Although Yuan Shao claimed to have an army of 100,000, Gongsun Zan also had tens of thousands of people in the city. He was defending the city with all his strength, and with abundant food and grass, it was indeed difficult to conquer.

Unless there are variables.

Yuan Xi doesn't care anymore. He only has one goal now, which is to capture Yi Jing as soon as possible.

He said: "We must find a way to lure their main force out of the city and destroy them before they can break into the city."

Everyone thinks this makes sense, but the key is, how does the other party come out?

Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "The early stage will definitely be a war of attrition. The key point is the few days before the Black Mountain Army is about to arrive."

He told his idea, and when everyone heard it, they shook their heads at first. This idea was too risky!

Yuan Xi said: "If we do not divide our forces to resist the Montenegrin army, it will definitely be difficult for our army if we let the two sides turn around."

Tian Feng said: "Even if the master's plan succeeds and our army breaks into the city, it will not be easy to capture the hundreds of watchtowers. It may take another month."

Yuan Xi said something again, and everyone's eyes lit up. This method sounded indeed feasible!

Jushou was surprised. He had proposed this method to Yuan Shao in private, but Yuan Xi had also thought of it!

He said aloud: "But a few days are too short. If the Montenegrin Army speeds up its march, it will block us in the city and put us in a dilemma."

Yuan Xi said: "So someone needs to hold them, but it doesn't need to be too far, just a few days' journey away."

After hearing this, the counselors felt more and more that this idea was feasible. Yuan Xi finally said: "Of course, this is only a last resort. Maybe the previous city was conquered first?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao showed a smile on his face: "Xianyi's words make the most sense. If we don't fight first, who knows what will happen?"

"The attack on the city will begin the day after tomorrow!"
