Chapter 604

"There is a plan." Guo Tu suddenly said.

Yuan Shao gasped for breath and said slowly, "what's your plan? Tell me."

Guo Tu's face showed a smile: "in addition to juxu and gongsundu, the Lord can also instruct tens of thousands of troops. As long as these tens of thousands of troops come, it's natural to force Liu Ye away."

Where did you get tens of thousands of troops? Hearing Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shao suddenly came to be interested: "the public is not to betray the truth, in the end, where tens of thousands of troops came from, quickly say it."

"Ha ha..." Guo Tu said with a smile: "not long ago, the Lord once asked for Shan Yu's gold seal for ruidun, Su Puyan, Wuyan, etc? They have always been grateful to the Lord, and now it is time for them to repay him. "

"The Lord can give the Yuyang county and Shanggu County in the border area to the Wuhuan people to herd horses in exchange for sending troops to the south to help our army." Guo Tu said: "they can use Liu Yuqing to control the imperial court and send troops to the king in the name of the emperor. Wu Huan of the three counties can ride and shoot armour in the world, which is not inferior to Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness. With their help, it is not easy to drive Liu Ye away."

"Well..." Yuan Shao, with a thoughtful look on his face, stroked his chin beard, obviously thinking about the pros and cons.

"No!" The first one of the judges jumped out and objected: "the barbarians are not trustworthy. The weak are dependent on China, and the strong are ambitious. They try to join the invaders. Did you forget that the Xiongnu surrounded the Gaozu and got Baideng?"

"The Wuhuan people are ambitious, which is not enough to believe. If they are allowed to take over Jizhou, they are afraid that their lives will be ruined and the people will be filled with complaints. It is absolutely forbidden to let them enter Jizhou." Xunzi was equally solemn.

Not to mention the barbarians, even the National Army sometimes can not help beating rabbits and killing good people. These Wuhuan people were even more ferocious. They burned, killed and plundered many times in the border areas, killing people and robbing food. Jizhou is rich, these Wuhuan people into Jizhou, but not wantonly plunder?

He was a native of Jizhou. Naturally, he did not want to see his hometown slaughtered by the Wuhuan people. Xunzi also lived in Jizhou for many years, so he didn't want to see Jizhou full of life.

"But if you don't invite the Wuhuan people, how can you and Zhengnan defeat Liu Ye's Liangzhou army?" Guo Tu said coldly: "I know that Mr. youruo and Mr. Zhengnan love feathers. The reason why I didn't mention it was that he was worried about the burning, killing, looting and robbing of Wuhuan people, which would affect his reputation, but my Duke Guo was not afraid of it!"

"Wuhuan people are hard to avoid burning, killing, looting and robbing. It is well known to all that I, Guo Tu, don't know?" Guo Tu bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and said, "master, the heart of Wuhuan people is well known, but those who have achieved great things do not stick to small details. Several previous emperors also shot down Yueqi camp in Luoyang. All the knights in the camp were Hu people. It can be seen that the Hu people can not be used by the Lord. "

"For the sake of great cause, we must make some sacrifices. After defeating Liu Ye, the Lord can exempt some people in Jizhou from taxes." Guo TU was right and said: "I think the people will understand the Lord's heart of diligent king."

"Well, it makes sense."

In fact, Yuan Shao agreed with Guo Tu's suggestion very much. The reason why he didn't affirm it was because he was worried about reputation. However, Guo TU was so frank in taking the blame, which made him feel relieved.

"The Duke is indeed a loyal man." Yuan Shao sighed: "you are right. In the future, you will exempt half of the taxes of Jizhou people."

When Guo Tu heard this, he understood that Yuan Shao was ready to adopt his own suggestion. He bowed his head and said happily, "the Lord is kind, and he is willing to work hard for the Lord."

Yuan Shaoyue is more agreeable to Guo Tu, but his loyalty to himself is rare. It seems that he must put Guo Tu in the first place.

Since Yuan Shao decided to make a decision, there is no way to change it. As a result, the people of Jizhou will suffer!

However, since the Lord has decided, it is hard to say anything about the trial and match, so he has to bow his head.

"Good!" Yuan Shao looked around and said in a loud voice, "in this case, the two prefectures of Shanggu and Yuyang will be handed over to tuodun and others, and they will be sent to the south."

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't need to pay any price for ceding. Shanggu and Yuyang counties were occupied by Wuhuan people a long time ago. As early as before, the brothers Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju occupied Yuyang County as emperor and colluded with Wuhuan people. Later, they were defeated by Gongsun Zan.

After Gongsun Zan's downfall, Yuan Shao sent Yuan Xi, his second son, to govern Youzhou, but in fact, only Zhuojun in the south of Youzhou and four counties in the north of Youzhou were under his jurisdiction. Shanggu and Yuyang had long been the territory of Wuhuan people, but there was no express provision.

Sending out two counties that are not in control is equivalent to trapping white wolves with empty hands. Such a good business will naturally be done. However, the barbaric Wuhuan people will inevitably have to burn, kill, rob and rob along the way. Yuan Shao can only turn a blind eye.

"Who will share my worries with Wu Huan when he discusses the issue of sending troops?" Yuan Shao looked around and said slowly.

Many counsellors on the left and right were embarrassed. Even Guo TU was not eager to speak. After all, the Wuhuan people were barbarians. If it was not necessary, who would like to deal with them?

Yuan shaomei's head sank: "are you not willing to share my worries with me?"After that, Yuan Shao's eyes turned to Guo Tu: since the suggestion was put forward by you, no one is willing to go, so go ahead. Isn't Guo Tu willing to be punished for me?

Seeing Yuan Shao's line of sight, Guo Tu didn't know what he meant. He bit his teeth and was about to step forward, but someone took the lead.

"If the Lord does not give up, you would like to go to Wuhuan instead of the Lord!"

When they looked closely, they saw that the speaker was not someone else, but Xu you. The left and right counsellors were surprised. Xu you had always been a mercenary. How could he be willing to go on with such thankless things as sending an envoy to Wuhuan?

Seeing Xu you out of the line, Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Ziyuan is worthy of being a loyal minister of yuan family. In this case, Ziyuan sets out on the day and goes to the Dayton account as soon as possible. Understand?"

"No Xu you arched his hand and said, "you must live up to the trust of the Lord. Please rest assured."

When Xu you saw Guo Tu's suggestion just now, he understood that Guo Gong was really smart. The more critical the moment was, the more dirty water he had to throw on himself for the Lord's sake, so that he could be used by the Lord.

So when he heard who was willing to send an envoy to Wuhuan, Xu you agreed without thinking. As long as you succeed in inviting Wu Huan's troops to the south, and then you will be promoted to the rank. How about gold and silver reward?

"In addition, he ordered juxu to withdraw slowly, withdraw from Bingzhou as soon as possible, and blockade Huguan." Yuan Shao ordered again.
