In fact, Yuan Shao's ability is very strong, and he also has the ability to choose strategies.

However, Yuan Shao's way of employing people and his tending to rely on the power of the family to operate the princes were destined to encounter this dilemma in the end.

All kinds of opinions are smashed at him, some are right and some are wrong, all kinds of things, not to mention Yuan Shao, if you are replaced by someone else, you will become resourceful.

People will break down because they listen too much.

It's not that Yuan Shao himself has a natural difficulty in choosing, it's really the political environment he is in, which is destined for him to have such drawbacks.

He had to overcome it himself.

After everyone was sent away by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao went back and forth in the tent by himself.

He was thinking carefully about the words that the strategists had just left for him.

These people under Yuan Shao's command were all from high-ranking families, and their education was the top in the Han Dynasty, and they also had a lot of knowledge.

Therefore, even if it is for the interests of the family, the advice they blow to Yuan Shao has their own reasons.

Since it really makes sense, this makes it difficult for Yuan Shao to decide.

This is the problem caused by too many cultural people around.

Everything you say makes sense, who do you want me to listen to?

If Liu Jian and Cao Cao are here, they may not be much stronger than Yuan Shao.

Just when Yuan Shao was thinking about it and didn't know what to do, Sun Jian came to Yuan Shao's tent to ask for a meeting.

Most of the meetings of the appropriate talents were given opinions to Yuan Shao by the high-ranking families in the marshal tent, but none of the heroic generals in the army were present at that time.

At this time, Sun Jian suddenly came, and Yuan Shao suddenly had an idea.

That is to discuss the military dilemma he is facing with Sun Jian to see if Sun Jian can help him at the military level.

After all, the advice of those noble families, although they all sound reasonable, but there are too many small calculations in their hearts.

Perhaps what you hear from a person like Sun Jian is really in line with the current situation.

"Hurry up and ask the desk to come in!"

When he was young, he saw Sun Jian walk to the handsome tent and greet Yuan Shao.

"The last official Sun Jian, meet the general!"

"Wentai doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Sun Jian was not polite, and immediately sat aside according to Yuan Shao's instructions.

"The last officer has changed the outer battalion defense for the three armies, and the layout of each battalion has changed, this is the defense camp rearranged by the last officer, and it will be specially handed over to the general for inspection."

Yuan Shao casually took the pitu handed to him by Sun Jian, looked at it roughly, and then folded it and put it aside.

"I'm very relieved that Wentai is doing things, there is no need to ask me everything, you can do whatever you have to do, you don't have to ask too much."

Yuan Shao said so, but Sun Jian didn't take it seriously.

Yuan Shao said that after all, Sun Jian only needs to listen to it, if he really doesn't report to Yuan Shao about something, then there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.

When you are the boss, you usually say a few polite.

"Wentai, during today's military discussion, there is a major event, I am discussing with Zhu Gong, but I can't make a decision for a while, and I ask Wentai to help me plan and plan."

Sun Jian said: "Please also ask the general to make it clear." ”

"Wentai, now that Lu Bu, Niu Fu, Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao have all been defeated in Sizhou, each of them has no way to continue to compete with Liu Jian in Sizhou."

"And if our army wants to face Liu Jian alone, it will also be a lot of obstacles, and now the princes have very different opinions on whether to continue to fight Liu Jian in Sizhou, and Yuan also has some hesitation on this matter, so I want to ask you to decide on my behalf."

Sun Jian was surprised when he heard this.

Although he is a fierce general who is good at fighting, he is at most assisting Yuan Shao on the battlefield to fight in the east and west.

As for these political things...... Whether or not to fight is not something that Sun Jian can decide, and Sun Jian has never thought about it.

Sun Jian felt that if Yuan Shao asked him to fight, he would just do it.

It doesn't matter what should be fought or not, it's not my job.

"General, it doesn't seem like Jian should be involved in these things, right?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Is there anything you can't participate in?" You are also my arm, my confidant! ”

"Now that there is a major event in the soldiers' family in the past, although everyone has opinions and reasons, but this matter of fighting with Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo can't fall on them."

"This matter of charging into battle and dealing with the enemy still depends on you Sun Wentai."

"So, if I don't ask you about this, who should I ask?"

Sun Jian listened to Yuan Shao's words, hurriedly got up, and saluted Yuan Shao.

"Since the general asked me, then Sun will give a little advice."

After that, I saw Sun Jian walking to the map behind Yuan Shao and pointing out the country on it.

"General, according to the opinion of the last official, Liu Deran is now in the prime of his army, and if he wants to retreat, it is indeed the most stable way, but the general has invested a lot in Sizhou, if he withdraws now...... I don't know what the general thinks, but as a sergeant, the last officer must be unwilling in his heart. ”

Yuan Shao nodded, and said: "If you are unwilling to withdraw, then you can only continue to fight with Liu Jian here, but if Dong Zhuo leads the troops here, what should we do?" ”

Sun Jian said: "Now that Yuan Shu's troops are sent to Huainan, and they want to cut off Cao Mengde's back road, the general can promise Mengde and let him return to Huainan to fight Yuan Shu, so that only our army is left here!" ”

"And the local wang clans in Yuzhou and Jingzhou are now competing with each other over whether to send troops, the general might as well spread the matter, and then return to Luyang, and the last general will lead an army, stay in Yangren, and watch the movements of Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo."

When Yuan Shao heard this, his spirits immediately perked up.

He already understood the meaning of Sun Jian's words.

This is a trick to retreat into advance.

Let Cao Cao return to Huainan first, ostensibly folding one of his arms.

Then spread the news that in his camp, the Ruying family and the Jing Chu family were arguing about whether to fight or not, so that Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian thought that there was an internal problem in them and they could not fight smoothly.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao withdrew the army to Luyang, and then left Sun Jian in Yangren City, which is to confirm this fact with his own actions.

In this way, in the eyes of Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao has no ability to deal with Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo for the time being!

If this is the case, Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian can temporarily throw Yuan Shao aside.

Yuan Shao pretended to return to Nanyang County to deal with Yuan Shu's harassment of Yuzhou, and also to deal with his own internal affairs.

Although Yuan Shao needs to make a false appearance in Luyang, Sun Jian can judge the situation in Yangren County and send troops at any time to strive for the greatest interests for his side.

After figuring this out, Yuan Shao looked at Sun Jian and praised: "Wentai is worthy of being a brave general!" Not only is he good at combat, but his control of the battlefield is also so accurate, with the help of a certain station, why worry about big things? ”

"Wentai can be the governor of the capital, sitting in Yangren County, fully responsible for the war in Sizhou, Jingchu, Yuzhou soldiers and horses, whoever Wentai wants to use, can be dispatched at will!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he said, "General Xie trusts!" Perseverance will be repaid with death! ”

"I heard that Wentai's eldest son is also in the army with you now?"

"Yes, Xiao'er Sun Ce, since he returned to me, he has been listening to it in front of the army."

"Oh, where does Sun Lang live now?"

"Back to the general, Xiao'er is only my personal guard temporarily, and he has no military position."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Since you are a young hero, how can you have no military position?" Pass on my order, move Sun Ce to the Marquis of Qu Army, and listen to the army with you! Since he is the son of Wentai, he must have courage and strategy, and he will definitely be your arm and help in Yangren! ”

"General Xie! The last official must urge the child to establish meritorious service for the general. ”
