Chapter 1698 The Battle of Jizhou (1)
Feng Li was stunned!
But he quickly reacted and shouted: "General, please spare me! General, please spare me. I am willing to go up the knife and go down the oil pan for the general. General, you should keep me for you to charge in battle."
Feng Li kept struggling, but he was still dragged down by two soldiers.
Soon, a scream came from outside.
A soldier ran in and reported Yuan Shao to Yuan Shao.
Feng Li died like this, and the strategists who had already understood Yuan Shao's intentions looked calm. Like Xun Chen, Chang Lin and Dong Zhao, the expressions of the three of them had never changed. From the moment Yuan Shao said the words, they guessed Yuan Shao's intentions.
Isn’t it just that I want to shock those subordinates who have other thoughts at this critical moment?
In fact, Xun Chen, Chang Lin and Dong Zhao all agreed with Yuan Shao's approach. At least, under Yuan Shao's powerful pressure, everyone will be united and will not have any other thoughts.
And the generals who reacted more slowly were all shocked at this time!
Yuan Shao didn't care what these people were thinking. However, he was satisfied when he saw everyone's expressions. Although he was missing 80,000 soldiers now, he would not admit defeat so easily. Although Ju Su rebelled and surrendered to Cao ****, he felt that there were still many capable military generals under his command.
He glanced at everyone and said, "Since you are so loyal, we will work together to overcome the difficulties in front of us. But I said that in the front, if someone wants to quit midway or have any other thoughts, don't blame me for being rude."
Yuan Shao knew that the most urgent task now was not to defend Gonggaocheng, but to think about how to avoid Cao Cao's edge. Now that such a thing happened, he could not help even if he wanted to compete with Cao Cao, so he had to think of a way to avoid Cao Cao's edge for the time being.
So he asked, "Now Cao Xiu is in the west and Cao Cao is in the south, what should we do?"
Xun Chen thought for a while and then stepped forward and said, "General, my subordinates thought we should move north now. If we go south to Qingzhou Pingyuan County, our situation will only be even more difficult. There are constant wars there, and we will only be surrounded by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Shenzhou Kingdom. It is better to go north than to go north."
Xun Chen's words sound very reasonable.
But soon a general pointed it out.
"If we go north, we will face the Qin Palace in Youzhou directly. Sooner or later, we will be surrounded and attacked from the front and back. With our current troops, we will definitely not be able to resist."
Xun Chen smiled faintly. In fact, when Cao Cao first attacked Jizhou, he wanted Yuan Shao to concentrate his troops against Cao Cao, instead of fighting on both sides. Cao Cao is very strong now, and fighting on both sides will only make him exhausted. Moreover, giving up Youzhou is not a big deal. As long as Cao Cao can handle it, there is still time to attack Youzhou in the future.
But it's too late to talk about this now.
Xun Chen continued, "I wonder if the general and all the generals can endure hardships?"
When everyone heard Xun Chen's words, they were not happy.
Can you endure hardships?
Do you still need to ask such a question? If we can't endure hardship, then who else can endure hardship? Do you think you can endure hardship? So, they all began to say that they could endure hardship, and let Xun Chen say whatever he had.
Xun Chen pointed to the military map and said, "There are still a large area of land waiting for us to conquer. If we can occupy a piece of land on the grasslands in the north and raise war horses there, we will be able to counterattack in less than a few years."
"What?"
"Escape to the northern grassland?"
Yuan Shao was shocked, and many military generals and strategists expressed their acceptance.
If you go to the northern grasslands, it is better to surrender directly.
Everyone was frightened by Xun Chen's whimful idea. Everyone expressed their unacceptance, including Chang Lin and Dong Zhao. Both of them felt that Xun Chen was crazy. Otherwise, as long as they were a normal person, they would not have thought of such a solution.
Yuan Shao directly ignored Xun Chen's words, and he directly turned his attention to Dong Zhao, Chang Lin and others.
Xun Chen sighed slightly.
He knew that Yuan Shao did not have such courage.
In fact, his inner thoughts are really like this. As long as Yuan Shao can bring these soldiers, including some people, to the grasslands in the north, there will be enough war horses to form a powerful cavalry. In this way, it is not impossible to counterattack Sili. But now it seems that Yuan Shao will not consider it at all.
After all, it's too difficult to start over!
Dong Zhao and Chang Lin looked at each other, and Chang Lin walked forward and said, "General, his subordinates also believe that we should give up Gonggao City now. Continuing to guard here will only consume our own strength. We should avoid Cao Cao's edge."
"How to avoid it?" Yuan Shao asked.
"We can go north to Lecheng, then enter Anping Kingdom, then from Anping Kingdom to northwest into Zhongshan Kingdom, from Guangchang City, northwest of Zhongshan Kingdom, and then go directly west, entering Bingzhou with lightning speed. At this time, Bingzhou must be empty, so we can take advantage of this to occupy some places, then defend Bingzhou, and then develop." Chang Lin told his big transfer, that is, the method of escape.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately obeyed.
He thought this plan was very good. Cao Cao would definitely think that he was going to enter Youzhou and give up the pursuit. After that, Cao Cao would lead his troops to conquer other parts of Jizhou. Then, he could take this time to kill Bingzhou and occupy most of Bingzhou.
Moreover, he thought of a question.
There are grasslands in Bingzhou, and you can also raise war horses. You can also cultivate a powerful cavalry as Xun Chen said, and then attack Sili.
But after seeing Yuan Shao's expression, Xun Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
Because time was urgent, Yuan Shao immediately summoned the soldiers to start the transfer.
As soon as Yuan Shao left, Cao Xiu caught up with him, and Cao Xiu was still chasing him with Ju Su. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to lead his troops to kill Ju Su, but in order to make a comeback in the future, he still did not want to fight and fled north with his soldiers.
What Yuan Shao did not expect was that Cao Xiu and Ju Su did not chase after him, and Cao Cao was the one who chased him behind.
However, Cao Cao was at least two days away from him, and Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that once he entered Youzhou, Cao Cao would definitely stop chasing him.
