Chapter 499 ???? Hesitation
"The cunning rabbit seems to be good."
Xu You thought to himself.
In history, these counselors of Yuan Shao, including Tian Feng and Ju Su. Although the others fought against each other, they were all loyal ministers.
For example, Tian Feng was killed for his loyal advice.
Ju Su was dismissed from his official position because of his advice. In the end, Ju Su was captured in the Battle of Guandu. Cao Cao treated Ju Su well. However, Ju Su planned to go back to Hebei, but later he was killed after he was defeated.
When Yuan Shang escaped, Shen Pei defended Yecheng for several months and was killed by Cao Cao.
Feng Ji was killed by Yuan Tan.
Guo Tu was killed by Cao Cao.
These people are all counselors who are at the right time, but they all have problems, but they are all loyal. Only Xu You betrayed Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.
Xu You is not loyal to anyone, but only to himself.
When he was young, he did not make any mistakes in order to make a name for himself. He wanted to abolish Emperor Ling of Han and fled. The older he was, the more greedy he was. He could take risks for his property.
If you score four points today, who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the first to compete for the championship? No one knows.
Xu You is currently optimistic about Yuan Shao, but it seems that Zhang Xiu has a chance too?
Xu You gently patted the box in his arms and said again: "The cunning rabbit has three holes."
This time, Xu You was determined. He stood up and hid the box, hid it in the big box, then tidied up his clothes, went to the central army's tent, and met Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was wearing gorgeous clothes and majestic crowns, kneeling on his handsome throne to read books. After Xu You entered the tent, he put the book down.
"Lord." Xu You saluted respectfully.
"It's Ziyuan. Is there anything wrong?" Yuan Shao said with a good look.
Xu You knew that Yuan Shao was not in a good mood recently. He had already ordered the entire army to withdraw his troops, but because of Zhang He's actions, the overall plan was disrupted.
In a certain way, this matter can not only be connected with the Liang Dynasty, but also conform to Yuan Shao's mood.
"Lord, I will think about it again and again. Zhang Xiu is really fierce and can use tricks. In Hedong and Henei counties, we have no foundation. Moreover, it is quite complicated to transport grain from far away from Jizhou. Once hundreds of thousands of troops are overturned, it will be too late to regret it. If we set up defenses in Jizhou, we can connect with the Wuhuan people in Youzhou and can go south to reinforce at any time. Bingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We take defense as an offense, which is both safe and convenient."
Xu You took a deep breath, thought about the words in his heart, and bowed to salute.
Yuan Shao then sighed and said, "I think so too, just Zhang He, Guo Tu and Wen Chou insisted on a decisive battle, and Cao Cao had already sent troops, so the arrow was on the string and had to be fired."
"Lord, the great thing in the world lies with you, not with Cao Cao, nor with Zhang He, Guo Tu, and Wen Chou's hands." Xu You stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist, and said.
Yuan Shao was very comfortable when he said this, but he was still hesitant and moved his whole body. He had withdrawn before, but now he is on the verge of a decisive battle, and it seems not good to withdraw troops temporarily.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps rang out. Yuan Shao and Xu You looked outside the tent and saw Shen Pei, Feng Ji and the others walked in.
These two are Yuan Shang's party, Guo Tu is Yuan Tan's party, and Xu You is his own party. Xu You and they can't pee in the same pot, so they don't say a word.
Of course, Yuan Shao was also very insightful about his counselors. He smiled and raised his hand to Xu You, who bowed to Yuan Shao and turned around and left.
The three of them intersected but didn't say anything.
Shen Pei, Feng Ji and the others saw Xu You walking away, then went forward and bowed: "Lord."
"Two gentlemen." Yuan Shao said politely.
"Lord, I came here to ask the lord to withdraw the troops." Shen Pei bowed and said sincerely.
"Why?" Yuan Shao was a little surprised. Why did Xu You and these two people go together?
Of course, Shen Pei would not say that he was afraid that Guo Tu would make achievements, and that he and his family would be implicated. He immediately said: "Zhang Xiu is brave and good at fighting, while most of the two counties in Hedong and Henoi are plains and have no danger to defend. If Zhang Xiu strives to overthrow our hundreds of thousands of troops here, then he will lose all his money. Retreat to Jizhou and Bingzhou can last. Zhang Xiu can't do anything to us."
"That's right. Lord Guo Tu is greedy for merit and aggressive, Wen Chou is brave but not scheming, and Zhang He is just a man. They hold the lord's army of hundreds of thousands and fight for their own selfish desires. If they are defeated, they will run away. They will be able to surrender to Zhang Xiu in a few years. If the lord..."
Feng Ji didn't say the following words, but the meaning was already very obvious. If you, Yuan Shao, were defeated, could Zhang Xiu tolerate you?
Yuan Shao is generous on the outside and taboo on the inside, which is the most unpredictable.
He had long wanted to withdraw his troops. He just moved his whole body and was led by Zhang He and Cao Cao and others, and he was unhappy in his heart.
Xu You advised him first.
While Shen Pei and Feng Ji were advised, they also stabbed Guo Tu, Wen Chou and Zhang He with a knife, portraying these three people as villains who fought for their own selfish desires.
Yuan Shao's fear in his heart rose like cooking oil in flames.
However, Yuan Shao still hesitated, and his resourceful and undecisive personality once again gained the upper hand. After a long time, he sighed and said, "You go down first and let me think about it."
"This." Shen Pei, Feng Ji looked at each other and wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shao waved his hand, and the two of them had no choice but to retreat.
"Retire the protection of Jizhou and Bingzhou can be completely protected. And the decisive battle with Zhang Xiu here is too risky. But it will be a big move. If I order the retreat, what will Cao Cao think of me?" Yuan Shao was embarrassed, stood up and paced back and forth, his forehead hurt.
He scolded Zhang He half-death in his heart. Why did you send troops to attack the Liang army's crossing the river without receiving my order?
Wait for my orders obediently, isn’t it good to withdraw?
Why.
.........
On a plain near Hanoi County.
Zhang Lian led the team and was confronting a group of Yuan Jun spies.
There are 50,000 or 600,000 troops and 500,000 Cao Cao's two counties in Hedong and Henei. The closer they are to the two counties, the more spies they have, and the more Yuan Shao's people are.
"Who are you?"
There were eleven spies from Yuan Jun, and they happened to be a team. Shi Chang, the leader, looked at Zhang Lian and others, and showed suspicion in his eyes.
Although Zhang Lian has many people, these spies are not afraid.
In the army, the most elite soldiers are the soldiers, and everyone is a good fighter.
"We are from Handan, and here is our wife. We escort our wife to Guandu Ferry and head south to Yuzhou to visit relatives."
Zhang Lian said calmly.
They are even less afraid. The spy of Yuan army is the elite, the guards of the three armies, and that is the trump card among the elite.
There are fewer doubts about Shi Chang. Hebei and Central Plains are currently close partners, and they are very friendly to each other. They have many travelers when they come and go, and not far from the south is indeed Guandu.
"Help!!!"
