When Ailang heard that the two of them had different opinions, he couldn't help but become interested and said, "I'll guess," the two of them looked at Ailang with a smile.

Ailang looked at Jia Xu and Chen Gong, and said, "Wenhe obviously disagrees with the expansion of the army when he said just now, so the public station must be in favor of the expansion of the army!"

Jia Xu and Chen Gong couldn't help laughing, and Chen Gong smiled and said, "The General was wrong!"

Ai Lang was stunned, then couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, Yes, Wenhe's personality has always been very radical. The public service is more cautious. It should be that Wenhe supports the expansion of the army, while the public service opposes the expansion of the army."

Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise, that's exactly what it is!"

Chen Gong glanced at Jia Xu and smiled and said, "Wenhe is the most cunning. He actually told me the reason for my objection first! But I don't think Wenhe's idea is wrong. It's just that if the radical approach cannot succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable! At that time, even if there is no enemy to attack, we are afraid that we will not be able to maintain it ourselves!" Jia Xu smiled and said, "I also think the public security concerns make sense, but they are a little conservative and have to wait for the opportunity to come. They are a little passive, but I am afraid that in the end they will miss the opportunity to grow and grow!" Chen Gong smiled and said, "Neither of me can convince each other, so I have to ask the general to decide!" Zhao Yun looked around and felt that the relaxed atmosphere under the general was something he had never seen, giving him a very novel and friendly feeling.

Ailang lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Thinking of the old saying "There are bold people who are starving to death, and the timid people who are starving to death", he couldn't help but make up his mind and said, "There is no risk to do big things! Now every family around him is stronger than us. If we don't take a risk, we will have to become someone else's fresh meat and say how to dominate the world! I decided to expand the army to 200,000! I'm almost ready, so I'll do Yuan Shu's stupid egg who daydreams all day!"

Seeing that Ailang had made up his mind, Chen Gong and Jia Xu clasped their fists to agree.

Chen Gong and Jia Xu came out of the governor's mansion. Chen Gong said to Jia Xu with admiration: "You should know the general! I lost this bet, I will treat you tonight!" Jia Xu laughed and clasped his fists and said: "That's thankful to Brother Gongtai!"

After Yuan Shu was extremely angry after he was defeated by the army, he was ready to use troops against Lu Bu again. This time, he planned to do his best, worried that the 200,000 troops in his hands were not enough, and that his subordinates forced the people of Huainan to join the army. In just one month, Yuan Shu's army had rapidly expanded to nearly 500,000, and its momentum was amazing. However, Yuan Shu's expansion of the army regardless of consequences caused all industries in Huainan to wither, and even many farmlands were deserted and no one was farmed.

Yuan Shu felt that he had prepared almost the same and was preparing to enter Xuzhou again. At this time, General Yang proposed a plan: "Lord, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are supporting each other. Although our army is extremely powerful now, it is probably not easy to annex Xuzhou in one fell swoop. Why not provoke Lu Bu and Liu Bei first, let them fight first, and then we can reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Yuan Shu felt that what General Yang said made sense and asked, "How to provoke them?"

General Yang laughed and said, "Lu Bu is a villain who values ​​profit and forgets righteousness. It is better to give him food and pay and ask him to attack Liu Bei. He said that the lord had a grudge with Liu Bei, so he would have had an incident of attacking Xiao Pei before. Now that Xuzhou is already under the command of the general, it is difficult to send troops to attack Liu Bei again. If the general is in charge, he will ask the general to fight against Liu Bei. After the matter is completed, there will be a heavy thanks. Lu Bu will inevitably fall into a trap. When the two families fight, the lord will lead a large army to attack Xuzhou with a slump and sea force. The two families will be awarded the head, and Xuzhou will be in the lord's hand. This is called 'The fisherman will benefit from the lord'!"

Yuan Shu laughed and praised repeatedly: "A clever plan! A clever plan!" Then he said with some concern: "If Lu Bu received my food and pay but did not attack Liu Bei, wouldn't I have lost so much food and pay in vain?"

General Yang smiled and said, "Lord, what is worth a little food and salary compared to Xuzhou? Take a step back and say that even if Lu Bu gets food and salary, he will not attack Liu Bei, but as the saying goes, "It is a short manpower. Since he has collected our food and salary, it will be difficult for him to help Liu Bei. Our army can easily take Xiao Pei. Eliminate Liu Bei and deal with Lu Bu, it will be much easier!"

Yuan Shu laughed and nodded, "Okay! That's it!"

Ailang was drinking and chatting with the visiting Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son in the hall. Chen Gui and Chen Deng kept flattering Ailang and only described Ailang as a hero who had never come before. Compared with him, the King of Western Chu was three points less powerful and wise. Compared with him, Emperor Gaozu of Han was inferior to Wu Yong, and made Ailang so arrogant that he laughed from time to time. He was so happy that he felt that he was the best hero in the world. He didn't take Yuan Shao and Cao Cao seriously!

A personal soldier rushed in and reported: "General, Yuan Shu's envoy is here, and I'm asking for the general."

When Ailang was proud, he heard that he was Yuan Shu's messenger, so he didn't care at all and said, "Take him in."

The personal soldiers responded and ran down, and after a moment, they led a person who looked like a civil servant in his thirties.

As soon as the man saw Ailang, he immediately saluted: "Go to the General!"

Ailang asked with a smile: "What did Yuan Shu send you to do?"

The man hurriedly said, "The villain is here to pay homage to the general by my lord. My lord has a grudge with Liu Bei. The reason why he attacked Xiao Pei a few days ago was for this. But he didn't want to offend the general's Hu Wei. The lord asked the villain to apologize on his behalf." Ai Lang felt very proud and smiled, "That thing has passed, and Yuan Shu doesn't have to take it to heart."

The man said, "But the hatred with Liu Bei cannot be exposed. However, Liu Bei was protected by the general, and my lord felt deeply embarrassed. Therefore, my lord ordered the villain to come and give him a generous gift to the general." After that, he took out a booklet made of two thin wood pieces from his sleeve, held it up with both hands, walked forward to present it to Ailang.

When Ailang heard that there were generous gifts, he couldn't help but be curious. He took the booklet and expanded it. He saw that the booklet was a list of many gifts. In addition to gifts such as brocade and jade, the most eye-catching gift was the gift of 50,000 yuan.

Ailang was surprised and asked, "What exactly do Yuan Shu wants to do when he sent such a heavy gift?"

The man smiled and clasped his fists and said, "My lord wants to seek revenge on Liu Bei, but he cannot offend the general. Therefore, he gave these many gifts and asked the general to capture Liu Bei. After the matter is completed, my lord will definitely thank you very much!"

Ailang's current strength is different now. He has long been unable to stand the fact that there is Liu Bei within his sphere of influence. He has been thinking about how to get rid of Liu Bei these days. Now Yuan Shu has sent him such a generous gift to get rid of Liu Bei. It is just right that he can't help but feel moved.
