After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Niu Fu was the happiest. He received news that the envoys between the Huns and Yuan Shao were frequent, and it seemed that they were conducting some transactions. He was worried that Yuan Shao would be unfavorable to Bingzhou, so he rushed to Hedong to discuss with Jia Xu. Most of the Bingzhou had been occupied by the Huns, and the Huns' cavalry often appeared in Hedong. He, as the governor of Bingzhou, was very uncomfortable. If the Huns colluded with Yuan Shao again, his troubles would come.

Niu Fu wanted to take the initiative to attack and take advantage of the spring of the horses and launch an attack, severely attacking the Huns. Compared with the Huns, the Xiliang army had a certain advantage. The only trouble was that if they wanted to maintain horsepower, they had to feed the war horses with food. Bingzhou lacked enough food. He came to Hedong to ask Jia Xu to support him and prepare some weapons for him.

There are salt and iron in Hedong, and the population is large. Although it is a county, its strength is even stronger than that of Bingzhou.

Jia Xu agreed to Niu Fu's plan, but he did not recommend attacking now. Yuan Shao contacted the Huns, so he naturally wanted to recruit the Huns to help, maybe to deal with Gongsun Zan or Sun Ce. No matter who he wanted to deal with, after a large number of young and strong elite soldiers left Bingzhou, the rest were old and weak, and Niu Fu could win anyway. At that time, the Huns would not have thought of this, and Yuan Shao would not have thought of this, so before that, Yuan Shao would definitely send someone to show goodwill. At this time, Niu Fu could offer the price. The more he wanted, the more he would have, the more relieved Yuan Shao would have.

Of course, it is best to attack Sun Ce. Sun Ce lacks horses. Once Yuan Shao goes south, Sun Ce will be under great pressure and will definitely send someone to ask for help, such as buying a war horse, and you can order something at that time.

Niu Fu smiled and was overjoyed. Dong Yue was also very happy. Yuan Shao showed goodwill, and most of the benefits were Niu Fu's. Sun Ce showed goodwill, and the benefits were his. Who made him closer to Nanyang?

Jia Xu reminded Dong Yue to prepare some war horses, even if they spend a high price to buy from Longxi. Sun Ce lacks horses, and once they start a war with Yuan Shao, he will buy even more than the higher the price, and he can afford it. After Yuan Shao and Sun Ce started the war, the Grand Marshal Zhu Yan is likely to attack, and he also needs war horses. Even if Dong Yue prepares three or five thousand war horses, there is no need for war horses. If he has no money, he can discuss with the Longxi family. The price can be higher and let them first make some credit. You can also contact Han Sui and Ma Teng. Han Sui and Ma Teng must also do this business. Don’t compete with each other and let Sun Ce take advantage of it in vain.

Dong Yue wrote down one by one, feeling happy, waiting to receive Sun Ce's benefits. There are too many good things in Nanyang, so he has to think about what he wants.

——

Yecheng, the governor's office.

Yuan Shao sat in the middle, Ju Su and Tian Feng sat on the side, Guo Tu and Xin Ping sat on the side, Xun Zhan, Feng Ji, Xu You and others were also here, but they just listened and didn't speak much, and they seemed to be out of the matter. There were still many people in the hall, but they basically had no chance to express their opinions.

Today's protagonists are Ju Su and Guo Tu, and most of the others are spectators.

Yuan Shao had not made up his mind to go to war for a long time, and Ju Su couldn't sit still. He advised Yuan Shao again. When he learned that it was Guo Tu's objection, he asked to debate with Guo Tu, so this scene happened. This situation was rare. Everyone had identities and would not turn against each other in person even if they had different opinions. They just did their best to make suggestions in private, hoping that Yuan Shao could adopt his own opinions. It was extremely rare to argue in public.

The focus of the debate is Qingzhou.

Ju Su believed that Gongsun Zan is now guarding Yishui, and the area is swamped and cannot be marching. After passing Yishui, it is an open area suitable for cavalry conflict. At this time, it is easier to attack Gongsun Zan than to take Qingzhou. Youzhou is insufficient taxes and has always relied on Jizhou and Qingzhou to supplement it. Now Jizhou has been controlled by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan can only rely on Qingzhou. Defeating Tian Kai and controlling Qingzhou in his hands is equivalent to cutting off Gongsun Zan's supplies. In less than two years, Gongsun Zan will be weak.

Guo Tu believes that it is easy to attack Qingzhou, and Tian Kai is definitely not Yuan Shao's opponent. But Qingzhou is so important, how could Gongsun Zan sit and watch Tian Kai lose? He will definitely take the initiative to attack and support Tian Kai. Therefore, Guo Tu's suggestion is that Yuan Shao stays in Jizhou and sends generals to attack Qingzhou. Even if the war is delayed, it will not affect the stability of Jizhou. Moreover, only Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, so Gongsun Zan dare not act rashly. When he said this, Guo Tu stopped for a moment.

"Don't think that Gongsun Zan is vulnerable because of the setbacks of Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan has been fighting for many years and is brave and good at fighting. He is called the White Horse General by the Wuhuan people. He is as afraid of it as a tiger. So far, the only one who can threaten Gongsun Zan is that he dare not act rashly. Tian Kai is a mediocre person, and many people can defeat him, but who dares to face Gongsun Zan? Qingzhou can attack, but letting the lord personally lead the troops to attack is foolish. Those who are the main players should be polite and mobilize many troops for a few days. Are you not afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Ju Su disagreed and refuted it flatly. "Warriors are the major affairs of the country, how can they be ignored? Although Tian Kai is a mediocre person, Qingzhou is vast and there are Yellow Turbans to rebel. If a large army is under the throne, he cannot defeat his full achievements without a large army. Besides, Tao Qian is on the side. He has a strong state, has been in office for a long time, has worked with Sun Jian, and has colluded with Sun Ce last spring, resulting in Liu Bei's defeat. If only the generals from the front and lead more than 10,000 troops, can Tao Qian be defeated? If Sun Jian and Tao Qian join forces with each other and attack from the east and west, what will happen? Those who take Qingzhou will not only cut off Gongsun Zan's food and tax, but also shocked the Sun family and his son, so they cannot concentrate on going south. Besides the lord, who can be Tao Qian and Sun Jian and shock Yu Yang with one blow?"

Guo Tu sneered: "Tao Qian is indeed stronger than Tian Kai, and the Sun family and his son are not ordinary people, but are they stronger than Gongsun Zan? Moreover, Youzhou is close and Yuzhou is far away, so how can you ignore the evil wolf and tend to be a tiger thousands of miles away? Although Tu is stupid, he dare not agree with it, and he does not think that if you use your wise wisdom, you will have such a strange plan. Maybe your lord has an unfinished intention, so it is not convenient to sue others?"

Ju Su was furious. "Mr. Guo, you and I argue in front of the lord for justice. Ju said everything and said everything. How could he have an unfinished meaning? If you have high opinions, you might as well say bluntly, why bother with some minor meaning and slander Ju?"

Guo Tugong bowed and looked apologized. "Mr. and I have a serious opinion. I just feel that Mr. and I have not considered this plan very thoroughly. It is just because of the secret that it is inconvenient to speak in front of everyone. How dare I slander it? You and I work together and serve the lord. We should work together and treat each other honestly, and there is no need to have such doubts. If my words are inappropriate and cause misunderstandings, please forgive me."

Ju Su sneered and was about to retort, Yuan Shao coughed: "Your and Youth, what you said makes sense. But you have forgotten one thing. Whether I attacked myself or sent someone to attack, it is not the best time."

"Master..."

Yuan Shao stood up and signaled Ju Su not to worry. He smiled and was calm. "Young and I have never set foot in Henan. I don't know that the climate is very different from the river. The turn of spring and summer is the rainy season, which is conducive to boating but not to ride a horse. At this time, it is not a good time to attack Qingzhou."

Guo Tu slapped his forehead and was very upset. "What the lord said is very much. I am from Hebei, and I don't know that this is understandable. But I am from Yingchuan, and I actually forgot about this. It is really not good for the lord to remind me that it hits the point."

Ju Su opened his mouth, and finally smiled bitterly and kept silent.
