Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Ju Su was deep in thought when a servant hurriedly handed him a piece of information.

Since the war between the two sides began, Ju Su received at least nearly a hundred military reports every day.

Ju Shou was already accustomed to this. He took the information calmly and waved his hand to signal the person to leave.

He opened the information, took a look at it, and almost jumped up.

What? Liu Huangshu's army has already entered Qingzhou and is now continuously attacking cities and seizing territory?

Not only did Kong Rong of Beihai not resist at all, he also surrendered at the first opportunity.

What surprised Ju Su even more was that Kong Rong also wrote an article of thanks to Yuan Shikai.

Ju Su opened the attached manifesto and read it. He found that the manifesto quoted from classics and was nearly a thousand words long. It not only criticized Yuan Shao for all his shortcomings, but also cursed all the ancestors of the Yuan family.

Ju Su was very clear about Kong Rong's combat capability. It was mediocre. Compared with Yuan's elite Youyan cavalry, he did not have much combat capability at all.

Even though they are having a great time in Qingzhou now, once the army arrives in Qingzhou, it won't take long to stabilize the situation.

What really made Ju Shou feel uncomfortable was this article by Kong Rong.

His writing was like a knife, cutting Yuan Shao's vital points every time.

Kong Rong was a great Confucian scholar and had a strong appeal among the scholars.

More importantly, he is a descendant of Confucius and a representative figure of Confucianism.

Ever since Emperor Wu of Han abolished all other schools of thought and promoted Confucianism alone, Confucianism has been like a long river, flowing continuously across this land.

During this period, too many scholars and literati were born. They were proud of Confucianism and considered themselves to be Confucian disciples. Now that the representative figures of Confucianism have issued a call to them, how can they remain indifferent?

If at this time a group of Confucian scholars changed camp and sided with Liu Bei, Ju Su would not be surprised at all.

This information was too important, Ju Su did not dare to delay, he took the information and walked towards Yuan Shao.

As soon as he walked into the gate of Yuan Shao's mansion, he was stopped outside by servants.

The servant gave a very simple reason: Yuan Shao was discussing matters with Guo Tu and did not see anyone.

This answer surprised Ju Shou very much.

Given his status in Jizhou, he had always been welcomed into the palace. When had he ever been turned away?

Even when Yuan Shao was meeting guests, he could go straight into the meeting room.

Ju Su's face turned pale and he was about to get angry, but he saw Wen Chou walking towards him.

Wen Chou looked at him, and Ju Su understood what he meant.

The two of them returned to Ju Shou's mansion one after the other.

As soon as he entered the door, Wen Chou said, "Lord Ju, something terrible has happened. When Guo Tu went to see the lord, I was there. Although the lord asked me to leave, I have been practicing martial arts for many years and my ears are very sensitive. I just walked a short distance outside the door and I vaguely heard two words. Guo Tu, the bastard, slandered us to the lord, saying that our power is too great and if it is not curbed, it will cause chaos.

I wanted to kill this bastard that day. If it weren't for us brothers fighting for our lord over the years, how could he have the power he has today?"

When Ju Su sensed the strange atmosphere in front of the door, he vaguely realized Yuan Shao's intention. When he heard Wen Chou say it directly, it further confirmed his thoughts.

Seeing Wen Chou still looking indignant, Ju Shou said slowly: "Shu'e, don't be angry. Now is the time to use people. Even if Guo Tu makes suggestions to the lord, the lord will weigh the pros and cons."

Wen Chou nodded. Although he was a military general, he understood the reason.

Today, the military power is in the hands of the Jizhou faction. If Yuan Shao really dares to replace all of the Jizhou faction, it is very likely to cause a mutiny among the soldiers.

But Yuan Shao's temperament is always unpredictable, and no one can know the outcome until this matter is settled.

"Lord Ju, if the lord really takes action against the Jizhou faction, I will personally cut off Guo Tu's head."

"Uncle, don't act recklessly. You still have to focus on the overall situation."

"The overall situation, the overall situation all day long. If it weren't for Lord Ju's repeated indulgence towards them, I have a hundred ways to make them disappear completely." Wen Chou complained a little. In his opinion, the dispute with Guo Tu was not that troublesome.

It was a dark and windy night, a day of murder and arson. Guo Tu was burned to death. Who can find out the truth?

Ju Su smiled bitterly and said, "Shu E, the root of this matter is not Guo Tu, but the master.

"Guo Tu is just a chess piece of the lord. Even if this chess piece is gone, there will be other chess pieces coming. Can you kill them all one by one?"

Wen Fei was speechless for a moment and was unable to say anything.

Although Ju Shou seemed to be calm and composed when talking to Wen Chou, in fact, deep down inside, he was already in turmoil.

Judging from Yuan Shao's attitude, he might really take action this time.

With the war approaching, the positions of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals may not be changed, but it is hard to say what his responsibility as a military supervisor will be.

If one wants to shake the power of Jizhou, the most obvious and effective way is to start with oneself.

Ju Su saw this very clearly.

But he had no choice. Since he followed Yuan Shao, he had placed the fate of his family on Yuan Shao.

If this bet fails, he will most likely face destruction.

Just as Ju Su was thinking secretly, Yuan Shao sent someone to invite Ju Su to his house to discuss matters.

Although Ju Su was surprised, he had no choice but to follow his attendants.

When he entered the hall, Ju Su looked around and saw Yuan Shao sitting in the middle. Below him were two other people, one was Guo Tu and the other was Chunyu Qiong.

Ju Su was not surprised to see Guo Tu at Yuan Shao's house, but Chunyu Qiong's presence made him somewhat confused.

Chunyu Qiong was one of the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan in his early years, just like Yuan Shao. He had the longest seniority among all the generals in Yuan Shao's army. He had a high prestige in the army and was the only one from Yingchuan among all the generals.

Yuan Shao called everyone to discuss the matter, but only allowed Chunyu Qiong to be present. It was obvious that this arrangement had a profound meaning.

After Ju Su bowed, Yuan Shao motioned for him to take a seat. Then he slowly asked, "Gonglu, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"My lord, please speak."

Yuan Shao said slowly: "Now, Uncle Liu and I have been confronting each other on both sides of Liyang for many days, but we have not made any progress. This makes me very anxious.

Gong Ze came to advise that our army was already strong, but the reason why we are not victorious now is because we are separated by this river and cannot bring out the full strength of the Youyan cavalry. If we want to bring out the maximum strength, we must send some troops to Yanjin. "

Yanjin is not far from Liyang, only two hundred miles away, but the biggest difference between Yanjin and Liyang is that there is a Yellow River ferry crossing to the south of Yanjin City. Once the two armies go to war, Yuan’s army can take advantage of the ferry and quickly reach the south bank of the Yellow River.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, seeing that Ju Su remained silent, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and asked calmly, "What do you think of sending troops to Yanjin?"
