Unexpectedly, as soon as Pang Tong's words came out, the rest of the people were silent, and there was no excitement as expected.

"Why?" Pang Tong smiled and said, "Could it be that everyone is not optimistic about Yuan Shu."

"I was the one who judged before, and I'm going to ask Shi Yuan for advice this time!" Xu Shu looked at Pang Tong with a burning gaze, and there was a flash of light in his eyes from time to time.

Pang Tong was speechless, he didn't expect Xu Shu to turn against the general, but he was not to be outdone, and said proudly: "Okay! If that's the case, let me speak first."

"All ears!" Xu Shu laughed.

Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others also looked at Pang Tong with a smile on their faces.

Pang Tong pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu is really good! He had quite a reputation in his early years, but most of them were ignored by scholars. After the crusade against Dong Zhuo, he began to rise, flat Huainan, and Jiangdong. The rapid expansion is amazing Stunning. Now occupying Lianghuai and Jiangdong, he can be called the number one prince in the world."

"It's rare! It's rare!" Shi Tao said jokingly: "It's really rare for Shi Yuan to praise Yuan Shu."

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I don't want to see Yuan Shu. It's not because he is incompetent, but because they have different ideas."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly. He knew Pang Tong very well and understood the meaning of his words.

Xu Shu and Shi Tao didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they finally understood.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at Pang Tong in a daze.

Seeing the doubts of the two, Xu Shu explained: "Shi Yuan loves to use strange tricks, and he likes to be surprised and seek victory in danger. Looking at Yuan Shu's use of troops, although the marching speed is extremely fast, its essence is in line with the right way. Strong troops defeat the enemy and gather forces. Suppressing, it's really a conspiracy, but it's at odds with Shi Yuan."

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Yu and Lu Su finally understood that Pang Tong's so-called difference of ideas refers to this.

"Yuan Shu's march is so fast that there is a suspicion of playing tricks!" Zhuge Liang said indifferently, "All the princes in Huainan and Jiangdong are weak. Wherever Yuan Jun goes, the momentum is like a broken bamboo. How can we be unhappy?"

"Kong Ming's words are reasonable!" Xu Shu agreed.

Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "What's the use of saying this? Now that Yuan Shu has achieved great power, he only needs to take down Jingzhou, and then he can conquer the Central Plains in the north and achieve unrivaled hegemony. What's wrong with all the previous things?"

Lu Su laughed loudly and said, "Hearing Shi Yuan's words, Su is more determined to vote for General Yuan."

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and laughed.

"When is Zijing going to go to seek refuge?" Zhuge Liang asked suddenly.

Lu Su pondered for a while, and replied: "It will be within the year, and the exact time has not been decided yet." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Yu who was beside him from the corner of his eye.

Sensing Lu Su's gaze, Zhou Yu said helplessly, "Zijing can go by himself, why bother to drag me?"

"I'm afraid that Gong Jin will live in seclusion and never see each other again." Lu Su blinked, making a rare joke.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed in unison.

Zhou Yu thought for a while, and said proudly: "I also know what Zijing means. That's all! Let's go with Zijing in another day, and see Yuan Shu."

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, and he praised loudly: "Gong Jin is so brave!"

Zhuge Liang was a little worried, knowing that the persuasion was fruitless, so he could only remind him: "Gong Jin goes ahead, be careful, don't be arrogant."

"Hehe!" Zhou Yu said with a light smile, "Don't worry about Kong Ming! Yuan Shu has always valued talent, even if he knew about my relationship with Bo Fu, he would not kill him, otherwise who would dare to vote for him in the future?"

Although Zhou Yu was in the middle of the game, he could see it very clearly, even surpassing Zhuge Liang and other outsiders.

In order to attract talents, Yuan Shu did not hesitate to offend the aristocratic family, and set up a recruiting hall, which shows that he has a strong heart. Even if Zhou Yu is a friend of the enemy, Yuan Shu will never kill him, otherwise his reputation will be lost, and there will be no more talents to serve him.

Everyone was shocked. They were all worried before, but they didn't think deeply. After Zhou Yu's reminder, they suddenly realized.

"What Gong Jin said is true!" Everyone was full of admiration in their hearts, and at the same time, they were slightly ashamed. Who would have thought that Zhou Yu, an insider, could understand it better than outsiders like them.

Lu Su was overjoyed, and Zhou Yu was the happiest if he could figure it out.

Unfortunately, before he was happy, Zhou Yu changed the subject and said, "Zi Jing, don't be happy, I just want to meet Yuan Shu, not defect."

Lu Su was taken aback for a moment, and opened his mouth to persuade, but finally he endured it.

"Forget it! Now that Gong Jin has given up her desire to live in seclusion, it is rare to make progress, and she will just persuade her slowly in the future." Lu Su thought to himself.

"Okay!" Xu Shu came out to smooth things over, and said, "Since Gongjin has made a decision, I'll be a blessing for good life. Come! Come! Come! I'll raise my glass to see you off!"

When everyone saw it, they all raised their glasses and signaled to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Thank you! You should remember the righteousness of everyone."

Xu Shu and the others hastened to be polite.

Immediately, everyone drank it all in one gulp, shouting happily.

After that, the few people stopped talking about major events in the world, or recited poems against each other, or drank fine wine, so they were happy. <.

At this time, Gu Yong had already confiscated all the food and grass of the family. Of course, the sacrifice was huge, and the originally abundant treasury was now depleted.

But Yuan Shu didn't care, Huainan and Jiangdong are now full of vitality, the people are rich, and the business is booming. It won't be long before the treasury will be filled again.

Moreover, with a large amount of grain, Yuan Shu can brew more fine wine, which is an absolute huge profit.

When it comes to food, since the popularization of new farming techniques, food production in various places has increased greatly. Although the method of "relief with work" has absorbed a large amount of manpower, there is still a lot of surplus.

Therefore, Gu Yong arranged for these people to reclaim wasteland everywhere. If Yuan Shu hadn't ordered that trees should not be cut down wantonly, Huainan and Jiangdong might have all been turned into cultivated land by now.

Even so, the cultivated land in Huainan and Jiangdong has more than doubled, and the grain production has skyrocketed.

In addition to the confiscation of the aristocratic family's grain this time, Yuan Shu's grain and grass have reached an incredible level, and the grain and grass can no longer restrict Yuan Shu's footsteps.

There was more than one happy event. The locust plague broke out in Yan and Yu. The people almost had to eat each other. They had no choice but to move south, and countless refugees flooded into Runan County.

Regarding the population, Yuan Shu has always been open to anyone who comes. After discussing with Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao, he decided to move all of these people to Jiangdong. The construction of several major port cities in Jiangdong requires manpower. Although there are 80 mountains, it is still a drop in the bucket. These refugees can solve this urgent need by substituting work for relief, and they have tried everything.

"The prosperity of Jiangdong in the future is definitely beyond your imagination!" Yuan Shu said confidently to everyone.

All the internal affairs have come to an end, Yuan Shu began to concentrate on the outside world, and Liu Biao was his next target.

For this reason, Yuan Shu asked Zhang Hong specifically.

Zhang Hong said: "Liu Biao is not weak, my lord wants to take Jingzhou, so I need to make a long-term plan."

The implication is to ask Yuan Shu to prepare for a protracted war.

Yuan Shu frowned, he still had to plan to subdue Lu Bu, how could he have time to spend in Jingzhou?

Zhang Hong was not good at strategizing, so Yuan Shu summoned Xun You to ask Feng Ji for advice.

"Duojian City in Jingzhou, do you have a clever plan to come down?" Yuan Shu asked.

Xun You and Feng Ji were slightly surprised. The north is in chaos right now. Yuan Shu has already expressed his attitude that he does not want to get involved in this quagmire.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly! Liu Biao is not aggressive enough, and he is more than successful. It is absolutely impossible for him to go down at once." Xun You said honestly, completely cutting off Yuan Shunian's thoughts.

Feng Ji agreed with his face, for Jingzhou, it is the best policy to plan slowly.

Yuan Shu was helpless, he naturally knew that Liu Biao was not easy to deal with, and he was very different from those princes before.

Moreover, Jingzhou was one of the places with the most talented people at the end of the Han Dynasty. As long as Liu Biao could select talents and accept good words, it would definitely not be a problem to keep Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu's only advantage is that he is powerful. The number of troops far surpasses that of Liu Biao. However, Yuan Shu is reluctant to exchange the lives of a large number of soldiers for victory, so he is very contradictory.

Swiping back Xun You and Feng Ji, Yuan Shu thought quietly by himself.

For a long time, still nothing.

"Forget it! The situation in Xuzhou is changing rapidly. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu are entangled endlessly. It is uncertain what will happen. If necessary, give up Lu Bu!" Jingzhou is the most important to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu can only abandon it when necessary Lu Bu is gone.

But just when Yuan Shu had almost given up, the appearance of a person turned things around.
