: Chapter 237: Yuan Shu's ambition

Cao Cao was overjoyed upon hearing this, and nodded again and again.look
Guo Jia laughed again and said, "I heard that Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, is now going south to attack Liu Biao to avenge his father. My lord, you can ask the emperor to give him the post to succeed his father as the prefect of Changsha. In this way, Sun Ce became famous as a master, and Liu Biao After Yuan Shu has no spare power to attack Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu has no worries about the future. Will he not devote all his strength to the east? If so, the southeast is in chaos, and I will take advantage of this time to join Yuan Shao, first set the north, and then force Yuan Shao with a big victory, and Hebei can be settled. The north is determined to form an alliance with Qingxu, and then go around and attack Wu Yang. At that time, no matter how strong Qingxu is, if he enters my siege, what else can he do? Either force him to surrender, or attack and take him, it is all in the hands of the lord hands and ears."

After saying these words, Cao Cao laughed and clapped his hands happily.Immediately send the order, and then act according to the strategies of the counselors.

The imperial decree was passed to Shouchun, and Yuan Shu followed it, and he was really happy.A few days ago, I just got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from Sun Ce, but in exchange for five thousand soldiers and horses and some food and fodder.Now that he has the support of the imperial court to take the land of Yangzhou, Yuan Shu's heart is very hot, and he secretly thinks, could it be God's will?Otherwise, why is it so convenient to get the jade seal?

Ambition, like weeds on the edge of the city in spring, grows wildly in my heart.Immediately convene all civil and military personnel, express the court's will, and prepare to send troops to Yangzhou. [

Master Yan Xiang dissuaded him and said, "Now that Cao Cao is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, how can he obey all his edicts? Yangzhou and I depend on each other with lips and teeth, and we have no grievances or enmities with the sun. The supply also depends on the land. Why do you cut down when you receive orders? The way of destruction. The lord should politely refuse and excuse him, and delay the matter."

Yuan Shu was thinking about good things, when Yan Xiang stopped him, he couldn't help being angry secretly, and said angrily: "Do you have a different mind?" He ordered to push out left and right, to kill Yan Xiang.

The two sides hurriedly stopped, and Chen Ji advised: "Although Cao Cao pretends to be an edict, it is based on righteousness and must be obeyed. But Yan Gong's words are really the lord, how can he have two hearts? What's more, Liu Yao has always respected the lord. , for fear of hurting people’s expectations, and cutting off my supplies, why don’t you think twice, my lord?”

Yuan Shu was furious, and shot up at the table and said, "I, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, can I rely on a small official? Liu Yao is rich, and I took it myself. Why should he enshrine it? Now there is Sun Bofu to take Jingzhou, and I will take it according to the imperial edict." Wu Yang, little boy Liu Yao, why dare you stop me? Under the great army, the land in the south is just around the corner. This is the foundation of immortality! The original surname of my Yuan family ancestor is Chen. Dao is the generation of the Han Dynasty, and it should be Tu Gaoye. I express the word highway, which is just in response to its prophecy, but Cao Cao falsely issued an edict to me at this time. Isn’t this God’s will? I want to take the world for myself, so what does Cao Cao do without him? I have made up my mind, there is no need to say anything more!"

When everyone heard that he suddenly revealed his anti-Han intention to proclaim himself emperor, they were all shocked and didn't know what to say for a while.

At that time, the former governor of Yanzhou, Jin Shang from Jingzhaoren family, was defeated by Cao Cao, and defected to Yuan Shu and stayed under his command.Together with friends Wei Duan and Wen Xiu from the same county, they are both famous scholars in Dongjun County, known as "Three Xiu".

At this time, when they heard Yuan Shu's words, they all stood up to dissuade them. Yuan Shu's eyes were red at the moment, how could he listen to it?

He was full of confidence, he didn't know how many beautiful dreams he had, but he was persuaded one after another, his heart was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore, he immediately ordered the three people to be pushed out and beheaded, and said that if there were any violations, they would be killed together.Everyone was afraid and dared not speak again.

Only then did Yuan Shu return to anger and joy, as winter was approaching and it was difficult for the army to move.Yuan Shu sent an order to Huainan's governing areas to build equipment and store grain and fodder.It is scheduled to send troops to Wu Yang after the next spring.

Regarding this series of actions, Qingzhou Fengbu has already ascertained, the news was sent to Qingzhou, Liu Zhang got a report, and called all the counselors to discuss the matter.

After some discussion, everyone couldn't help feeling a little depressed.Although there are many twists and turns here, but the few people in the seat are all heroes of the world, how could they fail to figure out the key points?It's just that Guo Jia's plan is so powerful that it's purely a conspiracy. It's hard to decipher if you know what it means.

There are three problems facing Qingzhou: first, Xuzhou's internal affairs.How to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible?

The second is to deal with Yuan Shu's inevitable supplies of food and grass.At least before Yuan Shu openly set up a big banner against the Han, he followed the order to attack, which was the king's order and occupied the commanding heights of morality.This point, whether Qingzhou admits it or not, if Yuan Shu uses this tiger's skin to extend his hand, Qingzhou will be in a dilemma.

After all, Liu Zhang's statement that day was only to curb Cao Cao's coercion order against him.But it can't control him to show it to others.Regardless of whether Qingzhou should or should not meet Yuan Shu's request, it will drag Qingzhou into the quagmire as Guo Jia calculated, and it will be difficult to develop with peace of mind.

The third is how to resolve the plan set by Cao Jun, and draw the ground as a prison strategy.If you don't fall for this strategy, Cao Jun may not easily send troops to the battlefield in Hebei.That would not be in line with Qingzhou's strategy of exhausting the enemy and supporting itself.

If you win, then if you tie your hands and feet and give others a handle, even if you can rely on Liu Zhang to secretly lay out early and get rid of it, you will inevitably end up hurting the enemy one thousand and self-inflicted eight hundred. The savings in the early stage will be wiped out. danger.

Therefore, facing these three problems, even with Liu Zhang's naturally optimistic temperament, he couldn't help laughing.He gritted his teeth secretly, knowing that this kind of calculation must have been done by Guo Fengxiao, who is known as a ghost.

Back then, I tried everything possible to find this person, but found nothing, and now I really suffered from it.This fight for hegemony, sometimes, is not just in the two duels, the crueler and more powerful place lies in these places where the smoke of gunpowder cannot be seen.

This is like a game of masters, the focus is on the layout, and the whole body is affected by one move.If one responds improperly, it will inevitably result in a crushing defeat.And at this moment, defeat almost means death, and there is no middle way to choose. [

This damn Guo Jia, it is recorded in history that he died at a young age, damn it!Then why isn't he dead now?I remember that this guy died during Cao Bailian's Northern Expedition. Now, although the history has changed a lot, looking at it now, Cao Cao's Northern Expedition is also an inevitable situation, but this inevitable situation is connected with his own way of coping.

Liu Zhang struggled with this uncomfortable.
