The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Yanzhou, East County.

Yuan Shao is completely different from Cao Cao.

Jizhou narrowly escaped death in the First World War and suffered heavy losses in soldiers and personnel, and now they are even more dependent on others.

Not to mention other things, one of his sons died in battle, and Yuan Shao's white-haired man gave away his black-haired man. He was depressed and drank all day long to drown his sorrows.

Xu You: "Lord."

Yuan Tan: "Father."

Yuan Shao only glanced at them and continued drinking alone: ​​"What are you doing here?"

Xu You and Yuan Shao are not only emperors and ministers, but also friends for many years. He and Yuan Shao know each other very well, but now Yuan Shao has no fighting spirit. Yuan Shao's ministers used to fight among themselves, but at this time of life and death, they put aside their prejudices against each other and chose to cooperate. Everyone recommended their confidants Xu You and eldest son Yuan Tan to persuade Yuan Shao.

"My lord, I have important matters to discuss with my lord. I hope my lord..."

Yuan Shao: "Is it time to counterattack Jizhou?"

Xu You: "No..."

Yuan Shao: "Then what big thing are you telling me? What big thing is this? The big thing is to counterattack Jizhou, defeat Liu Han, and avenge my son!"

Xu You muttered: "Well... if done properly, it's not impossible."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao changed his usual depression and immediately ran to Xu You to salute, "Please also ask Ziyuan to teach me."

Xu You quickly returned the gift: "My lord, I can't do it, I can't do it."

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan: "Go and gather everyone to discuss matters."

Yuan Tan accepted the order, and when he left, he felt that Xu You was capable, and a few words had a miraculous effect.

  Not long after, everyone under Yuan Shao's command came to the hall, and Yuan Shao sat in the main seat: "Zi Yuan said that there is a way to retake Jizhou. Everyone listens and works together."

Xu You said: "Lord, everyone, in addition to the plan that everyone thought of before, someone has thought of another plan. Please think about it together, which one is more suitable."

Yuan Shao: "Oh? Two strategies? Please tell me in detail!"

Xu You looked at Guo Tu: "Let's ask Mr. Gongze to tell you the latest information first."

Guo Tu and Xu You temporarily put aside their past grievances and stood up and said: "My lord, we suffered heavy losses in the battle at Jizhou. When we retreated from Jizhou, there were only [-] people left. The King of Hejian did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but suddenly led his army westward and attacked Chang'an. , this shows that there is something wrong with Chang'an."

"According to the intelligence half a month ago, Li Jue and Guo Si have captured Chang'an, and Lu Bu escaped from Wuguan with his remaining troops. We all agree that the King of Hejian still wants to make a profit."

Yuan Shao was furious: "Liu Han, son! I won't kill you, and I swear I won't be a human being!"

I remember that when I and Gongsun Zan had a decisive battle at Jieqiao, Liu Han said, "The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins." "Both sides in Chang'an also suffered a loss?"

Guo Tu glanced at Feng Ji, and Feng Ji stood up: "Lord, this is the problem. According to intelligence, although Li Jue and Guo Si suffered heavy losses in their attack on Chang'an, they were far from the level of heavy losses. The crowd gathered for fifteen With thousands of people attacking Chang'an, and the city gates should be opened, the Xiliang rebels still have more than [-] people in their hands." With tens of thousands of people squatting in Chang'an, this is by no means the best time. Therefore, we believe that something big must have happened in Chang'an, forcing the King of Hejian to change his plan and mobilize heavy troops to go to Chang'an."

Yuan Shao listened to everyone's analysis and felt that it made sense: "What exactly happened?"

Xinpi: "Lord, there has been no news from Chang'an since the intelligence came half a month ago. Maybe the spies have..."

Judging from the available intelligence, Yuan Shao is certain that the situation is not as optimistic as Liu Han thought, and is even more difficult. "Liu Han's son is trapped in Chang'an. It is a good time for us to take Jizhou!"

Half a month was only enough for them to rest and recuperate in Dong County, and they couldn't even stand still.

Xu You: "My lord, now there are two paths for my lord to choose."

As long as it involves revenge for his son, Yuan Shao will not be depressed: "Zi Yuan will tell you in detail."

Xu You: "This first one is the method that everyone came up with together, and it is also the safest method. The lord can lead everyone and lead the army south to capture Yingchuan and Runan, using this as a foundation to nourish the spirit." Accumulating strength, if the lord wants revenge, he can march west to Nanyang, attack from Guangcheng Pass, capture the dead, and go straight to Jinyang; if the lord wants to defeat Liu Han more safely, he can lead his army south and capture Jingzhou and Jiangdong counties. , a decisive battle with Liu Han Xiaoer!"

Yuan Shao frowned after hearing this, not for anything else, but because the pie was a bit big. It was still possible to capture Yingchuan and Runan, but in the future...

Guo Tu: "Lord, after all, we are now... living under someone else's roof."

It’s hard to live under someone else’s roof!
  No matter what you do, you must leave others behind and tie your hands and feet.

Yuan Shao did not make a decision immediately: "Ziyuan, what is the second strategy?"

Xu You did not hide anything: "My lord, this second strategy is more risky. Now the King of Hejian is in Chang'an, and Jizhou has just been occupied. Before they can gain a foothold, join forces with Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, even Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and the ten princes among us will mobilize our troops and march northward, and it will not be a problem to capture Jizhou."

After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao felt that there was much to do and his eyes shone.

Xu You continued: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

"My lord, this is the most ideal situation. Not to mention how many people we can win over, whether we can accept the conditions they offer. Although King Hejian has left in Jizhou, there is still Xu Rong there, and there are at least [-] troops. .”

Xu You's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Yuan Shao's heart. He was indeed blindly optimistic just now.

Without involving their own interests, who is really willing to follow him and Liu Han into an all-out war?
  Obviously, the first plan is the safest. The King of Hejian will eat Jizhou and Sili at once, and it is impossible to start a war with him in a short time. He will go south first. If the King of Hejian goes south, even if he does not propose an alliance, he will someone suggested.

The second option does provide immediate revenge, but what happens after that? Not to mention whether he will have nothing in the future, as far as the Jizhou and Sili areas are concerned, can the King of Hejian defeat an army of no less than [-] people here?
  Yuan Shao: "Ziyuan is interested. At present, we are still dependent on others and have no control over our affairs. If we want to take revenge, we must improve our strength and at least restore our vitality. I decided to go south first and compete with that Yuan Gongluo for the family property!"

Everyone was overjoyed: "My lord is wise!"

The Jizhou faction has abandoned Yuan Shao, but the Yuzhou faction and the Nanyang faction have the largest number of Yuan Shao's subordinates, so it is most suitable to go south, and the most important thing is that Yuan Shu is acting recklessly in Yuzhou and is unpopular with the "people". They are eager for the "Ming" Lord to take them away. Yuan Shu controls, Yuan Shao is indeed the best candidate.

The fourth generation and the third male are also locals and are the best to talk to. The most important thing is that he and Liu Han are inseparable. (End of chapter)
