Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 47 I have three strategies to restore the Han Dynasty

Liu Xie never imagined that the heroic discussion between Cao Cao and Liu Bei over wine would actually happen between him and Guo Jia.

"Could it be that Guo Jia first told Boss Cao about this theory of heroes in the world, and then Boss Cao used it to test Liu Bei?"

Liu Xie guessed in his heart and felt that it was very possible.

How else to explain why both of them said exactly the same thing?
However, these are all unimportant matters. Liu Xie coughed lightly and said, "Well... Feng Xiao is right. I also think that in the world today, only Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde can be considered heroes."

"But now I am controlled by Yuan Shao. I think it is more important to think about how to use Yuan Shu's enthronement to further weaken Yuan Shao's power and get rid of his control."

"What do you think, Fengxiao?"

Liu Xie quickly shifted the topic to how to deal with Yuan Shao.

He was afraid that if he continued talking with Guo Jia, the Longzhong Plan might pop up later, which would be too awkward.

After listening to this, Guo Jia held up three fingers.

"I have come up with three strategies during this period of time: the best, the middle, and the worst. Which one would Your Majesty like to hear first?"

Looking at Guo Jia's smiling expression, Liu Xie felt a pain in his balls.

OK, OK, a classic multiple choice question.

Do all the strategists in the world like to play this game?

For example, you use a browser to log in to a pornographic website in the middle of the night, but the browser says that the webpage is dangerous and pops up to give you three options.

First, return to a secure URL.

Second, insist on visiting (strongly not recommended)
Third, deny access and purchase a secure Internet security provider.

If you were in bed with your bull about to explode, which one would you choose?
The answer is obvious.

So generally speaking, there are three strategies: the best strategy is what the superior cannot do, the worst strategy is what the superior does not want to do, and the middle strategy is what the superior wants to do and what the counselors actually recommend.

As for the other two, I just tell you that you have the right to choose. I have given you the strategy, and it is up to you to choose.

"Tell me everything."

Liu Xie said weakly and decided to listen first.

Guo Jia perked up and said, "Your Majesty, the best strategy is to leave Jizhou and go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao."

"Liu Biao is still loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he is cowardly and indecisive, so he can be easily conquered. In addition, Jingzhou is an important place with sufficient military supplies, which can serve as the cornerstone for your majesty to sweep across the world."

I knew it……

When Liu Xie heard this strategy, he rolled his eyes.

Could it be that he didn't know that joining Liu Biao was the best option?
But the prerequisite is that he has to be able to leave!

Not to mention whether he could go to Jizhou, it was even a question whether he could leave Yecheng. Yuan Shao's army was stationed outside the city, and he only had a pitiful thousand guards, not even a fraction of Yuan Shao's army!
"Let's talk about the middle strategy."

"A middle strategy?"

Guo Jia suppressed the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "The middle strategy is... to kill Yuan Shao."

???

Liu Xie almost jumped up in shock, looking at Guo Jia with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and couldn't help asking: "Are you sure this is not a bad idea?"

He wondered if Guo Jia had misunderstood the definition of Zhongce. "Your Majesty, please be patient and listen to my explanation."

Guo Jia comforted him, and then began to explain his strategy to Liu Xie in detail: "Your Majesty, you must know that if Yuan Shao does not die, you will not be able to escape from his control, let alone develop your own power."

"Only when Yuan Shao dies can you take advantage of the opportunity to replace him and take over Jizhou."

Liu Xie felt that Guo Jia was completely fooling him, and frowned, "Even if I kill Yuan Shao, what will happen? I still cannot take over Jizhou. Do you really think that Yuan Shao's troops and cronies are loyal to me?"

If killing Yuan Shao could make him the lord of Jizhou, Liu Xie would have done it long ago. It would not be a difficult task for him.

You have to know that he and Yuan Shao have many opportunities to meet. He can find the right time and use the dagger hidden in his sleeve to attack Yuan Shao directly.

But if he killed Yuan Shao, he would face the wrath of Yuan Shao's cronies.

With the status of the Son of Heaven, he would not die, but he would definitely be placed under house arrest and would never be able to contact the outside world again.

What is the point of this assassination?
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am not asking you to kill Yuan Shao, but only when Yuan Shao dies will you have a chance."

Guo Jia kept the secret for a while and said calmly, "Yuan Shao has three sons: the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang."

"The relationship between his three sons was like that between him and Yuan Shu. They were at odds with each other, and Yuan Shao's advisers and generals each supported one of them."

"If Yuan Shao dies, the three sons will surely start competing for the position of head of the family. At the same time, foreign enemies will also wait for an opportunity to attack. At that time, Jizhou will be in internal and external troubles, and Your Majesty will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"

Killing Yuan Shao is not the goal, the goal is to plunge Jizhou into civil strife!
Only when there is internal strife can there be a chance to gain benefits!
After listening to this, even though Liu Xie thought this plan was crazy, he had to admit that it was indeed very feasible!
The only problem was how to kill Yuan Shao without anyone noticing.

"..."

Liu Xie frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "What's the next best option?"

Guo Jia's expression relaxed, and he said, "The next plan is much simpler. I know that there are disagreements among Yuan Shao's advisers. I can make good use of this and make them attack each other. Then I can use Yuan Shao's stubborn character to alienate him from his advisers. Then I can deliberately create conflicts between other princes and Yuan Shao and provoke a war. Then Yuan Shao will be defeated, and Your Majesty can escape."

"The only problem is that this strategy will take several years or even longer, and it will take me some time to win Yuan Shao's trust."

Guo Jia spoke eloquently and with a confident look.

Liu Xie knew that he was not just talking on paper.

With Guo Jia's means and wisdom, as long as he is given enough time, he can do everything he said.

But in general, among the three strategies, the worst strategy is indeed the easiest to implement, but it takes a long time and Liu Xie cannot wait that long; the best strategy is the best choice, but it is basically impossible to do.

Only the middle strategy is feasible, has great benefits, and does not require a long time, and this is also the option most recommended by Guo Jia.

"If I choose the middle strategy, what are you going to do?"

Liu Xiejin asked further, he was indeed moved.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I have my own plan. It will take some time, but it will definitely be much shorter than the worst plan."

"Okay, just go ahead and do it. If you need any help from me, just let me know."

Liu Xie agreed without hesitation.

The two hit it off.

……

At this moment, Yuan Shao, who was being plotted against by Liu Xie and Guo Jia, also woke up quietly on the bed in Yuan's mansion.
