Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 248
Tai Shici continued: "The report claims that this time Liu Biao sent generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead 20 troops to the north."

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Pass an order to Ma Teng to teach this Jingzhou soldier a lesson."

"Order!"

Tai Shici received the order, turned around and left the hall, and ordered the sergeant of the Feixun camp to convey Zhao Qian's order to Wuguan.

Zhao Yun stepped out of the squad and said, "Brother, do you want to lead the troops to Wuguan to conquer Liu Biao?"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said: "During the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Liu Biao did not move, which shows that he was not aggressive enough. Now he is bewitched by Yuan Shao when he raises troops to commit crimes. Just give him some strength to try. Definitely retreat."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said, "What my lord said is true. My lord's biggest threat is still Yuan Shao. Although the counselors are at odds and have not sent troops yet, there will always be a day of war."

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "That's right, how can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch. Yuan Shao is really a big threat in Jizhou."

Xun You went on to say: "My lord, the current plan is to let Ma Teng Xiliang soldiers and horses stop Liu Biao's army, and we will store up food and prepare weapons, and fight Yuan Shao when the time comes."

"How about sending troops immediately?" Zhao Qian asked, "You can catch Yuan Shao by surprise."

Xun You shook his head and said, "Although Yuan Shao's advisers are at odds with each other, they do have some real talents. If you send troops suddenly, it may not be effective immediately. It will be disadvantageous for the army if you rush to fight."

Zhao Qian frowned and said, "In this way, I'm afraid I'll lose the opportunity."

Guo Jia laughed, and said: "My lord, as long as he occupies the great righteousness, he will not lose the opportunity. If Yuan Shao sends troops, he will come from nowhere. At that time, my lord can use the order of the emperor to send troops to attack!"

Zhao Qian nodded after hearing this, and said: "Why don't I go to the emperor first, ask for an imperial decree to withdraw troops, and send it to Yuan Shao. If he does not retreat, he will be accused of not being called in the future if he is in a conquest."

"That's a good idea!" Guo Jia nodded and said, "Besides, the lord is newly married, so it's really inappropriate to go on an expedition, so as not to neglect Madam, haha!"

Zhao Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard all the civil and military men laughing, and couldn't help feeling angry that Guo Jia dared to tease himself in public.

"Feng Xiao actually teased this general?" Zhao Qian laughed, "Everyone is here, pass on my military order, within one month of Feng Xiao, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, and those who see you but don't stop them will be severely punished!"

Guo Jia is fond of wine, as we all know, his thin body is also related to excessive drinking.

Zhao Qian was very anxious about this, but Guo Jia didn't care, so Zhao Qian always looked for opportunities and punished Guo Jia to ban alcohol.

"My lord, Jia knows his mistake, please take it back." Guo Jia begged for mercy with a bitter face.

Zhao Qian shook his head with a smile, and said: "As we all know, the general's military order is strict, how can he take it back, and for doing such a child's play, Feng Xiao needs to reflect on it deeply during the punishment period, so as not to make it happen again."

Xun You laughed, and said: "Feng Xiao, you dare to tease the Lord, this is your own fault, you should be punished obediently, ha ha!"

Zhang Fei also teased: "Oh, my old Zhang just received a few jars of fine wine the day before yesterday. I wanted to share them with Feng Xiao, but now it seems that I have to drink them myself."

"Let's wait for a month, but we will taste fine wine together." Guo Jia said hastily.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Feng Xiao, based on your knowledge, do you think that my old Zhang can keep the fine wine for a month?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia was stunned, his face full of disappointment. With Zhang Fei's alcohol addiction, let alone a month, it would be good if he could stay overnight.

Seeing this, the others laughed again, but this time, it was Guo Jia who laughed.

Seeing that there was nothing else important to do, Zhao Qian sent everyone away, then went to the palace to meet Liu Bian, and asked for an imperial decree for Yuan Shao to send to Wu'an.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Shao quickly called all his counselors to discuss countermeasures.

Yuan Shao circulated the decree to everyone, saying: "The decree of the Son of Heaven ordered me to retreat, what do you think?"

"This must be Zhao Qian's plan!" Guo Tu said with confidence.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "Don't I know that this is Zhao Qian's plan? What I want to know is what to do now!"

Guo Tu coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then stopped talking.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Yuan Shao couldn't help being a little annoyed. He named Ju Shou and said, "Gongyu, you have always planned, how should you deal with this plan?"

Ju Shou sighed softly, and said: "The lord should not have sent troops. Now it is difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat. If you do not retreat, you will violate the emperor's ordinance; Defeat!"

"This..." Yuan Shao was speechless at the moment.

Xu You, who had already rushed back from Jingzhou, read the imperial decree and said, "In my opinion, why should my lord retreat?"

"What should the emperor's decree be?" Yuan Shao asked.

Xu You sneered and said: "The Han Dynasty is in ruins, the emperor is weak, and he has no real name. If there is an imperial decree, why should we be concerned? If the emperor issues an edict and wants to take the head of the lord, is the lord or not?"

Xu You was originally a bold person. He even planned with Wang Fen and Zhou Jing to abolish Emperor Ling of Han and establish Hefei Marquis.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath when he heard this, but he didn't expect Xu You to say that, so he subconsciously said, "Naturally not."

"That's it over there." Xu You spread his hands and said, "Since Zhao Qian ordered me to retreat with the order of the emperor, it shows that he is still afraid of the lord. If he retreats like this, he will be defeated. How will he face Zhao Qian in the future? , facing the princes of the world?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Having said that, I will not retreat. What else do other people have to say?"

Shenpei, Fengji, Xun Chen and others were silent, because they were the ones who advocated sending troops before, which led to the current situation. It is better not to speak now, so that they have no responsibility.

Ju Shou sighed, and said, "My lord, although the Son of Heaven is weak, he cannot ignore it. Since my lord has decided not to retreat, I have a plan to keep my lord from being criticized by the princes."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard that, although he decided to resist the order and not obey it, he still had some concerns in his heart, fearing that the princes of the world would condemn him for the crime of resisting the order.

Now that I heard that Jushou has a plan, I couldn't help being overjoyed, and asked quickly: "The public and the plan must be very good, so let's talk about it quickly."

"Oh, it's not a clever plan, it's a last resort." Ju Shou sighed.

Yuan Shao was a little impatient, and said, "Just say it."

Ju Shou nodded and said, "My lord can order a group of soldiers to pretend to be bandits to patrol the surrounding counties. In this way, my lord can go to the table and station troops here on the grounds of killing thieves, so as to seal the mouth of the world."

"Wonderful!" Yuan Shao clapped his hands in praise.

Therefore, Yuan Shao issued an order to command Wang Zhao to lead 1000 men and horses to pretend to be horse thieves; to order Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, to draft a letter to report back to the emperor.
