To be fair.

If it could prevent Gongsun Zan from annexing Jizhou, Lu Zhi would be very willing to contribute.

Although the two have the status of master and apprentice.

But once Jizhou was captured by Gongsun Zan, it would be equivalent to the imperial court losing a state. This was completely different from Han Fu's appointment as the shepherd of Jizhou.

But the problem is.

Lu Zhi felt that Cao Ang's idea was a bit unreliable.

Gongsun Zan's strength is extraordinary.

Now he mobilized his troops and seriously planned to attack Han Fu. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the gap in strength between the two sides.

With Gongsun Bogui's Youzhou cavalry across the northern border, to deal with Han Fu, it's not just to pinch him with both hands, what can Han Wenjie do to resist?

And under this premise and background.

How could Gongsun Zan give up the piece of fat he was about to acquire just because of his few words?

What's more, Gongsun Zan himself has only attended classes for a few days, and is not his direct disciple. It is probably still unknown how much master-disciple relationship there is between the two.

It is true that he is a teacher, but he can only teach people knowledge, not brainwash and indoctrinate, and he cannot forcibly control a person's thoughts and behaviors.

So Lu Zhi felt that it was not reliable.

However, faced with his doubts.

Cao Ang just shook his head slightly, looking as stable as Mount Tai and confident.

"What the public said is based on the premise that General Gongsun can capture Jizhou."

"And if he can't take Jizhou, then what does the fertile land and abundant military supplies have to do with him? It's just making wedding clothes for others!"

As soon as this statement came out.

A thoughtful look suddenly flashed across Lu Zhi's eyes.

The main reason is Cao Ang's last sentence, which has a somewhat clear meaning.

There are only a few forces mixed in in Jizhou. Apart from the few people who are already in the bureau, it is easy to guess who is left.

"Could Zixiu be referring to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu?"

Seeing Lu Zhi react.

Cao Ang immediately nodded happily.

Then he made some gestures on the table.

…

"It is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. He is now the governor of Bohai County and occupies the land of Bohai County. This status is enough for anyone."

"But Yuan Benchu ​​can't do it. With his status as the fourth generation and the third prince, and the noble son of a high family, how can he stay under others for a long time?"

"So Yuan Benchu ​​also had plans for Jizhou. The reason why he didn't take action against Han Fu was because he was worried about Gongsun Bogui."

Speaking of which.

Cao Ang put his hands on the table, one hand was likened to Gongsun Zan, and the other hand was likened to Yuan Shao.

"Now Gongsun Bogui sets out from Youzhou to attack Hanwenjie from afar. No matter how good he is in fighting, he can make his troops look like gods and ghosts."

"Faced with the fatigue of his men and horses during the long journey, and the loss of troops and generals due to Han Fu's desperate resistance, his strength will definitely suffer a certain degree of loss."

"How could Yuan Benzhu, who was just watching from the sidelines, remain indifferent after he was injured?"

"This is called the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman wins!"

The reason why you don't think about some things is often because you have a misunderstanding and need someone to remind you.

Lu Zhi is by no means a dull person.

Therefore, after Cao Ang gave some instructions, he reacted instantly.

With just a brief thought in my mind, I have already deduced the possible results.

He immediately put his hands on his hands and smiled.

"As expected of Cao Zixiu, who is regarded as one of the most outstanding figures in the world, he really has an insight into world affairs and his words are astonishing!"

"It's a good fight between a snipe and a clam, but the fisherman wins!"

…

After laughing loudly for a while.

Lu Zhi gradually calmed down.

He looked at Cao Ang with admiration, and he became more and more satisfied with this young man.

Not only did his position as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty fit with his own, it also gave him the opportunity to serve as the emperor's teacher.

Now he still shows such a long-term vision and insight into the overall situation. He has even heard that Cao Zixiu is not bad at all in terms of military strategy. He is extremely excellent.

He is so well-equipped and has the same stance. No matter how you look at him, you feel that he is somewhat similar to yourself.

After secretly praising it in my heart.

Lu Zhi said to Cao Ang with a smile on his face: "As Zixiu said, if I tell Bogui these words, I believe he will understand the power of it."

"But whether he will stop marching towards Gaoyi County, as you expected, is something I can't decide."

I heard Lu Zhi agreed to this matter.

Cao Ang suddenly felt happy.

He specifically asked Lu Zhi to do this, and there was certainly a reason behind it.

The fundamental purpose of heading north to Jizhou this time is to seize Jizhou's territory and let all forces in Jizhou compete with each other, thereby giving him the opportunity to roam among them.

It’s not like I’m just starting a fight without thinking.

If Gongsun Zan is not held back and is allowed to lead his troops all the way to Changshan Kingdom, then the final results will be nothing more than two.

Either Cao Ang hastily faced Gongsun Zan head-on and fought with him to the death of both sides, and then was happily taken advantage of by Yuan Shao.

Or according to the original historical trend, Han Fu could not withstand the force of Gongsun Zan, and was frightened by Yuan Shao's slight trick, so he gave up Jizhou.

…

The above two results, no matter which one, are things that Cao Ang absolutely cannot tolerate.

That's why Cao Ang came up with such a method.

Expose Yuan Shao's plot to Gongsun Zan in advance, allowing the two families to confront each other in advance.

In this way.

This gave Cao Ang enough time to make preparations and rely on Wei Jun to travel among all parties.

To put it simply, a fight is definitely going to happen, but let Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fight first, while he hides and steals the chicken.

Once those two guys fight.

Cao Ang can freely choose his own position.

Whether it was helping Yuan Shao or beating Gongsun Zan, whose fighting prowess was off the charts.

Or act as a peacemaker and mediate in the middle.

These are all his choices.

Thinking about it this way, isn’t it beautiful?

As for why Lu Zhi had to come forward to write this letter, it was naturally because of the master-disciple relationship between him and Gongsun Zan.

Even though Lu Zhi said it himself.

This master-disciple relationship may not be so profound.

But it is much more effective to speak than a stranger like Cao Ang.

If Cao Ang wrote such a letter and sent it to Gongsun Zan, I'm afraid Gongsun Bogui's temperament would probably not even read it.

Not to mention thinking deeply about the words in the letter and putting them into practice.

…………

Two days flew by.

After Lu Zhi and his party were arranged properly.

Cao Ang immediately mobilized the remaining troops and horses, crossed the Yellow River northward, followed the route taken by Zhang Liao and Cao Chun, and rushed to Yecheng, the governor of Wei County.

And as early as two days before he sent troops.
