Chapter 539 Domestic and Foreign Difficulty
"Ha ha, the Prime Minister is so confident that he has made up his mind. Why do you have to play an axe at the class?" Guo Jia smiled and did not make a deal. Since Lv Bu did not discuss with anyone, he had ordered Zhang He and Gao Lan to send troops to Jizhou, which showed that Lv Bu had a decision in his mind, and even if others had any ideas, I'm afraid Lv Bu might not accept it. The reason why Lv Bu asked Guo Jia is to understand Guo Jia's views on him. He wants to know whether Guo Jia still can't let go of Cao Cao and is still unwilling to work under his command.
"Hahaha." After listening to Guo Jia's words, Lv Bu laughed up to the sky, and then sent an order to the soldiers around him, "Give me a letter of war to Yuan Shao, saying that I will step on Jinyang in a month, and use this battle to decide and belong in the future."
Lv Bu's face was solemn and very serious when he spoke. Even the people around him felt that Lv Bu was really going to fight with Yuan Shao this time, but this was obviously contrary to his previous approach.
However, he said that after Yuan Shao received Lv Bu's war letter, he quickly summoned the ministers to discuss, "Lv Bu asked me to fight in Jinyang a month later. This is Lv Bu's war letter. What do you think?" Yuan Shao took out a scroll of documents and shook it in front of the ministers, and then asked.
"Lv Bu wants to fight a decisive battle with our army. Our army just took advantage of this month to prepare well, and then defeated Lv Bu in the first battle, Yang and drove Lv Bu out of Hebei." As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, he saw a strong man fighting out and saying. Everyone looked at this person as no one else. It was Wen Chou, a general transferred by Yuan Shao from Jizhou. Wen Chou and Yan Liang were sworn brothers. When they heard that Yan Liang had been killed by Lv Bu, they had been trying to avenge Yan Liang, but there had been no chance. Now when they came to Jinyang, they learned that Lv Bu was close to the party. Naturally, they tried their best to fight for Yan Liang. Revenge.
"General, it's a little strange at this time. Since Lv Bu arrived at the Shang Party, he first defeated our army. However, Lv Bu did not take the opportunity to expand the results and pursue him. After that, he did not send troops to attack Jinyang. At this time, he kept mobilating troops to Bingzhou and said that he would fight with our army in a month. I really don't understand why Lv Bu took advantage of our army's weakest. Attack Jinyang, but wait until our army is reorganized. I'm afraid there will be some conspiracy." Suddenly, when he heard the news that Lv Bu made an appointment to fight against Yuan Shao, Ju Shu felt that the matter was not simple, but he didn't figure out what was simple, so he said.
"Lv Bu, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is more than 10,000 people under one person. Can he still make a joke? I don't think this matter is as serious as you think. You must worry too much about it. Although Ju Shu's suspicion is very reasonable, some generals still feel that Lv Bu will never be right, and it must cause incalculable losses to Lv Bu's prestige.
"Ha ha, can General Han Meng trust Lv Bu so much?" Ju Shu turned his head and looked at the general who had just spoken. Seeing that this person was Han Meng, he retorted rudely.
When Ju Shu said this, everyone on the court was shocked and turned to Han Meng. Han Meng was even more panicked and said, "How can you say that? My loyalty to the general can be seen from the sun and the moon."
"Ha ha, General Han Meng's Ju Shu just said it casually and didn't mean to target General Han." For Han Meng's attitude, Ju Shu was obviously expected. He only listened to Ju Shu and said, "Although Ju Shu's words are a little offensive to General Han Meng, it is ugly. I want you generals to understand that Lv Bu is our enemy, and the most stupid thing on the battlefield is to believe in your own enemy, Lv Bushhen. With the art of war, you naturally know that soldiers are tricky, and the deception can't be more ordinary.
Ju Shu's words obviously made everyone feel a bright eye, but then it was a little hazy. You can't believe that your enemy is naturally good on the battlefield, but how to judge the enemy's actions? In this matter, the biggest problem is how to deal with it next.
"Mr. Ju Shu, don't sell it. Let's talk about how we should deal with it now." At this time, Yuan Shao couldn't do it any more. He stood up and asked the giant beast. At this time, Yuan Shao began to miss Tian Feng and Feng Ji. If these people were around, he could indeed discuss with these people, and he would not feel helpless in the face of the current situation.
"Although we don't know what Lv Bu's goal is, one important thing is that we must not be led by Lv Bu. Now the reason why Lv Bu can master the initiative of the whole Bingzhou and even Hebei battlefield is for one reason, that is, Lv Bu has mastered Xiao Guan and can use the fastest time. I arranged my soldiers and horses in Bingzhou or Jizhou, so I think the key to fighting with Lv Bu is not Shangdang or Jinyang, but in Xiaoguan. Now Lv Bu is not a decisive battle with us? It's better to prepare according to the specifications of the decisive battle, but this battlefield is not Lv Bu's Jinyang, but Xiao Guan. As long as our army can take Xiaoguan, even if we lose Jinyang, we will take the initiative in the whole strategy. At least Lv Bu will be trapped in Bingzhou. There is no need to hurt Lv Bu to attack Jizhou. While talking, Ju Shu had come to a big map on the side and pointed out the place where Xiao Guan was.
"What you mean is that Lv Bu will take the opportunity to send troops to attack Jizhou." Although what Ju Shu said was a mess, Yuan Shao still said decisively, "If we use a large number of troops in Xiaoguan and lose Jinyang, won't it make the world feel that I can't beat Lv Bu, which will have a great negative impact on the military spirit." It turned out that although Yuan Shao felt that Xiao Guan was very important, just like Ju Shu, he didn't want to let Jinyang go like this. Since Yuan Shao sent troops, he has not taken any advantage of Lv Bu's war. Instead, he has repeatedly failed, which makes Yuan Shao very unwilling and urgently needs a victory to calm his mood.
"Why don't we divide our army into two ways, attack Xiaoguan one way, and stay in Jinyang on the other side, so as to delay Lv Bu's army. What do you think?" Seeing Yuan Shao's intention, Gao Gan beside him came out, bowed to Yuan Shao and said after bowing.
"No, the strength of our army will not have the upper hand in the battle. After several wars, we will lose soldiers and soldiers. If we see the division of troops again, we are afraid that we will be defeated. Gao Gan, did you come up with such a bad idea that you wanted the defeat of the lord's army? After listening to Gao Gan's words, Yuan Shao smiled and was about to nod and agree, but he was resolutely opposed by Ju Shu. Ju Shu stepped forward and pointed back to Gao Gan and criticized him. Gao Gan stayed at Jiguan and guarded the door of Bingzhou, but was seized by Lv Bu, which is enough to show Gao Gan's incompetence. However, he is such an incompetent person who has to dictate and be smart on the big strategic issues related to the survival of Yuan Shao's army. This is really unbearable. Yuan Shao is still in this time. Weak, there is nothing to rely on and squander. What's more, Xiao Guan's terrain is dangerous, and Lv Bu is not easy to get in with. Even if Yuan Shao's army comes out, Ju Shu is not sure that he can capture Xiao Guan, not to mention the division of troops, which makes Ju Shu's fire suddenly attack.
"Well, Jinyang is also the result of our military's painstaking efforts. Can't it be given to Lv Bu for nothing?" Seeing that Ju Shu did not give himself any face, Gao Gan also suddenly became angry. He was Yuan Shao's nephew. He followed Yuan Shao for many years. He did not attack and worked hard. How could he be criticized like this?
"Well, don't fight. What Gao Gan said is exactly what I want to say. The terrain of Xiaoguan is dangerous, which is the key point between Jizhou and Bingzhou, and it must be taken back. Jinyang is the place where Lv Bu and I fought. Naturally, I can't give up. I want to have a good war with Lv Bu to let the world know my strength. Jinyang City is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. I don't believe that Lv Bu has great ability to break through Jinyang. Yuan Shao waved his hand to interrupt the quarrel between the two, and then stood up and said. Xiao Guan is important, but Yuan Shao doesn't want to see Lv Bu's Dao Jinyang.
"Oh, the road ahead is worrying." Hearing Yuan Shao's decision, Ju Shu couldn't help lowering his head with a sigh. In Ju Shu's view, Jinyang is not as important as Yuan Shao imagined. Lv Bu lost most of Bingzhou and was not in a hurry to take it back. Yuan Shao was just a small Jinyang city, but he was reluctant to give up. The comparison between the two is simply a world of different. This Ju Shu became more worried about the future of Yuan Shaojun.
A few days later, when Zhang He and Gao Lan led their troops to leave Xiaoguan and set foot on the land of Jizhou again, they made a long sigh in the prison of Yecheng. The person who made this sigh was not someone else but a counselor under Yuan Shao's account. Later, Tian Feng was put into prison.
"Why did you sigh?" Hearing Tian Feng's long sigh, an old jailer came out from the side, holding a pot of wine in one hand and a food box in the other. Obviously, he came to deliver food for Tian Feng. Tian Feng was locked in prison, but he did not suffer much, because everyone knew that Tian Feng was a counselor under Yuan Shao. Although the status of respect is in trouble for a while, he may rise to prosper at some point. Therefore, although Tian Feng is in prison, he has not suffered much. Some people often tell Tian Feng some information they have inquired about, and the old jailer in front of him is one of the most familiar people He Tian Feng. At this time, he heard Tian Feng He sighed and asked.
"The general mobilized his troops and horses to fight against Bingzhou and Lv Bu this time. I'm afraid he was hit by Lv Bu's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. If I'm not wrong, Lv Bu will secretly send troops to attack Jizhou. I'm afraid that Jizhou will change its owner at that time." Tian Feng did not hide at all and said his thoughts directly. At this time, Tian Feng was no longer willing to listen to him, and he could only listen to the jailer.
"If so, isn't Yecheng dangerous? Why don't you go to Prime Minister Shu to relieve the danger of Jizhou, and also seek new opportunities for yourself." Hearing Tian Feng's words, the old jailer was shocked, but he immediately thought that it was an opportunity.
"It's useless. The general won't listen to me. What's more, I'm afraid it's too late to write at this time. Lv Bu is good at using troops. I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses attacking Jizhou are on the way now, so we can only let our fate." Hearing the old jailer's words, Tian Feng shook his head and then sighed, falling into meditation.
