Wang Yu and Gongsun Zhan's arrangement made Yuan Shaoru a thorn.

I thought that I would be able to win a certain amount of time to rectify the interior after going into battle in person and experiencing such a serious danger, but I didn't think that Wang Yu actually said that Gongsun Zan would move troops to the plain, but the situation in Jizhou was still not completely clear.

Before the news of the battle spread, hundreds of light cavalry of the Youzhou Army took the lead and arrived at the county government offices that had responded to Gongsun Zhan before, controlling the local situation. Before the magistrates weighed the pros and cons, the tens of thousands of foot soldiers who followed up also arrived.

As a result, including the previous Bohai and Leling, the twelve counties of Jizhou were forcibly cut out by nearly half. Although those counties are not the heartland, the longer they are lost, the greater the impact, and if they wait until the autumn harvest and are taken by Gongsun Zhan to collect local taxes, it will be very bad.

In terms of the art of war, Gongsun Chan divided his troops in many places, which just provided the enemy with various opportunities to break through, Yuan Shao once thought so, but after carefully discussing with his staff, he found out that Wang Yu and Gongsun Chan were waiting for him to divide his troops to go north.

Gongsun Chan scattered more than half of his foot soldiers and garrisoned them in various places, except for a few hundred rangers, the main cavalry force was on the plain. Pingyuan County is bordered by several counties in Jizhou, with Qinghe to the west, Anping County to the northwest, and Yangping County to the southwest along the Yellow River.

After the Battle of Jieqiao, the cavalry in Jizhou was almost completely wiped out, and Rao is Yuan Shao was wealthy, and it would take some time to restore the cavalry system. Without cavalry, with the main force of infantry going north to crusade against the rebellion, then eighty percent of the back road will be copied by Gongsun Zhan's light cavalry, Yuan Shao could not expect the other party to make the same mistake.

"For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to attack the plains first. Solve Gongsun Zhan, those minions are not to be afraid. "In the military council convened for this purpose. Guo Tu proposed.

"It's not right, it's very wrong!" Statements were made. Some people objected, this is the biggest sequelae of more celebrities, Guo Tu frowned, raised his eyes to look, and unsurprisingly saw the annoying face of the trial.

There was no annoying consciousness in the trial, he calmly walked to the high-hanging map, pointed at it and said: "Lord, everyone, Qingzhou's meticulous return." Xu Huang's department stationed in Licheng is the main battle force of the Taishan Army, Licheng is only more than 100 miles away from Pingyuan City, it can be said that the morning and evening are coming, besides, Xu Huang's soldiers are known as decisive......"

On the map, the location of Licheng was emphasized, and the trial drew a circle on the map around Linzi.

"The forbidden department is nominally stationed in Linzi, but in fact, there are only more than 1,000 elite troops stationed in the city. The rest are ordinary county soldiers, and Yu Ban's troops often leave the garrison in the name of drills, and the scope of action is difficult to accurately estimate. It can only be thought that it is in the east to Anqiu and Duchang; north to the coast; To the west of Luoyin, such a range ......"

Luoyin is a county seat on the border of Jinan and Pingyuan County, and the whereabouts of the forbidden department have appeared here. Then it can be assumed that he may lead his troops to appear on the plains at any time.

That is to say. In the worst-case scenario, our army will encounter more than half of the main force of Qingzhou in the plains. Plus the main force of the Youzhou cavalry, as well as the combined attack of the Plains Army! Uh, by the way, there is also the cavalry led by Wang Peng. ”

After delivering a tirade, the judge turned around and asked: "Brother Gongze, in the face of such an enemy, are you sure of victory?" ”

Of course, Guo Tu didn't dare to take this conversation. Before, he didn't know that Yu Ban's troops were so erratic, and he thought that it shouldn't be difficult to deal with just one Xu Huang. But after listening to the information of the trial, he found out that Wang Yu was scheming, and it was likely that he had made arrangements in advance before sending troops.

Wang Yu's far-reaching plan made him feel cold, but he was not to be outdone when it came to the upper trial: "So what, can't you let those two show off their might under the nose of the lord?" ”

"Letting the enemy show off his might is always better than defeating the battle! In the battle of Jieqiao, although Gongsun Zhan was injured, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and if our army was defeated, he would still be able to make a comeback easily. The judge said: "Brother Gongze, are you so eager to urge the war, aren't you just in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, and you don't even care about the safety of Jizhou?" ”

"You ......" Guo Tu was so angry that his head was bruised, staring at the trial, and he had the posture of stepping forward to fight.

"How am I?" How could the judge be afraid of him, squinting back, with the intention of provocation.

In the past, the main figures of the two major factions had already joined the battle group, but today there was no one to help, and everyone's minds were not focused on this quarrel.

At this moment, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao's face is extremely ugly, just if the trial and Guo quarrel, maybe he won't do anything, if everyone joins in, maybe he will be blown up, and then everyone will be unlucky together.

Also, there is little point in this argument.

For Jizhou, the best situation is for Gongsun Zan to return to Youzhou to regroup, so that Jizhou can calmly attack the Bohai Sea, disconnect the passage between Youzhou and Qingzhou, and then choose a strategic target.

There are not many Qingzhou troops, but they are all elites who have fought a series of battles in Luoyang, and they are fighting head-on, and the current Jizhou army is not sure of victory.

Wang Yu's weakness is that there are few soldiers, but there are many enemies around, so he does not dare to stay away from the nest, and if he fights in the plains, Yu Ban and Xu Huang's troops may appear, but if it is in Jizhou, at most Wang Yu's light cavalry will come.

The problem of Gongsun Chan is that the frontal combat power is insufficient, although the mobility of the light cavalry is high, the ability to attack the frontal attack is poor, especially after losing the elite of Baima Yicong. The other is that he has limited money and food, and cannot fight a protracted war.

As a result, as soon as Gongsun Chan hid in the plains, the situation was very different. If you want to break the momentum of these two people's cooperation, it is really difficult to climb to the sky. What's more, the Jizhou army also needs to rest now.

No one helped, and Guo Tu and the trial match alone couldn't make much trouble. In fact, these two people are not without long eyes, they have always observed Yuan Shao's expression, although the quarrel is fierce, it has always been within the range that Yuan Shao can tolerate.

After all that should be said, a few more words of scolding each other,

The voices of the two of them were also getting lower and lower, almost nothing.

As if he was aware of this, Yuan Shao raised his head and glanced around the faces of the staff members expressionlessly. He asked coldly, "Are you done?" No one wants to say anything anymore? ”

The crowd was silent.

"The situation is not optimistic? Didn't Ben know? Still use you guys? Now, what I want is a countermeasure! Do you understand? Countermeasure! Yuan Shao slapped the table hard. Use the most intense movements and roars to vent the resentment in your heart.

It's not so much that he's angry, it's more like he's frightened. Even when Luoyang was in turmoil, he had never encountered such danger. Although the battle had been fought two days ago, every time he closed his eyes, the figure that appeared in the darkness was the figure wielding a spear, constantly approaching him, with an ominous smell of death.

If you can pay some price, you can solve Wang Yu. He would rather pay half of Jizhou and half of his family wealth, no, if this is true, he is willing to pay more.

However, his staff, these famous people in the world, failed to give even a single unreliable advice, and they argued endlessly about whether to get close to Qingzhou. Doesn't anyone understand. What I want is not to get close to Qingzhou or not, but to completely eliminate the scourge in Qingzhou?

He glared and gasped like a wounded beast. The staff lowered their heads. Avoided his gaze.

Celebrities and gentlemen are so smart, how can they not know what the lord wants? But even so, what can they do?

Desperate with a monster like Wang Yu that is rare to see in a hundred years? That's not their specialty. Not to mention that the Jizhou army is now at the end of the crossbow, even if it recovers as before. In the face of such an enemy, who can guarantee victory?

The generals of Xiliang. Xu Rong, who frightened the heroes, and millions of yellow scarves, were all defeated by his subordinates. Before the war, which of his opponents was not widely favored and had the upper hand in strength?

Even if you don't consider these, everyone has witnessed the battle of the boundary bridge a few days ago, from the beginning to the end, Wang Yu almost swept tens of thousands of Jizhou troops with the strength of one person.

This is still the case of him as a guest army, if he is on his territory and asks him to gather the main force under his command, what can he do if the Jizhou army has the upper hand?

No one can think of a way, and they are even more afraid that after thinking of a way, they will be ordered to implement it by the lord, bear the risks in the implementation, and the responsibility after failure.

Looking at these celebrities who are well versed in the way of officialdom, Yuan Shao suddenly regretted a little, is he a little paranoid in the selection of talents? The more sophisticated the person, the more tactful he is, the more unwilling he is to take responsibility, he is a good help in the officialdom, and he is also very effective in talking about politics at ordinary times, but when he really uses people, he ......

However, thinking of those stubborn faces who don't know how to be flexible and repeatedly disobey themselves, Yuan Shao is bored again, that kind of person is quite comfortable to use occasionally, if he gets along day and night, how can he stand it?

There are so many talents around me, why don't we have talents who understand the world and have the courage to do things? He let out a long sigh in his heart, deeply regretful.

"I have a plan, or I can worry about the Lord." As if hearing Yuan Shao's silent sigh, someone stood out.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Xu Yu who was in charge of intelligence who spoke, "What is Ziyuan's plan?" ”

"The so-called wise man must have a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool may have a gain in a thousand thoughts," Xu You arched his hand and said: "You are not talented, but in the mood of worrying about the Lord, boldly speaking, thinking that it may have the effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade......"

Yuan Shao was too lazy to listen to these scenes, and interrupted Xu Yu impatiently: "Okay, Ziyuan, don't be modest anymore, if you have a plan, you can come here, if it is not appropriate, I will not pursue it, and others will not attack you with this." ”

"Yes." Xu Yu wants this sentence, at this time, the risk is very great, but the wealth is in danger, as long as you take the words to squeeze first, you can also have a precaution.

"Qingzhou has few soldiers, but Wang Yu signaled that Yu Ban is not willing to keep his duty, wandering around, threatening our army, and the battle is that he is friendly with Tao Gongzu, so he does not need to defend the southern front with troops. Now that it's summer, if you can create a crisis for him behind the scenes, no matter how bold he is, it is impossible for him to let the empty Beihai and Donglai be exposed, right? ”

"The Southern Route? Ziyuan, do you want to be separated? Yuan Shao frowned.

"Definitely." Xu You smiled slightly, "There must be a gap to take advantage of, with the relationship between Tao Gongzu and Wang Yu, and the transfer of the East China Sea Mi home, it is impossible to succeed in the discord." However, there are a lot of internal troubles in Xuzhou, especially Langya, which is almost in a completely independent state, and only needs a letter, so why is it difficult to create something to come out? ”

"You mean those Tarzan thieves? Will they not be afraid of Wang Yu? "In the past, under Han Fu, he was also responsible for intelligence, and his understanding of the surrounding forces was not under Xu Yu.

"In the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou last time, they were about to move, but in the first battle of Fenggao, the speed of dividing the victory and defeat was too fast, so that they gave up halfway, but the mustard was finally settled, and they were somewhat worried in their hearts that they would be counted by Wang Yu. What's more, if they want to make a move this time, it is not directly against Qingzhou, but ......"

Xu You smiled calmly and said: "Xuzhou is not only the barrier of Qingzhou, but also the weakness that Qingzhou has to save. If he doesn't save Xuzhou, the lord just drives the wolf and devours the tiger, and when Xuzhou changes hands, Qingzhou naturally can't maintain the previous calm posture, if he saves Xuzhou, the lord only entertains one general, commands tens of thousands of troops, and attacks the plain, so why worry about it? ”

"The common enemy is not as good as dividing the enemy, and the enemy yang is not as good as the enemy yin, wonderful, wonderful!" Yuan Shao stroked his palms and smiled.

In fact, Liu Dai had already done this once before, but Wang Yuqi was a good player and played the former around, but this strategy of besieging Xuzhou and attacking Qingzhou was very clever.

"That's it, Ziyuan, this matter will be left to you, do it well, don't let me down."

"Yes." (To be continued)
