Several people looked at each other, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan sat on one side, Gao Gan and Yuan Shang sat on one side, the factions were clear, but Yuan Shao didn't seem to see it, and continued: "Over the past year, the four of you have done quite well, whether you are outside or at home, but now that the world is in chaos, although we have gained a certain opportunity, we can't be proud, we have to guard against arrogance and rashness, so as to be stable and long-term, you can wait clearly." ”

"Humble duty understands." Although Yuan Shao said that the family was talking, the words were said at a glance, and several people did not dare to be abrupt, and they were busy calling their subordinates.

Yuan Shao smiled and said: "This battle of Xuzhou, I didn't expect it to drag on for so long, although there is Cao Cao added in, but no matter what, if it drags on for a long time, it will not be good for my development, so I want to ask you, is there any good way to solve it quickly?" ”

Yuan Xi didn't know what Yuan Shao thought, so he didn't speak, to be honest, on the way here, he also knew a lot about the battle of Xuzhou, in his opinion, Xuzhou will be defeated sooner or later, as long as it is fought like this, Cao Cao will not drag on for long, even if the second uncle and his father fight each other, the ending will be the same.

But now that his father suddenly wants to step up to end the war, Yuan Xi is a little confused about what he means, this end can be over a long time ago, if you want to drag it out, you can continue to drag it out, it's not a matter of your words, ask others, just

After all, Yuan Tan was in charge of the battle of Xuzhou on Yuan Shao's side, and he had the most right to speak, and he was about to give up his hand to speak, but he didn't expect Yuan Shang on the side to answer.

"Father, the child thinks that the battle of Xuzhou, if you want to solve it quickly, you may be able to consider other methods."

"Oh," Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Tell me, what can you do?" ”

Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan also looked at him strangely, this guy soaked in Yecheng every day, and it was the first time that he could actually know how to give advice.

Yuan Shang glanced at Gao Gan and said softly: "Change generals!" ”

As soon as Yuan Shang's words fell, Yuan Tan became angry, not looking at Yuan Shao on the side, he probably started scolding: "Yuan Shang, what do you mean?" I'm now Qingzhou Mu, where are you going to change me? ”

Yuan Xi also felt that Yuan Shang didn't know if his brain was broken, and he said it.

However, after looking at Gao Gan, he saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he began to have some doubts in his heart, could this be the result of a good discussion between the two?

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Yuan Shang raised his head and said with a smile: "It's not interesting, this war, you have been fighting for so long, but you have not made any progress at all, as far as I know, it is not that the eldest brother's ability is not good, but that your approach is too conservative." If you change someone else as a general, change the style of play, and the eldest brother stabilizes the rear, maybe he can quickly break the current battle situation. ”

Yuan Xi was disdainful in his heart, this guy didn't see the battlefield situation clearly at all, so he analyzed it blindly, and he couldn't help but look at his father.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao also frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Yuan Xi is a little uneasy, how can he feel different from the situation he knows?

"In this way, think about how long do you think you can conquer Xuzhou?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan and asked.

"Father, you?" Yuan Tan was also confused, looking at Yuan Shao puzzled.

However, Yuan Shao obviously didn't mean to explain, but his face was expressionless.

Yuan Tan's heart was cold, he quickly cleaned up his mood, and said in a low voice: "If it is a strong attack, it will not take a month to take Xuzhou." ”

Xuzhou's strength is not weak now, Yuan Tan said that for a month, his heart was a little bottomless, but he didn't want Yuan Shang to look down on him, so he gritted his teeth and responded.

"Father, I suggest sending my cousin, he can guarantee to capture Xuzhou in half a month."

Yuan Shao was taken aback, and asked Gao Gan: "Yuan has only been half a month, are you sure you can capture Xuzhou?" ”

Gao Gan opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you are the main general, you will definitely take Xuzhou in half a month." ”

Yuan Tan was completely enraged, and pointed at Yuan Shang and said, "Third brother, what do you mean?" Can't get along with me, right? ”

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "How come, we are all for our father, we have to find an optimal method, whoever can quickly attack Xuzhou will go, big brother, what I said is right, is there any reason?" ”

If it weren't for Yuan Shao watching, Yuan Tan couldn't help but be about to use his sword to slash the person in front of him.

Now he is angry, but there is nothing he can do.

In fact, if it wasn't for his father's idea, taking advantage of Cao Cao's failure to join, let alone fifteen days, it would be ten days, and Yuan Tan would dare to guarantee that he could take it down, but Cao Cao was not an idle person. He is not stupid, and he really can't imagine how Gao Gan can take Xuzhou in fifteen days.

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Xiansi, for your father to give you half a month, can you take Xuzhou?" ”

"Father Me"

"Father, in ten days, I guarantee that my cousin will be able to take Xuzhou City in ten days."

"Smack!" Before Yuan Tan could react this time, Yuan Shao had already slapped the table fiercely, and said slightly angrily: "Xianfu, you have fought against your eldest brother three times and twice, what do you mean?" "The first time it was okay to say, but the second time it was mixed in, Rao is Yuan Shao loves him, and he can't help but be a little annoyed.

Besides, as long as he can take Xuzhou in fifteen days, he has basically completed his goal. It was Yuan Shaocai who was angry with Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was most afraid of Yuan Shao, and he was stunned, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Father forgive me, the child didn't go against the eldest brother, the child is just thinking about the battle of Xuzhou and wants to end the battle early." ”

"Don't talk about it." Yuan Shao snorted: "Just fifteen days!" ”

Yuan Shao looked at the silent Gao Gan behind him with a gloomy face, turned his head and asked again: "Xiansi, what do you think of half a month?" ”

Yuan Tan sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "The child will take Xuzhou within half a month." ”

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, but what happened just now also made him angry, he liked to watch a few people compete, but he didn't like the three sons to be disunited, so he didn't have any thoughts now, so he waved his hand and said: "After the marriage of Xianyi tomorrow, you will immediately leave for Qingzhou, and you must take Xuzhou at the end of January." ”

It's only the second or third day of January, and with the time to go back, it's almost just right. ”

After that, a few people said a few more words, and seeing that Yuan Shao was in an unhappy mood, they left one after another.

Out of Yuan Shao's courtyard, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan walked on the side, and said to Yuan Tan with a smile: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, I won Xuzhou in half a month, this miraculous feat, I want to have a strong stroke in the history books in the future, and the third brother can congratulate the eldest brother here." ”

Yuan Tan wrenched his face and snorted coldly: "Big brother, thank you for your congratulations, but it seems that a slug like you who only knows how to hide behind may not have a chance to be recorded in the history books." ”
