Cao Ren led the army with the help of Xun Yu, who was already waiting impatiently at the border. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Strategist, when are we going to go to war?"

Cao Ren looked back and forth at the map, smoking a cigarette.

"Don't worry, wait for the south to join us, and we will join the war group!"

Xun Yu naturally didn't want the war to start so early, because if the southern war could not be ended, if Yuan Shao of Jizhou gave up fighting against Liu Feng and turned to fight against them, it would be worth the loss.

.................

Yuan Shao took Xu You to Linyu to supervise the battle and listened to Zhang He's report.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, now that our department has defeated the defenders of Liaodong Bintu, and is marching under Changli City, Changli County will be able to take the whole line in less than three days!"

Zhang He won several battles, and naturally he was in a very happy mood and reported happily.

"Okay, continue to guard against arrogance and rashness! Keep on the offensive and see if you can destroy Liaodong by the end of the year! “

Yuan Shao said excitedly, as if Liaodong was about to belong to him.

"Oh, by the way, did the Australians and the system people reply?"

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Xu You and asked.

"Talking back, the system people promised to support up to 18,000 automatic rifles, because they still have enemies to deal with, and the Chinese Empire still has an unequal treaty with them, a treaty to supply 50,000 automatic rifles every year, and it will be difficult for them to withdraw to support us in the war!"

Xu You said, looking at Yuan Shao with a little worry.

"Excuse, I think they want to take advantage of our war with Liaodong and the Chinese Empire to see if there is a future for us! After all, we attacked Liaodong first, and then the Chinese Empire attacked us, so that they could see that the Chinese Empire was still stronger, and they wanted to see if we could hold it, and if we couldn't, there would be no more! “

Yuan Shao, as the prime minister of a country, was naturally well-informed, and knew the predicament faced by Carthage early on, on the one hand, there were Zhao Yun staring at them in West Africa, and on the other hand, the distance was difficult to support long-range combat missions.

"Yes, they are gambling, I know this, the Australians replied that they want to lease Liaodong as their base, and they love the dividend conditions of the large population in the land of China, so they have offered us three major benefits!"

Xu Yu said freely, which made Yuan Shao angry.

"What? How is it possible that they want to occupy my Liaodong region! No way! At most, lease one place in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, otherwise there is no need to talk about it! “

Yuan Shao firmly believes that there are people with land, and there are people with the concept of soldiers, and only with soldiers can they be strong, and no one only has weapons like system people, there are a lot of weapons, and there are not so many troops to support it.

"Hehe, Prime Minister, don't be in a hurry to deny it first, the conditions offered by the Australian system people are to equip us with 100,000 automatic rifles, 3,000 artillery pieces, and give us 100 destroyers for the formation of a navy, and another 500 freighters! Light machine guns, mortars and bazookas! “

Xu You's words surprised Yuan Shao! Almost unsteady on his feet.

"What do you say? The conditions are so generous! What are their conditions? Say it! ”

Yuan Shao asked Xu Yu eagerly, in this way, so many weapons can dominate the land of China, it is really crushing everyone.

"Help them take the Liaodong region! That's the condition! ”

Yuan Shao heard Xu Yu's words and fell into deep thought, this is impossible! But I can't put down my weapons.

"Is there such a possibility, that is, after we use them to take Liaodong, we will obtain weapons, and then drive them away!"

Yuan Shao asked, Xu Yu asked.

"It's possible, but it's ............"

Xu You sighed and said, wanting to stop talking.

"But what?"

"I'm afraid that the world will say that we are not righteous or treacherous!"

Yuan Shao felt like he was listening to a big joke when he heard Xu You's words, Yuan Shao himself felt that he had never told anyone any morality, how could there be any morality in this troubled world, if he didn't become a king, he would become a thief.

"Okay, promise them!"

"Then I'll go and talk back! Your Excellency, Prime Minister! ”

Yuan Shao looked at the red dots on the map, looked at Xu You and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Changshan County, Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Guangping County and Julu County are marked on red alert!

"The news I just got the day before yesterday, Cao Mengde seems to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the border area between our two countries, and there is an impulse to enter Jizhou, so I will let people standard the map! Waiting for the Prime Minister's decision! ”

When Xu You got the news, he was not sure, so he could only mark it and wait for Yuan Shao's decision.

"What, Cao Mengde, this thief, wants to take the opportunity to attack me? In the past few years, they had to unite with our alliance, but now this thief does not attack his enemy, the Chinese Empire, but comes to attack us! It's amazing! ”

Yuan Shao took a sip and rubbed his swollen temples, this thing was not easy to handle.

"There's no way, now that we're fighting on both sides, the east is stuck in the quagmire of Liaodong, and the south is being invaded by the Chinese Empire, so we can only send someone to stabilize Cao Mengde first!"

Xu You said with a sigh.

"Then send someone to negotiate with the state first to avoid the problem of fighting on three fronts! And what about Goguryeo? Are you willing to send troops to take Samhan and other places and the southern region of Goguryeo? ”

Yuan Shao remembered that there was another ally who had not sent troops.

"They were reluctant to go south to invade the Chinese Empire, because they were afraid, but they were happy to send troops to attack Liaodong! It is estimated that soon the king of Goguryeo Mountain will make a decision to go south to Liaodong and cooperate with us to take the entire Liaodong Republic! ”

"Okay, inform him as soon as possible, we must throw the hot potato to the Australian system people as soon as possible, and take a break to deal with the Chinese Empire and Cao Mengde, otherwise we will be stealing chickens and rice!"

Yuan Shao naturally knows that the commitment of the Australian system people is only a pie so far, and the moment when he doesn't eat it can't be regarded as a benefit!

Although Yuan Shao has solved a series of problems, even he himself is not clear about what the outcome will be when he faces him.

This big move will either soar with Australia and the Carthaginian system, or it will soar itself.

This is the best and worst outcome that Yuan Shao thought of.

If you take the Liaodong region, you will exchange it for the support of the Australian system and Carthage, so the next step will be to deal with the invasion of the Chinese Empire and defeat the Central Plains Dynasty.

If he can't take the Liaodong region, then what awaits him will be a two-way attack between the Chinese Empire and the Republic of Bingzhou, and he will die a miserable death!

"Go and give me the phone call between Tian Feng and Guo Tu, and ask how the battle is going!"

"My subordinates will do it!"

When Yuan Shao connected the phone call between Tian Feng and Guo Tu, the eastern front had already encountered a crisis and did not know it, and the western front seemed to be very peaceful.

"You all have to pay attention to strengthening your vigilance, and if you can delay as much as possible without going to war for the time being, wait for us to withdraw to help!"

Yuan Shao gave orders to Tian Feng and Guo Tu respectively. (To be continued.) )
