Chapter 1311: The Real and the Real (Page 1/1)

Yuan Shao pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "What are you busy with?"

"I just thought about Sun Ce's next possible actions just now." Ju Suqiang was uneasy, knowing that Yuan Shao was pretending, he still had to act with him.

"Can you get something?"

Ju Su thought for a moment. "I gained something."

"Let me tell me." Yuan Shao clapped his hands and asked someone to get some wine and food. "The long night is long and it's hard to fall asleep. You and I might as well talk to each other."

The follower almost responded and quickly merged the food and drink. Ju Su was even more convinced that Yuan Shao had something to do, but he couldn't tell it out, so he had to guess and said, "It's been nearly a month since the lord's army was at Junyi City. General Kuo and Taiwei Huang's army had also entered Yingchuan, but Sun Ce kept holding his troops and stayed away from the battlefield. This seemed very abnormal. I think he seemed to be waiting for something."

"Then what can he wait for?" Yuan Shao raised his wine glass and laughed loudly: "Wait until Zhang Yan goes down the mountain, wait for Gongsun Zan to go south, or Dong Yue goes east?"

"These are all possible, but in addition to this, there is another possibility." Ju Su raised his head and hesitated. "Waiting for the result of the Qingzhou battlefield."

Yuan Shao lowered his eyebrows, took a sip of wine, slowly turned his glass, and looked careless, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at the military newspaper beside him. "Qingzhou?"

Ju Su accurately grasped the changes in Yuan Shao's tone and eyes, and he was immediately relieved. He and Tian Feng advocated leaving Qingzhou, Guo Tu advocated leaving Junyi, and Yuan Shao finally adopted Guo Tu's suggestion. Tian Feng had been insisting, but Yuan Shao was driven back to Yecheng by Yuan Shao for the crime of Ju army. He now mentioned Qingzhou again and it was easy to anger Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao had no sign of getting angry, but instead felt a little guilty. Thinking of the obviously rubbed military newspaper, it should be that Qingzhou had failed in the battlefield.

"Yes. In addition to Sun Jian, the generals under Sun Ce have three of them as the most: First, Zhou Yu, who is in charge of Jingzhou, who is on par with Sun Ce; second, Shen You, who ruled the scholars in Yangzhou, who are in charge of Jiangdong; finally, Taishi Ci, who is the first war zone governor under Sun Ce, who controls Rencheng and Lu areas. Now Zhou Yu is in charge of Jiangling and prevents Cao Cao from going east. Shen You, Taishi Ci goes north and attacks Qingzhou from east to west. Which is more important, it can be roughly known."

Yuan Shao's eyes twitched, he raised his glass, took a sip of the wine slowly, and put it in his mouth, without saying anything for a long time. After receiving the battle report of Yuan Xi's defeat, he was a little panicked when he learned that Shen You's subordinates had armored cavalry. He didn't know how many armored cavalry Sun Ce had, but Shen You, as a partial master, had armored cavalry, which shocked him. Now after listening to Ju Su's analysis, he realized that Ju Su might be right, and Sun Ce's focus was not on Jun Yi, but in Qingzhou.

If Yuan Xi fails and Qingzhou changes hands, the situation will be very unfavorable to him. Shen You and Taishi Ci will take advantage of the victory to go north, seize the Bohai Sea, re-open the contact with Gongsun Zan, or advance westward, seize Qinghe, attack Wei County, and take Yecheng directly. He has all brought out the main force of Jizhou. Only more than 30,000 subordinates of Shen Pei are left in Yecheng, mainly infantry and lack cavalry. Facing Shen You, who has armored cavalry, Shen Pei can only defend, and outside the city will inevitably be plundered by Shen You.

Because of killing Hu Ling, Yuan Shao could no longer send a cavalry to harass our province, but Shen You had no such concerns. He could plunder Jizhou in large numbers. If this is true, Yuan Shao would be faceless. If he could not protect the people of Jizhou, would the people of Jizhou still support him?

Therefore, it is most beneficial to Sun Ce to defend Junyi and send partial troops to capture Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao regretted it a little. If he had known this, he would have listened to Tian Feng and Ju Su's opinions and sent troops to Qingzhou. But now the army has arrived at Junyi and the stone throwing machine is ready. Tuo Yi and others have gone deep into Yingchuan. If they just left like this, wouldn't they be laughed at by the people of the world?

Yuan Shao hesitated and handed Yuan Xi's military report to Ju Su. It was impossible to hide it. He now needed Ju Su's advice. He pretended to be calm and ate the dishes and drank wine, but his eyes were paying attention to Ju Su's expression. He didn't know what Ju Su would look like, whether he was proud or shocked?

But Ju Su was mentally prepared and had no expression. After reading the military newspaper, he put down gently, held the wine glass and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Is the lord worried that Sun Ce would have more armored horses?"

Yuan Shao didn't say anything, just looked at Ju Su. He was indeed worried about this problem. He spent the whole afternoon considering this possibility. Sun Ce lacked horses, but it was not at all. With the support of Han Sui and Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan, it was still possible for Sun Ce to gather more than a thousand war horses. In addition, Sun Ce had obvious technical advantages, and it was not impossible to build horse armor, especially with Xiliang generals like Ma Chao and Han Sui. Horse armor came from the Western Regions, and the people of Xiliang were not unfamiliar with Xiliang people. Even the warriors who acted as armor cavalry were all Xiliang people.

"I think the lord doesn't have to worry."

"Why?"

"First, the armored cavalry is good at breaking the infantry formation, and has no advantage when facing the cavalry, especially when the number is limited and the protection of the light cavalry is lacking; secondly, Yuzhou was repeatedly affected by war and epidemic last year, and Sun Ce was not in control, and he was busy everywhere, with huge expenses, and the treasury was empty, so he probably didn't have much financial resources to support a large number of armored cavalry. Finally, and the most important point, military tactics are so powerful that it can't be shown. If Sun Ce really had a large number of armored cavalry, he would definitely hide it tightly. When he was fighting with the lord, he would attack with a surprise weapon and decide the outcome, how could he let the lord get the news and be prepared?"

Ju Su raised his wine glass. "Qingzhou and Jizhou are important, but they are not worth mentioning compared to the lord. Sun Ce is cunning and cannot tell the difference between them. Therefore, I guess that this must be a trick to doubt the military."

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and let out a breath quietly. His originally stiff expression finally relaxed a little. He looked at Ju Su with satisfaction and was secretly glad. It seemed that it was right to drive Tian Feng back, and Ju Su was there.

"Public and Qingzhou lost, what can you do?"

Ju Su shook his head. "Victory is a common thing for military affairs. Besides, Yan Liang is just a general. When facing Shen You's main force, he can fight to the point of killing and killing, and is not considered defeat. However, it is not only Shen You who entered Qingzhou, but also Taishi Ci, so he must be guarded. I suggest gathering the troops of Bohai and Qinghe County to reinforce Qingzhou, intercept Taishi Ci, and then sending generals to command heavy troops to the river and wait for the opportunity to ensure that Jizhou is safe. Qingzhou is broken and Shen You can't hold on for too long. If the stalemate continues, Qingzhou will become a wound for Sun Ce to bleed."

Yuan Shao weighed the pros and cons, and finally let go of a big stone in his heart. If he had to move his troops to Qingzhou now, it would undoubtedly be like he thought he was wrong in his decision-making, and his face would be greatly disappointed. Compared to Tian Feng, Ju Su not only had a broad vision, long-term vision, and a good temper. If he was not from Jizhou, it would be perfect. Although Ju Su's suggestions just now were good, they were still inseparable from the countryside. Whether it was Qinghe or Weijun, they all belonged to the southern family of Jizhou, especially when they sent generals to command heavy troops, this was almost a suggestion that Shen Pei was commanding the troops to fight.

"Duke is right." Yuan Shao said lightly: "If Xianyi can protect Qingzhou from harm, I can also attack Junyi with peace of mind. Hehe, God protects me and knows that I will go to war tomorrow, I specially sent a head of the priest of the priest. Duke, we captured Sun Jian's son Sun Yi." After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.

Ju Su was surprised. "Sun Yi? Is that child in his teens?"

The smile on Yuan Shao's face froze, turning into an unconcealed embarrassment. "Yes, but... he is dead."
