The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

With Liu Yi's temperament, it is very likely that he will directly lead his troops out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then seize a ferry port of Cao Cao, and then send a small number of elites to smuggle across the Yellow River, attack one of his own ferries, and then lead his army across the river. In this way, Liu Yi can seize his Hanoi County in one fell swoop, which will make the shape of Jizhou take a sharp turn, and since then he has been attacked by the New Han army from the north and south, and he is not far from extinction.

When Yuan Shao thought of this, he shivered ruthlessly, and his heart felt empty. Now, Yuan Shao is basically sure that there is an eighty percent chance that Liu Yi will act as he guessed. Moreover, Yuan Shao felt that there was a fifty percent chance that Liu Yi might personally lead people to sneak across the Yellow River to attack one of his ferries.

Sometimes, war is like this, through guò little by little thinking and speculation, judging the enemy's offensive situation, and now, judging the enemy's situation according to some actual military conditions, and then planning how to deal with the enemy and how to mobilize troops and horses to fight this battle.

The current shape shì seems to be really clear.

Yuan Shao knew his own business, and at the moment, he was already in an isolated and helpless situation, and had been trapped and killed by Liu Yi's new Han army in the south-central region of Jizhou. Yuan Shao also believes that the current situation in Jizhou, compared to Liu Yi, may become the turtle in the urn, and it depends on how he Liu Yi catches himself.

The New Han army attacked from the north of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao knew that his army would definitely not be able to hold it, and it was only a matter of time. However, Yuan Shao had already given a death order to let those generals who were guarding the defensive city. We must defend to the death and resolutely fight the New Han Army to the end. In order to prevent those generals from defecting to the enemy, and to avoid the recurrence of such incidents as Zhang He and Gao Ran earlier. Yuan Shao has already controlled the families of his subordinate generals and strategists in Yecheng. Of course, according to the famous saying, it is said that their families are placed in Yecheng, so that it is convenient for him to protect, so that those generals can concentrate on fighting the enemy army.

In addition to controlling the generals under his command, Yuan Shao also sent absolute cronies and generals. With those pro-generals, he led an inspection team and stayed by the side of a group of generals to supervise and monitor those generals. If those generals are afraid of war and do not fight, and there are signs of passive resistance, the inspection team has the right to cut first and then play. Directly replace those generals. Take charge of the military horses and fight the New Han army to the end.

Therefore, Yuan Shao believed that if the New Han army attacked him from the north of Jizhou, even if he could not resist the enemy, it would inevitably inflict a heavy defeat on the New Han army, and at least let them pay a little price to break through their own defense line.

However, Yuan Shao, who had already studied the combat methods of the New Han Army. He thinks that if you storm yourself. If the New Han Army would suffer heavy casualties, Yuan Shao believed that the New Han Army might not really attack itself at any cost.

Because, the New Han Army is very patient, if it does not have the certainty of victory and can defeat itself at the least cost, the New Han Army will definitely not act rashly, and will inevitably wait until it has revealed its flaws, so that it will have a chance to attack officially.

In this way, that is to say, there should be no flaws for the New Han Army to grasp now, so the New Han Army will at most put on a posture of attacking itself for the time being, and then wait patiently for the opportunity, and will not seriously attack itself from the north for the time being.

However, Liu Yi must not be able to wait, he must want to destroy himself quickly, unify the region north of the Yellow River, and prepare for a big battle with Cao Cao. Therefore, Liu Yi will inevitably take action.

Once Liu Yi makes a move, it will be as Yuan Shao guessed in his heart, either from the Shangdang to send troops to him, or directly from the Tiger Prison Pass.

Thinking that Liu Yi would take such an action, Yuan Shao's heart secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if he didn't think of such a possibility, then he was afraid that he really didn't have much time to live.

Of course, after Yuan Shao's heart was empty, he couldn't help but feel a burst of fanaticism in his heart. Because, he thought, if his speculation is not wrong, then this is an opportunity, a good opportunity to give Liu Yi a heavy setback, and even, to calculate Liu Yi. With a good operation, Yuan Shao believes that it is still possible for him to kill Liu Yi and leave him by the Yellow River forever, so that Liu Yi will hate him. In this way, as long as he kills Liu Yi, then he has a little chance to turn defeat into victory.

Well, what would the New Han Dynasty have become without Liu Yi? When the time comes, those generals under his account will be crazy for a while at most, as long as they survive it, then they will have a chance to make a comeback. Don't sit back and wait like you are now.

However, if he wanted to kill Liu Yi, Yuan Shao knew that it was not a simple matter, and he had to have a careful plan.

Yuan Shao considered that if his guess was correct, then Liu Yi would definitely lead his most elite soldiers to sneak across the Yellow River to attack a crossing of his Yellow River defense line. Let's not talk about it, I don't know which ferry Liu Yi will attack now, just say that I know the target of Liu Yi's attack, what can I do? Ambush the army in advance? In this way, it may be possible to annihilate the people brought by Liu Yi in one fell swoop, but if he wants to kill Liu Yi, who is a little more powerful than Lu Bu, Yuan Shao really has no bottom in his heart. Because Liu Yi is no longer the little volunteer soldier he used to be, the current Liu Yi is afraid that he can kill a few times in the siege of his military horses.

Thinking about Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, even Zhao Yun can fight in and out of his own army, and if he changes Liu Yi, I'm afraid it will be the same.

I don't have a master who can really kill Liu Yi.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought of this.

It's obvious. If he wants to kill Liu Yi, there must be someone who can get the white knife in and out of the red knife, and give Liu Yi the knife. Ordinary soldiers, ordinary soldiers, can they stab Liu Yi with a knife? I'm afraid that they didn't kill Liu Yi's side, and they were killed by Liu Yi.

In front of those real masters, it is useless to ambush or ambush, unless it is really to besiege Liu Yi in the formation of his archers, and shoot Liu Yi directly with bows and arrows in all directions. However, even if he set up an ambush in advance, it is estimated that it is impossible to besiege Liu Yi among his archers. What's more, Liu Yi is surrounded by fierce generals. The masters are like forests, and the soldiers he brought across the river are definitely the elite of the elite. Everyone can block ten with one, and with the escort of these soldiers, it is really not easy to kill Liu Yi by himself.

At this moment, Yuan Shao couldn't help but miss Zhang He, Gao Ran and other futures. Although Zhang He and Gao Ran are not Liu Yi's enemies, if they have a general like Zhang He, then they can at least contain Liu Yi. At least he can be able to defeat Liu Yi and prevent Liu Yi from breaking through to his own army. As long as Liu Yi is dragged down, then it is possible to leave Liu Yi behind. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill Liu Yi at all.

What to do?

Yuan Shao now, he thinks that he has no good choice, and he must firmly believe in his speculation this time. I believe that Lewi will be like this. Then find a way to destroy Liu Yi, so that it is possible to turn defeat into victory, reverse the situation in one fell swoop, and change the dying situation that he is now dying.

No matter what, Yuan Shao felt that he had to arrange it immediately, and it was possible for Liu Yi to sneak across to attack his ferry. Set up the ambush and wait for Liu Yi's arrival.

Yuan Shao already had a plan in his heart. He decided to summon a group of advisers to discuss in the future. Although he didn't trust these advisors and generals under his tent very much, he wouldn't show it, and he couldn't let those under him see that he had lost trust in them. If he really has seven emotions and six desires, then will those advisers and generals still serve him? Can he still talk about dealing with the New Han Army to the end now?

Therefore, when it is really necessary to act, when it is necessary to carry out it, it is necessary for the generals below to carry out the plan, and for the people below to work hard for themselves. If he wants to kill Liu Yi, Yuan Shao can't do it alone.

The reason why he didn't believe it was just that since he captured Jizhou, the generals and strategists below didn't seem to have made some good plans for him, anyway, almost all of them failed. Well, Yuan Shao is now attributing the reason why he himself is in such a passive situation to the failure of the strategists below to come up with a better strategy for him, and to the ineffective combat of the generals below. He seems to have forgotten that many of the defeats in the war were due to his own failure to adopt the correct strategy of the strategists below.

However, Yuan Shao is now pushing the responsibility to the strategists and generals below, and it cannot be said that it is all Yuan Shao's fault, because the strategists below him, the strategy he has planned, no matter how big or small, the opinions of the following strategists have never tried to have a unified opinion, every time there is something, Yuan Shao has to make a choice of two or more. In this kind of conspiracy, no consensus has ever been reached, and the advisers under his account have never had the possibility of seeking common ground while reserving differences and perfecting each other's strategies. In this way, he is suspicious and indecisive, which makes Yuan Shao want to listen to whom?

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's heart, he was indeed a little disappointed in the advisors below, and slowly lost his trust.

But this time, Yuan Shao decided to get on the horse by himself and make his own plans, so that even if he finally miscalculated, he could accept it.

Summoning the following ministers and generals to discuss together, this is not to ask them to come to plan for themselves, but Yuan Shao is worried that he will be overlooked, so he summoned them to come and improve this strategy for himself. In this way, Yuan Shao himself will take the lead, so there is no need to worry about having other opinions. Moreover, Yuan Shao now feels that this is his last chance to turn defeat into victory, if anyone dares to raise objections, then Yuan Shao is determined to pull him out and behead him immediately. Whoever stops himself, who is the guy who wants to die by himself, how long will he stay if he is not destroyed?

At this moment, the generals under Yuan Shao's account were not as calm as Yuan Shao, and they could still think of a plan of action that might turn defeat into victory. They, except for being stubborn and listening to orders to deal with the New Han Army, in fact, they didn't know how panicked they were in their hearts.

Well, since the news of Liu Biao's death and Jingzhou falling into the hands of Liu Yi came, almost all of Yuan Shao's generals in the central and southern regions of Jizhou, which had not yet been taken over by the Xinhan Army, had a panicked mentality.

It's a pity that in addition to the ordinary soldiers, the advisers around Yuan Shao, as well as the generals who unified the army, their families were guarded by Yuan Shao in Yecheng, and they didn't dare to have the idea of defecting at all, so they only fought against the New Han Army to the end according to Yuan Shao's orders.

Yuan Shao summoned them to the Yecheng Palace at this moment to discuss matters, which made those generals and ministers under Yuan Shao's account a little strange.

Yecheng, although Yuan Shao did not officially claim the title of emperor like Yuan Shu. However, he also built a palace like a palace in Yecheng. He usually. And he dwelt in the midst of the palace, and in the midst of the temple he set up a great chamber of council.

The generals under Yuan Shao's account arrived one after another.

But as soon as they arrived, they felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, because they saw inside and outside the palace. Covered with soldiers, brightly armoured, look at the sergeants. It is as immobile as a mountain, solemn, and makes people feel an invisible sense of slaughter.

Yuan Shao sat on the dragon throne that was decorated like a throne. The face has been sinking like water. Expressionlessly, he watched the generals and ministers below silently enter the hall.

The list was sent to Yuan Shao's hands, and this time, in addition to the generals of the front-line army, Yuan Shao thought that for the time being, the generals and advisers who he believed to be credible and able to control were all summoned.

It didn't take long for the hall to be full. It's really like a court, with hundreds of civil and military officials.

The chamberlain drank a snort. Let the hall be silent, and then whisper to Yuan Shao, except for a few who have not come, they have basically arrived.

"Humph!" Yuan Shao patted the case table in front of him, Huo Di stood up, and a coercion emanated, which shocked the generals and ministers below.

"Yuan summoned you and others to come this time to announce something important, and this matter is related to the fate of all of us, even life and death. Or, it can be said that this is a chance for all of us to turn defeat into victory, and it is the only good opportunity for us to defeat the New Han army, plan and strategize. When Yuan said the plan, you can only obey, you can only help improve the plan, if there is any objection, there will be no forgiveness! Yuan Shao said coldly: "When Yuan Mou says it, everyone here must strictly keep secrets, and anyone who reveals it will punish his nine clans!" Now, if the door is closed and those who are late, they don't have to come again, they will be cut directly to set an example! ”

"Command!"

"Snow ......"

As soon as Yuan Shao's words were finished, his relatives received the order loudly and immediately ordered someone to close the temple door.

At the same time, the generals and ministers who came to the hall couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air. Yuan Shao is like this, so that they all understand that this time, Yuan Shao is serious. And, looking at Yuan Shao's current expression, looking at Yuan Shao's murderous intent, they all seem to have a feeling that today's Yuan Shao is very different from the indecisive Yuan Shao in the past.

In the past, Yuan Shao would always put on the appearance of a corporal of Lixian, and could patiently listen to their opinions and opinions. But at this moment, Yuan Shao has a bit of the majesty of a real hero, so that none of them dare to ask.

For a while, there was silence in the hall, like a chilling cicada.

After the door of the palace was closed, the chamberlain announced that the palace proceedings had officially begun, and all the civil and military officers hurriedly lined up in shifts and knelt down to call the lord.

Yuan Shao didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't let them get up. He just stood quietly with his hands in his hands.

After a while, not far from the hall, there were suddenly several terrible screams.

Hearing the screams, all the ministers kneeling in the hall trembled, and their hearts were shocked, knowing that those unlucky people who were late happened to hit Yuan Shao's knife and died unjustly. They were all glad that they did not slack off on Yuan Shao's summons, and they came as soon as possible.

"Again, this meeting is a major event of military aircraft, and no one is allowed to leak it!" Yuan Shao said coldly, and then said slowly: "I, Yuan someone, have been thinking about it these days, well, thinking about how Liu Yi wants to destroy us." As a result, Yuan speculated that Liu Yi might make the next move. There is an eighty percent chance that he will act like this. Therefore, now, Yuan plans to set up an ambush for Liu Yi in response to Liu Yi's possible actions. Defeat Lewy! ”

……

Yuan Shao said very slowly, but also very clearly, and, slowly analyzed to the following military ministers, analyzed from all aspects, and synthesized, it was concluded that Liu Yi had an adventurous spirit in his bones, and it was speculated that Liu Yi was very likely to sneak across the Yellow River and ambush a certain ferry on the bank of the Yellow River.

Now, what Yuan Shao needs the help of the ministers below is how to improve the ambush of Liu Yi this time. What would it take to possibly kill Liu Yi.

After listening to Yuan Shao's words, all the military ministers in the hall gasped, and at the same time, they all understood why Yuan Shao was so grand, or he would give them authority without saying anything.

For them, this battle has been fought so far, and they really have no hope of victory. Even if they still have hundreds of thousands of troops, they are simply unable to defeat their edge under the attack of the New Han Army. It was completely suppressed and beaten by the New Han Army from the very beginning.

Well, encounters, siege battles, ambush battles, etc., almost all of them lost in the end, just like the New Han army was really invincible, unmatched.

If it weren't for Yuan Shao's previous personal leadership of the people to ambush the New Han Army and win a few small battles, so that the generals would have recovered a little bit of morale and confidence, otherwise, now Yuan Jun saw the New Han Army, his heart was trembling, and his hands and feet would be weak.

And now, what Yuan Shao wants to seek is to kill Liu Yi directly, such a thing is really not trivial, if they succeed, their current unfavorable situation can be reversed and turn defeat into victory.

Yuan Shao asked them to discuss how to be sure which one Liu Yi would attack if he really wanted to attack his ferry. Then, how can you kill Lew. (To be continued......)
