As soon as Tian Chou left the camp, Guo Tu asked Yuan Tan to rush to Yuan Shao's tent to report.
This news is very important and must be confirmed as soon as possible to avoid Yuan Shao suspecting that the Ru Ying people are secretly contacting him again.
Although they were indeed connected, Xun You didn't leak any news about this operation.
Yuan Shao was discussing matters in the tent, discussing how to attack Yijing. The tent was full of civil and military generals, and they were talking lively. Some of the powerful men newly attached to northern Hebei were the most motivated, vying to be the first to take on the main offensive task.
Yuan Tan glanced at it and saw his second brother Yuan Xi sitting aside with a rosy face, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.
I don’t know what this younger brother thinks. Are the people of Jizhou so trustworthy? Even Yuan Shao is influenced by them. Even if you succeed to the throne in the future, you will still be a puppet.
Of course, judging from the current situation, you are more likely to be the first offender.
After gaining the support of the people in northern Hebei, Yuan Shao had sufficient troops available, and Yuan Tan's task became to monitor Xian Yufu and others. Recently, because of Qu Yi's resignation, Yuan Shao was even more dissatisfied with Yuan Tan, so the meeting did not allow him to
He came to attend. Seeing Yuan Tan come uninvited, he was very unhappy and looked at Yuan Tan coldly.:.
Seeing Yuan Shao like this, everyone else was no exception and sat motionless. Only a few people paid attentive greetings to Yuan Tan.
Under the gaze of countless people, Yuan Tan quickly stepped forward, whispered in Yuan Shao's ear, and told him the news he had just heard.
Yuan Shao frowned and glanced at Yuan Tan. "Seriously?"
"It's just a rumor, so..." Yuan Tan hesitated deliberately. "I want to use Tian Chou's words to test Xun You's truth."
Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and waved his hand, indicating that Yuan Tan could leave.
Yuan Tan bowed and bowed again, and left without looking back. Yuan Shao didn't want him to stay here, and he didn't want to stop here and be treated as a joke.
After leaving the tent, he hurried out of the camp, mounted his horse, and headed straight for his camp.
Yuan Shaoqiang finished the meeting calmly, arranged the offensive for the next day, and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
The generals dispersed, but Tian Feng and Jushu stayed behind. Yuan Shao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Yuan Hao, Gong Yu, and Xun You may want to attack the Xianbei tribes in the east and force the Wuhuan people to express their stance."
Just now Yuan Tan came, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou knew that something was going on. Even so, they were still shocked by the news.
Tian Feng said: "Who said this?"
"Tian Chou heard some rumors and was worried that Xu Wushan's township party would be disturbed, so he came here to ask whether they were true or false." Yuan Shao thought for a while and then said: "But these should be excuses. I guess it is Xun You who contacted Yan Rou, and Yan Rou
Rou told Tian Chou, hoping that Tian Chou would persuade Liu He to surrender to the imperial court."
"My lord, what you said makes sense, and it should be so." Tian Feng agreed: "I feel that Xun You is bluffing. He oversees three counties, with about 30,000 foot soldiers and cavalry, as well as some tribes from Xianbei in the central part. But Xianbei in the central part is newly attached,
It may not be possible to use it, and fighting against Xianbei in the east is even more suspected of defection, so I may not dare to use it. To force the people of Youzhou to express their stance and prevent the lord from going all out may be the real purpose."
"If this is the case, how should we deal with it?" Yuan Shao was a little angry. If the Youzhou people made it clear that they wanted to surrender to the court, he would not only lose 20,000 to 30,000 troops, but also leave some people to monitor Liu He and Xian Yufu to prevent
The elbows and armpits have changed. As a result, the apparently sufficient troops will be stretched thin.
Xun You released a piece of news, leaving him passive. What would happen if the emperor moved eastward?
Yuan Shao was extremely anxious. He must capture Gongsun Zan and guard the northern gate of Jizhou before the emperor marched eastward.
"Liu Yu won the hearts of Hu Han, killed Gongsun Zan, avenged Liu Yu, and complied with the public opinion of Youzhou. It was a righteous act. Xun You wanted to use this to provoke him, but he would not succeed. My lord might as well make an agreement with Liu He to kill Gongsun Zan and then let him go.
Go to relieve the knot in your heart."
Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Tian Feng in surprise.
Let Liu He go?
Gu/span>Facing Yuan Shao's gaze, Tian Feng said: "Can my lord kill Liu He?"
Yuan Shao shook his head without thinking. How could he kill Liu He at this time? Wouldn't that force Youzhou people to join forces with Xun You?
"Since he can't be killed and can't be used, why not fulfill his wish? When we meet on the battlefield in the future, each will fight again based on his ability. Does the Lord think that the gains and losses of Liu He alone can affect the overall situation?"
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment. He admitted that Tian Feng was right, but he was still unwilling to let Liu He leave. If he let Liu He go, would he also let Qu Yi go?
He turned to look at Jushu, who had been silent. "Gongyu, what do you have in mind?"
Jushu remained motionless.
Yuan Shao raised his voice and shouted again. Jushou was startled, and then he came back to his senses. He quickly straightened up, bowed and said, "My lord, I just suddenly thought of a way and was distracted for a moment."
"What can I do?"
"The great victory of Emperor Xiu's slaughter of Ze shocked the world. Xun You took this opportunity to threaten Youzhou. It was difficult to resist it from the front. It was better to retreat in order to avoid its sharp edge. After waiting for a year and a half, people's hearts were exhausted, and the lord took advantage of this opportunity.
Defeat Yijing, kill Gongsun Zan, and thank the Hu Han in Youzhou, and the momentum will naturally recover."
Yuan Shao's brows twitched and he said with some reluctance: "Tell me carefully."
"I think that my lord might as well send a letter to the court to congratulate the emperor for his achievements, and ask for an imperial edict to lead Hebei and Han Dynasties to seek help from Gongsun Zan."
Yuan Shao stroked his beard and paced back and forth, hesitating.
As far as the current situation is concerned, what Jushou said is indeed a solution. Zhang Xi has been in contact with him, hoping that he can submit himself to the court and even join the government. If he is willing to step back, the status issue will be solved.
There were enough reasons to attack Gongsun Zan, and the people of Youzhou had no choice but to obey the order.
If Gongsun Zan is captured, the situation will change significantly. It will not be easy for the emperor to transfer him away from Jizhou.
The only question is in what capacity should he submit the letter, the governor of Bohai?
Seeing that Yuan Shao was silent, Jushou said again: "My lord has been in Jizhou for seven years and has won the hearts of the people in Jizhou. With a single order, he can recruit one hundred thousand elite soldiers. Regardless of whether the court is willing or not, the people of Jizhou will follow the lord's lead.
Why care about a temporary fame? After defeating Gongsun Zan, my lord is so powerful in Yan and Zhao, who can replace him? By then, my lord will be sitting in Youji, with Yanyu Qingxu across the river, half of the world, and a king without a king."
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and understood Ju Shou's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh.
Tian Feng also reacted and secretly raised his thumb to Ju Shou.
The young man is terrible, but Ju Shou's reaction is quick. He really didn't expect this.
To solve Yuan Shao's current predicament, we need to open up our minds. If Yuan Shao can take a step back and temporarily show weakness to the court, he can not only get out of the predicament, but also allow the people of Jizhou to take a step forward.
Yuan Shao was in charge of Hebei, who was guarding the south of the river? Of course he was from Jizhou.
The judge must be the well-deserved Yanzhou Mu. If possible, Qingzhou can also be included in the bag. As for Youzhou, if Liu He is willing to stand with Yuan Shao, there is no harm in handing it to Liu He. If Liu He refuses, then
The people of Jizhou had no choice but to accept it.
"I think this plan is very good." Tian Feng agreed.
Yuan Shao was a little depressed. After thinking for a long time, he nodded helplessly.
