Xiahou Yuan stood proudly on the war horse, and used a spear in his hand to carry Wen Chou's body, and shouted: "Wen Chou is dead, don't you surrender now? When will you wait?"

In just half a month, Xiahou Yuan was in full swing and killed the generals of Yuan camp one after another. The power of his body was gradually condensed and became muddy but not dispersed, which made people look at him.

The battle with Yan Liang and Wen Chou also made Xiahou Yuan's martial arts make great progress, and he will vaguely become the first general in Cao's camp.

Wen Chou was killed and his army surrendered. Xiahou Yuan took advantage of the victory and chased after him. With only a thousand cavalry under his command, he dispersed more than 16,000 Yuan troops who followed him.

During this period, Yuan Shao was able to say that he had lost his troops and generals. First, Yan Liang was killed by Xiahou Yuan outside Baima City by a sword, and then Wen Chou was stabbed to death by Xiahou Yuan in the south of Yanjin, following Yan Liang's footsteps. In addition, he lost 30,000 troops and horses, which made Xiahou Yuan's supreme reputation.

On this day, Yuan Shao, who had just led his army to the White Horse, heard the news that Wen Chou had died in Fanpo.

"Ah...Cao Mengde, from now on, I, Yuan Benchu, and you will be incompatible!" Yuan Shao's roar full of anger suddenly came from the Yuan Jun commander's tent.

Yuan Shao cursed in anger, and no one dared to look at him. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were very important in Yuan Shao's heart, but now they were both in the Central Plains. Whether it was against Yuan's soldiers or only Yuan Shao himself, such a blow was too heavy.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed Yuan Shao for a long time. These two men were not only a general in the Yuan army, but also the spiritual pillars of the Yuan army soldiers. In the past, they were invincible and invincible generals. Now they are dead in the battlefield like this. Yuan Jun's southern expedition has just stepped out, and then they staggered, turned around and ate the mud.

The ancients believed in fate. The higher the status, the more people believed in fate. Not to mention the ancients, even in modern times, many people believed that China had existed for five thousand years.

At this moment, more than 100,000 soldiers of Yuan's army had just crossed the Yellow River and came to the White Horse. Yan Liang, a famous general in Hebei, and Wen Chou, both died in battle. This... forced the overlord of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, to think of other things.

The hall was silent, and no one dared to speak first. Even Xu You knew very well that Yuan Shao was in a dilemma at this time and had suffered the hesitant and hesitant old disease.

"Hu..." After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shao said bitterly: "My two generals have just crossed the Yellow River and died in battle. Moreover... they are all in the situation where the number of troops is greater than that of Cao's army. Everyone, it seems that Yuan Shao, this year, is a bit taboo compared to the Central Plains. It is better to withdraw the troops and return to Hebei, and then make a decision again in the coming year!"

Shen Pei, Pang Ji and the other two looked at each other, then turned their heads to Xu You, and the other generals turned to look at Xu You. They all knew that Xu You was the most intelligent adviser under Yuan Shao. With him, he should listen to his words more. Xu You had urged Yuan Shao before, but Yuan Shao refused. Now, all the things Xu You said were fulfilled one by one. It can be seen that now is the time for Yuan army to make a decision, and he should listen to Xu You's words.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xu You suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure, not for anything else, but for Yuan Shao no longer trusted him. If it were the case, Xu You would have spoken out long ago and advised Yuan Shao. Now, Xu You was still a little scared and dared not to touch Yuan Shao's tentacles at will. At this moment, Xu You didn't dare to speak first, just looking at his nose and his heart, standing there, waiting for Yuan Shao's inquiry.

Yuan Shao also knew that he was asking Xu You for advice at this moment, but in the previous few times, it was his own reckless behavior that ruined the current good situation of Yuan Jun. However, Yuan Shao had many counselors under Yuan Shao. As a child of a noble family who was worthy of face, and with a relatively powerful prince in the world, Yuan Shao also had his own dignity. He would not ask each other for a mere Xu You and admit his mistake in a low voice.

At that moment, Yuan Shao turned to look at Guo Tu and asked, "Punze, what do you think?"

After Xun Chen left, as the second-in-commander of Yuan Shao's counselors, he was the most qualified person to speak out without expressing his opinions, but... Guo Tu doesn't want to follow Xu You's footsteps. In fact, some of Yuan Shao's actions made him dare not make plans blindly and make plans without authorization.

Guo Tu hesitated for a while and asked, "I dare to ask my lord, now I sent 150,000 troops in Jizhou, and I have lost countless food and grass during this period. Moreover, I have successfully crossed the Yellow River. I don't know why you, lord, say what you want to withdraw at this time? Please inform me."

Yuan Shao sighed, "First, my general loved his son, and Yuan Shang was harmed by Cao Cao; now, the two generals under his command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, have died in the battlefield, and it is not good to go to the army! Maybe it's because this general is a taboo this year. It's better to withdraw the troops temporarily and wait until he returns to Jizhou to find a master of enlightenment. After making up for the general, he will make up for his hexagrams, and then make up for it. How about it?"

A little cold sweat broke out on Guo Tu's forehead, and Yuan Shao actually brought the topic to this sensitive place. How did he respond? However, as a subordinate, Guo Tu still replied objectively: "Lord, as the saying goes, the army will return without success, which will damage the morale of the army. If you, lord, withdraw your troops and return to Jizhou like this, it will not only lose countless money and food, but also destroy the majesty of my Jizhou!"

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes in anger, turned his head to look at Shen Pei, and asked, "Zhengnan, what do you think?"

Shen Pei said: "Lord, the general will inevitably die in front of the battlefield. Now that I have sent troops in Jizhou to fight south, I have just crossed the Yellow River, so I just said to withdraw my troops. Although it is not good to go out, the essence is still there. If the troops are withdrawn in such a hurry, it may make people laugh at the world! I suggest that the lord should send troops to Xuxian quickly to wipe out Cao Cao. In this way, it can avenge the third prince, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and secondly, it can also show our military power to the world. Thirdly, it can bring the Central Plains to the rule of the lord, but..."

Speaking of this, Shen Pei subconsciously paused. Sure enough, Yuan Shao's eyes were already lit up and he asked, "But what?"

Shen Pei glanced at Jiang Ji without any trace and replied: "But my army is numerous and consumes countless food every day. When someone sits in Yecheng, dispatches food and grass to supply military supplies!"

Yuan Shao nodded and replied, "Well, what Zhengnan said is right. Since this matter was brought up by Zhengnan, you will order you to return to Yecheng immediately, take charge of Jizhou, dispatch food and grass, and transport it to the front line!"

Shen Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed to take the order and said, "I'm here to take the order!"

After several persuasions, Yuan Shao temporarily let go of his throbbing mood and decided to continue the southern expedition and fight to the death with Cao Cao. However, just as he was about to give an order, he saw the anxious look on Xu You's face. Xu You's appearance made Yuan Shao's heart jump for no reason and asked subconsciously: "Ziyuan, what do you think?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao finally asked himself, Xu You hurriedly stepped out and replied: "Lord, our army is not good at launching the army. Now the morale of the army is ups and downs and morale is unstable. If we send troops south at this time, it will be difficult to achieve results. According to the opinions of the subordinates, it is better to build camps on the Baima and Yanjin line, rest the organization, and motivate the soldiers to wait for the actions of the Yang family army. If it restrains Cao Cao, then our army can gradually advance and gradually embezzle several counties in Yanzhou!"

"kindness?"

Yuan Shao had just made up his mind to set up his army to go south and fight Cao Cao. Now, he heard Xu You's remarks and thought in his heart that Xu You was deliberately sing a rebellion with him. After all, Xu You had always been arrogant and arrogant. In Yuan Shao's view, Xu You's performance at this moment was that Xu You felt that he could not live without him, so he didn't want to come up with a plan and was just waiting for him to surrender.

However, in Xu You's opinion, the Yuan army's army was not good and its morale was frustrated. When rectifying the troops and calming the morale of the army, this was the best choice. This was also a helpless move, but it was also the safest way. It was just because the Yang family army was slow to move in the city of Luoyang, which made Xu You smell a slight danger. However, the army was out of the battle, and Yang Fan was an ally of Yuan Shao at this moment, so Xu You couldn't say much, so he suggested that Yuan Shao let him stop moving and look at the movements of the Yang family army first.

However, Xu You's kind words made Yuan Shao misunderstand.

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Hmph, Cao Cao has only tens of thousands of troops, and I still have 120,000 troops in my hands. How could I be afraid of him? Others suggested that I send troops south, but... but you, Xu You, let me stop moving? What is your intention? "

Xu You was stunned when he heard this, looked up at Yuan Shao with confusion. What we saw was Yuan Shao's angry eyes. After Xu You sighed slightly in his heart, he still spoke out and advised again: "Lord! Although Cao Mengde's troops are only tens of thousands, they are also carefully selected elite soldiers! Lord, have you forgotten that when Cao Cao captured Xu and Yuzhou, his troops had hundreds of thousands of troops? Besides, Cao's army had just won two games and the troops were in full swing. Our army should avoid the attack for the time being. Please don't forget that our army has Yang Fan, an ally! Our army only needs to wait for the Yang family army to go south and restrain Cao Cao's main force, and then we can take Yanzhou!"

Zheng Ji sneered: "Just, now the Cao army's troops in the several counties in Yanzhou may not be more than 10,000, but the lord's troops are more than 100,000. I mainly take Yanzhou, and I still need to see Yang Fan's eyes? Could it be... You Xu Ziyuan, are you already looking at Yang Fan?"

Xu You was shocked when he heard this and defended him anxiously: "Bing Yuantu, don't swear at others. I, Xu You, when will I be heartbroken to Yang Fan?"

Yuan Shao's eyes were gloomy and he shouted irritably: "Enough! Stop me and let the army rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, we will send troops westward. Gao Lan and Zhu Ling each led 10,000 troops as the vanguards and set off tonight. We must take down the three cities of Sourzao, Pingqiu and Fengqiu before our army arrives! The rest of the generals will attack Chenliu County with our generals. We will capture the entire Chenliu area within ten days!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

The generals hurriedly stepped out of the line to receive the order.

However, Xu You's expression changed drastically and he quickly spoke out and advised: "My lord, you must not!..."
