Chapter 375: During the re-appointment period

Yuan Shao's words gave Gao Gan a little breath. After Gao Lan flicked his finger, he took a few steps back and sneered at Gao Gan: "You're lucky!"

The senior official gasped for a few quick breaths, and did not answer at the moment, watching Gao Lan return to Yuan Shao.

Just now, after fighting for dozens of moves, Gao Gan actually felt like facing a wild beast. At this time, Gao Lan left, so he naturally would not chase him again.

It was also familiar to Gongsun Zan to make harsh words. After dancing a gun, he smiled heroically: "Yuan Benchu, our men in the army have been impatient. When the red sun rises tomorrow morning, it is the time for you and me to fight. Do you dare?"

Yuan Shao replied: "Why don't you dare? I'm here to see if you will still be as free and easy as today."

After Yan Luo, Yuan Shao rode his horse and retreated.

As soon as Gongsun Zan returned to the military camp, he called Gao Gan to the front and scolded: "Yuancai, what did you want to do just now? At that time, Xu'er had not returned to the formation and was within the opponent's range. If there was a slight mistake, wouldn't it be that Xu'er's life be ruined in vain?"

The high-ranking cavalry had obviously not yet come back to his senses, but he had no expression on his face and replied coldly: "Ju Yi is brave and brave. The first-row deceased soldier who can fight is from his hands. How can such a person be allowed to return easily? Just now, the major general was less than ten feet away from us, and he could rush back in a few breaths. Even if he shoots an arrow and hurts him, Ju Yi, is also thinking about tomorrow's decisive battle. If the lord must blame him, then he will have nothing to say."

Tian Yu, who was standing by, didn't know why the high-ranking officials did this, and thought to himself, Gongsun Zan blamed him, just bow his head and admit his mistake, but now he has to be confident and put himself in a loyal and righteous man who is not afraid of the cold. What are the benefits of placing himself as a loyal and righteous man who is not afraid of the cold?

Thinking of this, Tian Yu quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Lord, General Gao is also devoted to his lord. Although it seems indecent, the two armies are fighting with all means. This is understandable. Besides, tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle. According to the following point of view, our army still puts the first place to defeat Yuan Shao."

Tian Yu is an important official in Youzhou. Gongsun Zan naturally needs to be cautious when he said that he hesitated for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he shouted in a low voice: "If the country had not pleaded for you today, I will condemn you as a crime of disrespect for you. This matter will be over. I wonder what General Gao thinks of the decisive battle tomorrow?"

The high-ranking cadre had no joy or sorrow on his face. After hearing Gongsun Zan's question, he clasped his fists and replied: "The Yuan army is in a large position. According to the last general, the number of Yuan army camp at this time was about 90,000, but our army only had more than 50,000. The number of Yuan soldiers was twice our army, and it was unwise to fight hard."

Gongsun Zan frowned and said, "Although our army is small, most of them are strong men. Yuan Shao only had 20,000 elliptical soldiers on the table."

The high-ranking cadre nodded and replied: "Yes, now the number of Yuan soldiers has an absolute advantage, almost twice that of our army. We can only find another way, find the weakness of Yuan army, and kill Yuan Shao with one blow."

Tian Yu asked suspiciously: "Where is Yuan Jun's weakness?"

The high-ranking official chuckled and said, "Nothing else, Yuan Shao himself!"

Tian Yu thought for a while and asked uncertainly: "Yuancai, are you trying to capture the king first with the idea of ​​capturing the thief?"

The high-ranking cavalry nodded and responded: "That is, in the battle tomorrow, Yuan Shao will definitely send Wen Chou's elves to take the lead. There are cavalry guards on both wings. According to my understanding of Yuan Shao, he will always have 20,000 infantry around him to respond to the unexpected."

When Tian Yu heard this, he was puzzled and asked, "How to lure this infantryman away?"

The senior official smiled mysteriously and said, "The general has already made a mistake in his heart. As long as the lord is willing to give it a try, he may be able to kill Yuan Shao."

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan suddenly felt refreshed and said in a deep voice: "Yuancai just said it's okay. As long as he can kill Yuan Shao, I will listen to you."

The high-ranking cavalry pulled out the sword from his waist and laid the battlefield on the ground, saying, "The battlefield here is flat. There is a natural danger of Zhangshui behind our army, and there is a Yuan army blocking the road in front of us. The ferry is the only way for our army to retreat. Why not follow the example of the overlord and make a big fuss. This will cut off our army's retreat and inspire the soldiers' determination to fight. Secondly, it can also be used to show Yuan Shao."

Gongsun Zan looked serious and asked, "Our army cut off its backbone. What's the point when Yuan Shao found out? What kind of tricks did you do?"

Seeing that Gao Guan had some other words, Tian Yu quickly advised softly: "Lord, don't bother. General Gao must have not finished speaking yet. It's better to wait until General Gao finishes talking."

The high-ranking cadre nodded and asked with a smile: "Have you ever heard of Xu Shao from Runan?"

Gongsun Zan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what to sell in the high-ranking cavalry's gourd. He was puzzled, but he still replied truthfully: "I know some of Xu Zijiang's name. It is rumored that this person is good at talking about others. As long as he comes from his own words, he will be able to speak."

After hearing the high-ranking cadre talk about Xu Shao, Tian Yu vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he was not very sure, so he didn't make a sound and just listened quietly from the side.

The high-ranking cadre nodded and smiled, "What the lord said is right. Xu Shao from Runan is born with a pair of wise eyes. He can observe stars and elephants from above and observe mountains and rivers. As long as he commented on it, most of the people who have been fulfilled, they will be fulfilled one by one. Therefore, Xu Shao's name is well-known in the Central Plains."

Gongsun Zan asked in confusion: "Yuancai, why did you suddenly mention Xu Shao? Could it be that he is related to Yuancai's strategy? But here is more than a thousand miles away from Runan. Even if you rush up and don't eat or drink, you have to run for a few days or nights. It is difficult to save the nearby fire from afar."

After hearing this, the high-ranking official shook his head and said, "The strategy of the general in charge is not to ask Xu Shao to help," then nodded. However, Xu Shao's words once made the general in charge profound, so this plan was also inspired by him."

Tian Yu asked softly: "Is it that Xu Shao has commented on Yuan Shao that he has never commented on?"

The high-ranking cadre nodded and said, "At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were good friends. They went to Runan together to ask Xu Shao to see Xu Shao, and wanted to ask him to comment on the two. However, Xu Shao only commented on one person in one month, and then said Cao Cao's comment. Later, he did not mention Yuan Shao's words. Yuan Shao came from a famous family and had never been so angry. He drew his sword on the spot and threatened to burn Xu Shao's mansion. In the end, under Cao Cao's dissuasion, Yuan Shao then calmed down, but asked Xu Shao to comment on him."

Gongsun Zan asked in a voice: "What did Xu Shao say?"

The high-ranking official whispered: "Of course, Xu Shao would not break the rules he set for Yuan Shao alone, but looking at the aggressive Yuan Shao, he had no choice but to ask Cao Cao for help. He asked Cao Cao to comment on Yuan Shao and he could also give some advice from the side."

Tian Yu asked, "What did Cao Cao say?"

The high-ranking cadre said with a look of memory: "One side is a famous scholar in Runan and a childhood friend. Of course, Cao Cao wanted neither side to offend him. I remember that Cao Cao said that at that time."

"I was a young hero, but I was a hero!"

"A hero must have a fearless spirit. Only Wang Yue is the only hero in my dynasty!"

"I have the original intention of caring for the people and have the talent to govern the world!"

"All capable ministers and officials are all people with wise and famous things. How about Yuan Shao and Tao Qian and Kong Rong?"

"I have justice in my original intention, but I can be a general in the army!"

"Haha... Our generals are the first to recommend Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. They are all figures who have been in the military camp for decades. How about Yuan Shao's comparison?"

Every time Cao Cao said something, Xu Shao would refute it. How could Yuan Shao get off the table? He was angry and drew his sword to cut off Xu Shao. However, Xu Shao was not afraid of danger and stared at Yuan Shao with his eyes bulging.

The sword was above his head, but Yuan Shao couldn't cut it down no matter how hard he was.

Finally, Xu Shao said lightly: "If you do big things, you cherish your life, and if you see small profits, you will forget your righteousness. Unfortunately, the Yuan family's talented talent was defeated by you."

After saying that, Xu Shao returned to the backyard by himself, and from then on he closed his door to thank the guests, and then he would hold a Yuedan review next year.

Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu were stunned when they heard this. None of them would have thought that Xu Shao would give Yuan Shao such an evaluation, and they could guess what the senior officials had made.

Tian Yu said softly: "As long as our army burns its boats, Yuan Shao will cherish his feathers and dare not fight the decisive battle with our army?"

The high-ranking cadre replied: "Yes, I have always followed Yuan Shao before and have some understanding of his temperament. Just as Xu Zi Jiang commented, Yuan Shao is a man who is always planning, looking forward to the front and back, and shrinks. He is not a person who does big things. As long as our army acts like a battle to the death, there will be a chance of victory."

Gongsun Zan asked, "But Yuan Shao took the lead in proposing the decisive battle, not like Yuan Cai said."

Tian Yu thought that he knew human nature the most thoroughly among the three. He explained: "Yuan Shao had more soldiers and enough food, and the number was almost twice that of our army. How could he be afraid?"

The high-ranking cavalry nodded and said, "Don't say it right. That's right. As long as our army fights fiercely tomorrow, we will attack with cavalry, and finally let Baima Yi detour from Yuan Shao's main formation. In desperation, Yuan Shao will send his infantry around him forward to fight. At that time, he will choose a fierce general to lead one or two thousand elite cavalry to Yuan Shao. In a panic, even if he cannot kill Yuan Shao, he will still cause chaos in the Yuan army."

This plan is too dangerous. Even if a person as bold as Gongsun Zan was a little unsure at this time, he just turned to look at Tian Yu and asked, "Guang Rang, what do you think?"

Tian Yu analyzed: "I think General Gao's plan is feasible. Lord, look, isn't Yuan Jun's performance a few days ago just because he was afraid of his actions?"

Gongsun Zan suddenly thought of the battle with Yuan Shao three days ago. At that time, his former army was in defeat, and his legitimate son was captured. Yuan Shao had not grasped such a good opportunity. It is conceivable how Yuan Shao's personality is.

However, Gongsun Zan suddenly wanted to know how Xu Shao evaluated Cao Cao, who now occupied the two states. He asked, "Yuan Cai, how did Xu Shao evaluate Cao Cao at that time?"
