Feng Ji and the others gathered around Yuan Shao's left and right, carefully dividing the situation.

After the decisive battle in the Central Plains, the Northern Xinjiang Army stopped on the Henan battlefield, the Yingchuan battlefield, and the Hedong battlefield. Xuzhou has not received any news from Cao Cao so far, and it is estimated that the Northern Xinjiang Army has not entered Xuzhou, otherwise Cao Cao's urgent letter would have been sent a long time ago. Now the Northern Xinjiang Army is the only one attacking continuously on the battlefield in Hanoi.

It was clear that Li Yi wanted to take the whole of Hanoi before the Yellow River froze, and Chen Bing Huanghe threatened Luoyang in preparation for an attack on Luoyang next year.

If Hebei is determined to attack Luoyang next year, then the Northern Xinjiang Army is bound to take Guanzhong first.

After taking Guanzhong, the Northern Xinjiang Army could not only recruit troops from Hedong to attack Luoyang, but also attack Luoyang from the east, west, and north at the same time with the large army on the Central Plains battlefield, greatly saving attack time.

Secondly, if Guanzhong is taken, the blow to Luoyang will also be fatal, which can make Luoyang completely lose the confidence to compete with Hebei.

The third point is particularly important for Hebei, Hedong, Taiyuan and other places are now overcrowded, while Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away from Guanzhong, is uninhabited. After taking Guanzhong, Hebei was able to move its population westward, quickly alleviate the population crisis in northern Xinjiang, and bring a large amount of wealth to Hebei.

Since the Northern Xinjiang Army is bound to win Guanzhong, now that Han Sui of Xiliang suddenly sent troops to capture Guanzhong, what kind of reaction will Jinyang make?

"In order to defeat Li Yi in the Central Plains, we have sent a lot of money and food to Xiliang in the past few months, and Hebei must have blackmailed Han Sui in order to stabilize Han Sui. So with Han Sui's current strength, he can completely win Guanzhong. Yuan Shao said slowly, "In the Central Plains War, although we were defeated, Hebei used more than 400,000 troops in order to defeat us, and its consumption was very large, and with the wealth of Hebei's three states, it could not be supported at all. Especially later, when they traveled thousands of miles from the desert to recruit Hu Qi to the south, the cost was even more unimaginable. Not only did they have to provide Hu Qi with food, grass and ordnance for several months, but they also had to give them a batch of rich money after the war. ”

Feng Ji followed Yuan Shao's words and said: "After the Battle of Jizhou, Hebei immediately began to attack the Central Plains. The interval is too short, and the financial crisis is getting worse, and the resulting series of problems may lead to the dangerous collapse of Hebei. ”

"There is no money in Hebei. If meritorious soldiers are not rewarded and those who die in battle are not compensated, the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army will be shaken. In order to accumulate wealth, the Jicheng court is bound to increase taxes and forced labor again and again, and forcibly borrow money and grain on credit from the rich men of Hebei, which will immediately anger the people of Hebei. These sharp contradictions up and down Hebei will then affect the stability of Jicheng. Once the power struggle in Jicheng is white-hot, Li Yi will have to make a move, otherwise Hebei will be in chaos. ”

"In order to pass on the crisis, Hebei is very likely to attack Guanzhong immediately."

The atmosphere in the room was already very depressing, and when Feng Ji said this, he suddenly became nervous.

"It's good that we can hold Hanoi in the short term, how can we have the spare energy to take care of Guanzhong?" Liu Shao sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Although all localities are stepping up the recruitment of new soldiers, before the end of the year, these new soldiers can be pulled into the battlefield." As for grain, it will not be raised until at least after the autumn harvest in October, and the quantity is not very large. The battle in Guanzhong, we can't fight for the time being. ”

"If we retreat to the front line of Huayin and Tongguan now, it is equivalent to giving up Guanzhong to Han Sui." Yin Kui said worriedly, "If Hebei is in a hurry to attack Guanzhong as Yuan Tu said, then there will be two possibilities in Guanzhong. First, Han Sui would be forced by the threat of Hebei to give up Guanzhong to the Northern Xinjiang Army. The second is that Han Sui and Hebei turned their faces, and the two sides fought. The first scenario is a disaster for us. In order to avoid a catastrophe, we must let the situation in Guanzhong develop towards the second scenario. ”

"You mean, give up the pass to Han Sui and shake hands with Han Sui?" Chen Lin's face sank, and he said unhappily, "Who is Han Sui, don't you know?" What does it mean to give him the gatekeeper? It means that we have fattened a tiger behind our own back. Do you know that raising tigers is a problem? ”

Yin Kui helplessly spread his hands and said, "Then what do you say?" Abandon Hanoi, let the Northern Xinjiang Army Chen soldiers the Yellow River, and then we ignore the safety of Luoyang and run to fight Han Sui 800 miles away? We and Han Sui were both defeated, wouldn't the Northern Frontier Army be able to take Guanzhong without spending a single soldier? Hanoi is lost, Guanzhong is also lost, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Henan from the northern Xinjiang, can Luoyang hold it? ”

"Raising tigers? This tiger has to be raised if it is not raised now. Now that we make peace with Han Sui, we can not only keep Luoyang and gain respite, but also use Han Sui to fight against the Northern Frontier Army. When both of them are defeated, and our strength is restored, Guanzhong is still ours, what are you worried about? ”

"Do you think Han Sui is confused, and you will be fooled?" Chen Lin sneered and said, "If Han Sui wants to keep Guanzhong, on the one hand, he is hypocritical with us, and on the other hand, he and I from Hebei Qingqing to gain time to move the population of Xiliang to Guanzhong and gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, what will we do in the future?" He may join forces with Hebei to fight Luoyang. ”

"If Han Sui wants to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, he must keep Luoyang in order to form a three-legged situation with Hebei, otherwise he will die." Yin Kui immediately retorted, "Han Sui has the intention to form a three-legged situation, but Hebei will never let this happen, and Li Yi will definitely fight Guanzhong." As long as they fight, we will immediately help Han Sui with money and food, and when Han Sui's strength is greatly damaged, we will join forces with him to drive the Northern Frontier Army out of Guanzhong. At this time, Han Sui himself is difficult to protect, does he dare to compete with us for Guanzhong? If he can escape back to Xiliang, it will be fateful. ”

Yin Kui's suggestion was supported by Feng Ji, Liu Shao and others.

Yuan Shao discussed the details with everyone, and then said to Yin Kui: "Rulong, you rushed to Xinfeng in person with my letter, one is to let Yuan Tan and Zhang Ji retreat to Zheng County and Huayin to ensure the safety of Tongguan, and the other is to negotiate peace with Han Sui. ”

"When will peace be negotiated?" Yin Kui asked, "Now that we go to negotiate peace, Han Sui may take the opportunity to blackmail us." ”

"When the Northern Frontier Army attacks Guanzhong, Han Sui will definitely take the initiative to come to the door, and then you will talk to him." Yuan Shao sneered disdainfully, "This despicable villain, see how long he can be rampant." ”

As soon as the Guanzhong matter was formulated, Liu Biao came to the book to tell him that he was in a hurry.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu joined forces to attack Jiangxia, and Jingzhou was in danger.

At this moment, the rebellion of Zhang Xian in Changsha has not yet been quelled, and Zhao Yun's army in Yizhou has been defeated in Chengdu and retreated to Jiangzhou, Ba County, and is frequently asking Jingzhou for help. Cai Mao, who stayed in Xiangyang, had no choice but to ask Liu Biao to lead the army back because of his limited troops.

Yuan Shao was furious and scolded Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

If Liu Biao withdraws, the defensive forces on the front line of Yingchuan will be left with 20,000 new soldiers of Xu Xuan and Xun Chen. The situation in Yuzhou is precarious.

"How many men do you still have in Yan Xiang's hands?" Feng Ji put down Liu Biao's letter and looked up to ask Lou Gui.

Lou Gui smiled bitterly: "Since the death of the highway in Yangzhou, there are still more than 50,000 horses. Ji Ling's 10,000 horses were wiped out on the battlefield in the Central Plains. Liu Xun still has more than 20,000 people, but he and Yan Xiang, Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others are against each other, and they can't be counted on at all. There are also 20,000 horses controlled by Yan Xiang, Xun Zheng, Li Shu, Yuan Yin, Liu Yi and others. However, these people are not in harmony with each other, especially Li Shu and Yuan Yin, they have a very good relationship with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and it is estimated that they will help Jiangdong fight Jiujiang. ”

Feng Ji smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Yuan Shao, and asked, "Lord, Cao Cao still has no news?" ”

"Do you want Meng De to go to Yangzhou to fight Jiangdong?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked.

"If the Northern Xinjiang Army did not attack Xuzhou, or concentrated its forces to fight Qingzhou, then with the men and horses of Jian Yong and Chen Deng, Xuzhou could barely be protected." Feng Ji said, "The purpose of Cao Cao's visit to Xuzhou, we all know in our hearts, he will not leave if he goes." But Xuzhou directly faced the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and Cao Cao would not have a good time in the future. If he took the opportunity to take Yangzhou and capture Jiangdong this time, then he would have gained a foothold in the Xu and Yang areas. In the future, he can attack Yanzhou and threaten the Central Plains when he goes north, and he can protect Jianghuai and accumulate strength when he goes south, which will be of great benefit to us to hold on to Luoyang and recapture the Central Plains. ”

Yuan Shao was silent.

Feng Ji knew that he was worried that Cao Cao would become a strong opponent for him in the future after his strength increased greatly, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, the top priority is to stick to Luoyang. Once there is an accident in Guanzhong, the Northern Xinjiang Army can immediately besiege Luoyang from three sides, and Luoyang is in danger. At this time, if Cao Cao could go north to attack Yanzhou, it could greatly alleviate the crisis in Luoyang. A year or two later, when we have regained our strength, the lord can once again unite Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei to attack Li Yi and recapture the Central Plains. ”

Yuan Shao hesitated, shook his head and said, "Yuan Tu, you misunderstood. I'm not worried that Meng De's strength will increase greatly, but I'm worried that after Xuande learned that Meng De occupied Xuzhou, he would be furious and want to fight with him. Now that our strength has been greatly damaged, all parties must not start infighting again, but must work together no matter what. If rebels like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who only seek their own selfish interests regardless of the overall situation emerge in endlessly, Li Yi will soon be able to sweep the world, and we will all be finished. ”

Feng Ji sat opposite Yuan Shao and lowered his head and thought for a long time. After a while, he suddenly asked, "If Liu Bei has nowhere to go, is the lord willing to hand over Yuzhou to him?" ”

"I thought so too." Yuan Shao said, "But all the counties in Yuzhou are my people, even if Xuande goes, it is just a vain name, and he may not be willing." ”

"The lord should persuade Liu Bei well." Feng Ji said, "Liu Bei is the minister of the clan, and at this time when the society is in danger, he should focus on the overall situation. In the future, after defeating Li Yi and seizing Hebei, Liu Bei is still worried that he has nowhere to go? ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Okay." When the fighting in Hanoi stops, I will talk to Xuan Duc personally. You immediately wrote to Cao Mengde and asked him to immediately send troops to Yangzhou and attack Jiangdong to relieve the danger of Jingzhou. As for Brother Jingsheng, let him return to Xiangyang immediately, he has no intention of fighting in the original world now. ”

Feng Ji asked, "Will the Jingzhou army also go south with you?" ”

"Stay for now, and let them go back in the winter." Yuan Shao said, "I believe that Brother Jingsheng can take into account the overall situation and agree to my request." ”

A few days later, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Deng Yi, Liu Xian and others rushed back to Xiangyang with thousands of Jingzhou elites, and Wen Ping, Pang Ji, Gan Ning, Liu Hu and others led their troops to hold Xuchang. (To be continued.) )
