Dong Zhao is self-aware and his actions are clean. In addition, Yuan Shao does not know that he has some contacts with Chen Xi, otherwise he will never be allowed to participate in such a life-and-death meeting.
The information Xu You and Jushu knew was that Dong Zhao and Cao Cao had some unexplainable relationship. However, the two parties were allies after all, so they did not investigate too closely. In addition, Dong Zhao did not cross the line.
As for why Jushou and Xu You warned Dong Zhao so specifically this time, it was just because of the situation and they didn't want any accident to happen. Dong Zhao thought that Jushou and Xu You had a certain understanding of what they were doing, so he was worried. He was also somewhat thankful that his previous actions did not seriously threaten Yuan Shao.
Under such a misunderstanding, Dong Zhao sent Chen Xi a secret letter that Yuan Shao was running out of food and grass after Jushou's grand strategy was launched, which was able to clear away Jushou and Xu You's suspicions about him. Of course, this letter also made Dong Zhao I will regret it for the rest of my life. Spies can really be killed if you smash them.
Under such circumstances, Jushuo and Tianfeng secretly transferred grain and grass from Julu to Wei County, spent a lot of time and energy on transporting it to Dongwuyang, and then ordered Yuan Shao's soldiers to dig mountains and pile them up, as if they were to be permanently consolidated. The defensive posture is actually to hide the extra food and grass.
After going back and forth like this several times, without Liu Beijun's knowledge, Yuan Shaojun's right camp successfully stored enough food and grass for ten days for an army of 150,000 people. After that, Tian Feng stopped stockpiling.
All the soldiers involved in this matter were all sent back to the rear in the name of troop mobilization. Except for a few people in the entire camp, no one knew that Yuan Shao's army had a large amount of grain and grass buried under the easternmost camp.
In this way, Yuan Shaojun had the capital to take advantage of the situation, and Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others began to perfect this grand strategy.
Under such circumstances, Li You, who was at the rear, received a secret letter from Jushu. There was nothing in it about Yuan Shao. There were only two items. One was to determine whether Fazheng was in Mount Tai, and the other was to ask Li You to find a way to delay Yuan Shao. The speed at which Xun Yue distributes food.
After Li You read the secret letter, he burned it calmly. Generally speaking, the two contents are that the other party has received inside information about Liu Bei's army attacking Yecheng.
After thinking about it, Li You decisively wrote down detailed information about Fazheng and Zhang Fei's attack on Yecheng, but it was of no use at all. By the time the letter arrived, the food roads in Yecheng might have been cut off.
To be precise, I'm afraid when Li You sent this letter. Yuan Shaojun has received intelligence from his own side. As for the deployment of Fazheng and Zhang Fei's troops, there are nine truths and one falsehood, which can completely deceive people without their lives.
As for slowing down Xun Yue's delivery of food, this was even more arbitrary. The external publicity is that Xun Yue is in charge of Mount Tai, but in fact Li You is the real leader.
Xun Yue decisively stated that he was going to set fire to the granary. Xun Yue could not find the arsonist in a short time, so he had to go to the emergency food adjustment. It would take eight days to prepare the food.
[But there are some problems with this situation now. With Xu You and Jushu's personalities, it is impossible for them to put their hope on me. From the last situation, it can be seen that the other party has never trusted me. 】
After Li You finished writing, he thought silently, [However, before this letter arrived, Yuan Zhi and Wen Chang had already stepped up their attacks on the entire Qinghe, and the Cui family in Qinghe had an ambiguous attitude. It is unlikely that Qinghe will send food and grass. 】
[Then what is the value of this letter? Won't Jushou and Xu You do useless work and delay time? 】 Li You suddenly couldn't understand. In his opinion, Ju Shou and Xu You shouldn't act like this.
[When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Going against the grain, Jushou and Xu You definitely want to win, and the current situation is almost the same. The other side knows that the grain road in Yecheng has been cut off and the Qinghe River is blocked. The most correct way should be to attack Yuanzhi. He Wenchang sent a message to Yecheng to hold on, and all parties went to rescue him. 】
[Yuan Shao’s main force is contained. So the most correct way to dredge the grain channel is to have a high view of Yuan Zhi and Wen Chang who went out of the Bohai Sea to attack Qinghe. While dredging the Qinghe River, the grain channel in the Bohai Sea was also dredged, which the other party must have thought of. 】
Li You looked gloomy, tapping his knuckles on the table. Carefully considering every possibility, the best thing about him now is that he can have access to the intelligence of both sides and watch the battle between the two sides from the perspective of a bystander.
[It seems that it can only be because the other party is determined not to give up, but what is the value of dragging food and grass? If I delay, the enemy and us will actually compete with each other at that time, and whoever is worse will perish. It is impossible for the other party to pin all their goals on me, so they will also have other preparations when it comes to sending food. 】
It was also difficult for Li You to guess what Yuan Shaojun's preparations were. After all, he had miscalculated about the time difference. If Jushou and Xu You had written to Li You a few days earlier, Li You would have very likely estimated that Yuan Shaojun would arrive soon. Food and grass were transferred to other places, but Li You really couldn't imagine what happened now.
After all, the time is too short. War is sometimes like this. There is a huge difference between a few days of preparation and no preparation at all. Fortunately, Jushou got the news a few days earlier, and then obtained the intelligence a few days earlier. After everything was done, I wrote to Li You.
[If you can’t think of it, then don’t think about it. At this time, strengthening yourself and weakening the enemy is the most correct choice. In this case, if you want me to haul food, then I will follow your idea and give you a A signal that will definitely put your mind at ease! 】
Li You sneered inwardly. He couldn't guess what Ju Shou and the others wanted to do, but it didn't matter. Since you couldn't guess, then don't guess! After thinking about it, you may mislead yourself. At this time, nothing is more important than strengthening yourself.
That night, Li You ordered people to burn the largest granary on the ground that was first built. As for the grain, most of it was moved away. At the same time, some special spices were burned. That night, the whole Fenggao smelled something. There was the smell of burning grain, so Xun Yue tried his best to hide it but could not cover up this "fact".
Liu Bei learned the truth of the matter that day at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles. Yuan Shaojun's spies also sent the relevant facts to Yuan Shaojun three days later. Before that, Jushou had received Li You's secret message. letter.
After Yuan Shaojun's spies described the situation in detail, Yuan Shaojun immediately had no doubts at all. Xu You and Jushou, who originally had any doubts about Li You, were completely wiped out. Doubtful, turned to feel lucky to have developed such a high-level spy. (To be continued.)
