The big man is on the run

Chapter 142

"My lord, Zhu Jun has already stationed in Xie County. This time, Zhu Jun is taking the place of the emperor to lead the army. The banners of Duan Yan and Dong Cheng are all in Xie County."

Jushou suppressed his anger and reported the latest information on the south to Yuan Shao.

All of this was due to Yuan Shao's delay. Not only was Yuan Shao delayed for a day, but also the army was unable to conquer Fenyin, which led to the continuous flow of reinforcements from the imperial court entering Hedong through Pubandu.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Tell me, if we go south to fight against the county and Puban, remove the siege of Baibo Valley and block Zhang Yan's southward movement, how many soldiers and horses will we have to send to achieve our goal?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't insist on going his own way, but still wanted to act according to his plan, Ju Shou finally let go of the resentment in his heart and analyzed it for Yuan Shao.

"My lord, although there are many imperial troops entering Hedong, we now have [-] troops on hand. In addition, our food and grass have been transported up. We have already occupied these places in Pi's, Linfen, and Fenyin. What to do?" The most important thing is to gather troops to take down Sangquan City and Jiexian County. With our current strength, we can take these places easily. As long as we take these places, we will be able to continuously obtain food and grass without any worries, and quickly surround the imperial court. The army at the east of the river.

Without Pubandu and Fenglingdu, the imperial court will no longer be able to send troops to reinforce Hedong. At that time, we can use the encirclement from the north and the west, and cooperate with Chunyuqiong's partial division in the east to encircle all areas of Hedong County. Occupied, in this way, our army can recover quickly, and my lord can use Hedong County as a base to attack the Southern Huns in Xihe County and the Black Mountain Army in Taiyuan County to the north. "

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, but still felt a little dissatisfied.

Although Yuan Shao's small mistake has caused some "insignificant" consequences on the scene, of course, he doesn't think it's a mistake, it's just necessary stability.

But it is undeniable that Yuan Shao still holds a huge advantage no matter in terms of military strength or situation.

The second Battle of Hedong, not to mention September [-], in Yuan Shao's view, it was at least [-].

"At present, the imperial court's troops are gathered in Jie County, Sangquan City, and Xia City in the south. If they attack by force, they may suffer losses. Is there any other plan?"

Ju Shou thought for a while, but it really made him come up with an idea.

"My lord, we can go all the way."

"Sound from east to west?"

Jushou nodded and explained: "That's right, our army can send a part of the army to act with agitation, pretending to cross the river from Fenyin in a big way, to threaten Yangxia on the other side of the Yellow River, and make the imperial court think that our army is going to attack Guanzhong. Cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.

"In fact, our army has to move quickly, go directly south, don't understand the county, and go straight to Puban. This is called attacking the east and attacking the west. In this way, it is equivalent to controlling the entire east of the Yellow River. The Lord can also Control the movement here. At that time, the Lord only needs to send a general to guard Puban, and then lead the army directly to Anyi and Jie County in the central area of ​​​​Hedong County, and then besiege the city. Being surrounded and annihilated in Hedong County, the Lord can take over the territory of Hedong County logically."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

Jushou's suggestion is indeed perfect.

"Hahaha, this suggestion is very good. In this way, we can quickly control the entire territory of Hedong County, and there are still so many people in Jie County and Anyi. These people will be mine in the future People, as for the defenders of those cities, if they can submit to me, then the combat effectiveness of our army will be greatly improved, and we will have a vanguard that can be used to deal with the Black Mountain Army. Yes, this method is indeed feasible. "

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, but Ju Shou looked at his face and continued.

"Moreover, my lord, the key to this battle is the speed of your troops. After making the stance of crossing the river to attack Yangxia, you must rush to Puban quickly. We don't need to fight too eagerly for quick success. After all, our goal is Hedong County. We It is inappropriate to have a head-on conflict with some local neutral forces, and we don’t need to spend a lot of effort to recruit them, and the towns along the way can be abandoned, as long as we take down Pubandu, which has the largest transport capacity and the official army relies on to maintain the supply line.”

It can be said that Ju Shou was well-intentioned, and it is impossible to deceive a famous general like Zhu Jun for too long with such a strategy, so he must be quick, and he must rush to Pubandu quickly, but Yuan Shao is a slow-tempered person. Decisions usually take a long time and are fickle, which makes him a little worried, whether Yuan Shao will agree to it again, and then do something wrong for him.

Thinking of this, Ju Shou said anxiously: "My lord, why not leave it to me to take charge of the attack on Puban this time, and I will definitely be able to catch the officers and soldiers by surprise."

Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, which meant that he had become vigilant.

Yuan Shao, the most important thing is military power.

What I am most afraid of is that the Jizhou faction will further expand in the army.

However, Yuan Shao kept his face on the surface, and even asked Jushou with a smile.

"Well, not bad, but who are you going to send to attack Pusaka?"

"My lord, have you forgotten? Over the past few years, my lord has entrusted General Yan Liang to train a lot of powerful subordinates. I sent them to attack Puban. If we can quickly defeat the defenders of Puban, then we can completely cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers."

After hearing Jushou's words, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed a light.

"Hehe, if that's the case, I've wronged you. I hope you can win a big victory in this battle."

Ju Shou nodded and said, "Master, I will try my best."

"Okay, then I'm counting on you. If possible, you can send half of my elite unit 'Euphorbis' to help out. In this way, we can be more secure."

A smile appeared on Ju Shou's face, and he quickly agreed, but in his heart, he became more and more uneasy.

The euphorbia warriors belonged to the heavy infantry, and the commander was Zhang Xi, an elite unit in Yuan Shao's army. Every soldier was equipped with euphorbias and heavy armor, and each euphorbia warrior was one of the best in a hundred.

But the problem is, Zhang Yun is dealing with the Baibo Army, and Gao Lan is dealing with the Black Mountain Army, why should Zhang Yun's troops be transferred?
And even if the euphorbia soldiers came here day and night after receiving the order, it would take more than a day!

In Jushou's heart, he was almost desperate.

Familiar taste, familiar mixed with sand, familiar party and difference.

"Okay, I'll give you an order now, you go and mobilize your troops. I think with the help of the Euphorbia warriors, this battle will be more secure."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao drove away Jushou, and at the same time summoned Guo Tuxinpi and others, and told his counselors what he thought in his heart, and asked them to discuss together.

After Yuan Shao told his counselors about his thoughts, these people all agreed with Yuan Shao's plan, thinking that Yuan Shao's move could effectively prevent the Jizhou faction from getting bigger. To build a new city, move the surrounding people to the newly built city.

In this way, the power of the officials, the army and the people can be exhausted.

In this way, on the third day, Ju Shou led [-] elite troops to fight towards Pubandu in a mighty manner.
