After a few days, Yuan Shu did not have any friction with Yuan Shao, not even a small range of temptation. Yuan Shao felt that Yuan Shu was afraid of himself, and in the end, at the suggestion of Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, he sent someone to the north to investigate the news of Gongsun Zhan.

On the third day when Yuan Shao sent people to the northern camp to investigate the news, Yan Liang of the northern camp had already sent news that Gongsun Zan had sent Su Dingfang as the general of the army and led an army of more than 100,000 to the south.

After Yuan Shao got the news, he was very angry, but because of the frustration beforehand, Tian Feng and others gave Yuan Shao a preventive shot, Yuan Shao was still a little mentally prepared, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the troops to go south to support and rushed back to the north, and at this moment he was in the camp and discussed countermeasures with all the strategists and generals under his hands.

Although Yuan Shao had some psychological preparations, he was still very angry and said: "Everyone, now that Gongsun Zhan, a villain, is taking advantage of the fact that I am competing with Yuan Shu here, he actually wants to take the opportunity to invade us, what good ideas do you have?" ”

Tian Feng said: "Lord, in the current form, it seems that it is the best policy for us to deal with Yuan Shufang first, there are General Yan Liang, General Wen Chou and others in the north, if the troops are not out, they will definitely be able to drag Gongsun Zhan, so the lord can let General Yan Liang and General Wen Chou hold on, and when we solve Yuan Shu, we will turn back to deal with Gongsun Zhan." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "In front of me, it can only be like this." However, do you have any good strategies to deal with Yuan Shu? If you just fight like this, I don't know when Yuan Shu will be completely defeated. ”

At this time, Yuan Shao's general Han Meng said: "Lord, I can send a battle letter to Yuan Shu and let him fight with us!" ”

Chun Yuqiong said: "Yuan Shu must have some connection with Gongsun Zhan, he must know that Gongsun Zhan's army is going north, I don't think he will necessarily agree to fight with us!" ”

Just when Yuan Shao and the generals under him were discussing, he got up and bowed, and said, "Lord, there is a plan to destroy Yuan Shu!" ”

Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed and asked, "What is the clever plan of the sir?" ”

Fu Zhu said: "My lord, at this moment, our troops in the north are roughly the same as Gongsun Zhan's army, and our army in the south is not much different from Yuan Shu's strength, but since we are ready to fight Yuan Shu first, then we should first dispatch troops in the north to concentrate superior forces and defeat Yuan Shu." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Sir's plan won my heart, I asked the reinforcements from the south to rush back, but I was hasty." ”

Fu Zhu said again: "Lord, this matter is okay, maybe it will make Yuan Shu misunderstand, and the defense against us is not so deep, now the lord can order them to rush back, but they must wait for more than ten days, and then let them prepare the outfit of Gongsun Zhan's army, and after changing into it, they will go south with great fanfare." At the same time, let's copy Gongsun Zhan's letter and tell Yuan Shu to join us. Yuan Shu has always been a head and a brainless, and he will inevitably be scheming, and the lord is sending a large army to divide into two ways, one way to ambush Yuan Shu and his many generals and strategists, and the other way to attack Yuan Shu's camp, so that Yuan Shu will be destroyed without effort! ”

Yuan Shao said happily: "Mr. is really my ovary!" It will be written by Mr., tell Wen Chou, let him personally lead the army south, tell him our plan, and let Yan Liang not be allowed to fight under any circumstances, no matter what the price is, I will hold my position! ”

He said, "Yes, I obey!" ”

At the same time, Yuan Shu's camp was holding a feast to celebrate Gongsun Zhan's southward journey, Yuan Shu was already fluttering, and said with a slightly red face: "This time, I will unite with Gongsun Zhan, and I will definitely be able to kill Yuan Shao, a big henchman!" ”

There are few wise men under Yuan Shu, most of them are some martial artists, but it is also sad, except for a Ji Ling, there are no famous generals who can really do it. And then Zhang Ji, who was under Dong Zhuo's hands before, took his nephew Zhang Xiu to Yuan Shu, although the two also felt that Yuan Shu felt a little too good, but in view of the fact that he had just defected to Yuan Shu and was not very valued, he didn't say anything.

Yuan Shao once again, under the advice of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, let many people pretend to be Yuan Shao's soldiers and retreat to the north, and it was very secretive, but it happened to be observant of Yuan Shu's scouts.

Moreover, in the past few days, Yuan Shao has deliberately avoided any friction with Yuan Shu, and in this way, Yuan Shu has already made up his mind that Yuan Shao decided to send troops to deal with Gongsun Zan in the north first, and in his case, he is mainly defensive. Yuan Shu is also happy to see it, after all, let Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fight to the death first, and Yuan Shu can naturally be the best to benefit from the fisherman.

However, although Yuan Shu thinks so, this is not necessarily the case, but at least Yuan Shu has a beautiful blueprint in his heart. After all, now there is finally hope to defeat this brother who has always had a better reputation than himself.

However, Yuan Shu always wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he also deliberately sent a small force to contact and fight against Yuan Shao. And Yuan Shao deliberately lost to Yuan Shu as early as Tian Feng and Frustration, although the loss was not big. But it is enough to deceive Yuan Shu.

One day, Yuan Shu was celebrating the defeat of Yuan Shao again in the barracks, and the entire Yuan Shu's barracks revealed a kind of extravagant temperament everywhere, it turned out that this time Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had a relatively large battle, Yuan Shao's generals did not all appear, just a Chun Yuqiong, leading some ordinary generals such as Jiao Touch, Gao Gan, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao, and the combat effectiveness was also very low, and they were quickly defeated.

Yuan Shu was very excited at the moment, holding his wine glass high and saying happily: "Hahaha! It seems that Yuan Shao'er is also in vain! It's so vulnerable! ”

The generals under Yuan Shu's command also raised their glasses and said, "The lord is very right! Yuan Shao'er has a false reputation and is vulnerable! ”

However, they seemed to have forgotten that they had been pressed and beaten by Yuan Shao's troops before, pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Although Ji Ling didn't like Yuan Shu to be complacent just like this, and held a celebration banquet, he didn't want to hurt his lord's confidence, so he had to stand on Yuan Shu's side for the reason of protecting Yuan Shu's safety, and he didn't drink.

Just when Yuan Shu and the others were celebrating, the herald came in and said, "Lord Qi, there is a letter from Gongsun Zan in the north. ”

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Okay, present it." ”

To be honest, Yuan Shu couldn't believe that Gongsun Chan would be able to defeat Yuan Shao's northern army in just over ten days, after all, according to his speculation, Yuan Shao had already concentrated his forces to fight Gongsun Chan in a decisive battle. If in just a few days, Gongsun Chan has already broken Yuan Shao, then he doesn't have to compete with Gongsun Chan for any Jizhou, and it would be good if he could keep his own three-acre land in Yuzhou.

However, if there is anything else, it is not worth Gongsun Chan to write to him, unless Gongsun Chan has been obstructed a lot in the north and wants to ask him to speed up the attack on Yuan Shao.

So, Yuan Shu opened Gongsun Zhanfang's letter with a nervous mind, only to see that it read:

"General Yuan Highway personally opened, General Su Dingfang under the command of General Sun Zan of Youzhou, was ordered to attack Yuan Shao Xiaoer on both sides with General Yuan Highway, I held opposite Yuan Shao's army in the north, and fought many times on par, and finally I found an opportunity to attack its grain transport troops, so that the grain and grass in the city were insufficient, and it was not able to come out. Although its army is uneasy, but the city is thick and thick, it cannot be attacked for a while, if it wants to cut off its grain and grass again, but it will be prepared, so it has to give up. A few days ago, I had a plan, I ordered part of the army to continue to besiege the city disguised as a large army, and I personally led the army, took a small road, and joined General Yuan Highway, hoping to attack from the north and south, in order to kill or even capture Yuan Shao, so that Jizhou can be broken, and unnecessary losses can be avoided. Now, I have laid an ambush in the Buried Wolf Valley, and when General Yuan Highway fights against Yuan Shaojun, he will feign defeat and retreat to the Buried Wolf Valley, and you and I will punish Yuan Shao's dog thieves together! ”

Yuan Shu finished reading Su Dingfang's letter, and said excitedly: "It seems that this is a double happiness today!" Defeated Yuan Shao, just three days later. ”

After speaking, Yuan Shu sent someone to pass Su Dingfang's letters to all the advisers under his command, and the generals circulated them one by one.

The various strategists and generals under Yuan Shu's command are also celebrating each other, but Ji Ling said: "This is a very good calculation, but it can also be seen from this that Su Dingfang must be a general, full of military books, if the lord fights with Gongsun Zan in the future, I am afraid this will be a big trouble for the lord!" ”

After Yuan Shu heard Ji Ling say this, he was also thoughtful, and said: "That's it, the top priority now is to defeat Yuan Shao first, Su Dingfang, when I meet him, I will personally recruit him, thinking of my Yuan family, the fourth world and the third duke, I am the son of the Yuan family, how can I not be a reckless martial artist like Gongsun Zhan, Su Dingfang will definitely bow down!" ”

The following advisers and generals also catered to and said: "What the lord said is very true, very true!" The fourth and third princes of the lord are full of the spirit of a king! Su Dingfang will inevitably abandon the dark and turn to the light! ”

Yuan Shu was also very happy with this flattery and boasting, although Ji Ling knew that things were not so simple, but Yuan Shu said before that defeating Yuan Shao was the top priority, and he did not touch Yuan Shu's bad head.

Yuan Shu said: "Come on, write back to General Su Dingfang, saying that I, Yuan Shu, will definitely act according to the plan, and I will do my best!" See you at the celebration in three days! "Only

After sending the messenger away, Yuan Shu continued: "General Ji Ling, this time you will be in command of the army, and let Gongsun Zhan's army see and understand, even if they have Su Dingfang, I, Yuan Shu, also have General Ji Ling!" ”
