Chapter 234

"My lord, with such a change in Luoyang, you need to plan early!"

Guo Jia spoke, looking at Lin Yang with burning eyes!

Understanding Lin Yang's ambition!

Guo Jia knew very well that this was an opportunity for Lin Yang!

The majesty of the Han imperial court had now fallen to the bottom!

Taking advantage of this opportunity!

This was the best time for Lin Yang to dispatch troops!

Before, an unprovoked attack might have invited the traitor Dong's imperial edict!

Now, the two traitors Li Jue and Guo Si were holding the Son of Heaven hostage!

All warlords in the world could expand their territory at will!

They didn't even necessarily need to petition the Son of Heaven for titles!

Guo Jia's words ignited the crowd!

The Han imperial court was already like this!

No one here was a die-hard loyalist of the Han Dynasty!

"My lord, with the change in Luoyang, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu will inevitably have movements. This is the best time for us to dispatch troops to Qingzhou!" Chen Deng bowed and said, his voice rising a bit!

Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu!

Both of them were people who cared about the Han imperial court!

Now that the court was in trouble!

It was impossible for them to do nothing!

And!

The land of Sili was fertile soil!

Even if it was destroyed by the two traitors Li Jue and Guo Si, its geographical location was there!

360

"Yuan Long is wrong. Yuan Benchu only has the name of the four-generation, three-duke family. Now that there is a change in Luoyang and the Son of Heaven is in trouble, Yuan Benchu will not dispatch troops to crusade against the two traitors Li and Guo!"

Gu Yong, sitting below, retorted!

Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and Bingzhou!

Controlling two provinces, his prestige intimidated the world!

If he really cared about the Han Dynasty!

He could have dispatched troops into Sili long ago to crusade against the traitors!

However, Yuan Benchu didn't; instead, he attacked Qingzhou!

Four generations and three dukes—that's all there is to it!

"Yuan Tan is mistaken. Even if Yuan Shao doesn't crusade against the two traitors Li and Guo, how could he give up the land of the Capital Province!"

Pointing to the location of Luoyang City, the land of the Capital Province near Henei Commandery must have a large number of refugees!

Even if Yuan Benchu didn't have the heart to restore the Han Dynasty!

Could he remain unmoved by the land of Sili and the refugees?

"And this time, Lu Bu led the Bingzhou cavalry into Yanzhou, which is Cao Cao's territory. How dare he not return to support!"

According to the intelligence, Lu Bu defected to Zhang Miao, the Administrator of Chen Liu!

The two joined forces and could absolutely threaten Cao Mengde's rule!

With fire in the backyard, Cao Mengde would inevitably lead his troops back!

This was the perfect time for them to take Qingzhou!

Watching the strategists argue below, Lin Yang looked at Guo Jia and Cheng Yu!

"Fengxiao, Zhongde, what do you think?"

Now, after a period of rest, Zang Ba's Taishan Army had also been settled!

Lin Yang's army had sufficient grain and was fully prepared!

It was time to consider the next step of advancing troops!

"My lord, in the current situation, it is indeed the perfect time to take Qingzhou!"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and stood out to say!

Qingzhou had not yet been taken by Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu!

If Lu Bu threatened Cao Mengde's Yanzhou!

The latter would inevitably retreat to clash with Lu Bu and Zhang Miao!

In this way, Qingzhou would be left empty!

This was Lin Yang's opportunity!

As for whether Yuan Benchu would retreat to plot for Sili, Cheng Yu couldn't guess!

"Hmm!" Nodding, Cheng Yu's words were correct; now was indeed the best time to take Qingzhou!

Qingzhou bordered Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou!

Now that Cao Mengde was in Yanzhou, he would definitely retreat!

Lu Bu and Zhang Miao joining forces was definitely an act of rebellion!

In the original historical trajectory, Cao Cao frequently clashed with Lu Bu and others in Yanzhou!

Therefore, Lin Yang was very certain that Cao Mengde would retreat!

Then the only one left was Yuan Benchu!

Because of his existence!

The time of Luoyang's burning had been delayed!

He didn't know if Yuan Benchu would retreat to plot for Sili!

"Fengxiao, what do you think about this?"

Pondering inwardly, Lin Yang looked at Guo Jia below!

The latter didn't seem to have spoken yet!

"My lord, I think Qingzhou can be taken, but not entirely!"

Guo Jia bowed slightly and stood out!

"Oh? Tell me!"

This statement made Lin Yang interested!

Not entirely!

This was different from Cheng Yu and the others!

"My lord, look, Qingzhou is divided into six commanderies: Pingyuan, Donglai, Jinan, Le'an, Beihai, and Qi!"

"Now Cao Mengde's army occupies Jinan and Qi!"

Guo Jia pointed at the map, constantly describing the situation of the recent war in Qingzhou!

"And Yuan Benchu occupies Pingyuan and Le'an!"

"Now the two armies are stationed in Shouguang and clashing!"

Pointing to the location of Shouguang County, everyone looked over!

"Fengxiao's meaning is to have the lord take the remaining Donglai and Beihai commanderies?"

Cheng Yu, watching Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu's armies, was the quickest to react!

Now neither Cao Mengde nor Yuan Benchu's armies had entered Beihai or Donglai!

This gave them an opportunity!

If they took advantage of Cao Mengde and the others' standoff to take the remaining two commanderies!

Then they could divide Qingzhou into three!

After all, the two commanderies in Qingzhou that bordered Xuzhou were just Beihai and Donglai!

"That's right. If we occupy the whole of Qingzhou, we will inevitably clash with Yuan Benchu!"

Guo Jia nodded; compared to Chen Deng's idea of occupying the whole of Qingzhou, Guo Jia was more prudent!

Having seen Lin Yang's rice and corn seeds!

Guo Jia knew one thing very clearly!

That Qingzhou was not a good place for farming!
