Zhou Yu is not the only one who hopes that Yuan Shu can win, Han Jun, who is hiding behind the scenes and leading the planning of this matter, naturally hopes that Yuan Highway, who is very talented and talented, can have the last laugh in this war that is about to come.

Therefore, under the premise that Yuan Shu took the initiative to give up the post of general and handed over the appointment and dismissal rights of the officials of Qing, You, and Sili, Han Jun didn't mind helping him.

Zhang Yan's 20,000 troops joined the state of iron cavalry, out of the Kei Pass, and the sword pointed directly at Chen Liu.

Sun Ce did not move, but Han Jun helped him, which greatly surprised Yuan Shu's expectations. What surprised him even more was that Yuan Shao, who had always been-for-tat with him, also agreed to send troops.

At this time, Yuan Shao, under Han Jun's repeated blows, was already a little sad at the end of the road. The withering of the military under his command and the situation of the people fleeing under his rule made Yuan Shao helpless, and even began to doubt himself.

Although the Yuan brothers hate each other, the two actually have a lot in common. For example, their innate arrogance, and for example, their pursuit of quality of life. Yang Hong originally thought that Yuan Shu's mansion was luxurious enough, but he didn't expect that the state pastor's mansion in Yecheng was not much inferior to the Great General's Mansion in Wancheng, and even surpassed it in some aspects.

Kneeling tremblingly in front of Yuan Shao, Yang Hong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although there is discord between the original prince and the lord of my family, after all, they are close relatives of flesh and blood, and they are connected by blood. ”

Yuan Shaohe sneered: "I'm used now, do you remember that I'm his brother?" Why did you go before? He Yuan Highway coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he proclaimed himself a general, and he could not fly high and domineering for a day! And have you ever thought about how my brother feels? ”

Yang Hong said with a dry smile: "My lord knows that he is ashamed and uneasy, so he specially entered the palace to ask for his life, and in front of the Son of Heaven, he tried to show the virtue and political conduct of the original prince, and persuaded the Son of Heaven to crown the original prince as the Situ of the Great Han Dynasty, and the marquis of Yang Zhai and 3,000 households. The Yuan family has one family, one life, two and three dukes, which is really a good story in the world! ”

"Situ?"

Yuan Shao snorted, waved his hand dissatisfied, and said: "Reply to your lord, just say that I, Yuan Shao, am shallow, and it is difficult to take on this important task, so I dare not take the order, please choose another meritocracy!" ”

Yang Hong nodded with embarrassment, shook his head again, and was at a loss for a while.

Xu You said with a smile: "Yang Changshi has worked hard from afar, and he has been bumpy all the way, so he must be a little tired, right?" My father-in-law has ordered someone to prepare food and drinks......"

Yang Hong hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "This is very good, thank you for the hospitality." ”

"Ziyuan, what does this mean?"

Seeing Yang Hong trotting out of the conference hall, Yuan Shao looked at Xu You in confusion and asked.

Xu Yu Zhengse asked, "If I'm not mistaken, is the lord planning to stand still?" ”

Yuan Shao nodded with a solemn expression, "I have a very good relationship with Meng De, and I have an alliance covenant, if I break the contract and attack because of the confusion of the officials, I am afraid that the world will despise it." ”

Xu You sneered: "When Cao Mengde slaughtered tens of thousands of Xuzhou creatures, did he pay attention to the opinions of the people of the world? When Han Boyan wielded a butcher's knife in Northern Xinjiang, did he pay attention to the opinions of people in the world? When Yuan Highway hijacked the Son of Heaven to disrupt the government and harm the people, did he pay attention to the opinions of the people of the world? Success and defeat have been the same since ancient times, if the lord can't be ruthless, he will be harmed by ruthless people one day! Now that Jizhou has reached the autumn of life and death, if you don't work hard, how can you resist the Youyan Iron Rider Lord under Han Boyan? ”

Xu You's words, like a sharp blade, stabbed into Yuan Shao's heart, making his face blue and red for a while, but there was no way to refute it, he could only grit his teeth and stare at Xu You, wishing that he could eat others raw to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Xu You also let go, and continued regardless of it: "The lord knows that now in several counties in Jizhou, five or six out of ten people have fled north, and two or three out of ten have died in famine. If this continues, in less than a year, Jizhou will no longer have any soldiers to fight and food to use! Have you ever thought about it, when the day comes, where will you go? ”

"Shut up! You shut up! ”

Yuan Shao roared and threw all the things placed on the case to the ground, his face was hideous, and his beard was all open, where did he still look like Yuan Benchu, who paid the most attention to appearance and demeanor on weekdays.

"Ziyuan's words are fallacious!"

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng who opened his mouth expectantly like a helpless child, hoping that this most upright courtier would give him a different answer.

Tian Feng ignored Xu Youhu's suspicious gaze, but said calmly: "Ziyuan thinks that Han Boyan will always stand still and wait for that day to come?" According to common sense, if Han Boyan exerts all his strength, all the way out of Changshan and Pingchuan, all the way out of the Bohai Sea, all the way out of Huguan condescendingly, all the way out of Hanoi down the river, all the way downstream, if there is no accident, within one month, the whole territory of Jizhou will be annexed, and the land of Hebei will be unified. But why didn't he send troops for a long time? It's not that the time is not right, but he needs such a buffer to avoid a direct collision with Cao Mengde! ”

"One more point!"

Xu You understood and echoed loudly: "Han Boyan cherishes the people's power and can't bear to be reckless, so after every big battle, he will stop fighting and recuperate for a period of time. Last year, there was a severe drought in Hebei, grain production was reduced, and the civilian stocks of the two states were almost exhausted, coupled with the influx of refugees, resulting in the inability of the Youhe army to go south due to the lack of grain and grass, and Han Boyan also had to spend a lot of money and goods to transport grain and grass to the south for disaster relief. But as the so-called Ruixue Mega Year, if there is no accident, after this year's summer harvest, the soldiers and the well-fed army will be overwhelming, and how will the lord deal with it? ”

Yuan Shao suddenly calmed down, and all the anger disappeared, leaving only a bead of sweat the size of a bean on his forehead.

yes, how do you deal with it? Thinking that Han Jun only had thousands of soldiers and horses under his command back then, he couldn't help him, but now that Han Jun has full wings and the climate has become a success, is it still possible for him to defeat him?

Yuan Shao didn't know that there were not many people left under his rule, and he wouldn't know that since Yan Liang died in battle, the morale of his soldiers and horses has plummeted. It's just that he is unwilling and does not dare to face it, so he is guilty of selective blindness. But today, Xu You and Tian Feng risked their lives to unveil the veil that was blocking his eyes, so that he had to stand up and bear all this.

After being silent for a long time, Yuan Shao spoke jerkily and woodenly, "Then according to your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Tian and Xu glanced at each other, and they both saw the determination of putting death to life in each other's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Tian Feng slowly spoke: "Unite with Yuan Shu, go south to attack Cao, look for opportunities, occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains, fight hard, and then use the Yellow River to fight to the death with the Youhe army!" ”

Yuan Shao gasped and asked again: "Then in this battle, is our army sure of victory?" ”

Xu Yu nodded heavily, "There is no doubt about victory!" ”

Yuan Shao asked again; "How so?"

Xu You replied: "In this battle, the lord has five victories, and Cao Mengde has five defeats, so there is no reason to lose." ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao asked with interest, "What are the five wins?" What about five defeats? ”

Xu You pondered for a while and said: "The lord is from a famous family, and the world knows it; However, Cao Mengde was despised by the world after being eunuch, which is a famous place; The lord is magnificent, informal; Cao Mengde is a small amount of energy, and he will repay it, which is a victory; The lord treats people with sincerity and is selfless; Cao Mengde is fame and reputation, cronyism, this is a virtue victory; The lord has the world in mind and the community in his heart; Cao Mengde only harmed the common people because of the hatred of one person, which is a righteous victory; The warriors under the command of the lord are like tigers, roaring like wolves; Cao Mengde did not care about the people's strength, and fought for many years, the division was old and the soldiers were tired, which was a military victory. The lord has these five victories, and Cao Mengde has these five defeats, how can there be any reason why he can't win without fighting? Moreover, in this war, Cao Mengde is facing the enemy on all sides, and he will be busy and chaotic, and the lord can sit and watch it, wait for the opportunity, and smash the heart with lightning speed, and will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Yuan Shao nodded excitedly, but he didn't make a statement in a hurry, but looked at Tian Feng again.

Tian Feng said with a smile: "The lord is worried, Yuan Highway is unwilling to give up?" ”

Yuan Shao stiffened his neck and nodded stiffly. The two brothers, who have not been in harmony since childhood, may join forces for temporary gain, but it is impossible for them to be safe all the time.

Yuan Shao knew this in his heart, and Yuan Shu was also a mirror.

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "If the lord and Cao Cao are in a different position, who will be the one who hates him the most?" ”

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "It must be him Yuan Highway!" ”

Tian Feng was relieved: "That's right! After a bloody battle at that time, Yuan Highway was still too late to protect himself, so how could he dare to trouble the lord? ”

Xu You said again: "Besides, Yuan Shu took the initiative to repair and handed over the position of the third duke, so how can the lord refuse to accept it?" ”

Yuan Shao clenched his fists excitedly, "Then inform Yang Hong, just say that he Yuan Highway is kind, and I, Yuan Shao, take it!" ”

In the first year of Jian'an, in the middle of spring.

The earth warmed up, all things recovered, the Han Dynasty Sikong Yuan Shu, set up a sacrificial platform in Wancheng, counted the ten major crimes of the thief and the rebel Cao Cao, swore to the sky, raised 100,000 soldiers, and claimed that the army of 300,000 went out to fight.

Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, Cong brother Yuan Yin stayed in Wancheng, the generals Ji Ling and Zhang Xun each led 20,000 soldiers and horses for the left and right flanks, and Yuan Shu personally led an army of 60,000 and went straight to his hometown Runan County.

At the same time, Zhang Yan, a general of Pingnan Zhonglang under the command of Han Jun, commanded 20,000 elite cavalry, went out of Keiguan through Hanoi, traveled hundreds of miles a day, and pointed to the place where Cao Cao raised his troops that year, and Chen Liujun left.
