Beast King Three Kingdoms

() Poyang, named after Poyang Lake, is known as the land of fish and rice. Liu Yao didn't want to give up this rich land, but his troops were limited. In order to fight Yuan Shu, he could only reluctantly cut his flesh.

The army hurried for several days, and finally arrived at Poyang.

At that moment, Yuan Shu first summoned Wei Yan to meet him and inquire about the current situation.

"My lord, don't worry! Then Liu Yao was so frightened that he hid in the city and didn't dare to come out." Wei Yan's tone was full of disdain, and he obviously disdained Liu Yao.

Yuan Shu was speechless, and thought, "I'm not afraid of him leaving the city, but I'm afraid he won't leave the city."

Casting a glance at Wei Yan who was full of disdain, Yuan Shu secretly sighed: "It seems that he still lacks experience!"

"You and Xu Chu have settled down the army. I want to test Liu Yao's strength first, and then march." Yuan Shu thought for a while, and ordered Wei Yan.

Wei Yan was a little puzzled by Yuan Shu's cautiousness, and proudly said: "Liu Yao is a mediocre man, why should the lord be so solemn? The final general only needs [-] troops to break through Yuzhang City."

Yuan Shu frowned and looked at Wei Yan, thinking that it would be better to suppress him so that he would not be arrogant.

"If you lose [-] troops and break through Yuzhang City, I will definitely behead you!" Yuan Shu said gloomily.

Wei Yan shuddered, and hurriedly said: "The last general dare not!"

"Don't forget what I told you before. If you want to become a general, the first thing you need to do is to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Otherwise, you are at most a fierce general, and to put it bluntly, a reckless man. Are you clear?" Yuan Shu said lightly.

Wei Yan said respectfully: "The general will always remember the Lord's teachings."

"Go!" Yuan Shu didn't bother to pay attention to these things, he said everything that needed to be said, and did everything that needed to be done, and the rest was up to Wei Yan to discipline himself.

"The last general will leave!" Wei Yan bowed and slowly retreated.

The next day, Yuan Shu, together with a group of counselors, disguised himself and came outside Yuzhang City to observe the enemy's situation.

"The walls of Yuzhang City are high and thick, so it's not suitable to go down!" After watching for a while, Yuan Shu couldn't help frowning.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yao was defeated once, and he seemed to have opened his mind. The defense of Yuzhang City seemed to be in order without any chaos.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu asked Jia Xu: "The Yuzhang in front of me is like an impregnable wall. With Liu Yao's talent, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a level. Can we know why?"

Jia Xu thought about it, and said, "Last year Liu Biao failed to take Xiangyang, and after he retired from the army, he had close contacts with Liu Yao. If the subordinates expected this, it must be Liu Biao's doing, or his subordinates don't know."

"Liu Biao? He doesn't have the ability, it should be done by someone under his command." Yuan Shu asserted.

"There are capable people under Liu Biao's command!" Feng Ji exclaimed.

Xun You nodded in agreement, and echoed, "That's right! Jingzhou has many talents, and naturally there are many wise men. Liu Biao's ability is not good, but there are merits, and there may not be anyone who agrees with him."

Feng Ji smiled wryly and said, "I would rather Liu Biao be incompetent, so it would be easier for our army to capture Jingzhou."

Yuan Shu interrupted the conversation between the two with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly: "I don't care about Jingzhou for the time being, I am worried that Liu Biao's people will offer Liu Yao a plan to block the Ganshui. If so, all our previous plans will be empty talk!"

When Xun You and Feng Ji heard this, they immediately realized that their expressions became extremely serious.

Realizing the seriousness of the stone platform, Yuan Shu and his party hurried to the Gan River.

It's a pity that everyone has not yet reached the Ganshui River, but they saw a checkpoint set up ahead, guarded by soldiers, and no one who came and went was spared, and they were all searched.

"Damn it!" Yuan Shu cursed inwardly, knowing that Liu Yao had prepared for it long ago, he was filled with indignation.

"My lord! It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, I'd better go back sooner!" Surrounded by Liu Yao's subordinates, if anyone recognized Yuan Shu, it would be a big accident.

"Yeah!" Yuan Shu nodded, and said softly, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

So, everyone turned to look at Poyang and return.

After returning to Poyang, Jia Xu asked the pleading guilty: "This subordinate didn't think well, and because of the difficulties we have been through so far, please forgive me, my lord."

Yuan Shu said softly, "Wen He doesn't have to be like this! Speaking of it is my fault. If I hadn't forced Liu Biao to be too prosperous, he wouldn't have tried his best to help Liu Yao."

Although Jia Xu had no expression on his face, he was very touched in his heart. He knew that Yuan Shu valued him very much. He was appointed to be in charge of the intelligence department when he first arrived, which was evident.

"A scholar dies for his confidant?! Wen You, I can understand you now!"

Wen You is Li Ru, the most important counselor under Dong Zhuo's command. Jia Xu and Li Ru are not friends, they can only be said to be acquaintances, but this does not prevent them from calling each other confidantes.

Jia Xu has always had a doubt in his heart. With Li Ru's talents, why did he choose Dong Zhuo as a lord? In his opinion, this is tantamount to casting a secret jewel.

However, now Jia Xu began to understand Li Ru's feelings. Although Dong Zhuo was criticized by thousands of people, he was the one who discovered Li Ru after all, and at the same time gave him a stage to display his talents.

Other princes may be more wise and powerful than Dong Zhuo, but they may not give Li Ru such a chance.

There are many similar ones. For example, Kuai Liang knew that Liu Biao was not the master, but he was unwilling to give up because Liu Biao had the kindness of knowing him.

Jia Xu is indifferent by nature. He is an extremely selfish person. He always thinks about himself first and judges others with himself. He naturally cannot understand the feelings of Li Ru, Kuai Liang and others.

However, a crack appeared in Jia Xu's frozen heart today.

Yuan Shu naturally didn't know Jia Xu's complicated heart. Liu Yao had set up many barriers in Ganshui, and his plan to attack Luling had obviously failed. Now there is only one way to defeat Yuan Shu, and that is to attack Yuzhang by force.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shu asked the crowd, "If we attack by force, how much will our military supplies be lost before we can win the Yuzhang?"

Xun You remonstrated: "The city of Yuzhang has high walls and thick walls, so it's hard to get it. We'd better think of another way, which is the best policy!"

Yuan Shu had a headache and said, "What I can think of, those Jingzhou talents can also think of. Right now, there is only one way left."

Feng Ji suggested: "My lord! Luling is not desirable. Can our army cross Poyang Lake and attack Chaisang. As long as we take down Chaisang, our army can regain control of the initiative."

"Chai Sang is an important town in Yuzhang. How could Liu Yao be unprepared?" Yuan Shu obviously didn't like Feng Ji's plan. Liu Yao even blocked the Gan River, let alone Poyang Lake.

At this time, Jia Xu suddenly said: "Our army doesn't have to cross Poyang Lake to attack Chaisang."

"Huh?" Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu in surprise, and said, "What do you mean by Wen He's words?"

Xun You and Feng Ji were also full of curiosity.

"Our army has a navy in Chaohu Lake. My lord, why don't you use it? Go down the river and take Chaisang." Although Jia Xu is a new recruit, he is in charge of the intelligence department and knows the situation under Yuan Shuzhi very well. Naturally, the Chaohu navy couldn't hide it from him.

Yuan Shu hesitated, and said, "The naval army is newly formed, and its strength is not enough. I'm afraid it won't be enough to take down Chaisang."

Jia Xu said: "Your lord, you can pretend to attack Yuzhang, secretly order people to build ships in Poyang Lake, and then leak the matter on purpose. In this way, Liu Yao must think that your lord intends to cross Poyang Lake and attack Chaisang. When the time comes The Chaohu navy marched southward, and by surprise, it may not be impossible to capture Chaisang."

This strategy is indeed an excellent strategy, Xun You and Feng Ji all nodded secretly.

"My lord! Wen He's plan is very clever, and the success rate is not small. My lord will not guard against it." Feng Ji said.

"Secondary!" Xun You said.

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay to try, it's better than a strong attack."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "Order Chaohu, order Zhou Yu to command the water army, go down the great river, and go straight to Chaisang."
