Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing three times after receiving Yuan Shu's letter asking for help.

"Yuan Jiujiu, Yuan Jiujiu, you have been talking about being the legitimate son of the Yuan family all day long, and now you are beaten like this by an eunuch. It is really an embarrassment to my Yuan family!"

Yuan Shao first mocked Yuan Shu, and then passed on his letter asking for help for all the soldiers and counselors to read.

After everyone read it, they all laughed disdainfully.

After reading this, Guo Tu laughed disdainfully: "This Yuan Gongli was so arrogant that he proclaimed himself emperor. Now he is beaten to the point of running away, so he can only ask for help from his lord."

Yan Liang, who was on the side, also echoed: "Yuan Gongli has a beautiful thought. Before, he had always looked down on the lord and did not want to acknowledge the identity of the eldest son of the lord Yuan."

"Now that he was beaten to the point of life and death, he finally remembered that he and his lord are brothers of the same race?"

Obviously, Yuan Shao's generals and counselors looked down upon Yuan Shu, an arrogant guy.

At this time, Yuan Shao was in a good mood after learning that Yuan Shu had been beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms.

In addition, he had fought Gongsun Zan several times before and returned with great victories.

Now Gongsun Zan is no longer a big threat to Yuan Shao, and he can destroy him at any time.

"Yuan Shu suffered a disastrous defeat, and Gongsun Zan also lost the capital to compete with me. This is really a double happiness! Send the order and have a banquet to celebrate!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand and asked people to prepare a banquet to celebrate these happy things.

But at this moment, Jushou stood up and said, "Lord, please listen to me!"

"Oh? What do you want to say to me?" Yuan Shao was in a good mood and asked directly with a smile.

"My lord, I think you should send troops to help Yuan Shu!" Jushou said respectfully.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed, including Yuan Shao who was sitting in the main seat.

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, stared at Jushou and asked, "Gongyu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, my lord, please send troops south to attack Cao Cao to break Yuan Shu's siege!" Ju Shou spoke respectfully again.

But Yuan Shao got angry directly: "Nonsense! This Yuan Shu is a traitor who rebels against the Han and is self-reliant. If I help him, wouldn't I also become a traitor who rebels against the Han?"

As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Guo Tu on the side jumped out and accused Jushou: "Jushou, you are trying to get the lord to help Yuan Shu because you want to trap the lord into a place of disloyalty and injustice. What are your intentions?"

Ju Shou glanced at Guo Tu indifferently, and then bowed to Yuan Shu: "My lord, your loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth! What you said is also for your lord's sake!"

Yuan Shao knew that Jushou had been following him for a long time, so his level of loyalty was beyond words.

After Yuan Shao calmed down, he slowly said: "Gong Yu, tell me, why should I help Yuan Shu?"

"My lord, Yuan Shu is a rat, but he has occupied Yangzhou, the most prosperous city in the world. Now he is about to be defeated, and if Yangzhou falls into the hands of the Cao Group, their strength will greatly increase!"

"Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, if they pull out anyone at random, their talents are more than ten times better than Yuan Shu's. They will quickly turn the money and food stored in Yangzhou into soldiers and horses to form combat power!"

"At that time, the Cao family and his son will be in control of the six states, and with the Emperor in their hands, they will be unrivaled and sweep across the world!"

"By then, if my lord takes Gongsun Zan, he will only get the barren and small land of Youzhou. How can the land of two states compete with the Cao family and his son who own the land of six states?"

After Yuan Shao listened to Ju Shou's analysis, he frowned because he knew that Ju Shou's analysis was reasonable.

When Yuan Shu is defeated, Cao and his son will be free to deal with Xiliang.

After Xiliang has finished cleaning up, I am afraid that he will be next.After all, Liu Biao and Tao Qian both had good relations with the Cao family, and Liu Yan from Yizhou was weak and incompetent...

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao decided to adopt Ju Shou's advice and send his army south.

However, if the army is transferred away, what will Gongsun Zan do?
"My lord, if I move the army away, what will happen if Gongsun Zan takes the opportunity to plunder my Jizhou border?"

Jushou cupped his hands to Yuan Shaoyi and said: "To guard against Gongsun Zan, we must adopt a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we must make peace with him, and on the other hand, we must leave enough defenders in the northern city."

Yuan Shao frowned and said: "How many of the defenders should be left behind? If we leave too many, it will be detrimental to our southward attack on Cao, but if we leave too few, we may not be able to stop Gongsun Zan."

"Don't worry, my lord, I have a countermeasure!" Jushou was full of confidence.

Since he came to Yuan Shao's account, his suggestions were rarely adopted.

Now that it has finally been accepted, of course I have to go all out to make some achievements.

When everyone saw that Yuan Shao had already adopted Ju Shou's opinion, they didn't say anything more.

Even Guo Tu, who had always liked to oppose Jushou, lost his voice at this time. After all, in terms of making suggestions, he could not compare with Jushou among the ten.

With Jushou's help, the troops stationed in the Northland were quickly arranged.

Yuan Shao had already captured Zhuojun, Shanggu and other places, forcing Gongsun Zan to retreat to the Yuyang area.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao asked Wen Chou to lead his troops to stay on guard against Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shao himself led his army south to attack Yanzhou.

Of course, when Yuan Shao was putting all his strength into defense, he also sent envoys to find Gongsun Zan.

The person who served as the envoy was none other than Guo Tu.

Logically speaking, this envoy should be made by Ju Shou who made the suggestion, but Yuan Shao wanted to take Ju Shou south, so he left Guo Tu to Wen Chou.

The combination of one civil and one military is quite common.

Therefore, Guo Tu could only act as the messenger.

Fortunately, Guo Tu has always been eloquent and is familiar with things like being an envoy.

But when he came to Yuyang with gifts and found Gongsun Zan, he was almost killed by Gongsun Zan.

"Damn Yuan Benchu, what does he mean? He came to give me a gift after winning the battle. Is he humiliating me?" Gongsun Zan held a silver gun, cursed and walked forward, wanting to shoot Guo Try to stab him to death.

Fortunately, Gongsun Zan's subordinates stopped him.

"My lord, the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy!"

"Yes, my lord, don't be angry, just listen to what this guy means!"

……

Gongsun Zan slowly calmed down under the persuasion of his subordinates.

Then, he glanced at Guo Tu and said, "Bring your things and come in!"

When Guo Tu saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he also greeted all the eighteen generations of Gongsun Zan's ancestors in his heart. (End of chapter)
