Chapter 561: The Battle of the Strategists
Month.
The matter of sealing the mound was revealed and spread to the Chang'an court.
Li Dao Guo Yan was good at killing the envoys of the imperial court, making it clear that he wanted to oppose the imperial court to the end, which made the court set off a unanimous condemnation.
When the next dynasty returned to the house, Lu Bu summoned a group of civil officials under his command to discuss the matter.
As a long history, Chen Gong only thought for a while, and then took the lead in speaking: "Lord, I think this matter is quite strange. If Li and Guo really wanted to rebel, they would not have written such a long recital to ask the court for forgiveness. As far as I can i'm expecting, there must be reasons for this that we don't know. ”
Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong appreciatively, quite agreeing with Chen Gong's speculation.
In the past, when he was under Dong Zhuo's account, he had worked with Li Dao and Guo Yan for a period of time, and both of them were ruthless people who did not want to die in battle, but they were also people with a strong desire to survive.
Lu Bu didn't believe that the two would have trouble after learning of the court's forgiveness. But now, it is rumored that Li Dao and Guo Yan killed the imperial court envoy, and the two of them did not speak out to refute it.
In this way, it's like yellow mud falling off the crotch of your pants, and it's not but is.
"What to do now?" Lu Bu asked out loud.
Chen Gong didn't think about it, and quickly replied: "I think that the lord should lead the righteous army and cut it down!" ”
If these two remnants of Dong thieves can be exterminated, Lu Bu's reputation will inevitably rise again.
After Chen Gong's words fell, one person stood up, bowed his hand to Lu Bu, and said loudly: "My lord, the lower officials dare not agree with Chen Changshi's opinion. Looking at the world, Li Dao Guo Yan has now become a lost dog, and his power is weak, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
What's more, the Fengqiu where these two people are located is far away from Chang'an, and if they go to conquer it, it will cost a lot of money and food. Therefore, the officials thought that there was no need to mobilize the people for these two people. ”
Regarded as a comment, it is a comment by Dong Cao Pengxin.
At present, Guanzhong is finally calm, and the people can barely live a stable life.
However, there is not enough food in the treasury, and the relief that was distributed in the first two years is no longer enough to support a war. Once the army is sent to war, the money and food consumption brought by the war will only be forcibly levied on the people in the form of taxes, and then hundreds of people will be displaced.
This is what Xin Ping does not want to see.
After Xin commented on it, Xiao Ji also followed suit, and he also bowed first, and then gave his own views and opinions: "The lower officials are not in favor of the expedition, not to mention the huge loss and expenditure, if Li Dao Guo Yan implements exile warfare and attacks flexibly, I am afraid it will be a headache." Therefore, the lower officials thought that they should send envoys to Hanoi and Jizhou, and order Wang Kuang, the county guard of Hanoi, and Yuan Shao, the pastor of Jizhou, to jointly send troops to recruit and suppress. ”
Although everyone is a subordinate official of Lu Bu's mansion, when Lu Bu asks questions, everyone is vying to be the first, thinking of performing well in front of the lord and getting Lu Bu's recognition and attention.
Lu Bu subconsciously set his eyes on Xi Ce, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no other opinions.
Each of the three has its own truth.
How to choose?
It's a conundrum.
Lu Bu thought about his position again and again, and after several comparisons, he still preferred the plan proposed by Xiao Ji.
However, he also has his own concerns, Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao may not obediently obey the dispatch of the imperial court.
He had used the imperial court banner before to let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao enter the Beijing face saint, but the two of them repeatedly shirked and did not want to come.
This time, Yuan Shao is also likely to turn a deaf ear or deliberately shirk.
Xiao Ji saw Lu Bu's concerns, and took the initiative to propose a corresponding solution, saying loudly: "The lord doesn't need to worry, if Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao don't listen to the edict, then the lord can wait for the autumn harvest next year." After the grain harvest is abundant, at that time, the lord can use the matter of disobeying the orders of the imperial court to personally lead the army to ask the two for their crimes, not only to eradicate Li Dao Guo Yan by the way, but also to take Hanoi and Jizhou together! ”
Kill three birds with one stone!
Listening to the plan, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with excitement.
Even if he becomes a great Sima, the aggressive temperament of a martial artist will not dissipate.
Without galloping on the battlefield, for military generals, sometimes, it is also a kind of loneliness.
Lu Bu not only wanted to fight Yuan Shao, but also wanted to fight Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei.
Reborn in a lifetime, if you don't compete with the heroes of the world, wouldn't it be too boring!
Compared with the mentality at the beginning of rebirth, Lu Bu at this moment has undergone earth-shaking changes.
…………
The edict ordering Yuan Shao to exterminate Li Dao and Guo Yan soon flew to Jizhou.
In the governor's mansion in Yecheng, Yuan Shao, who is the state pastor, gathered a group of his advisers to discuss how to deal with it.
"My lord, I see that this matter is quite strange, it is by no means as simple as you think, and you must not be careless." Engage in frustration and give words to remind.
Yuan Shaoshen nodded thoughtfully.
"Frustration is not good at what is said in this way, and those who have achieved great things in ancient times must have the courage. Li Dao and Guo Yan have already united with Fan Chou, and the soldiers in their hands are ten thousand. I think this is a godsend, why don't you take advantage of this to send troops and swallow it for your own use? ”
The radical Guo Tu also took the opportunity to put forward his own opinions, indicating that it was better to take the initiative than to sit back and wait for death.
When Yuan Shao heard it, he felt that what Guo Tu said was also very reasonable.
"Lord, you should cut it down to win the trust of the world!" Don't drive Tian Feng also suggested sending troops.
Yuan Shao let out a 'hmm', seemingly a little moved.
"My lord, you must not send troops at this time!"
In the hall, a person came out and shouted, and Yuan Shao regarded it as a strategist Xu You.
He couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?" ”
"Lord, the current situation is not stable, the northern Gongsun Zan is eyeing Jizhou, and a few months ago, he began to increase a large number of troops in the south of Youzhou, obviously with the intention of going south to Jizhou. We can't wait for it, if we rush to send troops, I am afraid that it will give Gongsun Chan a chance to take advantage of, so it is better to wait and see what happens. ”
Xu You's words made Yuan Shao, who had a firm attitude, shake a little again.
He pinched his chin and beard, and what Xu Yu said seemed to have some truth.
If you want to talk about Gongsun Zhan's increase in troops to the south, it is purely Yuan Shao's own work.
Last time, Gongsun Zhan promised to help Yuan Shao help capture Jizhou and sent troops to put pressure on Han Fu. Yuan Shao also said that after the matter was completed, he gave the land of Zhongshan County to Gongsun Zhan, but Yuan Shao repented of his word, causing Gongsun Zhan to hate and poison Yuan Shao.
However, later the imperial court sent the general Huangfu Song to Youzhou, but because of the prestige of Huangfu Song, Gongsun Zhan did not dare to say anything about it, so he could only swallow his anger.
However, in recent times, Huangfu Song's body has gradually declined, and he can no longer suppress this white wolf.
Gongsun Zhan took the opportunity to increase his troops to the south of Youzhou, as if he had the intention of capturing Jizhou.
"Lord, don't do this!"
Tian Feng hurriedly shouted, and his tone was straight: "If you don't exterminate Li and Guo, until next year, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to conquer Jizhou on the grounds of disobeying the edict." At that time, Jizhou is in danger! ”
"Heh, don't drive Tian, you don't have to be alarmist here. I don't believe that the imperial court will attack Jizhou for the sake of the remnants of the Dong thieves. Xu You sneered, quite disdainful.
"You little opinion!"
"Your Excellency may not be clever enough to get anywhere!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yuan Shao, who was distraught by the noise, slammed the table, making a series of loud noises, and shouted: "Okay, don't fight!" ”
