Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 316
Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision, Ju Shou quickly got up and bowed, and said: "My lord is wise, in this way, my lord can check and balance Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei without a single soldier. As long as the time is right, there will be great achievements." obtained."

Yuan Shao nodded, very happy, as if he had already obtained the land of two states, and said with a smile: "If you can succeed, it is all thanks to you."

"My lord is wise!" Guo Tu and Xin Ping also said gratefully.

Shenpei and Fengji looked at each other, and the former stood up and asked, "My lord, if you increase troops to Qingzhou, how will you deal with Zhao Qian?"

"This?" Yuan Shao was taken aback, he really didn't think about it, he just heard the benefits of what Jushou said, but he didn't think about it.

However, I have ordered it just now, so naturally I can't take it back, so I said: "At this time, the public must have countermeasures, and we can listen to what they say."

Yuan Shao directly returned this question to Jushou, and became the hands-off shopkeeper.

Ju Shou narrowed his eyes and said, "If you want to get one state, or even two states, you must make peace with Zhao Qian now."

"What? Absolutely not!"

Before Yuan Shao could speak, Yuan Xi who was next to him stopped immediately and shouted loudly, expressing his disagreement.

"Father, if I lose this eye, I can't get rid of my relationship with Zhao Qian, and I am at odds with him!" Yuan Xi said angrily.

Yuan Shang also frowned and said: "Father, if you seek peace with Zhao Qian, wouldn't it be a sign of weakness and make the world laugh?"

The judge also hurriedly said: "What the third son said is that the two armies are fighting, and the momentum is the most important. Now, if you take the initiative to show weakness, it will make our army's morale plummet. When the time comes to fight, it will be disadvantageous for our army."

"Seeking peace is not a sign of weakness. If we can get Xuzhou or Yanzhou, the lord's power will increase greatly. At that time, if we fight Zhao Qian again, our army will have a huge psychological advantage and will be able to crush Zhao Qian!" Ju Shou said.

Feng Ji snorted coldly and said, "My lord meddles in Xuzhou's affairs, so how could Zhao Qian just sit idly by?"

"Don't worry, Bingzhou is not richer than Jizhou, Zhao Qian will never attack Jizhou." Ju Shou said.

"Why is that?" asked the judge.

Ju Shou smiled slightly and said: "Zhao Qian's behavior can represent the emperor. If Zhao Qian came to attack Jizhou without a very suitable reason, what would the other princes think?"

"Other princes will definitely think, after fighting Jizhou, will the next one come to fight me?" Guo Tu added in a timely manner.

Because the strategy proposed by Jushou was very beneficial to Yuan Tan whom he supported, so this time, Guo Tu and Xin Ping began to help Jushou.

Xin Ping went on to say: "If that's the case, the princes of the world will attack him together, just like the crusade against Dong Zhuo back then."

Ju Shou nodded and said: "Zhong Zhi's words are very true, this is definitely not what Zhao Qian expected to see."

"However, there are still Zhang Yan from Heishan and Tian Feng from Youzhou, who are eyeing Jizhou." The judge added.

Ju Shou shook his head and said, "Their main function is to resist the Xianbei and Karasuma who are going south, and they will definitely not mobilize troops easily."

Shenpei and Fengji looked at each other and said nothing, as if they had nothing to say.

Yuan Shao saw that everyone had been persuaded, so he said: "Okay, let's go here first, and after returning, we will deploy according to Gongyu's proposal."

Everyone took the order to leave, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had expressions of resentment, but there was nothing they could do, the decision Yuan Shao made was not allowed to be changed.

A few days later, [-] troops under the leadership of general Peng An set off from Jizhou to Qingzhou.

After seeing the 2 people, Yuan Tan was very happy, and immediately ordered Peng An to lead 5000 people, with Cen Bi as the deputy general, stationed in Dongguan County of Xuzhou according to Yuan Shao's order.

The news soon spread to Xiapi City, and Tao Qian hastily summoned his civil servants and generals to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, I got the news that Yuan Tan ordered his general Peng An to lead 5000 troops to Dongguan County. What do you think?" Tao Qian asked.

Mi Zhu frowned, and said, "The purpose of entering Dongguan County is unclear, so we need to be careful."

"Report!" The voice of the messenger from outside came in.

Tao Qian frowned and said, "Come in and report."

The messenger came in, presented a military report with both hands, and said, "My lord, this is sent by Yuan Tan's general Peng Antuo."

"Well, I see, you go down first." Tao Qian said.

After the messenger saluted, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others were left outside the door, curiously looking at the military newspaper in Tao Qian's hand, wondering what Peng An would write for him.

"My lord, what did Peng An say?" Cao Bao asked.

Tao Qian sneered and said, "Hmph, then Peng An explained why he was stationed in Dongguan County."

"What's the reason?" Chen Deng also asked.

Tao Qian unfolded the military newspaper and said: "Peng An said that before Cen Bi supported Xuzhou, when he returned, he was harassed by the Taishan bandits, and this time he came to suppress the bandits."

"This is an excuse!" Mi Zhu said decisively, "Since you are being disturbed by the Taishan bandits, why don't you garrison Taishan County in Yanzhou and occupy our Dongguan County instead?"

Tao Qian smiled bitterly, and said, "Peng An said, by doing this, you can also help Xuzhou defend against Cao Cao!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he looked angry and said, "My lord, the Yuan family has a lot of ambition, so we need to be careful."

Tao Qian sighed and said: "I don't know, but with the current situation in Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drive away the 5000 troops in Peng'an, so I can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, alas! "

In Yanzhou, Cao Cao also held a piece of information, frowned, and said to the people around him, "Guess what happened?"

"How do we guess? My lord, tell me quickly, whether it is good or bad." Xiahou Dun said impatiently.

Cao Cao put the information on several cases, and said: "Yuan Shao added 5000 troops to Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan sent [-] troops to Dongguan County in Xuzhou."

Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Didn't Yuan Shao want to start a war with Zhao Qian? Why did you arrange the generals to Xuzhou?"

Cao Cao didn't speak, but Cheng Yu said, "This is the plan of the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Zhongde tried to say it."

"Yuan Shao must have expected that we will go to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian's bad luck after we have settled the matter in Yanzhou," Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded, and said: "The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable. I will kill Tao Qian sooner or later!"

"What Yuan Shao is waiting for is the battle between the lord and Tao Qian. No matter who wins in the end, the price to be paid will always be quite high. At that time, Yuan Shao's army will probably not be able to resist when Yuan Shao's army goes south." Cheng Yu explained.
