Chapter 483 Yuan Shao prepares for war
"Your Excellency, you are not willing to lead troops to support the two generals of Yu Jin and Le Jin." Just as Lv Bu hesitated, someone stood up and asked Lv Bu to fight. Lv Bu saw that this person was none other than Zhang Xiu, the governor of Hanoi.
"I don't know how many soldiers the general is going to lead?" Lv Bu did not agree directly, but asked after a little consideration. It must defeat Wen Chou this time and destroy Yuan Shao's 50,000 army. I think Yuan Shao is not good at it. It is possible to lead a large army to come to Hanoi to find trouble at any time. If Zhang Xiu takes away too many people, Hanoi's defense will become a problem.
"I only need 10,000 elite soldiers." After a little meditation, Zhang Xiu replied to Lv Bu.
"In this case, General Lao will go there. During this period, I will stay in Hanoi and wait for the general to return triumphantly." Lv Bu nodded and said.
"Thank you, General." Seeing that Lv Bu agreed, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed. Although Zhang Xiu only brought 10,000 soldiers from Hanoi, Zhang Xiujiu was in Hanoi and was very familiar with the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain. Zhang Xiu's general Guo Daxian came from the yellow scarf, so Zhang Xiu had the intention to use this relationship and mobilize the yellow scarf army from the beginning. Come on, even if Yan Liang led the army out, Zhang Xiu was not afraid.
"Lord Prime Minister, if the war situation is unfavorable, how should Wen Chou deal with it?" Just as Zhang Xiu was about to take the order to leave, Dian Wei took a step forward and asked Lv Bu. You should know that Lv Bu and Wen Chou have some friendship. This time, Yu Jin and Le Jin escorted Wen Chou to the Shang Party. Although with the help of Zhang Xiu, once the war was ignored, Yan Liang was allowed to save Wen Chou? In the case of not being able to win, it has become a thorny problem to kill Wen Chou first. Wen Chou must be an important figure in Yuan Shao's army. The life and death of such a figure will play a considerable role in the war between the later period and Yuan Shao.
"What do you think of Mr. Guo Jia?" Lv Bu frowned on this question, but he didn't know what to do for a moment, so he asked Guo Jia next to him.
"It depends on the purpose of the battle of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister only teaches Yuan Shao a lesson to occupy Bingzhou at the same time, then there is no need to kill Wen Chou. If the Prime Minister wants to completely solve Yuan Shao's power, it is better to cut off Yuan Shao's wings as soon as possible." Seeing Lv Bu asking him a question, Guo Jia thought for a moment and said to Lv Bu with a smile. Guo Jia said this not exactly to give advice to Lv Bu, but Guo Jia also wants to know the real purpose of Lv Bu's dispatch of troops to Hanoi this time. If Lv Bu just wants to teach Yuan Shao a lesson, then, after teaching Yuan Shao a lesson, I'm afraid that Lv Bu will immediately lead the army south to deal with Yuan Shu, and this will undoubtedly be good for Cao Cao. The plan has a significant impact, and if Lv Bu is ready to fight with Yuan Shao and calm down the north first, it will be a different scene for Cao Cao, who swallows troops.
"Hahaha, it's better to be filial and resourceful." Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lv Bu laughed and turned to Zhang Xiu and said, "If you can't do anything, then let Wenchou live."
When Lv Bu arranged his own plan in Hanoi, in Ye City, Jizhou, Yuan Shao and Manzuo Wenwu were looking at a volume of edicts with joy. This was an edict sent by the court to make Yuan Shao a general. Since then, Yuan Shao has become the fourth prince of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao's honors are not the same as Yuan Shu's self-proposed emperor, compared with Yuan Shu's besieged by the princes, Yuan Shao's situation at this time is much better.
"Ha ha, it seems that Lv Bu still dares not underestimate me. I just wrote to the court for a seal, and he immediately agreed, but there was no delay at all." Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Yuan Shao said with some joy.
"General, although Lv Bu met the general's requirements, he mobilized 100,000 elite soldiers to Sizhou, and Gao Shun occupied half of Bingzhou. The general still had to plan early." Seeing Yuan Shao's proud expression, Ju Shu got up and said to Yuan Shao. Although there seems to be no disadvantage in the current situation, Ju Shu has seen a crisis from it. Now Lv Bu's power has expanded to four and a half states. As long as Lv Bu fights steadily, it is difficult for Yuan Shao to pose a threat to Lv Bu, which Yuan Shao does not seem to see.
"General, now Gao Shun has entered Bingzhou. I heard that Lv Bujun has also colluded with the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain. If they associate with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou again, they are likely to make waves. Please ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible." Ju Shu just felt that it was not good, but Tian Feng saw it more clearly. Gao Shun's troops entering Bingzhou may not occupy the whole Bingzhou. As long as the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain is united, coupled with Gongsun Zan, who is still stubbornly resisting in Youzhou, then this force is enough to compete with Yuan Shao in Hebei, making Yuan Shao difficult to sleep and eat. And Lv Bu can work hard to deal with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. In time, Lv Bu's strength will be irresistible. And Yuan Shao will definitely fall behind.
"Why do you two need to raise other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige? Gongsun Zan is just a dying person. As long as Yuan Gong moves his fingers a little, he will make Gongsun Zan disappear in an instant. Although the Yellow Turban Army is known as a million, he is just a native chicken and dog. When Zhang Jiao was there, he did not have any climate. Now he is just hiding in the mountains and surviving. What kind of climate can he achieve? As for Gao Shun, he is just a small official under Ding Yuan. It is only because he follows Lv Bu that he has his current status. However, although Gao Shun has a high status in Lv Bu's army, he has been well-fed over the years. He is only taking care of Lv Bu's home in the rear. Such generals and our army can be destroyed. In this way, the boundary of Hebei is still the territory of our army. Seeing that Ju Shu and Tian Feng were extremely serious about the situation in front of them, Guo Tu jumped out and curled his lips, but raised an objection.
"Report, a military report came from the front line. General Wenchou was defeated, and 50,000 troops were completely destroyed." Just as everyone was still arguing, a soldier rushed in from the outside and reported to Yuan Shao.
"What?" Hearing the soldier's report, Yuan Shao was immediately shocked, because the court swept away the joy it brought to the general, but then Yuan Shao came to his senses and then asked, "Where are Wen Chou and Ju Yi? Why don't you bring them to me?" Yuan Shao did not see Wen Chou and Ju Yi. He only thought that Wen Chou and Ju Yi did not appear because the whole army did not feel ashamed to see him, so he roared angrily.
"My lord, the two generals Wen Chou and Ju Yi have been captured by Lv Bujun." The soldier replied quickly.
"What? Even Wenchou and Ju Yi were also captured alive? If the destruction of the whole army of 50,000 troops shocked Yuan Shao, then the capture of Wen Chou and Ju Yi made Yuan Shao more unbelievable. Wen Chou and Ju Yi were both people in Yuan Shao's army. Such figures failed so completely, so Yuan Shao could not imagine that he and Lv Bu would start a full-scale war. After that, how thoroughly you will fail.
"Has Lv Bu arrived in Hanoi?" Just when Yuan Shao was in shock and didn't know what to do, Xu You, who was beside him, keenly grasped the point and asked the soldier.
"Yes, some of the soldiers who escaped did see Lv Bu appear." Hearing Xu You's question, the soldier replied hesitantly.
"Lord, since Lv Bu has arrived in Hanoi, the failure of General Wen Chou and General Ju Yi is not enough for him." Hearing the soldier's answer, Xu You finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Yuan Shao and said.
"Has Lv Bu arrived in Hanoi? What do you think?" After learning the news that Lv Bu came to Hanoi, everyone's faces were loose. With Lv Bu's strength, the failure of Wen Chou and Ju Yi was reasonable.
"Lord, since Lv Bu came to Hanoi, we just concentrated all our troops and completely destroyed Lv Bu." There was a light in Guo Tu's eyes. He suddenly stood up and said to Yuan Shao.
"Guo Tu, do you want the Lord to perish in World War I?" Hearing Guo Tu's opinion, Tian Feng stood up in shock and roared at Guo Tu.
"Huh, Mr. Tian Feng, don't you mean that our army will face the pressure of Gongsun Zan, Huang Turban Army and Lv Bu. Is the situation grim? For today's plan, only by going all out and eliminating Lv Bu can we turn our army into safety. Does our army still have to wait for the enemy to slowly eat it? Guo Tu snorted coldly and raised Tian Feng's words.
"This." Tian Feng was speechless for a moment when he was said by Guo Tu's words. It is true that the situation Yuan Shao is facing now is not optimistic. The comprehensive attack is indeed not a big win, but if he does not take the initiative to attack, he has no intention of sitting and waiting for death.
"Master, please be calm and don't be impatient. Although Lv Bu is fierce this time, in fact, this is just Lv Bu's secret trick. It must be that Lv Bu's biggest enemy now is Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu became emperor in Shouchun. Lv Bu had to take action against Yuan Shu. It's just because the lord is in Hebei and the threat to Lv Bu is greater, so Lv Bu will Send troops into Bingzhou and want to unite with Gongsun Zan and the Yellow Turban Army. In fact, Lv Bu's goal is just to delay our army before dealing with Yuan Shu. Now, as long as our army shows sincerity and Lv Bu is unwilling to embarrass our army, our army can find a suitable fighter when Lv Bu and Yuan Shu go to war. Destroy these two strong enemies in one fell swoop. He Tian Feng and Guo Tu's views are different, but Xu You's view is much more optimistic, but this optimism is based on a judgment that Lv Bu does not want to make a final battle with Yuan Shao.
"Xu You, you and Lv Bu also had some friendship in those years. You worked hard to go to Hanoi to meet Lv Bu and listen to what he said." After Yuan Shao's eyes flashed for a while, it was difficult to make a decision, and he didn't want to give up Xu You's suggestion, so he said to Xu You. Of course, before Xu You and Lv Bu reached an agreement, Yuan Shao still had to mobilize all forces to prepare for the war. After all, only strong strength is the foundation of any negotiation.
