Listening to the "righteous words" of the alliance leader Yuan Shu, the princes present raised their eyebrows slightly. They all looked at the deputy alliance leaders Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the center of the hall with the attitude of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously!
The two people who made the mistake lowered their heads and remained silent for the time being. After they analyzed the implication of Yuan Shu's words, their faces became extremely ugly. Their faces turned the color of pig liver with shame and anger, and several blue veins popped up at their temples. They dared not speak out in anger. The two of them felt as if they had eaten a big pile of shit with blow flies in front of everyone!
Seeing that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao remained silent, Yuan Shu, who was in a high position, grinned lightly, his bright eyes flashed with a cunning luster, and just a raised eyebrow made the man sitting there Yang Jian in the hall instantly woke up and hurriedly echoed Yuan Shu's words, and promptly dispatched his generals Yuwen Chengdu and Jiao Benzhong to assist the general and Tian Yunpeng.
"Ben Chu, Meng De, what do you two think? If you can't figure out how to compensate Tao Shijun, how about you let me make the decision for you?" Yuan Shu, who was smiling but not smiling, stared at Cao Cao meaningfully for a long time. , Cao Cao instantly understood from his eyes, and hurriedly pulled Yuan Shao beside him and replied: "I will comply with the arrangement of the alliance leader." After listening to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's words, the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth slightly raised, and he walked towards Tao Qian respectfully. He bowed, and then said: "I heard that Dongping State and Rencheng State in Yanzhou are rich in products. I was thinking, how about Mengde give these two lands to Tao Shijun?" Dongping State and Rencheng State border Xuzhou, but currently these two areas are under the rule of the rebel Chen Youliang. Even if Cao Cao cedes these territories to Tao Qian's jurisdiction, Tao Qian would not dare to send troops to take over. !
Perhaps Yuan Shu had considered Tao Qian's idea, or perhaps Yuan Shu had other ideas. Just when Tao Qian looked worried and was about to refuse, Yuan Shu took the lead and said: "As for the rebel Chen Youliang forces in Yanzhou, please introduce At that time, I can send an army to the north to help Commander Tao, and then Brother Meng De will send an army east to help Commander Tao. We will attack from three directions, and we will not worry about the rebels being wiped out!" With Yuan Shu patting his chest to guarantee, Tao Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and accepted Cao Cao's compensation for dividing the territory.
In this way, there was no problem for Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu made a vague gesture to the nearby generals. After the generals understood, they immediately let go of Zhang Kui and Xia Hou.
"At the beginning, Meng De compensated Tao Shijun with two pieces of land. You can't also compensate him with the land. Your home base is in the north. Even if you are willing to give it, Tao Shijun can't stretch out such a long hand!" Yuan Shao His face was stern, his brows were furrowed, and his head was rapidly thinking of countermeasures. Just when he was at a loss, Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, spoke again.
"Otherwise, since Tao Shijun will lead his army westward to defeat the rebel Chen Youliang in the future, how about you compensate him with some strategic materials? Just tens of thousands of war horses, tens of thousands of stones, grain and grass, or tens of thousands Just a secondary weapon or an armor or something like that!" Yuan Shu took the place of Tao Qian, who was standing next to him, and raised the price. Yuan Shao's eyes widened when he heard this. He was forced by the threats from the nearby fierce generals Tian Yunpeng, generals and others, and suppressed his inner anger and chose to bargain on the spot.
.... In the end, the two forces discussed and decided that after the battle against Dong, Yuan Shao would first compensate Tao Qian with his headquarters' 3,000 horses and 10,000 stones of grain and grass, and then send a caravan to Xuzhou to fight with Xuzhou. Conduct transactions with the Mi family and connect the trade between the north and the south!
After the conflict was resolved, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian bowed respectfully to the alliance leader Yuan Shu with a face full of joy. Then he stumbled back to his seat and frequently raised his glass to Liu Bei, Han Fu, Sun Jian, and Yang Jian. , Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and other princes who had said good things to him toasted!
And when the alliance leader Yuan Shu toasted in return, his eyes showed a hint of joy and disdain after succeeding. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help but sarcastically said in his heart, this Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian has lived for such a long time. But his brain is not working very well. Under the guise of thinking about him, he cheated him, but he didn't notice it at all.
The main reason why Yuan Shu just patted his chest and agreed to assist Tao Qian to settle in the eastern part of Yanzhou for free was to make Yuzhou's army division famous in the Yanxu Campaign to conquer Chen Youliang, so that they could join in naturally, and Make a fortune out of it!
With the Yuzhou Army disrupting the situation, when will Chen Youliang's forces be destroyed, and when will the Xuzhou and Yanzhou coalition forces eradicate Chen Youliang's forces? Isn't that what Yuan Shu ordered?
In addition, Yuan Shao was arranged to send a caravan to Xuzhou. Yuan Shu's real purpose was to build Xuzhou into a hub for trade between the north and the south. The Xuzhou Mi family sent a signal of cooperation to Yuan as early as the end of the Yellow Turban Uprising. , but Yuan Shu had always let Yuan Fang, Shen Wansan, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping take over the business dealings, so he didn't pay too much attention to these matters.
Now we have just seized the opportunity. After both Yuzhou and Yangzhou fall under Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, and with the cooperation of Jingzhou, where his relative Yang Jian is located, the Yuan family has the full strength to unify the entire southern market, and then integrate resources to cooperate with the local power Mi family in Xuzhou.
As the saying goes, a businessman cannot afford to be too early if he is not profitable. If huge profits can be used to persuade the Mi family to switch to the Yuan family, then in the huge Xuzhou, Yuan Shu will become the second largest force after Tao Qian. Then we can take advantage of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian and complete the merger of Xu Yuyang and the three states, which is just around the corner!
Compared to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao temporarily handed over a territory occupied by rebels to the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. Later, conflicts occurred between Tao Qian and Chen Youliang, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to reap the benefits.
Furthermore, Chen Youliang's forces in the east of Yanzhou are controlled by Tao Qian's army, so Cao Cao can confidently and boldly send heavy troops to encircle and suppress Tian Hu's forces entrenched in Jibei Kingdom. In this way, it can reduce unnecessary Even with the casualties, we can still regain the lost ground, so why not?
As for Yuan Shao in Jizhou, as early as the end of the Songshan Encirclement and Suppression War, Yuan Shu had secretly discussed today's matter with Yuan Shao. Once Tao Qian was blamed, he asked him to give up part of the strategic materials and then plot greater interests.
The so-called greater benefits naturally refer to the generous returns generated from the trade contacts between the north and the south. Not only that, but also related to the plan to unify the entire Jizhou. As long as Yuan Shao compromises with Tao Qian, Yuan Shu will secretly assist him Get rid of Han Fu, Huang Chao, and Zhu Wen, then get involved in Youzhou, eradicate Gongsun Shu's forces, and complete the unification of the north!
The two Yuans in the north and the south, the world of the Yuan family, is the pie that Yuan Shu drew for Yuan Shao, which happens to be in line with Yuan Shao's inner thoughts... —————— I wish brother Xiaofeng Lanyue a happy birthday today!
