Following Cao Cao's words.
All the troops left the Town Hall and began to prepare to attack Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao in the north was not idle either.
After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan at the Boundary Bridge, he immediately gathered his ministers.
Everyone sat in the tent.
Yuan Shao sat in the seat of honor, his tiger eyes wide open.
"Everyone, I defeated Gongsun Zan today and unified the north.”
"My army is strong and powerful. I want to take Cao Wei directly.”
Yuan Shao's advisor, Feng Ji, stood up when he heard the voice.
"Reporting to my lord, this subordinate thinks that this is the best time to attack Cao Wei!”
"Now, the lord has many soldiers and generals, and Cao Wei's army is only half of ours.”
"Cao Wei has taken advantage of the tense situation in the north to take down Wan City and Xu Prefecture. Soon, they will go straight for Jing Prefecture.”
"At that time, Shu and Wu will face each other. Once Liu Bei and Sun Quan fail, Cao Cao will be unstoppable.”
"At this moment, Cao Wei's rations are far inferior to ours.”
"Money, population, and resources are all insufficient.”
"Under such circumstances, if Cao Wei wants to defeat my lord, it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”
When Tian Feng heard this, he quickly went forward.
"Lord, you must not!"
"Now that we have just defeated Gongsun Zan, the soldiers need to rest and the people need to settle down.”
"My lord, you should wait quietly for the time to come.”
"We must not start a war, or else it will be very disadvantageous!”
Although Feng Ji had some talent, he was only clever and narrow-minded. He fawned on the powerful and flattered Feng, but he was deeply loved by Yuan Shao.
At this moment, seeing someone oppose him, Feng Ji couldn't help but burn with anger. After thinking for a moment, he went forward.
"Cao Wei is extremely cruel. My lord is sending troops to save the people from fire and water. This is a benevolent army!”
"Furthermore, my lord has unified the north and has abundant resources.”
"It's the right time!"
"Tian Feng, not only did you not lend my lord a helping hand, you even said something ominous to stop my lord from attacking Cao Wei. Could it be that you have an affair with Cao Cao?!”
When Tian Feng heard this, he argued.
"The people need stability, and the soldiers need to rest. This is the rule of the Heavenly Dao. How can you call it ominous words!"
Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the stage, frowned when he heard this.
He slammed the table.
"Enough! I don't want to hear it anymore."
"Tian Feng actually disturbed the morale of the army in front of all the generals. He deserves to be killed.”
The generals and strategists hurriedly stepped forward.
"My lord, Tian Feng was just anxious for a moment. Actually, he was also thinking for my lord. My lord, please reconsider!”Qiushou said.
"Please reconsider, my lord!" All the ministers tried to persuade him.
Yuan Shao saw that everyone was pleading for Tian Feng and could only give up helplessly.
"Humph! For the sake of all the ministers, I will spare your life. When I defeat Cao Wei and take down Xudu, I will come to you for punishment!”
After saying that, Yuan Shao walked out of the camp.
Then, he issued another order.
Yuan Shao's army gathered and marched towards the Wei Kingdom.
Along the way, flags were everywhere, and swords and sabers were everywhere.
In Wei, Cao Cao had also finished his preparations. He gathered his troops and headed north, leaving Xun Yu to guard the capital.
A great battle was about to begin.
Yuan Shao's army headed south to Yangwu.
After that, they set up camp and made arrangements for defense and attack.
Qiushou followed the army south. Along the way, he had been thinking about what Tian Feng had said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tian Feng was right.
But persuading Yuan Shao to go back at this time was already impossible.
After thinking for a long time, Ju Shou had an idea, so he quickly found Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao looked up slightly when he saw Ju Shou.
"Why did you come to my tent?”
Qiushou hurriedly bowed."
"My lord, I have been thinking for a long time in the camp. I have a good plan for attacking Cao Wei!”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he quickly raised his head.
"Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
Qiushou stepped forward."
"My lord, I've analyzed the situation for a long time and have a general idea of the situation.”
"Right now, although our army is large, we are already exhausted from the battle in the north.”
"Although Cao Cao's army is few, it took almost no effort to take down Wancheng and Xuzhou.”
"Compared to them, our army is indeed not as brave.”
When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes gradually narrowed.
Qiushou hurriedly spoke again.
"However, although the Wei army is strong, they lack food. Although our army is tired, we have sufficient rations.”
"The Wei army doesn't have enough food and grass. If they want to win, they have to launch an emergency attack.”
"This way, our advantage is very obvious!”
"We only need to defend this place and slowly exhaust the Wei army. When the Wei army runs out of rations, they will naturally retreat!”
Yuan Shao was furious.
"Bastard! Why should I defend? I have many soldiers and generals. How can I not defeat the small Cao Wei?”
"This Tian Feng is slowing down my morale. When I return, I will definitely behead him!”
"How dare you disturb the morale of the army?"
Yuan Shao shouted and called for the guards.
"Men, drag Qushou away and lock him up with Tian Feng! When I enter the capital, I will punish both of them!”
Following which he ordered the 700,000 troops to be split into four directions, east, south, west and north, setting up camps for 90 miles!
At this moment, Cao Cao and Ye Bei had also arrived at Guandu with the Wei army.
Following Ye Bei's instructions, Cao Cao set up camp at Guandu.
Just as everything was arranged, the scout ran back to Cao Cao's camp and quickly dismounted.
"King Wei, there's news!"
Cao Cao saw that his spy had returned and quickly got him to stand up.
"How is it?"
The scout took a deep breath.
"Reporting to the King of Wei, Yuan Shao 'an has 700,000 soldiers in Yang Wu!”
700,000!
Cao Cao gasped.
The other generals were also shocked and worried.
700,000 soldiers!
This was 700,000 yuan!
For this expedition, other than the soldiers guarding the capital, the Wei Kingdom had brought less than 150,000 people.
150,000 against 700,000, how could they fight?
For a moment, the crowd felt a little conflicted as they looked at Ye Bei.
Ye Bei smiled."
"Duke of Wei, don't worry. Although Yuan Shao has a lot of men, they are extremely complicated and not worth worrying about!”
"The soldiers of our Wei Country are all elites in the army. I've been personally training them these few days.”
"It's just that we don't have enough rations, so we can't waste our time fighting Yuan Shao.”
"Once this drags on, it's over!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao was relieved.
In any case, with Ye Bei around, it wasn't the first time he had witnessed Ye Bei's abilities.
As long as Ye Bei wasn't anxious, the morale of the army would be stable!
Thus, he quickly gave the order to mobilize 10,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 archers to lie in ambush on the flanks.
The next day, not long after dawn, Ye Bei was woken up by someone.
Then, they heard the sound of cannons.
This was a sign of war.
Hence, Ye Bei hurriedly washed up.
"Imperial Preceptor, you finally woke up. Yuan Shao has already led his troops here to fight us!”
When Ye Bei heard this, he quickly followed suit and watched the battle.
At this moment, they only saw that Yuan Shao had already led his horse over.
On his left and right were Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Chunyu Qiong, and the other generals.
Cao Cao also brought along Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, and the other generals.
