" Mr. Zi Yuan, your lord's sincerity isn't enough…"
Gu Yi pretended to be bargaining with Xu You.
Hearing this, Xu You frowned.
He was very afraid that Dong Zhuo's appetite was very big. Not only did he want the south of the Yellow River, but he also wanted to get his hands on the four prefectures of Hebei!
However, Gu Yi's next sentence made Xu You let down her guard.
Gu Yi said slowly,"
"Yuzhou and Nanyang County are not enough. Only by adding Yanzhou can it be worthy of my lord's identity.”
Although Yanzhou was not as rich as Jizhou and Yuzhou, it was not considered poor.
Moreover, Yanzhou was very close to Luoyang.
Gu Yi's request sounded reasonable to Xu You.
He didn't even think about it and instantly promised this empty promise.
In the end, the two of them decided to split the spoils and decided to start the decisive battle half a month later.
During the decisive battle, Yuan Shao would think of a way to restrain the other dukes.
Dong Zhuo's army had helped Yuan Shao kill Gongsun Zan, Han Fu, Zhang Yang, and Wang Kuang.
He looked at Xu You's back as she left.
Gu Yi could no longer hold back his laughter.
Then, Gu Yi reported the entire matter to Old Dong.
……
After listening, Old Dong could not help but say,
"Gu Yi, are we really going to work with Yuan Benchu?”
Jia Xu, who was standing beside Old Dong, did not speak, but his deep eyes made it impossible for others to see what he was thinking.
"Naturally, I don't want to work with Yuan Benchu.”
"Yuzhou and Nanyang County, at least at this stage, are not in our hands.”
"This is just an empty promise.”
"The reason why I agreed to Xu You's request was because I wanted to gain Yuan Shao's temporary trust.”
"Half a month later, Yuan Shao will lead the various dukes into a trap.”
"At that time, our army only needs one wave of charge to completely destroy the alliance army!”
Gu Yi said with a smile.
In reality.
Gu Yi did not believe a single word of Xu You's empty promise.
Of course.
If Xu You's visit had not happened tonight, Gu Yi would have had another backup plan.
That backup plan was none other than Sun Jian!
Gongsun Zan chose to use the captain of the Changshan volunteers and three hundred white horses to exchange for the captured Yan Gang.
Sun Jian, on the other hand, did not have anyone that Gu Yi wanted.
Thus, the way to get Zu Mao back was to make Sun Jian a traitor in the alliance army!
When Dong Zhuo's army started the decisive battle against the Guandong alliance army, Sun Jian would immediately switch sides.
Becoming enemies with the Guandong alliance army meant that Sun Jian could only be on good terms with Dong Zhuo.
Otherwise, there would be no place for him in the world.
As a form of repayment.
After the Guandong alliance army was defeated, Dong Zhuo would use the name of the imperial court to confer Sun Jian the title of Yuzhou Overseer.
Yes, it was not the Prefecture Overseer of Jing or Yangzhou, but the Prefecture Overseer of Yu!
Compared to the other Guandong aristocratic families, Sun Jian was an exception.
His background was neither high nor low.
They were not ordinary commoners and could be considered powerful, but they could not enter the ranks of aristocratic families.
People like Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had always disliked Sun Jian.
From the time at Mushui Pass when Yuan Shu and Sun Jian fell out and cut off Sun Jian's rations, it was enough to see the clues.
He was then conferred the title of Yuzhou's Shepherd by Dong Zhuo.
Whether it was to expand his territory or to survive.
The only option left was to continue being enemies with Yuan Shu.
Sun Jian, whose hands were stained with the blood of the officials of the Great Han Dynasty, would cause a bloody storm in Yuzhou, the lair of the aristocratic families!
When Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were both heavily injured.
Most of the aristocratic families in Yuzhou had probably been killed.
At that time, Gu Yi and Old Dong would lead the army into Yuzhou.
They would use the fastest speed to incorporate this piece of land into their territory!
Some handsome readers might be confused.
After defeating the Guandong alliance army, who else in the world could be Old Dong's enemy?
In fact, even if the Guandong alliance army was completely wiped out, the world would not be unified by Dong Zhuo.
It was very simple. The current Guandong alliance army was like the Eastern Six Heroes during the Warring States Period.
What was terrifying was not the Guandong allied army.
It was the Guandong aristocratic family group behind them!
Almost every dukedom had already left behind sufficient troops and heirs in their territories before joining the alliance army!
Even if the entire Guandong allied army were to die…
With the help of the various aristocratic families, these heirs would quickly gather a force that was not weaker than the current one!
This was also the reason why the powerful Qin country took several years to completely destroy the six countries.
The ones who were strong were not the rulers of the six states, nor were they the generals.
It was the Six Nations 'foundations and the supporters behind them!
The biggest problem facing Old Dong now was not from the outside, but from the inside.
The internal conflicts between factions were often the most fatal and terrifying!
For example, the Cao Wei regime did not die because of Shu Han and Wu.
It was because the Sima Clan had taken over the internal division that they were destroyed.
To Dong Zhuo's forces.
At this stage, they did not have the ability to occupy the Kanto region.
Forcefully taking a big step forward would only aggravate the internal conflicts of the Xi Liang Army and lead to their demise.
Therefore, Old Dong needed time the most at this stage!
While dealing with internal conflicts.
Watching the fire from the other side of the river, watching the various vassals of the east of the country fight to the death!
When they and the Guandong aristocratic family group behind them completely entered a critical state.
And sit back and reap the benefits!
