The stage was silent.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to get angry, the empathetic judge hurriedly stepped forward, put his hands together and bowed: "Don't worry, my lord, the Qingzhou army in front of you looks as high as 50,000 horses, but in fact, nearly half of them are people and craftsmen wearing the old-fashioned leather armor of the Qingzhou army......

"In the eyes of their subordinates, their only purpose is nothing more than to wait for the arrival of Gongsun Zhan's 60,000 army in the north, but Gongsun Zhan's 60,000 army is still seventy miles away, at least before noon tomorrow, they will not be able to reach the north bank of the Futuo River under the strict control of our army, and the lord has time to calmly dispatch."

"Yes, my lord, I'm afraid Gongsun Zhan won't know until he dies, under the lord's precautionary plan, the three thousand elites of General Liyi and the eight thousand iron cavalry of King Xianbei Zuoxian will soon be killed from Shanggu to his old nest Jixian. According to the calculations of his subordinates, within two days, Gongsun Zhan, who was on fire in the backyard, would definitely flee north, and at that time, the Qingzhou army in the east would not be a problem. Gao Gan also echoed and praised Yuan Shao's long-hidden tricks.

Yuan Shao was not so optimistic, he had always been very jealous of Liu Cun and the Qingzhou army that had never lost a battle, and he clearly knew that Liu Cun, who had been enduring for many years, would not only unite Gongsun Zhan's strategy, although he had not yet received news from Hanoi and Hedong in the rear, but Yuan Shao had a vague premonition that the two places were likely to have been attacked by the Qingzhou army.

What made Yuan Shao even more upset was that. So far, there is no news about Liu Cun's whereabouts. This means that the great danger of the unknown is likely to be imminent.

The henchmen saw Yuan Shao's heavy heart. Feeling that something was wrong in his heart, Tian Feng, who was vaguely aware of the danger, silently glanced at the crowd of civil and martial arts, and finally stopped his gaze on Xu You, who was silent five steps away.

Xu You seemed to feel Tian Feng's blazing gaze, slowly raised his head and smiled bitterly at Tian Feng, and then continued to put his hands in his wide sleeves without saying a word.

Tian Feng had no choice but to say loudly: "Lord, among all the people present, only Mr. Ziyuan is the most familiar with the Qingzhou Army and Liu Zijian. The lord may wish to ask Mr. Ziyuan what he thinks. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to Xu You, who had been snubbed by him for many days.

Xu You glanced at Tian Feng with guilt on his face unhappily, sighed faintly and took two steps in front of Yuan Shao, raised his hand and saluted loudly to express his judgment.

With a crisp sound of "pop", the coarse porcelain rice bowl that fell on the ground was torn apart, and Cao Cao, who was extremely shocked, threw away the chopsticks casually, Huo Ran stood up, and stared at Cao Ren, who was sweating profusely in front of him.

Although Cao Cao and the strategists had accurately predicted that Liu Cun, who had formed an alliance with Gongsun Zhan, would soon lead his troops to attack Yuan Shao, no one expected that the prediction would come true so quickly.

In the dim candlelight. Cao Ren, who was twenty-four years old, quietly glanced at Guo Jia, the military advisor beside him, and took a step forward under Guo Jia's hint:

"The information urgently submitted by Puyang prosecutor Xiahou Qian is extremely detailed...... Since yesterday evening. The Qingzhou Navy sail pulp fast boats stationed at the Pingjin ferry port suddenly dispatched, with a total of no less than 30 ships, and these ships, together with more than 10 new-style paddle steamers that suddenly arrived from the downstream, blocked all the ferries from the Pingjin ferry in the upper reaches to the Baimajin in the lower reaches. ”

"Xiahou Qian was deeply disturbed when he saw this, and sent all his secret agents out overnight, and finally sent back the news in the early morning of this day: tens of thousands of Qingzhou cavalry have crossed the river and attacked Wenxian non-stop, and tens of thousands of Qingzhou infantry cavalry are still landing on the north bank in a steady stream, and there are no less than 100 ships of all sizes transporting soldiers and horses at Pingjin Ferry, and judging by its forward banner, the leader is Xu Sheng, the general of the Qingzhou Army."

Cao Cao no longer hesitated after hearing this: "This matter is not trivial, and the situation in the world is likely to change dramatically because of this!" Bong-hyo, immediately notify everyone to come to the meeting! ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "They are all here, waiting for the lord in the front hall." ”

Cao Cao didn't have time to put on his coat and walked out, and suddenly stopped halfway through, grabbed Guo Jia's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Feng Xiao thinks that what should we do at the top of the list?" ”

Guo Jia, who was confident, suggested in a low voice: "No matter how heroic Liu Zijian is, and no matter how brave and good the Qingzhou army is, it is impossible to take Jizhou within a month, so his subordinates believe that the lord must make a decision immediately, do his best to quickly defeat Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and firmly control the entire Yanzhou in his hands." ”

"At the same time, the lord needs to secretly order General Zang Ba and Chen Qi and his son to launch as soon as possible, and they must take Pengcheng and Xiaopei within a month, so that no matter what the outcome of the battle of Jizhou is, the lord can easily deal with it."

Cao Cao thought so, rolled his eyes and asked again, "How is the direction of Luoyang?" ”

Guo Jia suddenly said solemnly: "Luoyang must not be touched, at least until the strength of the lord exceeds that of Liu Zijian, otherwise it will not only anger Liu Zijian and the powerful Qingzhou behind him, but also attract the criticism of the Chang'an court and the princes of the world!" ”

Cao Cao laughed, took Guo Jia's hand, walked out side by side, and said with great emotion: "It is really Cao Cao's great luck to be assisted by Fengxiao!" Ha ha...... In the past six months, every time I think of Luoyang, I deeply admire Liu Zijian's foresight......"

"Two years ago, who wanted to occupy Luoyang, the ruined capital of Baigu Sensen? Who wants to spend huge manpower and material resources to restore the old capital for the Han Dynasty in the twilight of the Western Mountains? And he Liu Zijian held high the banner of loyalty and filial piety to do it, and in just two years, he turned the ruins of hundreds of miles into a large granary with abundant grains, which not only won the praise of the people of the world, but also laid out a big chess game, making Luoyang, which restored the people's livelihood, another foundation for him to conquer the world, and had to obey it! ”

Guo Jia also sighed, he also did not foresee the far-reaching significance of Liu Cun's restoration of Luoyang, but after he saw it clearly, he could no longer shake Liu Cun who stood on the moral high ground.

Just when Cao Cao urgently summoned his confidants, civil and military, to discuss countermeasures, the Hedong County Administration on the north bank of the Great River was already heavily armed and slaughtered.

The 6,000 Yuan troops who surrendered in Kaecheng were all retreated to the camp in the south of the city under the supervision of the Qingzhou cavalry, and the 15,000 Qingzhou infantry soldiers who quickly came surrounded the entire city, and the commander of the army, Xu Huangqin, led 3,000 elites to the granary, arsenal and important facilities in the city, and five battalions of crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers climbed the city wall from all directions.

Xu Sheng, the general of the Qingzhou Army, accompanied by the general Lu Pei and other generals, strode to the gate of Yuan Shao's general's mansion, and warmly greeted Cui Hao, the Taishou of Hedong, who was standing under the steps and had already been secretly rebelled by Qingzhou, and then went to the middle courtyard of the general's mansion to check and mourn Han Meng, the left-behind general of the Yuan army, and Guo Yuan, the county commander of Huaixian County, who were unwilling to betray Yuan Shao and committed suicide.
