"Alright, let's move on to the next topic."

Although the problem of the Xianbei people is the top priority that the Bingzhou army needs to face, and it is impossible to ignore the pressure of Xianbei on the Bingzhou army at any time, before obtaining more detailed information, all the merger army can do is to accumulate strength to peek into the sky.

"This news is also very interesting, don't be surprised when you hear it."

This time it was Cheng Yu who spoke, and Jia Xu was there with his eyes closed and recuperating, looking like "I don't want to say anything", could it be that he had accumulated too much of a sense of storage just now that made this old fox feel unaccustomed.

Jia Xu's dedication to a sense of zài is now a well-known "secret" in the Bingzhou Army, and everyone has long been familiar with some of his habits, and even now Jia Xu has a firm follower by his side.

Well, it was the little fox Guo Jiatong shoes in the venue who had just almost made Li Shushi ignore the past.

Another victim of this life's mistakes.

It is probably because he feels the malice from the world (world: blame me) that Guo Xiaofox wants to follow the footsteps of Jia Lao Fox and embark on the road of no return that kicks away his own sense of zài.

It's a pity that these two are not destined to be a certain Carlin, so let's give up this evil way, two poor fox shoes.

Ahem, the topic seems to be in danger of going in a strange direction again, pull back, pull back.

"Zhongde, you just say it directly, we won't be so shocked as if we haven't seen anything, you are now saying that Yuan Highway has officially ascended the throne and become the emperor, and I will only yawn."

"Oh. It turns out that the lord's city has cultivated to such a state, it is really admirable. So Tao Qian died. ”

"Hehe, don't look at who I am. Well, wait, what did you just say? ”

"Tao Qian is dead."

"Oh...... Ha, ha, ha!! ”

Well, Li Shushi finally found out that he still overestimated his psychological endurance a little, and of course he underestimated the loss of the subordinates around him.

Well, this meeting shouldn't be the world's fault. It's all Li Shushi who is wrong.

But. Tao Qian's death was really a bit unexpected by him, and it is understandable to say that he was caught off guard.

"Didn't you say a while ago that although Tao Gongzu was in poor health, he was fine? Why did you hang up all of a sudden? ”

"Is there anything else in this matter that I dare not say, but doesn't the lord have a word? Who has the most benefit behind this? Then whoever is most suspicious will be the most suspicious. Maybe the lord can use his brain to guess. Maybe you guessed the real murderer behind the scenes. ”

For Jia Xu, who looks a little yin and yang today. Li Shushi said that he had ignored him according to his ideas, and this kind of guy who was so careful to eat most of his favorite roasted lamb leg at the dinner table just now must be ignored.

"In addition to the leg of lamb, there are cold vegetables, spiced soybeans, fried river fish and garlic eggplant."

"The last dish was made by that guy Xiaoqiang."

"Because the lord benefits the most, he is willing to give priority to doubting the lord."

"Uh...... Wenhe. You seem to have something to say. ”

"No, I just regret that I didn't eat a single dish I liked at the banquet just now."

"Okay, Yuzi-chan, I'll take care of this to you."

I hope that Jia Wen and you, the old Lori, will not be played too miserably by Su Xiaololi, who is definitely a thousand-year-old fox spirit if it is a fox, and for the sake of your image, it is better not to tremble and roll your eyes.

As for Cheng Yu, who provoked this "dispute", he looked at his nose and nose and looked at his heart as if he was suddenly less aware of the existence than Jia Xu's old fox, and this situation happened to him, which can also be regarded as a strange anecdote.

"Ahem, okay, let's continue to discuss Tao Qian's matter."

Although I also want to continue to enjoy the rare funny expression of a certain old fox, it is not in line with the last word of sustainable development to play badly, and Li Shushi's curiosity is indeed very interested in Tao Qian's death, so he secretly gestured to Su Xiaololi.

"Huh, Xuzhou is already in chaos now, huh, it seems that such chaos will not be able to calm down in the short term."

"Wenhe, let's be more detailed, your brainless words make us even more confused."

glared at Li Shushi "viciously", Jia Xu seemed to tidy up his brain, and then continued:

"Although Tao Gongzu had to rest due to the cold, he was not the kind of guy who couldn't help but be weak, so we didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Especially in Qingzhou, Liu Xuande's troops had made Yuan Xiansi's troops barely survive by relying on the dangers of the Yellow River, and although Cao Bao in the south suffered some losses, the losses were not large, so Tao Gongzu should have no problem mentally. ”

"In other words, Tao Gongzu's death is just a conspiracy."

"I think so. There was news that Tao Gongzu was seriously ill and died more than three months ago, but then it turned out that it was just a play performed by Tao Gongzu in order to test his subordinates. Although most of the people were not affected by the incident, several hundred generals and two county commanders died at his hands, and there were small mutinies near Tancheng.

But who would have thought that less than a month after this incident, Tao Gongzu died, and it was rumored that he vomited black blood in his mouth, and his eyes were wide and could not be closed, as if he was dead. The most important thing is that Tao Gongzu did not have a clear deal with his two sons before his death, and it is rumored that Tao Gongzu was dissatisfied with both sons, believing that the foundation of Xuzhou would inevitably not survive in the hands of the two, so it seems that he was inclined to give Xuzhou to Liu Xuande, and the two sons could be rich men. However, there are also rumors that Tao Gongzu intended to be instructed by his second son Tao Ying, so Cao Bao's brother Cao Hong asked for his daughter from the Mi clan in the East China Sea for Tao Ying.

So as soon as Tao Gongzu died, his son Tao Ying, a potter, is now fighting for that position. Whether it was Liu Xuande in the north or Cao Bao in the south, they had to retreat back to Xuzhou, after all, no matter what kind of results the two people achieved. The victory or defeat in this Tancheng city is the key to deciding Yiqiē, so naturally there is no mood to continue to fight on the front line. ”

"So what is the situation in Tancheng City now?"

"It's a mess, so we don't have a clue for the time being. However, it is certain that the person behind the eldest son potter should be the Donghai Mi clan, and the person behind the second son Tao Ying should probably be the Peiguo Cao clan. Although Liu Xuande and Zang Ba, another confidant of Tao Gongzu in the north, did not clearly support anyone, it seemed that the two of them should advance and retreat together. Tao Qian's confidant and favorite general, Xu Tan, the leader of the army under his command, is now in charge of military affairs inside and outside Tancheng, and he has not yet expressed his position, but his attitude is also very important. In addition, Guangling Taishou celebrity Zhao Yu Zhao Risheng, Tao Gong ancestral villager Xia Pi Xiang Rong, former Pei Xiang Pi family patriarch Chen Qi Chen Hanyu and so on. Fame spreads. You can command one party, and the family has a lot of money, and you can get it to make the situation clearer. And in addition to these forces within Xuzhou, Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde both sent envoys to Xuzhou. It's called condolence. In fact, it is to lobby all parties in Xuzhou. Yuan Highway also ordered Zhang Xun to garrison more than 20,000 soldiers in Pei County. Sun Ce stationed more than 10,000 soldiers in Xiaqiu, but he was afraid that he would also sharpen his sword. ”

"Yuan Shu, don't worry about that guy, at this time, he still wants to use soldiers to coerce the other party. Those Xuzhou scholars have a strong sense of locality, and Tao Qian's death is not to say that there are many doubts, such an approach will only unite Xuzhou internally, and it is even possible to fall to Yuan Benchu in order to fight against Yuan Shu's urgent son. ”

There may be some truth in what the lord said. But now that Xuzhou is in chaos, Tao Gongzu's two sons are not the masters, and it is necessary for someone to stand up and preside over the situation in Xuzhou. Second, Yuan Shu and Xuzhou were allies, and Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde both fought with Xuzhou......"

"Okay, okay, how can this kind of idea come from your Jia Wenhe's head, if Feng Xian thinks so, it's still a little possible."

"Why did the topic suddenly come to me, and what do you mean by that 'little bit'!"

"It's literal.,I guess if you change to Fengxian, you probably won't even have that kind of thought.。 Maybe he will directly pick up the gun and shout, 'Little guys, rush with your grandfather of the Lu family, and screw off the heads of those bastards' or something. ”

"Although I know what kind of temper I have, but the book is really talking about this person, not a bandit?"

"Didn't you say you used to be a horse thief? This kind of work must be familiar. ”

So, Xiaoqiang was silent.

And in the entire hall, except for a certain soldier who was used to calm, the rest showed a smile.

As for Jia Xu's statement just now, it may not seem to be wrong on the surface, and it even sounds a little reasonable, but several strategists here are very clear that there is an extremely fundamental mistake in this statement, that is, Tao Qian's own attitude.

Although Li Shushi and Tao Qian do not have much intersection in this plane, he is still one of the objects of Li Shushi's attention, and from the information that has been transmitted one after another, he can probably piece together some of Tao Qian's character traits - ambitious, skillful, and a somewhat strong personality, although he has reined in after getting older, he still acts with a strong personal color. In addition, there are some people who hate the poor and love the rich, and they don't care about even the children of the poor, let alone those who are from civilian backgrounds.

Even if such a careerist in the late Han Dynasty chose Yuan Shu between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he was afraid that the choice was not to follow Yuan Shu all the way forward for his saddle, but to make a choice that seemed to be more beneficial to him after judging the situation like Gongsun Zan in the north. And compared to Gongsun Zhan, who can be said to have faced Yuan Shao's threat, Tao Qian's buffer space is obviously larger.

Such an alliance, just like the Sino-Soviet relations in history, is naturally not a problem to listen to the words of the alliance leader Big Brother when the interests are generally the same, but in private, it is strictly guarded against the dynamics of the Big Brother, and it is not weaker than the vigilance against foreign enemies. Whether the enemy can be defeated at that time is still two words, but the foundation that has been infiltrated will have to be handed over.

It can be seen from this that in the eyes of Tao Qian's group, compared to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who are just simple enemies, Yuan Shu is the force they are most wary of on weekdays, although this kind of consciousness will not be declared, but it is tacit.

It was precisely because they knew this very well that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could send envoys to maneuver between the various factions. And Yuan Shu directly sent the army to coerce, because Yuan Shu knew very well that it was impossible to change Xuzhou's attitude towards him just by words.

However, Li Shushi is also very clear that even if Cao Bao is really a straw bag, Mi Zhu is really just a businessman with vision, and Zhen Rong is really a good disciple who only knows how to eat fasting and recite Buddha, and he will not fall to Yuan Shu lightly when there are many choices. Especially if they fall to Yuan Shu, they will inevitably be embezzled by external forces.

As for the soldiers that Yuan Shu put there?

If Yuan Shu dares to make a big move, regardless of what Yuan Shao will do, Cao Cao, a black-skinned dwarf, will definitely not let go of the opportunity, and maybe he will make some concessions (such as independence or something). Then work with Xuzhou to play a front and back pinch attack for Yuan Shu.

Although it is not clear who has profited the most from this incident. But it definitely won't be Yuan Shu.

In other words, it would be better if Yuan Shu waited until the situation was clearer before doing anything or simply did nothing, but now he was so anxious that he really couldn't eat Xuzhou's hot tofu.

From this, it can be seen that Yuan Shu's heart has begun to swell because of the previous victory, and he can't see the situation in front of him clearly.

Yuan Highway, which has dominated the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, has made countless people look at it. From today onwards, if there are no accidents, it will probably be a foregone conclusion. And the comment that is most suitable for the rest of his political career. It is the evaluation of Yuan Shu's sentence "dry bones in the grave" when Kong Rong persuaded Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou Mu in the history of another plane.

"It's just that in this way, it doesn't seem to be able to see who has profited the most from Tao Qian's death?"

Tuoba Li looked around, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand weakly, not that he really couldn't figure out what to taste. But now is a rare opportunity, and he is naturally unwilling to let it go. After all, the strategists sitting next to Li Shushi now must be among the most outstanding people in the world, and it is precisely because of this belief that Tuoba Liwei, who rarely participates in the discussion of this kind of issue, has put his posture very low, and now he has thrown himself out as a brick.

For his small actions, except for Lu Bu and Gao Shun, two simple-minded creatures, even Li Shushi felt a little wrong. It's just that this feeling is not that he thinks that the other party's performance is a bit excessive like the other foxes, but just that with Tuoba Liwei's intellectual potential of up to 88, and he has been trained by Su Xiaololi for so long, how can his thoughts be so simple.

"How can you say that you can't see who is making the most profits?"

It's a pity that it was not a few strategists who were valued by Li Shushi who answered Tuoba Liwei, but the dead ant beside him.

"Huh? Chung Tat actually knew the answer to that question! This, this ......"

Looking at Tuoba Liwei's shocked look, a certain dead ant didn't know what kind of expression should be revealed, as a certain Lori who had also been trained for many years and could be regarded as a co-ordinating being, the relationship between the two people was not bad, so even if they made a few jokes without discipline, they wouldn't let the other party misunderstand.

It is better to say that it is deeply affected by an unreliable state pastor, and the discipline value of these two seems to be constantly losing.

By the way, the current Sima Yi has not yet performed the crown salute, but considering that the Sima family plans to give their generation the same title as "Sima Nda" like the Xun Eight Dragons, the words of Sima Yi, who is the second child, are self-evident.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sima Yi is extremely resistant to the affectionate title of "Xiao Yiyi" that someone imposes on him, which gives him this early release of the epithetical title.

"Although the political situation in Xuzhou is chaotic now, it seems that it is impossible to sort out who has the most benefits. But if it is linked to Liu Yu's death, then the answer becomes simple and straightforward. ”

"Zhongda, are you talking about Yuan Shao?"

"Yes, in the following opinion, Yuan Shao should be the most suspicious of these forces. As for the suspicion of other people, maybe it's like the plate of eggplant that was eaten by General Lu, we outsiders are afraid that it will be difficult to see it completely clearly in the current situation, and probably the other party is also pushing the boat with this mood. ”

Sima Yi said these words to someone in the venue, and his judgment was also supported by many people.

Indeed, from Liu Yu's death, you can feel a strong smell of conspiracy. Although there is no reliable evidence to prove it, why did Liu Yu, who knew that he was not good at commanding troops, unusually lead a large army to attack Gongsun Zhan, not only gave the other party the truth, but also compensated himself.

Is it because of the support of the Karasuma people?

It was obviously impossible for Liu Yu not to know what Gongsun Chan's record against the Karasuma people was.

So judging from the results, although on the surface, Yuan Shao's side lost Liu Yu's rather weighty golden signboard. But considering that Liu Yu didn't listen to Yuan Shao's words very much, if it weren't for the fact that he was in love with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu would have had no good impression of Yuan Shao, a careerist who planned to ruin his reputation in one life, and Liu Yu's death was a good thing for Yuan Shao.

Not to mention that because of Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Chan fell into self-aggrandizement, and at the same time disintegrated some Youzhou families who originally pinned their hopes on Gongsun Chan. Almost in the blink of an eye, the power of Gongsun Zhan, which had originally troubled Yuan Shao for a long time, became crumbling in this tumultuous rain, from-for-tat to easy, the only uncertainty was time.

Tao Qian's death had the same effect.

Because of Tao Qian's survival, Yuan Shao's Qingzhou strategy not only fell into a quagmire, but even in the eyes of many people, Yuan Tan faced Liu Bei, an "old opponent", a bit of a tendency to be broken, even if he guarded a Yellow River, it was completely unreassuring. If this last line of defense can't be held, then even if Gongsun Chan is in danger, if he echoes Liu Bei, it will still be enough to make Yuan Shao feel a headache, not to mention that the strength in Liu Bei's hands today is no longer comparable to when he was in Yuyang.

Also because of Tao Qian's existence, Cao Cao in the south needed to be distracted to face the two enemies of Yuan Shu and Tao Qian. Even if Cao Bao, the commander of the Southern Front Corps, has a limited level, he is barely competent to give the god-like Sun Ce an auxiliary harassment or something, so that Cao Cao always cares about one or the other, and the counterattack plan that has been brewing for a long time is stunned and cannot find a chance to implement it.

So, Tao Qian died, Xuzhou was in chaos, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Xuzhou is in such a mess, the pressure of Yuan Tan in Qingzhou disappeared immediately, Yuan Shao can free up his hands to solve Gongsun Zan with all his might, and at the same time, he still has the spare strength to go to Xuzhou to stir up the muddy water and see if there is anything cheap to take advantage of.

With Cao Bao leaving in the south, Cao Cao could also concentrate his forces against Yuan Shu, the greatest enemy of the Yuan-Shao-Cao Cao alliance, and at the same time finally turn around and think about how to deal with the powerful families who were increasingly dissatisfied with the policy of suppressing the powerful that he had implemented.

And because of the cooperation of Yuan Shu, who has been incarnated as a pig teammate, no matter which faction in Xuzhou is, they are beginning to tend to withdraw from the offensive and defensive alliance established with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan. Even if he won't throw himself into the arms of the Yuan Shao Alliance for the time being, just a neutral attitude has already made a huge difference in the balance of power on the battlefield.

Not to mention that there are rumors that Xuzhou is ready to use its rich material reserves in exchange for a reconciliation with Yuan Shao's alliance, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were originally a little tight because of the continuous war, can breathe a sigh of relief.

Therefore, even if Tao Qian's death was not Yuan Shao's doing, who called him the highest and got the most in this chaos.

Even if the sky falls, let your big tall man come to the top.

That's probably what most people think.

However, unconsciously, Yuan Shao finally began to get rid of the shackles that were originally wrapped around him.

It seems that the number of enemies that needed to be guarded against has changed from one to two.

However, the state army will not be afraid of this.

Looking at the big and small fritters around him who were smiling very badly, Li Shushi felt that he seemed to be a little more heroic in his heart. (To be continued......)
