Yecheng - General's Mansion - On the lobby!

Yuan Shao was draped all over his body, holding a sword in his hand, sitting on the main seat, his handsome face was cloudy, black like the bottom of a pot, and there was a cowhide map in front of him, marking the situation in Hebei, which could only be described in four words - miserable!

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials all over the world, since the coalition army crusaded against Dong Zhuo, first took Jizhou by fraud, and then dominated Hebei, with sufficient money and food, many civil and military forces, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, in terms of overall strength, the crown of all princes, is a veritable overlord of the world!

It's a pity - the way of heaven is impermanent, the situation is reversed, in the past year or so, the Yuan army was defeated in Qingzhou first, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then sent troops to Liangzhou, and suffered a fiasco again, the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed, the strategist Fengji was captured, more than 100,000 people were killed and wounded, the people cried day and night, Yuan's prestige plummeted, and the position of the overlord was shaky!

What's more serious is that in addition to the loss of soldiers, but also consumed a large amount of ordnance, money and food, in order to support the battle of Xiliang, the Yuan family forcibly requisitioned more than 300,000 people, day and night non-stop transportation of materials, thousands of miles of long distances, extremely difficult, tired to death tens of thousands of people, the people are innumerable!

The Black Mountain Yellow Turban was able to succeed and quickly swept through several counties, which has a lot to do with the tyranny of the Yuan family, and the people have no way to live anyway, so it is better to follow the rebellion, maybe there is a glimmer of life!

Take a look at the situation on the map, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro is in turmoil, occupying Changshan and Zhongshan counties, and is storming Julu City, once this place is missed, these 'locusts' will sweep the south of Jizhou, and Yuan's lair - Yecheng will also be threatened!

Recently, there was a 'Chishui Yellow Turban' in Bingzhou, seizing the city, guerrilla attacks everywhere, the Shangdang guards Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang lost their lives, and the assassin Shi-Gao Gan sent troops to crusade several times, but failed to extinguish the other party, but even suffered defeats, making it embarrassing!

There is also the Central Plains, taking advantage of the civil strife in Hebei, Cao Cao dispatched 100,000 heavy troops, with Xiahoudun as the general of the expedition to the north, stationed in Guandu, and looked at the land of the four states, which made people worry and not be at peace day and night!

In addition, Youzhou Thorn Shi - Yuan Xi sent a military report, the Huns outside the Sai also moved, since the second king - Zhao Lang dispatched tens of thousands of iron horses, along the border constantly around, it seems that there is a southward meaning, the Great Wall garrison lit the wolf smoke, day and night on guard, in case of accidents!

Today's Yuan Group is like a huge ship leaking everywhere, with the intention of rescuing and repairing, but I don't know how to start, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that there is a danger of sinking!

"The situation is in crisis, there is no time to delay, if you don't do anything, there is no place for Yuan's death, what are your good plans, I hope to teach me, thank you at the beginning!"

Yuan Shao is scheming for no reason, wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, selfish and ......strong, and has many shortcomings, but he is not a fool, when he is living and dying, he finally put down his shelf and humbly asks the civil and military about it!

"The child is not talented, I am willing to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to go out to exterminate the Yellow Turban of Montenegro in one fell swoop, and then resist the Huns in the north and Cao Cao in the south to ensure that Hebei is safe and sound, and I can share my father's worries!"

The third son, Yuan Shang, stood up, raised his handsome little face, his sword eyebrows were high, his instrument was lofty, and his words were domineering......

It's a pity, after Yuan Shang finished speaking, the hall was silent, a group of civil and military generals, some looked up at the sky, some looked down at the ground, and some squinted their eyes and pretended to be asleep, none of them shouted and cheered, even Yuan Shao was silent, just waved his hand, signaling his son to retreat, don't be embarrassed!

The battle of Xiliang made everyone see one thing clearly, the third prince Yuan Shang is an embroidered pillow, with a bright appearance, a belly of straw bags, if he is allowed to lead the army to go out, it will inevitably be a big thing, how much to lose, even the general Yuan Shao is shaken, no matter how big his family business is, he can't help but be a loser son!

"Since ancient times, the outside must first be safe, the Cao army sent troops to cross, but it was just a bluff, the eldest prince Yuan Tan commanded 100,000 troops to guard, but it can be safe, the top priority, immediately rescue the giant deer, level the Yellow Turban of Black Mountain, the internal troubles are eliminated, and the foreign enemy retreats!"

With the strength of the Hebei group, as long as the internal stability is stabilized, whether it is the Xiongnu in the north or Cao Cao in the south, there is no need to worry!

"First get rid of internal troubles, and then calm the foreign thieves, but it's the best policy, but Hebei has been fighting for many years, and the loss of strength is huge, and if you want to send troops to fight against the Yellow Turban, I'm afraid that you have more than enough heart and not enough strength!"

Fu Zhu also stood up and raised one of the biggest problems: how to send troops to fight if there is a shortage of soldiers, food, and ordnance?

The Yuan clan sits on the land of Sizhou, with more than 400,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and his strength is strong, so it stands to reason that this situation will not occur, but the problem is that although there are many soldiers and horses, the territory is also large, and the enemy is fed on all sides, and he has been defeated in a row, and he can't draw mobile troops at all!

The eldest prince Yuan Tan failed in a sneak attack on Xuzhou, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and was captured alive, although he was released, Yuan Shao also tried his best to suppress the matter out of face problems, but everyone knew in their hearts that this was a complete defeat!

Immediately afterwards, the third prince Yuan Shang went to Xiliang, and the 150,000 army was defeated, less than 30,000 fled back, and the rest all became white bones and stayed in the Hexi Corridor!

After the two defeats, the Yuan army lost as many as 150,000 troops, which can be said to be broken, and what is even more depressing is that the two defeats were all folded in one person, and the 'ghost face Xiao Lang' is really the nemesis of the Yuan family!

The rest of the army, Yuan Xi commanded 50,000 troops, guarded against the Huns in the north, Gao Gan commanded 50,000 troops, and was suppressing the civil rebellion in the state, Yuan Tan commanded 100,000 troops, stationed along the Yellow River, to prevent Cao's army from sneak attack, it was really impossible to draw a single soldier!

After such a discount, the Yuan army only has 70,000 or 80,000 troops left, all of which are stationed near Yecheng, responsible for the safety of the lair, and they dare not use it easily, and they have no spare strength to conquer the Yellow Turban Army!

Besides, even if people and horses are forcibly dispatched to the expedition, where will the ordnance, grain and grass come from, the people of Jizhou have already been forced to rebel, and if they want to squeeze it again, the people of the other three states will inevitably rebel, and when the time comes, the world will be in chaos, and the Yuan family will be doomed!

Thinking of this, there was silence in the hall, the people here are all upper-class magnates, once the Hebei Group collapsed, their fate can be imagined, even for their own lives, they have to work together to tide over the difficulties!

"Don't worry, my lord, we still have 100,000 troops that haven't been used, but it's a bit troublesome to pull them out, and we still need the help of my colleagues!"

After half a ring, Hebei's first strategist-Tian Feng stood up, his teeth clenched, and his face was resolute, as if he was planning a big thing!

"Where are the soldiers and horses, Mr. Yuan Hao said, as long as the situation can be stabilized, the general will obey his words, and there will be high-ranking officials who will reward him, and he will never lose his word!"

The situation is in crisis, in order to keep the family business, Yuan Shao rarely accepted the advice once, and promised a heavy reward, because he had bad credit, and deliberately added a layer of guarantee, which can be regarded as well-intentioned!

"The subordinates are bent on the hegemony of the lord, and do not ask for a reward, as for the 100,000 army, it is in Yecheng!"

Tian Feng's words were amazing, and all the civil and military officers looked at each other, I don't know where the soldiers and horses came, only a few people were a little thoughtful, but they were embarrassed, obviously they also thought of something, but they didn't dare to say it!

"Yecheng is the largest giant in the world, inhabited by a large number of scholars, gatekeepers, and heroes, and in the mansions of these people, there are a large number of doormen, guards, servants, tenants, ......, as few as hundreds, as many as thousands, and with complete armor and proficient in martial arts, if they are gathered, it is enough to form an army of 100,000!

In addition, the clan gate lord has a lot of money, and there is no problem in donating some money and food, so there are soldiers and horses, ordnance, money and food, and then appoint a general to lead the Yellow Turban Army, which is just around the corner! ”

After talking about his strategy, Tian Feng was not proud, but a face of defeat, this strategy can save the crisis in Hebei, and in the same way, it will also offend the gate lord clan, this is to dig meat from them, and the ensuing strong revenge will have to be borne by himself!

The plan of borrowing soldiers and food, the rest of the strategists also thought of it, but no one dared to say it, the clan gate lords are powerful, once they offend them, there will be no good end, besides, many of the civil and military officials in the lobby are from the scholar clan, and Tian Feng's plan is equivalent to committing public anger!

"This plan is very good, Mr. Yuan Hao is really a loyal minister, since this is the case, if you don't bother the two masters, Mr. will come forward to persuade the lords of the family to hand over the soldiers, horses, money and food, and tide over the difficulties together!"

Yuan Shao, as the first gate valve in the world, naturally knows the temperament of the scholars, forgetting righteousness when he sees profit, has no discipline at all, and his heart is blacker than the bottom of the pot, borrowing soldiers, horses, money and food from them is not an easy thing, even if it is done, it will offend a large group of people!

Now Tian Feng offered a plan, pushed the boat down the river, let him deal with the gate valve of the Shi clan, and the benefits were obtained by himself, and the black pot let him carry it, which is really a double win!

"No...... The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the bones are broken, and there is no hesitation! ”

Tian Feng clenched his fists with both hands, as a strategist, everything is focused on the great cause of the lord, knowing that there is a fire pit in front of him, he has to jump down!

Soldiers and horses, ordnance, money and food are available, the next step is to choose a general, as the so-called: 'a general is incompetent, tired of a thousand troops', if you send a waste commander, no matter how many soldiers and horses are in vain!

Since Yan Liang and Wen Chou died on the battlefield, the army has been based on Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran, plus the newly rising Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong, and is known as the 'Four Famous Generals of Hebei', but Gao Ran is in Youzhou, guarding against the invasion of the Huns, Chun Yuqiong is stationed in Liyang, guarding against Cao Bing going north, and the remaining two are in Yecheng to listen!

"Pass on my military order: with Zhang Jaw as the main general, Jiang Qi as the deputy general, and Yuan Shang as the supervising army, he will lead the men and horses, choose the day to go on the expedition, and wipe out the Yellow Turban thieves in one fell swoop!"

After a little thought, Yuan Shao handed over the military power to Zhang He and Jiang Qi, the two of them commanded the army all the year round and could fight well, but they were suitable candidates, and as for letting Yuan Shang supervise the army, it was his selfishness1

The son is no longer angry, after all, he is his own son, let Yuan Shang go out with the army, it is better to mix up some credit, save some face, in case of defeat, naturally someone will take responsibility, and he will not be blamed!

After thinking about it so carefully, Yuan Shao can be regarded as well-intentioned, but he forgot a famous saying...... "A mouse feces can spoil a pot of soup!" ”
