Yuan Shaodao: "Liu Bei just sent me a letter telling me that Xu Ding left Donglai and came to Jizhou with three thousand riders, and went to Wuji County to kill his third brother Zhang Baiqi."

Hey!

There was a hint of joy on everyone's face.

Well done!

Zhang Baiqi's reputation is not very good, the leader of the bandits in Taihang Mountain.

Looting Jizhou was extremely harmful, and now that he is dead, it saves one thing.

In this way, Liu Bei's strength was also compromised, and it would be easier to drive out of Jizhou in the future.

Of course, after the gloat was over, everyone also had a question, what did Xu Ding do in Zhongshan?

At this time, the three families are divided, what is the purpose of Xu Ding stepping in?

So everyone looked at Yuan Shao, they knew that Yuan Shao would definitely say something next.

Yuan Shaodao: "Xu Ding has taken a fancy to Wuji Zhen's family, and now he is escorting Zhen's family to Donglai with his troops, and his team has a lot of money and food."

Xu You said: "My lord wants to intercept the Zhen family!"

The Zhen family is the largest merchant family in Jizhou, with countless money and food, a huge property, and a valuation of about one billion.

Xu You and Yuan Shao had been following him very early on.

It's just that they were not easy to start with before.

Now that Jizhou is nominally theirs, how can they let such a large piece of fat slip away.

Besides, Xu Ding, his sworn enemy, wanted to eat this piece of fat.

Yuan Shao was even more unwilling.

Yuan Shao didn't deny it, but he didn't nod either.

At this time Guo Tu said: "My lord, we have newly acquired Jizhou, and the generals of Jizhou are not stable, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei have not yet repelled, so it is really inappropriate to send troops to fight Xu Ding at this time."

On the surface, Qu Yi respected Yuan Shao as the shepherd of Jizhou, but this guy still controls Changshan Kingdom and Zhao County, which is like a separatist regime.

The other former Jizhou generals only joined in name, and they have not yet reached the state of working hard for Yuan Shao.

Therefore, although Yuan Shao has won Jizhou, he has countless money and grass, and there are many soldiers and horses in name, but there are not many who can actually command the battle.

Moreover, most of these soldiers and horses were still confronting Gongsun Zan on the front line, and were furthest away from Gongsun Zan.

It would be unwise to provoke Xu Ding at this time.

"Gongze's words are wrong. We don't want to fight too much with Xu Ding, but to attack and prevent him from bringing a large amount of money and food back to Donglai." Xu You stood up and continued:

"My lord, it's extremely easy to retreat from Gongsun Zan. Not only can we make Gongsun Zan retreat automatically, but we can also let him attack Xu Ding with us!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "What good idea does Ziyuan have?"

Xu You said: "My lord, now that Gongsun Zan's military power is winning, why not be arrogant and indulge him? I promised the three families that the conditions for the division of Hebei will remain the same, and then I will give half of Bohai County to him in exchange, and invite him to intercept Xu Ding and divide Zhen together." Home!"

"Xu Ziyuan, what do you mean? Which side are you on? Could it be that you are a traitor sent by Gongsun Zan?" Guo Tu bombarded.

Xu You not only encouraged Yuan Shao to continue to provoke Xu Ding, but also gave Yuan Shao Bohai County.

You must know that Bohai County is a large county with a population of more than 100 million, making it the most populous county in Jizhou.

It is Yuan Shao's foundation, and now Xu You actually wants to give it to Gongsun Zan.

This is something he absolutely cannot bear.

Even Yuan Shao's face was half darkened.

Xu You laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, sir, just listen to my analysis slowly."

"You'd better be able to justify yourself, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" Guo Tu snorted.

Xu bowed to Yuan Shao, and then said to the crowd: "We have agreed with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei earlier, Zhongshan Kingdom will be for Liu Bei; Hejian, Anping, and Julu will be for Gongsun Zan; Qinghe County, Wei County, Zhao County, and Changshan Kingdom will be for Gongsun Zan. us."

Having said that, Xu You paused for a moment, and everyone nodded. This is true.

Xu You continued: "Here comes the problem. Although we have obtained Jizhou in this way, everyone, look at the map. The land we control happens to be on both sides of an arrow. Does it look very empty? The arrow shaft in the middle is in Gongsun Zan's hand. If one day he wants to attack us, he can directly attack Yecheng and annihilate us in one fell swoop, or he can attack Qinghe and cut off the connection with Bohai, so is Bohai County still ours?

Even if the population of the Bohai Sea is large and rich, is it still ours? "

I have to say that Xu You sees this very viciously.

Everyone hadn't thought about this question yet, so they raised it at this time.

This is really the key to a fatal move.

Although this time they took the biggest advantage, got the most land and population, and righteousness.

But in fact Gongsun Zan is the bowstring and arrow that can be triggered at any moment.

Bohai County is close to Youzhou, and is half surrounded by Gongsun Zan. This is the meat under the pillow, and you can have a bite whenever you wake up.

"So we exchanged it for Julu County to strengthen our depth. I think Gongsun Zan will agree to exchange the big for the small." Xu You said confidently.

This time everyone was silent.

What Xu You said makes sense.

"My lord, this matter is feasible. The exchange of Bohai County for Julu County can not only strengthen the depth, but we are not at a disadvantage. Look at the map, two-thirds of Anping's territory is sandwiched by Julu County and Qinghe County, so the surface of Anping It belongs to Gongsun Zan, but actually it belongs to us." As Han Fu's good subordinate, Xin Ping, who was newly elected, has more say in the affairs of Jizhou, and at the same time needs to express himself.

So he was the first to stand up and agree with what Xu You said.

When he said this, Yuan Shao's face turned from black to red, and his eyes also became hot.

It looks like it is a loss, but it is actually a profit.

The Bohai Sea also has a shortcoming, being close to the sea, Yuan Shao is most worried about Xu Ding's retaliation by sea.

Therefore, although Bohai Sea is rich and it is his first base, it does not have such a big attachment.

Sui said: "Okay! According to what Ziyuan said, Bohai will be exchanged for Julu, and at the same time contact Gongsun Zan, let him retreat, intercept Xu Ding together, and divide Zhen's family equally."

Chapter 273 Gongsun Zan's Grand Banquet

Xu Ding took the Zhen family to fight back home, but the speed was not fast enough.

The Zhen family has too much money and food.
