"Cui Xiangguo, the current situation is not because of worrying about Li You going north, but how to deal with Yuan Zhang's attack. Lu Jerry Lu, who came from Fanyang's Lu family, stood up and said, "Now the essence of our governance is in Henan Road. Even if we lose Duji Road, we cannot hurt the root cause. But if Yuan Zhang attacks Henan Road, everything will be over. Even if we still keep Duji Road?"

In terms of area, Duji Road does not have Henan Road; in terms of population, Duji Road has been swept by the King of Qi and Yalehan in turn, and countless people have been lost, and the total total is even less than one-tenth of Henan Road; in terms of tax revenue, the expenses of the King of Qi in the past in Duji Road were far beyond the income from exploiting the people.

Of course, what is more important is that the wealthy families who hold the power of the Qi King’s small court have all their foundations in Henan Road, so when Lu Chengxu said this, everyone suddenly became quiet.

"Mr. Lu is right. Dogi is just a useless person. As long as we leave a few troops to defend Dogi and enter the key points of Henan Road, we can send the 80,000 troops to the north to resist Yuan Zhang's army." With these 80,000 troops and 150,000 defenders in the north, it is still no problem to defend twice the strength of the Northern Lu? In this way, at least the safety of our own family can be kept. As for the people of Dogi, they don't care at all.

"Since Li You had already announced the world a few days ago and called on all the heroes to resist the Northern Territory together, if he did not attack Gyeonggi Province, but took the opportunity to invade Doji Province, the people of the world would despise it." Since they had made a decision, they also found out all kinds of excuses that sounded extremely reliable, and these people were the best at doing these things.

"That's right! No one can stand without trust. If Li You wants to fight for the world, he cannot ignore what he said before. Even if Dujidao does not leave any troops or horses, he will not dare to invade them." Someone immediately responded with righteous words.

"Cui Prime Minister, it seems that Dogi Province can rest assured, so I'd better send troops north; although Yuan Zhang heard that Li You might go north and go north and attack Li You directly, we have to prepare early." Another minister bowed and said, and at the same time, another strategy emerged in his mind. Since the good water tank, the Northern Territory has won consecutive battles, but he suffered several losses in Li You's hands. It must be that Yuan Zhang has regarded Li You as a big trouble in his heart. So when he goes south, can he send an envoy to discuss with him and use the opportunity to let him pass through Dogi Province and attack Li You with both sides with Yalehan?

I think he would probably not refuse such a good thing? If the two armies start to fight, Henan Dao can not only protect their own safety and lead the war to Li You, but also reap the benefits of the fisherman. When they fight to the point where both sides are injured, they will then attack Li You and Yuan Zhang from the rear, and then the capital will be at your fingertips, and it will not be impossible to conquer the south and north to unify the world in the future.

Cui Jidao's eyes also lit up. He glanced at everyone meaningfully, and thought that he had guessed their thoughts. So he pondered for a moment and gently stroked his beard and said, "Since that's the case, as you said, send all the 80,000 troops from Dujidao to the north; in addition, he informed the world of Li You's documents a few days ago, so that everyone in the world would see Li You's determination to fight the Northern Territory."

"The Prime Minister is good at making plans!" Lu Chengxu couldn't help but slamming the high ground, "As a result, everyone in the world would think that Li You was determined to deal with the Northern Barbarians. If he dared to attack Duji Road, he would definitely be despised by the people of the world."

Everyone was also praised. By arousing public opinion, they achieved their desired goals. These methods are their best tricks. After Lu Chengqing finished praising them, he even said, "It is better to just take Tangzhou away from Shenzhou to Gyeonggi Province and make way for Li You to go north. Seeing that he is still embarrassed to attack us?"

"In this way, Yalehan, who has reason to block the capital for us, doesn't have to worry about being attacked from both sides. We just need to deal with Yuan Zhang in the north." Cui Jidao nodded and praised. Perhaps he didn't even need to deal with Yuan Zhang, but who would send to Yuan Zhang's army to be an envoy to convince him to attack Li You?

In this way, the little court of King Qi also made corresponding arrangements based on the situation they were facing. Perhaps in their opinion, they could easily deal with this crisis with their magical tricks. They could not say that they could also give Beilu and Li You a great blow, and expand their territory and strength at the same time.

Soon, the King of Qi in Duji Province began to pack their bags and pull out their camps to the north. Cui Jidao also sent an envoy to Li You's army to clarify that they had already emptied Tangzhou and that the Jiazhou army could go north to Tangzhou and approach Gyeonggi Province of the pseudo-Chu.

"What did Cui Jidao and the others think? They would be kind-hearted to make way for us?" After seeing off the envoy, Li You summoned the generals to discuss this new situation that suddenly appeared.

"Maybe they were worried that Yalehan would lead his troops eastward and attack Henan Road with Yuan Zhang? So they might as well make way for us to use our troops to block Yalehan?" Luo Shiji guessed.

"Maybe there is a reason, but aren't they afraid that we will take the opportunity to occupy Dogi Province?" Li You nodded in agreement, but Luo Shiji's reason seemed to be a little insufficient.

"Now the Taiwei has announced the world that he wants to go north to resist the Tartars. If he attacks Dujidao, it may be unfavorable to the reputation of the Taiwei. Cui Jidao and others probably think so, right?" Sun Chuyang said. If he wants to dominate the world, reputation is still very important. Now, even if Li You wants to take the opportunity to occupy Dujidao, he may also advise him.

After a while of discussion, there was no definite result, so Li You no longer struggled, "No matter what they thought, Tangzhou has become a general route now, but it is an indisputable fact. Send a post to investigate and see if there are any ambushes near Tangzhou. If not, we will rush our troops north! As for the King of Qi, just send a detailed work and inquire more."

Li You had never thought of taking the opportunity to occupy Duji Road, so hesitated for a while before making the final decision. For Qin Shixin, Zhou Bofu and others, attacking the Northern Territory was much more interested than attacking the King of Qi. They took the order with mercy and immediately went down to prepare for the expedition.

A few days later, the spy reported that there were no soldiers from the King of Qi along the way to Gyeonggi Province through Tangzhou. Then Li You issued an order to set up the camp and marched north in a long line to force Xu Shiyong's Gyeonggi Province. At this time, Yalehan also waited for Arubu's reinforcements.
