As an old friend for many years, Ju Su knew Tian Feng's character very well, especially when facing a monarch like Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao really could win, Tian Feng would even speak out a little more, and Yuan Shao would not care about it in a good mood. But if Tian Feng was defeated, if Tian Feng didn't know how to advance or retreat, he might have done something irrational in his anger, especially when there were villains like Guo Tu who were good at guessing Yuan Shao's thoughts by his side.

Tian Feng nodded silently. His personality was like this. Some of the reasons were not that he didn't understand, but he just couldn't help it.

Ju Su naturally knew that he looked at Tian Feng with some concern: "It's better to tell your lord that you can avoid this dispute by going to Hejian with me." The reason why Ju Su asked to lead his army into Hejian was not actually for Lu Bu. Unlike others who feared Lu Bu's power, Ju Su was the one among the people who could see clearly. Lu Bu's capture of Yuyang was already at its limit. If he continued to fight, the rear would be in chaos. Even if Lu Bu wanted to fight, Ju Su would not be able to fight like this with Ju Su's understanding of Liu Xie.

To be fair, this emperor is indeed a wise ruler. Looking at each expedition, Liu Xie strives to take over the territory perfectly. If he is not sure about taking over the territory, he would rather keep the territory in the hands of his opponents and try not to destroy people's livelihood.

Just like when he was fighting Yuan Shu, Liu Xie was actually able to take advantage of the situation to completely exterminate Yuan Shu, but in the end it was not. In addition, there was this time.

The truth is just like attacking Yuan Shu. After the Battle of Liyang, Liu Xie's troops were actually enough to sweep Jizhou, but Liu Xie did not have enough ability to digest Jizhou. He excluded the aristocratic families, and the gentry of Jizhou was mixed and solid. If Liu Xie wanted to joke about Jizhou, he had to have enough management talents. Now Liu Xie obviously lacked enough management talents to supplement the entire Jizhou, so Liu Xie chose to give up the plan to annex Jizhou immediately.

The reason why Ju Su didn't argue was that he knew that even if Yuan Shao was defeated this time, Liu Xie would probably let him go, because the time for occupying Jizhou was not yet ripe, and the power of the Jizhou family was still huge. Before occupying Jizhou, what Liu Xie wanted was to preserve the vitality of Jizhou, so a relatively unified Jizhou was necessary.

A defeat may not be a good thing for Yuan Shao. At least it can make him see many things clearly. The only thing Ju Su is worried about is that his friend said something that he shouldn't say. If that is true, when Yuan Shao really loses, it is probably when Yuan Shao has murderous intentions against Tian Feng. Instead of doing so, it would be better to go to Hejian to avoid disasters like himself.

Some words are hard to say in front of Yuan Shao. Today's Jizhou is really a bit vulnerable in front of the court. However, Yuan Shao doesn't like to listen to such words. He is more willing to listen to Guo Tu's optimistic words that sound reasonable, but in fact they are taking the entire Jizhou to gamble. Ju Su is powerless to do anything about this, and it is difficult for a person's personality to change, especially when he is in a position like Yuan Shao, others have to follow him. It is even more difficult to have a great personality and cognition.

Tian Feng shook his head. Although there is a high possibility of defeat in this battle, Jizhou was the last little vitality. If this battle was defeated again, even if Yuan Shao was willing to listen to his plan and defend himself, when the court recovered, Jizhou would not be able to show strength before confronting the court. At this moment, Yuan Shao represented not only the Yuan family, but also the hope of the Jizhou family. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, Tian Feng was unwilling to give up.

Perhaps, as Guo Tu said, if you win, it would be a chance for Yuan Shao to turn the tables.

Although the opportunity is slim, Tian Feng can't do it like Ju Shu, and some things must be done, even if the result is not good.

"My husband and good intentions, Feng Xin has recognized it, but..." Tian Feng looked forward and shook his head and sighed: "Jizhou, you can no longer withstand another defeat."

When Ju Su heard this, he remained silent. He didn't understand or he didn't want to fight. However, when he met such a lord, he had to face not only the imperial court's army, but also the internal struggle under Yuan Shao. After so long, Ju Su could feel that he was not only tired but also tired.

The two of them left speechless, walked side by side for a while, and then said goodbye.

The sky in Yecheng was a little gloomy, but Yuan Shao was in a good mood. After Guo Tu's reassurance, Yuan Shao regained his confidence and decided to take another shot. This time, he would learn from his lessons and take action steadily!

The army was dissatisfied with the movements, and summoned Murong Ping, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to gather the troops again. In just five days, 100,000 troops had been assembled. Before that, Ju Su had already taken his son Ju Hu and Guo Yuan, the general recommended by Guo Tu to Yuan Shao, to Hejian to station troops. Because the main force was to gather, this time, Yuan Shao distributed Ju Su not many troops, only 25,000 people. If he cooperated with the county and state soldiers, he could probably get 30,000.

Ju Su knew in his heart that these 30,000 people might be the last bit of vitality in Yuan Shao’s hands in the near future.

Tian Feng did not leave with Ju Su in the end. In fact, given Yuan Shao's current disgust towards him, as long as Tian Feng spoke, Yuan Shao would never keep him, but Tian Feng still chose to stay and go to war with the army.

The mobilization of troops in Yecheng naturally could not hide Liu Xie's eyes and ears. Almost the day after Yuan Shao decided to send troops, Liu Xie had already received the news.

"Is Yuan Shao crazy?" Looking at the information sent by the secret spies in Yecheng, Liu Xie frowned. Just because a group of new recruits mixed with the defeated generals, he wanted to attack Li Yang. Liu Xie didn't know what Yuan Shao was thinking.

"Why should your Majesty worry about the enemy?" Guo Jia seemed to be leaning on the back of the chair in a daze, his eyes were blurred, but his eyes were filled with a wise light: "Isn't this very good? Pull out his last teeth and you will lose a lot of trouble when your Majesty can deal with Jizhou."

Liu Xie nodded silently. Indeed, since Yuan Shao was seeking death, why was he worried?

"Is there any fraud?" I was not very worried about Yuan Shao and Liu Xie, but Yuan Shao had two good advisers, Tian Feng and Ju Su, and neither of them should be taken lightly.

"This must be Guo Tu's suggestion, ready to take a gamble!" Guo Jia sneered.

Sometimes, whether a good strategist can play a role depends on whether there is a good lord. Guo Jia is actually quite a pity for Tian Feng. Ju Su is obviously talented, but he just meets a lord like Yuan Shao. Not only can he not show what he has learned, but he has to face the struggles from within the Yuan Shao's power at all times. Whenever he thinks of this, Guo Jia is very glad that he left Yuan Shao's command very simply.
