After hearing the method of trial matching, Xu You and others did not speak immediately. They all lowered their heads and thought about the feasibility of this matter.

They knew very well that although what Shen Pei said was very feasible, the focus of the whole matter was on Liu Bei and others in Xuzhou.

If Liu Bei and others cannot effectively hold back Chen Gong, even if Yuan Tan advances westward and reaches Yanzhou, he will still be stopped by Chen Gong and will not achieve much.

But the question is, can Liu Bei hold back Chen Gong?

The answer is yes, but Liu Bei may not necessarily do this.

You know, Liu Bei's character has collapsed now, and everyone knows that Liu Bei is a hypocrite. Liu Bei is also completely ruined, and he does not care about his reputation at all.

If Liu Bei's character had not collapsed in the past, as long as he could get a promise from Liu Bei, everyone present would believe that Liu Bei could hold back Chen Gong as agreed.

But now, what can't Liu Bei do? He will probably agree to you face to face, and then turn around and sell you.

"Zhengnan, everything you said is based on Liu Bei's willingness to send troops to escape from Chen Palace, so that the eldest son can successfully enter Xuzhou."

"But now Liu Bei's character, to be honest, I don't think Liu Bei will be willing to help us hold Chen Gong down with all his heart. If Chen Gong can return to Yanzhou, the eldest son will also be in trouble. I wonder if Zhengnan can find a way

Solve it?" Jushou thought for a while and then asked.

After all, it was more appropriate for Jushou to ask this question, because except for him and Tian Feng, everyone else present had factions.

If someone from the Third Young Master Yuan Shang's faction were to ask, it would most likely appear to be questioning.

At this time, everything is focused on the overall situation.

"I have also considered this matter. Liu Bei is hypocritical, but he values ​​practical benefits. As long as we can offer benefits that Liu Bei cannot refuse, he will definitely be able to hold Chen Gong back." Shen Pei said slowly.

Since he is the proposer of the entire plan, he can naturally consider all aspects.

"Zhengnan, what do you mean?" Jushou asked with some confusion.

"The land of Xuzhou has become extremely corrupt. It is no longer realistic for our army to control Xuzhou. Not counting Lu Bu's power, there are three forces in Xuzhou at this time: the eldest son, Liu Bei and Sun Quan."

"In this case, why don't we withdraw from Xuzhou and use the land of Xuzhou controlled by our army as a condition in exchange for Liu Bei's bargaining chip to hold Chen Gong back." Shen Pei pointed to the Kanyu map behind him.

After hearing what Shen Pei said, everyone looked at the Kan map carefully. Although Yuan Tan successfully captured the city in the north of Xuzhou, the area was the same area where the Yellow Turban Army had been raging before. The people fled one after another, and very few of the remaining people were left.

.

This is useless. Although the land is vast, there are no people and it is difficult to defend. It is all a plain and there is no danger to defend.

If we say that ceding the northern part of Xuzhou to Liu Bei, we can indeed get Liu Bei's support. But the problem is that with Lu Bu's withdrawal, the northern part of Xuzhou was also cleared by the eldest son.

It can be said that the public security here has been greatly improved. When the time comes, as long as people are resettled here, the area will be restored to life within a year or two.

Originally, according to Yuan Shao's previous plan, he wanted to move the people of Qingzhou to the north of Xuzhou. In this way, he could gain a foothold in the north of Xuzhou and then slowly move there.

But now, the northern part of Xuzhou needs to be given away, which makes some people present very dissatisfied.

"Brother Zhengnan, have you ever thought about the cities in the north of Xuzhou, which were conquered only by the soldiers under his command after a bloody battle, and were so easily let out, how can we send a message to the master?" Guo Tu said at this time.

"Brother Gongze, we don't have the extra energy to pay attention to the northern part of Xuzhou now. If we can trade half of Xuzhou in exchange for defeating Cao Cao, my lord is more willing than that."

"Our biggest enemy now is Cao Cao. Only by defeating him can the lord ride on the wind and rise! I hope you don't just focus on the small gains in front of you."

When Guo Tu heard what Shen Pei said, although he knew that giving up half of Xuzhou was indeed the best choice at the moment, by doing so, the eldest son would also lose half of Xuzhou. Isn't this the rudeness of others?

As if he could see Guo Tu's dissatisfaction, Shen Pei just thought about it briefly and knew what Guo Tu was dissatisfied with.

"Brother Gongze, don't worry. As long as we can defeat Cao Cao, I will definitely get back the Xuzhou lost by the eldest son!" Shen Pei looked at Guo Tu and said calmly.

"In this case, I have nothing to say. It's just that if I give up all Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's strength will be greatly increased and it will be difficult to control him in the future." Guo Tu nodded and slowly said another thing.

"I have also thought about what Brother Gongze said. Therefore, I plan to assign Yangzhou and Yuzhou to Sun Quan. In this way, Sun Quan's strength will be greatly increased. When the time comes, we will secretly promise Sun Quan to let him go to fight with Liu Bei.

Fight for Xuzhou. We can also make profits secretly." Shenpei pointed to the land of Yangzhou and Yuzhou.

"I'm afraid Liu Bei and Sun Quan will be easily fooled by this...this kind of strategy." Xu You said slowly.

"What's so difficult about this? When the time comes, we will declare Liu Bei to be the shepherd of Yuzhou. With Liu Bei's character, he will definitely find a way to annex Yuzhou controlled by Sun Quan. In this case, they will also fight?" Shen Pei Dandan said

smiled.

"I understand what Zhengnan means. As long as Liu Bei agrees to stop Chen Gong for us first, we can make any promise. At that time, we can use other methods to provoke a fight between Liu Bei and other princes, so as to drive the tiger away.

I admire you for your strategy of swallowing wolves." Xu You completely understood the meaning of Shen Ping this time.

"That's it. Please take a look, gentlemen, if there is anything to add. If not, how about we make suggestions to the lord together?" Shen Pei said to everyone with a smile.

Everyone present agreed and went to find Yuan Shao together.

Yuan Shao, who was suffering from a headache, just wanted to lie down at this time. Seeing that everyone rarely agreed, he naturally agreed and sent a fast horse to send a message to Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Liu Bei.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang received orders from Yuan Shao. Even if they were unwilling, they could only act according to Yuan Shao's wishes.

On the contrary, it was Liu Bei's side. After he received a message from Yuan Shao and made it clear that he would give up all the northern Xuzhou controlled by Yuan Tan to him, he suddenly felt that his Xuzhou Mu was the real powerful Zhou Mu.

.

You must know that Xuzhou is a prosperous state and county. The grain and taxes produced every year are among the best in the world. With money, grain, and soldiers, the more capital he has to compete in the world.

Finally, Liu Bei said confidently and boldly to his subordinates in his big tent: "Xuzhou has witnessed more than fifty large-scale conquests in the past dynasties."
