Fang Zhiwen would not care about how Ma Teng communicated with Han Sui next. Anyway, Ma Teng happily signed a three-party agreement to build a new city with Fang Zhiwen and Bai Suxin. According to the agreement, Ma Teng only needs to send out 50,000 infantry soldiers and one general, and even the food and grass of these 50,000 people didn’t have to worry about. The rest were all about Fang Zhiwen and Bai Suxin. Ma Teng just waited for dividends. If Ma Teng was unwilling to do this kind of good thing, he was a fool! As for Han Sui’s idea, did Ma Teng really not understand? Or was he pretending to be confused with his understanding?

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, as well as the tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers who came over, actively chased the Xianbei people to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and then they fell behind or fled with the captured large number of Xianbei people who had been abandoned or abandoned, and some or were abandoned returned to Juyanhai. Guo Jia calculated that the Xianbei people who were transported scattered through Juyanhai and returned to Shuofang to the east of the Gobi Desert were about 400,000 to 500,000. With tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers, the battle reduced by about 600,000 Xianbei people, and the results were quite good.

When Fang Zhiwen left, Juyancheng had already begun to take shape. Ma Teng came to see Fang Zhiwen off in person, but Han Sui was not seen. Because Fang Zhiwen mentioned Ma Chao last time, Ma Teng took Ma Chao to meet Fang Zhiwen this time. Fang Zhiwen liked Ma Chao, who was straightforward and invited Ma Chao brothers to study in Miyun, but he was worried that Ma Teng would come.

After making an appointment to meet again, Fang Zhiwen took nearly 100,000 cavalry and escorted the last group of Xianbei people on the road to the east in the wind and snow. The days are approaching the New Year, and Fang Zhiwen is still rushing home to celebrate the New Year!

Time passes by like a flash of time, and in the blink of an eye, another time of spring blooming.

The spring weather in the eighth year of Guangxi is good. This year, there is probably no longer a large-scale drought. In winter, Xun Yu still mobilized various cities to carry out deep land sweeping to prevent locusts from plague. A large number of water conservancy facilities built in winter have been basically completed. Spring is coming, ice and snow melt, and the ditches of water conservancy facilities, as well as artificial lakes and ponds of large and small, are filled with clear water, and the tender grass on the ground is like blankets. The blue ponds are embedded in it, like pieces of sapphire, which is so beautiful.

Everyone in Youzhou is full of hope for this year, especially those who lost their homes and relatives last year, who have regained hope for their lives. This mood will naturally be reflected in daily activities, making the entire Youzhou full of strange vitality.

Spring rain has fallen along the Yellow River. The drizzle has been falling and the drizzle has been going on for a few days, carefully nourishing the dry earth and enriching it, even the river water has become particularly lively.

Lu Bu's troops were crossing the river near Yanjin. Choosing this attack direction was a countermeasure against Yuan Shao, gaining control of Hanoi, allowing Lu Bu's troops to extend to a place not far from Yecheng. Although Yuan Shao had a great advantage in Henan, he had to carefully consider the security of Yecheng. This was not only a matter of face, but also a matter of the entire strategy. Yuan Shao had to transfer heavy troops back to Anyang.

At the same time, the Wen Chou Legion, which was transferred earlier, was deployed towards Chaoge and Long Linlu, and was preparing to cooperate with Gongsun Zan to counterattack Hanoi. As a result, Henan's offensive naturally slowed down.

On the Lu Bu's army, Pang Yuan was in charge of Anping and fought against Yan Liang's army. Lu Bu stepped out and led the cavalry to cross the river in Yanjin, preparing to destroy the Wen Chou army at the camera and completely crush Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's plan to counterattack Hanoi.

The news that Lu Bu crossed the river made Yuan Shao very nervous.

"Benchu, not only could Zhang Hemen not be transferred back to Hebei, but Pan Feng should go south and strengthen the offensive against Dongping County and Lu County. Lu Bu's idea was to use threatening Yecheng as a means to mobilize our Henan troops, with the intention of cooperating with Zhang Bao to counterattack Mount Tai and Jibei. Isn't Benchu ​​doing this just right to cater to their ideas?"

Xu You's opposition made Yuan Shao very embarrassed. In fact, he was still a little scared of Lu Bu's power, for fear that Wen Chou and Gao Gan could not stop Lu Bu in Anyang. Although he didn't believe that Lu Bu could really capture Yecheng, if Lu Bu really took his army to Yecheng and wandered around, Yuan Shao would also feel that he had no place to put his face!

Everyone could see Yuan Shao's hesitation. Xu Miao hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, Lord Xu's statement is very good. Lu Bu's all who crossed the north are all cavalry and his ability to attack is not strong. As long as our army cannot defend, Lu Bu cannot do anything to me. The north and south lines must have some emphasis. If the troops are distributed equally and neither side can attack, wouldn't it be useless for military funds?"

"What's wrong with Jingshan? The key is that Lu Bu also needs military funds. Now that Lu Bu has been fighting for many years, the people's livelihood in Yanzhou has declined and the war continues, the first one must be Lu Bu's strong enemies on all sides. Once there are signs of weakness, it must be a scene of attacking people. On the contrary, if our army is now attacking with great damage, it will not only cause huge damage, but also feel like making wedding dresses for others. The one who gets benefits in the end may not be our army."

Xun Chen has different views. Xun Chen is a person who is not very superstitious about military strength. He values ​​the comparison of strength between the two sides more. From a strategic point of view, Xun Chen's words are correct, but war is not just a comparison of war potential and strength. Sometimes, the outcome of a battle may change a lot.

"My subordinates agree with Youruo's view. Now they should focus on stability. Only when Jizhou is stable is stable and has been hit by drought. Now they should quit the people, restore Jizhou's production as soon as possible, accumulate strength, and at the same time, delay Lu Bu with a smaller consumption, so that he can only consume his strength. Once there is a change, he will attack him."

As an old minister, Geng Bao's words were very important. Geng Ji was not willing to fall behind at this time: "My lord, my subordinates also think that the lord's idea is better. Now it is not the moment of deciding life and death, but the long competition has begun. There is no need to rush to fight. It is just that Lu Bu is slowly consuming it!"

Yuan Shao's hand stroking his beard became faster and faster, and the smile on his face became more and more relaxed. Seeing that most of the advisers supported him, Yuan Shao also strengthened his confidence more and more.

Xu You glanced at everyone disdainfully: "Benchu ​​wants to be at peace with the current situation? This is not a bad thing. But Benchu ​​is developing, and Lu Bu will not be idle either. Last year, Lu Bu was forced to go to rob the tomb by a drought. Even the five counties in Yanbei and Zhang Liao were sold to Fang Zhiwen. Everyone thinks that Lu Bu will continue to make the same mistake this year?"

"."

"Sili and Yanzhou are like Jizhou. They are mature land with a very high degree of development. As long as there are populations and water conservancy farmlands are restored, a large amount of grain will be planted soon. At that time, will everyone continue to say today? Keep waiting for Lu Bu to make mistakes, or the princes around him can't help but want to fight Lu Bu and we will take the opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Xu You's words made everyone unable to answer. Geng Bao thought for a while and said, "But it is true that Jizhou is anxious to rest."

"Mr. Geng, Jizhou is the sea in the east, Gongsun Zan in the west, and Youzhou is the behemoth of Youzhou in the north, but Youzhou will not come to annex us. Therefore, there is only one enemy in the south. As long as we control the front line and prevent the enemy from infiltrating in, will the production in the rear be affected? On the contrary, if we strengthen the offensive, the production in Dongping County, Lu County, Shanyang County and Rencheng County in Yanzhou cannot be carried out normally, especially at the critical moment of spring plowing. Not only that, you should also contact Cao Cao, Huangfu Song, and Sima Fang to harass Lu Bu together to prevent him from developing production with peace of mind. In fact, judging from the tactical arrangement of Lu Bu's north, Lu Bu simply wants to use attack as a defense, provide guarantees for spring plowing and production, rather than conquering cities and territory."

"This." Geng Bao also concluded. To be honest, Geng Bao's water products are also very limited when it comes to strategic issues.

"It is feasible to connect with Sima Fang, but this does not conflict with the lord's intentions. The lord is just seeking stability. If a person is not careful and is led by Lu Bu to break through to Yecheng, it will have a great impact on the morale of our army and the lord's reputation."

Xun Chen's words are not unreasonable. Although Xu You really wanted to say that even if Lu Bu hits the bottom of Yecheng, there would be no problem, but this statement must be angered by the public. Many of the people present have vested interests in Yecheng.

Xu You's face changed for a while, but in the end he still did not continue to stick to his point of view. He said in a muffled voice: "Original, I'll say this, you should think carefully. A temporary weakness may lead to long-term trouble."

After saying that, Xu You lowered his head and pulled the goatee's beard and stopped talking. Xu You's concession made Yuan Shao feel relieved. It would be troublesome if there were too many subordinates. Each person had his opinion, and each of them had some truth. It sounded like he was at a loss.

Yuan Shao glanced at the ministers, hesitated for a while before straightening his body and speaking: "Let Zhang He return to Dunqiu on the north, on the one hand, prevent Lu Bu's attack, and on the other hand, threaten Puyang and Chaoge from the flanks, mobilize Pan Feng's army to go south to Dong'a, and return to Yan Liang's command to strengthen the infiltration and attack on Dongping County and Lu County."

Yuan Shao's approach is a balanced strategy. It seems that both sides are pleased, but in line with Xu Miao's statement, the military power is distributed equally, so that neither side can attack in large numbers. Especially Pan Feng, who is not good at attacking, and it would be better if Pan Feng and Zhang He switched to this place.

So from the bottom of his heart, Yuan Shao was still afraid of Lu Bu, so he subconsciously placed Zhang He, who had a stronger combat power, around Yecheng. Xu You looked at the expressions on the faces of the ministers and shook his head gently. In order to protect his interests from losses, these people encouraged Yuan Shao to choose conservative practices, but why was Yuan Shao so conservative? Has he exhausted his ambitions?

In early March of the eighth year of Guangxi, Lu Bu crossed the Yellow River and after reaching Chaoge, he launched an attack towards Anyang. However, he had Wen Chou on the front and Zhang He on the side. In fact, the attack was very difficult, but Lu Bu was never afraid of the difficulty. On the contrary, he hoped to fight Wen Chou and Zhang He on the front, hoping to defeat one of them. Unfortunately, both of them were very steady and self-aware. They never fought with Lu Bu on the front. Instead, they always coveted Lu Bu's logistics on the side, making Lu Bu dare not attack too much, so the battle situation fell a little.
