After everyone finished watching, Ma Qiang looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what are these brothers doing recently? What have they been busy with for the past six months?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "Judging from the intelligence from various sources, Yuan Shao has been secretly communicating with the nobles in Hebei for the past six months, and he should be preparing to devour Jizhou."

Ma Qiang recalled the history of the Three Kingdoms and suddenly asked, "Is there any change in Youzhou?"

Guo Jia replied, "Han Fu and Yuan Shao of Jizhou have been contacting Liu Yu through letters, hoping that he can become the ruler or the minister of affairs in order to unify Guandong and fight against Dong Zhuo, but Liu Yu has always refused, and the counties in Youzhou have also expressed their wishes.

There is much discussion about this.

In addition, Gongsun Zan suggested to Liu Yu several times that he should attack the Wuhuan and other tribes, but Liu Yu refused to give in. The two repeatedly argued about this in the hall. Liu Yu was worried that Gongsun Zan would cause trouble, so he had already ordered Gongsun Zan to station troops in Liangxiang and not allow him to approach the border counties."

Ma Qiang nodded and continued to ask, "Where is Yuan Shu? What is he busy with?"

Guo Jia continued: "Since Sun Jian defeated Jingzhou, Yuan Shu started fighting on two sides, fighting Chen Wen in Yangzhou and fighting Zhou Ang brothers in Yuzhou. It is also worth mentioning that the one fighting Chen Wen was Yuzhou listed above.

Sun Bi, the governor, and Zhou Ang were also appointed as the governor of Yuzhou by Yuan Shao. Now we, the Han Dynasty, already have two governors of Yuzhou!"

These two brothers are completely at odds.

"It seems that Yuan Shu probably got the news that Yuan Shao wrote to Duke Ming. He was worried that Duke Ming was being won over by Yuan Shao, so he came to win over Duke Ming. They are brothers in the first place, and it is normal for both sides to have their own secrets." Jia Xufu

Xu said, "As for Yuan Shao, I'm afraid he hopes to let Duke Ming help him get Jizhou!"

"How to help him?"

"As long as Ming Gong sends people to take over Bohai County, it will be the biggest provocation to Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. Han Fu must be worried that Ming Gong is preparing to attack Jizhou. At that time, Yuan Shao can say that he is powerful and ask Han Fu to give up Jizhou!"

Ma Qiang had to admire Jia Xu. This old boy was like picking up a copy of "Three Kingdoms". Yuan Shao's discussion was very clear!

"In this way, we can't have the Bohai Sea." Ma Qiang sighed slightly. In fact, he still wanted the Bohai Sea. If there was the Bohai Sea, Qingzhou could be connected to Youzhou. Although there was a nasty Gongsun Zan in Zhuo County, he already had it.

General White Horse, who had been taught a lesson by Guo Jin's musketeers, would not dare to provoke him.

"Even if Ming Gong doesn't go, I'm afraid someone else will go, such as Gongsun Zan, who is lacking a foothold." Jia Xu continued, "Xu thought that Yuan Shao also wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan at this time, asking Gongsun Zan to go south to the Bohai Sea.

Gongsun Zan and Ming Gong have a grudge, and our two families will definitely fight in the Bohai Sea. This is a plan to drive away wolves and swallow tigers, and I don’t know who came up with it. It is indeed clever."

Duan Ying said with a smile, "No matter how smart you are, you can't escape Mr. Wen He's observation. Since the Yuan brothers have set their prices, we will inevitably have a battle with Yuan Shao. We should form an alliance with Yuan Shu based on the principle of long-distance friendship and close attack!"

Form an alliance with Yuan Shu?

Ma Qiang suddenly looked disgusted.

Just the withered bones in the grave that even Kong Rong looked down upon?

Seeing Ma Qiang's expression, Duan Ying couldn't help but ask, "Ming Gong thinks it's inappropriate to form an alliance with Yuan Shu? Now that we are on good terms with Tao Qian, and Tao Qian has joined forces with Yuan Shu, even considering the relationship with Tao Qian, we should

Form an alliance with Yuan Shu. If we form an alliance with Yuan Shao and betray the alliance to attack Jizhou, it may be detrimental to Duke Ming's reputation!"

That's true...but this man is planning to become emperor in the future.

Emperor Zhong.

In this era, this Emperor Yuan was on par with another Emperor Yuan more than a thousand years later.

That makes everyone shout and beat!

But Ma Qiang couldn't say this. What should he say? Yuan Shu would become emperor in the future? Some people have to believe it.

Ma Qiang thought for a while and said, "Yuan Shu has no talent and little virtue, and is not someone who can achieve great things. Forming an alliance with Xuzhou is a plan for the southern alliance to attack the north. Forming an alliance with Yuan Shu will only cause trouble, and will also expose our army's intentions to Yuan Shao. It is inappropriate!"

After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he knocked on the table and continued, "The Yuan brothers are fighting. We don't take any side. Qingzhou is Qingzhou. We will list the position of Qingzhou Mu on our own!"

As for Bohai, the position of governor is an official weapon of the imperial court, how can it be awarded privately? Reject it!

As for Yuan Shu... Just say I understand, thank you, no need!

We want to capture Jizhou, and we also need to be famous. Doesn’t Yuan Shao want to force Han Fu? Then Han Fu will definitely escape from Jizhou in the future. This person is the best excuse for us to enter Jizhou!"

Ma Qiang's words made Duan Ying and others nod slightly. Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "In this case, we should first send a secret envoy to Han Fu to prepare for the future."

Ma Qiang immediately thought of the Zhen family in Zhongshan.

This is really the best broker.

Ma Qiang asked Duan Ying to choose one of the students who had fled Luoyang to the plains as an envoy, and sent hundreds of sergeants to Chang'an by boat and waterway to pay tribute. At the same time, he sent his ace lobbyist Gan Shi to Jizhou to pay tribute to Yuan Shao.

Make preparations after Jizhou.

——Yuan Shao Military Camp, Hanoi

Compared with half a year ago, Yuan Shao's military camp not only did not shrink due to Han Fu's reduction in food and grass supplies, but instead expanded a lot.

Among them, the contribution of the Yingchuan and Runan nobles who fled because of the war between Yuan Shu and Zhou Ang in Yuzhou was naturally indispensable.

Zhou Ang is not only fighting, he is also recruiting people.

Speaking of which, it is also because Yuan Shu himself is wrong. After you became the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, you actually did not reuse our noble family, but mixed with a group of bandits, bandits, and scum!

Well, this bandit, bandit, and scum is the Sun Family Army and the Yellow Turban Army led by Sun Jian.

In the past six months, Yuan Shu has gradually annexed and digested the Sun family army, and at the same time recruited many old Yellow Turban troops who were hiding among the people.

It's not that Yuan Shu didn't want to use the nobles, it was mainly because these nobles had poor sense of Sun Jian and others. In addition, Yuan Shao's shuttle arrived again, so they all jumped on Yuan Shao's shuttle and arrived in Jizhou.

At the same time, after half a year of hard work, Yuan Shao finally seduced, no, seduced the representative of the noble clan in Hebei - Shen Pei.

Shen Pei, whose courtesy name was Zhengnan, was from Yin'an, Wei County. When he was young, he served as a subordinate of Taiwei Chen Qiu. Under Han Fu of Jizhou, he was frustrated because of his uprightness.

Not only did he hook up with the nobles in Hebei, Yuan Shao also successfully recruited Ju Yi, who had already had several fights with Han Fu because of his rebellion.

Needless to say, Ju Yi's winning rate in these fights is 100%.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao took Ma Qiang's reply to him, snorted, threw it on the table and said, "Ma Qiang doesn't know how to praise!"

Xu You, who was standing next to him, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "But that Ma Qiang refused Ming Gong's kindness?"

Yuan Shao said angrily, "Not only that, he also said that the position of county governor is an official weapon of the imperial court and cannot be awarded privately. I don't think he was very happy when he made the county governor in Qingzhou? Why didn't he say that it couldn't be awarded privately? Bah!
