After receiving the news from the shadow guard, Yuan Shao was not in the mood to continue shopping. So he took the miracle doctor and Dian Wei to the prime minister's residence and returned.
When he waited at the mansion, he asked Dian Wei to settle down with Hua Tuo, but he walked towards the meeting hall to discuss important matters with his subordinate Wen Wu.
With Guo Jia's work efficiency, he will definitely notify Yuan Shao as soon as possible after getting the news from his subordinates. I also know that Yuan Shao will definitely discuss it with everyone, and will also inform his subordinates Wen Wu.
When Yuan Shao arrived at the meeting hall and pushed open the door, he saw that all his subordinates and generals had arrived except Dian Wei, who was arranged to entertain the miracle doctor.
Seeing Yuan Shao coming in, everyone quickly stood up and saluted. When Yuan Shao saw this, he interrupted and signaled that there was no need to be polite. The military situation was urgent and important matters should be given priority.
Before Yuan Shao sat down, he said to Guo Jiaqi, "I already know about Feng Xiao, but everyone doesn't know about it yet. You are conveying the news to everyone so that everyone can know."
After hearing Yuan Shao's instructions, Guo Jia stood up, not daring to delay, and said, "Everyone knows that since we entered Chang'an. The Lord has entrusted me with the responsibility of inquiring about the news, and I have done my best. I feel that Xi Liang is the most likely to get into trouble, so I pay close attention to what’s going on there.”
Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Guo Jia paused and continued, "As expected, Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang colluded together, raised more than 100,000 troops, and went to Chang'an to kill the thieves. Now they have arrived in Chencang, leaving Chang'an. It's less than a hundred miles away. It's so powerful, please make a plan soon, my lord."
When Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Li Jue and Guo Bang of Xiliang had just died, and Ma Teng and Han Sui came. Chang'an is indeed not a good place, with constant military disasters. Xiliang is also quite barren, and it is easy for more than 100,000 people to gather there. I am complaining about these things, but I am not afraid of them.
Wen Chou even stood up and shouted, "What are you afraid of? I think the Xiliang army is useless. Please give me 30,000 soldiers and horses, my lord, and I promise to kill them to pieces." The last time Wen Chou entered Chang'an, he did not get any great achievements. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao took all the credit. I have been holding back my anger for a long time, but now that I have such an opportunity, I can still bear it. Besides, I don't have the lives of a few Xiliang soldiers on my hands. If I don't get some blood, this time in Chang'an won't be in vain. The first ones got up and shouted to teach them a lesson.
"Hahahahahaha"
These honest but murderous words made everyone so happy that they all laughed. They also asked for orders to go out to fight and teach Xiliang how to behave.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied when he saw that the morale of the generals was very high and the voices of the generals calling for battle kept coming and going. I was a little moved, and I wanted to agree at that moment.
Jushou saw that Yuan Shao was a little moved, so he quickly stood up and interrupted, "No, in my opinion, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui are just a mob. They came to take advantage of the situation, just hoping to take Chang'an in one go. As long as we hold on If we don't come out, we will stay with them for ten days and a half, after they have used up all their food and supplies. My lord will use his troops to cover them up, and they will definitely win."
After hearing Jushou's suggestion, the generals also realized that it was the best policy to subdue the enemy's troops without fighting. Everyone agreed with the military advisor's opinion, except Wen Chou who looked at Ju Shou with an annoyed look on his face, a little angry.
Seeing everyone's good response, Jushou continued, "The current major event of our army is about moving the capital, and everything else can be completely ignored. Once the capital move is completed, our mission for this trip will be completed, and everything about Chang'an will be over." It has nothing to do with us anymore. Why bother to cause trouble and lose your troops in vain. I wonder what the Lord wants?"
After Jushou finished speaking, he waited for Yuan Shao's decision. Everyone felt that the lord would definitely agree with the military advisor's opinion. This was always the case in the past.
To be honest, Yuan Shao also agreed with Jushou's suggestion after listening to it. Although this strategy is very time-consuming, it seems that there is no other way now, and it can be regarded as a good strategy.
Yuan Shao looked around and everyone agreed. Only Guo Jia smiled disapprovingly but said nothing.
It seemed that Guo Jia must have an idea, so Yuan Shao said to Guo Jia, "I don't know if Feng Xiao has any good strategies. I can tell them for everyone's reference."
When Yuan Shao named Guo Jia to offer advice, everyone turned their attention to Guo Jia's military advisor. Ju Shou was also curiously waiting for Guo Jia's advice.
Seeing this, Guo Jia did not reply directly, but asked Yuan Shao a question.
"I don't know if my lord is aiming for the world, or is he aiming for peace of mind?"
Although he didn't understand why Guo Jia asked like this, Yuan Shao still said without hesitation, "Of course I have ambitions for the world. I also plan to take you to see the great rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty during my lifetime."
Although he had known that his lord had great ambitions, Guo Jia was even more satisfied when he heard Yuan Shao personally admit it. Keep believing.
"In this case, I suggest that your lord should not sit in Chang'an and wait for the Xiliang horses to run out of food. We should take the initiative to fight with the Xiliang troops and defeat them in the wild. In the future, Xiliang will hear about our troops. In the name of it, I took a detour."
What, Guo Jia's strategy is actually the same as Wen Chou's idea, and completely opposite to Ju Shuo's. Didn't I just hear a fake plan? Is Guo Jia still awake? He must be drunk.
When Guo Jia spoke, people were talking about it again, and they were all confused. I don’t know why I put aside simple and labor-saving strategies, why I still go to war. Except when Jushou heard Guo Jia's advice, he was thinking about it carefully.
Yuan Shao was also puzzled and looked at Guo Jia, waiting for him to further explain why it was so troublesome.
Seeing this, Guo Jia continued to explain, "Don't look at the menacing Xiliang army. They are actually paper tigers, just scary guys. They have evil intentions in their hearts and have different intentions. As long as we dampen their spirit in the first battle, we will be able to defeat them." The battle can be decided. This has two benefits. One is to show the lord's strength to Xiliang and make them afraid. Xiliang respects the strong the most. This can save a lot of trouble in the future, and it will also make it easier for the lord to unify Liangzhou. "With this great victory, we can intimidate other princes so that they dare not move, and also solve a series of troubles in moving the capital. Therefore, my lord must not quit his work and want to fight the Xiliang army."
In fact, there is a third benefit. Guo Jia has already thought about it and wanted to talk about it. But seeing Jushou thinking deeply, he looked at it and thought of it, so he stopped talking and gave others a chance.
Jushou waited for a while and saw that after Guo Jia finished speaking, he continued to drink with the wine glass in hand and had no intention of continuing to speak.
He continued to add, admitting that his strategy was not as suitable as Guo Jia's, and said, "Lord Mingjian, my strategy is a bit too conservative, Fengxiao's strategy is more appropriate. Another advantage of doing this is that if we move, Chang'an The cow ghosts and snake gods will jump out. In this way, we can catch them all to prevent them from returning to Yecheng to connect with each other and cause greater losses!"
After Jushu finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now he felt no burden in his heart. I used to want to compete with Guo Jia, but now I have no idea.
As expected, I am slightly inferior to Guo Jia. It can also be said that I am good at strategizing and strategizing, while Guo Jia is good at scheming, thinking in the long term, and can also make unexpected plans. It can be said that he has found his position, which is a good thing for Yuan Shao.
