Qianzhao made up the calculation. This account was not his own credit, but Ju Su and Guo Tu jointly planned that this was their second time since Yuan Shao entered Jizhou. The last time was the Battle of Jieqiao, of course, there were also experiences from Qianzhao himself. He met Taishi Ci at Bailang Mountain, and not only saw Taishi Ci's ability, but also saw the hidden dangers hidden in Taishi Ci's grand plan.

Taishici wanted to promote the transformation of Hu Ce and educate the Hu people in Youzhou, which contained too much risks.

For hundreds of years, the policies to deal with the Hu people are nothing more than expedition and expedition. Whether it is expedition or expedition, one thing remains unchanged, that is, the defense of China and the aliens, China is China, and the aliens are clearly divided. Different water and soil and customs are different, so they can only adapt to local conditions and not force them. The Wuhuan has not changed much for hundreds of years, so how can it be naturalized in a short period of time?

More importantly, to transform the Hu means to deprive the tribes of control over the tribes. Which tribe is willing to do this? This is real strength and the foundation for their survival. How can we give up people? It is conceivable that they will definitely resist, either raise an army or place a price, and offer a price that Sun Ce cannot afford. With the greed and cunning of the Hu people, they are more likely to have both, first knocking out Sun Ce for a sum of money, then provoking trouble, turning against others, and calling on the tribes to rebel.

In fact, Guo Tu has made arrangements, and such a thing will almost certainly happen.

At that time, what can Taishici do? Only war. Taishici is indeed very good at fighting, but the four battles he defeated the Xianbei people were all head-on battles, which were lightning-rushing. The Xianbei people had no time to react and had no time to escape. If they arrived on the grassland and both sides chased and fought, it was a question whether he could find those Hu people, let alone defeat the enemy.

When the war comes, it will be a bottomless pit. I don’t know how much food will be consumed. Once Sun Ce’s supply is not enough, Taishi Ci will either return in a great defeat or die in the grassland. At that time, Sun Ce will either go on the battle personally or give up Youzhou. If it is the former, it will not be able to solve the problem of catching fighter jets on the grassland. His result may not be better than Taishi Ci. Winning and defeat depend on luck.

And a person's luck will always be exhausted.

After talking about Youzhou, Qianzhao revealed another news: After Guo Tu returned, he took over the Xizuoying again. News came from Jiaozhou that Liu Yao and the senior officials were defeated and left Yuzhang, retreated to Jiaozhou and joined forces with the Jiaozhou gentry to kill Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou. They are fighting Sun Jian, and good news will soon be heard. What is the good news? Because of the confidentiality issue, it is still unknown.

Once Jiaozhou changes, Sun Ce will fight from Jiaozhou to Youzhou. If Cao āo from Yizhou, Yuan Tan from Jizhou, and the imperial court in Guanzhong, he will face five opponents at the same time, with a front line of four or five thousand miles and a force that needs to be used for more than 100,000.

No matter how rich the Central Plains are, can they withstand such consumption?

Liu Bei listened very seriously and excitedly, but he had not lost his mind yet. He was not a trick. He had seen Sun Ce's strength, especially the military strategy around him. Those are all outstanding people with outstanding strategies, and there are several people who can compete with Ju Su and Guo Tu. Of course, they can think of Ju Su and Guo Tu.

The wine and food were delivered, and Liu Bei picked up the wine glass, signaled Qianzhao, and drank it all. He wiped his mouth. "Zi Jing, even so, Sun Ce will give up Jiaozhou and hold on to Youzhou tightly. The war horse is too important to him, and he will never give up easily."

"You are right." Qian Zhao drank a glass of wine and nodded in agreement with Liu Bei's suggestion. "But if Sun Jian is trapped and in danger, will he have to save him?"

Liu Bei didn't say anything. He didn't know how authentic this news was. Yuan Tan was not a good thing. What if it was made up by him? Now he formed an alliance with Yuan Tan and blocked Taishi Ci for Yuan Tan, which would be beneficial to Yuan Tan, but not good to him. If Sun Ce knew about it, he would not give him another piece of arms or grain, and this revenge would be settled. There were many household registrations in Jizhou, and Yuan Tan could still hold on for a while, but he couldn't hold on for long.

Qianzhan made Liu Bei think about it for a while, and finally put forward Yuan Tan's conditions: to divide Zhuo County with the giant horse water as the boundary. After the alliance, Yuan Tan also needed war horses and could provide some food and materials through trade. At the same time, Yuan Tan would also assist Liu Bei to control Dai County and Shanggu, so that he could control the western part of Youzhou and have enough strength to compete with Taishici. The Wuhuan tribes of Shanggu and Dai County were all close to the Yuan family, and Zhang Ze could not help but dissatisfied. When necessary, Yuan Tan would send troops to assist Liu Bei in the battle, and the generals would be Qianzhan.

Liu Bei was moved. He was exhausted by the war and really didn't want to fight anymore. Just give it to Yuan Tan to the south of the Giant Horse Water. If you can get Shanggu and Daijun, it will be enough to make up for the loss.

Liu Bei basically accepted the conditions and only proposed a little modification: Fanyang is bounded by the Giant Horse Water in the east, and Fanyang is bounded by the Yi Water in the west, Fanyang, and Beixincheng can be given to Yuan Tan, but Guohe Gu'an cannot be achieved. Moreover, in order to reflect his sincerity, the person stationed in Fanyang, the Beixincheng cannot be Zhang. Zhang has been in Zhuo County for so long and is too familiar with the terrain, so he is worried.

"Zi Jing, if you are stationed in Fanyang, I will agree to this plan."

Qian Zhao shook his head with a smile. He knew it was impossible. He and Liu Bei were too close. Even if Yuan Tan believed him for a while, he would not always believe him.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of domineering aura. "How about this, Zijing, come and help me, don't serve Yuan Tan. I know you are not satisfied there." He raised his hand and waved it hard. "If you refuse, I won't talk. If I form an alliance with Taishici, Yuan Tan may not wait for a turnaround. He cut off the two counties of Zhuo County. This is a real benefit, but what he gave me is empty words. No one can tell whether it can be fulfilled. I suffered such a big loss, and it is not an exaggeration to ask him alone."

He stared at Qianzhao. "Unless you refuse to come. Zijing, you and I know your friends, and you don't need to hide it. Just say, are you willing to come and help me?"

Qian Zhao couldn't laugh and cry, but his heart was warm. "Xuande, this is a business, and we can't be confused..."

Liu Bei sneered, without any doubt. "Zi Jing, I have also served under the Yuan father and son. I have a deep understanding of how their aristocratic families view people like you and me. Do you think it is because of your husband's affairs? I tell you that even if there is no such thing, you will not have a place to use your skills. Look at Xun Yan and look at you, don't you understand? Xun Yan's younger brother Xun Chen is working for Sun Ce."

Qianzhao was speechless. Liu Bei's words came to his heart. No matter how polite Yuan Tan was, his background was destined to take a family as the foundation. Zhang, Gao Lan and others were also powerful people in Jizhou, and their background was far from comparable to him, let alone a family like Xun Yan. Now Yuan Tan wants to form an alliance with Liu Bei and use him to make him an envoy, but it is extremely difficult for Yuan Tan to truly reuse him.
