"Shi Ming, there is no need to worry too much. My lord has already made up his mind. Don't worry. Even if the wind and rain come from all directions, I, Youzhou, will remain unmoved. After I led my troops to Junmi City, the defense of the southern front will depend on you." Well, remember not to act blindly. If Chengjun sends his troops to attack, don't pay attention to it. Just hold Fangcheng firmly. As for the Yuyang Salt Farm, if there is a warning, Jun Yi will deal with it. It will be clear when the time comes. Since there is no need to separate troops to rescue him, the Military Intelligence Bureau will definitely send back the news later, so just act accordingly."
Compared with Shen Fei's worry, Pang Tong was calm and calm, and warned Shen Fei in a calm tone, not caring at all about the coming storm.
"I will obey my orders."
Hearing that all he had to do was defend Fangcheng, Shen Fei felt a little relieved. Without him, Yuan Tan transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Chengjun's troops, leaving only more than 30,000 of his old troops. As for me, including the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses newly transferred from Bingzhou, it is only Xiwan. Even if we can temporarily recruit troops from other places, it will never be much more. The full number will only be 60,000. On the other hand, the Youzhou Army, after cleverly annexing the Black Mountain Army and Gongsun Xu's 170,000 troops, reorganized them in more than a month and eliminated the old and weak, and now have more than 60,000 elite troops, including those originally stationed in Fangcheng. The 20,000 elites there are are 80,000 in number. Even if Pang Tong takes away 60,000 of the main force, there are still more than 20,000 elites available in Youzhou. It is not enough to attack, but it is not enough to defend. In Shen Fei's opinion, it is completely enough. Used...
"Lord, good news, good news. Gongsun Du and Tadun have joined forces with 150,000 troops. They are approaching the city of Jun. The offensive is in full swing. The crisis in Youzhou has appeared!"
Since the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao's body has collapsed, and his energy and energy are not as good as before. Although he still insists on taking care of things every day, the time to get up to manage politics is getting later and later. No, what a day. It was almost time, and Yuan Shaofang dragged his tired body to the meeting hall. As soon as he walked out of the back hall, he saw Guo Tuji coming forward with excitement on his face and shouting excitedly. voice.
"oh?"
Hearing what Guo Tu said, Yuan Shao's eyes immediately lit up. He immediately thought that Gongsun Ming, who had been lingering in Linzi for a long time, might have to rush back to Youzhou in despair. In this case, Qingzhou would surely But it is now under the control of the Yuan family. From this point of view, this news is indeed good news.
"My lord, this is a God-given opportunity. If you can arrange it properly, Youzhou will be able to get it at your fingertips."
Guo Tu has never had a good impression of Gongsun Ming, not only because he suffered several big losses under Gongsun Ming, but also because Gongsun Ming blatantly intervened in the Yuan family's fight for the heir, so that Yuan Tan and his family are now in a state of disarray. With an absolute disadvantage, he would not miss any opportunity to attack Gongsun Ming.
"Huh? How do you say this?"
Youzhou has always been a worry for Yuan Shao. Although he seems to be in the honeymoon period with Gongsun Ming now and is about to become his son-in-law, if there is a chance to completely annex Youzhou, Yuan Shao will not show any mercy. Just thinking about Gongsun Ming's treacherous military tactics made Yuan Shao feel hot in his heart, but he definitely did not dare to take it lightly.
"My lord, you must be aware that the allied forces of Gongsun Du and Tadun are now on the offensive. The remaining troops in Youzhou must be transferred to the Great Wall. In this way, youzhou will inevitably be extremely empty. It's easy to get it. Someone has a plan to get the full success: Lord But he urgently agreed to Gongsun Ming's proposal to welcome his bride, and in the name of escort, the eldest son and the third son all mobilized the troops from Qingzhou to immediately move from both wings to Pushan City, forcing Gongsun Ming not to return to Youzhou easily. If he If you really dare to retreat in a hurry, our two armies can attack in tandem and be defeated. In this way, it will not be difficult to hold back the main force of Gongsun Ming's army. Then the lord will attack Chengjun again in the name of assisting defense. After entering, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan will be mobilized to lead the Bingzhou army out of Jingxingguan as backup, and capture Jixian in one fell swoop. In this way, both Gong, Sun and Ming armies will lose their foundation, which will inevitably lead to turmoil in the morale of the army. The lord will look for an opportunity to show kindness to him again, and he will be able to do so. With the help of his army, Hebei will be able to achieve great success."
Just by looking at Yuan Shao's shining eyes, Guo Tu knew that Yuan Shao had made a move, and he did not dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately told the plan in detail.
"Hmm... If this is the case, how should the coalition forces of Gongsun Du and Tadun deal with each other?"
Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a while, and felt that if the plan was thorough, it was indeed possible to annex Gongsun Ming's troops in one fell swoop. However, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he thought of the large-scale coalition forces of Gongsun Du and Tadun.
"My lord, there is no need to worry. The reason why Tadun is willing to join forces with Gongsun Du is simply because he deeply hates Gongsun Ming, and not because he really has the same heart as Gongsun Du. After our army captures Jixian, my lord will probably allow him to make huge profits and lead him to do so." It is difficult for me to do this. If this happens, Gongsun Du, who feels lonely, will not dare to stay in a dangerous place for a long time, and he will undoubtedly retreat."
Guo Tu dared to come to Yuan Shao to offer advice, so naturally he had already considered it all. Now when he spoke about it, his confidence was palpable, and he really seemed to have a strategizing attitude.
"Well... the matter is too big for me to resolve. Please go and invite someone..."
Although Yuan Shao was moved by Guo Tu's words, he couldn't help but feel a little disrespectful in his heart. No matter what, after the defeat of Guandu, the Yuan family's vitality had been seriously damaged. Now, although it is said that there are still three soldiers There are more than 100,000, but there are not many real elite soldiers among them. Without a few years of recuperation, it is difficult to restore the old outlook. It is really unbearable. In view of this, even if I am ready to move in my heart, I can However, Yuan Shao still did not dare to make such a decision, and planned to discuss it with his staff.
"My lord, wait a minute."
Hearing that Yuan Shao obviously wanted to summon all the staff to discuss together, Guo Tuke lost his composure and hurriedly interrupted.
"Um?"
Being interrupted by Guo Tu, although Yuan Shao was not angry, his face obviously drooped, and he snorted with a hint of complacency and displeasure.
"My lord, it is clear to me that this military aircraft is an important matter, and only the lord can make the decision. If there is any leakage, the matter will be ruined. Please think twice, lord."
The reason why Guo Tu interrupted Yuan Shao was not because he was greedy for power, but because he was worried that Shen Pei and others might leak the secret because of Yuan Shang. Of course, in order to win Yuan Shao's trust, Guo Tu did not take the initiative. The contact point breaks this matter.
"Um……"
Hearing that Guo Tu's words made sense, Yuan Shao gave up the idea of summoning all his staff to discuss it, but saw him pacing back and forth in the study room with a frown on his face, his face changing from red to white, which was enough to show his inner thoughts. How turbulent the waves are...
