The autumn wind in the north is as strong as white wine, without any trace of warmth, but pouring into the neck and cavity in large quantities.

Indisputably, the cold humidity after melting snow and the imminent autumn wind directly convey the message that winter is coming. The autumn wind is straightforward, frank, and fierce. Perhaps the climate does have a certain impact on people's personalities.

The autumn wind in the north is simply sweet, with no aftertaste, and no mixture of sweetness and deliciousness. It is just blindly sweet, rustling, and rough. The lines of the wind are tough. Like the tall figure of a northern man, and the

Exquisite and delicate.

When the wind blows up, it carries withered leaves and dust on the ground, still wrapping people's clothes tightly.

Yi Ji, who was walking on the northbound road, looked at the weather in the north.

He wore a fox fur cloak and braved the cold wind in the north. Although Yi is from Jingzhou, he has lived in the south for a long time and has never experienced such a refreshing autumn.

He looked back at the soldiers who were protecting him, and then looked at the road ahead. It was so long and he started to feel a little melancholy.

It is really not easy to convince Yuan Shao when I go to Hebei. When I was in Jingzhou, I had always heard that Yuan Shao had many advisers. The civil servants were Tian Feng, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, Jushou and dozens of other advisers.

Military generals are even more superfluous, such as famous Hebei generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Qiong Yuqiong, and Zhang Nan

, Jiao Chu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals with thousands of dollars. In addition, Yuan Shao's three sons Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and foreign relatives Gao Gan each commanded an army of 100,000. Yuan Shao commanded a total of one million troops.

Yuan Shao disdained all the princes in the Central Plains, so he was always unwilling to cooperate with others, so Yi Ji began to consider such things along the way.

In this way, I kept thinking of Yecheng, the capital of Yuan Shao's rule in Hebei.

Yiji looked at the majestic city wall and the big flag with the word "Yuan" flying in the wind. Yiji had to admire Yuan Shao's talent and strategy. If Yuan Shao really didn't have the ability, the kid in Luoyang City wouldn't have fought alone at that time.

After the sword came out,

In just a few years, he was able to seize Bohai County and annex the entire Jizhou. Then he went south to conquer Kongrong and occupied Qingzhou, and defeated the Huns cavalry in Taiyuan to occupy Bingzhou. The most glorious thing was that he was able to defeat Baima Congyi, who dominated the desert for a while.

.

The hero felt infinitely melancholy, but Yiji still walked slowly towards the city gate.

At this time, a man dressed as a civil servant came to greet him at the city gate.

Yi Ji saw that it was Xu You, Yuan Shao's counselor. Before Yi Ji could dismount, Xu You smiled and said, "Jizhou has joined the army to welcome Mr. Xu You."

When Yi Ji saw that Xu You had greeted him with a smile, he immediately jumped off his horse and hurriedly smiled and said: "Xu Canjun, I'm just a commoner, how can you accept such a great gift from sir?"

"Sir, you are a famous scholar in Jingzhou. Everyone in the world knows it. I am here to meet you on behalf of my lord. Please, sir, please."

"Thank you so much, my lord."

"Sir, please go to the inn to rest first. Then tomorrow, my lord will hold a meeting hall in the General's Mansion in Yecheng to welcome you."

Yi Ji went to the inn alone for a day off. At three o'clock in the morning on the second day, Yi Ji walked into the general's mansion under the guidance of Xu You.

When Yi Ji walked on the steps of the General's Mansion, he saw all majestic palaces and all kinds of strange-shaped buildings. There were buildings with the aura of dragons and tigers flying in the sky, and there were leisurely nine dragons playing with pearls...everywhere.

It shows a king's domineering attitude, and is filled with all kinds of atmosphere.

Yi Ji couldn't help but sigh: "What a great general's mansion, it is really full of things."

Xu You smiled apologetically and said: "Mr. Yi Ji, do you think there is a kingly aura in Jizhou? Can you feel the hegemony of a king in Jizhou?"

Yi Ji smiled and said: "Xu Canjun, hegemony lies in the hearts of the people, not the palace. The Xianyang city in the Qin Empire was so magnificent back then, but it was burned to ashes by Xiang Yu's fire. The reputation of the overlord is unknown to everyone in the world.

But in just four years, Overlord

He committed suicide in Wujiang River. It was my Emperor Gaozu who founded the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. However, my Emperor Gaozu gathered the hearts of the people and used their hearts to gather the talents of the world to win the world. Even though Wang Mang came to power, the people of Han Dynasty still won the victory again.

Take over the world."

Xu You smiled and said, originally he was about to argue about something, but suddenly a civil servant came over and shouted: "Two gentlemen, the general is waiting for you inside?"

Xu You could only smile and said, "Sir, please." "Please."

The two parties entered the hall one after the other in a process of courtesy.

Entering the main hall, Yiji suddenly felt a serious and solemn feeling.

Yi Ji could only feel that the light from the armor on the general's body was enough to dazzle his eyes, and the majesty of the civilian officials could make his calm and affectionate person suddenly become nervous and uneasy.

Yi Ji hurriedly adjusted his clothes, then took a deep breath, and walked into the hall leisurely with square steps.

Yi Ji, who walked into the main hall, looked at a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar sitting on a high seat in the center, holding a long sword, with his back to the door, also carrying Yi Ji.

Yi Ji stepped forward and said, "The king of Chu is here to discuss the matter. Yi Ji meets the general."

"General, King of Chu?"

Yuan Shao, who had just turned around slowly, asked with an unpleasant feeling.

Yi Ji replied unhurriedly: "General is the honorific title everyone gives you, and the King of Chu is supported by hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Jingzhou and Xiliang. This title comes naturally."

"What a quibble. I guess you are right. Let me ask you, what is the purpose of your coming here this time."

Yi Ji bowed and said: "I came here this time on the orders of my King of Chu to form an alliance with the general to deal with Cao Cao."

At this time, Yuan Tan stood up first in the main hall and said: "I, Jizhou, have a million soldiers, do I need to cooperate with you to defeat a small Cao Cao? As long as our whole army rushes over, we can crush Cao Cao into powder, and use

I won’t cooperate with you.”

At this time Yan Liang stood up again and said: "Yes, the eldest son is right. We don't need help from outsiders, we can destroy Cao Cao ourselves."

Wen Chou stood up and agreed. The remaining civil servants and judges were also from the main war faction. They stood up and cooperated and refused to cooperate with the King of Chu.

Other civil servants and generals also began to argue with each other. At this time, Yuan Shao clicked and pressed the sword that had been returned to the scabbard on the big case. Everyone in Yuan Shao's affairs should stop talking.

Then, Yuan Shao asked: "Listen to your opinion, sir, how do you plan to share it equally with us?"

"General, my lord, I plan to encircle Xuchang with you. Then we will divide the border from Xuchang City, and the north will be under the general's tent, and the south will be the territory of the King of Chu. General, do you think it's okay?" "Why do you want to negotiate with me?"

What? I have a million soldiers and a mountain of horses, but what do you have? There are only about 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you have just captured Jingzhou, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"General, although our army has a small number of troops, we are all elite. Our army's general, General Lu Bu, captured three passes in a day. Our vanguard general, Zhao Yun, resisted Cao Cao's entire main force of 300,000 people by himself, and he was still able to steadily drag him down.

The first half of the month has fully demonstrated the combat power of our army."

"Since you are so powerful, why are you joining forces with us?"

At this time, Tian Feng stood on the seat and even winked at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao saw that his first counselor actually winked at him and felt that this matter was definitely not a small matter. Then he stood up slowly and said

: "Sir, please wait in the side hall first. We will discuss it with all the civil servants and generals. What do you think?"

"Okay, General, I will be waiting for news from you in the side hall."

After everyone watched Yi Ji slowly exit, Yuan Shao Anran sat down and said, "Let's talk about it, everyone!"

At this time, Shen Pei was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, I still say the same thing. I don't agree with our army cooperating with the King of Chu. The so-called King of Chu is all self-proclaimed, and he doesn't even admire us for cooperating with us. Now Cao Cao

The army is concentrated in Huainan, but we can send a large army thousands of miles to attack Xuchang. Once we capture Xuchang, the Central Plains will be in control."

Xu You stood up and echoed: "Lord Shen, it is indeed a good idea, but I would like to add that after we occupied Xuchang, we once again sent out a large army to wait for the two armies to fight, and we were left with a fisherman's advantage."

Yan Liang was the first to stand up and said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard of the army and is willing to lead his troops thousands of miles to attack Xuchang."

Then Wen Chou, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan, counselors Zhong Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others also stepped forward and chose to rush thousands of miles to attack Xuchang, but they did not agree to join forces with the King of Chu.

At this time, Yuan Shao turned his attention to his first counselor, Tian Feng. He saw that all the counselors and generals were talking about it, but there was only one person who did not speak, that was Tian Feng.

Yuan Shao asked: "Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

Tian Feng straightened his clothes, then stood up and said: "Lord, everyone, we must unite with the King of Chu now. Although Cao Cao's main force of 300,000 has been left in Huainan, and Xuchang City is relatively empty now, we can

Seeing that we have the fastest cavalry to attack Xuchang, it will take about ten days, and we are not Xiongnu cavalry and cannot fight continuously. Cao Jun can return in just three days

, our army will fall into an extremely stalemate battle. The King of Chu's army in the Huainan area will not wait for the pursuit, because they will also have to sit back and watch. The rest is for us and Cao's army to fight. Now once we unite with Chu

King, the King of Chu will be able to attack Cao's army from both sides with us, and jointly form an alliance under the city of Xuchang. Once we occupy the north, we will become the number one prince in the world. Are you still afraid of injustice in the world?"

"Excellent, excellent. You are my first counselor when you look at things from a far-sighted perspective."

As soon as Yuan Shao agreed, some of those arrogant generals and counselors began to react to Yuan Shao's words, and some also began to comply with Tian Feng's ideas. In an instant, the unified opinions of King Chu became the mainstream.
