Chapter 248: Marriage with Yuan Shao
Yuan Shao never wanted to see Su Chen sit big, but now this is no longer a question of whether he wants to or not, Su Chen quickly occupied the entire Qingzhou, which was completely beyond his expectations, and at the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu also carved up Xuzhou, which made him, the former number one prince in the world, a little unworthy of his name.

Now there are three roads in front of him, developing in three directions: west, south and east, the west is Gaoshun in Bingzhou, the south is Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and the east is Su Chen in Youzhou.
Yuan Shao convened the strategists to discuss, and Tian Fengjin admonished: "Lord, my subordinates think that we should develop to the east, Yanhou soldiers are strong and strong, at this time just captured Qingzhou, Youzhou must be empty, our army should take this opportunity to attack it unprepared, and seek the opportunity to take the initiative." ”
Tian Feng's opinion is very pertinent, indeed, Su Chen has just won Qingzhou, and the army left there is not only the most quintessential 30,000 Han Shadow Elite Cavalry, but also tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, with a total of no less than 100,000.
And now that the Beiwei army is also staying in Liaodong, and Yunying is in Bingzhou, it can be said that the real military strength of Zhuo County is only 100,000 tiger soldiers and wolf horses, first dead soldiers and tiger guards.
Yuan Shao has hundreds of thousands of troops in Jizhou, if he really looks for Su Chen for a decisive battle at this time, it will be very unfavorable for Su Chen, although he does not admit it, but now is indeed the weakest time for him.
As soon as Tian Feng said this, he also admonished: "The lord can ally with Cao Cao and let Cao Cao send troops to Qingzhou, so that Zhang Liao and Zhou Yu of Qingzhou will not be able to rush to the aid of Youzhou, and the army under the command of Yanhou will stay in Qingzhou and Liaodong, at this time, the military strength of Zhuo County is only 100,000, the lord, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, now is a good opportunity to capture Youzhou." ”
Tian Feng looked at the frustration gratefully, the two of them knew Yuan Shao's temper deeply, typical indecisiveness, the three of them became tigers, and frustration echoed Tian Feng's opinion, which made Yuan Shao also move a little thought.
However, some people disagreed, Xu You came out and said: "The lord can't, the lord is now the general of the imperial court, and he is powerful all over the world, and the lord and the marquis of Yan are righteous brothers, if the lord attacks Youzhou, wouldn't he be a nameless teacher, and he will be laughed at by the princes of the world in vain?" At that time, the princes of the world will no longer be afraid of the lord, but will only turn away from the lord, and the lord's original intention of coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes go to waste? ”
Will Xu Yu speak for Su Chen?
The answer is yes, as early as when he was in Luoyang, Su Chen was close to Xu You and gave him many gifts, Xu You was greedy for money, Su Chen asked Sun Binshuo to send a lot of gold and silver to Xu You from time to time, after Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, Su Chen realized that Yuan Shao began to be jealous of him, so he bribed Xu You more vigorously, the purpose was to let him say a few words for him at a critical time.
Xu You is Yuan Shao's henchman in the end, Tian Feng is just a new person, and the weight in Yuan Shao's heart is not so great, hearing Xu You say this, Yuan Shao can't make up his mind even more.
"You all speak your mind."
As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, Guo Tu also took the opportunity to say: "Lord, we might as well capture the state, and the state pastor Gao Shun is loyal to the Chang'an court, our army division is famous, the lord can let General Yan Liang send troops to Hanoi, General Gao Gan sent troops to Jingjingkou, the north and the south use troops, Gao Shun can not take care of the end, and besides, the previous Shang Gongzi defeated Gao Shun, Guan Yu even robbed Hanoi, we should find Gao Shun and Guan Yu to take revenge." ”
"Attacking and merging states?" Not to mention, Yuan Shao was very tempted by this proposal, he had thought about directly sending troops to Hanoi to attack Guan Yu, but after several temptations, he found that Guan Yu was not easy to deal with, and he was unwilling to entangle with Guan Yu at that time, so he acquiesced to the fact that Guan Yu occupied Hanoi.
Yuan Shao's command is really varied, as soon as Guo Tu finished speaking, Xun Kan suggested: "Lord, my subordinates think that our army should take advantage of Cao Mengde's instability in Xuzhou, directly take Yanzhou, and Luoyang into a piece, in this way, our army's strategic detour will be bigger, if the lord can occupy Yanzhou, there will be Jizhou Yanzhou Division of the three states, at that time, the army can be south or north, the lord Ding Ding Central Plains, when the world is in charge of the bull's ear." ”
"Lord ......"
Everyone was gossiping, but they said that Yuan Shao didn't know what to do, and a group of people chattered so much that he had a headache, so he could only disperse.
Yuan Shao hesitated for a while, but the news that he was ready to use troops against Youzhou was transmitted to Su Chen's ears by a bayonet, and Su Chen was not ready for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao now, so he summoned Hua Xin, Xun You, Guo Jia and the three of them and asked: "Everyone, Yuan Shao intends to use troops against my Youzhou, now half of my Youzhou army is in Liaodong, half is in Qingzhou, and the Tiger Ben Army is a newly established army, and its combat effectiveness is still insufficient compared to the Qingzhou soldiers. ”
As soon as Su Chen's words fell, Hua Xin said: "Lord, in the humble opinion of his subordinates, we should expand the army immediately, now there are three states under the command of the lord, but the number of troops is only 300,000, and Yuan Shao has raised 500,000 troops with one Jizhou, we will face Yuan Shao sooner or later, and we will suffer a big loss with our current strength." ”
"Well, Ziyu is reasonable, Ben Hou has always advocated that soldiers are not expensive, but even so, our army has now recovered Qingzhou Liaodong, and the number of troops is a little small, and your military aircraft department will come up with a charter later." Su Chen thought about it, and still mentioned: "What I mean, this expansion of the army, the number does not exceed 100,000, our army now has three military horse farms, there is no shortage of horses, I intend to expand the army by 100,000, form 50,000 light cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers, in this way, in Zhuo County, there will be 50,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, with this force, it is enough to fight with Yuan Shao." ”
"No!" Hua Xin remembered his words.
Guo Jia also took the opportunity to say: "Lord, since we don't want to fight with Yuan Shao, then we have to paralyze Yuan Shao and ask him not to pay attention to us." ”
"What is Bonghyo's opinion?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, the eldest prince is now of marriageable age, as the saying goes, if you start a family, the eldest prince should also go out, so the lord may wish to marry Yuan Shao, in this way, Yuan Shao and the lord have become sons and daughters, and they are naturally allies. ”
Not to mention, Guo Jia's idea coincides with him, in his mind, even if Yuan Shao is cleaned up in the future, it is not easy to successfully receive Yuan Shao's forces, marriage is the best way, and Yuan Shao's subordinates can also treat him as their own at that time.
Xun You also chimed in: "Lord, the plan of filial piety is feasible. ”
"Hmm!" Su Chen responded and said, "Since this is the case, leave this matter to Fengxiao." ”
"No!"
