Therefore, now Yuan Shao can only rely on himself, because Han Fu, who has taken refuge in him, has unfortunately died in battle on the way to Jizhou City, and most of his 20,000 military horses have now been killed, because, on the way to Jizhou City, it is always Han Fu's military horses who charge into battle.

By the time Yuan's army attacked Guangchuan, there were more than 30,000 military horses left, and the original 50,000 army had lost more than 20,000 people, including more than 14,000 Han Fu military horses.

Although Yuan Shao has generals under him at the moment, such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chun Yuqiong, Gao Ran and others, Wen also has Xu You, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others.

But the current situation is that there is a shortage of men and horses, lack of grain and grass, it is really in response to an old saying, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful Xu Yu is, it is difficult to conjure up grain and grass for the 30,000 army to eat and drink at this time, no matter how high the force value of Yan Liang and Wen Chou is, it is difficult to command a group of hungry people to win every big battle.

Now Yuan Shao really has the ability to do it, but who can he blame? At the beginning, he did not listen to Xu You's schemes, but calmed down to stabilize the internal affairs, first rested and recuperated, and at the same time raised the people's prestige and gathered some food in order to plan for the future.

But he wanted to force the war, Yuan Shao thought that in such a serious internal situation, with a 'lightning' quick battle, the result was quickly Gongsun Zhan, one to occupy the city of Jizhou, and at the same time to win back the popularity of the people in the Bohai Sea, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

But Yuan Shao never thought that Gongsun Chan would have such a strong combat effectiveness, and he didn't expect that Gongsun Chan would choose to fight to the death, instead of fleeing quickly with the remnants of soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao and Han Fu led the 50,000 army, along the way with Gongsun Chan and occupied and advanced, and it was difficult to fight to Guangchuan.

The result was that Han Fu died in battle, 50,000 troops were killed and wounded, and in the end only 30,000 troops remained, and these 30,000 troops also counted those disabled soldiers, if you only count the military courage who can go to the battlefield to fight, Yuan Shao should have less than 25,000 people left.

If more than 25,000 people are used to attack Jizhou City with all their might, there may still be hope of capturing the city, because, after all, there are less than 10,000 people left in Gongsun Zhan's defending army, although these soldiers and horses concentrate all the elites of Gongsun Zhan.

However, Jizhou City is a besieged city after all, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have no way to retreat, because their food can no longer last for a few days, and if they can't beat Jizhou City, Yuan Shao's army may not even have enough food to retreat back to the Bohai Sea.

Not to mention that on the way to withdraw the troops, he was pursued by Gongsun Chan again, so at this time, Yuan Shao had to start a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan, whether the two sides wanted it or not, this decisive battle would come sooner or later, and this decisive battle would be extremely difficult for anyone.

In the barracks, Yuan Shao has not slept well for two days and two nights, because bad news has been transmitted into the camp tent from time to time, and Xu Yu and Fu Zhu beside him have no better strategy, Tian Feng had a big quarrel with Yuan Shao after returning from his last visit to Youzhou, and was locked up in the Bohai Sea by Yuan Shao, and did not go out with Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao also has one less strategist and one less idea, and now there is only one way to go in front of Yuan Shao, that is, to gather the army and go all out to attack Jizhou City.

Although Xu You has seen through the current situation, his words can no longer move Yuan Shao, because Xu You's proposition is to withdraw his troops immediately and return to the Bohai Sea to defend it, in exchange for a chance to land smoothly, and he will try to achieve great things again in the future, because this is an ill-prepared expedition to the west, and this expedition is not Xu You's strategy.

But Yuan Shao didn't think so, and neither did Fu Zhu, Fu Zhu was a belligerent, and Fu Zhu advocated a quick victory, not delay, and should have advanced to Jizhou City a long time ago, instead of staying in Guangchuan and waiting for Yuan Shu's reinforcements.

And Yuan Shao's mood at the moment is more complicated, and now two ideas appear in front of him, whether to follow Xu You's strategy and retreat towards the Bohai Sea, or to obey the strategy of Frustration, quickly advance towards Jizhou City, and start a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan.

Two paths, two choices, two completely different results, Yuan Shao is in trouble at the moment, Yuan Shao is a character, and he is also a wise person, but no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he makes difficulties, and when this person is in great danger, he is even more prone to lose himself.

Now Yuan Shao is such a person, his mood is becoming more and more complicated at the moment, he wants to attack Jizhou City with all his strength, if he wins this last battle, the previous effort will be worth it, and Han Fu's death will be worth it.

And the entire Jizhou will also become his own territory, the popularity of the people in Bohai County will also be sublimated to another level, and the crisis of trust in Bohai County will also be resolved a lot, which will promote the foundation of Yuan Shao's governance, and this idea is the idea of frustration.

The other way is to stop here, pack up and 'return to the court', return to the Bohai Sea to recover his vitality, wait for a more suitable time, and attack Jizhou again, this road is also a safe plan, but for Yuan Shao, who is now eager to develop and grow, it is inevitably a little too aggrieved.

In the end, Yuan Shao was still unsure about which way to choose, and Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou also had no other ideas, they were used to obeying Yuan Shao's orders, and they would fight wherever Yuan Shao pointed out, they were a good combat general, but they were not very good strategists.

And when Yuan Shao was undecided, Yuan Shao's best friend, General Chun Yuqiong, also came to Yuan Shao's camp to give advice to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao still trusts Chun Yuqiong, because when this person took refuge in Yuan Shao, he also joined Yuan Shao's team when Yuan Shao was more difficult, and when the Western Expedition Alliance collapsed, when Yuan Shao was in a dilemma, Chun Yuqiong's addition finally contributed to Yuan Shao's return, and also indirectly saved Liu Jing and Cao Cao, and ensured the victory of the Luoyang Guard.

And when Yuan Shao was hesitating, Chun Yuqiong's arrival just catered to Yuan Shao's mentality of seeking advice, Yuan Shao asked Chun Yuqiong to sit down, and asked urgently: "Zhong Jian, you came at the right time, I have a terrible headache, you came just in time, hurry up and solve problems for my brother!" ”

Chun Yuqiong's eyes lit up, and he hugged his hands and said: "I am dissatisfied with Brother Benchu, I came this time, it is for this matter, our army is stationed in Guangchuan to wait for reinforcements, my heart is also very anxious, I can't eat in the past two days, I can't sleep, I finally can't hold back, I just came to talk to Brother Benchu!" ”
