"Lord, why not try to get Yuan Shu to continue to increase the intensity of his attack on Jingbei!" At this time, Guo Jia stood up and suggested.
"Filial piety makes sense!" As soon as Guo Jia proposed this idea, Li Xiang had already seen the intention behind it.
If there is really chaos inside Jingbei, then Jingbei will be like a piece of fat. However, if this piece of fat was put on the table now, Li Xiang would not be able to eat it. Unless, let this piece of fat be brought to the table later.
But Yuan Shu can help Li Xiang achieve this goal. If there is external pressure like Yuan Shu, all parties in Northern Jing will work together to fight against the enemy, and they will not start fighting immediately.
Just like after Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's self-confidence was inflated, so he led his army to try to take the opportunity to completely eliminate Yuan Shao's power. As a result, with the cooperation of the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, Cao Cao did not get any advantage.
At this time, Cao Cao's first counselor Guo Jia saw the problem. He advised Cao Cao that if we attack Yuan Jun at this time, it will cause several of Yuan Shao's sons to unite against us. With our current strength, we cannot defeat them. .
And if we can completely relax the pressure on Yuan Jun, then over time, Yuan Shao's several unwilling sons will definitely fight with each other. After all, Yuan Shao's sons all want to become a tycoon.
Regarding Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao chose to obey at that time, so Cao's army retreated. Yuan Shao's sons began to attack each other, and the north completely fell into civil war. It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao was able to unify the north in just a few years.
Nowadays, Guo Jia's strategy is similar to the strategy he proposed to Cao Cao, but it's just the opposite. Guo Jia is now suggesting that Li Xiang use Yuan Shu to suppress the internal forces in Jingbei. Through external forces, the forces in Jingbei were forced to cooperate to temporarily suppress the possible unrest in Jingbei.
As long as there is no chaos in Jingbei, they will be able to find room to operate, and they may not be able to get a share of the pie in the future.
…………………………
Jingnan.
Just when Li Xiang, who was far away in Luoyang, was worried about Liu Biao's death, Liu Biao's death also caused huge waves here.
In the lobby, Xiang Yu was sitting on the main seat. This time, it was really his turn to take charge of the Xiang family. However, although Xiang Yu still looked as majestic as usual, there was still a faint sadness between his eyebrows.
Not only Xiang Yu, but everyone in the lobby was more or less different from usual. After all, Xiang Yan had just left, and it was impossible for everyone to get over this bad news so quickly.
"Lord, the plan is successful, Liu Biao has been executed!" Sun Shuao's words were shocking. Just from this sentence, we can know that behind Liu Biao's death, the Xiang family was probably behind the scenes.
"Old Liu Biao, you are taking advantage of him!" Xiang Yu only had a rough understanding of the plan behind this matter. He had always been disdainful of such things as conspiracies and conspiracies.
"Father, since Liu Biao is dead, should we immediately send troops to Jingbei?" Xiang Yu asked Fan Zeng who was at the forefront below.
At this time, Xiang Yan had just passed away, and Xiang Yu had not forgotten Xiang Yan's instructions before his death. Therefore, when something happened, Xiang Yu didn't mind asking Fan Zeng for his advice first.
"Lord, our army has suffered its first defeat, and our old lord has lost his first life. Should we postpone the dispatch of troops?" Fan Zeng had not expressed any opinions yet, but Sun Shuao suggested hesitantly.
Over the years, Liu Xiang fought frequently, but he did not achieve any actual results. Now, they have lost even more and their morale is declining. At this moment, in Sun Shuao's view, it was indeed not a good time to send troops.
What's more, although Liu Biao is dead, the other party has not yet become completely chaotic. Rather than sending out troops early, it is better to rest with the people, develop production, and strengthen ourselves at this time. When several parties in Jingbei are fighting fiercely and fighting endlessly, they can break through Jiangxia with thunderous force and enter Xiangyang, which will definitely determine the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop.
In addition, Sun Shuao thought that Xiang Yu was too impatient. The old lord was mourning for the first time, and the fate of the people was uncertain. This time was not suitable for starting a war.
Hearing this, although Xiang Yu looked okay on the surface, there was a trace of impatience and even a trace of boredom deep in his eyes.
At this time, Xiang Yu was determined to conquer Jingbei not only because of Liu Xiang's centuries-old blood feud, but also because of the need to expand his strength and territory. More importantly, after they captured Jingbei, they could border Li Xiang's territory and he would have a chance to avenge Xiang Yan.
Moreover, Xiang Yu himself never knew much about things like internal affairs. All he could think about was fighting. As for other matters, just leave them to your subordinates to worry about.
"What do you think, madam!" Fan Zeng, who understood Xiang Yu's temper best, sighed helplessly. Fortunately, Xiang Yu still obeyed Yu Ji's suggestions. With Yu Ji here, at least I can persuade him at this time.
"In Maoshi, Bo Shi has already sneaked into Liu Qi and Liu Cong's side. At this moment, they want to use Liu Qi and Liu Cong's hands to kill Liu Xiu and Liu Yu. We want to send troops, how about waiting a little longer?" Yu Ji also understood very well that this was not the best time to send troops, so he could only single out this reason.
In fact, Yu Ji personally went to Jingbei as a hostage before to arrange this plan to deal with Liu Biao. Both Liu Yu and Liu Xiu were talented and ambitious. It stands to reason that if two such ambitious people met, they would definitely fight to the death.
However, with Liu Biao as a lubricant, the two of them could live peacefully to this day. Therefore, they must solve the problem of Liu Biao. Liu Yu and Liu Xiu, who will not be suppressed by anyone in the future, will definitely not continue to coexist peacefully. After all, there is only one position in Jingbei, and there is only one position for Jingzhou Mu and King of Chu.
If the three Liu brothers work together, they are indeed impeccable. The fact that they have not occupied an inch for so many years is the best proof. But if the other side fights with each other and civil strife breaks out, they will have a chance to defeat each other.
Moreover, getting rid of Liu Biao was only part of Yu Ji's plan. He also had another part of his plan, which was to get people to break into the brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong, and use the hands of these two people to completely cause civil strife in Jingbei.
After all, these two brothers are much easier to deal with than their two cheap uncles. Especially Liu Cong. If it weren't for Liu Biao's favor and the support of the Cai family, a wealthy family in Jingbei, this guy would not be much better than a straw bag. It is not difficult to take advantage of him as long as you plan well.
As for the so-called Mao Shi and Bo Shi, they planned to use the hands of Liu Qi and Liu Cong to deal with Liu Yu and Liu Xiu. Although Yu Ji knew about this plan, in fact, she did not have much confidence in it. hope.
Do you really think that Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty are useless? How could they be solved by Liu Qi and Liu Cong?
However, although Yu Ji has no hope for this plan, as long as this plan is implemented, civil strife among all parties in northern Jing will begin. In this case, Yu Ji's goal will be achieved.
