After Yuan Shu listened to the report of Lu Zhi's scouts, he did not expect that so much time had passed. Youzhou City has not been breached as in history, which means that there are probably people like Huangpu Song, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei in Youzhou City now.
Of course, the person who intrigued Yuan Shu the most was Liu Bei. He also wants to see why the current Liu Bei is qualified to be called the Han Zhaolie Emperor in the future, and he should have his own answer to the question of whether Liu Bei is truly benevolent or false.
Instead of following the same opinions as other netizens did in my previous life.
Now that I have come to a place like the Three Kingdoms, I should make my own judgment. Moreover, what made him most curious was whether Liu Bei still had sworn brothers.
After he was poached by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in advance, how would the traces of history be changed?
Moreover, Zhang Jiao's so-called 300,000 Yellow Turban Army was nothing in Yuan Shu's eyes. Because this time the cavalry included powerful cavalry that he had spent half a million gold to buy, and their predecessor was the Iron Buddha.
Although there were only 500 men, the cavalry composed of these 500 men and the remaining 4,500 men was Yuan Shu's greatest confidence.
Once these cavalry take action, they will definitely sweep through Zhang Jiao's 300,000-strong army. Moreover, for Yuan Shu, he, the Nanyang Prefecture Mu, just needed a piece of military exploits to silence the officials in the imperial court.
After all, none of the officials or the nobles behind them would agree to the fact that he could become the Nanyang Prefect.
After all, the position of a state pastor puts too much pressure on them. What's more, the Yuan family now has three most important positions as court officials.
Yuan Shu's uncle, Yuan Wei, was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, and his predecessor Yuan Shao also became the Grand Tutor of Jizhou not long ago. Therefore, Yuan Shu's emergence as a state pastor was unacceptable to them.
Even the general He Jin couldn't help but curse, even though the Yuan family was his ally.
Yuan Shu: "Wen He, what do you think?"
"If what this guy says is true, then this is a great opportunity for us all."
"Moreover, I sit in the position of state pastor. In the past year, the officials in the court have basically never stopped trying to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his decree."
"So, this is an opportunity for us. An opportunity for me to firmly sit in Nanyang State Shepherd."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes were different. This means that they can truly become princes and ministers.
Become a real general, and a general rewarded by the court.
Jia Xu: "My lord, don't be anxious. We will find out whether this is true or not as soon as we investigate."
"If true, this is a real opportunity for us."
"Moreover, it also allows us to have a good image among the people in the world. If done properly, the Lord can gain both fame and fortune."
A counselor is a counselor, and naturally he can think of many more things. What Jia Xu wanted was to use this battle to completely spread Yuan Shu's reputation among the people.
By then, Yuan Shu's purchase of an official position will naturally be forgotten, and the matter will be dropped. The people will only remember Nanyang Prefecture Mu Yuan Shu as a great hero. There is no doubt about this.
As for the superior master, there is no need to worry about this at all. After all, Yuan Shu had already told him that before long, even if the Yellow Turban Army did not rebel, he, Yuan Shu, would.
Therefore, the issue of being the master with superior merit can be ignored. After all, no one here cares about this issue.
Yuan Shu: "Oh, that's the case. Then Wen He, please tell us your opinion!"
Naturally, Jia Xu will not be polite, because now is the time for him to show off.
Jia Xu: "Lord, this matter is actually very simple."
"What we have to do is to maximize this matter and let everyone in the world know that the lord is a hero."
"As for whether what this scout said is true. We will let our scouts find out the truth and falsehood. The next step is for us to operate."
"After the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, there will definitely be prisoners. And the lord can take advantage of the opportunity to take away thirty to fifty thousand warriors. In addition to the Yellow Turban Army's family members, there will be hundreds of thousands of them."
"These people are Nanyang's newly added population and labor force. The most important thing is what the lord said when he took them away."
"If the lord says that they are sinners, then they are sinners. If the lord says that they can reform their ways and give them fields to cultivate, then they are people."
“This is killing three birds with one stone.”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Yuan Shu also thought carefully about what Jia Xu had just said. In other words, let yourself appear as a saint in front of others and be the savior in this famine year.
And, this is indeed a good approach. First of all, Nanyang has increased its population and labor force, and its reputation for loving the people has also been established.
The most important thing is Nanyang, which gave these refugees hope of life. And I only need to pay some food, which may be a burden to others.
But for me, this is no problem at all.
Yuan Shu: "Second brother, third brother. What do you think?"
Guan Yu: "Brother, Mr. Jia Xu said it very well."
"I have nothing to say. If I go out and kill the enemy, that's my home court."
Zhang Fei also echoed: "Brother, second brother is right. We are good at killing enemies, but Mr. Jia Xu is still better in terms of strategy and wisdom."
During the year when Yuan Shu was the shepherd of Nanyang Prefecture, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had seen the methods of Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.
To both of them, these two men were like walking judges. If you are not careful, you may be betrayed by these two people, so Zhang Fei and Guan Yu each agreed not to offend these two guys.
Therefore, regarding Yuan Shu’s question. They didn't think about what to say. After all, if they raised their opinions, they would probably offend Jia Xu.
Yuan Shu: "Okay, since you have no objection. Let's do it like this. If it is confirmed that it is General Lu Zhi, then our army will move forward."
"If not, then let the other party become the nourishment for our army."
"Wen He, go ahead and execute it!"
The army in Yuan Shu's hands now is not the ones who just started to lead out of the city, all of them have already seen Xue. Moreover, just to be on the safe side, Yuan Shu quietly added 500 Tiefutu cavalry on the road.
As for the original cavalry, they were naturally replaced. But they didn't die, they were just exchanged for gold by Yuan Shu.
To put it simply, he was acquired by the system for a hundred gold each, and he didn’t even know which world he went to.
Of course, these replaced people are orphans. There is no one he cares about anymore in this world, otherwise Yuan Shu wouldn't be so cruel.
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, Jia Xu went out to carry out the matter. Yuan Shu's army spread out and rested on the spot, waiting for new news.
And the scout under General Lu Zhi is still tied up outside. After all, he still couldn't let the other party know about these things, even though he was still just a scout now.
Lu Zhi: "A bunch of losers, they don't even know that there is one less person in their team."
"I really don't know what you are doing for food. Go and find each other's bodies or people immediately."
"Look back and don't miss any corner."
After Lu Zhi finished scolding, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this missing point scout is not responsible for the defense line of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao, so there is no need to worry about his side being exposed for the time being.
Because the probability is not high enough, after all, now except Youzhou and Qingzhou. Even if there is a Yellow Turban Army in other places, it is a very small group of people, and it is impossible to take action against their own army.
Moreover, the other party will not be his opponent. Lu Zhi was still confident about this, but he guessed that his friendly forces had captured the scout. But I just don’t know which one it is. This is also Lu Zhi’s own inner expectation.
Moreover, he didn't think of it himself. He had only been away for one night when he was the deputy general. Those ineffective guys were full of loopholes, and they were directly captured by guys who didn't know whether they were friendly forces or not.
At this time, Lu Zhi also calmed down. After all, even getting angry could not solve this problem. Now I can only pray that the person who catches the opponent is not an enemy, otherwise I will easily fall into a situation where I am attacked from both sides.
Suddenly, a soldier came in and reported: "General, our scouts in the Yellow Turban Army said that the Yellow Turban Army will launch an attack tonight."
"The other party wants to sneak attack at night, and they don't want to continue to entangle."
After the scout finished speaking, Lu Zhi's just relaxed mood became heavy again. After all, if Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to attack tonight, he would have no time at all.
There is also no choice, unless you give up Youzhou DMV and drink the people in the city. But he, Lu Zhi, couldn't do it, not to mention that Lu Zhi and Huangpu Song were once the best classmates.
There were at least tens of thousands of people in Youzhou City, and he really couldn't bear to let the Yellow Turban Army massacre all the people in the city.
Therefore, Lu Zhi had no choice at all. In the end, there is only one way, and that is to fight.
On Yuan Shu's side, he just needs to verify whether what the scout who just caught the point said is true or false. If it is true, then Yuan Shu can join forces with Lu Zhi to attack the Yellow Turban Army.
But if everything is fake, then Yuan Shu's five hundred iron pagodas and cavalry are not vegetarians. They will be trampled directly into corpses by war horses and cavalry. This is Yuan Shu's confidence.
This kind of confidence currently only belongs to Yuan Shu. After all, he is the only one with such confidence who has enough confidence.
