39. The lingering ghost is indeed the inherent skill of the ghost.
"Speaking of, are there any new developments in the situation in Yanzhou? Without Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the impact on Yuan Shu will be very great."
Although it seems that the most important thing during this period is the Central Plains War (Puppet War), due to various unexpected situations, until now Li Shushi is still leading his troops in Yanshi to watch the soy sauce, even more so than the allied forces of the princes to fight against Dong.
Sometimes it gets even more serious.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Shushi has relaxed his indifference to this war that determines the future trend of several princes.
In fact, he is collecting news from various princes and detailed information about the wars between them through various channels, and whenever he has leisure, he will discuss with the generals and counselors around him that they are not far away.
battlefield.
No, just as the two mice seemed to be finally forced to a dead end, Li Shushi also changed his gaze.
"Perhaps this impact will exceed my lord's expectation."
Faced with Li Shushi's inquiry, Guo Jia, who was sitting next to him, smiled like a little fox who had successfully stolen a hen. Apparently something interesting happened on the battlefield in Yanzhou that made this person laugh.
The prodigal son who didn't seem to be very good at hiding his true feelings was able to laugh so happily that the atmosphere around him became lively.
Speaking of which, as Guo Jia gradually revealed the outstanding and even genius hidden in him, Jia Xu, who had been responsible for the Bingzhou Army's internal and external intelligence affairs, was happy to throw away the sense of existence that was originally entangled with him and could not be dispelled.
Guo Jia's side,
So much so that before the little fox could react, his sense of existence had been rising to the point where he was surprised - but it was a pity that the inexperienced little fox had obviously not been able to realize that a certain
The old fox’s “good intentions”.
So, as if it was natural and helpless, Guo Jia had to move to the front desk at an abnormal speed.
By the way, in this process, a certain silly and cute lolita was also an important helper for the prodigal son to quickly gather a large number of presences. Its ability to attract hatred was so strong that even Li Shushi felt astonished.
I hope this prodigal son can laugh again in the future, and it won't cause special ending effects like a hatchet and a good ship.
All in all, Guo Jia, who was originally young, now sat in the position where the chief counselor or chief civil officer should be. And there he talked about world affairs and news and gossip, and he didn't seem to feel out of place at all.
I always feel that his behavior seems to be more likely to attract hatred.
Is this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?
As an ordinary mortal, Li Shushi said that he did not understand the world of geniuses and academic masters at all.
"Isn't it just a defeat? Anyway, with Yuan Shu's ability, isn't this kind of thing just natural?"
With a malicious smile, Li Shushi speculated maliciously.
"My Lord, he really despises Yuan Jiujiu. But judging from his performance, this evaluation is indeed not an exaggeration."
With the same sarcastic smile, Guo Jia was also rude to Yuan Shu. There was even a hint of excitement in his words.
Moreover, Guo Jia was not the only one to have this kind of emotion, other generals also showed more or less similar mood swings.
This made Li Shushi feel somewhat unreal.
The generals of the Bingzhou Army were actually excited about the victory of Yuan Shao, who they had always considered as their future enemy. If such a performance had been seen half a year ago, perhaps everyone would have thought that it was definitely a habitual joke by Li Shushi.
But nowadays, everyone seems not to notice this, and takes such emotions as a matter of course.
Perhaps we can also see from this point how much pressure Yuan Shujun's performance made everyone feel.
After all, whether it is Yuan Shao's army, Cao Cao's army, or Bingzhou army, they have often fought against them. They even have close relationships with some generals in these two armies. They have a deeper understanding of these two forces than other forces. Naturally, they also understand them very well.
The strength or potential possessed by these two companies is used as a measure of their threat to the merged state.
But these two forces were turned upside down by the troops led by two young men some time ago. Although it cannot be said to be a disastrous defeat, at least under the guidance of Yuan Shu's army, they had to use space in exchange for their own reorganization.
opportunity. Even though most of the credit must be attributed to the "playing" with Li Shushi in Yanshi City at this time.
"Hide and seek" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but it cannot be denied that it is with Yuan Shu standing behind these two young men that they can continuously consolidate their achievements on the battlefield and form an advantage against the Yuan Shao and Cao Cao coalition forces.
The oppression puts the two parties who were originally passive on the battlefield into a more unfavorable situation in the larger game.
In comparison, although the development of the situation in Qingzhou is also worth pondering, its influence is completely incomparable with the changes on the frontal battlefield.
Of course, perhaps Tao Qian had this calculation in mind when he first divided his forces into two groups - to use the weaker group to do a good job of cooperating with Yuan Shu, without showing off or revealing anything, while although the stronger group could fight
The momentum was overwhelming, but its impact on the main battlefield was limited in the short term. Even if it gained more ground, it would not cause Yuan Shu too much dissatisfaction and uneasiness.
After this battle, no matter which side of the two Yuans wins, Tao Qian's strength has also reached a higher level. And if the two Yuans fight and both lose, maybe this old fox who seems to be in his prime will choose to come out.
It’s not necessarily possible to clean up the mess.
It can be said that from Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, the people of Bingzhou smelled something that made them feel uneasy.
Perhaps it is for this reason that people in Bingzhou are so excited when they hear that Yuan Shao counterattacked Yuan Shu.
"However, both Yuzhou and Nanyang are places where talents gather. Yuan Shao was able to find outstanding generals like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan in Hebei, as well as outstanding figures like Zilong, Junyi, and Zijing. Nanyang also had Han Sheng
, Yuzhou also has Zihe and Zhongkang. Could it be that Yuan Shu couldn't produce any useful generals?"
"Actually, there are some generals who are useful. Needless to mention the more famous Ji Ling. Others include Qiao Rui, a subordinate whom Yuan Gongdao met when he was in Xiyuan, and Liu Xun, a man from Langxie.
It's still good. But if you use
Xia Houyuanrang, Yan Gongji and other rare geniuses are the standard, but it is difficult for Yuan Gongji. After all, there can be people with such vision as the Lord in the world, but I don’t know how many others there are. Even if I look at the past and present, I can’t think of them.
Count them."
"Wu has no general who can defeat ten thousand, and wisdom has no strategizing. Decisions depend on advisers thousands of miles away. If not for the variables Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, this battle should have been a battle between Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde to establish their power.
Although now these two
Trapped in Yanshi, I would like to ask you all - are Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde the troublesome ones? Or is Yuan Shu, who has these two people under his command, more worrying? Compared with the importance of this answer, you should already be very worried.
Is it clear?"
"My lord, this question is really not interesting at all. Although Yuan Jiujiu's performance is indeed somewhat beyond our expectations. But compared with this kind of thing, our own goal is what we ultimately want. What's more,
Abandoning allies under such circumstances, although neither of us may have publicly admitted it. But the impact on our reputation is really far different from what we can gain. So no matter how you look at it, there is no need to discuss it again."
Regarding Li Shushi's question, Guo Jia's answer sounded merciless.
In fact, there is no need to ask this question. After all, even if the potential of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is really enough to worry Bingzhou, in this special period, Bingzhou would still rather choose a relatively reliable ally than
No matter how you look at it, Yuan Shu feels that he has the potential to deceive his teammates.
But in fact, I don’t know whether it’s Yuan Shu’s good luck or Yuan Shu’s small universe that exploded. This guy actually used Sun Ce, a young man, and the forces united around him - not only Zhou Yu, a good friend, don’t forget
Sun Ce also inherited a large military legacy left by his father, and his performance turned the original inheritance relationship into a heartfelt support - as a pioneer, he successfully counterattacked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were at least more powerful in terms of combat effectiveness.
combination of.
The most important thing is that this time Yuan Shu did not play the role of holding back Sun Jian like he did with Sun Jian when he was fighting against Dong. Judging from the information obtained from various channels, although Yuan Shu was more or less reluctant to Sun Ce who was rising like a rocket.
Somewhat wary
However, I don’t know whether it was because of sincerity or contempt for the opponent’s youth. At most, Yuan Shu arranged some relatively easy but fruitful tasks for his direct troops this time, and left those difficult problems to Sun Ce.
.
Although this kind of behavior is not very big-hearted, it is much better than Yuan Shu's previous behavior.
Therefore, even within the Bingzhou Army, there was some kind of voice, which was to abandon Yuan Shao and join forces with Yuan Shu.
After all, the temptation to annex north of the Yellow River is quite tempting. In order to contain Sun Ce, Yuan Shu probably wouldn't mind allowing Bingzhou to gain certain benefits. Of course, Sun Ce must have a similar task on his shoulders.
It's just that this kind of behavior is definitely not a help in times of need but the icing on the cake. With Yuan Shu's magnanimity, although he has shown a certain degree of tolerance on the issue of Sun Ce, no one can be sure that the other party is the larger existence of Li Shushi and Bingzhou.
Wasn’t it the case that Bingzhou was classified as “least trustworthy” from the beginning?
That is to say, while using Bingzhou, he will never be stingy about causing some trouble for Bingzhou - even though Yuan Shao has previously proved that no one in Bingzhou is capable of resisting Bingzhou's army, but he has received funding
At least Li Shushi was not very optimistic about what choices the grassland people would make.
Not to mention it is difficult to guess what Yuan Shao will do after being betrayed.
Li Shushi clearly remembered that in the plane where he once lived, Yuan Shu, who was at the end of his rope, planned to take the jade seal as a meeting gift and take the remaining troops to Yuan Shao. In fact, under the pressure of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was finally ready to accept Yuan Shu, the former
The half-brother who can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
Will Yuan Shao make a similar decision when he is at the end of his rope?
Li Shushi felt that he would be at least 50% sure, and this was enough to make him wary.
So the answer was actually in my mind before I asked the question, and now I say it. It’s more to unify my thoughts.
At the same time, this is also a signal, a signal that means that an action has come to an end.
"I said Zhou Yu, after so many days, how are you thinking?"
"Ah, we already have some clues, but because we don't know the detailed layout of the enemy very well, we can't be very sure yet. After all, the enemy is an opponent that cannot be underestimated. Once we are careless, it will mean the failure of the entire plan."
"But I always feel that the time left for us...is very limited."
"Well. I agree with your idea. After all, our enemy has trapped us in a rather small space."
"Actually, there's one thing I haven't figured out yet."
"Is it about why our enemies know our position so detailedly and quickly?"
"Yes, it's like looking down at us from the sky, and it seems like the result of the most magical fortune telling."
"Does Sun Ce also believe in that mysterious thing?"
"Haha, how is that possible? I just think that way of pretending to be a ghost is funny."
"So to say that the other party is as powerful as it is today is indeed a real one. It is an opponent we deserve to pay attention to in the future."
"Oh? Zhou Yu, can you be sure that we can escape~"
"Because I will transform into a phoenix with spread wings. Under these wings, the enemy will burn with fire and bleed here!"
"But... how did the enemy find our location?"
"How to find it? Hum~ Now in my eyes, Sun Ce's position is as dazzling as a candlelight in the dark night. As for Zhou Yu, how can two people who are so inseparable be separated?"
This time, Li Shushi did not mobilize too many troops to encircle and suppress Sun Ce. After all, the opponent had few people, and bringing too many people would expose more loopholes for the enemy to exploit; secondly, he was concerned about Sun Ce's personal strength, just like that.
Although the overlord of Western Chu before his death could not escape, he was still invincible, and except for a few people, he took everything he asked for.
"However, I am also a little surprised that my husband has grown to such an extent in such a short period of time."
"Even an ordinary person like me occasionally achieves success through hard work."
Of course, it is unreasonable for outsiders to keep searching for the goal day and night and constantly squeezing one's mental strength for this moment. But now it seems that all the efforts are worth it, not only because of the grant.
He felt flattered by the praise, and it was also because his actions gave him another mysterious halo in front of his men.
Although to put it bluntly, it is actually not a difficult thing to understand - as Sun Ce carries an excessive amount of negative energy, although he is still a human and not a monster, he still exudes something similar to those who have been transformed by negative energy.
The energy fluctuations emitted by past monsters are different from ordinary people, but this fluctuation is much weaker than that of monsters.
Previously in Luoyang underground, Li Shushi had invested a lot of energy in sensing negative energy in order to find the "culprit behind the scenes". The work he has to do now is very similar to that before, but because of the energy fluctuations radiated from Sun Ce's body.
It's just weaker so it's harder to locate.
Of course, because Yanshi is not like Luoyang underground, the perception in the huge negative energy field will be somewhat disturbed and eroded. The negative energy fluctuations radiated from Sun Ce's body are like a drop dropped into a large vat of pure water.
It is difficult to accurately locate ink, but it is always too difficult to just perceive a general direction.
As they became familiar with the fluctuations, the positioning effect naturally became better and better. At the same time, as the cooperation between the Yanshi local security force and the special response force sent by Li Shushi became more and more proficient, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu naturally felt more
A lot of pressure.
It can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, these two people can be said to be in the urn now, waiting for Li Shushi to come and harvest.
If nothing else happens.
"What? You said Sun Ce and Zhou Yu ran away?!"
Zhang Te, who was beside Li Shushi and was given full command of the operation, could not suppress his emotions of shock and anger. After all, whoever found that the duck that was about to be cooked would flutter away at the last moment would be the same.
attitude.
As for Li Shushi, who was beside him, surprisingly he just smiled bitterly at such a result, and did not accuse any of his subordinates for not working hard enough on this matter, as if he had already known that such a result would happen.
Is this just possible?
It was obvious that he had ambitious plans to catch two people and give one to Sister Xuanwu to play with as a queen, while the other was kept for himself... Of course it was not to stir up trouble, even if Zhou Yu was a big man no matter how red-lipped and white-toothed he was, Li Shushi would never do that.
Falling into that irreversible hell, I just wanted to get some information I wanted from him.
It's a pity that such outstanding talents are destined to have no chance to obtain. After all, good gay friends have been sent to the test bed. How can we see that Zhou Yu, a person who is loyal to gay friends, and Li Shushi have only sworn hatred.
It's a pity that nearly half a month of busy work was in vain in an instant, and all the efforts and costs were in vain. I'm afraid everyone will feel regret and unwillingness.
The same is true for Li Shushi, an ordinary person.
But unlike the subordinates around him who had just received the news, he had actually foreseen such an outcome half an hour ago. With this period of adjustment, when the news actually arrived, he would
Naturally, the impact he received was not as obvious and huge as that of others.
That's why I can bury the disappointment from the bottom of my heart back to the depths of my heart, leaving that elegant calmness on the surface.
Is this considered a kind of growth?
Even if you lose, you can still console yourself by saying, "I gained the so-called grace of a famous general."
How is that possible!
The feeling of watching the enemy jump out of the encirclement right before your eyes and then leave... It's really terrible!
Such a feeling would always remind him of his time as the failed governor of Hedong, and even earlier, the embarrassment and even humiliation he encountered when he visited the Sima family in Hanoi.
No one likes feeling like this.
But now that the fact has happened, it is obviously not a good way to dwell on this bad feeling and make yourself depressed. To deal with it actively, you must at least understand where you lost so that you can do better next time.
He will not make the same mistake - although if he can really do it perfectly, he will be called a saint, but within his ability, Li Shushi is still working hard in that direction.
"Do you know who disrupted our plan?"
Her voice was calm, neither angry nor regretful, as if she was telling a very common thing. Li Shushi's response surprised everyone present, whether they were familiar with her or not familiar with him.
However, it was precisely because of his calmness as a superior officer that his subordinates, from Zhang Te to ordinary soldiers, began to recover from their original depression. At the same time, they remembered their emergency responsibilities and allowed the "machine" that had been paused to operate at high speed again.
.
"Back to my lord, according to the people on the scene, it seems that a group of monsters with light bodies and extremely fast speeds, but seemingly no sense of reality, attracted their attention, giving the target an opportunity to take advantage of..."
Haha, should I say it really is them?
Thinking of the impact that had appeared in his mind at that moment, Li Shushi suddenly felt that things seemed to have become interesting.
Should this be regarded as a "love-hate relationship" between "her" and herself?
