Old Cao had always regarded himself as a relative of the Cao family.
To be honest, Qin Chuan had always thought that he was trying to raise his status.
However, the fact that he could take out the Cao Corporation's waist token today proved that he might really have entered the core of the Cao Corporation.
Therefore, the question that could make him frown so much probably meant that another dukedom was being dishonest.
Old Guo took a sip of tea and felt that it was not enough. He ran to get a pot of wine and took three sips before saying worriedly,
"Brother Qin, it's like this."
"Last night, the spies of Jizhou reported that Yuan Shao had withdrawn Youzhou's forces towards Qingzhou. His sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, had also brought tens of thousands of cavalry from Bingzhou to Qingzhou.”
"It looks like he's going to make a big move.”
After he finished speaking, the dark clouds on Old Cao's forehead became even thicker, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Compared to him, Qin Chuan didn't take this matter seriously at all. He sighed and said,
"I'm begging the two of you. Can you stop worrying about the country and the people all day? You've been with me for a while now, but you've really not improved. Is this small matter worth your bitter faces?”
Old Cao rolled his eyes, but he was muttering in his heart. Did Brother Qin not realize the seriousness of the problem?
After exchanging a glance, Guo Jia said knowingly,
"Brother Qin, you…did you not understand?”
"Yuan Shao has already increased his troops in Qingzhou by 200,000!”
"Our army's rations are not ready yet, and our armaments are lacking. If we start a war now, our victory is obvious!”
Guo Jia was so excited that even the wine pot started to shake.
Qin Chuan waved his hand indifferently and said,"I'm not referring to that."
" Then…" Cao Cao pondered for a while and couldn't help but say,""Then what else?"
"Old Cao, learn from me." Qin Chuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and started brewing.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other.
Get ready, he was going to start acting tough!
"I mean, you should have been prepared for this half a month ago. There was no need to wait for the spy's report.”
？？？
The two of them were dumbfounded.
He had to make preparations half a month ago?
How was that possible?
When they heard the news last night, everyone was shocked.
However, Qin Chuan didn't seem to be faking it.
Thinking back to his actions just now, it was as if he had really known this information in advance.
"Brother Qin, what do you mean?"
"Think about it, now that my lord has the Quyuan Plough, food will no longer be a problem in the future. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the army is still rising.”
"And our salt industry in Guanzhong has also begun to operate. As a result, the Qingzhou sea salt that Yuan Shao was most proud of has been abolished.”
"Don't think that these things don't have much of an impact at the moment, but as time goes on, this snowball will get bigger and bigger.”
"In three months, or at most half a year, our army will be stronger than Yuan Zhou's army. The salt industry of the thirteen provinces of the Great Han will also be in our hands.”
"At that time, if Yuan Shao wants to fight again, will he still have an advantage?”
Qin Chuan's words seemed to have cleared up the mess, and the situation instantly became clear.
The two of them nodded slowly. That was indeed the case.
Looking at the overall situation, time was beneficial to him, but not to Yuan Shao.
Even if Yuan Shao couldn't see through this problem, his subordinates Qushou, Tian Feng, and the others could.
Towards Qin Chuan's overall view, Cao Cao had already reached the point of being completely convinced.
Even Guo Jia shook his head in shame.
When they received this information last night, all the strategists were still panicking. In the end, they had already been waiting for this news.
It was simply a crushing defeat of intelligence!
"But you don't have to feel inferior. It's normal that you can't think of it. But I believe that the Lord and his strategists have already made arrangements.”
What deployment!
If you didn't say it, we would still be in the dark!
It was really awkward. One critical hit was not enough. He had to do it a second time.
"Yes, yes. I heard that last night, the lord's advisor had already offered him a plan. Perhaps he could appease Yuan Shao and buy some time for the lord.”
Guo Jia smiled embarrassedly. Since you think so highly of me, I'll tell you about last night's plan and see if you're still particular about it.
"Oh?" Qin Chuan picked up the peanuts on the table and started peeling them. He asked curiously,"What plan?"
"The Emperor has decreed that Yuan Shao be the Great General, commanding the armies of the world!”
Guo Jia said proudly.
This plan was actually using the Great Han Dynasty's royal flag.
First of all, it was impossible for Yuan Shao not to accept the imperial edict. After all, the Great Han Dynasty still existed, and he was still using the name of helping the Han Dynasty to rise.
If he accepted this edict and started a war, it would be equivalent to defying and everyone in the world could attack him.
He knew what was at stake.
As long as they could buy three months, after the autumn harvest, they would fight again, and they wouldn't have to fear Yuan Shao.
While Guo Jia was still feeling smug, Qin Chuan sneered.
"I'm afraid that this plan was thought of by some freeloader, right?”
Guo Jia was speechless.
The brilliant plan that I thought of so hard became a waste of money?
Brother Qin probably doesn't know the inner workings of this plan, right?
Even Cao Cao was not convinced by this. After all, he agreed with Guo Jia's plan.
"Old Brother Qin, from your tone, would Yuan Shao still dare to defy the decree?”
"Old Cao, don't be anxious. Listen to my analysis before you refute.”After Qin Chuan wiped his hands clean, he took a sip of tea and heaved a sigh of relief.
"This is a battle of life and death. Do you think Yuan Shao will sit still and wait for death for an edict and the title of an empty Great General?”
"If he drafts a criminal denunciation and accuses the lord of holding the emperor hostage to order the vassals, then as a minister of the Han Dynasty, he will have to purge the emperor and return the throne to the emperor.”
"Do you think that the lord's imperial edict would still be useful at that time?”
Boom!
Cao Cao and Guo Jia felt their bodies go numb.
They had never considered the problem in this way.
A criminal denunciation!
If Yuan Shao really did this, not only could he openly declare war, he could even indirectly say that the emperor in his hands was worthless!
This plan was too terrifying!
It turned out that he had always been living in a world of imagination.
But at the same time, he was also glad that he had such a rare genius in his kitchen.
Otherwise, it would really be a disaster.
"Brother Qin, I really have to hand it to you. You can actually see the problem in such depth.”
"You're right. The person who came up with this idea is really a freeloader…"
Guo Jia felt bitter in his heart. He could self-deprecate and redeem himself.
"Brother Qin!" Cao Cao gulped and grabbed Qin Chuan's hand excitedly, asking,""Then tell me, what should my lord do?”
Because I moved bricks during the day, I stayed up all night to deliver it. I still need 500 flowers to break 10,000 yuan. I hope that I can satisfy my little wish when I wake up. Thank you, big shots!
