Yuan Shao fell ill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info/ It was originally a fake illness, but he returned defeated, and the 80,000 army was wiped out, Yuan Shao felt that he had no face to see people, so he closed the door to thank the guests under the pretext of illness, and handed over all affairs to Guo Tu and others to deal with, and he only made decisions behind the scenes. But when he heard the news that the trial was killed, Chun Yuqiong was killed in battle, and Tian Feng, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou surrendered, he was so angry that he beat the bed and shouted, vomited blood, and was really sick.

Fortunately, the epidemic dragged Liu Xiu's footsteps, and Liu Xiu, who won a big victory, couldn't spare the strength to attack Jizhou, although Yuan Shao was sick, it didn't affect the overall situation much. The most favored Yuan Shang accompanied Yuan Shao and soothed Yuan Shao's sad heart.

When Yuan Shaojing was a little better, he often looked at the map in a daze. The thick thread representing the Yellow River was like a rope, wrapping around his neck tighter and tighter. Knowing that Gan Ning led the sailor up the river and almost cut off his way back, Yuan Shao felt a burst of cool air behind him. He only now understands why Liu Xiu has not been in such a hurry to fight, he can wait, he can wait, he can delay, it turns out that he has been waiting for Gan Ning to be in place. He also thought that Liu Xiu was not strong enough, and he was worried that the casualties would be too large, so he was unwilling to fight a decisive battle easily.

Originally, he was not brave, but reckless, and Liu Xiu was not cowardly, but far-sighted. His vigorous thousand-mile attack did not achieve any results, but was easily defused by Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu's prestige was achieved. He always thought that he could strategize and command Ruoding, but now he can only run wolf-lunging, and it is not him who commands Ruoding, it is Liu Xiu.

This result made Yuan Shao very frustrated. He often dreamed that he was stopped by Gan Ning on the south bank of the Yellow River, with the smiling faces of Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo behind him. In front of the surging Yellow River, the pontoon bridge was like a life-saving straw, broken under the impact of the naval warship. Just like his silky destiny.

"Alas—" Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, hugged the quilt, and closed his eyes tiredly. His temples were pounding. Like a war drum, even the green tendons on his forehead pulsated. Although the eyes were closed, countless flashes of light were flying in front of them, and the ears were filled with chaotic shouts, screams, swords and halberds, and the neighing of war horses, all night long.

"Father. Father ......" Yuan Shang called softly.

Yuan Shao shook his head impatiently: "Don't bother me, let me rest." ”

"Father, Captain Guo is here."

"Guo Tu?" Yuan Shao gasped, tried to open his eyes, looked at the blue and black roof, and muttered, "Let him in." ”

Yuan Shang answered, turned around and went out. After a short time, Guo Tu strode in. He leaned over to look at Yuan Shao's face, and squeezed out a look of joy: "Lord, are you feeling better today?" ”

Yuan Shao knew that Guo Tu was comforting himself, and he had his own body. These days, my health is getting worse and worse, and there is no sign of any improvement at all. However, Guo Tu and they need such good news to appease people's hearts, so he can only cooperate.

"What's ...... Affair? Yuan Shao tried hard to support his heavy eyelids and asked weakly.

"Lord, now the people of Yecheng are uneasy, whether to fight or defend, whether to advance or retreat, all need to be decided by the lord." Guo Tu knelt down lightly in front of the sickbed, trying not to make a little noise. During Yuan Shao's illness, he had been tortured by auditory hallucinations, and he could no longer hear a single abnormal sound.

Yuan Shao was like a puppet, and his face was expressionless and silent for a while: "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"My lord, although our army has suffered some setbacks in this war, the will of heaven has not abandoned the lord. The lord thinks about it, if Gan Ning came half a month in the morning, what would be the situation now? Just like the Han Gaozu was defeated several times, but he was able to defeat again and again, and finally settled the world, as long as the lord can win people's hearts, things may not be impossible. ”

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth twitched, and he smiled silently. Seeing this, Guo Tu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "But although the outcome is decided, some things have to be reflected on in order to learn a lesson. The so-called lessons of the former, the division of the latter, there are many points to be evaluated in this war, if we do not summarize in time, I am afraid that we will repeat the mistakes of the past in the future, and how can we turn defeat into victory? ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and sat up forcibly: "Then what lessons have you summed up?" ”

"In this war, we lost by chance, and Liu Xiusheng also lost by chance." Guo Tu moved forward, his voice lowered. Yuan Shao looked at him puzzled, but he didn't move: "Lord, do you think, if it weren't for Xu You's incompetence and defeat to Xu Rong's 3,000 men with an army of 30,000, what would be the current situation?" ”

At the mention of Xu You's battle, Yuan Shao couldn't help but snort, it was Xu You's unexpected defeat that drove him to a dead end. If Xu Yu is undefeated, he should have relieved the siege of Pingyu by now and joined forces with Yuan Kui, at least he could drive Liu Xiu out of Yanzhou. If that's the case, how could he be lying in a hospital bed, dying? Thinking of this, Yuan Shao nodded: "This is indeed an accident. ”

"Besides, if it weren't for the rainstorm, would Cao Cāo be able to stop the Lord's pace?"

Yuan Shao snorted: "Just rely on him to deserve it?" ”

"That's exactly what the lord said. These two accidents, as long as there is one, can turn the battlefield, and we just encounter two in succession, how can we not be defeated? ”

"So, is it providence?" Yuan Shao interrupted Guo Tu's words unhappily.

"Yes and no." Guo Tu was confident and not nervous. "Yes, it's because it's all providence, otherwise it wouldn't have been so coincidental. Saying no, it is God testing the lord, not to destroy the lord, otherwise, how can the lord return to Yecheng safely? As long as you stay by the water for another half a day, and wait for the heavy rain to stop, the lord will be able to get out even if he has wings on his body. ”

Yuan Shao was a little confused, and didn't speak for a long time.

"My lord, God is refining my lord's mind." Guo Tu persuaded bitterly. These words were summed up after he had been thinking about them for a long time. Yuan Shao was discouraged by this defeat and no longer had a trace of fighting spirit. The momentary frustration is understandable, but if he continues like this, then Jizhou will not be able to keep it in the end, and these people who are attached to Yuan Shao will not have a second way out except for Xin Bi and their surrender to Liu Xiu. However, surrender is also different, surrender and restraint when there is a battle force are completely two different concepts, just look at the different results of Xinbi and Juan Pei and others.

Even if they want to surrender, they must make Liu Xiu feel that this bone is very hard, and they will surrender when there is a danger of breaking their teeth, they don't want to die like a match, and the family will be migrated to a wild place, surviving in the deep mountains and old forests.

To do this, it is necessary to re-energize Yuan Shao's fighting spirit and make him feel that there is still hope. Atributing victory and defeat to providence rather than manpower was the only way to dispel Yuan Shao's fear of Liu Xiu. Heaven doesn't say it to itself, someone speaks for it, and he, Guo Tu, is the person who speaks for God.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, but still shook his head: "But...... Liu Xiu is powerful, how can we stop him with just the land of Jizhou? ”

"Have you forgotten, Liu Xiu came to Luoyang alone, and there was no place to stand, so he could only open a noodle restaurant to make a living. His strength today did not come out of thin air, but was slowly accumulated. If he can do it, the lord will definitely be able to do it. ”

"How could I ......"

"Yes!" Guo Tu didn't give Yuan Shao any chance to make excuses, "Liu Xiu can get to where he is today step by step because he has the trust of the Son of Heaven." And today, the situation between him and the lord is reversed, he has become a thorn in the side of the Son of Heaven, and he can no longer get the favor like Emperor Xiaoling. He, like the Yuan family at the beginning, has no way out. ”

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.

"Therefore, as long as the lord persists, there is hope for turning defeat into victory." Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao's god had changed, and knew that he was moved. He leaned in front of Yuan Shao and said in a low voice: "Lord, although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu." At the end of Qin, there was a great chaos, and the Chu people followed one after another, and Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang and others fought successively, and in the end, didn't they still die Qin? The battle between Chu and Han lasted for five years, and Han Gaozu was on the verge of despair several times, and finally destroyed the invincible Xiang Yu and set the world? The road to the founding of the country has never been smooth sailing, it is too smooth, but it will fail out of control. Xiang Yu broke the Qin army and commanded the world, but once he killed the righteous emperor and established himself, the world abandoned him. Now Liu Xiu is the same, he started from the favor of the Son of Heaven, who knows that he will not be defeated by the abandonment of the Son of Heaven? ”

Yuan Shao finally raised his head, "Then you say, what should we do?" ”

Guo Tu almost cried with joy, he lowered his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, stabilized his mood, and then raised his head again: "Han Gaozu won the world, and Xiao He Gong was the first in guarding the pass." If the lord wants to persevere, Youzhou is the lord's guanzhong. Lord, there is a big river in the south of Jizhou, Taihang in the west, and the sea in the east, and only the north can retreat. 20,000 Hu cavalry died at the hands of Liu Xiu, and his grudge with the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people has been settled. Why didn't the lord take this opportunity to form an alliance with the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to resist Liu Xiu? ”

Yuan Shao nodded slowly.

Guo Tu said: "Judging from the situation of this battle, as soon as our army entered Yanzhou, Cao Cāo sent troops to Dongjun, which was intended to cut off the pontoon bridge and cut off my way back. If it weren't for Tian Feng's unexpected capture of Puyang, the victory would have been self-evident. Later, before Liu Xiu started the war, he ordered the Ganning Sailor to enter the Yellow River, and the intention was still to cut off my way back first, but the sky did not bless, and his tricks failed one after another. According to the minister's opinion, before he attacked Jizhou, he would definitely cut off the retreat of the lord first, and then surround him on all sides. Lord, now he is trapped by the epidemic in Yanzhou, but we can't afford to lose this great opportunity. A comprehensive grasp of Jizhou is the top priority. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes tightened, and he thought for a moment: "Then who is more appropriate to go to Youzhou?" ”

"The lord is in poor health, and it is not appropriate to be in Yecheng at this time. The alliance with the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people is related to the overall situation, and it is very capable of being done by ordinary people, and it needs to be won by the lord himself. According to the minister's opinion, the lord might as well hand over Yecheng to the eldest son and go to Youzhou by himself. In the future, the rear will be stable, the lord's health will be good, and it will not be too late to compete with Liu Xiu again. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Guo Tu meant. Although Jizhou is still in hand, there is no Youzhou, and Jizhou can't hold it at all. This is handed over to Yuan Tan, and he goes to Youzhou by himself, if Jizhou is lost, it is Yuan Tan's responsibility, and he is still safe. If Jizhou is still lucky, he can also make a comeback.

is a high-sounding escape plan, and only Guo Tu, who knows his mind well, can come up with such a comprehensive plan...... Start the new year, ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a referral ticket! rq
