Zhang Yan still managed to escape the trap set for him by Yuan Shao.

But when he reached a safe place and began to count the number of people who had successfully escaped, he discovered a more serious problem.

That is, the formation of the Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was broken away by the ambush of the Yuan Army, so now Zhang Yan found that tens of thousands of people escaped with him, and the rest were scattered everywhere, after all, when they had just evacuated, different middle-level generals led their soldiers to evacuate the battlefield from different directions.

And they don't have any good connections with each other.

So Zhang Yan has no way to guarantee that she can find them now.

And because Guan Hai died, many of the generals of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are actually not very familiar with Zhang Yan, after all, the Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have a total of nearly 500,000 people, how can Zhang Yan, as the commander, recognize everyone? What's more, after this defeat, the establishment was disrupted again, and Zhang Yan was even more difficult to recognize.

However, after they dispersed, there should be a small leader or something with them, and Zhang Yan still knows most of the generals.

But it's still that problem, there are still a lot of people Zhang Yan doesn't know about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Department not long after the merger with the Montenegrin Army.

And Senior Brother Guan Hai left the hope of life to himself and died generously, so he naturally had the obligation to take care of the brothers he left behind.

Of course, this problem also laid a hidden danger for the future war situation.

And some of the generals of Liu Bei's camp, when there was no way to find Zhang Yan, simply took the people they gathered and went north to join the Dingyuan army.

This is nothing to blame, after all, according to the previous statement, in fact, the relationship between the Black Mountain Army and Liu Bei's camp is still a friendly army, and when there is no way to find their own top leader, in order to prevent being wiped out by the Yuan army, it is normal for them to seek refuge in the Dingyuan Army.

This made Xu Huang unexpectedly have a lot of young adults in his hands, and at present, if these people want to live under their own control, they must not eat white food, so after Xu Huang asked Xu Shu's opinion, he also arranged for them to work under his rule with confidence.

If you don't make good use of this amount of labor, it's a waste.

As for the matter of grain and grass, there is no need to worry, he is backed by the people of Sanzhou, and he believes that if this small problem is solved, Mr. will be able to solve it well.

And now that Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army can be dispersed, Xu Huang understands that he needs to be more serious about his preparedness and be ready to deal with the attack of the Yuan army, as long as he can suppress the Yuan army in Qingzhou, then he can be regarded as a success.

But what Xu Shu saw was not just what Xu Huang saw.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made some mistakes in his estimation of the strength of Yuan Shao's army.

However, the news and information he got before were enough to support him to get a more accurate data, but why at this time, Yuan Jun's strength was completely different from their previous strength?

Could it be that I missed some elements wrong?

Xu Shu thought about it seriously, and compared the information collected by the scouts of the Dingyuan Army according to his teachings before.

In the end, it was determined that the time point when Yuan Jun's strength had undergone a qualitative change, was when Yuan Tan's body was sent back to Yuan Shao's camp.

If there is no other unexpected impact, the news of Yuan Tan's death will be an important node for Yuan Jun's strength to change.

But Xu Shu didn't think much about it.

That is, Yuan Tan's status in the Yuan army is not particularly lofty, Yuan Shao asked him to guard Bohai County, on the one hand, it is also to give him the opportunity to play a record, improve his prestige, so that he can be more recognized when he takes over his career in the future.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yuan Tan's death to make the soldiers of the Yuan army have much emotional fluctuations and resonance, so as to achieve the effect of mourning the victory of the soldiers.

That may only be suspicious of two aspects.

Xu Shu combined the knowledge he had learned and came up with the two most likely solutions.

The first plan, that is, either Yuan Shao is ruthless and directly sacrifices Yuan Tan to the sky, which may be able to achieve this short-term improvement effect through some forbidden spells.

But the possibility of this plan is actually not particularly large, because Yuan Shao's personality, if he is not a two-faced person, then he must not be able to do this kind of thing, and he has not received any news, Yuan Shao has a strategist who can use this kind of Yin Damage Technique, relatively speaking, in fact, Yuan Shaojun's overall style is relatively normal.

That should be the second option.

That is, Yuan Tan's death stimulated Yuan Shao too much, and Yuan Shao estimated that he had the ability to be related to the situation or the death of his relatives.

Xu Shu also thought that Dong Zhuo had slaughtered the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang in Luoyang, Yuan Shao's eldest brother Yuan Ji was beheaded in public, and his uncle was also hacked to death with a knife, and finally the head of the Yuan family was dropped on the city wall.

At that time, Yuan Shao burst out with command ability and military talent that no one else expected, and he forced the most powerful Lu Bu army in the Three Routes Xiliang Army back to Luoyang, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became.

And this time Yuan Tan died, and the Yuan army suddenly became stronger, and was able to easily design and defeat the Black Mountain Army, which had hundreds of thousands of troops.

I have to say that the commonalities are too obvious to make people have to think together.

In fact, Xu Shu's conjecture is correct, but he is different from Chen Chen, he doesn't know these guys in this era as well as Chen Chen.

Xu Shu could only guess that it was the blow that made Yuan Shao stronger, but after Chen Chen in Yecheng received the news that Yuan Shao had merged with Qingzhou, captured Beihai County, killed Guan Hai, and imprisoned Kong Rong, Chen Chen told Liu Bei about Yuan Shao's ability.

"Sir, you said that this Yuan Benchu's strength is suddenly stronger again, will it threaten us?"

Liu Bei frowned and asked Chen Chen, after all, the Black Mountain Army can be regarded as his own friendly army, and he was originally counting on this friendly army to do something in Qingzhou, and then according to Chen Chen's previous arrangement, let them make a wedding dress for themselves.

But this friendly army, which seemed to be very strong on paper, was defeated by the Yuan army that had just suffered a heavy blow, Liu Bei naturally knew that he had just killed Yuan Shao's son, and now that Yuan Shao had solved the internal troubles in Qingzhou, he would inevitably have to make a move against the Dingyuan army stationed on the border of Qingzhou.

According to the strength of the Dingyuan Army, it is estimated that it is about the same as the hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops led by Zhang Yan, so if the Yuan army can defeat the Montenegrin Army like that, maybe it can also defeat the Dingyuan Army.

"There's definitely a threat."

Chen Chen shook his head, alas, the opportunity was given to Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan was useless!

It seems that others think that Yuan Shao's army is like a god.

An army of less than 100,000 people defeated the 300,000 army under Zhang Yan so easily, isn't this the prestige that Zhang Yan himself went up to give to others?

Chen Chen knew that Yuan Jun's strength would definitely improve.

And because of the loss of Bohai County and the death of Yuan Tan, the situation of Yuan Shao's camp must be judged to be a big disadvantage, and if Liu Bei's camp and Yuan Shao's camp are placed together, this disadvantage is even greater when compared.

Therefore, Chen Chen knew about Yuan Jun's strength improvement, but he also knew that this kind of improvement was not without an upper limit, but now that Zhang Yan sent it in such a wave, it made people feel that the other side was too strong.

Even a leader like Liu Bei would be nervous.

"But the threat is not so great, basically it will not threaten our basic strategy, that is, there may be disadvantages in the local battlefield."

Chen Chen took a sip of tea, and they had now developed the habit of drinking more tea while chatting.

"Because of Yuan Shao's ability, it is estimated that his own increase is judged according to the situation, and the side effect should be that when the situation is judged to be excellent, their strength will decline, and his own decision-making will also have problems, but if the situation is judged to be inferior, such as their current situation, they are completely disadvantaged, then their strength will improve a lot at this time, but their basic strength and number are there, as long as we respond in time, we will not fail."

"And."

Chen Chen looked at Liu Bei's eyes, which were still full of worry, and rolled up his sleeves, intending to explain the truth to him.

"In the case that the Dingyuan army has not yet received support, this battle on the border between Qingzhou and Jizhou will definitely be defeated, I have also explained to Yuan Zhi, and the others can be let out, but Taishan County must be tightened, and our support will arrive immediately."

"I guess it's a ploy against the frustration."

Chen Chen continued to talk about Yuan Shaojun's current situation in Liu Bei's puzzled eyes.

"He should have already calculated what his family's Yuan Benchu's ability was, so at the beginning of the war, he made their enemies his own, whether it was a raid on the North Sea or a plan to lure the Black Mountain Army, it was just one of the links they did to us."

"So the bonus they enjoy is the bonus against our entire team, and it's the North Sea."

"At that time, the Dingyuan Army will also be in this form, that is, the bonuses enjoyed by the Yuan Army are based on the strength of our entire camp, but it is only a team of the Dingyuan Army."

Chen Chen said this, and Liu Bei understood.

Co-author Yuan Shao is now cheating.

Is it true that if the enemy can be designated as the whole world, then Yuan Shaojun's strength will not be increased even more?

Fortunately, this kind of single camp that can only be designated for bordering, and Liu Bei, as the camp that seems to be the strongest at the moment, is naturally the choice that can provide Yuan Shao with the most amplification.

"Now we need Xuande's relatives to levy."

Chen Chen smiled.

He knew that Liu Bei had always wanted to find something interesting to do.

And this time it is already a decisive battle in the north, after winning this battle, you will be able to control the four northern states in peace and stability, develop and develop well, and when the time comes, the improvement and accumulation of strength, no one in the world will be faster than them, and when the strength allows, you can simply push the world.

With Liu Bei's personal expedition, he was able to gather most of the army generals together.

And this war, which can basically be an important part of the cornerstone war of Liu Bei's camp to unify the Han Dynasty, if he wins, the biggest credit will still fall to Liu Bei, and then everyone will not have to worry about the matter of high merit.

Although it is a bit funny in Liu Bei's camp to say that the matter of the game between the master and the monarch and the minister, Chen Chen's own principle is biased towards cautiousness.

There are some things that can be done without consideration, and that is not an obligation, but since it can be done more securely and reassuringly, then why not do it?

This can also give Liu Bei a sense of security, isn't it?

A lord with a strong sense of security and trust can bring immeasurable positive effects to the entire camp.

"Good!"

Speaking of pro-Zheng, Liu Bei is interested.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought that he was wearing the armor that had accompanied him on the battlefield, and carrying the male and female double-strand swords that he had not killed for a long time, and he was wantonly crisscrossing and galloping on the battlefield, which was simply a sweet dream.

"Someone! After ordering the armies to leave enough troops to maintain law and order, everyone else gathered in Fuyang City, preparing to rush to the aid of Taishan County, support the Dingyuan army, and fight a decisive battle with Yuan Benchu. ”

Liu Bei felt that his body was full of vitality.

As everyone knows, he looks like a hairy child moving around there, and Chen Chen can only smile helplessly when he looks at it from the sidelines.

The boss has been the boss for so many years, and he still doesn't pay much attention to his image.

But maybe it's the lord who doesn't pay attention to his image in front of himself is the boss in his heart, right?

Chen Chen packed up the information on the table, he always felt that there might be other links in the layout of the frustrated professor, but now there is not enough strong evidence to support his conjecture, and he still needs to study and study it again.

Looks like I have to go home and work overtime or something?

Forget it, that's impossible.

If you work overtime, then your youth will be over, so let's wait for more news tomorrow to make a judgment.

Chen Chen sorted out the information and put it back on the corner of the table, and followed Liu Bei out to find Xun You.

At the same time, Yuan Shao, who was already sitting on the top of the Beihai County Government, glanced at the generals under his command lightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"Just fight like this, as long as we maintain this state, even if it is Liu Xuande, we can win the battle."

Yuan Shao's gaze was firm, and he nodded beside him.

This time, he skillfully used the layout of Beihai to easily solve the internal troubles in Qingzhou, and also made Zhang Yan suffer a big loss, even the original Qingzhou Yellow Turban Commander Guan Hai also died in Beihai, I have to say that the merits of Frustration should be ranked first, which also made Yuan Shao trust Frustration's strategy even more.

"Gonghe, I toast you, and then you have to work hard."

Yuan Shao adjusted his facial expression, put on a smile, and toasted a glass of wine to Fu Zhi, which flattered Fu Zhi.

In fact, he has been a celebrity for so many years, and his heart is not so easy to surprise ups and downs, but at least the surface work must be in place.
