After a few months of the Kwantung Coalition Army's crusade against Dong Zhuo, the situation was very unfavorable for Yuan Shao and others, when the young lord was in the court, the evil demons were in charge, and the Kwantung Coalition Army led by Yuan Shao himself not only suffered military defeats, but also had many internal contradictions, and internal strife was rampant, and Yuan Shao's own army's grain route was pinched by others, in this case, Yuan Shao was no longer able to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, Yuan Shao sought to establish another position, hoping to regroup, but because Liu Yu insisted on maintaining orthodoxy, Yuan Shao's plan died halfway.

When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao talked about the world, Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao: "If the major events (the great cause of Dong Dong) are not smooth, where can we defend it?" ”

Cao Cao asked rhetorically, "What do you think should be done?" Yuan Shao replied: "I defend the Yellow River in the south, rely on the dangers of Yan and Dai in the north, and then add the troops of Karasuma and Xianbei, and then march south to fight for the world, so maybe it can become a big thing, right?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "Then if I use the strength of all the talented people in the world and use the idea of the Great Dao to control them, I will win every battle." ”

According to the record of "Fu Zi", Cao Cao also said later: "The king of Tang and Wu, how can you be the same as the earth?" If you use the risk as a fund, you can't change it according to the opportunity. ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao respectively put forward their own strategic guidelines, on the whole, Yuan Shao said more realistic, Cao Cao said more magnificent, but we can find that their views are closely related to their personal situation.

Yuan Shao's point of view is first north and then south, Yuan Shao was in the north at that time, and he was also the Taishou of Bohai, so Yuan Shao's view was in line with his own personal situation, and Cao Cao was still living a wandering career at that time, but Cao Cao was very ambitious, so these words also showed Cao Cao's ambition.

And although the record of "Fu Zi" looks very powerful, after Cao Cao got Yanzhou, in order to defend Yanzhou, he fought bloody battles with Jin Shang, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others, and he should have never given up the danger and improvised.

At that time, the land of Yan and Dai mainly referred to Jizhou and other places in the north, so after Yuan Shao failed to establish a new one, he had begun to change and plan more for himself, of course, it may also be that Yuan Shao wanted to revive the Han family after enhancing his strength, but it is obvious that Yuan Shao has begun to gradually treat himself as a prince, and the color of the scholar clan is slowly weakening.

After seeing the inevitable decline of the Han Dynasty and the hopelessness of the reorganization of the coalition forces, Yuan Shao had slowly transitioned from a "minister" to a "king".

The time came to the second year of Chuping (191), which was the second year of the Kwantung Coalition Army's crusade against Dong Zhuo, and a lot of things happened in Jizhou in this year, which made Yuan Shao see an opportunity.

First of all, Han Fu's subordinate Lu Yi (a said Qu Yi) betrayed Han Fu, Han Fu led the army to crusade against Lu Yi, but lost, which made Yuan Shao see Han Fu's military weakness, and the relationship between Yuan Shao and Han Fu was not good, Han Fu gave Yuan Shao too many pigtails, so Yuan Shao prepared to seize Jizhou.

So after Han Fu lost to Lu Yi, Yuan Shao immediately contacted Lu Yi, and the two united with each other in order to fight Han Fu.

At the same time, Feng Ji, a strategist under Yuan Shao, suggested to Yuan Shao: "The general advocates great things, but he must rely on others to supply grain and grass, and if he cannot occupy a state as a base area, he will not be able to protect himself." ”

Feng Ji also saw Yuan Shao's predicament, so he hoped that Yuan Shao would seize a base (Jizhou).

Of course, Yuan Shao wanted to capture Jizhou, but how could Jizhou be so easy to fight, so he asked Fengji: "Jizhou is strong, and my subordinates are hungry and lacking, if we can't succeed, there will be no place for us to stand." ”

Feng Ji said: "Han Fu is a mediocre talent, you can secretly contact Gongsun Zan and ask him to attack Jizhou." After Gongsun Chan came, Han Fu must be panicked and frightened, we took the opportunity to send an eloquent envoy to analyze the blessings and misfortunes for him, Han Fu was forced by the sudden crisis, he must be willing to give Jizhou to you, and you can take the opportunity to become the lord of Jizhou. ”

Yuan Shao was already eyeing Jizhou, but because the grain road was controlled by Han Fu, the lifeline was controlled by others, and Jizhou was not weak, Yuan Shao was not sure, so he was worried.

And Feng Ji's strategy of fighting grass and scaring snakes does not need to move a single soldier, as long as he can use the pressure of Gongsun Chan to make Han Fu succumb, even if Han Fu is not obedient, under the joint efforts of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu, who has been defeated in successive battles, will definitely not be able to resist, and Jizhou will also win.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao naturally felt that it was good, and thought that what Feng Ji said was good, and he was closer to Feng Ji, so he decided to act accordingly, so he wrote to Gongsun Zan to lure him south.

At that time, Gongsun Chan was under the command of Liu Yu, although he had a strong military force, but unfortunately the owner of Youzhou was not surnamed Gongsun, and the prestige of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was far above that of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu were full of contradictions in policy strategy, so Gongsun Chan had a great demand for a piece of land.

Yuan Shao may have persuaded Gongsun Chan to secretly seize Han Fu's Jizhou under the pretext of crusading against Dong Zhuo, but at that time, Han Fu had just lost to his subordinate Ko Yi and was very incompetent in military terms, so Gongsun Chan naturally regarded Han Fu as a target.

Gongsun Chan then led his army to Jizhou, ostensibly claiming to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but in fact he was plotting to attack Han Fu, and Han Fu was not stupid, he saw that Gongsun Chan was menacing and the comer was not good, so he fought with him in Anping, and then Han Fu lost again.

At this time, Dong Zhuo happened to retreat to Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao was liberated, so he led the army back to Yanjin, on the one hand, echoing Gongsun Zhan from afar, increasing pressure on Han Fu, and on the other hand, sending his nephew, Chen Liuren, Gao Gan, and Han Fu's cronies Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others from Yingchuan to lobby Han Fu.

They said to Han Fu: "Gongsun Zhan led the armies of Yan and Dai to the south to take advantage of the victory, and the counties responded one after another, and the army was unstoppable. Yuan Shao led the army to move eastward, and his intentions are not known, and we are worried about the general. ”

Han Fu was very panicked when he heard this, so he asked them, "Since this is the case, then what should I do?" ”

Xun Chen said: "Gongsun Zhan commands the elite divisions of Yan and Dai, and the military is strong and unstoppable; Yuan Shao is also a generation of heroes, and he definitely does not want to live under you, the general. And the Jizhou you own is an important area with abundant products in the world, and it is the place where those who compete for the world must fight. If Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao both want to occupy Jizhou, then the danger of Jizhou is an immediate matter.

And Yuan Shao is your old friend of the general, and once formed an alliance to discuss Dong Zhuo together, now if you want to say that you plan for the general, I think it is better to give the entire Jizhou to Yuan Shao. After General Yuan got Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan could not compete with him, so Yuan Shao would inevitably be kind to the general. And you have handed over Jizhou to a reliable close friend, and you have also left a good reputation for Rang Xian, which can ensure that you are safe and sound, please make a decision as soon as possible, do not hesitate. ”

And Han Fu turned out to be just like Feng Ji thought, and really gave Jizhou to Yuan Shao.
