Wang Yun sat in front of the steps, quietly watching the shadows of the trees in the yard, motionless.

Xu You stood in front of him, lowered his head, but stared at Wang Yun with his eyes and refused to give up. Wang Gai and Wang Chen stood aside and stared at Wang Yun, with a very ugly face. As long as Wang Yun gave the order, they would blow Xu You out.

Wang Yun was so tired that he didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to lie down. But he knew that if he didn't speak, Xu You wouldn't leave. Although Wang Gai and Wang Chen were young and had good martial arts, they were not Xu You's opponents.

He knew best what kind of person Xu You was.

"Ziyuan, the court is already like this. What else should I worry about at the beginning? Even if I just allocate 30,000 to 50,000 s, I can pay the salary of the ministers in the court first, I can still calm down the people's hearts. The kings in the court will spare no expense for him. If he does this, will he be afraid of being upset?"

Xu You was a little embarrassed, but he still refused to give in. "The prince and the prince don't know that Jizhou is the only one in hand now. Unlike Sun Ce who owns the three states, he is a bit reluctant to support the army, and there is no room for the rest of his strength to help the court. The leader said that he remembers his help to you, and will repay you one by one after defeating Sun Ce, and will never disappoint you. The most urgent task is to make Sun Ce difficult and not give him a chance to breathe. The leader has estimated that Sun Ce is at the end of his strength and cannot last long. As long as he takes time out his food, the leader goes south and Meng De advances eastward, and at most one winter and spring, he can defeat Sun Ce and take all the states of Jing and Yu. You won't be able to hold on for these few months, right?"

Wang Yun had no choice but to do anything. He knew that no matter what he said, Yuan Shao would not give him some food, so he could only find a way out by himself. Fortunately, the ministers in the court were not ordinary people after all, and their family had some savings and could still hold on for a few months.

Although Xu You was suspected of being a rogue, it made sense that a war was imminent, so it was not appropriate to distract Yuan Shao. Although Jizhou is strong, it is not entirely up to Yuan Shao. The talented people in Jizhou would not be generous enough to support the ministers of the court with food. They might hope that more of these ministers in the court would starve to death, and no one would compete with them for power and profit in the future.

Wang Yun asked Wang Gai to invite Situ Shi Sun Rui. Shi Sun Rui came soon and brought the news that Zhao Wen had just sent back. Zhao Wen rushed to Xi County and met Zhang Hong. After much quarrel, he finally asked Zhang Hong to let 300,000 shi of grain enter the pass. However, Zhang Hong put forward a request: these grains can only be used for disaster relief and cannot be used to pay the salaries of court officials.

This request put him, Situ, in a very embarrassing situation. Obviously, Sun Ce knew that they were inclined to Yuan Shao and would not support him, so he simply pointed out the contradiction and tore his face apart. Logically speaking, Yuan Shao should have taken the initiative to stand up at this time, even in form, he would have to send tens of thousands of stones of food to rescue him in order to show his return on their support. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao still refused to give up.

Han Sui and Ma Teng supported Sun Ce, so Sun Ce tried every means to raise food to help them overcome difficulties. They supported Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao sat on the sidelines of their hunger and did not give a grain of food? A child from a noble family famous for his benevolence and righteousness, but in the end he was not as loyal as a poor martial artist, which made Shi Sun Rui feel like he was wrong.

He was too lazy to get involved with Xu Youduo. After reporting the situation, he entrusted the situation and said that the disaster relief affairs were busy and left.

——

Shi Sun Rui returned to Situ's Mansion. Situ's clerk Liu Ba was talking to the attendant Liu Ye in the corridor of the front courtyard. Seeing Shi Sun Rui coming in angrily, the two looked at each other, walked over together, saluted Shi Sun Rui. Shi Sun Rui suppressed his anger and signaled Liu Ye to take his seat.

"Zi Yang, is there something wrong?"

Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "There is an accident in Youzhou. Duan Xun was coerced by Gongsun Zan and killed Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou."

Shi Sunrui was stunned for a moment and stood up. "This... what's going on?"

"Shisun Gong, you should let Tian Chou, who came to report the news, talk to you, who is engaged in Youzhou. He knows the situation best."

"Please, please." Shi Sun Rui said repeatedly.

Liu Ye went out, but it was not long, so he led Tian Chou in. Tian Chou was in his twenties, very young, but tall and extremely agile. He came to Shi Sun Rui, and before he could say a word, he knelt down in front of Shi Sun Rui and burst into tears.

"Please avenge the envoy Liu and claim justice."

Shi Sun Rui hurriedly left the table, helped Tian Chou up, and comforted him. Tian Chou controlled his feelings and just said the news he received. Gongsun Zan was greedy for Sun Ce's food, treasures, robbed Hu market, and killed Hu people. Liu Yu sent troops to attack Gongsun Zan but was captured by Gongsun Zan. The envoy Duan Xun was frightened by Gongsun Zan's tyranny and could not uphold justice. He actually killed Liu Yu in the name of rebellion and wanted to pass on the capital.

The scholar Sun Rui was frightened when he heard this. Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was killed. The murderer was a famous general in the northern border, the white horse general Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan stood behind the scenes of the general Sun Ce. This was not an accident, but this was the prelude to the confrontation between Yuan Shao and Sun Ce. When everyone thought that Yuan Shao would be the attacking side and Sun Ce would be the defense side, they did not expect that Sun Ce would take the lead in attacking, and it was in Youzhou.

When Liu Yu was killed, Yuan Shao would never sit idly by and watch Gongsun Zan control Youzhou. He would inevitably attack Gongsun Zan. If he could not win quickly, his attack on Yan Yu in the future would be delayed and he might even have to be cancelled. For Sun Ce, this was undoubtedly a matter of a god. He mobilized Yuan Shao with a few ships of food and goods, making it difficult for him to take care of the beginning and end.

The army attacked the plan, followed by the diplomatic relations. In terms of overall situation, Sun Ce undoubtedly seized the initiative and demonstrated a superb overall perspective.

Shi Sun Rui suppressed his anxiety and looked at Tian Chou. "What is the current situation in Youzhou? How many counties did Gongsun Zan control Youzhou?"

Shi Sun Rui pondered silently. Liu Yu was dead, and Situ's mansion should indeed appoint a new governor of Youzhou or governor of Youzhou, but he also knew that Yuan Shao had been coveting Youzhou for a long time and had this opportunity, he would not want to steal Youzhou. It would be impossible for him to appoint anyone to Youzhou at this time. The best way is to drag it out and wait for Yuan Shao to submit his letter, and then approve it in the name of the court.

But for some reason, he felt that this was not appropriate. He glanced at Liu Ba and then at Liu Ye. These two young people were both outstanding. They had an idea about this matter just now. They were both new to the dynasty and had nothing to do with Yuan Shao.

"Zi Yang, what suggestions do you have?"

Liu Ye bowed to show his respect. "Shisun Gong, Youzhou is a barrier to the northern border, and there are Hu people such as Wuhuan and Xianbei living together. The soldiers and horses are strong, and Yuyang Tuqi is even more famous all over the world. They are not Bingzhou Xiongnu and Liangzhou Qiang. The late emperor knew the pros and cons, so he arranged for important officials of the royal family to guard the army. Liu envoy was in Youzhou for several years and was deeply loved by the Hu Han. Gongsun Zan guarded the northern border for many years and was also a meritorious minister. Now the two are in conflict, and they attack and kill each other. Youzhou is divided and do not know where to go. I am afraid that the Hu people will take advantage of the situation and cannot be suppressed by strong officials. Moreover, Gongsun Zan is brave and good at fighting, and it is not something that can be dealt with by idle people. If what he is not a person, it will only make Youzhou even more chaotic. I hope that Shisun Gong can consider the long-term, carefully consider the candidates, stabilize Youzhou, and do not let the barbarians become bigger."

Shi Sun Rui nodded. He understood Liu Ye's reminder and heard Liu Ye's implication. Youzhou is very important and should be controlled in the hands of the court and cannot be directly controlled by Yuan Shao - Hu people and other excuses. If it were before, he would ignore Liu Ye's suggestions, but now he himself has also wavered against Yuan Shao, and Liu Ye's suggestions can be said to be a coincidence.

He pondered for a long time. "Do you have the right candidate?"
