Chapter 978 Yuan Shao's Choice

"The high officials were defeated, the food and grass were robbed, Feng Li and Jiang Yiqu were killed, and only 20 of the 12 army remained. They retreated to the county, and even the Hanoi prefecture did not dare to stay in Huai County, the prefecture of Hanoi?!" Yuan Shao read the battle report, Standing up suddenly, with a "clang", a wishful hook was hit on the ground, making a crisp impact sound, and a huge wave roared in the heart of this great general.

Gao Gan actually lost?

Yuan Shao thought of how confident he was when he issued the "Calling for Cao Calligraphy" to shake the 50 troops from Ji, You, and Qingzhou to the front line of Yanzhou, intending to swallow thousands of miles of mountains and rivers like a tiger after everything is ready, and take down Cao Cao in one go. How high-spirited.Especially when he learned that Gao Gan almost won most of Bingzhou without bloodshed along the way, he was even more enthusiastic and arrogant.

But suddenly, when Ma Mengqi came out, everything turned into flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.The grand will to fight in my heart collapsed in just a few days under the banner of the Ma family's soldiers, and people didn't even have time to react!

Ju Shou, who was in charge of supervising the army, began to describe the whole incident, but Yuan Shao didn't listen to a word.His mind was in a mess, and he was unwilling to accept this fact at all.He stood up high, suddenly felt dizzy, but couldn't find any support for his hands, and the people in front of him turned into illusory overlapping images in an instant—the reputation of the four generations and five princes, Sai Wufu's name in Ma's house. How could Yuan Shao, who has always been proud, accept being defeated in one blow? !

"Stop talking!" Yuan Shao shook his head hard, and after seeing the people in front of him clearly, he said with red eyes: "Gongyu, quickly order Yan Liang to speed up the march, gather high-ranking officials, judges, and defeat Ma Chao! No, Directly ordering high-ranking cadres to be stationed in Huai County. Are these two idiots? Don’t they know the importance of Hanoi County to the Yuan family?! They were scared to be stationed in Gong County. kill!"

"My lord, the reason why we are stationed in Gong County is because it is adjacent to the two major granaries of Baima and Yanjin; After all, the county is under the rule of Hanoi, and it is only half a day's journey away from Huai County. Once Ma Chao's army attacks the city, the two generals can lead their troops to rescue the city. This kind of strategy is the most favorable choice at present." Ju Shou saw Yuan Shao already A little angry, he couldn't help explaining the joints to Yuan Shao.

"Okay, not bad." Yuan Shao's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't know if he heard Jushou's words clearly, and then avoided the topic, and said: "Gongyu, I blamed you..."

As soon as this sentence fell, Ju Shou's face could not help showing a joyful expression.However, Yuan Shao's subsequent words made Jushou's joy freeze on his face, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

"Gongyu, you were right at the beginning. I want to lead the army and fight Ma Meng to the death, and let him know. In the Kanto region, it's not his turn to wait for a man to act wildly!"

Yuan Shao suddenly smashed the inkstone on the desk onto the hall, and the top-quality inkstone of Wei Dan's ink pool broke into seven pieces immediately.But Jushou suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be thrown to the ground by Yuan Shao like the high-quality inkstone produced by the Ma family: What's the point of sending troops at this time?I give good advice time and time again, but if you listen to it once, it won't be like this...

That's right, if Yuan Shao had led the army to conquer in person when Jushou proposed it, it would have boosted morale and shown the feat of the Yuan family sweeping the Ma family and the Cao family.But at this time, everyone knew that the Yuan family was defeated by the Ma family. At this time, Yuan Shao personally conquered, how would the world miss Yuan Shao?

What four generations and five princes are nothing more than scoundrels who can't afford to lose.

Ju Shou almost didn't need to think about it, he could guess what kind of negative impact Yuan Shao would have on Jizhou's finances, popular support, and reputation once he raised his troops at this time.Yuan Shao's military aggression had already made the people of Jizhou miserable, and the newly settled Youzhou, because of this face project, made the aliens feel dissatisfied, and the people of Youzhou complained even more.If he slapped his swollen face again to pretend to be fat, then the Yuan family might completely lose everything because of losing again!

But this time, Ju Shou looked at Yuan Shao's distorted face due to anger, but he no longer had the energy to persuade him.After Yingying annexed Han Fu, Jushou thought that what he had learned would not be the same as grass and trees.However, the development of the matter made Jushou somewhat puzzled.

Yuan Shao is indeed a hero in troubled times, and Ju Shou will not object to this at all.However, after staying in Yuan's family for a long time, he discovered that Yuan Shao came from a prominent family, but because he was not a direct descendant, he felt somewhat inferior.He was a young hero, and he dominated Yuan Shu, the son of the Yuan family, in everything. Because of this, he couldn't stand other people being smarter than him.But fighting for power in troubled times is inseparable from those strategists and advisers. Yuan Shao was repeatedly criticized by the strategists and advisers, and learned to use tactics to control schemes.

He was jealous but didn't speak, and he didn't show his suspicions. Instead, he let his advisers form a group to attack.As a result, he mediates in the middle, showing a heroic decision, but every decision he makes is always what he thought in advance...

So what if I go to persuade you again this time?Ju Shou closed his eyes, as if he had already seen what happened next: Yuan Shao continued to lose his temper despite his painstaking efforts to persuade him.Afterwards, no matter if it was Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, or even the Xin brothers, they would stand up and refute themselves.In the end, Yuan Shao reconciled and reluctantly accepted the suggestion of personally enlisting.

Yes, at this time, apart from Yuan Shao's personal conquest, Ju Shou had nothing to do.However, his idea was to let Yuan Shao's army go south, defeat Cao Cao first, and then fight Ma Chao.As a result, the Yuan family's momentum has been revived, and the morale of the army can be used.Moreover, after repeated defeats, the high-ranking cadres and the judges will definitely be careful not to stick to it.Ma Chao's 40-strong army, across the heavy city of Huai County, the prefecture of Hanoi, could not easily swallow up high-level officials within three or four months.

But, will Yuan Shao listen?

Ju Shou knows the answer.Therefore, at this time, he was already tired of the Yuan family's strife, and he just said weakly: "If my lord wants to conquer in person, then go."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole Yuan's hall was in an uproar, and Guo Tu, Feng Ji and other people who had already prepared to interrogate Jushou were surprised.

And at this time, Yuan Shao, whose face was full of embarrassment, seemed to be shocked by Ju Shou's words.The pretended angry expression suddenly broke down in Jushou's indifferent tone of despair.He glanced at Jushou slowly, then sat back to his original position, looked back carefully at the big cowhide picture hanging behind him, and after a long time, he solemnly said: "The assembled 40 troops will send troops to Baima City. Stay in Yuan Xi presides over the government affairs in Yecheng, Ju grants the power to exercise the supervisory order and the whole army, and follow me to the expedition!"

Jushou raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yuan Shao in disbelief: The decision Yuan Shao made this time is really the best that Jushou has ever seen.Sending out white horses is the same as what Jushou thought.It can help high-ranking cadres and deter Cao Cao; keeping Yuan Xi to support government affairs is beneficial to the stability of Yuan's family.

Everyone in the world knows that Yuan Tanyong is strong-tempered and lacking in intelligence, but he is the legitimate son of the Yuan family.But Yuan Shao is beautiful, courageous and resourceful, and can take on heavy responsibilities. Yuan Shao loves his youngest son the most.Only Yuan Xi, as the second son, was lacking in stature and lack of courage, so he didn't fight for the advantage of the Yuan family's great cause.Yuan Shao leaving Yuan Xi in charge of government affairs can make his subordinates puzzled, and it can also eliminate the worries of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Especially the last order, granting the highest authority to Yu Ju, it is obvious that Yuan Shao has already understood the mood of the officials in his heart, and he used loyal and capable ministers when the Yuan family's great enemy was in front of him!
After this order was issued, almost all the counselors in the hall reacted and stepped forward to dissuade them.But Yuan Shao seldom waved his hand: "I've lost my mind, you don't need to say more!"

Countless eyes radiated on Yuan Shao, all of them were killed by Yuan Shao's stern eyes.Afterwards, everyone had no choice but to turn their eyes to Jushou, only to see that Jushou also looked surprised and pleasantly surprised, and did not expect Yuan Shao to have such a wise and powerful transformation today.

However, just as Chen Lin was writing and was about to pass on the order, there was a squeaky voice from outside the hall: "The envoy of General Yongzhou Hussars has arrived!"
