Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not as good as their father Yuan Shao, fortunately, they still have some advantages that Yuan Shao does not have, that is, they can be more humble and admonish.

Of course, this may not be their own willingness, after all, it is also a little plot and more decisions, Yuan Shao is stubborn and self-serving, so he often makes mistakes because of self-righteousness, but there is no lack of time, and it is not by blind guessing that it is indeed his own analysis and opinion, but Yuan Tan and the two are really "less plotter", many times they have to listen to the opinions of others, otherwise they can't even make decisions.

This time it was the same, Lu Bu with 120,000 horses, known as 200,000 troops, crossed the border with a huge momentum, it was difficult to think about it, and the goal was known to everyone, and after knowing the news, the two brothers who were separated from the east and west sides of the place actually made the same decision, and summoned all their subordinates to come to discuss matters.

Of course, the two of them must be different from each other, except for Lu Yi, Feng Ji, and Zhao Zhao, who had already broken away from Yuan Shao before, as well as Xu You, Chen Lin and others who escaped with Yuan Shao in Yecheng and were finally captured, the rest are basically according to those who have been selected among the two sons when they were still under Yuan Shao, and now they naturally follow the young masters they have chosen a long time ago.

For example, Chun Yuqiong belongs to the side of the eldest prince Yuan Tan, and Guo Tu follows Yuan Shang, and there is no accident at this time.

However, after the same discussion and the same chaotic discussion on both sides, the results were strikingly similar, in the face of the menacing Lu Bu, they could not think of any possibility to resist the obstruction, and there were only two ways to go. Either surrender or abandon the land and flee north.

At this time, there was chaos in Youzhou, Lu Bu seemed to have no intention of controlling it, allowing the people to be displaced and the mountain bandits to make trouble, and the officers and soldiers in various places were similar or even worse than those thieves, in the eyes of many local people, the people and horses of the government here were just bandits dressed in the uniform of the government.

Heading north from Changshan Country, it happens to be in Youzhou, so if the two of them don't want to surrender, if they really want to escape, this is of course the best or even the only choice. And it does look like a good choice. At least they can come as the saviors of the local people, and when the time comes, they can directly win the hearts of the people and settle down here.

But Lu Bu can't see this, Jia Xu can't they see this. Why don't you stop it? There's a reason for that, of course. Eryuan may not have any vision to see it. But the people under them are not without such insight and strategy, such as Xun Chen, who followed Yuan Tan.

Xun Chen's character is friendly, which can be seen from the surname and table words. This person has a great relationship with Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, in fact, these two are brothers, and compared to Xun Yu's lack of "next family", Xun Chen has already chosen Yuan Shao, and because of the background of the Yingchuan Xun family, Yuan Shao was quite optimistic for a while.

It's a pity that because of the changes in the current situation, a lot has changed from the history that Lu Bu is familiar with, and the relationship between Yuan Shao and Han Fu at the beginning, no matter who past, there was no way to persuade Han Fu to give way to Yuan Shao as Jizhou Mu, so naturally Xun Chen lost his best opportunity to perform, and then for some reason, there was never a stage that allowed him to show his strengths, and he was unknown under Yuan Shao for several years.

Many people say that real gold is not afraid of fire refining, as long as there is talent, sooner or later one day will be able to get ahead, but in fact, there are countless people who have the ability and ideas in this world, but in the end, there are only a handful of people who can really come out, compared to the more important is an opportunity, and this Xun Chen obviously lacks such an opportunity, you must know that Yuan Shao's subordinates are not short of strategists, a Tian Feng will not be much worse than Chen Gong and others under Lu Bu, this Xun Chen failed to get his own opportunity, and it is not like Xu You, Chen Lin and Tian Feng have long been valued by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao is not a patient lord, so naturally after there are no good opportunities and not many brilliant performances, Yuan Shao has been interested in him from the beginning, and then he has been indifferent and finally directly forgot that there is such a person under him, until the recent death of Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan urgently begged for the master, and Xun Chen gradually appeared on the stage.

Of course, there are some origins in this, because Yuan Tan has long followed Yuan Shao to start the expedition, and has a better relationship with those generals in the army, and there are old people like Xu You and Chen Lin who also followed Yuan Shao early on, but many of the subsequent literati and strategists are mostly biased towards Yuan Shang, such as Guo Tu, so most of the people Yuan Tan can rely on have always been military generals, and there is actually only one Xu You who can let him ask for advice, after all, Chen Lin's literary and romantic strategy is his shortcoming, and now these two are gone. Chun Yuqiong and other generals can lead the troops to fight and execute military orders, it is obviously impossible for them to plan a response strategy, at this time, Xun Chen, who happened to leave with Yuan Tan, waited for an opportunity that belonged to him, and it was an excellent opportunity, at this time he couldn't grasp it, then he really had no ability.

Now Xun Chen's words are becoming more and more important on Yuan Tan's side, which is related to the fact that after entering the Zhao State, until the division of the two counties into the east and west, Xun Chen has played an important role in several war of words with Yuan Shang during the period of dividing and ruling the east and west, and Xun Chen also helped Yuan Tan see through the small schemes of Yuan Shang several times, and was gradually regarded by Yuan Tan as a confidant, this time he was naturally summoned, and after the two so-called results were discussed in confusion, Yuan Tan was the first to ask Xun Chen, who was always silent: " That Lu Fengxian's army is menacing this time, I think it is difficult to block, these two retreats have merit, so I don't know what Mr. thinks? ”

From his words and demeanor, Yuan Tan really respects Xun Chen, which is really better than his father, but this may also be one of the reasons why Yuan Shao has always thought that he is not like himself and loves Yuan Shang more.

But obviously Yuan Tan's move may not be right, just look at Xun Chen's brows at this time, he seems to be a little dissatisfied, and the civil ministers and generals who were also summoned are not so happy It can be seen that who called this Xun Chen to rise too fast, making them feel deeply threatened, and they should be dealt with in a low-key manner at this time, which is also the reason why Xun Chen is always reluctant to take the initiative to speak at every meeting, that is, I hope that everyone will try to ignore him as much as possible, so as to reduce Cheng Dù, who is hated by everyone, but he is destroyed by Yuan Tan every time.

But he was just a little helpless, at this time Yuan Tan was indeed a little sick and rushed to the doctor, so his expression and tone were a little impatient, which made Xun Chen understand a little, he paused, as if he was planning words, Yuan Tan also thought of this, and waited silently next to him, and naturally the others at the meeting only waited.

In fact, this is Xun Chen deliberately using this method to cool everyone's jealousy of him, if Yuan Tan asked him immediately had an answer and answered, and it was a different idea from everyone, wouldn't it be a blatant slap in everyone's face, and even be the enemy of everyone? Xun Chen is from a family, he is well versed in the way of survival in the family, and the same is true for himself, if it weren't for the idea in his heart this time, he felt that this was the best opportunity, he would not be willing to stand up and help Yuan Tan.

After a long while, when several generals were about to lose their patience, Xun Chen said again: "Actually, it's okay to say that according to what everyone said, maybe everyone has overlooked something?" ”

Someone subconsciously asked, "What is it?" ”

Xun Chen smiled and said: "First of all, let's talk about the road to retreat to Youzhou, everyone knows the chaos in Youzhou, and it is true that this trip can directly subdue the people, but have you thought about it, how is the military heart?" ”

When these words were asked, there were already a few nimble generals who turned a corner, and it was very simple whether the soldiers could accept and leave their hometowns, not to mention that this was still forced to retreat again and again, Youzhou is not absolutely safe, if the military morale falls into a trough at that time, even if the local people's hearts are gained, what can they do, can they still be expected to help them resist the attack of Lu Bu's army?

Thinking of this, the faces of several people who had been clamoring for this retreat just now also changed a little, and Xun Chen continued as if he hadn't seen the change in their faces: "As for surrender, don't talk about the eldest prince, even I, Xun Chen, will not be willing." This is true, if he can, he really doesn't want to surrender, he would rather fight to the death, of course, the premise is to put the last idea in his heart into practice, then it is really a death without regrets.

The corners of Yuan Tan's eyebrows twitched, of course he couldn't surrender, he was reluctant to get this hard-won position of lord, although in name, he still let everyone call himself "eldest son", only saying that his father's bones were not cold, and he was doing his filial piety.

As for the few who mentioned surrendering, they were naturally silent at this time, and it could be seen from Yuan Tan's expression that they naturally wouldn't be boring.

Or is Xun Chen the only one who is speaking: "The next thing is what Chen said that everyone ignores, then Lu Feng is going to attack us first, so why don't we either surrender or flee, and we can't resist?" Of course, the generals will say that the troops are insufficient and morale is low, and it is the Tiger Prison God of War, the world's first military general or the imperial captain, it is impossible to resist, this is also true, but we can't resist, we can still take the initiative to attack, of course, not to fight hard over there, but to attack it must be saved. ”

At this time, Yuan Tan and the others were completely confused and confused, although it was not the first time they heard Xun Chen's plan, but this time it was really an antelope hanging horns, and there was no trace of teaching them, and in the end they could only wait for him to reveal the answer himself: "For example...... Luoyang! (To be continued......)
