Chapter 1326: Yuan Benchu Plans Jizhou (I)
Chapter 1327: Yuan Benchu Planned Jizhou (II)
After the generals left, Yuan Shao looked at the strategists in the tent for a moment and said: "You are the people trusted by the Hou, and now that Lu Bu is attacking Yizhou, it is the best time for our army to seize Jizhou from Lu Bu." β
"Lord, now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng, and the main general in the army is Zhang Liao, a famous general under Lu Bu, and Jizhou Mu Gu Yong is also Cai Yong's proud disciple, the lord should be careful of these two." Guo Tudao, since Yuan Shang's accidental death, Yuan Tan has become the best candidate for Yuan Shao's heir, at this point, even Feng Ji and others have to admit that many officials who originally supported Yuan Shang secretly showed favor to Yuan Tan, for these people, Yuan Tan listened to Guo Tu's advice and was not embarrassed.
Yuan Shang's matter made Yuan Tan trust Guo Tu even more, and in comparison, Xin Bi, who helped Yuan Tan pacify Qingzhou, gradually faded out of Yuan Tan's sight.
Yuan Shao said: "Zhang Liao is a puppet, with your wisdom, can't you defeat him?" β
"The lord is wise, and his subordinates are not properly considered." Seeing Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction, Guo Tu hurriedly said.
Xin Bi secretly despised it, if Zhang Liao was so easy to deal with, Jizhou would not have fallen into such a critical situation in the first place, and Zhang Liao could become one of the five tiger generals under Lu Bu and take charge of the Jizhou army, which is enough to see his ability.
"Lord, now General Gao Ran is in the Jizhou Army, if General Gao Ran can be convinced, it will be much easier to break through the Jizhou Army." Feng Ji Dao.
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This matter is secretly planned by Yuan Tu to find out the news of Jizhou, if you can persuade Gao Lan, you should be the first to take the lead." β
"Whoa." Feng Ji's face was excited, after Yuan Shang's death, his position under Yuan Shao's account became a lot more embarrassing, and when facing Yuan Tan, he had no confidence in the past, if he could get Yuan Shao's trust again through merit, even Yuan Tan had to be careful when facing him.
Obviously, there is some distrust of the strategists under his command now, and the negotiations between Yuan Shao and the strategists did not talk about the most confidential things, which is also common sense, at this time, among the strategists under his command, many family members are still in Jizhou, which leads to the fact that some strategists are likely to take refuge in Lu Bu in secret, and attacking Jizhou is a crucial step for Yuan Shao to re-emerge.
"Gongzhi, you will leave tonight, go to Qinghe, and after you arrive in the city, secretly contact the Yang family." Yuan Shao left Guo Tu alone.
Guo Tu's heart moved, and he gave it up.
Ganling City is the county of Qinghe, after Lu Bu occupied Jizhou, the Qinghe country was changed to Qinghe County, not only Qinghe, Zhao State, Changshan State were all changed to counties, the country and the county are there a certain difference, the country of Qinghe is much higher than the county Taishou in the official position.
Qinghe County's Taishou is Dong Zhao, Dong Zhao was originally a civil official under Yuan Shao, after Yecheng was breached, he took refuge in Lu Bu, and was appreciated by Gu Yong with his talent, and was appointed as the Taishou of Qinghe County, but Dong Zhao understands that his Taishou is very different from the Taishou under the rule of other princes, first of all, in terms of power, the army in the city is in the hands of Cheng Lian, this person who is known as a general under Lu Bu is not easy to get along with, and the soldiers in the army just obey the orders of the generals, at this point, The army under LΓΌ Bu had a strict system.
Of course, at this time, among the soldiers of Qinghe County, there were many people from Jizhou, which also caused a certain degree of influence on the army of the family, but this influence was gradually weakened under the system and training of the Bingzhou army.
What kind of person is Cheng Lian, that is the fierce general who followed Lu Bu at the beginning, although over the years, because of the continuous wars in the Bingzhou Army, these generals who initially followed Lu Bu have been covered up a lot, and they still can't ignore their strength.
Although Dong Zhao took refuge in Lu Bu was helpless, but Gu Yong's trust gave Dong Zhao a sense of belonging, through Lu Bu, Dong Zhao understood that it was extremely difficult for Yuan Shao to regain control of Jizhou, and if he wanted to seize Jizhou, he must defeat the 30,000 army in Yecheng, what kind of combat effectiveness the army under Lu Bu had, Yuan Shao must be extremely clear, looking at the princes, there are almost no people who can compete with Lu Bu in military strength.
Yuan Shao's army plain did cause a lot of turmoil in Qinghe County, Dong Zhao could feel the fluctuation of the family in the city, too, Lu Bu was leading the army to attack Yizhou, even if there was a war in Jizhou, it would be difficult to take care of it in a short time.
After Guo Tu entered the city, he directly found the Zhang family.
Yang Kai, the head of the Yang family, chose to cooperate without hesitation, the Yang family was originally a relatively important family in Qinghe, after Lu Bu entered Jizhou, all this changed, the fields in the family were gone, and he was always worried about the threat from the state pastor's mansion, this feeling was never felt by the family in Jizhou, he didn't want the Yang family to be so depressed in Jizhou, and Yuan Shaotun was on the plain, so that Zhang Kai saw the opportunity.
Looking at Yang Kai, who was slightly bloated and his eyes were bright, Guo Tu smiled and said: "The head of the Yang family understands the righteousness and takes refuge in the Marquis of Ye, if the army of the Marquis of Ye breaks through the Qinghe, the head of the Zhang family will make a great contribution, but the second brother of the Qinghe guards the general Cheng Lian, and he is a famous general under the command of the Marquis of Jin, so he has to guard against it." β
"Lord Guo rest assured, I still have some ability in the city, as long as the army of the Marquis of Ye arrives, I guarantee that the Qinghe River will fall into the hands of the Marquis of Ye." Yang Kai said with an oath.
"Okay, then, I'll wait for the news of the Yang family master." Guo Tu said with a smile, he was obviously satisfied with the results of this trip, and the surrender of the Yang family meant that the Qingzhou army had a greater chance of winning by seizing Qinghe.
Then Guo Tu left Qinghe and came to Yecheng, seeing the familiar and unfamiliar Yecheng, Guo Tu's heart could not be calm, thinking about how high-spirited Yuan Shao was when he was in charge of Jizhou, and he broke Gongsun Zhan, and let the strategists of Jizhou see hope, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to be born at such a time, bringing Yuan Shao one failure after another, which led to today's situation.
Now Gao Ran is a major general in the Jizhou Army, and he is also a well-known figure in the Jizhou Army, after taking refuge in Lu Bu, Gao Ran feels different from the breath of the Jizhou Army in the army, through the system in the army, he can see that once this system is really implemented, it will have a great impact on ordinary soldiers, as Gao Ran expected, even if it is a soldier who has joined the army for a short time, he is extremely hard working in training.
