Chapter 247

No matter what kind of suggestions Ju Shou, Tian Feng, and others proposed.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping would definitely stand out to oppose them!

This had nothing to do with right or wrong.

It was simply opposing for the sake of opposing.

And for the Hebei faction.

Although they hated these people of the Henan faction to death.

They had no way to get rid of these people of the Henan faction in the short term.

After all, their master Yuan Shao was strictly speaking also a Henan person.

If the Hebei faction took action against these people of the Henan faction, Yuan Shao would certainly not stand idly by.

How to balance the Hebei faction and the Henan faction and use both of these major factions for himself was what Yuan Shao, as the master, should consider.

At this moment, facing the attacks of Guo Tu and Xin Ping.

Tian Feng was so angry that his face flushed, and he immediately stood out to retort:

"Guo Tu, you little brat, you really have the views of a common man!"

"Xin Ping, you little brat, you are a man without strategy!"

"Who said that this loss must be borne by the lord alone?"

"The lord is the leader of the Guandong coalition."

"He can use the name of the leader to summon the various warlords to meet again."

"In this way, the losses will be shared among the various warlords, and it won't be so terrifying."

Hearing Tian Feng say this.

Yuan Shao's heart was already moved.

Assuming that killing fifty thousand elite troops of Dong Zhuo's army required paying one hundred thousand soldiers of the Guandong coalition.

For the Guandong coalition, was this a loss?

It was a huge profit!

Although Dong Zhuo occupied quite a bit of land now and the combat power of his army was also very strong.

But his population resources were still far inferior to Guandong.

The number of soldiers lost by the various Guandong warlords, when shared, was still within an acceptable range.

But if Dong Zhuo suddenly lost many soldiers, he would certainly not be able to restore his combat power in the short term.

This is like the war between the six heroes of the East during the Warring States period and the Qin state.

They intended to continuously weaken the strength of the Qin state through war.

But what was awkward was.

The six heroes of the East not only failed to achieve the goal of weakening the Qin state, but instead fought among themselves, eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the plan to weaken the Qin state.

Now.

Dong Zhuo is like the powerful Western Qin.

And Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, and others are like the heroes of Guandong.

The struggle between the two sides could not be decided in a day or two.

Before Guo Tu and Xin Ping could retort again.

Yuan Shao took the lead and made the decision:

"Yuanhao's words are very true." (Tian Feng's courtesy name is Yuanhao)

"As a loyal subject of the Han dynasty, this leader should stand up for His Majesty and for the imperial court to crusade against the rebels!"

"However, among the various warlords of Guandong, intrigue is also endless."

"I'm afraid we need to resolve these contradictions first before we can form an alliance."

When saying this, there was no embarrassment on Yuan Shao's face at all.

In fact.

The contradiction among the Guandong warlords, to put it bluntly, is the problem of "big fish eating small fish."

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and others intended to expand their own strength and territory, so they naturally needed to try every means to annex other weak warlord factions.

And now, those relatively weak warlords had basically been eliminated.

Only the lucky ones, Kong Rong of Beihai and Zhang Yang of Shangdang, still survived.

And among the big warlords.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Yuan Shu of Yuzhou, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou were roughly the main forces among the Guandong warlords.

However.

Tao Qian and Cao Cao had the feud of killing his father.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had been fighting to the death not long ago.

Just based on the terrible diplomatic relations of these families.

To reach an alliance to resist Dong Zhuo unanimously.

It was not something that could be done just by talking.

Suddenly, a voice full of confidence resounded through the deliberation hall.

Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was Feng Ji.

Feng Ji said:

"My lord, when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

"If these warlords don't want to be annexed by Dong Zhuo, the only way is to unite."

"I volunteer to go to Gongsun Zan's place and persuade him to form an alliance to resist Dong Zhuo!"

Hearing this.

Whether it was Tian Feng or Ju Shou, or Guo Tu and Xin Ping, they all couldn't help but give Feng Ji a thumbs up!

Really awesome, it has to be Feng Ji!

With Gongsun Zan's hot temper, it was highly likely that he would not only refuse the alliance but instead drag Feng Ji down and behead him.

But knowing Gongsun Zan's character.

Feng Ji still dared to stand out.

And took the initiative to volunteer to persuade Gongsun Zan!

It really is damn artistic and bold!

A flash of gratification flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Don't look at Feng Ji's bad reputation in later history.

But in fact, he could be called the "top lobbyist" of this era!

The person who previously tricked Han Fu into giving up Jizhou was Feng Ji.

In terms of strategy, Feng Ji might be far inferior to Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

But in terms of eloquence, Feng Ji could be called the top of the age!

"Good! Since Yuantu is so confident, the task of persuading Gongsun Zan to join the alliance is handed to you." (Feng Ji's courtesy name is Yuantu)

"After the matter is accomplished, Yuantu will be the first hero to facilitate this!"

Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed in Feng Ji's eyes.

The eyes of the strategists looking at him were also full of envy.

"However, who should be sent to Cao Aman's place?"

Yuan Shao said with a thoughtful look.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still in their honeymoon period at this stage, but Cao Cao and Tao Qian had the feud of killing his father.

For a while, Cao Cao could not completely annex Tao Qian.

If the two sides continued to fight, they would only waste military strength.

As two important links of the coalition, Yuan Shao did not want Tao Qian and Cao Cao to fight to the death now.

The person who tied the bell must untie it.

If this war is to stop, naturally both sides need to withdraw their troops.

And the top priority is to persuade Cao Cao to extinguish the idea of attacking Tao Qian.

"My lord, I am willing to go."

A refined and slightly thick voice rang out.
