months, and became familiar with the situation on Liu Zheng's side. He got to know Liu Zheng's side colleagues.

It’s not that I don’t know each other at all. At least Gu Yong knows Guo Jia under Liu Zheng, so he is an old acquaintance.

It’s just that Guo Jia is not very familiar with other strategists under Liu Zheng.

In fact, Liu Zheng doesn’t have many advisers now.

In addition to the earliest Xu You and Yuan Zhou, there were Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng who were recruited in Xuzhou later.

Zhang Zhao was more inclined to manage internal affairs, while Chen Deng led the troops to fight.

In fact, Yuan Zhou is the only one who can really give advice around Liu Zheng. Yuan Zhou is now too busy to take over the Jinyiwei, so Liu Zheng has only Xu You.

However, Xu You still has some insufficient realm in many things, and Liu Zheng is still lacking a top strategist.

Then this guy Guo Jia is almost the most suitable character.

October.

The golden autumn wind ripped the crops in the fields. Because of the plague, this year was not a bumper year.

In Qingzhou, there have been many wars. Most of the people in Qingzhou were moved to Yangzhou by Liu Zheng. The population was short of large numbers, so naturally there were not many crops to harvest.

After occupying Qingzhou, Yuan Shao's troops did loot some food and grass, but the two largest and richest counties, Beihai County and Donglai County, were under the control of Lu Zhi.

Yuan Shao died tens of thousands of people, but he did not get enough benefits.

Yuan Shao was not willing to do so, so after harvesting the food and grass, he sent someone to contact Lu Zhi, wanting to discuss with Lu Zhi and ask Beihai County and Donglai County to come from Lu Zhi.

After all, Qingzhou is in Yuan Shao's hands, and it is not the same as Lu Zhi's occupation of Beihai and Donglai.

The person on the mission was naturally Guo Tu, a negotiator under Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu went to Xuzhou on behalf of Yuan Shao, met Lu Zhi, and made his own request. As Guo Jia expected, Yuan Shao wanted to take Beihai and Donglai, but Lu Zhi refused on the spot.

If these two counties were given to Yuan Shao, they would make Yuan Shao more powerful. Now Yuan Shao has occupied Youzhou and Jizhou. If Beihai and Donglai were given to Yuan Shao, An and Qingzhou would also be given to Yuan Shao for free.

Yuan Shao, who occupied three prefectures, further strengthened his power. At that time, he would raise another Liu Zheng, so Lu Zhi naturally would not want to see this happen.

What's more, Jizhou and Youzhou are good places for producing horses. After Yuan Shao occupied this place, his cavalry became more and more powerful, which made Lu Zhi even more afraid.

Lu Zhi not only directly rejected Guo Tu, but also directly told Yuan Shao that Liu Zheng was their enemy. Liu Zheng had not yet been eliminated, so what's the use of talking about these things? Let Guo Tu go back and order Yuan Shao to send troops to Yangzhou together to deal with Liu Zheng.

Lu Zhi was like this, originally wanted to borrow the main contradiction of Liu Zheng to divert Yuan Shao's attention, but in Guo Tu's eyes, this guy Lu Zhi didn't want to give Beihai and Donglai, but just wanted to deceive Yuan Shao to attack Liu Zheng in Yangzhou.

Guo Tu left Xuzhou angrily. After returning to Qingzhou, he told Yuan Shao the news directly. Yuan Shao was furious when he heard it.

However, due to the fact that both sides were still in alliance, Yuan Shao did not immediately break up with Lu Zhi.
