Chapter 178: Sun Bin's Suggestion
Yuan Shu was destroyed, and the world was cheering for the destruction of the puppet dynasty, and at the same time, another major event happened, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao formed an alliance to attack Yang Xu!
In the eyes of many people, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao's move is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and killing themselves, when they are lamenting that Yang Xu is going to become famous again in the world, the real wise man sees the fighter in it!
Xuchang, Prime Minister Cao Cao's mansion!
"Liu Biao and Liu Zhang actually formed an alliance to attack Yang Xu!" On the first seat, Cao Cao took the information in his hand and said to the next people!
After destroying Yuan Shu, most of Yuan Shu's subordinates surrendered, and now Cao Cao's subordinates are all together, and there are about ten generals alone, but they are all second-rate goods, and when they come to Cao Cao, there is no official position bonus for the large attributes, it seems relatively mediocre, and the real general Ji Ling, who was imprisoned by Cao Cao, swore not to surrender, Cao Cao's persuasion several times to no avail, and he had no choice but to continue to be imprisoned!
"Prime Minister, although Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are incompetent, they are not so short-sighted, knowing that Yang Xu is now threatening them, so they want to strike first, but unfortunately, I am afraid that these hundreds of thousands of troops crusading against Yang Xu are sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there is no return!" Cheng Yu came out and put forward his own opinions, and at the same time there was a sigh!
"Prime Minister, in my opinion, this is not the case, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao's subordinates are also resourceful, they will not fail to see the gap with Yang Xu at this time, but Liu Zhang and Liu Biao still sent troops, I am afraid that there is foreshadowing, ready to hit Yang Xu by surprise! As we all know, in the past few years, Yang Xu's power has developed rapidly, and he can defeat the enemy in every battle, so, Yang Xu and his subordinates are becoming more and more arrogant and empty-eyed, and Liu Biao and Liu Zhang may have grasped this point and are ready to take it by surprise and give Yang Xu a bloody lesson! After thinking for a while, Guo Jia also came out and said!
"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard what Guo Jiayi said, he became interested, and asked, "Fengxiao, in your opinion, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, what are their tricks?" ”
"Although Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are mediocre, they are not arrogant, they know that it is difficult to capture Yang Xu's city and place with their own strength alone, so it is very likely that they will have foreign aid!"
"Foreign aid, are you a guide?" Cao Cao asked again!
"This is just a guess, not necessarily accurate!" Guo Jia is also uncertain, Nanban is located in a remote area, and there is no information about Nanban here, so he can't say for sure, he can only rely on guessing!
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid there are more than Nanban now! We have already destroyed Yuan Shu, and now we will become a force that they will win over! Jiang Ya also came out and added!
"We?" The generals whispered!
"Yes, us!" Cao Cao stood up at this moment, and Zhengse repeated it, and there was affirmation in his words!
"Now that Yuan Shao's power is strong, we should not start a war with him! We can only endure until we become stronger step by step, strong enough to face Yuan Shao, that is the best time to start a war with Yuan Shao! ”
"However, when we are developing secretly, we can still expand around, but who is around us?"
"Liu Bei of Shouchun, Yang Xu of Chang'an, Yuan Shao of Yecheng!"
"Originally, Liu Bei of Shouchun was our best choice, but according to the detailed report, Liu Bei formed an alliance with Sun Ce as soon as he captured Shouchun, if we go to attack, it is very likely that we will be besieged by Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and even Xiang Xi of Huiji will be involved in it! In the eyes of Sun Ce and Xiang Xi, Jiangdong is their battlefield and cannot be allowed to be intervened by a third party, so Liu Bei cannot be attacked! ”
"And Yuan Shao, the north has been decided, and he is working hard, if he wants to go south, he can't touch his beard! Then the only direction can only be placed on Yang Xu in Chang'an! ”
"Then Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Xiahoudun couldn't help but ask!
"Wait, wait for Liu Biao and Liu Zhang's envoys, and at the same time, we will also send envoys to make peace with Yuan Shao!"
"Prime Minister, we should exclude the two envoys, and while seeking peace with Yuan Shao one way, invite him to send troops from Bingzhou to attack Chang'an, and the other envoy will go north to the grassland, strive to contact the alien races in the grassland, and create some trouble for Yuan Shao's rear!" Jiang Ya added!
"Good! You can say that again! Cao Cao praised, "I heard that Zhang Yan of Jinyang was forced into the mountains by Yuan Shao, he must be unwilling in his heart, we can secretly fund his grain, grass and weapons!" ”
"The prime minister is wise!"
Suddenly, there was a cry in the lobby!
Cao Cao's guess was right, five days later, Liu Biao's envoy rushed to Xuchang, and at the same time, Cao Cao also readily agreed to Liu Biao's request to send troops, but it was the reason that the war had just ended, and only sent 100,000 troops!
One hundred thousand, which has exceeded Liu Biao's expectations, so the messenger left satisfied!
Yecheng, Yuan Shao's mansion!
Since Yuan Shao occupied the entire Hebei and expanded his army to one million, he was full of spirit and prepared for the army to go south!
Just when Yuan Shaomo's soldiers were on horseback, Yang Xu's envoy arrived!
Yuan Shao was very happy to receive Yang Xu's envoy, because Yang Xuhu fought against Lu Bu in front of the prison, and later pursued Dong Zhuo alone, how unstoppable, and most importantly, he was even named a general by Dong Zhuo.
Later, he wanted to get rid of him, but he was disgraced by his big trouble in Yecheng!
So this time Yang Xu took the initiative to send a messenger, which made Yuan Shao feel a sense of accomplishment!
However, in the face of Su Qi's request for alliance, Yuan Shao has been prevaricating, every time Su Qi asks to meet, Yuan Shao is willing to meet, after listening to Su Qi's bunch of flattering words, when it is his turn to get down to business, Yuan Shao began to push back and hesitate!
After a few times, Su Qi understood that if he wanted to spend it like this, he was afraid that he might not be successful until the end of the year, so he found Sun Bin!
Sun Bin and Su Qi hit it off at first sight, and after a few times, they became friends who talked about everything, and at the same time, Su Qi also said his purpose!
Sun Bin has no objection to forming an alliance with Yang Xu, but Yuan Shao has been wavering!
And Sun Bin, who figured out Yuan Shao's temperament, gave two suggestions!
First, exaggerate the strength, because Yuan Shao has millions of soldiers, his eyes are empty, and he thinks that he can sweep the world by himself, so at this time, he needs to exaggerate Cao Cao's strength! In order to arouse Yuan Shao's attention!
Second, show weakness, the so-called show of weakness, not a show of weakness in strength, but a show of weakness in debate, Yuan Shao has a good face, since Su Qi entered Yecheng, whenever Yuan Shao hesitated, he proposed to debate with Tian Feng, and Su Qi won every time, but this made Yuan Shao lose face, so Sun Bin suggested that Su Qi and Tian Feng release water when they were debating, deliberately pretending to be dumbfounded, so that Yuan Shao might agree to the alliance!
