Seeing Feng Ji who kept kowtowing on the ground, Shen Pei, who had a good relationship, hurriedly stepped out and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, don't be fooled by the Han family. He was trying to cut off his lord's right-hand man in this way."

Although Feng Ji saw that this was Han Zhan’s plan and wanted Yuan Shao to choose between Jizhou City and Feng Ji, because of the conflicts between him and Feng Ji, he did not persuade Yuan Shao, and even thought to himself: “If the lord really kill Feng Ji, then no one will slander him and Tian Feng in the future.”

Han Zhan's tricks were also seen through Xin Ping. However, he and Guo Tu and Xin Pi, who are in Ren County, support the eldest son Yuan Tan, and Feng Ji, who support the youngest son Yuan Shang, are both for their own masters, so naturally they will not say good things for him.

Xun Chen was only loyal to Yuan Shao and had no relatives to Yuan Shao's three sons. Besides, Feng Ji had a good personal relationship with him, so he couldn't watch his friend's head fall, so he stood up and helped Shen Pei say good things to Feng Ji: "Lord, don't see my nephew saying that as long as he sent Yuantu's head, he would return to Jizhou immediately. But if you really do this, he can also go back to his word, so Feng Yuantu must not be killed."

Feng Ji, who was kowtowing when he heard Xun Chen begging for him, couldn't help but stop and gave him a grateful glance. But at the same time, he felt resentful to Ju Su and Xin Ping, who were silent, and said inwardly: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. I, Feng Yuantu, will sooner or later make you both pay the price for this matter."

Yuan Shao was originally a person with no opinion, and his ears were soft. After hearing this, he sighed and said, "Yuantu, get up. You are my right-hand man, how could I kill you casually?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao had let Feng Ji go so lightly, Yuan Xi was unwilling to use the knife to kill people and failed. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yuan Shao, "Father, if we don't kill Feng Ji, then our retreat will be cut off by the Han children. Once the food and grass are exhausted, we have to give up the Jieqiao. If Gongsun Zan's army takes the opportunity to chase after him, our army may be in a big way."

Feng Ji was a cunning man. Seeing that Yuan Xi insisted on killing him, he understood what was going on after thinking for a moment. He knew that if he wanted to save his life, he could only give Yuan Shao a plan immediately to resolve the current crisis. He hurried forward to Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, the current situation is not as bad as we imagined. With our strength, even if we lose Jizhou, we still have the strength to defeat the Han family's children and Gongsun Zan."

Hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao couldn't help but lit up and hurriedly urged: "Yuantu, will the plan come out?"

Feng Ji turned his head and looked at Yuan Xi and continued, "Since the Han family has voluntarily released the second son, he probably did not have the intention to send troops to attack us immediately. In this way, we can stay here and continue to confront Gongsun Zan's army."

Yuan Shao felt a little relaxed when he learned from Feng Ji that Han Zhan would not attack us, but he quickly asked nervously: "Yuantu, even if the Han family children do not attack us on their own initiative, we will stay here to continue confronting Gongsun Zan's army, but in a short time, the army's food and grass will be exhausted. What should we do then?"

"Lord!" Ju Su felt that it was time to appear on the stage at this moment, so he quickly stood out from the queue and said, "We can draw troops, food and grass from other counties. After we defeat Gongsun Zan, we will turn around and deal with the Han children, so that we can have the strength to retake Jizhou."

"Mr.," Yuan Shao heard Ju Su say this, as if he grabbed a life-saving straw and asked quickly: "I don't know where we should draw troops and horses and food?"

"Master, have you forgotten that we still have 50,000 troops in Yecheng, and we can only use food and grass for ten years?" Ju Su said to Yuan Shao: "As long as we send people to transfer the troops and grass from Yecheng here, we can defeat Gongsun Zan in the shortest time."

"Report to the lord, the lord is very true to what he said." Feng Ji, who has always sang against Ju Su, saw that the other party's thoughts coincide with him, quickly echoed: "We can draw the troops, horses, food and grass from Yecheng to come here to fight Gongsun Zan. As long as Gongsun Zan is defeated, we can return to the army and retake Jizhou, and then the end of the Han family's children will come."

Before sending troops to Jieqiao, Yuan Shao also considered mobilizing the troops, horses, food and grass in Yecheng, but thinking that the officials in these places had not completely surrendered to him, and they were rashly transferred, there might be a possibility of turning against each other in the battle. Therefore, even though Gongsun Zan had many soldiers, he still did not mobilize the soldiers and soldiers here. At this moment, it was a critical survival and he didn't care about it. After his eyes swept across everyone in the tent, he finally stopped on Xun Chen. He smiled and said to Xun Chen: "Youruo, I wonder if you can go to Yecheng in person, draw 30,000 troops and a season of grain back to Jieqiao?"

In response to the order issued by Yuan Shao, Xun Chen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I will receive the order!"

"Youruo," Yuan Shao felt much more at ease when he saw Xun Chen agreeing to go to Yecheng to mobilize troops. No matter what, Xun Chen is an old man from Jizhou, and he is a relative of Han Fu. The officials in Yecheng would definitely obey his orders. Before Xun Chen left, he asked specifically: "I wonder how many days it will take for you to return to the Jieqiao?"

Xun Chen thought for a while, and then replied, "Your Majesty, if your subordinates travel day and night, they will definitely be able to bring back the army of Yecheng within ten days."

"Yuantu," After hearing Xun Chen's statement, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Feng Ji: "Hold out the battle-free sign. Within ten days, our army will not fight with Gongsun Zan's army. When Youruo's army arrives, we will give Gongsun Zan a surprise and beat them to pieces."

"I will receive the order!" Feng Ji agreed, turned around and arranged for people to hang a battle-free sign at the gate of the village.

After Feng Ji left, Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang again: "Yan Liang, arrange a smart army Sima to take a team of troops to escort your friend to Yecheng, be sure to ensure his safety."

"I will understand!" Yan Liang agreed, walked to Xun Chen, made a call, and then said, "Mr. Youruo, please come with Yan!"

Seeing that Feng Ji Anran was safe, Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, knowing that the old boy was lucky and escaped. After saluting Yuan Shao, he said, "Father, my elder brother still has 10,000 troops in Ren County. Why not let him lead his troops here immediately, how about it?"
