Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 361 Li Jue was killed by Duan Wei, Yuan Shao panicked
On February 25th of the third year of Jian'an, Zhang Sui brought Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhao Yun, Zhen Hao and Huang Han to integrate the army in advance.

Everyone was studying the route to Xuzhou in the south based on the sand table made by Zhang Sui in recent days.

Tian Feng felt mixed emotions as he watched the generals arguing over the sand table and Zhang Sui explaining in detail the territories of various aristocratic families in Xuzhou.

Only then did he realize that his disciple seemed to be performing better and better.

All the outrageous actions Yuan Shao had taken over the years came to my mind.

Tian Feng gradually made up his mind.

No matter how much you help someone who cannot be helped, it will be of no use.

In this case, we should support those who are qualified, capable and responsible.

When Zhang Sui and others were discussing going south to Xuzhou, Yuan Shao sent someone to urgently summon Zhang Sui, Tian Feng and others.

This time, Tian Feng followed everyone back to the government office in Yecheng.

This was the first time he had been there in a long time.

When we arrived at the government office, the hall was full of people.

Yuan Shao stood in the first place, pacing back and forth continuously.

Although nearly two months have passed, his condition has shown no signs of recovery and has instead worsened.

Many doctors were consulted, but none of them could help. They just told Yuan Shao to focus on recuperation and to find a way to eliminate the toxins in his body first.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was looking at everyone in panic and coughing from time to time.

Seeing Tian Feng, Yan Liang and others rushing over, Yuan Shao signaled the crowd in the hall to quiet down.

The military supervisor Ju Su handed a bloody piece of cloth to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng took the cloth, glanced at it, and his face changed drastically.

There were only a few large, scribbled characters written on the cloth: The emperor sent Duan Wei to attack Chang'an, Li Jue was killed, and the rest of his troops fled in panic.

When Yuan Shao saw Tian Feng finish reading the banner, he asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think of the current situation?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone remained silent.

Tian Feng handed the cloth strip to Zhang Sui, then looked at the military supervisor Ju Su wearily, and both of them sighed.

They had advised Yuan Shao many times before that Cao Cao was a tyrant and that the throne should not be handed over to him, but he did not listen.

Yuan Shao even insisted that Cao Cao was just a minister under his command, and that Cao Cao would never dare to resist whatever he asked him to do.

Now, the tiger has finally become a threat and caused a disaster.

After taking Chang'an, Cao Cao had already controlled the three major states of Sili, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Its strength is second only to Hebei.

Moreover, with the emperor in his hands, Cao Cao could do many things openly at any time.

Seeing that no one agreed, Yuan Shao said angrily, "I usually tell you not to speak, but you all act violently. Now that I tell you to speak, you all become mute instead?"

Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Shao and wanted to slap him in the face.

It is true that “one incompetent general can tire out the entire army”!
If he had listened to the advice and had the emperor in his hands, how could Cao Cao have any chance?

He had caused so much suffering, and now he was taking his anger out on his subjects!

This scene made Zhang Sui feel as if he had returned to the time before he traveled through time. Those small leaders in the company were incompetent and stubborn. When something went wrong, they liked to find someone else to take the blame.

Thinking of the situations in history, Zhang Sui couldn't help but say, "These are not the worst."

When everyone saw Zhang Sui speaking for the first time, they all looked over.

Yuan Shao also frowned.

He never thought of letting Zhang Sui speak.

In his eyes, Zhang Sui was just a young boy from a farming family.

Being able to achieve some success as a commander is already his limit.

What does he know about national affairs?
However, since Zhang Sui was the only one who spoke, he didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "How do you say it?"

Zhang Sui said: "Now that Cao Cao has taken Chang'an, the west will be directly connected to Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Guanzhong princes."

"These people were once the tyrants of Xiliang."

"They have a large number of war horses and strong cavalry."

"Once they unite with Cao Cao, Cao Cao's strength will increase several times."

"As far as I know, among the princes in Guanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui are the most powerful." "Ma Teng is the descendant of General Fu Bo Ma Yuan."

"Han Sui was once your comrade-in-arms, and was a member of the staff of General He Jin."

"Although they have rebelled, they are still drooling over the official titles of the Han Dynasty."

"If Cao Cao uses the emperor's name to issue an edict of amnesty, it will be a tricky matter."

"If possible, General, you can send an envoy from Bingzhou to contact them, and use the title of Great General of the Han Dynasty to attract their cooperation, so as to cut off their possibility of contacting Cao Cao in advance."

Historically, Ma Teng and Han Sui were persuaded by the Inspector of the Imperial Guards, Zhong Yao, and they even sent hostages to Xu Du.

When the Battle of Guandu broke out, Yuan Shao paid no attention to Ma Teng and Han Sui, and went straight to fight Cao Cao.

As a result, Zhong Yao led an army of Guanzhong princes including Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Bingzhou, catching Bingzhou off guard.

Guo Yuan, a general under Bingzhou Mu Gao Gan, also died in this battle.

This dealt a huge blow to Yuan Shao.

After the failure of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao retreated and no longer moved south. A big reason for this was Ma Teng and Han Sui.

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, Ju Shou and Tian Feng both looked unhappy.

They hadn't thought about this problem before.

After Zhang Sui’s reminder, they were surprised to realize that this was indeed the truth!

Many people nodded in agreement.

Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shao and said, "General, what Bo Cheng said makes a lot of sense."

"Send an envoy from Bingzhou immediately to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui."

"As long as they are willing to unite, we can make appropriate concessions."

Seeing everyone react in this way, Yuan Shao also became hesitant.

At this moment, Guo Tu and Xun Chen looked at each other, and Xun Chen stood up and said, "I think it's inappropriate!"

Everyone looked at Xun Chen.

Zhang Sui saw Xun Chen stand up, sighed secretly, and retreated behind Gao Lan.

Hopeless.

Once Guo Tu and Xun Chen stood up, Yuan Shao would definitely not listen to him anymore.

Xun Chen continued: "Ma Teng and Han Sui are both rebellious people."

"Cao Cao is now under the banner of the Son of Heaven, and he represents the imperial court."

"How could the imperial court be in league with the rebels?"

"Now that we have taken the initiative to associate ourselves with the rebellion, the general's reputation will surely be greatly weakened in the eyes of outsiders."

"The general is a great general of the Han Dynasty, a descendant of the Yuan family, who has been a noble for four generations. He represents light and beauty, justice and courage. But now he wants to cooperate with the rebels and even make concessions. How do you want the people of the world to see the general?"

"Besides, Cao Cao has only taken Chang'an now."

"Even if he takes Xiliang, so what?"

"We are about to unify Hebei."

"As long as we take Huainan and Xuzhou, half of the world will be ours."

"Why should we fear a mere Cao Cao?"

Tian Feng looked towards Yuan Shao, and seeing Yuan Shao nodding in agreement, Tian Feng sneered secretly.

When everyone heard Xun Chen finish speaking, they all looked at Ju Shou and Tian Feng.

But Tian Feng stopped talking.

Ju Su glanced at Tian Feng, then at Yuan Shao, and also let out a long sigh.

Seeing that Ju Shou and Tian Feng finally stopped deliberately opposing the Yingchuan faction, Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Isn't that it?"

"We are all working towards a common goal, wouldn't it be nice if we could all get along?"

Looking past the crowd and landing on Zhang Sui, Yuan Shao said, "Bocheng, did you hear that? Your trip to Xuzhou this time is extremely important."

"If you can't take Xuzhou, don't blame me for getting mad!"
