Chapter 613

"This is absolutely not allowed!"

"The strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf will not work here!"

"Only two tigers fighting and both suffering is what we want."

Speaking of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, it reminded Xu You of the time when Yuan Shao personally orchestrated the suggestion for Grand General He Jin to summon Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to lead troops into Luoyang to protect the Emperor.

Wasn't that the classic example of the failure of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, ultimately tasting the bitter fruit?

Of course, Xu You was not a stupid person and could naturally see that Yuan Shao, or even the Yuan clan, doing so was actually intentional.

They just wanted Dong Zhuo and the others to stir up Luoyang and weaken the imperial power so that the Yuan clan could profit from the chaos, or even eventually replace the Han and establish themselves?

It's a pity! In the end, it went out of control!

Or rather, it didn't completely go out of control, but Yuan Shao did it on purpose.

It was just to let Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji die at the hands of Dong Zhuo, so that Yuan Shao could take over everything of the Yuan clan and become the biggest winner.

After all, if the Yuan clan's original plan to replace the Han had really succeeded directly, the biggest beneficiary would not have been Yuan Shao, nor even Yuan Shu, but the Yuan clan's legitimate eldest son, Yuan Ji.

This was absolutely not what Yuan Shao wanted to see.

Nor was it what Yuan Shu wanted to see.

So, in the end, they played it out of control.

Because all of this was Yuan Shao's handiwork!

Blame it on Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji for being too naive and too stupid.

They actually chose to hand over the entire plan to Yuan Shao, the eldest son of a concubine, to execute.

It was simply stupid to the extreme.

You must know that if a man does not work for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him!

Yuan Shao was never a person who sacrificed himself for others.

He was just a normal person.

Normal people are all selfish.

After all, normal people are not saints or sanctimonious hypocrites.

Putting one's own interests first is what a normal person should do!

"Oh? Two tigers fighting?"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "Well said! Well said! Indeed, driving the tiger to swallow the wolf is not feasible! Because whether it is Jia Wu or the Hu Ren and Xianbei, they will all be our enemies in the future;"

"It is better to weaken them all!"

"Haha! Xu You, your suggestion is very good! Then let's do as you say!"

"We just need to secretly provide the Hu Ren and Xianbei with certain intelligence on Jia Wu!"

"Let them deal with Jia Wu!"

"As for Zhang Yan, let's probe his tone first to see if he is willing to send troops to deal with Jia Wu;"

"If he is willing, we can give a heads-up to the Hu Ren and Xianbei, and then let Zhang Yan contact and coordinate with them himself! We won't participate too much, lest we be caught by Su Xuan and he finds an excuse to send troops."

He was really afraid of provoking Su Xuan to send troops.

He was very clear about the terror of the Black Armor Army and the Xuanwu Battalion.

And those fierce generals under Su Xuan—if they really sent troops to Bingzhou, the Hu Ren and Xianbei might really not be their match.

"My lord is wise! This matter is entrusted to me! I will handle it well!"

Xu You immediately accepted the order happily.

After speaking, he triumphantly provoked Guo Tu.

Seeing Guo Tu gnashing his teeth, wanting to hit someone.

But the more he was like this, the more painful Xu You felt inside.

"Very good!"

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, then looked around and said: "Alright! Let's arrange the Bingzhou matter like this! Next, let's discuss how to further use troops against Gongsun Zan and how to take down Gongsun Zan as soon as possible!"

That afternoon, Su Xuan received urgent intelligence from Jizhou.

"My lord! This is urgent intelligence from Jia Jiu in Jizhou, please take a look!"

Jia San found Su Xuan in a hurry at the naval base in Changsha and handed over the intelligence.

"Hmm? Intelligence from Jizhou?"

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing that Jia San attached such importance to it, he immediately took the intelligence and read it quickly, then raised his head and chuckled: "Hehe! This Xu You and Guo Tu are not bad! They actually noticed that Jia Wu has my support? Their reaction is not slow!"

"Hmm?"

Guo Jia, who was on the side, heard these two names and paused his drinking action, then took a gulp of wine and asked curiously: "My lord! Has Yuan Shao made a response? Are they planning to divide their troops to deal with Jia Wu in Bingzhou?"

"At this point in time, they probably can't spare many troops, right?"

"At this time, it should be the critical moment for them to deal with Gongsun Zan. They cannot send troops themselves;"

"Let me guess, is Yuan Shao planning to persuade the Hu Ren, Xianbei, or even the Heishan Army to take action against Jia Wu?"

Guo Jia had quite a bit of understanding of Xu You and Guo Tu.

He had had many contacts with them in the past.

Xu You, as a Nanyang native, also studied in Yingchuan.

He was relatively flamboyant and arrogant.

He had ability, but his flaws were even greater.

Guo Jia did not like this person very much.
