"At the beginning, this was an opportunity, a great opportunity, and one that should not be missed1

Xu You's words were a little urgent, Yuan Shao's development in the past two years can be said to be quite difficult, many problems have gradually been exposed, so that Xu You realizes that there seems to be a problem at the root of Yuan Shao, but what is the problem at the root, Xu You can't figure it out, in Xu You's view, the solution to the current internal problems is precisely on the outside, as long as the enemy can be successfully defeated, then with the rise of Yuan Shao's prestige and the improvement of strength, the internal problems will naturally dissipate invisibly.

Therefore, when Xu You found out that Wen Chou had thwarted Han Sui's surprise attack and created a great opportunity for Yuan Shao to attack, he was inevitably a little excited.

Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, he also saw this, Han Sui dangled a shot in Yuancheng, and then concentrated his forces to raid Wen Chou, he didn't expect Wen Chou to hit the opponent hard under the bad situation, and he also stuck his heels under Dong'e City, and stuck Han Sui, who originally tried to use mobility to intersperse back and forth, in Dong'e, this is definitely an opportunity.

.

"Hehe, Ziyuan is right, but how to make good use of this opportunity and get the most benefits is the key1

"The so-called greatest interest, for our army, is to completely defeat Han Sui, recapture the land stolen by Han Sui, and completely push the battle line south of the Yellow River1

Yuan Shao slapped his thigh: "That's right, that's it!" So. Ladies and gentlemen, how can we take advantage of this great opportunity to make this vision a reality? ”

"My lord. The subordinates thought that they should take advantage of Han Sui's sticky Dong'e to launch a comprehensive counterattack in Hebei, storm Dunqiu, Yangping and Dangyin with thunder, encircle and annihilate Han Sui's troops in Hebei, cut off one of Han Sui's arms, and then seek to cross the river to attack. Without the depth of the battle, Han Sui was undoubtedly defeated1

The opinions of the trial are quite radical and quite demagogic. Even Yuan Shao was thrilled when he heard it.

"However, if our army attacks in an all-out way, then the direction of Yuancheng, Anyang, and Liaocheng will be quite empty, and will the enemy take advantage of the weakness to enter 1

Guo Tu's concerns are not unreasonable. This concern is like a basin of ice water. Splashed on everyone's somewhat hot heads, compared with the possible victory, the possible losses are also real, and the benefits after the victory may not fall directly into their own pockets, but once they suffer losses, it is to cut flesh and bloodlet from their own bodies!

The judge glanced at everyone, and there was a look of contempt in the corners of his eyes. Xu Yu sighed in his heart, when wealth became a burden. It can indeed trap people's hands and feet, block people's sight, and make people unable to see the problems and dangers in the distance, and only know that they are clinging to the immediate interests.

"If the skin does not have hair, will it be attached? Even if Han Sui is a scoundrel, how long can he toss when Hebei has no foundation? This is a matter of enduring the pain of a moment, as long as we completely defeat Han Sui and the defense line of the Yellow River returns to the control of our army, then Hebei can be completely stabilized. In order to get this one-and-done result, I think the appropriate amount of effort should be bearable1

Guo Tu twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji didn't mean to speak, he knew that if he spoke out at this time, he would be a little disregarding the overall situation, Guo Tu and Xiao Ji didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to object easily.

Yuan Shao thought about it, what he said was undoubtedly very reasonable, but looking at everyone's worried looks, Yuan Shao sighed and said: "Han Sui is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but we can't fight a bad battle like him, if we can, we should try to reduce unnecessary losses, and try to find a way to achieve the goal without suffering too much loss, isn't your wisdom used at this time." ”

"What the lord said was very true, and his subordinates thought that we could use the method of focusing on the attack, trying to attract the main force of the enemy army to a certain place, and then besiege it, so that there would be no losses in the attack! Moreover, it can also fully limit the mobility of the enemy's troops, in fact, General Wen Chou's practice in Dong'e is not the concrete embodiment of this style of play? ”

Xiao Ji finally made a statement, after all these years of training, Xiao Ji has become more and more calm, although it seems to be a lot more low-key, but there is also a realm where words must be true, words must have things, so a good opponent is like a whetstone, can sharpen you more sharp, Xu You is the whetstone.

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and nodded, this idea was more in line with his own mind, but Yuan Shao was not busy making a decision: "Ziyuan, what do you think?" ”

"This works! Restricting the mobility of the opponent's main force with a place that must be saved is of course quite a clever way of playing, but this kind of play is quite limited in the killing force of the enemy's vital forces, and even the enemy can cross to the south calmly when he sees that the situation is not good, after all, we have no control over the Yellow River at all. ”

"Speaking of which, my lord, can you contact Fang Zhiwen and ask him to order Zhao Fu to cut off the north and south of the Yellow River, so that Han Sui's troops in Hebei are likely to collapse without a fight, which is very beneficial to our army."

"Don't expect it, Fang Zhiwen will definitely not agree, and even if he agrees, he will not seriously implement it, the Yellow River is so long, it is impossible for Zhao Fu's little water army to completely block it."

Yuan Shao thought about it, Xu You's words were right, if Fang Zhiwen wanted to support himself, he would have blocked the Yellow River a long time ago, so that Han Sui would automatically and consciously withdraw from the south of the Yellow River, but Fang Zhiwen didn't do it, what his purpose was, I don't know.

"Ziyuan said very much, Fang Zhiwen has ill intentions, he will definitely not watch us defeat Han Sui easily, for Fang Zhiwen, weakening the strength of our army is an idea that he has never given up, just count on him! If he doesn't stab the knife in the back, the official burns high incense. ”

"Hehe, in fact, he has been stabbing all the time, and in Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Jinan, Leling and other counties, there have always been cases of people fleeing, if it weren't for our severe punishment of fleeing, these neighboring counties may be empty."

Xu You said lightly, so that the ministers present had a clear understanding of Fang Zhiwen's insidiousness, Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You with satisfaction, it is necessary to ring the jǐng bell for everyone often, otherwise these guys will also be co-opted by Xiao En Xiaohui who trades with Youzhou.

"Everyone knows this matter, let's still discuss the right thing, since we have decided to focus on attacking, then where does Zhengnan think the attack is most appropriate?"

The interrogator replied almost without thinking: "Lord, of course, it is to attack Dangyin, take down Dangyin, there is no threat to our army's flanks, and you can even attack Dunqiu on both sides, and if you lose it, Han Sui basically has no means to threaten Yecheng, and the general trend of attack and defense is exchanged, and our army firmly grasps the initiative on the battlefield, so my subordinates think that they should take Dangyin first." ”

Yuan Shao glanced at it, and it seemed that everyone agreed with this conclusion, attacking from Anyang to Dangyin, at most drawing an army from Yecheng, or Yuan Shao could also personally go out into battle, storm Dangyin with a strong attitude, and pull the Chenggong Ying Department operating in the east back to Dangyin for a decisive battle.

"At the beginning, it was best to send an envoy to Luoyang again, if the iron army could attack Puyang in a timely manner, the effect would be better, in addition, it would be better for Gongsun Chan to have a look, I'm afraid Han Sui and Gongsun Chan also communicated."

Yuan Shao's eyes froze, his brows wrinkled slightly, Gongsun Chan has been immersed in the development and recuperation in Bingzhou in the past two years, which gradually brought Yuan Shao a sense of threat, and even a little like a feeling of being on his back, especially the stronghold of the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain, which is now in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, which makes Yuan Shao more and more dissatisfied.

"Well, this is possible, but it's hard to say whether the Iron Army will do it1

"Definitely, this situation of Han Sui is not very good now, Tie Jun and Liu Bei will not miss this opportunity."

"Okay, today

It was thus agreed that everyone should immediately prepare according to this strategy, Ming

ì order open jaw first, no

ì I will lead a large army south and retake Dangyin1

"No1

"Tiger head, what do you think of Yuan Shao's suggestion?"

"How do you look at it, of course it's a fight! How can you let go of such a good opportunity, now there is only one army of Liang Xing in Puyang City, and he is a cavalry general guarding the city? It's just a joke, in front of our heavy infantry formation, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry defending the city is a joke 1

"But Liu Bei, that guy hasn't spoken out yet?"

"We don't have to wait for him to agree, we will report and act at the same time, his idea is nothing more than worrying that we will become bigger, but now that we are only the three cities of Yanxian, Chaoge and Baima, how much of a threat can we pose to them? Although this person's heart is a little small, he can still grasp the overall situation, now Han Sui is the focus, Cao Cao is the focus, and we have no threat at all1

"Hehe, does the tiger head want to be bigger?"

"Of course there is, but it's difficult, take your time, I hope that in the future battle of the top three in the Central Plains, we can get more benefits."

"So Han Sui is our current target?"

"No, it's not Han Sui, it's Puyang, we just need Puyang, as for Han Sui's territory, we can't control it at all, so let's let Yuan Shao come to this matter of eliminating Han Sui, let's let Yuan Shao come, we should cooperate with Liu Bei to attack Jiyin, if we can get Jiyin back, it will be a good thing for us, at least, there is a relatively stable rear."

"Aren't you afraid that Liu Bei will stab us chrysanthemums?"

"Liu Bei doesn't dare! Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not extinguished, Liu Bei will not touch us, rest assured 1

"Second brother, do you want to fight or not?"

"Big brother, of course it's fighting, attack Puyang, as soon as possible 1

"Haha, okay, I'll be a pioneer 1

At the beginning of August, Zhang Jaw rode 60,000 out of Anyang and launched an attack on Dangyin

ì, the iron army came out of the white horse and rode to Puyang with 40,000 steps, Han Sui was attacked on three sides, and the situation was critical!
