In Yuan Shao's heart, Lu Bu was a wolf, and a wolf that could attack Jizhou at any time. Only after destroying this wolf could he have more careful treatments against others. Although he always looked down on Lu Bu's words, he had to admit that the troops under Lu Bu were too powerful.

"Lord, the Gongsun family and Yan Rou in Liaodong are unclear, and the Wuhuan people do not want to send troops." Feng Jidao.

"Hmph, a group of short-sighted people. Once the Bingzhou army arrives, do they think they can still save it?"

"Lord, my subordinates are willing to go to Liaodong and convince the Gongsun family with their silence." Xu You said.

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "I have a son who is here to go, so there is no worries about the affairs of the Gongsun family."

"Lord, Cao Cao has the intention to seize Xuzhou. If Cao Cao was allowed to occupy Xuzhou, he would have the land of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou under his rule. If he competed with his lord for Qingzhou, Jizhou would be in danger." Xin Pi said.

The strategists on the field also felt the crisis of Jizhou. Jizhou is rich, and it would be useless if he could not have more territory. However, the neighbors of Jizhou were too strong, Bingzhou was a tiger and wolf, and Cao Cao also showed his strong strength. Cao Cao was an ambitious person, which could be seen from his attack on Yuan Shu and his desire to capture Xuzhou.

The places in Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou seem a little weak under the raging locust plague and war scourge. Once Cao Cao can recover from the war, it will be an extremely terrifying existence.

"There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xuzhou, and it is so difficult for Cao Aman to capture him." Yuan Shao could only pin his hopes on Liu Bei's failure so quickly.

Tian Feng and others showed concern. Looking at the previous battles between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Liu Bei was at a disadvantage and was besieged by Cao's army twice in Pengcheng. Even though he had Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the two powerful generals, were far inferior to Cao's army in terms of military strength.

Let’s talk about the fact that after Guo Jia arrived in Youzhou, he immediately summoned officials from the provincial governor’s office and followed the inspectors to Youzhou to all places. He wanted to establish the prestige of Jinhou in Youzhou with his powerful skills. Compared with Bingzhou, Jinhou had very weak control in Youzhou, and many people did not know the name of Jinhou. Even if Jinhou was gradually distributing the fields in Youzhou to the people, how could the families in Youzhou wait for the interests they were divided by the people? On the surface, they obeyed the orders of Jinhou, but secretly embezzled the fields in the hands of the people, and had enough strength. Even if Bingzhou appointed officials from all over the country were helpless in the face of such a situation.

Zhang Yan is also a legendary figure in Jizhou. Before leaving, Lu Bu also specifically instructed to use Zhang Yan more. No matter what, when the Bingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army fought a decisive battle, Zhang Yan played a huge role, restraining the troops of Jizhou. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Bingzhou to win. If it weren't for Yang Feng's betrayal, how could the Heishan Army be destroyed so easily? From the confrontation between Zhang Yan and the Jizhou Army, it can be seen that Zhang Yan was a strategic person. Otherwise, he would have been defeated by the Jizhou Army for so many years. Once Zhang Yan was used by Bingzhou, he would have been the only general in the future.

When he first met Guo Jia, he was at the Muslim Mansion of Bingzhou Prefecture. When he saw Guo Jia again, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh. He was defeated by 100,000 mercenaries in the past, but he was defeated by Yang Feng.

However, what Guo Jia still felt in Zhang Yan was a strong fighting spirit. Such a general was worthy of respect. He would not be lost because of temporary setbacks, nor would he be discouraged because of defeat. Only in time can he achieve great success.

"Victory and defeat are common military affairs, and General Zhang does not need to worry about it." After a long conversation, Guo Jia felt better about Zhang Yan and comforted him.

Zhang Yan clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, if the Marquis of Jin intends to attack Jizhou in the future, he will be the front office to wash away the hatred of the past."

Guo Jia nodded slightly and said, "It's good for General Zhang to have such a wish, but you must understand that soldiers are a major event. You should not affect the actions of the army because of the joys and anger of the general. In this way, the army will not be far from failure."

Zhang Yan clasped her fists and said yes, but she did not despise Guo Jia because she was young.

"From General Zhang's view, what's the problem with Youzhou now?" Guo Jia asked.

Zhang Yan understood that this was Guo Jia's temptation on him. He was silent for a moment: "From the subordinates' perspective, there are three reasons why Youzhou is unstable. One is that the Xianbei people caused disaster to the border counties and the people were living in poverty. The two are that the Wuhuan people were on the side to cause trouble. Even if the Marquis of Jin defeated the Wuhuan people, the Wuhuan people would take risks for the sake of profit. Moreover, Yan Rou and others had close ties with Jizhou, so they had to be careful. Third, Youzhou is close to Jizhou. Once Jizhou recuperated from the war last year, he would definitely not be willing to let Youzhou fall into the hands of Jinhou so easily. If these three can be eliminated, the affairs of Youzhou will be settled."

"Okay, General Zhang is really a general. He will definitely be able to make achievements and achieve great things under the lord's command in the future." Guo Jia smiled. Although Zhang Yan's analysis was not comprehensive enough, he had generally expressed the situation facing Youzhou. If these three factors could be eliminated, the rest of the matter would be trivial, so he would not have to come to Youzhou in person to take a walk.

"Military advisor, the people of Heishan Army under the command of Huoyi, are still in the mountains. I wonder if they can be allowed to go to Youzhou?" Zhang Yan said, this was the question he was most concerned about. After Yang Feng surrendered to Jizhou, it is conceivable what fate the remaining Heishan Army would face. Yuan Shao would not let the Heishan Army go so easily, and even the people among them were no exception.

Guo Jia frowned slightly when he heard this. The Heishan Army under Zhang Yan's command not only refers to the army, but also ordinary people. Once these people arrive in Youzhou, they will bring great trouble to Youzhou in a short period of time.

As if seeing Guo Jia’s concern, Zhang Yan clasped his fists and said, “Military advisor, there is some money and food in the Heishan army. Just like Bingzhou, the people of the Heishan army need to reclaim the fields in Youzhou without consuming the food and grass in Youzhou.”

Guo Jia's frowning stretched out. If this is the case, hundreds of thousands of people would be added to Youzhou. "This is the case, I can make the decision. However, after these people enter Youzhou, they should be strictly restrained and should not disrupt the counties."

"Here." Zhang Yan said: "After the people of the Heishan Army entered Youzhou, can they share the fields in Youzhou like the people of Bingzhou?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Of course, but there are not many fields in Youzhou today, and Youzhou is barren. These fields need to be reclaimed by the people of the Heishan Army."

"Thank you, the military advisor." Zhang Yan said with politeness. Such conditions are definitely very generous to the Black Mountain Army. Even if it is placed on any prince, he would not be willing to give so much land to ordinary people. Only Bingzhou has the courage to do so.
