Chapter 798: Liu Bei is Out of the First Qing Dynasty!

"Xuzhou is a big grain-producing state, extremely rich, and the Central Plains is currently second only to us." Tian Feng spoke first.

"Xuzhou is near the sea. Qingzhou has a well-developed shipping industry. After taking Xuzhou, it will be more conducive to the development of shipping." Su Shuang is in charge of business.

"Xuzhou has a very long coastline, and the development of marine fishery has broad prospects, which can greatly supplement meat." Xun Yue is in charge of fishery and animal husbandry.

"Xuzhou has a well-developed salt industry, especially the Mi family's salt field is located in Xuzhou, so it must not fall into the hands of others."

"Last year there was a severe drought, and there was little snow this winter. Ten droughts and nine locusts. It is foreseeable that next year will be a disaster year after all. We must ensure food supply."

"From a military point of view, once Cao Cao takes Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and half of Yuzhou, he will become the number one prince in the world, surpassing Yuan Shao in strength, which will be extremely unfavorable to us."

Seeing that everyone was talking about a lot of reasons, Wang Xuan directly made a decision, "Needless to say, these reasons are enough, get ready and send troops to Xuzhou!"

"What is the reason to attack Xuzhou?" Lu Su asked with a frown. Although power is the truth, he also agrees, but the name is not right and the words are not right, and he always feels awkward.

"Reason!" Wang Xuan's face sank suddenly, "Xuzhou is the Xuzhou of the Han Dynasty. The Xuzhou family wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but because Tao Gongzu obstructed it, they poisoned the wine and murdered him. If a villain succeeds, he must avenge Tao Gongzu!"

It seems that you just said that Tao Gongzu must have drunk to death, so he turned around and beat him up! ?

"What are you looking at!" Wang Xuan glared at Lu Su, "Isn't Xuzhou the Xuzhou of the great Han? Shouldn't Duke Xuande inherit the foundation of the Han family? Didn't the Xuzhou family want to separate the land and surrender to Cao Cao?"

Well, excluding the cause of Tao Qian's death, the reasons Wang Xuan said are sufficient, and according to the conspiracy theory, the Xuzhou family's motive for assassinating Tao Qian is very sufficient.

Tao Qian has been trying to suppress the development of the Xuzhou family, and there are deep internal conflicts. Almost everyone in the world knows this. It is precisely because of the same philosophy that Tao Qian and Liu Bei have a good relationship. It is also because the Xuzhou family does not want Xuzhou to fall into The root cause in Liu Bei's hands.

Even though Liu Bei did not publicly say that he suppressed the family, it can be seen from the results of dealing with those families who moved back to Qingzhou last time that Liu Bei was definitely not friendly to the family.

After the plan was finalized, it was time to discuss the matter of dispatching troops, either not to do it, or to do it would be thunderous, tug-of-war or something is definitely not necessary, not because they are afraid that they will not win, but because they will delay production and construction too much.

At least in Wang Xuan's view, the biggest advantage of his side is not the strength of the army, nor the excellent equipment, but the development and construction are good enough, which is the fundamental.

"Since it is going to be moved, let's take down Mount Tai, so that his wife Cao knows that some ideas should not be played casually." Wang Xuan felt that Cao Cao was a little drifting, so he must beat it hard.

Everyone agrees on this point, and the rest is the route of the army. The final result of the discussion is to take Mount Tai all the way, send troops from Linqu to take Langye County all the way, and finally Gan Ning leads the troops by sea, directly from Mizhu, Qu County, Donghai Landed in the old lair of the Mi family, using the Mi family's Qu County as a logistics base, and directly took over Donghai County.

The three armies are attacking together, if you don't move, you will be done, and if you move like a thunder!

……

Cao Cao got the news a few days earlier than Liu Bei. When Tao Qian died that day, the banquet exploded on the spot. Under the auspices of the participating Xuzhou families, the entire Tao Qian mansion was directly sealed off, and the funeral was not held in secret.

After discussing the future direction of Xuzhou that night, they sent troops to notify Cao Cao overnight.

The news was still buried in the intelligence personnel in Tao Qian's mansion, and the servant who took care of 'Yexiang' went out on the third day to deliver the news. Therefore, at this moment, Cao Cao was already well prepared, and he sent troops directly without even thinking about logistics.

Anyway, there are not many other things in Xuzhou, but there is a lot of food!

On the other side, the envoys sent have arrived in Yecheng, Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao's idea is also very simple, since the opportunity is in front of him, he must cherish it and clear Liu Bei out of the game first.

The news that Chen Qun brought back last time made Cao Cao feel a kind of fear in his heart, including the fear of his civil servants, and Cao Cao believed that his other princes in the Han Dynasty had the same fear.

Qingzhou is incompatible with the whole big man. It is like two worlds. Although Qingzhou has a small territory, it brings too much pressure to people.

Outsiders don't know why Qingzhou can develop so fast, and the more they don't understand, the more they feel fear.

As the saying goes, shooting the first bird with a gun is the truth, Liu Bei is too jumpy.

Of course, in this, Wang Xuan's "credit" is even greater. If he hadn't absorbed all the luck of the Eastern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, things would not have gotten out of control. Yuan Shao solved his worries, and Cao Cao doubled his background out of thin air. conditions.

Regarding Cao Cao's proposal, Yuan Shao almost agreed with it after a little deliberation.

"Liu Bei appears to be benevolent, but in fact he is despicable. Salt and iron are monopolized by the imperial court, and the foundation of the imperial court is developed on a large scale in private. This will inevitably cause huge waste, and it is actually a detrimental act for the public and private." Guo Tu couldn't understand. , there is so much money, why not keep it for yourself, build a house for those mud legs, there is something wrong with the brain!

"Indeed, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued these years. Liu Bei dares to brew wine on a large scale and consume so much food. I don't know how many people will starve to death because of it. It's really a wolf's ambition!" Xu You said, holding a glass of wine. Drank it all, and looked intoxicated.

"Don't you know that businessmen are after profits, they don't care about production, they only know how to buy and sell, and search for people's fat and anointing, which is a waste of people's power. Financial resources are used to enrich oneself, and it seems that the people of Qingzhou live and work in peace and contentment, so how many people in other states starve to death because of this, their hearts are vicious." Feng Ji also agreed and added.

"The Master said: The people can be made to follow them, but not to be made to know them. This is the way of sages and sages, but if Liu Bei does the opposite, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world and shake the foundation of the country. His heart can be punished!"

"Even though a country is big, it will perish if it is warlike. The Book of Changes says: A gentleman should get rid of military weapons, and he will not do so. In the past, Fu Chai, the king of Wu, was warlike and died. Therefore, when the king of Ming ruled the country, he did not play with soldiers!"

"Mencius said: In ancient times, morality was the focus, and in the Middle Ages, wisdom was the focus. Today's so-called good ministers, ancient times were the so-called traitors of the people. A gentleman does not aim at benevolence, but seeks to be strong in war, which is to assist Jie."

"Now Liu Bei doesn't care about the peace of the people. He resorts to military force to intimidate his neighbors. He appears to be benevolent, but in fact he is vicious. His disaster is as great as Wang Mang's!"

"Hiss, this son must not be left behind!"

It is rare for Yuan Shao's counselors to kill Liu Bei with one voice, and Yuan Shao naturally would not disagree. The last time he fought Gongsun Zan, it was Liu Bei who played tricks behind him. At that time, Yuan Shao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If he hadn't been stopped by Wenwu under his command, he would have fought desperately with Liu Bei at that time.

Now is the time!
