Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

anger?No.

Sorry, can't say.

On the first day of dispatching troops, Yuan Shao thought that Li Yi would not give him this chance.

Although the current situation was the last thing he wanted to see, it was also expected.

It's just that he is really not reconciled!

After a while, Yuan Shao let go of his palm, stretched it out slowly, and asked, "Where is the letter?"

Yuan Shao's tone was almost the same as usual, but Xu You couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly took out a letter, carefully placing it in Yuan Shao's hand.

During the process, Xu You saw several bloodstains on Yuan Shao's palm, hesitated for a moment, but dared not speak.

Yuan Shao took the letter, unfolded it, and read it line by line, his expression remained unchanged, but everyone in the tent felt as if something was pressed on them, and they were a little out of breath.

Finally, Wen Chou couldn't help but walked up to him, and asked in a low voice, "Master, how is the situation in the south?"

Yuan Shao looked up and saw the concern in Wen Chou's eyes, he didn't say anything, he just pointed his finger and beckoned Xu You to explain to them.

Xu You's mouth was inexplicably dry, he swallowed his saliva, and then said: "First of all, there was a change in Chang'an, and Han Sui led his troops to Chang'an. Li Jue, Guo Si and others were also mobilizing troops. According to someone in the court The news sent said that Li Jue seemed to be going to Bingzhou. The military division noticed something was wrong, and compared the information from various places in the Central Plains, it was found that although Li Yi did not increase troops in Dong'a, the soldiers and horses from various places also moved frequently, and they seemed to be gathering in the direction of Dingtao. .”

The examiner asked urgently: "How many soldiers and horses are there in total?"

"Because of Han Sui's participation, Chang'an has about [-] to [-] troops, while Li Yi..."

Xu You paused, with obvious hesitation on his face.

Wen Chou couldn't help urging: "How much?"

Xu You looked at Yuan Shao again, and seeing that Yuan Shao didn't say anything, he whispered, "According to the military adviser's deduction, I'm afraid, it's probably not less than 25..."

"hiss--"

The inside of Taisho was immediately filled with the sound of gasping for air.

The current Yuan Shao is no different from the Yuan Shao who unified Hebei. He only controls Jizhou, Bingzhou, and some areas of Pingyuan County. Moreover, because the Han Dynasty has been weakening in recent years, many places in the northwest of Bingzhou have also been occupied by foreign races. At most, it is two The state, and the two states that have been fighting for years, have very limited war potential. Yuan Shao can only gather a force of over [-] troops at most, and this is counted as recruits.

But as for Li Yi, they just mobilized, and before they formally dispatched troops, their strength is already more than twice that of theirs. Considering the possible follow-up increase of troops, how to fight this battle?

In wars, only a few cases are won by resourcefulness, and most of the rest are piled up with troops and human lives. Therefore, in the face of such an absolute gap in strength, even a fierce Hebei general like Wen Chou can hardly hide his fear in his eyes, let alone Talk about those civil servants.

Silently, many people lowered their heads subconsciously, and they didn't know whether they were afraid to face Yuan Shao or the sudden situation.

When Yuan Shao put down the letter, he saw a scene where everyone lowered their heads, even Yuan Xi was no exception.

For a moment, Yuan Shao was very angry.

Once upon a time, these were the capitals he was proud of and the foundation of his ambitions, but just hearing that Li Yi's troops were mobilized, it became like this.

How can he be embarrassed?

However, Yuan Shao didn't get angry in the end, because if he also messed up, it would really be over.

Sighing silently, a smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face, and then he laughed even louder, even with a bit of sarcasm, causing the judge and the others to raise their heads.

The judge asked with concern: "My lord...why are you laughing?"

The judge was cautious, and kept looking at Yuan Shao's expression, for fear that Yuan Shao would be angry.

"it's okay no problem"

Yuan Shao wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he had burst into tears from laughter, and cried out several times, then he managed to calm himself down, shook his head and said, "I laugh at Li Yi for being too young and vigorous. Xingbing, hehe, Li Yi, you must lose this battle!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Counting Chang'an, Li Yi must have mobilized more than 30 troops. This number is fatal no matter when it is placed, but why does Yuan Shao still say that Li Yi will be defeated?

Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, Yuan Shao finally showed dissatisfaction on his face, and scolded: "You are all resourceful people, is it because of Li Yi's small actions that you messed up?"

"Ashamed subordinate!"

The judge was the first to bow down and plead guilty, and the others followed suit.

When he got up, the examiner bowed again, and said: "This subordinate is dull, please ask the master to clarify."

Yuan Shao didn't seem to be really angry, he waved his hands to everyone, and sat down casually, and then explained: "I said Li Yi must lose, there are three reasons!"

Everyone looked awe-inspiring, quietly waiting for Yuan Shao's opinion.

"First, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Dong Zhuo's remnants, everyone knows that the two are traitors of the Han Dynasty. Li Yi's association with the traitors will definitely be shamed by the loyal and righteous people in the world, and the hearts of the people will be separated. This is a defeat!"

"Secondly, Li Guo is a villain. He is willing to be Li Yi's pioneer, but he just wants to be rich. How can he really sacrifice his life for Li Yi? Therefore, I dare to say that these two people will never fight to the death in Bingzhou. It's easy, but if Li and Guo are defeated, how can the morale of Li Yi's army not be affected, and this two defeats!"

Yuan Shao looked around at the crowd and saw that they were thinking. Although he was not immediately encouraged, he was not as panicked as before. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Thirdly, the danger of the Yellow River is better than thousands of passes. Li Yibing Although there are many horses, but the number of boats, he was in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and it took less than a year to fully fight. In addition to the turbulent water, a thousand people crossed the river, and only three to five hundred people crossed the river. As long as there are three thousand elites lined up on the river, who can go ashore Half a step?"

"Hmph, after several months of stalemate, Li Yi has been unable to cross the Yellow River, and with the consumption of more than 20 soldiers and horses, after winter, Li Yi can only be undefeated and defeated!"

In the end, Yuan Shao smiled again, and said, "Li Yi's background is too shallow, and it's really not easy to stop him at once, but he is seeking defeat now. Once his momentum is frustrated, how many heroes in the vast Central Plains will be willing to be subdued by ordinary people?" Next, hehe, when the Central Plains will be in chaos, that's when I'm going south, everyone, do you think so?"

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he took a few breaths of silence, then Guo Tu stepped forward, and said with a face of shame: "After listening to the words of the lord, this subordinate suddenly understood, and I also ask the lord to give an order, and this subordinate is willing to be the vanguard to defeat the enemy!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu You also bowed: "This subordinate is willing to defeat the enemy for the Lord!"

Unlike Guo Tu's loyalty, Xu You really gritted his teeth when he spoke. Li Yi didn't die, and even if he was alive, he would feel boring.

Yuan Shao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help, motioning for the two to get up.

At this time Wen Chou also came out, clasped his fists solemnly, and said in a loud voice: "As long as the lord has the order, I will be able to kill mountains of swords and seas of fire!"

"The subordinates are willing to defeat the enemy for the Lord!"

In the end, other people also stood up one after another, expressing their courage to fight like Yuan Shao, and for a while, their momentum was high.

"Okay, very good, with everyone's help, what a mere Li Yi is!"

Yuan Shao affirmed everyone's attitude with a look of satisfaction, and then said seriously: "Okay, everyone will return to their respective battalions immediately, and be fully prepared. I will issue a military order later!"

"Here!"

Everyone took orders and retreated one after another. Soon, only Yuan Shao and the judge were left in the big tent.

Seeing that the judge did not leave, Yuan Shao looked at him for a while and asked, "Why doesn't Zhengnan go?"

The judge was silent at first, then suddenly fell to the ground and said in a low voice: "The subordinate is incompetent and cannot share the Lord's worries."

Yuan Shao was startled for a moment, and then his whole body vented, leaving only a wry smile on his face.

What Yuan Shao said just now was just to boost morale, the Yellow River is indeed dangerous, but Li Yi's hundreds of thousands of troops are vegetarians?The worst thing is that Li Yi detours east of the river and goes to Bingzhou, which can make him helpless, and what Li Yi pays is only some time, but he has to pay all his foundation.
