"We will take advantage of the victory and attack directly to Leling County and occupy both sides of the Yellow River Jishui. In this way, we can block the land to and from Qingzhou and make Xiyu homeless in Jizhou."

Hearing this, Ju Yi's face was very gloomy, he shook his head and said, "You... your idea is too simple. Now in the entire Yellow River line, we have never won a victory. Now, the morale of the army is very weak, and we have nothing."

The solution.”

"But looking back at Cao Cao and Xi Yu's army, they are following them step by step and attacking step by step. On the surface, Cao Cao has not made any achievements in Liyang in the past few months, but in fact, it is because of Cao Cao's presence that Liyang has doubled.

Feeling pressure.”

"In this way, Youzhou's soldiers and horses will be unable to move at all within a few months, so we have fallen into passivity. According to General Yi, the best way now is to wait for problems in Cao Cao's rear before we attack."

"Why are there problems in Cao Cao's rear, and how long do we have to wait? Is it possible that my words are of no use to you now?" Yuan Tan was very unhappy, and his cheeks twitched a few times.

Ju Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

Your words... Why does it work?! When does it work?!

I have followed your father for many years and supported him as the shepherd of Jizhou, allowing him to have the prestige he has today. With such achievements, few people can compare with me, but you are a junior and have never treated me like an uncle in the long time you have been in the plains.

.

After all, I am your father’s benefactor and your Yuan family’s benefactor!

At this moment, Ju Yi felt as if he had eaten a mosquito. The feeling was very uncomfortable but he could not express it.

However, the father and son of the Yuan family are so similar. Yuan Tan is almost exactly the same as his father Yuan Shao: he has a handsome appearance, a good temperament on the outside, and a sanctimonious appearance, but he is very proud on the inside.

"General, if what I said is true, there are Sun Ce and Jingzhou to the south of Cao Cao. If a war breaks out in these two places, Cao Cao will have to go back and defend his base camp."

"That's it, so we can wait a little longer. It's almost time now, and the other princes can't bear it any longer."

"Oh, how come you can see it?"

Hearing this, Yuan Tan gritted his teeth. Although he felt that what Xi Yu said was reasonable, he couldn't help it now.

If it were slower, all the nobles in Qinghe County and Pingyuan County might have surrendered.

Until then, their army will have a very difficult time in the city.

In the past few days, Yuan Tan had killed four celebrities to shock him, but he seemed to be unable to restrain him. As long as people could escape from the plains and reach the plains, they felt that they could regain their lives.

In comparison, poor scholars and ordinary people are more willing to go to Laoling County, where Xiyu is implementing benevolent policies. In this way, if he responds calmly, he will naturally not be in chaos and there will be no hidden danger of being surrounded.

As a result, many people found new escape routes.

From Pingyuan City, go north first, and then go to Hejian County. From Hejian County, go east directly and you can enter Leling. The troops sent by Xu Zhen are waiting to greet you.

In this way, without offending local officials, one can enter Leling County and witness with one's own eyes the benevolent government promoted by Xi Yu.

Under such a situation, Guandu started fighting again. Yuan Shao immediately led his army southward. Without almost any probing with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao directly gathered his troops to storm Cao Cao's Guandu camp.

Moreover, the two sides must have had many confrontations in a short period of time, whether they were attacking the camp at night or setting up a battle formation. Without hesitation, the two sides launched a series of cavalry charges and battle formations.

However, most of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were new soldiers with very little battlefield experience. It was difficult to demonstrate much combat effectiveness on the battlefield. After being ambushed by Cao Cao several times, they were frightened.

Until this moment, Yuan Shao still did not stop attacking. He had no intention of stopping the attack at all.

He ordered the battle to be fought day and night, and asked Wen Chou and Zhang to lead troops and horses to charge continuously. The damage was huge. In less than a month, the troops and horses dispersed at least 50,000 people.

But Cao Cao's losses this time were only about 10,000.

Moreover, the general's men suffered heavy losses.

However, looking back at Yuan Shao's military camp, Zhang He and Wen Chou were very tired and even felt that their future was bleak. Even if Wen Chou and Zhang He were brave, Yuan Shao had the ability to lead the army.

However, now, it is true that Yuan Shao has long lost the hearts of the people. As a result, Yuan Shao is only angry now, but anger cannot bring victory.

On the contrary, they were attacked by the troops of Cao Cao and Xi Yu. Therefore, after Cao Cao's troops withstood the first round of attacks by Yuan Shao's army, they cooperated with Xi Yu. This made Yuan Shao's army even more difficult.

At the end of July, when autumn was about to begin, Yuan Shao fell ill again.

…

At this moment, in the Liyang City Government Office, Yuan Shao looked sick and was lying on a soft couch. Everyone around him felt melancholy and uneasy when he saw Yuan Shao's expression.

Military generals Wen Chou and Zhang He were covered in blood and stood in front of Yuan Shao, while Ju Shou and Guo Tu stood on the other side. The four of them were in very complicated moods at the moment. During these days, if everyone was not anxious and busy, their mental state was in a daze.

Trance.

The era that Xi Yu lives in now is the feudal period. Everything in society is based on the person: such as clan, army, civil servants and conquest. It is difficult to change easily. And the most important thing for this gentry class is

Control the entrance to the imperial court.

As a result, it was difficult for scholars and people from poor families to enter the imperial court, and as a result, the intellectuals completely controlled the political affairs of the court and some areas.

The result is...

Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer losses. As they move up the hierarchy, in the end, the glory and happiness of the nobles all benefit from one person. When the court is stable, he is the emperor.

But now, Cao Cao coerces the emperor to order the princes. In today's world, the glory and wealth of the nobles benefit from the local princes.

Yuan Shao was born into a noble family. He belonged to an official family of four generations and three princes. He had thousands of books in his family. His connections were as intricate as the roots of a tree. No one dared to underestimate him. In addition, Yuan Shao himself had a heroic spirit. He was favored by many nobles and gathered around him.

Many noble people.

But the real purpose of the noble people is profit and survival, and it is difficult to talk about emotions.

Like now, Yuan Shao is old and sick, and is very lonely.

At this moment, Yuan Shao just felt regretful that he should not have killed Xu Ziyuan in the first place. He had followed Yuan Shao for many years. If he were still alive now, he would at least still have some friendship with Yuan Shao.

Unlike people like Ju Shou, Guo Tu, and Tian Feng, who have reached this point and can't even say a word of what is on their mind.

After the previous Party Rebellion, many people chose to follow the gentry and attach themselves to them. Of course, the most famous Yuan family was one of them.

However, Yuan Shao later accidentally lost the imperial power, got Dong Zhuo, and further gathered more nobles around him.

Also from that year, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, with the support of many noble families, competed in the world.

However, it was a pity that Yuan Shao betrayed the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao did not proclaim himself emperor, but he has been struggling to support him.

At the beginning, the situation was not like this. Yuan Shao's identity, background, character and abilities were all very strong. After receiving the support of nobles from various places, he quickly gathered into a force and rose rapidly.

But nowadays, dispersion is also quite rapid.

Even Cao Cao, in the original history, only obtained Yanzhou solely because of the "gifts" from Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others...
