As soon as Wang Yun's autographed letter left Chang'an, the Shadow Camp knew about it and sent someone to immediately notify their leader Guo Jia of the news.
After Guo Jia found out, he asked the shadow guards stationed in Chang'an to escort him all the way until he arrived safely in Jizhou.
Guo Jia got it immediately, and before he had time to open it, he didn't dare to delay and sent it to Yuan Shao for his lord's decision.
When Dian Wei arrived at the lord's backyard, he saw that it belonged to Guo Jia, so he didn't do much to stop him, so Guo Jia went straight in to see Yuan Shao.
After a while, Guo Jia arrived in the back garden and saw Yuan Shaozheng and Ju Shou discussing things. Guo Jia didn't care, strolled in and interrupted.
"Haha, my lord. Guo Jia is here to pay homage."
Yuan Shao and Ju Shou were talking very enthusiastically when they saw someone interrupting them. They were a little unhappy and wanted to scold them.
Xun Sheng looked around and saw that it was Guo Jia. He immediately lost his temper. It could be said that he was used to him being like this. Yuan Shao said helplessly.
"Fengxiao, you're here. Come here quickly and let's discuss how to deal with Gongsun Zan."
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, please wait a little longer. There is a big matter now that requires my lord's decision."
Hearing what Guo Jia said, Jushou became interested and listened attentively to what was going on.
Yuan Shao also asked curiously.
"I don't know what the big deal is that I need to make a decision on?"
Guo Jia, without saying anything, handed the letter he got from Chang'an to his lord.
When Yuan Shao saw the letter, he took it and read it carefully. After a quick look, I realized it was Wang Yun's handwriting.
The general content of the letter is that he has gathered the royalist forces in Chang'an and is preparing to use tricks to drive a wedge between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. It is better for them to turn against each other than to take advantage of them. I hope that Yuan Shao, an outstanding representative of the royalist faction, can lead a large army to support him, go to Beijing to serve the king, and jointly support the Han Dynasty.
After reading the letter, Yuan Shao circulated the content of the letter to Guo Jia and Jushou and asked them to help analyze it.
But he couldn't help sighing at Wang Yun. To be honest, Wang Yun was an out-and-out royalist. This time, according to history, he can successfully enter the city, but he will also die, which has to be lamented.
While Yuan Shaozheng was sighing, he took the letter and read it carefully, and he was overjoyed. He said happily without thinking.
"Congratulations, lord, this is a God-given opportunity. The internal strife in Chang'an is our best opportunity. No matter who wins or loses, it is not important to us. As long as the lord leaves with his army, they will obey him. In this way, Chang'an But, with the emperor in hand, I own the world."
Yuan Shao was also very happy to hear Ju Shou's heartfelt words. I had planned this originally, and this was a God-given opportunity. He couldn't help but said excitedly.
"Sir, what you said makes sense, and it feels really good to hold the emperor in command of the princes."
Guo Jia had almost guessed it before he received the letter. After all, he is in charge of intelligence, and he knows everything about Chang'an. Looking at the movements of Wang Yun and others, we know that they will definitely need foreign aid, and the Lord is the best choice.
I took a look at the letter, and sure enough, it was Wang Yun's letter asking for help. Guo Jia was very indifferent to this, feeling that everything was under his control.
After hearing Jushou's suggestion, Guo Jia deeply smiled and expressed his agreement.
After knowing his lord's thoughts, Guo Jia also smiled and said that he had known that his lord would be like this. A little satisfied, he interrupted.
"My lord is wrong in what he said. He should be serving the emperor to punish his disobedience." After saying this, he blinked to show us that we understood.
Of course Yuan Shao and Jushou understood this very well, so they laughed in agreement.
"Haha, Fengxiao is right."
"Haha, yes, I serve the emperor to punish disobedient people."
"Hahahahahaha"
Seeing us all laughing, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing.
After laughing for a while, Yuan Shao knew that there was still business, so he interrupted the laughter with words. Asked Jushu.
"If we go to the capital, King Qin, how will Gongsun Zan of Youzhou handle it?"
It turns out that Yuan Shao was discussing with Jushou just now about dealing with Gongsun Zan.
Seeing that his lord had made a decision, Jushu said confidently, "My lord, don't worry. Don't say that Gongsun Zan hasn't got Youzhou yet. Even if he gets Youzhou, he won't be my lord's opponent."
Yuan Shao nodded in agreement with these words. When his lord agreed, Jushou said mysteriously, "Actually, Gongsun Zan's victory over Youzhou is not a bad thing for my lord."
Why did he say this? Yuan Shao was confused. He didn't understand that Gongsun Zan had gained Youzhou. His strength must have increased, making it even harder to deal with. Why is it still good for yourself?
Seeing that his lord was confused and full of questions, Yuan Shao suddenly realized it after Ju Shou explained it carefully.
Originally, they occupied Youzhou, and their territory expanded, so their strength should increase. But Youzhou is a rather special place. It was the border of the Han Dynasty, and it was always subject to intrusions from the barbarians, especially Xianbei, which was the most rampant. It can be said to be the place of the Four Wars.
Although Gongsun Zan's troops were elite, they were few. Once you get Youzhou, you must defend it everywhere. Once the troops are dispersed, it will be easy to defeat it.
Besides, the troops were insufficient and they would have needed to be recruited. However, Gongsun Zan was not very good at caring for his soldiers, and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, did not win the hearts of the people of Youzhou. If not, you may end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Not only did he lose his troops, but he also gained this useless land. Of course, this was what he said to Gongsun Zan.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shao cupped his fists and admired Ju Shou.
"I don't think Mr. Shao can see so far, I'm so impressed."
Jushou looked a little unfazed and reminded him calmly.
"Haha, my lord praised me. In fact, Fengxiao also thought of these things, but he is lazy and doesn't want to say it. We will march to Chang'an soon, please lord, please squeeze out some of the ink in his chest."
After hearing what Ju Shou said, Yuan Shao agreed very much, and when he saw Guo Jia's confident look, he asked.
"Sir, you are right. Fengxiao, please stop hiding your secrets and give us an idea quickly."
"What the lord said is absolutely true, Fengxiao come quickly," Jushou also cheered.
When Guo Jia saw that his lord and Jushu were asking questions together, he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to report.
"Lord, Mingjian. I think that when we go to Chang'an, we should go slowly rather than in a hurry. It is best to wait until the winner is determined in Chang'an before we go to clean up the mess. In this way, we can be invincible. The Lord has not yet tried. What do you think?"
Of course Yuan Shao understood what Guo Jia meant, so he chuckled and agreed.
"Filial piety is a very good thing, so just do it like this."
Therefore, Yuan Shao carefully discussed with Ju Shou and Guo Jia the details of entering the capital to serve as King Qin.
The two of them said goodbye and went down to get ready. Yuan Shao asked Yuan Fang to inform all the civil and military ministers in Jizhou that the governor's office would discuss important matters tomorrow.
