Chapter 333

"My lord, if you refuse Gu Linzhi at this moment."

"With your status as a member of the Yuan family, I fear you will be labeled as an accomplice of the pseudo-emperor by him."

"This situation must not happen!"

"I fear the only plan for now is to first agree to this 'invitation to campaign against the pseudo-emperor' from Gu Linzhi."

"If he harbors other bad intentions, it won't be too late for us to see the moves and dismantle them."

As Ju Shou's voice fell.

People from the Hebei faction like Tian Feng and Shen Pei all expressed agreement.

However.

The traditional performance program of the Yuan camp hadn't started yet, how could Ju Shou make the final decision just like that?

Guo Tu, as if a mad dog smelled a scent, pointed at Ju Shou and scolded:

"Ju Gongyu!"

"What kind of bad idea are you giving the lord?"

"Although that Yuan Gonglu is a person without strategy, declaring himself emperor recklessly has caused the world to be furious."

"But you must not forget that compared to Yuan Gonglu, Gu Linzhi is a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying!"

"How can the lord agree to his invitation casually?"

"Isn't this seeking skin from a tiger?"

Actually, Guo Tu was not wrong.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see.

The "invitation to campaign against the pseudo-emperor" issued by Gu Yi must be harboring evil intentions.

But even if they knew it harbored evil, what could they do?

If they didn't join this "Han Prime Minister" Gu Yi, they would be labeled as colluding with the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu.

Either way, it was a loss for Yuan Shao.

"Guo Gongze, could it be that you have a wonderful plan?"

"If you have no strategy, stay aside, don't act like a mad dog that only knows how to bite people all day."

Tian Feng scolded.

However.

How could Guo Tu take this anger?

He and Tian Feng had long-standing grievances.

Almost every time, the two would argue until their faces were red during council.

This time was naturally no exception.

Immediately, the two started a mutual spraying mode in the camp.

Arguing until Yuan Shao's head grew big.

"All of you shut up!"

Yuan Shao said angrily.

Regarding these strategists of his, Yuan Shao was full of resentment in his heart.

It was like this every time.

They couldn't discuss a good strategy, but both sides always clung to certain issues and argued endlessly.

As a result, when confronting Dong Zhuo and Gu Yi, the performance of these strategists was so unsatisfactory.

People who didn't know would think they were deliberately acting against Yuan Shao!

But in fact, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on these strategists of the Yuan camp.

The butt determines the head.

The Yuan camp is not short of smart people.

But every so-called smart person places their own interests above the lord, Yuan Shao.

This led to the fundamental starting point of their strategizing being to ensure that their own interests would not be harmed.

But as the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world.

The competition between the Henan faction and the Hebei faction would eventually be paid for by the lord, Yuan Shao.

Of course.

If Jizhou was attacked, these strategists under Yuan Shao would reach a brief peace.

For example, during the second coalition of warlords against Dong Zhuo not long ago.

Due to Gongsun Zan's defection and leading troops north across the Yellow River, various commanderies and counties in Jizhou suffered attacks from Gongsun Zan.

If it weren't for Qu Yi and the Vanguard Death Squad.

And the strategizing of this group of strategists.

I fear Yuan Shao, whose main force suffered heavy losses at Hulao Pass, might not have been able to hold Jizhou from being captured by Gongsun Zan.

After two months of fighting.

Gongsun Zan, although he eliminated a part of Yuan Shao's army.

But he failed to capture many cities.

He could only return with hatred.

……

In the end, Yuan Shao adopted Ju Shou's suggestion.

In terms of attitude, he firmly expressed a clear line with the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu and accepted the "invitation to campaign against the pseudo-emperor" from Han Prime Minister Gu Yi.

At the same time.

Youzhou

Youbeiping City

In sharp contrast to Yuan Shao's extreme entanglement.

Gongsun Zan accepted Gu Yi's "invitation to campaign against the pseudo-emperor" without suspense.

For one, Gongsun Zan had completely torn his face with the Guandong aristocratic group.

If he were to offend Gu Yi again, it would likely be better to declare himself finished directly.

Secondly, Gongsun Zan's Youzhou and Yuan Shu's Yizhou were not adjacent.

He only needed to respond to Gu Yi's call in name and express his own attitude.

Of course.

In Gongsun Zan's heart.

The primary enemy was still Yuan Shao.

However.

If he didn't find a way to solve the threat brought by Qu Yi and the Vanguard Death Squad.

I fear Gongsun Zan would never be able to capture Jizhou in his next life!

……

Huainan

Liu Bei and Sun Ce also successively accepted Gu Yi's "invitation to campaign against Yuan Shu."

There was no way, Liu Bei had the surname Liu and had always flown the banner of being a Han royal relative.

Yuan Shu's actions were truly betraying the Han family.

From any angle.

Liu Bei had to respond to Gu Yi's call.

Otherwise, his prestige as a so-called Han royal relative would instantly fall to the bottom.

And for Sun Ce.

Naturally, there was even less reason to refuse Gu Yi.

He himself was a little brother of Dong Zhuo's force.

Moreover, the blood feud between Sun Ce and the Guandong aristocratic group could no longer be reconciled.

After Gu Yi took power, Sun Ce's identity as "subordinate" to Dong Zhuo's army remained unchanged.

And when it came to fighting Yuan Shu, Sun Ce was undoubtedly the most skilled!

In the past few years, he had been fighting Yuan Shu in Yizhou.
