In late June, Zhao Yun escorted 3000 war horses, 100000 stone grain, and many armor and weapons back to Xudu, put all the war horses and grain into storage, and then came to the palace to meet Zhang Xiu.
When Zhao Yun saw Zhang Xiu, he held his fist and saluted: "finally, General Zhao Yun, meet your highness."
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "younger martial brother, you did a good job on this trip to Taishan county. Although there were only three thousand white horses, Yuan Shao didn't dare to act rashly because of your high-profile evacuation and secretly letting me take over. This time, it's beautiful. "
Zhao Yun said, "Your Highness, I praise you
Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "go down and have a rest. You've worked hard all the way."
"Here it is
Without much delay, Zhao Yun turned and stepped down.
Zhang Xiu continued to check the news recently sent back. Now the troops under Huang Zhong, Zhang Ya and others have been sweeping all the counties in Yanzhou. The troops have begun to gather in Taishan county to prepare for the attack on Cao Cao.
Zhang Xiu is going to kill Cao Cao in one go.
If Cao Cao is eliminated, Yuan Shao and sun CE will be completely separated. If he wants to destroy sun CE, Yuan Shao can't help sun CE, and if he wants to destroy Yuan Shao, sun CE can't affect the situation in the north.
So killing Cao Cao is the most crucial step.
"Dong! Dong
Knock on the door, from outside the study.
Immediately, Wang Yue entered the study, bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Your Highness, I just received a message about Guo Tu. Now Guo Tu has been exposed and detained by Yuan Shao. "
Zhang Xiu's eyebrows rise, slightly unexpected.
Guo TU was exposed.
At this time, Wang Yue handed a letter about Guo Tu to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu takes it over and carefully reads the news of Miao Yong's return. When he sees that Guo Tu is in the first battle a month later, he also sees Yuan Shao's wantonly propaganda that Guo Tu betrays him and wants to put him to death by dismembering him, his mind turns.
This seems to be aimed at Guo Tu.
In fact, it was aimed at him.
Guo Tu, who has been subordinated to Zhang Xiu, is a person of Zhang Xiu. Under the premise that Guo Tu is subordinate to Zhang Xiu, Guo Tu is now in danger. If Zhang Xiu doesn't care, it will have an impact on the whole Qin official system under Zhang Xiu.
His subordinates are dying, but Zhang Xiu doesn't care. Who is willing to work for Zhang Xiu?
This is a very important issue.
Zhang Xiu immediately ordered: "come, call Sima Yi, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Zhang song to discuss the matter."
These people are now gathered in Xudu.
Zhang Xiu is also around the think tank.
Not long after, the five gathered, bowed to Zhang Xiu, and then took their seats.
Zhang Xiu didn't beat around the bush. She said that Guo TU was arrested and would be dismembered by Yuan Shao a month later. Finally, Zhang Xiu said, "what's your opinion on Guo Tu's murder? What do you think the king should do
Zhang Song solemnly said, "Your Highness, I think it's right to rescue."
Guo TU was subordinate to Zhang Xiu. Although he never worked in Chang'an or came to Zhang Xiu, he was subordinate to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Song himself, and Guo Tu's situation is not far away, there is not much difference, he is also halfway to surrender to Zhang Xiu.
If now, Zhang Xiu does not care about Guo Tu.
When he was young, he could not care about Zhang Song's life or death, because like Guo Tu, he was half obedient.
This is Zhang Song's starting point.
Zhang Song continued: "Your Highness, if you don't care about Guo Tu's life or death, it will certainly affect the cohesion of the whole Daqin officials and make many officials feel cold. So I think that no matter what, we must rescue Guo Tu. The Royal Highness's royal guards in Yecheng are numerous and powerful. So I suggest that the royal guards of Yecheng be mobilized to rescue Guo Tu. "
Zhang Xiu nodded, but did not make a comment, but looked at the rest.
He wants to hear from the rest.
This time, Sima Yi agreed with Zhang Song's arrangement and said, "Your Highness, I also agree with Zhang Song's analysis. Under the current premise, Guo Tu must be rescued. "
"As long as Guo Tu arrived safely in the territory of Daqin, countless scholars in the world would take Daqin as their goal. In particular, the officials of Daqin will take pride in being officials of Daqin. "
"Because no matter where they are, no matter how dangerous and difficult they are, their highness will support them and help them."
"So I think that under the current situation, we must dispatch the royal guards to rescue Guo Tu."
Sima Yi said: "before, the royal guards had taken Tian Feng's and Zhang Ya's family members away. Even if it would be more difficult this time, even Yuan Shao had already set up a net to wait, but no matter what, they had to be rescued."
When Zhang Song heard this, he began to laugh.
Rare!
This time, Sima Yi did not accept him, and he reached the same opinion.Pang Tong also said: "Your Highness, I also agree with the rescue. However, the way of rescue is still open to discussion. Because Yuan Shao clearly said that the execution of Guo Tu a month later must have laid a net. So, we have to think about the way of rescue
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, but still did not make a statement.
Because these plans are not comprehensive enough.
Most people can think of what Sima Yi or Zhang Song mentioned. Such a simple plan is not difficult. As long as people have a little wisdom and foresight, they will make judgments.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, I also agree with the rescue, because if you don't save Guo Tu this time, it means your highness abandons his officials and the people who serve you. Therefore, it is necessary to rescue. However, there are different opinions on the way to rescue Guo Tu. "
Zhang xiudao: "what's Wenhe's opinion?"
Zhang Song's brow rose when he heard it.
There was a sigh in his heart.
Because he followed Zhang Xiu for a period of time, and roughly understood Zhang Xiu's temperament. If the scheme and point of view described can not meet the requirements of Zhang Xiu, or Zhang Xiu is not very satisfied, then Zhang Xiu will not express her opinions, just nodding.
Only when Zhang Xiu has some praise, Zhang Xiu will ask questions.
This is the key.
But when he put forward his suggestion, Zhang Xiu just nodded. Now as soon as Jia Xu spoke, Zhang Xiu became interested and asked actively, obviously expecting Jia Xu's plan.
Jia Xu's deep eyes twinkled with wisdom and said: "I think it's not suitable to mobilize the royal guards to rescue Guo Tu this time. There are two main reasons."
"First, Yuan Shao said plainly that Guo Tu would be executed a month later."
"Obviously, it's an ambush."
"Yuan Shao must have arranged countless dangerous situations and even countless means around Guo Tu, just waiting for the royal guards to fall into the trap and people to die. Under this premise, to let the royal guards go is to let the royal guards die. "
"Royal guards, no influence."
"Even if your Highness has arranged the rescue of the royal guards, who would believe it? Unless it's a rescue, it's a compliment. But in case of failure, it means that your Highness has not arranged for people to go to the rescue. "
Jia Xu said: "so when Guo Tu is in danger, even if he has to be rescued, he will go to the rescue with integrity, not by secret means. To do so, whether successful or unsuccessful, is to tell the world that your highness values every official of the Qin Dynasty. Whether in or out of the territory of the state of Qin, they are the people his highness relies on. Only in this way can people in the world be convinced. "
Zhang xiuhan said: "what Wenhe said is true."
For Zhang Xiu, we must take this opportunity to stabilize the people. If the people's heart is broken, the state of Qin will not be strong for long, even if it is strong for the time being. If the people of the state of Qin are united, even if the state of Qin is at a disadvantage in a short period of time, it can be reversed. This is the reason why people and land exist.
