    "Youzhou is really lost? Brother, you didn't lie to me?" Yuan Tan confirmed again.

    When Yuan Shao went on the expedition, he originally intended to hand over the affairs of the base camp to Yuan Shang.

    But with the efforts of Guo Tu and Xin Ping, Yuan Tan was able to take charge.

    For Yuan Tan, this is an opportunity to impress Yuan Shao.

    Therefore, Yuan Tan worked very hard, doing everything down to the smallest detail, and forgetting to eat and sleep, just to take care of the territory.

    ????Yuan Shao has always liked his younger son Yuan Shang.  Because Yuan Shang was good-looking and his mother was beautiful, Yuan Shao loved him deeply.

    Yuan Tan has no advantages except being the eldest son.

    If Guo Tu and Xin Ping hadn't begged and persuaded Yuan Shao on grounds such as establishing the elder rather than the young, Yuan Tan would have never had a chance.

    I finally waited for this opportunity, but something like this happened.

    Youzhou is lost!

    You know, Yuan Shao worked hard, but he only owned two states.  Now that I have lost half of my territory, how can I explain it to my father?

    Although Yuan Xi is the governor of Youzhou, Yuan Tan, as the "prince", has an unshirkable responsibility.

    Yuan Shao didn¡¯t like this son very much to begin with

    Furthermore, for this position as chief, Guo Tu paid a huge price, that is, allowing Shen Pei and Feng Ji to take over the northern and southern camps originally commanded by Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

    A full 200,000 people!

    Although Yuan Shao mobilized most of his troops to support Yanzhou, Guo Tu gave up all the troops in Jizhou.

    Shen Pei and Feng Ji are both Yuan Shang's people.

    The current situation in Jizhou is that Yuan Tan is in charge of political affairs and Yuan Shang is in charge of military affairs.

    Yuan Shao is impartial.

    However, Guo Tu and others believed that Yuan Shao was in good health now and had too many taboos in holding military power, so they gave Yuan Tan a good position to make friends with officials in Jizhou.

    "Brother, the Yangzhou army is too cunning, and let Gongsun Kang come out to confuse me. I accepted the money and refused to retreat!" Yuan Xidao.

    "Okay, no need to explain!" Yuan Tan said irritably.

    Yuan Xi felt very unhappy. After all, I am also your brother. You don¡¯t comfort me, but you still yell at me!

    ¡°Besides, can you blame him for the fall of Youzhou?

    He only has 20,000 troops!

    There are enough enemiestens of thousands!

    Yuan Tan looked at his unsatisfied brother and couldn't say any words of blame. He simply waved his hand and told Yuan Xi to go down, out of sight.

    "Go and invite Gongze here." Yuan Tan said to the bodyguard.

    In this situation, we can only ask Guo Tu for advice.

    With one careless move, he could lose everything. Yuan Tan did not dare to be careless.

    Guo Tu came in a hurry. In order to assist Yuan Tan, he did not follow Yuan Shao on the expedition.

    "Young Master, why are you so anxious?"

    Yuan Tan recounted it again, feeling helpless throughout.

    Guo Tu's face turned gloomy for a moment, and he suggested: "Now Jizhou has insufficient troops. 50,000 regular troops are in the hands of Yuan Shang, and we only have 30,000 defenders. With such a force, it is not enough to defend all parts of Jizhou. We can only guard dangerous passes and important places."  city."

    "Shrink the defense line?" Yuan Tan is not very proficient in military affairs.

    "Yes, the young master will send someone immediately to inform the lord." Guo Tu said.

    Yuan Tan hesitated to speak.

    "Young Master, now is not the time to be impulsive. Such a big thing cannot be hidden from the Lord. Yuan Shang's people will definitely report the matter, so why not let us polish it up. After all, Yuan Xi is the most responsible." Guo Tudao.

    Yuan Tan suddenly understood that Yuan Xi was going to take the blame!

    Of course, Yuan Tan does not need to do this himself, he can just instruct a civil servant.

    "The next step is the key." Guo Tu said solemnly, "Before the lord comes back, Jizhou cannot allow any losses."

    "What should I do?" Yuan Tan asked eagerly.

    "Young Master can give a direct order and order Yuan Shang to lead one of the two battalions in the north and south to resist the Yangzhou Army in the north." Guo Tu said wisely.

    "A battalion has only more than 20,000 troops, how can it resist hundreds of thousands of people?" Yuan Tan said.

    As for why the other battalion was not mobilized, of course it was because it had to defend the direction of Qingzhou.

    Although Qingzhou does not have a main battle regiment, it has a hundred thousand defenders, which should not be underestimated.

    "This is none of our business. After all, military power is in the hands of Mr. Yuan Shang. If we lose,, he has the responsibility, and if he wins, the young master has done a good job in defending his territory.  "Guo Tu said seriously.

    "Okay, let's do it like this!" Yuan Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had a plan to deal with it.

    As for whether Yuan Shang will accept such an order, it is not within the scope of Yuan Tan's consideration.

    If Yuan Shang dares to disobey, a big pot will be thrown directly on his head.

    "Young Master, we cannot relax yet. We should summon the strong men in the city to form a temporary militia to prepare for emergencies." Guo Tu said.

    To put it simply, it is to catch strong men.

    "Okay." Yuan Tan agreed and ordered his men to get started on the matter.

    With Guo Tu¡¯s help, Yuan Tan¡¯s response became more organized.

    " And Yuan Xi was uneasy when he left the government. He could see Yuan Tan's expression clearly. He didn't want to be the scapegoat, so he found Yuan Shang.

    Compared to Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are closer.

    "Brother, you must help me this time!" Yuan Xi shouted kindly, a bit coquettishly.

    To Yuan Tan, he was the younger brother, but to Yuan Shang, he became the older brother.

    After hearing the cause and effect, Yuan Shang knew that he could not escape this disaster, and quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, I will write to my father right away."

    After saying that, Yuan Shang began to write vigorously, and after finishing, he read it to Yuan Xi.

    Because some confessions have to be matched.

    In the letter, Yuan Xi had a battle of wits and courage with Chen Deng of the Yangzhou Army. Because Yuan Tan did not discover the enemy in time, Yuan Xi was defeated.

    When Yuan Xi saw it, he was extremely happy and praised his younger brother endlessly.

    ¡°Brother, please give me more support in the future.¡± Yuan Shang said with a smile.

    "Absolutely!" Yuan Xi agreed.

    After sending Yuan Xi away, Yuan Shang's smile stopped. Feng Ji and Shen Pei were not around, and he had no right-hand assistant around him to discuss.

    But even if you think about it, Yuan Tan will definitely push the problem to him.

    After all, Yuan Shang was in charge of the military power in Jizhou. When he thought of this, Yuan Shang was itching with hatred and hurried to Fengji Station.

    "Why are you here, Master?" Feng Ji was shocked.

    "Youzhou is lost." Yuan Shang did not hide anything, he said it in detail.

    "The task of resisting the Yangzhou Army will definitely fall on the young master." Feng Ji said with certainty.

    "That's why I came to see you, sir, to come up with a countermeasure before Yuan Tan's order was issued." Yuan Shangdao.

    "We cannot refuse this order. We will both prosper and lose. Jizhou cannot be lost." Feng Jidao.

    How could Yuan Shang not understand? He was just unwilling to do so.

    "However, we can strive for more troops." He thought about it and said, "Yuan Tan can send defenders to support the young master, or allow the use of the second battalion, and leave the defense of the south to Yuan Tan."

    "What a good idea!" Yuan Shang said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
