After understanding this, Jia Xu naturally did not hesitate at all. It can also be said that he has a clear vision. He immediately followed Yuan Shao's words and expressed his agreement.
"What the lord said is true, and Xu also believes that it is true. The matter is urgent, so please take action quickly, lord, and return to Yecheng as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"
Yuan Shao was waiting for Jia Xu's words. Now after hearing Jia Xu's voice of agreement, he was naturally very happy and proud. He immediately agreed with a smile and made a decision.
"Well, in that case, without further delay, please ask the military advisor to inform Gu's army and take action immediately. The army will set off and march towards Yecheng!"
"It's my lord, I'll take the order!" After receiving the order, Jia Xu immediately withdrew without any hesitation and took the order.
Before Jia Xu left, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to shout loudly to Dian Wei outside the camp. The order to set off the army immediately and return to Yecheng was passed on to Dian Wei, asking him to make preparations in advance to prevent any eventuality.
"Send the order, the army will gather immediately and march towards Yecheng quickly, without any mistakes!"
"It's my lord. I will obey your orders. Please rest assured, lord!" The natural response from outside the tent was Dian Wei's respectful voice, which was high-pitched and meticulous.
Soon, Yuan Shao's order to march to Yecheng spread throughout the entire army, and the army quickly gathered and acted according to the order.
"My lord has given an order. The army must gather immediately and send troops to Yecheng. There must be no mistake!"
"My lord has ordered that all the troops must gather immediately and return to Yecheng? Don't neglect it!"
"According to the order of the lord, the army immediately takes action and marches towards Yecheng. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be subject to military law!"
"Is that your order? I obey, little one!"
"It's your lord, we're here to serve!"
"Please don't worry, my lord? We dare not obey your orders!"
Following Yuan Shao's order, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops quickly gathered together. Yuan Shao gave another order, and the army immediately took action and rushed back towards Yecheng without stopping.
Tap tap tap—
Because they were worried about the situation in Yecheng, the entire army kept running non-stop along the way? It looked like they were riding fast and whipping their whips, and they were silent all the way.
Yecheng, Fifteen Mile Bridge? To be precise, it is no more than fifteen miles away from Yecheng.
Since the army was accelerating along the way, it could be said that it was sleeping in the open air. It didn't look like it had a good rest, it just seemed like it was hurrying up and taking double the route.
By the time we got here, we were already exhausted and had to stop to rest. It is also because Yecheng is in sight, so there is no need to be so anxious. It is also time to take a break.
"My lord, the army has been marching for days and is very tired. It urgently needs a good rest. Besides, Yecheng is in sight, and it won't be less than a day or two. Please tell me, lord!"
There was no need for Yuan Shao to speak. As the military advisor of the army, Jia Xu had already thought of what was ahead of him. Just as he arrived at the Shififili Bridge, Jia Xu stood up to Yuan Shao and asked for instructions.
Before Yuan Shao could say anything, Dian Wei and Hu Che'er looked at each other and started making suggestions together, agreeing very much with Jia Xu's opinion.
"What the military advisor said is absolutely true. The army has arrived here and is very tired. Please give me a clear judgment, my lord!"
"Please tell me, Lord, it is really not easy for the army to get here, and the brothers are also very tired!"
This coincides with Yuan Shao's thoughts, and it also speaks to Yuan Shao's heart. This is exactly what he planned. So Yuan Shao answered the question with a smile and expressed his stance without hesitation, and he agreed at that time.
"What you all said is true. Gu Shen agrees. Send the order and the army will be stationed on the spot for repairs. Let's set off again after we have rested!"
"My lord is wise, and I admire you greatly!"
"My lord, I have learned from you, and I will obey your orders!"
"Thank you so much, lord. I will take my brothers to thank you lord!"
After hearing Yuan Shao's affirmative answer and getting Yuan Shao's agreement, Jia Xu, including Dian Wei and Hu Che'er, were very happy and quickly expressed their praise and obeyed the order.
Strike while the iron is hot, Yuan Shao immediately issued another order, "Pass an order to the isolated army. The army will be stationed in place for two days. After two days, it must set out for Yecheng. Violation of military law will be punished!"
After hearing Yuan Shao's murderous order, Dian Wei and the others were awed and did not dare to neglect, and immediately expressed their stance.
"I obey my orders, Lord, please rest assured!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"The general will get the order!"
"Go down and carry out the order!"
"It's my lord!"
So, under Yuan Shao's orders, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops camped here, preparing to rest for two days before returning to Yecheng to clean up the overall situation.
Why do you need to rest for two days, or in this place not far or near Yecheng? All this should be Yuan Shao's trick, or it can be said to be Yuan Shao's carefully designed plan.
After all, the situation in Yecheng is unclear now, and rashly leading the army back to the city, although there is no problem, does not make any sense.
You know, the royalists in Yecheng are already ready to take action at this moment, and they seem to be about to take action. If only at this time, they knew about Yuan Shao and his return to Yecheng. He will definitely continue to lurk, not daring to move, until the time is right.
But now, after what Yuan Shao did, the entire royalist forces in Yecheng suddenly became agitated, and they did whatever they had to do. This was actually Yuan Shao's purpose.
Why take two days off? This is another purpose and plan of Yuan Shao.
On the one hand, it is two days, which is just enough for the soldiers under his command to repair themselves.
Another is that Yecheng is not far from here. When the army is allowed to rest, reliable personnel can be sent to inquire about the situation in Yecheng first, so as to be prepared in case of any unexpected events.
The above is Yuan Shao's entire purpose, and it is also why Yuan Shaoneng agreed so boldly that the army can be repaired in place. This is Yuan Shao's purpose, and it is what Yuan Shao has carefully considered.
After thinking about this, he saw the entire army going down to rest in an orderly manner, which made Yuan Shao very happy and very proud.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Shao issued another order from Yuan Shao's mouth.
"Send an order to the Shadow Guards to set off immediately to investigate the specific situation in Yecheng. There must be no mistakes!"
"It's my lord. Shadow Guard understands. Please rest assured, lord, and promise to complete the mission!"
"This should be foolproof. The next step is to wait for Yecheng to pass on the specific situation, and then discuss the specific method!"
"When that time comes, it's not too late to discuss the plan carefully. As for now, it's better to take a good rest in preparation for the next big move!"
After giving the order, Yuan Shao thought about it again, and after finding that there was no problem, he began to become arrogant and proud again.
"Haha, all this is under Gu's control. There is no problem and everything is guaranteed!"
