Chapter two hundred and sixty-four disaster is imminent
It was incredible to say that the drunken Grand Duke Yuan San was not awakened by Ju Su with cold water until the fifth and third moments, which was after 4:30 in the morning. After waking up, the dizzy Grand Duke Yuan San saw Ju Su standing beside his bed with a bucket, and howling like a pig: "Bold Ju Guangping, what do you want to do? Why do you splash water with me? Do you want to kill your master?!"
Of course, Ju Su could not kill the master. If he killed the master, he would not only pour cold water. In short, he finally woke up the Grand Yuan Sangong. Ju Su didn't even have time to apologize for the lord's water. He pulled Grand Yuan Sangong up and walked out of the tent. Grand Yuan Sangong, who was still dizzy, struggled and shouted, questioning again whether Ju Su planned to kill the master. However, Ju Su only used one sentence to make Grand Yuan Sangong completely quiet, "Lord, Wu Chao was attacked, and the direction of Wu Chao was full of fire, and you can still see clearly between more than twenty miles!"
"Really or false?" The Grand Duke of Yuan San took a lot of effort to react and exclaimed: "Did you misreport the horse? How could Wuchao be attacked by the enemy forty miles behind our army?"
Time is urgent, Ju Su can only pull Da Yuan Sangong to the big tent while explaining the whole story to Da Yuan Sangong on the road. In addition, it is reported that there had been scouts coming to report, and the direction of Wuchao was already full of fire. It was confirmed that it was attacked by the enemy. The murderer was basically sure that it was the self-army cavalry that pretended to be Han Meng's team to Wuchao... When Da Yuan Sangong heard this, he was not only scared and sweated, but also shouted at Ju Su: "For such a big thing, why don't you wake me up early?"
"Lord, I have called you for three hours, and I have called you for three hours!" Ju Su shouted for justice, "But lord, you are always intoxicated, and I am forced to helplessly, so I can't wake you up with cold water!"
"Then why didn't you splash me awake with water earlier?" The Grand Duke of Yuan San was also very good at finding the air bag and just yelled at Ju Su, "If Wu Chao is in trouble, it will be your fault!"
"Lord, let's send troops to save Wuchao first." Ju Su said helplessly: "What's the rest? What will happen if you save Wuchao?" Grand Duke Yuan San thought about it and roared again, and then rushed to the big tent to raise the tent and ordered the troops. At the same time, he ordered the civil and military officials to quickly summon the civil and military officials to discuss how to rescue Wuchao.
The Grand Duke Yuan was really overestimated the alcohol tolerance of some civil and military officials. After the order was conveyed, only Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Yuan Tan, Zhang He and Gao Lan and other a few civil and military officials came to the tent one after another. Most of the others reported that they had not woken up from being drunk. The Grand Duke Yuan was furious and immediately ordered to use water to wake up these civil and military generals. Ju Sue wiped his sweat and said quickly: "Lord, everyone else can talk about it slowly. Now we should send troops to rescue Wuchao immediately, right? My minister suggested that the lord should send Zhang He quickly, and the two generals Gao Lan led the light cavalry to Wuchao to rescue."
"I will wait until I wish to go."
Zhang He and Gao Lan also volunteered to go to Wuchao to rescue him, but Mr. Guo Tu jumped out and said quickly: "Lord, no, Cao's army robbed food, and Cao's thieves will inevitably go in person. Since Cao's thieves came out, the camp must be empty, so you can force troops to attack Cao's thieves first. When Cao heard about it, he must return quickly. This is Sun Bin's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
"Nonsense!" Ju Su was so angry that he even raised his beard and shouted, "You still have the face to talk about military tactics. Do you even understand the saying that you are putting it to death and then live? The Cao thief sneak attacks Wuchao, which is his only chance to turn defeat into victory. Don't you say that you take the opportunity to attack Guandu camp. Even if you send troops to attack Xuchang, Cao thief will not give up attacking Wuchao!"
"Mr. Ju Su's words are reasonable." Zhang He, who was very smart, agreed: "Besides, Cao's thieves are resourceful, and they must be prepared when going out. Guandu camp is extremely strong and extremely difficult to launch an urgent task. It is not only difficult to capture the attack, but also delay the military opportunity and delay time. However, with the current plan, our army can only make every effort to rescue Wuchao."
"You are the nonsense people who talk nonsense, right?" Guo Tu also said angrily: "Zhang Junyi, you don't interfere. Guandu is the foundation of Cao's thieves. If our army takes the opportunity to break through Guandu, the Cao's thieves will attack Wuchao, and it will be easy to break. Moreover, Guandu camp is solid. If the main force of Cao's thieves is defending in the camp, it will be extremely difficult for our army to break through. Now that the main force of Cao's thieves has emerged, it is a god-given opportunity for our army to break through Guandu. If we miss this opportunity, our army will try to break through Wuchao again, and how many soldiers will be killed or killed!"
"Father, Mr. Gongze is right." Yuan Tan stood up to his best friend and said, "General Wuchao Chunyu Qiong has 30,000 defenders, which is enough to resist Cao's thieves' sneak attack on the troops. Our army should seize the opportunity and attack Guandu with all its might."
The internal discord once again made great trouble for the Grand Duke Yuan Sangong. The Grand Duke Yuan Sangong, who was the worst at making decisions, was already indecisive. When he heard these completely opposite suggestions, he was inevitably even more hesitant and difficult to decide, saying: "What you said has a reason, I really mean it... I really make me embarrassed, this..."
After hesitating, the Grand Duke of Yuan suddenly glanced at Xun Chen who was standing on the other side and asked, "Mr. Youruo, what are your intentions?"
"Minister..." Xun Chen, who agreed with the advice of Jushu, was even more embarrassed. Just as he was about to persuade the Grand Duke Yuan San to immediately rescue Wuchao, he saw Mr. Yuan Tan looking at him coldly. In order not to attract the siege of Mr. Yuan Tan's party, Xun Chen had to change his mind and said, "Lord, Mr. Ze and Mr. Guangping are right. Fortunately, our army has many soldiers, so the lord may as well divide the troops into two groups, send infantry to attack Guandu and rescue Zhao, seize the opportunity to break through Cao's camp, and send light cavalry to rescue Guandu to ensure that."
"Mr. Youruo's words are exactly what I want." The Third Duke of Yuan applauded and hurriedly shouted to Zhang He. Gao Lan: "Zhang He, Gao Lan, you two can lead 10,000 infantry to attack Guandu. On the other side of Wuchao, I will send a light cavalry to rescue him!"
"No." Zhang He and Gao Lan agreed helplessly, took the order and hurriedly sent troops. Yuan Tan over there wanted to ask for an order to save Wuchao, but Guo Tu quietly pulled Mr. Yuan Tan to stop him, and then bowed to the Grand Duke of Yuan San and said, "Lord, General Wen Chou is good at commanding the cavalry. General Han Meng, the grain protection officer, is familiar with the situation in Wuchao. Tu suggests that the lord can send these two people to lead the cavalry to rescue Wuchao."
When the Grand Duke of Yuan was very satisfied, he immediately ordered Wen Chou and Han Meng to come to the tent to receive the order. Guo Tuze explained to Mr. Yuan Tan afterwards: "The fire is everywhere in the sky, and our army's food and grass must have suffered more or less losses. If the young master personally leads troops to rescue Wuchao, no matter how much food and grass is lost, it will inevitably make the lord furious. The blame must not be taken by the young master or our own people, but only Yuan Shang's people will be taken by the people." Mr. Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly praised Mr. Guo Tu for his carefulness and far-sightedness.
After all this trouble, when Wen Chou and Han Meng finally woke up, they took their lives, and gathered tens of thousands of cavalry out of the battalion to rescue him, it was already halfway through the morning and it was already dark. At the same time, it was after Wen Chou and Han Meng led their troops out of the battalion that the Grand Duke of Yuan reluctantly let go of his heart and began to inquire about the details of the situation last night from Ju Su. When Ju Su introduced that Zhao Yun was the first to find the abnormal situation and then led his army to rescue him, the Grand Duke of Yuan could not help but nodded again and said, "Okay, Zi Long is a general with both wisdom and courage. If he led his army to rescue him first, I have no worries."
"Father, there is something about Zhao Yun, the child is reporting." Mr. Yuan Tan suddenly stood up and bowed and said, "I heard that General Zhao Yun had already discovered an unknown cavalry to Wuchao before yesterday's hour of Hai. However, for some reason, Zhao Yun did not report to his father immediately. He deliberately delayed his father's death and drank drunk. Then he reported this to Mr. Ju Su. He didn't know what the intention was. He asked his father to investigate it in depth."
"There is still this?" Grand Duke Yuan San was furious when he heard this and quickly asked Ju Su, "Ju Su, is this really the case?"
"This is the case." Ju Su nodded, and saw the face of the Grand Three Lord Yuan's angry expression, Ju Su quickly added: "Lord, the Grand Prince is not completely correct. Although General Zilong did find an army in a hurry to Wuchao around the hour of Hai, the army was attacking our army's flag, and the patrol soldiers in General Zilong's army saw the team from afar. After returning to the camp, they informed General Zilong, so General Zilong failed to report the news to the lord in time."
The Grand Duke Yuan's face finally slowed down a little. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan Tan suddenly said: "Mr. Ju Su, is this really the case? Why did I still hear that the team of Cao thieves disguised as our army answered our army's night travel orders when passing through our army's separate camps? Who leaked the night travel orders from our army?"
"I am investigating this matter." Ju Su replied: "Please rest assured by the lord and the eldest son. Ju Su will definitely find out the truth about this matter and give him an explanation."
"Mr. Guangping, Tu thinks you should check Zhao Yun first." Guo Tu stood up and sneered.
"Why?" Ju Su asked furiously: "Zilong is both loyal and righteous. He was the first to discover an abnormality and the first to lead his troops to Wuchao for reinforcements. For this reason, he was willing to risk being punished by the lord. His suspicion was the least, so why should he investigate him first?"
"It was because he was the first to discover an abnormality and the first to lead his troops to Wuchao that he was the most suspicious!"
Mr. Guo Tu answered loudly, then turned to Grand Duke Yuan San, and said louder: "Lord, don't you think there is something strange? Yesterday evening, the lord announced that Zhao Yun came to the tent to drink. Zhao Yun used the excuse that he accidentally didn't dare to drink too much. He only drank a glass of wine from the lord and left. Then he was the first to find an abnormality and led his army to Wuchao. This happened, was it a coincidence that it seemed to have been arranged in advance?"
The third prince of Yuan began to show suspicion on his face, and Ju Su quickly said loudly: "I know the reason why Zilong refused to drink. He saw that most of the generals of our army were drunk, so he did not dare to accompany the lord to drink. He found an excuse to stay awake and return to the camp to preside over the night defense of the camp!"
"So Zhao Yun is indeed pretending!"
Mr. Yuan Tan screamed in surprise, then quickly turned to Yuan Sangong and bowed and said, "Father, this is a coincidence? Zhao Yun happened to find an excuse to refuse to accompany his father to have a banquet. He happened to be the first to find an abnormality, and even more happened to be the first to lead his army to Wuchao. It would be best if Wuchao could be saved. If there is something in Wuchao... wouldn't it be even more coincidental?"
The suspicious expression on the face of the Great Yuan Sangong was even more intense, but Ju Su was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted: "Zilong is a crime to do his duty. Do you have to be like you, not knowing that one by one is drunk and dreaming and death is coming, so you don't have any doubts?"
As soon as this said, the Grand Prince Yuan's angrily gaze turned to Ju Su immediately. Ju Su was shocked and hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord, forgive the crime, the minister was anxious and lost his words. But Zilong is indeed loyal to the lord. I hope the lord can distinguish right from wrong and make clear aware of Zhongji. Don't hurt the loyal minister's heart."
The face of the Grand Duke of Yuan slowed down a little. After a heavy snorkeling, the Grand Duke of Yuan said coldly: "If Zilong can save Wuchao, I will naturally reward him heavily. If he can't save Wuchao..., Humph!"
Ju Su didn't dare to continue speaking, but just lowered his head and prayed secretly: "May God bless Wuchao, Zilong, and..., I, 300,000 soldiers in Jizhou."
The god of the Jizhou Army obviously did not go to work today. In the next period of time, the bad news kept flying like snowflakes. First, Zhang He and Gao Lan were ambushed by Cao's army when they attacked Cao's camp and were forced to ask for help from the camp. The Grand Duke of Yuan was furious and was forced to increase troops, he ordered Zhang He and Gao Lan to take down Guandu, otherwise the military law would be carried out! Then there was news that the fire in Wuchao increased. Even in the Wangmobiezhai camp, which was thirty miles away from Wuchao, you could clearly see the thick smoke in the direction of Wuchao, forcing Grand Duke of Yuan to send another 10,000 more troops to Wuchao. Yuan Shao's army's morale began to panic. Rumors broke out in the army, and all the generals and soldiers were frightened.
It was also taking advantage of the moment when the Grand Yuan Sangong was anxious that the Grand Yuan Sangong finally reported to Grand Yuan Sangong that Zhao Yun had speared Lu Xiang, and insisted that Lu Xiang discovered that Zhao Yun's team was carrying something that caused fire, and wanted to force it through the defense area of Lu Xiang's camp. When he went forward for routine interrogation, he was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun without saying anything. Grand Yuan Sangong was even more furious when he heard the news and immediately summoned the generals sent to Lu Xiang's camp to report the news. Lu Xiang's deputy naturally belonged to the Grand Yuan Tan camp, and of course he had a confession with Prince Yuan Tan, saying that Zhao Yun's army had something that caused fire, and the march speed was not very fast. He also intentionally said that Zhao Yun's arrival in Lu Xiang's other village was nearly an hour later, which made Grand Yuan Sangong even more furious and scolded Zhao Yun for intentionally delaying the military opportunity.
The most fatal blow to Zhao Yun was the report of General Chunyu Qiong. In order to shirk responsibility and reduce the charges, Chunyu Qiong first sent his confidant soldiers to report to Da Yuan Sangong, saying that Zhao Yun deliberately missed the military opportunity while rescuing Wuchao. When General Chunyu Qiong was still fighting to resist Cao's army in the camp, Zhao Yun deliberately kept his troops five miles away from Wuchao and lined up in the south. Not only did he not rush to Wuchao to rescue immediately, but he seemed to have the intention of intercepting Yuan Shao's reinforcements for Cao's army!
By the way, in addition to sending his confidant to the Grand Duke of Yuan Sangong, General Chunyu Qiong was extremely clever to ask his confidant to send a letter to Mr. Yuan Tan and Mr. Guo Tu, in which he expressed his loyalty to Mr. Yuan Tan, and begged Mr. Yuan Tan to lend a helping hand and help him, and he would definitely make a fuss in the future to repay Mr. Yuan Tan's great kindness and virtue. The loyalty of General Chunyu Qiong, who was once ranked as the eighth school captain of Xiyuan with Mr. Yuan Sangong, was inevitably very moved and began to weigh the interests.
It is conceivable that the grand Yuan Sangong was angry when he heard Chunyu Qiong's false accusation. In addition, the party of Prince Yuan Tan was fanning the flames and putting insults on Zhao Yun. So even Ju Su tried his best to persuade the grand Yuan Sangong to send people to investigate the truth. The grand Yuan Sangong not only cut off the messenger sent by Chunyu Qiong on the spot, but also smashed the case and yelled: "No need to investigate. If Wuchao is not protected, Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Yun are both guilty!"
"It's over!" Ju Su Zhi's grandson Yuan San Gong was mean and jealous, and he suddenly turned pale and said to himself: "If Wuchao is not protected, Zhao Yun will be dead, and he will definitely die so much!"
After waiting restlessly and anxiously, the afternoon was finally accurate news from Wuchao. Wen Chou, who was sent to Wuchao to rescue, Han Meng sent a quick horse to report that after their light cavalry team arrived in Wuchao, the Wuchao granary had been burned clean and the Cao army did not know where to go. After hearing this news, Yuan Sangong fainted on the spot. Ju Su was shocked and quickly sent his confidant to find Zhao Yun and asked Zhao Yun to escape immediately to save his life, because Ju Su knew very well that Zhao Yun would occupy a hundred reasons now, and he would definitely not be able to fight against the party of Chunyu Qiong and Prince Yuan Tan, who was highly powerful in the Jizhou Army. Even if Yuan Sangong was destined to kill Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Yun would definitely have to be buried with Chunyu Qiong.
Before the matter was over, after the Grand Duke Yuan San was rescued by his left and right, he suddenly spitted blood again as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so shocked that he screamed repeatedly. When Guo Tu and others came forward to support Grand Duke Yuan San, Grand Duke Yuan San, with a face as golden as paper, grabbed Guo Tu's hand and ordered: "Give troops to Guandu and send Zhang He and Gao Lan, if you can't break through Guandu to avenge my Wuchao granary, behead you!" After that, Grand Duke Yuan's head tilted and he fainted immediately.
"Lord, lord!" Ju Su quickly shook the Grand Duke of Yuan San and cried, "Lord, how can you give such an order? Zhang He and Gao Lan, they have tried their best, how can you force them...?"
"Shut up!" Mr. Yuan Tan pushed Ju Su away and roared: "Ju Guangping, do you want to kill the master? My father is like this, you dare to shake him, do you want his life?"
After pushing Ju Su away, Mr. Yuan Tan helped the unconscious Grand Duke Yuan San yelled: "My father is seriously ill, and I am the eldest son. Now the military affairs are under my jurisdiction! If you send an order, you will increase your troops to Guandu by 20,000. Be sure to break Guandu, and then send Zhang He and Gao Lan, saying that before the fall, you will not be able to attack Guandu, and behead you!"
The guards of the Grand Three Duke of Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally clasped their fists and sang promises unevenly. Young Master Yuan Tan, who finally turned over to be the master, was ecstatic and could not wait to wink at Guo Tu. Guo Tu nodded to express his understanding. However, the little moves of Mr. Yuan Tan and Guo Tu did not escape Ju Su's eyes. Ju Su was also suspicious and said in his heart: "What are the eldest master and Guo Tu's winks? What are they planning to do?"
"Xuanwu Gate." Mr. Yuan Tan thought so, "Can you succeed in doing Xuanwu Gate now?"
