So Gongsun Zan lost [-]% of the battle.
Of course, if Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were willing to support Gongsun Zan behind their backs, the outcome of this battle would be [-]-[-]. It's hard to say how far it will go.
Yuan Shao said with a smile, "If that's the case, where does Youzhou go? Where does Jizhou go? Where does Qinghe go? I'm afraid that your old leisurely life will be disturbed by then. This Marquis of Weihai is not very willing to let people enjoy peace and prosperity day."
Xu Ding's governance strategy, but most of the interests of the aristocratic family will be sacrificed. Whether it is a legal acquisition or illegal suppression, a large part of the aristocratic family's land will inevitably be taken away.
How can a family with the old concept of guarding the land as its foundation make a choice?
So Yuan Shao was telling the Cui family that it was time for Qinghe to think about it.
Once Xu Ding launched an attack on Gongsun Zan, Qinghe would probably bear the brunt of it, next to Pingyuan County, it would be hard to escape bad luck.
The Patriarch of the Cui family pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is there any good way for Shi Jun to resolve these predicaments?"
"There is no good way, but there is a stupid way." Yuan Shao paused, and then said:
"Fight to the end, don't give up, don't give in, unite all forces that can be united, and fight to the end."
After being silent for a while, the Patriarch of the Cui family raised his head and said, "Is this really possible? Don't be bloody, and die in the end!"
"No, can everyone be willing? If there is a chance to escape, everyone will not choose to die. Marquis Weihai is not just against Jizhou and Youzhou, but against the whole world. If he can win for a while, can he win? I have won one life." Yuan Shao continued:
"Although we lost this time, we can't give up. Emperor Taizu Gao fought with Chu Xiangyu for four years and lost countless times. But with everyone's support, we stood up again and again and finally won the victory. We also told the aristocratic family , their support is correct and useful.
Although Xiang Yu was strong, he didn't have the support of everyone in the world. Didn't he also end up kissing himself in Wujiang in the end? "
"But Marquis Weihai is not Xiang Yu!" The Patriarch of the Cui family still said with deep concerns.
Yuan Shaodao: "We are not Taizu Emperor Gao, are we?"
The Patriarch of the Cui family was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then raised his glass and said: "The words of the envoy are really heart-to-heart words, okay, we are willing to assist the envoy, unite all the forces that can be united, and do it for everyone's tomorrow !"
The old man became even more ferocious when he became prosperous.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and toasted together.
It was a very harmonious and rewarding banquet.
After the banquet was over, Yuan Shao took everyone out of the city, and the camp was stationed outside the city, and they did not leave in a hurry.
After Yuan Shao and others left, the head of the Cui family called a young Cui family member to the study.
Then he asked: "Deru, did you hear what was said at the banquet?"
The young man replied: "Patriarch, the Yuan family is not stable in Jizhou, there are not many soldiers and horses, and they have been defeated by Weihaihou many times. Why should we agree to support him? Our Cui family's attitude has not been decided long ago, and no one can do it." Don't help, just sit and watch the world go by?"
The man's name was Cui Lin, and he had a cousin named Cui Yan. Cui Yan worshiped Zheng Xuan as his teacher, and studied art in Donglai.
So he felt that it was unnecessary for the Patriarch to ask him to connect with Yuan Shao.
Since you are optimistic about Xu Ding, then just invest in him.
The Patriarch of the Cui family sighed leisurely: "Eggs cannot be put in one basket. This is the general rule of our big families. Now that the world is in trouble, it is time for a difficult decision. Your brother Yan'er is with Marquis of Weihai, or After worshiping Zheng Xuan as his teacher, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a scholar.
Since our Cui family has two dragons, we naturally need to share a place to lie down.
After Yuan Shao is the fourth generation and the third prince, if anyone in this world can really compete with Marquis Weihai for the world, it must be him. "
Cui Lindao: "Patriarch, but I think besides Yuan Shao, there is another person who is also a hero, and he should have a place in the world of the day."
The head of the Cui family asked: "Who do you like?"
Cui Lindao: "Leaving aside Marquis Weihai, the second person should be Cao Cao!"
The Patriarch of the Cui family was stunned, he thought Cui Lin would choose Yuan Shu.
Unexpectedly, he was optimistic about Cao Cao, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Lin'er, Cao Cao is indeed good, but after he becomes an eunuch, how can he rule the world, besides, Yanzhou is the place where the four wars are fought, it is not easy to defend, and it is not easy to expand.
Didn't you hear what Xu Ziyuan said when he mocked Cao Cao?
He said that Cao Cao was so ambitious that he missed the investigation and was attacked by Xu Ding's cavalry. The eastern counties may also be taken by Xu Ding. Cao Cao's strength will inevitably be damaged, and it will be difficult to protect himself. "
Cui Lin was dumbfounded. In fact, he felt that Cao Cao's victory in the world was also a feeling. Reason told him that what the Patriarch of the Cui family said was reasonable might be right.
Not to mention that Cao Cao may lose half of Yanzhou now, even if he didn't, he would also face an embarrassing situation, with Er Yuan in the north and south, and Xu Ding in the east.
Cao Cao couldn't expand around at all.
As for Xiangxi, he is crazy to think that he can fight for Chang'an with his own strength.
"Lin'er, the most important thing now is that Yuan Shao's [-] troops are outside the city! Our Cui family has no choice." The head of the Cui family said helplessly.
If Yuan Shao hadn't come in person, and had raised [-] troops and stationed them outside the city, the devil would be willing to bet in advance.
Historically, the Cui family did not bet even after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou. It was not until Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao that he voted for Cao Cao and was promoted, which played a decisive role in the later growth of the Cui family. Only then did the Sui and Tang Dynasties come into being. The most famous Qinghe Cui family at that time.
How dare he deal with Yuan Shao now, so he had no choice but to send Cui Lin to join Yuan's Group, and at the same time, he had to contribute to Qinghe County to defect to Yuan Shao.
Of course, Yuan Shao's words also reached his heart.
Are you willing?
Of course not reconciled, which family doesn't want to develop, why should Xu Ding suppress it and give up the interests in his hands.
The world belongs to the family, not to each family.
The world is what we say.
When Yuan Shao left Dongwuyang, he took Cui Lin away and got Cui's support, which eased his bad mood.
It feels like sending troops this time has finally made up for something, and it's not all bad news.
Of course he didn't know that when he was wooing the Cui family, a war broke out in Yijing, Shangdang County, far away in Bingzhou.
The news of Lu Bu's attack on Yanzhou quickly spread from Hanoi to Bingzhou. Li Su, who was paying close attention to the situation of the Central Route Army, received it immediately and sent troops to attack Shangdang.
Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, Cao Cao's backyard was on fire, and the Central Route Army was bound to fail in attacking Qingzhou, leading to the breakdown of the alliance.
If the attack on Xu fails, plan B must be implemented and Shangdang County must be swallowed.
Therefore, Li Su, who had secretly gathered his soldiers and horses, immediately set out and went south.
This time he went south, he quietly mobilized Liu He and other ministries in the north.
As Liu Yu's son, Liu He originally defected to Liu Bei and counted on him to help him avenge him.
But Liu Bei helped Gongsun Zan fight Xu Ding instead, which made Liu He and his subordinates Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others very dissatisfied.
