Chapter 185 183. Jia Xu: Southern Alliance with Jingzhou... (Please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

In the study room.

Yuan Shao dragged his better body and sat on the main seat.

Looking at Jushou opposite, who seemed to have aged a lot, he had mixed feelings for a moment. He pouted, but still didn't say anything.

Seeing Yuan Shao's appearance, Jushou burst into tears, "General..."

"Mr. Yu." Yuan Shao almost shed tears, "Shao, I regret not listening to Gong Yu's words."

"It's the professor's fault." Juzhi bowed down, feeling aggrieved.

Comparing the military strength between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, no matter who it is, they can clearly see that Yuan Shao has the advantage, but... Yuan Shao's men are divided into internal factions:

Tian Feng is headstrong and easy to commit crimes, Xu You is greedy and undisciplined, the judge is authoritative but has no plan, and he is decisive and self-willed. There are many contradictions.

Almost all of the suggestions he made were ignored by Yuan Shao due to this internal strife. Of course he felt aggrieved.

But when he returned to Yecheng, he also reflected that although his suggestions were sound, they could not be implemented according to Yuan Shao's character, and... he did not bother to work with Xu You to judge the match, and he could not convince others.

These people.

Hearing Jushu put the responsibility on himself, Yuan Shao felt moved again.

He recalled that when he first met Ju Shou, Ju Shou had set the policy for him to conquer the four states in the north. At that time, Ju Shou was full of enthusiasm and said that he would be able to support Yuan Shao with millions of people, welcome the emperor to Chang'an, and restore the ancestral temple in Luoyi.

Command the world to attack those who are not loyal...

Now...he had already decided on the four states north of the river, but when he was scanning the Central Plains, he was overthrown by Cao Cao.

"It's Xu You's fault." Yuan Shao came to a conclusion, and when he thought of Xu You, he gritted his teeth.

Ju Shaomo, without Xu You, the outcome of this battle with Cao Cao is still uncertain.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, sir," Yuan Shao took out the letter from the desk and handed it to Jushu.

Jushou took it and said, "Cao Cao, you are really lucky."

"Yes, that kid with a yellow mouth in Jingzhou has already planned this..." Yuan Shao also smiled bitterly, "From what I can see, this plan is bound to work...but it was ruined by Jia Wenhe."

"General, there is no need to lose heart." Jushu consoled him, "Now that Cao Cao and his men have done such a thing, the name of Han traitors has been confirmed."

"good."

"Now, Jingzhou has retaken Wancheng, and Liu Yuzhou and Liu Jingzhou have joined forces...Cao Cao must also stabilize his rear. In the next year or two, he may not be able to use weapons." Jushou analyzed.

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, and then thought of his 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers... He clutched his chest and felt heartbroken.

"The general ascended to the throne with a weak title, and now he has gathered millions of people to unite the land of the four states. Although he was defeated in this battle, he still held the land of the four states and was famous in the world. This battle... is not a crime of war, but Xu You's fault.

.”

Ju Shou also set the tone for this matter. If Xu You's incident happened, except for Cao Cao's group, the world would only despise Xu You and not think bad of Yuan Shao.

"Therefore, the general should cultivate himself for a few years and live with the people before he can attack Cao Cao again."

Yuan Shao nodded.

"At the same time, Sun, Liu, and Ma Teng were joined in the south, and the princes from all over the world jointly supported the Han Dynasty and listed Cao Cao's crimes. A few years later,... they raised troops to attack him together." Jushou continued to make plans.

He also saw what happened this time, whether it was Jingzhou or Soochow, they all had ambitions.

Although, it cannot be said that these princes are ambitious on the surface.

However, it is still possible to wait for Yuan Shao to cultivate for a few years and then call on these people to attack Cao Cao together.

"If you tell me, I will obey you," Yuan Shao said sincerely.

Seeing the sincerity in Yuan Shao's eyes, Jushou sighed, and then bowed in admiration, "I wish to ride for my lord."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

…

Jiangdong.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others also got the news.

Yes, no one thinks Cao Cao is unlucky.

"That kid's plan is useless when it comes to Cao Cao." Sun Ce sneered.

Zhou Yu frowned, and then sighed, "Even if the identities of Gong Jin and Huang Chu are reversed, I have to say that that plan was the best response at the time."

Sun Ce nodded, "Even so, he still lost."

"After this battle, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be confirmed as a Han traitor." Zhou Yu then smiled and said, "It won't be long before an envoy from the north will arrive."

Sun Ce sighed.

In the past two years, it was quite uncomfortable for him to lose troops and generals. Even Chai Sang was taken away by Gan Ning. In addition, Zhu Shao's incident... even more damaged his reputation in Jiangdong.

If he didn't still have some troops, he might not be able to suppress the noble families in his hands.

"In a few years, will there be another eighteen princes coming out to challenge Dong?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"What about Jiangdong?" Sun Ce asked for advice seriously.

"Today, I brought an old friend here for Bo Fu." Zhou Yu smiled.

"oh?"

"Zijing!" Zhou Yu stood up and shouted outside.

When Sun Ce heard this, he was also overjoyed and stood up. Then he saw the burly Lu Su. The three of them looked at each other and laughed, "Let's go in and sit down."

Lu Su stroked his short beard and responded with a smile.

He had prepared to serve Sun Ce as early as two years ago, but his grandmother passed away and he had to return to his hometown to deal with it. Now Sun Ce has unified Jiangdong and became the youngest prince in the world.

…

Xuchang.

Cao Cao dealt with a number of necessities, enriched his treasury, and rewarded Jia Xu extremely generously.

During these days, he also knew that if Jia Xu had not been there that day, Xuchang would have been captured by Jingzhou soldiers.

As for what "Huang Chu" said about instigating a relationship between him and Jia Xu, Cao Cao made another oath in front of all the ministers... showing that he, Cao Mengde, had no intention of pursuing the matter.

Jia Xu felt relieved now.

Zhang Xiu, who was behind, was also relieved.

"Yuan Benchu ​​has lost this battle and will not repeat it again in a short time." Cao Cao looked at the important civil and military ministers in the hall, "What should I do now?"

"Rectify the internal affairs and recuperate." Xun Yu said directly, "This battle... has cost countless money and food, but Xun Yu can hardly hold on anymore."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Thank you for your hard work Wen Ruo."

As his great steward, Xun Yu was really working hard, and recuperating was indeed his top priority at the moment.

"Since Wen Ruodu said so, Jia naturally agreed." Guo Jia smiled, and then his eyes sternly said, "It's just that Jingzhou and Jiangdong dare to covet the emperor this time, so they should be warned by the emperor's order."

Cao Cao nodded.

Even though his reputation has been ruined a lot after this time, the emperor is still in his hands.

He just wants to disgust those people.

"Moreover, my lord needs to speed up his development...otherwise..." Guo Jia added.

Otherwise, in a few years, the enemy we will face will not only be Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao also remained silent.

The civil servants were also silent.

Only the generals, most of them have not thought of that level yet.

"We can't all be enemies." Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao, "How can a general compete with the world with his own strength?"

Cao Cao sighed, "But now..."

"General, you should base yourself in the division, Yu, Qing, Xu, Lian Ma Teng, hand over to Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, Jie Shixie, if possible..." Jia Xu stopped talking.

"It's okay to say Wen He."

"If you can, be Liu Biao of Nanlian."

"What!" At that moment, a military general objected, "Jingzhou soldiers have already reached Xuchang, do you still want to join forces with Liu Biao?"

"This must not be the case!"

"Exactly! Lord..."

Seeing these people, Cao Cao nodded, "Wen He's words are reasonable."
