After listening to Hua Xiong's plan, everyone present bowed slightly.

"The lord has a wonderful plan." Guo Jia stroked his palms and exclaimed, "Once Yuan Shao realizes that the lord has the idea of crossing the river, he will definitely not hesitate to send someone to attack." ”

"But what if Yuan Shao doesn't turn a blind eye?"

Gao Shun said with some concern.

"Impossible." Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Halfway through, such an excellent opportunity, how could Yuan Shao let it go?" ”

"Yes, even if Yuan Shao really doesn't care, then let's just cross the river directly.

Seek Yuan Shao's main force, and then fight to the death! ”

Hua Xiong said loudly.

"My lord, but what about the white horse? Liu Yan may not be able to hold on at any time. ”

Li Ru asked softly.

Hua Xiong groaned slightly, and said lightly,

"The battlefield is like chess, and it is better to lose a son than to lose a first.

We do not have the advantage in our forces, and we have lost the first opportunity.

If you want to turn the tide, you have to make some sacrifices. ”

Although his tone was light, everyone heard a hint of determination.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally agreed with Hua Xiong's opinion.

……

In the Liyang camp.

"What did you say?"

Yuan Shao took the case, and said with a somewhat surprised face,

"Hua Xiong is making a bamboo raft in Yanjin?"

"Returning to the lord, exactly!"

A small worker in the hall hurriedly replied.

"Are you sure?"

Yuan Shao asked solemnly.

"My subordinates dare to vouch for their lives, this news is absolutely true!

Hua Xiong's sergeants cut down the trees outside Yanjin City.

They already have hundreds of bamboo rafts, or in a few days, they will be enough to cross the river. ”

The servant replied categorically.

Yuan Shao stood up and paced slowly, his face cloudy.

He never thought that Hua Xiong not only did not go to relieve the siege of the White Horse, but even planned to cross the river.

This was much more than he expected.

"Guys, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao looked at his group of strategists.

The judge pondered for a moment and said,

"This Huaxiong, he should be planning to cross the river and seek a battle with the lord to surround Wei and save Zhao with one hand."

"Not bad."

Frustration also nodded in agreement,

"He knew that the army was not enough to compete with the lord, so he made this move."

What they said was the same as what Yuan Shao thought in his heart.

Yuan Shao besieged Baima this time, with a total of more than 200,000 troops.

The remaining 100,000 horses stayed in Qingzhou and beware of Beihai County.

In the eyes of Yuan Shao and his advisers, Hua Xiong felt that even if he defeated Yan Liang's 100,000 horses and relieved the siege of Baima, it would be useless.

After all, there are more than 100,000 people on the other side of the river.

Rather than this, it is better to give up the white horse and directly cross the river to fight with Yuan Shao.

"Hua Xiong's plan is good, he thinks that as long as he defeats the lord, General Yan Liang will be self-defeating."

The judge sneered disdainfully,

"But he didn't think about it, the lord is so easy to fail?"

The words of the trial made Yuan Shao's face glow with pride, and he pretended to be indifferent,

"That's not bad at all. Since that's what he intended, what did you do? ”

"My lord, I think we should send scouts to search north of the Yellow River, find the location where Hua Xiong intends to cross the river, and take precautions in advance."

Frustrated suggested.

"I agree with the words of Fu Zhi, but I think that the army on the south bank of the Yellow River should take the initiative to attack, and take advantage of the time when Huaxiong crosses the river, and attack it halfway!"

Judge the deep voice.

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he nodded involuntarily,

"That's a brilliant plan!"

"I'm against it!"

Xu You, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Ziyuan, why are you opposed?" Yuan Shao frowned.

"I think this plan can't be more stupid!"

Xu Yu blamed mercilessly.

"Xu You, don't deceive people too much!"

The judge was furious.

"Judge, let Ziyuan finish speaking."

Yuan Shao said lightly, but there was already a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"General Yan Liang is besieging Baima, and the city is just around the corner. Why did you divide your troops at this time and go to attack Huaxiong? You must know that dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers! ”

"Even if Huaxiong successfully crosses the river, there are only 50,000 horses, but the lord has more than 100,000 horses, and the army still has an advantage."

"We can avoid the battle, wait until General Yan Liang captures Baima, and after the two armies meet, we will have a decisive battle with Huaxiong!"

Xu You said methodically.

Yuan Shao was silent, he looked at the trial on the side.

The judge comprehended, stood up and sneered,

"The lord is a teacher of righteousness, how can he avoid war and act cowardly?

If we can't hold out, Hua Xiong will lead the army to invade the rear, how should this be good?

Moreover, General Yan Liang had 100,000 horses, half of which was allocated to attack Yanjin, and the remaining half continued to attack Baima, which was still more than enough. ”

Xu You wanted to say something, but he saw Yuan Shao wave his hand,

"I think what the judge said is very reasonable, and immediately ordered Yan Liang to send someone to attack Yanjin."

Seeing this, Xu You could only arch his hand helplessly,

"Lord, my subordinates are unwell, please allow me to retire first."

"Go, Ziyuan, you must pay attention to your body."

Yuan Shao waved his hand.

Xu Yu walked out of the camp with his front foot, and said disdainfully with his back foot.

"Lord, Xu Yu is a person who doesn't learn and has no skills, and will only go against you, Lord, which is really a bit of a hindrance."

Yuan Shao was silent.

In fact, he knew that Xu You's method was the most stable.

But he couldn't wait that long.

He is in charge of the land of Sizhou and has an army of more than 300,000 troops, but at this moment he can't wait to replace Huaxiong and become the most powerful person in the Han court.

Xu You hadn't gone far yet, and the words of the match happened to reach his ears.

When he heard that Yuan Shao was indifferent when he heard that the judge was slandering him, a deep disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Anyway, since you Yuan Shao is not the master, then don't blame me for turning my back on you!

Thinking of this, Xu Yu quickened his pace and returned to his tent.

He packed his luggage, and with the help of his identity as Yuan Shao's strategist, he easily left the barracks, and then disappeared into the vast night.

……

Outside the White Horse City, the military camp stretches endlessly, surrounding the city.

In the manager's tent, a burly man with a grim face was looking at the map.

He is Yuan Shao's pioneer general, Yan Liang.

There are two other people in the hall, namely Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu.

"Report! Checkmate! ”

A herald ran in briskly.

"Speak!"

Yan Liang turned around and said coldly.

"Liyang sent an order from the lord, and he asked the general to immediately divide his troops to Yanjin.

Take advantage of Huaxiong's half-crossing of the Yellow River to carry out a sneak attack! ”

The herald handed over a letter.

After Yan Liang read it carefully, he handed the letter to Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu.

After both of them had seen it, Yan Liang spoke,

"What do you two think?"

Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu glanced at each other, and said in unison,

"Since it's the lord's order, there's naturally nothing to say."
