After Liu Bei left, Yuan Shao knew that the plan to plot against Liu Yu had failed, and he said to the strategist worriedly: "I can't use the plan here, what can I do?" ”

"Lord, I think that the lord should personally lead the army to fight Liu Yu to the death!" Guo Tu came out and suggested.

Yuan Shao fell into consideration, and he had to be cautious.

"Mr. Gongze, there is no need for the lord to fight Liu Yu now. As long as the enemy is lured deep and constantly harassing its grain channel, there is no need for Liu Yu to retreat! Xu You didn't agree with Guo Tu's method so much.

Guo Tu, as Liu Yu's undercover agent on Yuan Shao's side, naturally knew that if he followed Yuan Shao's plan, Liu Yu would definitely run out of food and grass and retreat, so he had to stop it.

"Mr. Ziyuan, does the lord still have to tolerate Liu Yu now? From the very beginning of Youzhou to the present, the lord has not chosen to endure it. The lord's step-by-step forbearance is only that Liu Yu is more rampant, and now Liu Yu dares to love and hate, and the soldiers who have poured the country come to think that the lord is weak and can be bullied. If he chooses to lure the enemy deeper this time, he can force Liu Yu to withdraw his troops, but he will only withdraw his troops, and he will not be able to make Liu Yu give up his plot against the lord. At the same time, Liu Yu is fighting in my territory, no matter what the result is, Jizhou is finished, and I don't know how long it will take to recover. Lord, what are you talking about dominating the world when the time comes? Cao Mengde saw that the lord and Liu Yu were both defeated, so he didn't have any ideas? Think twice. Guo Tu said all his opinions and made Xu You speechless.

Yuan Shao was frightened, if Jizhou was abolished by Liu Yu, he would not be able to dominate the world, as if he asked for advice! asked Guo Tu: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"The lord gathered all the combatants in Jizhou, Wen Chouyan Liang and other generals, plus our strategists to assist, and fought Liu Yu to the death." Guo Tu said very succinctly.

Yuan Shao calculated that if he gathered Jizhou soldiers and horses, he might be able to destroy Liu Yu.

The judge hurriedly stopped: "The lord can't, but all battles must have reserve forces, if the whole army of Jizhou attacks, I am afraid that Liu Yu will take advantage of it, Guo Tu is delaying the lord." ”

"Judging the military division, in addition to the army of the lord in Jizhou, there are many reserve forces. There are many servants and servants in the family, so it is not possible for them to fight on the battlefield, but it is more than enough to defend the city. Where will there be emptiness? Although there is a gap between you and me, please don't make a fuss about big things. Guo Tu said with a righteous face.

Guo Tu made his words clear, which made the judge extremely ashamed, he really jumped out to stop it just now because he had a grudge against Guo Tu.

Looking at the appearance of the trial, Yuan Shao and other strategists were very ashamed, this guy is still thinking about his personal vendetta.

"Humph! Go down! Yuan Shao didn't even look at the trial, and directly let him go down.

The judge knew that he was at a loss, and returned to the class, silent.

Yuan Shao was still not at ease, and asked, "If this is the case, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Guo Tu said with a smile: "I don't dare to say the odds, only by beating Liu Yu can I make him dare not come again!" Cao Mengde just hurt Liu Yu, does Liu Yu dare to attack him now? ”

Yuan Shao felt reasonable. Guo Tu's smartest thing is to compare Cao Cao, Yuan Shao thinks that he is not inferior to Cao Cao, and what Cao Cao can do, he can also do.

No one objected, Yuan Shao finally made a decision and said: "Liu Yu's traitor deceived people too much, and General Ben decided to kill the thief for the country." General Chuanben ordered all the soldiers and horses in the whole territory of Jizhou to gather in Yecheng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals went out with the army, and Xu Yu and Liyi stayed in Yecheng! The rest of the people are waiting to attack and fight Liu Yu to the death! In addition, all families in Jizhou were ordered to transfer their family slave guards into the army to guard the city! ”

"We will swear allegiance to the lord to the death!" Everyone fell to their knees.

Yuan Shao suddenly felt that he was really wise and powerful, and Liu Yu's army could be destroyed in a snap of his fingers.

Guo Tu smiled slightly, as long as Yuan Shao was lured out of Yecheng, then he would be able to plan well.

Yuan Shao's order was soon issued, and the troops from all the counties and counties of Jizhou gathered in Yecheng. And the clans were not so willing to accept Yuan Shao's order. They believed that Yuan Shao, as the lord of Jizhou, had the obligation and responsibility to protect the safety of their property, net worth, life, etc., and asked them to contribute people and money to protect the city. Yuan Shao was a little helpless, if the family didn't cooperate, he wouldn't be able to fight Liu Yu in a decisive battle.

Feng Ji paid attention to Yuan Shao, as long as the families helped this time, they would definitely have the benefit of defeating Liu Yu, and after conquering Liu Yu's territory in the future, they could be rewarded first. This is a blank check, of course Yuan Shao will not refuse.

The family thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to Yuan Shao, after all, the danger of defending the city was low, and with Yuan Shao's promise, they reluctantly helped Yuan Shao to defend the city.

The three armies were assembled, with nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao was wearing golden armor, and he said a lot of morale-boosting nonsense in front of the army majestically, and then killed Liu Yu in a mighty manner.

Before Yuan Shao set out for the battle, his precious youngest son Yuan Shang came to battle in armor.

"Father, the child asks to go to the front together." Yuan Shang said with a serious face.

Yuan Shao was proud to see his most beloved son so heroic, but he couldn't let Yuan Shang take the risk, and said, "Xianfu, you should stay in Yecheng." For the father, you know your heart, and guard Yecheng well. ”

Of course, Yuan Shang didn't really want to follow, but as a son of man, it was a bit unreasonable for his father to come over if he couldn't go on the expedition. After some words, he pretended to be very reluctant to stay.

Of course, Yuan Tan also came, but he didn't ask for battle, but said goodbye to Yuan Shao, and he wanted to go back to defend Qingzhou.

"Father, the child is going to Qingzhou." Yuan Tan said.

"Well, keep Qingzhou well, for my father, I believe you can do it." Yuan Shao encouraged him with kind words.

Yuan Tan turned around and left in gratitude. And Yuan Shang watched

Before Yuan Tan left, he consulted Guo Tu and said, "Sir, Xianfu has won the love of his father, what should I do?" ”

Guo Tu secretly scolded Yuan Tan for not being able to support the wall, and he was still thinking about fighting for power and profit after this situation. But it's okay, the more chaotic their brothers are, the more Guo Tu can get credit in front of Liu Yu.

"After the eldest prince returns to Qingzhou, he must strictly guard the pass and reorganize the troops, so as not to be calculated by others. In a word, having soldiers in hand is the last word. Guo Tu told Yuan Tandao.

"Thank you, sir, this son is going." Yuan Tan nodded, he knew what Guo Tu was talking about.

Yuan Tan said goodbye to Guo Tu, and ran towards Qingzhou with a prancing horse whip.

Yuan Shang rode a war horse to Guo Tu's side, and said contemptuously: "Guo Junshi still thinks very highly of his brother." I just don't know if the eldest brother can inherit his father's position? ”

Guo Tu smiled playfully, didn't say a word, rode on the war horse with the help of the servant, and gave a roll of cloth to the servant very covertly in his hand, and then followed Yuan Shao's footsteps.

Yuan Shang was ignored by Guo Tu, and he was angry in his heart. But in the presence of everyone, he couldn't have a seizure, and he could only wait for a later date to settle the score.

The servant returned to Yecheng in disguise, and after dressing up, he went out of the city again to deliver Guo Tu's news to Liu Yu.

Yuan Shao looked at the army behind him, and felt a sense of pride.

This time, he wanted to use the power of thunder to destroy Liu Yu, and let Liu Yu know that he Yuan Shao and Yuan were not easy to mess with in the first place.

"Liu Yu, you wait for me, I'm Yuan Benchu!"
