Yuan Shao didn't move, his face turned blue and white, as if he was slapped loudly.

Guo Tu stood quietly by, lowered his head, said nothing, and accompanied Yuan Shao. He had been with Yuan Shao for more than ten years and knew Yuan Shao's mood at this moment. As the leader of the alliance who once commanded the world, he was only one step away from winning the title. In just a few years, he was repeatedly cut by the Sun's father and son. Now only Jizhou is left. No one will feel good if he is replaced.

For Yuan Shao, the five states are in hand and Jizhou is definitely not the same thing as Jizhou. In fact, the biggest difference is the relationship between the host and the guest. With the five states in hand, Jizhou is just a powerful force under his command, not even the strongest one. They can only obey Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao will not be controlled by them. Only Jizhou has the reversal of the host and guest relationship, and Yuan Shao has no other power to borrow. Only Jizhou can be used, Jizhou family, and the support of the powerful can influence his choice, and the initiative lies with that and not here.

This is the situation now. It is not the question of whether Yuan Shao is willing to save Guanzhong, but whether he can save him or not, whether he has the strength to save him. On this issue, he doesn't have the final say, but only the Jizhou family led by Shen Pei will say. Inadvertently, Yuan Shao became a guest, which depends on the owner's expression. Now Yanzhou is still nominally in Yuan Shao's hands, and Yuan Xi has controlled half of Qingzhou. Shen Pei is already like this. If Yanzhou is lost, how will the situation change?

Unbelievable.

Therefore, Yanzhou cannot be lost. Even if Yanzhou is destroyed, even if it is difficult to save Yanzhou, Yuan Shao still has to do his best, otherwise his prospects will be even more bleak. Only by seeing this point can Guo Tu betrayal. He doesn't have to worry about Yuan Shao being angry, he knows that Yuan Shao has no other choice. Compared with the autocratic and domineering nature of Shen Pei, he is just a loyal and upright minister.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, got up and left the seat, raised the Sizhao Knife on the desk, came to the court, looked up at the sky for a moment, and sighed with a long sword. "Ah, heaven, is it even Yuan Shao?"

Guo Tu walked over and said softly: "The lord is born with virtue, so why is Sun Ce like a lord? Since ancient times, sages have always been stormed. Those who are different from ordinary people can rush back and revive again. On the contrary, they can drive the road smoothly and those who are invincible often die in one battle. The three armies can help the commander, but every man cannot take away his ambition. I hope that the lord is as clear as a training, as if he is as sharp as a polished person, to achieve great achievements, and ministers can also attach themselves to the tail of the horse and become a tool for corals."

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and said, "Public, even if I have the will, what will God do?"

"Otherwise." Guo Tu showed a confident smile. "Lord, the will of heaven is clear, but the lord is not clear. Please tell me about it. Han is the virtue of fire, which is the virtue of the Han Dynasty. After Yao, the prophecies of the Han Dynasty are very clear. Sun Ce is a man of ordinary people who are not well-educated in knowledge, and he made prophecies of the prophecies of heaven, which is inconsistent, which makes people laugh. Sun Ce occupied Nestle, secretly occupied Yu Shun's old land, and created Shun's rumors about Danzhu, but regarded himself as fire virtue, which is not contradictory?"

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking.

Guo Tu continued: "Any saints must have overestimated their abilities and want to use the sparrow to imitate the swans. Shun avoids the elixirs and vermilion. Confucius once encountered the falsehood of the Yanghu, which caused the trouble of Chen Cai. Using the past to describe the present, this is the trouble of the lord. For example, if this precious sword and sharp blade are not refined to a hundred times, how can it blow the hair and cut off the hair?"

Yuan Shao sighed softly and danced with a knife.

"The phoenix is ​​phoenix, how can the virtue decline? It cannot rise up, dance and wander. Pray for the wind of the sky, so as to sway for thousands of miles. Carrying clouds and rolling waves, leaping mountains and seas..."

Ju Su caught up with Shen Pei and grabbed Shen Pei's sleeve. "Brother Zhengnan, Brother Zhengnan, listen to me."

Shen Pei stopped and turned his head to look at Ju Su with a smile. "Please get in the car and talk?"

Ju Su breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Pei came to the car, and a waiter opened the car door. Shen Pei was not polite and got on the car first. Ju Su sighed secretly. Yuan Shao's territory was getting smaller and smaller, but Shen Pei's pomp was getting bigger and bigger. This was not a way to protect himself. If the situation was not for the special situation today, he really didn't want to get too close to Shen Pei.

"Public and?" Shen Pei probed his head and looked at Ju Su.

Ju Su squeezed out a smile, got on the car, and sat opposite Shen Piao. The car was spacious, half wider than an ordinary carriage. The carriage widened outwards and exceeded the wheels. The top of the wheels turned into two small cases, putting some debris. Ju Su sat down, Shen Piao put down a wooden board, combined the two small cases into a large case, and then took out a map to lay it on the case. Ju Su was surprised. It seemed that this was not an ordinary carriage, but a moving tent.

Seeing this, Shen Pei smiled proudly and said, "Military affairs are busy, and the war is everywhere in Jizhou. I rarely sleep peacefully. This is my camp."

Ju Su grinned, but did not accept Shen Pei's words. The camp could indeed be used for generals, but Yuan Shao had not yet been called emperor, so Shen Pei regarded himself as a general. If this was passed to Yuan Shao's ears, Yuan Shao would definitely be unhappy.

"Do you worry about being implicated by me?" Shen Pei's eyes flashed and his fingers tapped on the map.

Ju Su sighed. "Brother Zhengnan is so serious, I just think lord..."

"The lord is generous on the outside and is afraid of others, and I can't tolerate others. I know this." Shen Pei took out two wine glasses from the cabinet next to him, took out a pot of wine and filled it, and pushed one of them in front of Ju Su. "So I'm very worried that the lord was not defeated by Sun Ce in the end, but by his inner suspicion."

Ju Su was shocked when he looked at the golden wine glass. This was a top-quality golden lacquer cup. It could not be produced locally in Jizhou, and only the workers in Shu County could do it. Yuan Shao had a set, which was sent by Cao Cao. How could Shen Pei have it? He drank it all in one gulp, turned the cup over, and saw the mark of the workers in Shu County at the bottom. He couldn't help but look at Shen Pei in shock. Shen Pei was very calm and sipped the wine slowly.

"What Cao Cao gave me should be with the lord's lord."

Ju Su was speechless. No wonder Shen Pei was willing to save Yanzhou, which had a larger population, but refused to save Guanzhong, which had a small population. It turned out that this relationship was still there. This set of paint cups is probably the tip of the iceberg. Shen Pei was famous for her luxury in life. Cao Cao had known for a long time, and he didn't know how many gifts he had given secretly.

"Do you think that I strongly advocate saving Yanzhou because of the gift Cao Cao gave?"

Ju Su cleared his throat. "Brother Zhengnan, I am indeed a little confused. Guanzhong has only more than 200,000 households and a million people. For a temporary emergency, a million stones are enough. Jizhou has a normal tribute and tax. There are frequent wars in recent years, and there has been no tribute. However, it is necessary to allocate hundreds of thousands of stones to the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan people. Why should we be stingy with these hundreds of thousands of stones and lose the big ones because of small losses?"

Shen Pei shook his head, smiling without saying a word. He held the wine glass, looked through the car window, and looked at the pedestrians and the inner walls on both sides. After a while, he said, "Don't you, give money and food to the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan people. As for the court, do you think that if the lord surrenders to the emperor, the emperor can live without blame? The lord cannot be a minister, and the emperor will not be willing to abdicate. They have the same power."

"But Xun Wenruo..."
