Beast King Three Kingdoms

() (Please collect, please recommend, if you support me, I will support you too!) <City, Yuan Shu couldn't help gloating when he received the news that Cao Cao was attacking Xuzhou.

Yuan Shu has always been brooding about Tao Qian's crime.

Although Yuan Shu not only suffered no loss in this battle, but gained huge benefits, but Tao Qian, a mere sheep, dared to touch his tiger's whiskers, what would people in the world think of him?

Yuan Shu was very unhappy, now that Tao Qian is suffering, he is naturally happy to see the success.

"Hey! Tao Yangyang, Tao Yangyang, the poisonous snake Cao Cao will definitely teach you how to behave." Yuan Shu covered his mouth and smiled sullenly.

Of course, what made Yuan Shu even more happy than Tao Qian's defeat was that most of the people on the Xu-Yan border were relocated to the south bank of the Huaihe River, so Cao Cao naturally had no way to slaughter the city.

Invisibly defusing a massacre and saving hundreds of thousands of people, Yuan Shu was very proud of himself.

"Brother Meng De! I helped you get rid of the title of butcher. You should thank me very much." Yuan Shu looked radiant, obviously getting carried away with complacency.

Yuan Shu was not worried about Cao Cao taking Xuzhou either. He knew that Lu Bu, a hungry wolf, was already waiting for an opportunity.

Moreover, Xuzhou has another insurance, that is Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei was trapped in a mere plain, and the corrupt situation in Hebei made him very eager to leave. Xuzhou was an excellent place to stay.

Xuzhou has a large population and sufficient money and food. If Tao Qian hadn't been incompetent, Xuzhou's strength would definitely be more than what it is today.

With the double insurance of Lv Bu and Liu Bei, Cao Cao wanted to capture Xuzhou, it was almost as difficult as reaching the sky, after all, he was not very strong at this time.

Yuan Shu didn't care about these things. Now that Tao Qian got the punishment he deserved, Yuan Shu didn't bother to pay attention to it, and turned his attention to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Speaking of which, Liu Biao was the mastermind of what happened last time. Tao Qian, the 'accomplice', has already been dealt with, causing him to bleed severely. Now it's Liu Biao's turn.

Thinking of Liu Biao, a trace of disdain flashed across Yuan Shu's face, and he said to himself, "I didn't realize that Liu Biao, a rabbit, would occasionally come out of the nest to get some air."

Of course, getting some air is not a big deal, and Yuan Shu didn't care, but Liu Biao, the rabbit, didn't eat grass obediently after it came out of the nest, but wanted to 'eat meat', which made Yuan Shu a little unacceptable.

Immediately, Yuan Shu summoned the civil servants under his command to discuss the matter of marching into Jingzhou, intending to teach Liu Biao a difficult lesson.

When everyone was present, Yuan Shu directly expressed his thoughts.

Knowing that Yuan Shu wanted to attack Jingzhou, Gu Yong was the first to stand up against it.

"My lord! Now that the reforms in various places have not been completed, and the interior is unstable, it is really inappropriate to send troops." Yuan Shu's expansion is too fast, and the continuous surge of territory has made Gu Yong, who is in charge of government affairs and logistics, feel pressure.

From Gu Yong's point of view, since Liu Biao and Tao Qian have withdrawn, the war is over. At this time, we should develop with peace of mind and stabilize the rear. Liu Biao and Tao Qian will have a chance to deal with them in the future, so there is no need to rush.

Yan Xiang also said: "My lord! The ultimate thing now is to promote the new official system, so that when it expands in the future, there will be no worries."

"I'm not trying to capture Jingzhou, but I just want to teach Liu Biao a lesson, so that he won't jump up and down and make another attack or something." Yuan Shu said what he wanted, but he didn't want everyone to object to it.

Feng Ji said: "You can take Jingzhou in one go in the future, why waste your military power at this time?"

Seeing everyone's opposition, Yuan Shu was displeased and turned to look at Zhang Hong.

Among them, Zhang Hong had the best view of the overall situation, and his attitude was enough to influence Yuan Shu's decision.

Seeing Yuan Shu's eyes, Zhang Hong pondered for a moment and said, "The rear is not yet stable, so it is indeed not suitable to march."

Yuan Shu fell silent after hearing this.

As the saying goes: Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge; but Yuan Shu is not a gentleman, he is at most a hypocrite, he wants revenge from morning to night, and he is not willing to delay for a moment.

After a long time, Yuan Shu looked up at Xun You and asked, "What's Gongda's opinion?"

Xun You's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said, "If my lord wants to march, it's okay. But..."

After hearing Xun You's previous words, everyone was full of surprise and doubt, especially Feng Ji, who didn't know what happened to his friend, would agree with Yuan Shu's marching at this time.

Fortunately, Xun You still has something to say.

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he didn't care about Xun You's next words, as long as he agreed to march, everything was negotiable.

"However? Gongda has something to say, don't procrastinate." Yuan Shu urged.

"Yes!" Xun You bowed, stood up and said, "My lord wants to send troops, of course, but the target has to be changed. Liu Biao is sitting in the south of the Yangtze River, with a vast land and people, and they are eager to go. If you don't mind taking Yuzhang Liu Yao first."

"Yuzhang?" Yuan Shu was taken aback. If Xun You hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten it.

As early as after the capture of Jiangdong, Yuan Shu was determined to enter Yuzhang, but unfortunately because of the Zhu family, the whole world condemned Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu couldn't get out, and then he dragged on.

After hearing Xun You's words, everyone was also thoughtful.

If Yuzhang can be taken down, Yuan Jun only needs to settle in Chaisang, and then he can directly take Jiangxia, the important town of Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Advancement in Yuzhang is indeed feasible, please think about it, my lord." Feng Ji expressed his support for his friend immediately.

Considering Yuan Shu's mood, Feng Ji continued: "After Liu Yao fled to Yuzhang, he formed an alliance with Liu Biao in order to fight against the lord. If the lord can destroy Liu Yao, Liu Biao's arm will be cut off, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu no longer resisted in his heart, and thought, "That's right! This can be regarded as revenge on Liu Biao, and by the way, solve Liu Yao's trouble."

Speaking of Liu Yao, he also had a lot of life. Ordinary people were killed by dozens of knives, but Liu Yao was lucky to survive. Except that his body was not as good as before, there was no other abnormality.

Now Liu Yao is separatist in Yuzhang, and has close contacts with Jiangxia Huangzu, so he has a strong desire to fight Yuan Shu.

"Hmph! Liu Biao, Liu Biao, after I finish all your allies, I will deal with you again?" Yuan Shu's eyes flashed coldly from time to time, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Suddenly, Yuan Shu was startled, and he frowned and thought, "What's going on? Why did my desire for revenge become so strong?"

Yuan Shu finally realized that something was wrong, and the successive battles and victories made Yuan Shu involuntarily feel proud, and even began to affect his judgment.

For example, this time to take revenge on Liu Biao, Yuan Shu also knew that it was not the best time to attack Liu Biao, but he insisted on sending troops just to vent his anger. Beforehand, Yuan Shu would never do such an unwise thing.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shu finally came to his senses.

"Just now I was laughing at Cao Cao, but I didn't expect to follow Cao Cao's old path." Yuan Shu thought with a wry smile.

After Cao Cao unified the north, he was satisfied with his ambitions, and he could not listen to good words, so that Chibi was defeated.

Yuan Shu's state at this time is very similar to Cao Cao after he unified the north.

"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down! Today, even the south has not been unified, let alone the world. Even if the world is unified, there are still foreigners to deal with. The world is so big, and what I want to create is an empire that will last forever. How proud are you at this time?" Yuan Shu kept admonishing himself, and quickly recovered his old mentality.

Seeing Yuan Shu's silence, everyone thought he was thinking about Xun You's plan, but they didn't take it to heart and waited quietly.

After a long time, Yuan Shu straightened his body, and suddenly released an aura, everyone was surprised.

A gleam flashed in Xun You's eyes, and he said to himself, "Have you recovered your mind?"

In fact, Xun You had already noticed what was wrong with Yuan Shu, but his temperament was relatively peaceful, so he didn't speak up to speak out. If it were Xun Yu, it might not be the case.

In history, Xun Yu offended Cao Cao and eventually ended up committing suicide. On the contrary, Xun You, although he had a lot of advice, could always grasp the bottom line, so he died well.

Just like Jia Xu, he knows how to protect himself, but Jia Xu is more thorough. Unless you ask him, he will never speak.

"I won't fight Yuzhang anymore! I won't fight this year, and it will be the same next year. I want to solve the internal problems thoroughly, and then consider external matters." Yuan Shu said solemnly.

Yuan Shu suddenly changed his mind, and everyone was puzzled.

However, such a choice is what everyone is happy to see, so naturally I won't say much.

"My lord is wise." Everyone said in unison.

At this time, the messenger broke in suddenly and reported loudly: "My lord! General Mao Jie has come to report that Zhang Kai, the rebel general of Xuzhou, has been captured in Yandu. Please tell me how to deal with it."

"Zhang Kai? Who is Zhang Kai?" Yuan Shu asked vaguely.
