#1275 fortunate minister
Ju Su sat in the car and looked at the uneasy knight in front of him, feeling indescribable fatigue. Although he opened his mouth, he did not sound at all. .
Tian Feng was sent back to Yecheng for the crime of Jujun, and set off immediately, without even giving him a chance to plead. Yuan Shao clearly made up his mind to drive Tian Feng away from him. As a close minister, Ju Su knew how much Yuan Shao had resentment towards Tian Feng. Since Yuan Shao decided to go to Junyi, Tian Feng had made many suggestions, which had long annoyed Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao decided to send troops in the first month of the year, and Tian Feng once again made strong suggestions and said a lot of excessive words. Yuan Shao had tolerated him for more than a day or two.
However, as a friend, Ju Su knew that Tian Feng was loyal and had no other intentions. Moreover, his view was the same as Tian Feng. At this time, the dispatch of troops was a major mistake, which would lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. Using troops was like playing chess. Not only should you consider the overall plan before making a move, but you should also pay attention to the order when playing chess, which one should be first and who should come later. One son should not be confused, otherwise you will fall into a passive position.
Without waiting for the support of the troops to be in place, Yuan Shao sent troops in advance due to his anger, completely disrupting the proper order. All the tactics arranged before were all failed. At the beginning of the war, it was still in the layout stage, and Yuan Shao gave such a stupid move. How could Tian Feng not be anxious?
"Sir, don't you go and persuade me?" the knight reminded awkwardly. This is Zhang's division, which is very familiar to Ju Su.
"I won't go." Ju Su lowered his head, reached out to pull the car door, thought for a while, and said, "Tell me, there is no big deal in the future, don't contact me easily, so as not to give someone a handle."
The knight scratched his head in confusion. Ju Su didn't explain, and pulled up the car door, leaned against the car wall, sighed. The footsteps outside gradually drifted away, and the knight got off. After a while, another sound of horse hooves sounded, getting closer and closer. Someone knocked on the car wall to remind Ju Su. Ju Su opened the window and saw that it was the guard knight next to Yuan Shao, and immediately opened the car door.
The knight passed the order, and Yuan Shao summoned Ju Su to discuss matters. Ju Su agreed loudly, and then asked his troops to bring the war horses, turn them on, and rush towards the central army.
Yuan Shao stood on the high slope on the river bank, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Seeing Ju Su getting off the horse down the slope and walking up with his clothes, he exchanged glances with Guo Tu. Ju Su came to Yuan Shao and bowed to show his hand. Yuan Shao grabbed a step and reached out to hold him.
"Mr., there is something urgent, so I have to invite you to discuss it."
"Please tell me, lord."
"Yuan Hao suddenly felt uncomfortable. I was worried that he was old and weak and could not bear the pain of marching. He ordered someone to send him back to Yecheng. The position of the other party was empty. I thought about it. Only Duke and his wife were suitable for taking over. I hope Duke and his wife would not refuse."
"I dare not." Ju Su said lightly, neither surprised nor angry. He knew that Yuan Shao would know that Zhang sent someone to inform him, and that it would not be concealed by hiding it, and it would only make Yuan Shao feel resentful.
"The army has already crossed the river and will soon enter Chenliu. Zhang Chao is unwilling to help. Gonggu thinks how should he act?"
"Lord, although Zhang Chao is unwilling to help, he dare not stop the army. With today's plan, the lord can go straight in without worrying about the soldiers of Chenliu County."
Yuan Shao stroked the delicately trimmed beard under his jaw and pondered. Not long ago, he received a letter written by Zhang Chao, saying that Li Ru's articles were widely spread in Chenliu. Chenliu's scholars and soldiers were talking about it, and people were uneasy, hoping that Yuan Shao could come forward to clarify. Before the facts were clear, Chenliu people might not be able to accept Yuan Shao and could not send troops to assist Yuan Shao in the battle. He could not speak alone and could only follow the crowd's will.
Yuan Shao could accept Cao Ang's help, but he could not accept Zhang Chao's doing the same. Cao Ang was just a child-tempered person and had no other intentions. Moreover, Mrs. Ding was placed under house arrest in Pingyu and forcing Cao Ang to send troops was equivalent to forcing him to be unfilial and pushing him to Sun Ce's side. The Zhang Chao brothers were not like that. Because of Han Fu's affairs, Zhang Miao had already separated from him and had also been with Sun Ce and bought a lot of weapons. It would be a disaster to keep their brothers sooner or later. It would be better to take this opportunity to take it down and take the entire Chenliu and shock Cao Ang by the way.
Chenliu is not only the strongest county in Yanzhou, but also a county with a very important geographical location. It is a place where military strategists must fight for. If they can be controlled in their own hands, there will be many benefits.
"Why not take Chenliu directly?"
Ju Su shook his head. "Master, Zhang Chao is not a good person in use of troops, and Chen Liu is not a place for elite troops. He will not threaten him. Moreover, Zhang Miao was a friend who was running for the lord back then, and Zhang Chao was also a member of the Dong Zhuang Alliance. His former official Zang Hong was trusted by the lord and entrusted the lord to the lord. Now Zhang Chao is afraid of rumors and dares not send troops to help. He is not an enemy of the lord. The lord wants to attack, which will only arouse the disgust of the Chenliu gentry. It is not the best way to fight with the Sun father and son, but to become enemies with Chenliu Shilin first."
Yuan Shao thought about it, but although he was unwilling to give up, he nodded. He didn't want to attack the counties along the way before he saw Junyi City. Although these counties were not strong, it took time to build siege equipment, and there would be losses in siege, which was far less powerful than sending people to persuade people to surrender. Although Zhang Chao said he would not help, he did not adjust the commanders of each county, nor did he increase his troops. Many people could still persuade him to surrender.
In front of the army, these Yanzhou people could only endure even if they had any objections. If someone dared to jump out, he would not mind killing two people to establish his authority.
"Lord, the most urgent task is to order Yuan Qingzhou to launch an offensive immediately and take Qingzhou all, and force Sun Ce to not go west with all his might."
Yuan Shao nodded in agreement. He had received the news that Shen You's troops stationed in Qu'a had been assembled and could go north at any time. The goal should be Qingzhou. Once Shen You gained a foothold in Qingzhou, Yuan Xi would like to push the front line to the East China Sea and threaten Sun Ce's right wing, but it would not be so easy.
"Duangyu, when the war begins, there are no old scheming ministers like Yuan Hao, and in the future, they can only rely on Duangyu."
"I wish to serve the Lord."
Yuan Shao nodded and signaled that Ju Su could leave. Ju Su bowed and turned around and left. He watched Ju Su go down the slope, get on the horse, and rush away lightly. Yuan Shao's eyes flashed for a moment and asked, "Please, where is Youruo now?"
"I don't know." Guo Tu sighed. "The movement of Shen Youmen is the last news I received. It should be that Tao Ying took over Xia Pi and Guangling, and he was unwilling to serve, so he left." He turned to look at Yuan Shao. "My lord, Ju Su's words are very reasonable. If Qingzhou is in a mistake, Xuzhou will not be guaranteed. Liu He operates Xia Pi and Guangling for more than half a year, and many people still care about his lord. Tao Ying is Sun Ce's lackey. If he controls Xia Pi and Guangling, those people will be quickly cleaned or rebelled. I heard that Sun Ce sealed the rivers and seas for several months, especially around the New Year, no one is allowed to leave the country. Xia Pi and Guangling families suffered heavy losses and complained."
Yuan Shao sighed. "Who is better to send? If a friend was originally a good candidate, it's a pity that he was scared by your follower and refused to take over. Zhengli (Liu Yao), Yuancai (a high-ranking official) was defeated by Yuzhang, and his life and death were unknown. If one of them could come back, I wouldn't be so stretched. Gongze, Ruying is a lot of wise men, but he is not as good as a person from Jizhou in terms of martial arts."
Guo Tu's eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Who dares to say that the people of Ruying have no martial arts skills?"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly and pointed at Guo Tu. "You are clever and honest, be careful that someone calls you lucky minister."
"It is my blessing in my life to meet my lord." Guo Tu's face did not change. "If I can bring some luck to my lord, I would be a lucky minister."
