Chapter 739

"Sigh! Because of some reasons, I am somewhat unable to look directly at this term!"

"Yes... you all will understand after looking at this intelligence!"

Saying this, Su Xuan handed the intelligence in his hand to Seeing Xun You You and the others to read.

Seeing Xun You You immediately raised an eyebrow and said: "This Yuan Shao is truly making one bad move after another! At such a critical moment, he actually cripples his own arms, and the key is that he is so indecisive in handling matters;"

"Since he was already prepared to take down Xu You, why not execute him directly? Instead, he left him an opportunity to escape?"

"The result led to Xu You running to defect to Cao Cao, bringing intelligence that caused the grain supply camp to be burned!"

"Simply..."

He didn't even know what else to say!

Yuan Shao deserves to reach this point today!

He could foresee that the probability of Yuan Shao's defeat and death had skyrocketed.

"Indeed!"

Xi Zhicai on the side also nodded speechlessly: "Starting from the execution of Liu Bei, this Yuan Shao has been acting as if he lost his mind, repeatedly making astonishing moves!"

"Especially at such a critical moment of a decisive battle with Cao Cao, this is very fatal!"

"If it weren't for his deep foundations, his defeat could be declared right now!"

"But even with deep foundations, the possibility of his defeat and death has increased significantly at this time!"

At this moment, Guo Jia couldn't help but interject: "Yuan Shao is indeed foolish, but Cao Cao is the person who must not be underestimated the most!"

"This man, in terms of talent and strategy, is absolutely not inferior to you or me!"

"This is definitely an extremely strong opponent!"

"No wonder the Lord has always cherished him! This man is indeed a talent!"

"Unfortunately, what he will face in the future is a Heaven-Man like the Lord!"

"Divine abilities cannot defeat the mandate of heaven; monsters cannot compare to those who use cheats!"

"Otherwise, he might really have the possibility of seizing the world and achieving a great hegemony!"

Having followed Su Xuan for so many years, Guo Jia had learned quite a few catchphrases and vocabulary.

"Using cheats" was one of them.

"Indeed!"

Seeing Xun You You and the others nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao was indeed a very formidable figure.

"My Lord!"

At this time, Seeing Xun You You cupped his hands to Su Xuan: "The decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is coming, and we should also prepare to attack the Central Plains!"

"We only need to wait for them to decide the winner, and that will be the time for us to mobilize our troops!"

"Although it is a year or so ahead of our expected time, there will be some gaps in talent."

"But if we grit our teeth, or delay the reform time by a few months, we should still be able to gradually complete the reforms in the six provinces of the North and the Central Plains, what does the Lord think?"

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Then let's start preparing! Once Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao and his main force enters Jizhou, that will be the moment for us to send troops to Yuzhou and Xuzhou!"

"As for Yanzhou? We can give Cao Cao some more time so that he can move his family to Jizhou!"

"Of course, perhaps I don't need to go easy on him; Cao Cao will likely move his family away at the first opportunity."

He would not forget Cao Cao's cunning, and that there was still a Xun Yu in Xu Chang City.

They were not simple characters.

"As for Bingzhou, Guanzhong, and other places, let's delay the recovery for now!"

"Continue to maintain the status quo, and let Jia Shijiu, Jia Yi, and the others continue to manage them!"

"Wait until we take the six provinces of the North and the Central Plains, and initially complete the reforms there, and have a supply of new talent!"

"Then gradually incorporate these two places into the scope of control and reform!"

"As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, that can be left for last."

Under normal circumstances, if the six northern provinces, Bingzhou, Guanzhong, and Han Zhong were truly taken, then Liu Zhang of Yizhou should basically surrender.

But Su Xuan's situation was somewhat different.

His new policy reforms would touch upon the inherent interests of too many aristocratic clans and powerful families.

And the aristocratic clans and powerful families within Yizhou could be said to be deeply rooted and countless.

Even if they knew they would fail, and even if Liu Zhang were to surrender and submit at that time, the representatives of the interests of the aristocratic clans and powerful families under him would likely not agree.

To Su Xuan, this was actually not a bad thing.

At least he felt so himself.

He just happened to need to purge a batch of aristocratic clans and powerful families with very dirty foundations.

While intimidating people's hearts, it could also free up enough land and living space for the vast number of common people in Yizhou.

If they all surrendered directly, it would actually be more of a headache and more troublesome.

"The Lord is wise!"

Xu You and the others cupped their hands in agreement.

They had been worried that the Lord was too eager for success.

Now it seemed they had thought too much.

Their Lord was still as steady as ever, having his own rhythm, and would not be easily influenced by external factors.

This was very good.
