After pondering for a while, Yuan Shao said, "Xue Tao has come to Yecheng. The next time I meet him, I don't want to make any noise. I agree to his terms and then take the opportunity to attack Guo. Or do you want to woo this person and inform Xue Tao of the plan? "

The operation of the two schemes is also different.

Of course, it would be easier for Xue Tao to accept Yuan Shao's entry into Hanoi. After all, Xue Tao is an outspoken counsellor. He has a outspoken counsellor as his internal agent, and his annexation is just around the corner.

Guo Tu said: "my Lord, this is not a problem. When my lord meets Xue Tao, he can test him."

After a pause, Guo Tu said again: "earlier, when Xu you was not arrested, he sent back a letter saying that Xue Tao's yearning for the public heart of the LORD was an excellent target to win over. With this premise, I think it's better. "

"Good!"

Yuan Shao said immediately, "come on, Xue Tao!"

The soldiers went to inform him. Soon, Xue Tao came to the hall. He was the counsellor of Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang. In Hanoi County, there were some identities, but in front of Yuan Shao, he was afraid to overstep.

"When Xue Tao and others came to the hall, they gathered their hands together and looked in circles

Yuan Shao said, "Mr. Xue doesn't need to be polite."

Seeing that Yuan Shao was so courteous and gentle, Xue Tao was very calm and said, "report back to the general. I'm coming to Yecheng for Hongnong county."

Yuan Shao said, "I have already known about Hongnong county."

Xue Tao leaned forward slightly and said immediately, "since the general knows about the war in Hongnong County, he should know that Zhang Xiu is rampant, and he doesn't know how the general will deal with it?"

"I think that if we don't curb Zhang Xiu, I'm afraid the next step for Zhang Xiu is to enter Hanoi. With Zhang Xiu's greedy nature, the next step is likely to invade Jizhou. "

"Of course, it is impossible to threaten Jizhou, the general, with Zhang Xiu's tiny strength."

"After all, there is a huge gap between the two sides."

Xue Tao said: "but Zhang Xiu may have an impact on the general, and even the good situation of the general. He thought that the general should make arrangements as soon as possible to attack Zhang Xiu and strangle her in advance, so as to avoid her becoming a big man. "

Guo Tu stood up and bowed his hands.

With both hands on his back, he said slowly, "Mr. Xue is very polite

Xue Tao replied with respect.

Guo Tu said: "what Mr. Xue said is reasonable. As you said just now, Zhang Xiu may only affect Jizhou. As long as the Lord sends troops, Zhang Xiu will be defeated. But it's different for Hanoi county. Once Zhang Xiu's army enters Hanoi County, I'm afraid Zhang Yang can't keep it. Mr. Xue, what do you think of the situation in Hanoi? You have the idea of planning ahead. "

Xue Tao's mind kept turning.

Thinking about the purpose of Guo Tu's saying so, in order to make a response.

After thinking about it, Xue Tao raised his eyebrows and suddenly came up with an idea that Yuan Shao also had an idea about Hanoi Prefecture. In fact, when Sui Gu was not captured by Zhang Xiu, he suggested that Zhang Yang should submit to Yuan Shao for protection.

It's just that Zhang Yang refused.

Zhang Yang's idea is to defend his one mu three Fen land and want to be the local emperor of Hanoi county. But in today's situation, Zhang Yang wants to occupy Hanoi Prefecture steadily, but Xue Tao thinks it is not feasible.

Because Zhang Xiu will attack Hanoi Prefecture.

The only way out for Hanoi Prefecture was to submit to Yuan Shao for his protection.

Having made a judgment in his mind, Xue Tao said: "the situation in Hanoi county can be said to be a bit like a dead egg. Zhang Xiu's troops are sharp and unstoppable. I believe that the only way out is to rely on the general. "

Guo Tu said: "I don't know Mr. Xue. Would you like to work in Yecheng?"

Guo Tu asked directly.

Tian Feng heard Guo Tu's words and shook his head. In his opinion, there is no need to inform Xue Tao of his plan. Zhang Yang sent Xue Tao to ask for help. All he had to do was agree to Zhang Yang.

After entering Hanoi county and arriving in huaixian County, the army can take any chance to win publicity.

In this way, the situation in Hanoi county is settled.

No need for Xue Tao.

Only according to the information sent back earlier, Xue Tao may have courted him.

Therefore, Tian Fengcai did not speak.

On hearing Guo Tu's words, Xue Tao immediately knelt down with an excited look and said, "it's my honor for Xue to be in Yecheng. I am willing to serve for the general. "

"Good!"

Yuan Shao's face is full of smiles.

After a pause, Yuan Shao continued: "this time you surrender to your official position. You have not made any contribution. It is not convenient for you to be an official. After Zhang Xiu is destroyed, I recommend you to be the magistrate of Yecheng county. "

"Thank you

Xue Tao was very happy.

He said directly: "although Zhang Yang asked the Lord for help, he still wanted to stay in Hanoi. He suggested that the Lord send a large army to huaixian county first, and then invite Xue Tao to discuss affairs in the army, so that he could take the opportunity to win publicity. In this way, it is very easy for the Lord to master Hanoi. "He liked Yuan Shao's smile.

Originally, Tian Feng's plan was like this. With Xue Tao's cooperation, it was impossible to reveal any flaws.

After praising Xue Tao, Yuan Shao said, "Xue Tao, I will mobilize the army immediately. This time, you return to Hanoi with the general's army. "

"I'll do it

Xue Tao answered immediately.

Yuan Shao looked around and said, "ladies and gentlemen, who should be the general to attack Zhang Xiu?"

Tian Feng suggested: "Lord, I suggest Zhang jaw be the general in my humble position. Zhang Zhimou is outstanding in martial arts. He's the best fit to play. But the relationship between Yan Liang and Wen Chou is harmonious. If Yan Liang is captured alive, general Wen will be angry and go to war. Therefore, it is suggested that Zhang's jaw should be taken as the main body, and Wen Chou as the secondary body. In addition, a military division should be sent to wipe out Zhang Xiu. "

Yuan Shao said: "ladies and gentlemen, who is willing to fight?"

Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others didn't speak. They didn't want to go out.

Seeing that there was no one, Tian Feng immediately arched his hand and said, "Lord, I'm willing to go to my humble post!"

"Well, it's Yuan Hao."

Yuan Shao did not say much, but decided to go by Tian Feng.

As soon as the words changed, Yuan Shao continued: "the last attack on Hongnong county was assisted by Sui Gu, so Yan Liang didn't bring many troops. In this battle with Zhang Xiu, he would have sent 30000 elite soldiers to Zhang Xia. There are 30000 elite troops, plus the troops publicized by Hanoi Prefecture, the total number is enough to exceed 50000, enough to crush Zhang Xiu. "

Tian Feng said, "my Lord is wise!"

Yuan Shao said, "let's get busy."

Tian Feng and Xue Tao left first and went to the barracks.

As Xue Tao walked along, he said: "commander Tian, when we fight Zhang Xiu, Sui Gu, Yan Liang and Xu you are in Zhang Xiu's hands. Once the two armies meet each other, Zhang Xiu will use them to threaten us. How can we face them?"

Xue Tao raised his doubts.

It's something he can't solve.

On the way here, he was already thinking about it, thinking about it, and also found it difficult.

Tian Feng's eyes were sharp and he said, "how can you be influenced by Yan Liang and others when it comes to the great cause of the Lord. If Zhang Xiu really threatens these people, she can only ignore their lives. This is a helpless move, but there is no choice, only a strong man

Xue Tao nodded and said nothing more.
