"My dear, what did you say? Are we sending troops at this time?"
Looking at Xu You with a serious look on his face, Yuan Shang almost wondered if this guy hadn't woken up.
What are you doing? Previously, you told the lonely king to guard Yecheng and wait for the war between Qin and Chu to take advantage.
But now it’s only been a few days and you’ve changed your mind?
And is this soldier so easy to produce?
Who should we fight? Qin or Chu? Or should we fight both sides together?
Just kidding, even when Hebei was completely victorious, I dare not say that we would go to war with Qin and Chu at the same time, not to mention that the current Qi State is already so weak that everyone can be bullied?
"Your Majesty, yes, we should send troops!"
Since I, Xu You, have decided to change my family, I naturally have to bring some gifts to the new owner, right?
And the best gift right now is to cause some trouble for the Qin army.
As for the way to cause trouble? Of course, it is to let Yuan Shang provoke Lu Bu.
Naturally, Yuan Shang had no idea of Xu You's thoughts, otherwise...
"My dear, didn't you say before that we would sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers? I'm afraid that the two countries have just started fighting, and they are only in the testing stage, right? Should we send troops now? Who to fight? How to fight?"
Obviously, Yuan Shang is not a puppet manipulated by Xu You, and his basic IQ is still online.
"Your Majesty! This moment and that moment!
Now, the two kingdoms of Qin and Chu are facing each other in the Guangzong area near Julu.
This is our opportunity!
If our army sends troops to attack Huguan at this time, Lu Bu of Qin will definitely not take precautions.
As long as our army successfully recaptures Huguan, then Bingzhou will be in my hands.
After that, our country gathered a large number of troops on Huguan. I thought that Lu Bu, who was not good at attacking cities, would not take the risk of being attacked by Chu from behind to retake Huguan.
Then, with no way to retreat, Lu Bu's only option is to fight head-on with Chu."
Since he decided to trick Yuan Shang into sending troops, Xu You naturally had some words to answer his questions.
Just kidding, Xu You and I can be regarded as one of the most resourceful people in the world. Isn’t it easy to fool you, a young kid like me?
As for why Xu You did this? That's too simple.
Now that he has decided to serve the Chu State, Xu You will naturally do his part for his new master in this battle for hegemony in Hebei, so that his power will be even greater in the future, right?
As long as the Hebei Army succeeds in cutting off Lu Bu's food route, Qin's defeat will not be far away.
As Xu You said, Huguan Tian is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. As long as it is successfully occupied by the Hebei Army, Lu Bu will never be able to fight back in a short time.
When the time comes and the Chu army puts pressure on him, Lu Bu may have no choice but to fight against the Chu army.
Looking back at the Chu army, as long as Chu King Xiang Ji was not stupid, he would definitely choose to avoid the battle and then drag the Qin army to death.
Yes, it's just dragging it to death.
You have no way to retreat, and the Qin State is far away in Hebei without logistics. How long can you hold on?
As long as their food and fodder are exhausted, the so-called 100,000 Xiliang army will be defeated.
By then, the Chu army, which has not lost its strength, will surely sweep across the entire land of Hebei like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and then become the overlord of the north.
By then, I, Xu You, will become a hero of the Chu State and a popular figure in front of the King of Chu!
As for the Hebei Army occupying Bingzhou, will it be difficult for the Chu Army to conquer it?
Just kidding, I, Xu You, am also the Prime Minister of Qi after all. Isn’t there any way to do this? Just arrange some cronies to guard the pass. When the Chu army arrives, can we solve the Hebei army by cooperating with the inside and outside?
Even if the above are all assumptions, in the end the Hebei Army was still unable to conquer Huguan, so Xu You didn't panic.
If your army goes out of the city to cut off Lu Bu's retreat, it's fine if you can capture the dangerous pass. But if you can't capture it in a short time, how can Lu Bu not return to attack you?
If this is the case, wouldn't it also create opportunities for Chu State?
"Hahaha! Okay! My dear, you are indeed the humerus of the lonely king! This plan is clever, this plan is clever! I'm afraid if this happens, our country will be able to take back Bingzhou without any pressure!"
As expected, Yuan Shang became excited when he heard Xu You's plan.
This Xu You is really a god! He can think of all these strategies.
I'm afraid that if our Hebei army takes over Huguan, then Lu Bu can only stare blankly, right?
Hum hum, when the time comes, I, the lonely king, will let the Hebei army retake the entire territory of Bingzhou.
Then I, the lonely king, will be able to take the initiative.
You know, after occupying Huguan, Yuan Shang can completely advance, attack, retreat and defend.
As long as he firmly defends the pass, Lu Bu will definitely not be able to conquer it in a short time.
When the time comes, Lu Bu, who is desperate, will inevitably fight with the Chu State for living space.
This is the real "mountain" to watch tigers fight!
With this plan, I, the lonely king, will really have time to develop again.
As long as I drag him with me for a year and a half, when the training of my new army is completed, who is Lu Bu of Qin? What is the national title of Chu? They will all be given to me and I will die!
Obviously, Yuan Shang himself also knows what he needs urgently now.
That's right, it's time.
Although the money and food in Hebei are not sufficient, after all, Xu You was very generous, but the money and food in Yecheng can still support his two to three hundred thousand troops without any effort.
As long as there is enough time to retrain these two to three hundred thousand troops into combatable soldiers, then Yuan Shang really has nothing to fear.
After all, you Qin and Chu families are the ones who have to fight hard first, right?
No matter who loses or wins, I'm afraid they will lose their troops, right?
And after you have finished your desperate efforts, my army can go into battle.
When the time comes, let alone drive away these two invaders, or even directly attack their country, there is still hope!
"Come here! Pass the message to Zhang Nan and Gao Gan, the two generals. I, the Solitary King, will lead the expedition in person this time!"
Yuan Shang, who was excited, could no longer sit still.
You know, ever since he inherited his father Yuan Shao's inheritance, he has been frustrated day by day.
First, the two elder brothers left the Qi State to stand on their own, and then they were attacked by Xiang Ji of the Chu State.
After repeated battles, Yuan Shang was completely beaten by Xiang Ji and lost his temper.
I originally planned to send a large army to guard Ningjin and just be the lord of the city defender.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu also came to take advantage.
His second brother's Bingzhou was lost, and then Ningjin collapsed, and the 400,000-strong army was wiped out.
At this time, Yuan Shang was completely in despair.
Now, after Xu You's planning, Yuan Shang has once again seen the light of day and the hope of conquering Hebei. How can he not be excited?
But Yuan Shang didn't know the meaning behind the sneer on Xu You's lips.
Idiot, just go be cannon fodder and attract firepower.
