Chapter 371 Yuan Shao Spitting Blood
On a hill ten miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, there were a lot of people, and countless torches lit up the lights around the hill.
At the foot of the hill, several generals and advisers gathered, Zhang Ao, Gao Lan, Xu You and others were all on the list. At this time, everyone was looking at each other in surprise.
All the people who came here rushed here after the Wuchao Camp was burned and received a letter from Ju Shu. Most of these people have had some contact with Xu Shu for a long time. Except for some people who have no warning before, others are well aware of it.
Therefore, when they saw others rushing here, they were not surprised. Instead, they sighed at Xu Shu's means that they could attract so many talents for Jingzhou in advance.
Zhang Qiang, Gao Lan and Xu You are all one of the best generals and counselors under Yuan Shao's command. They have a high prestige in Jizhou, especially the prestige of Zhang and Gao Lan in the army, and can even compete with the dead Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
The status of the two of them under Yuan Shao's command is unparalleled. Such a person can be secretly contacted by Xu Shu in advance, so it is not surprising that others come here.
It is strange that Xu Shu can catch people who do this in such a short time with his own strength. There are several generals and advisers of all the prestige, and there are many other generals, and it seems that there are still people who have not arrived yet.
Everyone looked at each other with different thoughts, but did not talk to each other, and the scene suddenly fell into a strange calm.
Dab Da Da............
The footsteps sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers and guards Ju Shu came over, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ju Shu. There was no surprise about this.
On the way, Ju Shu thought of the doubts. No matter how dangerous the situation is, Gao Lan will not let people take Zhu Jian back to the camp. In that case, once it is found by Guo Tu and others, it can be regarded as a serious crime.
How could he make such a mistake? In an instant, Ju Shu figured out the key. He even knew that Xu Shu was planning secretly from beginning to end. Although he was a little angry with Xu Shu's own decision, Ju Shu did not have much rejection. After this war, he had lost it in Jizhou. With Yuan Shao's trust in him, it doesn't make any sense to stay in Jizhou, and it may lead to the disaster of death.
Xu Shu once told him that as long as they were willing to go to Jingzhou, their family would definitely go to Jingzhou to meet them within three months. Although he was a little surprised by Xu Shu's methods, Ju Shu did not doubt it.
As soon as I approached Xiaoshan Jushu, I found the situation here. Tens of thousands of people gathered under the hill. Even if they didn't have to deliberately check it, they could see it clearly.
I was a little surprised why there were so many people here. It was not until recently that I found that it was not only the soldiers and horses under Gaolan's command, but also the soldiers and horses of other generals.
Seeing Ju Shu, everyone came forward to greet him one after another.
"Lord of the Supervisor."
"Ha ha, thank you for your trust." With that, Ju Shu bowed deeply to the crowd. Seeing that everyone reacted like this, he was obviously waiting for him.
"You're welcome, Lord Jianjun." Everyone bowed their hands.
"Now that the matter of Jizhou has become a foregone conclusion, and the defeat of Ming Gong has been decided. Although we have the intention to work for Ming Gong, Ming Gong may not believe me. I think the situation here will soon reach Ming Gong's ears, and we have no way back now." Ju Shu said solemnly. Although these people have come here, not everyone is determined to go to Jingzhou. Some people are still watching.
Sure enough, after Ju Shu finished speaking, several of them changed their faces and their eyes flashed. After a while, he looked at Ju Shu as if he had made up his mind.
"The defeat in this battle is not our sin. Everyone's heart is like a mirror in this matter, and I won't say more. Nowadays, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here, if they all rush to Jingzhou, it is a bit of a dream, so one person needs to stay and lead these soldiers and horses to lurk down for the future.
He said that he didn't know where to rush out nearly a hundred soldiers, and talked with the soldiers around Ju Shu to prevent the news from being leaked.
After Ju Shu finished speaking, everyone's eyes flashed slightly, bowed their heads and said no words. Only Gao Lan, Zhang and Xu You looked thoughtful.
"You go and send back the soldiers you don't want to leave behind. I have my own plan for this matter." Ju Shu smiled and said.
More than a dozen generals and advisers scattered around and gathered their soldiers under their command to explain their situation at this time that more than half of the soldiers left in just a quarter of an hour, leaving only 15,000 soldiers and horses left.
"I'll leave here first." When the generals gathered again, Ju Shu said.
Everyone's faces changed, and then they nodded and cleaned up and left with Ju Shu. Whether it is the soldiers who dispersed as a result, or the scouts sent by Yuan Shao, their positions may be exposed at any time. Yuan Shao, who is furious, is likely to leave Cao Cao alone and directly lead the army to annihilate them.
"Sir, the last general is willing to stay." In a dense forest, Gao Lan said to Ju Shu.
"Oh? Why did you stay?" Ju Shu looked at Gao Lan with a smile on his face.
"The last time the last general went to Jingzhou with his husband, he once said that there was a shortage of advisers for generals in Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others were among the best counselors who could make suggestions for Liu Qi. Although Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others were young, they could all serve as generals of an army. That's what Mr. said is that what Jingzhou lacks is the background, countless talents, and experienced middle-level officials. Whether they are counselors or generals, they can help Jingzhou guard and govern the place, so that Jingzhou can develop as soon as possible.
The last general's talent and martial arts can't be better than Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, and no one can only lead the army in Jingzhou. Therefore, even if you go to Jingzhou, you can only compete with Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others. It's better to stay here to command these soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. Even if there is no merit, you only need to stick to Jingzhou. It's a great achievement for the arrival of the army.
A high view of the arched hand.
"Ha ha, you are cunning."
Ju Shu laughed and scolded. In fact, there are many opportunities to go to Jingzhou Gong, but there are also many generals. Not to mention Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other rising stars, even the original generals of Jingzhou Wen Ben and Wang Wei are not comparable to them.
Although Jingzhou is now in the time of expansion, not everyone can lead the army. There is often only one general in the army. Only top generals like Zhang Ya have their own set of methods of leading troops. If they all come together, they can use it. Although it is alone here, it is much more free.
"Sir agreed to say so." A look at the surprise.
"Well, don't worry, lead the rest of the soldiers and horses. If there is any news, someone will contact you." Ju Shu's heart moved, how could Xu Shu not develop his power here for so long in Jizhou?
Half an hour later, Ju Shu led more than a dozen generals and counselors and hundreds of elite soldiers to leave, while Gao Lan led the remaining soldiers and horses to the other direction, where Xu Shu had chosen a place to live for Gao Lan, but Gao Lan had to remove the spies in the army along the way.
...........................................................................
In the big tent, Yuan Shao kept paced back and forth, wiping the sweat on his forehead from time to time, and his eyes outside the tent were full of anxiety.
Wuchao was really burned. After learning the news, Yuan Shao didn't believe it first. After confirming, his hands and feet almost fainted.
pedal pedal............
The rapid footsteps sounded, and Guo Tu and several people came together.
Yuan Shao first took a few steps forward, and then felt a little lost his identity. He stopped and hurriedly asked, "Have you captured Cao's camp?"
At this time, Yuan Shao still had a trace of luck in his heart. If he could capture Cao's camp at this time and annihilate all the soldiers and horses under Cao Cao's command, even if the black nest was burned, it would not be a big deal.
Guo Tu and the three of them were stunned. It had been an hour before the black nest was burned. At this time, Yuan Shao was still asking whether to capture Cao's camp. Didn't the scouts in the army find any news, and the army's heart was really scattered to such a situation?
After a period of silence, Guo Tu came forward and arched his hand and said, "Lord, there are not many soldiers and horses in Cao's camp. If the army attacks with all its strength, it can capture Cao's camp in an instant. However, Gao Lan, the two generals of Zhang and Zhang's orders not to attack with all their strength and try to delay the time, saying that it is to drag Cao's soldiers down, and we have to defeat Cao several times. The camp was captured, but they were all stopped by two generals, and then Cao Cao was given a good opportunity.
"So you didn't capture Cao Ying?" Yuan Shao said with a disappointed face. He didn't listen to Guo Tu at all, but vaguely heard that it seemed that it was because of the deliberate obstruction of Zhang Ao and Gao Lan, he did not capture Cao's camp. First, there was a burst of disappointment, and then there was panic. The sweat on his forehead was no longer wiped. He stumbled back to his seat and was depressed.
Seeing Yuan Shao like this, all three of them shook their heads helplessly. All three of them knew how much this matter hit Yuan Shao. He rose up confidently to attack Cao Cao, but Cao Cao burned his food and fodder. You can imagine how the princes of the world would mock him after the defeat.
"Lord, let's discuss the withdrawal as soon as possible at this time, otherwise we will never have a chance to get up again when Cao Cao's army joins." Every discipline is on the way forward.
"Yes, yes, yes, I haven't been defeated yet. I just need to withdraw troops and collect grain and grass to defeat Cao Cao." Yuan Shao suddenly stood up and said.
"You can call the generals for discussion." Yuan Shao looked at the three people and said.
"No." Although he was a little reluctant, Guo Tu and the other two still bowed.
In just a quarter of an hour, all the counselors and generals in the camp gathered in Yuan Shao's tent. Looking at the less than half of the generals and counselors, Yuan Shao frowned.
"My lord, the scout found the traces of General Gao Lan, General Zhang Kuang, and several other generals in the south." A scout walked in quickly.
"Master, the big thing is not good. Gao Lan, Zhang Ju, Ju Shu and others have decided to go south to Jingzhou, and now they are gathering ten miles in the south." A young general in armor rushed in in a panic.
"Puff!"
Everyone looked at the two young generals in shock. At this time, Yuan Shao spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.
