"What do you think?"

Pei Qing looked at the big strategists beside him and asked with a faint smile.

Hu Zhao nodded and said, "Zhao thought this matter was feasible. Ziyang was right. The enemy we urgently needed to deal with now should be Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's energy is severely damaged. It is the time when we defeat him in one fell swoop. As for Cao Cao, we need a protracted war. We will not only win the reputation of our army, but also obtain a large amount of supplies. These supplies will be an important basis for supporting us to continue fighting with Cao Cao. Fortunately, Xie Taishou sent troops to occupy several counties in the southern part of Xia Pi in time. This will be an important step to prevent Cao Cao and Yuan Shu from colluding with each other. However, there is another thing to note. I hope that the lord can successfully persuade Chen Deng to surrender, at least to prevent him from surrendering to Cao Cao. If not, once Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are connected north and south, we may find it difficult to complete the plan smoothly."

"This is a problem, but Chen Deng's movements are unknown now, so it is not so easy to persuade him to surrender, right?" Zhang Ji, a strategist, said immediately after hearing Hu Zhao's words.

At this time, he heard the adviser Chen Jiao come forward and say, "Jiang's hometown is in Guangling, and he is more familiar with the local officials. So I asked me to go to see Chen Yuanlong, and I must try my best to convince Chen Yuanlong to surrender."

Pei Qing said happily when he heard this: "If Ji Bi takes action, I believe he will be able to persuade Chen Yuanlong. As long as Chen Yuanlong surrenders and Cao Cao's connection with Yuan Shu is completely cut off, we will be able to rest assured to deal with Yuan Shu's traitors."

When Chen Jiao heard this, he stood up and asked Pei Qing back. After preparing, he took a few personal soldiers to Guangling to see Chen Deng.

Pei Qing and the others continued to hold a meeting to discuss the next combat strategy.

At this time, Liu Ye came forward and said, "Pei Gong, Ye believes that the most important thing in our army is the army at the moment, and he quickly marched with Zhang Kai's defeat, causing a decisive battle with Cao Cao, leaving Cao Cao no time to take care of other things. If he leads his troops to conquer Guangling at this time, our plan will be rewritten."

But Pei Qing smiled and said, "It is necessary for Chen to attack Guangling. Cao Cao will never do this now. First, he also wants to win Chen Deng's support. Second, don't underestimate Chen Yuanlong. With his ability, Cao Cao wants to conquer Guangling, without 30,000 or 50,000 elite troops. With the current situation, how dare Cao Cao send so many troops to attack Guangling?"

At this time, Zhang Chao said, "I heard that Zhang Miao fled to Zang Hong's place in Liyang, Jizhou after General Fengxian was defeated. Zang Hong was a righteous man and wanted to send troops to attack Cao Cao and avenge his old friends. However, he was firmly opposed by Yuan Shao and threw Zang Hong into prison. Xia Guan thought that although Yuan Shao had experienced the failure of the Battle of Hanoi, the main force was still there. There was no obvious fault during this period. Even if we attacked, we would be in the name of Wuming. Since that's the case, we

Why not use him? Cao Cao seized Yuan Shao's Qingzhou before, which made Yuan Shao very angry. The alliance relationship between them was in name only. We only need to send a wise man to discuss the pros and cons. We believe that Yuan Shao will definitely agree to establish an alliance with our army. At that time, Yuan Shao only needs to attack Cao Cao's Qingzhou and Yanzhou from behind. Cao Cao had to take the defensive situation when he could not take the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu, so that he would have no worries."

"It's a clever plan!" Pei Qing's eyes lit up after hearing this. To be honest, he really didn't think of this. Now when he thinks this plan, he really thinks that this plan is wonderful. However, what Pei Qing was embarrassed about next was that two talents under his command who were good at diplomacy and eroticism were not around. Deng Zhi was far away in Chang'an, but Pang Shu was in Shangdang. If they were notified to go to Jizhou, it would probably be a mistake.

At this time, Liu Ye said, "Lord, there is a candidate for the lower rank. Dongcheng Lu Zijing is good at talking, is generous, and has extensive knowledge, so he can win this position."

Pei Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this and said happily: "Why did I forget him? This Lu Zijing is a person who promoted the Wushu Alliance, so his ability is naturally unquestionable..."

However, when he saw all the generals under the tent with a confused expression, he suddenly realized that he had accidentally revealed the original history. So he quickly found an excuse to vaguely: "I mean, Lu Zijing is like Lu Zhonglian in ancient times, who can solve problems and promote our family to establish an alliance with Yuan Shao."

Pei Qing then ordered the gathering of soldiers of the entire army, and the army was approaching the border, threatening Cao Cao's Xuzhou, to be tense, make an attacking situation, and continue to make a tentative attack. At the same time, let Lu Su's deputy general Li Tong temporarily take over the army, and send Lu Su directly to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao, persuade Yuan Shao to agree to establish an alliance with his own side, and to start attacking Cao Cao's land in Henan, and to promise Yuan Shao that once the matter is completed, he is willing to admit that Yuan Shao has occupied all the land of Cao Cao, and can also be appointed as the Grand Marshal and record the affairs of Shangshu.

After being ordered, Lu Su rushed to Yecheng immediately, and continued to analyze the situation on the road, and finally determined that the probability of success this time could reach more than 80%. So he sighed silently: "The lord made such a big concession this time, and Yuan Shao could not disagree. The two brothers of Yuan were all fools, short-sighted and forgot about profit. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao would not have much gains in the end. At most, Qingzhou, and even Qingzhou was difficult to possess. On the surface, this deal seemed to be very cost-effective. However, with Cao Cao's shrewdness, of course he knew where it was important. Even if he gave up Xuzhou, he would not give up the fundamentally important Yanzhou and Yin of Henan."

In fact, it was necessary to go to Yecheng from the Liang Kingdom where Yuan Shu was located to go to Dongjun, Dongjun, the defense base of Cao Cao. Cao Cao was hostile to Lu Su, and it was not easy to pass through. But if you detour, it would be too far and you could not reach it for a month. However, Lu Su was not panicked because he had already done the relevant work and used his previous business partners to get some road guides in Dongjun.

So Lu Su pretended to be a merchant and got a batch of goods and went straight to the road. In less than a few days, he crossed the Yellow River, came to Yecheng, and met Yuan Shao.

"Lu Zijing, I am both hostile. What are you doing when you come to Jizhou at this time? Could it be that you are here to declare war?" When Yuan Shao saw Lu Su, he suddenly remembered his miserable defeat in Hanoi, so he said with a gloomy face.

Lu Su bowed and said, "The reason why the lower officials took the risk to come to Yecheng to pay homage to Duke Yuan was mainly to come to establish an alliance with Duke Yuan on the order of our lord."
