The morale increase brought by Yuan Shao was something that Zhang Yan and the others did not expect.

After Yuan Tan's body was sent to Linzi.

The next day, Yuan Shao presided over a grand burial ceremony, so that Yuan Tan was like earth, the eldest son who had been pinned on him by high hopes, was now lying in the coffin so stiffly, he had no chance to teach him anything, and there was no chance for him to understand the details of the hint he gave him.

Changshan Zhao Zilong.

I will kill them.

Yuan Shao personally covered the coffin board for Yuan Tan, and he looked at Yuan Tan's face and his eyes that had opened wide because of the accident, which had lost their luster.

Yuan Shao suddenly realized that he had lost this son forever, and this eldest son who he had not had the opportunity to give him too much company.

When Yuan Tan was born, it was the time when Yuan Shao began to struggle for his career, although Yuan Shao also liked his first son, but he was more demanding of him, requiring him to do well, to become excellent, and to be able to support the Yuan family as the next generation.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't like Yuan Tan as much as others guessed.

On the contrary, he has high hopes for his eldest son.

Because Yuan Shao himself is the eldest son of the Yuan family, he passed Yuan Tan to his deceased brother Yuan Ji, in fact, he wants Yuan Tan to become the orthodox Yuan family, whether it is legal or reasonable, he hopes that Yuan Tan can become the core of the Yuan family.

In this way, he will be able to obtain the status of a concubine and inherit his power as his eldest son.

As for the other two sons, in fact, Yuan Shao is still loved, but he doesn't have any requirements for them to achieve career achievements, and his love for his younger son just hopes that he can live happily and well, rather than letting them become the masters of one party, it should be enough for the Yuan family to have Yuan Tan to carry it.

Yuan Shao's idea was originally that simple, so he would rest assured that Bohai would be handed over to Yuan Tan, hoping that Yuan Tan would be able to last for a year, and also exercise well, and give himself a year to defeat Qingzhou, Yuan Tan also has management experience, and he can rest assured that Yuan Tan will slowly get in touch with the core of his own power.

He felt that no matter how bad it was, with Lu Yi and Zhang He, as well as these core strategists, it wouldn't be any worse, right?

In the worst case, it is a matter of surrender, and he will definitely redeem Yuan Tan.

But he really didn't expect Yuan Tan to die on the battlefield so directly, and he didn't even give him time to react, so he hated the murderer who killed Yuan Tan, Changshan Zhao Zilong, and if he was given a chance, he would definitely kill Zhao Yun with his own hands to avenge Yuan Tan.

However, no matter how angry he was, no matter how much he wanted the Northern Expedition, he still rationally recognized that he must take Qingzhou first now, and a stable rear is the premise for starting a big war.

Qingzhou, we must take it immediately.

Yuan Shao strengthened his belief, he knew what he should do at this time.

Perhaps this is the talent of him, the man of destiny.

Whenever his situation reached an extremely difficult point, he could always feel that his spirit was clear, his spirit was focused, and he was able to do many things that he couldn't do before.

It seems that once he doesn't have any threats and difficulties, his whole person will begin to be sleepy, and he won't feel much mental concentration and sobriety.

And now, he feels full of energy, full of motivation, and full of confidence.

In the end, Yuan Shao said goodbye to Yuan Tan, he reached out and closed Yuan Tan's eyelids, hoping that he could rest in peace underground, and he wanted to let go of his past regrets, start anew, and have a war between heroes with Liu Bei.

"Gongyou, how are you preparing?"

Seeing Yuan Tan's coffin being slowly buried, he asked the frustration beside him that the plan to recover the entire Qingzhou this time was in charge of the frustration.

The soldiers and strategists under his command today may be the strongest in terms of strategic layout, that is, frustrated, right?

Although the guy named Xu You can also have strength, but Yuan Shao always feels that he is not compatible with himself, and Xu Yu Yuan Shao also has some understanding before, when he teamed up with Jizhou Wang Fen to make a big deal, he also invited Cao Mengde, but in the end it was unsuccessful, Wang Fen was killed, but I don't know why, Xu You, as the project planner, was fine.

For this kind of person who has a bit of a ruthless criminal record, Yuan Shao still doesn't want to use it very much.

Delicious food and drink are entertained, but important things are not to be discussed.

"It's arranged, I'll leave in a few days, and I should be able to completely take Qingzhou and expel Zhang Yan within a month."

Fu Zhu nodded, everything was arranged, and the armies began to prepare for departure.

They must quickly take down Kong Rong and them this time, take the entire Qingzhou in their hands, and not give the opportunity to others, and take advantage of the high morale at this time, and drive Zhang Yan and them to a place where they cannot harass themselves, and then they will launch a war against the Dingyuan army, and this time they must seize the initiative.

With the initiative in hand, you can give full play to your advantages.

"Okay, when the time comes, you will sit in Linzi, and I will personally lead the army to attack Qingzhou."

Yuan Shao patted Frustrated Confession's shoulder, and the soil began to cover Yuan Tan's coffin, and he didn't want to look at it anymore.

However, Yuan Shao didn't know one thing.

When he saw that Yuan Tan's body was sent back, he had already tacitly assumed that all his men and horses in Bohai County had been wiped out, or that they had all surrendered to Liu Bei, otherwise they would not have let Yuan Tan come back like this.

Of course, sometimes people's assumptions of taking things for granted are always wrong, just like Yuan Shao couldn't imagine that he still had two direct troops, and at this time he was still trapped in Nanpi City, and he didn't know anything about what was happening in the outside world.

They are still waiting, though they themselves do not know what is waiting for.

The atmosphere in Nanpi City is not very good, it is not a low morale, but it is definitely not a high morale.

They just seem to be confused.

But they couldn't guess that they were so confused, and what they were waiting for was not their own support, or the news of their defeat, but directly waiting for the owner of the current land of Jizhou, Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei and Chen Chen went to the city wall near Nanpi City together and watched the calm of the city from afar.

This kind of calm seems to not appear in this kind of land that is still in the midst of war, but the world is always so magical, beyond most people's cognition and imagination, even the most clever people can't calculate all kinds of ingenious events in this world.

Chen Chen understands this truth, so he will not control everything in detail, to require the whole group to be like a precision instrument, without any deviation, he supports that every part of the entire group has the space to play independently, as long as everyone reserves a certain amount of energy to be ready to deal with mistakes, it can still continue to develop according to the original plan.

Well, Chen Chen just doesn't admit that he can't do everything, so the establishment is not the job that people should do.

I don't know what Zhuge Liang did, I guess he exchanged his life for it, right?

Piggy: My ability, envy? Swap your life.

"Sir, what do you think they are guarding for?"

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers in the city who were still abiding by military discipline and defending the city seriously, and when he saw these elite appearances, he actually liked them in his heart.

There is no fierce general who doesn't like the elite who obey orders, and Liu Bei naturally feels that he is still a fierce general.

"Huh? They didn't know the news that Fuyang City had been captured, and of course they would defend the city. ”

Chen Chen didn't know why Liu Bei suddenly asked this kind of question that sounded a bit metaphysical.

"Then they can't see their inevitable defeat?"

Liu Bei is from God's perspective at this time, and his remarks are a bit high-minded, but in fact, there is no problem, because it is true that the entire Jizhou is in his hands now, and he does not have any psychological pressure, and he can generously say that they are bound to lose, because they have nowhere to go and no way to escape, and now that the Bohai Sea has been captured, they are even more isolated.

In this kind of siege, how big a wave can Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw make?

Even Liu Bei couldn't see a reason for them to resist.

"That's not what I said."

Chen Chen felt that his lord seemed to be a little floating, but thinking about it, suddenly getting the land of these two states and becoming the number one prince on the face of the world in one fell swoop, it would indeed be a little inflated for anyone.

Fortunately, I am by his side and can adjust his mentality.

"Xuande Gong, for yourself, at this time you are alone with the team in a heavy siege, at this time the elites under your command are all fine, you still have the strength to fight, but the opponent is just surrounding you, and at this time, if you take the initiative to attack, it is very likely that you will suffer, and defending the city is the best choice."

The feather fan in Chen Chen's hand swayed, and he didn't really understand why he was swinging a feather fan here in the winter, and this guy was very bad, the direction of his feather fan was not facing him, so the cold wind was all waved to Xun You next to him, so that Xun You could only use his mental power to control the airflow around him a little, so that Chen Chen had no way to freeze himself.

"Then what will you do, as a proud person, you will definitely not choose to surrender before you have really fought a battle."

"And."

Chen Chen sighed, he had clearly noticed that Liu Bei's current concept was a little deviant.

"Xuande Gong, do you think that now we have a lot of fierce generals in our tents, and we have the potential to swallow the world? There is no need for more people to decentralize power, there is no need for more talent? ”

Xun You on the side also frowned, he did feel in some recent details that Liu Bei seemed to trust his people too much.

For other talents, although it is not rare, it is not very important, at least there is no motivation when they were recruited at all.

This change is understandable, after all, Liu Bei was self-made at the beginning and had too little, so he was eager to seek talent.

And now that there are abundant talents, such as Guo Jia, Mao Jie, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu, who can all become masterminds in one force, they can also be sent out, so maybe Liu Bei feels that what he needs to do more is to concentrate on what he has now, and he doesn't care too much about whether those who don't get it are in his hands.

Liu Bei was stunned, he didn't expect that he would ask a question, and Chen Chen would suddenly think of this.

But he will not hide Chen Chen's own thoughts, he will only tell Chen Chen and Xun You truthfully.

"Now I have Mr. You and Mr. Gongda, as well as Fengxiao and their talents, which are already the envy of many people in the world, and I actually have no extravagance."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh.

"I often stay up all night, but instead of worrying, I sigh why I am so lucky and why I am so favored by God."

"If it weren't for the fact that my identity is not suitable now, maybe I would have shouted that the destiny is mine."

Liu Bei said that the level is high.

Even Chen Chen and Xun You, who are actually ghosts and ghosts, and their emotions will not be swayed by some false words, are also a little moved, after all, in Liu Bei's words, their status has reached a certain level.

In fact, if they want to ensure their status, there is no need to persuade Liu Bei to pay attention to new talents, and the most important thing is to firmly grasp power and trust in their own hands.

But that's what they're looking at the whole world.

Chen Chen knows that he relies on these people now, although his strength is not weak, but if he wants to dominate the Han Dynasty and be able to develop the Han well, it is not enough, compared with the bright stars and shining stars of this era, this is only a part, and there are still too many talents waiting for them to collect and promote.

"Xuande Gong, do you know?"

Chen Chen took Liu Bei and turned around, not looking at Nanpi City, but outside Nanpi City, he stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, referring to the world.

"This world has a shape, and a big man has a heart."

"The shape of the world needs to be shaped by countless people, and the heart of this great man is gathered by countless people."

"What a vast territory such a great man will have, how abundant the products will be, and how ardent the people will be, which we cannot see now, and we cannot predict."

"That big man in the future, just relying on us people is far from enough."

Chen Chen pointed into the distance.

"Xuande Gong, look at the south of this big man, we haven't set foot in it yet, and we haven't conquered it yet."

"In fact, now that we occupy the land of Sanzhou, it has not completely stabilized, so it is more necessary to absorb more new talents to fill the talent needs everywhere."

"Taihang Academy will provide a large number of talents, but we can't give up the opportunity to have access to more geniuses."

"This big man, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger."

"This world will be full of stars."

"Now is not the time for us to relax and be complacent."

"Our journey has just begun!"

"Let's develop it when you start from scratch! Xuande Gong! ”

Chen Chen's fingers were straight, and his voice was firm, giving people confidence, but Xun You didn't interject, because he didn't know if he should say something at this time, as if it was inappropriate to say it, it would ruin the atmosphere, but don't say it, he is a little awkward.

Forget it, it's better to be awkward yourself, Xun You thought about it, and still didn't destroy the good atmosphere created by Chen Chen and Liu Bei at this time.

But he didn't expect that Chen Chen would suddenly ask himself.

"Gongda, you think so too, don't you?"

Chen Chen's eyes made Xun You have to speak.

"Well, if you're not pointing to the east, I think so, too."
