When setting off, Zhao Jiu took a letter in his hand and rushed to report: "General, Marshal Yan is gone! When I went to his tent, I only found this letter."
Lu Bu took it, opened it, and browsed carefully.
The content of the letter is roughly that Zhang Yan decided to leave, and he will never see Lu Bu again in this life, and let the bandit chiefs follow Lu Bu for a good life, and also prevent everyone from looking for him.
Shangdang County.
In front of Chu Lu's grave.
The sword clanged out of its sheath.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Jizhou, Julu County.
Since Yuan Shao led the army to defeat Gongsun Zan in the south of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan retreated in a row until Yijing.When he finally remembered his military adviser Li Ru, he hurriedly sent someone to invite him, but found that Li Ru had long since disappeared.
Even if they searched the whole of Youbeiping, there was no news, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
Without Li Ru's advice and suggestions, Gongsun Zan knew that he was no match for Yuan Shao, so he stuck to Yijing, dug more than ten heavy trenches along the Yi River, and built mounds as high as five or six feet in the trenches. There are camps.
The mound in the center of the trench was the tallest, reaching more than ten feet. Gongsun Zan lived in it, used iron as the gate, hoarded millions of grain and grass, and decided to stick to it to the end.
Gongsun Zan was beaten into autism, and Yuan Shao couldn't do anything about him for a while, so he ordered his soldiers to plunder the counties of Youzhou.
As a result, the people of Youzhou can be said to have suffered a catastrophe, with hundreds of thousands of families broken up, wives and children separated.
When Gongsun Zan heard about this, although he was annoyed, he was also afraid that this was Yuan Shao's trick to seduce him, so he strictly ordered his soldiers not to attack without authorization.People die when they die, and it has little to do with him anyway.
After plundering Youzhou, Yuan Shao saw that Gongsun Zan still refused to fight, so he also slowly retreated south to Jizhou.
When the army retreated to Julu County, Yuan Shao heard that Lv Bu had captured Heishan, and he also subdued nearly [-] rebel troops in the mountain, as well as hundreds of thousands of mountain people.
"This Zhang Yan, thanks to the fact that he is still known as the handsome thief, it is useless! I asked him to submit to me a few years ago, but he refused. Now it is good, the guy surnamed Lu has been taken advantage of for nothing!"
Yuan Shao was so angry that he cursed loudly, both startled and angry.
The Taihang Mountains connect Bingzhou and Jizhou. The terrain in the mountains is complex and dangerous. Whoever occupies this place has the possibility of putting pressure on the other side, and can send troops to attack at any time.
In the past, with Zhang Yan as a buffer, Yuan Shao was at ease in Jizhou.Even though Zhang Yan and other thieves plundered from time to time, it was still a small fight, which did not hurt the bones.
Let Lu Bu take this place now, it's like having a tiger taking a nap beside you, who can sleep like this!
Yuan Shao hurriedly summoned his men and soldiers to discuss countermeasures.
"My lord, although Lü Bu occupies Montenegro and surrendered all the thieves, it seems like a tiger with wings added, but I think this is the best time to attack Lv Bu's army!"
Tian Feng, who served as a military adviser, stood up and suggested to Yuan Shao. His opinion was just one word: fight!
"Yuan Hao, how confident are you in going to war with Lu Bu?"
Yuan Shaoxi narrowed his eyes. Although he had sent Yan Liang to garrison Wei Jun long ago, he had never formally declared war on Lu Bu.Yuan Shao has his own scruples. If Lu Bu loses, he can return to Guanzhong, but if he loses, he will be completely cold.
"At least ninety percent."
Tian Feng stroked the scribe's beard on his chin, his eyes were firm and confident.
Hearing this reply, Yuan Shao was particularly surprised. When Qu Yi defected to Lv Bu, he wanted to go to Lv Bu to win back.At that time, it was Tian Feng who persuaded him not to go to war, and even said that the chance of winning was less than [-]%.
Now that Lu Bu has subdued all the thieves in Montenegro, his power has risen sharply. It stands to reason that the odds of winning should be even smaller, but Tian Feng said that he has a [-]% chance of winning. What kind of algorithm is this?
Yuan Shao couldn't figure it out.
"My lord, it's time and power! At the beginning, when Lv Bu occupied Yanzhou, he didn't have any worries at all. He had enough food, grass, soldiers and horses, and he could go on a campaign as you wished. That's why I don't suggest you confront him head-on. But now, Lv Bu wants to Nearly a million mountain people moved to Luoyang, this is a feat, but it is also a fatal mistake!"
Tian Feng's eyes shone brightly, and Lu Bu had a good plan, but the daily rations needed for a population of nearly one million were not a small number.
Luoyang was ruined, and there was no food to feed these people, so Lu Bu could only get it from Guanzhong.In addition, Yanzhou has also implemented a new order, and in the past two years, there is almost no need to count on the taxes paid by the people of Yanzhou.
In this way, the expenses of the army and these mountain people can only be counted on the base camp in Guanzhong.
In Guanzhong, the gentry were suppressed by Lu Bu. On the surface, they seemed to be amicable, but in fact they hated Lu Bu extremely.
Now we only need to fight Lu Bu and spend time with him.
With the consumption rate of the war and the millions of mouths to eat, no matter how much food Lu Bu had stored in Guanzhong, it would not take long before it would be wiped out.
The longer the war went on, the more uncomfortable Lu Bu was.
"At that time, hundreds of thousands of mountain people will riot together. We only need to apply a little pressure, and Lu Bu will be overwhelmed by himself."
Speaking of his pride, Tian Feng couldn't help stroking his beard again, his face was radiant, as if pinching the enemy's Achilles' heel.Lu Bu wants to swallow nearly a million mountain people in one go, so I will use them to burst Lu Bu's belly!
"My lord, what Junshi Tian said is true, and my subordinates agree with it!"
Supervisor Jushou echoed his words, and at the same time supplemented Tian Feng's strategy.It is recommended to fight for a long time, enter Hanoi, gradually camp in Henan, and at the same time dispatch elite cavalry to copy its borders, so that the land under Lu Bu's rule will not be safe.Such actions, at most two or three years, can exhaust Lu Jun and destroy Lu Dingcheng.
Yuan Shao had an expression of emotion on his face. If he could defeat Lu Bu, who else would be his opponent in this world?
"My lord, absolutely not!"
At this time, a middle-aged literati sitting opposite Tian Feng got up and loudly advised: "In the past few years to conquer Gongsun, most of Jizhou's money and food have been spent. If you continue to attack Lu Bu, as Tian Junjun and Ju Jianjun said Generally speaking, if we fight for two or three years, or even longer, the treasury of Jizhou may not be able to support it. At that time, don't Lv Bu fail to defeat it, but our soldiers will be exhausted first!"
Sure enough, Yuan Shao showed hesitation on his face.
At this time, Guo Tu, who was next to the middle-aged scribe, also took advantage of the situation and said: "Xu Biejia's words are true. The war is far from being a waste of money. Take the conquest of Gongsun Zan as an example. It has been fought for so many years and cost countless money. The lords of the aristocratic family and the people at the bottom all complained quite a lot. In addition, the soldiers are exhausted, if they don’t rest and recuperate, they will start a war with Lu Bu, and it may be difficult to win, my lord, please think twice!"
"You two don't talk nonsense, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once you miss it, it will be hard to have this opportunity!" Tian Feng has a straightforward personality, and the thing he can't understand is to scold him immediately, without giving others face at all.
"Mr. Tian, if we go to war with Lu Bu, it will only be a battle between cranes and clams, and others will reap the benefits." Xu You fought back not to be outdone, no matter how big or small, as long as Tian Feng agrees, he will surely Opposition.
"Right now, Lv Bu has not invaded the territory of Jizhou. If we attack others first, this is totally untenable in righteousness. The sage Confucius also said: if the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, nothing will happen.
Could it be that you want the lord to bear the infamy of injustice! "
Although Yuan Shao had many strategists, almost none of them pissed in a bucket.
Listening to the constant quarrel in the hall, like hundreds of ducks quacking incessantly, Yuan Shao's head hurts.
Although Tian Feng has a bad temper, he still has skills.Take Napo Gongsun Zan as an example, most of the time, it was Tian Fengxian's strategy that worked wonders.
But what Xu You and Guo Tu said seemed to make sense.
Just when Yuan Shao was in a dilemma, a servant came into the hall and reported: "My lord, the young master is ill and has a persistent high fever. Madam is in a hurry. Please go and have a look."
Yuan Shao had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan and the second son Yuan Xi, but his favorite was the youngest son Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shao even mentioned in private that the person who can inherit his position in the future must be his youngest son Yuan Shang.
