"It's not optimistic!" Guo Jia looked very solemn: "The scale of this battle is so big that even Jia doesn't dare to draw conclusions easily."

"Indeed, Gongsun Zan really took the risk this time!"

Without Liu Yu's restraint, Gongsun Zan was finally able to start a battle with Yuan Shao. With an army of 100,000, this was probably the maximum force Gongsun Zan could produce.

"My lord, I'm afraid Gongsun Zan wants to capture Jizhou in one battle, and then use the victory to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!" Guo Jia used the information obtained during this period and thought for a while before coming to a conclusion.

"But I'm afraid Yuan Shao isn't that easy to deal with! You know, Gongsun Zan's temper is such that there is no sand in his eyes. The Hebei family will not allow Gongsun Zan to occupy Jizhou!" Yuan Shu said.

Although Gongsun Zan's combat power is at a huge advantage among the two heroes of Hebei and Zhongming, in fact, Gongsun Zan's winning rate is pitiful.

Youzhou is now supported by the good foundation left by Liu Yu. Gongsun Zan does not know how to govern at all and has few capable ministers under his command. However, with the help of the aristocratic family, Jizhou begins to flourish, and it will take another two years at most.

, the offensive and defensive sides must change positions.

"Okay, let's call Jia Xu, Tian Feng and others to discuss countermeasures first."

"Jia has sent someone to notify them. They will arrive soon."

In less than one stick of incense time, Jia Xu and others were all present.

"Lord, Gongsun Zan will definitely not win this battle. We must prepare in advance." Jia Xu first set the tone for this matter.

"It would be best if we can make both sides lose, but if that doesn't work, we have to ensure that Yuan Shao won't be able to take Youzhou after his victory." Jushou added.

"There are many loyal ministers and generals who are loyal to Han Fu in Jizhou. If we secretly contact him, we will definitely cause chaos in Yuan Shao's rear." Tian Feng knew the situation in Jizhou very well.

Han Fu governed with virtue, and the people's support in Jizhou was not weak. There were also many loyalists who were loyal to him. A little encouragement could make Yuan Shao anxious.

"Lu Bu and Yuan Shao have a feud in Qingzhou. Can you stir up trouble?" Lu Su asked.

"Impossible, Qingzhou's position is already awkward. Cao Cao has always been eyeing Qingzhou, and Lu Bu has not established a stable foothold in Qingzhou, so it is impossible for him to take such a dangerous move." Xun You said decisively.

"If Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan move, I'm afraid Cao Cao will also take action. Now that all parties are in turmoil, maybe we can take the opportunity to take Yizhou." Jia Xu said.

"Yes, we are too far away from Jizhou and can't reach it. What we can do is limited. The most important thing now is to capture Yizhou. As long as we capture Yizhou, what if Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan? In less than five years,

The general trend of the world must be in my Jiangdong!" Tian Feng said solemnly.

"Liu Bei still needs to be on guard. Liu Ye and Chen Qun are not good at saving money. They might trick us in the end. And if they take advantage of the situation and capture Xuzhou, the situation in the Central Plains will be difficult to handle," Jushu said.

.

He had always been on guard against Liu Bei. Prince Jing of Zhongshan, who was good at forbearance, was the most unstable factor in the world.

"Damn Gongsun Zan, he is too reckless. This caught me off guard." Yuan Shu said bitterly.

"My lord, Gongsun Zan has no choice. If he doesn't fight to the death now, will he still have a chance in the future? It's impossible for him to hold Yuan Shao off for us. And based on his character, it is estimated that as long as he is not seriously injured, he will always fight with Yuan Shao.

Fight head-on."

Guo Jia has a very accurate grasp of Gongsun Zan's temperament, and this guy is a stick.

In the past, with Liu Yu suppressing him, he didn't dare to go too far. Now that Liu Yu is gone and the tightening spell is gone, he will start to change the world. No need to think about it, this guy's head is definitely going crazy when he raises his troops south to Jizhou.

the result of.

How can ordinary lords and counselors have such courage? Only a fool like Gongsun Zan can do it.

Although such a decision seems wise to Guo Jia, who likes to take risks and go to extremes, most people would not do such crazy behavior like a gambler.

"I just hope that Gongsun Zan will not be too arrogant. You must know that cavalry can not only be used on frontal battlefields!" Jia Xu said.

Most of Gongsun Zan's men were elite cavalry, and the most powerful thing about the cavalry was their mobility. Wasn't it because Gongsun Zan was able to capture Bohai County, where Yuan Shao made his fortune, because of his superior soldiers and speed?

If Gongsun Zan could act safely and calmly, sending nearly half of his elite cavalry to harass and attack various places in Jizhou would definitely make Yuan Shao tired of dealing with it.

By then, even if Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan head-on, he would have already lost in the overall situation. As long as Gongsun Zan fights like this a few more times, even Yuan Shao, who has a rich family, may not be able to stand it.

"There are nearly 40,000 rogues among the 100,000 troops under Gongsun Zan. Maybe we can..." Xun You said coldly.

"No! Gongda, there is no need to mention this matter again. In any case, this is a war between us Han people, and collusion with outsiders is never allowed to allow foreigners to take advantage." Yuan Shu interrupted directly before Xun You could finish his words.

"My lord, don't blame me, you were reckless." Xun You knew that he had accidentally violated Yuan Shu's taboo, so he quickly apologized.

"It doesn't matter, Gongda is also advising me, but don't talk about colluding with outsiders in the future. I, Yuan Shu, have not yet reached this level!"

Yuan Shu's attitude toward foreigners was similar to Gongsun Zan's. All barbarians should die. If you want to survive, you must submit to Wang Hua. Otherwise, how are these barbarians who have no culture and order of their own and only know how to plunder different from beasts?

"Fengxiao, how is the contact between the aristocratic families in Yizhou going?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Nearly 30% of the aristocratic families are willing to assist the lord, and most of the remaining aristocratic families will remain neutral. The lord will not encounter much resistance when he attacks Yizhou this time!"

"I hope so!" Yuan Shu murmured: "Liu Yan, like me, understands that powerful families need to be suppressed, but it's a pity that his methods are too crude. A stupid person, occasionally a little clever, but it doesn't help!"

In Yuan Shu's mind, although Liu Yan was not a good guy, there was at least one thing that Yuan Shu admired. This guy was a bit overbearing like Yuan Shu, especially against powerful families, and he was extremely defensive.

He designed Zhang Lu to block traffic and made himself the local emperor of Yizhou. Then he began to use his status and military power to suppress the powerful and consolidate his own power.

It has to be said that this person has good knowledge and ideas, but unfortunately his ability is too poor. After several years of hard work, the wealthy family in Yizhou has not been weakened much, but it has attracted a lot of hatred.

"Liu Yan's stupidity just happened to be our opportunity. This time, while Liu Yan is not too defensive, we must be fully prepared and strive to defeat Yizhou in one battle. Otherwise, it will be difficult to capture Yizhou again.

." Jia Xu said solemnly.

Yuan Shu nodded: "Pass my order to tell the world: Liu Yan is immoral. He is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. He does not want to serve the country. He calls himself emperor and disturbs the world. He is actually a traitor to the country. Everyone in the world will find him and punish him! Order Huang Zhong
