Liyang, the city lord's mansion.

"Lord, it's not a way to wait like this, is it possible that Zhao Zilong has been cowering in the barracks, and we can't just accompany them like this?" Ju Yi said with some irritability.

Not only him, in this meeting hall, many generals and even strategists have a somewhat irritable mood on their faces, the three-way army led by Zhao Yun in Longcheng has arrived in Liyang three days ago and started a confrontation with Yuan Shao's army, but the strange thing is that after Zhao Yun arrived, he did not attack, but set up camp and set up a village, and then ......

Then there was no then, for three days in a row, Zhao Yun did not move, Yuan Shao's side, Yan Liangwen Chou and other generals took turns to call the formation, and even scolded the formation, but Zhao Yun was as stable as Mount Tai, which made Yuan Shao anxious.

With so many troops, the daily consumption of grain and grass alone is an astronomical amount, of course, grain and grass is not a big deal for Yuan Shao, this is Jizhou, local battles, plus Yuan Shao and the previous Han Fu accumulated a heritage, and there is a huge Jizhou to support, although the three counties are temporarily lost, but with this consumption alone, it will not make Yuan Shao poor.

But his family knows their own affairs, Yuan Shao and the civil and military under his account are very clear about the predicament they are facing at the moment, Yecheng is occupied, although in a short period of time, the news is suppressed by them, but the longer the time drags on, the greater the risk of leaking the news, and more importantly, the impact of Yecheng's occupation on the entire Jizhou situation, if Li Xuan cannot be driven out of Jizhou in a short period of time, the blow to Yuan Shao will not be as simple as it seems.

Think about it, even if your core city is occupied by others, you can't get it back, and what ability can you have to pacify the world, this is definitely a major blow to Yuan Shao's prestige, and the longer it drags on, the confidence of the officials and generals in Jizhou will continue to lose to Yuan Shao. Moreover, Li Xuan also had more time to sort out Yecheng, and it would be more difficult to take it back.

"Then I don't know, do you have any high opinions that can help me take down Zhao Yun?" Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and terrifying, suppressing the anger in his heart. looked at the crowd of civil and military personnel.

Take down Zhao Yun?

Everyone's brows couldn't help frowning a little tighter, not to mention that the opponent's strength is not much different from their own, just Zhao Yun's attitude of not fighting to the death makes people have a toothache, and everyone on the other side has seen it, it can be said to be impeccable, at least these Yuan Shao's think tanks and a group of battle-hardened generals present can't think of a good way to crack it except for a strong attack.

Xu You frowned and said, "I don't know if you have ever thought about it. Why can't Zhao Zilong stick to it? ”

What why? Yuan Shao couldn't help but look at Xu You, a little dissatisfied, and now he was thinking about how to break the enemy.

Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Xu You smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and food has always been purchased from outside, even if it has captured the three counties of Jizhou now." But most of my grain and grass in Jizhou are stored in Yecheng and Nanpi. The three counties themselves don't have much grain and grass, this time the Longcheng three-way army, hundreds of thousands of people, the consumption of grain and grass is not a small amount, we can afford it, but Zhao Zilong can definitely not afford this consumption. Therefore, if I were Zhao Zilong, I would definitely take the initiative to attack, and a quick victory is the right way, and Zhao Zilong has experienced a hundred battles. He shouldn't have understood the point, but he did the opposite! ”

"It's a bit weird about this." When Feng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, looked at Xu Yu and said, "Ziyuan means ......" There are some thoughts in his heart, but Feng Ji is not sure.

"There are two reasons!" Xu You said in a deep voice: "First, in Li Xuan's hands, there are forces that we don't know about secretly supporting, so that he doesn't have to worry about grain and grass, but hundreds of thousands of army grain and grass, looking at the world, even if someone wants to deal with us secretly, they will definitely not be able to take out such a huge amount of grain and grass to support Li Xuan!" ”

In other words, this first possible reason is infinitely close to zero, Yuan Shao frowned and said, "What about the second reason?" ”

"The second reason is that Li Xuan has a bigger plan!" Xu You took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can we explain Zhao Zilong's abnormal behavior, because his purpose is not to defeat us, but to contain our main force, and at the same time, to attract our attention, so that Li Xuan has enough energy and more time to carry out his deeper plan!" ”

Deeper planning?

When everyone heard this, including Yuan Shao, they couldn't help but gasp, since the start of the war, Li Xuan has obtained the two states in one fell swoop, and it accounts for one-third of the land and population of Jizhou, these gains alone are enough to make Li Xuan become the strongest prince today, and now the other party has further plans, although I don't know the content, but the people present are not stupid, and if there is a plan, it can only be the whole territory of Jizhou.

Thinking of this possibility, everyone's hearts were even more amazed, this courage and appetite are really staggering, they actually want to annex the two princes in one go!

If Gongsun Chan is not the top prince among the princes of Fang today, then Yuan Shao is a real overlord, the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, and the rich land of Jizhou, the strategists under the account are like clouds, fierce generals are like rain, and the soldiers are fierce, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first prince, and it is not an exaggeration to swallow Gongsun Chan in one breath, although it is surprising, but it is not unacceptable, after all, Gongsun Chan himself is not enough, and he lost the lead in killing Liu Yu in righteousness, even if General Baima can be called a famous general in the world, but all kinds of factors add up, and Yuan Shao cannot be compared, And Li Xuan actually wanted to eat the entire Jizhou in one go after annexing Gongsun Zhan, which is simply crazy.

"Although I don't want to believe it, but at the moment, there is only this one explanation, which makes sense!" Xu You shook his head with a wry smile.

"Then I don't know what strategy Ziyuan can teach me?" Yuan Shao took a deep breath and looked at Xu Youdao.

"Zhao Yun's army is difficult to break through in a hurry, but the minister guesses that on the Yecheng side, Li Xuan probably doesn't have many soldiers and horses, so why not send a general to lead the division all the way to recapture Yecheng first?" Xu You said: "After all, not long after Li Xuan seized my Yecheng, most of the people and squires in the city are interested in our army, as long as the reinforcements arrive, Yecheng will be in chaos without a fight!" ”

"Ziyuan thinks, who can be the general?" Yuan Shaodao.

"The general Ju Yi can take on this responsibility!" Xu You said in a deep voice, in fact, under Yuan Shao's account, although there are many fierce generals, they can lead an army alone like Zhao Yun. But there are not many, at least in Xu You's opinion, Yan Liangwen is ugly and brave, but the marching formation can only be said to be middle and upper, and the previous Zhang He is also one that Xu You is very optimistic about. Pity...... At present, by Yuan Shao's side, only Ju Yi is out of the horse, and Xu You is the most assured.

"The last general is going to fight!" Ju Yi took a step, his eyes flashing with excitement, and said loudly.

"Although Yuan Rong is brave, this battle is not trivial, I am afraid that Yuan Rong alone is not enough to take on the big responsibility, Yan Liang!" Yuan Shao touched his beard under the remains. Deep voice.

"The last general!" Yan Liang took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"In this battle, Yan Liang will be the main general, supplemented by Yuan Rong, lead 50,000 elites, and recapture Yecheng!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!" Yan Liang nodded in agreement, but on the side, Ju Yi's face was not very good-looking.

The corners of Xu You's mouth moved, but he looked at Yuan Shao with a determined expression. Finally sighed slightly and did not speak again. He could see that Yuan Shao was a little afraid of Ju Yi, in the previous battle of the boundary bridge, Yuan Shao was beaten to the ground by Gongsun Zhan, and then Ju Yi made a move, and he broke Gongsun Zhan with three thousand halberds. Probably since then, Yuan Shao has begun to be afraid of Ju Yi, this is a figure that Yuan Shao cannot fully control, or rather, Yuan Shao does not have the confidence to control this person.

Giant deer. Gwangjong.

Even if he has completely controlled the real power of Guangzong, Gao Ran still has a sense of unreality like falling into a dream, and he thought it would take a lot of effort, but it was solved like this?

Thinking of the strange scene three days ago, when he killed all the way to the city lord's mansion, as well as Wu Jin's corpse, and the scene of the purple-haired girl with purple hair flying and a quiet face with an elegant smile standing in the middle of a corpse in the sun, Gao Ran felt a cold air rising from his bones.

He has also seen Wu Jin's corpse, and before he made a move, he was slashed with a knife, which was a real, second-rate military general who fought out of the battlefield, even if he looked at himself, he didn't dare to say that he could kill it in seconds, but he was killed by the woman in front of him who had always been decent and generous in dealing with people and things, and had a noble temperament.

"The fifteen counties of Julu County have now all been controlled by our army, Poison Island Hall Master, I don't know what suggestions I have next?" Although he is considered the temporary supreme governor here, subconsciously, Gao Ran still asked for the opinion of Poison Island Tsuneko before making a decision.

"The Dark Hall is only responsible for intelligence gathering and military assistance when necessary, and the Dark Hall has no right to intervene in military and political affairs." Shaking his head gently, Poison Island Tsuneko looked at Gao Ran with a smile and said: "General Gao doesn't have to worry, Tsunza has followed the master for many years, and the master has never missed it, since the master has entrusted General Gao with a heavy responsibility, General Gao must have something extraordinary, just let it go, if there is a place where I need to make a secret move, General Gao will say that it doesn't matter, and I will fully cooperate." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Gao Ran nodded, Poison Island Tsuneko was here, which really made him feel depressed, although the identities of the two should be regarded as equal, and Poison Island Tsuko's smile also made people feel like a spring breeze, but this woman's aura made Gao Ran a little stunned.

"If there is nothing important, the son will retire first." Poison Island Tsuneko bowed lightly to Gao Ran and smiled.

"I'll send the girl to you." Gao Ran hurriedly said.

With a chuckle, Poison Island Tsuneko did not refuse, accompanied by Gao Ran, he left the City Lord's Mansion and refused Gao Ran's proposal to send someone to escort him, the Dark Hall has its own strongholds in all major cities, and Poison Island Ranzi lives in these strongholds most of the time, as for the specific location of the stronghold, in the system that Li Xuan has established now, in addition to Li Xuan and the three hall masters of the Dark Hall, even the ministers of the Great Yan do not know.

Yecheng, Military Aircraft House.

Although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, the two important figures who were focused on by Li Xuan, were not packed up and imprisoned in Yecheng Prison like other military aircraft officials, and even accompanied by the warriors of the Secret Hall, they could go out, Li Xuan did not hide the two of them from the outside world, but the two of them had the consciousness of being prisoners, and most of the time they stayed in the military aircraft mansion and accepted Li Xuan's disguised house arrest.

Li Xuan did not come to see the two, and the two did not ask to see Li Xuan, but the intelligence of all parties and even some of Li Xuan's plans did not hide the two of them, and every day there was a special person to send the information of all parties to the military aircraft mansion for the two of them to read.

But on this day, there was a surprise figure in the house, a woman, with the heroic posture of a man but with the softness of her daughter's family, a pair of beautiful eyes, flashing with smart light, from the title of several dark hall warriors, this woman is actually Li Xuan's wife.

"The little woman Zhao Min has seen two gentlemen." Zhao Min smiled slightly, regardless of the reaction of the two, and sat down opposite the two generously.

"Heh~" Tian Feng smiled coldly: "Jihou won't send a female stream to be a lobbyist, right?" ”

"Why not?" Among the women around Li Xuan, Zhao Min can be regarded as the one who has stayed in the Chaos Three Kingdoms Plane for the longest time, and he is naturally more aware of the traditions here, the status of women in this era is even lower than that of his own era, and even in the eyes of many scholars, eating at the same table with a woman is an insult, so he doesn't care, and the task of persuading the two is that she asked Li Xuan to come, so she naturally thought about the possible reaction of the two.

"Is there no one under General Zhenbei's tent? Sending a woman to be a lobbyist? Tian Feng snorted coldly.

"Most of the generals' mansions are now sent to various counties, and now those who remain in Yecheng, except for some generals, it seems that only the little girl is left." Zhao Min smiled slightly and said: "But what Mr. Tian said seems to be unfair, there are women who are good generals in ancient times, women are not allowed to have eyebrows, and the soldiers are invincible, why can't I be a lobbyist?" ”

"A good woman is a strange woman through the ages, how can she be compared with ordinary people?" Tian Feng snorted coldly.

"I don't agree with that!" Zhao Min shook his head and said: "Dare to ask Mr., before the woman showed her ability to the world, who knew that she was a strange woman, judging from the situation at that time, there may be fewer people who have the same idea as Mr. than now, but what is the result?" I'm afraid it's these people who contributed to the reputation of that woman who is a strange woman for thousands of years, right? ”

"What a mouth!" Fu Zhu shook his head and smiled: "But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my wife, the lord treats me well, even if the situation is unfavorable to the lord now, how can I go back to the enemy and surrender to the enemy!" ”

"This is natural." To the surprise of the two, Zhao Min nodded very seriously and said, "If the two gentlemen were such people who bent their knees so easily, the little woman would not have come to this trip today." ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, this is domineering enough, and the implication is that you will only come if you can afford it.

"That lady is here today for ......," said Frustrated, frowning.

"The talents of the two gentlemen, the little girl also has some understanding, and they all have the talent of Wang Zuo." Zhao Min said with a smile.

"Madame, if you really have that ability, you won't end up in today's situation." Frustrated with a wry smile and shook his head.

"That's a big fallacy." Zhao Min shook his head, looked at the two of them and said: "The two gentlemen were captured, it has nothing to do with their ability, it's just that the two gentlemen don't understand the means of the husband and the ability of Longcheng, which makes Yecheng's defense so pale and powerless, and this is not a crime of war." ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhi couldn't help but look at each other speechlessly, it was probably the first time they had heard someone boast like this, but thinking about the power that had erupted in Dragon City during this time, they had to accept this explanation.

"Yuan Benchu is now in the waning days, life is on the verge of death, the two gentlemen do not have to be in a hurry to refute, with the knowledge of the two gentlemen, the intelligence during this period should be able to analyze some problems, do not hide the two gentlemen, Qinghe, Zhao Guo and the two places have been completely defected before we arrived in Yecheng, although the two counties are not from my Longcheng gate, but since the Taishou below, a group of county magistrates, as early as a few months ago, have been controlled by my Longcheng, or bought, or transferred, in addition, Anping, Julu two counties have Zhang He, Gao Ran two generals to help, Now it should have been taken, the nine counties of Jizhou, in addition to Wei County and Bohai, my Longcheng has actually won seven counties, just wait for the time to be ripe, the husband will give an order, you can cut off the supply of Yuan Shao's grain and grass, Yuan Shao's 500,000 army, can be turned into ashes overnight, the little woman can't think of any reason for Yuan Shao to turn over, but the husband has pity on the talents of the two generals, and can't bear to abandon them, but he knows that the two gentlemen are people, and he can't bear to blaspheme. ”

Looking at the ever-changing expressions on Tian Feng and Frustrated Professor's faces, Zhao Min sighed lightly and said: "I can't bear to kill, but if I want to let the two gentlemen leave, I can't, it's because the little woman came today and took the liberty to ask the two of them, after Yuan Benchu's defeat, dare to ask the two gentlemen where to go?" (To be continued......)
