Chapter 393: Double Separation (2)
Ju Yi became a general by virtue of his military exploits, which is nothing wrong, but it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao I feel unhappy in my heart, Ju Yi was born in the army, and what he is most concerned about is the arrangement of troops, as well as the study of troops, it is precisely because he is so obsessed with the study of troops, so he created the first to die.
For example, Yuan Shao likes flattery, but Ju Yi will not, Yuan Shao likes to be flattered, Ju Yi will not either, Yuan Shao likes people from famous families, and everything is determined by the prestige of others, but Ju Yi's reputation is not high, but he can be in a high position, which makes Yuan Shao feel a little uncomfortable.
But now that the war is coming, Yan Liangwen and Chou are dead again, so no matter how unhappy Yuan Shao is, Ju Yi can't change the commander on the spot, he still has a place to get Ju Yi.
A month ago, it was Cao Cao who provoked the relationship between him and Xu Yu there, and a few months later, it seems that it was Cao Xing who provoked the relationship between him and Ju Yi there, but this kind of provocative letter is precisely based on this reason, it is worth Yuan Shao's heart to have some doubts, Ju Yi has Zhao Guo, more than half of the soldiers and horses.
After all, the boss here is him Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao doesn't believe that Xu Yu can make any waves here, but Ju Yi is different, he is not on the battlefield in the west, the most important thing is that Ju Yi has been mixed with soldiers since he was a child, and has won a lot of prestige in the army.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's heart couldn't help but worry. He immediately gathered many of his advisers to discuss the plan.
Among these strategists, the most important ones are Guo Tufengji, Xu Youfu and others.
After Xu You saw this letter, he sneered directly, then looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Don't worry about it, the king and I have been close friends with the general for many years, and I know that he is an upright person, upright, and all his thoughts are on the military, there is no doubt that this letter was written by Cao Xing's Jinyiwei, the purpose is to provoke the relationship between you and Ju Yi, but this also illustrates a problem, that is, Ju Yi did beat Qin State very badly, Cao Xing did not hesitate to use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with him, and Qin State was almost unbearable, On the day of conquering the Qin State, please ask the lord to think clearly! ”
Xu You said a big truth to Yuan Shao in one breath, although these big truths, every sentence is the truth, and they all exist objectively, but in Yuan Shao's ears, there is indeed a little harshness, Yuan Shao originally had some dislike for this Xu You, but when Xu You spoke, he always pretended to have an unfathomable look, especially his last sentence, let Yuan Shao think about it clearly, isn't he subconsciously saying that Yuan Shao's IQ is limited, and he can't even see this little strategy?
However, for Xu Yu's arrogance, Yuan Shao still chose to hold back, and then he looked at the other strategists, glanced at everyone present, and did not express his opinion, while Guo Tu Fengji frowned, thought for a moment, and finally said to Yuan Shao.
"King, this letter is indeed suspected of sowing discord, but we must also be prepared with both hands, and we must not let the general mess around!"
In fact, Guo Tu Fengji also expected that Ju Yi would definitely not have the heart of rebellion, after all, Ju Yi is just a military general, and it is okay to charge into battle, but when it comes to governing the country, where will he be, so talking about Ju Yi's rebellion, it is a complete joke, unless Ju Yi has already contacted other important ministers in the court.
However, in order to cater to Yuan Shao, Guo Tu and Fengji also had to say this, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment after hearing this, he also knew that changing the commander in battle was a taboo for soldiers, and Ju Yi must not be replaced at this moment, if Ju Yi left, who would deal with Qin State, so Yuan Shao's final decision was to tear up the letter on the spot, but he did issue another order behind his back, sending a deputy marshal to Ju Yi.
In a war, of course, there is only one commander, but there can be many deputy marshals, and the things that the deputy marshal is in charge of, that is, what logistics and armaments, or part-time staff officers, etc., anyway, there are many kinds, the deputy marshal that Yuan Shao sent out this time must be his cronies, and the person he finally selected is his nephew Gao Gan, after all, in Yuan Shao's opinion, only the people closest to him are the most credible.
So, Gao Gan set off from here to Ju Yi's military camp, when Gao Gan came to Ju Yi's military camp, Ju Yi was also a little in a hurry, and hurriedly came out to greet Gao Gan's arrival, and after Gao Gan saw Ju Yi, he smiled and patted Ju Yi's shoulder, saying that the reason why King Zhao sent him here was that there was nothing else, he let Ju Yi relax and fight in front of him with peace of mind, all logistics would be guaranteed, as long as Ju Yi could conquer Qin, it would definitely be the first hero of Zhao State.
Hearing this, Ju Yi's hanging heart was also put down, and he started to be the coach in front with peace of mind. However, perhaps Ju Yi thought that Yuan Shao sent senior cadres to come for no special purpose, just to inspire him, but the actual situation may not be as Ju Yi imagined.
At this moment, Cao Xing had already arrived at the front line of Zhao Jun's soldiers and personally commanded the battle.
Che Wu handed over the information of Jinyiwei, Cao Xing showed a smile on his face, and then handed over the secret report to everyone, and everyone stayed here, and the information on it was written very clearly.
After Gao Gan came, Ju Yi did not raise much vigilance, and still commanded hard in the front.
It's just that the high-ranking cadre has a little more of his small movements, Ju Yi is fighting desperately in the front, but he is in the rear, he is in the rear to entertain the generals, to be precise, he entertains the people in the military camp every day, and the people he entertains include the high-level in the army, and the vanguard of the front charge, anyway, there is no Ju Yi.
Gao Gan's move is no different, so he is gathering people's hearts and gradually overthrowing Ju Yi, but Ju Yi is really unaware of this, it can also be said that Ju Yi is turning a blind eye, after all, in Ju Yi, it seems that these power struggles are important, but they are definitely not as important as the war, as long as he can win the Qin State, everything is easy to say.
As for the small actions that Gao Gan did in the back, it was indeed a little unfriendly to him Ju Yi, for example, Gao Gan would find Ju Yi from time to time to say some inexplicable things, which made Ju Yi a little dissatisfied, but others were personally sent by King Zhao, so pay attention to answering truthfully.
However, from this point, Cao Xing saw a different breakthrough point. The strategy he chose was simple, that is, to draw troops from within the Qin State and pile them all up to the front line, and he wanted to fight a protracted battle with Ju Yi.
The soldiers of the Qin State may be a little smaller than the Zhao State, only about 100,000, but Ju Yi wants to defeat the entire 100,000 people at once, I am afraid it is not so easy.
Therefore, like Cao Cao's side, Cao Xing's side also launched a protracted war with Zhao State. Because the total number of troops invested by the three countries in this war was about 400,000, it was a long and arduous war, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and now this battle has been fought for a year, from the end of 196 AD to the beginning of 198 AD.
The three forces are very tired, perhaps the only person who is more excited is Yuan Shao, because under his unremitting efforts, his troops are slowly moving forward, and now Cao ** has reached a dead end, maybe it will not be long before it can fully defeat Cao Cao's troops, and then directly drive straight in, and Wei's internal emptiness war has exhausted all his forces, so as long as he defeats Cao Cao's main army, it can be said that he has captured Wei.
Therefore, Yuan Shao also forcibly raised his spirit, and let his subordinates work overtime to conquer Cao Cao, there must be no relaxation, and all his subordinates were also killed, after all, they were able to defeat the Wei State, and all the people present were heroes.
Xu You, who is in charge of the intelligence organization of Zhao State, is also doing his best, he knows that Wei State has reached the last moment, and it may not be long before it will collapse, but there is a faint sense of foreboding in Xu You's heart, he was once Cao Cao's friend.
Although Cao Cao in his youth was decent and there was nothing more prominent, but after he became an adult, Xu You also studied Cao Cao well, and he found that Cao Cao was able to go from an official eunuch disciple to the position of King Wei step by step, not only because of his family power, Cao Cao is also powerful, and he can be called a hero.
However, Cao Cao is about to lose the battle for a year, and in this year, Cao Cao is losing and retreating, Xu You is thinking about a question, is Cao Cao's character willing to fail like this? Won't he organize a decent counterattack?
Xu You has been thinking about this matter, which makes him a little puzzled, but when one day comes, Xu You directly threw his idea out of the clouds, because his intelligence organization intercepted a secret letter sent by Cao Cao to Xuchang, and he needed to open the secret letter to take a look, and the whole person was overjoyed, and without saying a word, he immediately went to find Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao opened the secret letter in front of everyone, and when he first saw the contents on it, his expression was also shocked. He just wanted to watch everyone announce the order loudly, but when he saw Xu Yu's flickering eyes, somehow, he had a strange feeling in his heart, so he swallowed the words back alive, he first handed over the secret letter to everyone to see, and then asked his many advisers and generals without being salty.
"What do you think?"
Yuan Shao asked many strategists to express their opinions, some people think that what Lixin said above is clear, Cao Cao told Xun Yu of Xuchang that the military rations in his army have run out, and let Xun Yu quickly find a way to get him some military rations, otherwise his troops will be completely defeated.
Therefore, some people immediately thought that Cao Cao would not be able to last long if he directly attacked as Xu You said.
However, some people think that this is Cao Cao's strategy, you must know that Xun Yu can be regarded as an important minister in Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent a letter to Xun Yu, no matter how he had to go through his secret channels, why was he intercepted by Xu Yu so easily.
As soon as this question came out, a hint of shrewdness flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and Xu You was a little unhappy when he heard this, he stood up, and he looked at the strategists who spoke.
"What are you kidding there? Cao Cao's military rations are out of stock, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and my intelligence organization, also went deep into the Wei State to investigate well, in this more than a year, Cao Cao has been fighting to the death with our army, its strength continues to lose, while recruiting troops to the rear, while asking for food from the rear, so there is not much food in Wei State, even if he sends this letter to Xun Yu's hands, Xun Yu will not be able to bring him much military rations, Cao Cao has been exhausted, we should take this opportunity to take it down in one fell swoop, But you are here to be suspicious, what are you comfortable with? ”
Speaking of the back, Xu You's expression became a little atmospheric, they Zhao Guo is indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, there are many intrigues and undercurrents, such as those Guo Tu Fengji and others around Yuan Shao.
Even the most important thing is that Yuan Shao has three sons, Yuan Tan Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, these three people can be regarded as reincarnated in the right place, and they actually voted into the emperor's house.
So at this moment in Yuan Shao's harem, the three sons have already begun to intrigue and compete with each other, because everyone knows that Yuan Shao will also have a day a hundred years later, after Yuan Shao's death, who will be the king of Zhao State? This has already aroused the covetousness of their three sons, so Yuan Shao's three sons have begun to intrigue with each other all the time.
However, for all this, Yuan Shao actually let it go, and even gave his three sons a lot of convenience, letting them manage a place by themselves, saying that they were exercising them, but in fact, they were increasing their strength, and the three sons all had a lot of power in their hands, so they also began to form gangs, and the ministers stood in line.
This was the most serious struggle within the Zhao State, the dispute between the Emperor and the Prince.
Who will be able to inherit Yuan Shao's position in the future seems to be a very crucial question for many ministers. Even Xu You is not exempt from vulgarity, he also has his own candidates in his heart, but Xu You is also obviously aware of a problem, this Yuan Shao has not yet reached the point of dying old at the moment, and he has begun to think about these things, whether it is too long, and more importantly, in the face of his ministers, he did not stop it.
As a result, it has aggravated the intrigue and power struggle within Zhao State, and now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is placed in front of the pig people of Zhao State, and one by one they are still thinking about the idea of conspiracy and trickery, which is simply unattainable.
The more Xu You spoke, the more angry he became, and even in the end it had risen to the point of slapping the table, the hatred in Xu You's heart.
