"My lord's words are the best. However, the envoy from Yecheng sent back a letter from Dongwuyang. This Qu Yi has disappeared and is no longer in Jizhou!"
In the hall, a cold light flashed in Guo Tu's eyes, but his face was full of confusion.
This person was the mastermind behind both Tian Feng and Qu Yi. Tian Feng was from a noble family in Hebei Province, and Qu Yi led the army because of his strong recommendation from Jusao. His subordinates, including the dead soldiers from Jieqiao, were recruited from a noble family in Hebei Province.
To remove these two people is to remove Ju Suoyiyi, who is currently the most popular in Jizhou.
This matter was secretly supported by Yuan Benchu to balance the general situation in Jizhou, so the progress was extremely smooth.
Even if Qu Yi and Yijing were defeated, it was not the fault of the battle formation, but the failure of the grain supply. It is unknown how much effort Guo Tu and Xin Ping used in this.
When he learned that Qu Yi had escaped from Jizhou, Yuan Shao, who showed no emotion or anger, frowned.
"Not in Jizhou? Where are you now? Could it be that you were so worried that you threw yourself into the river to repay your lord?"
"My lord, no, my envoy followed this person until he arrived at Cao Mengde's location in Dongjun. Only then did he find out that Qu Yi was attached to Fang Guang, the prefect of Dongjun. He is now a school captain and is highly regarded by him!"
"Fang Guang, is that the wild warrior in yellow turban with the name of Qilin?"
"Yes, it is this person. He is quite famous in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou now!"
Guo Tu's teasing successfully brought out the anger that had been suppressed in Yuan Benchu's heart for several years.
"How noble is Qilin? Where is the reputation of the Yellow Turban traitor? The way of heaven is muddy, so what country people, horse archers, foot archers, and straw sandal sellers can also break into the palace and become known to the scholars?"
"Although Mengde's family background is flawed, he can still be regarded as a member of my family. How could he be allowed to become the prefect of Dongjun? How dare he interfere with my affairs in Hebei? It's ridiculous!"
Yuan Shao's voice was as loud as a bell, but he could not get angry easily. At this moment, he became angry. All the civil and military officials in Jizhou in the hall lowered their heads in panic.
Although Guo Tu was from the Yingchuan lineage, he was famous for being tough on Cao Cao. In the Battle of Guandu, it was this man who advocated the surprise attack on Xuchang.
Seeing that his lord was angry, he winked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Yuan Shao loved his general and couldn't help but stand up together.
"My lord, Cao Mengde doesn't distinguish between good and evil. I wonder how he can gain a foothold in Yanzhou without my lord's protection?"
"Dongjun is supposed to be my land in Jizhou, but please, my lord, send 3,000 elite soldiers and give them to me and Yan Liang to command. In just ten days, we can capture the yellow turban thieves and Yi Jing deserters to Yecheng and let them do whatever they want.
The lord handles it!"
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Tu and Xin Ping had close friendships. Both of them had beards and fierce faces.
Yuan Shao felt very happy when he saw his own thugs taking charge. He stroked his beard and began to ponder, thinking about Qu Yi.
On the side, Ju Shou looked bad. He was in the army, standing up to support Zhang He and Gao Lan. If Yan Liang and Wen Chou performed meritorious service again, I'm afraid Guo Tu's lineage would be even more powerful.
Jushou winked at the judge, who understood and stood up in a few steps.
"My lord, our Jizhou is in serious trouble, whether in the north or the south. If Gongsun Zan has a little chance to breathe, he can contact Xianbei, Wuhuan and Beihu to harass Jizhou and Qingzhou!"
"In my opinion, it is only right to destroy this person first in order to run Henan. I think Cao Mengde didn't know about Qu Yi's matter. My lord can write a letter and ask the yellow scarf boy to hand over Qu Yi, and the matter can be dropped!
"
"It's too weak. It takes several months to exchange letters. In this time, Jia Qi has already crossed the river to pick up people. This year, Yanzhou East County has saved a lot of beans and wheat!"
"How can a mere bean and wheat compare with the stability of the south of Jizhou? Only when Cao Cao is in the south can we advance northward!"
"My lord, Cao Cao is a very ambitious man. I think I should take advantage of the opportunity to give him a try!"
"Zhongzhi, my lord is promoting a benevolent and virtuous king. If he is so domineering, doesn't he make enemies of the princes in the world? Write a letter and be polite and courteous. Even if your majesty knows about it, you will still praise him!"
"Jushou, your Majesty, don't you want Zhang He to make a surprise attack on Guanzhong and bring back His Majesty? Why do you want to narrow the emperor to order the princes? Don't you know that this emperor is like a lump of coal and should not be touched lightly?"
"Zhongzhi, among the princes in the world, the lord is the most powerful. Even if it is a charcoal ball, only the lord can hold it in his hands!"
Yuan Shao sat down, and the Hebei and Yingchuan factions quarreled.
Among the two factions, Xu You, from Nanyang, touched the golden cake in his arms with a faint smile on his face.
Today's situation was within his expectation. In this way, the yellow turban boy was well-deserved for the hundred taels of red gold he sent.
Fang Guang is a bit young, but he was born in the Yellow Turban, and when he gives away things, he is ten times more generous than the children of the aristocratic family. Xu You likes this style.
It turned out that Fang Guang had captured Qu Yi and the Dongwuyang refugees, so he knew that he had to be wary of Yuan Shao.
As a man in his two lives, Yuan Benchu was extremely tolerant of internal taboos and good at making decisions. This guy cared about face and family status the most, which was Yuan Shao's true nature.
Counting the time, it will be a few years before my boss and Yuan Shao break the table.
Time is now favorable to the Yanzhou line, and Fang Guang is not willing to let the Hebei troops go south ahead of schedule because of himself.
Fang Guang knew very well that he could not reach Yuan Shao, but he also knew that Xu You, the greedy man who loved money as much as his life and was finally killed by Xu Chu, could reach Yuan Shao.
This guy is famous for getting paid to do things, and he has more integrity than the number gang.
At the time of Guandu, for three thousand stone salary, he resolutely circled the location of Wuchao and affected the world's climate!
In Dongjun, food is expensive and silver is cheap. One hundred taels of gold is worth it to make a friend.
Guan Hai was not in Dongjun to celebrate the New Year, but he came north to Yecheng with his cronies and gold. The money is now kept in the inner treasury of Xu You's house. Fang Guang even gave it to Jie Lue and the wretched Nanyang man how to deal with himself.
"Ahem!" Just when the two groups were quarreling, Xu You coughed twice and stood in front of Yuan Shao in a few steps.
"Mr. Jushou, Zhongzhi, don't be upset. I have a plan for the matter in Dongjun. I would also like to ask your lord to consider it together with you."
"Thinking about this strategy, firstly, Cao Cao is quite ambitious, and the lord needs to suppress it. This is reasonable, but I think, how can the ambition of an ant be compared with that of a dragon and a tiger? The lord is the most powerful person in the world!"
"After Cao Mengde was eunuched, the world's scholars despised him deeply. Hebei's famous scholars were ten times more famous than those in Yanzhou. This man was not worthy of his reputation. If my lord had been ruthless, he would have been talked about by the world, saying that my lord did not miss his old friendship with his colleague. Isn't that right?
Isn’t it beautiful?”
Xu You was very eloquent, and when he talked about things in Yanzhou, he actually gave Yuan Shao a hard lick.
On the main seat, Yuan Benchu, who was originally unhappy, slowly softened his expression after hearing these words.
"Okay, this one is quite reasonable, there are two and three, come on quickly!"
