So, Yuan Shang and Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others, relying on Jizhou being completely under their control, and Yuan Tan and others were still outside and had not come back, and had not stayed by Yuan Shao's side before. In addition, Yuan Shao's wife, Madam Liu, had corrected Yuan Shao's edict, saying that Yuan Shao had passed the position to Yuan Shang before he died. Others really wanted to reason but had no place to reason!

Moreover, after Yuan Shao's death, the vicious Mrs. Liu directly killed all of Yuan Shao's other concubines. In this way, who else can prove that he had not issued a last order before Yuan Shao's death?

However, although Yuan Shang used this method to successfully take over Yuan Shao's work, would he believe Yuan Tan who rushed back from outside? Well, even if Yuan Tan believed it, he would not be willing to do so. Question for the sake of doubt, and don't believe it for the sake of not believing!

So, in this way, the Guo Tu and Xin Ping brothers supported Yuan Tan, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others supported Yuan Shang and Yuan brothers. Although the war had not started directly, the situation of internal strife had already begun.

......

On the Luoyang side, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed when he received the news. Of course, he also felt a little sad. After all, Yuan Shao was Cao Cao's childhood playmate. Zhang Miao died before, and now Yuan Shao is also dead. In this generation, there are still a few people living in the world.

However, no matter how sad Cao Cao was, he would never affect his people because of this kind of thing. Now that Yuan Shao had just died, the Yuan camp would inevitably be in chaos, with no leader and panic. In addition, Yuan Shao had already suffered a defeat before, now that he came, wouldn’t most of them have to vote against him Cao Cao?!

Therefore, Cao Cao didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately prepared to go to the north again, representing the journey north. This time, he would definitely completely defeat the Yuan family and unify the entire north!

But Guo Jia opposed Cao Cao's plan to send troops.

"The Yuan family abolished the eldest son and established the youngest son, and the Yuan and Shang brothers had power and power, each of them established their own party. If they were urgent, they would rescue each other. If they were slow, they would fight each other. At this time, it would be better to raise troops south to attack Jingzhou and conquer Liu Biao, and wait for the changes of the Yuan brothers. In this way, it would be determined in one fell swoop."

In the court, that's right. In the court, Guo Jia raised an objection. Speaking of which, how long has no one dared to oppose Cao Cao in the court? Over the years, Cao Cao's so-called courtship was just a formality, and everything had been decided long ago, but he just came here to ask Emperor Xian to nod and stamp it.

Of course, it is not that Cao Cao is stubborn and does not listen to other people's oppositions, and no one dares to oppose him. You must know that Cao Cao is rare to be good at accepting advice, but that is always "in private" and when discussing decisions within Cao's camp. At that time, Cao Cao would listen carefully to all kinds of opinions. He waited until he made a decision and made a choice, and only brought the "finished product" to Emperor Xian. In this way, it is naturally impossible for anyone to object.

Therefore, the court is not a place to discuss such issues. It is just a formality. Therefore, Guo Jia's opposition to Cao Cao here on this day seems quite abrupt and surprising. Of course, this also proves that Guo Jia had never attended an internal meeting in Cao's camp before. Guo Jia has been excluded by Cao Cao, and the breakdown of the relationship between the two has become straightforward.

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao frown. At first, Guo Jia's words made sense, but when they sounded, they made such words from Guo Jia's mouth and from Guo Jia's mouth, the taste was a little different. It's all like this, Guo Jia is really kind to continue to help him Cao Cao? Or is there any trap here? Is Guo Jia deliberately implicated him?

Of course, it is not possible to say that Cao Cao's previous decision was wrong just because Guo Jia's words made sense. After all, it was a strategy recognized by many advisers. Could so many people not be as good as Guo Jia, you? This situation is like the situation where Guo Tu said that right and wrong could not be judged clearly, and both sides might succeed and be ambiguous. If it were Yuan Shao, he would probably have hesitated for a long time.

However, Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all. Since he couldn't figure out Guo Jia's idea for a while, while taking advantage of Yuan Shao's death, the enemy's hearts were unstable and the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation to attack was completely feasible. Therefore, Cao Cao finally decisively ignored Guo Jia's opposition and insisted on sending troops to attack Yuan's family immediately.

Of course, as a military expert, Cao Cao himself would not really attack directly. The Yuan brothers fought each other in an objective fact and could be fully utilized, and Cao Cao could also make use of this while directly attacking!

That's right, Cao Cao's idea was to only attack one side and ignore the other side at all! As for the guy who was unlucky and was chosen by Cao Cao to attack the death, it was Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan from Qingzhou. I don't know if it was because Guo Tu and others supported Yuan Tan, that Cao Cao made such a decision.

......

However, after Yuan Shao died, Yuan Tan received the news, so he immediately rushed back to Yecheng with Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others. Unfortunately, he was still halfway through the way. He heard that Yuan Shao had passed the position to Yuan Shang before his death. Shen Pei, Feng Ji appointed Yuan Shang as the Grand Sima General, leading Ji, Qing, You, and the governors of the four prefectures.

Yuan Tan quickly discussed with Guo Tu and Xin Ping reminded him,

"If you follow the two of you, you will make plans. If you go there quickly, you will suffer the disaster."

Yuan Tanshen agreed. He was not a fool. He ran to Yecheng so stupidly and went directly to Yuan Shang's base camp. At that time, even if he was not killed by Yuan Shang, it would be at least a result of house arrest. So what about brothers? What can't be done in order to compete for that position?!

So Yuan Tan hurriedly asked what to do. Guo Tu volunteered to ask Yuan Tan to station troops outside and observe the movement. Guo Tu went to Yecheng himself to explore the situation. Although Guo Tu was bold, he was not too risky. As long as Yuan Tan was still outside and had heavy troops in hand, Guo Tu was basically safe. After all, Yuan Shang didn't want to turn against him directly. He was going to do something to his elder brother. This behavior would be criticized by the world.

After Guo Tu arrived in Yecheng, he lied that Yuan Tan was distraught when he heard the bad news about Yuan Shao and fell ill in the army for a while. Therefore, he was unable to come for the time being, so he could only let Guo Tu take the lead and explain the reason.

Yuan Shang probably understood the truth, and knew that Yuan Tan did not come alone so easily, so he said directly,

"I was ordered by my father to make me the leader and add my brother to the general of the chariot and cavalry. At present, Cao's army is approaching, so I ask my brother to be the front line. Then I will dispatch troops to help."

Yuan Shang’s purpose is also very obvious. Since you, Yuan Tan, insisting on not coming back outside, just go to the front line to deal with Cao Cao.

As a result, Guo Tu did not object to such a proposal at all, but instead opposed the general's army, saying that no one in the army discussed good strategies, so he asked Yuan Shang to send Shen Pei and Feng Ji to help. (To be continued...)
