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

Seeing Zhang Fei's eagerness to fight, Liu Yu said calmly: "Although we have burned the grain in Wuchao, Yuan Shao's camp is still as solid as a rock. Yuan Shao is surrounded by many soldiers. Although Yide is brave, it is impossible for him to lead his men to sneak into Yuan Shao's army and capture him alive."

"Uncle, I am not bragging, but in my eyes, the soldiers under Yuan Shao are nothing but chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning at all. As long as I use the password to sneak into Yuan Shao's camp, taking Yuan Shao's head will be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

Liu Yu looked at Zhang Fei who was bragging with a cold look in his eyes and said, "Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shu. He is far from being deserted by his friends and relatives. It is impossible for Yide to kill him. There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Come back to the camp with me immediately."

Yuan Shao dominates the four northern states and has a deep foundation. Don't even think about taking his life now. Even if he is defeated this time, he is still not inferior in terms of strength.

Historically, after Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu, his basic base was still there, regardless of what the results would be if he worked hard to govern the country.

As long as he keeps calm and doesn't act recklessly, it will be impossible for Cao Cao to annex the four northern states in the short term.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was too arrogant to accept the defeat and soon fell ill and passed away.

Liu Yu even believed that as long as Yuan Shao designated a successor and properly handled internal conflicts before his death, the Yuan family would still have a chance to stand out in this era.

It can be said that Yuan Shao’s failure was not because he chose the wrong option, but because he completely missed all the correct options.

……

……

After a long period of chaos, peace finally returned to Yuan Shao's camp.

After a series of events, Yuan Shao finally realized that the chaos in the camp was deliberately created by Liu Yu in order to break his ambush in Wuchao.

His goal from the very beginning was Wuchao.

Before Xu You left, he vowed that this plan would definitely fool Liu Yu, but now it seems that he still underestimated Liu Yu's wisdom.

Zhang He suggested sending troops to rescue Wuchao. Once Wuchao was destroyed, all the food and grass would be destroyed, and the huge army would inevitably be difficult to maintain.

Guo Tu suggested that while Liu Huangshu was out with his men, they should attack Liu Huangshu's camp and kill his soldiers. As long as they could break the camp, victory would be certain.

Yuan Shao was a little hesitant. To be exact, every time Yuan Shao faced a choice, he would hesitate.

After a long ideological struggle, Yuan Shu agreed to Guo Tu's plan and let Zhang He lead his troops to attack Liu Yu's camp.

Even though the soldiers who were ambushing were recalled from Wuchao, the defense of Wuchao itself was not low. Yuan Shao had confidence in Chunyu Qiong. He believed that this veteran would use his calmness and composure to repel Liu Yu's attack.

When Ju Shou heard the news, his face turned pale. He knew that this failure was inevitable. What kind of a person was Liu Huangshu? The soldiers under his command were brave and powerful. They were very strong both individually and as a team. The most important thing was that they had strict military discipline. No other army in this era could match them.

How could an army composed of such a group of people be defeated in such a short period of time?

If it could be easily conquered, why would we have to wait until today?

He hurriedly brought him into Yuan Shao's tent, and looking at Guo Tu's flattering face, he felt a bit of contempt in his heart.

He forced himself to calm his anger and went to Yuan Shao to give him advice.

"My lord, now that all the food and grass have been destroyed, we are no longer able to fight hard here. The most urgent task is to leave an ambush to cover the retreat of the army to the north. Only in this way can we preserve our strength as much as possible, regroup, and fight with Uncle Liu in the future."

Before Yuan Shao could answer, Guo Tu snorted coldly and said, "General Zhang has just led his troops to attack the enemy camp, and the military supervisor is here to destroy the morale of the army. I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Those who know him may think that the military supervisor is worried about something important, while those who don't know him may think that he is a scout sent by the enemy."

Guo Tu's words were extremely sinister. They seemed to be explaining the problem in a casual manner, but in fact, the meaning revealed in his words made Yuan Shao suspicious.

Sure enough, after hearing what Guo Tu said, Yuan Shao's face instantly became gloomy.

"Gonglu, Uncle Liu led his troops to attack Wuchao, so the camp must be empty. In this battle, I will mobilize the elite troops in the camp, how can we not win?"

"My lord, wise monarchs since ancient times often worry about defeat before going to war. If we cannot break through the enemy's camp in this battle, what should I do?"

"Even if we can't win, I have hundreds of thousands of troops at my side. It won't be too late to retreat back to Jizhou."

"Now that food and grass are in short supply, if hundreds of thousands of troops cannot quickly retreat to Jizhou, if there is a slight delay, the soldiers will inevitably flee in order to survive. How should the lord respond then?"

Ju Su was somewhat distressed. He said that fleeing in all directions was still a relatively ideal situation. Lack of food in the army was a matter of life and death. If one was not careful, it would cause mutiny among the soldiers.

Yuan Shao felt that the situation was a bit tricky after hearing this. He was thinking with his head down when Guo Tu said, "My lord, there is no need to worry about this matter. General Zhang will lead the troops to fight and will surely win the battle. We only need to defeat Emperor Liu and we can get all his supplies. Will we still be worried about not having food by then?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought it made sense!

As long as he can defeat Liu Bei, not only the food, but all the land under his rule will be his.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao regained his composure and confidence.

"Gonglu, you are hesitant and indecisive, and you are not capable of accomplishing anything. I have already made a decision on this matter, so please withdraw for now."

Ju Su looked at Yuan Shao's slightly cold face and was speechless for a moment.

He recalled how Yuan Shao had asked him for advice when he first took control of Jizhou, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Yuan Shao sat down at an empty seat in the middle of the night and asked him about the affairs of the world.

He thought he had met a wise leader, and he would tell him everything he knew. After only a short conversation, Yuan Shao praised him highly.

It was according to his own plan that Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou step by step, wiped out the Black Mountain bandits, defeated Gongsun Zan, and finally reached the current level.

It wasn't long after that, but in Yuan Shao's eyes, his plan was seen as a sign of lack of ambition. How ridiculous, really ridiculous!

……

……

While Ju Su was admonishing Yuan Shao, Zhang He had already led a large army to attack Liu Yu's camp.

Although he did not advocate attacking the camp at first, now that the food and grass had been destroyed, the army had no way to retreat. He also knew that only a great victory in this battle could reverse all this.

Zhang He stood in the team, his body covered in blood, his eyes filled with endless flames, like a god of death.

"Today's battle ends with death. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Under Zhang He's momentum, the soldiers became extremely brave and they rushed towards the opposite camp like a tide.
