Chapter 245: The Villain
For Guo Tu, who likes to tell right and wrong, no one in Yuan Jun likes him. However, Yuan Shao was very convinced of him, and at the same time believed his words. The reason for this is Guo Tu's sycophancy, which makes Yuan Shao very happy.
So when Yuan Shao heard Guo Tu's words, he naturally didn't like it. At this critical moment, the strategists under his command actually spoke for each other, which ......
Although Du Chen didn't like Guo Tu very much, he knew that he should be cautious at this time. After all, Yuan Shao already had doubts in his heart, and if he went to help Fu Zhu say anything, then Yuan Shao would definitely be even more suspicious.
Although Yuan Shao was Cao Jun's enemy, and Fu Zhu was also an important strategist under Yuan Shao, Du Chen couldn't bear to be implicated by Fu Zhu because of a villain. After all, Fu Zhu is a good elder, and being implicated because of a villain is not what Du Chen wants to see.
Du Chen is not upset by frustration, and naturally there are people who are upset by frustration. There are many people who are dissatisfied with Guo Tu, and there are many people who refute what he has done. Just like now, Tian Feng stepped forward and said: "Feng doesn't agree with the words of the public rule, we all know that the public and the people are the people, and Feng doesn't believe that the public will betray the lord." Tian Feng said in a deep voice, and his statement was also supported by Feng Ji and others. Everyone has been friends for a long time, and naturally they all know who is frustrated.
There is definitely a possibility that there will be a traitor under Yuan Shao's command, but there will definitely be no frustration among them. After all, everyone knows that Fu Zhu is a person, so they will definitely not believe that Fu Zhu will betray Yuan Shao.
Moreover, Fu Zhu was quite valued under Yuan Shao, and when he went to Cao Jun, would he be so valued by Cao Cao.
There are not a few capable ministers and righteous people in the Cao army, not to mention Du Chen, Xun Yu and Xun Yu alone have earth-shattering talents. Under the aura of so many people, the status of the frustrated person may not be comparable to that of Yuan Jun.
And. At this time, Yuan Jun was like a rainbow and won Youzhou, then Yuan Shao was the first prince in the world, and when the time came to wave the army south, Yuan Shao would have the opportunity to win the Ninety-Five Supreme. And Fu Zhu is an old minister by Yuan Shao's side, if Yuan Shao can be ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. He was definitely the hero of the founding of the country.
Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's first opponent in the south was Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao is indeed strong, in terms of overall strength, Yuan Jun is still stronger than Cao Jun. Although Cao's army was strong in combat, Yuan's army was huge.
After taking Youzhou, Yuan Shao alone won the land of four states. The territory under his command is definitely twice that of Cao Cao, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the Cao army to resist the Yuan army's troops, so the Cao army will definitely not be the opponent of the Yuan army.
Under such a big premise. Feng Ji and the others couldn't think of any reason to betray Yuan Shao.
However, Tian Feng's words were exchanged for Guo Tu's sneer, he looked at Tian Feng coldly, and then said: "Hmph, that's not necessarily, I think back then, my lord entered Jizhou, and he didn't betray Han Fu and defected to my lord." Why can't he defect to Cao Cao today? and rebelled against my lord. ”
Hearing Guo Tu's words, a cold light appeared in his frustrated eyes. And Tian Feng and others are also not good-looking. These are other people's scars, and Guo Tu is so viciously exposing people's scars, this is definitely a very vicious behavior, and everyone is ashamed of it.
"The prince also said that after my lord took Jizhou, the lord and this man defected to the lord. Now that the lord has defeated Gongsun Zhan, he is in the limelight, and you are now cursing the lord's territory to be acquired by Cao Jun sooner or later? Tian Feng said coldly.
And Tian Feng's sentence was very fatal, and after listening to Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's eyes were a lot sharper. Obviously, he cared a lot about Tian Feng's words. Others are fine, but if he curses that he can't beat Cao Jun, and the territory will be obtained by Cao Jun, then Yuan Shao's natural mood can be imagined.
"Hmph, Tian Yuanhao, you're just taking things out of context and speculating wildly." Seeing Yuan Shao's sharp eyes, Guo Tu hurriedly explained. Obviously, Yuan Shao's appearance had already scared Guo Tu.
"In this case, then you say that the duke and the betrayal of the lord are not also speculation and words taken out of context. Since you say that the lord betrayed the lord, then show evidence to prove it. Tian Feng found a hint of feeling at this time, and his tone became more and more tough.
And this time Guo Tu didn't know how to answer, after all, Tian Feng was right, he was just taking the opportunity to play. Where did he have evidence of frustration and betrayal, so hearing Tian Feng say this, Guo Tu's momentum finally weakened a little.
"But he did help Cao Jun and seek benefits for Cao Jun." Guo Tu said coldly, Guo Tu was very angry at Tian Feng's rebuttal.
Hearing Guo Tu's words, Du Chen knew that he could finally speak. It was an internal matter of Yuan Jun just now, and Du Chen was not good at interjecting lightly, but at this moment, Du Chen could speak.
"In that case, then Chen wants to ask you, is it possible that my Cao army soldiers are driven by your Yuan army? My Cao army soldiers help you Yuan Jun fight, and your Yuan army doesn't want to say something? Du Chen looked at this Guo Tu coldly and asked.
Now Cao Jun is a guest of honor, and Du Chen is a figure who cannot be offended, so Guo Tu naturally didn't dare to say anything, he could only follow Du Chen's meaning and say: "What did Lord Taiwei say, Cao Jun went out for my Yuan army, and we naturally won't treat your army badly." ”
Du Chen smiled coldly, and then asked, "Since that's the case, isn't that Gong Ze also helping me Cao Jun speak, isn't it?" ”
Guo Tu was slightly stunned, and then he came back to his senses. However, Guo Tu was quite forbearing, he smiled, and then didn't say anything, although he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Du Chen, after all, Du Chen was not from Yuan Junzhong, and he had no right to point fingers at him.
"That's it!" After being silent for a long time, Yuan Shao finally spoke. At this point he had to speak, because the current form did not allow him not to speak.
Just now, Du Chen suppressed many strategists under his command, and now there is another civil strife among the strategists under his command, which makes Yuan Shao's face somewhat unbearable. He must step in to put an end to this.
When everyone heard Yuan Shao's words, they returned to their seats one after another. And after there was no sound below, Yuan Shao finally spoke: "What Si Lang said is good, Cao Jun is not my Yuan Jun, and he can't let me wait for the messenger." ”
"But Si Lang has already asked for 5,000 war horses from our army, if Si Lang has such a request, it will be really difficult for our army to pay, after all, war horses are precious resources, our army is no more than 10,000 war horses, if all of them are given to Si Lang, this is obviously a bit unrealistic." Yuan Shao's words were very sincere, and Du Chen did not refute them.
He already knew that his request would not be approved by Yuan Jun and the others, and the reason why he said this was just to increase his value. He looked at Yuan Shao, and then said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, it was also realistic, and Chen's words were indeed a bit abrupt. ”
"Since it was difficult to pay for the war horse at the beginning, it was also possible to pay for the grain and grass money that could be paid at the beginning, after all, the soldiers of the Cao army died, and we need a pension." Du Chen said faintly.
In fact, this was Du Chen's ultimate goal, he had already known that Yuan Jun would no longer be able to provide military horses to Cao Jun, so he could only ask for it. However, grain and grass are also scarce for Cao Jun, so he also attaches great importance to grain and grass Duchen.
Hearing Du Chen's words, Yuan Shao's face finally changed. Grain and grass were not scarce for Yuan Jun, on the contrary, Yuan Jun's grain and grass reserves were very sufficient.
However, although Yuan's army had sufficient reserves of grain and grass, grain and grass were combat resources, and grain and grass were absolutely indispensable resources. Therefore, Yuan Shao did not dare to agree to Du Chen lightly.
Besides, money is scarcer than military horses. War is about money, and Cao Jun will become his enemy sooner or later, sending money to Cao Jun is not a change of direction to help Cao Jun improve his strength to deal with himself, such a stupid thing, Yuan Shao will never do it.
But apart from these things, Yuan Shao really couldn't think of giving anything to Cao Jun, so at this time Yuan Shao fell into deep thought.
Yuan Shao didn't speak, and Du Chen couldn't say anything. You can't disturb Yuan Shao at this time, after all, Yuan Shao is the one who speaks, as long as he nods and agrees, others can't say anything. Now we need to give Yuan Shao time to think, after all, this is not something that can be decided lightly.
Yuan Shao was silent, and the strategists under Yuan Jun's command naturally did not want to disturb Yuan Shao at this time. But from the expressions of Frustrated Confession, Tian Feng and the others, it can be seen that they are very opposed to Du Chen's idea in their hearts, and they don't want Yuan Shao to agree to Du Chen's request in their hearts.
"Our army has enough food and grass, enough for a large army to fight for a few years, so it is not too much of a problem to give some to Cao Jun." In the silence, Guo Tu's voice sounded again.
Although the owner of the voice made Du Chen feel displeased, what this person said made Du Chen feel extremely happy. Cao's army lacked food and grass, and if he could obtain a large amount of grain and grass from Yuan's army, it would be enough to pay for the decisive battle with Yuan's army in the future.
Grain and grass have always been Cao Jun's shortcomings, because Yanzhou and Yuzhou are not grain and grass production areas, and Cao Jun often fights, so it is normal for grain and grass to be scarce.
You must know that the Cao army in the battle of Guandu was short of food and grass, if it wasn't for Xu You's rebellion and defection to the Cao army, it would be the Cao army that failed. Because when Xu You defected to Cao Jun, Cao Jun had already reached the time when he ran out of ammunition and food, and if Xu You arrived a few days late, Cao Jun would really run out of food.
The result of the lack of food was the defeat of Cao's army, and it collapsed. Even if Cao Cao Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, even if Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are resourceful, it will be difficult for Cao Jun to resist Yuan's troops at that time. After all, the army of Yuan was twice as large as the army of Cao, and Cao Cao gathered his elite in the battle of Guandu, if the army of Cao failed at that time, then it would be difficult to resist the army of Yuan.
Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Du Chen's request. Obviously, the temptation of Youzhou is much greater than the so-called grain and grass, so in the end Yuan Shao still chose grain and grass. (To be continued......)
