Under Liyang City, Yuan Shao looked at Huangfu Song at the head of the city, and gritted his teeth in anger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Guo Tu didn't smile harshly, arched his hands, and stood tightly behind Yuan Shao. Tian Feng stood in the distance, leaning on a big car, looking up at the sky, his face expressionless.

Yuan Shao was very angry, and Tian Feng planned a plan for him, using the opportunity of trapping Xiao Tianzi to force Liu Xiu to come to the rescue if he was not well prepared, so that he could have a decisive battle at the location they chose. With Yuan Kui's support, Yuan Shao dug a big trap at the cost of ceding the important town of Liyang, and divided Yuan Kui's army into two parts to induce Cao Cao to divide his troops, digging a big trap and waiting for Xiao Tianzi and Liu Xiu to be caught. But then the situation was very unexpected, Xiao Tianzi stayed in the revolving door for a few months, and did nothing, which made Yuan Shao's overall plan fall through.

Not only that, Liyang was lost, and now if he wants to take it back, it will be extremely difficult. Although Huangfu Song only had more than 10,000 people, he guarded Liyang like an iron bucket, and he didn't even give Yuan Shao a chance. Yuan Shao just observed the formation at the head of the city, and he didn't even have the ** to attack the city.

He had been in Liyang for a long time and knew about the garrison of Liyang City. He has cooperated with Huang Fu Song, and he has also fought with him, knowing that Huang Fu Song is a famous general who can attack and defend, and if he wants to recapture Liyang from him, it is a dream at all.

But if he doesn't recapture Liyang, how can he enter Yanzhou? Yuan Kui trapped and defended Runan, in order to consume the vigor of the imperial court's counterinsurgency army, so as to create an opportunity for Yuan Shao to destroy the withering and decay and fight a quick victory. Now the four county towns around Pingyu have been conquered one after another, and Liu Xiu has obtained military power. was commanding the army to besiege Pingyu City, but Yuan Shao was blocked in front of Liyang and couldn't move. Although Yuan Shao had confidence in Pingyucheng, he also knew Liu Xiu's methods. If it drags on for a day, there will be more variables, which makes him not anxious.

He was very annoyed by Tian Feng's plan, if he didn't listen to Tian Feng's words. How could he give up the important strategic point of Liyang, and how could he look at the city and sigh now?

Yuan Shao's breath was heavy, and he sighed. Guo Tu stood behind Yuan Shao, heard it clearly, and his heart was bubbling with beauty. When Yuan Shao listened to Tian Feng's strategy, Guo Tu was very opposed, not for anything else, just because it was Tian Feng's strategy. However, many people supported Tian Feng at that time. In particular, the two people who were frustrated and judged, including Han Fu and Xun Chen in Yingchuan, also supported Tian Feng, Guo Tu was weak and could not resist, so he could only swallow his anger. Now it's okay, Tian Feng miscalculated and forced Yuan Shao into a desperate situation. Guo Tu suddenly became the wisest strategist in Yuan Shao's eyes, and this heart was naturally too beautiful.

It's still the drama that is right, only the person who laughs last can laugh the happiest. As soon as he thought of Xi Zhicai, Guo Tu was proud. When this humble scholar came to Yecheng. Almost no one took him seriously, only he Guo Tu reluctantly received him twice because of the face of his fellow villagers, but he didn't expect these two politeness to bring him unimaginable benefits, and Xi Zhicai helped him get a lot of news that could not be obtained through normal channels, especially about Liu Xiu. Even if Xi Zhicai later went to Luoyang because he could not develop under Yuan Shao, he could still receive messages from Xi Zhicai from time to time. Because of the genius of Xi Zhicai, Guo Tu is in charge of confidential information under Yuan Shao, no matter how strong Tian Feng and his few Jizhou people are, they can't hide his brilliance.

When Guo Tu told Xi Zhicai about Tian Feng's clever plan with some frustration, Xi Zhicai smiled contemptuously and told Guo Tu, Brother Gongze, don't worry, Tian Feng's plan will definitely not succeed, you wait to see his jokes. Now, as Xi Zhicai said, Guo Tu saw Tian Feng's joke as scheduled, and it was a big joke. Thinking of this, Guo Tu turned sideways, looked at Tian Feng, who was leaning on the cart in a daze, and smiled silently.

"Gongzhi, what is your plan?" As if hearing Guo Tu's laughter, Yuan Shao turned his head a little unhappily and asked softly.

Guo Tu hurriedly bowed humbly and replied, "Lord, I don't have any clever plans. However, I think Liu Xiu's method may be a reference or two. ”

"Liu Xiu's method?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows lightly and pondered for a moment: "You mean, let go of Liyang and go directly to Yanzhou without asking?" ”

"The lord is wise."

Yuan Shao did not speak. The reason why his time is so tight is that, on the one hand, it is because Huangfu Song guards Liyang strictly, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with Liu Xiu's quick arrival. At first, I thought that Liu Xiu would start from Lujiang, one city by one, step by step, and finally kill to Runan, even if it is the most conservative estimate, it will take three months, Hefei and Lu'an, the two big cities are not easy to capture, three months, is already to fully attach importance to the combat power of Liu Xiu's department. The beginning of the battle was as they expected, Gan Ning and Fu Xie made no progress for two months, and the pace of the march was even slower than they expected. But later, Liu Xiu came to the battlefield in person, unexpectedly bypassed the two big cities of Hefei and Lu'an, and directly rushed into Runan County, putting the two big cities of Hefei and Lu'an behind him.

"Is that okay?" Yuan Shao hesitated a little, after all, it was not a simple matter to put Li Yang behind him, it was a sword that could fall at any time, and his grain channel would always be under the threat of Huangfu Song.

"The minister doesn't know, the minister just thinks that if Liu Xiu can do this, we should be able to do it too."

Yuan Shao frowned, turned his hand to look at Tian Feng, sighed softly, and shouted, "Yuan Hao!" ”

Tian Feng didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't hear it clearly for a while, Yuan Shao snorted unhappily, and the guards next to him hurriedly walked to Tian Feng's side, Tian Feng came back to his senses and hurriedly walked to Yuan Shao's side. Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice: "What is Yuan Hao thinking? ”

Tian Feng said lightly: "The minister is thinking about how to solve the dilemma in front of him. ”

"Is there a good way?"

"Not yet." Tian Feng said with some shame.

"Since I haven't yet, someone just told me a way, how about you help me refer to it in detail?"

"Whoa." Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shao in surprise, and then lowered his gaze again, he knew that Yuan Shao didn't like people to look at him directly, he didn't care before, and of course he didn't care now, but he knew that Yuan Shao had been under a lot of pressure in the past two days. He didn't want to make Yuan Shao angry needlessly.

Yuan Shao said Guo Tu's suggestion just now, and before he finished speaking, Tian Feng raised his head in dismay. looked at Yuan Shao in a daze. Yuan Shao saw that his eyes were frightened, and knew that he didn't approve, so he asked a little curtly: "Yuan Hao thinks...... Inappropriate? ”

"My lord. It's not just inappropriate, it's ridiculous. As soon as Tian Feng spoke, he saw Yuan Shao's face change, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing again. He turned his head and glared at Guo Tu angrily and anxiously, knowing that this idea must have come from Guo Tu, and there was no one else by Yuan Shao's side just now. However, look at Yuan Shao's expression. Tian Feng felt that it might be Yuan Shao's own idea, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so much. But the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back, so he could only stubbornly say: "My lord, this is against the way of using soldiers, and it is not feasible at all." ”

Guo Tu smiled calmly: "Yuan Hao, the reason why Liu Xiu was able to break into Runan so quickly. We are so embarrassed, but this is exactly how we use it. He paused, and just as Tian Feng was about to speak, he added: "Do you think that the lord is not as good as Liu Xiu, and our 100,000 army is not as good as Liu Xiu's 40,000 or 50,000?" ”

Tian Feng was robbed of the conversation by him. Choked for a moment, couldn't help but be angry, and didn't care about him: "Yes, Liu Xiu did use this method, but the lord, this situation is different, you can't copy it, or wouldn't it become Zhao Kuo on paper?" ”

Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly, he closed his mouth tightly, turned around, and looked at the big river in the distance.

Tian Feng patted his forehead in frustration, knowing that he was provoked by Guo Tu and said the wrong thing again. He hurriedly turned to Yuan Shao's side, trying his best to make his voice sound more docile. "General, think about it, although Liu Xiu only has an army of 40,000 or 50,000, he has 20,000 iron cavalry, and does Hefei and Lu'an have cavalry? No. If they want to sneak attack Liu Xiu's grain road, they must consider how to guard against Liu Xiu's iron horse, otherwise the grain road will not be intercepted, and they may be attacked by Liu Xiu's iron horse. The guards of Hefei and Lu'an are all Chinese, and they don't have such courage and courage, so Liu Xiu dares to put Hefei and Lu'an behind him, and only needs to send a part of the cavalry to watch. I believe that if the lord was in Runan, he would not dare to do this. ”

Yuan Shao nodded slowly, and then he was a little more relieved. He also knew who the guards of Hefei and Lu'an were, and they were far inferior to Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song and his two generals, Dong Zhuo and Yin Duan, are all veterans of the battlefield who have fought against the Huns and Xianbei people for many years, and their courage and insight are far from comparable to those people.

Guo Tu said with a smile: "Liu Xiu has 20,000 iron horses, and ours also has more than 20,000 Wuhuan horses. The Wuhuan Tu Cavalry is a famous horse in the world, no worse than Liu Xiu's 20,000 iron cavalry. ”

Tian Feng frowned, turned his face sideways, and said angrily: "Do you think those Wuhuan people can be compared to Liu Xiu's iron horse?" ”

"Why can't it be compared?"

Tian Feng was furious by Guo Tu's tone, and he said sharply: "Guo Junmou, don't you know that Liu Xiu started with cavalry, and he doesn't care about guarding and riding, even those ordinary cavalrymen are also wearing iron armor and holding iron halberds, but what about our cavalry?" Although there are slightly more troops, how many iron armors are there, and how many can hold halberds and spears and other long soldiers to fight? Moreover, whether it is Xiliang people or Bingzhou people, they are all Han people, and entering Yuzhou to fight will not cause panic among the people. Most of our cavalry are bearded Hu people, and when they enter Yanzhou, if there is no control from the lord, won't they become chaotic soldiers? What will the people think of us? ”

Tian Feng compared the difference between the Wuhuan people under Yuan Shao, the Xianbei people, and the Liang Tieqi under Liu Xiu in one breath, and strongly proved that the two were not the same, so Guo Tu was speechless and could only sneer. Yuan Shao was also a little worried, but he was very depressed by Tian Feng's attitude, and felt that Tian Feng seemed to be talking about Guo Tu, but he was actually accusing him, and he was annoyed, but he couldn't say it, so he had to keep silent.

Tian Feng said spittle, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He also vaguely knew about Guo Tu's contact with Xi Zhicai, and always felt that this self-defeating had a lot to do with Xi Zhicai. Who said that Ruying people must support Yuan Shao? Xun Chen's brother Xun You was reused under Liu Xiu, and he was in Guanzhong, why couldn't Xi Zhicai be bought by Liu Xiu?

"Okay, I got it. Thank you Yuan Hao for reminding me. Yuan Shao waved his hand, interrupting Tian Feng's offensive against Guo Tu. Tian Feng was sullen, sighed, and walked away. Looking at his background, Guo Tu dismissed: "Grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." Since the last mistake, Tian Yuanhao only has his temper left. ”

Yuan Shao frowned, and was about to reprimand Guo Tu for two sentences, when a scout with a full body of ** walked over quickly, walked straight to Guo Tu, and took out a bamboo pipe from his arms. Guo Tu didn't care about Xi Luo Tianfeng, took the bamboo pipe, and after checking it, he opened the sealed wax pill, took out the information in it and glanced at it, he was immediately overjoyed, turned around and walked in front of Yuan Shao, his voice trembled: "Lord, the opportunity has come." ”

Yuan Shao had seen the clue long before he spoke, but because of his identity, he couldn't be too impatient, and now when he heard Guo Tu's words, he couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, and said urgently: "Say it quickly, what chance?" ”

"Liu Xiu was too domineering, and he actually wanted to embezzle Cao Cao's men and horses, but the two fell out."

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, snatched the information, quickly swept his eyes, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Providence, providence." In the end, it's a poor kid, hahaha, God help me. ”

Guo Tu smiled and accompanied him, he knew that he didn't need to say anything, Yuan Shao said everything himself.

Tian Feng, who had just walked not far away, heard Yuan Shao's laughter, turned his head in surprise, and when he saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he couldn't care about being rude, and hurriedly walked over. Yuan Shao was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Tian Feng's attitude, and handed him the information in his hand. Tian Feng glanced at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and applauded.

Yuan Shao immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter, and after everyone sat down, Yuan Shao said with a smile: "There is a great opportunity in front of us, please come and discuss it together." Rules, this news is from you, so it's up to you to tell everyone. ”

Guo Tu stood up with a smile, he knew the meaning behind Yuan Shao's words, it was a great achievement. He glanced at Tian Feng, who was contemplative, proudly coughed, and arched his hand to Yuan Shao on the seat, and then to the sky: "Everyone, great joy, Liu Xiu and Cao Cao have lost harmony." He wanted to annex Cao Cao's military power, accusing Cao Cao of preserving his strength and failing to attack the city, and Cao Cao led his army back to Yanzhou in a fit of rage to recuperate. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became lively. Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, and only the army led by Liu Xiu and the Son of Heaven was left in Pingyu, with a total number of less than 60,000, plus the need to guard against other cities, the army besieging Pingyu should only be about 50,000 people. And there are 30,000 people in Pingyu City, with this comparison of troops, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to capture Pingyu. He can't attack Pingyu, so Yuan Shao not only has time, but also has a chance, no wonder Yuan Shao, who has been looking bad for the past few days, is smiling.

"My lord, it is indeed a great joy."

"My lord, the internal discord among the enemy army is a great opportunity for us to break through."

The strategists said babblingly, smiling one by one. Yuan Shao was happy in his heart, but he did not lose his temper, he waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and listened to Guo Tu's detailed story. Guo Tu put one hand behind his back and stroked his beard with the other, enjoying the envious eyes of others, he glanced at Tian Feng intentionally or unintentionally, and a reserved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
