The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 308 Yuan Shao's Way to Find Shit

In the first year of Jianxing, at the beginning of April.

In Jingzhou, due to Zhuge Liang's adaptability, the original layout was completely disrupted.

From the original defensive counterattack, waiting for Zhuge Liang to reveal Runan's plan to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao lags behind.Instead, in order to reduce the casualties of the three armies, Zhang Xiu chose to cooperate with Zhuge Liang in this time's encirclement and annihilation plan.

Therefore, the Jingzhou frontier was fully on the defensive, not giving Yuan Shao a chance.

As for Jizhou, Yuan Shao was unwilling to withdraw his troops. He followed Jushou's suggestion and chose to divide his troops into two places. One left a [-] army and Zhang Yun, and Gao Lan and others would be under the control of Jushou.

The other is to personally lead an army of [-], lead Wen Chou, lead Zhao, Jiang Yiqu, Han Meng and other generals, and prepare to spare Yecheng and go straight to Bowang, Duyang and other places.

…………

Late at night, on the winding official road.

Originally, this quiet and deep night should be the time for small animals to mate in spring, but at this time, the sound of clanging armor broke the only tranquility.

The small animals wilted in fright and fled away.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't make it to Duyang in the morning of the next day, you will be killed as soon as you get up!" Wen Chou rode his horse and shouted loudly in front of the soldiers from all walks of life.

As for the middle of the army formation, on a chariot, the general of the four-horse trailer brandished a whip. Yuan Shao lay in the chariot, looking at the tranquility of the surrounding fields, but he did not speak.

"My lord, at this speed, we should be able to arrive at Duyang at the very early morning of the day after tomorrow. If the defenders of Duyang see our army arriving, they will be scared out of their wits."

Feng Ji rode a war horse, stroked his beard with one hand and said with a light smile.

"Hehe, Zhang Xiu, that reckless man, thought he could take advantage of the advantage of the city to deal with our army, and wanted to wait for our army to retreat before fighting out. He suddenly found out that our army was divided. I'm afraid he should be dumbfounded."

Guo Tu also said with a smile.

Normally, it is impossible not to pull out such an important town as Yecheng, because with this important town, Yuan Shao's army and food road will be uneasy.But now Yuan Shao has [-] troops on guard, most of whom are mobile cavalry.

In this way, it is also feasible to cross Yecheng.

"If Zhang Xiu kills my son, then I will go to Xiangyang, slaughter Zhang Xiu's wife and children, and let him know the pain of losing a son." Yuan Shao regained his former heroic spirit and shouted ferociously.

"My lord is wise, this battle will definitely be victorious!"

All the civil and military officials complimented and said with a smile.

On the other hand, Xu You frowned slightly, didn't say much, and remained silent.Yuan Shao naturally found out, and couldn't help but look at Xu You and said, "Ziyuan, why are you so unhappy!"

"To tell the truth, my lord, you are a little worried, and feel that this battle will not go so smoothly." Xu You frowned and said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao asked with a slight displeasure, frowning.

"My lord, Zhang Xiu has always been treacherous. Now our three armies are divided into two groups. Although we can threaten the rear, if Ju Shou fails to withstand Zhang Xiu's offensive, then our army will go deep alone!"

Xu You's expression was solemn. He had been thinking about this just now, but thinking about it now, it was indeed worrying.After all, if Jushou was really defeated, Yecheng would be equivalent to blocking their retreat.

In this way, the Han River will not pass, Yecheng will be difficult to break, and they will be in danger. At that time, I am afraid that the three armies will be terrified, and the army will be defeated if they have no fighting spirit.

Hearing Xu You's words, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and couldn't help but roll the corners of his eyes, thinking a little.

"My lord, it only takes two or three days to go to Bowang, and even if I go to Xinye, it will only take ten days. As long as Xinye is destroyed, Jingzhou will definitely be in chaos."

"Xu You, do you think that Jushou's [-] troops can't last for ten days? If so, aren't you encouraging others' prestige and destroying our ambition?"

After Guo Tu finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Haha, that's right, Xu You, Xu You, you still boast that you are resourceful. You have a total of 10 cavalry under your command. Even if you have [-] pigs, you can't cut them all in ten days."

Feng Ji also sneered and made mocking remarks.

"Hehe, conquering Xinye in ten days? Who gave you the confidence?" Instead of making trouble, Xu You sneered and retorted, "As far as I know, there is still Wenpin's Second Army stationed in Jingzhou."

"Wenpin has been on the battlefield all year round, and his soldiers are all elite soldiers. Xiangyang City is only a short distance away from Xinye. Based on the information from Jingzhou, our army may encounter Wenpin's Second Army before it reaches Xinye."

"Dare to ask, do you and other resourceful people have the ability to defeat Wenpin in a short period of time, so as to enter Xinye?" Xu You said word by word.

After hearing Xu You finished speaking, everyone frowned slightly, and for a moment they really didn't know how to refute.After all, the Third Army has 5 soldiers, even if it comes to [-],
With the strength of the Jizhou Army, I am afraid it will be impossible to win within ten days and half a month. This is still the most ideal state. It may be difficult to win in half a year in a normal confrontation.

"Ziyuan, in your opinion, what should our army do!" Yuan Shao also frowned, a little worried.After all, with the back route cut off, it is very likely that the 20 troops will be buried here.

Even if he ran back, I am afraid that Jizhou would no longer be able to confront Zhang Xiu.

"In my opinion, take Duyang, Bowang, and Zhixian, and then slaughter them all. In this way, the Lord can declare victory in this battle to outsiders."

"At that time, the lord can withdraw the army and return to the court. Firstly, it can block the mouth of the world, and secondly, it can also kill the chickens and monkeys to extinguish Zhang Xiu's arrogance."

Xu You bowed his hands solemnly.

"Slaughtered three counties?" Yuan Shao frowned. This is a good way. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou before, but failed to capture it. It was almost equivalent to a defeat, but he slaughtered the people of the county to vent their anger.

First, it can reduce the enemy's vitality.Second, it can deter the enemy.Thirdly, you can also increase your reputation, and if you attack other places in the future, no one will dare to resist.

"Exactly!" Xu You replied affirmatively.

"That's a way, but just withdraw the army like this?" Yuan Shao frowned, feeling a little unwilling after all, he had lost a lot of things this time.

"My lord, I think that Xu You is wronging the master and the country. Now that the war opportunity is in front of him, he is cowardly and cowardly. That Zhang Xiu is also a human being, how can he cover everything?"

"In my opinion, after taking Bowang, the army will be divided into two, galloping across Wancheng and Xinye, disturbing the hearts of the people in Jingzhou. At that time, they will set up a stronghold and encircle Zhangxiu instead."

"Isn't Xu You worried that our army will be cut off? Then our army will cut off Zhang Xiu's back path, attack from both sides, and take Zhang Xiu and his army of [-] in one fell swoop."

"So, Jingzhou is at your fingertips."

Guo Tu hurriedly clasped his fists, he couldn't let Xu You show off, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Xu You quite proudly, as if there was no way to fight with me.

"This..." Yuan Shao was moved.

Guo Tu's anti-siege moved him.

This made Xu You angry, and he immediately persuaded with a trembling voice: "My lord, Zhang Xiu should not be underestimated. If you listen to Guo Tu's words, our army will lose this battle."

The relationship between Xu You and Cao Cao is pretty good, and he got a lot of news from Cao Cao.He naturally knows Cao Cao's talent, but Cao Cao's evaluation of Zhang Xiu is frighteningly high,

"If you are born to fuck, how can you be born to embroider!"

Cao Cao was such a hero, he actually asked himself that he was not Zhang Xiu's opponent, and after three battles, Cao Cao was defeated and returned, losing three games in a row, and directly withdrew from the Central Plains.

What kind of ability is this?

You know, Zhang Xiu was just a reckless man from Beiliang in the beginning, and he inherited his uncle's thousands of remnant soldiers, and in just two or three years, he went from having nothing to separatist Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhou.

Defeat Cao Cao three times, defeat Sun Wu twice, destroy Liu Biao, flatten Zhangxian, set Jiaozhi, and secure Wanmin.

It is unbelievable that such a great achievement was accomplished by one person in two or three years.Behind these people, which one is not capable of wisdom than Jushou?

Even Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, these people are not weaker than Jushou, but even if these people assisted, they still failed to beat this person, so they were beaten more or less.

"Xu You, you're slandering me so much, but you're taking advantage of Zhang Xiu?" Guo Tu sneered, shrugging his shoulders mockingly.

"Oh, you are such a villain, how can you deserve my slander." Xu You sneered, then looked anxiously at Yuan Shao, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, that embroidery cannot be underestimated!"

"He defeated Cao Cao three times, defeated Sun Wu twice, flattened Liu Biao, chased Zhang Xian, set Jiaozhi, and so on. It can be seen that this person's military ability is extraordinary."

"Although Jushou is proficient in battle formations, he has the ability to break through formations with foreign objects, has elites to kill enemies, has strong generals to charge, and has civil servants to offer advice. Don't underestimate him!"

Xu You looked anxious, Zhang Xiu was definitely not simple, he didn't believe that Jingzhou could be pacified so easily.

"Okay, shut up." Yuan Shao waved his sleeves, quite irritated, he was most annoyed by the disagreement of his subordinates, and he didn't know what to do in this situation.

"This matter will be discussed in the future. At present, first take down Duyang, Bowang and other places."

"No!" Guo Tufengji and the others smiled.

"Hey!" Xu You shook his sleeves, sighing a little, even annoyed, his lord didn't listen to him, but listened to Guo Tu and the mediocre people, mediocre lord!
"Go, order Wen Chou to let the three armies march faster." Yuan Shao lay down, waved his hands and finished speaking, and began to close his eyes and rest his mind.

"Promise!" The personal guard responded and left.

…………

Yecheng, the study of the Houfu.

Zhang Xiushang studied the army in the middle of the night, and had already rested in the second half of the night, while Hu Che'er kept watch outside the door.

Pang Tong hurried over, looked at Hu Che'er who was like an iron tower, and couldn't help saying: "General Hu, my lord is asleep?"

"Well, my lord just fell asleep, what's the matter with the military advisor? If there's nothing important, why don't you talk about it tomorrow?" Hu Che'er felt sorry for Zhang Xiu.

But without waiting for Pang Tong's answer, he only heard a word from the room.

"Hu Er, let Shi Yuan come in!"

As he said that, Zhang Xiu also got up, took hot water from the stove, and poured a pot of Dahongpao. He had just closed his eyes and had to deal with the war again.

"Come, taste how my Dahongpao tastes!" Zhang Xiu poured a cup of tea for Pang Tong himself, and said with a chuckle.

He brewed this Dahongpao with diluted Qiongye Yulu, which tastes delicious and refreshing, not to mention refreshing, and has the effect of prolonging life.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army has gone south." Pang Tong didn't care to sip tea, but said anxiously: "At the third watch, Yuan Shao divided the army into two, and Ju Shou will command the iron cavalry to garrison Yecheng."

"He has already personally led an army of [-] to go south. It seems that he wants to break his prestige and enter Yushui so as to go straight to Xinye." Pang Tong said solemnly.

"Anthracene~? Divide into two groups?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, but then stretched his eyebrows, showing a smile: "Hehe, okay, I originally wanted Yuan Shao to live longer, but it seems that he is anxious to seek death."

"In that case, let him be fulfilled!"

"My lord, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?" Pang Tong asked with a slight frown.

"Hehe, it's not a good strategy. It's just that I didn't want to go head-to-head with Yuan Shao's 20 army, but since he divided his troops, the mere [-] army can be wiped out."

There was a smile on the corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth, and he was very confident in his words.

Of course, it was not in vain for him to be tough with an army of [-], but since Zhuge Liang was in the rear, he could defeat others without fighting, so he didn't want to be tough with Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Shao is looking for toughness, he will naturally not be timid.

"By the way, did the euphorbia warrior under Yuan Shao ever take it away?" Zhang Xiu frowned at this time, and said with some fear.

Without him, these euphorbia warriors are all heavy infantry, just like the personal guard battalion under his command, this group of euphorbia warriors are equipped with armor and euphorbia, and are very good at fighting iron cavalry.

When Yuan Shao beat Gongsun Zan back then, Gongsun Zan was particularly afraid of this euphorbia warrior, and only dared to harass him by riding and shooting. Although he suppressed the euphorbia warrior on the surface, he couldn't actually kill it at all.

It's like an archer meets a tank, can't beat shit!

"The scouts found that there should be no sign of the euphorbia warriors. It is estimated that Yuan Shao left this euphorbia warriors outside the city to guard against our army's cavalry." Pang Tong explained.

"So, Zhang Yun should also stay outside the city?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said.

He remembered that Zhang He seemed to be the general in charge of the Euphorbia warriors.

Among the four court columns in Hebei, it is estimated that there is only one Zhang Yun who is considered brave and resourceful, and he is also an indispensable general in the later period of Cao Wei, which is a pity.

However, this person's loyalty was not high, and he was forced to turn against him directly with Gao Lan.

"It's a bit difficult for Jushou to stay behind!" Zhang Xiu frowned. If it were someone else, Zhang Xiu would be very sure of getting Zhang He over, but Jushou was different.

This person's loyalty can be fully drawn directly.

Cao Cao ate, drank and entertained, but in the end he still didn't respond, and Cao Cao had no choice but to kill him.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Pang Tong was at a loss when he heard Zhang Xiu who was talking to himself.

"It's okay." Zhang Xiu waved his hand, and then asked: "Shi Yuan, what do you think is going to happen now?"

"My lord, when Yuan Shao goes south, he will definitely want to seize Bowang and other places first. If our army rushes to the rescue, it is not too late. You can write to Xiangyang and ask Wenpin to fortify the north of Xinye."

"At the same time, our army can put pressure on Jushou and defeat Yuan Jun in one fell swoop. As long as Jushou is taken down, Yuan Jun's retreat can be cut off. In this way, Yuan Shao can be taken down in one fell swoop."

Pang Tong saw it clearly.

Since Yuan Shao didn't know how to go around life and death, as long as they pierced through the frontal Jushou, Yuan Shao would collapse without fighting, which is simply stupid.

In later generations, few people would dare to do this.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "In this way, send out a letter immediately. On the one hand, let the people in Bowang and other places evacuate, and on the other hand, let Wenpin prepare to go out to the army, just in case."

"As for the front, I already have a way to defeat the enemy." Zhang Xiu sneered with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"How to defeat the enemy?"

"Hehe, Yuan Shao's 20 troops marched to the front line, and people ate horse chews. Even if he stored up food a few years ago, it should be exhausted by now. I am afraid that the entire Yanzhou is his food road, and he can just rob it."

"At that time, it is impossible for Jushou not to send troops to protect food, and he has to be cavalry. As for cavalry, hehe..."

Zhang Xiu chuckled lightly, with a gloomy expression on his face!
