After everyone left, the same five people gathered together, and then Dian Wei appeared and took them to meet Yuan Shu.
"His Majesty."
The five people once again saluted Yuan Shu with clasped fists.
"Okay, don't be formal, we are discussing the issue of the Kushan Empire."
Yuan Shu waved his hands directly to the five people, telling them not to be so reserved.
"Lord, what do you think?"
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Actually, I meant to fight, but Cao Mengde's words gave me a sense of crisis."
Yuan Shu directly expressed his thoughts. Originally, he also wanted to start a fight, but now that Cao Cao also proposed a fight, he had a different idea.
"Your Majesty means that Cao Cao may have other ideas. Going to war with the Kushan Empire now may cause instability in China, and then he will have a chance?"
Guo Jia glanced at Yuan Shu and spoke directly, deducing Yuan Shu's so-called crisis.
"Well, I'm really afraid that this will happen. Can sending troops now really deter the enemy?
If they cannot be deterred and they start a serious war, we will inevitably fall into a two-front war, which may cause China's economy to collapse. If it falls into turmoil again, those conspirators may start to stir up trouble.
.”
Yuan Shu nodded. He might have been a little distracted before. Although China has been unified now, it is not all smooth sailing in the country now. There are still many people and aristocratic families hiding.
If there is any big problem here, and these people come out, China may have a very difficult time.
"Your Majesty, don't you think this is just an opportunity?"
When Jushou heard Yuan Shu's words, he smiled slightly and asked a question that made several people stunned.
"Um?
Do you want to use this incident of the Kushan Empire to go fishing?"
Yuan Shu also thought of Ju Shuo's intention. He wanted to fish for the ambitious people in the Chinese kingdom. If he really fell into a two-front war with the Kushan Empire and Xianbei, those ambitious people would probably see the opportunity and jump.
Come out and make waves.
"Well, that's what I mean."
Jushou nodded and agreed with Yuan Shu's words.
"This is a bit too risky."
Kuai Yue couldn't help but frowned when he heard the conversation between the two. There are still many hidden enemies in China, but they dare not take action due to the current situation. However, these people are always unstable factors. If they really fight against Kushan
If the empire goes to war, it will be difficult for them to come out.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of them jumping out, but I'm afraid they will continue to hide. I just took this opportunity to serve them a pot."
Jushou smiled slightly, he was absolutely confident that he could kill all these snakes, insects, rats and ants as long as they dared to come out.
"What Zezhu said is true. This is an opportunity to give them a chance to make a huge difference, and also to eliminate those unstable factors."
Guo Jia also nodded. He admitted that Jushou's head was spinning so fast that he was able to see such an opportunity through this crisis.
"So you've decided to fight?"
Tian Feng glanced at a few people, and according to what they said, they were going to conquer the Kushan Empire.
"Well, let's fight."
Yuan Shu nodded. Since he had such an idea, he decided to start a war.
"We can fight, but the situation cannot expand. Otherwise, once the fight becomes really fierce, we will be dragged into the quagmire, and it may be self-defeating."
Although it has been decided to start a war, the war situation must be carefully controlled, otherwise it will really be self-defeating if the two countries go to war.
"Well, the battle situation cannot be expanded, but the results can be expanded."
Although they have decided to fight, the war situation cannot be too big, but the result is in their hands, and they can instigate it to a bigger point.
"You can have this. Promote it to a large extent, give them an illusion, and then wait for them to pop out."
Hearing Jushou's arrangement, he was also stunned. This guy now knows that he is bad at sending information. These people are really smart.
"I understand, leave these to me, I will create a tense situation, and the Ministry of War can do it."
Guo Jiachong nodded to the others, indicating that he understood what to do.
"Well, then let's prepare for each other's actions. The Kushan Empire is determined, and so are the rebellious officials and traitors in the country."
Now that everything has been discussed, Yuan Shu has nothing more to say, so let's do it.
"promise."
Several people left together, and then each prepared to build momentum for the upcoming battle of the Kushan Empire.
"Lord, why did you make such a suggestion today?"
When Cao Cao returned to his mansion, Xi Zhicai asked him directly, wondering why he said this in the court.
"What do you think?"
Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai and asked him directly.
"Now China is in the Northern Expedition to Xianbei. If they really go to war with the Kushan Empire at this time, even if the Kushan Empire can't figure out the situation in China now, the seeds have been planted. Later, they will definitely not be able to swallow this breath and send troops to China.
,
Do you want China to fall into a two-front war? If there is a problem domestically, we will have a chance?"
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, thought for a while, and gave his own explanation.
"Haha, do you think I can't see the current situation clearly?"
After hearing Xi Zhicai's answer, Cao Cao smiled slightly.
"Um?
So what exactly do you think?"
Xiahou Dun glanced at the two of them and felt puzzled. What Xi Zhicai said made sense, so what exactly did Cao Cao think?
"Yuan Rang, do you know how many people are hiding in the dark in China now?"
Cao Cao did not answer Xiahou Dun's words, but asked him a rhetorical question again.
"I don't know this, but it must be a lot."
Facing Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun was also stunned. How could he know how many people were hiding in the dark? Isn't this embarrassing for himself?
"It is precisely because there are many that I proposed that Yuan Shu send troops to start a war with the Kushan Empire. Once China falls into a two-front war, there will inevitably be turmoil in the country. Those ambitious people who hide in hiding will definitely be unable to bear the loneliness.
jump out."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked directly at Xi Zhicai.
"My lord, what I mean is that Yuan Shu will definitely see this opportunity to fight with the Kushan Empire to lure those ambitious people to appear, and then annihilate them with the force of thunder. In this way, China can be temporarily more stable, and since Yuan Shu has wiped out
If there are unstable factors in the country, we will also relax our vigilance, and it will be easier to engage in it in the future."
Xi Zhicai continued what Cao Cao had said. Cao Cao must have guessed what Yuan Shu and the others were thinking. He would take this opportunity to let Yuan Shu wipe out the remaining evil in the country. By then, he would be the only one left, and he would be better off.
"That's what I mean. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. In fact, even if I didn't say anything, Yuan Shu would still want to go to war with the Kushan Empire.
After all, Yuan Shu is now in the Li Kingdom. If this shows weakness, it will not only give the enemy an opportunity, but also make the people of China lose confidence. With Yuan Shu's character, this is absolutely not allowed."
Cao Cao nodded, Xi Zhicai was right, that's what he meant.
"Well, Yuan Shu is known to the world for his staunchness. He will definitely not compromise with the Kushan Empire."
Xi Zhicai agreed very much with Cao Cao's words. To be honest, Yuan Shu's character was not a perfect emperor. Sometimes he should give in, but Yuan Shu was basically tough to the end, just like during the Unification War.
"Then let's wait and see what happens. I believe there will be a result from the meeting tomorrow. Remember, no matter what news you hear during this period, you must tell those who are hiding not to act rashly. Do you understand?"
Cao Cao nodded, and at the same time told his hidden forces below not to act rashly, otherwise they would be killed by Yuan Shu, and everything would be over.
"promise."
The court meeting was held the next day, and it was still the issue of the Kushan people. The court was once again divided into two factions, but in the end Yuan Shu made the final decision and decided to send troops to the Kushan Empire to catch them by surprise.
As soon as Yuan Shu's decree came out, the whole of China was in an uproar. In their eyes, China was the center now, and the others were just barbarians. Now a Kushan Empire with no borders dared to invade China and beat them.
Yuan Shu's telegram was also sent to Jia Xu in Yizhou immediately. He hesitated for a while after reading the contents of the telegram.
"Commander, what's wrong?"
Taishi Ci looked at Jia Xu and asked directly what happened.
"His Majesty wants us to take advantage of the fact that the Kushan people are not ready to strike first and send troops."
