enough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi pretended to want to bargain and started a tug-of-war with Xu You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu You frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very afraid that Dong Zhuo's appetite was very large, not only wanting south of the Yellow River, but also wanting to get his hands on the four provinces of Hebei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Yi's next sentence dispelled Xu You's vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only hearing Gu Yi speak slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yizhou and Nanyang Commandery are not enough; adding Yanzhou would be worthy of my lord's status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yanzhou was not as wealthy as Jizhou and Yizhou, it was not poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Yanzhou was very close to Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi's request sounded quite reasonable to Xu You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even thinking, he instantly promised this blank check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the two decided on the division of spoils and decided to launch a decisive battle in half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the decisive battle, Yuan Shao would find a way to contain the other warlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Dong Zhuo army would help Yuan Shao kill Gongsun Zan, Han Fu, Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xu You's departing back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi could no longer hold back the laughter he had been holding in for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Gu Yi reported this matter to Old Dong in its entirety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Old Dong couldn't help but say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Yi, could it be that our army really wants to choose to cooperate with that Yuan Benchu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Xu, who was standing beside Old Dong, did not speak, but his deep eyes made it impossible to see what he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally, we are not going to cooperate with Yuan Benchu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yizhou and Nanyang Commandery, at least at the current stage, cannot be controlled by our army at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just a blank check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I agreed to Xu You is just to deceive Yuan Shao's temporary trust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a month later, Yuan Shao will bring the various warlords to trap themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, our army only needs one charge to completely crush the coalition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi never believed a single word of the empty promises Xu You had proposed from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Xu You’s secret visit tonight, Gu Yi still had another backup plan in reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That backup was none other than Sun Jian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan chose to exchange the captured Yan Gang for the captain of the Changshan Volunteer Army and three hundred White Horse Followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was no one in Sun Jian’s camp that Gu Yi wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the way to get Zu Mao back was to make Sun Jian a mole within the coalition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Dong Zhuo’s army launched the decisive battle against the Guandong Coalition, Sun Jian would immediately defect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning against the Guandong Coalition meant Sun Jian would have no choice but to align with Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there would be no place left for him under heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Guandong Coalition was defeated, Dong Zhuo would use the imperial court’s name to appoint Sun Jian as the Inspector of Yuzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, not the Inspector of Jingzhou or the Inspector of Yangzhou, but the Inspector of Yuzhou!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the other families of the Guandong Coalition, Sun Jian was an outlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His background was neither high nor low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not a commoner, and could be called a local magnate, but he could not enter the ranks of the noble families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had always looked down on Sun Jian in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be seen from the incident at Sishui Pass, where Yuan Shu fell out with Sun Jian and cut off his grain supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after being appointed Inspector of Yuzhou by Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to expand his territory or simply to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Jian would have no choice but to continue being an enemy of Yuan Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his hands stained with the blood of Han officials, Sun Jian would stir up a storm of blood in Yuzhou, the old nest of the noble families!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Sun Jian and Yuan Shu fought until both were severely weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noble families of Yuzhou would likely have been slaughtered as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Gu Yi and Dong Zhuo would lead their army into Yuzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would incorporate this land into their territory with the greatest speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some handsome readers might feel confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After defeating the Guandong Coalition, looking at the world, who else could be an enemy to Dong Zhuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, even if the entire Guandong Coalition were wiped out, the world would not be unified by Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is simple: the current Guandong Coalition is like the six eastern powers of the Warring States period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is terrifying is not the coalition itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the Guandong noble family group behind them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every warlord, before joining the coalition, had already left behind sufficient troops and heirs in their own territories!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the entire coalition were wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These heirs would, with the help of local families, quickly gather a force not even weaker than the current one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is exactly why the powerful Qin state took several years to completely eliminate the six states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was formidable was not the monarchs or the generals of the six states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the foundation of the six states and their supporters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for Dong Zhuo now, the biggest problem is not external, but internal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggles within factions are often the most fatal and terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Cao Wei regime did not perish because of Shu Han or Eastern Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was replaced from within by the Sima family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Dong Zhuo faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They do not currently possess the ability to occupy the Guandong region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking too large a step would only exacerbate the internal contradictions of the Xiliang Army, leading to their demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, what Dong Zhuo needs most right now is time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While dealing with internal conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch the fire from across the river and sit back while the various warlords of Guandong fight to the death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they and the Guandong noble family group behind them are completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, reap the fisherman's profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….
