Chapter 295
"Hmph, what a joke, Zhang Xiu's life and death are unknown now, it's a good opportunity, my lord, don't listen to the villain and miss the opportunity." Guo Tu shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.

It is absolutely no problem to offer advice by yourself, and if Jingzhou is destroyed as soon as possible, Yuan Shao can also advance to the Ninth Five-Year Venerable faster, so that they can become ministers of the dragon.

"You... Guo Tu, you are the wrong master!" Tian Feng's body trembled, then he turned to look at Yuan Shao, and said solemnly: "My lord, Zhang Xiu should not be underestimated!"

"At the moment, my lord should focus on self-cultivation. In at most three years, my lord will be able to crush Jingzhou, thereby unifying the world and accomplishing my great cause." Tian Feng's voice trembled.

"Wrong master? Tian Feng, Tian Feng, I think you are the one who misunderstood the master." Guo Tu said coldly, pointing at Tian Feng, "Zhang Xiu is nothing more than a reckless man, but he was coaxed to the point of failure by your idiot. win."

"If you are afraid of Zhang Xiu, you can just stay in Yecheng and watch how we conquer Jingzhou." Guo Tu was not polite at all, shaking his sleeves and snorting coldly.

"My lord, don't listen to slander, if you fight, your lord will be defeated, you will be defeated!" Tian Feng said excitedly, clasping his fists and insisting on his own opinion.

"Enough, shut up for me."

Yuan Shao was sullen, and when such a big event came up, his subordinates would argue endlessly, which made people irritated.Especially this Tian Feng, who didn't care about the occasion or his face at all.

If it wasn't for his loyalty, he would have been shot to death long ago, it was too noisy.

In fact, if Yuan Shao really listened to Tian Feng, it would be really difficult for Zhang Xiu. After all, the three states in the south are not as good as the Central Plains, let alone Yuan Shao's six states.

As long as Yuan Shao stationed troops to cultivate himself, it would be Zhang Xiu who would suffer. Although he would not collapse without a fight, there was no guarantee that Zhang Xiu would not be able to bear the pressure and change his mind.

"Ju Shou, what do you think should be done now, should we send troops?" Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shou with great importance, and raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

Ju Shou pondered for a while, looked at Tian Feng, who was red-faced, and shook his head secretly. Tian Feng's idea was right, but he was too upright and arrogant, which was not advisable.

"Yes, you shouldn't!" Ju Shou replied.

"Oh~, how do you say that?" Yuan Shao became interested. This kind of person is the one who can decide big things.

"Zhang Xiu's expedition to Jiaozhou, according to the round-trip distance, he should not be able to return in a short time. Therefore, it should be true that the dragons in Jingzhou have no leader at the moment. This is a good opportunity to attack."

"If Zhang Xiu has not returned, everyone in Jingzhou will be terrified. Therefore, it is not inappropriate to gather victorious troops at this time and attack Zhang Xiu in one fell swoop. It is indeed the best strategy." Ju Shou said with his hands clasped.

Listening to Jushou's words, Guo Tu looked at Tian Feng and sneered, as if he was talking to Tian Feng, did you hear that, and you still want to fight him?

"It's just that my lord has just pacified Youzhou. Although he is a victorious teacher, the ancients have the right way. If you go south with a victorious teacher, if you can't pacify Jingzhou within three months, the three armies will definitely die." Being tired is a disadvantage."

"What's more, Youzhou has just been established. Although the family welcomes the lord, if the lord's situation is unfavorable, it will cause the already unstable Youzhou to fall apart."

"Furthermore, the black bandits in the Taihang Mountains have not been wiped out, and there may be remaining troubles. This is wrong. As for whether it should be right or not, it should be decided by the Lord." Ju Shou explained in a deep voice.

After listening, Yuan Shao fell into deep thought.

Jushou's analysis is not unreasonable.

It would be fine if he led the army in one go, but once he was in a stalemate, it would not be good for him. After all, Jizhou is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and the battle of thousands of miles will cost a lot.

If you fail to achieve results, or even fail to win, I am afraid that Yan and Yuzhou will give up.

"In your opinion, should we fight?" Yuan Shao looked at Jushou curiously.

"My lord, as I just said, it doesn't matter if you fight or not. If you fight at this time, then you can take down Jingzhou in one go. If you don't fight, then you can recuperate."

"Just as Yuan Hao said, the lord sits on half of the Han Dynasty, no matter whether the people's livelihood is rich, it is military equipment, or money, food and grass, the lord is far better than Zhang Xiu."

"It only takes three years of cultivation, and when you are stable and Yanyu is restored to the past, you can gather the soldiers of Jiqing, supplemented by the soldiers of Yanyu, and you and the cavalry before you can conquer Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

Jushou spoke in a sonorous and forceful voice.

"This...three years of training, it's too long." Yuan Shao's face showed a tangled look, and his voice was not too loud, but everyone could see that Yuan Shao wanted to win the battle.

"Hehe, my lord, what Jushou said is not bad, but he ignored two people, two extremely important people." Xu You smiled lightly.

"You mean... Cao Cao and Liu Zhang?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You suspiciously, his brows slowly relaxed.

"Exactly, Cao Cao surrendered to the lord, and there are still tens of thousands of elites under his command. The lord can promise Yangzhou to him and let him lead the army to a decisive battle with Zhuge Liang, the shepherd of Yangzhou."

"Thus, hold back the elite of Yangzhou!"

"On the other hand, Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang is cautious in the police, and has many grievances with Zhang Xiu. You can send someone to lobby this person and allow him to separate the regime in Yizhou,"

"With the prestige of the lord four generations and three princes, I think Liu Zhang will not refuse, not to mention that his military and civil servants will definitely do their best to facilitate this matter. It doesn't take much. Liu Zhang just needs to send someone to pretend to attack Nanjun."

"In this way, Jingzhou removes the garrisons in various places. When the time comes, coupled with the restraint of the Jingzhou family, the strength that Jingzhou can use to counter the lord will never exceed 10 people."

"In this way, the lord's army is twice as strong as his, and he occupies the harmony of time and people. How can he be invincible in this battle?" Xu You clasped his fists and said calmly.

As long as this is the case, Jingzhou will definitely lose,

In this regard, he can be said to be full of confidence.

Yuan Shao hesitated and fell into deep thought. Xu Youjushou and others had already analyzed all the pros and cons clearly, but he hesitated a bit as to how to make a decision.

"My lord, if you want me to tell you that Zhang Xiu is not in Jingzhou now, it should be equalized in one fell swoop. If my lord doesn't go south, I will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world."

Wen Chou patted his chest and said angrily.

He was too lazy to listen to the babbling of these scribes.

"That's right, the last general has long heard that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun under Zhang Xiu's command are unparalleled in martial arts, and they are fierce generals in the world. Wen Chou and I have long wanted to slash Huang Zhong and shoot Zhao Yun."

Yan Liang was more than eight feet long and had a hulking back. At this time, he pressed his sword and came out with a dignified and excited expression, as if he couldn't wait to fight the two of them.

From Yan Liang's point of view, even if these two are powerful, it is because they have not met Yan Liang before, otherwise they will be killed off their horses to shock the heroes of the world.

"Haha, with two beloved generals helping each other, why can't we defeat the enemy?" Yuan Shao stroked his beard, laughed heartily, and waved his hands: "Send the order, and the three armies will go south immediately, ready to attack Jingzhou."

"In addition, tomorrow we will set up a sacrifice to worship the sky, the earth and the ancestors, and sacrifice the blood to sacrifice the flag, and prepare to attack Jingzhou." Yuan Shao was a little excited, drawing his sword and yelling violently.

"No!" All the generals agreed to drink.

All the civil and military officials also nodded their heads in delight. If they win Jingzhou, then Yuan Shao will be the co-lord of the world, so it couldn't be easier for them to add officials and become nobles.

"My lord, don't send troops!"

Tian Feng went out directly, blushing, knelt down in the lobby, shouted and kowtowed: "My lord, don't send troops, you will be defeated if you send troops!"

Hearing the sound, Yuan Shao's face turned cold.

"Tian Feng, I think you are loyal and you will not be held accountable. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will not forgive you lightly." Yuan Shao's voice was a little cold, and he said angrily.

"My lord, even if you execute Feng today, Feng will speak out. This expedition is like giving Zhang Xiu a chance, and he will definitely lose." Tian Feng remonstrated.

"Hmph, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being cruel. Someone, come and drag Tian Feng out for me and chop him up." Yuan Shao was furious.

This man didn't give him any face.

With so many people, he kept saying that he would be defeated, and even relied on death remonstrance to think that he would not dare to kill him, which made me angry.

"My lord, even though Tian Feng is arrogant, he is not guilty of death. I still hope that the lord will make amends." It was Guo Tu who begged for mercy.

"My lord, Tian Fenggang committed the crime. He looked at no one in sight. Although he would not die, he must be punished. You thought that he could be removed from his post and thrown into a dungeon."

"Let him wait in the dungeon to see how the lord defeats the enemy, so as to let him know that the lord is majestic." Xu You raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at Tian Feng and said flatteringly.

"Forget it, Tian Feng, considering everyone's intercession for you, I will be exonerated today." Yuan Shao thought for a while, waved his hands and shouted: "Come here, push Tian Feng to the dungeon."

"My lord, don't listen to slander! No, don't send troops!" One after another hoarse voice came out, and everyone who heard it frowned slightly.

"Noisy!" After Tian Feng was taken away, Yuan Shao finally felt calm, curled his lips and muttered something, then glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, gather a large army, and go south to Jingzhou."

"Yan Liang listened to the order, and I command you to lead [-] cavalry, to be the vanguard of the army, to strengthen the prestige of the army, immediately break up the camp, and send troops to Jingzhou, there must be no mistakes."

"Promise!" Yan Liang clasped his fists in response.

"Zhang Yun, Gao Lan listened to the order. You two will lead [-] troops each, and you will be the left and right wings of the army, responsible for protecting the safety of the central army. There must be no mistakes." Yuan Shao said again.

"The last general takes orders!" The two agreed.

"Wen Chou, you lead an army of [-], as the rear of the army, and coordinate the entire army, there must be no mistakes." Yuan Shao said loudly.

"Promise!" Wen Chou promised firmly.

"Chunyu Qiong, you lead an army of eight thousand, supplemented by local county servants to transport food and grass for the three armies, there is absolutely no room for loss." Yuan Shao urged again.

"Don't worry, my lord." Chunyu Qiong patted his chest and said.

"Han Meng, judge, the two of you lead an army of [-] to defend Yecheng, and you must not make mistakes." Yuan Shao warned.

"No!" The two agreed.

"The rest of the civil and military forces will follow me to go out with the army and conquer Jingzhou in one fell swoop, so as to prevent chaos." Yuan Shao looked a little excited, this was his brilliance.

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"Okay, let's all go down and get ready!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, glanced at Xu You, and asked him to stay. There are still some things that Xu You needs to do.

As the crowd left, Xu You bowed and said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Ziyuan, the capture of Jingzhou is the most important thing this time. Among them, you need to pay attention to contacting Cao Cao, contacting the Jingzhou family, and even Liu Zhang in Sichuan and Shu."

"Later, you will send someone to inform Cao Cao and Liu Zhang to prepare to send troops, so as to respond to the Lord's call, and then take Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

Sometimes Yuan Shao is rough but fine.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have my own sense of proportion," Xu You clasped his fists and explained, with a smile on his lips. Several armies attacked Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was expected to be defeated.

……

The second year of Jianxing, spring!

Yuan Shao listened to the advice of his advisers and commanded a total of 20 troops, known as a million-strong army, to send troops to Jingzhou.At the same time, Yuan Shao sent people to contact Cao Cao, Liu Zhang and others.

So far, the prelude to the decisive battle between the North and the South has officially begun.

As for the news of Yuan Shao's going south, it was spread across the world like flying, which shocked countless people, and the eyes of the world gathered on both sides of Jingzhou.

Everyone really wants to know who is the winner in this protracted decisive battle between the north and the south.

…………

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

At this time, inside the Kuai family mansion.

Just listening, singing and laughing together, everyone's face is pink, showing joyful expressions.

"Brother Kuai, Duke Yuan has finally gone south."

"Yes, Jingzhou will be vulnerable to a million troops."

"Haha, now I want to know, when Zhang Xiu leads his army back to Jingzhou, and finds that Jingzhou has been occupied by Yuan Shao, what kind of expression will he have?"

For a while, everyone laughed and said.

"Everyone, it's really a happy event for Mr. Yuan to go south, but we must not be careless. Don't let that old bastard Jia Xu get caught, so be more careful."

"In addition, Duke Yuan is so powerful that Jingzhou may be difficult to resist. We must show our value, otherwise we will only be marginalized when Duke Yuan enters Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang said loudly.

"Brother Kuai is right,"

"Brother Kuai, what do you think we should do?"

Kuai Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Jiangling in Nanjun County is the main road separating the north and the south. If you go from south to north, you must pass through Jiangling. I think we can arrange people to prepare for Jiangling."

"Behind the high walls of Jiangling City, as long as Jiangling is taken down, the connection between Jingnan and Xiangyang can be blocked, and the pressure on the front can be relieved in this way."

Listening to Kuai Liang's words, everyone pondered.

Then, everyone nodded one after another, already approving the plan to isolate Jiangling in their hearts.

"Of course, such plans need to be implemented after Yuan Shao goes south, and you can prepare in advance. But before that, we can let people spread rumors."

"First, it is said that Zhang Xiu conquered Jiaozhou, but his life and death are still unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Secondly, it is said that Yuan Shao led a million troops to the south, Jingzhou is already in danger, and the officials of various ministries still have secret relationships with Yuan Shao. In this way, civil strife is bound to occur in Jingzhou."

"I'd like to see how those bastards in the past can support Zhang Xiu at this time." Kuai Liang snorted coldly, speaking with disdain.

"Haha, okay, when the time comes, the people of Jingzhou will be terrified. I really want to see how those people should deal with themselves." Everyone laughed.

Originally, those common people relied on Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu was missing, coupled with Yuan Shao going south, these people were absolutely panicked again.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's arrange it according to this arrangement." Kuai Liang waved his hand and said excitedly, as long as Yuan Shao can win, it is not difficult to get Jiuqing.

Because of this, he felt that Yuan Shao was much better than Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu had nothing to do but suppress them.

Immediately, everyone dispersed.

At the same time, across Jingzhou, one piece of news spread like the wind, and countless people knew about it.
