"Lord." In the lobby, Jushou looked at the direction Zhen Yao left, and suddenly turned to Yuan Shao and said: "I heard that Chen Gongtai had conquered Duan Xuan, Liang Xing, Li Kan, Candidate, and Cheng Yin after arriving in Guanzhong.
Four Generals, and according to what the Second Young Master said, the eldest son of Ma Teng had a good relationship with Chu Nan in the secret realm of Xinzheng."
Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this. He was not concerned about Chen Gong's progress in Guanzhong. Guanzhong has been in chaos for so many years, and no one has been able to integrate the many forces in Guanzhong. Although Chen Gong is a great scholar, the great scholar refers to a kind of
In the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, his magical powers are just more powerful than those of ordinary Confucians, but it does not mean that Chen Gong can be superior to others in other aspects.
Then he felt something in his heart and looked at Jushou and then at the others: "If I remember correctly, the daughter of the Zhen family is in Xuchang now!"
This thing is actually not a secret, but Yuan Shao didn't want to start a war between the two major forces because of a woman, and Chu Nan's subsequent performance also satisfied Yuan Shao. Many people in the Yuan family were rewarded, so this matter was revealed.
In the past, it was just a woman. To ordinary people, it was a great shame and humiliation. But to people like them, women also had a price. As long as the price was enough and as long as it was not exposed openly, they could pretend they didn't know.
.
However, after that, the Zhen family's status in Jizhou and Youzhou naturally plummeted, and it never regained its former glory.
Now that Zhen Yao has come to offer advice, it can be seen that he wants to revitalize the Zhen family, but from another perspective, why not find another way to help Chu Nan defeat Yuan Shao, which is also a road to revitalization, and it is easier.
.
After all, his sister has become Chu Nan's woman. If Chu Nan succeeds in the future, the benefits she will get will be much greater than what she got from Yuan Shao.
Everyone nodded silently. This was a family scandal of the Yuan family. As a minister, it would be better for the lord to be less involved in the family affairs. This would not be a taboo no matter which faction he belonged to.
"Come here, go and capture that Zhen Yao!" Yuan Shao's face darkened. Now the Zhen family dared to plot against him!?
"Wait!" Tian Feng and Xu You took a step at the same time, then frowned and looked at each other.
Xu You took the lead and said, "Lord, why don't you just follow the plan?"
"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You.
"The chaotic Guanzhong is not terrible, but if Chen Gong unites the generals in Guanzhong, it will indeed pose a threat to our army, but what if the generals in Guanzhong side with the lord?" Xu You finished speaking, proudly.
He glanced at Tian Feng who was silent.
The chaotic Guanzhong is naturally not scary. The generals in Guanzhong are involved with each other. Even if Chen Gong persuades the five families, as long as the other six families are not equal, Chen Gong cannot use these five forces to fight against Yuan Shao.
But if these warlords in Guanzhong unite, they will be a powerful force that neither Yuan Shao nor Chu Nan can ignore.
"And if we can take this opportunity to keep Chen Gong in Guanzhong forever, we can cut off Chu Nan's arm before the war begins!" Xu You said with a smile.

"So..." Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zi Yuan wants to borrow the power of the Zhen family?"
"Yes, we can send people to enter the Zhen family caravan in the name of supervision. First, we can see what Zhen Yao is planning to do, and then secretly instigate one or two people to rebel. The generals in Guanzhong are not very kind and heavy on profits. As long as they give enough benefits, they may not be unable to do so first.
Help the lord take Guanzhong." Xu You nodded and smiled.
After listening to Xu You's plan, Yuan Shao temporarily suppressed his anger. If he could recruit the generals from Guanzhong under his command and jointly attack Chunan, his chances of winning would indeed be greatly increased.
After this series of tests, Yuan Shao no longer dares to underestimate Chu Nan. Today, Chu Nan is like a giant lying in the Central Plains, watching Hebei with eager eyes, waiting for the best opportunity.
And Yuan Shao is also waiting for an opportunity to make Chu Nan irreversible.
Guanzhong may be a good breakthrough point.
Then he looked at the crowd and said, "Who is willing to take on this responsibility?"
"I am not talented, but I am willing to go to Guanzhong on behalf of my lord!" A person from the hall came out and bowed to Yuan Shao.
Everyone looked and saw that it was Xin Pi.
Xu You said with a smile: "Zuo Zhi's strategy is unparalleled. With his planning, he can compete with Chen Gongtai!"
Xin Bin is the younger brother of Xin Ping. When Xin Ping was killed by Chu Nan in the Black Mountain Army, and the Xin family's ancestral property was confiscated by Chu Nan, he naturally hated Chu Nan deeply. Now that he has the opportunity to take revenge on Chu Nan
, Xinpi naturally did his part.
"With Zuo Zhi here, I have nothing to worry about." When Yuan Shao saw Xin Pi, he smiled and nodded. He was obviously quite relieved about Xin Pi's ability.
"My lord, Chen Gong is a great scholar in the world. He is also proficient in the art of war and strategy. He has been operating in Guanzhong for many days. It may be difficult for him to do this with just one person." Xin Pi saluted Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao nodded, looked at Xin Pi and said, "Zuo Zhi has any requests, but it doesn't matter."
"Can the senior governor of Bingzhou mobilize troops and horses to help at the critical moment?" Xin Pi bowed and said.
Bingzhou is adjacent to Guanzhong, and the senior cadres are also quite talented. If they can get help from senior cadres, Xinpi will not fight alone.
"Yes." Yuan Shao nodded, thought for a while and said: "In addition, Luan Tihu Chuquan was able to ascend to the position of Shanyu in the first place because of the help of our army. I remember that he is also in Bingzhou. If Zuo Zhi needs it, he can
Contact this person and mobilize the Xiongnu tribe to help."
"Thank you, Lord!" Xinpi nodded. The Southern Xiongnu can now be regarded as a vassal force of Yuan Shao to a certain extent. They can indeed be used when necessary.
"In addition, it would be best to have a general to cooperate with Zuo Zhi." Xu You suggested.
this……
When it comes to this, Yuan Shao is a little hesitant. Everything else is easy to talk about, but the generals have to stay and deal with Chu Nan or Lu Bu at any time. There are many generals in Jizhou, including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Han Meng,
Le Jin and so on, but these people are now confronting the Chunan forces, or staying in Yecheng to ensure Yuan Shao's safety. No matter who they are sent to, Yuan Shao will disrupt the existing deployment.
"Father, my boy has a powerful general named Guo Yuan. He is skilled in the art of war and has courage that no man can match. This man should be able to help Mr. Zuo Zhi!" Yuan Shang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and recommended Yuan Shao.
.
Guo Yuannai was a powerful general recruited by Yuan Shang. He was of high origin and was a well-known general.
He has a good family background and strong abilities. Among the young generation, he is considered an outstanding general.
Yuan Shao stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine, what do Zuo Zhi think?"
"Thank you, sir!" Xin Pi said politely to Yuan Shang.
After everyone discussed it again, Yuan Shao immediately approved the documents for Xin Pi, named him the governor of Liangzhou, and ordered him to leave as soon as possible to Guanzhong to take charge of the overall situation.
After Xinbi thanked Yuan Shao, he set off for Bingzhou that day, intending to communicate with the senior officials first and transfer some troops to the vicinity of Guanzhong, ready to take action at any time.
At the same time, on the other side, Xiliang and Jincheng.
Han Sui looked at the letter sent by Chen Gong and sighed silently.
"Father-in-law, why are you sighing?" Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying came in and asked suspiciously when they saw Han Sui sighing.
"Guanzhong will soon change hands." Han Sui moved his stiff body, looked at his son-in-law and close advisers, and said with a wry smile.
"My lord, why did you say this?" Cheng Gongying asked in confusion.
"Ma Teng has promised Chen Gong to raise troops to fight against the thieves." Han Sui thought about the benefits he could get from this matter, and mused: "The Ma family has always been prestigious in Xiliang. He agreed like this, plus Duan Yan, Liang Xing
The others have been taken under the command of Chen Gong, and the situation has been established. If we do not agree, we may be attacked by Chen Gong and several forces together!"
"Then there are Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, and Ma Wan who haven't agreed yet. These people have always been on good terms with my father-in-law." Yan Xing said solemnly.
"But this will lead to a melee in Guanzhong. The other side has the support of the imperial court. It will not be beneficial to our army if we continue to fight like this." Han Sui shook his head. Although these people were close to him, he knew very well that none of them had good moral character.
It’s really reliable. As long as the benefits are sufficient, they will definitely turn around and attack themselves. At that time, it will be one family against ten others!
You will definitely not be able to defeat him. Escape...his foundation is here, where can he escape to?
In this case, the best choice for you is to join them, get some benefits from the court first, and then see the situation. If the situation is not right, then immediately pull people to rebel. If Chu Nan can really defeat Yuan Shao, rely on Chu Nan.
It might not be a way out.
However, what Chen Gong and Ma Teng said is not completely correct. The New Deal is indeed beneficial to the current Guanzhong gentry, but it is not beneficial to them, the Guanzhong warlords.
First of all, they have to hand over their military power. This is a price that other nobles do not need to pay. And after losing their military power, what will happen to them in the future depends entirely on the court?
However, these words cannot be said, at least not now, otherwise it will offend Chen Gong. Now Guanzhong has been taken by Chen Gong during this period of time. Now the other party is gaining momentum. Although the legendary millions of stones of food and grass are
I haven't taken it out yet, but at least I can see the food now.
Before everyone had doubts about the millions of grain and grass, Han Sui would do no good to himself even if he exposed the matter.
Everything must be done according to the trend. Now that Chen Gong is powerful, it is better to follow the opponent's trend first, and wait until the other party's trend is exhausted, then it is time to see the truth.
"Father-in-law, do you think Chen Gong can really afford millions of stones of food and grass?" Yan Xing suddenly asked.
"What do you think?" Han Sui did not answer, but gave an ambiguous rhetorical question.
The battle between Yuan and Chu is already imminent. At this time, no matter how rich Chu Nan is, it is impossible for him to devote millions of grain and grass to this battle.
Those two hundred thousand stones of food and grass were probably all Chu Nan could give Chen Gong.
Now Han Sui didn't want to confront Chen Gong head-on. He had to wait until the effect of the two hundred thousand stones gradually faded away and people's emotions improved before Han Sui took advantage of the situation.
As for what to do then, it depends on who has the upper hand in the dispute between Chu Nan and Yuan Shao.
Of course, it is one thing to ask Han Sui to support him, but it is another thing to ask him to bleed.
Seeing that his son-in-law was still thinking about this, Han Sui stood up and said, "Okay, don't think about this. Come with me to meet this great scholar."
