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

Chapter 465: Discussing Countermeasures and Suspicious Strategies

Now that the Black Mountain Army has left, the remaining Yuan Army is in an isolated and helpless state.

It's just that they in Weijun City don't know that Zhang Yan has also surrendered to Cao Jun.

Gongsun Zan was pacing back and forth in his residence. At this time, he only had a few thousand foot soldiers who could be trusted.

Originally, he thought that he was doomed this time. After all, in this era, there were no soldiers in hand. How could someone follow a bare commander?
As a result, just when Gongsun Zan was planning to work for Yuan Shao, he suddenly received news that Yuan Shao was ill.

At this moment, his ambition began to skyrocket.

After all, Gongsun Zan was also a prince, so how could he not have great ambitions?

It's just that this time, he was beaten so badly by Cao Jun that he almost lost his ambition to win.

Now that Yuan Shao was ill, he naturally thought that this was an opportunity given to him by God.

Yuan Shao had always been in good health before this, and his sons were not too old, so he was not in a hurry to establish a heir apparent.

After all, this view of establishing elders rather than virtuous people is deeply ingrained in modern people's thinking.

And Yuan Shao had always loved his third son Yuan Shang very much, and wanted to make him the heir apparent, but he couldn't go against the idea of ​​making him the eldest son.

After this back and forth, the crown prince has not yet been established.

And this was exactly what Gongsun Zan thought was an opportunity.

"As long as I take my cronies, rush into Yuan Shao's mansion with lightning speed, kill him and his eldest son, and then take the opportunity to subdue his advisor general, wouldn't it be great!"

Gongsun Zan murmured, and when he thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but heat up.

However, he did not get carried away, but sent someone to investigate carefully.

In Yuan Shao's mansion, everyone finally shut up under Ju Shou's pressure.

The counselors were clearly divided into three camps.

One of the camps, headed by Feng Ji Shenpei, supports Yuan Shang and wants Yuan Shao to make him the heir apparent.

The other camp is the loyal supporters of Yuan Tan, headed by brothers Xin Ping and Guo Tu.

As for the remaining people, they are those who remain neutral under the leadership of Jushou.

Jushou called everyone here, originally intending to discuss what should be done about the current situation.

As a result, these people started to quarrel when they disagreed, which made Jushou feel headache for a while.

"That's enough, stop arguing!" Jushou shouted angrily, causing all the counselors to shut up.

When everyone saw Jushu getting angry, everyone shut their mouths.

But Feng Ji and Xin Ping still looked at each other with hostility.

After Jushou saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly, shook his head, then pinched his forehead with his hand, and asked Wen Chou and Zhang He beside him.

"I wonder if the two generals have any opinions on this situation?"

Wen Chou and Zhang He didn't expect Ju Shou to ask them, so they were both stunned for a moment.After a while, Wen Chou said with an ugly face: "Sir, the general has no good solution to the current situation. Everything depends on the master, the lord, and the eldest son."

In fact, Wen Chou had an idea in his mind, and his idea was very simple, that is, to run away.

After all, everyone with a discerning eye now knows that Yuan Jun's defeat is irreversible, not to mention that their food and grass have been exhausted. What are they using to fight?
It's just that Wen Chou didn't dare to say this now. After all, he had suffered successive defeats at the hands of Cao Jun. If he talked about the retreat again, he would be ridiculed to death.

Seeing Wen Chou, there was nothing to say, but Zhang He on the other side spoke up.

"Sir, the general feels that it is not wise to engage in a decisive battle with Cao's army this time. Cao's army has a large number of soldiers and sufficient food and grass. If we fight them in a decisive battle and lack of hard power, we will definitely be wiped out by the other side!"

As Zhang He finished speaking, everyone felt that what he said made sense.

However, Zhang He did not pay attention to the eyes of others and continued to speak alone: ​​"The final general feels that Cao's army should be divided and destroyed."

"Before, I fought against Yu Jin, Xu Huang and Le Jin, and found that they are just mediocre people, but they can hold high positions. If the troops are divided, they will definitely lead another army."

When Wen Chou heard what Zhang He said, he nodded and agreed: "That's true. In Cao's army camp, only Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are very skilled in martial arts. As for the others, they are indeed much inferior."

When Wen Chou said this, he couldn't help but think of that day when he almost killed Xiahou Dun.

It's a pity that he was rescued by Huang Zhong in the end and failed.

Feng Ji Xinping and others on the side, after listening to Zhang He's words, temporarily gave up fighting for power, and began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

Feng Ji was the first to ask Zhang He: "General Zhang, our military strength is not as good as Cao's army. At present, the Montenegrin soldiers are worried and may not be able to count on them."

"With the troops at a disadvantage, if we divide our troops, I am afraid that Cao's army will defeat them one by one."

When everyone heard this, they felt that it was not unreasonable. After all, no matter how they fought, they were all at a disadvantage. If they combined their forces together, they would still be able to fight. If they divided their forces, they might die faster.

As Feng Ji's words fell, Xin Ping sneered and said, "This is not simple. The soldiers are all fictitious and real. We just need to arrange a few more suspicious soldiers."

When Shen Pei heard this, he wanted to refute the other party.

But before he could speak, Jushou took the lead and said, "That's good. I think this plan is feasible. I wonder what the eldest master thinks?"

Yuan Tan nodded when he heard this, and said solemnly: "This strategy of suspecting soldiers is indeed feasible, but how to implement it in detail still needs to be discussed in detail."

Having said this, Yuan Tan paused and looked to the left and rear.

That direction is exactly where Yuan Shao lives.

"In addition, we still need to wait until my father wakes up to see if this matter can be implemented and ask him what he means."

In fact, Yuan Tan felt quite complicated at this time. He had always known that his father didn't like him very much since he didn't know when.

It seems that it was from the time when the third brother grew up.

Thinking of this, Yuan Tan couldn't help but frowned. He had already passed the year of crowning him. Logically speaking, Yuan Shao should have made him his heir apparent long ago.

However, Yuan Shao has not had this intention, so this matter is likely to go wrong.

It's just that in Yuan Tan's heart, he has always had expectations for his father.
