Chapter 0301: The ceremony at the General’s Mansion, the possibility of attacking Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time!!

Tang Ji was supported by Gu Changan and left the room.

Both of them were hungry.

Fortunately, the maid had already prepared the food.

On the table in the dining room, there was a small charcoal stove and a pottery emitting hot steam.

There were also two sets of bowls and chopsticks placed next to it.

After a bowl of hot porridge with the aroma of medicine, Tang Ji’s eyes lit up.

She felt her whole abdomen warm and her body seemed to have regained vitality.

“It tastes good!”

Tang Ji praised

“If it tastes good, drink more. This is medicinal porridge, which can nourish the body!”

Gu Chang’an said.

Tang Ji rolled her eyes at Gu Chang’an, and she said,”I didn’t need to nourish myself. It’s all your fault!”

Gu Chang’an smiled slightly and didn’t quibble.

He accompanied Tang Ji to have breakfast before leaving the General’s Mansion…

The atmosphere in the General’s Mansion was a bit solemn.

After all, such a big thing happened yesterday.

As soon as Gu Chang’an walked into the gate, he felt this atmosphere.

He strode into the mansion.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Xi Zhicai, Fa Zheng, Yang Xiu and others had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw Gu Chang’an coming in, they stood up and saluted Gu Chang’an.

Gu Chang’an waved his hand, indicating that they didn’t need to be polite.

He walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

Then he asked,”Have the number of prisoners yesterday been counted?”

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia immediately stood up and replied respectfully,”Reporting to the lord, the total number of prisoners is about 7,000!”

“The actual number of deaths was less than 300, most of them were injured but not dead, and there were no disabilities!”

At this point, Guo Jia looked at Gu Changan with admiration and continued

“To be able to achieve such a result, the lord’s supernatural powers are truly admirable!”

“Hahaha! It’s a pity for them to die. These are the top elites selected from the army of hundreds of thousands!”

Gu Changan laughed and nodded with satisfaction.

He continued to ask:”Have you figured out which forces these rebels came from?”?”

Jia Xu then stood up and said in a deep voice:”After interrogation and investigation, we found out!”

“There are only 4,000 real elite troops, and they come from the command of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!”

“The remaining three thousand people were ordinary soldiers temporarily organized by the governor of Changshan. These people were not well trained and could not be considered elite soldiers!”

“Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?”

Gu Changan frowned slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

“I originally wanted to take it step by step and try not to create a civil war with too much bloodshed!”

“Unexpectedly, these two old foxes couldn’t hold back anymore!”

“My Lord!”

Li Ru took over the conversation and said in a deep voice

“Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have been secretly accumulating strength in an attempt to undermine their lord’s cause!”

“They have suffered heavy casualties this time, so why not take advantage of the situation and directly eliminate the two princes!”

After listening to Li Ru’s suggestion, Gu Changan fell into deep thought.

He turned to look at others and asked,”What do you think?”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, stepped forward, bowed and said,”My lord, with our current strength, let’s attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time!”

“It is no longer considered a bold or risky behavior!”

“The only thing to worry about is that the two of them may have joined forces now!”

“If we attack rashly, we might face a large army from both stores!”

“Huh?”

Gu Changan raised his eyebrows and said with disdain:”They are just chickens and dogs!”

Gu Changan turned his gaze to Jia Xu again:”Wenhe, what do you think?”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and continued:”My lord, I think the time is ripe to attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!”

“At present, our military force can be said to be strong and powerful. In addition, the Guanzhong region has a bumper harvest and we have plenty of food and fodder!”

“Moreover, Jizhou and Yanzhou are surrounded by us, so we can consider recovering Jizhou and Yanzhou!”

Xi Zhicai also echoed:”Wenhe is right, and the time is ripe for us now!”

Fa Zheng and Yang Xiu were not influential, so they did not express any opinions. They just listened to the opinions of their predecessors.

However, Yang Xiu was sitting there restlessly, wanting to speak, but not daring to.

Gu Changan glanced at Yang Xiu and ignored him.

“Do you have any other ideas?”

Gu Changan continued to ask.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said slowly

“My Lord, I think we can adopt a phased strategy!”

“First of all, we can harass and contain Yuan Shao and Cao Cao’s current territories to weaken their strength!”

“At the same time, it is impossible for the two sides to truly form an alliance!”

“It will also cause them to run around in a hurry!”

“We are actively preparing for war and waiting for the right time. Once the time comes, we will be able to defeat them in one fell swoop!”

Gu Chang’an listened to everyone’s suggestions, and gradually had an idea in his mind.

He pondered for a moment, then said:”Everyone, do you have any suggestions for these prisoners?”

As soon as these words came out, all the counselors fell into deep thought.

They knew that how to deal with these prisoners was not a problem for Gu Chang’an at all.

Whether it was absorbing them or sending them to military farms, it was Gu Chang’an’s routine operation.

However, Gu Chang’an asked, indicating that he wanted to do something else with these prisoners.

Guo Jia broke the silence first. He suggested:”My lord, among these prisoners, the 3,000 soldiers from Changshan are not of much use!”

“It would be better to put them all into the military farming areas!”

“Although they didn’t know in advance that the ambush was against the general, but the deed had already been done, so they were guilty!”

Gu Changan nodded after hearing this.

He thought Guo Jia’s suggestion made sense.

Then, Guo Jia continued to speak.

“We can use these prisoners and several generals to exchange for a few cities from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!”

“And we can spread the word and make the whole world buzz!”

“If it were the case, we would not fight with a single soldier, but would just capture a few cities first to gain the upper hand!”

“If they don’t change, we can publicize it widely and make them lose all support of the people and the army!”

“”What Fengxiao said is a really good idea!”

Jia Xu agreed.

Then, Jia Xu also put forward his own opinion:”In this way, we will be invincible!”

“If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are unwilling to exchange, these captives will inevitably feel resentful!”

“At that time, we can consider recruiting them!”

“These people are all experienced warriors. If they can be used by us, it will greatly enhance our strength!” ps: ○ Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation votes, rewards, and comments!
