Chapter 168: Proposal to let Bohai

Due to Yuan Shao's new entry into Jizhou, the foundation is unstable, and Gongsun Chan is menacing again, like a bamboo. After winning a few victories, the front-line counties had almost no resistance, and they all abandoned Yuan Shao and took refuge in Gongsun Zhan. For a while, the people in Yuan Shao's camp were panicked, and Yuan Shao felt that it was really time to cede the land and sue for peace. I'm afraid that after cutting the land, Gongsun Chan still won't give up and will continue to fight!

Obviously, Yuan Shao was once again in a state of indecision and didn't know how to make decisions.

At this time, because it was gradually winter, and the food was not enough, the people of the Central Plains lived in hardship, which led to the rise of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, which was huge in scale, claiming to have 300,000 troops, plus the old and weak, women and children, and more than one million people.

Due to the wide range of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, several nearby states and counties were affected, so the war between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao temporarily eased. The tense situation seemed to have returned to a negotiable situation, and Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng from the front line to urgently gather advisers to discuss how to deal with the current situation

At the meeting, everyone was sad and had different opinions.

When he was in Bohai, Yuan Shao's strategists who could shout their names were enough to divide into two teams and play a basketball game; And now that Jizhou has been co-opted, and there are heavyweight strategists such as Tian Feng, trial matching, and frustration to join, the entire conference hall is full of people, to put it nicely, it is called a pool of talents, but in Guo Jia's view, it is just like a vegetable market, is this going to play a football game, and add referees? !

After discussion, all the strategists thought that the land could not be cut!

Because even if the land is cut, Gongsun Chan will definitely continue to call, and when the time comes, the territory will be smaller, and the resources will be less, and under the ups and downs, although it can be delayed for a while, it is not a long-term solution.

Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan are not without the strength to fight, as long as they can resist Gongsun Chan's attack, with the advantage of Jizhou people having enough food, the longer it drags on, the greater the advantage, Gongsun Chan does not have the background to be able to fight like this forever.

And if you really cut the ground and ask for softness, what will the people of the world think of Yuan Shao? When the time comes, not to mention that others will come to take refuge, even within Yuan Shao's army, it is estimated that many talents will leave.

But the strategists said it easily, but Yuan Shao was a little unhappy in his heart. In Yuan Shao's view, these literati are all talking on paper, standing behind the scenes and pointing fingers, of course, it is extremely easy, where do you know the hardships on the battlefield.

Does war mean that resistance can be resisted? On the battlefield, if you say fight to the death, will the soldiers fight to the death? Now the original troops in Jizhou have not completely returned to their hearts, not to mention how strong their combat effectiveness can be, and it is good not to betray.

If he hadn't felt that the situation was very serious, would Yuan Shao have rushed back to find someone to discuss? Yuan Shao wanted to find someone to come up with a plan to solve the current problem, instead of coming back and listening to these people say, 'Keep fighting, keep fighting, persistence is victory'.

Moreover, now there is not only one Gongsun Zhan, the rise of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, even if they are all reckless people, but after all, there are many people. If the other party takes advantage of Yuan Shao's side and can't get out of his body and lifts heavy troops to attack him Jizhou, then under the internal and external troubles, Yuan Shao really can't see hope, can he still count on Gongsun Chan at that time, let him stop for a while, and wait for our side to solve the Yellow Turban Army first, and then come alone?

At this moment, a different voice sounded, "I think I can give Bohai County to Gongsun Zhan." ”

"What?!" Everyone screamed, they had already said that they could not cut the land, you are good, not only to cut the land, but also to send the original base camp out. What kind of intentions are there? Elbows outward are not so exaggerated. What is this for? Even if Gongsun Chan didn't have the strength to attack from both sides, it would be a big threat!

Looking back, these people realized that it was Guo Jia who said this! Not to mention that Guo Jia's semi-refuge state has always made people lack trust in him, let's just say that he had the experience of undercover Dong Ying, and now he actually said such a thing, it is hard to guarantee that he has secretly taken refuge in Gongsun Chan and become Gongsun Chan's undercover agent in Yuan Shao's camp!

"Impossible! Absolutely not! ”

"What the hell are you trying to do?!"

"Lord, this person can't be trusted!"

The audience immediately chattered and quarreled.

Yuan Shao waved his hand to block the words of these people, although it may only be superficial, but this is also a major advantage of Yuan Shao, respecting other people's opinions, allowing people to speak freely, always asking for advice with an open mind, and accepting all rivers.

It's one thing whether Yuan Shao listens or not, at least he will make a serious appearance every time. That alone is often enough to make people feel grateful.

"Feng Xiao, let's talk about it first, let's hear it." Yuan Shao asked with some interest, Yuan Shao felt that Guo Jia should not be untargeted, and anyway, compared to others, Guo Jia finally proposed a different plan.

Guo Jia stepped forward without giving in, pointed to a rough map in the middle, and said, "The main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is currently in Taishan County, and it has encountered stubborn resistance from Taishan Taishou Yingshao. The Yellow Turban Army was originally a group of reckless people, but now that their advance has been frustrated and they have not been able to attack for a long time, they will definitely turn to another place. ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia moved his finger to the vicinity of Bohai County, "After the main force of our army left Bohai and came to Jizhou, the Montenegrin army over there now has the appearance of raising its head again. So I speculate that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, which were frustrated in Taishan County, will definitely move to the Bohai Sea to join the Montenegrin army. In other words, in the near future, Bohai County will completely become a place of right and wrong. Our army is already under a lot of pressure to deal with Gongsun Zan now, where is there still energy to be distracted from the combination of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and the Black Mountain Army! ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia came to a conclusion, "So, it's better to pretend to show favor to Gongsun Chan and give Bohai County to him, and when the time comes, Gongsun Chan will deal with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army over there." In this way, we will have enough time to reorganize our armaments, and wait for the beginning of spring next year, and then raise troops to counterattack the past! ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, many people at the scene were speechless. Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, Guo Jia's plan is unrestrained, and he wants peace on the surface, but in fact, he has sent a scourge to the past. It not only avoids the trouble of being raided by the Yellow Turban thieves inside, but also distracts Gongsun Zhan's attention and gets the opportunity to repair, which is not a feasible plan.

"If we openly send Bohai County out like this, Gongsun Chan will definitely be suspicious, what if he also sees the problem and doesn't accept it?" The judge over there asked.

Guo Jia smiled, "Of course it can't be so obvious, but in order to show goodwill, I awarded Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan as the Taishou of Bohai." When Gongsun Fan took office on the Bohai Sea, he would immediately raise troops to rebel and echo his brother. At that time, the other party will definitely laugh at us for being stupid and let them pick up such a big bargain for nothing. ”

"Hahahaha!" Listening to Guo Jia's words, Xun Chen and the others couldn't help laughing, not only was Guo Jia funny, but also saw the dawn of the future from it, and gradually relaxed.
