Although Guan Yu felt that what he was going to do now was right, if so many generals and strategists under him did not agree, Guan Yu would not be able to go his own way.

There are some things that are not easy to pick and talk about when the military account is discussed, but in private, Guan Yu feels that it is still possible to get the support of some people.

For example, Xu Shu.

Well, in fact, the most important thing Guan Yu needs to do now is to persuade Xu Shu to support him.

As long as Xu Shu is persuaded to support, or not oppose his tactics, then the rest of the people, Guan Yu, can completely use his prestige to suppress the opposition and implement his own strategy.

After all, in Guan Yu's Jingzhou Northern Expedition army, the generals and strategists were more or less related to Guan Yu.

Guan Ping, Guan Xing is the son, and Deng Ai is the son-in-law, can these three people still oppose their decision to be a father? !

As for Liao Hua, Wang Fu. These two people can be said to be pulled up by Guan Yu, and the two of them are basically obedient to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu will basically not raise objections to what he says.

Only Xu Shu and Zhao Lei may not buy Guan Yu's account.

It doesn't matter if Zhao Lei is not enough, at most he will give a bitter admonition, Guan Yu's prestige is enough, and it is completely possible to suppress it.

The person who can't be suppressed is actually just a Xu Shu.

Although Xu Shu's official position is far from Guan Yu's, he is already the highest official in the army, except for Wang Ji, who stayed in Jiangling, among the generals in Jingzhou.

In addition, Xu Shu can also be regarded as the old man of Liu Bei's group, Liu Bei was the first strategist with strategic vision in his early years, and his ability and ability were also unanimously recognized by Liu Guanzhang at that time.

In addition, Liu Bei deliberately did not recruit Xu Shu to go to Chengdu to be a high-ranking official, and Guan Yu was also very clear about what the real purpose was.

Liu Bei reminded Guan Yu more than once in his letters to Guan Yu that he must discuss with Xu Junshi more when he encounters difficulties. Liu Bei is still calling Xu Shu "Xu Junshi", the purpose is to remind Guan Yu not to do things recklessly, and listen to the opinions of "Junshi".

Therefore, after Guan Yu broke up the account, he left Xu Shu, and the two of them chatted privately while drinking.

Xu Shu also guessed what Guan Yu meant by leaving him, or rather, as long as someone a little smarter could guess why, so Xu Shu didn't go around in circles with Guan Yu, and asked directly without drinking.

"What do you mean by the general's words today?!"

Xu Shu really couldn't figure it out.

Guan Yu is arrogant, but that is pride, not arrogance Guan Yu is not pretending to be a man, and he can't say the famous saying "He crosses the river and I cross the river", that thing is impossible for anyone with a little military common sense to know.

Even if Guan Yu is not a famous general, he is also a veteran general who has been fighting for forty years, he has rich experience in leading the army, he is full of experience in battle, and he knows the way to be a general, but what he said today is completely contrary to common sense.

Xu Shu knew that there must be a reason for this, so he had to figure it out, so that he could persuade Guan Yu not to take risks with reason, otherwise it would really be difficult to persuade this proud Guan Junhou.

And Guan Yu was not in a hurry, he still smiled, poured a bowl of wine for Xu Shu first, and then said, "Mr. Yuanzhi, don't worry, the old man's words today are not stupid words, but just want to win a quick victory over Cao Thief." ”

Xu Shu was slightly stunned, thought about Guan Yu's words, and had a bad premonition.

"General, don't be in a hurry about the battle formation, you must know that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it" Xu Shu pressed the uneasiness in his heart and hurriedly continued to persuade.

I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid that Guan Yu will be impatient Xu Shu has been most worried about this since the Northern Expedition.

Xu Shu knew that this Northern Expedition was caused by Guan Yu's book, and what he was most worried about was Guan Yu's eagerness to win, forgetting that the way to be a general was indeed the case now.

This Xu Shu can't help but persuade.

In war, are there still fewer cases of defeat and loss of ground because of the rush to advance?!

Not to mention, there have been two cases in recent decades, one is Yuan Shao in Guandu, and the other is Cao Cao in Chibi.

Aren't these two people all because they were eager to win, and in the end they fell short, and finally lost the opportunity to dominate the world.

Xu Shu had to seriously talk to Guan Yu about the truth in this, so that Guan Yu could wake up.

Guan Yu was still smiling, quietly listened to Xu Shu's advice, and then said, "Yuan Benchu is in Guandu, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is in Chibi, all soldiers are good enough to win, steady and steady enough to win, eager to win, is a taboo for soldiers, this old man only knows, Mr. Yuan Zhi, Cao Cheng Prime Minister is in Guandu, Zhou Gongjin is in Chibi, if you don't take risks, you can have a chance to win?!" ”

Xu Shu was really stunned at this moment. This Guan Junhou, when did he learn to quibble?!

The success of these two has created the illusion that the risk plan is available, and many people have used their lives to prove what the consequences are if the risk plan fails.

But. Xu Shu now somewhat understands Guan Yu's intentions.

Compared with Cao Wei, the current Han is still not strong, and in terms of overall strength, Cao Wei is still strong and the Han is weak.

Now in the battle of the Northern Expedition, what Cao Wei wants to do most is to fight steadily, and Zhang Liao of Wancheng also did this, so standing on the side of the weak Han, it has become human nature for Guan Junhou to use dangerous tactics to win.

Xu Shu completely understood what Guan Yu meant.

Guan Yu is not eager to win, he has a reason that he must use danger to win. But after all, it was still too risky.

"The body of a prince is the body of ten thousand gold, how can you go into battle lightly?!" Xu Shu still persuaded him.

The specific reason, Deng Ai has already said in the military tent, Xu Shu does not plan to repeat it, and Xu Shu does not believe it, Guan Yu will not know the importance of this.

Of course Guan Yu knew, but he could only sigh helplessly and said, "Wen Yuan is a little brave, but he is cautious and cautious, if it weren't for the old man, An could lure him to fight?!" ”

Guan Yu doesn't need to say the Tao in too much detail, Xu Shu can also understand it.

"But" Xu Shu hesitated slightly, but still said, "In case something goes wrong"

As soon as he said this, Guan Yu was a little unhappy, squinted at Xu Shu slightly, and said, "Mr. Yuanzhi, doesn't he think that the old man has been in a high position all these years, but he has abandoned martial arts?!" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly shook his head and explained, "The general is too worried, the general's courage is known to the world, how dare you question that the general is just above the battle array, the sword and gun have no eyes, if there is a mistake, it is not beautiful."

Guan Yu was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then he suddenly burst out laughing.

This Xu Yuanzhi is a good compliment, but in the end, he will still say what to say. I also have some temper with myself.

After laughing, Guan Yu still had to explain to Xu Shu.

"The old man also knows that it is dangerous, but the general goes into battle to kill the enemy, how can he cower and move forward?!" Guan Yu smiled and said, "Even if Guan is in charge of the Chinese army, there is inevitably a danger of loss, where can it be foolproof?!" ”

After smiling, Guan Yu groaned a little, restrained his expression, and said seriously, "Guan Mou has fought all his life, and there are no less than 100 battles of all sizes, which is a happy thing in life. Although I am getting older, I don't want to die of old age. If it can be left unattended by the king, the horse leather will be returned to the body, which is also Guan's wish. ”

When it came to this, Xu Shu felt that even if he persuaded him, he couldn't seem to say any words.

I had no choice but to get up, salute Guan Yu to show respect, and then said, "If the general insists on doing this risky plan, you have nothing to say about the affairs in the army, and you should think about it, so you are offensive and bluntly said: If the general's plan fails, where should we go with the army?!" ”

This is a very straightforward question to Guan Yu, what if you can't beat that Zhang Liao, or that Zhang Liao refuses to fight? !

As soon as Guan Yu heard Xu Shu ask, he immediately turned around, came to his handsome case, took out a scroll of paperwork, and handed it to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was slightly stunned, looked at the fire paint on the document scroll, and then looked at Guan Yu, who didn't speak, and didn't dare to answer.

Guan Yu also laughed a little, afraid that Xu Shu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained, "The matter of sealing the book with fire paint is not an original intention, this is the idea of the kid of the Yuan Chang." The kid is in charge of the military department, and he has to be cautious about what secrets in the army have to be, and he has to engage in this kind of thing in the army. Since it is the law of the imperial court, the old man must not disobey, so the fire paint sealed the book and handed it over to Mr. Yuan Zhi, which will be opened afterwards. ”

As soon as Xu Shu heard this, he immediately understood what Guan Yu meant—in this document sealed with fire paint, there was Guan Yu's arrangement for the rest of the matter.

Xu Shu immediately knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and officially took the scroll of documents.

After Guan Yu saw Xu Shu take the paperwork, he immediately picked up Xu Shu, hugged Xu Shu's arm, and said, "The old man also knows the danger of this plan, so he entrusts the affairs of the whole army to Mr. Yuan Zhi If there is a discord, Yuan Zhi should also take up the burden, and he should not harm the country's major affairs because of the old man alone." ”

Xu Shu frowned, looked embarrassed, hesitated, and looked at Guan Yu again.

And Guan Yu once again blocked Xu Shu's words, let go of Xu Shu, and stood with his back.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, don't worry. Although the old man is old, it may not be easy for Wen Yuan to beat the old man. The old man's plan, even if it can't be done, Wenyuan can't fight again. I have to ask Mr. for everything. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he hesitated again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything.

sighed, bowed down, and bowed deeply to Guan Yu's back to express respect.

Then, turn around and go out of the account and go to Deng Ai!

If I can't persuade you, I'll find your son-in-law.

If your son-in-law is still not good, then find your daughter

The old man wants to go crazy for state affairs, and we can't stop it as outsiders, but we can't be kind enough not to notify our families!!
