The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 197

"Bastard, the originally good situation was ruined by you!"

Although Yuan Shang and Wei Tao should have been tied this time around, but just now he received the news that Wei Tao was successfully ambushed, and before he was happy enough, he was completely stunned by a blow to the head.

Just like this, it hurt his face extremely, Yuan Shang was naturally annoyed and scolded so that several people couldn't help bowing their heads.

"My lord, there is no need to be like this. This is also Wei Tao's cunning. I never thought that Wei Tao would not be afraid of an ambush, and dared to order someone to pursue him forcibly. This matter should be regarded as my fault!"

But at this time, Jushou was persuading Yuan Shang.

Facing Jushou, who was quite effective as soon as he made a plan, Yuan Shang naturally wouldn't make him look bad, and immediately scolded several people.

"Looking at Mr. Jushou's face, let me forgive you this time, and promise you to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. If you make mistakes in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"promise!"

Seeing Yuan Shang turn off the fire, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

But Ju Yi was better, he just put it down once the matter was over, only Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, although they didn't show it on their faces, already hated Ju to death in their hearts.

Even though he wants to use his brother as a bait, but he doesn't even say hello, this is simply killing Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang!
It's a pity that Jushou is Jushou, so he didn't care about these things. At this time, he didn't even look at the two of them, but turned to Yuan Shang and said.

"My lord, although this game was won by the opponent, but the Bingzhou army has won the game, and the morale has dropped. This is an indisputable fact, and now it is even more of a battle."

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Yuan Shang's eyes lit up immediately, he didn't expect that Ju Shou would say such a thing at this time, and he said it excitedly.

"If Wei Tao can be wiped out in one fell swoop, sir should take the lead!"

"If the young master can do my plan, I shall plan for the young master."

Although Jushou did not pay much attention to Yuan Shao, his strategies were often useless. Although he felt that Yuan Shang was mediocre and not a person who could be assisted, he felt that Yuan Shang attached great importance to his strategies, but he was also a little more grateful.

When Jushou was discussing with Yuan Shang to offer advice, Wei Tao also learned the information from Yuan Jun.

"It turns out that Jushou came here, no wonder Yuan Jun is quite different. Although Jushou's character is not good, his resourcefulness should not be underestimated. My lord, please be more careful this time around."

Zhuge Jin looked at Wei Tao and said quite seriously as he cupped his hands.

"Oh? Could it be that Ziyu has something to do with this Jushou?"

Wei Tao is also a little curious, Wei Tao also knows about this talented person, and it is said that he is a person who is honest and upright, but how can he become a person of bad character in Zhuge Jin's mouth?
"My lord, that Jushou and I only heard his name, but never met him. As for any grievances and entanglements, there is no way to talk about it."

Zhuge Jin shook his head slightly, and responded calmly and naturally, there was really nothing special about it.

"Could it be that Ziyu really doesn't like this Jushou?"

Wei Tao couldn't help but asked again in surprise.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, it is said that Jushou used to be Han Fu's subordinate. Later, when Yuan Shao became powerful, someone persuaded Han Fu to hand over Jizhou Muyi. At that time, Jushou gave him more support. He was Han Fu's number one adviser. , To actually persuade the Lord to surrender without a fight, it can be said that it has never happened in ancient times! You should know his character!"

Zhuge Jin immediately answered with a straight face, and Wei Tao couldn't help but secretly nodded with such words.

At that time, Han Fu was more powerful than Yuan Shao, so it was impossible to surrender no matter what, if there was no such help from Ju Shou, how could it be so?
"What Ziyu said is not bad. I don't know if Ziyu is sure to conspire with him?"

"Is it impossible?"

Zhuge Jin also smiled. For a counselor like him, he never lacks confidence in himself.

Coincidentally, on the second day, Wei Tao and Yuan Shang both led the troops and lined up.

"Wei Tao! You have repeatedly violated our territory in Jizhou. Don't you think that Jizhou is innocent? Yesterday's ambush will also show you the strength of our army. If you don't repent, I'm afraid you will regret it too late!"

As soon as Yuan Shang rode out, he raised his hand and pointed at where Wei Tao was, and shouted loudly.

"I am the shepherd of Jizhou today, so I should protect Jizhou from being disturbed by others. If you can withdraw from Jizhou and return the three counties, then I will spare you this time. If not, there will be a battle between you and me!"

It has to be said that Yuan Shangyi is handsome, and now he has an aura of his own.

But who is Wei Tao, how can he be intimidated by a word?

What's more, having dealt with this Yuan Shang several times, I don't know what kind of person he is, and I have already sneered in my heart.

But it's all momentum!

Of course, Yuan Shang's shout was not without effect. After all, Wei Tao is no longer a herdsman of Jizhou, and the name of righteousness has fallen into Yuan Shang's hands.

"Yuan Shang, don't use this to suppress people! I am leading the army here today, not for other reasons, but for Yuan Benchu's treasonous trip! As long as you can hand over all the people who have foreign contacts there, so what if I give up the three counties ?”

But at this moment, Wei Tao stepped forward on his horse, pointed at Yuan Shang and yelled suddenly!
"Many soldiers in the Yuan army were born in Jizhou. If Wuhuan went south to cause trouble, wouldn't it trouble your wives and children? Don't you want to let your wives and children be trampled on by them, and are willing to be the accomplices of that foreign race? Don't you fear that there will be one day?" If you raise a tiger every day, you will be harmed by the tiger!"

Compared with Yuan Shang's appearance and majesty, Wei Tao's stern voice pointed directly at people's hearts and what people want. Yuan Shang's ghostly tricks are really unreasonable!
Even among Yuan Jun, many soldiers were greatly moved by their words.

Those soldiers may not be able to fully understand the righteousness of the family and the country, nor do they know the difference between the enemy and the enemy. Whoever pays the food will work for him.

But it doesn't mean that they can ignore their own family members for this reason.

If Wuhuan went south, what a tragic situation it would be. Just thinking about it made many people shudder.

The morale that had been slightly boosted by Yuan Shang soon fell, and many soldiers were even shaken by it.

"My lord! Don't talk too much with Wei Tao! Quickly lead the army to fight, as long as you win the first battle, everyone will talk about your achievements in the future!"

Jushou's own virtues are indeed there, but he doesn't pay much attention to the so-called treason and the like.

From Jushou's point of view, if one day Yuan Shao gains power in the Central Plains, the alien races will not be destroyed at will, so what if they are allowed to run rampant for a while now?

As for the people, they are indeed important, but compared to Yuan Shao's great cause, they are nothing.

So he was not moved by Wei Tao's words, but he immediately noticed something wrong with Yuan Jun. If he continued to fight with words, then Yuan Jun's soldiers might really be provoked by Wei Tao, or even turn back because of it.

"Ju Yi listens to the order! Lead the charge!"

Yuan Shang was not stupid either, he had already woken up after being drunk by Jushou, and immediately ordered Ju Yi to act.

However, Jushou had already told Yuan Shangyan that there are many powerful generals in the Bingzhou Army, not to mention that Wei Tao himself is very powerful, if he is a fighting general, he will suffer a lot.

Therefore, it is necessary to rush forward with the vanguard.

"promise!"

Ju Yi is an ordinary person like Ju Shou, who only acts for the lord he is loyal to, and never worries about more things.

"All soldiers, follow me to kill!"

So as soon as Yuan Shang gave the order, he responded, and immediately led the soldiers to fight out, and ran straight to join the state army!

Ju Yi is a senior general in the army, and his prestige is not low. When he gave an order, although he was confused, countless Yuan soldiers still rushed out.

"It's the same old stuff, so there's nothing new?"

Wei Tao smiled indifferently, and swung the halberd in his hand suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Jin immediately led the troops out, and the soldiers danced wildly like a dragon, wanting to meet him head-on!
Wei Tao didn't lead the troops forward, but just passed his gaze over the crowd, and directly cast his gaze on Jushou. In any case, Jushou is a top strategist, and it cannot be the only one with this ability.

"Young master, please order!"

Sure enough, at this moment, Ju Shou slightly bowed his hands to Yuan Shang and said.

"Bingzhou's army is strong, even more than I expected, but it is not beyond my expectations, dare you give an order."

"it is good!"

Yuan Shang was also able to distinguish the situation on the battlefield.

Most of Yuan's army were recruits, while the Bingzhou army were all elite soldiers. When the two armies came together, Yuan's army gradually became chaotic.

This is no wonder to Yuan Jun, after several defeats, Yuan Jun's elite soldiers were either killed in battle or captured, even if the remaining elite soldiers had to be divided up with Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang's army strength had declined significantly.

"Report! The rear battalion of our army was attacked, and the first general was very brave. I ask the general to make a decision!"

The big camp is where the food and supplies are located. If it is destroyed, without the supplies and supplies, it is naturally impossible to march, but generally speaking, there is absolutely no reason to divide the troops to attack in such a decisive battle.

Not to mention that in this way, the troops will be scattered. Wei Tao is not far from the camp, and he can send people back to support the army at any time.

Therefore, even if there is an attack on the camp, the number of troops cannot be too large, and it is unexpected that they will come to ask for help.

"The visitor is no match for Pan Feng?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly. This time, Wei Tao ordered Pan Feng to be in charge of escorting the grain and grass. The grain and grass had just arrived two days ago, so Wei Tao ordered Pan Feng to be in charge of guarding the camp.

Pan Feng's temperament is also somewhat arrogant, but he is quite cautious. He must have found that the enemy's strength is not weak when he comes into contact with the enemy army, and he cannot win quickly.

But this time is when the two armies are confronting each other, and if you order someone to retreat, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Moreover, he worked hard, declined again, and exhausted three times. The reason why his own Bingzhou army was so brave and good at fighting against Yuan Jun was also because Wei Tao fought Yuan Jun several times and won all of them.

If you retreat at this time and appear weak, I am afraid that you will no longer have this momentum.

So Wei Tao immediately looked at Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin thought about it for a while, and then looked towards the direction of the camp, and saw that there were already faint drums beating where the camp was located. This was Pan Feng fighting the enemy.

Of course it was more than that, Wei Tao could clearly see traces of gray smoke rising up, quite like the back camp was already on fire.

"General, there is no need to retreat. I believe that General Pan Feng will be able to resist Yuan Jun."

"it is good!"

Although he didn't know how Zhugejin judged the opponent's feint, Wei Tao was determined to believe it, and after a slight nod, he waved his hand abruptly.

"Beat the drums forward!"

Although Wei Tao believed that the rear camp was safe, ordinary soldiers didn't know it, so Wei Tao immediately beat the drums to make the soldiers move forward.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The thundering drum sounded, and countless Bingzhou soldiers immediately shouted to kill and moved forward.

Originally, Yuan Jun was not as strong as the Bingzhou Army, and the Bingzhou Army was struggling forward, and under Wei Tao's order, the Bingzhou Cavalry also began to charge in bursts, and Yuan Jun couldn't resist immediately.

"Military Jushou, why is the Bingzhou Army unmoved at all? What should we do now? What else is Han Meng doing? Can't we break the Bingzhou Army's camp?"

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Yuan Shang's heart was full of anger, and his words to Jushou were not as gentle as before.

But Ju Shou didn't seem to care much, he just frowned slightly, then looked at the whole situation with his eyes, and spoke calmly after a while.

"I thought that Xun You in the Bingzhou army was still in Chang'an, and Zhou Yu was fighting with the eldest son in the river. The Bingzhou army should be empty! I didn't expect there to be a wise man who didn't move when he saw such a phantom. My son, Let's retreat first. The Bingzhou Army can definitely break it head-on."

Ju Shou eloquently showed the demeanor of a top strategist, even if he made a mistake for a while, it was not a big deal for a top strategist.

At this time, Yuan Shang's face was much worse. It is true that Ju Shou did not see success or failure at this moment.

But in Yuan Shang's view, it was his words to advance, and now it is his words to retreat, but all the damage is to his face, and invisibly, he has a sense of alienation from this Jushou.

Of course, Jushou didn't know at this time. After seeing Yuan Shang retreating according to his words, what he thought in his heart was how to plan again and prepare to fight the Bingzhou army again.

After a while of pursuit, Wei Tao beheaded a lot of Yuan Jun again, which can be regarded as a big victory.

After returning to the camp, he found that the camp was safe and sound. After asking Pan Feng, he found out that the other party burned it with hay and other things to make it a picture of the camp being attacked.

"Thanks to Ziyu for seeing through the trick this time, Ziyu should take the lead!"

Wei Tao immediately smiled, but Zhuge Jin shook his head.

"My lord, if General Pan Feng hadn't been guarding the camp this time, the enemy might have taken advantage of the opportunity to enter. This battle is not weaker than the frontal battlefield, and General Pan Feng should be the leader."

"Not bad! Pan Feng, thanks to you this time!"

Wei Tao immediately said with a smile.

"The lord has won the award, this is the job of the last general."

Pan Feng didn't take credit for being a human being, on the contrary, he spoke seriously.

"However, the attacking general this time is very brave and good at fighting. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have many soldiers, even the last general would not be able to stop him. My lord, please be careful."

"Han Meng..."

Wei Tao groaned slightly and remained silent, he also knew about Han Meng, it is said that Wu Yong is not inferior to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, this time it may be a little while.
