Ju Su sat opposite Yuan Tan, clearly distinguishing the current situation in detail.

Whether you can fight Sun Ce depends on two conditions: one is whether Sun Ce can maintain the current development momentum, and the other is whether Yuan Tan can overcome the current adverse situation in Jizhou. The former cannot be independent by Yuan Tan, and at most it can fuel the fire and will not play a decisive role. If the conditions are not suitable, or Sun Ce overcomes this difficulty, then Yuan Tan has to accept his fate. The latter is not the case. Yuan Tan can at least have a part of the initiative. If the operation is done properly, there may not be no possibility of reversal.

Only when You and Ji were integrated into one, when Sun Ce's development momentum slowed down and opportunities appeared, Yuan Tan was able to seize this opportunity. This point has never changed. From the day Yuan Shao left Luoyang, it was his established strategy. Jizhou had troops and food, and Youzhou had a cavalry. Only when they merged into one could they have the ability to dominate the world. This was what Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu did back then. Yuan Tan had such a plan after he ascended the throne, but because Liu He was eager to take revenge, he failed and finally made Liu Bei profit from it.

"Fengji once planned the king for the past king and knew the key points. Now, he planned the king for Liu Bei, and he must make every effort to seek Jizhou to show his ambition. In this situation, the king can survive if he is tolerant. When he meets the brave on a narrow road, the king must not hesitate. He must fight and win, and then join Guanzhong and Yizhou to fight against Sun Ce, and there is a chance to breathe."

Yuan Tan nodded in agreement and asked again: "Jizhou has exhausted its combat power for a long time, how can it defeat Liu Bei?"

"The chance to defeat Liu Bei is on the two."

"who?"

"Feng Ji, Guan Yu."

Yuan Tan's interest increased greatly and urged Ju Su to say it quickly. Ju Su immediately analyzed the situation of these two people for Yuan Tan.

He was very resourceful and good at decisive, and was Liu Bei's planner. Guan Yu was extremely brave and the most warlike general under Liu Bei's command. He was both literary and military, and he was Liu Bei's right-hand man. But both arms were flawed, and their shortcomings were the same. They were both stubborn and self-right. Guan Yu showed this most obviously. Sometimes he didn't even take Liu Bei seriously and had no courtesy of his subjects.

Designed according to the person, this shortcoming of Feng Ji and Guan Yu can lure the enemy into the depths.

As for Feng Ji, he was originally a counselor hired by Yuan Shaoli. After arriving in Jizhou, he was attacked by Ruying and Jizhou. He was full of wisdom and had no place to use force. Now he was planning to take over Jizhou, winning Liu Bei's kingly career, and achieving his own wealth. This is his best opportunity to prove himself, and he will never give up. Moreover, he had no way out in the face of the threats from Cui Jun and others, so he could only strive forward.

As for Guan Yu, he was proud and arrogant, and claimed to be brave. As a general, he liked to rush to the front line and fight against his opponents in close combat. He would even jump out without even temptation.

When Ji was aggressive, Guan Yu was brave and lured them to make mistakes. He broke Liu Bei's arms and Liu Bei was mostly ruined.

Yuan Tan held his cheek with his hand, his eyes flashed slightly. "Please, where is Guan Yu now? It's been a long time since I heard from him."

Ju Su raised his hand and drew a circle in the air. "It must be within a radius of hundreds of miles."

"A hundred miles in a radius?" Yuan Tan couldn't help but slammed the zero, and his face changed slightly.

"Yes, not long after the Battle of Grassland, Guan Yu lost his trace. There are many rumors about it. Some say that he was demoted because of his defeat, some say that he had a conflict with Liu Bei and left in anger, but these are not facts. In the Battle of Grassland, Liu Bei was defeated, but Guan Yu himself was not frustrated. Even if he had any experience, he would not be demoted. Guan Yu was conceited and did not have the courtesy of his ministers. He often collided with Liu Bei, but he valued loyalty and took the safety of Zhongshan as his own responsibility. He would never leave when Liu Bei was injured and Zhongshan was in danger. Moreover, he was above the top, and the only person who could make him surrender might be Sun Ce, but so far, there was no news that Guan Yu defected to Sun Ce. From this, it can be seen that Guan Yu's possibility of leaving Zhongshan is very small. If he can endure for so long, there must be something that must be him. Besides attacking Jizhou, what else is bigger?"

Yuan Tan's back was covered in cold sweat. When the wind blew, it was cool and cold, and his body became cold. Although he was skeptical about the rumors that Guan Yu left Liu Bei, he knew that Yuan Xi and Feng Ji had contact, but he did not expect that Guan Yu would hide near him and wait to launch a raid on Yecheng. Guan Yu was the bravest army, and if he rushed to Yecheng, his biggest target would naturally be himself.

It's so dangerous! Fortunately, I haven't been too far away from the city in the past few months, and occasionally I don't leave the city and leave Ye County, and I have never had the experience of spending the night outside. If I accidentally run away by Guan Yu, he might be going to see his father Yuan Shao now, and he will be coldly attracted by him.

Does Yuan Xi know about this?

Yuan Tan thought about it carefully and felt that Yuan Xi might not know about this. He knew this younger brother's ability. If he had really hidden such thoughts, he would not have concealed it so well, and he would have exposed flaws long ago. If it were Yuan Shang, it would be a bit pitiful. His biological mother, Mrs. Liu, was a cruel person, and he had inherited some of it.

To be fair, if the throne is really to be given up, Yuan Shang is more suitable than Yuan Xi.

Seeing that Yuan Tan was out of sight, Ju Su did not urge him and waited patiently. After a while, Yuan Tan realized that he was a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, and hurriedly said, "Please, how can you determine where Guan Yu is?"

Ju Su shook his head. "In Taihang Mountains, people can be hidden everywhere. Since Guan Yu is determined to hide, it is not easy to find him. If there are few soldiers, there will be insufficient control; if there are many soldiers, there will be empty Jizhou. We can only use calmness to control our movements, wait for work to tempt them to attack."

Yuan Tanshen agreed and signaled Ju Su to continue.

Ju Su analyzed that Guan Yu was brave and well-trained, and could defeat the more with less, but he now had a flaw, and there were too few cavalry. He hid in the mountains, and his command must be dominated by infantry. Even if there were cavalry, the number was limited. If he could separate him from the infantry, even if he commanded tens of thousands of troops, he would only have more than a hundred cavalry at the fortress. He would block it with spears and shields, and shoot with strong bows and crossbows, and he would be able to break it in one fell swoop.

"What about after killing Guan Yu?"

Ju Su shook his head. "Can't kill."

"Can't kill?"

"Yes, you can't kill it, or it's better not to kill it. Guan Yu was a general of Liu Bei. Although there were conflicts from time to time, life and death were followed for many years, and love and friendship were not comparable to ordinary monarchs and ministers. If Guan Yu was killed by me, Liu Bei would probably take risks for revenge. Even if our army could fight and win it, the losses would be great. Both sides were injured, and Sun Ce would definitely benefit Sun Ce. It would be better to capture Guan Yu, conquer Liu Bei and resist Sun Ce together. If Liu Bei refused, kill Guan Yu again to show that Liu Bei was unrighteous to the world."

Yuan Tan smiled. Liu Bei's reputation was not good, and the only thing worthy of praise was loyalty, especially the friendship between him and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If he did not care about Guan Yu's life and insisted on being an enemy, not only Guan Yu might abandon him, but Zhang Fei would also be disappointed, and Liu Bei would no longer have the foundation to stand.

"How can we not kill Guan Yu on the battlefield?"

"Guan Yu is a general, with Nanyang Jingang protector, and is not afraid of the straits. The possibility of death is not high. If the formation is mainly siege and traps are set up, pay attention to it when the formation is held, and choose the right weapon, there are about 70% chances to capture him alive. This matter can be left to Gao Lan, and he will definitely satisfy the king."

Yuan Tan looked at Ju Shu for a moment. "Since that's the case, please Gao Lan and Zhang He come, you can give me the opportunity in person."

Ju Shu nodded and hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Yuan Tan asked, "What else do you have to worry about?"

"King, I have something unknown."

Yuan Tan's expression was slightly stagnant, and his eyes that had just become bright are dodging. "What's the matter?"

"What is the intention of the king and Liu Bei joining together, the general of the guards accompanying him, leading the general to stay in Yecheng, but the prince did not lead a single army? What is the intention? If the war is together, who will preside over the major event?"

Yuan Tan did not say anything. Yuan Shang took the initiative to give up the throne, and Yuan Xi became his only choice. He appointed Yuan Xi as the general of the leadership and commanded the main force who went to the expedition with him. He also appointed Yuan Shang as the general of the guard. The people of Ruying, led by Guo Tu, assisted by Yanzhou, and stayed in Yecheng just in case. This matter has never been told to Ju Su, but Ju Hu was his doctor's order, so how could Ju Su not hear any news?

But he could not answer this question. Firstly, he was worried that Ju Su would oppose it - Ju Su spared no effort to encourage him, which was a clear proof; secondly, he didn't feel the opportunity to defeat Liu Bei at that time, and he wanted to leave. Now that he heard Ju Su's plan, he saw a glimmer of hope, but could not save it - if he regretted breaking his promise, what would Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang think and what would he do? If the brother turned against him, everything would be over, let alone ambush Guan Yu, his brothers would have to fight first, so that Liu Bei would be the fisherman's benefit in vain.

Yuan Tan stood up and turned his back to Ju Su. "I am not feeling well recently. Duke and Duke discussed with Xianyi about military affairs. Isn't I still asking him to come forward? Xianyi is not familiar with the generals, Duke and Duke and Duke help him."

Ju Su looked at Yuan Tan, but Yuan Tan never looked back. Ju Su sighed secretly and bowed to leave.

Yuan Xi was quickly summoned. Hearing that Guan Yu was going to ambush Guan Yu and asked him to contact Guan Yu, Yuan Xi was guilty and was startled, his face turned red and pale, and he didn't know how much Ju Su knew. Ju Su was confused, but he did not doubt that he had said to Yuan Tan, and finally said to Yuan Xi: "General, Guan Yu is a brother and sister of Liu Bei. Whether Guan Yu can capture Guan Yu alive is related to whether he can restrain Liu Bei. The general must make arrangements and must not reveal flaws or make mistakes."

Yuan Xi was flustered and didn't hear what Ju Su said clearly. Before Ju Su finished speaking, he nodded repeatedly, pushed him to go to the toilet, and got up from the hall. Ju Su was inexplicably surprised and felt a little unhappy. At this time, Zhang He and Gao Lan came together to salute Ju Su. Ju Su had to put Yuan Xi aside first and explained his plan to ambush Guan Yu.

Zhang He, Gao Lan, heard this, became excited and bowed his hand to the salute at the same time, and said aloud: "Please give me the wine."

"Yunyi, Yuanguan, please sit in." Ju Su spread out the map, greeted Zhang He, Gao Lan sat closer, and talked about the plan. "Yunyi, you have fought with Guan Yu. This time you lured Guan Yu, you are in the light and Yuanguan is in the dark."
