Chapter 658: Diverting trouble to the east
"First of all, as General Zhang Ji said, the fundamental reason why Yuan Shu would set his next target on us is the Han Emperor and Han Ting. And I am not sure whether Yuan Shu's goal of sending them out will change.
But we have a high chance of avoiding Yuan Shu's military front, so if we want to change Yuan Shu's goal, the place where the Han Emperor sends him is very important."
Jia Xu looked at everyone and started to analyze directly.
"Do you mean to give the Emperor of Han to Yuan Shu, but to give it to someone else?"
Li Jue was not a fool. He understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words.
"Yes, if you generals want to take refuge with Yuan Shu, using Han Emperor and Yongzhou as bargaining chips will naturally help you gain a good future.
But if you still want to defend Yongzhou, then the Han Emperor must not give it to Yuan Shu, because after he gets the Han Emperor, no one can guess who his next target will be.
So we have to send the Han Emperor to a prince who may pose a threat to Yuan Shu. In this case, Yuan Shu will most likely change his target and capture the Han Emperor first, and then attack Yongzhou."
Jia Xu's analysis was quite thorough. Now Yuan Shu's eyes are probably looking at the Han Emperor. After he takes Liangzhou, he will definitely beat the Han Emperor and snatch him away if the Han Emperor is in his hands.
If he gives the Emperor of Han to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's rise to the top will be inevitable. The entire Han Dynasty may be his target, and it will be difficult for Yongzhou to survive.
"Then who do you think the Emperor of Han should be given to so that Yuan Shu can change his goal?"
Now that Jia Xu said this, Li Jue knew that he already had a suitable candidate.
"Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yuzhou are all suitable places."
Jia Xu thought for a moment and did not mention the name, but directly named the three states. The topic now changed from sending troops to rescue Liangzhou to sending troops to the Han Emperor to ensure safety. It can be seen that several people are still very afraid of Yuan Shu's strength.
,
After all, their old boss Dong Zhuo was defeated by Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu also escaped from death several times. To say that they are not afraid is to brag. Now that there is a way to avoid fighting Yuan Shu, how can they let it go?
"Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He once sent us a lot of gold, silver, silk, and supplies of food and grass. If we send the Han Emperor there, he must be happy to accept it."
Guo Bang glanced at Li Jue, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, Liu Biao was the most respected among the princes. If he sent the Han Emperor there, it would be a favor to Liu Biao.
"No, it is precisely because Liu Jingsheng is a member of the Han clan that we cannot send the Han Emperor there. He respects us, just for show. If we really send the Han Emperor there, there is no way he will immediately send his troops north to attack us.
, help the Han Emperor avenge his hatred."
Li Jue shook his head and directly rejected Liu Biaozheng's option.
"Then give the Han Emperor to Yuan Shao?
Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are from the same family, they have different concubines, and they are in conflict. Some time ago, they joined forces with Liu Jingsheng to attack Yanzhou, but were defeated by Yuan Shu. If the Han Emperor fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, he would definitely not be able to do so due to his character.
If we let Yuan Shu go, we might start a fight soon."
Zhang Ji thought for a moment and brought up the idea that Yuan Shao, a descendant of the Yuan clan, was not in good terms with Yuan Shu despite being a member of the Yuan clan. It would be great if he could provoke a fight between the two.
"Yuan Shao is indeed a person, but after all, he and Yuan Shu belong to the same family. If he really puts the Yuan family first and gives the Emperor of Han to Yuan Shu, then what we have done will be in vain and inappropriate."
Although Zhang Ji's words were good and his idea was perfect, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were one family after all. If the two brothers really united, then he would still be in vain.
"This won't work, that won't work either. Are you saying that you want to give the Emperor of Han to Cao Cao in Yangzhou?"
Hearing Li Jue reject Guo Si and Zhang Ji's proposals one after another, Fan Chou frowned and started shouting.
"It's not impossible for Cao Cao."
Li Jue looked at Fan Chou and then at Jia Xu, somewhat moved.
"Wen He, if you have anything to say, who should you give it to the Han Emperor to attract Yuan Shu's target?"
Cao Cao is not a simple person. It can be said that he really came from scratch. Such a person should never be underestimated. But whether it was feasible or not, Li Jue still left the decision to Jia Xu.
"Indeed, as General Fan Chou said, it is the best choice to send the Han Emperor to Yangzhou now, but not to Cao Cao, but to Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou."
Seeing four looks again, Jia Xu could only express his thoughts.
"How to solve it?"
When they heard that Jia Xu chose Chen Wen instead of Cao Cao, everyone was stunned. You must know that although he is the governor of Yangzhou, he is really not very strong. Is it appropriate to give the Han Emperor to him?
"First of all, among the princes in the Han Dynasty, the only one who really focuses on the Han Dynasty is the governor of Yangzhou. If the Han Emperor is sent over, Chen Wen will definitely accept it happily.
Secondly, Yangzhou is in chaos now. Cao Cao, Chen Wen and the newly joined Lu Bu will inevitably have a battle among them. If the Han Emperor moves eastward, Yangzhou will definitely become a world-famous existence, and everyone will turn their attention to it.
past,
Thirdly, if there is any prince in the world who Yuan Shu fears the most, it must be Cao Cao and Cao Mengde. Otherwise, at the beginning of the Battle of Yanxu, he would not fight the more difficult Cao Cao first and give up the relatively easy Liu Bei.
Moreover, Yanzhou fought fiercely. Yuan Shu would rather move his troops southward from Youzhou in the far north than use any of Xuzhou's soldiers. This was all because Yuan Shu was afraid of giving Cao Cao a chance to develop.
Therefore, Yuan Shu will never let Cao Cao get the Han Emperor. If the Han Emperor arrives in Yangzhou, his eyes will definitely turn away immediately, and Yongzhou will be relatively safe."
Jia Xu said everything he was thinking about in one breath. If the Han Emperor really went to Yangzhou, it would be like dropping a flare on the border of Yangzhou. As long as Yuan Shu didn't want Cao Cao to get the Han Emperor, he would definitely do it as soon as possible.
Turn your gaze away,
Yongzhou is just a barren land. Except for the Han Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the wealth in places like Jingzhou and Yangzhou is not attractive at all. If he had allowed himself, he would have taken Jingyang first and then Yongzhou.
This was the plan that Jia Xu came up with for himself and for Li Jue, Guo Si and others, to divert trouble to the east. He understood the principle that a fellow Taoist would not die but a poor Taoist would die.
"But if we really send the Emperor of Han out like this, I still feel a little guilty. If that kid Liu Xie gets into a fit and issues an edict to beg for treason, we will be in great danger."
At the end of the conversation, Guo Bang still expressed some doubts. After all, Emperor Han was being treated badly by them. What would he do if he went out to retaliate?
"It's easy to say that we can only send away the Han Emperor, but the Han court will still stay in Chang'an. In this way, although the Han Emperor is no longer in our hands, the central organization of the Han Dynasty is still in our hands."
