"It is exactly what my lord said, it is easy to fish in muddy waters."
Jushu nodded, it seemed that Yuan Shu was still very smart.
"The return of Doganda and Humor to the grassland can immediately prevent Sun Fang from unifying that part of the grassland, and the war between them will definitely consume a lot of the grassland's vitality. When our troops enter the grassland, the autumn wind will sweep away the fallen leaves and destroy them. It’s a piece of cake for them~”
After Jushou made some analysis, everyone was speechless, especially Wen Chou. He never thought that just two people could have such a big effect.
Just imagine what the grassland will look like if two or even three parties fight, and how easy it will be for you to send troops to the grassland.
"If the two of them work together to defeat Sun Fang, it won't be long before they unite and invade our Changshan County again. After all, we caused them such a big setback this time, and it will be troublesome then."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and then suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, let them go back and I will naturally do some work, such as telling Humor that Doganda wants to pay for his life.
Or maybe tell Doganda that Humor wants to exchange cattle and sheep for him and he can’t return to the grassland.
Or maybe this is all a deal between Sun Fang and us, and the purpose is to unify the grassland. In short, the three of them can only be enemies, not friends."
"Besides, we won't give them much time at all. Once we have rested properly, we will immediately leave the grassland."
Faced with Zhao Yun's question, Jushou opened his mouth and answered. It was obvious that he had already rehearsed all this in his mind.
"Note, now that you have a plan in mind, you will be fully responsible for the grassland war. Let the two clan leaders let go if they want. Give them money and soldiers. I just want that piece of grassland to be named Yuan from now on. And let them understand the truth: Anyone who offends me, Yuan Shu, will be punished no matter how far away he is~"
After Ju Shou said so much, Yuan Shu had nothing more to say. Anyway, he was going to fight on both sides, so why not just take over the area and raise horses and herd sheep for himself.
"Since my lord has said so, I won't be polite. First of all, I want two thousand cavalry. The equipment of these people must be customized according to the equipment of the prefect's cavalry."
Jushu's first words made Yuan Shu scratch his head. Thinking about two thousand pairs of iron-clad armors, iron-clad wooden shields and hand crossbows, these are all very expensive.
"Okay, the craftsman camp and the Zhang family will work hard to meet your needs~"
"Second, I want two generals, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan~"
"That's okay~ Zhao Yun Gaolan can go with you~"
"Third, the configuration of this cavalry army is to have one person and three cavalry~"
Yuan Shu almost choked to death. After excluding the horses consumed this time, there were only more than 7,000 horses left. You have 2,000 men and three riders, which means you have 6,000 horses at once. It's too cruel.
"Note, the standard configuration of the grassland is only for one person and two riders, or one person and three riders. Are you going to become a horse thief?"
"My lord still understands me. This is the fourth point I want to make. Use the right combination to find the unexpected. To conquer the grassland, you must use extraordinary means. I am going to hide my identity and enter the grassland. I hope your lord will allow it."
"What is the explanation for this?"
"First of all, although you are the governor of a county, this time you send troops to the grassland, you must do it secretly. Otherwise, if you use troops without permission, it will be a capital crime for plundering the family and exterminating the clan. Naturally, you cannot use the banner of the Han family."
"Second, the grassland is different from the Han Dynasty. The people in the grassland are not afraid of the Han army or tribes. What they fear most is the horse thieves who come and go without a trace.
This is because those horse thieves will destroy the whole nation as soon as they attack. The reason why I sent troops to the grassland this time is to do what the horse thieves did, plunder the grassland, and use the blood of the grassland to supplement the strength of Changshan.
Under such circumstances, naturally no one can know that it was our actions.”
After Jushou finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Shu above with bright eyes. He wanted to see what Yuan Shu would choose.
The grassland people live in pastures, and the reason why they repeatedly invaded our Han territory is that they have not eradicated the roots. They can usually be stable for a period of time after a big battle, but when the spring breeze blows, new grassland people will come, and Jushou wants to come this time.
What we do is to exterminate it, completely empty it out, and get rid of this scourge once and for all.
"Don't look at me. Isn't it just burning, killing and looting? What's more? What's more, you are doing it for me, a big man. Think and do it boldly. I will take care of anything for you~"
Yuan Shu looked indifferent. The grassland people coming to the Han border to fight the autumn wind represented looting, killing, and plundering the population. They could be in the first grade of junior high school. Aren't they allowed to be in the fifteenth grade?
When dealing with enemies, either don't fight them or suffocate them to death with a stick. This is Yuan Shu's principle.
"No~"
Jushou burst into tears instantly and knelt down on one knee.
As the saying goes, if you learn martial arts well, you will be sold to the emperor's family. It was worth it for him to meet a master like Yuan Shu.
"Zhao Yun, Gao Lan~"
"Here~"
"Here~"
Hearing Yuan Shu's call, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan took a step forward and knelt down beside Ju Shou.
"I canonize Ju Shou as a military advisor. All affairs concerning sending troops to the grassland will be handled by Ju Shou. If any of you dares to contradict him, the military advisor can kill him first and report later."
After looking at his two favorite generals, Yuan Shu couldn't help but help Jushou establish his military authority again. This time he was going abroad to fight. If there was a disagreement between the generals and the generals, it would definitely collapse.
"Zhao Yun Zun Ling~"
"Gao Lan Zun Ling~"
Zhao Yun and Gao Lan nodded heavily.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, please go down. There are many things waiting for you to be busy~"
"No~"
"Linglong, send someone to ask Gao Lan and Zhao Yun to come and talk to me~"
After everyone left, Yuan Shu sent Linglong to call them back.
"No~"
Linglong stood up and left, but when she reached the gate, she saw that Zhao Yun and Gao Lan hadn't left at all.
"Since the two military commanders have not left, I would like to invite you~"
Linglong calmly invited the two of them back to the banquet hall, and then closed the hall door lightly.
"Lord~"
"Lord~"
"You know I'm looking for you?"
Seeing the two people in front of him, Yuan Shu was puzzled. Instead of calling Cao Cao Cao Cao these days, he should call someone "Nian".
"It's Zilong. He felt that your lord would have something to explain, so the two of us waited at the door for a while~"
Gao Lan simply confessed to Zhao Yun.
"Senior brother~"
Zhao Yun didn't faint when he heard Gao Lan's words. He didn't mean to be so deceptive. He just felt that Yuan Shu might have something to explain. With just that, who knew you would really dare to talk outside.
In ancient times, all those who served as ministers had to cultivate the ability to figure out the emperor's heart, but it was okay to figure it out in private. It would be bad if he really said it in front of Yuan Shu.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. I really have something to explain why I asked you to come back~"
Looking at Zhao Yun's face, Yuan Shu did not continue saying that business was more important.
"Please give me your orders~"
"This trip to the grassland, you are not only marching and fighting, you also have a more important mission~"
