Feng Ji's strategy is very insidious.

Use Gongsun Zan's hand to suppress Han Fu.

Taking advantage of General Baima's eager ambition to acquire Jizhou, it turned into a card in his hand, and then forced Han Fu, who was the weakest in this troubled water.

If the strategy is successful.

Yuan Shaoneng won the entire Jizhou without bloodshed.

And Gongsun Zan, who was used by him as a spearman, not only worked hard and mobilized the army to go south, but in the end he didn't get anything, but made wedding dresses for others.

Disgusting the opponent, fulfilling himself.

How is this plan not negative?

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard about it.

Couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing loudly.

"As expected of Yuantu, he really has a beautiful heart and a good plan in his belly. If this plan works, Jizhou can be settled!"

"Not only did I win Jizhou, but Gongsun Bogui's plan also fell through. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

Feng Ji stroked his beard a little proudly.

Obviously, he is quite satisfied with the strategy he offered, and he believes that there is a lot to do.

It's just that Yuan Shao was excited for a while.

But suddenly it occurred to me that something was wrong.

He pointed to the north with his finger, and then said with a little worry.

"If the matter is accomplished, Jizhou will be in my hands, but Gongsun Zan will definitely become angry after being teased by me. How can he quit with me?"

"With the prestige of Gongsun Bogui's Youzhou iron cavalry, if you want to fight me with all your heart, with the strength of my troops, even if I can win the battle, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory!"

This is a very real question.

So that it was difficult for Fengji to answer for a while.

And see this situation.

Xu You, who had been silent all this time, smiled secretly.

He is a rather arrogant person.

Therefore, he didn't say a word before, and couldn't say any better strategy than Fengyuantu, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Now finally found a chance.

How can the surname Feng be more beautiful than before?

……

He dusted the dust off his clothes.

Then take a step forward.

He clasped his hands and cupped his fists towards Yuan Shao, and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I have a method that can withstand Gongsun Zan's elite Youzhou cavalry."

Yuan Shao suddenly became interested.

There was a glint in his eyes.

He couldn't help but sat upright, and asked anxiously: "It's He Liangce, Ziyuan tell me quickly!"

Xu You took two steps forward again.

Came to Yuan Shao's desk.

Pointing to the information on the desk, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, since the Cao family in the south is also capable of fighting, and this Cao Zixiu is also a famous general in the world, why don't we write a book and introduce the Cao family to the Jizhou chessboard?"

"They are all capable of conquering and fighting. Let the Cao family's army fight against the Youzhou iron cavalry in the north. Let them fight against each other. Instead, we will reap the benefits."

"Isn't that wonderful?"

The voice fell.

Yuan Shao did not show a very excited reaction.

On the contrary, he was a little bit puzzled.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Filled with puzzlement, he asked: "The Cao family is doing well in Yanzhou, so there's no need to go north to Jizhou to deal with such a powerful enemy as the Gongsun family, right?"

"What's more, Cao Mengde is not a stupid person. If I act like this, how can he not see that I am using a knife to kill people, and how can he be willing to be used by me."

Yuan Shao felt that this was a foolish move.

It's a bit like Cao Cao is a fool.

Right now, the Cao family is still the same as himself, only owning one county and not even controlling Yanzhou.

How could it be possible that because of his own invitation, he led the elite troops northward to eat Gongsun Zan?

Unless Cao Cao's head is kicked by a donkey.

Otherwise, such a thing cannot be done.

……

Xu You can come up with such a strategy.

That means he's not just talking nonsense.

Therefore, after Yuan Shao's rebuttal, Xu You immediately explained: "If it is empty talk, Cao Mengde will naturally not lead his troops to the north, but what if it is profitable?"

"After the Fujun captured Jizhou and became Jizhou Mu, our army has such a vast land, and even has a lot of food, grass and money. How can these things be put in the treasury to make them rot?"

"It is absolutely possible to promise Cao Mengde a lot of money and promise to give him a lot of food and money. If he can help our army fight against Gongsun Zan, and even defeat Gongsun Zan."

"Then you can definitely come forward and help him win Yanzhou. With such a huge benefit in front of him, can Cao Mengde not be tempted?"

Yuan Shao was silent.

He began to seriously think about the feasibility of Xu Youzhi's words, weighing the pros and cons.

First of all, one thing can be made clear.

That is, if he and Cao Cao can defeat Gongsun Zan and clear up this huge scourge in the north of Jizhou, then it will be worthwhile no matter what you think.

No matter how much food and money you pay, you will earn money.

Even helping Cao Cao take over the entire Yanzhou, this is not too difficult in Yuan Shao's view, after all, there is no particularly strong force in Yanzhou.

As long as you can defeat Gongsun Zan.

It's all worth it.

And can the troops brought in from the Cao family play a role in this battle and clear the obstacles for themselves?

Yuan Shao couldn't help picking up the information on the table, and read it carefully from beginning to end again.

After careful consideration of some of the specific data described above, as well as the description of the tactics used in the march, he secretly affirmed in his heart.

It would be impossible to fight Gongsun Zan with the power of the Cao family alone.

But if you add his Yuan Shao's help...

Under the joint efforts of the two.

Can General White Horse still gallop?
It must be difficult!

……

I pondered for a while.

Yuan Shao stood up suddenly.

He walked quickly to Xu You and Feng Ji, raised a finger, and said quietly to them.

"It's not impossible to introduce Cao's forces into Jizhou, but how can we ensure that after defeating Gongsun Zan, Cao Mengde will retreat with peace of mind?"

"One more thing, owning the entire land of Jizhou is only my first step for Yuan Shao, and it is not the end. One day, Cao Mengde, who owns the entire land of Yanzhou, will also become my enemy and become my stumbling block."

"Let me promise to make great profits, and even control Yanzhou for him, won't I become an enemy and set a stumbling block for myself in the future?"

Yuan Shao's vision is very long-term.

Even in his heart, he regarded Cao Cao as an imaginary enemy, which was not so far away.

However, Xu You listened.

It's just a laugh.

Totally dismissive.

"Your Majesty is serious!"

"How can Yanzhou, which was destroyed by military disasters, compare to Jizhou, which has a vast land and rich resources and is still intact?"

"With Cao Mengde's background, how can he compare with your fourth generation and third son, the son of the Yuan family?"

"Even if this Cao Zixiu has the appearance of a famous general, with his own strength, how can he defeat your powerful generals like clouds and countless elite soldiers?"

……

speak here.

Xu You paused for a while.

Then he waved his hand.

He said very boldly: "With these three disadvantages, what scruples do you still have? You can boldly and confidently support Cao Cao and introduce him to Jizhou!"

If Cao Ang is on the scene.

Listening to Xu You's words.

I'm afraid I can't help but stand up and applaud him.

This is too good to say!

Xu Ziyuan looked like a loyal person!
Is this something wrong with our own people?
Correct!
Just like what I said just now, a little bit more fooling around, the lower the better for our old Cao family, the higher the better for his old Yuan family.

The more so.

The more it can provide a lot of time for the steady development of the Cao family and the quiet accumulation of strength.

Wait until Yuan Shao reacts.

The Cao family has already become powerful.

Xu You, Xu You.

If you are not hacked to death by Xu Chu in the future, then we, Cao Ang, will have to make you a high-ranking official, after all, you have paid a lot for the foundation of the Cao family.

……

What will happen in the future.

No one knows this.

But at the very least, Yuan Shao has already been persuaded by Xu You, and his last worry has been beaten to powder by Xu You's three inferiors.

Although Yuan Shao is not as arrogant as Yuan Shu.

But also quite proud of the generation.

He will not look down on Cao Cao.

But it's not to the point of secretly underestimating that Cao Cao will be stronger than himself.

So Xu You said so.

He immediately took it for granted.

Immediately made up his mind, handed over to Xu You and Feng Ji at the same time, and said solemnly.

"Then act accordingly!"

"Lead Gongsun Zan to go south first, then threaten Han Fu with this matter, and after taking over Jizhou, ask Cao Cao to lead his troops to go north to fight Gongsun Zan together with Cao!"

Both of them returned a salute.

"It's just as the lord said!"

A strategy of devouring Jizhou, turning against customers, and even killing people with a knife, and diverting the water to the east, was discussed by several people in this small hall.

I just don't know if Yuan Shao's plan, which he thought was seamless, would still be successful now that Cao Ang is a variable.

…………

Regarding the many things that happened in Balhae County.

Cao Ang, who was on his way back, didn't know.

Now he has left from the three counties in the north, leading Zhang Liao, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and other generals, as well as more than [-] troops from the headquarters.

Besides.

There are also more than [-] surrendered troops.

The reason why the number of captives increased again was that nearly ten thousand people were also harvested in Yuncheng, which Zhang Liao guarded.

Putting it all together, it can be regarded as packing most of the large Yellow Turban army that came to the southwest.

Now think back to the situation of the previous days.

And the great harvest since this time.

Cao Ang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

After defeating Zhang Rao's troops who attacked Linqiu County, Cao Ang led his troops to guard the captives who surrendered, keeping an eye on them day and night.

On the morning of the third day.

Xia Houyuan led five thousand soldiers from his headquarters and rushed to Linqiu County, where he joined forces with Cao Ang. Cao's army finally approached ten thousand troops.

As such.

It was completely suppressed, and the soldiers who had begun to become a little restless.

And after some deterrence.

Cao Ang entrusted many affairs to Xia Houyuan, and he took thousands of troops to support Zhang Liao in Yuncheng.

After all, according to the surrendered general He Luo, when passing through Yuncheng, most of the Yellow Turban Army also sent out a team of more than 1 troops to attack.

But Zhang Liao had only 3000 people.

If Cao Ang didn't lead his troops to support, then Zhang Liao might not know that the year of the monkey will be over when Zhang Liao solves the crisis in Yuncheng, that's why he made this trip.

However, the support process was quite smooth.

At this stage, Zhang Liao's commanding ability has not yet reached its peak, but he has already shown great potential.

Leading 3000 people, facing an enemy army that was several times larger than his own, he kept it airtight and impressive.

If Cao Ang gave him a cavalry at the beginning.

He is afraid that he can also take the soldiers out of the city for a stroll.

Just in this case.

Cao Ang signaled the news with a golden eagle and informed Zhang Liao who had arrived in the city. The two cooperated inside and outside, and fought a pincer attack and encirclement battle against the remnants of the Yellow Turban bandits.

A natural victory.

Even compared to the first battle in Linqiu County, where more than [-] people escaped, almost all surrendered in this battle except for those who had died in the siege.

Wait until the parties converge.

There is now such a big stall.

…………

Just when Cao Ang's thoughts were racing.

Xia Houyuan rode his horse to come to him from behind, then cupped his hands at him, and said in a rather worried tone.

"General, isn't it a bit too slow to march like this? According to this speed, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days to reach Dingtao."

Xia Houyuan now admires Cao Ang very much.

Originally, he used to address Cao Ang directly, but now in the army he also calls him General.

It was really a battle in Linqiu County, Cao Ang fought so beautifully, whether it was the battle damage or the harvest, it was enough to make people dumbfounded.

At least when Xia Houyuan arrived with his troops.

He was startled by the scene at that time.

I thought that I led my troops here to save the situation, so I was ready for a hard fight, no matter what, I was prepared to solve the crisis in Linqiu County.

Only after the result came did we know.

It turned out to be asking him to come and clean up the mess!

My good nephew, who had already wiped out all the mighty tens of thousands of enemy troops, asked his uncle to come here, just to help take care of the prisoners, and he didn't need to use a knife or a gun.

This matter is a bit too outrageous.

It can be regarded as completely convinced Xia Houyuan.

Coupled with Cao Ang's status and status here, it is logical for him to call him "General", which naturally has no psychological burden.

……

He heard Xia Houyuan's concerns.

Cao Ang sat up straight, rode on the horse, and glanced roughly from front to back.

This is a huge team that can't be seen at a glance, it can be said to be mighty, but nearly [-]% of the people are composed of sallow, emaciated and weak refugees, so the speed of movement can be called turtle speed, as if they are just walking Moving forward little by little.

With such a slow speed, it is not surprising that Yuan Shao, who was far away in Bohai County, received the battle report of Cao Ang's victory over the Yellow Turban Bandits, but he himself failed to reach his home.

And the reason why the marching speed is so slow.

In addition to the huge team, the extreme lack of discipline, and Cao Jun's need to manage a large number of prisoners with very few people, these are various reasons.

The most important thing is that the surrender is too empty.

Plus distraction.

The state of body and mind is very poor.

It is itself transformed from refugees.

In addition, Cao Ang also implemented a food rationing system along the way. It can only be said that these people can't starve to death, and if they want to be full, it doesn't exist.

Therefore, each of them is exhausted.

The movement is naturally not going anywhere.

of course.

even so.

Cao Ang would never let them be full.

It's not about saving food, but this kind of weak and weak state is best managed. If everyone is full, can they still be tied up?

So after looking back around.

Cao Ang just nodded to Xia Houyuan.

"What uncle said is true, but there are many unavoidable things at the moment. It doesn't matter if we are slower. As long as we can ensure that we can reach the destination safely and smoothly, even if we are slower, it is acceptable."

Such a truth.

How could Xia Houyuan not know?
He was actually worried about another point.

……

"General, our army's current food and grass are not enough. Although we have collected a lot of food before leaving, it still can't stand the food of tens of thousands of people."

"If it continues to take more than ten days, I'm afraid our army's food and grass will be exhausted before we reach Dingtao County, and there will be big troubles at that time!"

Xia Houyuan's words.

Cao Ang couldn't help frowning slightly.

This is indeed a big trouble.

The supply consumption of tens of thousands of people is indeed terrifying. Generally, such a huge army will have a special supply team when it goes out to fight.

Otherwise, you can't afford to consume it at all.

Although Cao Ang has already reduced the daily needs of most of the surrendered troops, no matter how much they reduce it, at least the rations to keep them alive cannot be reduced.

Therefore, the daily food consumption.

Still a huge number.

With what they carried, it seemed that it was not enough to support the return to Dingtao.

But after thinking about it.

Cao Ang still calmly ordered: "The speed of the march will definitely not be increased, and the rations will not be reduced any more. Look for any villages and cities along the way, spend some money, or recruit them locally, and replenish them later. That's right."

"In addition to this, I sent someone to send a battle report to my father before, which clearly stated that there were tens of thousands of prisoners."

"If it's as expected, if you walk forward for two or three days, you should be able to bump into Uncle Yuan Rang who came to transport food."

This statement came out.

Only then did Xia Houyuan feel relieved.

After cupping his hands and cupping his fists, he galloped his horse back to its original position.
