sent Yuan Shang away, and Yuan Shao asked all the staff and generals in Yecheng to be invited to the front hall.

In the front hall, Yuan Shao sat on the head, and on both sides sat the people under his command.

"I let Xianfu go to Xudu." Yuan Shao said to everyone: "I was going to take Fang'er back, but I didn't expect Cao Zirong to refuse. It seems that the Cao family already has a covetous heart for our Yuan family. ”

"Yuan Gong Mingjian." Guo Tu stood up and said: "Cao Cao has been fighting everywhere in recent years, he first captured Wancheng, and then captured Xuzhou, Hanoi, Hedong and other places, and now the Cao family is in full swing, and if it is not suppressed, it will definitely be unfavorable to Hebei." ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and nodded.

Frustrated, he got up and said, "I feel that if we don't start a war with the Cao family, they can't do anything. ”

His brows furrowed slightly, and Yuan Shao did not say anything.

But everyone's eyes fell on Fu Zhi.

"Hebei is in the hands of Yuan Gong, and Qingzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places are all under the control of the Yuan family." Frustrated professor said: "In terms of military strength, Cao Cao is not as good as Yuan Gong, if Yuan Gong does not use troops easily, how dare he pick quarrels and provoke trouble first?" ”

"What do you think I should do?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Yuan Gongxin has recently defeated Gongsun Zhan, which can make people ask His Majesty for credit." Fu Zhu said: "If Cao Cao does not stop him, he will definitely have to give Yuan Gong more rewards." If he prevents Yuan Gong from sending people to meet His Majesty, it is justified to use troops against him again. ”

"What do you think?" Yuan Shao asked the others in the room.

"I don't think it's necessary." Feng Ji stood up and talked eloquently: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, even if he gave Yuan Gong a reward, how much can he give?" With Cao Cao's temperament, it may be even more difficult to prevent him from sending people to meet with Yuan Gong. If Duke Yuan does that, and Cao Cao agrees to the envoy to meet His Majesty, our Yuan family will not have the slightest reason to use troops again. ”

"It's better not to use soldiers." Tian Feng said: "The army is stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, and often sends men and horses to attack and harass, first make Cao Cao anxious, and then start a decisive battle with him in two or three years, after full preparation, the Yuan family will have a greater chance of victory." ”

"I don't agree with Yuan Hao's words." Feng Ji said: "Yuan Gongxin recently broke through Gongsun Zhan, and the morale of the soldiers is high. The number of our army is far greater than that of Cao's army, and when the two sides go to war, how can our army's advantage be comparable to Cao Cao's? Wouldn't it be stupid to wait until two or three years later to give Cao Cao a chance to develop and grow? ”

"Yuan Gong!" Tian Feng hugged his fists and said to Yuan Shao: "Don't send troops, although our army has the advantage, Cao Cao is not an idle person." He is definitely not comparable to Gongsun Zan and his ilk, and when he started a war with Cao Cao, he asked Yuan Gong to think twice. ”

"I've figured it out." Yuan Shao said: "Order the three armies, get ready, and attack the Cao family." ”

Looking at the person sitting in the hall, Yuan Shao said, "Chen Lin, I'll leave the text to you to draft." ”

Chen Lin got up and responded.

Tian Feng said: "Yuan Gong, to provoke the Cao family at this time is to kill yourself......

"Yuan Hao doesn't need to say it anymore." Yuan Shao said: "I have made up my mind, so I have decided." ”

"If Yuan Gong insists on using soldiers, please kill him first!" Tian Feng said: "I can't bear to watch Yuan Gong become a prisoner, and I don't want to see Hebei return to others. ”

"Yuan Hao, you've gone a little too far!" Yuan Shao's face was not very good.

"Yuan Gong is dead, I can't persuade him, what else can I do?" Tian Feng said: "When I first joined Yuan Gong, I just heard that Yuan Gong was a hero in the world, but I didn't expect it to be such a short-sighted person. ”

"Tian Yuanhao, what do you mean?" The judge stood up and shouted angrily at Tian Feng and said: "Yuan Gong has Yuan Gong's considerations, you are just a staff member, and you dare to contradict ...... in public."

"Judging the South." Glaring angrily at the trial, Tian Feng shouted: "If Hebei is going to die, it is the sin of you sycophants!" ”

"Enough!" Yuan Shao finally wielded the crossbow, but he still maintained restraint and said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao doesn't need to say it anymore, I won't hold you accountable......"

"It's better for Yuan Gong to hold me accountable!" Yuan Shao planned to leave a way back for Tian Feng, but he didn't know that Tian Feng was not interested, he tilted his chin and said proudly: "If Yuan Gong kills me, please hang my head at the gate of Yecheng, I want to see with my own eyes how Cao Jun broke through Yecheng, snatched Yuan Gong's territory, and then plundered Yuan Gong's family." ”

"Tian Yuanhao!" Yuan Shao slapped the table and stood up, glared at Tian Feng angrily and shouted, "You deceive me too much!" ”

Tian Feng also stared at each other with Yuan Shao.

Everyone present lowered their heads, including the judges, and none of them dared to say more.

"I won't kill you either!" He Tian Feng looked at each other for a long time, and Yuan Shao said: "Just put you in prison, let you see how I attacked Cao Cao!" ”

"Someone!" He snorted.

Two guards stepped forward.

Yuan Shao said: "Put Tian Feng in prison for me!" Give him good food and drink, and let him see how my Hebei army crisscrosses the Central Plains! ”

The guard stepped forward and grabbed Tian Feng.

When he was dragged out by the guards, Tian Feng still shouted: "Yuan Gong, you are bringing about your own destruction, sooner or later you will know that it is really stupid to send troops now." ”

Yuan Shao had a cold face, and he didn't say a word until Tian Feng was dragged out.

"Yuan Gong ......" After a long time, Guo Tu tentatively called him.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and said to everyone: "I was confused by Tian Yuanhao, don't care, don't care, let's continue to discuss how to use soldiers against the Cao family." ”

Yuan Shao's face improved slightly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking his seat, Yuan Shao said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, you have also had a confrontation with the Cao family, you should be very familiar with them, once the war starts, you will go to the Yellow River with General Wenchou and prepare to capture Yanjin." ”

"I will die for Yuan Gong." Liu Bei got up and clenched his fists.

Glancing at him meaningfully, Yuan Shao said: "The order is Xiansi, asking him to use the Qingzhou army and be ready to respond at any time." ”

"Duke Yuan, the eldest son is fighting against Zang Ba in Qingzhou." Guo Tu reminded in a low voice: "A few days ago, Zang Ba suddenly sent troops to seize Qidi, and now he is still approaching the hinterland of Qingzhou, and the eldest son is fighting very hard. ”

"Zang Ba?" Yuan Shao frowned and said: "It is said that he voted for Cao Cao, but now he suddenly sent troops to Qingzhou, do you say that it is Cao Cao's order?" ”

"Who else but Cao Cao?" The judge said: "Yuan Gong hasn't done it yet, but they have launched a challenge first. ”

"Raise food and grass as soon as possible, and the army is ready to go on the march." Yuan Shao stood up and said to everyone in the hall: "Cao Cao is rude, dare to attack our army first, how can I tolerate him?" ”

Tian Feng was arrested, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone got up to receive the order, and he had to stand up with him.

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Do your duty, prepare as soon as possible!" ”
