Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 291
In Zhao Qian's General's Mansion, a group of civil and military personnel gathered together. Looking at this lineup, Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Wen Ruo, at the court just now, what do you mean by supporting Cao Cao?" Zhao Qian asked with a smile.

Xun Yu bowed slightly, and replied: "It's not that I support Cao Cao, but Cao Cao and my lord are allies, but Tao Qian has an ambiguous relationship with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan, who was killed by my lord before, so Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is beneficial to my lord." .”

"He Li?" Zhao Qian asked.

Xun Yu stroked his beard lightly, and said, "One is to punish Tao Qian, and His Majesty is now on the throne; second, if Cao Cao wins Xuzhou, he can separate the two Yuans to prevent them from uniting."

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "In addition to these benefits, can it be harmful?"

Jia Xu who was next to him said, "Xu Shao from Runan once commented on Cao Cao as 'a minister capable of governing the world, a hero in troubled times'. This is the time of troubled times. If he is allowed to develop, I'm afraid..."

Jia Xu didn't continue, but the meaning was obvious, that is, if Cao Cao grows stronger, it may not be a good thing.

Of course Zhao Qian knew about this situation. After thinking for a while, he asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what do you think about this?"

Guo Jia smiled casually, and said, "It's too late."

When Zhao Qian heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, what Guo Jia said made sense. No matter who he wanted to help, he couldn't help.

"However, on this matter, the imperial court has to make a statement." Guo Jia continued.

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Show your opinion? What should be the court's attitude?"

"It is true that as Wen Ruo said, Tao Qian's collusion with Yuan Shu must not be forgiven. This is a matter of principle. It is just a matter of Cao Cao's hand to get rid of Tao Qian!" Guo Jia said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"However, Wen He said that this will make Cao Cao stronger, and may also be a threat to the court in the future." Zhao Qiandao.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is already unstoppable, so it's better to be a favor, so that in a short period of time, there will be no unnecessary conflicts between Cao Cao, the lord, and the court. Contain Yuan Shu, and let the lord spare time to deal with Yuan Shao!"

"It seems that this time I really have to stand by and watch." Zhao Qian said with a smile.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "My lord can ask Your Majesty to send a decree to Xuzhou. As long as Tao Qian finds his way back and comes to Jinyang to apologize, my lord can guarantee his life."

"What about the other side?" Zhao Qian asked.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said, "On the other hand, we spread it orally, saying that Cao Cao's revenge for his father is justified, and it is actually filial piety."

"And then?" Zhao Qian smiled, "Will Tao Qian choose the first option?"

"Of course not!" Guo Jia said decisively, "Tao Qian will definitely ask for help everywhere, and the one closest to him and the one with the best relationship is Yuan Shu!"

"Will Yuan Shu send troops to help Tao Qian?" Zhao Qian asked.

This time it was Xun Yu who replied: "Of course it will. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao had a grudge. Now that Liu Bei is occupying Lujiang to guard against Liu Biao's sneak attack, he has been coveting Cao Cao for a long time. It's just that there is no good opportunity. If there is such an opportunity, then Yuan Shu will return." Not happy to go?"

Zhao Qian has no doubts about whether Cao Cao can deal with the combination of Tao Qian and Yuan Shu. With Cao Cao's means, it should not be difficult.

"Hey, the common people are the ones who suffer the most!" Zhao Qian sighed.

Guo Jia coughed lightly and said, "My lord, don't worry, this battle won't be fought anytime soon."

"What do you mean by filial piety?" Zhao Qian asked puzzledly, "Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou to avenge his father, and Xuzhou has more soldiers and more food, so it must be a quick battle, which is beneficial to Cao Cao, so why can't we fight? "

"Winter is coming, food, grass, and weather will affect the battle. In my opinion, although Cao Cao wants to send troops to attack Xuzhou, he will make full preparations, and Tao Qian can delay it for a day." Guo Jia explained. .

Zhao Qian nodded. It is very inconvenient to fight in this winter. If the temperature drops suddenly, it will definitely cause a large area of ​​non-combat attrition.

Guo Jia looked at Zhao Qian and said, "My lord, we can't be idle this winter."

"How do you say that?" Zhao Qian asked.

"The development of Cao Cao and Xuzhou will inevitably cause many chain reactions. Therefore, Jia believes that next year when the spring warms up, the lord should take the initiative to conquer Yuan Shao and try to pacify the north before Cao Cao wins Xuzhou!" Guo Jia said.

Xun Yu nodded and said: "The words of filial piety are good. If Cao Cao wins and Tao Qian loses, Yuan Shu still sits in Huaiyang. If at that time, the two Yuans collude, the situation will not be good."

"Yes, Yuan Shao sent troops from Jizhou to attack Shangdang and threaten Jinyang, and the soldiers from Bohai Sea contained Youzhou; Yuan Shu may send Liu Bei northward to attack Luoyang. At that time, my lord will face multi-front battles, which is very disadvantageous." Guo Jia added.

"Cao Cao and Liu Biao will sit idly by?" Zhao Qian asked.

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "That's Cao Cao who just went through the Xuzhou War. I'm afraid that even if he wanted to help, he would have more than enough energy. Now, if we really want to mobilize soldiers and horses to fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable." Zhao Qian said, "Then what preparations do we need to make?"

"The first is grain and grass. My lord can send people to the states and counties to buy grain in the name of merchants and transport it back to Jinyang; secondly, it is weapons and equipment. I heard that my lord has achieved remarkable results in iron smelting. Then use this For a while, build weapons, armor, and equip an excellent army!" Guo Jia talked eloquently.

Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Feng Xiao thinks about Zhou Xiang, Wen Ruo and Wen He think far-reaching, I am not as good as that."

Guo Jia laughed, and said: "My lord is planning all the plans. Naturally, I can't think carefully about the details. Otherwise, what do you want our counselors to do? Haha."

After listening to all the civil and military people present, they all laughed, and Zhao Qian finally said: "Okay, now that the plan has been made, then when it is implemented, you still need to do your best!"

"No hesitation!" All civil and military personnel replied together.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Okay, it's getting late, everyone, let's go."

After the crowd dispersed, Zhao Qian was about to return to the back hall when he felt the system ring on his finger vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Xue'er, the system elf, came: "Master, you still have a chance to draw a lottery that you haven't used. If it passes today, it will be invalid."

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows. After he defeated Xianbei a few days ago, the system gave him a lot of prestige rewards and multiple lucky draw opportunities.

It's just that Zhao Qian's luck didn't seem to be very good at the time, and all he got were common and useless things.

Unexpectedly, it fell down once again, Zhao Qian raised his brows, thinking that there is no need to use it, even if he smokes an apple, he can still quench his thirst.
