In the Chinese army's tent at Yijing Camp, Yuan Shao had been discussing military strategies with his civil servants since early in the morning. However, when it was almost noon, he still could not come up with a result. It was not that he was afraid. The fact that they were defeated by the Bohai Navy in a row was due to a sudden change in the situation in Youzhou - the three-way Montenegrin Army, which was already in the process of retreating suddenly, suddenly stopped its withdrawal and turned around to gather in Shangquyang, gathering more than 100,000 troops. , put on a posture of competing for Youzhou with the Jizhou Army. In this way, which route of enemies should be defeated first has become a thorny problem in front of the Jizhou Army.
Headache, extremely headache. Since the rebellion, Yuan Shao has been accustomed to smooth sailing with the family reputation of the Three Dukes of the Western World. Although he has been defeated a few times, in general, the Jizhou Army is facing Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan. During the two armies, they have always attacked more and defended less, firmly grasping the strategic initiative. This time, they wiped out such a powerful enemy as Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop. It should have been a brilliant victory, but since Gongsun Zan was defeated, Ming, this kid with a yellow mouth suddenly appeared, and everything changed unconsciously. With our own side losing consecutive battles, the current situation is actually a bit of a dilemma - although Zhang Yan's troops are ruthless bandits, they can't. The victory is that there are many people and horses, and many soldiers who dare to fight will die. If the main force is not used to fight, they will take the opportunity to seize the territory of Youzhou. The problem is that if the main force goes to fight Zhang Yan, who can lead the partial army? Block the Bohai Navy's front? Didn't Yan Liang end up in a mess? Yuan Shao really didn't dare to expect the other generals to defeat Gongsun Xiao'er, who was as cunning as a fox.
"Report, my lord, Gongsun Xiaoer suddenly led his troops to withdraw from Wen'an and is heading south at high speed. His intention is unknown."
Just when Yuan Shao had a headache and a fever, he saw a reporter walking in from outside the tent covered in sweat. He rushed to the copywriter in a few strides, kneeled on the ground towards Yuan Shao, and reported breathlessly. One sentence.
"oh?"
When Yuan Shao heard what Ma said, there was a look of suspicion on Yuan Shao's face. For no other reason, the Bohai Navy and the Black Mountain Army were now at odds with each other, making the Jizhou Army extremely uncomfortable. In other words In short, with the successive victories of the Bohai Navy, the initiative in the battle has actually slipped away from the Jizhou Army unknowingly. Under this situation, the Bohai Navy obviously has no need to withdraw its troops in a hurry. There was something fishy, but Yuan Shao couldn't figure out what the secret was for a while.
"My lord, Gongsun is cunning by nature, and his sudden withdrawal of troops will surely lead to evil intentions. You must be on guard against it."
The reason why Yan Liang's troops were attacked by fire in the previous episode was not without Yan Liang's own arrogance, but Guo Tu's random remarks were also one of the reasons. For this reason, after his defeat, he was scolded by Yuan Shao. For a time, the status of the six counselors was somewhat unstable. In order to restore his image, Guo Tu was extremely active during today's military meeting, and this time was no exception. He didn't even wait for Yuan Shao to ask questions. Being a monkey, he eagerly grabbed it out and remonstrated loudly.
"Well...what do you think of this matter?"
Although Guo Tu was extremely positive, Yuan Shao obviously did not forgive him and did not comment on what he said. He just said noncommittally and left the matter.
"My lord, I think what Gongze said is not unreasonable. In my opinion, this must be Gongsun Xiaoer's plan to retreat in order to advance. He pretended to retreat, but in fact he was waiting for our army to fight to the death with the Black Mountain Army so that he could assassinate the tiger at Bianzhuang. The plan."
Xin Ping and Guo Tu were both the backbone of Yuan Tan's family, and they had a mutually beneficial relationship. Naturally, they couldn't just sit back and watch Guo Tu being treated coldly, so they snatched him out from the side and shouted at Guo Tu. What he said was explained in depth.
"Zhongzhi (the word of Xin Ping) is totally wrong. Although Gongsun Xiao'er is extremely treacherous, he only has 30,000 soldiers. No matter who wins or loses between our army and the Black Mountain bandits, they cannot be shaken. Therefore, the so-called The Bianzhuang thorn tiger has no way to use it. According to someone, this tiger suddenly withdrew its troops in order to paralyze our army. It tried to take advantage of the battle between our army and the Montenegrin army to suddenly attack my back with a surprise force. Its intentions can be described as sinister. Jiji, anyone who cannot realize this is a mediocre person!"
Shen Pei was already at odds with Guo Tu, and during this expedition he almost died because of Guo Tu's repeated lies. He didn't want to see the possibility of Guo Tu being re-employed again, and Yuan Shao didn't even wait for Xin When the commentator's explanation was expressed, he strode out of the queue and disparaged both Guo and Xin unceremoniously.
"you……"
As soon as the judge's harsh words came out, Guo Tu was so angry that his eyes were filled with stars, and he opened his mouth to argue with the judge.
"What Zhengnan said is very much in line with my wishes. Let me tell you how our army should go."
In fact, Yuan Shao had not yet understood the motive behind the Bohai Navy's sudden retreat, but because he hated Guo Tu, he openly supported Shen Pei.
"My lord is wise and thinks that Zhang Yan is just a bandit. He has no ambitions and no capable ministers or generals to support him. Although his troops are many, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs. They are nothing to be afraid of. Even if they are given the territory, this beast He also has no ability to govern. In this case, it doesn't hurt to let some cities go. On the contrary, although Gongsun Xiaoer has few soldiers and horses, his ambition is not small. If he doesn't plan early, he will be in big trouble in the future. Therefore, I think I should get one. The partial force defended Yi Jing to defend Zhang Yan, while the main force quickly went south, first annihilating Gongsun Xiaoer, and then returned to the main force to fight the Black Mountain bandits. In this way, the land of Hebei will be secure. With this foundation, the world will be It’s so big that it’s not difficult to unify it!”
Although Shen Pei's mind is not very broad, his military and political skills are by no means bad. At least he is quite insightful in terms of the overall situation. After saying this, not only Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly, but also most of the people in the tent. Showing joy.
"Well, okay, who dares to guard Yijing for me?"
Hearing what Shen Pei said, Yuan Shao's eyes immediately lit up. Without giving Guo and Xin another chance to interrupt, he looked around the generals in the tent with great interest and asked a question loudly: .
"The general will be willing to ask for orders to do it."
Defending the city is hard work, and nothing is more satisfying than killing the enemy in battle. Besides, facing hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain bandits, Yi Jingcheng is obviously not that easy to defend. Because of this, no matter how good Yuan Shao's eyes are, Eager, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and even Zhang He and other important generals in the army stood firmly. Only Zhenwei General Jiang Qi (also known as Yiqu) did not have so many worries and stood up proudly.
"Okay, with the Yi Canal here, our army has no worries. I give you 30,000 soldiers and horses. We must defend Yijing firmly. Don't fight hard when thieves come. It's good to hold firmly. The rest of the troops will set off early tomorrow morning and march all the way to Yi Jing. March southeast and strive to annihilate Bohai County in one fell swoop!"
Jiang Yiqu has always been good at guarding, and Yuan Shao has always been aware of it. Now that he has come forward to ask for orders, Yuan Shao has no reason not to agree.
"My lord is wise!"
Seeing that Yuan Shao had made up his mind and all the civil and military officials had no objections, they all praised him. Only Ju Shou frowned and twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to speak, but in the end But he didn't say it out loud...
