Chapter 1284 People’s words are fearful (Page 1/1)

At the end of the first month.

Yuan Shao stood under Junyi City with his horse reins, looking at the city from afar and the mountain outside the city, feeling for a moment.

Once upon a time, his eldest son Yuan Tan also stood here and fought with Sun Ce, but the two of them were injured and there was no difference in the victory or defeat. After several years, he stood here again. Sun Jian was in the city, and the war that his sons had not ended was now to continue by their fathers.

Who is Sun Jian? How could a poor martial artist be qualified to fight me? He is just a general under the highway. By chance, the father and son stole Yuzhou and have now become my opponent. Especially Sun Ce, who wants to drive me out of the Yuan clan. Who is he? How dare he be so arrogant?

"Don't you, Junyi City is right in front of you. How to attack, can you teach me a clever way?"

Ju Su looked at the quiet city wall in the distance, listening to the sound of war drums without any rush, and he felt very depressed, and could not feel Yuan Shao's ease and joy at all. Yuan Shao used his strategy to send envoys to various counties, coercion and inducement. The counties along the way almost surrendered. Yuan Shao almost failed to shoot a single arrow and arrived at Junyi smoothly. This made Yuan Shao a little excited, but Ju Su knew that those county towns had limited defense capabilities and insufficient troops, and they would sooner or later surrender, but Junyi City in front of him was different. Sun Jian had been operating here for more than half a year and had already been prepared to stick to it, so he would not let Yuan Shao succeed easily.

"Lord, the top army attacks the plan, the second is to attack the diplomatic forces, the next is to attack the enemy, and the lowest is to attack the city. Junyi City is strictly guarded. I heard that after Sun Jian entered the city, he gradually moved the people away. The remaining people in the city were all elite troops. This must be defended, and it is difficult to attack. It is better to surround and not attack, take the county next to you, and take food from the enemy, and wait for the food to be destroyed by the enemy, and you can win without fighting. If Sun Ce comes to help, the lord can wait for the effort and break the enemy under the city."

Yuan Shao was still laughing, but he was a little reluctant. He asked how he could attack the city. Ju Su told him not to attack. What does this mean?

"No attack?"

"No attack." Ju Su nodded solemnly. "Our army has more than 70,000 infantry and cavalry. The lord led 40,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to stay Junyi. He sent a general to lead 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to go south and take the two cities of Kaifeng and Weishi. The two cities are small, and they can go down in one go, leaving a thousand people to guard each. The rest of the military farming camp was appointed as the military farming camp, and there were more than 30,000 military farming soldiers, all of which were the Yellow Turbans. Feng Fang was not a general who commanded the army. Unless Sun Ce led the main force to help, our army would win. If we had military farming, the food of the 100,000 troops would be enough. He used victory to join forces with Huang Taiwei to sweep the counties of Yingchuan, and Yingchuan could be brought down. He sent Yingchuan troops to obtain another 20,000 troops and attacked Junyi again. In just a few months, the food in Junyi City would be exhausted and it would be destroyed."

Yuan Shao felt a little moved and felt that Ju Su was right. Although this tactic has been delayed for a longer time, it is more stable, at least better than the strong attack on Junyi. The key point is that after he seizes military farmland in Xuxian, he can solve the problem of military rations. With military rations, he doesn't care about siege for a few more months.

"Public, what do you think?"

Guo Tutan explored his body. "I also think that the Duke and the Strategy are quite good, but this other general is difficult to choose. Yingchuan's military farming is important, we know, and Sun Ce also knows. If we know that our army is heading to Yingchuan, he will send troops to reinforce. Sun Ce is good at fighting. Apart from his lord, I can't think of anyone else who can command tens of thousands of troops and compete with Sun Ce."

Ju Su sighed in his heart. He knew that Guo Tu was already moved, but he wanted to fight for the other general's responsibility. Twenty-five thousand infantry and cavalry, which is one-third of Yuan Shao's army, and it is 300 miles away from the main force. He must be trusted. Once successful, it will definitely be the first achievement of this battle.

If we look at the ability, the most competent candidate is undoubtedly Tuo Yi, but Tuo Yi is not from Yingchuan, so Guo Tu would not let him make such a great contribution. Moreover, after his son Ju Hu was redeemed, he was still under Tuo Yi's account. If he recommended Tuo Yi, he was afraid that Guo Tu would say that he intended to make meritorious contributions.

"I think that Xun Yan and Kuo Yi can take on this responsibility."

Guo Tu remained silent, as if thinking, but seemed to disagree. Yuan Shao looked around and understood their thoughts. "Let them both go, with Que Yi as the main general and Xun Yan as the deputy general. One is the first general in Hebei, and the other is a famous scholar in Yingchuan. He is a combination of civil and military affairs. Even when Sun Ce comes, he will have the power to fight. Gongze, what do you think?"

Guo Tu responded and said, "Lord, wise, this arrangement cannot be done."

Yuan Shao smiled while stroking his beard.

Ju Su was silent for a while and said, "Lord, the key to taking Yingchuan is to work with Taiwei Huang. I received the news a few days ago that Huang Zhong had led his troops from Nanyang to calculate the time, and now he has arrived near Luyang. If Taiwei Huang cannot stop him, even if we seize Xu County, we will find it difficult to defend it, let alone the entire Yingchuan."

"It should be no problem with this." Yuan Shao stroked his beard, but his eyes were a little wandering. He and Huang Wan have known each other for many years and knew that Huang Wan had the experience of leading troops, but he had only dealt with some bandits in the past and had never fought with real famous generals. Huang Zhong was a general who had been Sun Ceyi's heavy responsibility. He had been guarding Nanyang before, but now he moved to Luyang, which was obviously intentional. It is hard to say which one wins and who will lose when the other two Huang fights. He always feels a bit exaggerated about Huang Wan's defeat of Sun Jian's subordinates Huang Zhong and Dong Yue in succession not long ago.

No matter what, it would be good to let Huang Wan give it a try. If he wins, he can meet with Que Yi and Xun Yan in Yingchuan, and Sun Ce will have to do his best. If Huang Wan is defeated, he will also let him recognize himself and change the temper of the scholar.

Just now, he ordered Lu Cui to draft a document. A knight ran in the distance. When Guo Tu saw it, he greeted Yuan Shao and went up. The knight stopped in front of Guo Tu, reported a message, handed over another announcement, turned his horse's head, and went as if he was flying. Guo Tu looked at the announcement and did not move for a long time. Yuan Shao felt strange, and waited patiently for a while, and Guo Tu walked over.

"What's up?"

"It's nothing, Sun Ce issued an announcement." Guo Tu shook the paper in his hand, quite disdainful, but did not hand it to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was suspicious and took it. When he opened it, he immediately browned. The three big words "Kill Hu Ling" were particularly dazzling, which made him think of the war last year. Sun Ce also grabbed Hu Qi and scolded him for colluding with Hu people and killing Zhongyuan's clothes. This directly caused many Yuzhou families to be disgusted, so that Liu He and others attacked the beginning and ended in a desperate situation, and had to turn to Xuzhou.

Now this move?

Yuan Shao started to read the announcement carefully. After halfway through reading, he broke out in a cold sweat. Things were even more troublesome than he thought. Sun Ce not only scolded him for colluding with the Hu barbarians, but also mobilized the people of Yuzhou to kill Hu. This is not a small problem. No matter how strong the Hu cavalry is, he is still a human being, especially those who are not familiar with Yuzhou. If they are not familiar with the place, they will inevitably encounter unexpected problems. Even if they only lose one or two people at a time, they will accumulate a small amount, and there will be hundreds of people. When they go deep into the enemy's back, the knights are already afraid. If their companions are killed every day, it will cause serious damage to the morale of the army. Over time, the Hu cavalry will refuse to perform the mission.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "It's really cruel that this man actually drove the unarmed people to fight with fully armed knights."

Ju Shu took the announcement, glanced at it, and sighed.

Guo Tu had calmed down and said lightly: "Ziyun: Fighting without teaching is called abandoning it. Sun Ce abandons the people, and hypocrisy cannot be done again, and the people will also abandon Sun Ce. This is God's will. Why should the lord worry about it? Let the Hu cavalry attack in a concentrated manner and not be left alone."

Yuan Shaoqiang laughed twice. Focusing attacks can avoid being single, but the effect is much worse.
