Chapter 1364 Candidates

Guo Tu was ready, so he quickly supported Yuan Shao and shouted to the outside. Two doctors came in and checked Yuan Shao's health. Yuan Shao was furious and kicked one of the doctors to the ground, shouting: "Get out!"

The doctors looked at Guo Tu uneasyly, and the face sitting on the ground was pale. Yuan Shao hit his lower abdomen, which made him sweat coldly and couldn't even straighten his waist. Guo Tu waved his hand and signaled them to go out first. Yuan Shao still had the strength to kick people, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

After stirring for a while, Yuan Shao calmed down a little. He sat by the bed, pressed his knees with one hand, stroked his beating heart with the other, and took a deep breath. Guo Tu didn't speak, and stood quietly aside with a melancholy eyes. Yuan Shao was fifty this year, and he might not feel it himself, but the people next to him knew very well that he had already shown signs of aging. If he couldn't rest well, if he continued to work so hard, he might collapse one day.

This made Guo Tu very uneasy. He was two years older than Yuan Shao, and the others were almost the same. In a few years, they were all old people. Sun Jian was just four and Sun Ce was just young. In terms of age, they had no advantage, and they left Yuan Shao less and less time. The only person who could confront them for a long time was Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan had just returned to Yecheng and had not had time to clear his reputation of being defeated and captured.

Time is endless.

Yuan Shao raised his head and his face became much calmer after a while. He took the military newspaper from Guo Tu, read it carefully, then put it down weakly, supported his forehead with his hands, and closed his eyes in pain.

This was really an unexpected setback. Huang Wan was trapped in the mountains by Huang Zhong at this time. Tuo Yi and Xun Yan could not stand there and refuse to save them. They could only retreat to Xiangcheng and give up all the east of Rushui to Sun Ce. Even so, they might not be able to rescue Huang Wan, and Luoyang faces a major crisis of changing hands.

Apart from Huang Wan, who among the party members in the court can handle the important task of conquering Luoyang? Yuan Shao thought hard, but no one could remember. In terms of ability and friendship, Huang Wan was the most suitable candidate. The others were either chatting or having a rat, and loyalty was awesome.

"Public, what can you do?" Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at Guo Tu beside him. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were a little wandering.

Guo Tu could see clearly that he knew what Yuan Shao was worried about. Luoyang is the world and the old capital, and it had a great relationship. If the election was wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. Huang Wan was trapped, and there were many dangers. Yuan Shao had to consider a suitable candidate, but he was anxious and could not find it. Yuan Shao asked him for help, but was worried that he would recommend Yuan Tan. This was indeed a good opportunity. The situation was dangerous and Yuan Shao did not have many choices.

But he would not do this. He would only make a temporary plan, but would push Yuan Tan to danger.

"Lord, I have no choice but to ask my husband to discuss it?"

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, very surprised. Guo Tu took the initiative to persuade him to ask Ju Su for advice. This was probably the first time in history. As a representative of Ru Ying Group, Guo Tu and Tian Feng, Ju Su have always been incompatible. Even if there is really no way, he should ask Xu You for help, not Ju Su.

Could it be because of Ju Hu? Yuan Shao was suspicious, but he said nothing, and asked someone to invite Ju Su. In the middle of the night, Ju Su was asleep in a deep state and was woken up from his sleep. He washed up briefly and rushed over. He had not yet woken up completely. After reading the military newspaper, he was stunned and didn't say a word for a long time.

Yuan Shao was a little impatient. "What can you do if you are?"

"Ah?" Ju Su fucked the terror, his sleepiness disappeared, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons. "My lord, the most urgent task is to be the first to be Kuo Yuntian, Xun Xiuruo makes every effort to rescue, occupy Xiangcheng and Jiaxian, and ensure the way out; the first is to make the worst plan and arrange the candidates to take over Luoyang, just in case."

"Yuntian and Xiu would definitely do the rescue. What are the recommendations for this candidate to take over Luoyang?"

Ju Su's eyes kept twitching. He understood why Guo Tu was beside him, but Yuan Shao wanted to invite him. This candidate was too sensitive and had to consider all aspects of the factors. If you were not careful, this candidate would cause endless troubles, and the recommender would be responsible.

Seeing that Ju Su didn't speak, Yuan Shao became even more anxious. "Do you have any worries?"

Ju Su smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, Luoyang is well-connected and is surrounded by enemies. There is Zhou Yu in the south, Black Mountain bandits in the north, Sun's father and son in the east, and Dong Zhuo's remnants in the west. Those who sit in Luoyang must not only have reputation, but also have the ability to deal with it. Otherwise, they will be exhausted and unable to escape defeat. It is not necessary to be hasty."

Yuan Shao sighed softly. He could understand Ju Su's worries, but he was the same. This person was too difficult. Even if he was allowed to take charge of Luoyang, he would not have the confidence to win, let alone others. Of course, Ju Su also reminded him that Qu Yi was not suitable. He was thinking just now that if he really couldn't find a suitable person, he could only let Qu Yi go. Although Qu Yi's reputation was a little worse, his ability to use troops was second to none. Only he could deal with the complex situation in Luoyang. As for the problem of insufficient reputation, he would just transfer a famous party member from Chang'an.

Now Ju Su said that there were people from Xiliang in Hedong and Hongnong, and Qu Yi was not suitable.

"How about Xu You?" Yuan Shao proposed another alternative candidate. Xu You was from Nanyang. He had been with him for many years. He was loyal, smart and courageous, and resourceful. He had only short-term leadership of troops and had no record of making any progress. After Chunyu Qiong died in the battle, the actual combat ability of the Ruying faction was generally suspected, and sending Xu You to take charge of Luoyang may cause a lot of criticism.

Similar to Xu You, Xun Yan also had the problem of too shallow qualifications in the military.

Ju Su thought about it and shook his head. He did not agree with Xu You. Xu You was greedy for money and was a sloppy person. He was suspected of being a general under Yuan Shao's command. He asked him to go to Luoyang. Without any restraint, he would still scrape the land in Luoyang three feet? Although Guo Tu was on the side, his opinions would eventually fall into Xu You's ears. Ju Su still said, "Lord, General Xu is from Nanyang. What if Sun Ce sent the party of Nanyang Township to lure him with benefits?"

"What should I do?" Yuan Shao became anxious. He also felt that Xu You was not suitable, otherwise he would not be ranked behind Tuo Yi. But this was not enough, that was not enough. You couldn't give Luoyang to Sun Ce, right? If Huang Wan had an accident, Dong Yue and Zhang Yan would definitely be moved, and there would be little time left for him. If you delayed it, Luoyang would fall into the hands of others.

Ju Su was helpless.

At this time, Guo Tu coughed gently: "Lord, I have a candidate."

Yuan Shao and Ju Su looked over at the same time, but their eyes were different. Yuan Shao was angry that Guo Tu had a suitable candidate but did not say it, but Ju Su Su suspected that Guo Tu might recommend Yuan Tan. After Yuan Tan was released, Guo Tu, who had always been cautious, unexpectedly went to meet Yuan Tan, and even had a conflict with Yuan Shao. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?

"who?"

"Shen Zhengnan."

"Shen Zhengnan?" Yuan Shao and Ju Su said at the same time, with surprisingly consistent expressions. They did not expect Guo Tu to recommend Shen Pei. Shen Pei is the representative of Jizhou people and has always been a mortal enemy with Guo Tu.

"In terms of ability and prestige, no one is more suitable than Shen Zhengnan to take charge of Luoyang." Guo Tu said slowly: "If Shen Zhengnan can lead the elite Jizhou troops to Henan, he can not only take charge of Luoyang, but also restrain Sun Ce and help the lord seize Yuzhou. Lord, Sun Jian is trapped in Junyi, Sun Ce is stalemate with Tuo Yi in Yingchuan. The winner is here, and the opportunity cannot be missed, and the time will never come again."
