Tian Feng shook his head, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"An unexpected gain?
Could it be that Lu Bu was captured or killed?"
Hearing Tian Feng say there was an unexpected gain, Yuan Shu became interested.
"My Lord, you often say that Lu Bu is not good, but he has two great generals under his command, one is Gao Shun, the other is Zhang Liao, and the unexpected surprise I am talking about is Zhang Liao."
"Yuan Hao, is what you said true?"
Yuan Shu immediately became excited. Zhang Liao turned out to be Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao actually surrendered to him. This was so exciting.
"It's absolutely true, but Zhang Liao's decision to surrender was in exchange for letting Lu Bu live."
Tian Feng briefly described the original situation.
"If Lu Bu runs away, just run away. It doesn't matter. As long as Zhang Liao can stay, it will be worth it."
Lu Bu's escape didn't matter to Yuan Shu, after all, he had been defeated by him too many times, but being able to snatch Zhang Liao would definitely make a lot of money.
"Well, that makes me feel relieved."
Tian Feng nodded towards Yuan Shu.
"Now that the Yingyang Army and the Polu Army have come down, shouldn't we also make a move?"
Now that the battle in Jizhou has been completed, Liu Bei is the only one left.
"Lord, there are already Huwei Army, Hengye Army, Guards, and Trap Army here, plus Yingyang Army, Polu Army, and Huns Cavalry. It can be said that half of our elites have gathered here.
Using so many elites to deal with just one Liu Bei is a bit fussy. Now that Liangzhou has begun, can we consider taking Sizhou along the way and then use both forces with Liangzhou to capture Yongzhou?"
In fact, when Tian Feng said this, he was already thinking about how to fight the next battle.
“Are we going to attack Sizhou now?
I'm afraid that other princes will overreact."
Hearing Tian Feng's thoughts, Yuan Shu was stunned. To be honest, Sizhou was basically given for free, but if they really captured Sizhou now, what would be the reaction of the other princes?
"Lord, if they don't dare to come now, then they won't dare to do anything if we attack Sizhou. Now the entire north has basically been included by us, and there are no worthy opponents at all.
But there is one thing. Yuzhou cannot be moved. Yuzhou is now a powder keg.
The princes in the south only have two attentions now. One is the current Yanzhou, and the other is Yuzhou that everyone is watching.
When we attack Sizhou, they know that our target will be Chang'an in Yongzhou, but if we invade Yuzhou, it will strain the nerves of the southern princes and make them think that we are going south.
So as long as we don't move, they will get the cake. With their current strength, they don't dare to move us."
Facing Yuan Shu's question, Tian Feng gave his own answer.
"Yuan Hao, why don't the princes in the south support Liu Bei now? They are not human-headed pig-brained people. They shouldn't know the truth of death and coldness.
Liu Bei only has so much strength, and it will definitely be difficult to resist us, and after we capture Yanzhou, the six northern states will be connected together, and our strength will definitely skyrocket, so it will be impossible for them to restrict us, why?"
Tian Feng was also stunned by Yuan Shu's words. Yes, why didn't they send troops to support?
this is a problem.
"I wonder if they're waiting."
Seeing Tian Feng's doubts, Yuan Shu gave his thoughts.
"wait?"
Yuan Shu's words made a flash of light flash in Tian Feng's mind. Yes, why didn't they support them? These people had to wait to see if Liu Bei could hold on. If he simply captured Yanzhou, they would naturally retreat, but if Liu Bei
If you can hold on, they will pounce on you like vicious dogs.
"That's right."
Yuan Shu saw the glint in Tian Feng's eyes and knew that he already knew what he wanted to say.
"But my lord, have you ever thought that if we slow down the attack now and really give those princes a chance to feel that we are nothing more than this, I am afraid that this battle will be over. Instead of doing this, it is better to attack the division directly.
It’s so easy to be a slave.”
Although Tian Feng understood what Yuan Shu meant, he did not agree with this method.
"Yuan Hao, you want to attack Sizhou, but are you really sure that the other princes will not send troops?
If someone sends troops more than expected, it will be troublesome.
You must know that those who can become princes now are not fools. As long as we give them a chance, they will never be stingy and send troops to fight against us.
Moreover, there are not only Li Jue and Guo Si in Yongzhou, but also Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. Maybe you don’t know how terrifying he is, but what I want to say is don’t underestimate him at any time. His resourcefulness is definitely not inferior to our Jizhou.
Four great plans,
So the battle of Sizhou is definitely not that easy as you imagine,
Rather than risking an attack on Sizhou and facing unknown dangers, it is better to let Liu Bei go now.
Let the other princes see the opportunity to send troops, beat them up in Yanzhou, and wait until they have no worries at all, then send troops to attack Sizhou and Yongzhou, then it will be a matter of course."
Compared to Tian Feng's strategy, Yuan Shu chose a relatively conservative tactic. After all, the opponent had Jia Xu, and he might have some poisonous plan as he was known as a poisonous warrior in later generations.
But if I can beat up the enemies who may appear first, I will be powerless when I advance to Sizhou and Yongzhou in the west, no matter how talented Jia Xu is.
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Tian Feng also frowned. You must know that Yuan Shu is very good at employing people. He usually won't criticize their big plans, but now he has put forward opinions that are opposite to his own. What is the situation?
Looking at the frowning Tian Feng, Yuan Shu's brows also wrinkled involuntarily.
"Yuan Hao, don't think too much. I don't mean not to believe you, but now we have basically unified the north, so the situation must be stable. Remember, no matter what, upright conspiracy is the way to dominate.
Placing your hopes on others is not as good as defeating all enemies with absolute superiority."
Yuan Shu came to Tian Feng and patted him on the shoulder.
"I understand, if according to your idea, Zilong and Gongji's troops cannot appear in sight for the time being, and then I also want to transfer some troops from Xuzhou to provide sufficient strength for us."
Since Yuan Shu has said this, Tian Feng has no objection. Indeed, as Yuan Shu said, they are actually the dominant side now. Instead of taking the risk of advancing eastward, it is better to overwhelm them openly and let the enemy's machinations become a passing cloud.
I can only tremble in front of myself.
"Xuzhou cannot be moved. Cao Cao in Yangzhou is not mediocre. I can't give him a chance. If you think we don't have enough troops now, Xindu is now the rear area, so please bring in the 20,000 militiamen stationed there."
Yuan Shu shook his head. He still didn't want to move Xuzhou's troops and horses. After all, Lao Cao was present in Yangzhou. If troops were transferred from Xuzhou, it would probably give Lao Cao a chance, and Xuzhou would be in danger.
