Xu You pinched his beard, smiled and straightened his body, bowed his hand to Man Chong and said, "Man Boning has made a big statement. Since he has obtained the power, how can he let it go? I think Cao Gong will integrate the four states in the future and plan for the cause of kings and dominance."

Man Chong was also a powerful character, and he said with a look of expression: "Xu Ziyuan. How can you say such words without a king or a father? My lord, the prime minister of Han, was born after Cao Shen, and was favored by Han. His loyalty is visible to the sky. Now Zhang Xiu steals Luoyang and is trapped by the emperor. You are the counselor of the general, and you do not advise the general to work with my lord to support the emperor, and you still slander them. You are simply a villain."

Man Chong shouted loudly, and the wind and thunder were gushing, with unparalleled momentum. Xu You was speechless for a moment, and just glared at him and said, "You..."

The advisers present were eager to try, but when they saw Xu You being beaten up, they felt as if they were beaten up and hesitated for a moment.

Yuan Shao took a deep look at Man Chong. Few people from poor families can catch his eye, but Man Chong is indeed excellent. It’s a pity that the pearl is secretly cast, it’s a pity, it’s a pity.

"This matter is very important. There are Xianbei outside my country, Wuhuan people are eyeing each other, and there is also a clown in the Heishan Zhang Yan jumping Liang. I need to think about it and think about it."

Yuan Shao did not agree at once and gave a drag-on method.

Man Chong knew that Yuan Shao was more resourceful and less decisive, which was a turtle speed, and there was no way to do so. But he also tried his best and bowed and said, "I understand the difficulties of the general. I will go to the inn to rest first and wait for the good news of the general. It is just the last sentence. Zhang Xiu is in Nanzhong, so he must not miss the opportunity and never come again."

After saying that, Man Chong bowed deeply to Yuan Shao and then said: Come on, take me to the inn for a rest.

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and then he turned to look at an official. The official understood and immediately got up and took Man Chong to the inn to rest.

"What do you think?" After Man Chong walked away, Yuan Shao withdrew his eyes, looked around at the advisers, and asked in a deep voice.

Although he had been sitting upright for a long time, Yuan Shao's posture was still straight and upright. Combined with his peerless face, he was really noble and graceful.

All the advisers were all excited and admired Yuan Shao's beauty. Such appearance was the material for being the emperor.

The first one to open his mouth was Xu You.

He looked solemn and bowed and said, "Lord. Man Chong is right. Zhang Xiu is in Nanzhong, so he must not miss the opportunity and never come again. But Cao Cao has the [king of kings and domineering heart], so he must be guarded against it. The current situation is when Xiang Yu and Emperor Gaozu entered the pass. He entered the pass first as the king. He first captured Sili, and took over the emperor and had Sili's wealth and strength, so he could balance the world."

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You in surprise, and then nodded with satisfaction. Although Xu You had many wrongs, his attitude was still pertinent and he did not object to the point of opposition.

"Ziyuan is right. You must not miss the opportunity, you will never come back." Yuan Shao nodded and affirmed Xu You's words. He had never admitted that Zhang Xiu was powerful. But deep down, he was a little afraid of Zhang Xiu.

In the past, when they had the advantage of their troops in Luoyang, they fought with Zhang Xiu, but they were defeated. He and Cao Cao abandoned their troops and barely escaped.

Let’s not talk about Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

Ma Teng and Han Sui have been in Liangzhou for decades, with strong troops and strong horses. In the past, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and others were ordered by the court to attack Ma Teng repeatedly, but Han Sui could not conquer. Zhang Xiu fought for several years, and won victory in one fell swoop, killing Han Sui and surrendering Ma Teng. When Yuan Shao thought of this, he felt cold in his skin.

Although Zhang Xiu is a man with a bad background, he is indeed a man like Emperor Gao. He is a mere pavilion leader and has a worldly power. He is a great hero.

First kill Zhang Xiu, and then compete with Cao Cao for the world.

As for Sun Jian, he is just a clown.

"Just." Yuan Shao pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked for advice: "The Xianbei, Wuhuan and Goguryeo, north of Liaodong, are all eyeing each other, let alone Zhang Yan, it's really troublesome."

Unlike in history, although Yuan Shao's territory was less than Qingzhou, his strength was stronger.

Although Yuan Shao won Qingzhou in history and ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to occupy Qingzhou, he actually had part of the territory occupied by Zang Ba and other Taishan generals. Gongsun Du crossed the sea to attack Qingzhou, occupied some land, and established the governor of Yingzhou.

The land in Qingzhou did not give Yuan Shao the benefits of history, but instead left him with his hands. His basic foundation has always been Hebei.

The land of Hebei still existed in history until Cao Cao attacked the Yuan brothers, giving Yuan a continuous blood loss.

The Black Mountain bandits had no food to eat, so of course they were robbed.

Although Yuan Shao has lost Qingzhou, he has obtained the land of Liaodong and the foreign enemy of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong. Although his power has been compressed to the north of the Yellow River, he has managed his full strength and his strength is stronger than in history. It can be said that he is strong in his troops.

But even so, the forces such as Zhang Yan, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo are still a headache for Yuan Shao. He has overwhelming strength in his strength, but these forces either in the deep mountains and forests or in the wilderness of the border. If they want to deal with them, they will have to pay a lot of price, and it will not wait for me.

In fact, Zhang Xiu also had the situation facing Yuan Shao. However, Zhang Xiu was determined and courageous, and swept through the Qiang people in Liangzhou, the southern central and southern barbarians, and the Xiongnu people. No matter how far they were, they would be eliminated to eliminate future troubles.

Zhang Xiu, who integrated Sili, Liangzhou, Qinzhou, Shuofang, Yizhou and Yunzhou, had neither a change of elbows nor foreign enemies. He could attack and defend with his advancement, and had many soldiers and generals. He was rich in the country and the people, and had a clear political ambition. He was invincible.

Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a premonition that this was really something that he should not miss the opportunity, otherwise he would be injured and killed by the tiger (Zhang Xiu).

When the counselor Guo Tu heard what Yuan Shao said, he gave a suggestion: "Lord. Zhang Yan is not worth worrying about. The Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo are all barbarians. The lord can send envoys to give gold, silver, wealth, and beauty, and can temporarily stabilize it. After the lord attacks Sili, it will not be too late to deal with them."

"The Lord's words are reasonable." Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Compared to Wuhuan and Xianbei, Goguryeo and Zhang Yan were less powerful.

Zhang Yan did not have the ability to fight him in a decisive battle, but he was just a thief. But if the Wuhuan people living in Youzhou or the Xianbei people further north went south, there would be more than 100,000 in a flash, and they could invade Youzhou and even the counties of Jizhou in a flash.

Send envoys to bribe the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and just keep them stable for the time being and don’t go south. He can free up his hands to cooperate with Cao Cao and attack Sili.

Just as Xu You said, if you first join Sili as king, you can check and balance the world.

Perhaps because Zhang Xiu sucked away the two thorns of Tian Feng and Ju Su, the great counselors under Yuan Shao were extremely united and agreed with Xu You and Guo Tu's plan.

Yuan Shao had no doubts anymore, but still said: "Immediately send someone to Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Goguryeo to act according to the plan. I just hide it from Man Chong first, wait three or five days before notifying Man Chong."

Although he agreed to cooperate, he had to delay for a few days. It showed that he had the initiative.

The advisers all knew Yuan Shao's character and guessed Yuan Shao's thoughts, but they did not advise him. The war required preparations, and Zhang Xiu could not return in Nanzhong at once. If he delayed for three or five days, there would be no major events.

"promise."

The advisers did not anger Yuan Shao in such matters, and agreed.

...........

The preparation for war is not a matter of one or two days. And the first person to get the news was of course the generals who led the troops.

Now Yuan Shao is strong and his army is hundreds of thousands. However, he has to defend Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou to prevent Zhang Yan from Heishan, as well as grassland tribes such as Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, and his troops are relatively scattered.

The only generals who are still in Nanpi are Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, and the four generals are each 20,000 elite soldiers.

Just like Zhang Xiu set up two armies in the north and south outside Luoyang City. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and Gao Lan of these four troops did not have to fight south and fight north and accumulate strength, but the armor, weapons and war horses he gave were all excellent.

The four generals trained their troops and horses, especially Zhang He was both wise and brave. The combat effectiveness of these 80,000 elite soldiers was already extremely high.

The big camp outside the city is divided into four small camps.

In the north are Yan Liang, Wen Chou, in the south are Gao Lan and Zhang He. Although Zhang He has much more outstanding abilities, Yuan Shao likes Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and they have a higher status than Zhang He.

The cold wind was like a knife, slamming.

In the military camp, the soldiers who were responsible for standing guard and patrolling had their faces flushed and their hands and feet were cold. However, Yuan Shao's army was full of supplies and could not kill anyone.

Everyone has a certain amount of wine supply every day. In this winter, drinking a sip of wine to warm your body is like a god.

"Dadada." Zhang He and Gao Lan and the other generals were wearing thick clothes and cloaks, and rode their horses outside Yan Liang's tent.

Yan Liang's personal soldiers were very familiar with Zhang He and Gao Lan, so they let them in without stopping them.

Zhang He took a quick look and said, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were already there. In the big tent, there were soldiers roasting a whole sheep. The golden oil fell down, and the fragrance filled the entire tent.

In front of the mutton, a large pot was cooking mutton soup.

"In this winter, there is nothing more beautiful than a sip of wine or a sip of mutton. The two generals quickly sit down and take a sip of mutton soup to warm up the body. The roasted lamb will be done soon." Yan Liang, as the master, smiled and invited Zhang He and Gao Lan to sit down.

The two generals bowed to Yan Liang and sat in the guest seat together. The personal soldiers spooned two bowls of mutton soup, walked up with two jars of wine and put them down.

Zhang He was very clever. Although they were in a military camp, they usually took care of their own affairs.

Each general has one army.

There are still very few such parties.

Zhang He first picked up a piece of sheep bone with chopsticks and started gnawing. The mutton of this era was just some seasonings such as ginger, and the taste was just average. However, Zhang He was used to eating it since he was a child, but he also found it delicious.

After spitting out the bones, Zhang He took a sip of the soup, then bowed to Yan Liang and said, "General Yan. But what order does the lord have? Are we going to go to war?"

"General Zhang is indeed agile." Although Yan Liang had a high status, he respected Zhang He very much. He praised him first, and then said: "Cao Cao sent Man Chong over and invited his lord to send troops to deal with Zhang Xiu. The lord did not agree immediately, but he had decided to send troops and ordered us to rest and recuperate the troops."

Zhang He's eyes were full of bright light. Gao Lan blurted out and said, "Are you finally here? The war that decides the belonging of the world."

Unlike Cao Cao, Cao Cao had many loyal and righteous people under his command, Xun Yu and others who opposed Zhang Xiu and hoped to support the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao, regardless of civil officials or military generals, thought that Yuan Shao had outstanding talents and good looks. He should have succeeded Empress Liu. Yuan Shao won the throne, established a ancestral temple and country, and had the world.

Zhang He had no intention of gnawing bones and asked in a deep voice: "Where should we attack Sili from?"

"There is no decision yet. This requires people to communicate, discuss and cooperate. In addition to Cao Cao, Sun Jian should also raise an army." Yan Liang shook his head and then laughed: "But this is all the matter between the lord and the advisers. As military generals, we can fight wherever the lord let us fight."

Speaking of this, Yan Liang was angry and said, "In the past, many heroes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Xiu relied on his strong troops and horses to humiliate me repeatedly. Now we are also strong soldiers and horses, not blundering Zhang Xiu. This time I must let everyone in the world know. I, Yan Liang, are bravest in the three armies and will never lose to Zhang Xiu."

"That's right. Take back the face I lost in the past at once." Wen Chou picked up a piece of fat meat from the bowl, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. His mouth was full of oil. Finally, he picked up the three-legged bronze wine glass and swallowed it with a rumble. The wine glass was placed heavily on the table, making a sound of touching.

Wen Chou's eyes are wide open and he is very majestic.

Zhang He was a little contemptuous of this, but he didn't say anything. Yuan Shao trusted Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so he couldn't get into evil with the other party.

"Zhang Xiu has already entered the warehouse and released the sword and gun, and you will say that. If Zhang Xiu comes out of the battle, you may not dare to fight against him. Besides, although Zhang Xiu has not been fighting for a long time, his generals Pang De, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao and others are not vegetarians."

Zhang He soon stopped thinking about this problem and instead remembered how to attack Zhang Xiu.

After all, he is not Yan Liang or Wen Chou. Although he is brave enough to be the three armies, he is brave but not wise, and is just a general. He is good at setting up formations and marching, and has ingenuity.

"Cao Cao's troops are strong and strong. If he sends troops, it is best for him to cooperate with Sun Jian from the north and south. However, Hulao Pass is strong and Zhang Liao has the courage to be inappropriate. It is difficult to conquer it in a short time. There are two armies in Luoyang City, which can quickly support Hulao Pass. It is not a wise move to attack Zhang Xiu from the Central Plains."

"It is best to attack Sili from the north and south. The lord will not cooperate with Sun Jian with strong strength. The final result must be that Cao Cao will detour to Hebei, and the two armies will jointly attack Hedong and Henei counties. The two counties of Henei and Hedong will capture Luoyang and Chang'an in front. The time for a real man to make achievements is now."

While drinking, Zhang He dealt with Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, and feasted on the mutton again. He was still thinking about the direction of the war, but he was at ease.
