Dusk comes with milky white fog.

The entire plain was littered with the corpses of Chu troops and Yuan Shao's cavalry infantry.

Nie Zefeng looked around and saw corpses everywhere. The flags, weapons, golden drums, horns of Chu and Yuan armies were scattered on the fields...

A large flock of crows flying in the sky made a loud noise.

The cavalry mobilized by the Chu army crossed the screen, and the sergeants looked back.

Gongsun Ao: "General, we have checked all the corpses, and the Xiongnu Chanyu himself has not been found!"

Nie Zefeng commanded the personal guards around him and said: "Send light cavalry in all directions and search for me inch by inch! I must find General Cao Xing's body. In addition, I must also search for the bodies of local generals."

Su Fei, the commander of the Royal Forest Army next to him, shouted: "Yes..."

Then he rode away.

Nie Zefeng continued to shout: "Herald!"

The herald rode forward: "The general is here!"

"Except for Su Fei's troops who are here to clean up the battlefield, all other troops will follow General Lu Bu to attack Yuan Jun's camp, destroy Yuan Jun's camp with all their strength, and then continue the attack until they reach Guandu!"

The herald asked doubtfully: "Including General Cao Xing's department?"

Nie Zefeng asked angrily: "Of course, let him contact me quickly!"

However, Nie Zefeng suddenly thought that General Cao Xing had just been killed in battle, so naturally there was no one to direct the deployment. Nie Zefeng hurriedly added: "Order Han Hao, the fierce general of Xiliang, to temporarily command Cao Xing's army. After Han Hao is in place, quickly move closer to me."

The herald replied happily: "I have the order..."

The herald rode away.

Looking at the battlefield, Nie Zefeng sighed: "After all, Hebei is a generous warrior who dares to fight. Zhao Bing is indeed brave and good at fighting, and his defeat is so tragic! All armies, follow me to continue to pursue, flatten Yuan Shao's camp, and sweep across the entire Xuchang

area!"

Nie Zefeng's eyes narrowed, his horse jumped out, and the group of riders followed.

The magnificent battlefield is like an oil painting.

It outlines a magnificent situation.

Nie Zefeng's team of men and horses walked through the dust and corpses in the fields and rushed out of this beautiful picture.

Yuan Jun’s main camp at Guandu ferry and Yuan Shao’s main camp.

There was an air of failure in the big tent, and the counselors who once talked loudly began to fall into a deathly silence, and the generals also had scars on their bodies and said nothing.

However, their silence was broken by the return of the two generals outside the tent.

At this time, two generals, Han Qiong and Wen Chou, dusted themselves off and walked into the Chinese army's tent to report on the current battle situation.

Han Qiong was the most famous general in Hebei. Since he was relatively old, he naturally left the matter of showing his face to Wen Chou.

Wen Chou reported to Yuan Shao that the basic situation was that Yuan Jun had stabilized the front line and basically maintained it on the Guandu front line. After this battle, Yuan Jun actually lost 200,000 troops, and most of the legion's organizations were crippled. Now Yuan Jun is in urgent need of new troops.

Replenishment of troops.

Yuan Shao ordered the two generals to sit on their seats and began to discuss the future military affairs.

After Yuan Shao issued the order to mobilize Yuan Tan from Qingzhou, Yuan Xi from Youzhou, Yuan Shang from Jizhou, and senior officials from Bingzhou, the big tent began to fall into silence again.

The civil servants and military generals seemed to have anticipated this.

The civil servants who advocated the pre-war period naturally looked depressed.

Before the war, the counselors who advocated conservative use of troops appeared complacent.

Ju Shou, Yuan Shao's army is a genius but his appearance is not revealed.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the throne of the main tent, inspected his civil servants and generals.

Yuan Shao wanted to be the first to break the silence. He took a sip from his wine glass and said slowly: "My newly appointed General Zhang Yi of Xuchang did nothing wrong, but he is just incompetent. From now on, anyone who is incompetent will be dismissed by me.

"

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he gently placed the wine glass on the case, hoping that the Chinese army's tent was still quiet.

Yuan Shao shook the cloak on the front of his thigh, then shook it back hard and continued: "I don't want to talk more about the appointment and removal of personnel today. If you are capable, you will be removed. If you are not, you will be dismissed. There is nothing to talk about. Today, I want to talk to you.

Let’s talk about the issue of the Chu army. You all know that in a battle outside Xuchang City, our army lost 200,000 troops, and the enemy lost tens of thousands. Today I want to hear what the civil and military ministers think of this matter?

It doesn’t matter if you say it!”

It was quiet inside the big tent, and no one seemed to want to speak.

The anger in Yuan Shao's heart couldn't help but burst out, but he still tried to control himself, swallowed the bad breath gently and asked: "If you don't say anything, then I will say it. I have a hunch. If this continues,

Sooner or later I will be beaten back to my hometown in Jizhou by this brat, or I may even have to flee to the Huns!"

All the civil servants and generals in the big tent immediately felt an indescribable shock. To be more precise, it was a shock to their souls.

Xu You, Guo Tu and other counselors dodged Yuan Shao's gaze.

Yuan Shao looked among the crowd. The civil servants on the left lowered their heads in thought. The generals on the right also lowered their heads and said nothing. Among the crowd, he found the Chu army general Yan Liang who was the first to fight the Chu army and asked: "

Is General Yan Liang here?"

Yan Liang stood up and replied: "The end will be here!"

Yuan Shao asked calmly: "General Yan Liang, tell me! If you are asked to fight the Chu army again, are you willing to go?"

Yan Liang thought about it for a while, and then replied: "General, if you want to say that you are familiar with the Chu army, only the last general in the entire army. Within a few months, I first communicated with Wei Yan.

The soldiers of the Chu army united to fight against the soldiers of the Cao army around Xuchang. Later, I also came into contact with the soldiers of the Chu army in other legions.

regiment, in the battle outside Xuchang City, my regiment was the first to pick up the Chu army. Originally, I wanted to lure them into our army's Five Elements Formation, but the result..., now I don't know where to start,

Hey, what else are you talking about? There is nothing to say. As long as the general gives an order, the general can immediately ride on horseback to defeat them again!"

Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the big tent.

Yuan Shao's tense nerves had just been relieved, and he actually smiled and said: "General Yan Liang is mighty. General Wen Chou, what about you, what do you think?"

After Wen Chou waited for Yan Liang to reach his position, he then lined up and replied: "Soldiers are the most important matter of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. A general is a professional soldier. He only executes the orders of the general and leads the army to fight.

, As for whom to fight and when to fight, only the general can decide such important matters."

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "I can understand the attitude of the generals. After this war, many of you have lost the battle, and you have also lost 200,000 troops. Many of your regiments have been crippled, but you put it down.

I will replenish your troops within half a month, and we will definitely fight the Chu army. Generals, I am also a leader, so don't be so afraid of death. Counselors, where are you non-soldiers?"

Yuan Shao commented, looking at the main hall as quiet as water.

Finally, the counselor Jushu walked out and replied: "Wei minister has something to say."

Yuan Shao took the words and replied: "Yes, Sir Jushou, but you are called the number one in Hebei. You should have said so long ago."

Jushou first informed the surrounding civil servants and counselors, and then said: "General, although we have experienced a big battle this time and our army suffered heavy losses, according to my observation, the Chu army is mostly cavalry. They are good at running and attacking, so they will not win."

Some territories will just rest and recuperate, but will choose to continue to expand northward. Two years later, Chu King Nie Zefeng rose from Xuzhou, and then

Later, he began to expand his territory, and wars continued for two years. Why? Some people attribute it to the injustice of the Chu army or the weakness of the princes. In fact, these are all wrong. That is because after Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the world fell into a melee among warlords from all over the world.

The people of Li were looking forward to reunification and to be able to reduce their heavy tax burden. Therefore, wherever Nie Zefeng's Chu army attacked, the land law was

Wherever they could not succeed, the peasants there enthusiastically joined the Chu army. After this war, the Chu army increased to 300,000, which was as good as ours. However, our army had already lost far to the opponent in terms of morale, so we

He advocated uniting all the princes in the world, including Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Wuhuan Moton, Xiongnu, Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, Song Yi, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Xichuan

Liu Zhang, Jiangdong Sun Ce, and Liu Yao contacted all the people we could contact one by one, and gathered the soldiers of the eighteen princes in the world to jointly kill Nie Zefeng. The princes in the world would definitely respond, because Nie Zefeng occupied Jingzhou in the south, invaded Huainan in the east, and expedition to the north

The Central Plains has become the number one prince in the world, and the heroes of the world must defeat this King of Chu reasonably for their own heroic dreams."

After Jushou finished speaking, no one applauded, no one did not admire him from the bottom of his heart, and no one did not praise him.

Yuan Shao listened attentively and replied excitedly and generously: "Yes, quite good. Why haven't I heard such happy remarks before? Why hasn't anyone given such an idea?"

At this time, Tian Feng, who claimed to be the first counselor in Yuan Shao's army, stood up and said, "General, I think we should consider peace talks now and adopt the strategy of talking and fighting at the same time."

Yuan Shao leaned on his big tiger-backed chair and said angrily: "Oh, is this how Tian Canjun sees it?"

Tian Feng explained: "The war with Chu has begun since the moment we attacked Xuchang. As Jushou Jijiu said, war is inevitable. However, our head-on tactics may not be able to defeat Chu.

The military. Therefore, we use silence. We use military and political means to support each other.

To deal with the enemy Chu army, if we rely purely on military means and our powerful force, we should not forget that military is a kind of evil. War is a danger. Who wins and who loses, who is strong and who is weak, is decided in the blink of an eye.

. Use one’s life and death to fight for victory. Once you fall, you can’t get back up, and it’s too late to regret.”

As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the palace nodded in agreement, and there was a buzz of agreement.

Xu You's expression became hesitant.

Yuan Shao commented impatiently: "Mr. Tian Feng has always been known as a wise man, and his words are still very weighty. In other words, are we really going to have peace talks with the Chu army?"

The big tent immediately fell into another quiet atmosphere of urgency.
