Chapter 542: Seeing Ju Shou's speechlessness, Cao Cao's secret joy (2nd update!)

At this time, Seeing Ju Shou came out and bowed: "My Lord! I think this is impossible!"

"You must know that the Black Mountain Army is different from the Nanyang Yellow Turbans!"

"Zhang Yan and the others are Zhang Jiao's direct descendants. Su Xuan killed Zhang Jiao and defeated Zhang Yan, who was still in Guang Sect City at the time, causing him to flee all the way. He is the least likely to forgive Su Xuan and defect to Su Xuan!"

"Please don't think too much, my Lord;"

"Currently, if we want to take Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu as soon as possible and seize Youzhou, we need Zhang Yan's help;"

"Even if we take a step back, what if Zhang Yan really defected to Su Xuan secretly?"

"Su Xuan is far away in Jingzhou, and he cannot intervene in the situation in Jizhou and Youzhou for the time being;"

"Facing the situation here, he would only choose to let Zhang Yan lurk and not expose the fact that he defected to Su Xuan for the time being;"

"And let Zhang Yan work hard for us, build a good relationship with us, let the Lord relax his vigilance toward Zhang Yan, and even reuse Zhang Yan;"

"Wait until there is a need in the future, then Su Xuan might enable Zhang Yan to stab us in the back!"

"Of course, this is a guess. Another possibility is that the Su Chamber of Commerce and the Black Mountain Army just have an ordinary trade relationship, and Zhang Yan did not defect to Su Xuan, then there is no problem at all."

"Therefore, no matter what the situation is, forming an alliance with Zhang Yan at this time and using him to deal with Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu will not be a problem!"

"We can completely test Zhang Yan in this process;"

"If he really shows too much favor to you, my Lord, then it means he is indeed harboring evil intentions and is Su Xuan's man;"

"Conversely, he is not Su Xuan's man!"

"No matter if he is or not, after we take Youzhou, we can just be more wary of him!"

"Even if the opportunity is right, it is not impossible to get rid of him directly."

After taking Youzhou, the existence of the Black Mountain Army would be a pure threat to Yuan Shao.

It is useless to keep it, so it is better to get rid of it early.

"Well said! It makes sense!"

Yuan Shao heard this, and his heart suddenly opened up, and he couldn't help but praise loudly: "It is still you, Gongyu, who said it well! Indeed, no matter what, we must use Zhang Yan now, and we can use Zhang Yan!"

"Everything, wait until we take Youzhou."

"Then it's settled!"

Saying that, Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu: "You continue to make a trip to Black Mountain! Tell Zhang Yan that I agree to his conditions! Let him establish the alliance agreement as soon as possible, and then send troops to help me attack Gongsun Zan's rear."

"Understood!"

Guo Tu bowed and accepted.

At the same time, he glanced at Seeing Ju Shou quietly, thinking to himself: "This Seeing Ju Shou doesn't speak, but when he does, he shocks everyone. His ability is great! It seems that I have to guard against him in the future, lest he steals the limelight and steals my position in the Lord's heart."

The sensitive Seeing Ju Shou naturally noticed Guo Tu's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded in his heart: "This Guo Tu is really speechless! Is he even guarding against me?"

"I don't have the intention to fight for power with you!"

"Moreover, as a chief strategist under the Lord, shouldn't one focus on the Lord's great cause?"

"Blindly fighting for power is not only inferior, but also extremely detrimental to the Lord's great cause!"

Look, every time this Guo Tu says something, he has to argue with Xu You, and Xu You is the same.

It has seriously affected the Lord's judgment and efficiency.

Even, it is very easy to mislead the Lord, and at the same time, enhance the Lord's suspicious and indecisive personality.

This is an extremely detrimental thing.

Unfortunately, Seeing Ju Shou knew that he couldn't convince Guo Tu and Xu You.

Even if he tried to persuade them, he would probably be targeted by Guo Tu and Xu You.

With the idea of avoiding trouble, Seeing Ju Shou directly gave up the idea of persuading Guo Tu and Xu You.

These two people are not existences he can convince.

In Dongjun, Yanzhou, in the Han King's Mansion,

"What? The Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo are actually both dead? Are you kidding me?"

Cao Cao also received this news, and he was shocked.

This sounded like fake news.

"I also hope it's fake!"

Xun Yu shook his head bitterly: "But I have confirmed it again and again, this news is absolutely true!"

"Speaking of which, all of this is Wang Yun and Li Ru's fault!"

"If Wang Yun hadn't been secretive in his actions and hadn't given His Majesty enough protection, this wouldn't have happened!"

"And that Li Ru has always been lawless. Back then he could poison the young emperor Liu Bian and Empress He, and now he directly killed the Son of Heaven. If I had known this, I should have gotten rid of him directly..."

Xun Yu's hatred for Li Ru was more than that.

It was also because of the policy of enfeoffing kings to mess up the country that Li Ru had come up with.

It directly made the warlords of the world declare themselves kings in a logical way.

This is the way to disaster!

Once this strategy came out, the world was completely messed up.

The disintegration of the Great Han was also completely irreversible.

It would be difficult to unify the world again.

Once people's ambition is stimulated, if they want to turn back, even if they are willing, their subordinates are probably unwilling.

This completely disrupted Xun Yu's plan, and even completely cut off his ideal of supporting the Han family.

Once this strategy came out, it was equivalent to directly declaring the end of the Han family.

There would be almost no accidents.

Unless heaven opens its eyes and another fierce man descends, like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's legendary start, and unifies the world again.

But Xun Yu knew that this was almost impossible.

Even if Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu were alive and in this era, he might not be able to unify the world again and revive the Han family.

Su Xuan, Yuan Shao, and even Cao Cao are not Wang Mang.

The difficulty of reviving the Han family in this era is too great.

"Sigh!"

Cao Cao heard this and sighed deeply, falling into deep thought. Sad?

Naturally, there is some.

He once had the dream of being the Great Han's General of the West, wanting to support the Han family and clear the world.

But his final efforts all failed, so he had to give up and turn to struggle for himself and his family.

On the other hand, he also had joy in his heart.

Because the Son of Heaven representing the Han family was gone, and he had already declared himself King, could he look forward to the throne of the Son of Heaven in the future?

Once the Son of Heaven dies, and he has already declared himself King in a legitimate way, then all the obstacles to declaring himself emperor in name after unifying the world will be gone.
