Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Chen Gong and others of Yuan Shao, who were not optimistic about Yuan Shao in Youzhou at all, turned a blind eye to this and still did their own thing.

Time passed slowly, Yuan Xi had the previous nervousness and anxiety, but he also slowly settled down and began his normal life.

He knew that the day when he really had to rely on himself was coming, and for such a day, he had been preparing for nearly ten years from nothing.

If you fail, there's nothing to say.

Time flickered to September, the front battle had each other's victories and defeats, learned the lessons of the last Guandu battle, Yuan Jun this time step by step, not in a hurry to attack, slowly approaching Cao Cao, in order to find a favorable fighter. And Cao Cao was anxious to fight, so he was anxious about it.

In terms of the situation, Yuan Shao always has a small advantage.

On the Youzhou side, Gongsun Du chose to surrender almost without any resistance, and if he didn't surrender, it was a dead end, and there was no way.

So Yuan Xi completely occupied Youzhou.

The four counties occupied: Xuansu County, Lelang County, Obifang County, and Liaodong County. Yuan Xi sent Yuan Yao of Liaoxi County to be transferred to Lelang County as the Taishou and Zhang Liao as the Taishou of Liaoxi County.

Gao Shun is the Taishou of Liaodong County, and Jia Xu is the Taishou of Daifang County. Chen Jiao is the Taishou of Xuansu County.

Except for Gao Shun, most of the Taishou of the four counties are civil officials, and Yuan Xi's purpose in doing this is to make the four counties develop rapidly, and this is also the safest place, and there will be no other dangers.

As for Jia Xu, it was completely tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it, in order to prevent him from running away, Yuan Xi appointed him as a party taishou and see how he performed.

As for Chen Gong, he must be transferred back.

Cao Cao came to attack, the front three counties, three people, each must guard a county.

Pan Feng, Gao Lan, and Zhang Liao are all generals who stand alone, but with the talents of Xu Shu, Guo Jia, and Chen Gong's strategists, this is what Yuan Xi thinks is the most perfect partner in his heart.

When military generals consider problems, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes, so that they can complement each other's strengths infinitely. It has the effect of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

However, the remnants of the Xiongnu have never been completely resolved, and the situation is somewhat stalemate without wanting to lose soldiers and horses.

For a whole year, Yuan Xi and Yuan Cao were in a big battle, although Cao Cao won a big victory last time, and there were a lot of soldiers and horses, but many of them were from the four states of Hebei, and Cao Cao didn't worry about bringing them all over when he fought the war, and most of them were placed in the backup or town guards.

There is not much difference between the two sides.

Time went round and round, and in a blink of an eye, it came to 200 AD, and after the New Year, Yuan Xi himself was a little surprised, he never thought that this war could be fought for so long.

At present, the situation is still deadlocked.

Cao Cao still has a lot of problems, last time it was a lack of soldiers and food, this time it is a lack of food.

Yuan Xi was paying attention to the battle situation in front of him every day, realizing the importance of grain and grass, Yuan Xi accelerated the tuntian, and continued to tuntian in Youzhou on a large scale, especially in the place where Gongsun Du was before, which was the top priority.

In March, after a population review, what Yuan Xi did not expect was that in just two years after the defeat of Guandu, the population of Youzhou had increased by more than one million, and it was now close to four million (the population of Gongsun Du had been added).

But there are a lot of children among them. The number of this population has surpassed that of Jizhou. It's just that no one knows.

(Yuan Xi adopted the method of apportioning the land into the mu, which had a huge incentive effect on population growth.) If you are interested, China's population exceeded the 100 million mark for the first time, which is the credit of this law, and the time is extremely short. ）

However, children and women accounted for a large proportion of these people, so Yuan Xi stopped recruiting troops in addition to quietly recruiting another 20,000 troops, so that all his troops reached 180,000.

In mid-April, the two sides finally confronted each other with a place name familiar to Yuan Xi.

Kuratei!

Yuan Xi knew that the results should come out. What he didn't expect was that before he could wait for the result, Cao Cao unexpectedly sent troops to attack Bingzhou first.

There are no three out of ten troops in Bingzhou, and most of them were transferred to the front line by Yuan Shao, how to fight with the extremely brave Xiliang Iron Cavalry?

Collapse at the touch of a button.

After Yuan Xi got the news, he immediately thought about sending troops to the rescue, the front line can be ignored, but the state can not be ignored, and the state can be regarded as a natural barrier in Youzhou.

The judge said: "My lord, I think I should immediately send General Pan of Daijun to go and send ordinary people over, but I am afraid that it is not Ma Chao's opponent."

Yuan Xi was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Cao Cao to dare to be so open-minded and let Xiliang Ma Chao attack Bingzhou.

The key is that Ma Chao is still here.

Ma Chao temporarily took refuge in Cao Cao|He didn't think it was strange, but Ma Chao was willing to lead the Xiliang army to conquer and merge states thousands of miles away, and Yuan Xi felt that there was something wrong with this person's brain.

I don't know when Ma Chao's father will die, so I can give this guy a political lesson.

It's a pity that Cao Cao at this time will definitely not have time to purge the Ma Chao family, because it's not the right time.

"Cao Cao is really a hero!" Yuan Xi looked at the map and said with a smile.

The judge glanced at him, not knowing what Yuan Xi meant.

Yuan Xi said to Chen Gong, who had not spoken for a long time on the side: "Gongtai, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

The judge was a little disappointed, he knew that Yuan Xi had vetoed his plan.

Chen Gong pointed to Bingzhou and said: "I also know that Ma Chao is called Jin Ma Chao in Xiliang, and he also has two generals under him, and he has the courage of ten thousand people." If we send troops, we need to have fierce generals. ”

Yuan Xi nodded, glanced at Chen Gong, and muttered, "Xuanjia Heavy Army? ”

Chen Gong stroked his palm and praised: "I can't hide anything from the lord, but General Xu has a violent personality, and he is not enough to be alone for the time being, so he asked to be a military advisor." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head, rubbed his brows and said, "I'll go myself." There is a military division in Jixian County for the time being, and in case of an emergency, you can discuss and solve it, and you don't have to ask me. ”

"Yes, my lord." Chen Gong and the trial match hurriedly surrendered their promises.

After Yuan Xi left, he asked puzzledly: "Gongtai, the lord doesn't like to go on the expedition very much, you are going to go this time, why did he take this matter over?" ”

Chen Gong put away the map, walked to the side and sat down, and said with a smile: "Because our lord is amazing." ”

The trial is even more confusing.

Chen Gong explained: "What I mean is to let the lord go out in person, and the lord heard what I mean, so he agreed. ”

Judging the Great Khan, he didn't hear it.

Chen Gong explained: "Xu Chu is not something I can order, but it is just right for the lord to go; and when Gao Gan comes back, knowing that the lord will help him keep the state, it will also ease the relationship between the two. ”

has always been in love, everyone is tired of it, and Yuan Shao, an old immortal, is always immortal, and Yuan Xi is difficult to develop, and if he doesn't develop, he can't go to a farther place to pick up girls, so end Yuan Xiaotou's life as soon as possible....... Stay tuned.
