Chapter 373: Yuan Shao Conspires

Jizhou, Bohai County, Nanpi City.

Yuan Shao was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the governor of Bohai, and it has been more than a year since he took office. Yuan Shao recruited troops in Nanpi City to expand his strength. Although he was only the prefect of two counties, he became a powerful prince in Hebei.

But at the moment Yuan Shao looked at the document in his hand, but he was worried.

"It's so annoying, it costs so much this year, how can it go on like this?"

Yuan Shao's face was full of sadness. In order to attack Dong Zhuo, he raised a full 30,000 troops, and spent a lot of money repairing the armor. The annual military expenditure was an astronomical figure.

Yuan Shao sighed again and again, but he didn't notice anyone walking into the hall.

"Mr. Yuantu?"

Feng Ji waved his hand: "Hush, you go down first, I have something important to discuss with the lord."

The guard nodded: "No."

After the guards left, Feng Ji strolled into the hall and said, "Why is my lord so sad that you sigh here?"

"It turned out to be Yuan Tu. Look, this year's military expenditure is so much, what can we do if this continues?"

Seeing Feng Ji approaching, Yuan Shao immediately sighed, and then handed the document in his hand to Feng Ji.

When Feng Ji finally saw it, he laughed it off: "I still don't know why the lord is sad, it turns out it's just because of this, hahaha."

Yuan Shao looked surprised: "Yuan Tu, do you have a way to reduce expenditure, maybe you want to persuade someone to lay off troops?"

Feng Ji laughed loudly, and said: "My lord has raised an army of 30,000, and his ambition is in the world. How could Ji persuade the lord to cut his troops?"

Yuan Shao sighed: "If you don't lay off troops, how can you afford to raise such a large army?"

Feng Ji smiled slightly: "Someone has a plan, which can make the lord get countless money and food."

Yuan Shao's expression brightened, and he hurriedly said: "What good strategy does Yuan Tu have, don't play tricks on me, tell me quickly."

Feng Ji smiled slightly, twitched his beard under his chin, whetted Yuan Shao's appetite, and then said: "Jizhou has always been rich, with a population of millions. Jie is weak and incompetent, but the hero is talented, why not take it?"

"Jizhou is indeed rich, but although Han Fu is weak, he also has a group of loyal men. Don't be afraid of Jushou who is proficient in military affairs and predicts things like gods. Although Geng Wu and Min Chun are not talented, they are loyal. Jizhou has at least 50,000 troops. , How can I get things done?"

Yuan Shao shook his head. In fact, he has longed for Jizhou, but Jizhou is very powerful, and it is not easy to get it.

Feng Ji smiled: "My lord, don't you know that Han Fu was restrained by Liu Ye, and he sent Pan Feng, the number one general under his command, to lead 30,000 troops to Taihang Eight Paths. Now there are no more than 20,000 troops in the hinterland of Jizhou, and perhaps less than one in Yecheng?" Wan, it's a good time."

Yuan Shao pondered for a while: "If I wait for a big attack, I'm afraid that Han Fu will bring back Pan Feng's 30,000 soldiers and horses. At that time, the two counties will be in a stalemate, and they can't win in a hurry. Can Bohai's food and grass support a big battle?"

Feng Ji showed a strange smile: "During the Warring States period, Bo Zhi led the Han and Wei families to besiege Zhao Xiangzi, and the Han and Wei families temporarily rebelled, and Zhi Bo was defeated."

Yuan Shaoqi asked: "Could it be possible that there are people like Han and Wei in Ye City?"

Feng Ji didn't answer, but turned around and said, "Brother You Ruo, please come in."

A scribe with a broad robe and sleeves and an extraordinary bearing walked into the hall, bowed and said, "Yingchuan Xunchen, I have met Ben Chugong."

Feng Ji introduced: "My lord, Brother You Ruo is Han Fu's adviser, and he knows a lot about Jizhou's internal affairs."

"Hahaha, it turns out to be the Xun family of Yingchuan, a famous family, please sit down quickly."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, he stood up hastily, held Xun Chen's hands, and asked him to sit down very warmly.

As expected of being a descendant of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun Chen said calmly, "Thank you, Lord Benchu."

As soon as he sat down, Yuan Shao said impatiently: "I heard that Mr. Youruo works under the account of the Hanbok, so he should know a lot about the inside and outside of Jizhou. I wonder if it is possible to tell Yuan?"

Xun Chen smiled and said: "Han Fu is weak and has always been indecisive. Don't be fooled by his wisdom. His words are too many to be used. However, the general should not rush into the army, otherwise even if he takes Jizhou by force, he will not be able to stop the people in the world from talking. .”

Yuan Shao nodded with a serious expression. If possible, he did not want to forcibly seize Jizhou, making himself look like Dong Zhuo.

Feng Ji smiled and said, "You can't seize Jizhou by force, so Mr. Youruo wants Han Wenjie to sacrifice Jizhou himself?"

Xun Chen laughed: "Mr. Yuan Tu is worthy of being Ben Chugong's right-hand man. He is really witty and hits the nail on the head."

After finishing speaking, Xun Chen bowed his hands to Yuan Shao and said, "Mr. Benchu, if you want to stop the world from talking, you must let Han Fu take the initiative to surrender Jizhou to Mr. Benchu."

Yuan Shao wondered: "Although Han Fu is an old official of my Yuan family's disciples, he wouldn't give it up, would he?"

"Exactly, although a certain is by Han Fu's side, it is also an internal cause. To completely convince Han Fu, there must be an external force to invade Jizhou, which greatly increases the pressure on Han Fu. He has to invite Ben Chugong to come. At that time, a certain Persuaded by others, Han Fu will definitely ask Lord Benchu ​​to lead volunteers to help Yecheng."

Xun Chen said confidently: "When the army of Lord Benchu ​​arrives in Yecheng, even if he wants to refuse Han Wenjie, the civil and military forces of Jizhou must obey Lord Benchu, and enter Yecheng and control Jizhou with the reputation of four generations and three princes. It is also the blessing of millions of people in Jizhou."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly when he heard the words: "If someone really wins Jizhou, he must use Youruo again and dare not forget each other."

Feng Ji said casually: "Brother Youruo, this strategy is not bad, but where is your so-called external cause?"

Xun Chen smiled: "The Black Mountain Bandit."

"Zhang Yan's eyes are always high above the top, and he refuses to accept anyone. Will he listen to our orders?" Yuan Shao looked distressed.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang Yan sent Sun Qing to attack Hedong, but Liu Ye's fellow has already rushed south. With Liu Ye's ability to use troops, Sun Qing may at most escape with his own body.

Sun Qing has always been Zhang Yan's right-hand man, once Sun Qing died, Zhang Yan's control over the black mountain bandits was greatly reduced, Yu Du, Yang Feng and others were dissatisfied with Zhang Yan, the general can send someone to persuade Yu Du, Yang Feng, He secretly supported them as the masters of the black mountain bandits, and asked them to send troops to attack Yecheng.

When the black mountain bandits attack Yecheng, and the 30,000 elite Jizhou army is out, Han Fu must be in a panic. At that time, a certain person will ask Lord Benchu ​​to send troops to rescue, isn't it all right? "

Xun Chen smiled.

Yuan Shao nodded solemnly, and then said to Feng Ji: "Yuantu, I trust you the most. I will leave it to you to persuade Yu Du and Yang Feng when I am going to Montenegro. I will order Qu Yi to take the dead men with me. Protect."

"Willing to serve the Lord!"
