Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 356 Greedy Xu You
Just when the world was settled, Cao Cao in Yanzhou drove Liu Bei away, Sun Liu in Jingzhou stopped his troops, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou waited and watched Yanxu, but Jinyang suddenly issued an edict!
The content of the edict is generally that Yuan Shu refused to obey the king's order, set up a false emperor, and attacked the Han land. The emperor was furious and sent 15 troops, led by the general Zhao Qian.

If there are princes from all walks of life who help the original thief, the world will discuss it together.

After this edict was issued, it immediately caused an uproar in the world. No one thought that Zhao Qian would attack Yuan Shu at this time.

Jizhou, Yecheng, in the meeting hall of Yuan Shao's mansion.

Ju Shou came in a hurry and said, "Master, did you hear that Zhao Qian sent troops to the south to attack Yuan Shu?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "The imperial edict issued by Zhao Qian in the name of the Son of Heaven has already spread to all states and counties in the world, how can I not know?"

"Although Zhao Qian used the name of the emperor under the pretense, the seal on the edict is indeed the imprint of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which is real!" Ju Shou continued.

"Hey, this road is really self-defeating, so it shouldn't accept Liu Xie." Yuan Shao said with some displeasure.

Ju Shou looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Isn't this the master's hand?"

"Opportunity?" Yuan Shao looked at Jushou in confusion, "What opportunity?"

"Now that Zhao Qian is going to fight, Jinyang is empty, why don't you take advantage of this, and send troops to Jinyang to save the emperor to Jizhou?" Ju Shou said tactfully.

What Jushou said was to "rescue" the emperor, but in fact, he asked Yuan Shao to control the emperor himself. If there is an emperor who passes on the jade seal of the country, his appeal is still very large.

Yuan Shaoning frowned and pondered for a long time, but shook his head, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way, and it must not be done willfully."

Ju Shou frowned, and quickly said: "This matter is definitely not willful. After receiving the edict, the old man sent people to Jinyang to investigate. This time, Jinyang has only [-] guards!"

At this moment, Xu You, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others also came to Yuan Shao's mansion, all for Zhao Qian's edict.

Yuan Shao was a little moved by what Ju Shou said, but he was very happy to see that almost all of his counselors had come.

"Everyone came at a good time, let's discuss together, about the issue of Zhao Qian's edict." Yuan Shao said quickly.

Xu You bowed and said, "Master, we are here for this matter."

"Oh? Just now, Gong Yu suggested that I take advantage of Zhao Qian's expedition to Huaiyang to send troops to Jinyang. What do you guys think?" Yuan Shao said.

Xu You looked at the other people and said, "My lord, I don't think it's the best strategy to go to Jinyang concurrently."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao looked at Jushou and said, "Why does Ziyuan think so? But it doesn't matter."

Xu You arched his hands and said: "I have heard that although Zhao Qian led the army to go south, the Shangdang Xu Huang, Su Huan, and Hanoi Zhangxiu did not move. The combined strength of the two places is also twenty to thirty thousand. Jinyang, is An Neng unstoppable?"

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this, and said, "Ziyuan is in charge of our army's intelligence, since that's the case, he can't ignore it."

"My lord, without Zhao Qian, the Shangdang and Hanoi garrisons are like a group of dragons without a leader. My lord can send a small team to contain one place, and send a large army to destroy it at the other place; and then destroy the other way. If these two places are destroyed, Then the gate of Jinyang is wide open, and our army can drive straight in!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and Guo Tu hurriedly said, "My lord, you can't. If you want to attack Jinyang, you will have to bring back Qingzhou and the garrison of Dongguan County at this time. That will go against your master's plan."

Xu You also nodded, and said, "That's right, and there is Zhao Qian's sworn brother in Jinyang, and General Zhao Yun is personally guarding it. If he comes to rescue, it may be difficult to resist for a while."

"Exactly, if time drags on for a long time, it will be extremely unfavorable to the lord." Guo Tu continued.

Both of them were from Runan, and they usually had a good friendship, but seeing that they agreed at this time, they started talking in harmony.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao was a little moved by what was said, nodded, and said: "What Ziyuan and Gongze said is very much in line with my wishes. I also take Xuzhou. Now there are already 2 people in Dongguan County. As long as Cao Cao and Tao Qian fight again , I will be able to profit from it! Once Xuzhou wins, the soldiers, horses, money and food will be greatly supplemented, and then how can Zhao Qian be my opponent?"

After hearing this, Ju Shou said anxiously: "What if Cao Cao doesn't fight Tao Qian?"

"Haha, the revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable. Cao Cao has now settled in Yanzhou, and Liu Bei has fled to Xuzhou. No matter what point, Cao Cao will attack Xuzhou!" Yuan Shao said firmly.

"But……"

Ju Shou wanted to speak again, but Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Okay, sir, I've decided on this matter, so don't discuss it any further."

Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision, Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't really want to prevent Yuan Shao from sending troops to Jinyang, but he just wanted to prevent Yuan Shao from bringing back troops from Qingzhou and Dongguan counties.

Because Guo Tu is very friendly with Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, the teams in Qingzhou and Dongguan County are under Yuan Tan's control.

If he was transferred back to Jizhou, then Yuan Tan's strength would definitely be much less. This is not what Guo Tu wants to see, he has other plans.

When Xu You left Yuan Shao's mansion, he was very happy, because Yuan Shao gave up the idea of ​​sending troops to Jinyang, which made him a lot of money.

Although the person who came to bribe him did not reveal his identity, Xu You had already guessed that it must be someone from Jinyang.

However, Xu You did not report to Yuan Shao, nor did he drive him away. Instead, he accepted the bribe from the visitor and dissuaded Yuan Shao from sending troops to Jinyang.

Because Xu You also believes that it doesn't matter whether Zhao Qian is beaten or not at this time, the most important thing is to win Xuzhou or Yanzhou.

Both Xuzhou and Yanzhou are large grain-producing states, and the benefits of these two states are much more than attacking Jinyang.

Therefore, Xu You thought that Yuan Shao's interests were not harmed, and he could get a lot of property, so why not do it?

Moreover, the man said that what he got before was just an advance payment, and if Yuan Shao really gave up sending troops to Jinyang, more property would be given.

At this time, Xu You was already humming an unknown song, walking towards his mansion, imagining the wealth he was about to get.

Cao Cao of Yanzhou also received the edict issued by Jinyang, and his men and martial arts gathered together, waiting for Cao Cao's decision.

"My lord, when Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to lead the attack on Xuzhou, why not take this opportunity to help Zhao Qian destroy Yuan Shu!" Dian Wei said.

Cao Cao shook his head after hearing this, and said: "No need, this edict does not mention the need for the help of the princes. It is not beautiful to send troops rashly. Now that Yanzhou is newly settled, it is not appropriate to make a big move. It is better to wait and see how it changes."

Cheng Yu also nodded, and said: "My lord's words are very true, especially now that Yuan Shao is stationed in Dongguan County, using the excuse of exterminating Taishan bandits to look down on Yanxu, we must guard against it."
