At the end of August.
It had been more than a month since the denunciation of Zhang's surrender.
The details of Yuan Shao's death and Jizhou falling into Gongsun Jing's hands were leaked.
All the vassals in the world trembled in fear. They were even more wary of Gongsun Jing, who dominated the two prefectures.
Yanzhou.
Chenliu County City.
In the main hall of the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Cao Cao put down the Jizhou battle report and rubbed his forehead,""This Gongsun Changping will be the nightmare of the entire world. Whether it's forcing Yuan Jun to rebel or his final move to convince others, he can be said to be the best in the world!”
Xun Yu said respectfully,"My Lord, Ren City has been recovered. It's time for us to rest!"”
"Yes, I am!"
Xi Zhicai nodded and said in a deep voice,""Gongsun Jing has taken down Jizhou and I heard that he is building the Ye Marquis Mansion. He is preparing to build an existence above the Prefecture Overseers of Jizhou and Qingzhou. It is enough to show that he already has the ambition to swallow the world!”
"Wen Ruo!"
Cao Cao suddenly asked,"If I were Yuan Benchu, would I die in the censure?"”
"This!"
Xun Yu's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled bitterly." I'll die in a reprimand. Gongsun Changping has exceeded our expectations time and time again. His methods are far more terrifying than we imagined. What do you think he'll do next? Take Youzhou or send troops to Yanzhou?"”
"Youzhou!"
Xun Yu frowned and said," Liu Yu is a big tree planted in the territory of the Gongsun Family. If he is not uprooted, Gongsun Jing will not be able to expand outside in peace. I heard that Liu Yu's son has returned to Youzhou. The Emperor wants Liu Yu to send Gongsun Zan to help the Emperor!”
"Send?"
Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned.
Xun Yu nodded and said in a deep voice,"There is an imperial edict from the emperor, which means that he is dispatched!"”
"Ridiculous!"
Cao Cao shook his head and sneered." Have those officials in Chang 'an been locked up? The world is now divided. All the vassals are fighting for their cities. They want to expand their territories crazily. Who are Gongsun Zan and his son? How could they be mobilized by Liu Yu?!"”
Xi Zhicai rubbed his chin and frowned."My Lord, does Gongsun Changping have the ability to defeat the Western Liang army?”
"I think so!"
Cao Cao said with uncertainty.
"He won't go!"
Chen Qun suddenly stood up and walked to the side of the map of the Great Han Dynasty. He said in a deep voice,"" Gongsun Changping looks down on the Imperial Court, and the Darkhan Dynasty has long disappeared from his heart. The so-called Marquis Ye Manor is only a method to rule the two provinces, and his goal is absolutely to forge the Central Plains into an iron plate!”
"Oh?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
"Lord, Wen Ruo, Zhicai!"
"Gongsun Changping has taken down the Black Mountain Army, and his intentions are already directed at Bing Province!”
"Gongsun Zan's general, Zou Dan, led 15,000 troops to Dai County for Bing Province!”
" After Gongsun Changping has unified the two provinces, he will definitely return to Youzhou to deal with Liu Yu. Then, he will send troops to recover Bingzhou. As long as he controls the four provinces and becomes the overlord of the Central Plains, he will be able to leap over the great river and swallow the world!”
"This person is really a genius. His strategic intentions are very obvious!”
"From the very beginning, he didn't treat Yuan Shao as an opponent, and his goal wasn't just Jizhou!”Chen Qun took a deep breath and analyzed.
"Four prefectures!"
"The dukes of the four prefectures!"
"Can we still stop Gongsun Changping's development?" Cao Cao frowned.”
Chen Qun shook his head and said in a low voice," Yanzhou is too weak. Jizhou is the largest province in the world, and its infantry is especially powerful. With the cavalry of Youzhou, if we dare to invade Jizhou, it will definitely be a disaster!”
Cao Cao exhaled and asked,"Could it be that this child is really invincible in the world?"”
"Of course not!"
Chen Qun shook his head and smiled faintly." Bingzhou has fallen for many years. The various tribes of Donghu are all over the counties. It's not that easy to recover them. Youzhou is also not that stable. Not to mention that Liu Yu is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and there are Xianbei people eyeing the frontier. Just Liaodong alone is enough to affect 30% of Gongsun Jing's strength!”
"Gongsun Du?"
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up.
Chen Qun nodded and said," My Lord, Gongsun Changping still has a long way to go before he can dominate the Central Plains. We need to strengthen ourselves quickly during this period of time. As long as we can take down Si Li, Xu Zhou, Yu Zhou, and the Guanzhong region, we have nothing to fear from Gongsun Changping. If we can bring back the emperor, we can command Western Liang's Ma Teng to suppress the Youzhou cavalry. Therefore, we have to avoid his edge for the time being!”
Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and said,"Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king!”
"Cough cough!"
Xun Yu coughed dryly.
It was fine to build high walls and store up food, but it was still not desirable to be king!
"I misspoke!"
Xi Zhicai smiled awkwardly.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and suddenly laughed,""Changwen, you are really my daughter!"
"Haha!"
Instantly, the entire hall burst into laughter.
Chen Qun shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry."My lord, Yuan Shao is dead, and Yuan Shu is the only descendant of the four generations of the three dukes. We can't fight against him now. When the old man returns from Xuzhou, our army will be able to attack Xuzhou. The reason for our crusade is that he attacked my Ren City for no reason!”
"Not bad!"
Cao Cao laughed.
