Ma Teng is just a greedy wolf with paper stick, and he is not vulnerable to Cao Cao at all.

This was foreseen by the frustrated.

Therefore, time is of the essence for the advice to be given.

Yuan Shao actually understood this truth, so on the same day, Yuan Shao immediately sent his advisers and several important generals to discuss this matter together.

At the beginning of the meeting, in front of everyone, Fu Zhu repeated his proposal again.

While the others were still pondering, Xu You was the first to stand up arrogantly, not looking at the others present at all, and directly arched his hand to Yuan Shao, and said, "Lord, look at it!" A year ago, his subordinates had already expected that Cao Cao would inevitably free up his hand on the horse. Since Cao Cao dared to ignore the covenant, he sent troops west to conquer Ma Teng.

Therefore, Gonghe proposed that it was right to give up continuing to attack Gongsun Zan this year, and it was enough to have Liu He, Yan Rou and Xian Yu to assist them in containing Yi Jingcheng. However, his subordinates felt that Gong and Fang Cai were still too conservative in their suggestions to Cao Jun. Cao Cao marched west to conquer Ma Teng, and Yanzhou also faced the threat of Liu Bei's troops in Taishan County and Lu State, and the troops were bound to be insufficient. It is better for our army to take this opportunity and simply attack Yanzhou directly.

As for Lu Bu, Gonghe's proposal was a bit too much. His subordinates believed that even if the lord did not send an envoy to form an alliance with Lu Bu, he would definitely send troops to directly confront Cao's army in Hanoi County and Zuo Fengyi County as soon as he got the news of Cao's army's westward expedition.

Lord, you have to fight Cao Cao sooner or later, and it's better to fight early than late! ”

Xu You's suggestion is radical, but in fact, it is also a choice, or even a better choice. In this way, Yuan Shao could not only avoid the Hanoi county occupied by Zhang Yang, but also bring Yanzhou into his control in advance. Moreover, at this time, Cao's army had already caught fire with Ma Teng's side, and in the short term, Cao Cao simply could not draw enough troops and generals to defend Yanzhou.

What's more, Xu You's guess about Lu Bujun's next move is almost accurate.

However, Xu You ignored one thing - people's hearts.

To be specific, it is Yuan Shao's own glass heart.

As a descendant of the fourth and third dukes, as a prominent son of a family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao had an excellent face.

Cao Cao sent troops to the west to conquer Ma Teng this time, and all forces actually understood in their hearts that Cao Cao's move was indeed betraying the covenant between him and Ma Teng, but the people of the world may not think so.

On the one hand, Cao Cao held the puppet emperor Emperor Han Xian in his hands, and it was much easier to get an edict against Ma Teng from Emperor Han Xian than to eat and drink.

On the other hand, compared to Cao Cao's resume, Ma Teng is actually an out-and-out anti-thief and opportunist.

In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the Xiliang region, and Ma Teng took advantage of that time to join the ranks of the rebels, and gradually accumulated his own strength. It was not until later, in the third year of Chuping, that Ma Teng and Han Sui were crowned as generals of the expedition to the west by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty under the control of Li Yu and Guo Yan, which cleared their identities and became officials of the imperial court.

However, the people of Guanzhong and Liangzhou all know that these two people are both traitors, Cao Cao has a holy purpose, and it is natural to crusade against Ma Teng.

On the contrary, if Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Yanzhou at this time, the world would think that this time, it was Yuan Shao who took the initiative to break the alliance with Cao Cao.

As soon as he figured this out, Yuan Shao, who had a good face, shook his head and replied: "Ziyuan, although your suggestion is good, Gu now does not want to break the covenant with Meng De and bear a senseless infamy because of this. What's more, if Gongsun Chan is not eliminated for a day, there will be no peace in his lonely heart for a day. ”

"This ......" Xu Yu looked at Yuan Shao dumbfounded when he heard Yuan Shao actually give such an explanation, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

Break with Cao Cao, and then send troops to attack Yanzhou and seize the world, which the world can see. Even Yuan Shao himself knows this, but it is really unbelievable that Yuan Shao is now using such a clumsy excuse to reject Xu You's suggestion!

"My lord, since this is the case, the advice of the prince is appropriate." When Tian Feng heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, and the second stood up and replied: "Lord, haven't you thought that once Cao Cao defeated Ma Teng and took the land of Sanfu, he would move Emperor Han Xian back to Chang'an again. At that time, even if you eliminate Gongsun Zhan, but Cao Cao completely closes Hangu Pass and Wuguan at all, what can you do with Cao Cao?

Cao Cao is not Ma Teng, and he has enough ability to defend these two important passes. Just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, Guanzhong Sanfu is the land of Longxing, once Cao Cao has a firm foothold there, even if you lose Yanzhou and Yuzhou under your military peak, he can also rely on the dangerous terrain of Guanzhong to block you!

If you take Gonghe's suggestion and secretly send troops to help Zhang Yang capture Henan Yin, you can not only avoid the notoriety of betraying the alliance on our side, but also prevent Cao's army from taking Henan Yin. Time is pressing, please come up with suggestions as soon as possible. ”

Tian Feng has a straightforward temperament, and sometimes the words that come out of his mouth are meant to be good, but the words spoken by people who are too upright will offend people without him paying attention to them.

This time, there was no exception, Tian Feng actually compared Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to the situation of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao now, not to mention Yuan Shao, even Frustrated, who had always had a very good relationship with him, frowned.

In Yuan Shao's ears, Tian Feng actually made such a metaphor in front of him, not praising him, but cursing him.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang competed for hegemony in the world, and what kind of fate they ended up in the end, the world knows, perhaps, this is another reason why Yuan Shao has always refused to listen to the advice of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and took the initiative to send troops to invite Emperor Han Xian to Yecheng.

Yuan Shao was also afraid that he himself would be like Xiang Yu, because he killed the righteous emperor Chu Huaiwang Xiongxin and finally failed to seize the world.

"No! The suggestion of the lord, the prince and Yuan Hao, is very inappropriate! As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Guo Tu stood up and rushed forward to admonish: "Lord, you think, if you send an army to attack Cao's army. With that Zhu Ling here, no matter which general you send to lead the army, he will recognize him. How can this act of covering up his ears and stealing the bell be able to hide it from Cao A, and how can he hide it from the people of the world? ”

Guo Tu deliberately mentioned this Zhu Ling at this time, because among Cao Jun, this person was the person Yuan Shao hated the most.
