Liu Yi's fierce offensive on the whole front lasted for three days, when the Youzhou army's offensive weakened, almost all the defenders in the city were relieved, but although Bohai did not receive any attack from the other party, but Yuan Shao and a strategist could not be relaxed, at this time they already understood why Liu Yi had such a fierce attack regardless of the cost, the news of the fall of Jigu was like a bolt from the blue to them, it was reported that this enemy army that went deep into their territory to carry out a surprise attack was led by Youzhou general Gan Ning, The number of people should be around 20,000, how such a scale of people and horses passed through the Jizhou defense line unknowingly, this is incomprehensible.

"Now that Jigu has fallen, most of our army's grain stocks have been destroyed, but I still don't know how Gan Xingba got here, Liu Yi's use of troops has always been strange, this situation is extremely unfavorable to our army, I don't know if you can deal with it?" At this time, Yuan Shao was of course restless in his heart, but he also knew that this matter had caused turmoil among his subordinates, and if he showed it again, it would only benefit the enemy, so the expression on his face still seemed quite calm, and he was a figure who had been in the late Han Dynasty for a long time.

A group of strategists also fell into contemplation at this time, Liu Yi's hand before the battle no one expected, although according to the military situation shows that Gan Xingba is not in the military column of this attack on Jizhou, but this may not be Liu Yi's hidden killer, they have been careful to guard against this, but people's thinking has the limitations of the times, and now no one would have thought that Liu Yi would choose the sea route as the breakthrough point of the battle of Jizhou, when Lang Sheng put forward this idea, the play, Jia, and Guo were also unable to accept it for a while, After all kinds of verification, this strategy was agreed.

Of course, even if Liu Yi's vision is ahead, this cross-sea move is still very risky, but under careful preparation and the beauty of the heavens, the surprise attack strategy can be described as an unprecedented success, if this is regarded as a gamble, Liu Yi won, and now he is tasting the fruits of victory, and the destruction of grain and grass in Jigu is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle for Jizhou. On that day, Tian Feng formulated a strategy of sticking to the city, and hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in each key city, and now it must be enough to support March, and it will not be overstretched for the time being, but at that time, they all estimated that it was impossible to take a siege strategy with Liu Yi's troops, at most it was just a confrontation, so that the supply could be carried out halfway, and this was indeed the case, but in the current situation, it was impossible to supply halfway, and it was inevitable to respond.

It's not impossible to continue to hold on, but if Liu Yi doesn't move his troops and fights Jizhou against grain and grass, coupled with the attack and harassment of Gan Ning's department, once the cities are short of food, the army's morale will be chaotic, and then I am afraid that the Youzhou army will not have to pay much to take the strong city, in that case, just sit and wait to die! If it is difficult to continue the sticking strategy, the Jizhou army can only try to take the initiative to repel Liu Yi's offensive, but in this way, although the offensive and defensive momentum is reversed, the first move was snatched by Liu Yi.

It is easy to take the initiative to attack, but regardless of the combat strength or mobility, the Youzhou army is undoubtedly standing on the upper hand, Jizhou's biggest advantage is the geographical advantage, and this point has also been weakened a lot due to the existence of Tian'er, that day has been accidentally Xu Huang benefited from Liyang City, and now Zhao Yun's iron cavalry battalion is parading around the cities, wanting to find the Jizhou cavalry for a decisive battle, in the case of inferior troops, Jizhou is never willing to see this situation, but wants to attack the Youzhou army, The biggest problem in front of everyone is the cavalry army under Zhao Yun.

"Lord, now the situation is unfavorable to our army, Liu Yi's hand can be described as ruthless, if the long-term battle is not successful, you must take the initiative to attack, there is no trace of Liu Yi's army under the first Ye City, you can let the third prince lead 30,000 to converge Yan Liangwen Chou and Xiahou Yuan's troops to Liyang, threaten Xu Huang's flank, and then respond with General Liyang Gao, looking for an opportunity to break it, after all, at this time, Liu Yi's main force is all under Nanpi City, Xu Gongming is known as 100,000 horses, I expect that there will be no such number, and it is also a bluff to think about it, otherwise where will there be so many horses and horses in Youzhou, As long as our army gathers a group and advances steadily, it can be reported without worry, as long as it can repel Xu Huang, it will be able to reverse the situation slightly! After being silent for a long time, Guo Tu first said, no matter how open-minded this person is, but he does have a plan, this kind of use of troops is a safe way to deal with it at present.

"The public rule is feasible, but the cost of food and grass for our army to take the initiative to attack will definitely increase, if Xu Huang avoids and does not fight, and then let Zhao Yun find an opportunity to raid our army, I don't know how to deal with it?" Hearing this, Tian Feng asked, Guo Tu's idea is indeed feasible in the current situation, but it still needs to be planned clearly, otherwise it will be easy to be counted by the enemy, and his sincere tone also shows his attitude, just to discuss this matter.

"I also know that it is quite risky to give up the benefits of the fortified city and seek war, but at this time our army wants to reverse the situation This risk is still worth taking, as I said before, as long as the army of the third prince and the cavalry cooperate closely, even Zhao Yun may not have a chance, if Xu Gongming really consumes our army's food and grass with the strategy of avoiding war, the lord can order the third prince to turn to kill the territory of Youzhou, this time Liu Yi's army is out, I don't believe that there are still soldiers who can resist our army, he can draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, I can also attack it!" After fighting for a long time, Guo Tu also knew Tian Feng's temperament very well, and said at the moment that at this time, the survival of Jizhou was at stake, and he also had less intrigue, and this alone he would be better than Xu You.

"Good! The public is really brave and knowledgeable, lord, this plan is feasible! Tian Feng heard that Guo Tu was unprepared and bluntly said that even if his eyes lit up, as Yuan Shao's number one adviser, his style was similar to Zhang Hu, and everything was safe when the overall situation was concerned, but when the situation was pressing, he would not stick to the rules, Guo Tu's words dispelled the concerns in his heart, and of course he had to fully support it.

Guo Tu glanced at Tian Feng quite knowingly, Yuan Hao smiled, no matter how much he fought for power and profit in the past, but now due to the arrival of Gan Ning, the situation in Jizhou is already dangerous, and the situation forces them to work together, but Yuan Shao pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked again.

"If according to the public rules, Xu Huang will attack Youzhou if he avoids the battle, but if the enemy army lures the enemy into the depths, Zhao Yun's iron cavalry battalion will attack with all his might, and Xu Huang can lead the army to block the retreat of our army, and the geographical advantage of our army will be lost under Liu Yi's leadership, and the army will not be in danger?"

"Lord, if this is the case, Jizhou will be less restrained by the other horse, if he wants to deal with the third prince must gather superior forces, Jizhou will be weakened under the elimination of the other, then it is the time for the lord to pour the power of Jizhou and its decisive battle, although I don't know how Liu Yi can let Gan Ning attack Jigu, but he is also afraid that the military strength of Youzhou will be too much, and there is no advantage of cavalry for a decisive battle, our army will not be afraid of it, the lord should not forget, Liu Yi always has to take care of Cao Cao in Yanzhou, as long as our army puts on a desperate momentum, I don't think he will dare to fight our army in a decisive battle! Guo Tu's words were only half of what he said, the reason why Jizhou was reluctant to fight with it at the beginning was because of the cavalry that had an absolute advantage in Youzhou, and if Zhao Yun was not there, the outcome may not be known, at least the side with an advantage in mentality was unwilling to take the initiative to carry out a decisive battle, and Liu Yi still had constraints.

"Lord, the words of the public rule are extreme, Xianfeng also feels that Xu Huang will never avoid the battle, our army in Liyang has an advantage in strength, if necessary, even if Yecheng abandons not to exhaust the whole army, Xu Huang will be defeated, and the two places in the south of the Qinghe River can also contain Zhao Zilong's iron cavalry battalion, if he really gallops to the aid of Xu Huang, General Gao Lan can also come out of the Qinghe River and take the initiative to attack!" Tian Feng said again and again, although the victory or defeat is unpredictable, but it is too much better than sitting still, and the opportunity looms at any time in such a fierce battle, and Jizhou's geographical advantages can be maximized.

"In this case, a certain will fight to the death with Lang Sheng, and send an order to let Xian Zhengnan and Shang'er go together, and the military order can be raised when the army is ready!" Yuan Shao no longer hesitated at this time, and said categorically.
