Cheng Lian couldn't help but frowned when he heard Zhang Liao's words, "I really have a headache, what do you think I should do?"
Zhang Liao tentatively said, "Why don't we just follow this letter and pretend to have a fight with Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou?"
Chen Dao shook his head, "General Zhang, what if this is the plan of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and he just wants to deceive us?"
Just then, a voice came from the crowd.
"If you're afraid of being fooled, then don't fight."
Everyone turned around hurriedly and saw Xu Shu walking out of the crowd.
Lu Bu asked tentatively, "Mr. Xu, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Xu Shu waved his hand, "Since we don't want to fight, then we will retreat."
At this point, Xu Shu's tone paused, but then, he continued without waiting for anyone to answer his words.
"Our original plan was to withdraw our troops. Since we don't want to fight, we will act according to our original plan."
Chen Dao frowned, "If we retreat, we will lose this good opportunity."
Xu Shu shook his head, "Even if we defeat Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, this battle will cause us trouble, so it's better not to fight.
Now think about it, if we withdraw our troops, what will the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, do? "
Cheng Lian said loudly, "Of course, we will continue to occupy the territory we retreated from."
Xu Shu smiled and nodded, "Yes, the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, will continue to occupy our territory. Although we have agreed, will Cao Mengde agree?"
Chen Dao's eyes lit up, "I will definitely not agree. He worked so hard to occupy Yanzhou, how could he give it to others?"
Xu Shu nodded, "That's right, Cao Mengde wants us to fight Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, so that both of us will suffer losses, so that he can take advantage.
As long as we withdraw our troops, Cao Mengde will definitely not agree when he sees that Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, is occupying more and more territory.
In this way, Cao Mengde will definitely drive Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, out of Yanzhou.
The eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has occupied so much territory, how could he withdraw so easily.
In the end, they will definitely turn against each other and a war will break out. "
Zhang Liao asked tentatively, "Mr. Xu, who do you think will win in the battle between Cao Mengde and the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan?"
Xu Shu waved his hand, "Cao Mengde will definitely win this battle."
Chen Dao's eyes lit up, "In other words, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, will be defeated by Cao Mengde and driven out of Yanzhou.
Then Yuan Shao of Jizhou knew that Cao Mengde was beating his son, so of course he would not agree, and he might send troops to kill Cao Mengde immediately. "
Xu Shu nodded, "Not only Yuan Shao of Jizhou, but also Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, will definitely not give up after being defeated.
If my guess is correct, after Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, was defeated, he would immediately recruit troops when he returned to Qingzhou, and then return to the Yanzhou battlefield as soon as possible to compete with Cao Mengde for territory again. "
Cheng Lian frowned, "Even if they fight, what good will we gain?"
Xu Shu smiled slightly, "General Cheng Lian, originally we were worried that after Cao Mengde was defeated, he would attract Yuan Shao from Jizhou.
If they both turn against each other and we attack Cao Mengde again, Jizhou Yuan Shao will not only not object, but may even applaud him.
General Cheng Lian, do you think we have gained much benefit? "
