Lu's relatives

Chapter 311 Chen Ji succeeds in scheming and deceives Yuan Shu with clever words

These days, it seems that people with a little bit of strength like to save a large amount of food, grass and money and hide them somewhere, in order to leave a way out for themselves when they are frustrated.

Dong Zhuo was like this before, Gongsun Zan was like this, even Kan Xuan, an arrogant guy who called himself the emperor, was no exception, and Tao Qian was naturally unavoidable.

No wonder Yuan Shu coveted the "things" in the potter's hands.In the past, when Dong Zhuo was finished, it was easier for Lu Bu and Xiliang's generals; Gongsun's ruined property seemed to be to fulfill Liu Bei after all; ;These relics of Tao Qian were used by him, Yuan Gonglu, as capital for success, isn't it considered a bright pearl in the dust?At the very least, it is much more useful than letting a pottery merchant, a "scumbag" who doesn't love grandma and uncle, ruin it.

Originally, when Yuan Shu wanted to "cooperate" with his own family, the potter had the idea of ​​the potter. Originally, he just wanted to use the name of the pottery as Tao Qian's eldest son to put a layer of righteousness on the strategy of Xuzhou, but he didn't expect it. A pleasant surprise.Especially in addition to those goods, food and grass, there are also those who can clearly guess that they are the cavalry of Lu Bu's army. In the battle where they did not break through the line of defense after a lot of effort, Danyang's elite soldiers showed super combat power. For the first time, Yuan Shu paid more attention to these long-coveted Danyang soldiers, and for the first time surpassed his interest in the property left by Tao Qian.

Just thinking about Yuan Shu makes him feel very refreshed.If he, Yuan, had such a well-known veteran elite soldier with super combat power as his wings, enough food, grass and goods to recruit and feed tens of thousands of troops, coupled with the appeal of the old Yuan family and the unparalleled artifact in his hand... It would be really weird if Chuan Guo Yuxi could not achieve great things.With "big ambitions" in mind, Yuan Shu has never even felt that his ideal is so close to him!

As for other matters, such as whether Lu Bu's army will send another large army to attack the camp after Cheng Lian's defeat and escape, and whether Xiapi will take action after learning the news, However, all of them are out of Yuan Shu's consideration.After all, compared to Xuzhou, which is a fertile land adjacent to Qingzhou, even if it can be captured quickly, and Qingzhou has to do nothing, if you want to see quick results, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.Right now Yuan Shu has found a quicker, easier and more effective way to increase his military power.

In Yuan Shu's mind, as long as he can control the pottery merchants in an all-round way, or eventually replace them, it is comparable to Xuzhou, which needs to be carefully managed and guarded against the attacks of enemies from all directions. Much more convenient.

However, Yuan Shu also understood the truth that haste makes waste. Although he wished to use methods against the potter immediately, if the potter's vigilance was aroused, the gain would outweigh the loss.Moreover, from the conversation with the pottery merchant, it can be seen that the pottery merchant has a disdain for the powerful generals of Qingzhou. Originally, Yuan Shu was still laughing at the pottery merchant's arrogance in his heart, but after the few words of the pottery merchant and Yuan Shu's On the sidelines, Yuan Shu also vaguely saw the reason why some pottery merchants were like this.What's more, Yuan Shu was quite surprised to find that Qingzhou, who couldn't even talk about his own cheap dead brother, was actually among the high-level officials, and there was a place where the potters firmly believed that they would win against Lu Bu's army.On the contrary, even Yuan Shu has lowered his attention to the number one general in the world. The co-author is owned by Lu Bu, and it seems to have stabilized. Qingzhou, which seems to be extremely difficult to mess with, is not monolithic!What a surprise.

The development of the matter made Yuan Shu feel that the world and the earth are united, and his desire for the great ambition in his heart became more intense.And now the only thing that can make Yuan Shu feel worried is the strange calm in Xiapi City.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon!After Cheng Lian retreated, there seemed to be no news, and the scouts reported that outside Xiapi City, except for some traces of a large-scale army that was difficult to determine, the city gate was closed as always.Moreover, the Danyang soldiers who had been deeply favored by Tao Qian and who came to join the pottery merchants at night in the past few days were not greatly affected.There is a hint of weirdness in the calm!
The actions of Yuan Tan and Cao Cao were all very secretive, perhaps because the news had not yet come, Yuan Shu used himself to save others, especially after knowing the hidden dangers in Qingzhou, he did not expect that Lu Bu would actually lead his own troops. this.The counselors Chen Ji, Yan Xiang and others under his command also felt that they couldn't see through the current elusive situation, and they didn't dare to speak out their thoughts easily.

"My lord, the vanguard of Lu Bu's army came to test the lord's strength this time, but he returned in a feather. Presumably, he will make some moves. Although the lord's might is enough to break his heart, he should make a quick decision! After all, our food and grass are already gone. Not much more!" Unlike Ji Ling and Yan Xiang, who were not optimistic about Yuan Shu's new army, Chen Ji's remonstrance catered to Yuan Shu's appetite, and Yuan Shu nodded repeatedly.

"Then according to what Shuzhi saw, what should we do this time?" Speaking of which, Yuan Shu regarded Chen Ji, the counselor who "obtained" the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom, as his real confidant, and what Chen Ji said Even a stubborn person like Yuan Shu can listen to his tact.

"My lord led an army of nearly [-] people this time, and attacked Xiapi in two directions. What did you do?" Chen Ji rolled his eyes a few times, but instead of directly answering Yuan Shu, he asked Yuan Shu.

"Why do you need to play with each other? Of course, someone came here for the fertile land of Xuzhou. If you want to use it to achieve great things, why talk too much?" Yuan Shu didn't quite understand what Chen Ji meant, but he still answered patiently. Said.

"Then what does my lord think of the pottery merchant? Although this young man has a violent temper, he is quite on guard, and he also has a lot of experience in the matter of trying to steal money. General Li Feng has been there for a few days, not only did he not get involved Going back to the news of the money that the potter said, on the contrary, the potter thought carefully, and got our army hundreds of shi for no reason! If this continues, I am afraid that the army in Xiapi City has not waited for it to come. Gong, I'm going to run out of food first!" Chen Ji stroked a piece of warm jade in his sleeve, and said with a sneer: "Besides, my lord is here in the name of seeking justice for the old Tao family. Lu Bu's army pinned their hopes on the army in Xiapi City, but they only sent a cavalry to help. , the pottery merchant has the identity of Xuzhou Mugongzi back then, and it is justifiable to control Xuzhou, and he can mobilize [-] Danyang soldiers, so who is in charge of this Xuzhou?"

"Hiss... Shu's words are quite reasonable, but..." Yuan Shu also knew that keeping the potters in the army, if one is not handled well, it is very easy to make wedding clothes for others, but Yuan Shu is really greedy for potters The goods in his hands were really in a dilemma, and he muttered to himself.

"My lord, don't worry! It's actually very easy to solve this matter!" Chen Ji's eyes flashed a bit of cunning, but when Yuan Shu turned his attention to him, he hid it well.Said with a confident look.

"Huh? What's the trick, why don't you tell me quickly!" Yuan Shu's mind is also in a state of excitement all day long due to the recent series of stimuli. He has done too many dreams of this great cause, but it is actually a serious injury to his body. .Seeing that he was in a dilemma now, Yuan Shu heard that Chen Ji had a solution, and immediately asked as if he had drunk ice water to his heart's content during the dog days.

"My lord, have you ever heard that the poem said: Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king! This sentence?" Chen Ji's mouth showed a bit of ferocity, as if thinking of something, his eyes froze immediately Li, took a deep breath, approached Yuan Shu and said.

"Yuan has heard this before, this sentence comes from..." Yuan Shu didn't recover for a while, he couldn't figure out what Chen Ji was doing, but when he saw Chen Ji's crazy eyes, he was stunned. , his expression also changed drastically, and he said in surprise: "Shuzhi said, could it be..."

"My lord Mingjian!" Chen Ji stopped looking at Yuan Shu's face, and simply fell to his knees, saying: "The world is in chaos now, and it is the time when all the heroes are rising together. In the past, Yuan Shao ruled Hebei, and Cao Cao He, Lu Bu and others separatist the Central Plains, these are the enemies of the lord. Although the lord has obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, he is a man of destiny, but if this artifact is only a dead thing, what can be done even if Xuzhou is captured? The lord is now the pillar of the Yuan family, but although Yuan Shao is dead, he is already a usurped general. Cao Cao, Lu Bu and even Qin Xu are also high-ranking officials of the Jiuqing. And according to reliable sources, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan Also in the land of Bingzhou, please ask the imperial court to allow him to take over the position of Yuan Shao. Even if this arrogant pottery merchant really wins Xuzhou with the help of the lord, even if he takes shelter from the lord, the young emperor will have nothing to do. The soldiers have no food to shelter under Cao Cao. In order to ensure the stability of the situation, they will inevitably acquiesce to this fact. Moreover, Cao Cao urgently needs a force that can contain Lv Bu in Qingzhou. It is the fact that the lord uses it to control Xuzhou, but it also lacks its name! Don't forget, my lord, because I waited for the attack on Chenliu before, although you now possess the artifact, you are the one who deserves the destiny. But he’s just a post-general!”

"Shu Zhi's words are reasonable! Huh! Please get up quickly!" Yuan Shu had already understood what Chen Ji meant when Chen Ji spoke, but he pretended to have suddenly awakened and helped Chen Ji up himself. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he was trying to hide his smile, and the lines of laughter on his face spread a lot, but he still looked embarrassed, and said in a mixed voice: "I know the truth of this, but I'm afraid it's not enough benevolence, it's hard to grasp." Artifact!"

"My lord is too modest! The fourth generation and third lord of the Yuan family have disciples and old officials all over the world. It can be said that the gentry has already returned their hearts! Now the lord has an army of [-], and they all live because of the lord. When they are thinking of repaying, the lord can go one step further. Even if they were given a chance to serve as the ministers of the dragon, how could they object? As for what the lord is thinking, the solution actually lies in this. Didn't the pottery merchant also say that the civil strife in Qingzhou is imminent? Although Lu Bu's army is numerous, In fact, it is nothing to worry about. When it is impossible to say, when Lu Bu panics, he will take the initiative to send the son back to make a good relationship with the lord! But the pottery merchant only wants to get back his father's inheritance, so the lord named him a Xuzhou shepherd So what? At that time, the lord was under righteousness, and as the lord’s minister, he naturally had to serve the lord. How would it be any different if the Danyang soldiers were in the hands of the lord? I hope the lord will think carefully about it!”

"Well, what you say makes sense!! It's really my ovary!"
