Naturally, he could see clearly that the various parties in the hall were restraining each other and seemed to be in harmony, but sooner or later they would turn against each other and take action.
The reason why there has not been a fight yet is because of the foreign enemy Li Jue and Guo Si.
Nowadays, all parties are smart and know that engaging in internal fighting without eliminating foreign enemies will only benefit outsiders, so for the time being, there is still harmony on the surface.
This was the case for Dong Cheng, Yang Ding, Yang Feng and Han Xian. Originally, the Baibo Army came to the rescue and had already pushed back the Liangzhou Army. However, Yang Ding and Duan Xuan, who came to the rescue, had old grudges, so they framed Duan Xuan for rebellion. At the same time, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng attacked each other.
, causing many factions within the Emperor's convoy, and was defeated by the Liangzhou Army who returned.
So now around the fight for Liu Xie, Dong Cheng and Yang Ding are one faction, General Bai Bo is another faction, Cao Cao is another faction, and Lu Bu's Youzhou coalition is another faction. No one among these four parties dares to make the first move, lest others take advantage of them.
So the four parties seemed to have reached a tacit consensus to deal with the foreign enemy Liangzhou Army first, and then discuss the distribution of internal benefits.
Of course, Dong Zhao is 100% certain that there will be a bloody storm in the future, and someone will not even wait until Li Jue and Guo Si are completely eliminated, but someone will start preparing to take action!
At this time, no matter whether it is true or false, you must take a side, or at least show your attitude, otherwise, you may not even be able to save your life!
Thinking of what Yuan Xi had said, everything must be done with the premise of preserving one's own life. Dong Zhao stood up and said: "Shilang Zhong's words are reasonable. The one who is in charge of the central army is none other than Duke Cao, Marquis of Wen."
"But how to lure Li Jue and Guo Si to attack is also a problem. They have been much more cautious after suffering losses last time. Now it is not easy to lure them into taking the bait."
Xun You heard this and said, "It's not difficult."
"Just send people to pretend to surrender."
"If the Liangzhou army thinks that they have an internal response in the city, they will surely attack with confidence. When the time comes, our main force will come out and we will be able to destroy them."
After hearing this, all the officials praised: "This is a great plan!"
Ju Shuo Xin Dao was originally a good plan, but now it has gone awry. How could anyone publicly talk about such a thing as false surrender?
Maybe a spy would tell Li Jue and Guo Si in less than a day. Of course, it's also possible that Xun You said that deliberately to catch the big fish in a long-term way?
But in this case, the risk of fishing bait is very high. Who is willing to be the one who pretends to surrender?
Sure enough, Xun You said: "Those who pretend to surrender must have an old relationship with Li Jue and Guo Si before they can take the bait."
Jushou was startled and couldn't help but look at Lu Bu. Zhang Liao was standing behind him.
There are old ones with the Liangzhou Army. Isn't it just Lu Bu and Zhang Liao who belong to the Bingzhou generals?
After working on it for a long time, is this the attacker's idea to weaken Lu Bu?
He knew he had to speak out, so he said: "Although it is a good strategy to pretend to surrender, we must be careful to prevent the other party from taking advantage of it and using it against us."
"Attracting the other party is just a means, the ultimate goal is to fight the other party decisively."
"In this case, if the emperor's chariot sets out to leave, the other party will definitely be anxious and come over to catch up. At this time, cooperating with the fake surrender can have a miraculous effect."
Yang Biao heard this and said, "This plan is a great one."
"An attack on the Liangzhou Army may not guarantee victory. If defeated again, the emperor will still be trapped in the city."
"On the contrary, if the Emperor's convoy sets off early and leaves the main force to set up an ambush and wait for work, the chance of winning will be greater."
"Even if we are defeated, we can still spare no effort to escort the emperor to escape."
"If we can escape to the territory of the anti-Dong Kwantung Allied Forces, the Liangzhou Army's expedition will not dare to go deep into the hinterland and will have to retreat. Then we can break the siege of the Emperor's chariots."
After hearing this, all the officials realized that this idea was more complete and reliable than the previous plan to feign surrender, and they couldn't help but praise it.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy. He originally wanted to temporarily unite the four parties, take the power of mobilization himself, wait for opportunities to weaken the power of others, and then suddenly launch an attack to kill them all.
If you are commanding your own Central Army, you only need to let the Youzhou Army and Baibo Bandits fight head-on with the Liangzhou Army. Then you can find a way to get rid of Lu Bu's subordinate Zhang Liao, leaving Lu Bu with nothing, how can you still resist yourself?
But unexpectedly, the strategy proposed by Xun You was gently resolved by Ju Shou. The other party directly suggested that the emperor drive away and let the main force break the rear. Was he being taken advantage of?
When the time comes, he blocks Li Jue and Guo Si, and Zhao Yun directly takes Liu Xie hostage and escapes. Will he not draw water from a bamboo basket in vain?
What is hateful is that Yang Biao is also helping. Could it be that he has secretly colluded with the Youzhou Army?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at Dong Cheng and winked. Dong Cheng understood and stood up and said: "I am responsible for escorting the Emperor's chariot, but I don't know where to go?"
After everyone heard this, they started arguing among several destinations, and things were back to the original point.
When Cao Cao saw it, he sneered in his heart. No matter where he went, Dong Cheng would take the emperor's chariot and run towards Xuchang!
Because Dong Cheng had surrendered to him, even though he was capricious, the two sides still needed to join forces before he could completely eliminate the power of the Baibo Army, so Cao Cao was not too worried about this.
He looked at the officials arguing in the hall and sneered in his heart, "I'll let you dance around for a few more days. As long as I defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, my plans over the past few years will begin to reveal their greatness!"
After defeating the remaining forces and bringing the emperor to Xuchang, it will be time for him to reshuffle the court.
When the time comes, using the emperor to command the princes of the world will be the first step to conquer the world!
Several parties had their own agendas, and as a result, the day passed without any progress in the court. Finally, they reached a consensus that they would fight a war first, and if the war went unfavorably, they would then discuss retreat.
A storm is coming to Anyi City, and those who can see the danger within it have already felt the huge sense of oppression. However, in Huai City hundreds of miles away, it is a different scene now.
Yuan Xizheng and Zhang Yang had a very pleasant conversation. The two of them were not talking about military affairs, but about farming.
As a warrior from Bingzhou, Zhang Yang had once served as a military general, but this did not seem to fit his character, so he came to Hanoi and started farming.
When Yuan Xi and Zhang Yang met, he didn't know that the other party actually regarded farming as a hobby. He originally thought that because he had made Huaicheng like this, he would be jealous of Zhang Yang. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't take it seriously and just said: "Look."
Wrong Yang Chou.
Later, Yuan Xi learned that Yang Chou had a very bad relationship with another subordinate of Zhang Yang, Sui Gu. Yang Chou was killed, playing into Sui Gu's hands. He said a lot of bad things about Yang Chou that he had brought upon himself.
Zhang Yang has a soft ear, and he has a character that tolerates previous rebellions by his subordinates, so he doesn't care much about Yuan Xi killing his own generals.
When the two met, it was just a polite exchange. Zhang Yang accidentally asked why the grains sent by Youzhou a few days ago were larger than those grown in Hanoi.
Yuan Xi listened and replied casually, because this new batch of grain was indeed better than the previous one.
Its farming methods were combined with the theoretical farming methods collected by Chen Deng and agricultural books compiled by Cai Zhaoji. From the sowing depth to the time, from the irrigation intervals to the local soil conditions, all improvements were made.
As soon as Yuan Xi opened his mouth, Zhang Yang understood that this fierce tiger knew a lot about farming!
He was busy farming in Hanoi, but because there were not many nobles under his command who knew how to farm, he relied entirely on the weather. When he heard Yuan Xi's theory, he felt enlightened and he kept asking Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi never thought that Zhang Yang would have such a hobby. He was still thinking about how to get closer to the other person, but he didn't expect that he would open a breakthrough from farming!
He told Zhang Yang about the possibility of building water conservancy projects and intercropping rice and wheat, which shocked Zhang Yang. When he wanted to ask more questions, Yuan Xi changed the topic and told Zhang Yang about his own charity school in Youzhou.
Yuan Xi said: "Youzhou's grain harvest is good this year. First, it is building water conservancy. Second, there is sufficient labor. And another very important point is that Youzhou's voluntary studies have taught many officials and people who have read agricultural books thoroughly and are specialized in farming.
"
"Under their leadership, Youzhou has improved a lot from the production of agricultural tools to the selection of seeds."
"If the prefect is interested, I can send some people over to impart relevant knowledge."
After hearing this, Zhang Yang was overjoyed and said: "Young Master is really a timely help!"
"If Master can really send people over, I will definitely give them a satisfactory position!"
He immediately sighed: "There are many nobles in Hanoi, and many people know how to farm. Unfortunately, they all look down on my background. There are very few people who are really willing to serve, so my current situation is quite difficult."
Yuan Xi thought to himself that this was the benefit brought by his background. As a descendant of a wealthy family, scholars naturally had a strong admiration for families whose background was higher than their own, and it was relatively easy to gain their support.
However, people like Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, who came from a grassroots background, were despised by the scholars. Even if they took refuge, they were reluctant and their loyalty was greatly reduced.
He smiled and said: "The governor is dedicated to serving the people. He is much better than those hypocritical scholars. Why bother with this."
The two were chatting happily, but Sui Gu, who was sitting next to Zhang Yang, was not in a good mood.
He and Yang Chou have a close relationship, but this is also an internal problem in Montenegro, but the fierce tiger of the Yuan family in front of him wants to destroy Heishan!
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, "It's so pretentious!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yang hurriedly said to Yuan Xi: "My subordinates have an upright temperament, so don't blame me."
Yuan Xi glanced at Sui Gu in confusion, wondering who was this black man like an iron tower?
Why are you so hostile to yourself?
After Zhang Yang explained, Yuan Xi finally understood that this was Sui Gu, who had been the leader of Heishan. He had named Yudu Bairao and called them the three generals of Heishan. However, Yudu was killed by Yuan Shao's troops, and Bairao attacked Beigu.
Xincheng was killed by Zhao Yun, no wonder he hated himself.
Yuan Xi said to Sui Gu: "I heard that the general is from Jicheng?"
Sui Gu snorted coldly, "So what?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Now that Jicheng is the seat of my government in Youzhou, who else does the general want me to take care of?"
Sui Gu muttered: "No need, who knows what you are worried about, life must be miserable there now!"
Yuan Xi laughed and said, "I disagree with what the general said."
"At least there, although I can't guarantee that everyone will have enough to eat every meal, the bottom line is that they won't starve to death. They can still be seven to eighty percent full with two meals a day."
"Looking at the world today, I'm afraid there are not many places that can do it?"
Sui Gu said disdainfully: "How is it possible? It's empty talk and anyone can brag."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Then I will make a bet with the general."
"General, you can go and see for yourself. If what I say is false, how about I give the general a city?"
Seeing that Yuan Xi was speaking so confidently, Sui Gu did not dare to respond. He only said: "You are living so well over there, why are you still going to fight in Montenegro?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "But the people who escaped from Heishan can have enough to eat from Youzhou."
"With all due respect, the general only treats the people of Montenegro as tools for fighting, right?"
"Fart!" Sui Gu couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up, "I'm different from them!"
Yuan Xi nodded, "I know, otherwise the general would not have left the Black Mountain Army and followed the prefect to farm in Hanoi."
Sui Gu choked and said dullly: "How did you know?"
A large number of civilian soldiers from Montenegro fled to Youzhou. Yuan Xi incorporated the best of them into the Youzhou army. He obtained a lot of information about the Montenegro army. Naturally, he knew the generals of Heishan very well. Among them was Sui Gu. This man was not bad enough.
It can still be used in the future.
The only miscalculation in the Montenegro Army intelligence collected by Yuan Xi was the rather mysterious Yang Feng.
His hatred for himself and his inexplicable martial arts skills puzzled Yuan Xi.
Yang Feng and the leader of the Black Mountain Army have completely different behavior styles, and they feel like they are not from the same group at all!
