Ye City, in the imperial city.

During this period, Yuan Shao had a lot of time to play. He began to be diligent in government affairs and deal with all kinds of things. Yuan Shao has been paying close attention to all kinds of news in Yanzhou.

When the news of Cao Cao's defeat came back, Yuan Shaoxian couldn't believe it, because even though Cao Cao was weaker than Zhang Xiu, he couldn't even lose Xu Du's nest, or even Cao Cao didn't have any strength to compete.

It's really shocking.

But that's the truth.

Yuan Shao was also a man of some insight. He knew that if Cao Cao was really destroyed, he would be helpless. So Yuan Shao immediately lined up a single person, and sent people to call Jushi, Shenpei and Guotu.

Yuan Shao looked at Ju's teaching and examination, and said, "you all know about the war in the state of Wei. The latest news is that Cao Cao retreated to Taishan county. What should we do? "

The judge said: "Your Majesty, if Cao Cao is really exterminated by Zhang Xiu, it will be a great threat to us. So I suggest that we send troops into Yanzhou to help Cao Cao resist Zhang Xiu's army."

Yuan Shaochen said: "first, Xi'er is still in Zhang Xiu's hands; second, once we send troops to help Cao Cao, then Zhang Xiu has a reason to attack us. As far as I know, Liu Bei's state of Chu has been destroyed and defeated by Zhang Xiu's army. If I take part in it, I'm afraid our country will be in danger. "

The judge said: "Your Majesty, even if the second prince is still in the hands of Zhang Xiu, you can't fight against Zhang Xiu just because of the second prince. What's more, after Zhang Xiu exterminates Cao Cao, the next one to exterminate is us. "

The current situation is very clear.

This is a matter of life and death.

If they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and if they are also afraid of offending Zhang Xiu, then in the end, they will surely perish.

There is no dispute.

Yuan Shao's eyes turned and fell on Ju Shou, saying, "Ju Qing, what do you think?"

Ju said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the analysis of trial and match. If we don't care about Cao Cao, then in the end, the great Jin State will be a lonely country. The best way to fight against Zhang Xiu's army is to help Cao Cao and not let him fall. Of course, it would be quite difficult for the state of Jin to send troops to support Cao Cao. "

Yuan Shao's eyes brightened when he heard this.

He also thought it was very difficult to send troops, and his words hit Yuan Shao's heart.

Yuan Shao said, "go on!"

Ju continued: "first, the state of Jin has just experienced a turmoil, and its financial resources are limited, so it is difficult to support the recruitment of soldiers into Yanzhou to help Cao Cao. If we do not recruit soldiers to support Cao Cao, but mobilize our original forces to enter Taishan County of Yanzhou, then our own security of the state of Jin will not be guaranteed. "

"Second, it's true that sending troops to support Cao Cao is tantamount to giving Zhang Xiu a reason to be against us."

"Third, the main task of the state of Jin today is to protect itself."

"So the best way for us to support Cao Cao now is to give him food and weapons," he said. Although the country is turbulent and financially difficult, there are countless grains and weapons accumulated over the years in our treasuries. The soldiers were dispatched to send these grains and weapons, and even a number of war horses to Yanzhou. If we help Zhang Xiu in this way, it's already the limit. "

Yuan Shao nodded.

Yuan Shao agreed with Ju's analysis.

Guo Tu didn't speak all the time, but when he saw that Yuan Shao had some ideas, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have different opinions."

He secretly has been submissive to Zhang Xiu.

He didn't want yuan shaochi to help Cao Cao, which made it more difficult for Zhang Xiu to kill Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao said, "say it!"

Guo Tu zhengse said: "the theory that lips are dead and teeth are cold really exists, and it is quite reasonable. But I think there is no impermeable wall in this world. If we send troops to support Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu will catch us with his eloquence. But the same, as long as Zhang Xiu wants to target us, even if we don't send troops, only send people to send out food, it's the same. It doesn't make any difference. "

Yuan Shao stroked his beard under his jaw and said: "what Guo Tu said is really the truth. If Zhang Xiu wants to find fault, let alone deliver grain, I'm afraid that if we say a word, it may become a reason for Zhang Xiu to target us."

After a pause, Yuan Shao said, "Guo Tu, what do you think we should do?"

Guo Tu said: "I think that now we can consider arranging envoys to Chang'an to make an alliance with Zhang Xiu, so that the two sides can resolve their conflicts, become allies and not invade each other. After this treaty was announced to the world, Zhang Xiu could not attack Jin at will. In this way, the security of our country will be guaranteed. As for Cao Cao, although he is defeated for the time being, he is not at the end of his tether. There is no need to support him. "

"Ridiculous!"

With a cold face, Professor Ju scolded: "we make an alliance with Zhang Xiu and place our safety on Zhang Xiu's idea. This is totally inappropriate and even more ridiculous."Guo Tu said: "in that case, please let Mr. Ju lead the army to fight against Zhang Xiu's army. With the fierce use of war, I expect to defeat Zhang Xiu. "

She had a twitch in her cheek.

If Zhang Jinxiu is not the leader, he will be defeated.

Guo Tu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ju, what you're planning is for the state of Jin, and what I'm planning is also for the state of Jin. However, they have different starting points and different considerations. "

"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

Guo Tu bowed himself.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

Ju also turned to face Yuan Shao, waiting for Yuan Shao's verdict. In the current situation, it is useless for him to say more clearly. It depends on Yuan Shao's decision.

The judge agreed: "Your Majesty, I agree with the suggestion of Mr. Ju. We can't trust the security of Jin State on a letter. We have to rely on ourselves."

Yuan Shao's expression changed again and again.

He also fell into a difficult choice, because the public said that the public was reasonable, and the old woman said that the old woman was reasonable. Guo Tu and Ju Shu had their own starting point for the sake of the state of Jin.

Yuan Shao beat the desk in front of him and said after a moment: "the alliance with Zhang Xiu is on hold. At present, we still need to help Cao Cao. "Yes, you will arrange it, and supply food, weapons and horses."

"Here it is

If you bow, you should.

As soon as Yuan Shao waved his hand, everyone stepped down.

After Jushi, Guotu and Shenpei walked out of the hall, Jushi stared at Guotu and said in a deep voice, "Guotu, it's ridiculous to place all your hopes on Zhang Xiu. I didn't expect you to make such a remark. It's really surprising. "

Guo Tu said: "Mr. Ju, you can see the strength of Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao's 80000 troops were in Dongjun, but less than 10000 people fled. Especially when Liu Bei was defeated, Liu Bei fled with Cao Cao, and Zhang Xiu also won in Yingchuan County, both of which had already won Xu Du. Under such a premise, it's not necessarily wise to be the enemy of Zhang Xiu. "

She snorted, brushed her sleeves, turned and left.

The judge also left with him.

Guo Tu didn't explain anything. He went straight back to his house and wrote a letter quickly. Then he sent out the news that Yuan Shao was going to arrange people to deliver grain to Taishan County of Yanzhou.

This is to let Zhang Xiu know, so that Zhang Xiu can make a response.

After all this, Guo Tu relaxed.

As a matter of fact, today's Guo Tu doesn't think it's a bad thing for him to submit to Zhang Xiu. On the contrary, he thinks it's a good thing, because it's only a matter of time before Zhang Xiu conquers Xu Du, defeats Cao Cao and sweeps the whole state of Wei.

Zhang Xiu's capture of the whole world is just around the corner.

Yuan Shao is on the decline.

Under this premise, Guo Tu is willing to work for Zhang Xiu and plan for her everywhere.
