You, Yuan Cheqi, are also your people who can rely on you to maintain Jizhou in the future. It is really embarrassing for the two parties to disregard their decency and cause this kind of thing in public."

"Ziyuan is indeed better at soothing people than Gongtai... But Ziyuan is so transparent, so he probably knows my dilemma!" Yuan Shao smiled more and more bitterly, but gradually stopped laughing, and could only become serious. "Where is the boundary bridge?

It was obviously Han Wenjie who attacked me secretly, but everyone said that it was me, Yuan Shao, who bullied the weak, and it was me who betrayed him. Han Wenjie was the first, and then everyone said, Liu Dai's matter comes first, so don't commit any more crimes. So,

Although I won the battle, I couldn't go down to Yecheng in one go. Instead, I could only send my nephew and Zhongzhi and other old people from Yingchuan to persuade Han Wenjie in a good manner... Ziyuan, tell me, how can this happen in the world?

It makes sense that we will win in one battle, that my Yanzhou elites are at the boundary bridge, that all the rest of Jizhou's war-ready troops are here, and that they have no strength left to resist, yet they still have to work so hard."

"Fortunately, those Yingchuan and Yanzhou elites are not here," Xu You couldn't help laughing. "Otherwise, tonight would be even more lively!"

Yuan Shao held the bed with both hands and shook his head for a moment: "Ziyuan, I already know what you are going to say... You want to take the opportunity to tell me that I acted too hastily, so that everyone under my command became divided into factions, right? From Yanzhou, from Qingzhou

, those from Yingchuan, and those from Nanyang. After defeating Gongsun Zan and subduing Han Fu in a few days, Jizhou will become the battlefield. The weak Jizhou people today will also rise up, and it will be even more difficult then."

"On the contrary." Xu You let out a long sigh. "I am really here to comfort you today, and I want to tell Ben Chu...you don't have to worry about what will happen to these people because of internal fighting, because whenever you are around, these people

They may fight each other endlessly, but there will never be any intention to deviate because of this, nor will it delay the decisive battle between you and Gongsun Wenqi."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Yuan Shao simply stood up from the couch with bare feet. "Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who can fight for the world even if he is divided internally... This is like a big river moving forward. It can only gather its tributaries before it can travel eastward to the sea.

, where can I say that the diversion can still be unobstructed?"

"Isn't it Yuan Cheqi who is talking nonsense?" Xu You, who was sitting on the couch, disagreed. "Have you ever seen a big river that divides? Since it has merged, where will it diverge again?"

Yuan Shao stepped on the ground with his bare feet and was stunned for a moment.

"The best is like water," Xu Ziyuan continued to talk, rarely speaking seriously. "Once the rivers merge, it's not that easy to separate them. And do you think that the other people can merge into your big river because they want to merge? It's just that they want to merge.

Because they are born to belong to your big river and cannot escape. This principle is just like each big river has its own water system. The geography and hydrology are there, and each has its own place. Forcibly changing its course cannot shake the hydrology foundation. But Gongsun Wenqi took the initiative and "

"The Order for Seeking Virtue" only asked for three or five cats and dogs, but it had already expressed its intention; Hedong sat for a discussion and only killed one Wang Kuang, but it also set the law that those who remnant of the people should die; not only that, the heroes and

Most of the generals in the army are from humble backgrounds. They have been teaching in the fields in Changping for several years, but they have also accumulated hundreds of officials and spread them out in the countryside... Then let me ask you, in such a situation, if the rich and powerful families want to make progress, are they coming to join you?

Or are you surrendering to the General of the Guard? You and he seem to be connected by a long river, but like a big river, the Yangtze River, it is impossible to communicate with each other."

Yuan Shao gradually understood, but still had some doubts: "What Ziyuan said does not make sense... It's just that Ziyuan, it's always bad for your subordinates to be in such a mess, right? And today you and I have a heart-to-heart relationship, and I will also be with you.

If I speak frankly and let these people become unscrupulous, how will I be able to deal with myself in the future?"

"There is nothing we can do about it." Xu Youfu spread his hands and smiled again. "As you just said, Gongsun Wenqi has already figured out the connection between himself and Beidi after ten years of operation, and then he followed the trend and naturally formed a river.

.And you are just like the old Yellow River. The water system is mixed and mud and sand are flowing down, so that it often overflows the embankments and causes disasters... But if the water mixes again and there are more disasters, will it be possible to stop the rolling river from entering the sea? No matter what, we will wait for the general trend in the future.

Now that it’s done, let’s learn from Wang Jing to recast the golden embankment and reorganize the river course... The key now is to gather water into the sea first before Gongsun Wenqi, so as to achieve the overall situation. Some complicated things can be tolerated for a while

Tolerable."

"I learned this lesson from Ziyuan again today." Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded seriously. "For example, after Guangwu succeeded, he went to farm again, and after Gaozu established the cauldron, he then cut down the princes...aren't they the same thing?"

"Is that all?" Xu You sneered, twisting his beard.

"How could it be just this?" Yuan Shao immediately realized and laughed again. "In the future, we will cultivate the fields, and today we must reward the fields more; in the future, we will weaken the princes, and today we must severely decentralize power... But what Ziyuan meant

I have also understood...I am embarrassed to take back only the property, so I can just reward you with more at this time!"

Xu You smiled and said nothing.

By the way, the gossip between the monarch and his ministers made Yuan Shao suddenly realize that Gongsun Xun valued the people and held power, so people who were unwilling to tolerate this situation naturally gathered around Yuan Shao, and he only had to delegate power and benefits to these people.

Gongsun Xun was naturally able to unite those who did not get enough benefits... In fact, these days, it is nonsense to insist that powerful families have any class consciousness, but the basic truth is there, and the laws of history and class characteristics are also

It is there that a wise man can take a look at one or two of them and interpret them a little, but it is natural.

As the saying goes, even if you miss, you’re not far off!

As a result, the two of them went into the alley and talked about it until the third watch. Yuan Shao just turned off the lights and lay down. Xu You received dozens of gold rewards and returned home proudly. At the same time, Cui Juye was depressed.

, Chen Gongtai, after tossing and turning, rested on their respective couches in the Zuoying and Zhongjun offices.

However, shortly after the Yuan family's monarchs and ministers fell asleep with their own thoughts, just after the third watch, the shouts of killing suddenly started with the light of fire. After crossing the river, Gongsun Zan finally reorganized the entire army, made preparations, and made a surprise move!

Yuan Jun's company camp is seven or eight miles away, with thirty to forty thousand soldiers and horses. It looks similar to when it just crossed the river, but in fact it is different inside.

As a military intimidation; but the tens of thousands of new people were simply recruited temporarily by Qinghe locals, and they were all new soldiers.

Therefore, as soon as they encountered a night attack, the whole army had different reactions. Some camps were immediately brightly lit and heavily guarded; while other camps were in a mess and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Gongsun Zan, standing on a gentle slope, saw the uneven performance of Yuan's army's battalions after the forwards set fire everywhere. He was overjoyed and hurriedly looked for fighters.

Don't tell me, they quickly discovered an extremely obvious breakthrough.

"Blow the trumpet and gather the troops!" Gongsun Bogui stared at a chaotic camp and made a decision immediately. "The whole army will follow me and go straight to the left camp!"

So far, this 'Brother of the General Guard' who has never been revealed is actually holding a double-headed steel spear and personally leading five thousand knights of Youyan descendants to attack Cui Juye, who 'knows the general trend of Hebei by observing the stars'

Gone to the camp.

On the other side, Cui Zhong stood up in a panic. Seeing the attack in the camp, he was panicked and at a loss at first. Then, he received an order from the Chinese army camp, saying that each military commander was required to strictly guard their own formations, but he could only

He asked the surrounding officers to give orders and hid in his tent. However, most of his left camp were newly recruited Qinghe children. Where did the formation go from officers to soldiers? Therefore, Cui Juye waited in his tent for a long time. Not only did he not

When the situation outside gradually stabilized, a new military report arrived. It was said that the outer wall of the camp that was on fire was actually dragged down by white horse cavalry. Then Gongsun Zan, the governor of Bohai, personally led countless northern cavalry into his left camp.

Already.

"Go to the Chinese army and ask for reinforcements!" After a moment of silence, Cui Juye sat on the bed and gave the order.

However, as soon as the messengers left, a torch was thrown from a distance, landed on the side of Cui Zhong's tent, and immediately caught fire.

I am the dividing line that is going to die

"Cui Zhong, courtesy name Juye, was born in Qinghe, Hebei Province. He was very good at stargazing and tunneling. At the end of the Han Dynasty, he joined Yuan Shao's army and became the Zhonglang general. He and Gongsun Zan fought for a long time across the river in Jiudu. One night, they had a banquet and got drunk.

Zhongchen Gong asked: "Your skills are very good. Now the old river of the Yellow River is in front of you, blocking the army. Can you be on the way?" Zhong Zui leaned over and said: "It is easy to draw water to block the flow, but the young man learned from the immortals."

The immortal once warned that if you practice this technique, there will be great disaster. The palace was angry and scolded him for deceiving the world and stealing his reputation.

When Gongsun Zan attacked at night, he was about to cross the river. The river was too deep to cross. Suddenly he saw a white feather fan coming from the west and cutting off the river. Zan's army used divine help and was pleasantly surprised. When he arrived at Shaoying late at night, he was drunk at the bell and killed him.
