Because Yuan Shao's new entry into Jizhou and his foundation was unstable, Gongsun Zan came again with great momentum and was unstoppable. After winning several victories, the front-line counties had almost no resistance and abandoned Yuan Shao and surrendered to Gongsun Zan. For a moment, the people in Yuan Shao's camp were in panic. Yuan Shao felt that it was really time to cede land and seek peace. It was scary. After cede land, Gongsun Zan still refused to give up and would continue to fight!

It is obvious that Yuan Shao is in a state of indecisiveness again and does not know how to make a decision.

At this time, because winter was gradually approaching and the food was not enough, the people in the Central Plains lived a difficult life, which led to the rise of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou again. It was so large that it was said to have 300,000 troops, plus the elderly, weak, women and children, and millions.

Because the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were very wide and several nearby prefectures and counties suffered, the war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao temporarily eased. The tense situation seemed to have returned to a negotiable situation. Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng from the front line and urgently summoned his advisers to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

......

At the meeting, everyone was frowning and there were many different opinions.

When he was in Bohai, Yuan Shao's men could call out their names were enough to divide into two teams and play a basketball game; and now Jizhou has been incorporated, with heavyweight advisers such as Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and Ju Su joining. The entire conference venue was filled with people. To put it nicely, it was full of talents, but in Guo Jia's opinion, it was like a vegetable market. Is this planning to play a football game and add referees?!

After discussion, all the strategists believed that the land could not be cedeed!

Because even if the land is ceased, Gongsun Zan will definitely continue to fight. By then, the territory will be smaller and the resources will be less. Although it will be delayed for a while, it will not be a long-term solution.

Nowadays, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are not powerless. As long as they can withstand Gongsun Zan's attack, with the advantage of having more people in Jizhou and sufficient food, the longer they drag, the greater the advantage. Gongsun Zan does not have the foundation to fight like this.

And if the cedes in the land are really weak, what will the people in the world think of Yuan Shao? Then no one will say that others will come to surrender. Even within Yuan Shao's army, there will probably be many talents leaving.

But the strategists said it easily, and Yuan Shao felt a little unhappy. In Yuan Shao's opinion, these literati were all talking on paper. Standing behind the scenes and making mistakes is of course extremely relaxed, and they didn't know the hardships on the battlefield.

War means resistance by resistance? On the battlefield, if the soldiers are fighting to the death, will the soldiers fight to the death? Now the original troops in Jizhou have not yet fully returned. Not to mention how strong the combat power is, it is better not to betray it.

If you didn’t think the situation was serious, might Yuan Shao rush back to discuss it? Yuan Shao wanted to find someone to propose a plan to solve the current problem, rather than coming back to listen to these people saying, ‘Continue to fight, continue to fight, persistence is victory’.

Besides, there is not only Gongsun Zan, but the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is emerging, even if they are all grass-roots people. But after all, there are many people. If the other party takes advantage of Yuan Shao’s side and raises heavy troops to attack him in Jizhou, then Yuan Shao really can’t see hope under internal and external troubles. Could it be that he can still count on Gongsun Zan at that time and let him stop first, and wait until we solve the Yellow Turban Army first, and then fight one-on-one?

Just then, a different voice rang out.

"I think I can give Bohai County to Gongsun Zan."

"What?!" Everyone screamed. They had already said that they would never cede the land. You are not going to cede the land, but also send out the original base camp. How careful are you? The elbow is not so exaggerated. What are you doing? Even if Gongsun Zan does not have the force to attack from both sides, it is a big threat!

Looking back, these people found that it was Guo Jia who said this! Not to mention that Guo Jia's semi-requited refuge has made people lack trust in him, just talking about his experience of undercover Dong Ying, but now that he said such words, it is hard to guarantee that he had secretly surrendered to Gongsun Zan and became Gongsun Zan's undercover in Yuan Shao's camp!

"Impossible! Absolutely not!"

"What kind of intention do you have?"

"Lord, this person can't trust him!"

The scene started to quarrel.

Yuan Shao waved his hand to block these people's words. Although it might be just superficial, this is also a major advantage of Yuan Shao. He respects other people's opinions and makes people speak freely, always looking humbly asking for advice and embrace all rivers.

Whether Yuan Shao listens or not is one thing, at least he always acts like he listens carefully. This alone is often enough to make people feel grateful.

"Let me talk about it first." Yuan Shao asked with some interest. Yuan Shao felt that Guo Jia should not be aimless, and no matter what, compared to others, Guo Jia finally proposed a different plan.

Guo Jia walked up unscrupulously, pointed to a rough map in the middle and said,

"The main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is currently in Taishan County and is facing stubborn resistance from Taishan Prefect Ying Shao. The Yellow Turban Army is a group of grassroots people. Now that they are struggling to advance and cannot be captured for a long time, they will definitely change their place."

As he said that, Guo Jia moved his finger to the vicinity of Bohai County.

"After our main force left Bohai and came to Jizhou, the Heishan army there is now a look of rising. So I speculate that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, which was frustrated in Taishan County, will definitely turn to the Bohai Sea and join the Heishan Army. In other words, in the near future, Bohai County will completely become a place of right and wrong. Our army is under great pressure to deal with Gongsun Zan, so there is no energy to distract from the alliance between the Yellow Turbans and the Heishan Army in Qingzhou!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia came to the conclusion.

"So, it's better to pretend to show kindness to Gongsun Zan and give Bohai County to him. At that time, Gongsun Zan will deal with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army there. In this way, we will have enough time to rectify our military and wait until the spring of the next year, and then raise our troops to counterattack!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, many people at the scene became speechless. As expected, Guo Jia's plan was a fool of himself, and he cedeed the land and seek peace on the surface, but in fact he gave him a disaster. It not only avoided the trouble of being plundered by the Yellow Turban thieves inside, but also distracted Gongsun Zan's attention and got the opportunity to be repaired. It is not a feasible solution.

"We will definitely doubt it if we openly send Bohai County out like this. What if he sees the problem, what if he doesn't accept it?" Shen Pei asked over there.

Guo Jia smiled,

"Of course it can't be so obvious. Instead, he gave Gongsun Zan's cousin Gongsun Fan the prefect of Bohai. When Gongsun Fan takes office in Bohai, he will immediately raise an army to rebel and echo his brother. At that time, the other party will definitely laugh at us as stupid and let them get such a big advantage for nothing."

"Hahahaha!" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun Chen and others couldn't help laughing. Not only was Guo Jia's funny, but he also saw the dawn of the future and gradually relaxed.
Chapter completed!
