Chapter 36 Wonderful

Only few of the counselors and generals under the tent of the princes in the world compete with the monarch with the grand ideal of supporting the world.

If the monarch they are loyal to is just to be self-confidence and to protect the vested achievements, then the counselors and generals are pursuing preservation of current interests.

If the monarch has ambition to advance the world, his advisers and generals will pursue extreme interests.

No one can say that he has bad intentions. If Yuan Shao is defeated and everyone pushes him, as Yuan Shao's strategist, his fate will be bleak and miserable. He naturally hopes that Yuan Shao's stronger, the better.

Conquer Guanzhong, expand territory, and take Liangzhou and Sizhou into his pocket. Then join forces with Liu Biao to form a joint attack on Cao Cao. Yuan Shao’s unification of the world is just around the corner.

At that time, it is natural to be granted a title of marquis and generals, and the family is prominent.

However, things are prioritized and urgent. If you are eager for quick success and instant benefits, you will often fail to achieve haste.

Yuan Shao is about to unify Hebei, which can be said to be a powerful force to swallow the world and will be filled with energy.

It doesn't matter if Guo Tu daydreaming.

Any prince has such a counselor under his tent.

It is undeniable that some people under Guo Jia's command believe that after taking Guanzhong, they will be no problem to advance to the Central Plains and sweep the world.

However, those who know Guo Jia will not go and make a rash move for Guo Jia, that is asking for trouble.

But Yuan Shao likes to listen to people's praise and compliments. If you are proud of your life, you need some praise to show off your praise.

But we must distinguish the occasion and the importance of the matter.

If you are blinded by victory, you will only mislead yourself and others.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's mind was in his mind, the idea of ​​attacking Guanzhong had already taken root. His concern was that Cao Cao would interfere, or that Cao Cao had instigated him to have bad intentions.

Yuan Shao even had a very vulgar idea:

In short, you can't do whatever you listen to Cao Cao's words. Whether it's nitpicking or making unreasonable trouble, you have to add some chaos to Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can't satisfy his wishes.

Ju Su sincerely assisted Yuan Shao. For Yuan Shao's hegemony, he sometimes even did dangerous things like offending his lord.

"Lord, although Hangu Pass is located in the southwest of Bingzhou and is not far away, if the lord wants to send troops to attack Guo Jia in Guanzhong, he will mobilize a large army from Jizhou to travel thousands of miles. The carriages and horses are exhausted and transported food and grass are all heavy burdens. The lord has been fighting with Gongsun Zan for many years, and the three armies are exhausted and hard-working. At this time, it is not a good opportunity to move troops."

Ju Shu's words are not difficult to understand.

Gongsun Zan hid in Yijing in Youzhou, which is far northeast of Jizhou, and Guanzhong is not short distance from the west of Jizhou.

This journey of going east and west is a chore for the soldiers who have fought for years, not to mention having to carry food, grass and supplies, which is even more miserable.

In Ju Su's opinion, if Yuan Shao wants to fight this battle, he will not be fully prepared and hastily sent troops, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Although Guo Jia is not justified in name, his reputation as a hero who wiped out Li Jue and Guo Si. He is the hero who killed the emperor and eliminated the rebels in the world. When you attack Guo Jia, it is nothing more than Cao Cao's name. Are you willing to be ordered by Cao Cao?"

Wars must be in name. Although Cao Cao could order Yuan Shao in the name of the emperor, he even used the reason that Guo Jia occupied Guanzhong for no reason to make Yuan Shao send troops.

But who else in the world believes in this reason now?

If this reason could be used as a righteous act, would Cao Cao revoke Liu Biao's official position in the name of the emperor and Liu Biao refused to obey, then Cao Cao could attack Liu Biao?

Yuan Shao beat Guo Jia for no reason and even was despised.

Ju Su analyzed it based on the nature of the situation. Not only Yuan Shao, but everyone in the hall fell into deep thought, and Guo Tu was no exception. Although he was selfish, he was not a nonsense and profit-oriented person.

Seeing Yuan Shao disappearing his anger and listening attentively, Ju Su breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Yuan Shao would go west in impulse.

"There is a Xiongguan guard in Guanzhong. Although Guo Jia has less than 100,000 troops stationed in Guanzhong, he cannot be underestimated. He only needs to defend and not fight and conquer Hanguguan, but he has to pay a huge price. Guo Jia has the help of the local area, and he treats the people well and has a very good reputation among the people. If he attacks Guanzhong, the people in Guanzhong may form a united heart with Guo Jia, so this is a harmonious person. Lord, I hope that the lord will think twice, reject Cao Cao's proposal, and do not send troops to attack Guanzhong. What the lord needs to do now is to wipe out Gongsun Zan, and then compete for the Central Plains. After the lord defeats Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others are not afraid. Even if Guo Jia becomes a powerful prince in Guanxi, then the lord will compete with Guo Jia and decide the belonging of the world."

Ju Su's words were passionate, sonorous and powerful, with a solemn expression, and his eyes were staring at Yuan Shao with a burning look.

The idea of ​​launching troops to attack Guanzhong and unify Guanxi gradually faded in my heart. Yuan Shao's mind was able to understand Ju Su's analysis. This was very clear and reasonable. Yuan Shao could not even find a reason to refute.

The silent and gentle Shen Pei suddenly said with a sad face: "Lord, I'm worried. If Guo Jia unifies Guanxi in advance before the lord swept across the Central Plains, then when the lord goes south, Guo Jia takes advantage of the situation or turns to Cao Cao's side, it will be detrimental to the lord."

Everyone can only infer the future situation through guessing.

Yuan Shao's mind became confused when he heard this.

Gongsun Zan still had a tone when the situation was in front of him, but Guo Jia had already taken Guanzhong. As long as he recovered from the early stage, Guo Jia would immediately become stronger.

And if he wants to march south, he has to prepare for one or two years. If Guo Jia is at ease at this time, he will definitely have the strength to decide the situation in the Central Plains before he attacks the Central Plains.

Guo Jia can be said to be the second largest prince in the world under Yuan Shao.

"This is not a fight, nor is it not a fight. Alas..."

Yuan Shao was angry, worried and angry.

He was also afraid that Guo Jia and Cao Cao would unite. Such a situation would be very subtle. If there were only two parties to play, it would be okay. But since Guo Jia took Guanzhong, north of the Yangtze River, Guo Jia, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were dealing with each other.

Among the three families, Yuan Shao is the strongest. For common sense, Cao Cao and Guo Jia should have joined forces to fight against Yuan Shao.

However, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a head-on confrontation. Guo Jia was unable to advance east for the time being, so he could not pose a threat to Cao Cao, and at the same time he could not conquer Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao could not resist Yuan Shao, who was at the peak of his life, and he was the weakest among the three families, so he wanted to provoke a fight between Yuan Shao and Guo Jia.

The effect of Shen Pei's words made Yuan Shao's idea of ​​attacking Guo Jia rekindled.

Yuan Shao was afraid that he would reject Cao Cao this time, and the next time, Cao Cao and Guo Jia would form an alliance to deal with him.

However, Yuan Shao was careful.

"I will send a letter to Cao Aman today. Humph, he wants me to fight Guo Jia, and he is watching the show on the side, and he is delusional. Yan Liang and Wen are ugly, and he is preparing for war."

Yuan Shao's decision was very sudden and he came to a conclusion without any warning.

Tian Feng and Ju Su were stunned.

Didn’t you explain it clearly just now?

Why does the lord still have to prepare for war?

well……

Yuan Shao, Jizhou, made a decision after a fierce debate during the discussion.

Liu Biao, who was far away in the south, was relaxed.

Jingzhou is a refuge that the down-and-out geniuses yearn for happily, and a large number of literati and scholars gathered in Xiangyang.

Since taking Jingzhou, Liu Biao has rejected Guo Jia, defeated Yuan Shu, killed Sun Jian, and blocked Zhang Ji. A series of defensive battles have been extremely exciting.

People all over the world can say that Liu Biao is a successful monarch, but he cannot be criticized for his lack of ambition.

Because Liu Biao's actions are all abiding by his duties.

He is the governor of Jingzhou and is honest in governing the territory.

Who in the world dares to say that it is wrong for him not to expand his territory?

He recruited bandits and cleared them thousands of miles away, making the people convinced.

Liu Biao felt more at ease than those heroes who continued to expand their territory.

As for the life of love to sing the wind and play the moon in my spare time, there is nothing wrong with it.

In the eyes of scholars, Liu Biao is a pursuit of elegance.

It is not without reason that they admire Liu Biao. A literati who can fight is worthy of worship.

Xiangyang Prefecture Muslim

Liu Biao was writing lyrics and verses, but this leisure was destroyed by a secret edict.

When Liu Biao also summoned his advisers to discuss, he seemed a little helpless, but not nervous.

After reading the secret decree, most of the strategists were sneering.

Cao Cao was so rude that he was tyrannical to command the princes to take charge of the emperor.

Do you really treat yourself as the emperor?

"Cao Mengde issued this secret edict in the name of the emperor, saying that Guo Jia occupied Guanzhong before he received the edict, and ordered me to send troops to attack Chengdu and attack Guo Jia. Guo Jia made great contributions to the extermination of Li Jue and Guo Si, but he could not attack him. Look, what excuse should I use to refute this secret edict?"

Liu Biao was different from Yuan Shao. Liu Biao had no idea of ​​dominating the world. When he was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, he was nearly 40 years old, and now he is over 40 years old. If he still dreamed of unifying the world, it would be no wonder that there were many ignorant people in history who died of misfortune.

Cao Cao asked Liu Biao to attack Guo Jia, but he was just attacking Chengdu. Liu Biao would definitely not want to take on this job. Now Jingzhou is in peace, and Yuan Shu's attention has also shifted to Xuzhou. He finally could sleep and eat safely, and there was no need to make trouble for nothing.

No one can offend me, no one can offend me.

Liu Biao is the kind of person who doesn't cause trouble but is not afraid of trouble.

The counselors in the hall were a little overwhelmed.

They are arrogant and talented, but now they can only help Liu Biao come up with some inconsistent ideas.

They really couldn't be interested in how to refuse Cao Cao's little things.

"Guo Jiabei entered Guanzhong, and the soldiers and horses in the eastern part of Yizhou did not move at all. Zhou Tai was in Badong and Zhang Bai was in Fuling. Even if he had traveled through these two counties, Zhang Yan was in Jiangyang and Chengdu, there were soldiers and horses left by Guo Jia. Is Cao Mengde a whimsical idea? Could it be that he deliberately made things difficult for his lord?"

Yiji shook his head and sighed.

No matter what, Yizhou still has 100,000 troops, and Liu Biao also has 100,000, but can Liu Biao go out to attack Yizhou?

Even if Liu Biao wants to fight, he may not be able to fight.

After finally living a peaceful life, Liu Biao did not want his reputation to be ruined forever.

This initiative to attack Guo Jia is equivalent to making enemies at the door of his home, not to mention that he cannot win, and it is thankless to have no choice.
