[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Although Yuan Shao lost two generals one after another, he still has an advantage over Cao Cao in this battle.

Even though the death of Yan Liangwenchou had a big blow to morale, most people in Yuan Shao's camp didn't think they would lose.

Yuan Shao felt the same way.

Therefore, although he was "clamped successively" by Cao Jun's secret letters, and was so angry that he lost his mind for a moment, he quickly recovered.

He asked people to block the news that he was so angry that he almost fainted.Facing the military doctor who persuaded him not to get angry and to take care of his health, Yuan Shao waved his hand impatiently, making people back off.

Yuan Ying's counselors had already noticed that after defeating Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao became a little impetuous.This impetuousness was magnified to the extreme after the death of the two generals Cao Cao's call to action and Yan Liangwen and Chou.

As the supreme commander of Yuan Ying, Yuan Shao's personal decision is related to the life and death of the entire army.Some counselors were worried and wanted to persuade Yuan Shao and ask him to adjust his mentality.But with the growth of power, Yuan Shao's temper has also grown, and he can't tolerate others challenging his authority.

Those who tried to challenge his authority are now imprisoned in a cell, and they are accompanied by worms every day.

No one thought about Bu Tianfeng's future. This hidden worry was buried under self-interest and luck, and almost everyone kept silent.

The only exception is Jushou who was suspected by Yuan Shao because of the slander of Guo Tu and others.

Like Tian Feng, he was hated for breaking Yuan Shao's wishes several times.

But he never wavered because of this, and still fulfilled his duties as an aide.

He found Yuan Shao and advised him not to cross the river yet, but to stay in Yanjin to observe the changes.

Yuan Shao couldn't listen to his words and asked him to accompany the army on standby.

After Jushou left, Guo Tu, who was next to him, took the opportunity to slander: "Soldiers are expensive. With the strength of our army, Cao Cao has no ability to resist. Although Cao's army has a small victory, it is just a counterattack on the deathbed, and there is no big wave. Jushou Why should our army stay in Hebei (north of the river)? If we miss the opportunity and let Cao Jun have a chance to breathe, I am afraid there will be twists and turns..."

Yuan Shao remembered that several of the "Original Poems" circulated recently came from Jushou's family, and he couldn't help but get angry: "What else can be done? Jushou has long been out of his mind, and wants to use this as a credit to conceal his sincerity from Cao A."

Guo Tu lowered his head to hide the smile on his lips, and made a look of sudden realization: "My lord is wise. That being the case, if we don't cross the river earlier, we can catch Cao Cao by surprise."

Guo Tu didn't mean to contradict Jushou's opinion. The reason why he suggested Yuan Shao was because his clan brother on the other side of the river passed a key piece of information.

Based on this information, Guo Tu made a judgment: sending troops immediately would surely catch Cao Jun by surprise.

Guo Tu's proposal coincided with Yuan Shao's decision at the moment.If it is said that he still has some hesitation, he is unwilling to make hasty plans.Then, under the triple stimulation of the call to action, the "Benchu ​​Poem", and the provocation by Yan Liangwenchou's death, he has completely put aside the only hesitation he had, and just wanted to take back this bad breath from Cao Cao.

When Yuan Jun was busy crossing the river, Zheng Ping and Guo Jia were sitting opposite each other in the army tent.

Guo Jia played with the empty jug in his hand, and said to the person opposite: "The 'news' should have reached Guo Tu's ears. Guo Tu, Yuan Shao's aide, is from my hometown. With his understanding, I am afraid that today he will persuade Yuan Shao to pull out his camp and cross the river."

Zheng Pingdao: "You asked me to take advantage of the death of the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and anger Yuan Shao, in order to push Yuan Shao to make up his mind and agree with Guo Tu's proposal?"

Although it is a question, it does not mean to ask.

Guo Jia cleaned up the mess on the case in a good mood, and found a piece of linen to wipe the ink marks in his hands.

"It's up to Zhengping." Guo Jia's dark and bright eyes showed a little eagerness, "I'm curious about how Zhengping will deal with them."

Zheng Ping saw that Guo Jia was working hard to wipe the ink marks on his hands, so he handed over a water bag. After receiving the other party's thanks, Zheng Ping continued to sit with hanging sleeves, watching Guo Jia's actions.

He never had the idea of ​​being Cao Cao's counselor, and in order to avoid some troubles, he would not take the initiative to discuss matters related to the march with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao may also have tacit understanding of this, and arranged him in Wengang, without even asking whether he should be given a military post in the army because of his martial arts.

The reason why he went out with the army was originally for private affairs, and he didn't plan to interfere more.But because Guo Jia wanted to make a bet with him, he took advantage of the situation and agreed, and only then did the above two paragraphs come into being.

After wiping the mess on his hands, Guo Jia seemed to have just thought of something, and asked Zheng Ping, "You haven't told me—why did you enter Cao Jun's camp?"

Zheng Ping didn't intend to confess the reason to Guo Jia, and said casually: "I'm so bored with official duties, so I join the army for a rest."

There are too many flaws in this sentence, even if Guo Jia wanted to pretend to believe it, he couldn't convince himself.

Not even giving an excuse, You Zhengping really went too far as usual.

Although he complained about Zheng Ping thousands of times in his heart, Guo Jia never asked again, and quickly changed the subject.

Zheng Ping re-inked the ink on the case, dipped the brush lightly, and wrote words on a piece of white silk.

"Respectfully, Supervisor Ju..."

Jushou, who was far away in Yanjin, received an anonymous letter.

In the military, it is forbidden for individuals to keep secrets, and all letters will be sent to relevant people for inspection before reaching them.

It so happened that the soldiers who checked the letter belonged to the Jushou faction.After checking the content of the letter, the soldier was taken aback and dared not report it, so he quietly found Jushou himself.

Jushou knew that the letter that could make the soldiers lose their color was definitely not a letter from home, so he had a vague premonition, and this premonition was magnified to the extreme when he opened the white silk.

He thanked the soldiers who hid it for him, and hurried back to the camp.As soon as he entered it, he couldn't help clenching his fists, carving deep marks on his palm.

Yuan Shao actually listened to Guo Tu's slander and imprisoned his wife and children who had stayed in northern Hebei under house arrest.

Jushou was angry and furious, knowing that the letter had bad intentions, but still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

He didn't even need to verify, just based on Yuan Shao's recent attitude towards him and the few secrets recorded in this letter, he knew that the content described in this letter was probably true.

But he can't do anything.Yuan Shao has a deep prejudice against him now, no matter what he does, it will be futile and useless.

Ju Shou, who has been conscientiously adhering to the righteousness of a counselor, and even if he is feared and neglected, still tries his best to offer advice and advice, because of the content of this letter, he feels discouraged for the first time.

His mood was so dilapidated that he could no longer care about forbearance, and sighed chillingly:

"The lord is full of self-satisfaction, and the subordinates are eager to dig into the camp. I am afraid that this journey will not end well."

Frustrated and as if dying, he reported his illness to Yuan Shao and asked to leave.

Yuan Shao didn't think that Jushou really wanted to leave, but felt that Jushou was expressing his dissatisfaction with himself, and might even threaten him by putting down the pick because of a grudge.

Yuan Shao was even more annoyed, and his dissatisfaction with Jushou reached its peak.

At this time, he didn't know where he heard Jushou's exclamation secretly in the camp. He was extremely annoyed at Jushou's words that sounded like complaints and curses, and hated Jushou himself even more.

"Unable to die? I want to see who will die first. Put Jushou on board and let him watch how Gu defeated Cao Cao."

Yuan Shao took away Jushou's military power without hesitation, and handed over the main power to Guo Tu.

When Jushou got the news, combined with the anonymous letter with sharp words that directly poked his inner weakness, he became very ill, and the fake illness that was originally an excuse to say goodbye soon became a real illness.

Jushou asked someone to bring Yuan Shao a heartfelt letter, reminiscing about the time when the master and minister met each other, and implored Yuan Shao to let him go back to recuperate from his previous friendship and merit.

Yuan Shao was slightly moved, but Guo Tu's words dispelled his sympathy:

"Now is the critical moment of the battle, and inside and outside Jushou's supervision, many of our army's military planes are taken over by him. If he is allowed to leave at this time, what if he is captured by Cao Jun..."

Yuan Shao shivered, and woke up from the true feelings in the letter.

Guo Tu continued: "No matter what happened in the past, Jushou and the general are no longer on the same page...Moreover, even if the general sends troops to escort Jushou back to the city, he will not be allowed to contact Cao's people...Don't forget, the general, that Jushou's wife My son is still in custody, if Jushou goes back and finds out about this, wouldn't he be more resentful?"

Yuan Shao took it for granted.Jushou's relationship with him is now very rigid, and it is almost impossible to repair it.Anyway, it has already reached this level, so why should he sell it to Jushou again.

If he was released back to the base camp, Ju Shou remembered his cold treatment before, so he might not be grateful.But with Jushou's talent and his familiarity with Jibei, he didn't know what he would do with resentment in his heart.

Even if Yuan Shao accepts the name of this villain, he is absolutely unwilling to let Jushou go back, let go of any possibility of threatening the rear at the critical moment.

The rear base camp must not be chaotic, and he must not take this risk.

"Gongze is right, Gu almost lost sight of each other."

Guo Tu said humbly: "My lord values ​​love and righteousness, but Tu is not. So he is more ruthless than my lord."

Yuan Shao was very comfortable with Guo Tu's quiet flattery, he forgot the dullness from Jushou and the soft-shelled turtles he had eaten these days, and paid more attention to Guo Tu.

Guo Tu was also "considerate" and said: "If the general cannot make up his mind and doesn't know how to deal with Jushou, Tu can do it for him."

Yuan Shao really didn't think about how to treat Jushou, and thought that Guo Tu has always been good at solving problems for himself, so he said: "Then I will entrust this matter to you... Hold your speed and don't go too far."

Guo Tu should go down.Turning around, he sent someone to tie Jushou into rice dumplings and catch him on board, and also sent someone to pass on a message to him.

"The lord has an order: this is the critical time of the battle, even if the Jujian army dies, they should die in the camp and not leave without authorization."

This sentence not only made Jushou's illness worse, but also made half of Yuan Jun's soldiers and staff either fight for Jushou's injustice, or feel sad.

Not long after, Yuan Jun successfully crossed the river.

Just as Yuan Jun was getting ready to disembark and had hung up the wooden planks to go ashore, the water near the mouth of the river suddenly rose sharply, forming torrents that scattered Yuan Shao's boats.

Yuan Shao made a decisive decision and let the water-permeable soldiers go ashore before the water rose completely, and helped the people on the boat to fix the boat with ropes, but it still couldn't keep up with the rapid tide.

The fleet was washed away by the ice flood, and some small boats were overturned by the current, floating up and down on the shore.

At this moment, a pair of cavalry rushed out of the woods connecting the river bank and raised their crossbows towards them.
