In fact, Guo Tu should bear a lot of responsibility in this battle. It was his constant instigation of relationships and misleading that prompted Yuan Shao to make mistakes again and again, and eventually resulted in such a bitter result. However, Guo Tu did not repent and became more and more serious. It was rare in the world to seek to murder Tian Feng and be so unrepentant.

The result did make Guo Tu succeed. When he was still back to Jizhou, he slandered Yuan Shao and said, "When Tian Feng heard that his lord had failed, he actually clapped and laughed, saying that his language was correct."

Yuan Shao originally wanted to reuse Tian Feng, but when he heard this, he was furious and immediately ordered Tian Feng to be executed. As a result, such a wise man died under Guo Tu's slander, which made those who heard it sigh.

Of course this is the future. Now Yuan Shao is leading the army to retreat slowly. When his army came to Xiuwu County in the northeast of Huai County, he saw that the city was covered with heavily guarded soldiers. After a general on the city tower saw Yuan Shao's flag, he quickly ordered the door to be opened and went out of the city to greet him.

Yuan Shao looked up and saw that the general was Ju Su's son Ju Hu.

At this time, Ju Hu was only about twenty years old, but his demeanor was no longer extraordinary. Yuan Shao was surprised to see Ju Shu and his soldiers being heavily guarded and quickly asked what had happened. There was no war in Wude County now, so why Ju Hu's guard was so severe.

But Ju Hu said, "Don't you know? Now Cao Cao's generals Li Dian and Shi Huan are leading their troops to attack Wude County, our army. Fortunately, my father led his army to defend it. If not, let alone Wude and Xiuwu, even Huojia, Jixian and Gongxian would fall into Cao Cao's hands. My father was worried that Cao Cao would divide his troops to attack the rear, so he sent the last general to guard this place. In addition, it is said that Cao Cao took advantage of the confrontation between the lord and Pei Qing, and he actually attacked the east and west, pretending to attack Lu Bu of Xuzhou, but suddenly attacked Qingzhou. In just half a month, he occupied Beihai, Donglai, Jinan, Le'an, Qi and other places. All the territory south of the Yellow River were annexed by him."

"What? How dare Cao Aman do this?" Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this and said gritting his teeth: "He established an alliance with me. When I was fighting with Pei Qing, he not only did not provide me with any help, but instead took the blame and seized my land. It was really hateful!"

Yuan Shao then ordered all the soldiers of the army to immediately rush to Wude County and attack Li Dian and Shi Huan with Ju Su.

However, Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "My lord, this matter is absolutely impossible. Now our army's morale is already turbulent. There are Pei Qing's pursuers behind him. If he goes to Wude at this time, even if he defeats Li Dian and Shi Huan, he will definitely be chased by Pei Qing."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he hesitated. Of course, he was willing to attack Cao Cao's arrogance, but if he risked his life, it would be a bit worth it.

But Ju Hu stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, lord, my father has already told the generals of the Mo. If the lord comes, you don't have to go to help. Just go directly to Jizhou. As long as the Mo and his son are there, Cao Cao's trick will not succeed."

Yuan Shao felt even more ashamed when he heard this, but he had no fighting spirit now and really had no courage to take risks to help Ju Su. He had to comfort Ju Hu for a few words, and then led his army to leave Xiuwu County and head straight for Jizhou.

Ju Hu looked at Yuan Shao's departure and felt a little disappointed, because he still remembered that his father once said that if Yuan Shao was willing to stay this time, the father and son would still have the possibility of survival, but if Yuan Shao left, he would have to show his ambitions by death.

"Although he can work hard for the lord, this is also the reason for his ambition, but the lord is reluctant to divide his troops to save his father, even if he sends a general, it is really disappointing to do this." Ju Hu sighed secretly, and suddenly felt a little worthless in his thoughts of serving Yuan Shao.

However, before he could think too much, he saw smoke and dust rolling in the west of the city, and a team slowly arrived. The team was neat and solemn, and it was obvious that it was not Yi and he was a man.

Ju Hu had known that Yuan Shao had returned from a great defeat. Now that he saw this army, he knew that it was Pei Qing's army. He knew that his strength was definitely not an opponent, but this could not shake his determination to defend the city to the death. So he led his army to the top of the city, ordered the entire army to be on guard, and prepared for a desperate battle.

Soon after, an army came to the city and pointed at Ju Hu and said loudly: "I am Xu Gongming, the general under the command of General Cavalry. Who is the guard at the top of the city? You are broken into small cities and have few soldiers. If you want to stop our army, it is like a mantis armed with a chariot. You can quickly open the city to surrender, and you can spare your life. If you resist stubbornly, what will happen in the future? You don't need to say me?"

"It turns out that the famous Xu Huang is the army supervisor under Duke Yuan. I am Ju Hu, the son of General Fenwei Ju Shu. I have always known that General Xu is both wise and brave, and his soldiers are extremely powerful. It is easy to break through my small city. However, my duty is to defend the land and the people is the duty. Not to mention you, even if your lord, Mr. Pei, comes, will definitely stick to this city. A real man should follow Ma Fubo and Ma Jie to wrap his body. How can he learn from those who live in silence in the face of the battle?"

"Haha, what a lofty ambition, Ju Hu, I admire your noble character, but now everyone is their own masters. Since I have come here on order, I naturally cannot return empty-handed. I will do my best to break through the city. If you are lucky enough to die, I will talk to you about your noble ambitions. If you unfortunately fail to fight, I will have to erect a stone tablet and write to the tomb of the righteous man Ju Hu."

After Xu Huang finished speaking, he ordered the army to start attacking the city. In an instant, the soldiers were like a scattered crowd, and they completely occupied the entire city in just one meal. Ju Hu tried to escape, but Xu Huang captured alive on the spot.

Ju Hu's face suddenly turned as if he was ashamed and sighed. He originally thought that he could hold on for three or five days, at least he could persist until his lord Yuan Shao fled back to Jizhou. His father Ju Su could leave calmly after receiving the news, but he only delayed the other party's meal. In this way, not only did his father face the danger of being attacked on both sides, but even his lord Yuan Shao did not get rid of the danger of being pursued. His sacrifice was in vain and had no value at all.
