Ju Su was very embarrassed. Tian Feng was joking, and he still couldn't bear the weight of criticism. However, Tian Feng was old and had always been like this. Criticism was also a fact, so he could only laugh and admit his mistakes. After reading the records for a while, Ju Su carefully put the manuscript away and sat opposite Tian Feng.

"Brother Yuan Hao, Yu Zhang has changed hands, Qingzhou is in danger, what are your opinions?"

Tian Feng twisted his fingers and looked at the figures coming and going outside the tent, and was stunned for a moment. Ju Su didn't dare to disturb him, so he waited patiently for a while. Tian Feng suddenly said, "Mr., how many have you seen Guo Tu?"

Ju Su thought for a while. "It's been two months. The last time I saw him was at the meeting in Yecheng."

"He disappeared for a few days every now and then, but it has never been so long. What has he been doing in the past two months?"

Ju Su was confused. Guo Tu was Yuan Shao's confidant and had many confidential matters to deal with, which were not something they could ask about. Tian Feng was upright, but he was not ignorant of the general idea. He suddenly cared about Guo Tu's fortune, so he naturally didn't ask casually.

What does he want to say?

"Mr., before the lord summoned us to discuss the current situation, I had already discussed with the lord." Tian Feng said the story and mentioned his suggestions in detail. Among the scholars in Hebei, he and Ju Su were people who could speak in front of Yuan Shao. Ju Su was young, capable, had a good temper, and were even more trusted by Yuan Shao. If he could get Ju Su's support, his suggestions were more likely to be implemented. "The lord originally agreed with my suggestions, but he changed his mind in less than half an hour and had a vague intention of using troops to Qingzhou. I think this matter should be related to Guo Tu."

Ju Su twisted his beard and pondered for a long time. He couldn't figure out what Guo Tu would say to Yuan Shao, but he felt that the focus was not on this. "Brother Yuan Hao, the current situation suddenly changed. Sun Ce stabilized the rear and could do his best to manage the Yanzhou defense line, and even advance the war to Qingzhou. If you don't make sufficient preparations and deploy troops, Qingzhou may be lost. Are we..."

"Do you think Yuan Xianyi can stop Taishici?"

Ju Su was speechless. "This..."

"Taishi Ci followed Liu Yao into Yangzhou and fought with Sun Ce. After surrendering to Sun Ce, he took one of them in just half a year and went deep into Mount Tai, blocking Yuan Xianyi's plan to attack Qingxu. He led his troops to Yanzhou and defeated Cheng Yu. With this battle alone, we can see that this person is not an ordinary person, and Yuan Xianyi is definitely not an opponent. With Yuan Xiansi in front of him, it is impossible for the lord to be careless. Will he hand over this opportunity to Shen Zhengnan?"

Ju Su shook his head. He understood what Tian Feng meant. Yuan Shao himself had to do his best to deal with Gongsun Zan. Seizing Youzhou was the top priority at present. If Sun Ce sent troops to Qingzhou, who would deal with it? Yuan Xi was not capable enough, and besides that, only Shen Pei had this qualification and ability. However, Yuan Shao had a clear mind about Shilin in Jizhou, and he was unlikely to give Shen Pei the opportunity to fight independently.

Although Shen Pei nominally commanded the Jizhou army, he never got the opportunity to fight independently. So far, Shen Pei has always been in the rear, and even when he went on the expedition, he would follow Yuan Shao. The reason is very simple. He has mastered the elite of the Jizhou army. He must make contributions when going on the expedition, and he must reward him if he made contributions. He is already a senior general second only to Yuan Shao. How can he reward him?

"Didn't it say... Guo Tu went to Youzhou?"

Tian Feng shook his head. "It's possible, but it may also be that he went to Luoyang."

"What do you mean is that the lord intends to let Huang Wan attack Junyi?" Ju Su's heart became tight and suddenly became nervous. Huang Wan is in Luoyang. If Guo Tu really went to Luoyang, it would be not as simple as reporting the news. It should be a major action to discuss, so Guo Tu needed to take a trip in person. What major action can Luoyang take? Attack Nanyang, or attack Junyi? Or let Huang Wan defeat the black bandits in Hanoi and relieve Yuan Shao's worries?

"Jizhou is attacked from all sides, so it is better to choose the key points first, and not attack from all sides. Even Qingzhou should be the main focus. Tian Kai is as anxious as a dog who has lost his family. If the lord can surrender and Qu Zhi, perhaps an envoy can take Qingzhou, why bother to fight? Even if Sun Ce enters Qingzhou, we can only defend Jinan and plains, and we can stop him from invading Jizhou and concentrate manpower and material resources to take Youzhou first. If we are in a state of war and fight lightly, it is not a good idea."

Ju Su sighed softly. He supported Tian Feng's view. He could not attack everywhere at this time. He should defend the south and attack the north and take Youzhou first. However, the Ruying people have always been unwilling to accept Yuan Tan's failure, so how could they be willing to watch the Hebei people make contributions.

Unless Shen Pei is willing to give up some of the military power.

As soon as this thought came, Ju Su subconsciously shook his head. This was simply impossible. Shen Pei waited for so long and finally waited for this opportunity. How could he give Ruying people a chance to make a comeback?

"It's hard." Ju Su sighed faintly.

Tian Feng glanced at him, but he wanted to speak but stopped. He was silent for a long time and sighed.

Zhen Yan rushed to Yuan Shao's camp. Guo Tu personally went out to greet him and led Zhen Yan to Yuan Shao.

Zhen Yan originally had three brothers, but his elder brother Zhen Yu died early, so he became the head of the Zhen family. He was just over thirty years old, with a face as big as jade, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a short beard on his lips, which was black and bright, and looked very energetic. There was no powder on his face, but his clothes should have been fragrant, and the fragrance was not strong, but it was the fragrance that Yuan Shao liked.

Yuan Shao had a very good first impression of Zhen Yan. Both Yuan Tan’s brothers looked good, but they were still slightly inferior to Zhen Yan. Guo Tu said that Zhen Yan’s sisters were of good looks, which seemed to be true.

Guo Tu was secretly happy when he saw Yuan Shao's expression. He knew that Yuan Shao paid attention to appearance and especially his first impression, so he took care of Zhen Yan to dress up. After so many years with Yuan Shao, he knew Yuan Shao's likes and dislikes. Zhen Yan dressed up as he told him, and it would never be bad.

"I didn't expect there was such a young man in Zhongshan." Yuan Shao smiled and reached out to signal Zhen Yan to take his seat.

Zhen Yan bowed his hand, but was not in a hurry to take a seat, and pointed his hand at the few followers outside the tent. "Lord, please allow me to introduce you to a few warriors."

Yuan Shao was a little surprised, but when he glanced at him, he saw that these people were tall and powerful, not like ordinary warriors, so he didn't say anything. Zhen Yan introduced them one by one, these were his generals, the newly recruited infantry and cavalry commanders, and a Wuhuan native. Yuan Shao was surprised and happy when he heard this. He heard Zhen Yan's meaning, he brought a lot of people.

"Zhongsheng, why are there Wuhuan warriors?"

Zhen Yan said seriously: "The lord doesn't know anything. When he learned that I would serve the lord, the elders of Zhongshan responded to him, and even the Wuhuan people from Dai County rushed over. They were grateful for the kindness of Yuan, admired the lord's benevolence and righteousness, and were also unfair for the death of Liu Envoy, and were willing to follow the lord and avenge Liu Envoy."

Yuan Shao felt unspeakable, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but sighed lightly: "Jun Liu was unparalleled and righteous, Gongsun Zan did things against him, and the sky sweared at him. Even though I was not talented, I should deal with Gongsun Zan to the end and never stop."

Zhen Yan and others bowed in unison.

Yuan Shao was satisfied and laughed happily.
