The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 349 The Yanjin Conspiracy
Yan Liang was extremely brave, and it was Xiahou Dun who helped Teng Kan take over Yan Liang in the end. Xia Houyuan, who had fought the wheel battle to the end, was also ready to go. Xiahou Dun had only fought Yan Liang for six rounds, when it was heard that Lu Junyi called for gold to retreat, and Yan Liang made a false move. Retired into the white horse with Lu Junyi.

Cao Cao watched the white horse being breached, and Lu Junyi calmly retreated into the white horse with a heavy face, but it was getting late and he could only order to set up camp.

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao and his counselors discussed the battle situation. If the white horse lost Liu Yan and died, then his strategic intention to rescue the white horse was meaningless. Cao Cao felt the power of the famous Hebei generals in today's battle, and defeated Liu Yan, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Li Jin in succession. , Cao Cao of Weihe and others felt that it was of little significance to stay in Baima with a large army.

The purpose of the eastward attack was to rescue the siege of Baima, but now the white horses were lost. What's more, Cao Hong sent someone to deliver a rescue letter to Cao Cao overnight. It turned out that after Cao Cao's easterly attack attracted some of Wen Chou and Zhang He's troops to Yanjin, Cao Cao left with the main force.

Seeing that Cao Cao's main force was not there, Wen Chou and Zhang Yun suggested that they simply surround Yanjin and attack. Yuan Shao's military strength was too great. We can only ask Cao Cao for help.

"My lord! The white horse is lost and Yanjin is in danger. The spies from Hebei came to report that Yuan Shao had already hoarded 10,000 people in Liyang to cross the Yellow River. Why don't our army rescue Cao Hong in Yanjin and abandon the white horse and Yanjin? Long Yuan Shao supplies, the [-]+ army consumes a lot of food and grass, my lord confronts Yuan Shao's main force at Guandu, and sends Miaocai (Xiahouyuan's word Miaocai) light cavalry to attack Yuan Shao's supplies, and Yuan Shao will retreat when there is not enough food and grass."

Following Xun You's strategy of attacking the west, Guo Jia also proposed to abandon the line along the Yellow River under such circumstances, and suggested that Cao Cao should stick to Guandu.

Cao Cao has two military purposes for rescuing the white horse. The first is to rescue Liu Yan. There is no doubt that if he does not save the generals in the garrison, it will be a heavy blow to morale. Cao Cao will never do it. The second is to control the Yellow River defense line to stop it as much as possible. Yuan Shao's army crossed the Yellow River south.

But now that the loss of the white horse makes these two strategic intentions come to naught, it is obviously unrealistic to counterattack the white horse. As long as Lu Junyi defends the city, Yuan Shao's continuous reinforcements will come. How can Cao Cao resist Yuan Shao's army while attacking the city.

Now that the defense line of the Yellow River has been breached, it is better to move the battle to Guandu and lengthen Yuan Shao's supply line. Guandu's terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Yuan Shao's army is guarded here, Yuan Shao's army will not be able to go beyond one step. After sending light cavalry to attack Yuan Shao's grain road, 10,000+ Yuan Shao had no choice but to retreat as soon as the army's food and grass were eaten.

Guo Jia's remonstrance was approved by Cao Cao, and he decided to go to Yanjin to rescue Cao Hong after a night's rest, and then gave up Baima and Yanjin and retreated to Guandu. Otherwise, the bravery of Yan Liang and Lu Junyi today, coupled with the loss of the white horse, would have lowered the morale of the army.

And Lu Junyi wrote the battle report of Cao Cao's main force appearing in Baima, as well as today's battle situation, and sent it to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was very happy to see Lu Junyi and Yan Liang beheading Cao Cao's generals, and took down the white horse. He told all the counselors the good news. Yuan Shao thought it was a clear decision to invite Lu Junyi out of the mountain. Hebei Yuqilin Lu Junyi's ability is worthy of him With his fame, his subordinates will naturally publicize his insight again.

Sure enough, Guo Tu, Xu You and others who knew Yuan Shao's nature began to brag about "Yuan Shao is wise and powerful", but Jushou shouted that it was not good when he saw the battle report!
"My lord! Not good! Lu Junyi has made a mistake, Wen Chou is brave but has a bad temper and is not good at leading the army. Although he is assisted by Zhang He, Zhang He is soft-spoken, unlike Lu Junyi who makes Wen Chou admire him. Cao Cao must take advantage of him to lead an army alone!"

At this time, Yuan Shao was complacent and self-satisfied because of Lu Junyi's small victory being touted by Guo Tu and Feng Ji. He recruited Lu Junyi as much as Xiao Hehui, who knew Han Xin.

Jushou said that Lu Junyi made a mistake, and Wen Chou should not be allowed to lead the army alone. He was completely judging the situation and was anxious about the current situation.

But Yuan Shao was very unhappy, thinking that Ju Shou touched his face deliberately, and his originally smiling face became very gloomy.

"Ju Shou is surprised by this statement. Yan Liang and Wen Choujie are famous generals in Hebei. How can they not be alone with their inappropriate courage? What's more, with Zhang Yun's support, they will be safe."

"Wen Chou is irritable by nature. Although he is brave, he is not good at leading troops. Yan Liang has a narrow personality. Although he is brave, he cannot be used alone. Unlike Lu Junyi, Zhang Yun can make Yan Liang and Wen Chou admire. Wen Chou will definitely not listen to what Zhang He says."

"enough!"

Yuan Shao had a gloomy face and forcibly ended the quarrel between Jushou and Feng Ji. Jushou was shocked when he saw Yuan Shao's face. Although Jushou was not as upright as Tian Feng, he had been relying on Yuan Shao for so many years and knew Yuan Shao's character, but he had just ignored it in his desperation. at this point.

"My lord...", "Get down!"

Jushou wanted to save him, but Yuan Shao ordered him to be kicked out of the military tent as soon as he said a word. Knowing Yuan Shao's character, Jushou stopped talking and quit the military tent on his own.

"I hope it's my fault this time!" Ju Shou looked towards Yanjin and muttered to himself.

If Lu Heng really wanted to comfort Xia Jushou here, it would definitely be a tragedy for a counselor to let the counselor take no action after judging the situation as a superior, but hoping that his own judgment would be wrong!sad!

"My lord, Jushou has a great influence in the army. I'm afraid that this word will be heard by Lu Junyi, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou..."

Guo Tu said halfway through, just clearly pointing out that Jushou has a very good position in the army, so that's enough!
Sure enough, Yuan Shao, who was angry, ordered that he was in the position of military advisor, and changed to Fengji as a military advisor. Guo Tu saw his plan and even made Fengji's wedding dress, his face was cloudy. But the matter is over, this incident can only be done In this way, Yuan Shao will definitely become suspicious in the future, and the position of military adviser will be planning next time.

Guo Tu was confident that he could make Ju Shou lose his trust, so he also had the chance to make Feng Ji lose his trust.

Jushou was already a little disheartened and sighed deeply, but after hearing Yuan Shao's follow-up order, he became even more annoyed and suddenly fell ill, and refused to attend the military meeting several times in a row.

This time, there is no need for Guo Tu to provoke Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao heard that Ju Shou dared to be so 'rigid', he did not give himself face. Since he is sick, he should take good care of his illness!He also ordered that all the positions of Jushou should be dismissed, and the Jushou army he belonged to should be handed over to Guo Tu for management.

From then on, Jushou was completely relieved of all duties by Yuan Shao, and he was just a cold-eyed idler in the army, and sometimes even the military meeting would forget that there was such a person as Jushou.
