At this moment, Chu Feng's voice sounded again.
"Yuan Shao liked his third son, Yuan Shang, the most. After defeating Gongsun Zan, he kept Yuan Shang by his side to help him manage Jizhou and groom him as his future successor.
At the same time, he was prepared to let Yuan Tan manage Qingzhou and Yuan Xi manage Youzhou.
Ju Shou strongly opposed it, saying that letting each young master control a state was the beginning of the disaster.
However, Yuan Shao did not listen to Ju Shou's advice and still insisted on his own opinion, letting each of his sons take charge of a state.
Several years later, Yuan Shao died, and his sons killed each other for the throne.
In the fourth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao led 100,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 cavalry to attack Xudu.
Qiushou heard this and stopped him."
On the screen, Ju Shou stepped out of the crowd and bowed."Deacon Yuan, Cao Cao has already stabilized. We might not be able to win if we attack Xu Du now.
If we don't win, our army will definitely lose soldiers and generals, and the gains will not make up for the losses.
Deacon Yuan had four states and strong troops. He should have used a protracted war to drag Cao Cao to death. Why would he take the risk to attack Xudu?”
Yuan Shao frowned slightly but did not say anything.
Ju Shou continued," Deacon Yuan only needs to station his troops in Liyang and slowly develop Henan. He needs to build warships, repair weapons and equipment, and develop himself.
They would then send elite cavalry to harass the borders of Cao Cao's territory day and night, preventing Cao Cao from developing in peace.
As for Deacon Yuan, he could continue to develop and grow in peace. In the long run, the gap between Cao Cao and Deacon Yuan's strength would only grow bigger and bigger.
In less than three years, Cao Cao's army will be exhausted.
If they attacked Cao Cao now, they could destroy him in a single battle.”
Yuan Shao's frown deepened. Although he felt that what Ju Shou said made sense, he was unwilling to listen.
It wasn't easy for me to make a decision, but now I'm jumping out to oppose it. Don't you think I'm shameless?
At this moment, Guo Tu stood up and retorted,""As the art of war says, ten sieges and five attacks.
Now, Yuan Gong has four states, elite soldiers and strong generals, crusading against Cao Cao is easy.
If he didn't destroy Cao Cao now, it would be too difficult to destroy him when he grew stronger.”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he secretly nodded, the scales in his heart leaning towards Guo Tu.
Qiushou glanced at Guo Tu and said again,""To save the troubled times and kill the tyrannical, this is a righteous army.
Relying on numbers and strength to bully the weak was a proud army.
Righteous soldiers can be invincible, but arrogant soldiers will certainly be defeated.
Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and moved the capital to Xuchang. With the emperor around, he held justice.
Now, Deacon Yuan had raised an army to attack Xu Capital, which was a violation of justice.
Moreover, victory and defeat on the battlefield never depended on who had more troops or more power.
Cao Cao was good at planning, and his troops were disciplined and elite. His generals were brave and had many strategists. He was not someone Gongsun Zan of Youzhou could compare to.
Deacon Yuan was about to give up on his plan of stability and lead an unknown army to attack Xu Capital.
I'm really worried. Deacon Yuan, please think twice.”
Yuan Shao's brows furrowed tightly once more, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
Wasn't this just boosting others 'morale and reducing his own prestige?
Cao Cao's army is elite and his generals are brave. Could it be that my army is a motley crew?
Guo Tu observed Yuan Shao's expression and saw that Yuan Shao's expression wasn't good. He rolled his eyes and said,""Ju Jianjun, that's wrong.
In the past, when King Wu conquered Zhou, could it be that he was also an unjust army?
Moreover, the lord sent troops to attack Cao Cao, not to crusade against the emperor. How could he have no reason?
As for the civil officials, generals, and army, could it be that the civil officials, generals, and army under the lord were inferior to Cao Cao's?
Cao Cao has Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and others. The lord has Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Qu Yi.
Ji, Qing, You, and the people of the four states were all grateful for the lord's benevolent government and were all willing to serve the lord.
With such a huge advantage, if we don't help you destroy Cao Cao as soon as possible, it will be our fault.
The plan to stop the army was indeed very safe, but it lacked the ability to adapt flexibly.”
Qiushou wanted to say more, but Yuan Shao interrupted him,""Alright, I've already made up my mind on this matter. There's no need to persuade me.
Pass on my order. In three days, we will attack Xudu.”
"My lord is wise."
Guo Tu and the others praised.
"Deacon Yuan, you can't. You must not win this battle. Deacon Yuan, think twice.”
Ju Shou still tried to dissuade him.
"The army hasn't even set out yet," Yuan Shao said angrily,"and you're here to mess up our morale? Leave."
Qiushou still wanted to persuade him, but he was pulled down.
After he left, Guo Tu and the others took the opportunity to slander him, saying that the power granted to him was too great and was not conducive to control.
Yuan Shao took the post of supervisor of the army and divided it into three generals, each of whom was given to Guo Tu and Chunyu Qiong to supervise an army.
Seeing this, everyone in the world sighed endlessly.
"Ju Shou's three years of weariness and Tian Feng's long lasting tactics are similar, but Yuan Shao didn't listen.”
"As expected of a scheming strategist. He resisted two super strategists by himself and forced Yuan Shao to give up all the correct strategies and adopt the only wrong one. I have to say that this Guo Tu is also very powerful. Perhaps this is why he can be on the rankings.”
In Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth." This Guo Tu has done me a great deal of harm. If I see him again, I'll tear him apart."”
Below, Mr. Ghost, who was wearing a ghost mask, had his eyes flicker slightly, but he did not say anything.
