Yuan Shao received the war book delivered by Liu Bei in Dongguang County, but it could be seen from the angry green tendons on the back of his hand holding the war book that Yuan Shao was not in a very good mood at the moment.

"Ziyuan, do you say that I will accept this war book or not?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu and asked.

Xu You lowered his eyes, looked at the letter of war that Yuan Shao pinched in his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "Lord, take it!" ”

Facing Yuan Shao's gaze, Xu You did not have any fear and cowardice, and said: "My lord, this Liu Bei's troops must be inseparable from Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei's purpose should be to drag us in the Bohai Sea and buy time for Gongsun Chan to seize Jizhou. ”

Yuan Shao nodded: "Ziyuan, what you said is indeed reasonable, but what does this have to do with us taking Liu Bei's battle letter?" ”

Xu You said: "Lord, Liu Bei sent troops to contain us, but although Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan have a good relationship, but after all, they are not one heart, it is estimated that Liu Bei will not lose his own soldiers and horses in a bloody battle with us for Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei is thinking now that he should want to contain us at the lowest cost, and for Liu Bei, the best way is to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei take action to hit the morale of our army, so that Liu Bei can occupy the initiative." He didn't have to lose his strength too much, but also fulfilled Gongsun Zhan's requirements. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu and asked, "Ziyuan, what do you mean?" ”

Xu You said: "Lord, now Gongsun Chan has taken Hejian, Anping, Zhongshan several places, and is currently gathering a large army to approach Julu, Julu only has a few thousand soldiers and horses of Pan Feng, and it can't stop Gongsun Chan's attack at all, and now Youruo They have successfully persuaded Han Fu to be willing to give up the position of Jizhou Mu and welcome the Lord Duke into Jizhou, if we are restrained by Liu Bei here, under the power of Gongsun Zhan's troops, I'm afraid Han Fu will have some other ideas, so we should defeat Liu Bei as quickly as possible, even if we can't drive Liu Bei out of the Bohai Sea, We can't let Liu Bei influence our plans. ”

"Liu Bei invited us to fight tomorrow, then we will fight with him and lay down a victory in this battle." Xu You's eyes flashed with light, and he said: "Liu Bei's account is related to Yu Zhang Fei, but there is also Yan Liang and Wen Chou under the command of the lord, tomorrow's battle, General Yan Liang and General Wen Chou can contain Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't make a move to affect the battle situation, we have a seventy percent chance of winning this battle." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two fierce generals sitting in front of him, and asked, "Ziyi, Zizheng, can you two have the confidence to deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?" ”

Yan Liang Yan Ziyi, Wen Chou Wen Zizheng, is now the two strongest generals under Yuan Shao, and is known as the "Hebei Twin Heroes". If there is anyone under Yuan Shao's command who can resist Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, only Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the only ones.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou glanced at each other at this time, stood up together, got up and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will hand it over to the two of us." ”

Xu You said at this time: "My lord, as long as General Yan and General Wen can contain Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so that the two of them can no longer meddle in the battle, and then General Chun Yuqiong will lead the troops to charge at that time, our chances of victory will already be seventy percent." ”

After Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes fell on Chun Yuqiong, and said: "Chun Yuqiong, you go down and prepare, tomorrow after Yi Hezi is holding back Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the battle situation will be under your control." ”

"The last will obey."

Last year, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road discussed Dong, Chun Yuqiong was the cultivation of the peak of Yunjin, and now more than a year has passed, and Chun Yuqiong's cultivation has also stepped into the Ning Gang realm, although there is only the early stage of Ning Gang, but it is also the Ning Gang realm. According to the information that Yuan Shao had, among the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Bei this time, as long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not make a move, no one would be Chun Yuqiong's opponent.

After arranging everything, Yuan Shao's eyes also showed a burning color.

As Xu You said, now for Yuan Shao, Liu Bei is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to go to Yecheng to take over the power of Jizhou from Han Fu, only in this way is it in line with Yuan Shao's interests. If Liu Bei is contained in the Bohai Sea, then eighty percent of Jizhou will be captured by Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao does not believe that Gongsun Chan will share Jizhou with him equally, just like Yuan Shao will not share Jizhou with Gongsun Zhan.

But Liu Bei didn't want to find a way to solve it, so Yuan Shao was unlikely to go to Yecheng. With 5,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command, plus Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two fierce generals in the later stage of the Ning Gang Realm, if Yuan Shao is not in the Bohai Sea, then as long as Liu Bei is bold, it is not impossible to take Nanpi.

Therefore, the most important thing for Yuan Shao now is to defeat Liu Bei in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost, at least let Liu Bei's 5,000 people lose the strength to fight again, only in this way can Yuan Shao leave Bohai and go to Yecheng to take over the power of Jizhou from Han Fu.

Although Yuan Shao's side has a great advantage in Xu You's analysis, Yuan Shao will not be blindly optimistic, the real victory and defeat can only be seen on the battlefield, before going to the battlefield, so the analysis is just speculation.

In a few days, Han Fu's envoy will come to Yecheng, if Yuan Shao can't solve Liu Bei before that, he won't be able to go to Yecheng with peace of mind, once the time drags on, I'm afraid that Gongsun Chan will take the lead, and then Yuan Shao's plan will be very unfavorable.

For Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan is a knife that Yuan Shao used to force Han Fu to make a decision, but if Gongsun Chan's knife did not listen to the command, broke away from Yuan Shao's control, and stabbed Han Fu to death, it would be a bad thing for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao wants to take over Jizhou from Han Fu justifiably, only in this way can he strengthen his control over Jizhou, but if Han Fu has an accident because of Gongsun Zhan, then Yuan Shao's plan can be said to be a bamboo basket. Therefore, before Gongsun Chan arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao had to rush to Yecheng and rightfully take over the power of Jizhou from Han Fu.

If you want to rush to Yecheng, Liu Bei can't ignore it, you must solve Liu Bei first, and you must solve Liu Bei at the lowest cost.

If Yuan Shao was too damaged in the battle with Liu Bei, then even if he could win, he would not be able to take over Jizhou and deal with Gongsun Zhan.

No matter what, let's fight with Liu Bei tomorrow and see how Liu Beijun's combat strength is
