Jizhou, Julu County.

Since Yuan Shao led his army to defeat Gongsun Chan south of Youzhou, Gongsun Chan retreated in a row until Yijing. When he finally remembered his military advisor Li Ru, he hurriedly sent someone to invite him, but found that Li Ru had long since disappeared.

Even if I searched the entire Youbeiping, there was no news, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

Without Li Ru's advice, Gongsun Zhan knew that he was not Yuan Shao's opponent, so he insisted on Yijing, dug more than ten trenches in Linyi River, and built mounds as high as five or six zhang in the trenches, and built a camp on the mound.

The mound in the center of the trench was the highest, reaching more than ten zhang, and Gongsun Chan lived in it, using iron as the gate, hoarding millions of grain and grass, and decided to defend it to the end.

Gongsun Zhan was beaten to self-containment, and Yuan Shao didn't have a problem with him for a while, so he ordered his soldiers to enter the counties of Youzhou to plunder.

As a result, the people of Youzhou can be said to have suffered a great disaster, and hundreds of thousands of people have lost their families and their wives have been separated.

When Gongsun Zhan learned of this, although he was annoyed, he was also afraid that this was Yuan Shao's trick to lure, so he strictly ordered his soldiers not to attack without authorization. When the people die, they die, and it has little to do with him anyway.

After plundering Youzhou, Yuan Shao saw that Gongsun Zhan still refused to fight, so he slowly retreated south to Jizhou.

When the army retreated to Julu County, Yuan Shao heard that Lü Bu had captured Montenegro and subdued nearly 100,000 thieves in the mountains, as well as hundreds of thousands of mountain people.

"This Zhang Yan, he is still called a thief and handsome, it's useless! A few years ago, I asked him to submit to me, but he refused, but now it's good, and the guy surnamed Lu has been cheapened for nothing! ”

Yuan Shao was so angry that he scolded, he was shocked and angry.

The Taihang Mountains connect Bingzhou and Jizhou, and the terrain between the mountains is complex and dangerous, and whoever occupies this place has the possibility of putting pressure on the other side, and can send troops to attack at any time.

In the past, Zhang Yan was buffered in the middle, and Yuan Shao was also down-to-earth in Jizhou. Even though Zhang Yan and other thieves looted from time to time, they were also petty fights and did not hurt their bones.

Now that Lu Bu has taken this place, it's like a tiger napping beside you, who can still sleep!

Yuan Shao hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord, although Lu Bu occupies Montenegro and surrenders the leaders of the thieves, it seems to be like a tiger with wings, but I think that this is the best time to attack Lu Bu's army!"

Tian Feng, who served as a military advisor, got up and suggested to Yuan Shao, and his opinion was one word: Fight!

"Yuan Hao, how sure are you about starting a war with Lu Bu?"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, although he had already sent Yan Liang to garrison Wei County, he had never officially declared war on Lu Bu. Yuan Shao has his own scruples, Lu Bu can retreat to Guanzhong if he loses, but if he loses, he will be completely cold.

"At least ninety percent."

Tian Feng stroked the scribe's beard on his chin, and his eyes were determined and very confident.

Hearing this reply, Yuan Shao was particularly surprised, when Lu Yi defected to Lu Bu, he wanted to go over to find Lu Bu to get back on the field. At that time, it was also Tian Feng who persuaded him that it was not appropriate to start a war, and even said that the chance of victory was less than 30%.

Now that Lu Bu has subdued the thieves in Montenegro, his momentum has risen sharply, it stands to reason that the odds of winning should be smaller, but Tian Feng said that he has a ninety percent chance of winning, what kind of algorithm is this?

Yuan Shao couldn't figure it out.

"Lord, the time is also, the momentum is also! At the beginning, Lu Bu occupied Yanzhou, and he had no worries at all, and he had enough food, grass, and soldiers in his hands, and he could do whatever he wanted, so I don't recommend that you have a hard encounter with him. And now, Lu Bu wants to move nearly a million mountain people into Luoyang, which is a feat, but at the same time a fatal mistake! ”

Tian Feng's eyes flashed, and Lu Bu had a good calculation, but the daily rations of nearly one million people were not a small number.

Luoyang is dilapidated, how can there be food to feed these people, so Lu Bu can only be transferred from Guanzhong. In addition, Yanzhou has also implemented a new order, and in the past two years, there is almost no need to count on the taxes paid by the people of Yanzhou.

In this way, the expenses of the army and these mountain people can only be counted on the base camp in Guanzhong.

In Guanzhong, the scholars were suppressed by Lu Bu, and on the surface they seemed to be amiable, but in fact they hated Lu Bu very much.

Now he only needs to start a war with Lu Bu and consume with him.

With the consumption rate of the war, coupled with the millions of mouths to eat, even if Lu Bu has more grain in Guanzhong, it will not be long before it will be wiped out.

The longer the war went, the more uncomfortable Lu Bu became.

"At that time, hundreds of thousands of mountain people will riot together, we only need to exert a little pressure, and Lu Bu will not be able to bear it first."

Speaking of pride, Tian Feng couldn't help but stroke his beard again, his face was radiant, as if he had pinched the enemy's death hole. Lu Bu wanted to swallow nearly a million mountain people in one go, so I would use them to blow up Lu Bu's belly!

"Lord, what Tian Junshi said is very true, and his subordinates are also in favor!"

The prison commander echoed his words, and at the same time supplemented Tian Feng's plan. It is recommended to fight for a long time, enter the Tun River, and gradually camp Henan, and at the same time dispatch elite cavalry to copy its borders, so that the land under Lu Bu's rule cannot live in peace. In this way, at most, two or three years can make the Lu army exhausted and destroy Lu Dingcheng.

Yuan Shao showed an expression of intention on his face, if he could defeat Lu Bu, then who else would be his opponent in this world?

"Lord, never!"

At this time, a middle-aged scribe sitting opposite Tian Feng got up and exhorted loudly: "In the past few years, the conquest of Gongsun has consumed most of the money and grain in Jizhou. At that time, Bellu Bu failed to defeat him, but exhausted the soldiers of our army first! ”

Yuan Shao's face really showed hesitation.

At this time, Guo Tu, who was next to the middle-aged scribe, also took advantage of the situation and said: "What Xu Beijia said is true, the war costs the people and money, and it is far from being comparable to others. In addition, the soldiers are exhausted, if they don't recuperate, they will start a war with Lu Bu, it may be difficult to win, please think twice! ”

"You two don't want to talk nonsense, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once you miss it, it will be difficult to have this opportunity!" Tian Feng has a straightforward temperament, and what he is not used to seeing is to scold him immediately, and he does not give face to others at all.

"Master Tian, if we start a war with Lu Bu, it will only be a battle between cranes and mussels, so that others will reap the benefits of the fisherman." Xu You was not to be outdone and fought back, no matter how big or small, anyway, as long as Tian Feng agreed, he was bound to oppose it.

"Right now, Lu Bu has not invaded the territory of Jizhou, if we do it to others first, it will be untenable in terms of righteousness. Confucius Sage Yiyun: If the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done.

Do you want to make the lord bear the infamy of great injustice? ”

Although there are many scheming people under Yuan Shao, almost all of them can't pee in a bucket.

Listening to the constant quarrels in the hall, like hundreds of ducks quacking in his ears, Yuan Shao's head hurt very much.

Although Tian Feng's temper is very stinky, he still has the ability. Take Po Gongsun Zan as an example, most of the time, it was Tian Fengxian's strategy, which worked wonders.

But Xu You and Guo Tu seem to be very reasonable.

Just when Yuan Shao was in a dilemma, a servant came into the hall to report: "Lord, the little boy is sick, the high fever does not go away, and the lady is in a hurry, please go and take a look." ”

Yuan Shao had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan and the second son Yuan Xi, but his favorite was the youngest son Yuan Shang.

Even Yuan Shao mentioned in private that the person who can inherit his position in the future must be his youngest son Yuan Shang.

Now that he heard that his youngest son was sick, Yuan Shao didn't care about anything else, so he suddenly got up and dropped a sentence with the strategists who were still arguing: "This matter can be discussed later, and I will talk about it when I go to see my son first." ”

"Lord, the disease of children, how can it be better than the family and the country!" Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shao did not make a decision, so he exhaled anxiously.

Yuan Shao's face turned dark, and he immediately went back: "It's not your son who is sick, of course you don't feel distressed!" ”

With that, he strode out of the hall.

Tian Feng was stunned, as if he had been pricked by a needle, it was very unpleasant, and his disappointment with Yuan Shao could be imagined.

He walked out of the lobby in great frustration, and even though he had walked a long way, he could still hear the sadness and discomfort in his tone.

If you don't listen to me today, he will be a prisoner under Lu Bu's steps!
