Chapter 298 The Turtle's Shell
Xindu, Hebei, the prefect's office.
Yuan Shao opened the will in his hand and said lazily: "Our little emperor now has trouble. He specially asked us to go to serve the king. I wonder what you think?"
Ju Su hurriedly stepped out and said, "I think I should welcome the emperor. At that time, I can use the emperor to order the princes to fight against the robbers and rebels. Who can compete with our army?"
Guo Tu said: "I think that the emperor cannot be welcomed. Although the emperor can gain the advantage of being the first to win, it has many disadvantages and will only make us the target of public criticism, just like Dong Zhuo who has recently perished. Moreover, the emperor is in the territory and needs to ask for instructions and report, so we will only be restrained when doing things..."
Feng Ji praised: "I agree with Gong Ze's view. You must know that there are many ministers and ministers around the emperor, and open and secret struggles are inevitable, which will only waste our energy."
Tian Feng stepped out and said: "I think what Ju Su said is reasonable. Although there are disadvantages in welcoming the emperor, we can always stand on the side of morality. Who dares to be an enemy if we obey loyalty and rebellious?"
Yuan Shao pondered: "Roqi, what do you think?"
Roche came out and said, "I think it is impossible to welcome the emperor."
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
Luo Qi replied: "As Gong Ze said before, we are likely to be the target of public criticism like Dong Zhuo. There are many princes around Hebei who are eyeing him. If we use this to form a coalition force to attack us, it will be a big problem. It is better to take a good rest and develop step by step."
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "It's just my wish, so we won't welcome that little emperor."
Ju Su hurriedly said, "Master, please think twice!"
Yuan Shao said decisively: "I have decided, so there is no need to say anything more."
Puyang, Cao Cao's mansion.
Xun Yu smiled and said, "So to sum up, we should welcome the emperor."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"
Liu Ye set out and said: "Now that Liu Bei and Lu Bu occupy Xuzhou, they may threaten Yanzhou at any time. We should get rid of them first and then consider the matter of Yuzhou. Moreover, if we attack Yuzhou, we will attack Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and we will fall into the threat of Yuan Shao in the north, Lu Bu in the east, Liu Biao in the south, and the Xiliang Legion in the northwest. Therefore, I think that now is not the best time to welcome the emperor."
Cao Cao was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know how old I am?"
The ministers did not understand the meaning and could only say: "I don't know."
Cao Cao sighed: "I am forty-two years this year and have wasted half of my life. Now there are many strong people in the world, and I am just a trivial princes. Although I am ambition to pacify the vast sea and reorganize the rivers and mountains, I can only do so without the capital to compete with the princes. It is really sad and lamentable..."
Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "My lord is so ashamed of me!"
Cao Cao said: "If I don't take advantage of the situation now, I will only be annexed by the princes in the future. Instead of doing so, it is better to welcome the emperor and use the reputation of the Han Dynasty to win the hearts of the people. If I succeed, I can win the Jiuzhou. Even if I fail, we will not lose too much. Therefore, I decided... to listen to Xun Yu's opinion!"
Liu Ye bowed and said, "My lord is far-sighted, and we are too ashamed."
Xindu, Hebei, Guo Mansion.
Huang Yueying said lightly: "I heard that during the court discussion today, did you vote against the emperor?"
Roche raised his eyebrows and said, "Your news is really well-informed."
Huang Yueying said: "You know that the emperor is a trump card that commands the princes. As long as you get it, you can gain political dominance. As long as you can bring the emperor to Hebei, you can inherit this trump card in the future. Why don't you?"
Roche smiled and said, "Do you care a lot about my success or failure?"
Huang Yueying snorted: "I remember you once said that as long as you are strong enough to not be afraid of Qin, you will return your freedom to the Zhen family. I will only assist you as agreed."
Roqi smiled and said, "It seems that you really chose to trust me."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "As you said at the time, do I have any other choice?"
Luo Qi smiled and said, "Then I will give you a reassurance first. In fact, it is beneficial to me if I don't welcome the emperor. As long as the Yuan family cannot represent the righteousness, it will be easier for me to overthrow it."
Huang Yueying thought for a while and said, "Do you want to seek rebellion with success?"
Luo Qi smiled and said, "It seems that you have discovered how I plan to eat Yuan Shao."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Is Cao Cao the chess piece you chose?"
Roche nodded and said, "That's right."
Huang Yueying said in confusion: "But why are you sure she will choose to welcome the emperor?"
Luo Qi smiled and said, "Because there is one of his advisers named Guo."
Youzhou, Jixian
Gongsun Zan slapped the table and said, "You said Yuan Shao has sent troops, who is the leader?"
Staffman Guan Jing said: "It seems that it was still the last time Rochi."
Gongsun Zan said angrily: "Why is this guy still? Is he really going to fight with me?"
Guan Jing sighed: "We have no reinforcements outside now, so we can only defend ourselves. I hope the other party will retreat if we can't capture it for a long time. We can still wait for the whole country to change."
Gongsun Zan sneered: "I'm ready to see how he can break through my Yijing Tower!"
Guan Jing remembered Yi Jinglou's strong defense and couldn't help but nod.
They had made up their minds and rely on perseverance to tired Yuan Shao.
It’s a pity that this time the opponent is Luo Qi, a disciple of the Shuijing Sect.
In Hebei, official road.
Yuan Jun's line was arranged neatly and his pace was steadily moving forward.
Huang Yueying rode a horse and said lightly: "Since you taught me so much last time, Gongsun Zan's ambition has begun to decline, and he has no intention of expanding and progress. He seems to only want to defend Youzhou. He built an Yijing Building in Ji, with ten troughs, all of which are five or six troughs high, and three million hu of grains are accumulated inside. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is simply the most solid city in the world..."
Roche smiled and said, "No matter how hard the turtle shell is, it can be broken in the end."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Although our troops are far stronger than Gongsun Zan, it may take at least several years to break through the defense line of Yijinglou. Do you really plan to fight until that time?"
Roche said lightly: "I don't have that patience, I will only end everything in one month."
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Brave, right?"
Roqi shook his head and said, "You Yin and Yang families are studying astronomy and geography, and there are things that pretend to be magical and ghosts. Our Water Mirror is more down-to-earth, and what I majored in school is military strategy."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Military strategy?"
Luo Qi nodded and said, "Stamping the formation, breaking the enemy, defending, siege..."
Huang Yueying said: "So are you sure to break through Gongsun Zan's steel defense?"
Roqi said lightly: "Shuijing is a student who studies military strategy. There is only one guy who is stronger than me. It is not too difficult to deal with Yi Jinglou what I have learned... although it is indeed possible to use all your strength."
Huang Yueying asked: "You said you are stronger than you, who is he?"
Roqi looked forward and said lightly: "Guo Jia."
Huang Yueying suddenly reacted and hurriedly said, "Is he the one with the surname Guo?"
