Chapter 1111 The matchmaking plan
Ju Su was sad.
The conflict between the Ruying and Hebei groups has always existed and has never stopped, but it has been unexpected to this point. Yuan Shao suffered consecutive setbacks. Although he still has certain advantages, his advantages are no longer obvious. If he continues to use internal friction, it will be difficult to expect any ideal results in the autumn offensive. By the time Sun Ce has a firm foothold in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao has no advantage. He only has one state, but he is attacked from all sides, and the situation is not optimistic.
"Brother Zhengnan, although he must first settle the country when he fights against foreign countries, now that Yuan Tan is defeated and captured, the Ruying faction has stopped and has no power to fight again. Should we stop when we see the opportunity and use our intelligence. If we just pursue it repeatedly, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the lord?"
Shen Pei's tone was slightly lowered, "Don't you want to pursue and fight hard and kill them all. Since you are the minister of the lord, how can you ignore the lord's great cause? But the people of Ru Ying are too ambitious and look down on others. If they don't cut off their branches and leaves, when he calms down, they will inevitably have the same behavior and are full of trouble. How can you lose your horse and lose your horse? Frustration may not be a bad thing. How many smooth roads can you achieve great things in ancient and modern times? As for the lord, you are not burdened by the party and imprisonment. How could he have a great reputation after six years of guarding the tomb? If it were the three Dukes of the Yuan family, it would not be his turn."
Ju Su saw that Shen Pei was sincere but not very respectful, so he quickly dissuaded him. Shen Pei smiled and waved his hand. "Your Majesty, it is a loss to get someone who doesn't say anything. Yuan Hao, both of you are wise men from Hebei. If you want to accomplish great things, you must help you. I know that there are many people who say I am domineering behind my back, and you also have some complaints about me. Today, I cut off my chest and abdomen and showed my heart, just to tell you my feelings. No matter what Ru Ying people say, I am a native of Jizhou who is dedicated to serving the lord, it depends on whether the lord can fulfill my Hebei's long-cherished wish."
"Although that's the case, if you are afraid of others, your behavior is better. Brother Zhengnan should endure it." Ju Su sighed. "This is probably the best opportunity for me, Hebei, in the past century, and you can't lose the big picture because of a small amount."
Shen Pei said, "Are you worried about the emperor or Sun Ce?"
Ju Su thought about it and leaned back against the wall of the car. "I am worried about the emperor and Sun Ce, but when I think about it carefully, Brother Zhengnan is right. What we should worry more about is the body of the lord. Brother Zhengnan, the Han Dynasty collapsed and the world is in chaos. Sun Ce was just weak and the emperor was just growing up, but the lord is nearly fifty years old. He has such a temperament and likes to hide everything in his heart. It may be bad for his health after a long time."
"So we can't just look in front of us." Shen Pei said lightly: "Duang, which one do you think Yuan Xi or Yuan Shang can inherit the great cause of his lord?"
Ju Su looked at Shen Pei in surprise. Shen Pei's face was calm, but his eyes were firm. It could be seen that this idea was not a temporary idea, but a long-term plan. Ju Su was stunned for a moment and was very nervous, but he immediately realized that Shen Pei looked farther than him, and the plan was more detailed and more stable than him. Sun Ce was older, and Yuan Shao's chance of regaining the advantage in the short term is not high. If he barely did it, he might suffer a heavy blow. It is very necessary to make a good plan. If an accident occurs, he will not be in a hurry.
In this way, it is indeed a good thing that Yuan Tan was defeated and captured. The battle for heirs was resolved invisibly. Although Yuan Xi was already an adult, he was able to be of medium power. Feng Ji and other Qingzhou people were complemented by each other, so it was naturally not the choice of Jizhou people. Shen Pei mentioned him just to say something. In his mind, only Yuan Shang is the most suitable. The young master and the strong minister should be the result that Shen Pei was most happy to see.
Ju Su re-examined the entire situation in his mind, and roughly guessed Shen Pei's plan, and couldn't help but feel scared. If Shen Pei's plan was implemented and the focus was on Yuan Shang, he would not be able to enter the full-scale offensive stage for at least five or six years, and he might have to further shrink his defense line. It is of course a good thing to slow down the pace, and you can have more time to plan, but will this make Sun Ce grow bigger and miss the opportunity to kill him?
Ju Su raised his concerns. Shen Pei shook her head.
"Gongyu, I just said that Sun Ce is indeed a strong enemy, but he is not the only strong enemy. The emperor of Chang'an, Cao Cao from Yizhou, and even Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei from Youzhou may become our opponents. Even the people of Xiliang who are very stable recently may suddenly jump out and get a share. Yu Fuluo has said several times that Niu Fu is frequently moving around Yanmen, as if he intends to invade the Xiongnu's herd land."
Shen Pei sighed, revealing a little tiredness. "The wolves are around, but the people of Ruying turn a blind eye and are determined to instigate their lord to fight south. Even if they defeat Sun Ce, what if they defeat Sun Ce? If there is any loss in Jizhou, the lord is still a tree without roots and a water without source. Yanzhou is deserted, and Yuzhou is occupied by Sun Ce for many years. The aristocratic family is broken, but many poor families have taken advantage of the situation to rise. The Yellow Turbans are also making a comeback. Can they support their lord? Duke and Sun Ce is in the limelight at the moment. We should not rush to go out to fight. Wait a minute, and it may be better."
Ju Shu understood it. "Wait for him to be confused?"
Shen Pei took a sip of wine and then said, "Sun Ce was born in a humble background. Most of the people he used were similar. These people had no industry to support. For fame and fortune, they prefer to be enterprising. At this time, everyone is brave and competed for the first place, and it is difficult to stand out. If they slow down and have no achievements, they will naturally devote their thoughts to internal struggles. The villain is the same but not harmonious. These profit-oriented people are fighting for their own interests. They are full of gains and losses, and they are full of attention. How can they live in harmony for a long time? The wind will not last the day, and the rain will not last the day. Sun Ce will soon be in a civil strife and will not take care of themselves."
Ju Su nodded repeatedly. The analysis made sense and put his vision in a long-term way. Although there were some difficulties in front of him, it would not last long.
"Where is that emperor?"
"Son of the Emperor." Shen Pei thought for a while. "Duangyu, why do you think the Emperor has ignored Guo Yi for more than half a year, and now he suddenly sent someone to investigate the case?"
"Is Sun Ce forced?"
"It seems that Sun Ce was forced, but in fact it was more like the emperor being induced but not triggered." Shen Pei frowned. "I always feel that the emperor is balancing the lord and Sun Ce, and wanting to get along with both sides. Is this the emperor's idea or Xun Yu's plan? I don't know. No matter who's idea is, it's not a good thing for the lord. Why not take advantage of this severe drought in Guanzhong to wipe out the imperial court's majesty and eliminate the consequences in the future."
Ju Su took a breath of cold air, the wine glass in his hand slid off, and the wine was spilled everywhere.
Shen Pei was mentally prepared and smiled slightly. "It's better to die due to natural disasters now than to be killed by the lord in the future? Is such a good opportunity not needed, isn't it too waste?"
Ju Su hurriedly picked up the wine glass, took out his towel to wipe his clothes, and took the opportunity to calm himself down again. He quickly weighed the situation. "Brother Zhengnan, what if Sun Ce supports the court?"
