In fact, the opinions of several strategists have their own truths, and it is not wrong to develop, after all, there is a lack of money, food and people's power to fight a war, and with Yuan Shao's current strength, fighting a decisive battle will almost empty the treasury. If it is three or five years later, the strength will be stronger, and it will be more generous and prudent to fight.

It's not wrong to send troops now, after all, you have to accumulate strength, and other princes are also accumulating strength, and it's hard to say who is stronger than whom.

Compared with the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in history, many people on Cao Cao's side thought that Yuan Shao would win, and there were direct correspondence exchanges. Even Cao Cao was shaken, but fortunately, with the support of his advisers and confidants, Cao Cao's personal intelligence was able to persist until victory.

Zhuge Liang also said that Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao, not because of the time, but because of people.

Several strategists began to quarrel again, which made Yuan Shao very annoyed, and he slapped Shuai Tai and said angrily: "I have made up my mind, send troops to the south, there is no need to discuss this matter, I am asking who you will fight first!! It's not a question of whether or not to send troops! ”

Yuan Shao is crazy, although these strategists directly argue with each other, they always like to quarrel, and they can guarantee his authority and ensure that these strategists will not unite to deceive him. But it was also a hassle to be so noisy in every meeting, and in the end it was difficult for him to choose.

In fact, the situation of Yuan Shao's group of strategists also has certain benefits, and several rows of strategists can usually list three opinions of support, compromise, and opposition. There is quite a kind of top strategist who gives three strategies, upper, middle and lower, and then lets the lord choose.

When the first few strategists were pressed down by Yuan Shao's questioning, the strategist Xun Chen hurriedly came out and admonished: "Duke Ming, Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven here, and he can't be moved lightly, so that Luo Gan's foundation is unstable, and he should be cut down." ”

Xun Chen was born in Yingchuan County, and he is a brother to Xun Yu, Cao Cao's number one strategist, of course, this is to encourage Yuan Shao to fight Luo Gan first, after all, Luo Gan is eliminated, whether Yuan Shao or Cao Cao agrees to the world in the future, their Xun family can maintain power.

Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shao's intention to raise troops had been determined, and knew that Yuan Shao would not change his attention, so he only persuaded: "Since Ming Gong has already made a decision, Na Feng thinks that he should attack Cao Cao first." Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven in his hands, as long as the Ming Duke eliminates Cao Cao and gets the Son of Heaven, he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes and directly sweep the world in the name of the Son of Heaven. If he attacks Luo Gan first, Cao Cao may invade our Jizhou. ”

Fu Zhu did not support Tian Feng, but persuaded Yuan Shao to attack Luo Gan first: "The lord can take Qingzhou first, thinking that he is winged, if Luo Gan wants to fight in an all-out battle, this will destroy Luo Gan." Otherwise, he turned around and attacked Cao Cao, and then destroyed Luo Gan. ”

It seems that Fu Zhu is still obsessed with the strategic policy he originally formulated, and does not forget to take Qingzhou.

Feng Ji was unwilling to be left behind, so he ran forward quickly, and he supported Cao Cao first: "Ming Gong, my army went south and went straight to Xu County, like a tiger descending from the mountain." But if it is a little far to attack Linzi, it is better to destroy Cao Cao first. ”

Yuan Shao's current Yecheng is closer to Cao Cao's Xu Du than Luo Gan's Linzi to the east, of course, it is not much worse.

The strategists argued that it was not allowed, among which Xun Chen, Xianping, and Xin Ping supported attacking Luo Gan first; Tian Feng, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu thought that Cao Cao should be attacked first.

Frustration was to go to Qingzhou first, and then attack Cao Cao, which gave Yuan Shao another headache.

Why is it not Yuan Shao's head wind, but Cao Cao's head wind?

I thought that the strategists were still calmly watching the rest of the strategists arguing, and they were also waiting for Yuan Shao's inquiry.

Now that it's almost a draw, Yuan Shao has to talk about his childhood friend Xu You.

"Ziyuan, look?" Yuan Shao's words also attracted the attention of many strategists, and it seemed that Xu Yu would fight that side if he supported it.

This feeling made Xu You very happy.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu You to say that he will beat other people, or not fight or so on.

Xu You said solemnly: "Lord, be a Luo Gan!" If Cao Cao is attacked, then Luo Gan and Cao Cao form an alliance, and the two are flanked and attacked from the east, our army will be defeated. Instead, he attacked Luo Gan, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to reinforce Luo Gan. Therefore, when Luo Gan is cut down first and the land of Qingxu is harvested, you can go all the way south from Jizhou, all the way from Qingxu to the west, and the two ways are attacked, and it is easy to eliminate Cao Cao. ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and finally made a decision: "First cut down Luo Gan, how do you think you should arrange it?" ”

After Yuan Shao unified his opinions, many strategists could only suppress different opinions and offer advice to Yuan Shao.

Frustrated: "Ling Tianhu and Wang Qing sent troops to harass Cao Cao's Sili area and contain Cao Cao. ”

Tian Feng said: "Send elite soldiers to garrison Liyang, Fanyang, and Yin'an to guard against Cao Cao." ”

Xin Ping also conspired: "Go to the court and tell the world to crusade against the traitor Luo Gan, whoever dares to help Luo Gan is a traitor." He sent people to contact Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao to attack Xudu to prevent Cao Cao and Luo Gan from conspiring. ”

The judge also said: "Duke Ming, you can invite Sun Ce to attack Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Guangling County, and jointly attack Luo Gan." ”

This is to kill Luo Gan's rhythm, and even Guo Tu suggested contacting Cao Cao to attack Luo Gan together, and once again the three major princes will attack Luo Gan and completely divide Luo Gan's territory.

However, this plan was rejected by Yuan Shao, and now the situation is different, and he used to be able to fight against Dong Zhuo from the eighteenth princes, but now if they send troops together, they are worried that their allies will stick a knife in the back. What's more, the land of Qingzhou belongs to him Yuan Shao alone, and Cao Cao doesn't make trouble.

As for Sun Ce, he is still far away, there is no threat, and he can form an alliance, but Cao Cao cannot.

The enemy, allies, and so on have all determined a good strategy and sent people to make contact. Then it's the main course, the military arrangement of sending troops to attack Luo Gan.

This time, Yuan Shao raised 120,000 infantry and 30,000 horse troops, a total of 150,000 elite soldiers, and sent troops to the north.

The plan was to cross the Yellow River from the eastern county of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's territory, and then march eastward, attacking the territory of Luogan in Yanzhou, Jibeiguo, and then pounce on Linzi in Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao is the supreme commander, Tian Feng is the military advisor, Xu Yu and Xin Ping are the strategists, Fu is the governor of the supervising army, Chun Yuqiong is the general of the supervising army, Chen Lin is the main book, Guo Tu is the marching Sima, and Feng Ji is the captain of the guard army and the captain of the superintendent of transportation, responsible for managing logistics and transportation.

Yuan Tan is the chief of the march.

Yan Liang and Yan Shude led 30,000 cavalry as cavalry forward generals, Wen Chou and Xin Congzhong as vanguard generals, and 50,000 infantry as vanguards. Ordered Qiong Ying to be the captain of the Yue cavalry and lead 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to participate in the battle. Zhang Jie led 5,000 infantry to act with Qiong Ying as an infantry captain.

Yuan Xi and Xun Chen stayed in Jizhou, and Yuan Shang guarded Youzhou.

Later, Guo Tujin said: "The Ming Duke is a great one to destroy Luo Gan, and he should count the crimes of the cadres, gallop through the states and counties, and crusade against the crimes, but it can be clear and righteous." ”

Yuan Shao adopted Guo Tu's suggestion and asked Chen Lin to write an article to denounce Luo Gan.

This Chen Lin is also a master, and he quickly wrote an article denouncing Luo Gan.

First of all, how did the ancients condemn Luo Gan in the name of righteousness, and then despise Luo Gan's background, so Luo Gan killed court officials and disobeyed the king's orders. Those who have the head of Luo Gan will be sealed as the marquis of ten thousand households, and the reward will be 50 million, and the generals and officials under Luo Gan will come to surrender, and they will not be held accountable, and they will call on the world to jointly crusade against Luo Gan, and so on.

This is a piece of writing more than 1,500 words, this style is also powerful enough, quoting scriptures, scolding Luo Gan up and down, and praising Yuan Shao by the way.

In short, Luo Gan is very evil, and Yuan Shao is very righteous.

Then the messenger hurried to all the places, the contact of contact, the notice of the proclamation.

Soon Yuan Shao's army was dispatched to kill the northern kingdom of Ji.
