I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 740 Yuan Benchu ​​has bad intentions, Jia Wenhe offers advice

"You guys worry too much."

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Yuan Shao quickly stepped forward and said:
"The champion is so powerful that he is respected by everyone in the country. Who in the world would not be convinced?"

"If it weren't for Lord Su's rescue, those nobles would still be wailing under Dong Zhuo's tyranny. How dare they act rashly?"

"Not to mention, our cavalry rushed to help first, and many of the court officials who moved from Chang'an are still on the way and have not yet arrived in Luoyang."

"Although it is important to support a new monarch, it cannot be done hastily, especially for the princess Wannian whom you favor. Such an unprecedented event will be difficult for many people to support even if you have the merit of defeating Dong Zhuo, not to mention that there is still Yuan Gonglu who is holding high the banner of rebellion in the world."

Yuan Shao spoke with conviction and pushed for the proposal to attack Yuan Shu.

This is not entirely for the sake of justice.

Not to mention the grudge between the two of them now that they are at odds with each other in Nanyang.

As two people who both bear the name of the Yuan family, the ideological competition between them has become increasingly fierce.

Originally, Yuan Shao could call on the aristocratic families who influenced his hometown of Runan in Nanyang and easily obtain talents and resources.

However, if he allowed Yuan Shu to escape, it would be obvious that his influence would be difficult to exert.

At this time, if he could use Su Yao's powerful army to eliminate his competitors, it would be a great thing.

In this way, Yuan Shao could use his prestige and title of General of Cavalry to easily expand his influence to eastern Henan and Huainan, and then further influence Jingzhou, Qingyan and other places.

In this way, hegemony can be expected.

This was the plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife that Yuan Shao came up with with his advisers including Guo Tu after he returned.

That’s right, Yuan Shao still hasn’t given up the idea of ​​fighting for the world.

Although he seemed to agree greatly on the surface, he even strongly recommended Su Yao's proposal to support him for ten thousand years that he had previously revealed.

But in fact, just like Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao believed that Su Yao's plan was a bad move that would lead to his own destruction.

The princes of the world, especially those of the Liu family, would never agree with such an approach.

The day the empress ascended the throne marked the beginning of another round of chaos in the world.

It was with such calculations in mind that Yuan Shao supported Su Yao's decision so much, and was determined to use Su Yao to kill his good brother Yuan Shu before he ascended the throne.

Yuan Shao's plan was almost going to succeed.

After all, as an important official whose power is second only to Su Yao, Yuan Shao's words carry great weight, both in terms of prestige and status.

Wang Ling, Qian Zhao and others were simply unable to defeat him.

Su Yao, who is a fighter, also prefers to deal with the enemy in front of him first.

However, after seeing Yuan Shao so actively giving him advice, Su Yao instinctively smelled some conspiracy.

It would be fine if this was said by any other adviser, but would Yuan Benchu ​​be so kind?
Do not believe.

Su Yao pondered for a moment, his mind racing, and suddenly he turned his gaze to Jia Xu, who had remained silent.

That’s right, Jia Xu is back too.

With the victory of the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu, who had been stationed in Hongnong and worked with Zhen Jiang to ensure logistics, was officially promoted to the position of Lieutenant General of the Army and returned to the Eastern Capital with Su Yao to serve as his attendant. The reason why Su Yao brought Jia Xu with him was not only because of the sharp analysis of this ruthless scholar, but also because Jia Xu himself did not have any factional stance.

Although Su Yao now has famous scholars and counselors such as Lu Zhi, Xun Yu and Zhong Yao under his command.

But these people undoubtedly have their own tendencies and positions.

When everyone has the same goal, they are excellent helpers. Su Yao entrusts them with important tasks and relies on them very much.

But now, when it comes to the issue of supporting the empress, they obviously cannot completely stand on their side and recognize Wannian.

When Su Yao rushed to Nanyang to provide assistance and passed through Luoyang, he just revealed his thoughts a little and immediately encountered a lot of opposition.

Su Yao could understand this, but there was no way he would change his decision.

Then, the significance of Jia Xu suddenly emerged.

Unlike Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and other advisers from Central Plains families who stuck together, Jia Xu came from a Liangzhou family, which made him incompatible with the Central Plains families. He was also a surrendered general of Dong Zhuo, so if he wanted to gain a foothold, he had no choice but to follow Dong Zhuo closely.

Therefore, Su Yao made an exception and directly brought this surrendered general into his core, hoping that Jia Xu would find out the gaps and fill them, while counteracting the influence of other forces.

If it were Jia Xu, he would definitely be able to give some very useful suggestions from his own perspective.

So, after Su Yao coughed twice, he immediately called out Jia Xu, who was standing outside the noisy crowd, closing his eyes and trying to hide himself:

"Why is the military advisor silent? I have another brilliant idea. Please tell me in detail."

Hearing this, Jia Xu slowly opened his eyes, and swept his gaze over Su Yao, Yuan Shao and others, finally settling on Su Yao, and smiled slightly, saying:

"Your Excellency, I am not silent. I am just thinking about how to achieve the best of both worlds."

"Now that you have asked, I do have some immature ideas, but I am afraid that they will only make people laugh. I hope you will spare me a word."

When Su Yao heard this, he knew that he must be going to carry Yuan Shao on his back as well, so he smiled immediately, put the meeting on hold for the time being, and went to the back house with Jia Xu.

Sure enough, Jia Xu explained Yuan Shao's thoughts thoroughly in just a few words, and Su Yao nodded:
"Then according to Wenhe's opinion, should we release Yuan Shu and return to the capital as soon as possible?"

Jia Xu shook his head slowly:
"We must return to the capital as soon as possible, but we can't let Yuan Shu go easily."

"Yuan Gonglu openly opposed you, my Lord. Although he is now seriously injured, if we allow him to stay in Ruyang, the prestige of the Yuan family will surely recover soon."

"Although Yuan Shao was ordered by the Lord to guard Nanyang, with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, it was difficult for Yuan Shao to expand his power. He was trapped in one county and could not fight against Yuan Shu."

"Therefore, the best way is to allow the two sides to maintain a relative balance of power while the prince comes down to focus on the affairs of the capital."

"On the one hand, we must strike back at Yuan Shu, and on the other hand, we must not let Yuan Shao become too powerful."

"In this case, the best way is to send a general to follow Yuan Shao and chase after Yuan Shu. After driving him out of Runan, we can stop for the time being and watch the two Yuans fight over their hometown of Runan."

"You can take this opportunity to use the human and material resources of Guanzhong and Luoyang to strengthen your strength and replenish the losses of the central army. At the same time, you can deal with those disobedient forces around Luoyang that oppose the new monarch."

"Especially the two counties of Hedong and Henei. The Three Rivers are the shield of the capital. Now that you have conquered the three prefectures of Guanzhong, you only need these two counties. Then you can take over the entire territory of the two capitals of Sili. This is the foundation for you to conquer the world."

Aim for the world.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Su Yao's lips curled up slightly.
