As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, the judge on the other side spoke directly: "My lord, Gao Fei went to war without declaring it. This behavior will definitely be shamed by the people in the world. I think that all the best soldiers and generals should be sent out immediately.
Suffocate Gao Fei in Jizhou and make sure he and his tens of thousands of soldiers never come back!"
"My lord, as long as you give me 30,000 cavalry, I will definitely take Gao Fei's head and present it to your lord." Wen Chou had long wanted to fight Gao Fei. When he escorted Liu Yu to Youzhou to take office, he did so.
After getting to know Gao Fei, I still admire Gao Fei in my heart, but since he is Yuan Shao's subordinate now, he should be loyal to his master, so he immediately clasped his fists and shouted.
Yuan Shao said: "How magnificent! I have good looks but ugly writing, so what's the point of me just flying high?"
Gao Lan and Han Meng were not convinced. After hearing that Yuan Shao only mentioned the names of Yan Liang and Wen Chou without mentioning a word about them, they stood up together, clasping their fists and saying: "My lord, Jizhou is not just Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there are also us.
Two of us, the two of us are willing to lead an army to retrieve Gao Fei's head, and we hope that the Lord will do it."
Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Okay! You are the four strongest generals under my command. With you here, what's the point of measuring that little Gaofei? Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you two will lead 30,000 cavalry to Bohai to support
Gongsun Zan, Gao Lan, and Han Meng, you two will lead 20,000 cavalry to Julu County to resist Zhao Yun."
The four generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan and Han Meng replied in unison: "No!"
"My lord, wait a minute!" As soon as the Prime Minister Jushou heard that Gao Fei was leading his army south to attack Jizhou, he hurriedly ran over from the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Yuan Shao's order and shouted immediately.
"Jushou! Do you have to stop the lord from sending troops? If you hadn't stopped the lord from sending troops last year, at this time, the lord would have already stepped on the soil of Jicheng." The judge was very resentful towards Jushou, after all, Jushou was the later one.
He took refuge in Yuan Shao, and was appointed as the Prime Minister of the country as soon as he came. The official position was above him and Yuan Shao's old department, which made him feel very unbalanced.
"You can't say that. If the Prime Minister hadn't stopped your plan last year, how could Jizhou have become so prosperous in just one year?" Guo Tu glanced sideways at Shenpei and said sarcastically.
Xin Ping was a peacemaker. Seeing that Guo Tu and Shen Pei were at odds again, he was afraid that the conflict would get worse, so he hurriedly took advantage of this moment to stop it and said: "You two adults, please do not get angry. Please let the master make the final decision in all matters."
Xin Pi sneered, and when he saw Shen Pei and Guo Tu starting to fight, he shook his head and thought to himself: "Brother, it's true, these two can fight if they want. What are they doing?"
To stop them, it's best to fight to the death."
Pang Ji, who is sitting at the end, is concerned about matters that have nothing to do with him. He neither wants to get involved in the fight between Shen Pei and Guo Tu, nor does he want to be a peacemaker like Xin Ping, let alone
Like Xin Pi, he gloated about misfortune, but he always believed in "inaction". He originally liked Taoist thought, but in this era where fame and family were the mainstay, Taoist priests were not popular, and were not even as good as businessmen, so he later
He gave up his Taoist ideas and learned Confucian culture from famous teachers. After becoming famous, he was recruited by Yuan Shao and became a guest in Yuan Shao's house. In addition to having no worries about food and clothing, he could also devote himself to practicing Taoism in secret.
Therefore, unless things are usually his turn, he basically can't say a word. He is the most taciturn person in Yuan Shao's entire think tank. But he often speaks astonishingly as soon as he opens his mouth.
Yuan Shao is a generous person on the outside, but very narrow on the inside. In addition, he likes to listen to other people's advice and also likes to plan his own strategies. However, when he is really asked to make up his mind, he will waver. When he met Shen Pei, Guo
They were about to quarrel, but Jushou had different opinions, so he said loudly: "Quiet! Mr. Prime Minister, do you have any other different opinions?"
As the Prime Minister of the country, Jushou joined Yuan Shao before the time of trial, and Guo Tu and the others were earlier, but he was the strongest among Yuan Shao's advisers in handling government affairs and making suggestions, and the things he planned also attracted Yuan Shao's thoughts.
Gradually, he gained Yuan Shao's dependence. When Yuan Shao asked, he raised his hand and said, "My lord, I think it is inappropriate to send troops at this time!"
"Isn't it right? What's wrong? Gao Fei's Yan army has already reached their doorstep. Do I have to wait until Gao Fei's Yan army approaches the city before I send troops?" Yuan Shaolue said coldly with a hint of anger.
Jushu said: "Now Gao Fei's Yan army is divided into two groups, one going directly south from Fan Yang, the other going south from Tianjin. Judging from the time when the scouts reported, I'm afraid Gao Fei's two armies have already penetrated deep into Jizhou.
The hinterland. Gongsun Zan of Bohai has always been very arrogant. Although he has many soldiers and horses, compared with Gao Fei, he is probably much inferior. Moreover, Gongsun Zan is definitely not Gao Fei's opponent. According to the calculations of his subordinates, Gongsun Zan
Zan has probably been killed by Gao Fei. Zhao Yun is also a capable general in Gao Fei's army. After breaking through the defense lines of Zhongshan and Hejian, he may have reached Julu County by now. His subordinates thought that instead of dividing their troops to resist, it would be better to
Let Gao Fei's two armies be united in Julu County, and then our army will set up a heavy siege in Julu County to surround all Gao Fei's south-invading army. It only takes one battle."
"That's easy to say. Gao Fei is both wise and brave, and is good at setting up ambushes. If our army went to set up an ambush, how could we deceive him? Moreover, what strategy did our army use to lure Gao Fei into an ambush?" Shen Pei said coldly.
asked.
Ju Shou glanced at Shen Pei and did not pay attention to Shen Pei. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, although I have only met Gao Fei once, my understanding of him over the past few years is as good as anyone else's."
However, he has a fatal weakness, and his subordinates can use this weakness to lure Gao Fei into the ambush circle, surround him and annihilate him."
After Yuan Shao heard this, the anger on his face disappeared without a trace, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the fatal weakness?"
Jushou just smiled faintly, pointed at himself, and said loudly: "Gao Fei's fatal weakness is me."
"You?" The judge burst out laughing and said loudly, "You have raised yourself too high. How could you be Gao Fei's Achilles' heel?"
Ju Shou was neither angry nor angry. He just kept a normal heart and continued to say to Yuan Shao: "My lord, my subordinates have been grateful for your lord's kindness since they surrendered to me. This time Gao Fei's troops are attacking the situation, if I send troops
If they are intercepted everywhere, the people of Jizhou will be
Suffering from the disaster of war. In order to prevent the people of Jizhou from suffering from the disaster of war again, my subordinates boldly suggested to the lord that he should withdraw all the troops in Jizhou to the Juluze area. The lord can station in Boluojin, and our army can
Let’s start a decisive battle with Gao Fei’s army in Julu Ze.”
Yuan Shao frowned, thought for a moment, and asked: "Prime Minister, are you sure that the outcome will be determined by one battle?"
"As soon as Gao Fei arrives at Julu Ze, Julu Ze will be Gao Fei's burial place. It is the best place for a decisive battle and will not affect the people of Jizhou at all. As long as Gao Fei dies, the lord will send cavalry all the way north.
The entire Youzhou can be returned to the master's hands." Jushou vowed.
"My lord, since the Prime Minister has already made up his mind, I think you might as well give it a try!" Wen Chou was also someone who knew the art of war. He could also understand Ju Shou's ulterior motives and was very moved by Ju Shou's love for the people.
Wen Chou was afraid that Yuan Shao would disagree, so he winked at Yan Liang. After Yan Liang understood, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "My lord, what the Prime Minister said makes sense, and I deeply agree with you."
Yuan Shao turned to look at the counselors and asked, "What do you think?"
Guo Tu was the first to say: "The plan of the Prime Minister can be said to be far-sighted, and my subordinates also meant the same thing, but they didn't say it out loud."
"How shameless!" Shen Pei cursed secretly in his heart.
Pang Ji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "The decisive battle in Juluze is God's will. My lord must follow God's will."
When Yuan Shao saw that Pang Ji had spoken, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Shen Pei, I will leave you 20,000 elite troops to guard Yecheng, and all the rest of the troops in Jizhou will be sent to the Juluze area. Guo Tu,
You quickly go to Boluojin and prepare the camp."
"No!" everyone replied in unison.
Jushou once again raised his hand and said: "My lord, I have another request. I hope that my lord can announce an order to the outside world."
"What order?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Please make public the order to behead Jushu within a few days. My subordinates will find their own way to lure Gao Fei to the Julu Ze area."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt a little surprised and hurriedly asked: "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
"In order to make the lord become the overlord of Hebei, Ju Shou has no choice but to make this plan. I hope that the lord will succeed." Ju Shou said.
Yuan Shao said: "Prime Minister, I've really wronged you. But I'm afraid Gao Fei won't fall for such a cruel trick, right?"
Jushou chuckled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have their own way of luring Gao Fei into the ambush circle. If Gao Fei sees through it, it doesn't matter. As long as my army sticks to Julu Ze, Gao Fei's Yan army will not be able to attack."
If you take one step forward, your subordinates will have other ways to deal with Gao Fei."
Yuan Shao said happily: "I have a prime minister, so why should the world worry about uncertainty?"
After Jushou came out of the Zhaohou Mansion, he returned directly to his residence and ordered his old servant to summon his son Juhu. After giving some secret instructions, he asked: "When you go to Gao Fei's place, everything will be done as I told him."
Do what you say. There are many advisers in Gao Fei's tent, including Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Chen, and Xu You. They are all smart people. If you want to deceive them, you can only use this strategy."
Juhu nodded solemnly, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, father, the child will definitely live up to his father's trust."
Jushou stroked Juhu's head lovingly, his eyes showed great care, and comforted him: "The success or failure of this time depends on your performance."
Juhu clasped his fists again, said goodbye to Jushu, then shouldered his burden, mounted a fast horse, and galloped out of Yecheng.
