Chapter 341

Seeing Xun You You continued: "I estimate that Dong Zhuo will probably make a big fanfare to publicize the matter of you becoming the Governor of Jingzhou, in order to provoke the conflict between the Lord and Yuan Shu, and let us and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian attack each other;"

"In this way, Dong Zhuo can not only vent his anger but also contain us and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, leaving us with no heart to care about him and the warlord alliance's crusade against Dong."

Li Yan couldn't help but speak: "But the Lord doesn't intend to take Nanyang now."

Seeing Xun You You shook his head with a smile: "But Yuan Shu doesn't know! And he might not believe it;"

"After all, we have long since stationed troops in Xinye and Deng County, confronting Yuan Shu for nearly a month!"

"In this situation, Yuan Shu is very likely to strike first and take the initiative to attack us."

"We must be prepared!"

Li Yan nodded in realization: "That's true!"

This is indeed something that Yuan Shu would do.

"What is your suggestion, Gongda?"

Su Xuan asked next.

Seeing Xun You You immediately said: "My opinion is that the troops in Nanyang should remain still and wait for Yuan Shu to attack;"

"Then, we will give him a hard blow and win a battle with overwhelming superiority;"

"Then, we will come to negotiate peace with him and state that we have no intention of seizing Nanyang for the time being!"

"We can agree with him that everything will wait until after the warlord alliance crusades against Dong Zhuo before competing for the ownership of Nanyang."

"I think, as long as Yuan Shu is not stupid after being beaten awake, he will agree!"

If he doesn't agree, then just beat him until he agrees.

It's just that this might miss the warlord crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Seeing Xun You You knew his Lord's plan.

Although his Lord has little interest in crusading against Dong Zhuo.

But he is very interested in the millions of people in Sili Luoyang!

He must participate no matter what and take the opportunity to seize a portion of the population.

After all, in future hegemony, population is the most important thing.

"Agreed!"

Tian Feng also expressed his approval at this time: "Now it is not appropriate for us to completely tear our faces with Yuan Shu, lest people say we disregard the overall situation and collude with Dong Zhuo, affecting the Lord's reputation!"

This is very likely to happen.

He believed that Yuan Shao and the others should be very clear about the Lord's threat, and if there is an opportunity, they will definitely not spare any effort to strike the Lord.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded upon hearing this: "Then let's do as Gongda said! After all, it also takes time to digest the other commanderies."

"I will immediately send orders to Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, asking them to be prepared to deal with the enemy;"

"In addition, after the imperial court's appointment is conveyed, I will mobilize Zhang He's Brave Cavalry Battalion, and I will personally lead the soldiers of the Personal Guard Battalion to assist in the battle and meet Yuan Shu."

Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Yuan Shu for several years!

The last time they met was when he married Xun Cai.

Su Xuan was actually quite glad that his neighbor was Yuan Shu; if it were Yuan Shao, it would be more troublesome and harder to deal with.

In the blink of an eye, 3 days passed,

The imperial court's envoy finally arrived at Jiangling City in Nanjun and conveyed the imperial decree.

Su Xuan officially became the Governor of Jingzhou.

And because Dong Zhuo's envoy deliberately delayed and Dong Zhuo's intentional propaganda.

Yuan Shu's side had already received the news that Su Xuan was to become the Governor of Jingzhou 1 day earlier.

He wanted to intercept and kill Dong Zhuo's envoy, but he couldn't find anyone at all.

In the end, he could only give up.

Of course, this was also because he knew that stopping it would be useless.

"Damn Dong Zhuo, is he deliberately taking revenge on me?"

"Yuan Benchu raised an army to crusade against him, he should go find Yuan Shao! Why target me? I haven't targeted him yet!"

Yuan Shu roared indignantly.

Too bullying!

Yan Xiang and General Ji Ling on the side were speechless.

They thought: "Lord! You and Yuan Shao are family, and this matter, in the final analysis, is the Yuan Clan setting up Dong Zhuo, and even the old master has been captured and thrown into the dungeon!"

"Do you still think you can stay out of it?"

Enjoying the benefits brought by the Yuan Clan, but not wanting the trouble within it.

Where is there such a good thing?

"Lord! Su Xuan has become the Governor of Jingzhou. Next, he might not be peaceful and will probably send troops to attack our Nanyang. We must be prepared. This subordinate requests to take the initiative and launch an attack on Su Xuan first:"

"At the very least, we must pull out his troops and strongholds in Nanyang and drive his tentacles out of Nanyang;"

"Otherwise, they can pose a threat and trouble to us at any time;"

"It will seriously interfere with our subsequent dispatch of troops to Luoyang."

General Ji Ling took the initiative to salute Yuan Shu and requested to fight.

"Hmm?"

Yuan Shu frowned slightly upon hearing this: "But Su Xuan's Black Armor Army and Xuanwu Battalion in Xinye are very fierce. Didn't we already clash before? They are simply impossible to deal with!"
