Jizhou, Yecheng, and the former governor's mansion have now become Yuan Shao's office. Since defeating Gongsun Zan last year, although Tian Kai and Zhang Yang and other warlords holding military power still regard Gongsun Zan as their lords, and even openly become enemies with themselves, the overall situation in Jizhou has been decided, and the rest is to slowly digest and find an opportunity to deal with Gongsun Zan, so that he can own the four northern states and admire the world.

If we include the Yanzhou and Yuzhou part controlled by Cao Cao, nearly half of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty would fall into his control. Recently, Lu Bu, who was brave in the world, came to surrender, which made Yuan Shao feel like he was like a tiger.

On this day, Yuan Shao was discussing his follow-up plans with several of his advisers. Jizhou had all fallen into control. Gongsun Zan had just suffered a setback. The battle of the White Horse Yicongjieqiao, which was shocking outside the Great Wall, was almost completely destroyed. It is no longer enough evidence. Yuan Shao was thinking about the next policy and where should he develop.

"The lord has now achieved great momentum. It is time to split up the Kang and attack Xu, take Qingxu, and then join forces with Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shu, and then return to the army to wipe out Gongsun Zan. Then most of the thirteen states in the world belong to the lord, and the great cause can be accomplished." Guo Tu commented on the current situation with a smile, and his appearance of holding a wise bead is very frightening.

"Um~" Yuan Shao twisted his beard with a look of intent flashed in his eyes. Yuan Shu has always suppressed him because of his legitimate son, and almost all the resources of the Yuan family fell on Yuan Shu. The two largest counties in the world, one in Nanyang and the other in Runan, were inherited by Yuan Shu.

Don’t look at Yuan Shao’s power now. In fact, at the beginning, Yuan Shao had only one Bohai County. If Han Fu had not been weak and allowed him to easily defeat Jizhou and defeat Gongsun Zan, how could he have such power at this moment? But in this way, the result of his efforts over the years was only barely equal to Yuan Shu, Nanyang, Runan, one thirty-seven counties, and one thirty-six counties, such as Xiliang and Jiaozhou, the two states combined cannot compare with one county, and the population makes even Yuan Shao jealous of now. Even compared with the territory of Jizhou, in terms of population resources, it is only barely equal to Yuan Shu. Of course, if all the four states in the north can control the hands of the four states in the north, the situation would be different.

Whenever Yuan Shao thought of this, he felt an unspeakable injustice. Although there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate sisters, the gap was too big.

"Lord, I think that Jizhou is now in a state of destruction, Gongsun Zan is still dominant in Beiping. Liu Yu is probably not his opponent. Qingzhou and Bingzhou still have Tian Kai. Zhang Yang's people resisted stubbornly, and there are black bandits who cause chaos. The so-called "to fight against foreign countries must first settle the internal situation. The most urgent task is not to expand outward, but to consolidate itself. When the internal situation is pacified, it is the day when the troops are heading." Xu You shook his head and looked at Guo Tu disdainfully. Although they are both scholars from Yingchuan, in Xu You's view, Guo Tu is clearly a false reputation and only knows how to flatter.

"What Ziyuan said is not without reason." Although Yuan Shao had already begun to expand after defeating Gongsun Zan, his mind was still clear. He calmed down when he heard this and nodded silently.

"Have you ever noticed Cao Cao?" Tian Feng, who had never spoken on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Meng De?" Yuan Shao's expression suddenly became less good-looking when he heard this.

Although Cao Cao is still dependent on Yuan Shao at present, from a few months ago, Cao Cao directly crossed Yuan Shao and took the Yanzhou governor to the court. Although there was nothing on the surface, Yuan Shao had already planted a knot in his heart. Although this matter was originally something that Yuan Shao had rejected Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked the court for the Yanzhou governor to the court, but Cao Cao did this, but Yuan Shao had nothing to do with it, and his relationship with Cao Cao began to no longer be as close as before.

"What's wrong with him?" Yuan Shao groaned and said a little displeased.

"My lord must not underestimate this person." Tian Feng bowed and said, "This person looks like a hero. In the past, when he was not strong enough, he was still respectful to his lord. But now, he first surrendered 300,000 Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and then obtained the position of Yanzhou Mausoleum from Liu Dai. At that time, the lord refused his request from the Yanzhou Mausoleum because he was worried that Cao Cao would become a big shot, but Cao Cao openly asked the rioters in the court to get the position of Yanzhou Mausoleum. No matter what the reason is, Cao Mengde now has the qualification to be equal to his lord, so he must be careful!"

"Follow him?" Yuan Shao snorted a nasal voice in his nose and sneered: "Yuan Hao respects him too much." Although he was a former friend, Yuan Shao has always been stronger. At this moment, he felt a little unhappy when he heard Tian Feng praise Cao Cao.

Tian Feng frowned slightly when he heard this. He felt that if he looked down on this person, he might suffer a loss in the future. He wanted to mention it again, but was interrupted by Feng Ji who rushed in.

"Lord, new news has come from Chang'an." Feng Ji hurried in and delivered a list of articles to Yuan Shao: "This is the notice that the Chang'an envoy just posted in the city. I took the initiative and tore it off."

Although the princes were separatist, the court sent to post quotations in various counties, and the princes could not stop them at will. In that case, they would openly oppose the court. Although the Han imperial power was lost and the separatist trend was established, the royal family was still there. In order to issue the quotations, they refuted the court's face. Not only was it a bit unreasonable, but it was also easy to lose the population in terms of justice.

"oh?"

Yuan Shao took the list and frowned and said, "I heard that Li Jue and Guo Si have been killed by His Majesty. His Majesty has now re-in charge of the government affairs, but I don't know what he wants to do this time?"

If you want to take back your rights, that would be too naive.

Yuan Shao sneered in his heart and thought to himself, but he was thinking in his heart how he would refute the face of the court if this was the case.

His eyes passed by the list of articles, but his brows frowned slightly, and he handed the list of articles to Xu You beside him, saying, "After March, Chang'an will set up a battle to invite all the warriors from all over the world to Chang'an, and select the best? Why did the court issue such a list of articles?"

Yuan Shao didn't believe that Liu Xie was just to fight against the Huns.

"This is not difficult to understand." Xu You smiled and said, "Although the emperor first took over the power of the military power in Guanzhong, the military power in Guanzhong was still in the hands of the warlords of Xiliang. In order to break the control of the warlords of Xiliang over the military power, Your Majesty summoned the powerful generals from all over the world to the court. On the one hand, it can consolidate the imperial power, and on the other hand, it can also ask for excessive dependence on the Xiliang army. Behind this emperor, there must be someone who can give him advice."

After all, Liu Xieru is less than 11 years old this year, but Xu You doesn't believe that Liu Xie can come up with such a plan.

"It's not just that!" Ju Su, who was standing beside him, frowned and said, "Do you guys think this list of words seems familiar?"

"?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. After reading the list, Tian Feng looked up at everyone and said, "Yan Huiwang's Golden Platform is worshipped by generals?"

"I'm sure this is a different approach!" Ju Su said in a deep voice.

"Then why do you only seek powerful generals but not talents? Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?" Guo Tu said inexplicably. This was what Yuan Shao wanted to ask.
