Chapter 403: Yuan Shao's Decision
Guo Tu and Feng Ji's argument, Guo Tu won completely.
Feng Ji's angry eyes were full of stars, and his face was about to turn purple, but there was nothing he could do about Guo Tu.
What he sees in his eyes is not the same as what others see.
This is something that a wise strategist must understand.
Feng Ji took a deep breath, calmed down, and gave up continuing to persevere.
On the dappled hall, someone is whispering and scolding the mother, and the person who greets him is naturally Fengji.
There are also people who look on the wall with a thoughtful face, and there are also Xu You's eyes that no one looks down on.
Yuan Shao suddenly got up, walked down from the couch that was three stone steps higher than the others, and said to the staff of the palace in a loud voice: "I, Yuan Shao, there is no way to retreat, this battle must be fought!" Not only do I want to fight, but I also want to pull Gongsun Zhan's grandson to fight with me."
The argument between Guo Tu and Feng Ji made Yuan Shao suddenly realize a problem, the court has many generals, and he also has many generals, why should he be afraid?
After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shao came up with a reason to comfort himself.
He was afraid because it was the imperial court.
That's all!
The imperial court has been fighting in the south and the north, and he has also been fighting in the east and west.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, and he is only a lot more.
There are fierce generals like Zhang Liao and Xiahou Yuan in the imperial court, and he also has Ju Yi, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.
So, everyone is about the same, why don't they dare to fight?
He doesn't even have the heart to dare to fight, and he still talks about the success of a fart.
"Lord, Gongsun Chan is afraid that he will not be able to agree." Guo Tu, who had just taken office as a new official, was very active, and Yuan Shao's question had just been thrown, and he almost didn't think about it, so he immediately gave his opinion.
Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind him, and said quite confidently: "He will, I have been fighting with him for several years. What kind of virtue is he, I know very well, how can there ever be a court in his eyes?"
"Xun Chen, do you dare to meet Gongsun Zhan?"
Xun Chen, who had an honest face, walked out of the crowd and arched his hand: "The general has orders, don't dare to disobey."
Yuan Shao laughed heartily, "Okay, if you have a friend, this matter will be nine out of ten. If this happens, I will do it for you, and if not, there will be no hindrance. All you have to do is state your interests to Gongsun Chan and persuade him to mobilize his troops."
"Whoa!"
After Yuan Shao paced around the hall twice, he climbed the stairs again, sat down in a precarious position, and asked everyone, "The imperial army has already deployed troops in Jizhou, who can be the general in this first battle?"
"My lord, I am willing to lead the army in person, clear the way for the lord, and prepare a bed." Guo Tu once again took the initiative to recommend himself and asked to be a pioneer.
Xu You slowly stood up, glanced at Guo Tu Eng unhappily, and asked, "Do you know who the vanguard of the imperial court is?" Ten thousand people slaughtered Zhang Ji, that guy is a madman, you are a strategist and a madman fighting, what do you think is the chance of winning?"
Guo Tu has always been very displeased with Xu You, an arrogant and rude guy, that is, Xu You followed Yuan Shao earlier, and Yuan Shao has been thinking about his old feelings, otherwise this guy would have died hundreds of times.
"I think it's a 100% chance of winning!" Guo Tu tugged at the slightly sparse beard under his chin and said indifferently.
Xu You pointed at Guo Tu and suddenly leaned back and laughed, and in a moment, the tears of laughter seemed to be about to come out.
Guo Tu's face darkened, and he asked, "Xu Ziyuan, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? Hahahaha, your mother, what do you mean, hahahaha......" Xu You patted his thigh and couldn't stop laughing, even speaking was a little difficult, "Zhang Ji, in fact, I always thought that he was not a general, that is, a madman. There is no order to fight, and it is all based on blood and bravery. But he is such a madman, and he has fought several famous battles."
"It is said that the huge Jingguan outside Jincheng is still enduring the wind and rain there, do you Guo Tu also want to take the general's soldiers and horses to become a Jingguan?"
"A man who fights without rules
Crazy, just rely on you, a strategist who likes to wave a fan, to try to win ten percent? Pipe dream. Zhang Ji's kind of person is the one who you don't completely cut off his neck, he struggles to get up and bites you to death."
Guo Tu was ridiculed and ridiculed by Xu Yu, and glared angrily, he simply ignored it, and instead said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, take Zhang He and Gao Ran to the second general!"
"The lord can take the Jizhou soldiers and horses and then set off, as long as our army can defeat Cao Ren, the lord will instantly turn against the guest, and turn defeat into victory!"
Xu You pointed his finger at Guo Tu again, "Your suggestion is quite beautiful, I have no opinion. But the key to victory in this battle must be grain and grass, if you can cut off the grain and grass of the imperial army, the odds of victory will increase by ninety percent."
Guo Tu snorted, not wanting to deal with Xu Yu at all.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao said, "Then it is so decided, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and I will personally march for the army."
"Whoa!"
Although the discussion was a little noisy and uproarious, Yuan Shao was finally relieved in his heart.
Guo Tu and Xu You's opinions collided together, and the opinions of Fu Zhu and Feng Ji and others could be ignored.
Fu Zhu and others are already a little conservative in doing things, but in Yuan Shao's opinion, they are too responsible, and they have no intention of being enterprising at all.

The land of Yangping County was basically taken away at that time, but it was abandoned by the imperial court.
Liu Wei felt that there was nothing to pity, and Yuan Shao didn't take this matter to heart.
But as a pavilion pottery order, Zhuge Yuan, who is also a Yangping Taishou, is uncomfortable.
In the past, when he stood on the mountain, he could vaguely hear the sound of the imperial army training cavalry, and the sound of horses' hooves shaking like shaking the mountain made him panic, and he basically lost sleep every night, and he didn't dare to fall asleep at all.
Now it's okay, the sound of military training has disappeared recently, but the imperial court has directly sent troops.
If you want to capture Yecheng, Yangping County must be unavoidable, and sooner or later there will be a battle here.
After learning that the imperial army had reappeared in Yangping County, Zhuge Yuan ordered the officials of the county government to settle down, and then began to embroider flags himself. As for recruiting brave men and preparing to defend the city, he didn't do a single thing.
Cheng, Wei and others from the government office were very puzzled by this, and made a special trip to ask Zhuge Yuan several times.
At first, Zhuge Yuan was not very happy to say, but later he heard that the imperial court had sent troops from three sides, and the soldiers and horses from Bingzhou had already crossed the Shangdang, so he said to the left and right: "You must know that we have always been officials of the imperial court, and when Yuan Shao was powerful, we were forced to become Yuan Shao's subordinates."
"Yuan Shao, the leader, did not send soldiers and horses to Yangping, but we, the officials of the imperial court, did not think about how to meet the king, but recruited strong men and prepared to defend the city, do you say that you are a little unclear about the priorities?"
When these Cheng, Wei, and Sima up and down Yangping heard it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
So, after that day, Guan Taofan was doing some errands in the government office, and every household up and down embroidered flags behind closed doors.
So much so that the brocades in the city began to run out of stock in a large area, but fortunately, it is not far from Shangdang.
The imperial court opened a port in order to facilitate trading in Shangdang, and the supply of goods was guaranteed in only a few days for caravans to come and go.
Although war is about to start, for some bold businessmen, this is the time when the biggest business opportunity is.
In this tense atmosphere, the caravans roaming the Shangdang were several times larger than before.
