Xu Shu's battle report was very brief, except for telling Gao Ye that they had taken Gaodu according to the plan, there was only a casualty figure and a report on the results. As for how Xu Shu used the trick and how heroic Lu Bu was, he didn't mention anything. On the contrary, it is the next step of the march, and Xu Shu writes carefully.

The good news was still galloping on the road, but Lu Bu's army had no intention of stopping. Although Guo Yuan was defeated in Gaodu, the elite still existed, and now he has retreated to the Shangdang to defend it. Both Xu Shu and Lu Bu have already seen Guo Yuan's intentions, which are preparing to block the attack step by step to deal with Lu Bu's menacing.

However, Lu Bu did not feel any embarrassment about this, and he was not at all worried that under this repeated resistance, his army would be exhausted, and he was not at all worried about whether the only 10,000 troops under his command would be able to recover the entire territory of the state. After all, he was born in a state, quite prestigious, and has been in the world for so many years, and he is famous. Guo Yuan was just a partial general under Ding Yuan's account back then, and in terms of seniority and strength, Lu Bu didn't take him seriously at all. What's more, with Xu Shu by his side this time, Lu Bu felt that it was easy to sweep away and merge the state.

After all, in the first battle of Gaodu, according to Lu Bu's speculation, it was impossible to take this Xiongcheng without paying the price of at least 2,000 people. After all, this was the capital of the princely kingdom before, and the city was already tall. Since Guandu, this is the first front of Yuan's army to resist the Hanoi army, and it has been repaired several times, and the city defense is strong. In the face of such a city, if the guards are effective and the soldiers use their lives, these 10,000 people are afraid that they will be sent here. Even if the defenders were incompetent, Lu Bu felt that he would have to pay at least nearly a thousand people to occupy Gaodu.

But even Lu Bu didn't expect that Xu Shu's repeated designs would really play Guo Yuan between applause. After Xu Shu asked himself to understand Guo Yuan, he first let himself lead the troops and pretended to leave, and Hanoi City raised the Xu character battle flag, making the posture of Cao Jun changing generals in battle. Xu Shu showed weakness to the enemy, not only consolidated the city defense with great fanfare, but also wrote a letter to Guo Yuan, saying that he was new to the city and did not dare to offend, and everyone should maintain the status quo. When Guo Yuan saw Lu Bu leave and replaced him with an unknown Xu Shu as a general, he was already determined in his heart. received Xu Shu's letter of weakness again, and he didn't take Xu Shu seriously. Xu Shu made full use of Guo Yuan's pride and his namelessness, which allowed him to take advantage of the night to make a surprise attack, and cooperate with the inner and outer parts of the high capital city, and take the city in one fell swoop, completely opening the door to the state.

If Gao Ye knew Xu Shu's design, he would be surprised in his heart, after all, Xu Shu's plan to hide a knife in his smile was similar to Lu Xun's plan to seize Jingzhou. However, Lu Bu didn't have much thought, it was a great achievement to be able to take Gaodu, not to mention that his battle damage was so small, which also laid the foundation for seizing the entire state later. Moreover, the reason why Xu Shu's military newspaper wrote the battle losses and battle results together was to highlight this effect. After following Gao Ye for so many years, I have long been familiar with how to write military newspapers to raise morale and how to write them to reflect the merits of the soldiers.

It's just that compared to Lu Bu's praise of his strategy, Xu Shu's use of Gao Ye's strategy has long been admired. When he received Gao Ye's military order to recover the state with Lu Bu, Xu Shu was puzzled in his heart. After all, under the current battle situation, although Sun Quan has been completely pacified on the southern front, and the Jingzhou army on the western front has also withdrawn honestly, Ma Teng in Xiliang and Xianbei in the north should not be underestimated. The few troops that Gao Ye had were a little stretched. What's more, Cao Cao on the northern front is now winning and losing with Yuan Shao's army in the Yecheng area, and he can't stalemate. Once the battle situation on either side of the two sides falls, Hanoi's Lu Bu is the most powerful reinforcement. Under such circumstances, it is really a bit risky to let Lu Bu go to attack and merge the state.

But with Gao Ye's military order, there was also a handwritten letter from Gao Ye, and Xu Shu, who read the letter, was suddenly enlightened. Gao Ye's letter not only introduced the battle situation in front of Xu Shu in detail, but also told Xu Shu about Gao Ye's layout in Bingzhou. Ren Xu Shu is also a man of unparalleled wisdom, and he couldn't imagine that Gao Ye actually played the discord plan on the entire people of Bingzhou.

Since Gao Ye received the military report, saying that Budu Genqin led the Xianbei army, took advantage of the merger of states, and killed Ben Sili, this strategy has been lingering in Gao Ye's mind. Gao Ye pondered hard for a night, and early the next morning, he called Li Zhu and instructed him to rush to Bingzhou immediately, and began to incite the people of Bingzhou to rebel. After all, although Gao Ye has not been in the state over the years, the dark pile left behind when he left the state is still there, and there is also the inner line of the caravan that has been developing one after another over the years, and what is the situation in the state over the years, Gao Ye knows it clearly.

Since Ding Yuan's death, Lu Bu has crisscrossed the Central Plains, and Gao Ye also began to help Cao Cao fight for world domination in Yingchuan and Yanzhou. There are no more famous generals in Bingzhou, and all parts of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen suffer from the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes fighting grass valleys every year, and the people's grievances are already boiling. Countless villages were destroyed by foreign hands, countless people died under the scimitar, for the people of Bingzhou, who had enjoyed peace for nearly ten years under the guards of Lü Bu and Gao Ye, it was impossible not to be disappointed in Yuan Shao's rule.

Gao Gan has been working hard to fight against aliens and protect the people in the past few years, and he has some achievements. In addition, Yuan Shao supported Gao Gan's grain and grass from Jizhou, and Gao Gan also took good care of the people who were affected by the army. It was through these that Gao Gan quickly secured the position of the assassin of the state. But this time, the Xianbei army was directly driven in, although this was a strategic need, but for the people, this was tantamount to a great shame. The people will not care how the superior will arrange and how to play political games for victory. They are more concerned about whether their lives are stable, that they can completely eliminate the alien race, and that they can return a peaceful life.

Gao Gan has only been in Bingzhou for a few years, and he still has a comprehensive and profound understanding of the hatred of the people of Bingzhou for foreign races, otherwise Gao Gan will definitely not agree to let Du Gen lead troops to borrow from Bingzhou. Although this way can kill the subordinates faster, but this will bury great troubles. If Gao Ye was on Yuan Shao's side, Gao Ye would definitely suggest that he should concede Du Gen to lead the army from the place where Liangzhou Qiang lived and kill Si Li from the direction of Qi Huan. Although in terms of time, such a march will be slower, but it will not allow Gao Ye to take advantage of the void as it is now.

Perhaps in the eyes of the princes of this era, the common people were just farmers who produced food, but soldiers who fought on the battlefield, and they were just stepping stones to send them to the pinnacle of life. They don't know anything about the power of the people, or even about the power they have.

They don't know because of the limitations of history, but how can a person who comes from 1,800 years later not know? Gao Ye saw this, so he sent Li Zhu to Bingzhou. There are a total of nine counties under the jurisdiction of the state, and five counties have been in the battle against foreign races for a long time. Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Shuofang, Yanmen and Shangjun all suffered from the Xiongnu and Xianbei people fighting grass valleys, and the hatred in the hearts of these nomads can be imagined. Gao Ye used the anger of the people of Bingzhou for foreign races, and the resentment of Yuan Shao's forces for not being able to protect the territory and the people, as well as his reverence and yearning for Lu Bu, to completely destroy Gao Gan's rule in Bingzhou.

Moreover, today, the information network is not well developed, and the rumor that Li Zhu was walking in Shuofang to slaughter a villager in a certain place in Shangjun is almost impossible to verify. In the same way, Li Zhu spread Budugen in Shangjun and slaughtered a certain place in Wuyuan, and the people of Shangjun would also believe it. Gao Ye's discordant plan is that the people can't verify the truth of their remarks. Everyone knows that Bu Dugen borrowed the road to merge with the state this time, after all, this is something that Gao Gan settled down in advance. However, in this era, there is no television, there is no Internet, and the people are already hostile to this, and suddenly hearing that their compatriots have died at the hands of foreign races, the anger in their hearts will inevitably explode.

It was also at this time that Gao Yezhi ordered Lu Bu to take Xu Shu to march into Bingzhou together, Lu Bu has been in Bingzhou for many years, fighting on the battlefield, protecting the territory and the people, and is a god general revered by countless people in Bingzhou. Gao Gan couldn't protect the people well, and now he has lured wolves into the house, and now that Lu Bu has returned, it is not difficult to guess what the people will think in their hearts. As long as the people have the idea of letting Lu Bu regain control of the state, and someone comes to incite and fool him, even if Guo Yuan has three heads and six arms, there is no way to defend the state for Gao Gan.

Gao Ye's plan, to put it bluntly, is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the people of the state are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is rebelled, how can the ruler rule? Even Xu Shu understood the deep meaning of this salary after reading Gao Ye's letter. All the way to the march, there was almost no fighting all the way. Although Guo Yuan wanted to continue to resist Lu Bujun's footsteps in the Shangdang, his merger had become a mess. Since Lu Bu broke the high capital and entered the state under the instruction of Xu Shu, after the news spread in the state, the four counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dingxiang have all changed their banners. Even the die-hard officials of Yuan Shaojun were dismembered by the people who rioted under the instigation of the meticulous work. After all, the people of the state are fierce, especially in these four counties, in order to resist foreign races, every family has a knife, everyone practices martial arts, and it is like a bamboo when killing officials and rebelling. By the time Lu Bu, with the help of Xu Shu, forced Guo Yuan from Shangdang to Lu County, the tables of the four counties had already flown over the mountains and mountains to Lu Bu's tent. Even Shuofang and Shangjun had some cities and surrendered to Lü Bu.

Under this overwhelming situation, even Xu Shu had to sigh that the "power of the people" mentioned by Gao Ye was so powerful. Xu Shu even recorded Gao Ye's strategy and what he saw and heard along the way, and sent his feelings and opinions to Cao Ang who was far away in Yingdu. After all, now Xu Shu finally understood the last sentence in Gao Ye's letter: "A king who doesn't know, doesn't understand, and is not good at using the power of the people will eventually be swallowed up by the rolling tide of the people!" ”
