Under Fang Zhiwen's thunderous blow, Cao Cao was caught off guard, and as a result, the battle situation collapsed completely, causing Cao Cao to fully withdraw from Yanzhou, and then rearrange the defense line in Huainan and the eastern part of Qian County, Peiguo, Liang State, and Chen County, in order to stabilize the position first and then talk about anything else.

Cao Cao's stride retreat saved Yuan Shao, who was originally facing collapse, Yuan Shao eased up, while stepping up the delivery of supplementary troops and supplies, and at the same time he boldly gave up the defense of Puyang and other places, and threw all the soldiers at hand into the counterattack, quickly recaptured the land and population that had been lost, and pushed the battle line back to the southern end of Yanzhou, returning to the situation before the war.

However, based on the exchange agreement with Fang Zhiwen, Yuan Shao has also begun to transfer the population to Yanzhou on a large scale, and the nearest ones are naturally Le'an and Jinan County, which quickly enriched into Yanzhou, bringing infinite vitality to the originally desolate Yanzhou, and also greatly relieving Yuan Shao's logistical pressure, greatly improving Yanzhou's defense capability.

Even if Fang Zhiwen suddenly withdrew his troops at this time, and Cao Cao fought with his backhand, it would not be better than before, this is the power of the population effect, so the side with a small population attacks the side with a large population, and it often ends in failure.

Of course, Yuan Shao's own war potential cannot be ignored, but he was caught off guard by Cao Cao before, and he was not compensated for in time in the case of a large number of mobile losses. Of course, there are also factors that the objective situation in Yanzhou is not very good.

In short, with the help of Fang Zhiwen. Now that Yuan Shao has relieved his breath, more importantly, Yuan Shao is immigrating to Yanzhou on a large scale, and has made up his mind to build Yanzhou into his new base camp, the whole mentality and momentum are different, and this mentality will also faithfully respond on the battlefield, Cao Jun found in the contact battle that Yuan Shao's troops are more tenacious and more aggressive.

Yuan Shao's recent mood can be said to be very good. It can also be said that it is not good, in short, quite complicated.

It is difficult for outsiders to know what he thinks in his heart, but it is nothing more than a reluctance to Jizhou, the expectation of the Central Plains of Yanzhou, and the complex feelings formed by the hatred and fear of Fang Zhiwen. What kind of mood he is in now actually has no impact on the overall situation. Since the Jizhou clan has approved this plan and is determined to transform his identity from the Jizhou clan to the Central Plains clan, under this general trend, Yuan Shao cannot have any other ideas.

Back to Dingtao, this time. Yuan Shao planned to take Dingtao as his nest, so a large number of people concentrated in Dingtao, and soon made the Dingtao City, which originally seemed a little depressed, lively, standing on the high-rise building overlooking, there are already some scenes in the city that the giant city should have.

"Hey! ~" Yuan Shao patted the freshly painted wooden fence vigorously. I don't know what I'm sighing about, and the subordinates behind him naturally have their own guesses.

"Why did I feel emotionally at the beginning, 1 provocation, I was anxious, I pushed Cape Nai to give > to the mystery, and I was paralyzed? p> "I don't know either, I just feel a depression in my heart, and I don't vomit unpleasantly, Ziyuan knows why?"

"Hehe, welcome the new and go to the old, looking at the new city will inevitably think of the old city, nostalgia for the past, is human nature, but I have heard strangers often say, always chattering about the past, feeling the people of the past, are all old people, this is called twilight 1

Yuan Shao's face darkened, did Xu Yu deliberately disgust himself!? Lethargy!? Now that he has entered the Central Plains, it is the time to show his ambitions, how can he describe it as twilight, isn't this cursing himself.

"Hmph1

"Lord, now that our army has only entered the Central Plains, it is the time to open the world, when we should rise up and strive to move forward, why do we say it in the twilight, Lord Xu's words are open to discussion1

"Discuss? The subordinates felt that this was Hu Yan 1 Xiao Ji's unceremonious direct accusation, and he finally caught Xu Yu with a sore foot, and Xiao Ji fell into the well in a timely manner.

Xu You glanced at everyone with disdain, and smiled indifferently: "As for it, I don't just relay the words of the stranger, to give you a fresh listen, you don't want to listen to it, but you can't help but listen, anyone can have twilight, but the original is not good, the battle for the deer does not advance or retreat, and now the original is about to enter the Central Plains, must not be complacent, give birth to conservative retreat, at this time should be more courageous and enterprising, but there is still effort here to remember the past and the present, is it not a big mistake 1."

Yuan Shao opened his mouth, it turned out that Xu You wanted to persuade himself, but this way was really uncomfortable, but Yuan Shao couldn't help but express it.

"What Ziyuan said is all good words, and the official has been taught! That's right, now is the time to do a lot, how can I have time to sigh here, Yanzhou is initially decided, the affairs are complicated, and there are thousands of things, everyone go and get busy, there is no need to spend time here, Ziyuan and stay for a while, the official still has important things to discuss. ”

"No1

A group of subordinates have said goodbye, speaking of which, everyone has a lot of things at hand, not to mention anything else, it takes a lot of effort just to divide the property in Dingtao City, so everyone hurriedly went to go, and watched these guys leave with care, looked back at Yuan Shao, and just saw the stars in Yuan Shao's eyes flashing away.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the scene in the city, and said casually: "Ziyuan, now that the entire territory of Yanzhou has been restored, should we continue to attack the Cao army?" ”

"At the beginning, didn't I say it just now, at this time, we must not retreat conservatively, we are waiting for Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen is not a fool, now he has taken the entire territory of Xuzhou, but he has not advanced in Xuzhou, watching the Cao army shrink its defense and improve the eastern and northern defense lines of Yuzhou, isn't it obvious that he doesn't want us to take advantage! If our army doesn't move, Fang Zhiwen won't move, will it be Fang Zhiwen who suffers in the end? ”

"Well, it's true, if the war is delayed, it will definitely be our army that suffers, since this is the case, then we must speed up the follow-up troops, put the troops on the front line as soon as possible, and launch an offensive."

"This is certain, what I want to say is that this command may as well be handed over to the Miyun Staff Department."

"What?! Why is this, will our army not be able to fight? ”

"No, I misunderstood at the beginning, it wasn't because of this concern that I had to hand over the command to Fang Zhiwen, nor because Fang Zhiwen was better able to fight than us, the main reason was that after handing over the command to them, they would have no excuse for delaying, and it would be most beneficial for us to take the Central Plains as soon as possible."

Yuan Shao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but although Xu You's words were not good, they were also the truth, he was indeed not as good as Fang Zhiwen, otherwise wouldn't the name of this god of war fall on his head! What made him care more was the reason behind it, if this could make Fang Zhiwen speed up the pace of the attack, it would naturally be a good thing.

"Okay, let's inform Fang Zhiwen of this matter, just say that our troops will be in place within three days and can be put into battle at any time."

"I calculated, in the direction of Chenliu, we have a total of 100,000 troops with trial and jaws, in Jiyin, Shanyang, if Benchu also participates in the war, there are Benchu and Wenchou with a total of 150,000 troops, in Lujun and Taishan, Yan Liang and Gao Gan have a total of 100,000 troops, and there is no problem at all in three days, plus Lu Bu's 20,000 cavalry, the troops on the northern front should be able to confront Cao Cao head-on, relatively speaking, the eastern front is still a breakthrough, if Fang Zhiwen really fights with his heart, he should choose the northern front to oppress and complete the breakthrough from the eastern front, Then destroy the opponent's northern front, so there is no need to worry too much about the losses of our army in the first place, there will definitely be losses, but not so big that it is difficult for me to accept. ”

Yuan Shaohu looked at Xu You suspiciously: "What does Ziyuan want to say?" ”

"I want to say that since you have handed over the command, you really have to follow the order, don't scruple about this and that, and engage in the act of acting in the way of yang and yin, which will not only be ugly at that time, but may also give Fang Zhiwen an excuse to slow down the pace of the attack, and the losses will be greater at that time, so you must think clearly at the beginning, and don't lose more than you gain."

"What if Fang Zhiwen intends to let our army be a shield?"

Xu You showed a really such expression, and said slightly: "I have just said, we have to look at the overall situation, even if Fang Zhiwen kills all our 350,000 troops, as long as we take the Central Plains as soon as possible, the soldiers are not a problem, and we can replenish them soon, on the contrary, if the war is delayed, you will calculate it yourself at the beginning, which of the gains and losses is more cost-effective?" What's more, even if Fang Zhiwen uses our troops as a shield, do you think he will send all our troops to death? ”

"Uh, this"

Looking at Yuan Shao's hesitant appearance, Xu You really has a feeling of hating iron and steel, this is really all about it, why can't Yuan Shao understand it, this truth is not difficult to understand, Yuan Shao is so hesitant that it is not a matter of understanding, but a matter of mentality, how can such a small family become a big thing!

"Ziyuan, can't this set up a coalition command? In this way, we also have some say, and we will not be completely without a little initiative1

"Originally, do you think that if you hand over the command to Fang Zhiwen, he will not coordinate with us at all? Also, if a coalition command is established, it will be a place for the two sides to quarrel, and it takes a lot of time and energy to bargain every day, and all kinds of trivial things can be taken out to argue, is this interesting? Or was this result needed in the first place? ”

Yuan Shao groaned when he heard this, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the railing, and his brows were frowning tightly.

Zinc rake, blinking, has jumped into the ∮, and has jumped into the situation, and the situation is twilight, and the twilight is sang, and the argon is broken, and the window is broken, and the window is broken. p> Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu dissatisfied, is this forcing the palace? But this suggestion is also very reasonable, but what if Fang Zhiwen is bad, what should I do if I give myself a bite behind my back?

Xu You caught a glimpse of Yuan Shao's expression, and the heart in his heart suddenly dissipated without a trace, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the scene in the city, and had no interest in continuing to speak. To be continued...
