Wen Chou then thought: "Kong Yichang is the governor of the state, but these Yingchuan people were afraid that Kong Yichang would collect grain and ask for money after entering the country, which would hurt their interests, so they would urge me, a person who could barely be self-sufficient, to the throne. It was said that Dong Zhuo was in charge of the court, deposed the emperor, and poisoned the King of Hongnong, which caused many people's indignation. However, with such coalitions and scholars from all over the country, what would happen if there were more princes who raised their troops to go to ten routes? In the end, they would return without success."

Seeing him pondering, Zhou Lu asked again: "Yuzhou is coming, I wonder if the general wants to welcome him with us?"

Wen Chou replied: "Yuzhou is in ally with me, and he is also the chief official of Guizhou. How can I not welcome him? Even if you don't come to invite him, I am about to look for you and discuss welcoming Yuzhou."

Zhou Lu said, "Someone among the county officials said: In front of Yuzhou, the prefect asked the prefect to come out to welcome him, but the prefect had already resigned, so he had to go to the king and Xun to welcome him. Now the army and horses in Yuzhou are very strong. When we arrived in our county, we thought we should go out to welcome him a hundred miles away... I wonder what the general thought?"

Wen Chou thought to himself: "Get out of the county and welcome him over a hundred miles away? This is due to his power, it is not conducive to his authority in Yingchuan in the future, nor is it conducive to his secret confrontation with Kong Yuzhou in the future." So he thought for a while, and then slowly shook his head and said, "I think it is inappropriate."

"I hope to hear the details."

"According to the etiquette system, even if the state lords arrived, there was no reason to go out to welcome him for a hundred miles. What's more, although Kong Yuzhou's troops were strong, they were just the governor of the state, and they could not reach the level of going out to welcome him for a hundred miles? Furthermore, Kong Yuzhou is a well-known and famous man. Although I have never met him, I have always respected him. If we really go out to welcome him for a hundred miles, those who don't know the inside story might think that this was what Kong Yuzhou asked for. In this way, we are not respecting him, but defaming his reputation." Wen Chou said slowly after thinking carefully.

"The general's words are very reasonable, but the general thinks we should face them?"

"Well. It's enough for you to come out of the county to welcome him thirty miles away."

"What about the general?"

"I'm waiting for him outside the county."

Wen Chou kept saying that he wanted to welcome Kong Yichang with Zhou Lu and others. After talking for a long time, he was "waiting for him outside the county". Where is this going to welcome him? However, Zhou Lu and others also understood that Wen Chou's reputation was no lower than Kong Yichang. Although the troops under the tent were not as good as Kong Yichang, he was able to win because the soldiers dared to fight. In addition, he had the intention of competing with Kong Yichang to be the first and second place, and it was already a face for Kong Yichang to welcome him outside the county.

Zhou Lu and others received Wen Chou’s reply and knew what to do. They immediately said goodbye and returned to the county government to arrange to welcome Kong Qicheng.

Tian Feng, Xun Yan, Tian Chou, Guo Jia and others followed Wen Chou's side. After hearing Wen Chou's arrangements for greeting Kong Yichang, he smiled and said, "Ming Ming made such arrangements."

"Oh, what's the good thing?" Wen Chou replied.

"The county officials went out to welcome him for thirty miles, which was in accordance with etiquette. Ming Gong first ordered Wen Ruotongjing soldiers to welcome him early, and then personally greeted him outside the county. Kong Yuzhou was dissatisfied and had no reason to say anything." Tian Feng said.

Wen Chou sighed and said, "Oh, I have no such thing! We led our army to come far away, which is a "guest army". Kong Yuzhou is the governor of this state. If we don't think of any solutions, if we are suppressed by him, we will be in a state of being under others and will never have any autonomy again. You have read the letter from Meng Zhuo before. If we don't have autonomy, how can we talk about attacking Dong?"

What is certain is that as long as the war is fought against Dong, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and there will inevitably be constant disputes between prefectures and counties. Tian Feng and Wen Chou have discussed this many times, and the two have reached a consensus. Wen Chou intends to use this time to challenge Dong to take Jizhou first and Yingchuan as the purpose of Yingchuan. Even if it cannot be achieved, it is necessary to gain enough talents and other resources. Tian Feng is also clear. At this time, Wen Chou attributed the reason for fighting for the power of Yingchuan with Kong Yi to "debate Dong". He just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

After all, I know that things like Yingchuan and Jizhou are just going to be able to promote them everywhere. After all, they are just an army affiliated to Han Fu.

Because Wen Chou talked about Zhang Miao's letter, it aroused Guo Jiazhi's thoughts. He said worriedly: "Seeing General Zhang's letter, the above said that the Sour Jujube Alliance had no picture of attack, and Yuan Bohai was unable to enter the battle because of lack of food... Lord, Yuan Bohai had tens of thousands of people, and the Sour Jujube Alliance had more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry. They did not fight, but only rely on General Zhang, General Cao, General Sun and the Sour Jujube Alliance. Even if they went to fight, they were afraid that it would be difficult to defeat Dong!" This was his beginning as a member of Wen Chou's staff group, and he was more excited because of his performance.

Tian Chou had a flash of inspiration and said, "If you can accomplish something first, it is not impossible to defeat Dong and win."

Wen Chou asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Tian Feng and Guo Jia all knew what Tian Chou meant. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Yuzhou!"

This "Yuzhou" obviously refers to Kong Yichang. As Guo Jia said before, Wen Chou and Cao Cao who wanted to attack Dong Zhuo, the crux of the fact that Dong Zhuo cannot successfully defeat Dong Zhuo is that his troops are insufficient. If he can take over more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry under Kong Yuzhou for his own use, then his disadvantage in military strength can be smoothly compensated. Even if Dong Zhuo cannot be defeated with one strike, he can still achieve several beautiful victories, which will increase the reputation of Wen Chou and others! This can be regarded as achieving Wen Chou's goal. However, this incident is not easy to operate! It can be said that it is basically impossible.

After a brief thought, Wen Chou understood the intention of these three people and confirmed: "According to what you said, do you need to first collect more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry under Kong Yuzhou for our use?"

Tian Chou replied: "That's right."

Wen Chou said, "We are a guest army, and Kong Yuzhou is a landlord. It would be great if we can suppress him. I want to take the people under his tent for my own use? The difficulty is comparable to climbing the sky."

"If you retreat to the next best, if you are unable to accept the Yuzhou army as a means of use, then you can get the help of Kong Yuzhou." Tian Feng said in the interface.

"That's hard," Wen Chou said decisively.

Tian Chou, Tian Feng, Xun Yan and others were all silent.

Guo Jia was worried and said, "If you cannot get help from the Yuzhou army, then the 50,000 troops, including the lord, General Sun, General Zhang, and General Cao's troops, will be unpredictable if they advance to fight." In fact, there are more likely to be defeated. Guo Jia said unpredictable words just now because of Wen Chou's face.

In this small group, in addition to Wen Chou, Sun Jian, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and even Bao Xin are mostly new soldiers, and the elites who can fight together cannot reach 10,000. Even if Wen Chou's elites are added, it is the limit to have 20,000 elites. With this force, fighting against the elites of Liangzhou, the central elites and Bingzhou elites under Dong Zhuo is not difficult to predict, but it is difficult to win! (To be continued.)
