Chapter 410: Open and Secret Battles Between Strategists

Yuan Shao feasted on civil and military affairs, talked about wine, and praised Guo Tu Na during the banquet.

As the lord's father, he has praised the advisers under his account.

Although everyone in the audience was accompanied, they all had different expressions.

"The imperial army is menacing, but it almost scared me to death." Yuan Shao said with a hint of contempt in his tone, and said mockingly, "But as soon as the war starts, it will be clear whether this is a real ability or boasting, Gai Xun is said to have been once introduced as a close friend by the emperor, and if there is anything in the court, he will send someone to ask Gai Xun's opinion, but look, he is not frustrated and blocked in the party, and he is not allowed to advance an inch."

"Cao Ren is also quite valued by the unjust emperor, but he has not been defeated by Guo Tu?"

"I, Yuan Shao, are sitting in Yecheng, a hundred miles away, but what can they do to me?"

"Come, I'll drink with you!"

Everyone raised the wine cup with a smile on their faces and congratulated Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's words today were extraordinarily large, and as soon as the wine went down his throat, he said impatiently: "I, Yuan Shao, never do anything to boast about myself, I have a lot of soldiers, but I always feel that I am inferior to others. But to this day, I suddenly realized that I am probably just too modest, and I am very strong in Jizhou!"

All:......

When they said this, they all felt a little blushing.

"I intend to use all my troops and horses to win a decisive victory with the imperial army on the north bank of the Great River, and use it as a cover for Guo Tuqi's attack on Baima to cut off the grain and grass of the imperial army, what do you think?" Yuan Shao asked.

The judge, who had been black-faced since the beginning of the banquet, stood up and said, "It is a bold attempt for the general to make this decision, and he thinks he can do it."

"It's a bit rare that Juzheng Nan actually agreed with my words." Yuan Shao teased with a smile.

In the context of the first victory, Yuan Shao's belly seemed to be widening all of a sudden.

The judge's face suddenly darkened again, and he said in a deep voice, "Guo Tu is alone and will be defeated. However, if the general picks up the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and wins a decisive victory with Cao Ren on the north bank of the Great River, he thinks that not only can Guo Tu's soldiers and horses be saved, but the surprise attack on the white horse may also be successful."

"The defensive line operated by Fu Zhu on the front line of the Shangdang has blocked the enemy from the west, and the battle in Qingzhou will not be fruitful in a short time. At this time, the only thing the general needs to consider is Cao Ren, and if he takes it from time to time now, it will be difficult to figure it out later!"

"What the general needs at this time is decisiveness, whether it is offensive or defensive, he must not hesitate. If you wait for the three armies of the imperial court to be surrounded, everything will be over!"

Yuan Shao, who was in a happy mood, didn't even feel unpleasant when he listened to the somewhat yin and yang weird words of the trial, but rather admired the integrity of the trial. He believed that only those who were truly loyal to him would be anxious because of his hesitation.

"If I leave you to guard Yecheng, can you grasp it?" Yuan Shao asked.

The judge was a little surprised, and he almost cursed.

Yuan Shao even had to entrust him with a heavy task? This made him a little impressed.

"It is natural to be sure of the humble position, but the humble position still insists that the general should choose to stick to it, rather than attack rashly. The general should choose another place to camp his army, with Yecheng as the center, and arrange a defensive line in southern Hebei." Said the judge.

Yuan Shao smiled lightly and waved his hand, "Guo Tu has already told us with a big victory that the imperial army is not invincible. Now that it has been decided, there is no need to say anything like that. You all say I'm hesitant, but look at your opinions, and they keep repeating it. And I trust you, how can I not repeat my thoughts?!"

The judge sat down with a dazed expression.

Although I couldn't help but say a few more words for a while, I felt even more uneasy after I finished speaking.

Today's proposal is contrary to his original intentions.

Although he felt that it was the right choice to meet Cao Ren head-on with all his troops and horses to solve the crisis in the south when he could not be persuaded to do so, it was never the best choice.

Yuan Shaodang even ordered: "If the soldiers and horses of Yecheng are left behind, everything in Yexian can be dealt with cheaply. The rest of the generals, from now on, will order all the equipment on the hour, build the armor, and send out in five days."

In the seat, Feng Ji looked at the trial with a complicated look, and his heart was silent

A swear word in greetings.

This guy is still as unkind as ever.

After the feast, Yuan Shao ordered his armor to be taken out, and he personally cleaned the iron pieces on it, and replaced the hemp ropes that did not look very strong.

At this time, someone reported that the general Jiang Qi asked to see him.

"Let him in!" Yuan Shao buried his head in carefully picking up his armor and said.

"Whoa!"

After a while, a general dressed in military uniform walked in with his bare hands, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the general!"

After saluting, he immediately said very enthusiastically, "Why should the general do such a small thing? In the end, he will be picked up by the general."

Yuan Shao raised his hand to interrupt, "My own armor, I can rest assured that I will clean it up myself."

Jiang Qi was in a dilemma for a while.

His sycophant was smoothly slapped on the horse's hooves.

"What?" Yuan Shao raised his head and asked.

Jiang Qi glanced left and right, and in order to prevent Yuan Shao from raising his head to talk to him, he also squatted down and said, "General, the last general is here for the matter of matching. Judging that the clan is strong, if he is left in charge of a strong army to stay in Yecheng, the last general will feel a little uneasy in his heart."

"What do you have to worry about?" Yuan Shao chuckled, "The problem with this person is that he is too upright, and his temper is relatively impulsive, as long as it doesn't go his way, anything can come out of his mouth, but I still believe in his loyalty."

"The general doesn't know." Jiang Qi said in a low voice, "After you rejected your suggestion, the general complained a lot in private, and even said that the general's move was the way to die. But in today's deliberations, the judge actually agreed with the general to take the initiative to send troops, and said that if he didn't take it now, it would be difficult to think of such a thing in the future.

"Maybe it's the heart of the last general, but the last general is really worried that the trial will have other plans. His two sons are in the south, and his clan has deep roots in the county, if he has two ambitions, the last general is really worried that the general will lead the troops outside, and he is afraid that he will never return to Yecheng."

Yuan Shao's brows gradually twisted, "Did he really say such a thing as the way to die behind his back?"

The general assured with a serious face: "General, if the last general has a lie, he will make ten thousand arrows pierce his heart!"

"The last general knows that I do this, and I do have the heart of a villain, but for the sake of the general's great cause and the safety of Yecheng. The last general is willing to be this villain, the big war is approaching, and it is even more necessary to take precautions, general."

Yuan Shao thought for a moment with a calm face, and said, "You go down first."

"Whoa!" Jiang Qi responded, "Please think twice, General."

After Jiang Qi left, Yuan Shao sent people to find Xin Ping and Feng Ji.

"Some people say that the judge has two hearts for me, what do you think about this?" After the arrival of these two, Yuan Shao went straight to the point and directly told Xin Ping and Feng Ji what Jiang Qi said.

Jiang Qi's words made him completely unprepared to pack up any armor.

Now he thinks about it, and his mind is full of images of the judge possibly stabbing him in the back, but he feels that the judge seems to be able to be trusted, and this contradiction makes him very irritable.

"Jiang Qi's opinion is also a lowly worry." Xin Ping said with some shame, "It's just that Jiang Qi dared to be this villain and tell the general about these troubles, but he hesitated in his humble position."

Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji again, "You have always been incompatible with the trial, what do you think?"

Feng Ji was stunned, Yuan Shao seemed to have some misunderstanding of his relationship with the trial.

I don't know which eye Yuan Shao saw that he was incompatible with the trial.

He had disputes with the judges, and even sometimes scolded them for being on official business, and their personal relations were still good.

Feng Ji arched his hand and said, "General, judging by nature, is straightforward and strong, every time he says and does, he admires the discipline of the ancients, and I think that since he chooses to serve the general, he will not do unrighteous things. Since the general has already ordered to judge and supervise the guards, I don't think you need to doubt him."
