This is going to be difficult!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Indeed, if they lost the moral high ground, Su Xuan would absolutely send troops to Bingzhou!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Yingchuan is in Cao Cao’s hands and Su Xuan’s territory theoretically does not connect to Bingzhou, and Cao Cao would not allow Su Xuan’s army to pass through Yingchuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Su Xuan could still go through the Sili region of Luoyang!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, the Sili region had long been abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The population had been relocated to Guanzhong or Jingzhou, and there was simply no one there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They could not stop Su Xuan from sending troops to Bingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“It seems that is indeed the case!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Guo Tu: “Guo Gongze! What do you think of what Xu You said?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Tu felt very annoyed and really wanted to say, “I’m looking at it while lying down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he dared not.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he really dared to say that, Lord Yuan Shao would probably chop him down, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he was unwilling to admit defeat just like that, so he did not rush to answer Lord Yuan Shao, but instead glared angrily at Xu You and scolded: “Xu You, if you think my method won’t work, then you give a more feasible method!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Are you really prepared to let that Jia Wu continue to grow in Bingzhou?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You must know, since all of this is Su Xuan playing tricks behind the scenes, and it is aimed at you, my lord;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Then he certainly won’t stop at just these means; he will definitely take advantage of the fact that we cannot spare our hands to accelerate his support for Jia Wu, allowing him to grow rapidly in a short time. If he becomes a great threat to you, my lord, we can’t wait until he is too powerful to be controlled before regretting it, right? Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I want to see how you, Xu You, answer next.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I don’t have any other good ideas, but you might not be able to think of any other good ideas either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao could not help but look at Xu You.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From Guo Tu’s words, he could also tell that Guo Tu had no other good methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu You smiled triumphantly: “I naturally have a method!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, he looked at Lord Yuan Shao: “My lord! Have you forgotten about Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Bandits?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“He is still allied with you, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“We don’t need him to deal with Gongsun Zan anymore, so why not let him send troops to Bingzhou to deal with Jia Wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“We can give him the benefits he wants, and I believe he will not refuse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“The Black Mountains don’t have much fertile land for farming, and Zhang Yan lacks food, clothing, and the like, which is exactly what we can use to manipulate him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“In addition, we can still secretly contact the Xiongnu and Xianbei and provide them with certain support to help them deal with Jia Wu;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I won’t say they will completely annihilate Jia Wu, but at least we can restrict his development and weaken his strength before we can spare our hands;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Then, when we can spare our hands, we can come and deal with Jia Wu ourselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Guo Tu could no longer hold back and immediately interrupted Xu You, sneering: “Hehe! I thought you had some good idea! In the end, aren’t you still planning to unite with the Xiongnu and Xianbei?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Moreover, the Black Mountain Bandits are about to become our next target; are you sure that sending them food and supplies now isn’t aiding the enemy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Isn’t it just looking for each other’s flaws?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As if anyone wouldn’t know how!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For over a year, they had been living in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether it was Guo Tu or Xu You, they had almost made a habit of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“What does my lord think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu You did not rush to answer Guo Tu, but instead turned to look at Lord Yuan Shao with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hmm...”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao stroked his beard and pondered: “Contacting Zhang Yan to let him send troops to Bingzhou is not impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Admittedly, our next target might include him;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“But if he sends troops to deal with Jia Wu, in the process, Zhang Yan’s Black Mountain Army will inevitably suffer losses in troops and generals!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“They might obtain a lot of food and wealth, but they will also have to pay a significant price in military strength;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“This increase and decrease, combined with the fact that the Black Mountain Army finds it difficult to supplement young and strong soldiers from the outside, is acceptable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hehe! My lord is wise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu You smiled and flattered him, then glanced at Guo Tu: “Unlike some people, who can only see one-sided things and cannot see the whole picture! The suggestions given are full of flaws and are simply worthless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You...”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Tu glared at Xu You, wishing he could tear his mouth apart, and retorted: “Aren’t you the same? Why don’t you talk about the Xiongnu and Xianbei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Correct!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao also nodded and looked at Xu You: “You previously felt that if we united with the Xiongnu and Xianbei to deal with Jia Wu, we would lose our moral high ground and provoke Su Xuan to take legitimate action;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“But you then proposed that we should still unite with them. Why? Do you have any other thoughts you haven’t finished speaking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hehe! Naturally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu You smiled and nodded: “Wasn’t I interrupted by someone just now before I could finish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As he spoke, he gave Guo Tu a meaningful look, which made Guo Tu feel stifled, but he couldn’t really say anything for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu You bowed slightly to Lord Yuan Shao with satisfaction: “My lord! It is not that we cannot unite with the Xiongnu and Xianbei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“But we cannot do this openly! We can only do it secretly, and we must not let anyone get a handle on us, especially Su Xuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“As long as we achieve this, even if Su Xuan sees the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and the Black Mountain Army uniting against Jia Wu, he will not find a suitable excuse to send troops.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“In this way, Jia Wu will be much easier to deal with!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao frowned: “Your idea is good, but if we don’t give them benefits, will the Xiongnu and Xianbei agree to unite with us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Of course they will!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu You smiled confidently: “My lord! The Xiongnu and Xianbei have already suffered great losses at the hands of Jia Wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“As long as we can provide some intelligence on Jia Wu from the sidelines and let the Black Mountain Army unite with them, I don’t worry that they won’t agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You must know, whether it is the Xiongnu or the Xianbei, their goal is not just to eliminate Jia Wu for revenge;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“They actually also want to occupy the entire Bingzhou and turn it into their pasture! Otherwise, why would they attack Jia Wu so vigorously?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“With profits to be made, added to the reason for revenge, even if we don’t provide help, they would still deal with Jia Wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Our providing help is actually just to let them deal with Jia Wu better in the future and weaken Jia Wu to a greater extent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“In addition, I chose to only secretly provide them with certain intelligence and let the Black Mountain Army secretly unite with them because I don’t want them to truly completely eliminate Jia Wu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao was stunned and puzzled: “Why? Is it not good to eliminate Jia Wu? Xu You, why are your words self-contradictory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao felt his brain was a bit messy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He felt he couldn’t keep up with Xu You’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“My lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, before Xu You could speak, Ju Shou stepped forward to remind him: “Jia Wu is indeed our great enemy, but barbarians like the Xiongnu and Xianbei are equally untrustworthy; they are jackals and wolves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Correct!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Ju Shou starting to cut in, Xu You hurriedly followed up to explain: “Bingzhou naturally cannot be occupied by Jia Wu, allowing him to grow, but it also cannot be occupied by the Xiongnu and Xianbei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Otherwise, they will inevitably grow in Bingzhou;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“With the power of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, once they occupy Bingzhou, there will likely be a constant stream of troops migrating from the grasslands to Bingzhou;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“By then, not only will we be unable to recover Bingzhou, but the Xiongnu and Xianbei will become our primary enemies and completely clash with us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“If that really happens, it would be disastrous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“By then, what we will have to face are the Xiongnu and Xianbei, who have millions of people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“In that case, let alone going south to take Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, or even unifying the world, we will likely be dragged down in our development speed, pinned down by the Xiongnu and Xianbei with most of our troops and energy, and watch as Cao Cao and Su Xuan grow and expand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: Seeking first subscriptions, custom subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>",1621,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.247Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","699df5ee2fb3486c6fc05f0279aabc00e06461c7eddfd450fb32434cedf6e558","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-390","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-388",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
