The judge sat in the hall, his thin and sturdy body motionless, although he didn't say a word, but he showed indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.

Frustrated and suddenly a little discouraged. He rushed back to Yecheng thousands of miles away, and said the truth over and over again, but he was indifferent to the trial, but showed some impatience. Looking at this situation, no matter what he says or how long he says, the trial will probably not support his suggestion.

Such a rare opportunity was missed. When Sun Ce eased up, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to defeat him again.

Frustrated with his mouth closed, his eyes gloomy and a little overwhelmed.

The judge waited quietly for a moment, and when he saw that he really didn't want to say anything more, he coughed softly. "Gonghe, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

Frustrated Professor raised his head and looked at the trial in silence. The judge crooked his mouth, laughed, and shook his hand. "I'm talking too much. Gong and wisdom are peerless in the world, strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, where do you need me to talk more. Gonghe, you have me in your eyes, come to me to discuss, I am grateful. But I really can't promise you anything, although I am in charge of the shogunate and in charge of the army, the real decision is not in me, but in the lord. ”

Frustrated, his expression moved slightly, his spirit lifted slightly, and he squeezed out a trace of apology. "Brother Zhengnan, you are serious. Since you are my confidant and the leader of Hebei Shilin, I naturally want to discuss with you if I have something. Although the decision is up to the lord, your opinion is not trivial, and the lord will not take it lightly......"

The judge shook his head with a smile and sighed softly. "Gonghe, you are exalting me too much, and you are also overestimating the status of our Hebei people in the hearts of the lord. Think about it, Zhongping went to Hebei in the sixth year, and Jizhou in the second year of Chuping, the lord did so many things, how many things did to listen to my Hebei people? ”

Frustrated frowning slightly, he sighed faintly. He knew that the trial was telling the truth. Although Yuan Shao relied heavily on the Hebei people, he didn't really listen to the opinions of the Hebei people much, especially when the opinions of the Hebei people and the Ruying people disagreed, Yuan Shao usually adopted the suggestions of the Ruying people.

"But this time it's different......

"How is it different?" The trial interrupted the frustration. "Because Yuan Tan was defeated, because Chun Yuqiong was captured? Gonghe, if you really think so, it will be too dangerous. What kind of man is the lord, how can he be coerced by a moment of defeat? ”

Frustrated, he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhengnan, how dare I coerce the lord? No such intention. ”

The judge pressed Frustrated's shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous. "Gongyou, I believe in you, but not everyone can believe in you, especially at this time. Besides, Yuan Tan is the eldest son of the lord, if you say that he is incompetent, you are accusing the lord of teaching his son of being incompetent and using people inappropriately. If Sun Ce is good at fighting, then sending troops out of time and pinning hopes on a quick victory, is there a loss of underestimating the enemy? If it wins, it's all good to say. If you lose, you and I are only afraid that you will be responsible. ”

Frustrated for a long time, he sighed dejectedly. "What Brother Zhengnan said is very true, but as a minister, I only ask for a good answer, and I don't care too much. If I miss this opportunity, I will not only be sorry for my lord, but also for my own conscience. He bowed his hand and took his leave of the judge. The judge didn't say anything more, sent Frustration to the door, watched Frustration get into the car, and hurried away.

The eldest son of the judge, Shen Ying, walked out, stood behind the judge, looked at the frustration in the distance, and sneered: "What does frustration mean?" His father persuaded him with good words, but he didn't know what to do, when he was the only one in Hebei, he was a loyal minister? ”

The judge turned his head and glanced at the judge, silently, with his hands behind his back, and walked inside. He didn't walk fast, but he was solid with every step. Xianyang hurriedly followed. The two came to the hall and sat down, and the judge sat in front of the desk, pondered carefully for a long time, and sighed softly.

"Frustration and clarity are in the general trend and ignorant of human feelings. If you anger the lord, you may be punished. It would be a pity if he died because of this, this is the best among my Hebei people. He is still too young, eager to make meritorious contributions, but he doesn't know that the time has not come, and he does it reluctantly, which is harmful and useless. Wouldn't it be better to follow the trend and be beneficial? ”

Shen Ying rolled her eyes, as if she understood or not. The judge didn't hear his response, glanced at him, couldn't help but be annoyed, and shouted: "The erector is not enough and the plan." Shen Ying didn't know what was going on, and she also thought that the judge was frustrated, and nodded her head again and again. When the judge saw it, he became even more angry and walked away.

——

Not long after Fu Zhu left, Yuan Shao's messenger arrived and asked the judge if he could send troops. The trial is based on facts. He doesn't care about the situation, he only talks about specific matters. If more than 10,000 people are levied, it will be enough in half a month. If you want to recruit 30,000 soldiers, it will take at least three months, and if you need to recruit more than 50,000 soldiers, you can't do it in half a year.

Yuan Shao, who was climbing the mountain, received a reply from the trial and publicized the civil and military affairs. Guo Tu took the opportunity to propose that Cao Ang be the assassin of Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao readily agreed.

Frustrated with his disappointment. In fact, there is no need to interrogate these matches, Yuan Shao also knows that sending people to Yecheng to ask for matchmaking is just a gesture. He didn't want to send troops at all. Although regretful, Frustrated offered a remedy. He suggested that Yuan Shao impeach Sun Jian and his son to the imperial court. Sun Jian is the pastor of Yuzhou, but now he has invaded Yanzhou, and he is the main culprit who took the initiative to provoke the war. Sun Ce is a Huiji Taishou, but he forcibly occupied Wu County and Danyang, and now he has sent people to capture Yuzhang, which is clearly a reckless army and disregard for the people's livelihood, and should be punished.

Yuan Shao was very satisfied with this suggestion, and immediately arranged for someone to do it.

Fu Zhi then suggested that Yuan Shao send envoys to contact Han Sui and Liu Yu and buy a large number of horses from them. On the one hand, it tested the attitudes of all parties, and on the other hand, it raised the price of horses to prevent Sun Ce from buying war horses. Sun Ce showed a talent for cavalry tactics in this battle, and if he could be limited to replenish his horses, he would undoubtedly gain an advantage in future battles.

Yuan Shao happily accepted Fu Zhi's suggestion and immediately sent an envoy to set off with gifts. In addition to mentioning Han Sui and Liu Yu, Yuan Shao also sent people to meet Jia Xu and Gongsun Du, and tried to block all channels for Sun Ce to buy war horses.

Tian Feng also put forward a suggestion: The reason why the Sun father and son were able to cross the border to use troops was that Taiwei Zhu Jun played a great role in it, and he should ask the imperial court to issue an edict to transfer Taiwei Zhu Jun from Luoyang, or take advantage of the recent earthquake to directly let Zhu Jun go to his post.

Yuan Shao promised one by one.

Just when their monarchs and ministers were talking happily, Guo Tu received the news: He Hao failed to assassinate Sun Ce and was arrested by Sun Ce, along with Zhang Miao and Mrs. Ding.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately asked Guo Tu. Mrs. Ding was arrested, can she still let Cao Ang assassinate Yanzhou? Do you want to chase the messenger back?

Guo Tu asked rhetorically, is there a more suitable candidate for the lord than Cao Ang? The appointment of Cao Ang as the assassin of Yanzhou was not to hope that Cao Ang would defeat Sun Ce, it was simply impossible. As long as he can stop Sun Ce and buy time, he will complete the task. Mrs. Ding was arrested, but the lord still appointed Cao Ang as the assassin of Yanzhou, which was a sign of trust in their father and son. If Cao Ang betrays the trust of the lord, will Yanzhou Shilin still support him? When the time comes, the lord will send another messenger to capture Cao Ang.

Yuan Shao thought about it repeatedly and accepted Guo Tu's suggestion.
