In the second year of Jian'an, in this year, Yuan Yao began to rectify the forces under his command, adjust the military system, and form a war army. And in the north of Yuan Yao's territory, the other number one person of the Yuan clan in Runan, Yuan Shao, the first prince in the north, also began to prepare to make some moves.

Yuan Yao took Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and half of Xuzhou plus a Chenliu County to pull out an army of 250,000, while Yuan Shao was the first state in the world, Jizhou, and won Youzhou from Gongsun Zhan, also with an army of 200,000. After holding an army of 200,000, Yuan Shao was not satisfied with Jizhou and Youzhou, but focused on the adjacent Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao's martial arts strength was not inferior to Yuan Yao, and even surpassed Yuan Yao in some aspects. Yuan Shao's generals have the cultivation of the Ning Gang Realm, including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Qiong, Lu Yi, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong, Han Meng and others, and in terms of Wenchen, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xian Pei, Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Dong Zhao and others all have the cultivation of the Void Soul Realm. And among the civil and military forces under Yuan Shao's command, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lu Yi, Han Qiong, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Ju Pei are all strong people who can manifest the phantom of the bloodline, although there is no Xuan Transformation Realm for the time being, but these people are all expected to break through to the Xuan Transformation Realm. Especially Yan Liangwen and Chou, they are only one step away from the Xuan Transformation Realm, and they are both in the prime of life, full of qi and blood, and they have the greatest hope of breaking through to the Xuan Transformation Realm.

In Yecheng, Yuan Shao gathered all the civil servants and strategists under his command. At this time, the top ten strategists under Yuan Shao were all seated, and Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, and under Yuan Shao and the top ten strategists, there were three figures with slightly green faces. It is Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shao looked at the top ten strategists in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Now that Yuan Yao has inherited all the forces of the road, there are basically no strong enemies around him except Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and we are surrounded by the four major forces of Lu Bu, Gongsun Du, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, what do you think we should do next if we want to develop?" ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, none of the top ten strategists spoke, Tian Feng closed his eyes and said nothing, interrogating Xun Chen with a thoughtful look, Xu You's eyes rolled, but he didn't speak, he didn't want to be the first bird, and the other Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, and Dong Zhao didn't know if they had no ideas, or they didn't say it intentionally.

Yuan Shao saw that after he finished speaking, he was cold, and his face was a little blue, and then his eyes swept over the top ten strategists, and finally fell on Xu You, and said, "Ziyuan, what do you think?" ”

Since the last time Xu You offered a plan for Yuan Shao to win Youzhou, Xu You has been more and more valued by Yuan Shao, and at this moment Yuan Shao is looking directly at Xu You, wanting to hear Xu You's opinion.

Xu You didn't want to be the first bird, but at this time, Yuan Shaodu had already named him, and he couldn't help it if he didn't want to say it.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates think we should deal with Qingzhou Liu Bei."

"Oh, why?" At this moment, Xu You's voice didn't make Yuan Shao too embarrassed, but Yuan Shao still planned to listen to why Xu You said that he wanted to deal with Liu Bei first, after all, there is more than one Qingzhou Liu Bei around Yuan Shao now, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Bingzhou Lu Bu, and Liaodong Gongsun Du can all be dealt with.

Xu You said at this time: "My lord, the grandson of Liaodong is in a safe corner, and there are no talents under his command, but he can only be safe by relying on the geographical advantages of Liaodong." Lu Bu of Bingzhou, brave and unstrategic, although assisted by Chen Gong, but Bingzhou is a barren land, unable to support Lu Bu's army to attack and consume, the most important thing is that the Southern Xiongnu have been moving during this time, and Lu Bu is busy dealing with the Southern Xiongnu going south. Although Yanzhou is Cao Cao's territory, now Cao Cao's main focus is on Sili and Xiliang, and he will not take the initiative to attack. At this time, the biggest threat to us is undoubtedly Liu Bei in Qingzhou, and only this Liu Xuande has the time, mind and ability to attack. We want to sweep the Quartet, Liu Bei is the biggest hidden danger, only by solving him first, can we safely seek to seize Liaodong, Bingzhou, Yanzhou and other places. ”

After listening to Xu You's analysis, Yuan Shao also felt that it was very reasonable, at present, around Yuan Shao's territory, the biggest threat to Yuan Shao was Liu Bei, if Liu Bei was solved first, then the remaining Lu Bu, Gongsun Du and others were actually not afraid.

"What do you think?"

After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao did not make a decision immediately, but looked at the trial and asked for the opinion of the trial, but at this time, a trace of jealousy flashed in Xu You's eyes, but he covered it up very well, and no one found out.

Xu You thought that his opinion was very correct, and it was also the best choice for Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao did not adopt it immediately, but also looked at the opinions of the trial, which is enough to show that in Yuan Shao's heart, Xu You's status is not as good as the trial, which makes Xu You, who thinks highly of himself on weekdays, not care.

However, Xu You also knows very well that although he thinks that his wisdom is no worse than that of the judge and others, he is always inferior in terms of individual strength, so now Yuan Shao's most trusted strategist Wenchen is still Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xun Chen, and Xun Chen, and the other six people have always been a little worse than these four people in Yuan Shao's heart.

The judge glanced at Xu Yu at this time, and then said: "Lord, Ziyuan's opinion is indeed good, but now Liu Bei has four fierce generals under Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, and Zhao Yun. Moreover, in terms of merging states, Lu Bu has already broken through to the Xuanchang realm, Zhang Liao and Gaoshun are all strong men who can manifest the phantom of blood, and they can't be guarded against, but on the Liaodong side, they only need to send a general to contain it. Therefore, if you want to do it this time, you must take precautions against it. ”

Yuan Shao's brows furrowed at this time, what he said in this trial is indeed the truth, not to mention anything else, Lu Bu himself is a great threat, if he doesn't care about the state, what if Lu Bu takes advantage of his attack on Qingzhou to attack Jizhou.

And looking around at the people in front of him, Yuan Shao also quickly had a plan.

"This time, I personally led the troops to Qingzhou, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Ran Sitingzhu and Chun Yuqiong accompanied the army, and the five people of Trial, Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Dong Zhao were military advisors, with 100,000 soldiers and horses. Liyi and Han Qiong sat in the border areas of Jizhou and Bingzhou, and Tian Feng was the military advisor. Han Meng and Xu You led their troops to Youzhou to contain Gongsun Du of Liaodong. Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, and Jiang Qi stayed in Yecheng. ”
