Jizhou, Yecheng.

"Lord, Yuyang has been lost. If you don't send troops at this time, Youzhou may not be able to be the enemy. If Youzhou is broken, our army will fall into a state of being attacked by the enemy from both sides! I hope you think twice!" In Yuan Shao's mansion, Xin Ping knelt in front of Yuan Shao in bitterness and said in a stern voice.

Although the court stopped conquests and began to digest the spoils of this battle, the conquest of Lu Bu had just begun in Youzhou. Since the end of March, Lu Bu's troops left western Liaoning, they have won every battle. The Youzhou defenders were unable to resist Lu Bu's troops. In just three months, the entire Yuyang County was defeated, and the court's power in Youzhou had begun to border with the Hebei.

Although Yuan Shao's approach to maintaining military farms is not wrong now, he is consolidating himself, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The court obviously has no intention of letting Yuan Shao be idle. Lu Bu stirs up the storm of Youzhou, and letting Lu Bu continue to be so rampant, not only will Youzhou be difficult to protect, but Jizhou will not be able to ensure peace after the complete fall of Youzhou!

Yuan Shao's face looked a little ugly, and he looked at Ju Su and Tian Feng. He used the two of them to act, but now it seems that although this plan avoided the danger of the destruction of Jizhou, it forced him to face almost invincible harassment and almost completely lost his control over Youzhou.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Feng bowed and said, "Lu Bu seems to be extremely powerful, but he cannot hide his lack of troops. His soldiers are all border troops. Although they are brave, the lord finally has a kindness for these border troops. I think that at this time, only a general needs to be sent to station in Hejian and make the move to Yuyang at any time. Lu Bu is worried that the retreat will be cut off, so he dare not rashly continue to attack the city. The danger of Youzhou can be temporarily resolved."

"Temporary explanation?" Yuan Shao was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"Lord." Ju Su bowed and said, "Our army was defeated and its vitality was greatly damaged. Now the court is coming with the momentum of great victory. If we start a war with the court head-on at this moment, it would be very unwise. For the current plan, we should guard the city and contact the princes. When the court loses its strength, it will be an opportunity for our army to counterattack."

"Princes?" Guo Tu sneered: "As far as I know, the princes of the Central Plains have now fought together. What's the use of contacting them?"

"Otherwise." Tian Feng shook his head and said, "When the princes of the Central Plains fight, there will be a victory or defeat. When the princes of the Central Plains decide the victory or defeat, now the four princes, even if they cannot be united, will have a great increase in strength. We only need to restrain the main force of the court here. When the princes decide the victory or defeat, it will be a counterattack!"

"Ha~" Guo Tu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Yuan Hao said that we fought to the death to resist the court, but gave the princes of the Central Plains a great opportunity. I dare to ask Yuan Hao, as Yuan Hao said, and finally defeated the court, what power does the lord have to fight with the princes who integrated the Central Plains and Jiangdong? Where are you going to place the lord?"

Tian Feng frowned and said, "The court will be defeated. With the current power of the court, it will not be defeated. At that time, it will be a three-part situation. The lord occupies the land of Jizhou and Youzhou, and the court will occupy Guanzhong and Heluo. If you don't want to be attacked from both sides, the court will definitely give up the land of Qingzhou and Yuzhou. At that time, our army can sit and watch the tiger fight and wait for the opportunity."

"Ha~" Guo Tu sneered when he heard this: "The lord was originally the overlord of the north, occupying the three states, and the alliance of princes was also the most powerful force in our army, which also restrained the main force of the court, making the court have no time to look south. According to Yuan Hao's intention, this time, the lord became the weakest side. What is the reason?"

Yuan Shao's expression became even more ugly when he heard this. When he was the most glorious, he dominated the three states and looked at the world. Now that he lost, he could only sit and watch the heroes in the world compete, but he could only be a bystander. How could he bear this?

"Lord!" Ignoring Tian Feng who wanted to argue again, Guo Tu stepped forward and bowed and said, "If today I will divide the troops into three groups, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, each leading a group of troops to control Qinghe and Pingyuan. The emperor is at the weakest moment. Yecheng is only more than a hundred miles away from Liyang. Why not take the opportunity to gather heavy troops, attack Liyang and capture the emperor alive? If you win this battle, it will not only reverse the decline of our army, but also use the emperor to order the princes to take advantage of the disputes between the southern princes to gradually annex the imperial government. At that time, the world will be divided into three parts, and our army will only have the second one. Why worry about the uncertainty of the world!?"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. Tian Feng, who was standing beside him, was shocked and said quickly: "My lord, no! Although the imperial court divided its troops, the imperial army was all elite in a hundred battles, and our army was just a new establishment and had low morale. How can it be the enemy of the imperial tiger and wolf army? I hope the lord thinks twice!"

"Tian Yuanhao!" Guo Tu suddenly looked at Tian Feng and shouted loudly: "When the lord goes to war, you will always increase the morale of the court and destroy your own prestige. What is the reason?"

"These are all facts!" Tian Feng said with a calm face.

"What a fact." Guo Tu sneered: "If you hadn't shaken the morale of the army several times and several times, how could the lord be defeated by Li Yang?"

Tian Feng's face changed and he looked at Guo Tu and said, "Li Yang's defeat was defeated by the court's plan. What does it have to do with me?"

"What Yuan Hao meant is that Li Yang's defeat was all due to the lord's mistake?" Guo Tu smiled a little sinister.

Tian Feng was silent when he heard this. Calculated that Li Yang's defeat was all due to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao also had to bear a lot of responsibility. But he admitted directly at this time that he was really stupid. It was obvious that Guo Tu was digging a hole for himself. Looking at Yuan Shao's expression, he knew that Yuan Shao had been resentful of Li Yang's defeat, but he was unwilling to bear the responsibility of defeat by himself.

"Lord, what happened to Li Yang..." Ju Su wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yuan Shao.

"Enough!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, looked at Tian Feng, and snorted coldly: "Li Yang's affairs are a foregone conclusion, and I am unwilling to pursue them anymore, but what the Gong said is right. Now, the imperial court has relaxed its morale after more than half a year. At this moment, he sent all his strength to defeat Li Yang in one fell swoop and capture the emperor alive. This is the only opportunity for our army to turn defeat into victory. I am unwilling to miss it. I pass on our military orders to prepare for the three armies and choose the day to go on a war!"

"Lord!" Tian Feng's expression changed drastically, and he stepped forward and said, "It is very unwise to send troops at this time. I hope the lord will think twice. Besides, if the troops are sent at this time, who can control Lu Bu in the rear? If we cannot defeat Liyang in one fell swoop, our Jizhou may be difficult to protect!"

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng with some disgust, but he also knew that what Tian Feng said was right. Lu Bu was indeed a big trouble. If he didn't deal with it, when he sent troops, Lu Bu rushed into Jizhou from the rear, then Jizhou would be in chaos.

"What's the difficulty?" Tian Feng smiled and said, "Just as the Duke and the Duke said before, send a general to Hejian and ask Lu Bu to throw himself into a rat and avoid weapons. When the lord defeats the court, why worry about Lu Bu not retreating?"
