Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Xun You blurted out four names.

"Yuan Shao of Hebei, Yuan Shu of Huai Bei, Liu Bei of Jing and Yang, and Lu Bu of Sili."

The two Yuans and Liu Bei need no further explanation. Among them, Lu Bu, entrenched in Sili, also held some hope in Xun You's eyes.

He possessed the righteousness of the imperial court and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and was supported by prestigious families such as the Chen clan of Yingchuan.

As long as Lu Bu was given a suitable opportunity, it was not impossible for him to emerge from H牢 Pass and sweep across the Central Plains.

Of course, opportunities are hard to come by, but compared to other warlords, Lu Bu did have a chance to compete for the world.

"Gongda has keen insight. Among the warlords of today, these four are indeed the most likely to win the world."

Xun Yu did not deny Xun You's judgment, but changed his tone and asked, "But if these four were to gain the world, how should the Emperor conduct himself?"

"The Yuan brothers have long had the idea of ​​usurping the Han Dynasty. Once their power is established, I am afraid they will can't wait to change the dynasty."

"Then Lu Bu of Sili completely ignores the Emperor, establishing his daughter as Empress, occupying the position of General with the name of an immoral foreign relative, and all decisions are passed in his mansion, treating the Emperor and the court as nothing."

"It is still like this now, but when his power grows in the future, the Emperor will hardly have a way to survive."

Xun You questioned. "Liu Bei of Jing and Yang is a member of the Han clan, and his uncle's lifelong wish is to support the Han Dynasty. Why not abandon Cao and support Liu?"

Xun Yu replied peacefully.

"If the clan member Liu Xuande wins the world, even if he has no intention of becoming emperor, Li Zikun will definitely try to persuade him to ascend the throne. The abdication of the Emperor is a disgrace to the Han ministers, and Yu will never agree, even if he dies."

Xun You's brow could not help but furrow deeply, looking at the madness and determination hidden beneath Xun Yu's peaceful expression.

Xun You knew that Xun Yu was once a close minister of Emperor Liu Bian, who was murdered by Dong Zhuo, and personally witnessed Liu Bian being forced to abdicate and be murdered.

Now it seems that this matter has formed a demon in Xun Yu's heart, making Xun Yu's obsession not only to support the Han Dynasty, but also to restore the Emperor's power.

What Xun Yu wants to support is not so much the Han Dynasty as it is the current Emperor.

However, Xun You agreed with Xun Yu's judgment on the other warlords after they seized the world, but he couldn't help but ask in return.

"If a person with a cold heart like Cao Cao wins the world, does uncle think he will return power to the Emperor?"

Xun Yu raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, but he uttered words that made Xun You's body and mind feel cold.

"As long as the lord has no possibility of ascending the throne, no matter what, he can only be a powerful minister of a generation, and the Emperor will always be the Emperor."

At this moment, Xun You instantly reacted and was so shocked that he subconsciously took a step back.

It was not until this time that Xun You completely understood Xun Yu's plan.

As the chief steward of Cao Cao's group, as long as Xun Yu's ability is sufficient, basically nothing can be hidden from him.

Whether it is stealing the tombs of the sages or massacring cities, Xun Yu may not only be tacitly approving, but even secretly promoting it.

The purpose is to completely ruin Cao Cao's reputation and cut off the possibility of Cao Cao ascending the throne after winning the world.

Stealing the tombs of the sages will make Cao Cao offend the aristocratic families; massacring cities will make Cao Cao's reputation in the hearts of the people of the world be notorious.

Such a person can still be a powerful minister.

Once he wants to ascend the throne, he will inevitably be opposed by everyone from top to bottom.

And in the two Han Dynasties, there have been too many powerful ministers.

So far, the only one who can pose a threat to the Han Dynasty is Wang Mang. The rest were all prominent for a while, but ended up miserably.

In Xun Yu's eyes, as long as Cao Cao is confined to the scope of a powerful minister and the possibility of Cao Cao's ascension to the throne is taken away, then after Cao Cao's death, power will inevitably return to the Emperor's hands.

At this moment, even Xun You was shocked by Xun Yu's plan and could not recover for a long time.

"Uncle, is it really worth it to go to this extent?" Xun You asked.

"It is worth it."

Xun Yu's answer was still so peaceful, and then he said.

"Gongda, are you really not considering fully assisting the lord? As long as Gongda no longer hides his talent, with the lord's ability to know people and make good use of them, he will definitely value Gongda."

"Furthermore, the lord's reputation has already reached this point, even if he wins the world, it will no longer pose a threat to His Majesty. Didn't Gongda always hope to support the Han Dynasty with me? This is the best opportunity."

Xun You had a dull expression on his face, his heart was in a mess, and he replied casually.

"Now the lord is trapped in Qingzhou, even if he attacks Xuzhou, he is just a pawn to consume Liu Xuande with the support of the Yuan family."

"Although we have now captured the Langya Kingdom and Donghai County, Liu Xuande has already led his troops into Xuzhou. How much chance of winning does the lord have?"

Xun Yu did not rush to answer Xun You, but waited until Xun You gradually calmed down before asking.

"With Gongda's wisdom, could it be that you really can't think of a way to break the situation?"

Hearing this, Xun You raised his eyes to look at Xun Yu, and his mind moved.

Most of what Cao Cao did was within Xun Yu's expectations, and even intentionally guided by Xun Yu.

In this way, Xun Yu must have prepared and planned for Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou because of this.

Gradually, Xun You's eyes seemed to wander again, and his expression seemed even more foolish.

After a while, Xun You's expression changed.

Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled and said, "It seems that Gongda already understands something. Why don't you and I write it on paper and see if the plans to break the situation are the same."

Xun You hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to the desk, picked up the paper and pen, and began to write.

When Xun You raised his head, Xun Yu had also finished writing.

Immediately, the two Xuns placed the papers they had written on the desk, and both were a big "Yuan" character.

This made Xun Yu smile knowingly, and his eyes looking at Xun You showed more appreciation.

Among the Xun clan's sons today, Xun Yu has the most prominent reputation.

And the person Xun Yu values ​​most in the clan is Xun You, who seems to have a foolish appearance, so after worshiping Cao Cao as his lord, he forcibly pulled Xun You into Cao's camp.

This plan to break the situation was planned and prepared by Xun Yu long ago.

However, after Xun You got some hints from Xun Yu, he figured out the key in such a short period of time, how could Xun Yu not praise him.

Immediately, Xun Yu persuaded again.

"Now Liu Xuande is leading his troops into Xuzhou, and there is also the national scholar Hou Wei as his military advisor. His momentum is fierce. The lord expects that he will be in trouble in a short time."

"This plan to break the situation, apart from Gongda and I, people like Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Man Chong are expected to not be able to think of it."

"And Gongda already knows the key, and when the time comes, he can offer advice to the lord, and he will definitely be valued by the lord and be appointed as the chief strategist."

So far, Xun You has been relying on Xun Yu's face in Cao's camp, always pretending to be stupid and loafing around, and is responsible for some dispensable chores, like an invisible person.

But Xun Yu knows Xun You's ability.

In terms of strategy and quick wit, Xun Yu knows that Xun You is still above him. Compared with Li Ji, the national scholar who is famous in the sea, I am afraid that he is not far behind.

Therefore, taking advantage of Xun You's expression of dissatisfaction this time, Xun Yu did not forget to try his best to persuade Xun You to truly serve Cao Cao and wholeheartedly make suggestions for Cao Cao.

"Please allow me to think about it for a while, uncle..."

In the end, Xun You replied with a foolish expression and left. (End of this chapter)
