Chapter 95 Responding to All Changes with Unchanging Principles
Every word Li Zhao spoke clearly reached everyone's ears.
at this time.
Whether it was Liu Bei, Xu Shu, or the others, they all stared intently at Li Zhao, feeling their blood boiling with excitement.
Intelligent people like them are actually very clear in their hearts that it is wrong to say such righteous words in front of so many people.
To a large extent, it was actually to win people's hearts and minds.
It is precisely because we understand the logic behind it that we can appreciate how precious such friendship is.
The fact that Li Zhao could show this in front of them meant that he didn't care at all.
What others think is not important; what matters is what he does.
Guan Yu held the wine cup in his hand the whole time, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Zhao had already changed.
Lu Bu, on the other hand, seemed much more casual...
He first bowed deeply to Li Zhao with utmost sincerity, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.
As for Lü Bu, he had long since given up everything and decided to follow Li Zhao wholeheartedly.
If you're willing to give up your own life, you naturally don't need to care too much about these empty formalities.
"Come, let us drink this cup to the brim to celebrate the victorious return of Guan Yu and Fengxian!"
Li Zhao then finished the wine in his cup, a gentle smile always on his face.
"My lord, I..."
"Yun Chang, there's no need for that. I know what you want to say!" Li Zhaoxian gestured for him to finish his wine.
immediately.
Then, holding Guan Yu's hand, he looked at the crowd and said, "Although Yun Chang went out to fight without authorization this time and even helped Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao."
"It disobeyed my orders, but this was for the greater good. Faced with the imperial edict, and unsure how to proceed in a short time, I made a decisive decision and carried it out!"
"This is the demeanor of a great general; more importantly, it leaves no opportunity for others to take advantage."
"If we choose to refuse or ignore it this time, someone will inevitably use it as an excuse to make trouble."
"At that time, we will be labeled as traitors. With Yun Chang's intervention, we will be able to take the initiative from now on."
"As for offending Yuan Shao, that's not something worth paying attention to!"
"Could it be... that we're really afraid of him?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
Yes!
Given their current strength, they really have no reason to fear Yuan Shao.
Even if he really sends troops to attack, so what?
At this moment, people's hearts were quickly united!
"My lord is right!" Liu Bei slowly stood up and said very sincerely.
"We need time for stable development, and we are not afraid of anyone making a move!"
"People like them will only push their luck if they back down."
"We are deeply honored by our lord's kindness!"
immediately.
Everyone present stood up and bowed to Li Zhao.
"Alright, alright..."
"No need to be so polite, enjoy your drink!" Li Zhao waved casually and walked towards the back room with a smile.
Soon, Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and others got up and followed.
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lü Bu who was mingling with the other generals, and finally chose to walk towards the back hall.
"Gulp..." After finishing the wine in his cup, Lü Bu looked back and slowly shook his head.
"Wouldn't it be so much better to just execute the command? Why all the hassle?"
Not long after.
The group gathered in the back hall.
They all understood that although Li Zhao would not blame Guan Yu for this, he would certainly not hand over the man as Yuan Shao demanded.
But since it has already happened, the corresponding troubles must be dealt with.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will likely make their moves soon!
"My lord..." Liu Bei spoke first.
Guan Yu was, after all, his brother, so he had to take the initiative in this matter.
"A battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is inevitable. Now, Yuan Shao is rallying the warlords of the land to deal with Cao Cao in the name of protecting His Majesty and the court."
"This slogan should not be underestimated. The Yuan family has held high office for four generations, and now they control Ji Province and Bing Province, with countless troops under their command!"
"If we can't stay out of it, I think... at least we should respond to the call!"
Neither Xu Shu nor Chen Gong, who were present, objected to his statement.
after all.
With the banner raised by Yuan Shao, he was essentially in an invincible position.
"My lord, if Yuan Shao uses this as an excuse to cause trouble for you, I am willing..."
As soon as Guan Yu opened his mouth, Liu Bei glared at him fiercely.
He knows his brother too well!
At times like this, Guan Yu would dare to say anything!
Li Zhao also looked over, "Don't say things like that again!"
"I understand what you mean, but whether we stay out of it or not, we can't take the initiative. Let's see how they make their move."
"If I'm not mistaken, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are currently racking their brains over what to do!"
"The best solution at present is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes..."
……
Just as Li Zhao had thought, when Xun Yu returned, Cao Cao immediately summoned his advisors and generals to discuss countermeasures.
nowadays.
Yuan Shao had already raised his banner, and all the warlords in the land were moved by the news.
We must be fully prepared, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if we are given the opportunity!
Xun Yu did not elaborate on Xiahou Dun's problem; he simply described the situation objectively.
Surprisingly, Cao Cao didn't seem to care much.
He simply said that no one could stop Guan Yu from leaving if he wanted to, and then he didn't mention the matter again.
"My lord..." Cheng Yu stepped forward first, "The current situation is that Yuan Shao's banner has given many people an opportunity!"
"Whatever their motives, they now have a legitimate reason to attack us."
"Therefore, to resolve this matter, we must start with this problem!"
"That's right!" Xun Yu nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
"The current problem is how to turn the tables and take the initiative. The Yuan family's reputation is too great, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world. This is the most difficult thing to deal with."
"You can't say that!" Cao Ren said, clearly annoyed.
"Does that mean whatever Yuan Shao says goes? Doesn't he have the final say in everything under the heavens?"
"If you're going to fight, then fight... Why make so many excuses!"
These words immediately garnered the support of most of the military generals.
Ultimately, it's all about finding a plausible excuse to start a war.
Why make such a fuss?
Hearing the various opinions and different views in front of him, Cao Cao did not speak immediately.
Instead, he sat silently, waiting for a long time, but he did not hear Guo Jia speak.
Looking up, he saw Guo Jia standing there with his head down, seemingly deep in thought.
As he moved, more and more eyes fell on Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao...what do you think?" Cao Cao asked, taking the initiative to speak.
Only then did Guo Jia raise his head and let out a long sigh.
"My lord, in my opinion, the key point... lies with Li Zhao!"
