Chapter 35: Faithful words

Yuan Shao rose to Hebei, without the repeated harassment and attacks of the Black Mountain bandits led by Zhang Yan, his path to prosperity was open and unimpeded. Gongsun Zan was about to fall, and Yuan Shao occupied the four states in the world alone, the world's number one prince. Now, he is afraid of his military force, and the spring breeze is proud and fast. Although Yuan Shao is over 40 years old, he is more energetic and looks down on the world than ever before.

Guo Tu and Xu You both agreed to attack Guo Jia. The generals, Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang Hequyi, Chunyu Qiong and Gao Lan, etc., did not make clear statements, but one or two were ready to fight. The generals were going to become famous and could only stand on the stage of war.

Yuan Shao was moved when he saw this feeling and scene.

It is undeniable that he has a panic in his heart.

Now that the family is big and the business is big, the Yuan family is in great power.

To win the world is not out of reach.

But Yuan Shao is over 40 years old.

How many years will it take to pacify the world and pacify the world?

Is he destined to sit on the throne of the emperor?

If he was twenty or thirty, he might be able to wait. His eagerness for quick success and his desire for quick success are not groundless.

"Okay, I want to..."

Yuan Shao had already decided to send troops to attack Guanzhong.

But at this time, someone in the hall shouted: "Lord, wait."

Tian Feng stepped out of the line and stopped Yuan Shao from giving the order.

The civil and military officials in the hall knew that Yuan Shao was greedy for fame and fortune and was concerned about his face. If Yuan Shao had given the order, it would be difficult for him to regret it at that time, and even cause trouble.

Tian Feng, who had been thinking silently just now, did not express his opinion, but just as Yuan Shao made a decision, he suddenly woke up and said he would stop him.

"Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao was interrupted by Tian Feng and felt a little unhappy.

Tian Feng was frowning and did not look at Yuan Shao's ugly face. He said in a deep voice: "My lord wants to attack Guanzhong. I agree that Guanzhong has a fertile territory for thousands of miles, and with the turmoil in Liangzhou, if he can conquer Guanzhong, he can be connected with Bingzhou, Sizhou and Liangzhou. In three or five years, no one in the world can stop the lord's unification. However, if the lord himself wants to attack Guanzhong today, he will strongly agree. But this idea of ​​attacking Guanzhong was mentioned by Cao Cao. Will Cao Cao turn a blind eye to his lord's strength?"

"Hmph, although Cao Aman urged the emperor to order the princes, he only had two territories in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and his troops were only over 100,000. Could he still want to point fingers at me?"

Yuan Shao snorted a few times in a depressed voice.

His jealousy for Cao Cao's possession of the emperor and the princes was unimaginable. As early as the early days of his rebellion, he thought of electing Liu Yu as the new emperor so that he could control it. His purpose was similar to the possession of the emperor and the princes.

After so many years, Cao Cao did what he had always dreamed of, which would definitely make him jealous and hateful.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was only angry, Tian Feng was not thinking deeper, and he became anxious when he spoke.

"Lord, you have to know that no matter how many soldiers and territories Cao Cao has today, he will be an enemy that will stop you from going south in the future. As long as Gongsun Zan is defeated, his lord will be able to clear Hebei. At that time, if the lord wants to continue to expand, he can only go across Henan. Cao Cao is the enemy you were the first to be blasted at that time. Can't Cao Cao see this situation? With his wisdom, he must also know that sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle with you in the future. The result of this battle will even determine the belonging of the world."

The whole hall was quiet and many people showed shock.

"Tian Feng, don't exaggerate. Cao Aman is now attacked from both sides. Lu Bu in the east and Yuan Shu in the south are hated to the core. It is a blessing that Cao Cao can protect himself. He is fighting for the world with his lord? It's nonsense."

Guo Tu first refuted Tian Feng a few words, then bowed to Yuan Shao and said loudly: "The lord is so prosperous today that there is no longer any strong enemy to stop the world. Just wait for Gongsun Zan to be defeated. At that time, the lord can lead his army to go south. If Cao Cao surrenders, he will give him high officials and generous salaries, so that he can enjoy a lifetime of glory. This is also a reward for him to understand the current affairs. If Cao Cao does not surrender, haha, Gongsun Zan is the best example. Brother Yuan Hao said something right. The lord goes south in the future and will indeed determine the belonging of the world."

After Guo Tu finished speaking, his eyes turned, turned toward the general, and then said loudly: "The soldiers and horses under the lord are several times that of Cao Cao. All the generals are rare and talented generals in the world. Can you have the soldiers and generals who can conquer warlike soldiers? Are there any enemies that are afraid of today? Generals, Cao Cao only has 100,000 soldiers and horses. Maybe you wait for two or three to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to wipe out the entire army, right?"

After saying this, not only Yuan Shao suddenly became proud, but also the generals held their heads and chests with confidence.

Guo Tu's words were very morale, but the timing was wrong.

Ju Su, who was watching coldly, sneered: Can Gongsun Zan be compared with Cao Cao? Cao Cao never surrendered when he was beaten by Lu Bu and only three counties were left.

After this, Tian Feng saw that he could not persuade Yuan Shao, he wanted to persuade him again, but in the end he turned into a sigh.

However, Ju Su left the line at the right time and said calmly to Yuan Shao: "Lord, please think about how Liu Bei lost Xuzhou."

Yuan Shao's expression suddenly solidified when he smiled.

If Liu Bei's Xuzhou City was lost by Lu Bu's sneak attack, it is considered to be the direct reason.

But the fundamental reason was that Liu Bei attacked Yuan Shu and gave Lu Bu the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Yuan Shu took the initiative to beat Liu Biao and Cao Cao, but did not provoke the war against Xuzhou. He just called himself a "Xuzhou Bo" and was used by Cao Cao to say that he had a secret disobedience. Liu Bei was the initiator of this war, which led to two consequences. He lost Xuzhou and formed a mortal hatred with Yuan Shu. Now, Yuan Shu tried every means to provoke the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, intending to kill Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei lost Xuzhou City, Cao Cao did not make any profit, it does not mean that he did not intend to make profits.

Perhaps Cao Cao thought that Lu Bu was stationed in Xiaopei and Liu Bei defended Xuzhou City. If this striking force was not broken, his plan to plot against Xuzhou would be difficult.

However, Liu Bei was unexpectedly able to endure Lu Bu's sneak attack and moved his host and guest.

According to normal people's ideas, after Lu Bu succeeded in a sneak attack behind the scenes, Liu Bei and Lu Bu would definitely remain unstoppable. As long as the two fight, Cao Cao would have the chance to take Xuzhou. Unfortunately, Liu Bei is an extraordinary person and acts unexpectedly.

After Ju Shu a little, most of the proud flames in Yuan Shao's heart were extinguished.

Cao Cao encouraged him to hit Guo Jia, because he wanted to stab him in the back?

Yuan Shao is not stupid, he can be sure of this. Cao Cao had no strength to wade through the Northern Expedition of the Yellow River.

"Ju Su, tell me, what did Cao Aman think?"

Yuan Shao calmed down and looked at Ju Su calmly, waiting for the following text.

Ju Su did not look down on Cao Cao at all in his heart, and always believed that Cao Cao was a wise and powerful leader.

He thought of a strategy of holding the emperor to command the princes a long time ago, but the person who finally realized this strategy was not his lord, but Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao received the news that the emperor was in Luoyang, he rushed to welcome him. Cao Cao's decisive ability was definitely more than Yuan Shao.

And Cao Cao would never regard Yuan Shao as an ally.

In the days after the Kwantung Army attacked Dong, Yuan Shao from Bohai and Cao Cao from Dongjun did help each other, and Cao Cao even relied on Yuan Shao because Yuan Shao rose faster than Cao Cao and his political appeal was tens of millions of times stronger than Cao Cao.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was as bright as the moon, and it was difficult to compete for the brightness, but now? Cao Cao was already politically superior to Yuan Shao by the emperor. Even Yuan Shao's current official positions were granted to Yuan Shao by Cao Cao's fake emperor. Compared to the past, Cao Cao's prefect of Dongjun needed Yuan Shao to "accept the system" and recommend the appointment, Yuan Shao was already at a disadvantage in this regard.

At present, Cao Cao is only unable to compete with Yuan Shao in terms of military strength, but if Cao Cao is given time to develop, it is really hard to say who will win.

Cao Cao must not be underestimated

"Lord, Cao Aman's letter said that if the lord forces Guo Jia back to Yizhou, he will ask the emperor to move to Yecheng. Please don't take this condition to heart. You must understand that unless you impose Cao Cao into a state of no return, he will not give the emperor away."

Ju Su poured a basin of cold water first.

Yuan Shao is not the kind of master who doesn't show off the rabbit or eagle. As long as he feels it is profitable, he may put it into practice. As for whether he will get benefits in the end, he hopes to judge based on the results rather than guessing.

"Hmph, I knew he was not kind."

Yuan Shao thought about Cao Cao's character, and now he understood that Cao Cao's short-selling promises should not be trusted easily.

"If Cao Cao dares to break his promise, then the lord can launch an army to attack him."

Guo Tu had an arrogant attitude, and with Yuan Shao's strength at this time, even as a counselor, he could still be proud.

This sounds reasonable.

Ju Shu smiled, slightly sarcastic.

"For this matter, we think that the lord can force Guo Jia back to Yizhou. At that time, Cao Cao should take the emperor's reluctance to move to Yecheng. What should we do on the grounds that the emperor is unwilling to move to Yecheng? Are we qualified to call the emperor around? In this way, what reason does the lord have to start a war with Cao Cao? Even if we ignore the others and just raise troops to attack, how can the lord be sure that he will definitely defeat Cao Cao?"

"The lord has hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in his hand, and his troops are strong. It is easy to destroy Cao Cao. Ju Shu, do you dare to question the lord's strength?"

Guo Tu was cold-eyed and he heard Ju Su's ridicule, and his anger arose from his heart and could not hold back.

Yuan Shao was actually not happy either. He is now the most lord in the world. He holds 400,000 troops. If even Cao Cao can't defeat 100,000 troops, then why are you talking about sweeping the world and dominating the world?

"Guo Tu, listen to Ju Su's words first, don't interrupt him."

Guo Tu stepped back angrily, with a gloating smile on the corner of his mouth.

He had already heard that there was anger hidden in Yuan Shao's indifferent voice.

Obviously, Ju Su said something he shouldn't have said.

Ju Su also understood this and knew that he had angered Yuan Shao.

However, there are some things that he had to say as a strategist.

True words are unpleasant.
