Yuan Shao was depressed because Zhao Yun's attack on Jizhou was not going well for his side. At this moment, he suddenly heard Ju Shou's suggestion to abandon Jizhou and was furious.

He said to Jushou:"I concentrated my forces to capture Jizhou, even to the point of breaking with Gongsun Zan. The reason why Ru was attacked by Liu Feng's son was precisely because of Gongsun Zan.

Not to mention that I spent a lot of time to capture Jizhou. How much effort is there? Simply speaking, this Jizhou is the first of the nine states since the Dayu Ding established the nine states. Its position is special and I cannot give up easily.

Besides, my Yuan family in Runan has four generations and three sons. Now it is just Liu Feng's child's offensive. At one point, I have not yet gained an absolute advantage, nor have I been completely defeated. If I retreat directly, wouldn’t I be ridiculed by everyone in the world?"

Jushou heard Yuan Shao’s rebuttal, so he could only patiently explain:"My lord, please don’t be angry, please let me explain.

Although Jizhou has a special location, the combat effectiveness of Liu Feng's troops is indeed much stronger than ours. Therefore, when they attack Jizhou, we have no chance to defend it. Jizhou is completely like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon them if they are tasteless."

Although Yuan Shao is arrogant, He was unwilling to bow his head, but Ju Shou said that the combat effectiveness of Liu Feng's troops was much stronger than his own. After all, the reality was there. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could not refute it.

When Jushu saw that Yuan Shao acquiesced to his statement, he asked:"My lord, what do you think of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou?"

Yuan Shao said:"Although Cao Jili attacked Xuzhou in name to avenge his father, but But I know that he must have taken a fancy to the wealth of Xuzhou and wanted to bring Xuzhou under his command.

He can hide this little trick from others, but he can't even try to deceive me."

Jushou listened to Yuan Shao's words and said with a smile. :"It is indeed wise for my lord to see this.

However, my subordinates believe that Cao Cao is so determined to attack Xuzhou crazily. In addition to the wealth of Xuzhou, there is another more important reason."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned and asked:" Oh? Tell me what the reason is." Jushou said

:"Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. In addition to its pleasant climate and rich products, more importantly, its geographical location is very important.

Xuzhou Nanlian Yangzhou is connected to Qingzhou in the north, Bohai Sea in the east, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the west. Cao Cao tried so hard to capture Xuzhou because he must want to develop to the south. The river system of Yangzhou in the south is crisscrossed, and the natural barrier of the Yangtze River can block the north. If Liu Feng wants to go south to attack the army, Xuzhou is the place he must pass through.

Therefore, Cao Cao must want to use the land of Xuzhou to go south to seize Yangzhou with Sun Jian to accumulate his own power in order to finally fight for the world.

And Sun Jian must have guessed that Cao Cao That's why he put aside his hatred with Liu Biao and concentrated his forces to unify Yangzhou.

In this case, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others were concentrated in the south, while only Liu Feng and us were left in the north.

Now. It is said that Cao Cao has withdrawn all his direct descendants from Qingzhou and is preparing to attack Yangzhou with all his strength, so it will no longer be difficult for Liu Feng to unify Qingzhou.

And when Liu Feng takes the entire Qingzhou into his pocket, the entire north will not only be far away but also Apart from the desolate and barren Liangzhou and Bingzhou, only Jizhou will be left.

So he will definitely fight with our army with all his strength.

Presumably Cao Cao also had this idea in evacuating Qingzhou. I hope we can slow down Liu Feng and give him enough He needs time to develop his own power."

After hearing what Jushou said, Yuan Shao was shocked and said angrily:"Cao Jili, a treacherous villain, actually tried to let me, Yuan Shaolai, act as a shield for him.

In this case, we will give up. Jizhou is implemented in accordance with Gongyu's plan.

It's just that Gongyu said that he wanted to develop in the Sili area, but Luoyang has long been changed beyond recognition after Dong Zhuo's fire, and it is still extremely depressed. Can we have good development if we go there?"

Jushou said Seeing Yuan Shao's doubts, he explained:"Although Sizhou's economic situation is not very good for the time being, it can still be used as a place with a little governance.

In addition, the lord can send soldiers to garrison in Sizhou, store grain and grass, and use Hulao Pass to The danger of Hangu Pass is enough to last for a long time even if foreign enemies invade.

In addition, the lord can also send troops to attack Yanzhou. Since Cao Cao has moved to the south, Yanzhou's defense will not be very strong. Taking Yanzhou can echo Sizhou and report at the same time. Cao Cao uses us as a shield for his hatred.

In addition, he also asked the lord to form an alliance with the later general Yuan Shu and join forces to control Yuzhou."

Yuan Shao began to listen to Jushu's suggestion and kept nodding, but in the end he heard that he and Yuan Shu Joining forces, he couldn't help but say:"Why join forces with Yuan Shu to capture Yuzhou?

Our army is strong, and we have super generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, plus Zhang He, Gao Lan, Qu Yi and others. You Gong is planning with you, Yuan Hao and others. Isn't Yuzhou easily captured?

Jushou shook his head and said,"My lord, now is not the time to settle personal scores."

Now that the world is in chaos, Cao Cao and Sun Jian have been prepared for it, and Liu Feng is extremely powerful. Our army has lost the upper hand. If we fight alone, we will be extremely passive.

And since Yuan Shu is the brother of the lord and jointly represents the interests of the Yuan family, your alliance can maintain peace for a long time.

Otherwise, Yuan Shu will be wiped out by the various princes in a short time. At that time, only the lord will be left in the Yuan family, and it is very likely that he will be wiped out in the chaos of the princes."

Yuan Shao listened to Ju Shou's words and thought for a long time.

I don't know whether it was because of the strong pressure brought by Liu Feng, but Yuan Shao actually listened to Ju Shou's suggestion.

Then he issued an order, sending Yan Liang to lead an army of 50,000, with Tian Feng and Xu You as the The military adviser attacked Yanzhou.

He personally led Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Jushou and others and an army of 50,000 to attack Sili Henei County.

In the end, Zhang He, Shenpei and others were left to guard Jizhou, holding back Zhao Yun and King Bingjian.

Although Yuan Shao's orders were very covert, but Longcheng Newspaper also had a large number of spies in Jizhou. Once his generals were mobilized, they would definitely not be able to hide these spies.

So Liu Feng quickly learned about Yuan Shao's movements and guessed that Yuan Shaoji It was possible that he was preparing to move his focus westward and strategically abandon Jizhou. So he immediately sent an order to Zhao Yun to launch a fierce attack on Jizhou.

After receiving the order, Zhao Yun immediately led the white horse Yi Cong and tens of thousands of Youzhou troops south to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom in Jizhou.

For Zhen Yi, who Liu Feng was responsible for the operation of various Longcheng newspapers, was from Zhongshan, so he provided great help to Zhao Yun. After the two secretly agreed, Zhen Yi sent his own dead soldiers to secretly kill the city gate soldiers at night and opened the door. City gate.

So Zhao Yun led his army to capture Zhongshan Kingdom with lightning speed and marched towards Panhe.

After Zhang He, who stayed in Jizhou, received the news, he also went to Panhe and started a battle with Zhao Yun.
