After entering the tent, Chen Feng found that Cao Cao had quite a lot of counselors. Guo Jiaxun, Xunyou, Chengyu, Liu Ye, etc. were all first-rate counselors with an intelligence of 90. Guo Jiaxun, Xunyou, Chengyu, etc. Still superb! The lineup is nothing short of gorgeous.
On the other hand, Chen Feng only brought two people, Yan Xiang and Chen Deng, both of whom were second-rate counselors with an intelligence of over 80 and a bit of a stretch.
But Chen Feng remained calm and calm, and his own momentum did not fall behind at all. He thought to himself: If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, and the other party doesn't know the information about our characters.
People often speak ill of familiar people because they know them too well, but they respect strangers very much because they know little about them. Therefore, as long as they continue to remain calm, calm and mysterious, they will pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
"Yuan Shao's army is huge. Although General Chen has mobilized the army in Jiaozhou, it will be difficult to reach it for a while. There is still a big gap between us and Yuan Shao..."
"The three important cities of Yuanwu, Yangwu and Fengqiu on the north bank of the Yellow River were captured and garrisoned by Yuan Shao. They faced our Guandu across the river on three sides..."
In the tent, the counselors began to analyze and review, but the ones who spoke were all counselors from Cao Cao's side. Yan Xiang and Chen Deng from Chen Feng's side had not said a word since they entered the door until now.
Chen Feng: "......"
This is actually no wonder for the two of them. Before Yan Xiang joined Chen Feng, he was Yuan Shu's chief clerk. When he followed Yuan Shu, he only fought in small battles. The largest number of people he fought in a battle was less than 50,000.
Before Chen Deng and Chen Feng, he was Tao Qian's chief clerk. He had never directed a war, let alone a war.
So these two people are following Chen Feng for the first time to go on an expedition. It is a big scene where the total number of soldiers and horses on both sides is two to three hundred thousand. They have no idea at all. They don't want to get merit even if they can't get any advice. But those who wanted to do nothing wrong first listened to the speeches of the friendly forces on the opposite side and absorbed the experience without saying anything.
The resulting scene was that the counselors on Cao Cao's side kept talking, while the silence on Chen Feng's side was deafening.
"Cough~cough." Chen Feng coughed. Since his teammates were unreliable, he had no choice but to join the discussion himself: "With such a huge army going on an expedition, food and grass logistics may be a breakthrough..."
"logistics……"
Next, Cao Cao's advisers began to think of good strategies for Yuan Shaojun's food and fodder logistics...
at the same time
Qingzhou
North Sea
On Chen Feng's orders, Lu Bu led 10,000 Xuzhou troops to attack Qingzhou and fought against Yuan Tan in Beihai County.
Yuan Shao had a total of more than 300,000 troops. Guandu used 200,000 troops, and his eldest son Yuan Tan in Qingzhou still had 20,000 infantrymen left behind.
Yuan Tan was not ignorant. He knew Lu Bujun's intention. He wanted to invade Qingzhou and force his father Yuan Shao to divide his troops on the Guandu side, so he simply refused to hold on and asked the army to be more vigilant. He thought that as long as he could hold on, his father's side would be strong. No need to be distracted.
Lu Bu also had a headache when he saw that Yuan Tan was unable to retreat. In this period of cold weapons, fortified battles can be said to be the most difficult to fight. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Ten times to encircle an enemy, five times to attack it, and five times to divide it.
It is said that if the number of soldiers in our own army is ten times that of the enemy, we can directly encircle and annihilate them; if our number is five times that of the enemy's force, we can attack them head-on; if our number is twice that of the enemy's force, we must try to disperse them and defeat them one by one.
But Lu Bu only had 10,000 troops, and Yuan Tan had 20,000. They were still defending the city. How could they fight? Make a furry ball.
Lu Bu thought for a long time but couldn't think of a good way, so he had to ask the generals: "Yuan Tanwo can't defend, do you have any good ideas?"
In response, Eagle Eye Colonel Tai Shici said: "General, I have a way."
"Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Zi Yi, please tell me, what can we do?"
Taishi Ci said: "I once served as the captain of Beihai, and I don't know much about Beihai County. Although Yuan Tan occupied Beihai, many people in Beihai did not accept his governance.
The general only needs to have people write out a large number of "letters of surrender", tie them to arrows, and let the soldiers shoot them into the city. I believe that a large number of Beihai nobles and people will be willing to surrender to us.
By then, people in Beihai County will be in panic. If the general cooperates with the people in the city, Yuan Tan will be defeated. "
"OK!"
Lu Bu immediately followed Tai Shici's method and found a group of scribes to write letters of surrender, and then asked his soldiers to shoot these letters into various cities in Beihai.
Within a few days, as Tai Shici said, there was great chaos in Beihai County. Even many generals in Yuan Tan's army who had returned from Beihai rebelled against Yuan Tan and offered their city to Lu Bu.
Yuan Tan was so frightened that he had to withdraw from Beihai with his remaining several thousand relatives troops and retreated to Qi State (county) in the west of Beihai to defend.
Lu Bu took over Qingzhou Beihai County without any effort...
Yanzhou
Guandu North Yellow River North Bank
Yuan Jun's Station
After Yuan Shao learned that Qingzhou Beihai had been lost, he wanted to immediately send 20,000 people under Zhang He to support Qingzhou.
Jushou, the supervisor of Yuan Shao's tent, tried to dissuade him and said: "My lord, the land of Qingzhou has been subject to wars. It was first ruled by Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan, and then returned to my lord. Now Chen Feng has intervened, and the situation is already in chaos.
It is difficult for the people of Qingzhou to truly surrender to the lord for a while. If the lord divides his troops to support Qingzhou at this time, not only will it be difficult to regain Qingzhou in a short time, but it will also greatly affect the future trend of Guandu.
If you want to break off, you will inevitably suffer chaos. Now Guandu is the top priority. I suggest that the lord temporarily abandon Qingzhou and let the eldest son directly withdraw to Pingyuan County where the people are attached to garrison. No matter how brave Lu Bu is, he can't have more than ten thousand troops. It was difficult to capture Pingyuan County.
The lord only needs to concentrate on the Guandu war, and the Cao-Chen coalition will have no loopholes to take advantage of. They will be defeated soon, and Qingzhou's crisis will be resolved by then. "
Yuan Shao felt that what Ju Shou said was reasonable and was about to agree.
At this time, another counselor of Yuan Shao, Xu You, voted against: "My lord, I think it is inappropriate. Behind Pingyuan County is Jizhou. Although Lu Bu only has ten thousand people, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Once Pingyuan County is lost, there will be no danger for Jizhou to defend our rear. Lu Bu's army will be able to move forward unimpeded like a fish entering the sea. Jizhou is in danger.
To be on the safe side, I suggest that my lord should let General Zhang He go to support the eldest son and defend Qingzhou. "
When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt that what Xu You said made sense. (It does make some sense)
"Lord..."
"Lord..."
Immediately afterwards, Tian Feng and Guo Tu also made suggestions to Yuan Shao one after another, and they were different from what Ju Shou and Xu You said. They were the third and fourth plans.
This time Yuan Shao's hesitant character showed up, and he didn't know who to listen to.
This seems to be a simple matter, but Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time and still didn't make a decision...
