Only a few of the strategists and generals under the accounts of the princes of the world have joined the monarch with the grand ideal of supporting the world.

If the monarch to whom they are loyal only wants to rest on their laurels and hold on to their vested gains, then the strategists and generals seek to preserve the interests of the present.

If the monarch has the ambition to enter the world, the strategists and generals under his command will pursue the ultimate profit.

A strategist like Guo Tu, no one can say that he has bad intentions, if Yuan Shao is defeated, the wall falls down and everyone pushes him, as Yuan Shao's strategist, the end must be bleak and bleak, he naturally hopes that Yuan Shao will be as strong as possible.

Lay down Guanzhong, expand the territory, take Liangzhou and Sizhou into the bag, and then unite with Liu Biao to form a pincer attack on Cao Ying, and Yuan Shao can wait to dominate the world.

When the time comes, the marquis will worship the general, and the family will be prominent, which is all deserved.

It's just that the priorities are urgent, and the quick success is often not achieved.

Yuan Shao is about to unify Hebei, which can be described as swallowing the world and running through Changhong.

It doesn't matter if Guo Tu dreams in vain.

Every prince has such a counselor under his account.

It is undeniable that there must be some people under Guo Jia who think that after taking Guanzhong, it is okay to enter the Central Plains and sweep the world.

But the strategists who know Guo Jia will not run to give Guo Jia advice, they are asking for hardship.

But Yuan Shao likes to listen to people praising and complimenting, and he needs some praise to show off his life.

But it is necessary to distinguish the occasion and distinguish the severity.

If you are blinded by victory, you will only mislead yourself and others.

At this moment, in Yuan Shao's heart, the idea of attacking Guanzhong has taken root, and what he is worried about is that he is worried that Cao Ying will get in the way, or that Cao Ying instigated him to have bad intentions.

Yuan Shao even had a very vulgar idea:

In short, if you can't listen to what Cao Ying says, just do anything, whether it's nitpicking, or making trouble unreasonably, you have to add a little chaos to Cao Ying, so that Cao Ying can't be satisfied.

Fu Zhu is sincerely assisting Yuan Shao, and for Yuan Shao's hegemony, sometimes he will even do dangerous things like offending the lord.

"Lord, although Hangu Pass is in the southwest of Bingzhou, not far away, but if the lord wants to send troops to crusade against Guo Jia in Guanzhong, he has to mobilize a large army from Jizhou to travel thousands of miles. The lord has been at war with Gongsun Chan all these years, and the three armies are tired and tired. At this time, it is not a good opportunity to move troops. ”

It's not hard to understand what frustrated the professor said.

Gongsun Chan is hiding in Yijing, Youzhou, which is a long distance northeast of Jizhou, and Guanzhong is in the west of Jizhou, which is also not a short distance.

This journey from east to west is a chore for the soldiers who have been fighting for many years, not to mention the heavy burden of escorting grain and grass, which is even more miserable.

In Fu Zhi's view, if Yuan Shao wants to fight this battle, first of all, his own preparations are not sufficient, and he hastily dispatches troops, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"Although Guo Jia nominally occupies Guanzhong, his name is not right, but he is indeed the hero who exterminated Li Dao and Guo Yan, and is the hero who is the hero of the Son of Heaven and the world to kill the traitor! My lord, you went to crusade against Guo Jia, it was nothing more than Cao Ying using the name of the Son of Heaven, are you willing to be instructed by Cao Ying? ”

To fight a war, there must be a name, although Cao Ying can use the name of the Son of Heaven to order Yuan Shao, and even use Guo Jia's occupation of Guanzhong for no reason to make Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops is a general trend.

But who else in the world believes in this kind of reason?

If this reason can be used as righteousness, is it not that Cao Ying used the name of the Son of Heaven to revoke Liu Biao's official position, and Liu Biao did not obey, then Cao Ying could attack Liu Biao?

Yuan Shao beat Guo Jia, who was unrighteous and nameless, and would even be spurned by others.

Frustration is based on the analysis of the essence of the situation, not only Yuan Shao, but everyone in the hall has fallen into contemplation, Guo Tu is no exception, although he is selfish, but he is not a person who is messing around and pestering for profit.

Seeing that Yuan Shao dissipated his anger and began to listen attentively, he breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Yuan Shao would move his army west under impulse.

"There are Xiongguan guards in the pass, although Guo Jia only has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the pass, but he can't be underestimated, as long as he defends to the death without fighting, he wants to conquer Hangu Pass, but he has to pay a great price. Guo Jia has the help of geographical advantages, plus he treats the people well, and the folk reputation is excellent. The lord, I hope that the lord will think twice, refuse Cao Ying's proposal, and don't send troops to attack Guanzhong. What the lord has to do now is to exterminate Gongsun Zhan, and then chase the Central Plains, after the lord will Cao Ying also defeat, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and the like, there is nothing to fear, even if Guo Jia becomes a strong prince in Guanxi, at that time, the lord will compete with Guo Jia again and decide where the world belongs! ”

His words were passionate, sonorous and powerful, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were staring at Yuan Shao.

Raising troops to attack Guanzhong, the idea of unifying Guanxi gradually extinguished in his heart, Yuan Shao's mind was able to understand the analysis of frustration, this head was the Tao, the rules were reasonable, and Yuan Shao couldn't even find a reason to refute it.

The hall was silent, but the judge of the instrument Sven suddenly said with a sad face: "Lord, I am worried, if the lord is sweeping the Central Plains, Guo Jia will unify Kansai in advance, then when the lord goes south, Guo Jia will take advantage of the fire to rob, or fall to Cao Ying's side, which is not good for the lord." ”

The grasp of the future situation can only be inferred by speculation.

When Yuan Shao heard this, his brain became confused.

In the current situation, Gongsun Zhan still has a breath, but Guo Jia has already won Guanzhong, as long as he gets past the early stage, Guo Jia will immediately become stronger.

And if he wants to wave his army south, how can he prepare for a year or two, during this time, if Guo Jia is at ease, he will definitely be able to have the strength to decide the situation in the Central Plains before he attacks the Central Plains.

The current Guo Jia can be said to be the second largest prince in the world under Yuan Shao.

"This, it's not fighting, it's not fighting. Alas......"

Yuan Shaoxin was angry, sad and angry.

He is also afraid that Guo Jia and Cao Ying will unite, such a situation is very delicate, if there is only a two-party game, then it is good to say, but since Guo Jia took Guanzhong, north of the Yangtze River, it is Guo Jia, Cao Ying, and Yuan Shao who are circling around.

Among the three families, Yuan Shao is the strongest, and it stands to reason that Cao Ying and Guo Jia should join forces to fight against Yuan Shao.

But Cao Ying and Yuan Shao were head-to-head, and Guo Jia was not able to advance eastward for the time being, so he could not pose a threat to Cao Ying, and at the same time, he could not conquer Yuan Shao.

Cao Ying couldn't resist Yuan Shao, and he was the weakest of the three, so he wanted to provoke a fight between Yuan Shao and Guo Jia.

The effect of this remark made Yuan Shao's idea of attacking Guo Jia revived.

Yuan Shao was afraid that this time he would reject Cao Ying, and next time, it would be Cao Ying and Guo Jia who formed an alliance to deal with him.

However, Yuan Shao kept an eye on it.

"I'm going to write a letter back to Cao Ah today. Hmph, he wanted me to fight Guo Jia, and I was watching the play on the sidelines, wishful thinking. Yan Liangwen is ugly, prepare for war! ”

Yuan Shao's decision was sudden, and he came to a conclusion without warning.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were stunned.

Didn't you just make it all clear?!

Why does the lord still have to prepare for war?

Alas...... Yuan Shao of Jizhou made a decision after a fierce debate during the deliberations.

Liu Biao, who is far away in the south, is relaxed.

Jingzhou was a refuge for the down-and-out scholars, and a large number of literati and scholars gathered in Xiangyang.

Since the withdrawal of Jingzhou, Liu Biao rejected Guo Jia, defeated Yuan Shu, killed Sun Jian, blocked Zhang Ji, and a series of defensive battles were extremely exciting.

People in the world can say that Liu Biao is a gentleman who keeps his success, but he cannot be criticized for having no ambition.

Because everything Liu Biao does is to abide by his duty.

He is a pastor of Jingzhou and honestly governs his territory.

Who in the world dares to say that he is wrong not to expand his territory?!

He appeased the rogues, cleared thousands of miles, and made the people satisfied.

Compared with those heroes who are constantly expanding their territories, Liu Biao is more at ease.

As for liking the wind and the moon in his spare time, and looking forward to the life of the wind and snow, there is nothing wrong with it.

In the eyes of scholars, Liu Biao is an elegant pursuit.

It is not unreasonable for them to respect Liu Biao, a literati who can fight wars is worthy of worship.

Liu Biaoben was writing words in the Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and this leisure was destroyed by a secret edict.

also convened the strategists to discuss, Liu Biao seemed a little helpless, but not nervous.

After reading the edict, most of the strategists were sneering.

Cao Ying's coercion of the Son of Heaven made the princes really unwelcome.

Really put yourself on the spot?!

"Cao Mengde issued this secret edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, saying that Guo Jia occupied Guanzhong without an edict, and ordered me to send troops to attack Chengdu to defeat Guo Jia. Guo Jia has merit in exterminating Li Dao and Guo Yan, and he can't be killed, you see, what excuse should I use to resign this secret edict? ”

Liu Biao is different from Yuan Shao, Liu Biao has no idea of dominating the world, he was nearly forty years old when he was promoted to Jingzhou Mu, and now he is more than halfway through, if he still has the dream of dominating the world in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is no wonder that there are many ignorant people who died in history like stars.

Cao Ying asked Liu Biao to also fight Guo Jia, but it was to attack Chengdu, this errand, Liu Biao definitely did not want to take it, now Jingzhou is peaceful, Yuan Shu's attention has also shifted to Xuzhou, he is finally able to sleep and eat peacefully, there is no need to have nothing to do.

Let no one offend, and let no one come to offend me.

Liu Biao is the kind of master who doesn't cause trouble, but is not afraid of it.

The strategists in the hall were a little excited.

They are conceited and talented, but now they can only help Liu Biao with some unpopular ideas.

They really couldn't be interested in such a trivial matter as how to excuse Cao Ying.

"Guo Jiabei entered Guanzhong, the soldiers and horses in the east of Yizhou did not move at all, Zhou Tai was in Badong, Zhang Bai rode in Fuling, even if he traveled through these two counties, Zhang Yan was in Jiangyang, and Chengdu had Guo Jia's soldiers and horses left behind, Cao Mengde This is whimsical? Could it be that he deliberately made things difficult for the lord? ”

Yi shook his head and sighed.

Anyway, Yizhou still has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Biao also has 100,000, but can Liu Biao go out to fight Yizhou?

Even if Liu Biao wants to fight, he may not be able to fight.

finally lived a peaceful life, Liu Biao didn't want his reputation to be ruined.

Taking the initiative to attack Guo Jia is equivalent to making enemies at home, not to mention that he can't win, and it's thankless.
