Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shou and frowned slightly.
Since he was trapped in Weijun City, Yuan Shao didn't listen much to other advisers' suggestions, leaving only Jushou alone to make suggestions in front of the account.
Because Yuan Shao also realized that when there were many advisers around him, if the strategies given by him had different opinions, he would think a lot, and in the end he would think wildly and lose the opportunity.
Jushou was quite talented, and Yuan Shao knew it, so he was left alone to make plans.
After Yuan Shao heard what Jushou said, he asked, "Are you saying that Han Fu's actions were all ordered by Cao Ang?"
Jushou nodded: "I think so. With Han Fu's character, even if the lord is in a bitter battle, he would not dare to do such a thing."
"But now, Han Fu dares to take advantage of my lord to go out to fight and take the opportunity to do these little tricks behind his back. I guess there must be someone supporting him, and this person supporting him, except Cao and his son, will not be anyone else. "
Yuan Shao felt that Ju Shou's analysis was reasonable, so he nodded.
Then, Yuan Shao frowned and asked, "But even if we know that Cao Ang is up to something, what can we do?"
When Jushu heard this, he frowned and began to think about countermeasures.
When Yuan Shao on the side saw that Jushu was silent, he asked again: "How long can the food and grass in Weijun City last?"
"I'm afraid we can only hold on for about three months." Jushou frowned and said, "Master, we are out of food here. I think there will be no one on the eldest son's side to provide him with military rations."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he frowned and sighed, then slammed the table and shouted: "This Cao Zixiu deserves to die!"
…
Ju Shou's prediction was good. Yuan Tan was indeed out of military rations.
Looking at the grain escort who came back empty-handed, Yuan Tan was a little dumbfounded.
"What's going on, where are the army rations?" Yuan Tan asked curiously. He and Yu Jin were facing each other across the Yellow River. He didn't think the other party could cross the river and steal the food and grass.
The grain officer angrily told the story that those aristocratic families were unwilling to give them any more military grain.
After hearing this, Yuan Tan was also very angry. He slapped the table and stood up: "These aristocratic families are usually respectful and flattering. Now that the war is anxious, each one of them wants to be wise and protect themselves?"
"When this battle is over, when my class goes back, I will definitely take action on these wealthy families."
Guo Tu on the side couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard this. After all, he was also from a noble family.
The Xin family that Xin Ping came from was also a wealthy family. He did not expect that the Xin family would no longer support Yuan Shao.
Yuan Tan noticed Guo Tu and Xin Ping beside him, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said: "Two gentlemen, don't worry, this is the decision of the person in charge of your family, it has nothing to do with the two gentlemen, I will not vent my anger on you. For both gentlemen."
When Guo Tu and Xin Ping heard this, they nodded politely, but their faces were still a little ugly.
Xin Ping's face looked ugly because he was really annoyed by what the Xin family had done.
Guo Tu's face was ugly because after he came to Yuan Tan, he visited Wei County several times for military affairs.
He went to Wei County several times and wanted to get in touch with Guo Jia, but things didn't work out and he never had the chance.
After all, the two armies were facing each other. How could he contact people from the opposing camp so easily?
Yuan Tan looked at Guo Tu and Xin Ping, sighed helplessly and said: "Two gentlemen, the current military rations are only enough to support the army for about half a month. If there is no food and grass, this army will starve to death. "
When Guo Tu heard this, he frowned. Without military rations, he really had no choice but to look at Xin Ping who was standing aside.
Seeing this, Xin Ping sighed helplessly and said, "My lord, in this situation, we have only one way to withdraw our troops."
"Withdraw the troops?" Yuan Tan frowned. For them at this time, withdrawing the troops was indeed the best choice.
But where to evacuate?
Yuan Tan frowned and looked at the map, hesitating for a moment, not knowing where to evacuate.
Xin Ping pointed at the map and said, "Eldest Master, please retreat to Yangping. My lord is stationed in Wei County. Let's evacuate to Yangping so that we can take care of each other."
Yuan Tan nodded, indicating that he agreed with the other party's opinion, and then raised his concerns.
"Okay, then if we withdraw our troops, we will definitely have a huge force. If Cao Jun on the other side takes the opportunity to pursue us, we will be in trouble."
Xin Ping thought for a while and then said: "The eldest son only needs to leave more than a hundred people to light fires and breakfast every day. The fires will still be made according to the amount needed when the army is there."
"Cao's army on the other side will naturally not realize that we have withdrawn when they see the smoke from the cooking fires."
"Okay!" Yuan Tan was overjoyed and looked at Xin Ping with excitement: "Since you are here, I have no worries."
On Yuan Tan's side, everything went according to plan. He and Guo Tu retreated first with the army.
Xin Ping stayed with 500 men and arranged smoke to confuse Cao's army on the other side of the river.
Yu Jin was suffering from the lack of a strategy to defeat the enemy. He looked at the map and struggled all day long. He really didn't want to use the damaging moves Cheng Yu proposed. However, he didn't use these damaging moves at the moment, but he didn't have any strategy to defeat the enemy.
While Yu Jin was meditating hard, Cheng Yu walked into the handsome account.
"Zhongde is here. If you are here to persuade me to use your strategy, then there is no need to speak. I'd better think about it."
Yu Jin looked at Cheng Yu with a wry smile on his face.
Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "General, I came here this time not to persuade you, but because I saw that in the enemy camp, although the smoke was still there, the shouts of killing were no longer there. Suspect, they have already begun to withdraw their troops.”
"Withdraw troops?" Yu Jin was stunned and began to recall.
These days, he has been debating whether to use Cheng Yu's strategy, so he didn't pay too much attention to the sound of soldiers practicing.
Now that Cheng Yu reminded him, he instantly realized something was wrong and quickly sent Le Jin to lead people across the river to investigate.
It's a pity that by the time Le Jin led his people across the Yellow River, the enemy's camp was already empty.
Cheng Yu and Xun You guessed that the other party was retreating towards Yangping.
Therefore, Yu Jin led his army towards Wei County and joined Cao Ang.
As for Gongsun Zan, he was not so lucky as to just run out of food and grass.
Originally, he relied on the mobility of Baima Yicong to go to Xiahou Dun every day.
As a result, on this day, Bai Mayi's camp was attacked shortly after he set out.
