The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 309 Xu Youwei

"To rob food!" Pang Tong said.

The four eyes met, the brows that were originally tightly frowned slowly relaxed, but instead showed a hint of a smile, teasingly said: "My lord, do you want to divide and annihilate them?"

"Ju Shou shouldn't be underestimated. If he faces him head-on, with Zhang He's euphorbia warriors, I'm afraid there's really nothing to do with him in a short time, that's all we can do." Zhang Xiu explained.

"In this way, tell Yanzhou, the Anbu in Yuzhou, before tomorrow night, you must inquire about Yuan Jun's grain transportation node and report to me."

"At that time, no matter whether we take this batch of military rations or eat the reinforcements sent by Jushou, Yuan Jun will be hurt. Once the military rations are destroyed, Yuan Shao will definitely send someone to rush to transport the rations."

Zhang Xiu's brows were solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

"No! I'm going to notify the Anbu in the Central Plains and let them investigate quickly, but I'm afraid there will be no results in such a short period of time." Pang Tong replied.

"It doesn't matter, let Zilong tell Zilong that his subordinate Canglong Yunqi is always on standby in recent days, ready to go and rob food with me at any time." Zhang Xiu ordered again.

"I have already explained this matter to Zilong during the day."

Pang Tong replied: "By the way, my lord, Yuan Shao is letting him go deep now? Why don't you send people to harass him? Otherwise, with their rapid marching speed, I'm afraid they will threaten Xiangyang."

"Hehe, don't worry. There are still Wenpin stationed in Xinye. What's more, the farther Yuan Jun runs, the better. The faster they run, the more people will die."

Zhang Xiu said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Pang Tong shook his head helplessly, it seemed that the lord had planned a strategy and was going to deal with Yuan Shao himself.

Then, he resigned and left.

Watching Pang Tong sink into the night, Zhang Xiu left the study room, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the starry sky.The starry sky was full of stars, but Zhang Xiu was in a daze.

Maybe he can win some of them, but after all, Jizhou is the base of the Yuan family, and it is impossible for him to win it in a short time.Just like the later Cao Cao, it took seven or eight years to defeat Guandu before occupying Hebei.

This is the result of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's internal struggle.

Now that Yuan Tan is dead and Yuan Shang is dominant, even if Yuan Shao dies, Jizhou will not be as chaotic as it is in later generations.On the contrary, it does nothing good for yourself.

Hopefully, this war can end sooner.

Let the people of the world return to normal life.

……

The next day, at dusk.

Outside Yecheng, inside Yuan Jun's camp.

Jushou was talking about the next strategic layout with Zhang He, Gao Lan and others, when he heard a hurried voice resounding throughout the general's mansion.

"Report~, urgent dispatch from Jizhou."

"Jizhou urgent? Submit it quickly." Ju Shou frowned and said in a deep voice.

The messenger obviously knew Jushou, he hesitated a little, but stepped forward and handed over the letter.

Ju Shou took it. There were two letters in total. They were opened, one was from Xu You, and the other was from Jizhou.

Ju Shou glanced around, frowning involuntarily, lost in thought.After reading the two letters, Ju Shou reprimanded the surrounding guards.

Seeing this, Zhang He Gao Lan looked at each other.

They faintly realized that something was wrong, and they were afraid that there was something wrong in Jizhou. Zhang Xi couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "Military division, but what happened to Jizhou?"

"No, not Jizhou."

Ju Shou shook his head, handed the letter to the two, and at the same time he fell into deep thought.

For a moment, Zhang He and Gao Lan were shocked.

He even looked angry, and shouted: "This Xu You really doesn't know how to live or die. At such a juncture, he wants to collude with Zhang Xiu and plot for military rations. This is a capital crime."

"Military Master, there is no hesitation here. Pass this letter directly to the lord. I think the lord will imprison Xu You even if he doesn't kill him." Gao Lan echoed.

"That's right, Xu You, relying on the backing of the master, doesn't take us seriously at all, and even indulges his eldest son to enrich his own pocket, which is an even worse crime."

Zhang He was really angry and shouted.

"You two generals, don't jump to conclusions. Although this letter is similar to Xu You's handwriting, it seems to be a copy. It should not be written by him."

"What's more, the military situation is urgent, and temporarily punishing Xu You is not good for the morale of the army. After this battle is over, I will think of the Lord to report the evil deeds of Xu's father and son one by one."

Jushou thought for a moment, but chose to take the overall situation into consideration. At this moment, it would not be a wise decision to force Xu You.

"But military division, it's okay if Xu You is used to being arrogant, but his son is also arrogant. My brothers under my command have said this many times before, but..."

Gao Lan frowned and said.

"Military division, Xu You is extremely greedy for money, and it is not impossible for him to be bribed. He asked to withdraw his troops many times before, and his intentions are suspicious. This matter probably has something to do with Zhang Xiu."

"Take a step back, even if they have no contact, but there is a letter from Jizhou, which accuses Xu You's eldest son of all kinds of evil deeds, and wants to impeach this person, so why don't you turn a blind eye to it?"

Zhang He was also displeased, and said in a cold voice.

"Okay, I know that the two generals have long disliked Xu You's actions, but this time the expedition to Zhangxiu in the south should focus on the overall situation. It's a trivial matter, and we will talk about it after the class teacher."

Ju Shou waved his hand, denying the two people's thoughts.

"But..." Zhang He and Gao Lan wanted to speak out.

"Okay, let's just put it this way, we all go down and prepare at all times. As for Ye Cheng's stalking, we will report the news every quarter of an hour." Ju Shou didn't want to discuss this matter any more.

In his opinion, although the letter showed that Xu You and Zhang Xiu were in collusion, the handwriting did not look like Xu You's. It was probably someone deliberately trying to sow discord.

In this case, he can't fall into the trap.

"No!" The two were a little aggrieved, and while responding, they turned around and left.They really couldn't understand why Ju Shou wanted to protect Xu You.

This kind of flatterer should be executed.

Watching the two leave, Ju Shou frowned, thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Handwriting is not the key, the key is the feasibility of this matter.If Xu You really betrayed his master for glory, then he would be a sinner through the ages.

Because Xu You knew too much.

"Could it be...Xu You really invested in Zhang Xiu's camp because of the money? It shouldn't be!" Ju Shou was also hesitating in his heart, and he didn't know if this person had received money.

…………

It's five watch,

It is the darkest night, the coldest time, and the sleepiest time.

Not long after Ju Shou closed his eyes, he heard the calling of the guards outside the room.Immediately, he was shocked, put on his robe in twos and walked out of the tent.

"What's wrong?" Ju Shou asked with a frown.

"Military division, there is a change in the enemy's army. It was just four o'clock, and Zhang Xiu personally led an iron cavalry to break through our army's heavy blockade. It seems that they should have gone north."

The sentinel said something quickly.

"North?" Ju Shou showed suspicion. Shouldn't Zhang Xiu's support be heading south? Why...

Thinking of this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"No, Zhang Xiu is trying to rob our military supply road." Jushou shouted anxiously.

At the same time, an idea appeared in his mind.How did Zhang Xiu know the grain transportation node?Except for those in Jizhou and Yuan Shao and others at this grain transportation node,

He and his son are the most suspected suspects.

"Could Xu You really treason?" Ju Shou glared, a little annoyed.

But now that Zhang Xiu is going north in person, he must have known his side's grain transportation node before going there. The only person who can leak this kind of secret is probably him.

"Quickly summon Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals." Ju Shou said eagerly to his personal guards.

The current situation is urgent.

Zhang Xiu went to the expedition, but if they were too slow, [-]% of the food would be gone.But now there is not much food in this place, except for people eating horse chews, it won't last long.

Therefore, food and grass cannot be thrown away.

"Xu You, since you gave up your great cause for your own self-interest, then don't blame me for being unrighteous." Ju Shou narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

The main thing is that these two things are so coincidental that everyone will think of them together, especially Xu You is greedy for money, I'm afraid he can't resist the temptation of money.

…………

After a while, Gao Lan and Zhang He came in armor.

"Military Master, what's the matter?" Zhang He asked with cupped fists.

"Our army's grain transportation node may have been exposed. Just now the scouts sent news that Zhang Xiu is leading more than ten thousand cavalry. Even if we can't get ahead of them, we have to stop them."

Jushou said with a serious face.

"Exposed? How could a well-behaved man be exposed? Could it be that there is an insider in our army... Xu You?" Zhang Yun hurriedly spoke out, a little angry.

"Military division, this Xu You has already colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Do you still want to protect him?" Zhang Yun asked immediately.

"Jun Yi, don't worry, I have sent someone to send the letter to the lord for trial. But before that, our army must stop Zhang Xiu, and prevent him from robbing the grain road."

Ju Shou said very solemnly.

Ju Shou knew that he had no choice at the moment, and food supply was the most important thing. Once he was robbed, unless someone rescued him, his end would be very troublesome and even lead to defeat.

"Since the military division has made an arrangement, I must abide by it." Zhang Yun said, "In this way, I will take the iron cavalry north to pursue Zhang Xiujun."

"Junyi, you have euphorbia warriors staying here, and you can't leave them at will. In this way, Gao Lan, you command [-] cavalry, and you must catch up with Zhang Xiu day and night."

Ju Shou looked at Gao Lan and spoke solemnly.

"Promise, the last general will fulfill his mission."

Gao Lan became interested in an instant. These are [-] cavalry, and he has never personally led them in his life.That being the case, he must win this battle.

"Having confidence is a good thing, but remember, Zhang Xiu has all kinds of foreign objects, which are unpredictable. He can drive back many war horses, so you must be careful."

With a solemn expression, Ju Shou said exhortingly.

He has heard that when a war horse sees this kind of thing, it will immediately run around without being controlled by anyone. This still needs to be paid attention to.

"Hehe, don't worry, military commander. I will pay attention to trivial matters. Let's see how I defeat the enemy." Gao Lan said with a bold expression.

As the two left, Ju Shou looked up at the starry sky.

After a long time, he seemed to have seen Xu You's ending, and he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly, showing a trace of helplessness, guessing that with Yuan Shao's character, Xu You would not live long.

When the sky is dim,
A team of tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city.

For the first time, Gao Lan felt that he was doing well again.

…………

At noon, on an official road.

After receiving the water bag from Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu took a few gulps, with a sweet and happy sound in his throat.

"My lord, Jushou really sent someone here." Zhao Yun looked a little eager to try, he could finally make meritorious service in this battle, if he didn't continue, he would go crazy.

"Hehe," Zhang Xiu chuckled. He overestimated Anbu's ability. He thought that he could easily find the food transportation node, but Anbu went to many places, but he couldn't find it.

In the end, Zhang Xiu could only gamble.

This time he went out of the city, pretending to rob food, but in fact he wanted to set up people sent by Fu Jushou. As long as he can eat this group of people, even if his family has a great career, Yuan Shao will feel heartbroken.

"Do you know who is leading the army?" Zhang Xiu wiped the corner of his mouth and asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to my lord, it is the enemy general Gao Lan who leads the army, commanding more than [-] iron cavalry. According to their deduction, it is estimated that they will catch up in more than an hour."

Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation and explained to them.

For more than an hour, it was necessary to fight and meet to avoid accidental injury later.

"Zilong, since Gao Lan is leading the army this time, how do you think we will defeat the enemy this time?" Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Yun and said with a small smile on his lips.

"My lord, Gao Lan is so successful, he is not as calm as Zhang Yun, and this time he is fighting more and less, and this battle is a pursuit battle, I am afraid he will underestimate the enemy and break the enemy forcefully."

"I will keep [-] iron cavalry to stay in the front, drawing the attention of the enemy army, and another [-] iron cavalry will gallop around and turn around, cut off the army in the center, and cut off contact."

"And I will personally lead the remaining 4000 people to circle a large circle and kill from the rear of the three armies. All the way to Changhong, they will directly penetrate the enemy's cavalry formation and disrupt their minds so that they can win without a fight."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking vowedly, he looked at Zhang Xiu, implying that the latter would affirm it.

"Three-stage attack, meeting the enemy, breaking the waist, and attacking the tail. If the front line does not collapse, the enemy's morale will inevitably be lost." Zhang Xiu nodded in approval.

Three-stage attack is also commonly used.

"In this way, I will help you defend the front line, Zhao Fan, you lead the central army to assist Zilong to attack the enemy's waist. As for Zilong, you personally lead the rest of the cavalry to cut off the tail of his army."

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Yun and began to make arrangements.

"No!" Zhao Yun responded excitedly.If it had been before, he was still worried that the front line would be a bit unsafe, after all, the breakthrough point of this formation was in the front line.

But Zhang Xiu actually took over the front line, so he doesn't have to worry, at least Zhang Xiu is much stronger than these generals.

"Okay, the front is wide, and you tell the three armies that there will be a battle next. Let them go to rest first." Zhang Xiu said.

"Promise!" Zhao Yun agreed.

……

After a long time, Canglong Yunqi began to disperse.

The two legions continued north, preparing to make a detour.As for Zhang Xiu, he led the remaining [-] cavalry to line up in place, looking fearless.

Of course, the source of fearlessness is something Zhang Xiu prepared in advance.

wait a long time,
At this time, Yuan Jun cavalry came to kill.Gao Lan glanced at it from a distance, and couldn't help but snorted coldly. They were Jizhou iron cavalry, but they were elite cavalry selected after the death of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.

This group of cavalry is very good at walking and shooting.

But the embroidery on the opposite side seems a little contemptuous.

"Look, general, the enemy troops are waiting in formation, what's the meaning of this?" The guard next to him pointed to the situation in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, iron cavalry is used to form an array. It's stupid. It's really stupid. Don't worry if you pass on the order. This Zhang Xiu is weird. Let the brothers kill slowly and go around to both sides at the same time."

Gao Lan glanced at the open area and said.
