"In this way, after I reach Xuchang, win the emperor's title, and then settle in the land of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, the land in the north will naturally belong to me, Yuan Shao!"

Having said that, Yuan Shao straightened his back. Such a decision was his only chance to win now, and he could only fight quickly!

If we can take this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao in Guandu, this battle can also affect the entire war situation.

By that time, even if Xiyu continues to have prestige in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, he will eventually be deeply affected by the fact that Emperor Xuchang was captured by Yuan Shao.

"My lord...my lord is wise!"

Hearing Yuan Shao's strategy, Xu You was very happy and smiled all over his face.

He had long known that Yuan Shaoding would be able to figure these things out: the current war should not be prolonged.

Regardless of whether the domestic development speed can be faster than that of Xi Yu and Cao Cao, the struggle between the noble families within the Yuan Shao Group alone is far greater than that of Xuzhou.

If the fighting within the group continues for a long time, it will only make the internal people dispersed and make it difficult to unanimously respond to the outside world. At that time, how can Jizhou, which is in constant civil strife, drag down Cao's army, which is peaceful and united internally?

Furthermore, the money in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou can be used to increase at least tens of thousands of new soldiers every year, and then train them into strong soldiers. They only need to go to the battlefield once to grow into experienced veterans.

If things go on like this, this source of troops is also where Yuan Shao cannot compare with Cao Cao.

Therefore, in the opinion of Xu You and Yuan Shao, a quick war is the best strategy for the current plan.

"Lord, this is very good."

Xu You's face was full of satisfaction. He bowed deeply to Yuan Shao and said in his heart: My lord, I, Xu You, have indeed followed the wrong person. Regardless of victory or defeat, I can at least have a vigorous battle with Cao Jun.

Today, the food and grass for Yuan Shao's troops and horses are stored in Wuchao, and thousands of soldiers are stationed here. Even if Yuan Shao loses the decisive battle to Cao Cao, at least the money and food are still there, and he still has the day to make a comeback.

Therefore, the money and food in Wuchao are now the lifeblood of Yuan Shaofang and cannot be lost.

…

Yuan Shao had just made up his mind to fight Cao Cao quickly, and Cao Cao's camp also ushered in new changes.

At midnight, Cao Cao was woken up.

"My lord, Lord Jiwu, the military advisor general Xi Yuxi have personally arrived with three hundred troops, and the fierce general Dian Wei has also arrived."

Everyone in Cao's army knew that Dian Wei was capable of carrying a cauldron, and his fighting prowess was not inferior to that of Xu Chu. The arrival of such a fierce general made Cao's army excited.

Xu Huang, Li Dian, Yu Jin and other generals suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Liang killed several generals before, which made Cao's generals feel even more pressure.

At this time, Cao Cao came out from the camp and saw Xi Yu, whom he had not seen for a long time. Cao Cao smiled. After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Cao Cao welcomed Xi Yu into the military tent.

Cao Cao ordered people to bring good wine and food, beef with soy sauce, a big basin of rice, and fruits.

Xi Yu and Dian Wei, who had been traveling day and night, were already starving. They immediately started gobbling up their food and eating like crazy. Lu Lingqi was so shocked that she pretended not to recognize them.

Cao Cao suddenly noticed Lu Lingqi and thought it was the female attendant brought by Xi Yu, or perhaps the concubine of Xin Na.

However, after Cao Cao took a second look, he found that the woman was wearing feathers and her facial features were very similar to Lu Bu's. Cao Cao immediately had a guess in his mind.

After capturing Lu Bu's city, Cao Cao left the aftermath to Xi Yu, and he rushed back to Yanzhou, so he didn't know much about what happened next.

But at this moment, Cao Cao saw that Lu Lingqi looked the same as Lu Bu, and her whole body was even more heroic. In this way, she could be considered a powerful general?

But after all, Lu Lingqi is a daughter. If she appears among many male generals, is this appropriate?

"My Lord, you seem worried?" Xi Yu suddenly looked at Cao Cao and asked.

"No, Fengyi, I'm not worried about the war. It's just that now Jingzhou in the south is eager to try, and Li Jue in the west is also testing Zhong Yao. If these two places can't be controlled, I'm afraid I will be attacked from all sides. I'm just thinking about how I can accomplish my goal.

In one battle."

"The war now is very dangerous."

"However, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the fierce generals of Hebei, especially Yan Liang, killed several of our soldiers in front of our formation, which caused the morale of our soldiers to be low."

Cao Cao glanced at Xu Chu before continuing, "Feng Yi is unaware of this. Just recently, Xu Chu went to fight Yan Liang, but was injured by Yan Liang's trick and was almost killed."

Hearing this, Xu Chu blushed for a while, but he didn't dare to show off too much in front of Xi Yu, so he could only smile shyly.

"Brother, don't worry, Yan Liang will definitely be unbeatable tomorrow." Xi Yu said confidently.

Xi Yu also wants to end this war quickly.

He is very clear about the thoughts of the nobles in Jizhou. As long as Yuan Shao wins, these nobles will naturally support Yuan Shao, and the various places in Jizhou will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

But if Yuan Shao loses in this battle, then most of the nobles in Jizhou will inevitably withdraw their support for Yuan Shao. By then, Yuan Shao will be torn into pieces and rebellions will continue. If rumors spread again, Yuan Shao may have difficulty suppressing it, let alone rise.

thing.

As for Cao Jun, if he wins this battle, General Yuan Tanding in the plains will be disturbed and may be at odds with Ju Yi. In this way, Zilong will have an opportunity to take advantage of the plains.

Nowadays, the war is very difficult for Cao Cao, but the key is to get rid of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Xi Yu is very clear in his heart: if the second master Guan is not there, no one can cut off Yan Liang's head in the battle.

In this case, he could only do it himself.

At this moment, Cao Cao heard Xi Yu's words and suddenly asked, "What do you mean by Fengyi's words? Maybe you have a clever plan. If so, tell me quickly and we can discuss it."

Xi Yu then took out a map from his arms, but at first glance, the map was already a few years old.

Xi Yu immediately unfolded the map. He pointed on the map and walked around the mountain, and then followed a small path out. Then he could get close to the hinterland of Yuan Shao's military camp. Excluding Liyang City, there was a place for grain storage in the mountains.

"Brother, this place is called Wuchao." Xi Yu pointed to a place and said to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao saw the route clearly, he asked Xi Yu, "Fengyi, when did you draw this map?"

"Three years ago." Xi Yu replied truthfully.

"What do you mean? We had this map three years ago?" Cao Cao said in disbelief, "When did you draw it three years ago?"

"Three years ago, during the winter disaster." Xi Yu replied.
