Chapter 287: A Plan of Frustration

After letting Guo Tu go, Lu Bu also sent scouts to probe Yuan Jun's movements. Even if he knew in his heart that with a Guo Tu, it was impossible for Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army, but there were too many accidents in this world, what if this Guo Tu really gave him a surprise?

On the second day, the scout finally found out Yuan Jun's message, and this surprise was not delivered, but a fright! This Yuan Jun is only dozens of miles away from Yuci! Half a day can be in Yuci. If you walk fast, you can reach it in a few hours.

In Yuci City, Lu Bu's face was very solemn. This was not only because Yuan Jun was about to enter the city, but also because the news he received from the scout was quite unusual. Originally, he was still worried about the people outside Yuci City, as well as the people in the cities that Yuan Jun had captured, but judging from the information of this scout, Yuan Jun entered the city without any crimes. Not only that, but this Yuan Shao also opened a warehouse to release grain! And he opened the granaries of the cities which had been conquered, and distributed them among the people. Such an abnormal behavior really made Lu Bu a little puzzled.

"Yuan Shao did this, in my opinion, just because he was bound to win this annex state!"

Li Ru said, "If Yuan Shao enters the city and loots on a large scale, I'm afraid he will have a bad reputation!" This is not in line with the strategy he will govern and merge states after conquering and merging states in the future! Now Yuan Shao is attacking me with an army of 50,000, and he is violent, thinking that this battle can determine me and merge the state! And these people of the state will also be his Yuan Shao's people in the future, so that Yuan Jun will definitely not easily plunder and harass. Moreover, the place where Yuan Jun passed was not violated, and he also distributed food to the people, so that the good name of their Yuan Army would be spread, and more people who were wavering in the state would fall to their Yuan Army. This move can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"But this Yuan army is like this, where does this grain and grass armament come from? This well is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to transport this grain and grass! When Gongming Town guarded the Jingcheng Pass, he was confused because of this grain and grass matter! Now this Yuan Shao's army of 50,000 needs more grain and grass......"

When formulating the battle plan against Yuan, LΓΌ Bu believed that the weakness of Yuan's army was the lack of food and grass. They mobilized their troops to come from afar, and the grain and grass certainly could not last. Even if the Yuan army captured Yuci with a strong offensive, it would be helpless in the face of a fortified city like Jinyang. As long as there is a stalemate with the Yuan army in Jinyang for half a month, the Yuan army, which is short of food and grass, can naturally retreat. It's just that now it seems that there is not much shortage of food among the Yuan army, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the city without committing any crimes, and it would be possible to distribute food to the people.

Such a magnanimous Yuan Shao made Lu Bu only sigh with emotion! This kind of benevolent and righteous thing, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what he Yuan Shao can do. This late Han can do this, I'm afraid there are only the three brothers who don't know where they are staying, right?

"What the lord said is good, Yuan Jun now seems to be in the army, there is no shortage of food! He was able to distribute grain to the people, which means that Yuan Jun has abundant grain and grass in the army, otherwise Yuan Shao would not have made such a decision. As for why there is no shortage of food and grass in this Yuan army, has the lord forgotten the movements of this Yuan army in the past half a month? ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was still a little confused, Li Ru reminded him. Lu Bu only then reacted to what Li Ru meant. Counting this well pass, it has indeed been lost for nearly half a month, but Yuan Jun should have been under Jinyang City a long time ago, but he did not make a move. Until Yan Liang was dispatched as the vanguard, it was a matter of these two days to attack Yuci, but Yuan Jun still had nearly half a month to do in the middle, why did he go?

In the past half a month, Yuan Jun naturally couldn't have taken any rest, or was delayed because of the difficult journey. When you think of today's situation, it can only explain one thing! Yuan Jun has solved the matter of this grain road for nearly half a month! It is very likely that with the strength of Yuan Jun, he wiped out those rogue gangsters in Jingcheng Pass. Moreover, Lu Bu also knew the deeds of Yuan Shao, a bull, and it was really possible to do such a thing.

It is recorded in this history book that when Yuan Shao attacked Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army, he had been following the Taihang Mountain Range, going retrograde to the north, and he cut through the Taihang barrier, and killed the leaders of the Montenegrin Army, and finally fought with Zhang Yan in Jingcheng and won! Since then, the strength of the Montenegrin army has been greatly reduced, and it will never be as strong as it used to be.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu also sighed secretly! Yuan Shao at this time was really not the lord of the four states of Hebei who would be invincible in Guandu in the future. Today's Yuan Shao is the time of ambition and wisdom. Even though there is only a single state in Jizhou, there are many talents under this account, and Yuan Shao at this time is also a good word. Such a strong enemy, Lu Bu had to sigh, in history, it was just a succession and defeat. If this Yuan Shao is really incompetent, the beginning of the battle of Guandu will not be Yuan Qiang and Cao Weak, but Cao Qiang and Yuan Weak.

"In the past two days, the hearts of the people in Yuci City have fluctuated."

Lu Bu looked sideways at Li Ru, "Yuan Jun's spies will definitely not let go of the opportunity to publicize their Yuan Jun's good name like this, you must not let them have an opportunity to take advantage of"

"No!"

Li Ru readily agreed.

At this time, the silent Guo Jiacai suddenly spoke, "Yuci City, easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if the lord controls these Yuan army spies, can he prevent the hearts of these Yuci people?" If Yuan's army comes to the city, and our army retreats to Jinyang after holding out for a few days, what will happen to the people of Yuci? If the lord moved these people to Jinyang, in this way, even if the Yuan army captured Yuci in the future, it would only be an empty city! ”

"Migrate people?"

Lu Bu frowned, "If it is relocated at this time, Yuan Jun will press on it, won't it be a failure?" ”

"If Yuan Jun gets Yuci, then the tens of thousands of people in the city will not be the people of me and the state!"

Guo Jia shouted, "Yuan Jun divides the grain among the people, this plan is very high!" As Li Beijia said, it is killing two birds with one stone, then I will say again, this plan is three eagles with one stone! This Yuan Junsheng can govern the place with this feat, which is praised by the people! Retreat can loot these tens of thousands of people and transfer them to Jizhou. First to favor others, and then to coerce others with soldiers, so that the people of Li are both grateful and afraid of prestige. In this Yuan camp, those who come up with this plan are scheming! ”

"It's a plan of frustration!"

Li Ru also never thought of this third carving, and now listening to Guo Jia's words, he also suddenly realized! And the news from the dark division also allowed Li Ru to quickly identify who could come up with this plan.

This time, Yuan Shao led the army to attack, and there were five strategists around him. However, Xu Youfeng, Ji Guo, Tuxin, and the four of them are unlikely to persuade Yuan Shao to come up with this strategy! Distributing food to the people and winning the hearts of the people is not the style of these celebrities. Only this prison army is frustrated, but it is possible to offer this plan.

"Frustrated!"

Lu Bu snorted lightly, and in his eyes, a trace of killing intent was fleeting.

If this Yuan Shao can teach everything from frustration, why is the world uncertain? Such a strategist, in Yuan Shao's words, is the pillar of Jizhou, but in the eyes of Lu Bu, the enemy, he is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
