I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

"Use troops against Yanzhou?"

In the main seat, Yuan Shao frowned immediately after hearing Guan Yu's words.

"Yun Chang, can you tell me the reason for using troops against Yanzhou?"

According to Yuan Shao's own idea, the next step should be to use troops against Qingzhou.

By capturing Qingzhou, using Jizhou and Qingzhou as base areas, and then focusing on development for several years, we should be able to completely defeat Youzhou in the north.

When the time comes, first destroy Youzhou in the north and then capture Sili Province, Yuan Shao will have the real capital to plot the world.

Attacking Yanzhou completely overturned Yuan Shao's previous assumptions.

"There are three reasons. First, not long after the death of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, there were rumors in Yanzhou that Liu Dai died at the hands of Cao Ang. At this time, under the banner of avenging Liu Dai, we marched into Yanzhou with troops, and our troops came out with a reputation. Be able to occupy the moral high ground.”

"The second reason is that Yanzhou is rich. If we can occupy Yanzhou and develop Yanzhou for a few more years, there will be no princes in the world who can fight against us."

"The third reason is that, according to my understanding, Yanzhou is planning to plot Qingzhou. It can be seen that Cao Ang of Yanzhou is an ambitious man. If we ignore him now, Cao Ang will become a serious problem for us in the future."

The third reason is Guan Yu's random guess.

But Guan Yu was struck by mistake.

Cao Ang is indeed preparing to march into Qingzhou.

After looking at everyone in the hall, Guan Yu continued: "Qingzhou will not run away. It is already in our pocket. We can take Qingzhou at any time. Therefore, Yanzhou is the real top priority."

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Yuan Shao reached out and touched his chin, and finally asked everyone in the hall: "Do you have different opinions?"

As Yuan Shao finished speaking, Tian Feng was about to take a step forward, but saw Zhang Fei beside Yuan Shao staring at Tian Feng with wide eyes.

Tian Feng was shocked when he saw this, and quickly took a step back and lowered his head.

Seeing that no one stood up to object, Yuan Shao thought carefully for a moment. Out of his trust in Guan Yu, Yuan Shao finally nodded and asked: "Yun Chang, if I agree to use troops against Yanzhou, how many more can you do against Yanzhou's army?" Chances of winning.”

Yuan Shao finished speaking, and Guan Yu without even thinking about it reached out and touched his beard and said loudly: "Cao Ang of Yanzhou is not one-tenth as good as his father Cao Cao. The soldiers and horses of Yanzhou are just local chickens and dogs. Our army in Jizhou is well-trained. I When Fang's soldiers face Yanzhou's soldiers and horses, I am [-]% sure that I can kill Yanzhou's soldiers and horses until they lose their helmets and armor."

"If the governor trusts me, give me three months. After three months, I can escort Cao Ang to the governor and let the governor deal with Cao Ang. By then, the land in Yanzhou will also belong to the governor."

"it is good!"

Yuan Shao stood up excitedly.

"Concerning the southward campaign against Yanzhou, I will leave it to Chang Yun to take full responsibility. Everyone present must cooperate with Chang Yun. Chang Yun's order is equivalent to my order. What Yunchang's army needs for the expedition , you must try your best to satisfy him."

"in addition……"

This time, before Yuan Shao could finish his words, a messenger suddenly shouted outside the door: "Xun You, the envoy of Yanzhou, wants to see the governor?"

"Xun You, the envoy from Yanzhou? Why is Xun You coming to Jizhou at this time?"

Yuan Shao naturally knew Xun You. Moreover, Yuan Shao also knew that Xun You was a very capable person.

Earlier, Yuan Shao heard that Xun You had defected to Cao Ang, and Yuan Shao was sulky for several days.

Because in Yuan Shao's opinion, he is several times better than Cao Ang.

Xun You did not come to defect to himself, but instead defected to Cao Ang. This can also be explained from the side that Xun You valued Cao Ang more and despised Yuan Shao.

This made Yuan Shao, who was already good at jealousy, very angry.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Shao said to the messenger: "Let Xun You come over. I want to see what is his purpose in coming to Jizhou this time?"

Just as the messenger turned around and left, Guan Yu said from the side: "Yanzhou is about to use troops against Qingzhou. Cao Ang must also know that we are also interested in Qingzhou. Therefore, if I am not wrong, the purpose of Cao Ang's sending people to Jizhou this time is very likely They want to paralyze us and prepare for their invasion of Qingzhou."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and asked again: "Yun Chang, don't you guess what reasons Cao Ang will use to try to persuade me?"

There is actually no basis for what Guan Yu said.

And the reason why he was willing to say so much was just to let Yuan Shao know that he was a very independent person.

Guan Yu didn't even know that he was right.

After a moment of silence, and then reaching out to touch his long beard, Guan Yu whispered: "Xun You of Yanzhou will most likely use Youzhou to the north to make a big fuss. He will definitely describe Youzhou as the place we are facing. A huge disaster.”

"It's ridiculous. Xun You must not know that after a period of development of our strength, we can already defeat Youzhou completely."

"The strong are lonely, and the weak form alliances. If Yanzhou really wants to find an ally, it should actually go to Youzhou. Because in the near future, both Youzhou and Yanzhou will be wiped out by us."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly.

Yuan Shao agreed very much with what Guan Yu said.

Not long after Guan Yu finished speaking, Xun You strode into the spacious meeting hall under the leadership of the messenger soldiers.

First, he clasped his fists at everyone in the meeting hall. After doing the courtesy, Xun You suddenly changed the subject and said loudly: "Yuan Governor must be very curious about the purpose of my coming to Jizhou today. To be honest, my purpose of coming to Jizhou this time is It is to promote the alliance between Jizhou and Yanzhou to fight against the powerful enemy from the north, Youzhou."

Hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shao couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu saw this, he stretched out his hand to touch his beard and nodded slightly. It seemed that everything in this incident was within Guan Yu's expectation.

"Together we can fight against Youzhou?"

Yuan Shao sneered at Xun You, "Together we can fight against Youzhou. I'm afraid this is your tactic to slow down the attack."

Yuan Shao's words made Xun You slightly shocked.

But on the surface, Xun You's expression remained unchanged.

"I don't know what Governor Yuan means?"

"Hmph, don't think that everyone in the world is a fool. You, Yanzhou, are planning to use troops against Qingzhou. You are afraid that our Jizhou will interfere, so you pretend to be an alliance. The purpose is to stabilize us and delay time so that you can take Qingzhou."

"Xun You, we have seen through your purpose of coming to Jizhou. I don't know, what else do you have to say now?"

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xun You frowned immediately.

Seeing Xun You frowning, a smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Shao's face.

"Xun You, if you are okay, you can go back. I'm afraid that little baby Cao Ang can't live without you."
