"Yuan Shao——!" When the moon was in the sky, in the quiet night, I could only hear the angry roar of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, from the depths of the palace.

Although Cao Cao has monopoly power, at least until now, he is still generally respectful to himself. Except for the last time Xu Tian was too arrogant in the hunt, most of the time there was nothing arrogant.

But you, Yuan Shao, are good, and you directly went to the table to ask for the public.

Hmph, today is the prince, will you be the king and the emperor in the future? Even if he is as tyrannical as Dong Zhuo, he is just a self-proclaimed master. How can he Yuan Shao and De, dare to invite himself to be Ye Gong?

Hebei famous family, a famous family of the fourth world and three princes!

Emperor Han bowed, and standing were Dong Cheng and Fu Wan. Facing the Han Emperor who was in a state of rage, the two could only carefully accompany each other and look at each other.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao, as the world's most prominent family, turned out to be such a wolf ambitious person, even more so than Cao Cao.

Originally, in order to free the Son of Heaven from Cao Cao's shackles, Dong Cheng once proposed to the Han Emperor to recruit Yuan Shao into Xuchang to balance Cao Cao. Now thinking back to his old thoughts, Dong Cheng is ashamed and can't wait to slap himself twice.

After all, letting Yuan Shao check and balance Cao Cao was based on Yuan Shao's loyalty to the Han family, and only in this way could the interests of the Han Emperor be guaranteed. If Yuan Shao's ambition is better than Cao Cao's, then it may be a disaster for him to appear in the court with Cao Cao. Don't you see the lessons of Li Dao and Guo Yan? What if the two of them staged a big battle in the capital again, the Son of Heaven couldn't stand that kind of toss.

Even if things don't come to this point, it won't do the Han Emperor any good to fight each other between two powerful ministers who don't have a king in their hearts. At that time, the Han Emperor could only be frightened every day, lest the struggle between the two sides would implicate himself, and his position would only become more embarrassing.

Hate only hates that his vision is too bad, and he completely sees the wrong person. Fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not adopt his suggestion after weighing it repeatedly, otherwise he would have lured the wolf into the room just like He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo.

"Yuan Shao is rude, how should I be?" After venting for a while, Liu Xie asked Dong Cheng and Fu Wan.

Although Yuan Shao asked himself to give him a public title, judging from the current situation, even if he did not get the edict in the end, Yuan Shao would still claim to be a public official. For Yuan Shao's audacity, Emperor Han was certainly extremely angry, but he was unhappy, and he had to come up with a way to deal with it. If Yuan Shao's actions were promised in this way and no measures were taken, who knows if he would be called king and emperor in the next day, and who knows if other princes would follow Yuan Shao's actions and become princes.

But Yuan Shao is in the land of the four northern states, and there are 200,000 elite soldiers under his command, and it is possible to get 300,000 if he doesn't get it, plus there are countless good generals around him, and it is not a simple matter to deal with such a super force.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Yuan Shao is the duke, and Cao Cao will definitely wave his army to defeat him." Uncle Dong Cheng heard the Son of Heaven ask, so he replied, "Although Cao Cao is invincible, he firmly holds the name of righteousness. Yuan Shao acted rebelliously, and if Cao Cao did not act, he would be unrighteous in the world. ”

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, Emperor Han frowned and said nothing. It's really sad to think about, in the end, the only thing I can rely on is Cao Cao. But can Cao Cao really compete with Yuan Shao, even if he occupies the Central Plains, Cao Cao can only mobilize just 100,000 troops, which is much worse than Yuan Shao.

Moreover, although the Han Emperor hoped that someone would be able to deal with Yuan Shao, he did not want to see a battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If the two sides are at war, whoever wins or loses will be quite detrimental to themselves. If Yuan Shao wins, then he may fall into the hands of the other party, and after Yuan Shao became the duke, his loyalty to the Han Dynasty has basically disappeared, and if he is controlled by Yuan Shao, then the situation he faces may be much worse than now. If Cao Cao wins, then Cao Cao's prestige will definitely rise to another peak, and his momentum will really be in full swing, and his position may become even worse at that time.

Regarding the concerns of Emperor Han, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan also understood. But the question is, apart from Cao Cao, who can they count on to deal with Yuan Shao now? Is the grandson of Liaodong?

————————————————————————————————

The Han Emperor was worried, and Cao Cao was naturally not happy.

What can't you Yuan Shao do, but you have to do this kind of transgression.

Yuan Shao is a duke, and he will declare war on him no matter what. In the case of blackmailing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes, but some people ignore the emperor's authority and commit great rebellion, if they do not levy it, then this act of blackmailing the Son of Heaven will really become meaningless.

But what happens after the declaration of war? Can you beat Yuan Shao, who is a soldier with a lot of food?

Cao Cao was so depressed that he only felt that his head was aching again.

Gather the civil and military ministers together to discuss how to deal with Yuan Shao.

Even wise men such as Xun Yu and Guo Jia feel very embarrassed at the moment.

From Cao Cao's position at this time, he must fight with Yuan Shao, and he must defeat the other party. Otherwise, Cao Cao, who has the Son of Heaven, will lose his reputation even if he does not become the laughing stock of the world.

But is it so simple to start a war, now the difference in strength between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is clear at a glance, everyone knows how difficult it is for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao.

Once the battle is engaged, if he does not win, the end will definitely be more miserable than Cao Cao avoiding and not fighting.

After the defeat, Yuan Shao's counterattack needless to mention, and other forces such as Sun Jian, Liu Biao, and Ma Teng were all eyeing around.

It can be said that Cao Cao avoided the war and only lost his reputation, but once he was defeated, he would lose everything.

To fight or not to fight, this is a question, and it is a very acute and difficult question.

Just when everyone was still thinking and meditating, they suddenly heard Gao Shun say loudly: "Today, Yuan Shao is doing a retrograde, and the Lord should do justice for heaven and do justice to the world, why are you hesitating?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't win." Faced with Gao Shun's question, Cao Cao did not hide it and replied bluntly.

"From the point of view of Yishun, the lord will win!" Unexpectedly, when Gao Shun heard this, he smiled and said lightly.

"Oh? What is Chang Gong's opinion? Cao Cao was also quite surprised by Gao Shun's confident demeanor and tone. You must know that Yuan Shao's momentum is far better than his own, and if the two sides really fight, their chances of winning can be three achievements. And Gao Shun actually said that he would win, what kind of strategy or idea did he have that could make him confident to this extent?

When Gao Shun heard Cao Cao's question, he first took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "In terms of Shun, Yuan Shao has ten defeats, and the lord has ten victories, so although he is strong, he is not afraid." Shao Fan, etiquette, public body is natural, this way is better than one. Shao to reverse, public obedience to lead the world, this righteousness is better than two. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the government was lost in the wide, Shao to be lenient and wide, so it was not taken, and the public correction was fierce and up and down to know the system, and this rule won three also. Shao outside the wide internal taboo, the use of people and doubts, the appointment of only relatives and children, easy to simplify outside the public and clear inside, no doubt about the use of people, only the appropriate, not far and near, this degree is better than four. Shao more and less decision, lost in the future, the public policy has to be done, the response is endless, this plan wins five also. Shao because of the wealth of the world, high discussion to give up to receive reputation, the good words of the scholar to decorate the outside of the return of the more, the public to the heart, sincere and sincere, not for the beauty of the vain, to thrift, and the meritorious people are not stingy, the loyalty of the scholar is far-sighted and the real people are willing to use, this virtue wins six also. Shao see people hungry and cold, the form of compassion in the color, what it does not see, worry or do not reach also, the so-called woman's benevolent ear, public in the current small things, sometimes suddenly, as for the big things, and the four seas, the grace of the addition, are beyond its hope, although not seen, the consideration of the week, all of them are not helpful, this benevolence wins seven also. Shao ministers fight for power, slander and confusion, the public is the way, infiltration is not good, this Ming wins eight also. Shao is unknowable, the public office is to enter the courtesy, not the right to the law, this article is better than nine. Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is a small number of people, the soldiers are like gods, the soldiers are afraid of it, the enemy is afraid of it, and this martial arts is better than ten. ”

After Gao Shun said such a large paragraph, everyone was shocked.

It took a long time for Cao Cao to recover from his shock. I saw his beard laugh and said: "As Qing said, I am worthy of it!" ”

Although Cao Cao said "I am worthy of virtue", everyone can see that Gao Shun's tirade made Cao Cao very useful, and also strengthened his determination to attack Yuan Shao.

At this time, Gao Shun muttered silently in his heart: "Fengxiao, I'm sorry, I copied your words as they were." But sooner or later, the lord and Yuan Shao will start fighting, and you will definitely say this to the lord at that time, so it doesn't matter if I say it in advance now, who told us to be so good to each other? ”
