Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 265
Chapter 265
After a while, the dishes were brought up one by one by the maid and placed on everyone's tables.

"In terms of age and knowledge, everyone here is much better than Ye Mou. This time, we must rely on you a lot in the crusade against the Yuan brothers. This is the first glass of wine, and Ye Mou respects you all."

Ye Xiao picked up the wine glass on the desk, seemingly toasting, but actually reminding everyone not to forget what they should do.

Even so, Ye Xiao has given everyone enough face, especially in the eyes of an outsider like Pang Tong.

Ye Xiao, as a group leader who owns four states, can still be so polite, it is not easy for the corporal. At this time, Pang Tong had an idea of ​​following Ye Xiao in his heart.

However, being from an aristocratic family, he decided to observe first. After all, what he heard was that Ye Xiao was the family's deadly enemy.

From the standpoint of the family, he cannot follow Ye Xiao. After all, following Ye Xiao is equivalent to betraying the family.

But from Pang Tong's standpoint, he is more inclined to follow Ye Xiao, because in Pang Tong's view, Ye Xiao is a hero who can help her realize her ideals.

"My lord's words really upset me. I was born in a poor realm. It would be good if I didn't starve to death in this troubled world. Fortunately, my lord took in and reused me. I waited a lifetime to learn something. We are too late to be grateful."

As Zhang Liang said, he got up and picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

In fact, what Zhang Liang said was correct, all the generals present, besides Pang Long, may have some local sheriffs, who came from the family loyal to Ye Xiao.

Most of the other people were from Yingchuan or other places who lived in the bitter cold. If it wasn't for Ye Xiao, they might have starved to death on the street.

"My lord, Wu Anguo, has no culture, so he has no choice but to speak such touching words like a military strategist in Zifang."

"I'll just say a word, if I want to charge forward, I must be the first."

People like Wu Anguo represent those from a slightly better-off family among the common people. When they were young, they could afford to eat and practice martial arts, and they had a lot of strength.

These people have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, worked as refugees, fed to the landlord's family after starvation, and were bullied by the landlord's family as tenants.

All kinds of experiences let them join the army with only one idea, and that is to have enough food.

This made them full, so naturally they followed Ye Xiao wholeheartedly.

"Hahahaha. General Wu Anguo said it well."

Since Wu Anguo participated in Zhang Liang's serial scheme last time, Ye Xiao transferred him from Jia Xu's hands and put him on Chen Gong's side.

Everyone got up one by one to talk to Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao naturally toasted to everyone one by one.

After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, Ye Xiao got up and looked out of the window after seeing the people who were satiated and drunk, and waved his hand to make the servants who were waiting around to step down.

Seeing the servants retreating suddenly, everyone knew that Ye Xiao was about to talk about business, and some officials who were slightly drunk began to forcibly sober themselves up.

"Now that the heavy rain has stopped, the army can go on the road in two to three days at most. I just don't know if you face the Yuan brothers this time, do you have any thoughts?"

"I just don't know whether the general's thoughts are aimed at Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao?"

Just when everyone bowed their heads to think, a slightly hoarse voice broke everyone's thinking.

"Oh?"

Ye Xiao looked up at the owner of the voice, and found that it was Pang Tong who had just introduced himself.

"I don't know what your opinion is, sir?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's question, Pang Tong immediately stepped forward, looked around at the crowd, then cupped his hands at Ye Xiao and said.

"General Ye, today there are Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Ma Teng, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, plus the generals and eight princes."

"Brother Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the most powerful among the princes of the Eight Routes. Before the general appeared, I always thought that the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would divide the world equally."

"However, later the general quickly occupied the four states of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yongzhou. The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the general won the four states alone, and tens of millions of officials and people! With the emperor in his hands, it can be said that the time is right. The favorable location and harmonious people are all due to General Ye. However, General Ye still did one thing wrong."

Pang Tong paused at this point, looked up at Ye, Xiao Yexiao knew that Pang Tong was testing his reaction, so he smiled and said immediately.

"The thing you're talking about must be my cleaning up the family?"

"General Ye, since you know it, you must know the power of the Qing family, so why don't you change it?"

Facing Pang Tong's role, Ye Xiao didn't answer, just shook his head with a smile and said to him.

"The harm of the aristocratic family is far greater than its benefit. The pros and cons of the relationship cannot be explained in a few words. If you are interested, you can find a time and we will sit down and discuss it in detail."

Pang Tong knew the meaning of Ye Xiao's words, which was to get back to the topic, so Mr. Wang stepped forward and cupped his hands at Ye Xiao, and continued.

"I think it is because of General Ye's decision that the land of the four states is still occupied today. However, the surrounding families are all in panic. If Yuan Shao holds up the banner at this time and the general regards Dong Zhuo as his ilk, then I believe that the second time The alliance against Dong Zhuo will be established again."

Ye Xiao knew that Pang Tong was right, which is why, after he eliminated Cao Cao and occupied Yanzhou, he did not drive Cao Cao to death.

Because Ye Xiao knew that if he drove Cao Cao to extinction, then Yuan Shao would have a reason and an excuse to unite the world's aristocratic families against him, which would be a fatal blow to Ye Xiao now.

"I know all of this, but I want to know who should we deal with first, Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Pang Tong and said calmly.

"General Ye, don't be in a hurry and listen, I will finish my sentence next."

"It is precisely because of this that General Ye has no way to eliminate any of the princes. If Yuan Shu hadn't been extremely stupid and chose to proclaim himself emperor, General Ye would not dare to send troops to Yuan Shu lightly."

Pang Tong was right, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu's own illness and insisting on becoming emperor, then there would be no reason for Ye Xiao to beat Yuan Shu.

As long as Ye Xiao has no reason, even Liu Bei and others around Yuan Shu can help him, because after all, Ye Xiao is a traitor in the eyes of Liubie and others.

"Go on."

Ye Xiao signaled to stop, and Pang Tong continued.

"I feel that this matter should be dealt with Yuan Shu first, and digest his territory as soon as possible. As for Yuan Shao, don't worry about it at all. At this time, he has just finished clearing up the land of Youzhou and wants to take over the territory there. It will take a lot of time to fully digest it, and I guess he will not give his all to support Yuan Shu."

"Then the problem now is about the distribution of the area in the south of Yangzhou. If General Ye handles it well, the Sun and Liu families will inevitably fight. If General Ye does not handle it well, then the Sun and Liu families will unite instead. stand up."

Hearing what Pang Tong said, Ye Xiao was silent for a while, and stroked the beard on his chin.

"You mean to let me separate the two of them, pull one faction and beat the other faction?"
