After the blood boiled, everyone calmed down, after all, they are all resourceful people, have their own way of thinking, and will not follow the crowd.

Although the blueprint built by Jia Xu looks very beautiful, it is a little unrealistic when you think about it. After all, Yuan Shao's strength was extremely strong, and it was definitely not an easy thing to eliminate him.

Even the war between the two sides may be stalemate for several years. In this way, the entire Guanzhong will definitely be dragged into the quagmire of war.

Don't think that it is easy to eliminate a prince, especially a powerful prince like Yuan Shao, it is very difficult to eliminate.

In history, even if Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's main force in the Battle of Guandu, it still took nearly seven years to completely take over Yuan Shao's territory.

Even though Wen Zhao's strength was much stronger than Cao Cao at that time, it was not easy to destroy Yuan Shao. Maybe in the battle with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will rely on his absolute superiority and will underestimate the enemy.

However, if he fought with Wen Zhao, who was stronger than himself, at this time, he would definitely be cautious and not dare to hold it up. In this way, Wen Zhao wants to be like Cao Cao and defeat Yuan Shao in a battle, but it is unlikely.

What's more, today's Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are like glue, and they are each other's lips and teeth. If Wen Zhao launched a battle to destroy Yuan, according to Cao Cao's extraordinary vision, he would definitely know the truth of cold lips and teeth, and would not sit idly by.

In the battle with Yuan Shao alone, Wen Zhao still has the certainty of victory, if Cao Cao is added, I am afraid it will be a little difficult.

And if you want to destroy Yuan Shao, you can't just lead tens of thousands of horses to the expedition as before. Facing Yuan Shao, who is not far from his own strength, he can only have a chance of winning by fighting with all his might.

If you want to do your best, you need to mobilize at least 200,000 horses. According to the current grain stock in Guanzhong, there is no way to support the consumption of so many soldiers and horses in battle.

What's more, now although Wen Zhao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the righteous position, if he rashly raised troops to attack Yuan Shao, he would also be nameless. If the rest of the princes are terrified, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attack Guanzhong in groups.

When that time comes, it will be in danger.

Everyone was worried and felt that Jia Xu's plan was not easy to realize.

For the sake of insurance, their meaning is obvious, that is, they want to follow the established strategy of Guanzhong, first take Yizhou, and then fight with the Kwantung princes.

As for competing with Yuan Shao now, it is not the best policy.

After Jia Xu understood what everyone meant, he immediately said: "Do you think that compared with Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Yuan Shao is a greater threat to the lord?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Tian Fengcai said slowly: "Liu Zhang inherited his father's business, but he was just a man who guarded the city; Zhang Lu has a cowardly personality and no ambition, and sooner or later he will be captured by the Lord. ”

"On the other hand, Yuan Benchu of Jizhou is a dragon and a phoenix among people. In addition, after he is a famous family, he has outstanding generals and many strategists, and he will become a confidant of the lord one day. ”

Jia Xu bowed his head slightly and said, "In this case, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's lords can be destroyed sooner or later, so there is no need to worry." On the other hand, Yuan Benchu, now is the time for him to develop and grow rapidly. ”

"If he doesn't take advantage of the current moment to reduce his wings, after he destroys Liu Xuande, he will definitely unite with Cao Mengde and put the next target on the lord. With these two people eyeing each other, how could the lord find the opportunity to attack Yizhou again? ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, they used to think that it would not be difficult to capture Yizhou. But I never thought that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were not ordinary people.

Now that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are holding back the two, Guanzhong still has no worries. If Gongsun Chan dies and Liu Bei loses Yuzhou, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei will definitely set their sights on Guanzhong.

At that time, the eastern part of Guanzhong was likely to be in full swing. Chen Xu had no chance at all, and then sent troops to seize Yizhou.

Because once Guanzhong is empty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who have no obstacles, will definitely not continue to sit back and watch Wen Zhao develop and grow, and will take advantage of the opportunity for Wen Zhao to attack Yizhou and come to the city.

Even if Guanzhong, which has Hangu Pass and Kei Pass, and the merge state where Taihang Mountain is a natural danger, it is difficult to block the troops of the two princes for a long time.

Although Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are not heroes, the terrain of Yizhou is extremely steep. If Wen Zhao wants to occupy the land of Yizhou, it is unlikely. It is even very likely to last for a long time.

Then during this period of time, Guanzhong and Bingzhou may not be able to resist the troops of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

In other words, if Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are destroyed, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will aim the next target at Guanzhong. Until Wen Zhao eliminated or defeated Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it would be impossible for him to have another chance to attack Yizhou.

Thinking of this, everyone's faces became serious. They have calculated everything, but they have missed this point.

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, and several people frowned and did not speak, thinking carefully about the solution to this problem.

After a long time, Tian Fengcai said: "Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may not be able to attack the lord in an alliance, we can't hope for this illusory matter. ”

"You must know that these two people are not ordinary people, and their strength alone is not as good as that of the lord. Moreover, the lord is now coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the righteous position, and the two must regard the lord as a great enemy in life. ”

"If possible, they will definitely not hesitate to join forces. In that case, why not separate the two in advance and let them attack each other? ”

Li Ru shook his head and said, "The previous lord wiped Yuan Shao between the books, which caused Yuan and Cao to fight, and a war broke out between the two. ”

However, after several months of fighting, they did not take advantage of each other, and finally Yuan Benchu learned that this was the lord's plan. He also abandoned old grievances with Cao Mengde, shook hands and said goodbye, and formed an alliance again. ”

"After that incident, it will be difficult to separate the two again."

At this time, Cheng Yu spoke: "Since this is the case, the barrier of Yuzhou must not be lost. ”

For the sake of today's plan, we can only do our best to keep the barrier of Yuzhou, so that Wen Zhao can attack Yizhou in the future and leave a buffer zone for Guanzhong.

Not only that, but Liu Bei's power should also be strengthened as much as possible, so that he can support Wen Zhao to capture the entire Yizhou under the attack of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Until this time, everyone did not want a large-scale war with Yuan Shao. Because if you want to defeat Yuan Shao, it is too difficult for Guanzhong now.

The lack of food, and the time required to fight Yuan Shao, are not something that the current Guanzhong can bear.

Wen Zhao listened to the remarks of several people, and immediately couldn't help but say: "The situation in the world is changing rapidly, who can guess what will happen in the future?" You gentlemen are so worried, but it's a bit unfounded, right? ”
