Pei Qing soon received a letter from Xun You. After seeing Xun You's concern for Qu Yi, he immediately smiled and said, "Although Qu Yi is capable, Yuan Shao may not dare to use it alone again, because he has no ability to control it at all. I predict that Yuan Shao will definitely fight for Hanoi next, so that he can realize his dream of using the emperor to command the princes. So we should prepare for the battle next time. We haven't sent troops to fight in person for a long time. I wonder how much of my ability has been put down?"

Deng Dang, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "The lord's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. No one can match him when he comes to the formation. This is the number one general in the world."

After hearing this, Xie Yingdeng, Zheng Chang and others all agreed with Deng Dang's words.

But Hu Zhao suddenly said coldly: "How do you slander ministers say such flattering words? If you say this, the lord will underestimate the heroes of the world. There is no eyebrow on the battlefield. As the lord, if he goes to the battlefield to fight in person, if he has any injuries, he will be boundless sins!"

Hu Zhao said this sentence, and everyone who praised Pei Qing before changed their expressions and quickly admitted their mistakes to Hu Zhao.

"Mr. Hu, it's because the last general is wrong. He shouldn't have made such flattering words. I hope Mr. will forgive me."

"Yes, Mr. Hu, I shouldn't have said such words to encourage my lord's arrogance. In fact, although my lord's martial arts are good, it is only a good match for the future. I want to compare it with famous generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there is really a big gap."

"It's extreme, it's right. The lord's martial arts are only ordinary. We usually make him compete in martial arts, so he seems to be more skilled. His martial arts are just useful when he is healthy and self-defense. When he goes to the battlefield, he is a variety of skills, and he is not useful."

After realizing the intention of what Hu Zhao said, the three of them followed Hu Zhao's words. On the one hand, they were exempt from Hu Zhao's punishment, and on the other hand, they really didn't want Pei Qing to really come to the front line of the battlefield, because they all knew that going to the battlefield was not a joke, and the son of a daughter would not sit in the hutang. If Pei Qing had some accident on the battlefield, it would be a responsibility they could not bear.

However, Hu Zhao frowned when he heard the old man and his words, because their words did not conform to the facts. Such words would stimulate Pei Qing's competitive spirit. Once Pei Qing proposed to compete with them to prove himself, in the end, the three of them could only slap themselves in the face, because everyone knew that Pei Qing's real martial arts was stronger than any of them. Even Xie Yingdeng, the strongest among them, would be great to be able to last for 200 rounds under Pei Qing's full attack, let alone others?

Fortunately, what Hu Zhao was worried about did not happen, and Pei Qing did not mention the competition, because Pei Qing knew that these people were sincerely considering his safety, and he deeply hid this affection in his heart. Compared with these, what does it matter if his martial arts are recognized by them? Even if they do not recognize them, will his martial arts be reduced?

Pei Qing did not express his emotions. He sorted out his emotions and immediately ordered the gathering of civil and military officials to discuss the battle with Yuan Shao.

Not long after, all the civil and military officials gathered together. Pei Qing briefly introduced the battle situation in Hanoi to them, and then said to them: "Yuan Shao was not worried about Qu Yi, and he would definitely lead the army to fight in person. In this way, Xun Gongda's strength alone is not enough to defend. We must make corresponding countermeasures and rush to Xun Gongda as soon as possible to ensure that we will not suffer losses in the battle with Yuan Shao. Therefore, I decided to lead the army to resist Yuan Shao this time. At the same time, our army also consumed a lot of Yuan Shao's strength during the battle in Hanoi, especially Zhang He, Gao Lan surrendered, and was captured by Lu Kuang,

Lu Xiang, Lu Weihuang were killed, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were defeated, and this hit Yuan Shao was very heavy. Now the total number of troops we can transfer is actually not as good as Yuan Shao, but the gap between the two sides has been narrowed. In this case, I still have the confidence to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. As long as I defeat Yuan Shao, we can advance into Hebei and occupy the fertile land of Hebei. At the same time, Cao Cao's scope of activities is limited to Yanqing and the two states, compressing his expansion ability. This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. I wonder what the public agrees? I would like to ask everyone to comment on this matter."

At this time, he heard Xue Zong, who had just been resigned, exclaimed, "What? Yuan Shao led his troops to fight? Duke Pei, you must think twice at this time. Yuan Shao is the son of the Yuan clan of Runan, Yuan clan of Runan, four generations and three dukes, and his disciples are all over the world. He has extremely high expectations in the court and the country. Not to mention, Yuan Shao has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, and there are many famous generals. Yan Liangwen rarely encounters enemies in the world. There are many wise and conspiring people, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xu You are all resourceful. It is not easy to defeat him. Moreover, our army's military rations are not that sufficient. If the two sides confront each other, the officials think that our victory or defeat is unpredictable. With months of accumulation, it is really not worth the loss to compete for a Hanoi without much practical benefits."

Pei Qing nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked, "I wonder what other people think? Let's talk about it together."

But Lou Gui said, "I don't agree with Xue Jingwen's view. Now after more than a month of consumption, Yuan Shao's military strength has dropped greatly. The supply of food is also a problem. Moreover, Yuan Shao's rear is unstable, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan are eyeing him. If he doesn't have to fight our army with all his strength, no one is the opponent of our army. Once he attacks us with all his strength, his rear will be unstable, so we can still fight this battle."

Deng Zhi also smiled and said, "What Lou Zibo said makes sense. Although Yuan Shao still looks like a giant, he is now a centipede worm that dies without being stiff. After several previous wars, his soldiers were greatly damaged, and his morale and morale declined. Yan Liangwen was defeated in the Chouxin. Although he fought hard, he was already in a bad mood. Only one Qu Yi was considered a famous general, but he was arrogant and Yuan Shao was even more afraid of him and did not dare to let go.
