As his father was rejected, he was dissatisfied with his father. In the following days, Yuan Yao continued to immerse himself in the barracks to train the soldiers in order to prepare for the war that would not be long before.

As for persuading again, there is no need to...

At present, Yuan Yao can only wait for the Central Plains to send back new military newspapers. Only when things really develop as he predicted can his father look at him with admiration, otherwise no matter how much he says... it will be useless.

His father is currently at the peak of his momentum and is full of confidence. It is almost impossible for him to give up the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and go to Yangzhou to develop and accumulate strength.

Over the past month, Yuan Yao has offered generous military salaries among the people to attract young and strong people to join the army, and today he has recruited a team of more than 2,000 people.

Immediately, he selected some elite soldiers from the elite battalion to reliably train with the new army to shorten the time limit for the new army to form an army.

Yuan Yao often went to ask the late former Sun Jian general Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others for advice on military strategies and how to arrange troops and how to practice the methods of sergeants.

After working hard to study military books and war strategies for more than a month and asking questions without shame, Yuan Yao finally achieved some success in using troops. Now this 3,000 soldiers he personally formed also have initial combat power.

And just as he continued to immerse himself in the military.

The rear general's mansion.

Since Yuan Shu announced that he would lead the crowd north while the Yellow Turbans were raging the Central Plains, he has often summoned all his aides to discuss countermeasures over the past few days.

After several people sat down, Yan Xiang was wearing a very formal dress today, wearing a wide Confucian robe, a crown, and sat upright and bowed: "I believe that you will be the lord. If you insist on raising the crowd to move north, then there is a strategy for the lord to help the lord, and I hope you will adopt it!"

"What good strategies do the subsidiaries have? I hope to come quickly."

Looking at Yan Xiang calmly and said, Yuan Shu on the table suddenly felt energetic and quickly smiled and asked for advice.

Upon receiving the response, a smile appeared on Yan Xiang's face, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiang roughly speculates about the current situation. Our army has no way to relieve its grudges with Jingxiang and Liu Biao. Then once our army goes north, he will inevitably lead the crowd to threaten the rear to wait for an opportunity to regain Wancheng."

"Secondly, Cao Cao's prefect of Dongjun was recommended by his lord's brother Yuan Benchu. If the lord wants to entrust the public to Central Plains, he would not want to do so. In addition, Yuan Benchu ​​had sent someone to ask for the lord to see you, hoping that you could support him to support Liu Yu as the emperor, but after the lord refused harshly, his dissatisfaction with you also deepened his dissatisfaction with your lord."

After a little analysis, Yan Xiang's eyes gradually became clear and she said solemnly: "So look at our army in Central Plains will face the attacks of Yuan, Cao and Liu at the same time. If this deadlock is not broken, the situation will be detrimental to our army!"

After listening to Yan Xiang's analysis, Yuan Shu, although confident and arrogant, felt the current situation was unfavorable, his expression changed immediately, and he asked with a worried look: "I don't know what the good plan of the businessman?"

"Sound thought that when the lord raised his people to the north again, he could send envoys to Xuzhou Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan to express his strong relationship and form an alliance with the two families to jointly fight against Yuan and Cao, so as to reduce the pressure on our army."

"Alliance Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian?"

After a word fell, Yuan Shu pondered for a while and said unconfidently: "Will these two really agree to form an alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiang smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, lord! The two of them have a great chance of agreeing to the alliance, and there are two reasons, and they are waiting for Xiang to come one by one."

Seeing that Yuan Shu was not optimistic about Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian's agreement to join forces, Yan Xiang couldn't help but comfort him. After pondering for a while, he said again: "First, Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan have prefectures and counties and have a large capital, but the two of them are completely incomparable to the Yuan family. This momentum and prestige are naturally weaker than Yuan Benchu."

"But lord, you are the legitimate son of the Yuan family and possess most of the family's resources. If they can unite with the lord, they can use the prestige of Yuan to compete with Yuan Shao."

"Secondly, Tao Qian has always been very proud and has always looked down on Cao Cao, who was a eunuch, and there is no need to mention Gongsun Zan. His brother Gongsun Yue died at the hands of Zhou Ang, the general of Yuan Shao, and was defeated by Yuan Benchu ​​in the Panhe War last year, resulting in the loss of the White Horse Yicheng who relied on to become famous. Now there is a deep resentment between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. If the lord is willing to form an alliance with him to fight against Yuan Shao, then Gongsun Zan will naturally be unable to ask for it!"

After a seat of words, Yan Xiang also proposed his own strategy.

Before he could finish, Yan Xiang looked even more serious and bowed and asked: "If the lord insists on going north, then please be sure to send envoys with the two to form an alliance before they can move troops. Otherwise, with the power of Yuan, Liu and Cao, the pressure of our army to confront independently is too great, and it is probably unbearable."

After listening to the analysis, Yuan Shu couldn't help but look at his cousin Yuan Yin on the other side, and then asked softly: "Junge, Zishang's plan, what do you think?"

"Brother, this is a good idea, I will follow you!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu was asking for his opinion, Yuan Yin was also flattered, but Yan Xiang's plan was extremely exquisite. It would be better to form an alliance army to advance and retreat by fighting against the three people alone.

"Brother Zishang is indeed reasonable!"

Yuan Yin said in a deep voice: "With the hatred between Gongsun Zan and his brother Benchu ​​and the desire for the prosperity of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan always wants to seize Jizhou. As long as our army throws out an olive branch, it will definitely agree happily, and then he will send troops to the south."

"Then Gongsun Zan's strength is extremely strong. Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, has always been weak and unable to restrain him. Then his southern expedition will inevitably cause Jizhou to fall into endless wars. Brother Benchu ​​has to do his best to resist it. Then, our army will have no choice but to mobilize its troops to fight south."

"Then it's much easier to fight against Cao Cao alone than to fight with Brother Benchu!"

Yuan Yin's words also vaguely revealed that Yuan Shao was the enemy, and Cao Cao was just a stunning horse.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Yin were both due to the noble origin, but they all greatly ignored Cao Cao's ability.

Although Yan Xiang wanted to remind them not to underestimate Cao Cao, when he thought that the previous words of Prince Yuan Yao made Yuan Shu dissatisfied, he had to keep silent.

"good."

"Since Junge, Zishang, you all agreed to this plan unanimously, the general immediately set out to arrange for the envoys to go to Xuzhou and Youzhou to meet the two of them in negotiations on the alliance. As for the preparation for the army, they will temporarily stop and wait for their reply."

"The lord is wise!"

As soon as these words were finished, seeing that Yuan Shu had accepted his advice for the first time, Yan Xiang finally gave in to compliment from the bottom of her heart.

Immediately, Yuan Yin couldn't help saying: "Brother. Yaoer's progress has been extremely fast in recent days. He also talks very well and has his own ideas. Why not talk to him about the Northern Expedition and see if he has other better solutions?"

"Well? This stranger thoughtfully persuaded me to give up occupying the Central Plains and flee to Yangzhou, a remote place. What countermeasures can he have?"

When Yuan Yao was mentioned, Yuan Shu's anger came to his mind.

"Don't rest as angry, brother."

Looking at Yuan Shu's expression, Yuan Yin comforted him and said, "Yaoer is still young after all, and she still has imperfections in her thinking about everything. My brother should try his best to understand it!"

"After all, he is a brother and a child, so he wants to share your worries no matter what.

"Junge, since the last time the council ended unhappily, this kid hasn't seen it for several days."
