"Boom..."

"Boom..."

An earth-shattering thunderclap rang out, and it was not caused by the cavalry. Looking up at the sky, you can see flashes of lightning in various colors such as white, cyan, and blue, and the shapes are also different, ranging from branch-like to rocket-shaped, and as well as lightning like a straight line. Looking at this rhythm, it is clear that this is a harbinger of a storm.

Although it was night, I couldn't see the specific situation above the sky can't see clearly, but as long as I imagine it in my mind, I also know that it must be dark clouds now, and black clouds are pressing down on the city.

At the moment when the rumbling thunder dispersed into a thunderbolt, it couldn't help but make people thrilled. The thunderbolt was still clattering, and the dark clouds cracked, sending golden arrows of lightning out of the dense clouds to the earth. Thunder roared, dark clouds burned, spewing terrible blue flames, the sky trembled, and the earth shook timidly... Then, I heard the sound of "boom" raindrops, and the heavy rain fell.

A storm is coming!

Outside the city of Yanxian County, the neat camp tents are lined up one by one, like the phalanx of each team during the military parade. And at this moment, in the most central tent, Yuan Shao gathered his strategists and generals to discuss something. The thunder was loud and the rain was rolling, but the atmosphere in the camp was very oppressive at the moment. Of course, the reason why the atmosphere was depressed was not because of the weather, but just now, Yuan Shao received a military message from Xu You from Tong County. It is precisely because of this military situation that the atmosphere in Yuan Shao's camp is so depressing.

Xu You didn't send much military information, but it simply explained how Yuan Chang took the city. Then take down Tong County. Everything sounds so pleasing to the eye, which is naturally excellent news. If there is no last word, though. This good news is tantamount to a chilled bayberry soup in the scorching sun, and after the last sentence, the news is instantly reversed.

"Yuan Taishou was stationed in Tong County, rectified Tong County, and after the rectification was completed, he would move forward. ”

At first glance, this sentence seems to be fine, but this is it. In the eyes of Yuan Shao's subordinates, the problem is quite serious.

According to the original strategic policy, Yuan Chang attacked from the front line of Rongcheng. Then he took Tong County, and then marched to Yu County, besieged Gongsun Chan with Yuan Shao, and forced Gongsun Chan to Zhuo County to besiege him, while Yuan Shao marched from the front line of Beiqiao City. Won Beiqiao City, Gu'an City in Yu County and Yuan Chang waved his division. Besiege Gongsun Chan together. Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, this is also an unspoken rule, and everyone has a default strategy in their hearts. However, now Yuan Chang is not playing cards according to common sense, but is rectifying Tongxian County as he did when he won Rongcheng. Although according to the agreement, after Youzhou is taken, it belongs to Yuan Chang, and Yuan Chang is only doing this in advance to prepare for it. But. It seems that there is no need to be in a hurry, right? Anyway, it is not possible to wait until you take Youzhou and then slowly rectify it? If it is according to Yuan Chang's approach, Yuan Shaoke will have to face Gongsun Zhan's main force alone. No matter who it is. I wouldn't be in a good mood to hear such news. What Yuan Shao's mood was, everyone didn't know, but Yuan Shao's subordinates were undoubtedly very angry after learning the news.

"Lord!"

Feng Ji was humiliated by Yuan Chang in Bohai County, although he was afraid of Yuan Chang's strong strength, it did not mean that Feng Ji would be afraid of Yuan Chang. Now Yuan Chang's approach will obviously cause public anger. Therefore, Feng Ji thought to himself that it was time to stand up and accuse Yuan Chang of not.

"According to the original agreement, the lord and Yuan Taishou jointly attacked Gongsun Zhan. However, now the lord has restrained Gongsun Zhan's main force, but Yuan Taishou is doing his own thing, and he did not take into account the lord's embarrassment, but instead stationed the army in Tongxian for rectification. Naturally, his subordinates did not object to Yuan Taishou's approach, but at least they had to send people to fight against Gongsun Zhan's main force with the lord, so that they could be regarded as allies, but according to Yuan Taishou's approach, it was a little immoral. ”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, looked at Feng Ji calmly, and didn't know whether to agree with Feng Ji's words or oppose Feng Ji's words.

"My lord, what you say when you join the army is very true. ”

Immediately after Feng Ji, Guo Tu, who has always disagreed with Feng Ji, also jumped out in favor of Feng Ji's statement.

"The lord is naturally not afraid of Gongsun Zhan, but according to the agreement, this Youzhou belongs to Yuan Taishou. If Yuan Taishou doesn't have any strength at all, it will all depend on the lord to deal with Gongsun Zhan, and hand over Youzhou to Yuan Taishou in the future, and his subordinates will naturally have no opinion. However, the soldiers below will inevitably be dissatisfied. Why should the Youzhou they took with their efforts be handed over to Yuan Taishou? In this way, maybe it will make the soldiers dissatisfied. ”

Yuan Shao's face jumped, and he seemed to finally have some reaction. However, he still did not speak.

Yuan Shao's reaction was like this, but it made his subordinates not know what Yuan Shao meant at the moment. However, Yuan Shao didn't speak, the strategists and generals under his command still had to speak, and they made plans to deal with Gongsun Zhan, there was no reason for Yuan Chang to get Youzhou so easily. Just like the Battle of Chibi in history, the Eastern Wu side contributed to the strategy, although Liu Bei's side also contributed to the force, compared to the strength of the Eastern Wu side, it is not worth mentioning. As a result, the Eastern Wu side lost its troops and blocked Cao Cao's attack for Liu Bei, and in the end, Liu Bei drew a knife in his back to take Jingzhou, no wonder Zhou Yu vomited blood. This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone, and a Confucian general like Zhou Yu, who is almost a top-level strategist, can't accept it, let alone a group of people under Yuan Shao's command who are only equivalent to first-class strategists.

"My lord, my subordinates thought that what Guo Cheng said when he joined the army was very true. ”

Following Feng Ji and Guo Tu, what jumped out was naturally the trial. Historically, every time there is a discussion, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, and Xu Yu will each have their own opinions, once one of them says an opinion, there will inevitably be another person who jumps out to oppose it, and then the third person jumps out and will say an opinion different from the previous two. I have to say that at the time of the internal struggle, several strategists under Yuan Shao's command were full of wisdom and racked their brains, if they could do this when dealing with Cao Cao, I am afraid that Yuan Shao might have killed Cao Cao long ago. It will not lead to the defeat of the Guandu army and finally die of illness. However, this time, except for Xu You, he was not there. It is a miracle that the other three main strategists were able to agree so unanimously.

"Previously, Yuan Taishou held a military parade in Bohai County, showing his strong military strength. Although there is no Yuan Taishou to help, the lord will naturally be able to win Gongsun Zhan. However, with Yuan Taishou, the lord's soldiers and horses did not have to be damaged too much. However, now Yuan Taishou is in a disadvantageous place for his own interests, and his subordinates think. Yuan Taishou's trip was inappropriate. The lord can send a letter to Tong County, so that Yuan Taishou can lead his troops to come to Yu County to meet the lord and the lord, and everyone will take Gongsun Chan together. That's right. Otherwise, if you take Youzhou in the future, the lord will not need to hand over Youzhou to Yuan Taishou according to the agreement. ”

"The lord, the last general, etc., also think so. Yuan Taishou should join up with our army to attack Gongsun Zhan. ”

"My lord..."

After the three advisors spoke. Several other henchmen also spoke out in support. Unexpectedly, just because Yuan Chang did not lead troops to support Yuan Shao's battlefield, he made the civil and military officials under Yuan Shao so unified, if Yuan Chang knew, he would definitely feel that he had inadvertently done another good thing.

After everyone in the room had almost spoken, only the last one did not speak. This person is Tian Feng, who is known for his uprightness, and he is also Yuan Shao's other driver.

"Tian Beijia, what do you think about this matter?"

Yuan Shao listened to the opinions of so many people. But he still didn't say anything, but looked at Tian Feng. Yuan Shao had many advisers. Except for Fu Zhu and Xin Ping, who were stationed in Jizhou to handle internal affairs for Yuan Shao, and Xu Yu followed Yuan Chang, the rest are basically here. Among the strategists under Yuan Shao, only Fu Zhu and Tian Feng did not fight for power and profit, and did not form gangs. Every time the other strategists engaged in a battle of words, the two of them stayed on the sidelines. However, this time it was in the face of Yuan Chang's question, and Tian Feng naturally would not continue to remain silent.

"My lord, my subordinates think that what my colleagues say is very true. ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment before taking a step forward, bowed for a long time, and then said righteously: "If you talk about it, this time the lord waved his troops in Youzhou, it was for Yuan Taishou to fight. If Yuan Taishou only cares about his own interests and does not fight side by side with the lord, it is not moral enough. Therefore, the subordinates thought that the lord should write a letter to Yuan Taishou and ask him to come to Yu County to help in the war. ”

Tian Feng is upright, but it doesn't mean that he is a good person. Tian Feng, as Yuan Shao's strategist, naturally wants to consider Yuan Shao's interests, and now Yuan Shao is here to fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan's main force, but Yuan Chang is very comfortable in Tongxian County, regardless of Yuan Shao's casualties, in Tian Feng's opinion, Yuan Chang's behavior is very unkind, and naturally he will not speak for Yuan Chang.

"That's what you think?"

When Tian Feng finished speaking, and everyone's opinions were expressed, Yuan Shao's eyes widened and swept over the civil and military people under his command.

When everyone nodded in unison, Yuan Shao sighed slightly disappointed.

"Let me ask you, didn't Yuan Taishou send troops? Could it be that he didn't fight? Just picked up ready-made ones in the rear of our army?" Yuan Shao looked at everyone with a serious face, and did not wait for everyone to answer, and continued: "At the beginning, Yuan Taishou marched from the front line of Rongcheng, and there were also enemies, but Yuan Taishou took Rongcheng without effort. Subsequently, Gongsun Chan also sent his son Gongsun Xu to lead an army of 50,000 to intercept Yuan Taishou's soldiers and horses, the same 50,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan often used a plan to take Tongxian, this is Yuan Taishou's ability, what are you dissatisfied with? Our army is 150,000, Gongsun Chan is also 150,000, but our army is stopped outside the city of Gu'an, if it is not for the news that Yuan Taishou took Tongxian, Gongsun Zhan's army is unstable, I am afraid that our army is still fighting outside the city of Gu'an. Speaking of which, Yuan Taishou has already given us help, and the pace of our army's advance is so slow, we can only say that our army is incompetent, and Yuan Taishou cannot be blamed in the slightest. ”

Hearing Yuan Shao say this, everyone woke up, and it seemed that this was the truth.

At the beginning, Yuan Chang easily took Rongcheng and then rectified, and then, Yuan Chang easily took Tongxian and Fangcheng, and he was still rectifying. Because Yuan Chang attacked the city too easily, it made people feel that he didn't seem to do anything. However, now that Yuan Shao said this, Yuan often sent troops and food, and the enemy he faced was the same, but people were so easy to capture the city, this is the ability of others, can they accuse Yuan Chang of not contributing?

Of course, maybe everyone understands this in their hearts. However, thinking of such a difficult battle for his side. But Yuan Chang's battlefield is so easy, they may have some imbalance in their hearts, so they will blame Yuan Chang for not doing it. Now think about it. As Yuan Shao said, it is his own incompetence that will lead to this.

Yuan Shao saw the expressions on everyone's faces and knew that they had all begun to wake up, so he didn't continue to accuse. His face softened, and he said quietly: "Besides, according to the agreement we have with Yuan Taishou. This time, the Youzhou was handed over to Yuan Taishou to govern, and in the future, Yuan Tai's code took Qingzhou and merged the state to be handed over to us to govern. If we let Yuan Taishou help the war this time, he will let Yuan Taishou attack Qingzhou and Bingzhou and let our army help the war. And what about it?"

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, everyone's faces changed slightly, and their faces showed a little shame.

Speaking of which, this attack on Youzhou. The two sides did not say they wanted to come together. It's just strategically. It's a good idea, and everyone takes it for granted. Hearing Yuan Shao's words at this moment, they finally reacted, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and not everything could be as they thought.

"The lord is wise, it is very difficult for me to wait, and I have made a few mistakes in the lord's major affairs, and I ask the lord to punish him!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand absently. He said in a harmonious voice: "You don't need to blame yourself, I also know that you are thinking about me. That's why I had such thoughts. Now that our army and Yuan Taishou are jointly attacking Gongsun Zhan, we should work together and not have other thoughts. Don't mention these things again in the future! Look at the sky tonight, there will definitely be heavy rain, and this kind of weather is afraid that Gongsun Chan will go out of the city and sneak attack, everyone will return to their own positions, stick to their duties, and don't give Gongsun Chan a chance to take advantage of it. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

"The last general obeys!"

After the strategists and generals under his command walked out of the big tent, Yuan Shao looked at the empty tent, his eyes were unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. After a long time, Yuan Shao's pupils became focused, and he sighed, which lasted for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

However, after the trial, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others returned to their respective camps, they began to go through various literary records in Youzhou, such as the humanities and maps in Youzhou. After all, they are first-class strategists, although they will quarrel for power, but they naturally want to help Yuan Shao take Jizhou. Moreover, in order to be able to overwhelm others, they will always work harder, hoping to win great achievements in the battle of attacking Youzhou.

Tonight thunder and lightning are ringing, thunder is bursting, and everyone knows that there will be heavy rain in this weather. And, looking at this situation, it may still be a strong rainstorm, a rare rainstorm. Because of this rainstorm, the war may be much more difficult.

"It seems that the performance of our waiting tonight has made the lord a little dissatisfied. ”

The judge sat in front of the desk in a daze for a moment, and then sighed and muttered to himself.

Although Yuan Shao didn't say it explicitly, at the time of the discussion just now, Yuan Shao mentioned many times that Yuan Chang was able to easily take the three cities of Rongcheng, Fangcheng and Tongxian by relying on their own ability, obviously, Yuan Shao's voiceover meant that the ability of their subordinates was too poor. It's not wrong to think about it, although Yuan Chang and Gongsun Xu fought against each other with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan both had 150,000 soldiers and horses, but in terms of strategists and generals, the number of Yuan Shao's side was several levels higher than the number of Yuan Chang's side, of course, the quality was another matter. However, it was so easy for Yuan Chang to win three cities, but it was extremely difficult for Yuan Shao, and so far he had only won two cities, Beiqiao City and Gu'an City. Therefore, Ancheng was able to be taken, or because of the victory on Yuan Chang's side, which affected Gongsun Zhan's military morale, and after Gongsun Zhan's army retreated, Yuan Shao easily took it. If there was no good news from Yuan Chang's side, I am afraid that they would still be fighting to the death in Gu'an City now, with heavy casualties.

"Since following the lord, I have spent most of my time fighting for power with them, and I have not been able to achieve anything. I think you should pay attention in the future, and at least let the lord know what he is capable of. ”

In fact, the power struggle between the strategists under Yuan Shao's command is still for the position of military advisor.

It was Lu Zhi who served as the military advisor at the beginning, and his identity and reputation were there, so everyone naturally had no other thoughts. However, since Lu Zhi was seriously ill and had not participated in Yuan Shao's deliberations, the strategists under Yuan Shao's command suddenly had the idea that the position of military advisor would become vacant sooner or later, and they would naturally compete for this extremely powerful position. There is no doubt about the importance of the position of military advisor, I am afraid that under Yuan Shao alone, even if others are not satisfied, they must remain respectful on the surface. Otherwise, if you are disrespectful to the military advisor, you will be disrespectful to Yuan Shao in disguise. In order to compete for this position, the strategists under Yuan Shao's command can be described as stabbing to the flesh. There was no mercy. And after Yuan Shao's rebuke today, the judge suddenly figured out that he only had an outstanding performance in the battle against Youzhou. to have a chance to win the position of military advisor. Therefore, the review and allocation can only help to conquer Youzhou and make great contributions by working overtime to check the information of Youzhou.

"However, if you want to take Youzhou and make great achievements, you also need the cooperation of the generals in the army, so that it can be more beneficial. ”

While reading the literary records of Youzhou, the judge was still thinking about it in his mind. A counselor of this level like Judge. It is not difficult to use two things, and if you are a top strategist, it is extremely normal to use multiple things.

"Wen Chou and Yan Liang have always been arrogant. We and other civil servants are not taken into account. And they have made friends many times, and the two of them have not responded in the slightest, but these two can give up. Speaking of which, the two generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, are much better. And now their status is not high. is often suppressed by Wen Chou and Yan Liang. I think I also have dissatisfaction in my heart. If I were to show favor to both of them now, they would both be grateful to Dade. Although Gao Ran's strength is strong, his other abilities are average, but Zhang He's talent is good, and if he befriends Zhang He, he can get the support of two important generals in the army, which can be done. This time, Zhang He proposed to feint to attack Zhuo County, so as to disrupt Gongsun Zhan's military morale, but this plan was good. It can be a blockbuster. Such talents are excellent allies. Efforts should be made to make friends. ”

Thinking of this, the judge hurriedly looked at the map of Zhuo County, and at the same time looked for information about Zhuo County in the literary records. As long as he can come up with a good plan to give to Zhang He, he will be able to make Zhang He and Gao Ran show their faces in front of Yuan Shao, and he, as the person who offered the advice, would naturally get the favor of Zhang He and Gao Ran. When the time comes, they will be able to overwhelm the others.

"Hey, something seems wrong!"

Staring at the map of Zhuo County, while flipping through the records of Zhuo County, the judge's brows furrowed slightly. It's just that this thought came and went quickly, but for a while, I couldn't think of anything wrong. The judge only felt that this slightest thing was very important to him, so he quickly gave up other thoughts and concentrated on thinking about it. Perhaps, as long as he thinks of this idea, perhaps, it is the basis for his successful trial.

"Yes, there's something wrong here, Changshui River!"

It's just that what's wrong with Changshuihe? The judge did not give up thinking, and continued to rack his brains to think, and his intuition told the judge that this problem was very serious, so serious that it could affect whether the relationship between him and Zhang He was close.

"Changshuihe, Zhanghe, Zhuoxian, feints?"

As time passed, the judge felt that his thoughts seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, and he faintly connected Zhang He in his mind.

"What does Zhang He's attack on Zhuo County have to do with the Changshui River?"

The judge whispered, and his eyes were once again on the map of Zhuo County on the desk. Suddenly, the judge's gaze froze, carefully calculating the distance between Changshui River and Zhuoxian, and the judge's head exploded suddenly, and finally understood.

"Zhang He's attack on Zhuo County is actually planning to take Zhuo County with the help of the Changshui River!

The judge exclaimed, but after a blink of an eye, he shook his head again. Zhang He is just a military general, how could he come up with such an amazing strategy? Unless Zhang He has amazing talents around him to help, but Zhang He seems to have only one person by his side, who else can there be?

If in normal times, even if there is Changshui River, it is naturally helpless to Zhuo County. However, according to the sky tonight, the rainstorm will definitely fall, and at that time, as long as it can be arranged, it will definitely not be difficult to take Zhuo County with the help of the Changshui River. However, Zhang He set off for Zhuo County three days ago, and he couldn't see anything from the sky. And Zhang He proposed to Yuan Shao to feint to attack Zhuo County, in fact, he wanted to take Zhuo County, obviously he had foreseen that there would be a heavy rain, if it was really like that, then Zhang He's talent would be really amazing. Even if there are people around Zhang He to give advice, it is not easy for Zhang He to be able to get such a talent to help.

"Alas, it seems that I can't take the opportunity to make friends with Zhang He this time. ”

Zhang He is about to take Zhuo County, can he have a greater credit than this matter? This is obviously impossible.

At the same time as the trial sighed, in Yuan Shao's military camp, several camp tents also let out the same sigh.

"It's not good, Zhuo County is in danger!" (to be continued......)
