When Zhang Xiu and his party returned to Chang'an, it was autumn.

In September of early autumn, the wind is cool and refreshing. When she withdrew along the way, Zhang Xiu paid close attention to the news of Yuan Shao in the state of Jin. According to the news sent back by the royal guards, the people in the state of Jin were already boiling with resentment, and countless people were still making trouble. She hoped that Yuan Shao could cash in.

From the beginning to the end, Yuan Shao did not deal with the people.

People, he has been slaughtered, has carried the butcher's name. Under this premise, if he gives money to the people again, he will not only bear the blame, but also do good deeds, which is a typical thankless.

Yuan Shao was not willing to do such a thing.

Zhang Xiu didn't take care of Yuan Shao's news. He went back to the palace of King Qin in Chang'an City and read the latest government affairs first. Today, government affairs in general are handled by six departments. Zhang Xiu dealt with all the things, and nothing happened.

Then he took a two-day rest at home to adjust his condition.

On this day, Zhang Xiu specially called Liu ba.

When Liu Ba saw Zhang Xiu, he saluted and said, "I'm a humble Liu ba. I'd like to meet your highness."

Zhang xiudao said: "don't be polite. You have read the war report about the state of Jin and have a general understanding of the means to deal with the big Jin bank. Now, what I mean is that you are still the president of Daqin bank, and Lin Yong is the acting president, who is fully responsible for the affairs of Daqin bank. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "let him adapt for three months first. If everything is OK after three months, Lin Yong will be formally appointed as the president of Daqin bank. You can take charge of the bank as a whole."

"Here it is

Liu Ba responded directly.

Now he is in charge of the account department. He is very busy every day. There are numerous meetings. On such a premise, it would be wonderful for Liu Ba to have someone to share the government affairs for him.

Zhang Xiu said, "go ahead!"

"Here it is

Liu Ba got up and stepped down.

After Zhang Xiu stopped for a while, she called for a servant and said, "come, call Sima Yi, Zhang song, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Li Ru, Pang Tong and Tian Feng to see you."

These people are Zhang Xiu's main team.

Today, the talent structure of the state of Qin has not lost to any of the princes, and even the lineup of Zhang Xiu is stronger than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The valet went to give orders, and soon everyone entered.

After saluting one by one, they took their seats.

Zhang Xiu looked around the crowd and said, "I'll call you up today, not for anything else, but for the next thing. After nearly a year's rest, we can expect that Daqin will be full of vitality. After a little rest, we have to send troops to the East. Therefore, it's time to agree on the plan of sending troops in advance. "

When they heard the words, they all looked solemn.

This is the most important point. The next discussion will determine the direction of the world.

Whether the great Qin Dynasty can unify the world and successfully end this troubled time all depends on the war. Because if this war is won successfully, it will be successful in sweeping the world. If the East is blocked, the follow-up will be more difficult.

For a moment, no one had spoken.

All thinking.

After all, it's pretty critical.

At this time, Zhang song took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, I suggest attacking Yuan Shao. After Dajin bank, Yuan Shao's strength has been weakened to the extreme. "

"Today, Yuan Shao is willing to do his best to support the people."

"In terms of financial resources, after the loss of Dajin bank, Yuan Shao's savings in Jizhou for many years were all consumed, and there was no longer enough money to support the war."

"In terms of military strength, Yuan Shao's military is now in a state of panic, and the military is thinking of change."

Zhang Song thought that his proposal was very organized, and solemnly said: "so he proposed to take a humble position, and then he attacked Yuan Shao to destroy the state of Jin. As long as the state of Jin is destroyed, we can occupy the north, and it is easy to wipe out the states of Wei and Wu.

Zhang Xiu nodded, but did not comment.

The most obvious truth is that at present, it is the simplest to directly attack Yuan Shao.

After all, Yuan Shao was weak.

Jia Xu was not impatient and said: "Your Highness, I hold the opposite opinion. I think it's not appropriate to attack Yuan Shao at this time. What we will do next is to attack Cao Cao. When Cao Cao is eliminated, the world will be settled after the first World War. "

"I don't think it's right to be humble," Zhang said

Jia Xu asked: "Oh, Zhang ziqiao thinks that my suggestion is inappropriate."

The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth rose, looking forward to it.

I don't know why!

The reason involved is that only after a debate can the most appropriate plan be discussed.

This is also the purpose of Zhang Xiu to call the people together.

Zhang Song said: "Your Highness, I think it's twice the result with twice the effort to attack Cao Cao. The reason is very simple. Today's Cao Cao has recovered his strength after a rest. "

"Not only that, but also Liu Bei was in Wei. Liu Bei is the Duke of Chu. He and Cao Cao will never sit back and ignore him. Once his highness attacks Cao Cao, he will attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time. He will face the army of Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time. Even if Yuan Shao is weak, he will rush to help Cao Cao. ""At that time, your highness will have to face the Allied forces of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei. It's not cost-effective."

"At the beginning, he fought Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Nanyang County. On the one hand, his highness won by flying ball, on the other hand, he also had his Highness's plan."

"But now, Cao Cao has been on guard, and it's quite difficult for him to win by surprise."

Zhang Song said: "so the humble proposal is not suitable for attacking Cao Cao. Now the state of Jin is unstable, so we can only attack Yuan Shao first. Only by working hard to break Yuan Shao can we win the world. "

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu didn't think there was any accident in this analysis. He asked, "Wenhe, how do you say that?"

Jia Xu said, "it's just a fallacy."

Zhang song does not like Jia Xu's refutation. Even though Jia Xu has a high status, he is not afraid. Therefore, Zhang Song's face was cold, his voice was slightly raised, and he asked, "I'd like to listen to Jia Shangshu's Gao Lun."

Jia Xu gave a little smile and said, "Your Highness, the reason why we want to attack Cao Cao is from two aspects. The first is the advantage of attacking Cao Cao; the second is the disadvantage of attacking Yuan Shao, which is the reason why Zhang ziqiao was refuted in his humble position. "

"First of all, the disadvantage of attacking Yuan Shao!"

"Zhang ziqiao just mentioned that when we attack Cao Cao, Yuan Shaohui will send troops to help us. In the same way, if we attack Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will certainly send troops to help. "

"There is no doubt about that."

"I think all of you here have the ability to infer this result."

Jia Xu continued: "in addition, we have maintained a cooperative relationship with Gongsun Zan before. But everyone knows that once Yuan Shao is destroyed and Gongsun Zan lives in Youzhou, will his highness let Gongsun Zan take over? "

"Obviously not!"

"The cognition of any monarch is on the side of his bed, and he will not allow others to snore."

"That's common sense!"

"I believe that if we attack Yuan Shao, or even destroy Yuan Shao, instead of Yuan Shao attacking us, Gongsun Zan will not attack Yuan Shao, or even fight against Yuan Shaohua."

"It is well known that Yuan Shao is weak."

"But even though Yuan Shao's strength is very weak, his thin camel is bigger than his horse. No matter how weak he is, he still has some strength. Especially when we entered Jizhou, it was a local operation. "

"This is good for Yuan Shao."

Jia Xu said with great eloquence: "I think that under such a premise, it seems to be attacking Yuan Shao, but it is equal to facing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan at the same time. It is extremely difficult to destroy Yuan Shao."

A word, clearly into the public's ears.

Everyone is thinking.

When Zhang Song heard Jia Xu's words, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Jia Xu with dignified eyes. He had said a lot about Yuan Shao himself, but he ignored the overall situation.

Jia Xu's comments and analysis directly from the general direction make it difficult for Zhang song to refute.
