As soon as these words came out, the entire camp was shaken.
Not to mention Yuan Shao couldn't believe his ears, even Ju Shou and Tian Feng were shocked!
Opposite was Cao's army led by Yang Ling. How could Guo Tu win a great victory and behead two thousand enemy troops?
Is this a joke?
Yuan Shao quickly took the military report from the soldiers, and after reading it, he suddenly became happy.
"Mr. Gongze really did not disappoint me!"
He said and handed over the military report in his hand.
Everyone read it in turn and couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Gongze is really mighty!"
"But I just arrived in Hanoi County and have already made such a great contribution!"
Although Jushou also won a victory a few days ago, in the end he only killed 200 enemy troops.
Today is different.
Guo Tu killed two thousand enemies, which was considered a great victory!
"Mr. Zezhu, is there anything else you want to say now?"
Yuan Shao asked with a faint smile.
With such a victory, he naturally no longer believed in Jushou.
Jushuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth helplessly.
When Yuan Shao saw this, he stopped paying attention to him and instead ordered,
"Send an order to Mr. Gongze and ask him to continue sending troops to attack Cao Jun and strive to recover Hanoi County as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
In order to celebrate Guo Tu's victory, Yuan Shao specially ordered a celebration party to be held in the army.
Everyone was drinking and mingling at the banquet, which was very lively.
Only Jushu was sitting in the corner, looking quite lonely.
At this moment, my friend Tian Feng came over with a wine glass.
"Although Guo Gongze is not a very good person, since he can defeat Cao Jun, it is also a good thing for our army. Why are you so depressed?"
Tian Feng said doubtfully.
"It's because he won that I'm worried."
Jushou sighed.
Looking at Tian Feng with a confused expression, he said patiently,
"What do you think of Yang Ling?"
"Very resourceful and full of strategies."
Tian Feng said without thinking.
"But it happens that such a person would be defeated at the hands of Guo Tu. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
"It's a bit suspicious. But what if Yang Ling was careless about marching and fighting?"
"Having said that, Cao Jun's defeat was too strange."
Jushou shook his head, his expression became solemn,
"Yang Ling must be pretending to be defeated and retreating to lure the enemy into deeper planning."
"Isn't this...impossible? Yang Ling only has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. He is willing to bury 2,000 people in vain?"
Tian Feng was a little unbelievable.
"Who told you that those two thousand troops are Yang Ling's elite soldiers?"
Jushou smiled bitterly,
"The two thousand Cao troops killed by Guo Tu were definitely soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Zhang Yang."
"These surrendered soldiers were difficult to control, so Yang Ling simply used them as bait and asked Guo Tu to deal with them for him!"
"Guo Tu is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but he is also blindly optimistic and loves success."
"It would be okay if we lost a few days ago, but we got a big victory."
"With his character, he will continue to attack without the Lord's orders."
"The only thing waiting for him is failure!"
After listening to his analysis, Tian Feng couldn't help but take a breath.
"This Yang Ling... is so cunning?!"
"Alas... Cao Cao is lucky to have Yang Ling as his assistant, but it is my lord's great misfortune!"
Jushou sighed helplessly.
"Then let's quickly tell the Lord about this."
Tian Feng said and stood up.
But Jushu just sat there, his smile full of bitterness,
"Do you think the Lord will trust you and me?"
Tian Feng was speechless.
If Yuan Shao was willing to trust Jushu, Jushu would not be in such a predicament today.
"Even if my lord is willing to trust me, it will still take two days to get to Hanoi County. By the time the messenger arrives, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Jushou played with the wine glass in his hand, looking quite lonely.
Tian Feng felt quite unhappy.
Firstly, it was because of his friend's depression, and secondly, he was worried about the upcoming battle.
"Perhaps I'm overly concerned. Guo Tu still has some abilities."
he comforted.
"I hope so."
Although Jushou said this, his expression showed no sign of expectation.
Having been with Guo Tu for so long, he knew very well what kind of person Guo Tu was.
When it comes to intrigues and mutual strife, Guo Tu is a master.
But if you want to outwit Yang Ling, that's impossible!
…
After two days of marching, Guo Tu led the army and marched thirty miles away from Huai County.
Along the way, he encountered no corresponding resistance.
Whenever Cao Jun encountered them, they all fled away when they saw them.
This also made Guo Tu's heart become more and more swollen.
He reined in his horse and took the map from the guard on the side.
After taking a closer look, Guo Tu told Zhang He,
"Send the order, hurry up, I want the army to arrive at the gate of Huai County before dusk today and launch an attack!"
"Supervisor, please think twice!"
Zhang He frowned and hurriedly advised,
"Our army has been busy marching these past few days and is already exhausted. Even if we reach Huai County, we may not be able to attack."
"Am I the supervisor or are you the supervisor?"
Guo Tu raised his eyebrows and said coldly,
"Our army is exhausted. Isn't Cao's army exhausted? Stop making excuses! General Junyi, if you can't do it, I will let the governor of Bingzhou take your place!"
Zhang He was so angry that he had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
He led 10,000 troops as the vanguard of the army and hurried towards Huai County.
However, not far away, I saw several scouts running over in a hurry.
"General Qi, a large number of Cao troops have been spotted ahead. Looking at their flags, they seem to belong to Yang Ling."
Yang Ling's men?
Zhang He was startled and asked in a deep voice,
"What are they doing?"
"At this time, Cao Jun unloaded his saddles and put his horses away, and his baggage was scattered. He seemed to be resting in place."
Hearing what he said, Zhang He looked more and more confused.
Even if he rested where he was, didn't Yang Ling send out scouts and spies to keep a lookout?
Before Zhang He could figure it out, Guo Tu had already rushed over from behind.
As soon as he saw Zhang He, he said with fury,
"General Junyi, I didn't ask you to go all out, why are you stalling here?"
"Everything happened for a reason. I hope the supervisors will stay calm!"
Zhang He did not dare to neglect and told Guo Tu the news of the scout's detection.
"God is really helping me. Send the order to defeat Cao's army and capture Yang Ling alive!"
After hearing this, Guo Tu was overjoyed.
"Supervisor, please do not be impulsive. What if this is Yang Ling's trap?"
Zhang He quickly advised.
"Cao's army has been defeated for several days. How could Yang Ling still set a trap? Stop talking nonsense!"
Guo Tu said disapprovingly.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhang He had no choice but to lead his troops and continue running forward.
From a long distance away, Zhang He noticed that, just as the scout said, Cao Jun was resting in place.
