At this critical moment, Yuan Shao's indecisive character flaws are exposed.

He didn't know whether to do what Tian Feng said, and felt that this was very good, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Xu You said was also reasonable.

Attacking Guo Peng was to cut off his arm, so that he did not have the strength to attack north.

Attacking Gongsun Chan is to destroy Gongsun Chan and stabilize his rear.

Both approaches are meaningful, valuable, and both sound risky, and this five-five situation makes Yuan Shao very troubled.

How, exactly?

Attack Guo Peng, or attack Gongsun Zhan?

Seeing Xu You and Tian Feng spitting at each other, and seeing that they were about to roll up their sleeves and fight, Yuan Shao was irritable, slapped the table and roared: "Shut up!" ”

The strategists looked at Yuan Shao one after another, and suddenly found that they had lost their temper, so they apologized to Yuan Shao together.

Yuan Shao waved his hand, sat down irritably, and took a deep breath.

"What Ziyuan and Yuan Hao said makes sense, you are all thinking about me, so don't quarrel anymore."

"Yes."

The strategists died down and sat back in their seats, waiting for Yuan Shao's decision.

Yuan Shao thought about it, and felt that what they said was very reasonable, it was really difficult to decide, he couldn't think of what he should do, the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and finally made a decision.

Impartial, each playing fifty boards.

He ordered Lu Yi and Zhang He to lead 20,000 troops to the north and stationed in Gaoyang County, Hejian County, and ordered Yan Liang and Gao Ran to lead 10,000 troops to the south to garrison Fanyang County, to see which side of the army to attack if it was better to take advantage of it.

If you can't take advantage of it, it's good to be guarded.

Regarding Yuan Shao's "stroke of genius", neither Xu You nor Tian Feng understood it.

Since ancient times, fighting on two fronts has been a taboo in soldiers, and we quarrel to make a decision, ask you where you want, not let you want them all.

But Yuan Shao just said - I want them all.

After Yuan Shao made his decision, he ordered the army to go into action, and the strategists had no idea how to admonish Yuan Shao.

I only felt that I couldn't understand Yuan Shao's operation.

Yuan Shao's wave of divine manipulation Lu Bu didn't know.

After Lü Bu's attack was blocked, he also wrote a letter asking Yuan Shao to go south to help him attack Dongjun, but Yuan Shao had difficulty making a decision after receiving Lü Bu's letter, and asked the strategists to hold a meeting to discuss.

Naturally, there was no result.

In the end, Yuan Shao actually decided to wait for Lu Bu to conquer Puyang before going south to help Lu Bu, otherwise he would not send troops, so as not to arouse Guo Peng's indignation, and when the time comes, it will be a bad thing to go north to attack Jizhou.

Xu You saw from the number of soldiers and horses allocated by Yuan Shao that Yuan Shao was inclined to attack Gongsun Chan and tended to pinch soft persimmons, so he took the opportunity to send Yuan Shao to Gaoyang County to command the army to go to the northern expedition to Gongsun Zhan.

Tian Feng strongly persuaded Yuan Shao to cooperate with Lu Bu to attack Dongjun in the south, but Yuan Shao did not allow it.

Tian Feng anxiously grabbed Yuan Shao's sleeve and forcibly pulled Yuan Shao.

"General! The general's enemy is not Gongsun Zhan, it's Guo Zifeng! Gongsun Chan does not cultivate virtue and politics, he is unpopular, and sooner or later he will bring about his own destruction! Guo Zifeng occupies the land of the two states, cultivates virtue and politics diligently, and wins the hearts of the people!

Cai Bojiao ran the school palace for him, touted it a lot, and Zheng Kangcheng's son also came out under him, these two people supported Guo Peng so much, just like Shangshan Sihao sat next to Emperor Hui back then! Gaozu can't help it! His wings are about to be full, and if he doesn't contain it, it's too late! ”

Tian Feng's hoarse persuasion did not impress Yuan Shao.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't listen.

Yuan Shao was willing to listen to what Tian Feng said, but Tian Feng grabbed his sleeve and didn't let him walk, which made Yuan Shao very annoyed by such a crime.

Yuan Shao tried very hard to shake off Tian Feng's hand, Tian Feng grabbed it and didn't let go, Yuan Shao was really angry, shook it hard, and actually let his sleeves be torn by Tian Feng.

Looking at the torn sleeves, Yuan Shao glared at Tian Feng angrily, and his anger was high, and Tian Feng realized what he had done, and realized that it was not okay to think about it again.

Fu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Yuan Shao for Tian Feng, Yuan Shao snorted in annoyance and walked away.

As a result, the possibility of going south to help Lu Bu capture Yanzhou was completely gone, and the army led by Yan Liang and Gao Ran was equivalent to a garrison, and it was impossible to fight again.

Tian Feng was greatly annoyed, and repeatedly said that he didn't have to do that, and he was really impatient.

Frustrated to understand him, but Yuan Shao would ignore him.

The foreign aid that Lu Bu was thinking about was gone, but Gao Shun's progress was very smooth.

After driving the army to break through Changyi County, he plundered everywhere to obtain grain and grass, and forcibly recruited strong men to join the army to further expand the number of troops.

After he broke through Jinxiang County, swept away the heroes who relied on the self-defense of Wubao Manor, and obtained enough grain, he led his army into Renchengguo.

Be quick, take Guo Peng off guard, and before he has time to organize an army to resist, directly take down Yanzhou, which has a weak foundation in his rule, and expel him!

Gao Shun kept leading the army forward, and kept fighting to nourish the war, so as to obtain the motivation for continuous progress.

If Yuan Shu saw it, he would definitely appreciate Gao Shun's combat methods.

And Guo Peng also admired Gao Shun's combat methods.

But let's stop here, don't go any further, or I'll be distressed.

On 13 August, Guo Peng led his army to Fan County, Rencheng State, where he was stationed, and then took Xu Yan and Ying Shao, who had fled from the battle, into the Fan County army for protection.

The two were terrified and were afraid that Guo Peng would punish them, but Guo Peng sighed, stepped forward to help the two who were bound by themselves, and untied them.

"Lu Bu's sudden attack, something that no one expected, you are like this, I am like this, despite this, you still fought hard, even if you failed to win, you also fulfilled your duty, what else is there to blame?"

Guo Peng pardoned Xu Yan and Ying Shao, Xu Yan and Ying Shao wept bitterly, and then Guo Peng ordered to appease the "war dead" Shanyang County Guard, praising him for his loyalty to the country and his dedication, but unfortunately he died, sad and painful.

Stabilizing people's hearts, Guo Peng began to order a counteroffensive.

Chen Ji had already ensured the grain route, and the grain depots along the marching road in the county were abundant, and a large number of people were requisitioned in time to assist in transporting grain, which stabilized the supply of grain, so Guo Peng led the army to advance slowly.

At that time, Gao Shun's vanguard had already rushed to fifteen miles southwest of Fan County, and Guo Peng sent Le Jin to lead a cavalry of 1,000 men to crusade against them and test the strength of Gao Shun's army.

As a result, Lejin easily won and defeated the vanguard army of 2,000 men.

Le Jin came back with more than 600 heads, saying that these people were not strong, and there was no discipline in the battle, and they would collapse at the first touch.

Guo Peng has a bottom in his heart.
