Yuan Shao scolded in anger. And when the words fell, soon a soldier with armor walked in and held Feng Ji left and right.

Faced with this situation, Feng Ji was indeed not in a hurry or annoyed, but on the contrary, he let the soldiers do it, but when he looked at Yuan Shao, he had a little more pity. He seems to have seen that in the near future, this person will be killed because of this good-looking character.

"My lord, no. Thinking about it, Yuantu also rose in a hurry, this idea is really not what he thinks in his heart. Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to behead Feng Ji angrily, Wang Xiu, Chen Lin and others among the ministers hurriedly stood up to intercede for him.

These two people have some dealings with Feng Ji on weekdays, and they can't do it when they see each other die without saying anything.

As Wang Xiu and Chen Lin stood up, after the other ministers looked at each other, they all stood up to intercede for them, even Guo Tu, who was usually very disdainful, also stood up.

To say that these Wenchen did this, they didn't want to save Fengji, but they were also thinking about themselves.

Think about it, Yuan Shao can angrily behead Feng Ji today, so will he also behead them next time? The so-called rabbit death and fox sorrow is like this, they plead for the sake of not ending up in this fate one day.

And as all the ministers stood up to intercede, Yuan Shao's head was much clearer this time.

He knew that at this time, he would never be able to beat all the Wenchen to death with a stick, otherwise, who would he point to to give him ideas in the future? Thinking of this, his angry face has subsided a lot, but Feng Ji must have publicly said that he wanted to surrender to Zhang Chao, and it was obviously not possible not to punish him. Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, for the sake of the ministers interceding for you, I will spare you first." Someone is coming, send it to prison, lock it up first, and talk about it. ”

Yuan Shao doesn't kill Feng Ji, but it is indispensable to be locked up, at least he wants to tell everyone that whoever is saying the word surrender will end up like this.

Feng Ji was dragged down and sent to prison. Next, Yuan Shao looked at everyone, and saw that everyone was afraid, knowing that there would be no result if he asked, so he said a little discouragedly: "Okay, you all go down first." If anyone has any good ideas, see me at any time. ”

"No." All the ministers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then retreated without pulling one of them, obviously they all knew that the lord at this time was the most irritable, and for the safety of his life, it was better not to provoke him.

The ministers retreated, leaving Yuan Shao alone behind the case with a look of grief on their faces. He didn't know why he was in the current situation, could he really not be the opponent of Zhang Chao and Cao Cao?

The meeting convened by Yuan Shao did not come to a result, which made the generals from all walks of life have no idea for a while, and in the face of the retreat of Zhang Chao's army, they could not advance or retreat, and the situation was stalemate for a while.

...... ......

Believing the words of Xu You and Xun Chen, Cao Cao sent 200,000 troops to occupy the three counties of Yangping.

This also made Cao Cao excited, and when he was complacent about his fisherman's actions, Xun Yu, an important strategist around him, did ask a question, that is, to be careful of Yuan Shao and Zhang Chao.

Regarding Xun Yu's careful precautions, Cao Cao did not pay attention to it.

Let's talk about Yuan Shao first, he has been entangled by Zhang Chao, and he still has insufficient strength in the face of an enemy? Not to mention being your enemy.

As for Zhang Chao, where does he still have the strength to threaten him now? This time, in order to make Zhang Zhiyuan flawless, he sent 400,000 heavy troops led by Xiahoudun himself, and the troops were stationed next to Luoyang, where Zhang He's Fourth Legion, Xu Rong's Sixth Legion and Zhang Liao's Seventh Legion were entangled.

Without these forces, Zhang Chao, where can he still divide his troops against himself? Even if he has a heart, he is powerless.

It is precisely because of these reliance that Cao Cao will be so relieved to capture the three counties of Yangping, which no one is calm. It's just that fortunately, he was not carried away by the victory, he just let Cao Hong lead the army to occupy there, and he really didn't mean to go deeper into Jizhou.

It was this move that saved me.

Because just when Cao Cao thought that he had reaped the benefits of a fisherman, news suddenly came that Zhang Chao's army suddenly captured Yan County and was attacking Junyi City. And once this city is lost, I am afraid that Chen Liu's next will be dangerous.

"What's going on? Where did Zhang Chao's army come from, aren't all his people trapped by me, and are they still dealing with Yuan Shao? Cao Cao was naturally a hundred unwilling to believe it, although he knew that the battle report could not be fake, and no one would have the audacity to joke about such a thing, but he still asked with doubts.

"It's the vanguard army of 150,000 led by Lu Bu." Xun Yu, who was holding the battle report, said with a sigh.

He thought that Zhang Chao's advantage was not easy to take advantage of, but considering that the other party had no soldiers to send, he might really be able to give it a try. But now that he knows, this Zhang Zhiyuan has clearly been guarding against it from the beginning.

To say that among the four-way army that attacked Yuan Shao, its combat power and strength vanguard corps are the most top-notch, but why have they never started and have not made any progress? It turned out that the 200,000 army staring at Yan Liang was fake, and it was real to defend himself.

Xun Yu's words fell, and Cao Cao was stunned when he heard it, and then he obviously thought of something, and immediately said: "This Zhang Zhiyuan is really doing things without revealing anything." ”

Listening to Cao Cao admiring Zhang Chao, Xun Yu did sigh and said: "Prime Minister, now Junyi City is in danger, if you don't send troops to reinforce, I'm afraid that Chen will not be able to protect it, in this way, it is very likely that the vanguard army will go straight in, they are all cavalry, and it may even directly threaten the safety of Xu Du, or turn behind General Cao Hong, and leave it in the three counties of Yangping." ”

This is exactly what Xun Yu is worried about, thinking about who Lu Bu is, and the cavalry he leads, if he is allowed to enter his own territory to fight, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xun Yuzhi's worry was also Cao Caozhi's worry, thinking that he couldn't let Lu Bu run around in his belly, he asked out loud, "What soldiers do we have in our hands now?" ”

"Prime Minister, there are still troops, but they are too far apart, I'm afraid it's too late to call them temporarily. Only General Cao Hong has 200,000 soldiers, but he can effectively return to defense. Xun Yu thought about it for a while and then gave a round.

"No, as soon as Cao Hong retreats, isn't it equivalent to giving up the land of the three counties? Then how can we still occupy Jizhou? Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, obviously wanting to spit out the fat in his mouth, but he was a little unwilling.

"My lord, that's all there is to it now." Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao was still thinking about seizing Jizhou, and he couldn't help but make a little louder.

"Is that the only way? Can General Xiahoudun transfer some troops there? Cao Cao asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid it won't work, he needs to defend Zhang Chao's fourth, sixth and seventh legions, if he moves, the defense there will be weak, and it is likely that there will be problems." Xun Yu thought about it for a while, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

Obviously, Zhang Chao also saw the tension of Cao Cao's current troops, so he made this move.

"Then what if Xiahou Yuan, who attacked Liu Bei, is transferred back?" Hearing that Xiahoudun couldn't do it, Cao Cao thought of other ways.

"Prime Minister, it's too late. Besides, if Liu Bei knows these things, I'm afraid that Guan Yu will also entangle us, and once any flaws are revealed and found by the other party, I am afraid that the loss will only be greater. Xun Yu continued to shake his head and said.

Listening to it still not work, Cao Cao was also a little annoyed, and left the hall with a flick of his sleeves, and his voice also echoed in the hall at this time, "This is not good, that is not good, what do you want?" ”

Obviously, Cao Cao was a little disappointed with Xun Yu's performance today. After he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went to Xi Zhicai's mansion, and he was still determined to consult with this chief strategist.

At this time, Xi Zhicai, due to his serious condition, had already been bedridden for many days.

The face was pale, the original light in his eyes had completely disappeared, and the whole person looked much older.

When the sound of the prime minister outside the door sounded, he, who was originally lying in bed, also opened his eyes after coughing a few times in a row.

Xi Zhicai is indeed very sick. In history, he had already died, and it was Zhang Chao's appearance that made his life unexpected.

Cao Cao entered the inner room in a compliment, and saw Xi Zhicai who was about to get up with all his strength, and immediately his face changed and he took a few steps forward, and hugged the other party and said: "Zhicai, you are sick, you don't need to salute, quickly, lie down." ”

After helping Xi Zhicai to lie down again, Cao Cao turned around angrily and said to the few people in the theater standing behind him: "How did you do it, are all the doctors you found eating dry rice?" ”

"Prime Minister, I'll be damned." was reprimanded by Cao Cao, and the people in the theater who seemed to be in charge of affairs all knelt on the ground, obviously they were afraid that the prime minister would behead them in anger.

"Lord, don't blame them, my own body knows it, I'm afraid it won't be long." But Xi Zhicai grabbed Cao Cao with one hand and said very hard.

"Come, Zhicai, don't be discouraged, I'll find you a famous doctor all over the country, you believe me, your body will be fine." Seeing that he, an important adviser, would be so laborious to say a word out loud because of his health, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and hated Zhang Chaolai.

If it weren't for Zhang Chao abducting Zhang Zhongjing, Xi Zhicai would not have been so sick, and he wouldn't have found someone to discuss when something happened.
