Chapter 156
Jizhou, Yecheng, Yuan Shao's mansion.

"Gongsun Duzhen is a waste, if it hadn't been for his sneak attack on me, Youzhou would be my property!" Yuan Shao was very angry now, and at the same time he used fury to hide his red face.

Why?Because he worked hard for a year without occupying an inch of land in Youzhou, but now Chen Ziming has occupied it for three months.

"Come here, mobilize the army. I want to capture Youzhou while its foothold is not stable." Yuan Shao, who was furious, immediately wanted to lead troops to attack Youzhou, which was occupied by Chen Ziming.

"My lord, this is definitely not the time to send troops." Tian Feng, the first counselor, didn't care if Yuan Shaogao was unhappy, and immediately stood up to stop him.

"My lord, it's already halfway through this year, so it's not appropriate to start military affairs. In April, the cold winter is about to begin. Now it will take months to mobilize troops from all over the country. You can't defeat Youzhou, which is defended by Chen Ziming's elite troops, within three months. It will only increase the loss. Make plans for next year.”

"Besides, the Lord's army invaded Youzhou last year, and the grain and grass were exhausted, and they were no longer able to support the army's attack. My Lord can collect grain and grass after the autumn harvest to prepare for the next year's battle."

Tian Feng's tone was sincere, but he blocked Yuan Shao with an anxious face.

"My lord, what Yuan Hao said is true, now is definitely not the time to send troops." The judge immediately stood up to support Tian Feng.

"You said it lightly. If you don't attack at this time, wait for Chen Ziming to stand firm in Youzhou and mobilize a large army to defend me. How can you go down to Youzhou in the next year? Do you dare to promise me?" In fact, Yuan Shao also understood Tian Feng. You are right, he is indeed unable to send troops to Youzhou now, but it is a bit embarrassing for Tian Feng to point it out so directly.

"My lord, I have a plan to let my lord get all the land of Youzhou." Guo Tu seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stood up before Tian Feng was about to speak.

"What clever plan does Gongze have? Tell me quickly." Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu happily when he heard Guo Tu's suggestion, who understood his heart best.

"It's not difficult to destroy Chen Ziming in Youzhou. My lord can send Shi to Xianbei, Wuheng, and Goguryeo to attack Youzhou together in the next year. After Chen Ziming's soldiers and horses are destroyed, my lord will drive out the soldiers and horses of the three tribes to unify the north." Guo Tu finished speaking. With a clever plan, he glanced at Tian Feng and Shen Pei, whose expressions changed drastically.

"My lord, this plan is wrong. The three tribes from the north enter Youzhou, and the people of Youzhou will suffer a lot. My lord should bear the infamy." The reason for Tian Feng's face change was not as Guo Tu thought, and it was not because Guo Tu offered a clever plan first. Instead, his face changed, but, if he really did what Guo Tu did, Yuan Shao's reputation would be ruined, and the people of Youzhou would really be made miserable by the three clans.

"Huh, last year you offered a proposal to the Lord to contact Xianbei to attack Youzhou together, just for the sake of the Lord, and today I offer advice from the three tribes to attack Youzhou together with the Lord, just to damage the reputation of the Lord? How hard are you, afraid that I will steal your merits?" Guo Tu When he quit, he immediately jumped up and scolded Tian Feng who ruined his contribution.

"My lord, Feng absolutely has no such intentions. He really shares his worries. The people of the three ethnic groups are not educated, so they cannot be allowed to enter Youzhou and hurt the people of the Han Dynasty." If Yuan Shao is not allowed to dismiss this idea immediately, the people of Youzhou will be in danger.

"Huh! Tian Yuanhao, you are alarmist and misleading the lord. You are mere alienating the three tribes. After the lord defeats Chen Ziming, expel him. This will also keep the people of Youzhou safe, and let the lord win the hearts of the people in Youzhou. It is the best strategy." Guo Tu also argued with reason, and challenged Tian Feng.

"Okay, don't say too much, I have my own decision, the rule of law, the matter of contacting the three northern tribes is entrusted to you, and it will be handled quickly." Yuan Shao was still not convinced by Tian Feng in the end. In his heart, ordinary people's life and death have nothing to do with him. Dry.

"Hey!" Tian Feng sighed in disappointment, and suddenly felt that he was much older.

"Hey." Guo Tu, who was approved by Yuan Shao, smiled coldly at Tian Feng.

"My lord, since we have decided to go north, we must guard against Liu Bei's army in Qingzhou."

"We think that we can send people to attack Liu Bei together with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, and Sun Jian in Yangzhou to destroy this powerful enemy."

Seeing that Yuan Shao had already made a plan, knowing that the matter was irreversible, the judge had no choice but to take the bottom line and completely wipe out Liu Bei, the strongest prince today. Only in this way could Yuan Shao have a chance to dominate the world.

"Zhengnan's plan is very clever, and you will handle the matter of contacting the three of them." Yuan Shao laughed excitedly after hearing the trial match's plan.

"My lord, please ask Feng to collect food and grass for the army so that it can be used in battle." Tian Feng saw that there was nothing he could salvage, so he asked to leave Yuan Shao's side.

"Sure!" Yuan Shao, who was on his head, heard Tian Feng's request, his eyes turned cold, he said a word, waved his sleeves, and left the meeting hall.

"Hmph!" Guo Tu also looked at Tian Feng with a sneer, and then left.

"Why does Yuan Hao have to do this?" The judge also understood Tian Feng's thoughts, sighed helplessly, and was busy with his own affairs.

"Hey!" The disappointed Tian Feng also walked out of the conference hall.

No one noticed that Xu You, who had been silent at the side, raised his head after everyone left, and looked in the direction where everyone left. The light in his eyes was flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Three days later, Yanzhou, Chenliu, Cao Cao's mansion.

Cao Cao sat in the main seat, and there were many civil and military officials sitting below.

Sitting on the right side are Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao, Xin Pi, Hua Xin, Man Chong, Mao Jie and so on.

On the left side are many generals, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian and so on.

"I don't think Liu Bei has to go to Youzhou, Chen Ziming is really a great talent in the world." Cao Cao frowned and said to the audience below.

"We already knew that Liu Bei was developing a navy. I didn't expect that his navy was so powerful that it could transport so many soldiers and horses from the sea to Liaodong." Chen Yu stroked his beard with his right hand and shook his head lightly.

"Fortunately, we have no contact with the sea, otherwise, we would need a large number of troops to defend against its attack from the sea." Xun You nodded slightly.

"Liu Xuande, who was already very powerful, has now newly acquired Youzhou, and his strength has greatly increased, occupying the position of the number one prince in the world, which has become a serious concern to me."

"If his army comes to attack, how can I refuse?" Cao Cao sat in the main seat, leaning forward slightly, and asked the people below.

"My lord, Yuan Shao didn't send people to come to negotiate business, and together attack Liu Bei in the coming year, why not take this opportunity to eradicate him completely." Daozhao sat up, cupped his fists and said to Cao Cao.

"If you attack it, how much do you know?" Cao Cao looked at the crowd and asked.

After everyone heard this, they all calculated secretly. Some frowned, some were deep in thought, and some looked at each other. No one could give the answer Cao Cao wanted.

"Wen Ruo?" Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Cao turned his gaze to Xun Yu.

 changed, thanks
