Yuan Shao had made up his mind, and the army was immediately divided into two parts, and Fu Zhi was responsible for leading the army on the northern front to storm the Pusaka Ferry.

Xu Yu returned to his tent.

Wang Fen smiled: "Why does Ziyuan look depressed? ”

Xu You smiled, "I'm in a good mood!" Don't worry about Wenzu! ”

"Oh? Why did I hear that Yuan Shao entrusted him with a heavy responsibility? Isn't Zi far from being displeased because of this? ”

Xu You's face changed and he snorted coldly.

Wang Fen said with a smile: "Frustration commands the army of the northern front, judging from the current situation, if this battle can be won, Frustration will definitely make the first contribution, at that time, is there still a place for you in front of Yuan Shao?" ”

Xu You frowned, glanced at Wang Fen, and sneered: "You just want to persuade me to persuade the lord to withdraw from the army!" Do you think I'm going to be fooled? ”

Wang Fen smiled, "Ziyuan, isn't this matter good for you?" Regardless of whether Yuan Shao can win this battle, even if he wins, will it be a good thing for Ziyuan? If you set up a head attack, you will inevitably win Yuan Shaorong's favor, and at that time, how should you Xu Ziyuan deal with yourself? Are you willing to succumb to frustration? ”

Xu You didn't speak, frowning and thinking.

Just when Zhang Lang and Yuan Shao were fighting at Tongguan, Cao Cao in the east led the main force to launch a comprehensive counterattack against Yuan Shu, although Cao Cao's army did not have any advantage in strength, but Yuan Shu's army was unable to compete with Cao Cao's army at all, and retreated from Xuzhou all the way to the south, losing his armor and losing heavy losses. Cao's army chased across the Huai River in one go, surrounded Yuan Shu in Shouchun City, and the battle was in a stalemate.

The gaze turned to the Jizhou Inn.

Liu Bei, who had been living in Jizhou for a long time, stood under the eaves of the porch, looking at the cloudy sky, thinking that he was half a hundred years old but still had not achieved his achievements, and couldn't help but sigh.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, who were dressed in civilian clothes, walked behind Liu Bei and hugged their fists together: "Big brother (lord)!" ”

Liu Bei turned around and saw the three generals get up, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Fei said loudly: "Big brother, then Yuan Shao is not willing to reuse us at all, why stay here and suffer from his anger?" ”

Guan Yu also said: "The third brother is right, if the eldest brother wants to make a career and live under the roof of others, how can he succeed!" Why don't you get out of here and make another plan! ”

Zhao Yun showed a look of approval and looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei glanced at the three generals, "You all think so?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Fei said.

Liu Bei thought for a while and glanced at the three of them, "It's not a secret, in fact, I already had this plan!" "Frowning," When I defected to Yuan Shao, I originally thought that the fourth generation and third prince of his family must be loyal to the loyalty of the Han family, but now it seems that this is not the case! I have already thought about it, leave this place, go to borrow troops from Yuan Shao to crusade against Runan, if it can be successful, I will use this place as a base and make another plot! ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Big brother should have been like this a long time ago!" ”

At this moment in Jiangnan, Sun Jian, who already owns the entire Yangzhou and Jiangxia and Changsha regions, is already preparing to launch an attack on Jingzhou, and warships, grain and grass, and soldiers are constantly converging on Jiangxia. Faced with the grim situation, Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to be the main general, dispatched all the troops in Jingzhou, prepared for battle, and sent people to Yuan Shao for help.

Look back.

Zhang Lang led 20,000 cavalry to Wuguan, and on the same day, he attacked Yuan Shao's grain transport team and burned hundreds of thousands of grain and grass. When Yuan Shao got the news, he was furious, and immediately sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to command the iron cavalry to fight, but when Yan Liang and Wen Chou's iron cavalry arrived, Zhang Lang had already disappeared!

After that, the game of cat and mouse continued to be staged, and the 20,000 cavalry led by Zhang Lang fought and ran, and did not have any direct contact with Yuan Shaojun, and the 80,000 iron cavalry led by Yan Liangwen Chou was like a tiger that could not find an opponent, angry and exhausted.

Yuan Shaojun's grain route was unstable, and the supply of grain and grass on the front line was insufficient, and morale was affected to a certain extent.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao was uneasy, the grain route was unstable, and his morale fluctuated, which made him very uneasy, and he couldn't help but have a plan to withdraw the army, but he was unwilling.

A herald ran into the big tent and handed over a letter with both hands, "My lord, Mr. Fu Zhu has a letter to deliver." ”

Yuan Shao, who was hesitating, was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly grabbed the letter, opened it, and looked at it. It turned out that Yuan Shao had already guessed Yuan Shao's hesitation, and he said in the letter: Now that countless grains and grasses have been gathered and millions of troops have been mobilized, if they return without success, they will not only be laughed at by the people of the world, but will also dampen the spirit of our army! With the current strength of our army, as long as the lord makes up his mind, he will definitely be able to attack Guanzhong and level Lu Bu! The lord is only worried about the problem of our army's food and grass, in fact, the lord does not have to worry at all, although there is enemy harassment, but he is unable to cut off the grain route, the lord should give the soldiers firm confidence! I hope that the lord will make up his mind, don't let him worry, this battle will be won! Frustrated, he bowed again.

After reading the letter of the frustrated professor, Yuan Shao only felt that the whole person was cheerful.

Xu You walked in at this time, and when he saw Yuan Shao's radiant appearance, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and stepped forward and asked, "Why is the lord happy?" ”

Yuan Shao handed the letter to Xu You and said with a smile: "I'm worried, but a letter from the frustrated professor has made all the troubles disappear!" ”

Xu You read the letter, "Lord! This is a misconception! ”

Yuan Shao was stunned, "What?" ”

Xu You said: "Regardless of the current grain and grass problem and the impact on morale, even if there are no such problems, will our army definitely be able to enter the Guanzhong?" ”

Yuan Shao frowned.

"Lord, Lu Bujun is extremely brave! Even if our army can break into Guanzhong, how many soldiers and horses, how much grain and grass will it lose at that time? ”

Yuan Shao's heart jumped.

"My lord, but after we have lost countless grains, grass, soldiers and horses, how can we compete with Cao Cao? If Cao Cao's army comes to attack, what should he do? ”

Yuan Shaoshen nodded approvingly.

Xu You was secretly happy in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot: "My subordinates think that the purpose of this battle has been achieved, the lord has recaptured Hangu Pass, and the situation on the west side of Luoyang has greatly improved, and he only needs to garrison heavy troops at Hangu Pass to stifle Lu Bu's ambition to advance eastward!" Our army should divert its main energy to the Central Plains, defeat Cao Cao, hold the Central Plains in the palm of your hand, and then engage with Lu Bu and capture Guanzhong and Xiliang! ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "Ziyuan's theory is higher than frustration!" Okay, just do as you want, and immediately send orders to all armies, the same day division! "No." Xu You was quite proud in his heart.

Fu Zhu, Zhang Jaw and others were planning an attack plan, and at this moment, Yuan Shao's order came, ordering them to stay one step and garrison Shouyang Mountain, and the rest of the army immediately took division.

Frustrated, he punched the table and said angrily: "This must be a bad idea for the lord!" He turned his head and said to Zhang Jaw: "This is handed over to you, don't withdraw the troops for the time being, I'll go to see the lord." Then he hurriedly left the big tent, called a horse, stepped on the horse, and led dozens of guards to leave the barracks in a hurry.
