    While Yuan Fang was still deep in thought, Mi Huan had already cleared away all the dishes on the table.

    After eating, Mi Huan realized that his appetite was surprisingly large. Considering that he was a woman, it was really indecent to eat so much.

    "Xianzheng, I don't know why, but I always feel hungry now. I didn't expect to eat so much at once, and you didn't stop me." Mi Huan said sheepishly.

    Yuan Fang pulled away from his thoughts, held her hand and comforted her: "It's normal for you to eat more when you are pregnant. You can eat what you want, and don't worry about what to do."

    Mi Huan's embarrassment subsided slightly, but she stroked her belly and murmured with a smile: "After you said that, I seem to be a little hungry again"

    "Um?"

    After a while, another round of chicken, duck and fish was served.

    When the family banquet was getting lively, his disciple Zhuge Liang hurried over, holding a piece of silk information in his hand. The young man's face shone with a trace of solemnity.

    Looking at Zhuge Liang's expression, Yuan Fang suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

    As he approached, Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and said solemnly: "Master, Yuan Shao has finally sent his troops south."

    Although Zhuge Liang's voice was small, both Zhen Mi and Mi Huan could hear it. The two fell silent instantly and looked at Yuan Fang in unison.

    The expected thing finally happened.

    Yuan Fang, however, had no expression on his face. He calmly took the silk book from Zhuge Liang's hand and scanned it calmly and indifferently.

    Intelligence reports indicate that not long ago, Yuan Shao had raised an army of 200,000 men, set out from Yecheng, and marched southward in a mighty manner.

    There is no doubt that Yuan Shao came here for him, Yuan Fang.

    "Using all the troops to overwhelm the country, Yuan Shao is risking his life and wants to fight to the death with me." Yuan Fang sneered and threw the information in his hand on the case.

    Two hundred thousand troops!

    Incredible number, this huge number.  The beautiful faces of Mi Huan and Zhen Mi were shocked.

    Even Xiaocha, who doesn¡¯t understand military matters, was shocked by this number. His face changed suddenly and he gasped.

    "Show your integrity, Yuan Shao has raised an army of 200,000, and his strength is a bit scary." Zhen Mi said in a trembling voice.

    But Yuan Fang only smiled faintly: "Whether it's two hundred thousand or two million, it's just a number. There's nothing to be afraid of. You can continue to eat. You don't have to worry about military matters."

    Two hundred thousand enemy troops are so powerful.  Yuan Fang, however, regarded it as if it was nothing. His calmness and calmness made Zhen Mi feel a little at ease.

    Yuan Fang got up and left the inner palace, went straight to the main hall of Ba Mansion, and ordered to summon the civil and military personnel in Dingtao overnight to discuss countermeasures.

    Zhuge Liang did not dare to hesitate.  Soldiers were sent out urgently to summon all the civil and military officials.

    Soon, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Ju Yi, Tai Shi Ci, Hao Zhao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other civil and military officials rushed to the general's mansion one after another.

    In the lobby, torches were placed high in the trees, illuminating the entire lobby.

    Zhu Wen and Wu Su were listed on the left and right, all of them looked solemn. They all knew the news of Yuan Shao's southward journey.  Everyone knows what this military discussion tonight means.

    Looking around, all the civil and military personnel have gathered.

    Yuan Fang cleared his throat and said loudly: "You should all know the news that Yuan Shao has sent an army of 200,000 to the south. I have called you here now to let you speak freely. We will discuss strategies to defeat the enemy."

    After receiving Yuan Fang's personal confirmation, the generals' nerves became tense and their emotions became high.

    "Ah Liang, let me tell you Yuan Shao's specific military situation first." Yuan Fang glanced at Zhuge Liang.

    Zhuge Liang then hung up the map and explained in detail the enemy's situation.

    For this battle, Yuan Shao mobilized an army of about 200,000 from Youji and the three states, including more than 20,000 cavalry, all of whom were Youji's elite cavalry.

    In addition, generals such as Wen Chou, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan, and Han Meng, counselors such as Ju Sue, Xu You, Feng Ji, and Xin Ping, as well as his eldest son Yuan Tan, all accompanied the army in the southern expedition.

    " Yuan Shang and Shen Pei stayed in Yecheng.

    According to the intelligence, Yuan Shao¡¯s army went south from Yecheng, and its route should be towards Liyang, an important town on the north coast.

    Based on this, it is deduced that Yuan Shao's advance direction was to forcefully cross the Yellow River from Liyang and seize Baima City at the south bank ferry. Then he would either send his troops east to attack Puyang, or go south from Baima and rush directly towards Dingtao City.

    Yuan Shao¡¯s route south is roughly similar to the historical Battle of Guandu, except that in history, Yuan Shao went towards Xudu, but now, Yuan Shao is heading towards Dingtao.

    ???????????????????????????Due to the change in attack targets, Yuan Shao's civil and military team had fewer Yan Liang and Tian Feng than in history. Both of them became Yuan Fang's right-hand men.

    The most important difference is that Yuan Shao unified Hebei earlier. The population of the three states in Hebei was reduced less than in history, bringing its military strength to 200,000, which was more than twice the number in the Battle of Guandu.

    Although Yuan Fang's strength is less than that of Cao Cao in history, he occupies one less Yuzhou and half of Sizhou, but in fact his strength is higher than that of Cao Cao.

    Historically, Cao Cao¡¯s main source of troops and food was actually only the two states of Yan and Yu. Although the two states of Qing and Xu were called his territory, they were actually under the semi-independent control of Zang Ba and other powerful Qing and Xu states.

    Now the situation is different. Qingxu is the place where Yuan Fang made his fortune and is firmly in his hands. He also captured Yanzhou with blood and fire, and his control is also extremely stable.

    Therefore, Yuan Fang actually controls the three states and can enjoy the soldiers, food and grass of the three states.

    As for the newly captured land of Huainan, it had just been traumatized by the war and it would be enough not to cause any drag on Yuan Fang. In fact, it could not provide any help.

    "Although Yuan Shao has an army of 200,000, his army is not as sophisticated as ours. There are internal factional struggles and many contradictions. Our army has an army of 100,000 that can be used to compete head-on. We should be able to fight with them." Tian  Fengxin said.

    Yuan Fang nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

    Yuan Fang is very clear about the struggle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. He knows very well that Yuan Shao's subordinates, Xu You, Ju Sue, and Feng Ji, are named Yuan Shao's service, but in fact they all have their own agendas, which will seriously weaken the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shao's army.  .

    On the other hand, Yuan Fang himself is united in civil and military affairs. There are no factional disputes. It can be said that he is monolithic.

    As for the source of troops, after surrendering the Huainan Army, plus the previous prisoners and new soldiers, Yuan Fang's total military strength should be around 130,000 to 40,000.

    But Yuan Fang is different from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has no future troubles and can concentrate all his efforts to go south, but he has to defend against Sun Ce in the south, Cao Cao in the west, and Zhang Yang in Hanoi in Luoyang.

    With troops divided into three sides, Yuan Fang could only have a hundred thousand troops for a head-on battle with Yuan Shao.

    "One hundred thousand versus two hundred thousand, it doesn't seem like an exaggeration to describe the huge disparity in military strength.

    It¡¯s just that Yuan Fang¡¯s army is as disciplined as a mountain and his troops are trained rigorously. His officers and men are elite soldiers who have fought against many princes and were trained with blood and fire.

    On the other hand, although Yuan Shao's soldiers were large in number, they actually only fought against Gongsun Zan. In terms of combat effectiveness and discipline, they were inferior to Yuan Fang's soldiers.

    This is how Yuan Fang dares to fight against Yuan Shao when he is outnumbered.

    ¡°Moreover, Yuan Fang implemented farming many years in advance and has sufficient reserves of grain and grass, which is much better than Cao Cao who was short of food in history. This is where his confidence lies.

    The only thing I'm worried about is Yuan Shao's 20,000 cavalry.

    "I'm afraid Yuan Shao's 20,000 cavalry will be difficult to deal with." Before Yuan Fang could speak, Gao Shun had already expressed his concerns.

    At the mention of the 20,000 cavalry, the generals secretly took a breath.

    That¡¯s 20,000 cavalry. Even in Xiliang, where cavalry is the main force, they are definitely a powerful force.

    Yuan Shao originally did not have that many cavalry, but after he captured You and merged the two states, he obtained Ma Yuan. Together with the recruitment of Gongsun Zan's cavalry troops, the number of his cavalry exploded to 20,000 in a short period of time.

    On the other hand, Yuan Fang is located in the Central Plains, and the only way to bring war horses to the Yuan Dynasty is to take the sea route and buy horses from Gongsun Du of Liaodong.

    Over the years, he has purchased thousands of war horses off and on, and has suffered losses in major and small battles. The number of cavalry available under his command is actually only more than 4,000.

    Four thousand cavalry versus twenty thousand cavalry, five times the number, the gap in cavalry is even greater than that in infantry.

    "There is nothing to be afraid of with a small number of cavalry. Don't forget, Yuan Shao is the most arrogant person. Now he is marching south with an army of 200,000. He thinks he has absolute strength and can easily crush us. He must be arrogant. We can  Use his underestimation to weaken his troops as much as possible, and when his energy is exhausted, use a clever trick to launch a fatal blow, and you will definitely win!"

    After finishing the bottle of wine, Guo Jia changed from his casual state and spoke loudly in an excited tone.

    The expressions of the generals were shocked, their frowns gradually relaxed, and their silent aura began to burn.

    Snapped!

    Yuan Fang slapped the table fiercely, looked around at the generals, and said proudly: "Back then, I started with only two thousand weak soldiers, but I was able to achieve what I am today. Now I have a hundred thousand strong soldiers, and you and other heroes are helping me. How can I be afraid of Yuan Shao? You guys.  If you dare to fight alongside me, this old dog, Yuan Shao, will never come back!"

    The passion for hunting aroused the emotions of the generals, and the fighting spirit surged like a storm in the tent.

    "WishFight to the death with the Lord!  "

    "Let Yuan Shao never come back."

    "If you fight hard, the worst possible outcome is death!"

    The fighting spirit of the generals soared, each roaring with generosity and murderous intent, almost bursting the hall.

    At present, all the generals are brave and fearless. Yuan Fang feels relieved, his fists are secretly clenched, and his confidence is even stronger.

    At this point, there was nothing left to doubt. Yuan Fang immediately ordered the troops to assemble and immediately set off to march north to fight Yuan Shao to the death.

    This military meeting ended with generosity. Just when Yuan Fang was about to break up the meeting, his own soldiers rushed in and delivered the latest information to Yuan Fang.

    Yuan Fang lowered his eyebrows, and a hint of disgust suddenly flashed in his razor-like eyes.

    "We came to report from Hanoi. Just when Yuan Shao's army was setting off, Guan Yu had killed Zhang Yang and surrendered a county in Hanoi to Yuan Shao." Yuan Fang loudly announced the news to the public.

    Guan Yu, kill Zhang Yang and surrender to Yuan Shao?

    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned around and looked at Zhang Fei in unison.

    "Guan Yu¡ª¡ª"

    At this moment, Zhang Fei clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
