Chapter 1329: Decision
Seeing that three of the four previous ones had agreed, Xu Shu smiled and said: "In this case, my opinion has nothing to do with the overall situation. However, even so, I still have to express my ideas. I also agree that since Gongsun Zan can no longer do it well To contain the Wei army, we should try our best to control the three counties of Youbeiping."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Okay!" Huangfu Chaobo stretched out his hand to stop everyone's laughter: "Now that the decision has been made, let's think about it and how to act best!"
"Your Majesty, first of all we must tell Gongsun Zan about the news that the Wei State is about to send troops to Youzhou. However, our people cannot go there. It is better to pass the news to Gongsun Fan first. However, the Shadow Guards have collected information about the Wei State. Regarding the movements of some court officials and soldiers, it is speculated that troops may be sent northward after the new year, but there is no complete evidence yet. Gongsun Fan will just inform Jicheng." Guo Jia said to Huangfu Chaobo with a smirk on his face. ;
"You, Guo Fengxiao, can kill two birds with one stone." Pang Tong was the first to react and scolded Guo Jia with a smile;
The other people also nodded in agreement, but Huangfu Chaobo did not react for a while. Seeing this, the good old man Lu Su quickly explained: "Your Majesty, Fengxiao's plan seems to be a big circle, but the effect is much better than letting us directly warn Jicheng. First, it does work. As a reminder, even if Gongsun Zan doesn't want to believe it, he will be more wary of Wei. When the war starts, the fierce battle between the two armies will be even more fierce. In this way, more people will be able to It consumes the strength of the Wei army."
"Secondly, through this move, we can deepen the gap between Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Fan. Originally, Gongsun Zan was already somewhat dissatisfied with Gongsun Fan's contact with us. Previously, Gongsun Fan recruited our army and Yan The governor of several counties in the country sent troops to meet Gongsun Zan. Although it was an act of urgency, it also made Gongsun Zan very dissatisfied with his second brother. This can be seen from Gongsun Zan's move to mobilize soldiers, horses, money and food from various counties. "
"Now, if we pass the news that Wei is about to send troops to Gongsun Fan through Gongsun Fan, it will make him even more wary of Gongsun Fan. However, our move is also justified, because all the information is just a shadow Wei collected it and then deduced it from various signs, so we just accidentally disclosed the unconfirmed information to Gongsun Fan, so everything fell into place. "
After listening to Lu Su's words, Huangfu Chaobo thought to himself that it was indeed the genius Guo Fengxiao who came up with such an idea in the blink of an eye.
"Well, let's give Huang Xu an order and ask him to go to Youbeiping. Remember to be natural and don't make it too obvious." Huangfu Chaobo chuckled;
The rest of the people also gave a knowing smile. Just when Huangfu Chaobo was about to speak, Xun You suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that needs attention!"
"What's the matter?"
"Heishan Camp, on the side of General Zhang Yan, if Gongsun Zan is attacked by the Wei army, he will probably ask for help from the Black Mountain Army, so..."
"That's right," Huangfu Chaobo nodded. After a moment of reflection, he raised his head and said to Shi Aiqing, "Shi Aiqing, in a moment you will send a royal order to Zhang Yan, instructing him that if Gongsun Zan really sends someone to ask for help, he must send troops to help. But we can’t really help.”
"No!" Shi A quickly bowed and responded;
"Do you think there is anything else missing?"
"Your Majesty,
Lu Su stood up and said: "Since Gongsun Zan may ask for help from us and the Black Mountain Army, Gongsun Fan will probably also request troops from the vassal states of Yanbei and Liaodong for help. In this case, we must also make plans in advance." "
"Well, your words make sense."
"In this case, our strategy for next year can be slightly adjusted. The cavalry of Yanbei and Liaodong vassal states can be mobilized to detour from the grassland and participate in the battle of Bingzhou. In this way, the Zhao army can be caught off guard. Secondly, Now that the cavalry has been transferred, even if Gongsun Fan asks Yanbei to send troops, he will be able to send thousands of infantry. In this way, by the time the army arrives at Youbeiping, the war will probably be over." Guo Jia suddenly laughed. road;
"Ruchui is a good idea, but General Huang Xu must reveal something to him first when talking to Gongsun Fan, so as not to inevitably have some grudges in the hearts of everyone in the Yan Kingdom." His own beard added;
"Well, the matter has been settled like this. Since next year's Bingzhou war has been mentioned, I just want to listen to what you guys think." Huangfu Chao said;
"We have been planning the battle for the Zhao Kingdom for a long time, and now the Yan Kingdom is even more uncertain, so we must step up our efforts. Another point is that instead of pinning our hopes on our allies, it would be more appropriate for us to take control ourselves. , Therefore, Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the war against Zhao should be fought sooner rather than later." Xu Shu took the lead and said;
The rest of the people heard this and nodded slightly in agreement. Guo Jia smiled and said: "Of course. In that case, let Gongsun Zan buy some more time for our army, so that our army can complete the task within one As for the control of Bingzhou, we can only deal with Wei and Qi with peace of mind in the next time."
"In the opinion of the ministers, this time the troops are sent to Bingzhou, it is best to attack Bingzhou quickly with a thunderous strike?" Huangfu Chaobo asked tentatively;
"Yes," Guo Jia said, "Your Majesty, this battle is different from the previous ones. The key is to be quick. If Gongsun Zan can drag on with Yuan Shao for three to five years, it will be fine. I have enough time to make arrangements. However, if Gongsun Zan is defeated quickly by the attack of the Wei army, it will be a great challenge for us."
"Well, yes!" Huangfu Chaobo stood up and slowly walked to the lower map hanging on the wall on one side, and his eyes were on Bingzhou. "In your opinion, how should we proceed?"
Guo Jia and his men also stood up one after another. Walking to the map, Guo Jia picked up a wooden stick from the side, pointed to Bingzhou and explained to Huangfu Chaobo: "Reply to Your Majesty, after discussing with Shi Yuan, Gong Da and Yuan Zhi, I have determined a plan and am about to report it to Your Majesty."
"Speak!" Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Guo Jia bowed and said, "In this battle, we intend to attack in several directions..."
. . . In Jinyang, in the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao Lü Bu was gathering important officials to discuss matters. Even Zhang Liao, who was supposed to stay in Shuofang, and Zhang Yang of Shanggu had returned to Jinyang. In the palace, Lü Bu sat on the throne. In the halls on both sides of him, the prime minister Chen Gong, the state commander Wei Xu, the chief censor Qin Yi, the general who conquered the north Zhang Liao, the general who pacified the south Cao Xing, the lieutenant of Sili and the commander of Taiyuan Li Feng, and the general who pacified the east and the governor of Shanggu Zhang Yang sat on both sides. "Your Majesty!" Chen Gong said to Lu Bu on the throne, "According to the news sent back by the wolf pack from Luoyang, I am almost certain that the King of Tang is preparing to launch an attack on our country next year, and this attack must be a full-strength attack by the Tang Kingdom." "Bang!" Lu Bu heard this and punched the table in front of him. He roared with a red face, "Huangfu Chaobo really thinks that I am made of clay. He has sent troops to attack again and again. This war has just ended, and he wants to start another war. This is really too much!"
