"I hope so, lord, the subordinate has something to ask for, please be fair and correct." Ju Su was very helpless now. He knew that things would never go so smoothly. Since he could no longer change Yuan Shao's decision, since he was useless here, it would be better to take a step back and manage the rear for Yuan Shao so that Yuan Shao would have a way out in the future, especially to guard against Cao Cao. He had a friendship with Cao Cao before, but he knew deeply that this old friend was definitely not Yiyou. He now gathered heavy troops in Pinggao County, but never helped him fight a battle, and he didn't even waving a flag and shouting. This was obviously abnormal. Perhaps what Cao Cao really cared about was not that Yuan Shao could win, but that he might hope that Yuan Shao would lose, because in this way, Cao Cao might take advantage of the victory to launch an attack on Jizhou. By then, I'm afraid that the entire Hanoi would not be owned by Yuan Shao...

So Ju Su decided to take the opportunity to stabilize the rear, and at least leave a way out for Yuan Shao when he retreated.

Of course, although he had decided to do this, Ju Su would not directly explain his purpose. Instead, he thought that Yuan Shao was in charge of transporting food and grass as an excuse. For him, such an excuse would not arouse Yuan Shao's disgust and might be able to encourage his success.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao agreed without any hesitation after hearing Ju Su's request, because in Yuan Shao's opinion, this Ju Su was not only useless, but would affect his mood. It would be better to throw him behind, so that he would not be laughed at by others for being ungrateful.

Guo Tu did not object to this, because for Guo Tu, as long as he was able to maintain his favored situation in front of his lord Yuan Shao, as for what ordinary officers were unwilling to do, what would it be wrong to give it to Ju Su?

Seeing that the result was indeed satisfying, Ju Su didn't say anything anymore and immediately took his troops to Wude County to take office.

Ju Su's departure immediately made Yuan Shao and Guo Tu feel relieved. When Ju Su left, the pressure on them was gone. From then on, they could deal with Pei Qing as they were willing to deal with it, and no one would obstruct it again.

So a few days after Ju Su left, Pei Qing was already in trouble with internal and external affairs and had a great advantage. In this case, he naturally had to take the initiative to launch an attack to make himself and his army famous in one battle.

After some planning, Yuan Shao decided to launch a sudden attack on Yewang City at dawn two days later, and at the same time, he used the advantage of military rations to induce the defenders in the city to surrender voluntarily and even turn against each other.

No one of the strategists opposed Yuan Shao's decision at all, and there was not even a trace of objection. They all became verbs.

So at dawn two days later, Yuan Shao personally led a large army to Yewang City, and according to the previous combat plan, he prepared to capture Yewang City. At the same time, he also used his own food and food advantages to induce the soldiers guarding the city to give up resistance and directly choose to surrender.

However, what is particularly surprising is that when Yuan Shao's army had just left Huai County, it was ambushed by the soldiers under Pei Qing on a ridge.

Because we were not wary of the enemy's appearance, at the beginning of the ambush, the soldiers under Yuan Shao began to panic. They no longer cared about military discipline and fled in various ways. In order to allow themselves to have a way of life, they killed each other and trampled on each other, and no less than ten thousand died.

"Ahhhh, how could this happen? How could this be possible? Pei Qing's army has no food, why do the soldiers under his command still have such combat power? They all look like tigers going down the mountain, is it like food out of stock? Guo Gongze, please explain to me what's going on? This is what you said that the enemy has lost food?"

Yuan Shao roared loudly. This battle completely destroyed his confidence, made him extremely worried and regretful. If he knew that such a scene would happen, he would not take the initiative to attack even if he was beaten to death.

"It seems that I misunderstood my husband, but I still underestimated Pei Qing. This child has indeed made a treacherous plan. It's a pity that I didn't see through his treacherous plan, which caused our army to suffer such losses. Alas, this is the result of underestimating the enemy and advancing. This is the consequence of not listening to the wise sayings. Guo Tu misled me, Guo Tu misled me!"

Yuan Shao kept sighing. He was ultimately misled by Guo Tu, which eventually led to such a result.

This ambush caused Yuan Shao to lose more than 10,000 troops, and the morale of the army was very serious. After Yuan Shao returned to the military camp, he immediately scolded Guo Tu. However, Guo Tu shrugged the blame to Han Meng, the general who was specifically responsible for the arrest of the detailed work, and said that Han Meng did not investigate in detail when arresting the people, and he also quickly concluded during the interrogation, so he misled himself.

Yuan Shao was originally a person who didn't pay attention to it. When he heard this, he immediately criticized Han Meng, deducted Han Meng's two-month salary, and punished Han Meng for committing crimes and making meritorious contributions to observe the future.

Yuan Shao then decided to transfer Ju Su back, but Guo Tu said that Ju Su's position was very important and no one could replace him. When Yuan Shao heard this, he had to decide to continue to leave Ju Su in Wude County to stabilize the rear for him.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao summoned the generals to discuss the next countermeasures. Some of his advisers suggested retreating, some suggested continuing to launch an attack, some advocated a decisive battle with Pei Qing, and some established those who advised Cao Cao or the Xiongnu to send troops together. The counselors quarreled around these opinions, which made Yuan Shao even more upset after hearing this and didn't know how to do it. The meeting ended in a hurry.

Then, in order to make up for the mistakes, Guo Tu thought hard all night and suggested to Yuan Shao that he concentrated his superior forces to fight Pei Qing. As long as he could defeat Pei Qing in the decisive battle, he could earn his contributions in one battle and quickly realize the plan he had formulated before.

Although Pei Qing still seems to be in the offensive momentum and his military ration problem has not been exposed, I believe it will not last long. No matter how frugal it is, it will probably only last for half a month to one month at most.

After some thought, Yuan Shao felt it made sense, so he immediately summoned all his generals and decided to fight Pei Qing.

This time, Yuan Shao learned from the last lesson, and asked Yan Liang about the left army, Wen Chou was the right army, and Qu Yi was the central army. The three armies maintained a good formation and advanced in unison, so that they could avoid being raided by the enemy when the formation was not stable like the last time.

It has to be said that Guo Tu, a detailed strategist who seemed to be a detailed planner who was planted in Yuan's army, was actually very clever this time, because this was the only feasible way for Yuan Shao to give full play to his own advantages and at the same time avoiding Pei Qing's advantage.

"I really didn't expect that Guo Tu would have an intelligence explosion, but so what? Whether to fight or not is not Yuan Shao, he thought my military rations were not enough to support him, but my military rations were too much to drag him to death."

After receiving the letter from Yuan Shao's envoy, Pei Qing sneered secretly. He ignored Yuan Shao's request for a decisive battle between the two sides, and said with a faint smile: "Please reply to Yuan Benchu, our army had no intention of fighting, but Yuan Benchu ​​was pressing against each other, so our army had to rise up to defend itself. As for the decisive battle he proposed, I cannot accept it."

"What? Pei Qing's son actually refused? This little thief is really hateful!" Yuan Shao was so angry that he was so angry that he had hoped to save face through a dignified victory, but he did not expect that in the end, it was Pei Qing's flat rejection.

But Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "Actually, there is no way out. Since Pei Qing refused, we can take the opportunity to surround the Ye Wangcheng, and then build camps to use defense instead of attack. In this way, it is equivalent to a tendency to attack and defense. We have more people, and with defense, as long as we are more careful, there will definitely be no mistakes. As long as Pei Qing has run out of food for a while, that is our opportunity."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought it made sense, so he personally led a large army out of Huai County, came to Yewang City, surrounded Yewang City, and built dozens of camps overnight, and there were deep ditches and high bases, posing as a perseverance. This intention was very obvious. He wanted to consume Pei Qing's strength through position wars and attrition wars, and finally successfully drag Pei Qing to death.

However, what Yuan Shao didn't know was that Pei Qing was indifferent to this and looked no worried. First of all, Hao Zhao, who is the best at defending in his city, is fully responsible for defense matters, and it is impossible to give the other party any chance. On the other hand, Pei Qing was very confident in the military rations in the army. He believed that in the end, Yuan Shao might not be able to consume him, especially when he was determined and unintentional, Yuan Shao would not be able to take advantage.

So the two sides continued to confront each other while almost being at peace. Half a month passed in a flash, but Pei Qing's army was still calm and there was no sign of chaos. This surprised Yuan Shao. He really couldn't understand why Pei Qing was so calm until now.

However, a few days later, news that made Yuan Shao feel excited came. That night, just as Yuan Shao secretly ignored Pei Qing in his heart, he suddenly heard the return from his personal soldiers, saying that Wang Ling and Guo Huai, a native of Taiyuan in Bingzhou, came to ask for a meeting.

"Haha, it turns out that someone is here. It seems that Pei Qing can't hold on." Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately went out to greet him.

"I heard that Yuan Gong is respectful to his wise men for a long time, and today I saw it, it is indeed worthy of his reputation." Wang Ling and Guo Huai immediately looked admirable and bowed respectfully to Yuan Shao after seeing Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's face was full of humble expressions, and he said humbly to the two of them: "The two gentlemen have been too rewarded. I wonder what advice do you have when you come here at night?"

"Mr. Yuan is really polite. How can I defeat the Mo Jiang? Wang Ling, the former Situ Wang Yun, was the nephew of the former Situ Wang Yun, and Wang Situ and Yuan were officials in the same dynasty and were judged by their peers. So if we calculate this way, the Mo Jiang is still the younger generation of Duke Yuan. How dare the Mo Jiang act like this in front of the seniors?"

Wang Ling saluted Yuan Shao respectfully, and then said calmly: "To be honest, the reason why the Mo General came here was really a bit presumptuous to ask for the Duke Yuan's help. Although the Yewang City seems to be calm, the situation is not calm now. The food in the army has been exhausted. The soldiers swept the grain together and had a full meal. However, they will have to stay hungry from tomorrow morning. In this case, it will take a few days to cause a full panic. This is also a precaution for the sake of

To avoid starving to death, he wanted to hide under the custody of Mr. Yuan. As long as Mr. Yuan is willing to give him a reward, Mr. Mo will have his life from now on. To be honest, Mr. Pei is still good to Mr. Mo. If he is just Mr. Mo himself, he will not be willing to go on this path even if he starves to death. However, Mr. Mo also has many generals and many families under his command. Mr. Mo can't watch them die in vain. In order for them to have a way of life, Mr. Mo is so arrogant that he will be begged to Mr. Yuan's disciples, hoping that Mr. Yuan can accommodate him."

Yuan Shao sighed softly when he heard this, "This Pei Qing is really stupid. His lair is in Chang'an, not in Hanoi. If he led his troops to retreat directly, how could I really take his life? My purpose was not in Pei Qing's life, but for the territory of Hanoi and Hedong. Pei Qing's extra territory is just a waste of food and military strength, and it is not worth protecting. If he figured out this and gave me these territory directly, not only would he not have any worries about life, but I would also be grateful to him. In this case, I would be good that both of us work together? It's a pity that my kindness was regarded as

The donkey is liver and lungs, so I value my two sides, and the troubles are caused by the disaster, and I am still not at peace. It is really regrettable. I can understand Mr. Wang's words. Pei Qing is willing to put the whole city's military and civilians in danger because of his own face, or on the other hand, for his own ambition, and this behavior is really disgusting. But fortunately, there are wise and kind-hearted men like Mr. can think about the problem from the standpoint of the vast number of military and civilians, so he is willing to surrender to me. From this point of view, Mr. Wang is the real wise and Daren person. Only with his mind, can the whole city avoid a disaster of war."

"How can this general be defeated? General Mo just felt that he could not bear to abandon these brothers and families in the army who shared the same day and night, so he came to see Mr. Yuan with a try. Now seeing Mr. Yuan's compatriotism, Mr. Yuan felt very relieved. Mr. Yuan's thought of kindness can allow hundreds of thousands of residents to survive. I really don't know how we can repay this kindness and virtue?"

"Haha, when Mr. Wang said this, Shao felt a little embarrassed. I, the Yuan family, have been tiring to eat the wealth of Han and have learned a lot of civil and martial arts. Naturally, I have to repay the kindness of my husband and comfort the people. Only then can I live up to the real man and come to this world for a walk,"
