Chapter two hundred and eighteen

"This grain and grass are easy to deal with. You can plunder some from the people and buy some from other princes. And now we are bordering Yizhou, which is a large grain-producing state with too much food to eat. And you must have seen the father-in-law Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, have just been a cowardly guarded dog and has no ability. However, his father-in-law went directly to Hanzhong for a 200,000-strong army to intimidate him. Liu Yan's personality did not obediently and asked him to give him some food."

"As for the money issue, you don't have to worry about it. Do your father-in-law know what kind of copper coins we are using now?" Li Ru asked with a smile.

"What about the Wuzhu coins cast by the late emperor?" Dong Zhuo said without thinking.

"It's true that it's the Wuzhu coins. It's not difficult to cast the Wuzhu coins. We can let the craftsmen mint them privately according to the Wuzhu coins. Even if they are a little different from the real Wuzhu coins, who can recognize them? Then there will be weapons, armor, horses and food. Are you still afraid of not being able to support the 500,000 army?" Li Ruteng said with a smile.

"Privately cast copper coins!" Dong Zhuo's eyes popped out after hearing this and shouted in surprise. You must know that private cast copper coins in this man is a head-lossing matter. It is more accused of privately selling salt and iron. Such things will never be done with princes like Tao Qian or Kong Rong who are loyal to the man. However, who is Dong Zhuo? The little emperor is in his hands. Are you still afraid of these things?

"This method is very wonderful for a wise son-in-law." Dong Zhuo quickly came back to his senses and clapped his palms and shouted. His face was full of excitement. If he had cast copper coins himself, as long as there was enough copper mine, he would not have as much money as possible. And even if it was made, it was not like the Wuzhu coins from the late emperor's period. But who would find out? Now all the people only had Wuzhu coins and would not distinguish them at all. At that time, Dong Zhuo would definitely not be a problem to support the 500,000 troops.

"Since this is the case, please go to my father-in-law to issue an imperial edict." Li Ru said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo heard the hideous smile, looked at a palace in the north, and said, "This is not simple."

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, showing a slight smirk.

Bohai County, Jizhou.

"Tell me, what should we do for this Liu Yao wedding?" Yuan Shao asked the letter with a frown and frowned.

There were four people sitting below Yuan Shao, the four major strategists under Yuan Shao, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Xu You. As for Ju Su and Tian Feng, who should have been under Yuan Shao, were poached by Liu Yao early. Of course, they would not be here anymore.

And Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and the other two were all members of the Jizhou family. After Yuan Shao returned from Luoyang, he began to recruit soldiers. The people from these big families also took a fancy to Yuan Shao's strength and the identity of the fourth generation and three kings. They joined Yuan Shao's command without hesitation.

As for Xu You, he was Yuan Shao's playmate. The two of them, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, were also called the Fourth Prince of Luoyang. Of course, this is naturally notorious. These four people were also the masters of seeking flowers and willows, and they were also a domineering in Luoyang, and no one dared to provoke him. Before the chaos in Luoyang, Xu You, who had the foresight, left Luoyang. After Yuan Shao returned to Bohai, he also joined his command.

"I don't think I should go there, lord, Liu Yao has a grudge against us. Why should I give him any face?" Shen Pei stood up and said.

"Yes, lord. I agree. Besides, we are still preparing for war. As a disciple of Yuan, Han Fu's son is not grateful for the favors of the lord's fourth generation and third generation, but instead opposes him. We should be able to send troops to take down Yecheng and ask Han Fu for an explanation." Guo Tu also stood up and said. Of course, it was just a tactful statement. It was obviously the one who wanted to take over Jizhou and become the lord of Jizhou Mucai to start this war. Han Fu was just protecting himself.

Yuan Shao nodded unstoppablely and said, "It's reasonable, what he said is reasonable."

"I think you want to harm your lord." At this time, a muffled voice came and a harsh sound came, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It was not Xu You or who was the one.

"Xu Ziyuan, what do you mean? I am loyal to my lord, and the world can be seen. When will I want to harm my lord? If you don't explain it clearly, I, Guo Tu, and you will never die!" Guo Tu was furious and roared at Xu You.

The four strategists under Yuan Shao's command are not right, and they have to argue for a long time every time they discuss things. Today is no exception. Xu You and Guo Tu have a dispute.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao turned his attention to Xu You and saw what he wanted to say. This is Yuan Shao's character, he is very good at making no plans, and never interferes with the small battles between his advisers. He always likes to listen to everyone's opinions and make decisions by himself.

However, Yuan Shao is naturally not that simple person. In addition to doing this, he has another purpose.

The forces under Yuan Shao were basically established by the aristocratic families. The reason why these aristocratic families helped Yuan Shao was largely for their own interests. With interests, there will naturally be conflicts. Many families under him formed a united unit. For example, the family headed by Guo Tu and Shen Pei, and the family headed by Xu You and Feng Ji, formed a situation of confrontation.

And Yuan Shao may not have any contribution. As the lord, he naturally could not see the scene where his family was dominant, so he was happy to let them fight and form a stable situation. This is what Yuan Shao wanted to see.

Xu You glanced at Guo Tu disdainfully and said, "Although the lord is under his command now, there are countless powerful generals and 200,000 troops, most of them are new recruits and have little combat power. And Han Du, as the governor of Jizhou, also has a 100,000 army under his command. Therefore, even if the lord can win, it will definitely be a big loss. It will hinder the lord's future hegemony. If you persuade the lord like this, you can send troops, either harm the lord or something."

"You!" Guo Tu was so angry that he heard this. His face turned into a pig's liver. He pointed at Xu You with his fingers, looking speechless.

"Enough!" At this moment, Yuan Shao stopped the dispute between the two and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter. Ziyuan's statement is reasonable. Now is indeed not a good time to send troops. Wait for a few more months and wait until all the new recruits are trained, it is not too late to send troops again."

Yuan Shao had spoken, and Xu You and Guo Tu naturally didn't dare to say anything more. Guo Tu snorted coldly and sat down very unhappily. The victorious Xu You looked at Guo Tu with some disdain and smiled.

"Okay, it's still the same thing just now. Should I give gifts to Liu Yao?" Yuan Shao asked with a frown.

"I think I should go." At this time, Xu You stood up again and said. "Although the lord has a lot of grudges with Liu Yao, these personal grudges are just small things in the face of the world's hegemony. Now all the princes are dominating the side, and it can be said that everyone is an enemy, and everyone is a friend. And Liu Yao is so strong now, why should you offend him? It is better to have more powerful helpers than to have more powerful enemies."

Yuan Shao frowned deeper after hearing this, and his hand unconsciously touched his left shoulder. It was the place where he was injured by Liu Yao's Hunyuan Pili Axe a few days ago. Although he was healed now, Yuan Shao vaguely felt that the wound seemed to be hurting again. It was obvious that he could not let go of that grudge. The fact that Liu Yao humiliated himself in front of the Allied forces was still vivid in his mind. It was indeed difficult for Yuan Shao, who was very proud of his face.

"I also think I should go." At this time, Xu You's ally Feng Ji also stood up to support Xu You.

Yuan Shao immediately turned his attention to Feng Ji, wanting to see what he wanted to say.
