The identities of these people are not simple. They did not want to quickly end the war against Gongsun Zan, so as to check and balance each other and take the opportunity to suppress each other.

But they never expected that Yuan Shao would use Xi Yu's method to suppress the disputes among the counselors with the power of thunder, and resolutely fight against Gongsun Zan quickly, thus achieving the results he achieved today.

Only then did he have more time and energy to prepare for the trip south.

Among Yuan Shao's advisers, they were generally divided into four factions: Ju Shou, Guo Tu, Tian Feng and Xu You, each of whom led a faction.

Tian Feng is a man of strong character and always speaks his mind.

Xu You is smooth and shrewd, and he has followed Yuan Shao very early, so he has a good relationship with Yuan Shao.

Jushou is the representative of the Hebei gentry, with a large clan behind him, and he also represents the interests of countless gentry.

As for Guo Tu... he believes in the golden mean and is good at protecting oneself with caution.

Among the four major factions, the ones who fought the most fiercely were Xu You and Tian Feng.

Both of them wished that Yuan Shao would only obey their own strategies.

Yuan Shao also liked to listen to the opinions of these two people, and then made his own strategies and arrangements.

However, when he had few soldiers and few generals, he could still make decisive decisions. However, now that he has many people and a huge territory, Yuan Shao is starting to feel a little constrained.

"Everyone, why are you silent?"

After saying this, Yuan Shao smiled and glanced at the generals and counselors, and then he set his sights on Ju Yi.

This time, Ju Yi took the lead in quickly defeating Gongsun Zan. He defeated Baima Yi Cong, directly destroying Gongsun Zan's last hope.

"Ju Yi, now that our north is stable, what are your next plans?"

Ju Yi was sitting in the second seat at the general's seat. He clasped his hands and said, "Returning to my lord, I think it is time to recuperate and recuperate, strengthen your troops and horses, and then plan for Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou after you have sufficient weapons and provisions."

"At that time, our iron hooves will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao with one fatal blow!"

"That's true!"

"His grandma's!! Cao Cao, relying on the emperor's control, actually threatened to ask the lord to surrender!!"

"How arrogant this thief is, I must teach this thief a lesson!"

"This is so true! Our next step is to attack Cao Cao and let this thief dedicate all his territory to you, my lord!"

"That's right, when the traitor Cao raised his army, it was only because of the favor and help from his lord that he, Cao Aha, became what he is today!!"

Ju Yi's words didn't mean to start a war now, but he didn't want to make a group of generals' blood boil.

These generals love nothing more than marching and fighting.

They know very well that fighting can not only earn their own reputation, but can also make achievements through it, and gain greater military power. As a military general, only the greater the military power, the higher the status.

Nowadays, a group of generals under Yuan Shao have the same thoughts as Cao Cao's clan members, and they all want to strive for greater achievements. If they capture Cao Cao's territory, the North can be unified.

Then go south to Jingzhou, and then defeat Jiangdong. In less than ten years, you can unify the Han Dynasty.

If that time comes, it will no longer be a simple matter of conferring officials and generals, but the conferment of territory!

Once you become a marquis, you will have your own territory, and the whole family will prosper from then on. In troubled times, isn't this the purpose of making achievements?

When the generals were excited, Tian Feng suddenly said, "It is inevitable to attack Cao Cao."

Hearing this, the generals immediately became quiet and looked at Tian Feng.

Tian Feng is Yuan Shao's number one counselor. He is a well-known person in Jizhou's opposition. Yuan Shao invited Tian Feng to him just now after a lot of courtesy and courtesy. The purpose is to let him make suggestions and formulate future development strategies.

At this time, Yuan Shao also looked at Tian Feng expectantly.

It was originally just a piece of advice, but now the goal has been achieved.

He asked Ju Yi what he meant, but it was just a way to attract others. At this moment, his goal had been achieved.

Tian Feng said with a smile, "I understand very well that all the generals are eager to make contributions, but if we start a war with Cao Cao now, although we have a better chance of winning, we will also suffer heavy losses. In this way, we will lose the power to the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in the south.

The nomadic forces in the north are causing harm to the border."

"My lord, there are still northern tribes that need to be gathered together, and there is Qingzhou Lu Bu in the south. This man's temperament is wavering, and now he doesn't know where he is going."

"We must use some means to win over Lu Bu and let him harass Cao Cao."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly, "What you said is true."

"However, Lu Bu and I had an old grudge, but fortunately it is not an irreparable grudge. Now facing a common enemy, I believe Lu Bu will not refuse."

Tian Feng bowed and said, "Now, my lord owns Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou. If you win over Qingzhou, you can own the land of the four states. Moreover, Youzhou is suitable for opening Hu City and promoting the commercial development of the three states. It is determined that

You can make a lot of money.”

"At the same time, my lord has adopted the military and civilian farming system to reserve grain and grass. Moreover, the land in Jizhou is all plains, and the transportation of grain and grass is very convenient. It only takes three days at the minimum and 21 days at the most."

"In this way, the power of soldiers and horses will surely be continuous. Moreover, our supply of food and grass will be absolutely sufficient."

Hearing this, Xu You suddenly smiled and was very happy, "Hahaha..."

After a moment, Xu You stood up and smiled calmly, "The person who bribed him in the first place was Hebei Xiyu."

As he spoke, Xu You looked arrogant and said: "My lord, I, Xu You, are not blindly arrogant. I am teasing this person. He seems to be very knowledgeable, but he is not that scary."

"I have a spy who came to report that Xi Yu was once troubled by the Cao clan. My spy once reported to me that Yang Biao and his son had made a rebellion in Xuchang before."

"But none of the Cao family members spoke for him, so Xi Yu could only go alone. From this point of view, Xi Yu also has a weakness."

"Maybe it's due to lack of etiquette, or maybe Cao Cao doesn't like it. From this point of view, it seems that we can find ways to drive a wedge between these two people. Taking advantage of Xi Yu's relationship with Cao's clan is probably a wise way."

"Very good." Hearing this, Yuan Hao said with a happy face.

If this matter is true, it is a decisive opportunity: as long as Cao Cao's chief adviser can be killed before the war starts, it will definitely affect Cao Cao's war mentality.

"Haha, it's so good. I will definitely take advantage of each family's strengths and bring them into full play.

Afterwards, the strategy was sorted out and taken to the government office, where they worked hard to build armaments, recruit new soldiers, and worked very hard to train horses and cavalry and long-distance attack formations."

After a moment, Xu You stood up and smiled calmly, "The person who bribed him in the first place was Hebei Xiyu."

As he spoke, Xu You looked arrogant and said: "My lord, I, Xu You, are not blindly arrogant. I am teasing this person. He seems to be very knowledgeable, but he is not that scary."

"I have a spy who came to report that Xi Yu was once troubled by the Cao clan. My spy once reported to me that Yang Biao and his son had caused rebellion in Xuchang before."

"But no Cao family member spoke for him, so Xi Yu could only go alone. From this point of view, Xi Yu also has a weakness."

"Maybe it's due to lack of etiquette, or maybe Cao Cao doesn't like it. From this point of view, it may be a wise move to find ways to drive a wedge between these two people, and to use Xi Yu's relationship with Cao's clan members."

"Very good." Hearing this, Yuan Hao said with a happy face.

If this matter is true, it is a decisive opportunity: as long as Cao Cao's chief adviser can be killed before the war starts, it will definitely affect Cao Cao's war mentality.

"Haha, it's so good. I will definitely take advantage of each family's strengths and bring them into full play.

Put the strategy into shape, go to the government office, work hard to build ordnance, recruit new soldiers, and train horses and cavalry and long-distance attack formations."

"I firmly believe that within three years, we will march south and attack Xuchang in one fell swoop!"

"Lord Shengming!!"

For a moment, the counselors cheered.

A group of generals also looked at each other, and everyone understood the meaning of Yuan Hao's words.

This matter must not be rushed. Now that we have just arrived in Youzhou, it is time to recuperate. However, there are still many things to do before the battle.

For example, a military advisor.

When leaving, Yuan Shao left behind Xu You.

Seeing everyone gradually walking away, Yuan Shao sighed, "How much do you know about Xi Yu?"

When Xu You heard this, he realized that this was what Yuan Shao was doing.

"The specific strength is not yet known."

"However, Xi Yu comes from a humble background. For such a commoner to have such strength now, he must not be underestimated."

However, because of this, Xi Yu was hated by the gentry class.

It has to be said that Xi Yu is holding a double-edged sword. Although he can kill enemies and Cao thieves, he can easily pay a heavy price for himself."

"It is said that Xi Yu only has five hundred troops in the army, and according to Xi Yu's requirements, these people must stay away from Cao Cao's advisers and never compete with them for favor."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded in approval and said, "This is a smart move..."
