When Yuan Shu returned to Changshan, disputes continued among the various princes.
Liu Dai borrowed grain from Qiao Mao, but Qiao Mao refused to give it to him. Then Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao and took away all his troops.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had a bad grudge, and they fought one after another.
"My lord, Sun Jian is the fierce tiger of Jiangdong. He will definitely have a battle with me in the future. Now that more than half of the troops in Jiangdong have been killed or injured, it is a great opportunity to eliminate the enemy."
Xu You came to Yuan Shao and whispered to him.
"Sun Jian's troops are fierce. Although they are small, their momentum is high. If he goes head-to-head, it's still unclear who will win. Do you really want to take such a risk?"
Yuan Shao also knew from Xu You's words that Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, would be his biggest rival to dominate Jingzhou in the future.
"Lord, I have a plan to get rid of Sun Jian."
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao, a light of wisdom appeared in his eyes.
"Ziyuan, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it."
Hearing that Xu You had a plan, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked for advice.
"My Lord, we have two enemies in Jingzhou. In addition to the Jiangdong Tigers and Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, why not write a letter to Liu Biao about this?
He said that Sun Jian had suffered a new defeat and lost his troops, so he ordered him to set up an ambush at Sanjin Ferry, and promised to support him in obtaining the post of governor of Changsha. He also sent tens of thousands of grains, grass, and stones, as well as ten thousand taels of gold, and Liu Biao would send troops to kill him."
Xu You's plan not only plotted against Sun Jian, but also Liu Biao who did not send troops. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
"Okay, Ziyuan, this is a great plan. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. I will immediately write to Liu Biao and ask him to send troops to rob and kill Sun Jian."
After hearing Xu You's plan, Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile. This plan was a waste of money.
In exchange for Sun Jian's life as the governor of Changsha, he could only get some food, grass, gold and silver to accompany him, but these were just drizzle to him.
After a month, which was nearly a month, Yuan Shu came to Changshan with the people who were coerced by Dong Zhuo.
"Lord, Feng has been waiting here for a long time."
Seeing Yuan Shu coming, Tian Feng rode his horse and rushed to Yuan Shu's side to pay him a courtesy.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yuan Hao."
Looking at the dusty Tian Feng, Yuan Shu knew that he must have been waiting here for a long time.
"My lord, Jizhou Mu Han Fu heard that you saved the people of Chang'an from fire and water, so he specially sent people to send 100,000 stones of food and grass. Now they have all been deposited in Zhending Mansion."
Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard that Han Fu was sending food to him. Why would Han Fu do this?
"My lord, Han Fu's move actually has a deeper meaning."
After hearing what Tian Feng said, Ju Shou couldn't help but ride his horse to Yuan Shu's side.
"explain."
"The lord led the coalition of princes to expel Dong Zhuo and fled west to Chang'an. His reputation was illustrious and unparalleled in the world.
One of the reasons why Han Fu sent grain was to capture the prestige of his lord, and sending grain was meant to please him.
The second is to show that Jizhou has abundant money and food and is rich in the world. With more money and food, there will naturally be more soldiers and horses, and it is a secret message that the Lord should not act rashly."
After listening to Ju Shou's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but nodded.
"My lord, Han Fu's move actually shows that he has a guilty conscience. Otherwise, why would he send food to please him? I have a plan that can easily control Jizhou."
After hearing Jushou's analysis, Tian Feng rode his horse and came to his side.
"Speak quickly,"
Looking at Yuan Shu's appearance, Tian Feng couldn't help but smile.
"My lord, please send a secret letter to Gongsun Zan of Peiping, inviting him to carve up Jizhou together. Gongsun Zan will be greedy and will happily lead his troops after receiving the letter.
Han Fu has neither courage nor strategy, so he must ask the lord to lead the troops of the prefectures and counties to stop him. In this way, isn't Jizhou easily accessible?"
Tian Feng's strategy was exactly the same as the strategy he had given to Yuan Shao at the right time in history. He threatened Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses to force Han Fu to surrender to Jizhou.
After hearing Tian Feng's plan, Yuan Shu couldn't help but nodded. What kind of role is Gongsun Zan? He has been fighting with the Northerners in Youzhou all year round. His men have strong soldiers and horses. Han Fu's men have never been able to defeat Gongsun Zan.
"My lord, Yuan Hao's strategy is very clever. Although Han Fu is neither brave nor wise, his subordinates Xin Ping and Xun Chen are both smart and open-minded. If he wants to succeed, he must first convince them."
Although Tian Feng's plan was good, if Xun Chen and Xin Ping blocked it, he would probably have to fight to the death. Therefore, if he wanted to capture Jizhou, he had to capture Xun Chen and Xin Ping first.
"Stop talking about that, let's go back to Zhending first. If these refugees want to, let them take root in Shiyi and be tax-free for three years. If they don't want to live in Shiyi County, they can come back to Zhending with us."
"promise."
Now that he has arrived in Changshan, Yuan Shu's heart is relieved.
After returning to Zhending, Yuan Shu discussed with Jushu and Tian Feng about plotting against Han Fu, but after much thought, it turned out that no one knew Xin Ping and Xun Chen, so it would be inappropriate to send people there rashly.
"Lord, there is someone outside asking to see you."
"Don't you know that the two gentlemen and I are discussing important matters?"
Hearing the shouting outside the door, Yuan Shu was very angry. Is this concierge stupid? Anyone dares to come and complain casually?
"My lord, it's not that I want to come and report, but that person said that my lord posted a recruitment order, isn't it just to recruit the world's heroes? Now that someone is coming, my lord is avoiding him. It makes sense, so I have no choice but to come and report.
"
The concierge was also depressed. Today, he was deceived by the lard and actually listened to that man's nonsense and came to report it in a daze.
"Huh? How many years have I been posting recruitment orders, and this is the first person who dares to come to the prefect's house in person. You two gentlemen, come with me to see what kind of people dare to visit my door."
"promise."
Yuan Shu, Ju Shou and Tian Feng came to the gate together and saw a tall, thin and imposing man standing outside the gate of the prefect's mansion.
"I don't know what Xun You's crime is if you welcome me in person."
Yuan Shu went out to greet them in person, which shocked the man's heart. He hurriedly came to the three of them and saluted with clasped fists.
"Xun You? But Xun You, Xun Gongda, the Huangmenlang who served under General He Jin?"
When he heard that the other party called himself Xun You, Jushou was shocked and asked immediately.
"It's down there."
Xun You nodded.
"It's my great fortune that Gongda can come. Dian Wei ordered people to prepare a banquet. I want to drink with Gongda."
"promise."
Jushuo was greatly shocked, but Yuan Shu quietly opened his Heavenly Eye Technique and looked at the purple and golden light beam in front of him, and then he was sure that the person in front of him was Xun You and Xun Gongda.
"Well, I would like to thank you sir in advance."
Yuan Shu took Xun You's hand and went directly to the prefect's mansion. Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other and smiled behind him. It seemed that they knew how powerful Xun You was and there was no need to introduce him.
The four of them sat down, and some servants served them wine and food. After the three nobles finished drinking, the conversation started.
"I wonder where Gongda comes from."
Tian Feng drank all the wine in one gulp, and then asked Xun You.
"I'm from Chang'an."
Xun You didn't hide anything and directly revealed his itinerary.
"I wonder how Chang'an is doing now?"
When they heard that Xun You was coming from Chang'an, the three of them were all interested.
"Since Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an, Chang'an has been a hell on earth. You are not talented. You wanted to kill Dong Zhuo but couldn't, so you came to seek refuge with me."
