After the words were spoken, the place fell silent.
"Chen thinks it's best to wait and see what happens," Xun Chen said.
"Indeed, the world is in turmoil right now, and the Great Xia Empire in the north is very powerful, so it is not advisable to make any big moves." Xu You agreed.
"It's better to remain calm than to act now." Ju Su also agreed: "The situation in the world is still unclear. We can wait and see how it develops. Once the situation becomes clear, we can make a decision."
"Sir, I think we should go south and attack Cao Cao." Guo Tu stepped out and said proudly.
"Why?" Yuan Shao asked curiously after hearing a different voice.
"At this moment, Cao Cao's main force is confronting the troops of Guanjun Hou in Xuzhou, leaving Weijun, Heneijun and Qingzhou empty. We can take advantage of the opportunity and capture Cao Cao. In the past, Cao Cao took advantage of our battle with Gongsun Zan to occupy Weijun, and now it's time for us to take it back." Guo Tu said righteously.
"No." Ju Su was shocked: "Sir, we can't go south now."
"Why?" Yuan Shao looked at Ju Su in confusion.
"If we take advantage of Cao Cao's weakness, it will definitely disrupt Cao Cao's confrontation with Marquis Guanjun. If we leave Marquis Guanjun free to take Jingzhou, he will be unstoppable in the future." Ju Su said.
"Nonsense."
Guo Tu sneered.
"When the heavens changed, Your Excellency inherited the legacy of Emperor Chen and became the Son of Heaven. Only when the world falls into Your Excellency's hands can it be legitimate. Now is a golden opportunity, why not strengthen your strength? If the Great Xia Empire marches south again, how can we resist with only a small corner of our territory?"
Without waiting for anyone to object, Guo Tu continued speaking.
"Swallowing Cao Cao's Qingzhou, Sili Henei, and Henan Yin will gather our strength, and perhaps even reach a higher level. We will also have enough depth to confront the Great Xia Empire. Otherwise, when they are free, whether Cao Cao or Guanjun Hou wins, they will target us. Why not strike first?"
Everyone at the table was silent.
Guo Tu's words sounded reasonable, but they felt they were wrong, and they had no way of refutating them.
"good!"
Yuan Shao clapped his hands and cheered, looking very happy.
…
Yuan Shao assembled an army of 300,000 and attacked Cao Cao's territory. This decision shocked and amazed the people of the world.
