Chapter 199
Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, and he urged anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's your plan?"
Feng Ji raised a sly smile and said slowly: "My lord, we can join hands with Gongsun Zan to plot Jizhou. Promise him half of Jizhou and work together for great cause. I think General Gongsun will not refuse."
Yuan Shao frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "However, Gongsun Zan is still fighting in Youzhou and has not yet completely unified. Will he easily agree to join forces with us?"
Feng Ji showed a sinister smile.
"Don't worry, lord. Although Gongsun Zan has not completed his mission in Youzhou, he is ambitious. How can he be satisfied with a small corner of the country? Jizhou is rich and is the focus of the world. If he hears the promise of equal division, he will be tempted. Moreover, the chances of winning will be doubled if the two powers join forces. Gongsun Zan is not a stupid person and will weigh the pros and cons."
"Don't forget that Liu Yu is Gongsun Zan's superior, but the two of them cooperated in the attack on Wuhuan at the beginning, and Gongsun Zan was under Liu Yu's command."
"However, as time went on, the two of them had different views on how to deal with foreign tribes such as Wuhuan. There was a disagreement. Liu Yu advocated a policy of appeasement, while Gongsun Zan advocated military conquest. This difference in political views led to the deterioration of their relationship. "
"Now Gongsun Zan has the support of Liu Yao, and with his support as an ally, his ambitions must have skyrocketed!"
"Once Gongsun Zan returns to Youzhou, he will definitely deal with Liu Yu. Once he has pacified Youzhou, Jizhou will definitely be his next target."
"So we invite him to share Jizhou together, and he will definitely be tempted!"
Yuan Shao's brows were deeply locked, like dark clouds covering the sun, and his mood was uneasy.
"Share Jizhou? Humph, if Gongsun Zan gets too aggressive and gains a foothold here, he will be like a hungry tiger pouncing on food and eroding our territory in the future!"
After all, Yuan Shao was very clear about Gongsun Zan's combat power.
Seeing this, Feng Ji raised a cunning and cold smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had a plan in mind.
"Haha, don't worry, my lord. Han Fu is always cowardly and suspicious. He loses his mind when he sees the slightest disturbance. Imagine if Gongsun Zan's iron hoof really stepped on the land of Jizhou, how could he not be startled and ask for help from my lord?"
"At that time, my lord can take advantage of the situation and take over the defense of Jizhou legitimately, and then control the lifeline of the entire Jizhou. Then, with the powerful soldiers of Jizhou as the base, march north to block Gongsun Zan's edge, wouldn't it be great?"
When Yuan Shao heard this, his face suddenly showed an irrepressible ecstasy, and his laughter resounded like thunder.
"Haha, wonderful! This plan is really like a stroke of genius, and it is very much in my heart!"
He knew very well that in the confrontation with heroes like Liu Yao, what he lacked most was a solid foundation. If he could take over Jizhou, this fertile land, and with his prominent family background and deep connections, it would not be difficult for him to compete with Liu Yao or even surpass him in time!
However, just as Yuan Shao was immersed in the beautiful vision, Xu You on the side looked solemn, stepped forward quickly, and advised with worry:
"My lord, although this plan seems tempting, it is actually dangerous and is the worst of the worst. Gongsun Zan's name is like a wolf and a tiger, and he is feared by all. His cavalry is invincible, and no one among the princes is not afraid of him. If it is not necessary, I hope my lord will think twice before acting, and don't take risks easily!"
"Gongsun Zan's name has long been resounding throughout the world. Among the princes, in terms of military strength, except for Liu Yao, the jade-faced butcher of Bingzhou, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, can be called a pair of gems, and they are feared by all.!"
"The soldiers under his command are all elite soldiers who have experienced the frost of the border and countless battles with foreign iron hooves. They are superb in riding skills and unparalleled in archery. The sharp blade in the wolf pack is invincible. "
"However, my lord, your current reputation is slightly flawed. If you take Jizhou by trickery, you may be criticized by the world and regarded as a scoundrel who takes advantage of others' misfortune and behaves improperly."
"And my lord, don't forget the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yao. If he really suffers such a big loss, won't you give Liu Yao an excuse to attack Jizhou?"
"Now our army only needs to send Yuan Shu away and wait for time to pass. A year is enough for our army to recuperate. By then, the land of Jizhou will still be in our pocket!"
"But if the war is rekindled, Liu Yao's Bingzhou cavalry will be in full force and their momentum will be like a rainbow. Our army may not be able to resist. We have to think deeply about the pros and cons!"
After listening, Yuan Shao fell into deep thought.
He just thought that he would get Jizhou and didn't think about anything else.
Now think about it, if I can develop myself peacefully for a year, I can still defeat Han Fu and completely control Jizhou.
And I won't rely on anyone, nor will I offend anyone.Who controls Jizhou.
The most important thing is that they really can't offend Liu Yao now. When their armies fought before, Yuan Shao was always at a disadvantage.
Feng Ji bowed and comforted:
"My lord, think about it carefully. Bingzhou and Youzhou are adjacent to each other. After a long time, the two may have a grudge. When that time comes, they may even fight each other.
"And Liu Yu and Liu Yao are both relatives of the Han Dynasty. If Gongsun Zan wants to dominate Youzhou, he must fight with Liu Yu. If he, Gongsun Zan, kills Liu Yu, Liu Yao will definitely be wary of him."
"Finally, if Gongsun Zan really wants to attack Jizhou, he must completely get rid of Liu Yu in Youzhou, but this will inevitably cause his reputation to suffer a very serious blow."
"And, once Liu Yu dies at the hands of Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu's confidants and diehards will definitely hate him. "
"What's more, Liu Yao's new territory is still expanding, and it will take time for its foundation to be solid. According to my estimation, it will take at least one to two years. By that time, the lord will have gathered hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command, and the ability to compete with Liu Yao will have been quietly built!"
Feng Ji's words were like spring rain, moistening things silently, and directly hit the deepest desire in Yuan Shao's heart.
"Good! I like it very much!"
Yuan Shao finally made a decisive decision, with determination and expectation flashing in his eyes.
"Yuan Tu, do you have a good plan to make Gongsun Zan march south and head straight to Jizhou?"
"Yuan Tu, can you convince Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou?"
Feng Ji hurriedly bowed and said: "Lord, the world is all for profit! Only interests are eternal in this world, I am willing to give it a try!"
"Lord, you can't! ! This is a villain's plan!"
"Okay! Stop talking! I have made up my mind."
Yuan Shao interrupted the quarrel between the two.
Xu You sighed helplessly, turned around and left without saying a word.
