Chapter 624 Yuan Shao’s Big Liar
"what?!"

"Luoyang will be conquered before tomorrow?"

"Did Su Yao really say that?"

The person who was speaking was Feng Ji.

Yuan Shao and others never expected that after waiting for such a long time, they would get such a reply.

"It's true."

Guo Tu nodded solemnly, his tone full of disbelief:
"Su Yao even said that if we can't do it, we can just attack Luoyang City on our own."

"What an arrogant champion!"

Gao Lan immediately expressed his disbelief:
"Does he think that siege is a field battle?"

"Even if he is a genius and can defeat ten thousand men, without weapons, what can he do under these high walls?"

After saying that, Gao Lan immediately asked for orders:
"Mr. Yuan, please mobilize the army and build equipment immediately. When he fails, we can attack the city immediately!"

With Gao Lan taking the lead, other generals also volunteered to fight.

In their opinion, Luoyang City was not that difficult to attack, it was just a waste of time.

The backboneless playboys from aristocratic families are no match for their regular army. As long as the siege equipment is built, Luoyang City can be captured overnight.

The Champion Marquis is so arrogant that he is really giving away their military achievements for nothing.

However, facing this overwhelming crowd's request for war, Yuan Shao remained unmoved and asked Feng Ji:
"Yuantu, what do you think?"

Feng Ji sighed and smiled bitterly:
"As Lord Yuan said before, this Champion Marquis is always unexpected and should not be taken lightly."

"I think his bold statement this time is probably not without basis."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded. What Feng Ji said coincided with his thoughts.

Before this, Yuan Shao could hardly remember any time when the boy surnamed Su failed to fulfill his bold words.

This time, although he didn't know what the boy was up to, he was afraid.
"Are we just going to sit there and wait to see how he breaks into the city?" Gao Lan asked unwillingly, clenching his fists and looking a little impatient.

As a warrior, Gao Lan felt extremely frustrated by such a decision.

"Sir Gao, please be patient."

Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaling him to calm down:

"Since he said that if we can't defeat it, we can leave it to us, then we still have to make the necessary preparations, but..."

——"What if we can cause him some trouble?"

Guo Tu suddenly interrupted, his eyes sparkling.

Yuan Shao was surprised when he saw it: "What does Gongze mean?"

Guo Tu smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke:
"On my way back, I was thinking hard about how Su Yao would break into the city."

"A strong attack is impossible!"

"His only chance is if there is an insider in the city who responds."

"Internal response?"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Su Yao had conquered cities and won great victories in the past, and the internal supporter who surrendered the city and opened the gates played an important role in this.

Especially in Jizhou, the several big cities that Su Yao attacked were all like this.

Could it be this Luoyang City?
"That's right!"

Guo Tu continued:
"Lord Lu is famous all over the world, and he has many disciples. And since the Champion Marquis has Lord Lu's help, there must be a Yonglei in Luoyang City."

"Before, those noble families in Luoyang were plotting to make us fight each other. They were probably happy to watch the show."

"But in the evening, Lord Yuan killed Guo Hui. Seeing that he had not returned, they must have been frightened."

"At this time, Lord Yuan, do you think the noble families in the city will still be united?"

"I'm afraid someone might try to sneak out of Xiancheng any minute."

"Okay, is this the reason why he was able to take down the city overnight?"

Yuan Shao frowned, and the worry in his eyes was evident.

There are many wealthy families in Luoyang City with profound cultural heritage, and none of them has ever been willing to submit to anyone else.

Normally, these people have their own thoughts and are difficult to unite. Now, after hearing what Guo Tu said, he is even more worried that Su Yao will take advantage of this and successfully instigate the children of the noble families in the city to rebel, thus easily breaking into the city.

"Since you have thought of this, do you have a solution?"

Hearing Yuan Shao's question, Guo Tu nodded confidently:

"Mr. Yuan, why don't we use the opponent's trick against us?"

"Take advantage of the enemy's tactics?" Everyone looked confused.

"That's right!"

Guo Tu's face became even more proud:

"The Marquis of Guanjun is relying on us turning against him. Now the noble families in the capital are desperate and have no outside reinforcements."

"As long as we sneak into the city and tell them that they only need to hold out for one day, we will come into the city to rescue them, and at the same time share their benefits, and send them some quotas and benefits to fight against Dong."

"In this way, those children of noble families will fully cooperate with us for their own interests, catch the traitor, and delay Su Yao's steps."

"As long as Su Yao cannot call on his inner supporters to open the gate, he will never be able to capture Luoyang City in one night!"

"And as long as he fails to take Luoyang by tomorrow."

"Then Lord Yuan can just ask the noble families in the city to open the gates. Why bother attacking them?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. He repeatedly praised Guo Tu for his cleverness, saying that he was resourceful and capable of taking on important responsibilities.

After hearing this, Guo Tu repeatedly said modestly that he dared not, but the way he pinched his beard clearly revealed his smug thoughts.

"However, although this plan is brilliant, the risks are not small."

Feng Ji, who interrupted, expressed his concern:
"Let's not talk about the fact that we just killed Guo Hui and offended the noble families in the capital. I wonder if they can trust us." "Let's just say that once this plan is exposed, the Champion Marquis will be furious with his temper, and it will probably cause even greater trouble."

When Feng Ji said this, Yuan Shao hesitated again.

At this time, Guo Tu patted his chest and volunteered:
"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan. I will take care of this matter."

"I will be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."

After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Shao was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and made up his mind:
"Thank you for your hard work, Gongze."

"If this plan succeeds, you will be the first to achieve the victory when Luoyang is captured!"

"I am determined to fulfill my mission!"

Guo Tu took the order and left, feeling secretly proud of himself.

He knew very well that if this plan succeeded, it would not only resolve the current crisis, but also allow his status in Yuan Shao to rise to a higher level.

As for Feng Ji's worries, they were naturally nothing.

"what?!"

"You said Guo Hui, was he killed by Su Yao?!"

"But why did I hear from Su Yao's people that it was Yuan Gong who killed Guo Hui?!"

A mansion in Luoyang city.

Zhong Zhe and others received Guo Tu who came at night, and were immediately stunned by the explosive news.

That’s right, as the Chinese character for official has two parts, speaking is an art.

Guo Tu slapped Su Yao in the face, and the person who killed Guo Hui became Su Yao.

"Oh, is that what Lord Su said?!"

"This is a frame-up. This is his conspiracy!"

Guo Tu's eyes rolled around and he sighed:
"Mr. Zhong, you don't know that Brother Guo Hui really came at the wrong time!"

"Su Yao sent a subordinate to us before. He was arrogant and wanted us to help him attack the city."

"Mr. Yuan is from a distinguished family. I don't want to be associated with him. I want to stand together with you all."

“As a result, who knew that Brother Guo ran into him and was chopped directly by him, trying to force Lord Yuan to side with Su Yao.”

"Mr. Yuan was afraid that you would misunderstand him, so he sent me into the city at night to explain the matter to you all."

"Please believe me, gentlemen, that Lord Yuan will always stand with you!"

Guo Tu relied on the fact that Zhong Zhe and his men in the city had no idea what was happening outside the city, and he was telling lies.

After hearing this, Zhongzhe and others realized that they had been fooled. They were very excited and there was an uproar.

"I said that Yuan Benchu ​​would never do such a thing."

Wei Hao, who had a mustache, jumped three feet high:

"This is indeed Su Yao's evil plan!"

The nobles at the scene were talking at once, and they were terrified when they thought about the ultimatum that Su Yao had sent someone to issue just a moment ago:
"Fortunately, Mr. Guo arrived in time, otherwise, we would have to surrender the city!"

Seeing this, Guo Tu was secretly delighted, but pretended to be deeply distressed:

"My lords, Lord Yuan has always regarded you as his allies. How could he do such a treacherous thing?"

"Su Yao did everything he could to alienate us, which shows how much he fears us."

"If he had no other options, why would he resort to such an unconventional approach?"

"Mr. Guo is right!"

Zhongzhe said indignantly:
"Su Yao is ambitious and wants to take over Luoyang alone. We must not let him succeed!"

"Yes, we can't let Su Yao's evil plan succeed!"

The other children of the noble families also echoed and became more and more excited. Wei Hao even shouted louder:

"We will open the city gates tonight and invite Lord Yuan to come in and give everyone justice!"

"No, absolutely not!"

Guo Tu was surprised to find that his plan was too effective. He quickly waved his hand to calm everyone down. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Su Yao is really miserable in this world."

"My lords, I appreciate your kindness, but opening the door at this moment will not only be useless, but harmful."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Zhongzhe frowned and asked in confusion.

Guo Tu sighed and explained:

"Su Yao is very cunning. If he sees us opening the gate to meet the enemy, he will definitely guess that we have seen through his plan. I'm afraid he will be desperate and take more drastic measures."

"Besides, Lord Yuan's army has not yet assembled. Entering the city now would be like hitting a rock with an egg. Not only would it fail to save us, but it would put Lord Yuan in danger."

"Then according to Mr. Guo, what should we do?"

Wei Hao asked anxiously, and other children from noble families also looked at him expectantly.

"Don't panic, everyone. Lord Yuan has a foolproof plan!"

Then, Guo Tu exaggerated the story and said that Yuan Shao argued with Su Yao and made a bet in order to preserve Luoyang City and the interests of the aristocratic families.

"As long as you can hold on tonight, Su Yao will voluntarily admit defeat!"

"When the time comes, everyone will open the door to welcome Mr. Yuan, and that will be justified."

"He can only leave in disgrace and will never be able to touch Luoyang City again."

"what?!"

Zhong Zhe and others looked at each other in bewilderment:

"We guard Su Yao all night???"
