In this way, in the eyes of the majority of Confucian scholars, Xi Yu had far-reaching strategic vision and extraordinary intelligence, so his status in the hearts of Confucian scholars became higher.

…

Jizhou, the land of Yecheng.

Yuan Shao also learned about Xi Yu's efforts to suppress demons and eliminate evil spirits and to promote officials to nobility. Yuan Shao immediately summoned Xu You, Guo Tu and Tian Feng to stare at the counselors overnight and discuss countermeasures in the government office.

"Xi Yu is really lucky! It's amazing that he has found such a good opportunity! But how did Xi Yu find such an opportunity?"

"I never expected that Cao Mengde would get such a strange person! Moreover, if Xi Yu can do the job of suppressing demons and eradicating evil, then Xi Yu will definitely be a terrible person!"

After saying that, Xu You stretched out his hand and gently tugged on his beard. His face was full of thoughts, his eyes kept turning, and his whole person was in a panic.

"Lord, in my opinion, there is no way to do anything about this matter now. We have already lost the initiative. At this moment, we should start a war with "Cao Cao"."

"If there is any further delay, I'm afraid we will suffer more losses."

"Lord, you must, you must not go to war with Cao Cao."

Tian Feng immediately retorted, "Lord, our troops are not strong enough now. If we rashly start a war with Cao Cao, we are likely to fall into a stalemate, which will be very detrimental to us..."

"That's wrong. In this situation, we must start a war with Cao Cao immediately. Otherwise, we will fall into a passive situation. If this matter is delayed, I am afraid that all the Confucian scholars in the world will run to Xuzhou..."

Xu You's face was very heavy at this moment. He knew that this matter must be argued for. If it is delayed any longer, with Xiyu's current development speed, Jizhou will soon be completely depleted of Confucian scholars. By then, Jizhou will

There will be no one available.

Once the situation reaches that point, Yuan Shao's powerful advisers and generals will only decrease rather than increase, and the situation is very scary.

Tian Feng also argued hard and retorted, "No, you must not declare war with Cao Cao!"

"Right now, our food supply is not sufficient. It has only been less than a year since we conquered Youzhou. Our financial and military strength have not yet been fully restored. Now we are in a hurry to start a war with Cao Cao. How will we fight this battle?"

"What's more, Cao Cao's subordinate Xi Yu has far-reaching plans, and there are many capable people and strangers under his command. Cao Cao also uses the emperor to control the princes. Now, almost all the Han Dynasty is under Cao Cao's control."

Tian Feng was very opposed, "If we really go to war with Cao Cao, once we lose the first battle, the situation will become very dangerous. I am afraid that the current city will be in the hands of Cao Cao. My lord, please think twice..."

"Tian Feng! You are my lord's adviser. You should have given advice and suggestions for my lord's victory, but you have adopted other people's ambitions and destroyed your own prestige. The war has not yet started. How can you predict that my lord will lose?!"

Not long after, Xu You and Tian Feng got red-faced and even had a big quarrel.

Yuan Shao was very upset, and Guo Tu, Ju Shou and others beside him just said nothing. These two people were very worried that if they were not careful, they would be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, so they did not step forward to dissuade Xu You and Tian Feng.

Furthermore, in the opinion of Guo Tu, Jushu and others, it is okay to declare war with Cao Cao, or not to declare war with Cao Cao. Anyway, there are reasonable and unreasonable reasons, but they will not easily support either side.

Xi Yu has now caused a big trouble for Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

At this moment, Yuan Shao also felt that the main fighting party had its own reasons, and he did have his own reasons for not agreeing to go to war with Cao Cao. However, Yuan Shao also originally agreed to go to war with Cao Cao. If the current situation is allowed to continue, he will face him in the future.

It is absolutely disadvantageous. Instead of wasting it, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and achieve a quick victory.

If we win, we can also get a chance to recuperate, and we can also take advantage of the situation to win the land of Yanzhou.

This matter may seem troublesome at first, but at this time Yuan Shao is equally powerful as Cao Cao. The key to who will win in the end lies in the first battle.

"Okay, you don't have to make any more noise."

Yuan Shao had a sullen face and glared at Xu You and Tian Feng.

"There is no need to say more about this matter. Cao Cao and I have been helping each other since the beginning of the army. Until he captured Yanzhou, the relationship between me and him is no longer as friendly as before."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but recall the past of getting along with Cao Cao. After a long time, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, his face full of melancholy, "Later, Cao Cao got Xuzhou and won the support of the local people by implementing the benevolent government advocated by Xi Yu. Now, Cao Cao and I

We have become strangers, and the friendship in the past no longer exists..."

"Moreover, Cao Cao and Xi Yu treated the refugees who fled from Jizhou as their own people, and when the typhoid fever was raging, they went to rescue them regardless of the danger of their lives. In this way, the rift between me and Cao Cao deepened!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said firmly, "Now, Cao Cao and I will definitely fight. This matter is unavoidable. In this case, I have made up my mind to go to war with Cao Cao!"

"Where is Chen Lin!!!"

At this moment, Yuan Shao was filled with great pride and looked at the underground counselor with a serious look on his face.

Suddenly, a proud and calm man walked out from among a group of counselors. This man came to Yuan Shao, bowed deeply and bowed with both hands.

This person is Chen Lin.

"Lord, Chen Lin is here."

Upon seeing this, everyone knew that this battle was now inevitable.

"I order you to draft a petition against thieves! I have decided that after the beginning of spring next year, I will fight against Cao Cao!"

Xuchang.

"Bang!"

There was only a muffled sound, and Cao Cao smashed another bowl of rice on the document!

"Haha, Yuan Shao actually started a war with me?! Hahaha! It's really unexpected!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and was very excited. He walked back and forth several times, looking satisfied and proud. "I have been waiting for this moment for too long. Send me an order to start a war with Yuan Shao immediately!"

"Haha, this memorandum is really...someone, please send a copy of this memorandum to Master Xi as soon as possible, and tell him that Yuan Shao will soon declare war on the Lord!"

At this moment, Xun Yu's face was full of excitement.

But although Cao Cao is not terrible now, there is one thing in this statement that requires great caution.

This appeal can be described as a verbal and written attack on Cao Cao.

The article first mentions Cao Cao's capture of Xuzhou, borrowing what happened to his father, and then says that Cao Cao's father was a eunuch who left a scandal, and then mentions Cao Cao's ancestors. In short, the content of this memorial article covers all eighteen generations of Cao Cao's ancestors.

I took it out and had a meal.

This memorandum also mentioned one thing, that is, Cao Cao put the emperor under house arrest in Xuchang and controlled the affairs of the Han Dynasty himself. Cao Cao's move was a treasonous and unethical act. If Cao Cao is allowed to continue to tolerate this treasonous and unethical thing, it will be

Let the Han Dynasty be humiliated. In order to prevent Cao Cao from betraying the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao must be attacked now!

The implication is that Yuan Shao's war against Cao Cao was a bright and righteous move to help the Han Dynasty!
