The next day, Yuan Shao summoned his ministers and generals to discuss matters in the Prefecture.
After a while, everyone arrived and stood in the meeting hall, divided into civil and military groups, waiting for the arrival of the lord.
Yuan Shao, escorted by Yan Liang and Yuan Fang, came to the meeting hall and went straight to the main seat to sit down.
Yuan Shao took the lead and said, "Everyone is here except General Wen Chou and Mr. Zhen Yan who are away from home today. Everyone met these two gentlemen yesterday, and I will introduce them to you formally today." Xu You can ignore them.
Everyone's ears pricked up to listen to the Lord's evaluation of the two gentlemen.
Yuan Shao pointed at Ju Sue, who was standing behind Tian Feng, and praised him very highly, "This is Mr. Ju Sue, and he will be our military advisor in Bohai from now on. Mr. Ju, he is a man of great talent. Everyone should respect him and not neglect him."
Military advisor, everyone was very surprised. They didn't expect that Mr. Jushuo was so powerful that he could keep pace with Mr. Tian Feng. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect and said in unison.
"I have met the military advisor."
Jushou was very grateful and did not want his lord to praise him so highly and grant him the high position of military advisor. When he saw his colleagues saluting him, he didn't dare to show off, so he returned the salute when he left work.
"My colleagues don't need to be so polite. From now on, we will work hard together and do our best for the Lord's great cause."
This was very beautifully said, and Mr. Jushuo didn't have any airs. He immediately made everyone get close to each other, shortening the distance, and instantly became one with him.
Yuan Shao was very happy when he saw that they were getting along well with each other. Only when the generals are in harmony can great things be prospered.
Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Yuan Shao pointed at Guo Jiaqi, who was about to fall asleep in the corner, and said, "That is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. He is now joining the army. He has unpredictable abilities and no one should underestimate him." Guo Jia's words made Guo Jia's eyes clear. It's bright, but he's still sleeping.
What, is this drunkard so powerful? Everyone expressed doubts, except Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, and Ju Sue who heard Guo Jia's opinion.
But due to the Lord's face, he had to bow and said perfunctorily.
"See Guo Shenjun"
Regarding everyone's misunderstanding, Guo Jia looked at it very lightly and didn't care. He nodded as if he had seen it before and did not return the greeting.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Yuan Shao changed the subject and asked, "How are the people in Luoyang doing?"
Tian Feng came out and said, "My lord, General Gao and I were busy all day yesterday, and the arrangements have been made. Please don't worry, lord, there is just something wrong with the food and grass."
When Tian Feng was doing things, Yuan Shao felt relieved. When he heard that he mentioned that there was a problem with the food and grass, Yuan Shao had to ask, "What, what's wrong with the food and grass?".
Before Tian Feng could speak, Shen Pei answered, "Lord Mingjian, I am in charge of the food and grass business. It is very clear. There are too many people to receive this time. The food and grass we stored before can only sustain three people." Come on. If there is no food and grass support, we will not starve to death, and we will be killed by the mob." As he spoke, he reminded Yuan Shao a little worriedly.
Food and grass is indeed a big problem. If it is not handled well, it may lead to the destruction of the foundation as Guo Jia said.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao asked Yuan Fang who was standing next to him, "I wonder if Xu You borrowed food and grass? Is Zhen Yan back?".
After returning to Bohai, Yuan Shao asked Yuan Fang to send people from the Shadow Camp to collect intelligence and deliver news. He was ready to make them a trump card in his hand, so he asked Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied, "According to reliable information, Xu You has borrowed 800,000 yuan in food and grass and should be on his way back now. However, Mr. Zhen Yan has not heard any news yet."
What, Xu You has borrowed food and grass, which is really good news. Everyone was surprised and felt incredible. Yuan Shao was also a little confused. He didn't expect that Xu You was so capable that he could borrow food and grass. It was really unexpected.
After suppressing the questions in his mind, Yuan Shaoxi said, "I don't want Ziyuan to accomplish such a great contribution. I will definitely reward him well when he comes back."
Although Tian Feng looked down on Xu You's character, he still nodded in agreement, "It is true that Xu You has made such a great contribution this time and deserves to be rewarded."
Seeing that the food and fodder matter was resolved, Shen Pei was very excited. This would make his lord's great cause more stable.
Guo Jia didn't know when he opened his eyes, and the golden light shone slightly. As for Jizhou, it seems that I can get it easily. I muttered in my heart and fell asleep again.
When Jushou heard the news, he stood up and offered his advice: "My lord, although I have borrowed the grain and grass, it is still a troublesome thing to transport it back. We are in troubled times now, and the world is very chaotic. Thieves have sprung up, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are still there. Transporting so much grain and grass, It will definitely be coveted by others. If you don't send elite soldiers and generals to escort you, I'm afraid it will be unsafe. Please be aware of this, my lord."
Indeed, it is very uneasy now, especially since Jizhou is the birthplace of the Yellow Turbans. I remember that there seemed to be a Black Mountain bandit later who was very powerful and almost killed Yuan Shao. It seemed that we had to guard against this, and Jushou's reminder was too timely.
Yuan Shao then nodded and said, "Where is Junyi?"
Zhang He responded, "Zhang He is here."
"I order you to lead five thousand men and horses to provide Jizhou with food and grass, and there will be no room for failure."
"He takes the order. If there is any mistake, please deal with it as you please," Zhang He issued a military order.
Of course Yuan Shao was very sure of Zhang He's ability, otherwise he wouldn't have let him lead the troops to escort him. Seeing Zhang He's assurance, he felt relieved.
"Please leave it to Junyi to provide you with food and supplies. I will celebrate your success when you come back."
"Thank you, Lord"
Seeing that everyone was immersed in the good news that they had borrowed food and grass, Zhang He had a mission. Although Zhao Yun was very happy, he was still a little disappointed. He stood up and asked for orders, "Lord, we have brought back the ashes of the soldiers, Yun, please order us." Let them rest in peace as soon as possible."
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Yuan Shao reacted and said a little apologetically, "It wasn't Zilong who reminded me, I almost forgot about it. Since Zilong asked for help, I will leave this matter to you with full authority."
"Thank you, Lord, for your trust," Zhao Yun said gratefully after accepting the order.
Seeing that Yuan Shao assigned Zhao Yun and Zhang He important tasks, Zhang Liao and others also reacted and went out to ask for orders.
"Please, my lord, allow me to send my brothers home."
Seeing that all the generals were rushing to ask for orders, Yuan Shao was very pleased. If the general was like this, great achievements would be achieved, so he agreed.
"Okay, then let Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, you two, take my place and send the brothers home to their graves."
"On behalf of our deceased brothers, I would like to thank the lord."
Zhao Yun and others responded in unison, thanking Yuan Shao endlessly.
Everyone was also very pleased. The Lord is so benevolent and righteous, and he will treat us kindly.
Gao Lan had to train soldiers and resettle the people, so naturally he didn't need to arrange tasks. Yan Liang didn't say anything, because he knew that he had only one mission, and that was to protect his lord.
When the senior cadre saw that everyone had tasks but he didn't, he was unhappy and said, "Uncle, you are partial, why am I the only one who doesn't have tasks?"
Seeing him like this, Yuan Shao said with a smile, "Haha, blame me, I forgot to assign a task to our Qianliju. Can you help Mr. Tian Feng deal with the people's affairs?"
Yuan Jia Qianliju, yes, the senior cadre accepted it with satisfaction.
After discussing some more things, everyone went down to get busy. Yuan Shao was a little worried about Zhen Yan and the others. Why was there no news at all? Maybe something happened.
