After talking about it, Liu Ye brought the topic back to the general trend of the world, and said: "Lord, what is even more gratifying is that Liaodong County is now under the rule of Gongsun Du's father and son, Gongsun Du is brutal and strictly enforces strict punishments. ”

Yuan Wei was very fascinated when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to Liaodong now, and said: "So, Liaodong County can be the foundation? ”

"Liaodong County is admittedly evidenced!" Liu Ye said, "After the lord took Liaodong, he conquered Goguryeo in the east, attacked Xianbei in the north, first deterred it with swords, and then collected it with Wanghua, then hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen were at his fingertips!" Moreover, Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, so that the people can reclaim, and the fertile land obtained is not more than 100,000 hectares? In this way, the soldiers are well fed, and when the situation changes, they can cross the narrow sea to compete! ”

Yuan Wei listened to it more and more fascinated, but he was not carried away by the wonderful scene sketched by Liu Ye.

At that moment, Yuan asked Liu Ye: "What Mr. said about the situation has changed, can you be more specific, what does it mean?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "The uncle of the lord, the first prince, the majestic and heroic, the world's bull ears, Cao Cao, the traitor of the world, has always taken sweeping away the troubled times as his own responsibility, there is a way that a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how can a country have two masters?" In less than three years, there will be a battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, if nothing else, Yuan Shao will be defeated in this battle, at that time, the lord can take advantage of Xu Tuyou, and, Hebei, Qing four states, if the four states are pacified, then the world can be expected! ”

Liu Ye's words can be regarded as talking about Yuan Wei's heart.

The reason why Yuan Wei decided to go north to Jizhou was because of this wishful thinking.

Yuan Shao's defeat to Cao Cao was inevitable, and the outcome of the Battle of Guandu seemed to be contributed by many accidental factors, but in fact it was not.

Because Yuan Shao fundamentally lost to Cao Cao, Cao Cao knew people and was good at their duties, and worked together, but Yuan Shao did not know people, although there were many famous ministers and fierce generals under his account, but they were separated from morality and could not form a joint force, and even at the critical moment of the war, Yuan Shao's sons were still fighting openly and secretly, calculating each other in every possible way.

With this premise, can Yuan Shaoyan be undefeated?

Even if Yuan Wei has the foresight of a traverser and is willing to assist Yuan Shao with all his might, I am afraid that he will not be able to change the outcome of the Battle of Guandu, or even if Yuan Que has changed the outcome of the Battle of Guandu with his own strength, it is still not enough to change the outcome of Yuan Shao's defeat, because after the Battle of Guandu, there will be other major wars.

Everyone knows that Cao Cao is a small strong man who can't be killed, when Cao Cao went east to Xuzhou, Yanzhou was robbed by Lu Bu most of it, Cao Cao almost became a lost dog, and two consecutive battles were lost.

At this time, the situation faced by Cao Cao was not sinister, according to the loss, there was no way to supply grain, grass, and ordnance, and the army could not rest and recuperate.

However, Cao Cao did not die, and in the end, Cao Cao actually beat Lu Bu away!

There is also Chibi, the defeat of Hanzhong, and the other princes will definitely collapse after such a big defeat, Gongsun Zhan is like this, Yuan Shu is like this, Yuan Shao is also the same, and Fu Jian, the king of Qin, who will appear a hundred years later, is also collapsed after the defeat of Weishui, in Chinese history, such examples are numerous.

However, Cao Cao is an example, and this guy can always rise again after a big defeat.

Cao Cao has suffered repeated defeats, but he has always been able to stabilize his position and rise again, what does he rely on? Relying on the subordinates to die and save money and food, relying on the loyal generals under his command to retreat from the strong enemy, Cao Ren guards Xiangyang, Zhang Liao guards Hefei, and Cao Hong guards Chang'an!

Therefore, unless Yuan Shao can worship Yuan Tan as the governor of the capital, and Yuan Tan listens to the correct opinions of Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, it is simply wishful thinking for Yuan Jun to defeat Cao Jun.

However, is it possible for Yuan Shao to worship Yuan Tan as the Grand Governor?

It is obviously impossible, even if Yuan Shao has this idea, Yuan Shang and the Liu family will definitely not do what Yuan Shao wants.

Therefore, Yuan never thought that the defeat of Guandu could be avoided, let alone change the outcome of the battle of Guandu.

Yuan No's plan is to win Yuan Shao's trust by attacking Gongsun Zan first, and then try to seek the four states of Hebei, Qing, He, and Youzhou after Yuan Shao's defeat in Guandu! In the final analysis, from the defeat of Yuan Shaoguandu to Cao Cao's pacification of Hebei, the time span was as long as five years, and with these five years, it was enough for him Yuan to do a lot of things.

Therefore, Liu Ye's words just now really spoke to Yuan Wei's heart.

Yuan Wei couldn't help but sigh, Mr. and Yuan are really heroes, and they see the same thing!

However, Yuan Wei still held back, and then said hypocritically: "You, He, Hebei, and Qing are the foundation of my uncle, even if my uncle dies, there should be a few brothers to inherit the throne, if you take it, it's good to say, right?" ”

Liu Ye laughed when he heard this, and after laughing, he said: "How can the lord be a soft-hearted person? ”

Yuan Wei was a little embarrassed, and said sneeringly: "That's it, it's not easy to go to Hebei." ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "The lord is in a dilemma, I don't know what to do with the civil and military left by the first lord, right?" ”

"Leave them alone, the lord is alone, if he goes north to Jizhou alone, Cao Cao can arrest the lord by sending a pavilion chief; force them to go together, for fear that they will spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army; Kill them, it will ruin your reputation, and then offend the world's corporal clan, you really can't beat them, you can't kill them, you can't drive them away, it's embarrassing, it's embarrassing. ”

"I really can't hide anything from Mr." Liu Ye's words spoke to Yuan No's heart again, he had long wanted to get rid of these burdens, but he had been struggling to find a suitable excuse, but he didn't know if Liu Ye would have a good countermeasure? At that moment, Yuan asked with a long sigh on the ground, "Please also teach me, sir." ”

Liu Ye said: "It's hard to say this, but it's easy to say. ”

Yuan Fu hurriedly said: "Please also ask Mr. to make it clear, Yuan will listen attentively." ”

Liu Ye said: "First of all, to make it clear, when the lord goes north to Jizhou, he can only take away those who are willing to go, and as for those who are unwilling to go, he can't force others." ”

Yuan Wei said: "This should be so. ”

In addition to Jin Shang, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong and other Liao Liao people, Yuan Nuo is not rare at all Yuan Shu left this group of civil officials, if it were not for the scruples of Jin Shang and other civilian officials on the army too much, offending the civilian group is very likely to shake the army's heart, as early as Long Kang, Yuan Que reorganized the army with an iron fist, and then led the army north to Jizhou.

If this is the case, maybe this will already enter Jizhou.

Now that Jin Shang and Yan Xiang are dead, Yuan Wei is even less rare for Yuan Shu to leave behind the old ministers.

"That's easy, but we'll talk about how to deal with civilian officials later, and now we'll talk about the military." Liu Ye sold a pass, bypassing the topic, "This is thousands of miles away from Jizhou, whether you go to Yanzhou or Xuzhou, you will definitely be attacked and killed by Cao Cao and Lu Bu. ”

Yuan Wei deeply believes that it is necessary to bring an elite army to Jizhou in the north, which is needless to say.

Liu Ye continued: "Please forgive me for saying bluntly, this army under the command of the lord is not an elite soldier. ”

Yuan Wei was silent, although Liu Ye's words sounded very harsh, what he said was the truth, the 4,000 troops under his command were indeed not elite soldiers, because Xia Cai and Long Kang won the two battles by chance, strictly speaking, these 4,000 soldiers have not experienced a real war.

An army that has not experienced a great war or a vicious battle, what kind of elite soldier is it?

The real elite soldier must be as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a yin, and as moving as a thunderbolt.

The so-called immobility means that no matter how urgent the enemy's attack is, I will not move!

It is very difficult for an army that has not experienced the vicious battles of a major war to do this.

Liu Ye said: "If the lord can't build an elite army, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach Hebei." ”

Yuan Wei sighed: "But if you want to build an elite army, how easy is it?" You can't go to Chaohu Lake, right? ”

If you really take 4,000 troops to fight Chaohu, it will really be a vicious battle, but this battle is evil, but the result is only afraid that the whole army will be wiped out without suspense.

Liu Ye said: "Fighting Chaohu Lake naturally has no chance of winning, but if Sun Ce waves his army to attack, our army can defend the city, and we can take the opportunity to build elite soldiers!" ”

Yuan Di's eyes lit up, and he said, "Sun Ce is coming to attack?" ”

Liu Ye nodded, and said solemnly: "If Sun Ce waves his army to attack, our army can defend the fortified city, so that not only can we take the opportunity to build an elite army, but the lord can also take the opportunity to get rid of those officials who are unwilling to go, and even more, the lord can also take this opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people in the world!" ”
