To be honest, Yuan Shao is not a real fool.

Chen Gui's so-called strategy was a foolish move. Can't Yuan Shao see it? But the land of Hebei is full of endless plains. The court took the two states of Qing Dynasty in this battle and surrounded Jizhou on three sides. Once he retreated, he would definitely not be able to attack. If he defended, where would he defend?

In just three years and two years, the court recovered its vitality, and the three armies advanced together, and he was still not sure!

What Ju Su said seemed to be the most secure and mature statement, but it really can only protect the stability of Hebei, Yuan Shao, and even more so, Zhao Ting.

So in Yuan Shao's opinion, returning to the army at this time was purely a way to die. He could not defend himself for three years. Where did he get the chance to make a comeback? No matter how he thought, it was unlikely that Cao Cao and the emperor could not stand it for even three years and then he would have had an internal strife.

Therefore, he would rather adopt Xun Chen's plan to fight Cao Cao to the death, than adopt Ju Su's advice to return to the court. It would be better than a ten-death death. Yuan Shao's mind was still very clear.

What he said was actually to be the one who wanted to fight Cao Cao in a desperate situation? Or was it true as Chen Gui said, ceding You, joining the two states, leading Wuhuan and Xianbei to the south?

To be honest, the odds of winning are not high, but Wuhuan's repelling Liu Xie is indeed more reliable than the one who destroyed Cao Cao within two months.

At the bottom of the matter, the high-ranking officials fought on the Western Front so badly. They obviously had several times the advantage of military strength than the Han Dynasty, and Bingzhou was obviously a place where mountains and rivers were dangerous and cages were easy to defend and difficult to attack! Why was this lost so quickly?

Not to mention the army of 200,000, even if the old ladies of 200,000 will never be able to lose so quickly!

"The orphan's order is passed on to let Zhang He come to see me."

After all, Yuan Shao has a little conscience. Or, let’s try it, what if he breaks the Cao army’s camp?

After a while, Zhang He arrived and bowed to Yuan Shao in a regular manner, but Yuan Shao rushed up and stopped him. Then he hugged Zhang He and cried out a few tears in a state of emotion, and then took his hand to sit in his seat.

"Junyi, Junyi, the situation is now at a critical moment, and it's up to you!"

"King."

"You'd better call me lord."

"Lord, I have also heard of the Emperor's army leading an army to attack Yecheng. I guarantee that I will protect my lord and fight back with my life."

"Is it useful to kill back? For the sake of the present plan, only by doing the opposite and killing Cao's camp is the way out! I want to take Junyi as the vanguard, and I personally serve as your central army. Our soldiers are several times more than the enemy, and they attack in turn day and night. Can't they be defeated?"

"this……"

"Junyi! The success or failure of a country is at stake, life and death are all dependent on you! Could it be that Junyi still fears difficulties?"

Seeing this, Zhang He had no choice but to sigh deeply and said, "He, you can only do your best."

"good!!"

Yuan Shao immediately removed his king's sword and gave it to Zhang He, saying, "I don't know the way of fighting formation, so I will entrust my entire army and even the whole country to the death. I will be below the self-isolation. If anyone does not obey Junyi's orders, Junyi can be punished without guilt!"

"this……"

Not only did Zhang He not have any joy on his face, but he was embarrassed on his face.

This is not a good sign!

You should know that Zhang He is not a general of Yuan Shaoxinzhong's team. On the contrary, he was originally a member of Han Fu, and he could even be said to be an armed force with a certain degree of independence in Hebei. His background and situation are actually quite similar to Qu Yi.

How can such a great trust not remind people of the general Tuo Yi, who was also a general who was the judge of Han Fu and once turned the tide and made great contributions to Yuan Shao?

It can be said that Yuan Shao’s current status is 40% due to his family affairs from the three ministers of the four generations. The remaining 60% can be said to be the credit of Qu Yi, but what is Qu Yi now? (Qu Yi’s contribution is not just the Battle of Jieqiao. Almost all the key battles of Yuan Shao were fought by him)

Yuan Shao knew his worries only when he saw Zhang He's expression change, and immediately said, "I know you have concerns. We don't tell lies in front of us. At this time, if we can defeat Cao's camp, Junyi, you will be a well-deserved mastermind. I swear by Zhangshui that if you win, you will never let the general down in this life!"

After saying that, Yuan Shao immediately cut his palm with the sword in his hand, and in front of many civil and military officials, he held Zhang He's finger and swore: "The lonely Yuan Shao swears in the Zhangshui that if I, Yuan Benchu, still have a future, even if Junyi loses me in the future, I will never let him down. If I violate this oath, I will use the thunder to blow the sky, and my descendants will not die well!"

After saying that, he held Zhang He with his bloody big hand and said, "Junyi! I can only trust you now!"

What else can Zhang He say? To be honest, he didn't even believe Yuan Shao's words, but since Yuan Shao's attitude was already so low, would he still have to choose?

"Don't say such words again, He, fight to the death."

But he only dared to fight to the death, and did not dare to make a fool of himself.

How could Cao Cao’s camp be so easy to attack?

Yuan Shao was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he had to do so. He did not trust Zhang He and knew that Zhang He would not trust him too much. However, except for Zhang He, he really had no one to trust.

If it’s not up to Zhang He, is it up to those boastful aides?

Immediately, Zhang He, who took over the so-called king's sword, began to consolidate his army. He just came to Cao Cao's Guandu camp. Seeing the ten levels of deer antlers outside the camp, the strong bows and crossbows set up high in the camp, and the Cao army's strict and rigorous sting, Zhang He couldn't help but sigh for his destiny in his heart.

Cao Mengde is truly a famous general in the world. He is still so stable after hearing the news that the emperor attacked Ye.

"Junyi thought, how can I win this battle?"

Zhang He did not answer, but asked instead: "When I was just reorganizing the army, I heard that Mr. Zezhu tried to persuade his lord to return to the court and blocked the king from borrowing his troops from Hu. I wonder if this is the case?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately changed his face.

"The war is coming, why did Junyi ask about this irrelevant matter?"

But Zhang He said solemnly: "The king does not want to serve, and He also understands the king's difficulties. If the king has decided to fight life and death with the thief Cao within a few days, He is willing to bet on this life with the king, and ask the king to order to follow Xiang Yu's old story, burn down the boat, and order people to burn all the ferries to show their determination to fight the thief Cao, then the soldiers will naturally fight to the death, and may break the camp."

"Burn the ferry? Our army's food and grass are all supplied by Liyang, the north bank. The existing food and grass are only enough for a few days. This..."

"A single move will decline again, and then it will be exhausted. If this camp cannot be captured within three days, it will be no different even if it is ten or thirty days. If the king decides not to invite Hu soldiers, Jueyi and Cao thieves will fight in a life-and-death battle, and make a desperate bet, please ask the king to order the ships to burn. In this way, it can not only inspire the soldiers to fight to the death, but also stabilize the morale of the army, so that the soldiers know that they are fighting outside, at least they don't have to worry about their families being plundered by Hu's cadavers."

After saying that, Zhang He stared straight into Yuan Shao's eyes, full of hope.

"This...is still more than that, right? Or, let's attack the city first."

After saying that, Yuan Shao clearly felt that Zhang He's twinkling eyes seemed to immediately dim.

"Yes, I understand."

After saying that, Zhang He smiled bitterly and ordered: "Surprise the city, use the method of alternating day and night to try to consume the physical strength of Cao's army."
