After Liu He and Qu Yi led their troops out, the senior officials immediately reported the news that Liu He pacified the Black Mountain Army to Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao was leading his army to fight against the Heishan Army in Hei. During this period, after a series of great battles, Yuan Shao took turns to attack with his powerful generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others, and adopted the strategy of exhausting the enemy and disturbing the enemy proposed by Ju Su. After more than 30 battles, he defeated the Heishan Army's left qi, Zhang Zhang, and others, and killed more than 20,000, recruited more than 30,000 surrendered troops, and obtained tens of thousands of households in the people. It was a great victory.

Of course, in order to win this big victory, Yuan Shao also paid a lot of money, losing tens of thousands of soldiers. Even the general Zhang He was slightly injured and lost more than ten generals.

However, no matter what, Yuan Shao has successfully completed his previous combat plan and expanded his territory to shooting dogs.

Of course, during this period, Jia Kui, the prefect of Hedong appointed by Liu He, also took the opportunity to lead the army to expand eastward and surrender Fang Yue, the general originally belonging to Hanoi. At the same time, he also obtained 10,000 surrendered troops under Fang Yue, occupying the territory west of the Shootun.

"This time we fought in Hanoi, we were going very smoothly. Next, we would do our best to attack Qingzhou. As long as we occupy Qingzhou, we would be able to look at the Central Plains. At that time, we could attack Cao Cao's power, occupy Xuchang, and welcome the emperor, gain the political advantage of being the emperor to order the emperor to be unjust, and then attack the nearby warlords in the name of the emperor, expand our power. Looking at the world, who else can dominate the world more than the lord?"

At the celebration meeting, Tian Feng said this to Yuan Shao while toasting.

This remark naturally aroused a response from the civil and military officials around him.

However, at this time, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan bowed and asked, "Mr. Tian, ​​why don't we take the opportunity to attack Liu He? Although his power seems to be very wide, it is actually very scattered. As long as we occupy Shangdang, we can cut off his north-south connection. At that time, as long as we occupy Bingzhou first and then attack Youzhou, my father will be in charge of the four states of Qingji Youbing, and then drink horses and the Yellow River, and look at the Central Plains. Wouldn't hegemony be easier?"

After hearing this, Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Otherwise, the second young master doesn't know. First, we and Liu He are already in alliance, and we should trust each other. If we bear the alliance at this time, the lord will bear the reputation of being unjust. Besides, Gongsun Zan's main forces are now concentrated in Youzhou, and Qingzhou can be said to be a land without a master. Although Liu He's power is scattered, there is Youzhou in the north and Sili in the south. The soldiers under his command have strong combat power and won the hearts of the people. Even if the north and south are broken, how easy is it to capture it? Third, Cao Cao is now fighting with Lu Bu in Puyang, and he has no time to care about it. If we attack Luoyang at this time, then enter Henan and occupy Xudu, we can successfully achieve hegemony. Why should we be obsessed with Youbian land?"

"It is precisely because Liu He is threatening that we should destroy him first. As long as Liu He is defeated, who else is our opponent in the four prefectures of Hebei? It is estimated that Liu He is now being disturbed by the Black Mountain Army. As long as we take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Hanoi, and then follow the trend to enter the strategy Shangdang and Taiyuan, most of the Bingzhou will fall into our hands. At this time, we will join forces with Gongsun Zan to capture Youzhou and control the two prefectures in our hands. We will not only weaken Liu He's power, but also occupy the four northern prefectures. Isn't that beautiful?" Guo Tu disagreed with Tian Feng's words and retorted.

But Ju Su, who was standing beside him, said, "Mr. Guo is a little too underestimated by Liu He? According to Su Su, Liu He's army can almost defeat the Black Mountain Army now. Don't worry. It is estimated that at most one or two days, the battle report of Liu He's rescue of General Gao will be delivered."

"Hmph, how is this possible? No matter how weak the Black Mountain bandits are, there are 70,000 troops in Yuanshi. How many troops can Liu He have in Taiyuan? Ju Gong, do you dare to bet with me? Just bet on our respective counts..."

Guo Tu looked disbelief and was ready to use this opportunity to kill Ju Su, but unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a personal soldier broke into the door and said loudly: "Lord, General Qu Yi has heard news that the Sili Captain Liu He had pacified the Black Mountain bandits a few days ago. Tens of thousands of people below the thief Zhang Yan surrendered. Now the siege of Changshan has been lifted. General Qu Yi is rectifying the hearts of the people. Liu Sili, General Qu Yi and others lead the army to Zhongshan Country..."

"What?" Almost everyone was shocked when they heard the news. Even Ju Su, who had previously decided that Liu He would win, was no exception. Guo Tu looked even more embarrassed and couldn't find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Haha, Gongze, fortunately you didn't say this, otherwise, I really don't know how many heads you have to bet? Now that Liu He has won a great victory, the siege of Changshan has been resolved, this is really good news for us." Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi immediately made fun of Guo Tu.

Guo Tu has always supported Yuan Tan, so he was naturally jealous of Yuan Xi. Now that he saw Guo Tu being defeated, he felt very happy and naturally would not give up this opportunity to humiliate Guo Tu.

Ju Suze silently said, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Although Liu He's victory is good news for us, it is not very good news. Think about it, Liu He can actually recruit tens of thousands of people under Zhang Yan's command with tens of thousands of people. How powerful is this? This person is so powerful, it is a great threat to the lord's future domination of the world."

"Then we just proposed to deal with Liu He, but you still don't agree? Are you saying this now to admit that you said something wrong before?"

Guo Tu seized the opportunity and immediately came to refute Ju Su.

But Ju Su shook his head and said, "It is precisely because Liu He is so powerful that we should not send troops to deal with him. It is harmful to us to get involved in such a strong hostility. Therefore, in Shu's opinion, the most important thing for us now is to occupy Qingzhou, and then attack two or even three ways to deal with Cao Cao. As long as we defeat Cao Cao and welcome the emperor, we don't have to be afraid of Liu He anymore."

"Lord, the Lord, I am very honest with him, and the emperor agrees." Tian Feng immediately responded to Ju Su's words and worshiped Liu He.

"Lord, the lower lord agrees." Shen Pei nodded and said.

"Lord, Shen Zhengnan is right, and the subordinate agrees." This time, even Feng Ji, who had a gap with Shen, stood on this side rarely.

However, it is not only that. Next, even Xu You agreed to take Qingzhou first and not to start a war with Liu He.
