He Kui looked at Huang Wan with a gloomy expression and felt unbearable. He had to temporarily put down his grudges and reminded him: "Donald Huang, although the leader of the Alliance Yuan has the capital of the three generations and three generations and is supported by the whole country, after all, there is only one state in Jizhou. Yanzhou has been fighting fiercely for years and is already deserted. Qingzhou has only half of it. He has to guard against Tian Kai and Tao Qian. Although Liu He occupied Xia Pi and Guangling, he was not able to protect himself, and he may not be able to help. Can these troops in Jizhou and Huang Gong defeat the Sun family and seize Yuzhou? Even if he can win, Sun Ce will retreat to Jiangdong, but it is still a confrontation. What can you do?"

"Yes, Yangzhou was thrown away too quickly, Yuzhou..." Huang Wan sighed repeatedly and did not say anything. Yuzhou is Yuan Shao's prefecture, and it is also a concentrated place. It was originally a state that Yuan Shao attached the most importance to, so Wang Yun and him and others successively took over Yuzhou. They did lay a foundation in Yuzhou, so when Sun Jian took over as the governor of Yuzhou, he could do nothing, only a false reputation.

But Sun Ce was different. He spent three or four years to hollow out the foundation they established in Yuzhou step by step. Now the Yuzhou family that supported Yuan Shao died and fled, and the remaining people did not dare to act rashly. As the former Yuzhou governor, few people dared to respond to him and let him replace Zhu Yan to leave Luoyang to lose most of the meaning of losing.

If you wait a few more years, Yuzhou will become Sun Ce's Yuzhou. Even if Yuan Shao takes over Yuzhou, it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Yuzhou will not only not become his support, but will become his burden, making him unable to take care of it.

"I'm not waiting for time."

He Kui didn't know how to persuade Huang Wan. Huang Wan knew that it was not a good opportunity to launch an attack now, but he also knew that the longer the time delayed, the more unfavorable it was. There might be a chance now. After waiting for a few years, when Sun Ce fully grasped Yuzhou, Yuan Shao might have no chance at all.

"Taiwei." A clerk walked in quickly, panting. "There is a major epidemic in Yuzhou."

"What?" Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

"There is a major epidemic in Yuzhou. Sun Ce has ordered the border blockade, especially Pingyu, and there is no order to enter and exit." The clerk spread a notice in front of Huang Wan. The notice was wrinkled and incomplete, and it was obviously secretly revealed from the list. Fortunately, the content was quite complete. After reading it, Huang Wan sat back slowly, staring at the notice on the case, and said for a long time:

"Yuzhou is unfortunate, and the party members are lucky."

The officials didn't understand why, but He Kui knew it. Sun Ce couldn't take care of himself in the Yuzhou epidemic, which was a good opportunity for Yuan Shao. Perhaps without Yuan Shao's action, Sun Ce would be severely hit by the epidemic. Even if he could escape, he would not have much power to fight back against Yuan Shao who was raising his energy.

However, this Gu Ran is a misfortune in Yuzhou, but it may not be the party member's blessing. In He Kui's opinion, Huang Wan may have preconceived ideas, or deceived himself, and turned a blind eye to what Yuan Shao has done in recent years. Yuan Shao may not be the Yuan Shao in his mind. Even if Yuan Shao defeated Sun Ce, it may not be the party member's blessing.

Just look at He Yong, Zhang Miao's situation will tell. They were both Yuan Shao's arms back then. He Kui wanted to remind Huang Wan, but after seeing his lonely face, he weighed the pros and cons, but he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Giant Horse Water, South Bank.

Yuan Shao held his mount and stood on the river bank, looking at the army crossing the river with his brows on his face.

The scout rode his horse and shuttled back and forth, spreading the news to the central army. After Guo Tu screened and integrated, he reported to him regularly. The army was crossing the river and there were no emergencies. He had time to calm down and think about it. Former general Tuo was about to arrive in Zhuo County and could fight with the Youzhou army at any time. The war was about to break out.

The process of entering Youzhou was very smooth, and Zhang unexpectedly gave up the entire Fanyang County and retreated to Zhuo County in one breath. What Yuan Shao didn't expect was that Gongsun Zan, who had always been known for his bravery, not only did not fight this time, but also retreated again and again. Now he has retreated near Zhuo County. Liu Bei, who was cut off from behind, had no desire to fight, and basically retreated as soon as he contacted him. The two armies had not been able to fight for a long time.

This made Que Yi, who was eager to make contributions, very annoyed. He retreated from the Heishan front line but did not accompany Liu Bei to run long distances. He tried to seize Liu Bei, at least to kill and hurt him. However, this task was not easy to achieve. Liu Bei's subordinates retreated very quickly. Que Yi could not catch up with him, but was almost seized by the cavalry led by Zhao Yun. If Que Yi had not had rich practical experience and was vigilant enough, he might have suffered a loss now.

This made Yuan Shao very uneasy. If even Liu Bei could not defeat him, what could he do if he chased Zhuo County? Liu Bei had well-trained infantry and a strong city to defend, and even if they surrounded Zhuo City, they could not conquer it. The autumn harvest was over, and Gongsun Zan collected all the remaining grains from each county and placed them in Zhuo County. Yuan Shao's local grain collection was not smooth and he could not achieve self-sufficiency. If he besieged the city, he had to collect grain from the surrounding county towns, or directly transport it from Jizhou. Transporting grain for thousands of miles was an unbearable burden, and he could barely deal with it once or twice, but it would not be possible to do so.

If he could not seriously damage Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in the field, he would have to retreat voluntarily. It would be embarrassing to return without success, but other than that, he had no better way. Stopping the army under the strong city is a taboo in military strategists. Gongsun Zan's abnormal retreat may be to create this situation. If he does not retreat for the sake of face, he will only fall into Gongsun Zan's calculations.

The art of war is of great importance to others but not to others. He will not do such stupid things.

Yuan Shao shook his horse whip and turned to look at Tian Feng and Ju Su. "Yuan Hao, Gong and Gongsun Zan avoided fighting, and Liu Bei fought and left. This is not a long-term solution. Do you two have any tricks to defeat the enemy?"

Tian Feng let out a sigh and paused with his cane. "According to my opinion, we should defeat each one. With Zhang Ze's approach, Liu Bei took the lead and Gongsun Zan's cavalry, echoing each other, it is difficult for us to win quickly. It is best to agree to Zhang Ze's request, stabilize Liu Bei and concentrate troops to defeat Gongsun Zan. "

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed and his attitude was a little loose. Zhang Ze sent someone to ask for peace before, but he refused. He received support from small and medium-sized families in northern Jizhou, received a large amount of money and grain, and his troops increased by tens of thousands. If he didn't take this opportunity to take Youzhou, what would he use to reward those who supported him? The army's war consumed a lot of money and grain. If he could not use war to support the war and use spoils to make up for the losses, he would not be able to support so many troops.

He originally thought that as long as he entered Youzhou, Gongsun Zan would take the initiative to seek a battle, but he never thought that Gongsun Zan would retreat again and again, and even Fan Yang gave up directly. This not only made his plan to quickly decide, but he could not even realize the idea of ​​winning a few battles first and boosting morale. After passing the Giant Mashui, Zhuo County was about to be defeated, and he felt a little regretful. He should not be too ambitious and hoped to win in one battle.

Yuan Shao spent a lot of effort and said, "Is it still too late to agree?"

Tian Feng and Ju Su were both surprised and looked at Yuan Shao at the same time. This was really not easy. Yuan Shao actually gave in. When Tian Feng made this suggestion before, Yuan Shao's face looked quite ugly, just about Tian Feng's Ju Jun.

"Yuan Hao, Gong, why do you look at me like this?" Yuan Shao stroked his beard under his jaw and smiled slightly. He smiled a little reluctantly, but he covered it up very well. "It was not possible at this time, but it did not mean it was not possible now."
