Guo Tu's face turned blue in an instant, his eyes were filled with anger, and he stared at Shi Tao fiercely.

Shi Tao felt a little regretful and his heart was pounding. Has he played it? What if Guo Tu turned his face and wanted to kill me?

At that moment, Guo Tu really wanted to kill Shi Tao. He not only wanted to kill Shi Tao, but also wanted to kill Guo Jia. The son was crazy and rebellious. Do you dare to say such words? Exit me out of the Guo family in Yangdi, you are the main corporations? You dare to think about it. But after all, he is a strategist, and he knows Guo Jia's nature well. He knows that Guo Jia will not discuss such family affairs with him at this time. He must have other intentions. Killing someone in anger will only fall into his plan.

This attempt is not difficult to guess. With Guo Tu's wisdom, he almost understood Guo Jia's idea in a blink of an eye. If he killed Shi Tao, he would not only break the rules of fighting between the two armies and offend Yingchuan Township Party, but also become the culprit for destroying prisoners. In order to calm the public, Yuan Shao might have killed him and apologized to the soldiers.

You are a bit too much for your filial piety.

"The winner is not decided, it is unknown who is secretly cast. Is it too early for him to say this now?" Guo Tuqiang smiled calmly, reached out to invite Shi Tao to the tent. He decided that he must not let Shi Tao say anything outside the tent anymore. He came prepared and every sentence hidden murderous intent.

Shi Tao calmly entered the tent, and Guo Tu invited Yuan Shao into the tent, and at the same time sent someone to invite Ju Su to appease the generals. Most of the people who were eager to redeem were Jizhou generals, and were mainly from Jinan. Everyone knew what these people were like to stand here, and they were as angry as adding fuel to the fire and were out of control. The people who suffered heavy losses in this battle were all from southern Jinan, and the people in northern Jinan did not even catch Zhanshan, and the losses were only a handful. Yuan Shao refused to redeem the prisoners, but the people in northern Jinan and Yingchuan were in a slew of their relationship.

Shen Pei committed suicide, Tian Feng was not here, and now Ju Shu was the only one who could appease these people.

Yuan Shao also understood this, so his emotions were particularly bad. He also realized how big the gap between his factions was. Even Sun Ce and Guo Jia knew it clearly. Shi Tao's light words lifted the crack that he had finally bridged was bloody. Sitting in the big tent and facing Shi Tao, he was so angry that he didn't want to talk to Shi Tao at all.

Shi Tao was not in a hurry, and presented the document and sat quietly. His main task had actually been completed. Now it depends on how Yuan Shao dealt with it, so as to observe what kind of mood Yuan Shao and his civil and military officials were in, and whether they had the courage to fight.

Guo Tu was angry when he looked at Shi Tao. After handing over the documents, he asked someone to take Shi Tao to a tent beside him to rest and take strict supervision, so he was not allowed to enter and exit casually. Shi Tao went out, and the big tent was empty, Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu. "What should I do?"

"As for the plan," Guo Tu was silent for a while, and then said, "We must fight, otherwise the people of southern Jilin will probably refuse to retreat."

Yuan Shao sighed. He would not be able to leave without a fight. Even if the people of southern Jilin were willing to leave, he would not believe the people of southern Jilin. If they fight, they would either defeat Sun Ce and reverse the outcome, or use Sun Ce's sword to damage the people of southern Jilin again, causing them to completely lose the power of resistance.

Ju Su was pacifying the generals in various battalions, and his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking, but he had little effect. He heard that Sun Ce's envoy was coming, and Yuan Shao summoned him, so he had to hurry back to the central army tent. After reading the official documents, he thought about it and felt that he could only fight with Sun Ce. Redemption could not be redeemed, and money, food, or war horses were all important strategic materials. There was no reason to cut off the flesh and make money and capital for the enemy. He could not redeem it or ignore it, so he had to take it back with force. Since the prisoners were captured on the battlefield, they should still win it back on the battlefield, and the blood debt could only be paid for it in blood.

Shen Ying and others had no reason to refuse, they could only express their bloody battle to the end and avenge their shame with blood.

Yuan Shao finally agreed to Guo Tu and Ju Su's suggestion, gave Sun Ce a letter of war, and asked him to fight in Guandu to decide the outcome.

Shi Tao held the war book with regret. He told Yuan Shao that it is unwise for you to do this, and you will only lose even worse, and even lose the last glimmer of life. Yuan Shao's face turned pale and wished he could just slash him with one knife.

After seeing off Shi Tao, Yuan Shao summoned the generals to discuss matters, arranged troops, and prepared to fight to the death with Sun Ce.

——

Shi Tao was not busy when he came, but when he returned, he was whipping his horse, wishing he could grow his wings. It took only an hour to rush back to Zhu Zhanshan. He could feel Yuan Shao's hatred soaring into the sky, for fear that Yuan Shao would regret it, so he sent someone to chase him.

After reading Yuan Shao's war letter and listening to Shi Tao's report, Sun Ce and Guo Jia were very satisfied. Yuan Shao had to fight, so things would be much easier. They could calmly dispatch troops and fight with Yuan Shao. He could afford to wait, but Yuan Shao could not. The longer he waited, the more unfavorable it was for Yuan Shao. It would be better to wait until Gan Ning and others led the navy into the Yellow River, occupied Baimajin, and cut off Yuan Shao's retreat.

Guandu is still Guandu, but the initiative has changed hands. Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shao with 100,000 troops, and he is not Cao Cao who has neither reinforcements nor food and grass. Of course, he does not dare to be careless. After all, in terms of military forces, Yuan Shao has obvious advantages, and it is not impossible for a turnaround. The closer he is to victory, the more he should be cautious and be cautious.

After repeated discussions, Sun Ce decided to fight slowly and not rush to fight against Yuan Shao, but to fight step by step and steadily. The advantage of time is on his side. His subordinates are full of production, and no matter how long they fight, they will not affect production. However, Yuan Shao's subordinates are both farming and fighting, and are mainly a family. These people are fighting outside, which will inevitably affect farming. The longer they drag, the more anxious they are.

The only disadvantages are the hot weather and abundant rain in summer, but these have a greater impact on Yuan Shao.

Sun Ce sent someone to reply to Yuan Shao, "The decisive battle is OK, but don't worry, I still have some things to deal with, such as the more than 10,000 prisoners, I have to send them to Jiangnan to farm first, and I can't keep them in vain. Secondly, I have to confirm that they are safe and cannot be ambushed by you. Finally, I have to prepare some food. After defeating you, thousands of prisoners will have to eat, and I must be prepared.

In short, don't worry, wash your neck and wait for me.

Yuan Shao received the news and was so angry that he was exposed to thunder, but he had no choice.

A few days later, Chen Wu heard news that Huang Wan came forward to persuade the defenders of Xiangcheng. Ju Hu and his personal guards were out of the city. They were missing, and they should have returned to Hebei. They selected three thousand Danyang soldiers from the defenders, met Quanrou, a total of more than 7,000 people, and were rushing to the battlefield with food.

Then, Lu Dai and Lu Meng also heard news that they had arrived at Junyi and met with Sun Jian and were about to launch an attack on Zhen Yan. After repelling Zhen Yan, they would go westward to cooperate with Sun Ce in the battle.

At the same time, Huang Zhong also heard from news that the military farm soldiers who were left behind in Luoyang surrendered, Chenggao Xingyang went downstairs when they heard the wind. They were advancing east along the Honggu and could arrive at the battlefield within five days.
