Chapter 519 Changes in the General Trend

Jushou walked up to the map and pointed to the north of Youzhou: "Please look, my lord. Since Liu Ye defeated the Southern Huns, there are no more powerful people on the grassland than the three tribes of Xianbei and Wuhuan. Liu Ye is exactly the same as Gongsun Zan. Although the foreigners in the grassland are afraid I hate them, but our army can make more use of them and win them over by enfeoffing Shanyu, making peace, and trading with each other, so that the foreign races in the grassland will definitely be able to be used by me."

"All the people of the foreign race in the grassland are soldiers, and there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry at every turn. If we have these 100,000 cavalry, our army will occupy the Yellow River in the south, attract Yan and Dai to the north, and go south with all our strength. No one in the world will dare to be our soldier."

"In this way, great things can be achieved, and hegemony can be expected!"

Yuan Shao was taken aback for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Within a few words, the whole world is in my eyes."

Seeing that Yuan Shao seemed willing to agree to himself, Ju Shou immediately hit the rails while the heat was hot: "Master, I am willing to go to Linzi in person and do my best for the alliance between our army and Cao Cao."

"Wait a minute." Xu You said again: "The supervising army assists the lord in governing Jizhou. How can the lord be inseparable from the supervising army? If the lord does not give up, you are willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Yuan Shao raised his brows and thought, "Although Jushou's strategy is good, he is from Jizhou after all. He proposed the strategy and implemented it. From now on, won't our army be dominated by Hebei people?" Xu You is from Runan, let him go.

"Okay, Ziyuan, I'll leave this matter to you, and let's start."

"promise!"

Qingzhou, Linzi.

"Haha, I don't know who it is, it turns out that Ziyuan is here, please come in quickly."

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao held Xu You's hand, and kindly led Xu You into the meeting hall.

"Let me introduce it to you all." Cao Cao said with a smile, "This is Mr. Cao's old close friend, Xu You, Mr. Xu Ziyuan."

"I met Mr. Ziyuan!" Cao Ying said in unison.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to be too polite." Seeing that Cao Ying Wenwu was so polite to him, Xu You couldn't help being elated and said with a smile.

"Please sit down, come on, let's have a banquet!"

Cao Cao treated Xu You very respectfully, personally pulled him to the seat, and then introduced him.

"This is a certain military commander Shi Xi Zhicai."

"Brother Zhicai, I have admired your name for a long time."

"This is Cheng Yu, a famous scholar from Taishan County."

"It turned out to be Brother Zhongde, whom I have admired for a long time."

Cao Cao introduced all the civil and military personnel under his command to Xu You, and kept persuading Xu You to drink more, but Xu You was very kind, but he kept talking about the alliance.

"No, no, Brother Meng De, you came here today to talk about business." Xu You waved his hands.

"Oh? Brother Ziyuan is here to support Cao today?" Cao Cao laughed.

Xu You took a step back, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, Xu came here on business today."

Seeing Xu You's cautious expression, Cao Cao nodded: "Brother Ziyuan, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

"My lord Yuan Shaote ordered Xu to come here to discuss the alliance with Brother Meng De."

"Alliance? Brother Benchu ​​wants to form an alliance with someone?" Cao Cao's face showed joy.

"That's right, my lord Yuan Jizhou defeated Gongsun Zan today, occupying Youzhou completely, ready to make a big show of strength. But my main idea is that I have a great friendship with Brother Meng De, so I specially ordered someone to come and form an alliance with Brother Meng De."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Okay, brother Benchu ​​is my elder brother, he is very powerful, and it is my wish to form an alliance with brother Benchu."

Xu Youxi said: "So, Brother Meng De agrees?"

"It's natural, how can there be no reason to disagree?" Cao Cao pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Hahaha, thank you, Brother Meng De, so that you can go to the master's bus." Xu You thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and he suddenly became happy.

"Before, my lord had to ask Brother Mengde to cede Pingyuan County to allow you and my two families to form an alliance, but because of the friendship between your two families, I persuaded my lord to give up Pingyuan County."

What a Xu You, confounding black and white, playing tricks. Originally it was he who proposed to cede Pingyuan County in exchange for an alliance between the two, but now it turned out that he tried his best to persuade Yuan Shao to give up Pingyuan County.

Cao Cao was immediately moved: "Unexpectedly, brother Ziyuan's friendship is so deep, it really makes Cao unforgettable."

"come."

The attendants in the hall immediately stepped forward and handed over a silk book.

"Brother Ziyuan, some small gifts are not enough to show respect. In the future, you and my family will have to plan more from Ziyuan." Cao Cao stuffed the silk book into Xu You's hand, and Xu You looked down, almost not happy. Without him, Cao Cao's gift is really generous, several times more than Yuan Shao's reward, and the gift is really generous.

"Brother Meng De, don't worry!" Xu You said generously, "But Jiaoyou is alive, and the alliance between the Yuan and Cao families must be as strong as gold and stone, unbreakable!"

"Okay, come, come, drink up this wine!"

After some banquets, Cao Yingwen and Wu repeatedly toasted Xu You in turn. Xu You was so happy that he never refused anyone who came to him. Sleep soundly.

"Is Xu You asleep?"

"Fall asleep, fast asleep."

Cao Cao sneered: "Someone knows about Xu You's greed."

Cao Cao's face was shrewd and capable, but where was the slightest bit of drunkenness on his face? Obviously, the appearance just now was all faked.

"I want our army to cede Pingyuan County, hum!"

"My lord, in fact, it's okay to cede it. Yuan Shao is very ambitious. If he sees that our army is willing to be a vassal, he might despise the lord." Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "So the lord agreed at the banquet today. Xu You's request, I'm afraid the purpose is to make Yuan Shao despise the lord, right?"

"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from you." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yes, Yuan Benchu ​​and I are old friends. We have known each other for twenty years. I know exactly what kind of person he is."

"Yuan Shao is a man with great ambition and great ambition. Now that he occupies Youzhou and Jizhou, he must want to plot the world." Cao Cao said coldly: "Once our army is subdued and we make an alliance with each other, Yuan Shao will definitely regard our army as a vassal, and then attack Liu Ye or Lu Bu."

"So, the lord is going south to Yangzhou to conspire Huainan and Jiangdong?" Xi Zhicai asked.

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's impossible to say, we have to see how the situation in the world will evolve at that time."

"Order!"

"Yes." Xi Zhicai cupped his hands.

"Order to gather food, grass and soldiers from Xuzhou to Qingzhou."

Qingzhou?

Xi Zhicai was a little puzzled for a while, Cao Cao's aggressive direction is undoubtedly Huainan or Yanzhou, why should he gather troops and food in the direction of Qingzhou?

Is it possible?

Xi Zhicai's complexion changed a lot for a while, and he couldn't help admiring: "My lord, you are brilliant!"
