Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 351 Take Xuzhou?
When Ju Shou and Tian Feng heard what Zhang Sui said, they both looked a little strange.

They didn't expect Zhang Sui to say that!

They had always thought that Zhang Sui was angry because Yuan Shao went back on his word.

Zhang Sui is young after all.

He is young and energetic, and eager to make achievements.

Hence the rage.

They were more or less prepared to persuade Zhang Sui to be more patient.

But Zhang Sui's words touched them somewhat.

Tian Feng said to Ju Shou: "This child makes us two old men ashamed. We are too narrow-minded after all."

Ju Shou looked at Zhang Sui with a much gentler gaze, nodded, and said to Zhang Sui: "It's a good idea."

“We are all helpless.”

"But, after all, the lord is the lord."

"We can't force him to do anything."

Tian Feng, who was standing by, said with emotion: "Besides, his approach was really inappropriate."

"How can you easily change what you promised?"

"Besides, if he had asked Zhang He or Gao Lan to do this instead of Bo Cheng, there wouldn't be so many problems."

"Why did you send Guo Yuan?"

"He is clearly trying to suppress our Jizhou faction. He is quite a high-ranking official."

"Speaking of which, Gao Gan is from Chenliu, Yuzhou, and he is the same kind of people as those people from Yingchuan."

"He is already paving the way for his future move south."

"He thought that by suppressing the Jizhou faction and supporting the Yingchuan faction, he would be able to gain a lot of support when he went south in the future and take over the south faster."

"He doesn't know that balance is not achieved in this way."

"What will other people think of you supporting Yingchuan so recklessly?"

"Let's not talk about Bocheng here."

"It's about the eldest and second sons. What do they think?"

"They are his biological sons, but now they are treated worse than a nephew!"

"Why did the Third Young Master rebel this time? Isn't it because he saw through his true nature and was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would not have another chance!"

"sad!"

"Sigh!"

"All these disasters of the Third Young Master were caused by him alone."

"If he had listened to our advice and promoted the eldest son to the crown prince and placed Gao Gan, the second son, and the third son under Jizhou's watchful eyes, how could these things have happened?"

"If this continues, something bad will happen to the eldest and second sons!"

"No one would be able to accept watching a cousin become more powerful than his two biological sons."

Ju Shou also sighed and said, "General, you were more receptive to advice in your early years."

"Ever since Qu Yi's death, Gongsun Zan was forced to Yijing, and he has started to act arbitrarily."

"He even put aside the matter of passing on the imperial seal."

"We discussed this at the morning meeting today. It's giving me a headache."

Looking at Tian Feng and Zhang Sui, Ju Su said in a sad voice: "Tell me, is our good situation heading towards a desperate situation step by step?"

Zhang Sui laughed coldly and said, "Since ancient times, the party that first gains the advantage will surely be annihilated by the crowd."

“The ones who laugh last are often the ones who were looked down upon at the beginning.”

"You think our only strong enemy is Cao Cao?"

"Sun Ce of Jiangdong, the eldest son of Sun Jian, has a lot of Sun Jian's style."

"Think about the time when all the heroes fought against Dong Zhuo. All the princes were defeated by Dong Zhuo, but only Sun Jian won and even reached Luoyang."

"This Jiangdong will soon become a powerful enemy."

"And Jingzhou."

"Although Jingzhou is currently in alliance with us, if we become weak, will Jingzhou still be able to continue to work with us like this?"

Ju Shou was a little surprised and said, "You are also paying attention to Sun Ce of Jiangdong? I haven't paid much attention to him."

"You have done a lot of things that we don't know about in Zhongshan County during this year." Tian Feng also looked at Zhang Sui in surprise.

Although it was not the first time he had heard of Sun Ce, it was the first time he heard someone place Sun Ce in such a high position!

Tian Feng asked: "Sun Ce is not Sun Jian after all. How do you know that he will become a strong enemy?"

Zhang Sui glanced at Tian Feng and said, "Sir, you may have forgotten that there is also a family near Jiangdong."

"I know you, sir, look down on the humble origins of Sun Jian and Sun Ce."

"But what would happen if they had the support of a powerful noble family?"

Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other.

Ju Su suddenly frowned and said, "The Zhou family from Shu County, Lujiang."

Zhang Sui nodded and said, "That's right."

"Although the Zhou family is not as famous as the Yuan family, as a top-notch family with three generations of officials, it is not easy for them to support Sun Ce."

"Moreover, the Zhou family's tragedy is not much inferior to that of the Yuan family."

"In order to fight against Dong Zhuo, almost all of the Yuan family was killed."

"In order to fight against Dong Zhuo, the Zhou family almost had the older generation killed by Dong Zhuo."

"The Zhou family may not be able to compare with the Yuan family in terms of the territory of the Han Dynasty, but it shouldn't be difficult to deal with Jiangdong, right?"

"With Jiangdong as the foundation, the military strength of Sun Ce and Sun Jian, and the reputation of the Zhou family as a top noble family."

"If we don't attack them now, before their relationship becomes solid, it's not impossible for Jiangdong to hold on to a corner once it develops."

When Tian Feng heard what Zhang Sui said, his expression gradually turned ugly.

He stepped back to Hu's bed and sat down.

After a while, he raised his head and asked Zhang Sui, "The matter of going south to Shouchun cannot be changed."

"At the morning meeting today, in front of so many people, he handed this important task to Guo Yuan."

"If I regret this, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"He reneged on his promise to you before, after all, it was private."

Zhang Sui nodded.

This is also where he is somewhat powerless.

Even though I know the result, I can't reverse it.

So he prepared to rush back to Zhongshan County.

Since Yuan Shao is so incompetent, he should prepare himself!
Ju Su suddenly said, "My lord is now seriously ill. I'm afraid he can't go south to Xuzhou by himself."

“But we can’t not do it.”

"The manpower has been deployed."

"Besides, if we don't go south to Xuzhou this time, it would be meaningless for Guo Yuan to go south to Shouchun."

"If we can't take Xuzhou, even if we take Huainan, it will be difficult to defend Huainan because it is separated from Hebei."

"Huainan is just giving it to others."

"No matter who gets it, it will be very detrimental to our future."

Ju Shou pinched his beard, slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Sui and said, "If I asked you to lead the troops south to Xuzhou, how confident would you be?"

Zhang Sui: “.”

Go south to Xuzhou?

To deal with Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao?
Zhang Sui frowned and said, "It's not as easy as Huainan."

"Lü Bu is not weak, even though you have defeated him before."

"After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, I got the news that Yuan Shu personally led a large army to attack Xuzhou. The 100,000-man army was defeated, and Lu Bu captured many prisoners, greatly increasing his strength."

Ju Shou looked at Tian Feng and said, "I think we can give it a try."

"Guo Yuan went south to Shouchun, who can we send from Xuzhou?"

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both in Yijing."

"The only generals that Yecheng can bring out at the moment are Bo Cheng, Zhang He and Gao Lan."

"For the sake of balance, my lord will never let Zhang He and Gao Lan lead the army."
