The winds of change rise across the land.
Yuan Shao's actions are certainly not on a whim.
For him, among the surrounding regions of Youzhou, Yan Province, Qing Province, and Bingzhou State, only Lu Zhi of Qing Province has shown the most disrespect towards him.
—The gratitude gifts from Cao Cao have never ceased;
Although Gongsun Zan appears to have an ambiguous attitude towards him, Gongsun Zan now has Liu Yuu as an opponent.
As for Ding Yuan of Bingzhou State, although his reputation has been growing recently, and it's said he has fierce generals under his command,
Yuan Shao doesn't seem to care much.
How fierce can a fierce general be?
He has no shortage of great generals under his own command; what is there to fear?
Moreover, there is constant rebellion within Bingzhou State.
Ding Yuan has not even been able to resolve these rebel troops and is therefore of no concern.
