In February, in the spring-filled land of Hebei, the atmosphere became tense again.
The flames of war are about to revive in this warmth.
The originally sunny sky was inevitably clouded.
The news that Ke Bineng, Fu Luohan and the 200,000 Xianbei army were all killed finally reached Xianbei in the east.
Lord Suli of Xianbei, together with the leaders of eastern Xianbei, immediately raised troops to attack the central part.
The intention is very obvious, taking the opportunity to annex Kebineng and Fuluohan's troops, and recreate the unification of Xianbei.
Su Li, who originally didn't have much ambition, suddenly expanded rapidly under the stimulation of Xianbei Chanyu's position.
One hundred thousand troops came to Xianbei in central China. They thought it was an unsuspecting annexation, but who would have thought that they would be severely beaten!
Bu Dugen, who returned from Xiaoguan, relied on the identity of Tanshihuai's descendants and Fuluohan's younger brother to quickly integrate the western Xianbei.
Everything also benefited from the convenience of the elite, and the western Xianbei was like a piece of loose sand.
After integrating the western part, Bu Dugen immediately led all the elites to attack Xianbei in the central part of the country.
After explaining his interests and concerns, Bu Dugen made repeated guarantees and finally won the support of Xianbei in the central region.
However, the casualties of 200,000 elites have already seriously damaged the vitality of the Xianbei in the central and western regions!
Bu Dugen integrated the power of the two parts and was able to gather 50,000 string control people.
Fortunately, you can calculate with your mind but not with care, and you can be prepared to attack without any preparation.
Bu Dugen had long expected that Suli was ambitious and would not miss such a good opportunity, so he always paid attention to the movements of Xianbei in the east.
Just when Suli led an army of 100,000 from eastern Xianbei to central Xianbei, Bu Dugen ambushed everyone and caught Suli off guard.
But after all, it was a makeshift army, which was small in number and far smaller than the eastern Xianbei in Suli.
In the end, Suli lost more than 20,000 people, and Budugen also lost thousands of people.
In this internal war in Xianbei, no one could achieve full success, and no one would give up.
Both Bu Dugen and Su Li were keenly aware that this was a great opportunity to unify Xianbei.
As a result, the two became more persistent and completely fell into a stalemate stage of confrontation.
Thanks to the great opportunity of Xianbei's civil strife, Yuan Shao mobilized troops and generals one after another. Most of the elite soldiers and horses in Youzhou County and border guards were dispatched to Nanpi.
Guo Tu did not deceive Liu Zhang. Nanpi really had an army of 150,000.
Among them, 70,000 people were guarding the border in Youzhou, and another 30,000 people were squeezed out of Yuan Shao's territory.
After the civil strife in Xianbei, it was not only beneficial to Yuan Shao's border, but also beneficial to Yuan Shao's borrowing troops from Wuhuan.
The leader of Wuhuan, Tadun, was very close to Yuan Shao. He often sent troops to help Yuan Shao when he was against his enemy Gongsun Zan.
This time was no exception. Tadun personally led 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry to Nanpi, preparing to help Yuan Shao regain the city.
In addition, Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan also gathered 50,000 Bingzhou soldiers at Huguan at Huguan, which was close to Wei County in Jizhou.
Huguan is located in Shangdang County, close to Wei County in Jizhou where Cao Cao lived temporarily.
Once a war breaks out between the two sides, Huguan can go straight east and attack Yecheng.
Bohai County, Nanpi County, temporary general's mansion.
Since Yuan Shao was defeated in Nanpi, he changed the former county governor's mansion into a temporary general's mansion.
The reason why it was not set up as a general's residence was because he wanted to counterattack Yecheng one day.
After several months of nursing, Yuan Shao's body has recovered.
However, as he grew older and experienced several major blows, Yuan Shao's health was no longer what it used to be.
This time, they mobilized their military power again, and finally made up their minds to mobilize all the power of the Yuan family in Hebei.
This battle is the decisive battle and the final battle!
If you win, you will not only regain the lost territory, but you can also cross the Yellow River in one go and completely defeat Cao Cao.
Defeated and without the strength to resist anymore, Yuan Shao's life is in danger, and the Yuan family can be declared destroyed.
This is not only a battle about the ownership of the world, but also a battle about the survival of Yuan Shao and the Yuan family.
In the temporary general's palace, Yuan Shao was sitting on the throne, with Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang standing aside.
Although one of the four subordinates under his command died and surrendered, there were still generals such as Qianzhao, Jiaochu, Wangmen, Zhang Nan, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang brothers.
In terms of civil servants, there are brothers Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Chen Lin, and Xin Ping and Xin Pi.
After experiencing two major defeats and losing troops and generals, Yuan Shao's lineup was still luxurious, and his subordinates gathered the second- and third-rate advisers and generals in the world.
There were no empty seats in the general's palace, which gave Yuan Shao extra confidence.
"Everyone, it is said that starting from the end of the year, Cao Cao will begin to deploy troops and generals on a large scale."
"After Liu Bei's defeat from Runan, there is no pressure on Cao's traitors from behind. Currently, there are no less than 100,000 Cao troops in Hebei!"
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, there was a burst of whispers.
In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000, but was defeated by Cao Cao, who had only 20,000 troops.
In the battle of Cangting, Yuan Shao once again defeated Cao Cao's army of 50,000 troops with 150,000 elite troops.
Cao Cao seems to be Yuan Shao's nemesis, he can always defeat the many with less, and defeat the strong with the weak!
Now Cao Cao leads an army of more than 100,000 people. How can he defeat it?
"My lord, Cao Cao has won many battles, his troops are at the forefront, and his morale is strong!"
"It's better to avoid its edge temporarily and wait for the time to change!"
As soon as Shen Pei said this, he was immediately met with Feng Ji's rebuttal.
"My lord, please don't listen to such pedantic words!"
"Before the Battle of Guandu, if it hadn't been for Tian Feng and Ju Shou not letting the lord mobilize more troops, why would he have been defeated by Cao Cao?"
"Now Cao Cao is strong and we are weak. If we can't win the battle quickly, we won't even be able to supply food and grass for the soldiers and horses under his command!"
"Besides, Tadun personally led an army of 50,000 Wuhuan troops to come to our aid, in order to help us fight against Cao's thieves!"
"If we don't fight, Tadun will definitely not come to help easily in the future!"
Fengji's words quickly gained support from everyone.
Since losing Wei County in Jizhou and the entire Qingzhou, food and grass, which Yuan Jun had never worried about before, has become the biggest problem.
With the current strength of the General's Office, it is completely unable to provide logistical supplies for more than 100,000 people.
Therefore, the later the war starts, the greater the pressure on the General's Office.
If it is delayed for one or two years, I am afraid there will be no way to form this kind of force for confrontation.
However, sending troops was a serious matter, and no one dared to express their attitude without permission.
It's easy to start a war, but how do you deal with it once you lose?
Just when the atmosphere in the room was tense, the third young master Yuan Shang stood up.
"Father, uncles, you need to be clear about something."
"The traitor Cao mobilized his troops and generals on a large scale, and his intention is obvious!"
"At this time, it is no longer whether we want to go to war with Cao Cao, but the Cao thieves simply cannot tolerate our Yuan family!"
How could the eldest son Yuan Tan allow Yuan Shang to show off here, so he quickly stood up.
"What the third brother said is absolutely true! If we don't fight at this time, the morale of the people will surely further decline!"
"Father, I would like to ask you to personally lead the army to fight Cao Cao!"
