Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 664
From the "Eight Dragons" of the Xun family, the most famous ones are Xun Yu and Xun You, both of whom are Wang Zuo's talents.Xun Chen compares himself to Xun Yu and Xun You, but he is not as good as Xun Yu in terms of Jing Tianwei and Earth, and he is not as good as Xun You in terms of military staff.Comparing Xun Yu with Xun You, Xun Chen felt that Xun Yu had far-reaching vision than Xun You.

But this doesn't mean much, because Xun You's vision is very sharp. After he recognized the emperor of Han Dynasty as the master of ZTE, he spared no effort to serve him.Now among the entire Xun family, Xun You's status is the most respected.

But precisely because of Xun Yu's far-sighted eyes, it was very interesting for him to say these words to Xun Chen at this time.As a member of the Xun family, Xun Chen knew Xun Yu well.What Xun Yu has learned since he was a child is the art of Wang Zuo; all the aspirations he has set are the couple of Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang.When he was not an official, all the celebrities of the township party were praised.

Xun Chen knew better that his younger brother, Xun Yu, had a meticulous mind and a deep heart, so he would not easily speak out what he was thinking.But once he said it, it was definitely something that had been stuck in his heart for a long time.What made Xun Chen even more puzzled was that if Xun Yu only thought that Yuan Shao was not good enough, then he was already under Cao Cao's command and could invite himself to serve in Cao Ying, so why let him go to the Han Dynasty?

Unless, in Xun Yu's heart, he already thought of defecting to the Han Dynasty?What's more, Xun Yu already believes that the unification of the Han Dynasty is the general trend, and the Xun family no longer needs children to serve their own masters?

Xun Chen also asked Xun Yu about this doubt at the time, but the answer he got was that Xun Yu vaguely said with a hint of helplessness: "My brother has received the kindness of General Cao, if you don't serve him wholeheartedly, you will violate the way of a gentleman. "This sentence seems to have said some reasons, but it seems that it didn't fully mean it, and because of this, Xun Chen saw Xun Yu's contradictions and troubles even more.

However, Xun Chen is not a person without opinions. Now that Yuan Shao's power is at its peak, he does not believe that such a huge monster will collapse overnight.But because he also had no doubts about his brother, so at this time, his heart began to shake a little.Unknowingly, I turned myself from Yuan Shao's mastermind into an objective person watching Yuan Shao's camp.

At this time, after hearing Xu You's explanation, Yuan Shao pinched Jiujue with three fingers, and said with some concern: "Our army's new defeat of Gongsun Zan is a chance to shake the world. Those who ran out dared to tease our army back when they gained some influence, how would other subordinates and allies of the Yuan family treat me, Yuan?"

In Yuan Shao's words, he didn't accuse anyone, but anyone who knew him could tell that he was very dissatisfied now—Yuan Shao was not afraid of casualties, but his reputation.Xu You's death is not a pity, but it made Yuan Shao lose face, which is a big taboo.

Xu You also realized this and was wondering how to explain it.A person stood beside him and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Yuan." Everyone in the hall was stunned. Who is talking nonsense?Countless gazes swept around, and finally focused on a man with a mocking face.

"Yuan Tu?" Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, and Jiu Jue unconsciously tilted his head a little: "You said congratulations to me, but where does the joy come from?"

The relationship between Feng Ji and Xu You is acceptable, seeing Feng Ji jumping out at this time, Xu You secretly heaved a sigh of relief.But he still raised his head, not knowing how Fengji would turn around this predicament.

I saw that Feng Ji smiled flatteringly at Yuan Shao first, and then cupped his hands and replied: "My lord, things sometimes make sense, and you can't argue. It's not like I didn't gain anything when Ziyuan went to Yanzhou today. At least Cao Cao's evasion of the lord is also true. Let the lord understand what happened before. Now that Yuan Qingzhou is on the verge of death, why not let Yuan Qingzhou beat Cao Cao for this reason?"

When Xu You heard this, he frowned secretly. These people in the hall are veterans in the political field, and everyone knows where Feng Ji wants to direct the blame: Yuan Shao has not yet designated an heir. Among the three sons, the middle son, Yuan Shao Xi stayed out of the matter, but the eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang were all staring at this seat.The Jizhou faction and the Yingchuan faction supported Yuan Tan, but the Nanyang faction stood behind Yuan Shang.

Feng Ji's words were obviously not well-planned. Yuan Tan was willing to kill and was aggressive, and Yuan Shao's strict orders could still restrain him.But once Yuan Shao instructs Yuan Tan to beat Cao Cao, it will inevitably lead to a conquest.

Yes, Cao Cao is indeed struggling in Xuzhou now, but his strength in Yanzhou is intact.In particular, Cao Cao's ability to command in front of the battle is a hundred times better than Yuan Tan's. Letting Yuan Tan attack Cao Cao is no less than letting meat buns beat dogs-this kind of clumsy strategy is full of flaws, and it will not attract the Jizhou faction and Yingchuan. It's strange to send verbal criticism and pen criticism.

Sure enough, as soon as Feng Ji's words fell, Tian Feng stood up and reprimanded: "Feng Yuantu is so short-smart! Now that our army is exhausted, it is time to recuperate. You have come up with such a foolish plan, could it be that this time Are you and Xu Ziyuan going to donate the military funds for the expedition?"

Tian Feng didn't say that Yuan Tan was incompetent, but only used the reason that Yuan Shao's power was exhausted, which was reasonable.And Yuan Shao naturally knew the virtues of his elder son, before hearing others scolding Feng Ji, he replied angrily: "Yuan Tu, I just take this as a joke, I can't say it again."

This is a very straightforward admonition, but Feng Ji remained calm and continued to say: "My lord, if what I said was not a joke?"

"People who are in chaos in Fengyuantu should be kicked out of the lobby!" Jushou, who has always been reticent, couldn't help it anymore, because at this moment, he could already see a dangerous gleam in Fengji's eyes.

Yuan Shao and Feng Ji have known each other for many years, so they can naturally see this.He tilted his head, propped his right arm on the desk, and stretched forward: "If it's not a joke, so what?"

"My lord, the Art of War says: attack where the enemy is not prepared, and attack what the enemy does not expect. Although sending troops to Xuzhou is a bad strategy, it is nothing more than one or two battles. It can only draw the attention of the world to Qingxu and Xuzhou. But if Taking advantage of this opportunity, our army suddenly changed the direction of the wind and planned to merge the state?" Feng Ji followed the temptation, his sharp face was full of sincerity.

"Well, you mean, to build plank roads openly, but to keep open warehouses in secret?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.

Feng Ji stroked his beard lightly, but he didn't have that lush beard, only a few rat whiskers made him lose some of his scheming demeanor.But this did not affect him praising Yuan Shao and said: "My lord is right. Our army is exhausted, and the people under our rule are full of complaints. However, my lord's repeated efforts can only alleviate one or two, but cannot solve the root cause. Public opinion is hard to violate, but What could be better than a big war to divert the attention of the people? What's more, the Heishan bandits in Bingzhou have long lost their momentum, if they don't take them now, when will they wait?"

Before Yuan Shao could make a statement, Guo Tu jumped out and said sharply: "Feng Yuantu! You want to hide the world and cross the sea, and you have thousands of tricks. Why do you have to let Yuan Qingzhou waste money and food to attack Cao Cao? What's more, our army is already exhausted, but you You also want to take down Bingzhou, if things happen, everyone will be happy; but if things are not happy, you will only make our army worse!"

After saying this, Guo Tu's eyes flickered for a while, and finally he seemed to take courage, and then added: "Don't forget, the crouching tiger of the Han Dynasty also borders Bingzhou! You don't naively think that the Han Dynasty Will the Son of Heaven be deceived by such a clumsy scheme like yours?"

But in the face of Guo Tu's menacing reprimand, as well as the indignation of the Jizhou and Yingchuan factions, Feng Ji did not get angry. He just smiled and said: "Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand. Gong Ze's words are true." There is nothing in the words of Jinshi. Although the next sentence is a slant, it at least opens up a path for the Lord."

At this time, some people will come forward to argue. They are all well-educated people. No matter how reasonable Feng Ji's words are, they can refute them to nothing.However, Principle on the chief seat coughed impatiently, and those people had no choice but to shut up quickly.

"Yuan Tu's words are not bad. Regardless of whether this plan can be achieved or not, it is still a way out." Yuan Shao looked a little tired. He glanced at Xu You who was prostrate on the ground, and seemed to have no mood to deal with this matter: "Ziyuan Get up too, this matter is due to Cao Mengde's treachery from beginning to end, although you have nothing to do this time, you have also gained Cao Cao's thoughts on Yuan."

Seeing that this military discussion was going to be anticlimactic as usual, everyone wanted to say something.But Yuan Shao had already put the Bronze Lord down, stood up, turned his back and waved to everyone, and said, "That's the end of today's military discussion. I hope that after you go back, you will think more about aggressive strategies and spend your mind on useless things."

Since Yuan Shao said this, no matter how unwilling all the civil and military personnel were, they had no choice but to retreat.However, as soon as they left the hall, those people gathered together and whispered according to their factions, obviously speculating on Yuan Shao's thoughts on sending troops to merge the prefectures.

Yuan Shao saw these people standing together alienated yet closely, and suddenly felt his heart was very tired.After all, after the military discussion, he still ordered one thing to be complete.The suggestion made to him by that person made him very angry.

And that person is naturally Dong Bai.
