Overlord!

Chapter 297 Yuan Shao’s Ambition

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Zhuge Jin was immediately happy.

Even though Sun Ce personally sent [-] troops north to launch an attack at Zhang Hong's suggestion, it was a last resort and a tactical attack.

Strategically, if he could live in peace with Yuan Shao, he would not want to start a war at all. The attack on Yuan's army that besieged Xiaohuang County was also to repel Yuan Shao's invasion and stop Yuan Shao's ambitions.

This is a standard way of promoting peace through war and disrupting Yuan Jun's strategic offensive.

And if Zhuge Jin could use his sharp tongue to make Yuan Jun take the initiative to retreat and avoid a confrontation between the two armies, it would be a great achievement.

He immediately said: "The general can use loyal strategies and does not confuse the crowd. He is truly the hero of the world. Please order the withdrawal of the siege of Huang County immediately to prevent our two armies from clashing and damaging the general's prestige."

Just when Yuan Shao was about to agree, Ju Shou strode out from within his curtain and shouted sternly: "No, Mr. Yuan!"

"The book of the Art of War states that if you attack ten sieges and five attacks, the enemy will be able to fight. Now with Ming Gong's divine martial arts and Lian Heshuo's powerful troops, the soldiers are eager to work hard, but if they do not decide on the great cause in time, it will be difficult to achieve it later."

"Moreover, Sun Ce attacked the emperor in advance and failed the world. It is not unjust to punish the righteous teachers. It is said that if God does not take what he has given, he will suffer the consequences."

"General, if you don't fight this year and don't conquer next year, Sun Ce will surely become powerful and conquer the world. Liu and Wang will learn from this!"

Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that the person who advocated Yuan Shao's attack was actually Jushou, Jiangdong's most important ally in Hebei.

Didn't this supervisor always advocate for a slow war?

How could he change his tune in the face of Jiangdong and advocate a quick war?

Yuan Shao was displeased and rebuked: "When we attacked Cao Cao, I told you to march south, which was against your will. It would be better to keep it for a long time, take advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers, support the people of the four states, and count on the temple to win. Why is it today?" Also, are you planning to send troops hastily to attack our old alliance and build an army that cannot be defeated?"

Jushou hurriedly advised: "This moment is the same as that moment! At the beginning, our alliance was strong and Cao Cao was surrounded by enemies on all sides. However, his power declined. One thing is declining, the other is increasing. My chances of winning are increasing with each passing year, so the benefits are slowing down."

"However, now that Wuhou has obtained the land of Yan and Yu, the people under his rule have not attached themselves to it, and they are just trying to recuperate! If he is given two years to win the people's hearts, with the population of the Central Plains, plus the copper, iron, and sea salt from Jiangdong, Wuhou will definitely be powerful When it becomes more prosperous, it can gain an army of more than [-], making it invincible."

"Although the scholars of Hebei Province arose from the turmoil, they are unable to withstand the fierce front!"

"General, do you think that the ability of the generals in Hebei is enough to be a victorious army in Jiangdong with more than [-] people? Use the weak to counter the strong, and steal for the public to fear."

This sentence is very heartbreaking!

Yuan Shao suddenly became furious. After this battle, Yuan Shao certainly knew that although the northern troops were numerous, they were not as brave and decisive as the southern troops.

The generals leading the army in Hebei are no match for Cao Cao, let alone Sun Ce, a fierce and fierce young general. Especially Sun Ce, who is fierce and powerful, and can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger. Even Yuan Shao feels that his sharp edge is too obvious to compete with him. .

Comparing the two, Yuan Shao deeply felt that he had become a hero and no longer had the fierceness of a young man.

This is why Yuan Shao was willing to meet Zhuge Jin when he heard that Sun Ce personally proposed a [-]-strong army to attack. Yuan Shao found it difficult to fight against this young tiger in Jiangdong.

But it was clear that Yuan Shao was still full of anger when Ju Shou said this fact so openly.

Who is Yuan Shao? He is the northern overlord who is universally recommended by the world, and has always been the number one hero in the world.

Now his counselor actually bluntly said that he was not as good as a young man who was still young!
  How could he endure Yuan Shao's arrogance?
  And the public is afraid of stealing!

Jushou had said this sentence several times before. Before attacking Cao Cao, Jushou had remonstrated several times and used this threatening word.

It's just that Yuan Shao didn't take it to heart when he heard this sentence before, but today, when he heard it, he felt that it was ridiculing and harsh!
  Maybe it was because Yuan Shao was strong and Cao was weak in the past, so Yuan Shao didn't take this sentence seriously at all.

But now that Ju Shou said that he was no longer as powerful as Sun Ce's son in the south, Yuan Shao's anger was immediately uncontrollable.

When Jushuo saw Yuan Shao's angry face, he not only did not stop, he even said in time: "Therefore, given the current situation, the gains and losses of Yan and Hezhou are not only related to the strength of the north and south, but also related to the career of the general and emperor! Even if the attack is invincible, Yan and Yu can still be defeated. The turmoil in Henan made it impossible for Sun Ce to control these two states and raise an army of [-]."

Of course Jushou knew that with the talent of the Northern Army, they might not be able to defeat the Jiangdong Tiger and Wolf Division.

But he had only one purpose. As long as Yuan and Sun turned against each other, the battle between the two armies would immediately turn the Yan and Yu area into a battlefield, making it impossible to settle down.

With the strength of the Humas soldiers of the Northern Army, they were able to harass the entire plain and make it impossible for them to sleep peacefully.

The two armies are fighting. Sooner or later, the Northern Army will have strong generals among the ranks.

However, Jiangdong had to transport grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to the north. The journey of thousands of miles cost countless people. As long as Jiangdong cannot stabilize these two states, Yuan Jun will definitely have an advantage in the north if the stalemate continues.

Not only does the northern army have the advantage of cavalry, but more importantly, it only takes more than a hundred miles to send troops from the north. But to send troops from the south to the north, they have to cross nearly two thousand miles across the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.

If the consumption continues, it will only lead to the depletion of Jiangdong's financial resources.

This is why Zhang Hong suggested to Sun Ce very early when he was still attacking Cao Cao, to transport grain and recruit people to enrich the land of Cai and Ru. If the front line is not stabilized, Jiangdong will be very difficult in the confrontation.

And just as Jushu said, the population of Yan and Yu is what Sun Ce urgently needs. The ownership of these two states will directly determine the ownership of the world.

With the entire territory of Yuzhou and a small half of Yanzhou, Sun Ce's territory can be extended to Jishui and even along the Yellow River. This is a territory that even the Southern Song Dynasty did not have.

Although the north is strong and the south is weak, if the world is divided in the middle by the Huaihe River, there will only be three states south of the Huaihe River, but if the Central Plains is also included in the southern territory, it will not be divided between the north and the south.

With this territory, Sun Ce could recruit hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers. What would that look like? The founding of the Northern Song Dynasty was nothing more than this.

Sun Ce was very ambitious in his strategy, he was vigorous in military affairs, he lectured on martial arts from a high platform, and he selected scholars in Linxuan. On the battlefield, young people are energetic, but in the past, they were aggressive and took the lead, but they were still holding back their troops.

Jiangdong is bound to be prosperous, and the three armies will swallow the captives in anger! It is said that "the country's military strength is so strong that it can travel thousands of miles with a single force." This is so arrogant that even if Guangwu Zhongxing was restored, it would not be like this.

Therefore, the current situation is that strategically, it is advantageous for Yuan Shao to take the initiative to attack, while Sun Ce is forced to choose to take the initiative to attack tactically.

After listening to Ju Shou's words, Zhuge Jin finally understood why Yuan Jun went against the norm and took the initiative to attack Jiangdong's army regardless of the alliance's righteousness.

Obviously, these are all Jushou's strong suggestions. In terms of current strategy, Yuan's army is suitable to attack Sun Ce urgently. Taking advantage of the great victory over Cao Cao, the rebels and bandits have not dispersed, making the two states of Yan and Yu unstable.

If the two phases last for a long time and each recuperates, time is obviously on Jiangdong's side.

Zhuge Jin didn't even know how the whole world would respond if Wu Hou really recruited more than [-] elite infantrymen.

At least in this battle, the performance of Yuan Jun's generals was simply unable to resist the elite divisions led by many fierce generals and generals in Jiangdong.

This was Ju Shou's conspiracy, and it was a fact that Yuan Shao was forced to admit whether he recognized it or not.

If Yuan Shao still has ambitions, he must not allow peace in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Hebei has strong mountains and rivers, cultivates agricultural warfare internally, reduces its elites, and divides its troops surprisingly well. As long as the Central Plains is restless and each of them recovers and develops, Yangzhou and Jingzhou in Huainan may not be able to compare with Jizhou.

It happened that our own attack on the emperor gave him the name to march to Hebei, so Yuan Shao was persuaded to raise his army and go south. Not only to defeat Sun Ce, but at least to give the rebels and bandits the opportunity to raise troops to rebel, causing turmoil and rebellion in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. The clouds rise.

In this case, the ownership of the world is still undecided.

But fortunately, Zhuge Jin also had outstanding political and strategic talents. He may not be as good as Zhuge Liang in marching and fighting, but his insight into people's hearts, political scheming, and diplomatic skills were definitely outstanding.

Zhuge Jin has the most direct way to solve Ju Shou's conspiracy, which is also a conspiracy against people's hearts!

He immediately raised his hands and said: "Mr. Yuan, I heard that the strategy for winning the temple does not depend on the strength. Now that my lord's decree has been implemented, the soldiers are refined, and there is no worry about the rear, it is not like Gongsun Zan and others who are sitting around and being surrounded. If the two strong forces fight, Then there will be no peace in the world. If Duke Yuan loses his troops and generals, it will further damage his prestige."

"I heard that poverty all over the world will last forever. The world is uneasy today. Lu has been away from the Han Dynasty for a long time. The world is in charge, and the government is at home. Heroes compete to divide the territory. This is no different from the Seven Kingdoms on the weekend, only the strong have the ears. "

"The fifth generation of the Yuan family is the auxiliary of the people. He is obedient to the heavens and the people. He is the king of Yixing. Fu Ruibingran. Now the king owns four states and has millions of households. If you are strong, don't compete with others for bigness. If you are strong, there is no comparison. Emperor Dong was established by the traitor, and the country was not in good order. Although he wanted to support the decline and reward him with little reward, he was able to continue his destiny, but it has been destroyed. I sincerely return to the great destiny and help him to prosper. You should praise the blessings of Qi Huan and imitate the achievements of Gaozu. .”

Zhuge Jin was very clear about Yuan Shao's thoughts and pointed directly at his vital points.

What is Yuan Shao's biggest concern now?
  Of course, change the house book! Founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor.

Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty Cao Cao and Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu lost their enterprising spirit in their later years when their great cause was initially determined and it was difficult to dominate the world. The Han Dynasty became king and emperor.

Doesn’t he, the fifth generation of Yuan Shao’s family, have no ambition to become emperor?

You must know that Yuan Shao is already past his prime. If he doesn't proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible and become addicted to being emperor, he may never have another chance in the future!

Jushou suddenly changed his expression and said quickly: "This is a monstrous and arrogant thing, and his heart must be punished! Virtue is not the key to hegemony. If you can use virtue to unite the desires of the world, even if you are an ordinary man, you can be an overlord. Ruoling If you are arrogant without restraint, you will act when you do it, and everyone will abandon it, who can prosper it?"

Zhuge Jin smiled calmly and didn't take Jushou's advice to heart at all, because he still had one last key killer move!
  Once this move is made, Yuan Shao will be stunned and his desire to become emperor will no longer be restrained. (End of chapter)
