There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, they were all thinking about this issue silently.
Lu Bu is already difficult to deal with. If Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, is added to the mix, they may no longer have a foothold in Yanzhou.
Even if Lu Bu can be driven away by force, what should Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, do?
As the saying goes, if you hit the younger ones, you will attract the older ones. What if you hit Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and attract Yuan Shao of Jizhou?
Although everyone has occupied Yanzhou, no one can think of defeating Yuan Shao of Jizhou.
Now Yuan Shao's strength in Jizhou is at its peak, and no one can compete with him.
If you offend Yuan Shao of Jizhou, it will be a serious problem.
Cao Mengde composed himself and looked around at the people in front of him, "Everyone, how should this matter be handled best?"
Lu Qian frowned and said with a wry smile, "According to the original plan, we were going to attract Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, so that he and Lu Bu would both lose in the fight. This would be in our best interest.
But now, Lu Bu'er has withdrawn on his own initiative, and they can no longer fight with each other. However, we cannot drive away Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and it will be even more disadvantageous for us. "
Having said this, Lu Qian sighed again, "Now it seems that our biggest enemy is no longer Lu Bu's son, but the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, who has just arrived in Yanzhou."
Li Dian nodded sympathetically, "Yes, we can lead our troops to drive away Lu Bu. What about Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou?"
Lu Qian suddenly said, "Can we ask Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, to go back and say that Lu Bu has been defeated and the matter has been settled. While he does not occupy much territory now, there should be a glimmer of hope."
Li Dian nodded, "It seems the only way is to ask the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, to go back as soon as possible, maybe he will really agree.
If Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, continues to stay in Yanzhou and occupy a few more cities, it may be impossible to ask him to leave at that time. "
After hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded in agreement, "Everyone is right. If we stay, it will really be detrimental to us."
If it were him who occupied more territory, he might not be willing to leave.
Le Jin suddenly shook his head, "No, we must not let the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, leave now."
Lu Qian asked with a wry smile, "General Le, if Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, stays, it may be detrimental to us, so we can only ask him to leave as soon as possible, and there is still a glimmer of hope."
Le Jin sighed, "You are right, please ask the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan to leave now, he may agree."
At this point, Le Jin's tone paused, but then, he continued without waiting for anyone to answer his words.
"But have you ever thought about it, if Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, really leaves, who will deal with Lu Bu?"
When everyone heard these words, their expressions suddenly changed, and then they came to their senses.
The reason why Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, was invited to Yanzhou was to deal with Lu Bu's son.
But now Lu Bu's strength is still there. If Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, is asked to leave Yanzhou, who will deal with Lu Bu?
Cao Hong nodded, "General Le is right. Although Lu Bu retreated, he did not fight the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan, and his strength was not damaged. If the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan leaves now, I am afraid Lu Bu will come back immediately. "
