In the face of Yuan Shao's crisis, the strategists have an unshirkable obligation to relieve Yuan Shao's crisis.

They used their smart brains one after another to plan for Yuan Shao.

Feng Ji stood up first and said to Yuan Shao: "The current situation is not good for me, the general only has two ways to choose, first, lead the army south and fight for Yanzhou with Guo Peng, and second, eliminate Gongsun Chan as soon as possible and occupy Youzhou to ensure that the rear is safe and invincible." ”

Xu You agreed, and Fu Zhu and Tian Feng had nothing to say, thinking that these were indeed Yuan Shao's two paths.

Yuan Shao thought for a while.

"Attacking Guo Peng in the south, the odds are not great, Guo Peng has capable people and fierce generals under his command, and it is not wise to compete with him."

Yuan Shao didn't want to admit that he was inferior to Guo Peng, but he couldn't ignore the facts, so he could only dump the blame.

The subordinates honestly put the pot down.

Then there is only a second way to go.

Defeat Gongsun Chan as soon as possible, and before Guo Peng's rectification of Yanzhou is completed and the plot against Jizhou is completed, Gongsun Chan will be eliminated, occupy Youzhou, and ensure that there is no danger in the rear, so that he can face south against Guo Peng.

This is not easy, Jizhou does not have enough military strength to eliminate Gongsun Chan at the moment, let alone annex the entire Youzhou.

Unless Gongsun Zan and the sect members are dead, then Yuan Shao can annex Youzhou as soon as possible and be invincible.

The process won't be fast.

But once Guo Peng finishes rectifying Yanzhou, he will definitely organize his troops to the north and try to unite with Gongsun Zan to eliminate Yuan Shao when Yuan Shu is in the south.

Unless, find him another opponent.

"Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian has served as Xuzhou Thorn Shi for a long time, and his power is deep-rooted, if we can win over Tao Qian to wait for foreign aid for us, we can contain Guo Peng."

Feng Ji said.

Xu Yu shook his head.

"Tao Qian won't do that, if he is embarrassed with Guo Peng, then Guo Peng in the north and Yuan Shu in the south, under the attack of the north and south, can Tao Qian hold on? He is more likely to defect to Yuan Shu and form an alliance with Yuan Shu and Guo Peng, and the Central Plains can no longer actually be an obstacle to Guo Peng's Northern Expedition. ”

Yuan Shao's complexion became very bad.

"Then, what about Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou?"

Fu Zhu said: "Before, we united with Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu, drove Yuan Shu out of Nanyang County, and also cut off Sun Jian, a big scourge. ”

Xu You and Feng Ji looked at each other.

"It's not impossible, but it's still a question whether Liu Biao will agree to send troops north for us."

Yuan Shao's complexion was even worse.

Seeing that his Central Plains strategy was completely frustrated, and the Central Plains was about to become the territory controlled by Yuan Shu, he launched an offensive against him from the north and south, which made Yuan Shao very worried.

At this time, Tian Feng, who had not spoken, spoke: "Gongsun Chan himself is also a subordinate of the sect member, and the sect member is the assassin of Youzhou, Gongsun Chan has repeatedly moved troops south to invade Jizhou, does the sect member really agree?" ”

This question aroused Yuan Shao's interest.

"What does Yuan Hao mean?"

"General, Gongsun Chan invaded Jizhou, Youzhou is his backing, this person is a member of the sect, I have heard of it, he is a person who is old and serious, talented, and more than enough to keep it, but his enterprising heart is insufficient, he may not be willing to see Gongsun Chan and the general fighting endlessly."

Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shao realize that there was a third party in the war between himself and Gongsun Zhan.

This third party is the actual controller of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan's official position is only that of Zhuo County.

Gongsun Chan provoked a war, do the sect members really want to see it?

Yuan Shao realized what Tian Feng meant.

If you can provoke the contradiction between the sect member and Gongsun Zhan, maybe you can use the sect member to get rid of Gongsun Zhan, then the old and serious sect member may not be able to become a trouble for Yuan Shao, and the situation will be reversed immediately.

When the situation was in crisis before, Yuan Shao also used his identity and advantages to reverse it in one fell swoop, occupy Jizhou, and pull up an alliance against Yuan Shu.

Although the alliance has failed now, Yuan Shao may not be able to strengthen himself, and once again operate to the limit to reverse the general trend of the world.

Yuan Shu slandered him Yuan Shao is not a descendant of the Yuan family, so that Yuan Shao is laughed at by the world, this grudge, he will not let go of Yuan Shu, and he must slaughter this bastard with his own hands.

There is also Guo Peng, Guo Peng is going to be fried in the oil pan, fried until the outside is crispy and tender inside!

And if you want to accomplish all this, Yuan Shao has a lot to do.

Under the planning of the strategists, Yuan Shao did three things.

First, write a letter to the sect member, with a large number of gifts, to provoke the relationship between him and Gongsun Zhan, saying that Gongsun Chan is overstepping his position and robbing the status and prestige of the sect member, it is difficult to say that it is not to replace him, and I hope that the sect member will think carefully and restrict Gongsun Zhan.

Second, write a letter to Liu Biao and ask Liu Biao to send troops north to occupy Yuzhou, compete with Yuan Shu, and cooperate with Yuan Shao to attack the Yuan Shu Alliance.

Third, Yuan Shao was going to send someone to send a secret letter to Dong Zhuo, once the first two things were not in good condition, in order to survive, he would not care about crusading against Dong Zhuo.

directly promised heavy profits, hoping that Dong Zhuo could send troops to occupy Chenliu County and contain Guo Peng, and he was willing to unite with Dong Zhuo to fight against the alliance between Guo Peng and Yuan Shu.

Dong Zhuo was beaten to Chang'an by Guo Peng and Yuan Shu's alliance, and there must have been a lot of resentment in his heart, and Yuan Shao was willing to cooperate with him to exterminate Guo Peng and Yuan Shu.

The third thing was decided by Yuan Shao in private, and he was not ready to carry it out, but once the first two things could not be promoted smoothly, the third thing must be promoted.

Because Dong Zhuo still has strength, the Central Plains can't contain Guo Peng and Yuan Shu, so he can only start from Kansai.

Nothing compares to survival, and the vertical and horizontal are the seams, and they cannot be allowed to sit so big that they cannot fight.

Yuan Shao will not be Song Xianggong.

At the end of the first month of the third year of the first year of the first peace, when Guo Peng was promoting the Tuntian policy aimed at stabilizing the local areas in the counties of Yanzhou, the sect members received letters and gifts from Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao analyzed the current situation for the sect member and told him that Gongsun Zhan was gradually out of control.

Gongsun Zhan no longer regards himself as a subordinate of the sect, but develops himself as an independent force, and this is the reason why he wants to occupy Jizhou.

Yuan Shao also said that Gongsun Chan is young, and the sect members are old, once Gongsun Chan has the idea of replacing him, the sect members will not be able to curb it.

In order to control Youzhou and live safely, the sect members must cut off the threat of Gongsun Zhan.

Now Gongsun Chan is not fully fledged, it is the time to destroy him, if he waits for him to be full-fledged, it will be too late.

In order to make it more likely for the sect members to cooperate with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao once again sent Xun Chen, the first person under his command.

Xun Chen brought a large number of gifts to visit the sect members, stated the interests and disadvantages for the sect members, and provoked the relationship between the sect members and Gongsun Zhan, which can be regarded as doing his best.

"Gongsun Chan invaded Youzhou, playing his own banner, and his own selfish desires, he didn't put the envoy in his eyes at all, now Yuan Jizhou can still compete with Gongsun Zhan, once Yuan Jizhou is defeated, Gongsun Chan occupies Jizhou, at that time, how should the envoy deal with himself?"

Xun Chen opened his mouth and said: "Gongsun Chan is tyrannical, mean and unkind, not a person who can be controlled for a long time, so Jun originally wanted to use Gongsun Chan to deter foreign races, but he let Gongsun Chan develop and grow, with tens of thousands of troops, the situation has reached this point, I am really worried about Jun." ”
