Early the next morning, Yuan Shao led 150,000 troops to Baima, looking around, but seeing the banner blue sky, the sword light was cold, the killing machine was cold, at noon, when Yuan Shao rectified the army, the 100,000 troops of the imperial court also arrived, for a time, the small white horse gathered nearly 300,000 troops, this is the first time since Liu Xie took power, the first time to command such a large-scale army battle, but also since the early peace years, the first formal large-scale operation, the previous coalition army attack the tiger prison and the earlier princes to discuss Dong Although the momentum is huge, But in fact, when it comes to formality, it is far less than the current battle.
Yuan Shao folded two battles, lost a lot of soldiers and horses, now it is less than 200,000, only 180,000 people, and the imperial court, although won two battles, but the soldiers and horses were at a disadvantage at the beginning, and now only 110,000 troops participated in the war, but in addition to the 110,000 regular army, there is also Montenegro Zhang Yan Xiangxiang, although the Montenegrin army claims to be million, but the actual can be pulled out of the battle, there are only 20,000 or 30,000, if the two sides are superimposed, and Yuan Shao's strength is not much different.
In this battle, Chang'an, Shuzhong, Nanyang plus Xiliang, Liu Xie almost all the soldiers and horses that can be drawn over, and Yuan Shao, in addition to the border army, also used almost all the troops to fight this battle with the imperial court, for Yuan Shao, this is an opportunity to compete for the hegemony of the north, as long as he wins, the Si Li, who has recovered his vitality, Chang'an, Bingzhou, and Xiliang, even if the princes swallow together, with Yuan Shao's current ability, he can also get the largest piece of the cake.
And for Liu Xie, if Yuan Shao can be defeated, even if he can't take Jizhou in a short time, but Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou will definitely be able to return to the territory of the Han Dynasty, leaving only one Jizhou, gradually encroaching, and how long can it block the imperial court, when the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court will be able to Yong, Liang, and, You, Hebei, Qing, Yi Seven Prefectures, plus Hetao, Sili and Nanyang, most of the world has been exhausted, and the trend of sweeping the world has been completed, at least north of Jiangdong, Cao Cao, Chen Jue and the princes of the two roads have no natural danger to use, it is difficult to resist Liu Xie's invasion.
The two sides met with the white horse, and they confronted each other three miles apart, Liu Xie ordered people to build a high platform, and used the clairvoyant mirror to observe the Yuan army's camp, and couldn't help but praise: "Although it is a brother, this Yuan is more than a step stronger than Yuan Shu at the beginning, just looking at this big camp is interlocking, and it is far from being comparable to the straw bag of Yuan Highway, no wonder I have the confidence to dare to compete with me." ” Guo Jia smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, under Yuan Shao, there are a lot of outstanding people, not to mention that Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other fierce generals, among the scribes, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu all have the talents of the auxiliary country, and the rest of the judges, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Wang Xiu, Chen Lin, etc. are all good talents, but unfortunately, under Yuan Shao, there are many factions, and the dispute between Jizhou and the Yingchuan family has never stopped, although Yuan Shao has heroic qualifications, but he is resourceful and indecisive, and he has failed to reconcile the dispute between this faction, but makes his internal fighting continue, otherwise, today's Yuan Shao is more than this."
Guo Jia had been under Yuan Shao for a period of time, and knew the situation under Yuan Shao well, in fact, there was no factional dispute between the upstart and the old ministers, and the regional dispute also existed, but although Liu Xie was young, he had enough decision-making ability, and he knew very well what was the main thing and what was secondary. weakening the foundation of those families, but it can make the newly promoted civil and military forces get close to Liu Xie's side and form a confrontation.
Most of the upstarts are from poor families or small families, and they have no rights in the first place, even if Liu Xie continues to weaken the interests of the family as a whole, but for these poor families and small families, their status and rights have really increased, and then through the military merit system, all the troops will be cleaned up.
Although the family has been making small moves, but the money, food, and army are all in the hands of Liu Xie, these families seem to be noisy, but in Guo Jia's eyes, they are like the clowns who jump off the beam, from beginning to end, including Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who have fallen to Liu Xie, Liu Xie has not given them anything substantial, more often, he is painting cakes for them, and Zhu Jun is giving Zhu Hao a great future, but in fact, Zhu Hao is now just a partial general and has real power, but this kind of real power, Liu Xie can abolish it when he opens his mouth.
The attitude towards Huang Fu Song is a little different, with a bit of coercion, but it accurately grasps the key point of Huang Fu Song, so that Huang Fu Song does not dare to turn his face with Liu Xie at all, although he is nearly thirty years younger than Yuan Shao, but in Guo Jia's view, the three Yuan Shao may not be comparable to one Liu Xie, not ability, but vision and courage, this kind of thing, has nothing to do with ability, but it is the most important thing for the superior.
If Yuan Shao can have half of Liu Xie's courage, I'm afraid not to mention Qingzhou and Youzhou now, I'm afraid that Liu Xie will have to face Yuan Shao, who plays the role of Qingyou and Hebei and even Yan and Henan.
"I want to use the darkness to drive a dedge between Yuan Shao's lords and ministers, what does Feng Xiao think" Liu Xie put away the clairvoyant mirror and looked at Guo Jiadao with a smile.
There are many factions under Yuan Shao, this is not a secret, the intelligence network of the imperial court is not a decoration, and it is natural to find out that as early as when it was foreseen today, Liu Xie has begun to lay out, and the imperial court has joined forces with Qingzhou to continuously plant chess pieces in Jizhou, and now, when the decisive battle is due, it is time to use it.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to go to such great lengths."
Guo Jia couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this: "With Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others by Yuan Shao's side, why should Your Majesty be separated" "Oh" Liu Xie heard this, and looked at Guo Jia in surprise: "What do you mean by the words of filial piety?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Guo Tu this person, there is wisdom, but they are all small wisdom, only know the intrigue, but do not know the overall situation, when the minister worked for Yuan Shao, although he was also a Yingchuan scholar, but he was quite jealous of this person, this person not only rejected the Jizhou faction, but also was quite jealous of the outstanding people in the Yingchuan faction, I don't know how many good ministers were excluded by him and turned away from Yuan Shao, otherwise with Yuan Shao's original reputation, Yingchuan has many outstanding people, Yuan Shao's Yingchuan lineage, how can it be Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others have become pillars Your Majesty can rest assured, there are these two people, There is no need for His Majesty to use the room at all, these guests should be left for the future, and it will not be too late for His Majesty to use it when he swept Jizhou. ” Liu Xie nodded when he heard this, this kind of person is actually not uncommon, in the workplace in the previous life, there are many such people, the ability is there, but he likes to suppress the potential juniors, and the external interpersonal relationship is not very good, but he knows how to figure out the boss's heart, can coax the boss to be happy, and has the ability, but unfortunately limited to the pattern, in front of the real event, limited to the vision, unable to make the right judgment, if you meet a boss with soft ears and easy to be fooled, it is definitely a perfect match for losers.
Liu Xie didn't mention this matter anymore, looked up at the sky, the sunlight was a little dazzling, and turned to Xu Chu and said: "Order someone to record between the two armies, and I will personally meet this for the first prince."
The name of the first prince in the world has changed hands as early as when Liu Xie annexed Nanyang, Yuan Shao's power has been expanding over the years, while Yuan Shu's power is shrinking, even if Yuan Shu does not die this time, it is difficult to compare with Yuan Shao.
"Oh" Xu Chu agreed, and took people to set up tables and chairs in the center of the two armies, Liu Xie was the emperor, and there should be a head, this table and chair was made in strict accordance with the level divided by the Ministry of Industry, and the Nine Dragons Chaotian Chair, on the table, was also engraved with dragon patterns, and a canopy was also erected on the side, showing the royal style.
Liu Xie came to the center of the two armies under the escort of Xu Chu and Liu Bei, at this distance, even if Yuan Shao wanted to make trouble, Liu Xie had enough time to retreat calmly.
Nodding to Xu Chu, Xu Chu flew out of his horse and came to the front of the two armies and said loudly: "Yuan Benchu is invited by His Majesty." ” In the Jizhou army, Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Liu Xie, who was standing in the center, and Tian Feng on the side frowned and said: "The position of the monarch and the minister has been decided early, and the lord will definitely fall into disadvantage in terms of identity, so don't pay attention to it." ” Guo Tu, who was standing beside Yuan Shao, pouted his lips disdainfully when he heard this: "Yuan Hao is inevitably too careful, since the Son of Heaven has been invited, if he doesn't go, wouldn't it be a weakening momentum and this place is a thousand steps away from the armies of both sides, if he is still timid at this time, wouldn't it make the world laugh at the lord's courage."
"Guo Tu, if the lord has a bad pool, you can afford it" Tian Feng couldn't help but be furious, and he scolded at the mouth.
"Okay," Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Don't say a word." ” Looking at Liu Xie, who was already sitting down under the canopy, Yuan Shao's eyes were more focused on the two people beside him, a Xu Chu, the world had already seen his bravery under the Tiger Prison, but Yuan Shao also had Zhang He and Gao Lan under his command, so he was naturally not afraid.
As for Liu Bei on the side, Yuan Shao naturally recognized it, although Liu Bei was originally famous for his bravery, but in fact, Yuan Shao could cope with Liu Bei's martial arts.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shao said indifferently: "I have made up my mind, Zhang He and Gao Ran will go with me, and I also want to see what is so powerful about this young son of heaven, you don't need to persuade me anymore, with Zhang He and Gao Ran with me, it is expected that the Son of Heaven will not be able to do anything to me."
"Oh" Tian Feng heard this, he had to sigh bitterly, since the Son of Heaven took power, every time he schemed, he never did anything superfluous, although he couldn't see what Liu Xie's move meant, but he always felt that Liu Xie had no good intentions, at this time, more things are better than less things, why bother with more words It's just that Yuan Shao has already decided, and he can't change it, so he can only glare at Guo Tu fiercely, and watch Yuan Shao walk towards Liu Xie with Zhang He and Gao Ran. t1706231537:
