Chapter 188 Yuan Shao's Choice

After Liu He and Qu Yi led the army to set off, Gao Gan immediately reported the news of Liu He's pacification of the Black Mountain Army to Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao was leading his army to fight against the Black Mountain Army in Heinei. During this period, after a series of battles, Yuan Shao used his powerful generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others to attack in turn. The enemy's plan, after more than [-] large and small battles, defeated the Black Mountain Army Zuo Zhuzhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Huanglong, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Digen and other troops, beheading more than [-] people, and recruited more than [-] surrender troops. Gaining tens of thousands of households can be described as a great victory.

Of course, in order to win this great victory, Yuan Shao also paid a lot of money, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, even General Zhang Xi was slightly injured, and lost more than ten generals.

But no matter what, the current Yuan Shao has successfully completed the previous battle plan and expanded his territory to Shegou.

Of course, during this period, Jia Kui, the prefect of Hedong appointed by Liu He, also took the opportunity to expand his army eastward, and recruited the general Fang Yue who originally belonged to Hanoi. .

"This time we fought in Hanoi, it can be said that we went very smoothly. Next, we will go all out to attack Qingzhou. As long as we occupy Qingzhou, we will be able to look at the Central Plains. At that time, we can start from the east and the west. Attack Cao Cao's power, occupy Xuchang, welcome the emperor, gain the political advantage of serving the emperor as an order, and then attack the nearby warlords in the name of the emperor, expand our power, look at the world, who else is more suitable to dominate than the lord The world?"

At the celebration meeting, when Tian Feng toasted, he said this to Yuan Shao.

These words naturally aroused a response from the surrounding civil and military officials.

However, at this time, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan cupped his hands and asked: "Mr. Tian, ​​why don't we take the opportunity to attack Liu He? Although his power seems to be very wide, it is actually very scattered. As long as we occupy Shangdang, we will If we can cut off his north-south connection, at that time, as long as we occupy Bingzhou first, and then attack Youzhou, so that my father sits in the land of Qingjiyou and Bingzhou, and then drinks horses from the Yellow River, looking at the Central Plains, wouldn't it be easier to dominate? become?"

After Tian Feng heard this, he shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the Second Young Master doesn't know something. First of all, we are already an alliance with Liu He, and we should trust each other. If we break the alliance at this time, the Lord will be punished." An unjust reputation; moreover, now Gongsun Zan's main force is concentrated in Youzhou, Qingzhou can be said to be a land without owner, and it is easy to attack. Although Liu He's forces are scattered, there is Youzhou in the north and Si in the south. Li, the soldiers under his command are powerful and popular. Even if the connection between the north and the south is broken, it is not easy to capture it? Thirdly, Cao Cao is now fighting Lu Bu in Puyang and has no time for him. If we attack Luoyang at this time, we will enter later In Henan, if you occupy Xudu, you can achieve hegemony smoothly, so why bother to stick to a remote place?"

"It is precisely because Liu He is threatening that we should eliminate him first. As long as Liu He is defeated, who else is our opponent in the four states of Hebei? It is estimated that Liu He is being troubled by the Black Mountain Army. As long as we Take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Hanoi, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Shangdang and Taiyuan. Most of Bingzhou will fall into our hands. At this time, we will join forces with Gongsun Zan to capture Youzhou, and we will be able to control the two prefectures. The power has occupied the four northern states, isn't it beautiful?" Guo Tu disagreed with Tian Feng's words and retorted.

But seeing Jushou on the side, he said: "Guo Gong is a little too underestimated Liu He, right? According to Shou, Liu He's army can almost defeat the Black Mountain Army now. Don't worry, everyone. It will take a day or two at most." , the battle report of Liu He's rescue of General Gao will be sent."

"Hmph, how is this possible? No matter how weak the Black Mountain bandit is, there are [-] troops in the Yuan Clan. How many troops can Liu He's Taiyuan add up to? Ju Gongyu, do you dare to bet with me? Just bet On our respective projects...."

Guo Tu was full of disbelief, and was about to take this opportunity to kill Jushou, but he didn't expect to see a soldier barging in outside the door before he finished speaking, and said loudly: "My lord, there is news from General Gao Gan, Sili Captain Liu He had put down the Heishan bandits a few days ago, and tens of thousands of people under Zhang Yan, the leader of the bandits, had surrendered. The army is going to Zhongshan country..."

"What?" Hearing the news, almost everyone was shocked, even Ju Shou, who had previously determined that Liu He would win, was no exception.

"Haha, Gongze, it's a good thing you didn't say that, otherwise, I really don't know how many heads you have to bet? Now Liu He has won a big victory, and the siege of Changshan has been lifted. This is really true for us." It's good news." Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, immediately made fun of Guo Tu after hearing this.

Guo Tu has always supported Yuan Tan, so he was naturally hated by Yuan Xi. Seeing Guo Tu deflated now, he felt very happy, and naturally he would not give up this opportunity to humiliate Guo Tu.

But Jushou remained silent, and after a while he suddenly said: "Although Liu He's victory is good news for us, it is not very good news. Think about it, Liu He won with ten thousand people." Everyone. He was able to recruit tens of thousands of people under Zhang Yan's command. How powerful is this? This person is so powerful, but he is a great threat to the Lord's future domination of the world."

"Then we just proposed to deal with Liu He, and you still don't agree? Are you saying this now to admit that you were wrong before?"

Guo Tu seized the opportunity and immediately came to refute Ju Shou.

But Jushou shook his head and said: "It is precisely because Liu He is so powerful that we should not send troops to deal with him. It is harmful to us to provoke such a strong enemy. Therefore, in Shou's view, the most important thing for us now is to occupy Qingzhou. If we attack Cao Cao in two ways, or even in three ways, as long as we defeat Cao Cao and welcome the emperor, we don't have to be afraid of Liu He anymore."

"My lord, what you have said is very true, and I agree with you." Tian Feng immediately responded to Ju Shou's words and bowed to Liu He.

"My lord, the lower officials also agree." The examiner also nodded.

"My lord, what Shen Zhengnan said is correct, and the subordinates also agree." This time even Feng Ji, who had a gap with Shen Pei, was rarely on this side.

But that's not all, even Xu You agreed to take Qingzhou first and not to go to war with Liu He.

"Since you all think so, let's do this. After the army is reorganized, except for some people left to guard Hanoi, the rest will return to Yecheng with me, and then send troops to the plain." Yuan Shao's face showed a trace of worry. Resolutely, said aloud.
