My understanding is against the heavens, I will build an eternal destiny in the Three Kingdoms

After hearing this, Xu You immediately looked at Jushou, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself:"Today, why did you, an old boy, come out to destroy me? That's too much!" At this time, Guo Tu looked at it happily. Jushou then looked at Xu You, who had a somewhat ugly expression, and couldn't help but cup his hands to Yuan Shao and said:"My lord! I think what you said makes sense! At present, we should repair it for a year and a half before talking to Cao Cao." It would be appropriate to start a war;"

"What Xu You said before is totally ridiculous! Although Cao Cao has just captured Xuzhou, and Xu You is trimming and digesting the results and benefits of Xuzhou, don't we need to digest the results and benefits of Youzhou and Qingzhou first?"

"My lord has been favored by heaven, and was born into the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes. Even though he currently controls the three states like Cao Cao, in terms of foundation and power, Cao Cao is obviously far from being able to compare with you, my lord!"

"Therefore, I thought it would be better to repair it for a year and a half first"

"Well...."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao became confused:"What you said makes sense!"

"Trimming does have its benefits! But this is undoubtedly the time when Cao Cao is at his weakest. If I don't take the opportunity to capture Cao Cao, I'm worried that he will be too big to lose!"

"I know Cao Mengde very well! This guy is not simple!"

"In addition, we cannot simply consider Cao Cao's problem. Su Xuan is actually our real enemy!"

"I remember you analyzed it for me before. Su Xuan was just accumulating strength and cultivating talents for reform at this time, so he did not expand externally!"

"But the time left for us is only more than a year at most, right?"

"By then, Su Xuan will definitely start to expand externally with all his strength!"

"If we cannot capture Cao Cao and the three Central Plains states before this, and integrate the power of these six or even seven states, and continue to use our strength to deal with Su Xuan, we may not be Su Xuan's opponent;"

"Therefore, I have made up my mind to launch a full-scale attack on Cao Cao in three months. I must decide the outcome in one battle, capture Cao Cao in 07, and then prepare to face Su Xuan!"

"What do you think?"

He couldn't wait any longer. He was worried that if he kept waiting, his calculations would become even smaller.

"this...."

Jushou and others were stunned when they heard this. Apparently they didn't expect Yuan Shao to pay so much attention to Su Xuan and see things so thoroughly.

Indeed, Cao Cao is just the current enemy, Su Xuan is the real enemy!

Although Su Xuan still only occupies one state, Ju Shou and others clearly know how powerful Su Xuan is at this time through all kinds of intelligence.

This is only on the surface. It is still unknown how many tricks and experience Su Xuan has hidden secretly.

After all, they have not seen much of what Su Xuan is showing now.

For example, that iron car.

Su Xuan's steel is so rich that it can be used to build bridges and pave roads, which shows how powerful his heritage is.

Nowadays, only by gathering the power of seven or even ten states can it be possible to ensure a steady victory over Su Xuan.

The key is that Su Xuan's new policy is too targeted for nobles like Xu You and Guo Tu.

They didn't want to see Su Xuan win.

Even if Cao Cao is better than Yuan Shao, they can still rely on Cao Cao to ensure the continuity and prosperity of the family.

But if Su Xuan wins in the end, then the good days of their noble clan may be over.

It is true that Su Xuan's new policy did not exterminate the gentry, but only restricted them to a large extent.

But this is also unacceptable to the gentry.

Although they can contribute, but you want them to cut off your flesh?

That is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Ju Shou, Xu You, Guo Tu and others looked at each other, thought about it comprehensively, and immediately raised their hands together and said:"Lord, sage! It is true that time does not wait for me! We second the proposal"

"Ha ha! very good!"

Yuan Shao smiled heartily when he saw that several of his subordinates were rarely united when he made a decision, and immediately waved his hands and said:"In that case, you should hurry up and prepare!"

"The logistics and the stability of the states and counties will be left to you!"

"In addition, large-scale recruitment of troops was carried out, money and food were collected from various noble clans, etc.;"

"This time, I want to defeat Cao Cao in one battle, and then prepare for the battle against Su Xuan."

Of course, at this time, he needs Jushou and the others to work together to make him happy. If it were normal, he would still hope that the people under him would oppose each other and be divided into different factions. In this way, he would be able to balance and not be overwhelmed by the people below. Empty!

If the people under his hands are all twisted into a rope and standing together, that is what he needs to worry about!

Wouldn't this become a replica of their Yuan family?

I think back then, their Yuan family was not Only by uniting and winning over most of the gentry and ministers in the court can we gain extremely powerful power. Can we force the imperial power to even accept a relative as a dog?

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's view, it is important to divide his subordinates and master the balance..

However, everything has its pros and cons.

It is naturally a good choice for Yuan Shao to play balance in the peaceful and prosperous times.

But if it is placed in today's troubled times, it will only make most of his strength fall into internal friction. , greatly reducing his ability to fight externally.

At the same time, the intrigues of his subordinates, fighting for the sake of fighting, and constantly giving conflicting suggestions will make it more and more difficult for Yuan Shao, the lord, to make accurate decisions over time. Judgment and becoming scheming.

This is reality.

"Here!"

Xu You and others heard this and immediately accepted the order.

Then, Yuan Shao's men went all out and began to prepare.

Cao Cao was always paying attention to Yuan Shao. With such a big movement and such an obvious purpose, Cao Cao was naturally the first He received the news immediately.

He suddenly looked solemn:"Yuan Benchu ​​is preparing for war! Are you eager to start a war with me? It seems that he can't wait any longer!"

Cao Cao, who had just returned to Xuchang, immediately summoned all the civil and military men under his command. When everyone arrived, he looked around and said:"There is news from the north that Yuan Shao is actively recruiting troops and gathering supplies recently, obviously preparing for war.!"

"And the target must be us!"

"This battle is obviously inevitable! Do you have any good countermeasures?"

He had been able to continue to accumulate strength for a year and a half before going to war with Yuan Shao.

After all, Xuzhou's new acquisition had not had time to be fully digested, but Yuan Shao had already begun to prepare for the war.

This disrupted his rhythm.

"It seems that Yuan Shao is not useless! hey-hey!"

"However, it is true that Yuan Benchu ​​was still a young hero of the generation, with extraordinary talents and methods;"

"Later, the frequent misdeeds were actually just malicious intentions. They were all done deliberately to achieve the goals of the Yuan family and even Yuan Shao himself!"

"I really can’t underestimate him!"

Cao Cao thought to himself.

Of course, Cao Cao would not overly look at Yuan Shao or even be afraid of him.

Because he knows Yuan Shao too well.

When you know a person too well, you will lose your awe towards him.

Well! The premise is that you also have the ability to protect yourself

"this..."

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials looked at each other.

"Lord! What else is there to say? We are also ready to go to war! It’s not like Yuan Shao can’t win!"

"that is! that is! Yuan Benchu, nothing more than that! Beating Gongsun Zan for so long is not considered a skill! Much worse than you, my lord!"

"Lord! The final general invites you to fight!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"....."

Every one of the generals were as if they had been given blood, and they were all shouting for a fight, as if Yuan Shao was like a chicken and a dog that could be easily defeated.

On the contrary, it is the civil servants who seek the masters.

Except for Xun Yu and a few others who were truly loyal to Cao Cao, the rest of them had flickering eyes and complicated thoughts in their hearts.

These people are constantly in contact with Yuan Shao, and the exchanges between each other have never stopped.

They even leaked some information and secrets about Cao Cao to Yuan Shao.

They didn't really want to betray Yuan Shao directly, they were just betting on both sides.

Because, compared to Yuan Shao, who was the fourth generation and the third Duke, they were actually less optimistic that Cao Cao could beat Yuan Shao.

It is necessary to leave an escape route for yourself and the family behind you in advance.

Of course, the fact that they were so polarizing had something to do with the fact that Cao Cao was from a low background and was an eunuch.

In the final analysis, even if they surrendered to Cao Cao, it was only because Cao Cao was temporarily powerful and it was profitable to follow him.

Deep down, people from these aristocratic families still looked down on Cao Cao.

Why do you think he is so famous after being an eunuch?

We will definitely replace you in the future.

There are quite a few nobles who have such an idea.[]

Doesn't Cao Cao know this? not necessarily!

He is so smart, he should be able to see through this.

But what if you see through it?

He is not Su Xuan. He does not have the ability, courage and opportunity of Su Xuan. He dares and can directly carry out the New Deal without relying on these noble families, and even suppresses these noble families to develop and strengthen himself.

Therefore, Cao Cao actually often envied Su Xuan.

Because Su Xuan did what he wanted to do but couldn't do, and got what he wanted but couldn't ask for.

But he was not jealous of Su Xuan.

Because what Su Xuan is today is all due to his own efforts, not just luck or luck.

If he were in Su Xuan's original position, he wouldn't be able to achieve Su Xuan's level.

Times create heroes, but first you must have the capital and ability to become a hero

"Lord!

Seeing others talking about each other and not knowing how to speak, Xun Yu finally stood up and said with his hands in his hands:"From Yichen's point of view, the gap between us and Yuan Shao at this time is not big ;"

"Yuan Shao controlled the three states of Ji, You, and Qing;"

"Among them, Youzhou is newly acquired, and Qingzhou has not yet been able to capture the entire territory;"

"In addition, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have been fighting for many years, spending countless money and food, and their wealth has been almost exhausted!"

"On the contrary, the lord also owns the land of the three states. Yanzhou has been under control for a long time, and Yuzhou has been completely digested. Xuzhou is rich and has not experienced much war. It has also preserved a considerable population and wealth. Even though we have acquired Xuzhou not long ago, this time If necessary, a lot of money, food and even young men can be expropriated;"

"In this way, we can even have some advantages over Yuan Shao in these aspects!"

"The only difference may be that we have relatively few cavalry!"

"In addition, Yuan Shao and Bingzhou Jia Wu are in the same situation. We can definitely send Jia Wu as an envoy to form an alliance with him to deal with Yuan Shao!"

340" There is no need for him to deal with Yuan Shao's main force. He only needs to send troops from Bingzhou to intimidate Jizhou and even Yecheng to help us contain a considerable part of Yuan Shao's force;"

"Yuan Shao had to fight on two fronts!"

"Also, we can also send an envoy to Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army in Montenegro, and try to persuade him to send troops to Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao goes to war with us;"

"If it succeeds, Yuan Shao will face the dilemma of fighting on three fronts;"

"By then, it will be easy to defeat Yuan Shao and capture the three northern states."

"Um?"

Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this, but he asked with some doubts at the time:"Wen Ruo, your other income is very good, but are the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao allies? How can we persuade him to use troops against Yuan Shao?"

This is almost impossible!

Could it be...

Recalling the past actions of the Black Mountain Army, Cao Cao's eyes began to light up slightly.

After hearing this, Xun Yu immediately replied:"On the surface, this is indeed the case! But in my opinion, this is not the case!"

"Looking at the past actions of Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, it seems that he has formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, but in fact it is just an exchange of interests!"

"Yuan Shao provided money and food, and he contributed;"

"But that was while Gongsun Zan still existed, and he could benefit from being caught in the middle;"

"Now, Yuan Shaohe has completely eliminated Gongsun Zan's forces and captured the entire Youzhou. Can he still tolerate the existence of a force like the Black Mountain Army that is not under direct control and may threaten his hinterland Jizhou at any time?"

"I don’t think so! Yuan Shao probably wants to destroy the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan more than anyone else at this time!"

"This can be seen from the fact that he instigated Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army to attack Jia Wu of Bingzhou a few months ago!"

"Yuan Shao clearly wanted to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. He wanted to make the Black Mountain Army and Jia Wu fight with each other, causing both sides to lose, and then he could come out and eliminate the two sides at once;"

"But Yuan Shao obviously underestimated Jia Wu and Zhang Yan. These two people were obviously not economical lamps! They all saw through Yuan Shao’s intentions;"

"Therefore, although Zhang Yan and Jia Wu fought against each other, it was just a show for Yuan Shao, the Huns, and the Xianbei people!"

"It can be seen from the battle losses that both the Black Mountain Army and Jia Wu's troops suffered very little losses in fighting each other;"

"Yuan Shao later found out about this, but there was nothing he could do against Zhang Yan!"

"The cooperation could only be severed, and Zhang Yan withdrew the army;"

"The alliance between the two parties has obviously broken down. This is our opportunity!"

"Therefore, I suggest that the main force send envoys to Jia Wu and Zhang Yan to unite them against Yuan Shao." ps: Please order first, customize, and support!
