"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Cang asked cautiously.
Everyone also looked at Yang Ling with worried eyes.
After such a huge defeat tonight, not only was he not angry, he actually laughed. Could it be that he was confused by anger?
"What are you thinking? I just figured out a way to defeat Jushou."
Yang Ling smiled.
"real?"
Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said,
"Sir, tell me quickly!"
He couldn't wait to attack Jushou now to avenge the defeat just now.
"There's no rush, Xingba, please take a good rest."
Yang Ling smiled and comforted,
"My method is to ask our old friends for help."
…
Yuan Shao's base camp is located outside the ruins of Baima City.
In the Chinese army camp.
Yuan Shaozheng gathered a group of advisers and generals to discuss military matters.
"My lord, according to the news from Meng Dai who is responsible for guarding Yecheng, it will take at most half a month to replenish the previous food and grass."
Tian Feng said respectfully.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
As long as the food and grass are replenished, he can continue to attack Cao Cao!
"Very good, pass the order to him for me. After this incident, I will reward him heavily."
"Here!"
Tian Feng cupped his hands.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran in,
"Lord, the supervisory army and the governor of Bingzhou have sent good news from Hanoi County! Cao's army attacked the military camp at night the day before yesterday, and the supervisory army expected it in advance."
"Cao's army lost nearly 200 men, and our army's casualties are almost negligible!"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.
"The supervisor did not disappoint me, that's great!"
The spirits of other people in the camp were also lifted!
Although the result of this battle was not brilliant, with less than 200 Cao Jun soldiers killed, it was able to greatly boost the morale of Yuan Jun.
After all, Yuan Jun had never won a victory since he crossed the river and went south.
Especially when facing Yang Ling, he suffered repeated defeats!
"Xianfu (name of Yuan Shang)!"
"Father, please give me orders!"
"You immediately send someone to see the supervisor and reward him with money and treasures for me!"
Yuan Shao smiled.
"My child obeys."
Yuan Shang took the order and left.
"Thanks to the military advisor, without him, Cao's army would have already attacked Ye City."
Tian Feng said with a smile.
If you can't speak, don't speak!
Yuan Shao's face darkened.
But fortunately, with such good news today, he didn't bother to argue with Tian Feng.
While everyone was beaming with joy, Guo Tu in the corner had a sullen face and felt unhappy in his heart.
This was obviously his own merit, but it was taken away by this boy Ju Shou.
Otherwise, the one being praised by the Lord today would be myself!
After the discussion, Guo Tu returned to his tent angrily.
Just as he was thinking about how to defeat Ju Shu, a familiar figure walked in.
"I have met Mr. Gongze."
Guo Tu looked up and his face darkened again.
"Wang Yousheng, why is it you again? Didn't we agree before? It's settled once and for all. We owe nothing to each other."
"Yes, that's what he said."
"Then what are you doing here again?"
"My husband knew that Mr. Gongze had encountered new troubles, so he specially ordered me to come."
Wang Yousheng chuckled and came forward.
"Mr. Gongze, are you willing to watch Jushou's glory?"
Of course Guo Tu was not willing to give in.
But Jushuo was in the limelight and Yuan Shao had great favor on him. What could he do?
"What can you do?"
Guo Tu glanced at him and said calmly.
Wang Yousheng smiled and said nothing, but handed a letter to Guo Tu.
Guo Tu took it, looked through it a few times, and his eyes widened instantly.
Although he and Jushu didn't get along very well, they could still tell that it was Jushu's handwriting after they had worked together for so long.
But this is not the key, the key is the content of the letter.
The letter was written by Jushou to Cao Cao.
He said in the letter that he had a grudge because he was imprisoned by Yuan Shao last time, so he wanted to join Cao Cao.
Now he has reached a cooperation with Yang Ling, and the two sides are pretending to be in a stalemate.
As soon as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao started fighting again, he united with Yang Ling and took Yecheng directly!
I didn't expect that Jushou would be like me, eating everything inside and out...ah, bah, bah, bah!
Guo Tu quickly shook his head. After calming down, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Based on his understanding of Jushou, Jushou would never be able to do such a thing.
Moreover, if Jushu really wrote a letter to Cao Cao and wanted to seek refuge with him, Cao Cao might not be able to welcome him in time, so how could he give this letter to him?
He raised his head and looked at Wang Yousheng suspiciously.
Wang Yousheng laughed and said in a low voice,
"This is a forged letter. But sometimes, a forged letter can be much more useful than a real letter."
Guo Tu's eyes lit up and he didn't say anything else, but he already had concerns in his heart.
After sending Wang Yousheng away, Guo Tu couldn't wait to go to Yuan Shao's camp.
"This subordinate has met my lord!"
Yuan Shao was in a very good mood today. When he saw him arriving, he smiled and said,
"What's wrong, Mr. Gongze?"
"Ju Shou has made great achievements. There are some things that I don't want to say, but this matter is of great importance and it can't be done if I don't say it."
Guo Tu pretended to be hesitant to speak, successfully arousing Yuan Shao's curiosity.
"What is it that makes Mr. Gongze so confused? Just ask."
"Since the lord said so, my subordinates will no longer hesitate."
Guo Tu took out the letter in his arms and presented it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao just took a rough look at it, and his expression changed drastically in an instant.
"Where did you get this letter?"
"Replying to my lord, this is the letter intercepted by the reconnaissance cavalry we sent out."
Guo Tu replied.
Yuan Shao looked at the letter in his hand. Although he said nothing, his expression was uncertain.
"The supervisor army has always been loyal to the lord, and he has just defeated Yang Ling and made great achievements. According to my subordinates, this must be Cao Jun's plan."
"You must know that Zhong Yao and Cao Zhi under Cao Cao are all great calligraphers in the world. It is not difficult to imitate the calligraphy of Jianjun."
"Just to be cautious, I still have to tell the lord and let the lord make the decision."
Guo Tu is indeed a person who is proficient in intrigues.
He knew that Yuan Shao had great trust in Jushou at this moment, so he did not rush to suppress Jushou, but started to insinuate him.
"Then what do you think I should do?"
Yuan Shao asked.
"We might as well test the supervisory army first. My lord can give the order for him to take the initiative to fight against Cao's army."
"He has thirty thousand troops in his hands. If he fights against Cao's army, even if he loses, there will be no danger."
"But if he loses miserably or refuses to fight, he may have reached an ulterior secret with Cao Cao."
Guo Tu whispered.
Yuan Shao touched his long beard on his chin and thought for a long time before nodding heavily.
"Shan! Just do as you say."
