Economic law: The greater the capital, the more you earn and the smaller your losses.

As the saying goes: When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength.

Great man's point of view: Strategically despise the enemy, tactically pay attention to the enemy.

Facing two powerful enemies, Xu You's strategy is to slow down the morale of his troops, lure them into deep penetration, and annihilate the enemy's effective forces in motion.

It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt the enemy's ten fingers.

Therefore, after a lot of tossing and showing weakness, Xu You was trying to create a time difference.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao pursued with great strides and was entangled by Sun Xia, Guan Yu's two thousand cavalry, Lu Bu's one thousand cavalry, and Zhang Liao's one thousand cavalry surrounded Yuan Shao's cavalry on three sides.

At the same time, all Yongzhou troops marched back in a hurry, launching a deterrent posture against the main follow-up force of the Northern Army.

On the other hand, the Northern Army has won many battles in the past two years, and a mentality of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy has developed from top to bottom. The five lieutenants are all so arrogant, and the arrogant generals are hard to deny, even Zhu Jun has no idea.

Therefore, it is not accidental that Yuan Shao fell into the trap.

After Guan Luzhang surrounded Yuan Shao's tribe, he immediately launched an attack. After all, the military order was to capture the Northern Army's Yueqi camp before evening.

Yuan Shao's tribe, with less than a thousand men, had not yet figured out how to deal with Sun Xia's "tortoise shell" when they were attacked by four thousand fine cavalry.

This group of local bastards didn't even say hello. Under the leadership of three fierce generals, they ran rampant, like sharp knives, cutting the Yueqi camp into pieces in the blink of an eye.

From hunters to prey, the Northern Army soldiers had no psychological preparation at all, and they did not even have a decent defense.

Facing an opponent with absolute superiority, the failure of the Yueqi Battalion is inevitable.

Yuan Shao is indeed arrogant, but not stupid.

The arrival of a large number of cavalry from the other side and panicked scouts from our own side proved to be a premeditated ambush.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best!

Leaving the soldiers fighting on their own, Captain Yuan, the most promising officer of the Yuan family, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet under the protection of his personal guards.

Zhu Jun was trembling all over after receiving the battle report.

Yuan Shao's 700 cavalry plus Luoyang's 500 cavalry accounted for almost 70% of the entire army's light cavalry. They were finished in less than an hour...

Zhu Jun ordered the entire army to defend on the spot, but he forgot that in order to meet Yuan Shao, the extremely slow logistics equipment was dropped five miles away.

After receiving the notice from the scouts, Guan Yu and Lu Bu's two troops of 3,000 horsemen rode non-stop for twenty miles and defeated the isolated and helpless rear camp of the Northern Army in the dark.

Zhu Jun was extremely anxious, but the Yongzhou Army's 6,000 tigers and wolves were like poisonous snakes, and he really did not dare to send troops at night to assist the rear army.

Without the Yue cavalry and rear troops, Zhu Jun's troops fell below ten thousand, and there was also a shortage of food and supplies.

In desperation, General Chaiqi sent a warning to Dong Zhuo's troops and asked the court for urgent help.

When receiving Zhu Jun's warning, Dong Zhuozheng vigorously urged his subordinates to speed up the march, intending to follow the Northern Army to beat up Yongzhou's drowned dogs and let out a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, the Northern Army lost its troops and generals, and was surrounded by Yongzhou natives. The situation was reversed. Isn’t it just a dream?

The counselors and generals under the tent immediately exploded.

A counselor suggested: "If you don't know the enemy's situation, don't advance rashly."

A military general shouted: "If we are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can we win?"

All kinds of discussions are chattering endlessly, and it seems that a lot has been said, but it has no effect at all.

Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Cavalry Colonel Niu Fu, said: "The cavalry general acted prudently, and there must be some reason for sending the military alarm. However, in the short term, the Northern Army should be able to hold it, and the general will think it is better to advance slowly."

Dong Zhuo nodded slightly. The defeat of the Northern Army was all due to greed for merit and reckless advancement, which made it difficult to take care of the beginning and the end. It would be in his best interest to slow down and take another look.

Suddenly a guard announced that Yongzhou military advisor Xu You was visiting.

Oh my gosh, you're not using us Liangzhou horse thieves as a dish at all, are you?

The crowd was in an uproar, shouting and shouting to kill!

"If you don't kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting, let him come in!"

Dong Zhuo displayed the demeanor of a famous general, standing high behind the commander-in-chief, with civil and military personnel on both sides.

Xu Dajun, a sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked military advisor, came with a smile on his face.

"Hello Dongzhou Mu'an! Hello everyone! Xu is being polite!"

Dong Zhuo ignored him.

Good? What a fart!

Why did you swallow my Hedong, and you act like a normal person, and you still have the nerve to say hello?

Niu Fu said "Hey", his thoughts were similar to those of his father-in-law, but he had to answer the conversation no matter what.

"If I occupy Shangjun, I wonder how Military Master Xu will be in a good mood?"

Xu You naturally heard the sarcasm, smiled slightly, and turned to Niu Fu.

"Niu Xiaowei just goes and takes it, I will definitely applaud you for your courage!"

Niu Fu almost choked to death. In anger, he pulled out the long knife with a "Whoosh!"

Xu You is a lunatic who is keen on subverting the regime, so he doesn't care about this little trick.

He did not retreat but advanced, took a step forward, stared at Niu Fu and asked: "You think you are invincible with a broken knife? If you have the ability, just fight. If you don't, don't beep!"

Faced with the ruthless man who was extremely arrogant, Niu Fu couldn't stop talking and couldn't cut him off. The situation was once awkward.

However, Fatty Dong respects talents, and with the support of the general, he holds the title of the top leader in Liangzhou, and there is no shortage of talents under his command.

A middle-aged counselor came out of the queue and said loudly: "If Yongzhou Mu is invincible in the world, then there must be no need for Military Advisor Xu to come, right?"

The scene immediately changed greatly.

Yes, if you are so awesome, why send you to die?

Dong Zhuo saved face, and Niu Fu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The person who can stand head-to-head with Xu You is Niu Fu’s adviser, Jia Xu of Guzang, Liangzhou.

Xu You turned to look at Jia Xu with admiring eyes.

"I haven't asked for advice yet..."

"I'm Jia Xu."

The fact that unknown people can have such an opportunity should not be underestimated.

"My lord has great ambitions and respects his virtuous officers. He will win every battle and win with every attack. I would like to ask who in the world is my opponent?"

Jia Xu was calm and unhurried: "There is the emperor of Han above, there are loyal ministers and good generals below, and all the people are united, who dares to disobey?"

Xu You laughed, looked around at the heroes in Liangzhou, and sighed quietly: "The eunuchs are monopolizing power, and relatives are interfering in politics. The whole dynasty is full of flies and dogs, and the people have no place to stand... Therefore, the Qing emperor punished the traitors and sycophants, which is the true character of a hero!"

It was like thunder from the nine heavens exploding in the ears, and everyone in the tent was dumbfounded.

Damn it, you lunatic, how dare you say that!

Dong Zhuo was frightened. If he continued to incite this guy, the morale of the army would be in chaos and the team would be unable to lead.

"Ahem, Yongzhou Mu sent you here, where did you come from?"

Xu You glanced at Jia Xu, then turned to Dong Zhuo and saluted him.

"This time, my lord has some troubles and wants to argue with Grand Tutor Yuan, General He. Dong Zhoumu and you all are sensible. If we are determined to get involved, I'm afraid it will damage our harmony."

Niu Fu couldn't help it anymore.

"Harmony? What do you say about the incident in Hedong?"

Xu You chuckled and said to Dong Zhuo: "The state pastor invites the emperor to hunt in autumn. It is purely a transit of Hedong. Autumn has not done anything wrong and will not take it as his own."

"Seriously?"

Xu You felt funny in his heart. It seemed that the delaying strategy was still effective.

"You can check it out. Our army has never occupied a city or town in the east of Hedong. It has never appointed an official or a single official, and it has not taken a needle or a thread."

The Yongzhou army marched quickly, how could they have time to attack the city?

Now, the faces of the horse thieves in Liangzhou look much better.

Dong Zhuo also made plans.

As long as your own interests are not harmed, such a great and honorable thing as blocking a gun for the court should be left to the true loyal ministers.

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo said: "That being said, Dong was deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit and received a salary from the imperial court, so he had to act in accordance with the decree."

"What Zhou Mu said is that the same is true for my lord. However, Xu believes that when the two armies are facing each other, it is better to be cautious. Once they advance rashly, it is tantamount to committing a military taboo, and the army will be overthrown and the general will be killed in a matter of seconds!

Dong Zhoumu, do you think this is true?"

Everyone was silent except for Jia Xu, whose eyes flashed and he restrained himself from refuting.

The messenger sent Xu Youhaosheng out of the military camp, and Dong Zhuo secretly discussed with his cronies.

This time, Jia Xu stood out and became Dong Zhuo's adviser.

When the court received Zhu Jun's request for help, there was another uproar.

In one day, the Northern Army lost 5,000 men and horses. How the hell could they fight like this?

A smart man jumped out and claimed that there was also the unparalleled loyalty and bravery of Liangzhou Prefecture Mu, and that an army of 30,000 was enough to break the siege of the Northern Army.

However, Huangmen, who passed the imperial edict, accepted the benefits and reported to the emperor Liu Hong: The Liangzhou army was harassed by Yongzhou cavalry and had no time to take care of itself.

At this time, the eunuchs also learned that Yuan Shu was responsible for the trouble, and began to target He Jin and Yuan Wei.

Publicly and privately, the culprits must be severely punished!

As a result, Huben Zhonglang dismissed Yuan Shu from his post and drove him out of the capital to serve as a county guard in Jiujiang.

No one cared that this prodigal made trouble and died, but Zhu Jun, who had been surrounded for three days, could hardly stand it any longer.

Because the Yongzhou Army, which was so merciful, actually released all the people from the Yueqi Camp and the Transport Camp who had been captured previously.

Of course, it is impossible to return the soldiers, armor, horses and supplies.

The Northern Army was already at the bottom of its food supply, and now it has more than 4,000 mouths...

As a general, the unlucky Zhu Jun not only wanted to cry, but also wanted to curse.
