"Therefore, turtles have rampant traps, but foxes and raccoon dogs cannot be fowled; vipers have stings, so people should avoid them lightly."
Yuan Shao was handsome and majestic, and liked to hide his emotions and anger. No matter what he encountered, he could almost control his emotions very well. At this time, after hearing Jushuo, Guo Tu and others explain their plans, he just smiled faintly.
He smiled and looked very calm: "If you want to move your troops westward, you must solve the troubles on three sides. Now that the trouble in Chenliu County in the south has been dispatched, generals have been dispatched. As for Gongsun Zan in the east, especially in the north, how will you deal with it? Gentlemen.
Do you have any good ideas to teach me?"
Guo Tuli immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "Ming Gong has his own plan, why do you want to take another exam for us?"
Yuan Shao looked sideways at Guo Tu, then looked at Tian Feng and Jushou on the other side, and then said: "All the gentlemen are virtuous men, with great intelligence and outstanding strategies. How dare I test you all if I am not talented at all?"
Isn’t it ridiculous to be generous?”
Guo Tu, Tian Feng and others all smiled cooperatively. It was rare for monarchs and ministers to show such a harmonious and harmonious scene. Yuan Shao saw this with a proud smile on his face and said: "Lü Bu, first of all
He took refuge in Zhang Yang and was helpless. Now that the country has not abandoned him, he became General Anhan and guarded Beihai. There are many obstacles on the way east to Qingzhou. He has very few soldiers and may not be able to hold up the situation in Beihai. Think about it.
As a servant of the Han Dynasty, I have ordered Zang Ziyuan to prepare three thousand soldiers and horses, and dispatched ships to send Lu Bu eastward from the Yellow River. When he arrives in Pingyuan Kingdom, he will receive these three thousand soldiers and horses, and then he can go east
Enter Qingzhou."
Pingyuan is a county in the northwest of Qingzhou. It is separated from the Beihai Kingdom where Lu Bu took office by Tiankai, Qi State where Liu Bei is located, and Le'an County. If Lu Bu wants to get funding for these three thousand soldiers and horses, he must recognize Zang Hong's actions.
With the title of governor of Qingzhou and his promise to cooperate with Zang Hong, he attacked Qi State from east to west and completely wiped out the forces Gongsun Zan had installed in Qingzhou.
Moreover, if Lu Bu wants to successfully reach Beihai from the plains, he will face possible obstacles from Tian Kai along the way. At that time, Lu Bu will have to turn against Tian Kai and others and become one of Yuan Shao's thugs.
Guo Tu nodded and agreed: "I heard that Zhang Yang in Hanoi and Lu Bu were friends from the same hometown. Not only did he allow Lu Bu to recruit soldiers in Hanoi, he also allocated two thousand soldiers and horses, and some food and grass. This time, including the support of Ming Gong, Lu Bu
There are five to six thousand generals under my command. I heard that Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf general and a warrior in Bingzhou. If we go to Qingzhou, we will definitely be able to defeat Tian Kai and others in one fell swoop."
Tian Feng, on the other hand, said worriedly: "Lü Bu has a rough mind and is reckless and untamable. I'm afraid that he will be difficult to control in the future and become another trouble."
"Now the plains are in the hands of Zang Hong, Tian Kai, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have been cut off from communication, and they have become an isolated army." There seemed to be a sneer on Guo Tu's lips. He leaned over the table and looked at Tian who was sitting on the other side.
Feng laughed and said: "If there was no strategy to advance westward, we would never do this thing of eliminating tigers at the front door and letting in wolves at the back door. Naturally, we wanted Zang Ziyuan to lead his troops into Qilu and wipe out Qingzhou in one fell swoop. But now that the decision has been made from top to bottom.
Moving west to Bingzhou and east of the river, compared with these, a small Qingzhou is nothing. Why not temporarily entrust it to Lu Bu and let him and Gongsun Zan fight to the death, so that we can safely move westward.
"
In Guo Tu's eyes, Qingzhou was temporarily given to Lu Bu, just like in the false road attack on Guo, the Duke of Jin lent it to the State of Yu with the chariot of Qu Chuan and the wall of hanging thorns. Afterwards, the jade wall was intact and the horse was still there, but it was just
It's just a matter of time. Not only Beihai, Qi and other places, but also the plain where Zang Hong is located will be handed over to Lu Bu in the end. Otherwise, with Zang Hong standing in the way between Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan, it would be difficult for the two to conflict.
"As the governor of Qingzhou, Zang Ziyuan spent more than a year to finally capture the plains, but now he is allowed to abandon them easily." Tian Feng said: "I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied."
Zang Hong is the son of General Zang Min. He has a family background of 2,000 stones. He has always had great ambitions and a beautiful mind. When Dong Zhuo stole his life from a powerful official, it was through Zang Hong's contact that the officials from Guandong Prefecture gathered together to attack Dong Zhuo.
, Zang Hong was the sworn ally and the first person in charge of the Jujube Alliance. It was not until Yuan Shao started an uprising with Han Fu and others in Jizhou and the two parties merged that Yuan Shao gradually overtook Zang Hong with his family reputation and became the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao was generous on the outside but jealous on the inside. Although on the surface he always treated Zang Hong favorably and highly, and entrusted Qingzhou to him. But deep down in his heart, Yuan Shao still regarded Zang Hong as a man who had planned an alliance to conquer Dong.
Zang Hong was extremely jealous and even wary.
Now it happened that Lu Bu wanted to occupy Qingzhou and compete with Gongsun Zan. In order to deliberately show weakness and temporarily avoid the edge, Yuan Shao asked Zang Hong to abandon the plains and return to Yuan Shao's command. It became a matter of course.
Of course, no matter how suspicious of Zang Hong he was in private, Yuan Shao had to show his helplessness and respect for his talent in front of everyone: "For the sake of the westward expansion, we can only temporarily wrong him. After the Bingzhou is defeated,
I will make a separate request to the imperial court to appoint him as the governor of Bingzhou. In this case, it will not be regarded as a injustice to him."
"The Ming Gong is broad-minded and philanthropic, and he cares about the wise men, which really makes us admire him." He flattered him at the right time.
They are both scheming and deep-minded people. How could Yuan Shao's thoughts be hidden from the eyes of Guo Tu and Feng Ji? It's just that they saw through but didn't tell them. Even Tian Feng and Jushou were out of their own way, as well as those from Yuan Shao's camp.
Considering interests, it is extremely beneficial to suppress Zang Hong to a certain extent.
"Lü Bu is probably not as good as Gongsun Zan in terms of management or intelligence. I want him to fight Gongsun Zan in Qingzhou for at least several months, and to be able to contain or even secretly control his power to prevent him from being in great difficulty." Yuan Shao
He puffed up his sleeves, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and said, "There must be a perfect way."
"Lü Bu is brave but lacks resourcefulness. Why not let Ming Gong select one of his strategists to accompany Lu Bu's army?" Guo Tu said softly: "In this way, we can plan military strategies for Lu Bu and enable him to compete with Gongsun Zan.
After fighting for a long time, we can also monitor at all times and grasp the inside information so that our army can act more conveniently."
"Lu Bu is not a fool. He will be suspicious of anyone he sends. If he is alienated because of this, it will not be beautiful." Tian Feng said.
"Why don't you let Dong Gongren go?" The silent Jushou suddenly raised his head and said: "He is from Jiyin, familiar with the terrain of Qingzhou, and quite courageous and intelligent. In addition, his younger brother Dong Fang is currently in the army of Zhang Mansion, and Ming Ming
The feud between the Duke and Lord Zhang is well known to the world..."
Halfway through the words, Ju Shou suddenly stopped talking. He saw Yuan Shao's expression changed a bit immediately after hearing Zhang Miao. How could he not know that what he just said touched on the pain in the other person's heart. And doing so was tantamount to complete
Tear apart the remaining friendship between Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao, and let everyone in the world know how much Yuan Shao hated Zhang Miao.
"Let me pretend to blame Dong Gongren for this, so that he will run away in fear of the crime and look for Lu Bu to avoid trouble, thereby dispelling Lu Bu's worries and making him listen." Yuan Shao looked intently at the rain that was gradually stopping under the eaves, and did not seem to be worried about it.
Jushu was dissatisfied with what he just said.
But this look made Jushou feel even more worried.
For some reason, Yuan Shao suddenly lost interest in continuing the discussion. After saying a few words, he sent everyone off.
"Let's do it now."
Everyone walked to the door and suddenly heard Yuan Shao speak inexplicably. They all stopped and listened with bated breath.
Especially Jushou, who was slightly regretful at first, now his heart sank suddenly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ju, to tell Dong Gongren the details for me."
Jushou frowned, and then under the teasing gazes of Guo Tu and others, as well as the unclear gaze of Tian Feng, he agreed to the order.
After everyone left, Yuan Shao lowered his head and looked at the words he had just written again. In addition to the place names such as 'Bingzhou' and 'Hedong' that he wrote at the beginning, there were also 'Wang', 'Huang', and 'Zhong' on the paper.
'Wait for a few words.
He looked at the paper full of words, suddenly picked up the pen, and wrote the word "Xun" and the word "Ju" on it.
After thinking for a while, he wrote the word "Zhang Miao" correctly.
Yuan Shao looked at the newly written words and suddenly put down his pen. He seemed very dissatisfied. He stood up and picked up the inkstone filled with ink. He looked down at the person who had already walked downstairs and was walking out of the courtyard with everyone.
Tian Feng et al.
His eyes followed Jushu's figure all the way until Jushu's body disappeared behind the eaves and walls. Then he looked back and looked at the inkstone in his hand and the words on the paper.
Suddenly, Yuan Shao poured the inkstone out, and the thick ink immediately turned into dark raindrops, which fell to the ground with a crackle, becoming a large water stain that could not be washed away.
High in the attic, only one person could hear a long sigh, as if someone was muttering to himself, saying with regret: "What a waste of such good ink."
