Chapter 263: Not enough to be afraid of
"I have never had any suggestions, and even Cao Cao wanted to give the land to others. Because Xu Gongming only wrote in the letter that Cao Cao ordered his generals to attack separately, while Cao Cao himself guarded the prefectures and counties to prevent us from interfering."
Pei Qing shook his head after saying that, but he didn't expect that things would have developed to this point.
However, Zhang Chao smiled faintly and said, "Hey, this is not the style of General Xu at all. If it was his usual habit, he would definitely analyze Cao Cao's intention to do this and the precautions we should have. However, there was nothing in this letter, so I dare to predict that although the person who wrote this letter was General Xu on the surface, it should actually be written by others."
Pei Qing immediately understood what he said and snorted softly: "This old fox always doesn't want to stand out, but this also means that he has made plans. I don't know what his plans are? Please guess together."
"Haha, let me guess first," Lou Gui spoke first and said lightly: "Since he did not suggest stop Cao Cao from sending troops, nor did he take corresponding actions, it proves that he did not intend to do so."
"Well, what else?" Pei Qing nodded, but of course he wouldn't be satisfied with this, so he continued to ask.
Xun You also smiled and said, "The meaning of not planning to do this is to let Cao Cao do this. Although this result looks scary, it is actually not terrible."
Pei Qing looked at Xun You thoughtfully, then asked, "Oh? Can Gongda say something, why isn't it scary?"
Xun You were not polite and said to Pei Qing: "Although Yuan Shao is strong, there are many problems. Although Gongsun Zan was defeated, the threat is still there. Now Yuan Shao and Liu Yu can still restrain Gongsun Zan. However, once Yuan Shao leaves, it is probably difficult for Liu Yu to resist Gongsun Zan's attack. In addition, the Black Mountain Army has not been completely pacified. The Black Mountain Army leader Zhang Yan is also in an alliance with Gongsun Zan. In this case, if Yuan Shao dares to leave Jizhou, he may be in danger when he comes back. So there is no need to worry at all, at least he will not pose a threat to us in the short term."
Pei Qing nodded when he heard this. Although Pei Qing was a little nervous when he thought about Cao Cao joining Yuan Shao, slowly, he also thought of what Xun You thought about.
However, Pei Qing wanted more than that, so he asked Hu Zhao and Zhang Chao: "I wonder what Mr. Kong Ming and Zi think about this?"
Hu Zhao looked at Zhang Chao and said first: "Yuan Shao is not afraid of internal and external troubles. The most important point is that Yuan Shao has a flawed personality, indecisive and slow reaction. Although he has wise and brave generals under his command, it is difficult to achieve success."
Zhang Chao nodded and said, "That's right. If Yuan Shao didn't want Hanoi, he would have a clear choice. If he really accepted it, he would be dragged down by this matter sooner or later. Moreover, Cao Cao's rear is unstable now, and Lu Bu is eyeing him. He will not be able to send troops to deal with us in a short time. By the time he solves the problems, we already have enough strength to deal with him."
Pei Qing nodded when he heard this and smiled faintly: "The ideas of the dukes coincide with me. Yuan Shao, Jizhou, regarded himself as the three dukes of four generations. He relied on his counselors and good generals, and did not respect the king's orders for a long time. I was thinking of having the opportunity to attack him. If he was smart, it would be better not to go to the land of Hanoi, otherwise he would definitely regret it in the future. It would be fine. This time, he occupied the wild king and killed the rebel Yang Feng and Guan Gu. Xu Gongming made great contributions. In addition, the people were brave Changchun, Pan Feng and Mu Shun also made great contributions, and Chang Lin, among which he was the master of the plan, and Chen Yanbi. If it were not for his prestige, things would be difficult to accomplish. For these people who made contributions, we should also reward them according to their merits."
Pei Qing then ordered Chang Chun, Chang Lin, Pan Feng, Mu Shun and Chen Yanbi to go to Chang'an first, and he would reward them with his merits in person.
"What? Are some of these people going to take the elixir again?" After hearing the news, even Xun You and Hu Zhao were a little envious. They had never encountered such an encounter yet.
Pei Qing naturally saw the two of them and smiled faintly: "Kongming, Gongda, you two have been by my side for many years. I have entrusted you with my confidants, so I naturally have absolute trust. However, you two are already wise men of the ages, and it is difficult to go further. It is not that I don't want to give you immortal medicine, but I am afraid that the effect of the spiritual medicine will be limited on you. However, I have other magic medicines here that can improve your military command, internal affairs or talent. However, these aspects can only be improved in one aspect. You can choose one freely, and I will give you magic medicines to help you grow."
"This, is this true?" Xun You and Hu Zhao were surprised when they heard this. They thought for a while and expressed their wishes. Xun You first said: "If the current chaos is chaotic, although the lower officials are wise and apologetic, they only regret that they do not have the ability to command the army and horses and share their worries for the lord. If they have the opportunity to grow into a military commander and help the lord eliminate the stubbornness, then the lower officials' wishes for the whole life will be enough."
Hu Zhao said calmly: "Xiaguan has not liked the excitement in his life and liked the most knowledgeable way. If he can study and teach his disciples like Zhou Dunyi in the future, Xiaguan will be satisfied."
"I feel very relieved to Gongda to share my worries. Kong Ming is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is enthusiastic about teaching. It is also very admirable. Please rest assured. I will satisfy your request as much as possible. Tonight, Kongming will come to my account. When it is ugly, please come to my account."
"Thank you, lord. I am grateful. I am willing to be so heartless and do whatever I want!" Hu Zhao and Xun You were excited after hearing this and saluted respectfully.
At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the tent expressed their congratulations to the two, especially Lou Gui later, who was full of envy. He had long heard that Pei Qing had such a magic pill that could make people quickly break through, so he naturally wanted to experience it, but he knew that he was not qualified enough now, and that if he wanted to obtain such an opportunity, Pei Qing must work harder.
