Chapter 276 The Situation in Jizhou
In Jizhou, with the increasing tension of the situation between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the atmosphere in Jizhou has also become a little dignified. A team of soldiers and horses gathered from all over the world in Jizhou, and a member of the university will rush back from all over the country. There are countless soldiers and horses going back and forth every day, which makes the atmosphere of Jizhou reach its peak.
Ye City, since Yuan Shao captured Ye City, it has become the center of the four continents under Yuan Shao's command. As the center of the four continents, it is a gathering of most of the generals and counselors under Yuan Shao's command. The wine and teahouses in the city are discussing the outcome of the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao every day. Most people are concerned about the results of this battle. They are all very optimistic about Yuan Shao, because Cao Cao's power is too far from Yuan Shao's power.
In the past few days, with the scattered generals and counselors gathered in Ye City, the form of the whole city of Ye became a little strange. The people in the city could even see two counselors quarreling on the street.
Originally, these generals and advisers were scattered all over the country, but now they gathered in Ye City, and the contradictions suddenly broke out. The three major forces collided with each other, and no one was convinced. However, the strength that supports Yuan Shao is cold-eyed and does not intervene. If it hadn't been for Yuan Shao's pressure, I'm afraid Ye City would have been in chaos at this time.
In the post station in Yecheng, Xu Shu has lived here since he rushed to Yecheng. Today, an important person came to the post station, so that the people in the post station are cautious and dare not go over it.
"Yuanzhi, the lord has made a decision in his heart about this matter. I'm afraid he can't save Jingzhou." In a room, Ju Shu arched his hand to Xu Shu with a ashamed face.
A few days ago, Cao Cao secretly united with Sifang and suddenly made trouble to Jingzhou. The news spread to Ye City. Xu Shu immediately went to Yuan Shao's house and asked Yuan Shao to put pressure on Cao Cao so that Jingzhou could relieve some pressure. Unexpectedly, in addition to seeing Yuan Shao for the first time, Xu Shu would be excused by Yuan Shao with many excuses every time he went to meet. Several times. Xu Shu has long had no hope that Yuan Shao can send troops to help Jingzhou.
Before coming to Jizhou, Xu Shu was prepared for the situation in Jizhou, but after in Yecheng, Xu Shu knew that the situation in Jizhou was more complicated than expected.
Although Jizhou is full of talents and generals, the forces under Yuan Shao's command are really complicated. Yuan Shao has three sons, and his eldest son Yuan Tan is nearly 30 years old at this time, but Yuan Shao still does not have the slightest intention to save. He hesitates among the three of Yuan Tan, which makes the struggle for power between Yuan Tan and more and more serious. Most of the officials in Ye City are involved, and only a few people can not be affected by all parties.
Several important counselors under Yuan Shao's command were involved. Guo Tu and Xin commented that the two tried their best to support Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's eldest son, and the trial couple did secretly support Yuan Shao's young son Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan to compete with each other, and Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi was appointed as Youzhou herdsman by Yuan Shao, and his power was not weak. The three brothers were fighting in the open and secretly. Press down the other party. Although Ju Shu, Tian Feng and others tried their best to persuade Yuan Shao to make suggestions for Yuan Shao, their influence was greatly reduced by the three people in front of Yuan Shao.
"Ha ha, the public doesn't have to blame themselves too much. The covenant only says that Jingzhou and Jizhou form an alliance to attack Cao Cao, and it doesn't say that Jizhou needs to help Jingzhou." Xu Shu shook his head and smiled.
Although Xu Shu was a little worried about the situation in Jingzhou, he did not feel that Jingzhou would really be defeated by Cao Cao's secret plan. Not to mention that Liu Qi's methods and wisdom were not comparable to ordinary people. As for Liu Qi's Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and other talents, Xu Shu knows very well that with the talents of these two people, it will be a matter of time before Jingzhou calms down the turmoil.
Moreover, Xu Shu has a great understanding of Ju Shu's situation. In the past, Yuan Shao would have probably followed Ju Shu's advice to rescue Jingzhou, but now Ju Shu's words in front of Yuan Shao is getting lighter and lighter. No matter what he says in front of Yuan Shao, it will attract the strong opposition of the four people, Guo Tu, the trial pair, and Xin Ping, so Yuan Shao He didn't agree to Ju Shu's proposal to reinforce Jingzhou.
"Ha ha, let Yuan Zhi laugh." Ju Shugong arched his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Don't forget the conditions promised to the Lord at the beginning. Now the situation in Jizhou should be very clear. Although the original power is extremely strong and dominant, it is really difficult to defeat Cao Cao with the situation in Jizhou. Moreover, Guo Jia and Xun Wen under Cao's command should be extremely It is clear that Cao Cao will not turn a blind eye to the suggestions of his subordinates like Yuan Benchu.
Xu Shu looked outside the door and saw that Ma Zhong had brought people around the whole room and whispered. After saying that, Xu Shu stared at Ju Shudao tightly.
"Hey, the rookie of the monarch and the loyalty of the monarch. Although the situation in Jizhou is not optimistic now, the advantage occupied by Cao Cao and Jizhou is still extremely obvious. I think the lord can realize the importance of storage sooner or later." Ju Shu shook his head with a flash of eyes, but his attitude was no longer as determined in Jingzhou.
Although Ju Shu is not obvious on his face, he is very clear in his heart that it is difficult to defeat Cao Cao in the current situation in Jizhou. He is very clear about the talents of several people under Cao Cao's command. They will not see the weaknesses of Jizhou. If Yuan Shao still turns a blind eye to the correct opinion at that time, Jizhou really wants to win. The hope is slim.
"Ha ha, with the current power of the three princes, even if Yuan Benchu establishes the heir, does the prince and the three princes think that they can be at peace with each other?" Xu Shu smiled and said that Ju Shu was very prestigious to smash Jizhou. As long as he could persuade Ju Shu to surrender, a large number of people would follow Ju Shu to Xiangyang.
Hearing Xu Shu say this, he was silent for a while. The power of Yuan Shao's three princes is really too great. Yuan Tan was appointed by Yuan Shao as the governor of Qingzhou. He has been operating in Qingzhou for many years and has long controlled Qingzhou, and Yuan Xi was appointed as the herdsman of Youzhou by Yuan Shao. He also regards Youzhou as his own territory. Although Yuan Xi has not had much power so far, Yuan Shao loves the power behind him. It is not weak. Even if Yuan Shao determines the heir, the three will not hand over the power in their hands.
"This matter will be decided after the end of this war." Ju Shu shook his head.
"In that case, I won't say more, but I still hope that the public will not go back on regret at that time." Xu Shu didn't care either.
"This is natural, but I hope Jingzhou will not get in the way. I don't think Yuanzhi's intention of coming to Jizhou is not so simple." Although Ju Shu never said it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know. He knows Xu Shu's status in Jingzhou very well how such a person can rush to Jizhou for a small covenant.
"Don't worry, I'm indeed taking the opportunity to recruit a group of talents by the order of the Lord, but I won't recruit before the end of this war, otherwise I may be called crazy." Xu Shu smiled and did not hide the intention of the trip.
"Wow! I hope Yuanzhi can do as he said. Ju Shu sighed. Although he knew Xu Shu's purpose, he couldn't stop him.
"Ha ha, Gong Yu should have made a decision in my heart. I won't say more, but I still hope that Gong Yu can contribute to Jingzhou." Xu Shu knew very well that his ten sentences in Jizhou were not as good as one sentence from Ju Shu.
"If it really goes to that point, it is incumbent on me. It's getting late today. I'll say goodbye. I'll try my best to fight for it. Ju Shu arched his hand and stood up.
"Thank you very much." Xu Shu stood up and sent Ju Shu out of the house.
After Ju Shu left, Xu Shu turned around and walked into the room.
"Military division, Yuan Shao is still unwilling to reinforce Jingzhou?" Seeing Ju Shu leave, Ma Zhong came in and frowned. Naturally, he believes that Liu Qi can deal with the matter of Jingzhou, but it is easier to deal with foreign aid.
"Ha ha, Jizhou is already depressed. Yuan Shao thinks that he can defeat Cao Cao. He is proud and arrogant, and his suspicion is getting heavier and heavier. He can't wait for Jingzhou to lose both sides with Cao Cao. How can he support Jingzhou if he receives the benefits of the fisherman? But you don't have to worry. The Lord of Jingzhou will definitely be able to deal with it. Xu Shu shook his head.
"How did you do what I asked you to do?" After Xu Shu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ma Zhong to speak. First of all, he asked. Obviously, he didn't want to be more entangled in this matter.
"This is the family situation of important people under Yuan Shao's command. Because the time is too short, we can only find out the general situation of these people. It will take some time for deeper information." With that, Ma Zhong pulled out a brocade cloth from his arms, and the fly head small words were densely written on the brocade cloth, and each column recorded one person, at least dozens of people.
Xu Shu turned out to be happy. His goal of coming to Jizhou this time is to find from these dozens of people. In order to expand his power and territory in the future, he needs an extremely large number of talents to govern all over the world for him, and more military generals are needed to fight in the south and the north. These people are all face-to-faced people under Yuan Shao. If you attract more power in Jingzhou, you will get one more point.
"Well, although there is a lot of information, it is still too rough. We need to find out what preferences and difficulties these people have, who they have conflicts with, what their status is in Yuan Shao's heart, and what they did before, so that we can do it better." After reading it roughly, Xu Shu shook his head.
On the brocade, there is only a list of the names of dozens of people and the general situation of the family. As for interpersonal communication and other things, they are ambiguous and extremely vague. If Xu Shu wants to recruit these people for Liu Qi, he must know what these people need and what their weaknesses are, so that he can find the right medicine.
"Don't worry, the military division will have news in less than ten days." Ma Zhong arched his hand.
"Well, remember to guard against Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and judge several people. These people are dissatisfied with Ju Shu. We are very close to Ju Shu. These people will definitely make trouble secretly." Xu Shu put down the brocade cloth and looked at Ma Zhongdao.
"The military division is assured that some officials in Jizhou City have been closely monitored. In addition to the Flying Tiger Guard, there are also brocade guards secretly protecting each other." Ma Zhongdao.
After Ma Zhong left, Xu Shu picked up the brocade cloth and looked at it carefully.
