The question is whether you dare to think about it or not.

In fact, how could a normal person dare to think about it?

"Forget it, let's take another look." Dong Zhuo also frowned for a moment when he saw this. "Let's wait until the Guandong princes gather together to see their situation. If they are extremely weak, there is no need to bother... and Jingzhou has not yet made any objections.

, and it’s not easy to give up.”

The hall fell silent immediately, no one dared to say anything.

At the same time, at the end of July, Changshan after the alliance was also involved in a huge dispute... Specifically, it was recommended by Gongsun Xun's subordinate officials and the various princes of the alliance.

The subordinates had huge differences on the next move of the coalition forces.

This is normal and inevitable, because it is the end of July and the autumn harvest is about to begin. It is impossible to send troops immediately. This is the time to discuss strategic issues. In fact, the same is true for the Kwantung Allied Forces in the south and even Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.

, in the agricultural era, no one can go against the weather... The autumn harvest is coming, don't think about military issues, unless you are only prepared to use a small-scale off-the-job army.

Of course the same is true for Gongsun Xun.

Moreover, regarding the issue of strategic direction, Gongsun Xun's current awkward geographical location and clear political slogans are indeed a bit embarrassing.

"... Judging from today's situation, the general trend of the world does not lie with Dong Zhuo, but with Yuan Yuan, Tao Qian and the princes. Therefore, I hope that after the autumn harvest, the princes should send out their entire army and go south, attack Hanoi with lightning speed, and annex Yuan Shao.

, Yuan Shu, and then take Luoyang to establish the general trend."

"Otherwise, the two Yuan Dynasties, the Fourth Dynasty and the Three Dukes, who both had the merit of destroying the eunuchs and hoped to bring prosperity to the world, could merge without any reason? If you do this, how will you be different from Dong Zhuo? Your Majesty, I think we should send an envoy to Hanoi. Join forces with Yuan Benchu, and after getting the promise, the emperor will personally send the army forward in the autumn, and let our troops occupy the northern road and attack Luoyang directly. Only in this way can we live up to the expectations of the world!"

"But what if Yuan Benchu ​​betrays his trust and easily cuts off my retreat? Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, is an old official of the Yuan family and is in Wei County. What if he cuts off the traffic and puts the prince in danger? Besides, Yuan Shao is the first to advocate righteous troops in the prince. Later, he actually pretended not to know and made an alliance on his own. It seemed that he was very serious about guarding against the princes. If he was asked to get out of Hanoi, would he be willing to get out of the way?! I am afraid that the traffic at General Chaogeguan has been cut off by him at this time. ! ”

"What if we take Wei County first and then enter Hanoi?" Someone else said. "Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, first came to Jizhou and was dissatisfied. General Wei conquered the Yellow Turbans and destroyed Wuhuan. He also served in many counties in Hebei. He has great authority, so why not contact him? The old troops of Wei Commandery sent surprise troops into Yecheng to force Han Fu to surrender. In this way, Hebei is united, and then they go south to attack Dong with all their strength... Isn't this foolproof?"

"This is a joke at fifty steps and a hundred steps at a time." Someone had already laughed again. "Annexing Yuan Shao has lost the hearts of the world. How can it be that annexing Jizhou without any reason will not lose the hearts of the people? After all, Dong Zhuo is still in Luoyang at this time, and the situation of challenging Dong has just begun. , no one can be the first to do such a despicable thing... As the same saying goes, since it is an alliance to challenge Dong, we must first challenge Dong."

"If we take Anping first, what about Hejian?"

"What if we attack the Taihang Bandits first?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​also has selfish motives. All the princes have different intentions and will annex sooner or later. General Wei has the hope of the world. If you don't break the rules first, why not be careful with your subordinates, coordinate Zhao, Julu, and Zhongshan, and then lead troops to Handan to watch. The situation, wait for the Kwantung Allied Forces to cause chaos on their own, and then use the power of thunder?"

"How long is this going to take?"

"A few days ago on Changshan Mountain, the prince swore an oath with his own blood and personally swore to attack Dong Zhuo. If he did not go to attack Dong Zhuo but thought about his own territory, let alone let the world down, only the prince himself and the directors would be fine. Isn’t that considered self-deception?!”

"..."

"..."

"Zhengnan has been away from Handan for a long time. Is it possible for the Zhao Kingdom to be stable?" In the midst of the noise, Gongsun Xun, who had been sitting in the first place and had been silent for a long time, suddenly turned to look at Shen Pei, who was already thirsty, and asked an irrelevant question. , causing the counselors who were arguing endlessly to immediately shut up.

"Don't worry, Lord." The first judge on the right is still confident. "Although I have only been in Zhao for a few months, Dong Gongren has been in Zhao for a long time, and the Lord has left a legacy in Zhao, so people's hearts will not be worried. There is a problem. But the autumn harvest is around the corner, and we encountered waterlogging before, so I am really worried... After all, the war is coming, and these are military rations."

"That's right." Gongsun Xunfu calmly looked at Lu Fan, who was sitting first on his left. "Zi Heng, if nothing else, Zhengnan and Li Taishou can't stay for a long time. It's the three counties of Fanyang." Someone must go back as soon as possible to preside over the autumn harvest. This matter cannot be delayed any longer... As the Chief of the Shogunate and the Chief of the Shogunate, I will communicate with you more in the past few days, collect opinions, and make a statement. You also have to make a decision."

Lu Fan did not dare to neglect, immediately stood up and solemnly agreed.

"Everyone." After saying this, Gongsun Xunfu smiled and said to everyone in the hall. "You are willing to stay here to advise me, as if you have placed your ambitions on me, and I also regard you as my confidants... And these days

It's about preparing for the alliance and discussing strategies. You've worked really hard... That's all. Let's not discuss this matter today and tomorrow. Let's go back and take a bath. Tomorrow morning, I invite you to go outside the city again.

Changshan, climb high and buy wine to welcome the crisp autumn air. By the way, when Zhengnan came to meet with the alliance, he also brought a wise and resourceful man from Jizhou, who can be a good introduction to you."

Since Gongsun Xun said this, many scribes in the hall, including three or four old and new Liang Qianshi, naturally had nothing to say, so they all left.

On the second day, which was the last day of July, everyone rushed out of the city as promised, and soon, under the protection of many cavalry, they came to a good place on the mountainside of Changshan... This place has always been the place where Beiyue was worshiped.

, it was also the place where the alliance was held in the past. It is a spacious place with countless sacrificial inscriptions standing in front of the mountain. There are also early autumn yellow flowers blooming around it. It is a first-class place for enjoying the scenery, singing poems, drinking and having fun.

However, when everyone sat down with Gongsun Xun, they found that the order of Gongsun Fan, Shen Pei, Dong Zhao and others on the right was different from the usual. On the left, there was an empty seat in front of Lu Fan, Lou Gui and Wang Xiu!

At this time, everyone thought about what Gongsun Xun said yesterday, and they had some guesses, but they couldn't help but become angry... After all, since ancient times, the new people have taken over the old ones. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a "come from behind" but was

People see it as a negative example.

Moreover, today is no better than in the past. There was no back and forth in the curtain. Gongsun Xun now controls nine counties in the north and has plans. He is one of the few figures in the world. He can easily identify someone as a general and someone as a general.

Prefect, who can bear it when a wise man comes up and puts himself in front of everyone?

However, what is even more unbearable is yet to come.

From morning to noon, the sun gradually came to the center of the head. Everyone was sitting on the mountain, but they didn't see the "wisdom man of Jizhou"?! And Gongsun Xun just made a gesture to wait for that person to come, which made everyone

The fine wine and food are in front but cannot be enjoyed, the silk and bamboo are behind but cannot be heard, and the poetic and picturesque mood turns into full of anger in the end!

In this situation, not to mention other people, even Shenpei Shen Zhengnan, who brought this person to Changshan and knew his origin, was a little restless.

But finally, when the sun turned to the west, this man came up the mountain with a high hat and a black face. And don't tell me, a few people in the audience actually recognized this man's origin on the spot, and started whispering.

Gongsun Xun immediately laughed when he saw this, but he remained neither impatient nor angry. Instead, he took the initiative to stand up and greet him: "Yuan Hao, this banquet is just for you. It's okay for you to get angry with me, so why are you leaving everyone else alone?"

The thin man with a dark face did not sit down or return the greeting. He just stood on the open ground with his hands behind his hands and looked at him coldly: "I won't hide it from General Wei. The world is in turmoil now. Although I, Tian Feng, know that you are very selfish, I still don't know.

I feel that you are the only one who can solve the problem of people hanging upside down, so I came here from afar. But now that I have been here for nearly ten days, I only see you drinking and singing and talking loudly all day long, but you are actually unable to make a wise strategy or make a decisive plan.

I feel disappointed, and I want to go back to study behind closed doors... That’s why I hesitated today whether to come here for the banquet."

Gongsun Xun still laughed: "Why is this? If Yuan Hao leaves, won't we still have to scold each other in letters and remain angry as usual? Come on, come on, sit down and talk."

Tian Feng sneered and ignored him.

Everyone became more and more angry.
