Dong Zhao is self-aware and his actions are clean. In addition, Yuan Shao does not know that he has some contacts with Chen Xi, otherwise he would never be allowed to participate in such a life-and-death meeting.
The information Xu You and Jushu knew was that Dong Zhao and Cao Cao had some unexplainable relationship, but the two parties were allies after all, so they did not investigate too closely, and Dong Zhao did not cross the line.
As for why Jushou and Xu You warned Dong Zhao so specifically this time, it was just because of the situation and they didn't want any accidents to happen. Dong Zhao thought that Jushou and Xu You had a certain understanding of what they were doing, so he was worried.
I am also somewhat glad that my previous actions did not seriously threaten Yuan Shao.
Under such a misunderstanding, Dong Zhao sent Chen Xi a secret letter that Yuan Shao was running out of food and grass after Jushou's grand strategy was launched, which was able to clear away Jushou and Xu You's suspicions about him. Of course, this letter also made Dong Zhao
I will regret it for the rest of my life. Spies can really be killed if you smash them.
Under such circumstances, Ju Shuo and Tian Feng secretly transferred grain and grass from Julu to Wei County, spending a lot of time and energy to transport it to Dongwuyang, and then ordered Yuan Shao's soldiers to dig mountains and pile them up, as if they were to be permanently consolidated.
The defensive posture is actually to hide the extra food and grass.
After going back and forth like this several times, without Liu Beijun's knowledge, Yuan Shaojun successfully stored enough food and grass in the right camp of Yuan Shaojun's right camp for ten days. After that, Tian Feng stopped the reserve.
All the soldiers involved in this matter were all sent back to the rear in the name of troop mobilization. Except for a few people in the entire camp, no one knew that Yuan Shao's army had a large amount of grain and grass buried under the easternmost camp.
In this way, Yuan Shaojun had the capital to take advantage of the plan, and Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others began to perfect this grand strategy.
Under such circumstances, Li You, who was at the rear, received a secret letter from Jushu. There was nothing in it about Yuan Shao. There were only two items. One was to determine whether Fazheng was in Mount Tai, and the other asked Li You to find a way to delay Yuan Shao.
The speed at which Xun Yue distributes food.
After Li You read the secret letter, he burned it calmly. Generally speaking, the two contents were that the other party had received inside information about Liu Bei's army attacking Yecheng.
After thinking for a while, Li You decisively wrote down detailed information about Fazheng and Zhang Fei's attack on Yecheng, but it was of no use at all. By the time the letter arrived, I was afraid that the food roads in Yecheng would have been cut off.
To be precise, I'm afraid that by the time Li You sent this letter, Yuan Shaojun had already received his own intelligence. As for the deployment of Fazheng and Zhang Fei's troops, there were nine truths and one lie, which was enough to trick people into losing their lives.
As for slowing down Xun Yue's food distribution, this is even more arbitrary. The publicity is that Xun Yue is in charge of Mount Tai, but in fact Li You is the real leader.
Xun Yue decisively stated that he was going to set fire to the granary. Xun Yue could not find the arsonist in a short time, so he had to go to the emergency food adjustment. It would take eight days to prepare the food.
[But there are some problems with this situation now. With Xu You and Jushu’s personalities, it is impossible for them to place their hopes on me. From the last situation, it can be seen that the other party has never trusted me. 】
After Li You finished writing, he thought silently, "However, before this letter arrived, Yuan Zhi and Wen Chang had stepped up their attacks on the entire Qinghe. In addition, the Cui family's attitude in Qinghe was ambiguous, so it was unlikely that Qinghe would send food and grass."
[Then what is the value of this letter? Won't Jushou and Xu You do useless work and delay time?] Li You suddenly couldn't understand. In his opinion, Jushou and Xu You shouldn't do this.
[When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Going against the grain, Jushou and Xu You definitely want to win. But the current situation is that the other side knows that the grain road in Yecheng has been cut off and the Qinghe River is blocked. The most correct way should be to attack Yuanzhi.
He Wenchang sent a message to Yecheng to hold on, and all parties went to rescue him.]
[Yuan Shao's main force is contained, so the most correct way to dredge the grain channel is to have a high view of Yuan Zhi and Wen Chang who are attacking Qinghe from the Bohai Sea. When dredging the Qinghe River, it also dredges the grain channel in the Bohai Sea. The other party will definitely be able to think of this.】
Li You looked gloomy, tapping the table with his knuckles, and carefully thinking about every possibility. The best thing about him now is that he can have access to the intelligence of both sides, and watch the battle between the two sides from the perspective of a bystander.
[It seems that the only reason is that the other party is unwilling to give up, but what is the value of delaying food and grass? Assuming that I delay, the enemy and us are actually competing for the worst at that time. Whoever is worse will perish, and the other party cannot
All goals are pinned on me, so when it comes to sending food, they will also have other preparations.】
It was also difficult for Li You to guess what Yuan Shaojun's preparations were. After all, he had miscalculated about the time difference. If Jushou and Xu You had written to Li You a few days earlier, Li You would have very likely estimated that Yuan Shaojun would arrive soon.
Food and grass were transferred to other places, but Li You really couldn't imagine what happened now.
After all, the time is too short. War is sometimes like this. There is a huge difference between a few days of preparation and no preparation at all. Fortunately, Jushou got the news a few days earlier, and then obtained the intelligence a few days earlier.
After everything was done, I wrote to Li You.
[If you can't think of it, then don't think about it. At this time, strengthening yourself and weakening the enemy is the most correct choice. In this case, if you want me to haul food, then I will follow your idea and give you a
A signal that will definitely reassure you!】
Li You sneered inwardly. He couldn't guess what Ju Shou and the others wanted to do, but it wasn't important. Since you can't guess, don't guess! Thinking about it, you might mislead yourself. At this time, there is nothing better than strengthening yourself.
It's important.
That night, Li You ordered people to burn the largest granary on the ground that was first built. As for the grain, most of it was moved away. At the same time, some special spices were burned. That night, the whole Fenggao smelled something.
There was a smell of burning grain, so Xun Yue tried his best to hide it but could not cover up this "fact".
Liu Bei learned the truth of the matter at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles that day. Yuan Shaojun's spies also sent the relevant facts to Yuan Shaojun three days later. Before that, Jushou had received Li You's secret message.
letter.
After Yuan Shaojun's spies described the situation in detail, Yuan Shaojun, who originally still had doubts, Yuan Shaojun immediately had no doubts at all. Xu You and Jushou, who originally had any doubts about Li You, were completely wiped out.
Doubtful, but turned happy to have developed such a high-level spy.
