    "Yuan Shao is convinced. What do you think?" Liu Ke asked.

    Yuan Shao indeed offered generous terms, so Liu didn't have to spend a lot of time to continue attacking Jizhou.

    After all, Jizhou is still guarded by nearly 400,000 troops.

    "My lord, Yuan Shao has lost Youzhou and has too many troops. Once he attacks Bingzhou, he will definitely fight to the death. Then all the people will be devastated. This is probably not my lord's original intention." Guo Jia analyzed.

    "If we attack Jizhou, life will be ruined, and we cannot be kind in everything." Xun You said.

    When Zhang Liao attacked Xu County at the beginning, he was restrained because he was worried about harming the people and could not use it.

    It would be a pity to give up on things that are beneficial to Yangzhou now because of the "loss of life".

    In Xun You¡¯s view, it is in Yangzhou¡¯s interest to let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight.

    "Don't worry, Gongda, our army will only harm innocent people." Liu Kedao said that he was not merciful enough not to kill the enemy.

    The enemy is always an enemy. As long as the lives of Yangzhou soldiers are threatened, the common people can also be enemies.

    "My lord is wise! We can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight." Xun You said while cupping his hands.

    Guo Jia's suggestion is more in line with Liu Ke's thoughts, but Xun You also has many supporters.

    It¡¯s not that everyone is timid, but that we must choose a method that is in Yangzhou¡¯s interests.

    The counterattack of the 400,000-strong army is no joke. If some can be consumed, it will be beneficial to Yangzhou.

    "Kong Ming, what do you think?" Liu Ke asked.

    In such a scene where big bosses gathered together, Liu Ke personally asked Zhuge Liang for his opinion, which flattered the latter.

    However, Zhuge Liang quickly adjusted and said calmly: "Master, for us, no matter which plan we choose, we can easily benefit. However, there is one thing worth paying attention to."

    "Continue." Liu Kedao.

    "If we agree to Yuan Shao's conditions, Youzhou will become an enclave, which will be detrimental to our rule." Zhuge Liang said.

    I have to say that Zhuge Liang considered the problem very comprehensively.

    Liu Ke can indeed transport blood to Youzhou from the sea, but in people's deep-rooted philosophy, the territory needs to be connected by land.

    Most of the transportation of materials from Jiaozhou to Yangzhou relies on sea ships, but there are roads connecting Jiaozhou and Yangzhou on land.

    This official road was specially built by Liu Ke in order to strengthen the connection with Jiaozhou.

    Lelang County is an extremely special existence. It is just a county and a Bohai Fleet, which is enough to maintain contact.

    "But how many Bohai fleets does a big state need?"

    "Kong Ming's words make sense." Liu Kedao then looked at Xun You.

    Xun You bowed his hands in salute to Liu Ke and did not continue to speak.  Although he was still not convinced, Zhuge Liang's words were not unreasonable.

    Liu Ke¡¯s territory cannot be divided into one area in the east and one in the west.

    After capturing Jizhou, we can connect to Youzhou and even reach Lelang County via land.

    "Youzhou is the border. Although Wuhuan has been very honest in the past two years, we have to guard against it." Zhuge Liang said.

    "Okay, our military policy remains unchanged, with the goal of conquering Jizhou." Liu Kedao.

    Xun You sighed. He was not speaking for Xun Chen, but he just chose the way that best suited Yangzhou's interests.

    After the meeting, Liu Ke asked Xun You to stay.

    "Gongda, I know your loyalty, so you don't have to worry about it." Liu Ke comforted.

    Xun You has been here for so many years, how could Liu Ke not trust him?

    "Thank you, lord!" Xun You said excitedly, and the lord actually noticed his worries.

    "This battle is very important to Yangzhou, go ahead and prepare." Liu Kedao.

    "Yes!" Xun You resigned.

    The next day, Xun Chen was driven out of Qingzhou.

    With such a generous offer, Marquis Dongyang actually refused!

    It seems that this time, the determination of Jizhou to be destroyed by Dongyang Marquis is very firm. We must go back as soon as possible and tell the lord the news!

    Xun Chen hurried on his way, returned to Jizhou safe and sound, and reported the incident to Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Shao was silent for a quarter of an hour and said, "Is it true that there is no room left at all?"

    "My lord, please be prepared." Xun Chen said.

    Yuan Shao sneered inwardly. How could he be prepared?

    400,000 yuan?Not enough?

    Jizhou has fallen. These ministers can still find another way out, but what about the Yuan family?

    I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shu.

    ¡°I miss you, Yuan Shao, who comes from a family with four generations and three princes, but I would have such an embarrassing moment.¡± Yuan Shao sighed.

    ¡°My lord, the Marquis of Dongyang is a clan member of the Han Dynasty!

    Xun Chen did not dare to speak out for fear of being punished by Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Shao then held a meeting to discuss the matter.

    Xun Chen¡¯s mission is still a secret, and many people don¡¯t know about it.

    So everyone was shocked when they learned the news.

    "We have no retreat, or my Yuan family has no retreat." Yuan Shao said coldly.

    "Lord, we will advance and retreat together with you, no matter what the outcome is!" Jushu said.

    "Yes, lord, we still have an army of 400,000. If Marquis Dongyang wants to force us, he must show his true ability!" Gao Gan said.

    Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew and a famous "reckless man" in Hebei Province. He is loyal to Yuan Shao and is called "Four Son" by Yuan Shao.

    Therefore, Yuan Shao has no doubts about the words of senior officials, but it is hard to say for others.

    Everyone has their own agenda.

    Today Yuan Shao just wanted to deceive these people and beat them at the same time.  Otherwise, if they collude with the Marquis of Dongyang, Yuan Shao might as well surrender!

    However, these ghosts and monsters were very cautious and did not reveal their flaws.

    This is because they have not had the opportunity to contact Dongyang Hou.

    Yuan Shao knows the nature of the aristocratic family best.

    Facing everyone expressing their loyalty, Yuan Shao remained expressionless.

    After the meeting, Yuan Shao called his three sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

    "Youzhou was lost inexplicably!" Yuan Shao said.

    Yuan Xi immediately trembled and lowered his head.

    "If it's lost, it's lost. There's no point in pursuing it now. Next, you must unite as one and get through this disaster." Yuan Shao said.

    "Yes, father!" the three of them said in unison.

    Although the brothers had different ideas, they did not dare to go against Yuan Shao's will.

    "Xiansi, you are the oldest, so you have to take good care of your younger brother." Yuan Shao said to Yuan Tan.

    Yuan Tan glanced at Yuan Shang and said quickly: "Yes."

    "Xianfu, you are the youngest, but you are the most reassuring to me. You must work harder in the future." Yuan Shao said.

    "Father! My child will definitely help you defeat Dongyang Hou!" Yuan Shang said loudly.

    "Well done!" Yuan Shao was very pleased.

    At a time like this, all you care about is pleasing your father!

    Yuan Tan was very disdainful.

    Yuan Shang also looked down on his brother who was irresponsible.

    Soon after, the Yangzhou army began to mobilize and prepare boats to cross the river.

    Logically speaking, we have crossed the river last time and the boats should be enough, but this time there are too many troops.

    In order to speed up the crossing of the river, of course, the more boats, the better.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
