Frustrated with the short beard under the chin, his eyebrows lightly locked.

He could see the dissatisfaction in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he also understood his mood at the moment. Tian Feng has a straightforward temperament, and he does have a lost body. But he is dedicated to planning for Yuan Shao and is loyal, there is no doubt about it. It's just that the Jizhou family is unwilling to pay for relief in Yanzhou, and Tian Feng can't help it. Now Cao Ang refused Yuan Shao's order and refused to help the war, which was a sign of centrifugation. If it is not resolved quickly, allowing Yanzhou to stand on its own will not bode well for Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng's plan is fine, the question is how to convince Yuan Shao. Guo Tu is a nuisance. As a representative of the Ruying faction, Guo Tu definitely hopes to capture Yingchuan as soon as possible. Once Yuan Shao captured Yingchuan, the Yingchuan people would once again enter the Yuan Shao shogunate in large numbers and overwhelm the Jizhou people again. Tian Feng insisted on taking the east road, but he was not without worries in this regard. Even if Tian Feng didn't mean this, Yuan Shao would think so. He is also a native of Jizhou, and supporting Tian Feng's proposal can easily give Yuan Shao the impression of forming a party.

The battle between the Ruying and Jizhou factions has affected strategic decision-making, which is not good news. It is not a simple matter for him to insist on his point of view without making Yuan Shao suspicious.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shao couldn't hold it back, and asked again, his expression was already a little unhappy. He hurriedly apologized. "Lord, I was thinking about a question just now, a momentary distraction, a capital crime, a capital crime."

Yuan Shao waved his hand, pretending to be generous. "It's okay, what do you have to think, tell me about it."

"Soldiers, compete for the situation, seek advantage in the middle, and avoid harm below. I'm thinking, if I were Sun Ce, I would want the lord to march from all the way, and how to arrange the troops to compete for the situation, so as to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. Only by understanding what he wants and what he is afraid of, can we prescribe the right medicine and treat the disease. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and nodded again and again, feeling that this sentence made sense. Sun Ce used troops in Yanzhou twice, the first time in Junyi, and the second time in Rencheng. It doesn't seem to make a difference, but on closer analysis, it's still obvious how heavy it is. When he was in Junyi, he was content to defeat Yuan Tan, and did not take advantage of the victory to chase after him without big losses. In Rencheng, he went all out, father and son worked together, and mobilized Tai Shi Ci, who was fighting in Qingzhou, to help, if it weren't for Yuan Tan's obvious superiority in troops, although Sun Ce won, but also paid heavy casualties, he would definitely continue to advance.

It can be seen that his center of gravity is more inclined to the east.

This is also understandable. There is Mount Tai in the east, and once you control this area, it is equivalent to building a fortress on the left side of Jizhou. Now he and Gongsun Chan are united, and there is a new reason: to occupy Qingzhou, he can ensure contact with Gongsun Zhan, if he loses Qingxu, even if he has the advantage of a sailor, he has to bypass Donglai, not to mention the long distance, the wind and waves at sea are also a danger that cannot be ignored, far less convenient than passing through Qingzhou.

Now Sun Ce's contact with Youzhou is through a post road through Donglai, Beihai, Langya, and Donghai. If Qingzhou falls into the hands of Sun Ce, this post road will be controlled in his hands, which will be more convenient. If Qingzhou falls into their own hands and pushes the front to the East China Sea, this post road will be abandoned, and the time it will take will be at least doubled.

If after taking Qingzhou, the front is pushed forward and Xuzhou is taken, then Sun Ce will not only be threatened by the right flank, but will also be blocked from going to sea, so he can only take the Yangtze River. Compared with going to sea from Qingzhou, the distance is at least twice as much, which is like cutting off.

Yuan Shao took the map, spread it on the case, weighed it repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the eastern front was more suitable.

"Gonghe, what about Yanzhou?"

Fu Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Lord, Cao Cao and Cao Ang are all old ministers of the lord, they will not easily betray, otherwise they will laugh for the world, and Yanzhou Shilin will not agree. In the courtier's opinion, this may be just a moment of righteous indignation. They didn't know the difficulties of the lord, so they just thought that the lord would not save him when he saw death, and sat back and watched the spread of the epidemic in Yanzhou, resulting in heavy losses in Yanzhou. It's not difficult, as long as the lord explains the reason, they will naturally understand. ”

"This ...... Can you make it clear? ”

"My lord, when Yanzhou had the most hukou, there were about 800,000 households, more than 4 million people, and the loss of the hukou was indeed very serious in the years of successive wars, but the most losses were ordinary people, and the impact of the family was not great. They live in forts, and the soldiers are well fed, and ordinary rogues can't help them at all. In the battle at the beginning of the year, they responded to the call of Xiansi and sent troops to help, and suffered some losses, but they did not break their muscles and bones. According to the Chen's estimates, excluding Chen Liu, Taishan, and Rencheng and other counties and states that were occupied by Sun Ce, there are at least 200,000 households and more than 100 households in Yanzhou, and it should not be a problem to gather 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers. If it is a strong attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to win quickly, so it is better to be Huairou. Ji Yan's exchange of troops will only cheapen Sun Ce. ”

Yuan Shao nodded again and again. Guo Tu saw it in his eyes and sneered.

Fu Zhu continued: "Even if you want to take the Junyi, you can't ignore Yanzhou. Meng Zhuo stayed in Pingyu and did not return, if Chen was forcibly taken, Zhang Chao would advance and retreat with Cao Ang on the grounds that brotherly love was indispensable, and loyalty and filial piety were difficult to achieve. The lord's original intention was to fight with Sun Ce, but now he has to fight against Zhang Chao and Cao Ang first, and Sun Ce can't ask for it. ”

Yuan Shao snorted, slammed the case hard, and felt a little headache. Zhang Miao is in Pingyu, and Cao Ang's adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, is also in Pingyu, if he storms Yanzhou and fights with Cao Ang and Zhang Chao, it is tantamount to trapping people in injustice, and Cao Ang and Zhang Chao have enough reasons to fight him. After all, it is better to send someone to make peace with Cao Ang according to the suggestion of Fu Zhi. With the support of Cao Ang, it is undoubtedly more advantageous to march from the eastern front and seize Qingxu.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Guo Tu. "Rules, what about your opinion?"

Guo Tu quietly touched the manuscript in his arms and smiled calmly. "It would be great if Cao Ang could find his way back. Cao Cao learned from Sun Ce to carry out a new policy in Yizhou, and it is said that the effect was good, and it was not appropriate to force Cao Ang to deviate from morality at this time. It's just that I had a grudge because of money, food and medicine before, and now I want to turn the conflict into a jade silk, and it doesn't make sense in one or two sentences. He smiled and bowed to Tian Feng and Fu Zhi. Brother Yuan Hao, Gonghe, you have to spend some time to let Zhengnan understand the hard work of the lord, and don't be stingy. These money, grains and medicines, after taking Yuzhou, are more. Sun Ce has countless tuntians in Yuzhou, and there are thousands of dumps in Xu County alone. ”

Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he glanced at Guo Tu.

Tian Feng was disdainful, and he didn't even look at Guo Tu. Frustrated with a sigh to himself. Guo Tu takes retreat as advance, but he still does not give up. This matter must be done quickly, otherwise Yuan Shao's mind will change again. However, Guo Tu was right, if he wanted to convince Cao Ang, it was not enough to have eloquence, and he had to come up with real money, food and medicine. However, it is not easy to persuade the judge and others to pay for food. If Jizhou Haoqiang contributes, this will also be very unfavorable to the family in southern Hebei.

After the discussion, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu left in a hurry, rushing back to discuss how to persuade the trial.

Guo Tu also returned to the big tent, closed the tent door, and sneered.

At this time, there was a soft cough outside the tent door. Guo Tu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, turned around and opened the tent door. The moment the tent door opened, a big smile appeared on his face. "Lord, why are you here?"

Yuan Shao stood quietly outside the tent with his hands behind his back. "I heard that you got some good southern fruits, I'll try them."
