() A banquet ends happily, at least that’s how it seems on the surface.

After the guests had almost dispersed, Yuan Shao walked up to Han Fu and bowed slightly: "Lord Zhou Mu!"

"Benchu?! What's the matter?" Han Fu said drunkenly.

When he received the news of Wu Zhaohou's retreat, Han Fu felt as if a big mountain was suddenly lifted away from his head. He was so happy that he naturally drank a little too much.

However, this was exactly what Yuan Shao wanted to see, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "My lord, according to my subordinates, this move of Wu Zhaohou has the intention of crossing the sea and crossing the Chencang secretly! Therefore, I hope that I can lead troops to guard the North City.

, in case Wu Zhaohou makes a surprise attack!"

Han Fu's head was in a state of confusion at the moment. Hearing Yuan Shao's words, he didn't think much about it. He smiled stupidly, shook his body and waved his hand: "Benchu... hiccup, what Benchu ​​said is true. In this case, let's leave it to Benchu.

, go and guard Beicheng!"

"Thank you, sir! I will take my leave for the time being!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed to express his thanks. At this moment, he wanted to guard Beicheng not to guard against Wu Zhaohou, but for another purpose!

Thinking of the words Xu You said when he left the table, Yuan Shao felt as if his heart was scratching a cat, and he couldn't wait to say goodbye.

Han Fu pointed helplessly in the direction Yuan Shao left, and finally shouted: "Here, help me go back to the backyard to rest!"

...

After Yuan Shao walked out of the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion alone, his suppressed expression could no longer bear it any longer. He pressed the sword in his hand and hurried towards the military camp. The joy on his face revealed Yuan Shao's mood at the moment.

As he walked, he murmured to himself: "Wu Zhaohou! Wu Zhaohou, by leaving, you have given me a great gift!"

As he spoke, his steps became faster and faster. During this period, he happened to bump into Jushou who was walking with his head lowered. The two of them suddenly collided and both fell to the ground.

Jushou rubbed his waist and stood up with a grin on his face. Seeing that the person who was knocked down was Yuan Shaoxu, he quickly walked over, helped Yuan Shaoxu up, and said, "What's wrong with you, Mr. Benchu, why you are traveling in such a hurry?"

"Nothing, I'm just tired from the journey. Just go back and have a rest! Farewell!" Yuan Shao was anxious about what Xu You had said before. He didn't want to stay for a long time, so he cupped his hands and left directly.

"It's a bit weird! It seems that Yuan Shao also has evil intentions!" Jushou looked at Yuan Shao's hurried away figure and raised his eyebrows.

...

After Gongsun Zan returned to the military camp, he lay down directly on the bed in the temporary camp.

Looking at the tent roof, as if he wanted to see through it and see the sky, he murmured: "Marquis Wu Zhao's sudden withdrawal must have a profound meaning! But what is the meaning?"

After thinking, he shook his head, turned over, and shouted outside the tent: "Go and invite Mr. Jian Yong!"

Gongsun Zan was born in a humble background. Although he had many powerful generals under his command, there were very few civil servants available. Ever since Tian Yu and others got into trouble, Gongsun Zan could not find anyone to discuss matters with!

Fortunately, I met my former classmate Liu Bei not long ago and temporarily borrowed Jian Yong from him!

In his opinion, Jian Yong's ability is not inferior to Tian Yu and others, or even better, because Jian Yong speaks clearly and eloquently, unlike Tian Yu, who is like a boring gourd and can't hold it in for a long time.

Say a word!

Gongsun Zan's idea is very simple. As civil servants, they should know as much knowledge as possible. The more the better, and those who talk a lot are naturally talented and capable people. Otherwise, how could they talk so much?

And those who talk little are naturally useless, and those who have nothing to say will naturally be speechless!

Therefore, he was extremely kind to Jian Yong. No matter where he lived, he was only one room away from him. Even if he was camping, there was only one tent.

A quarter of an hour later, Jian Yong, who was dressed in light clothing, immediately opened the tent and walked in. He raised his fist slightly and said, "General!"

"Xianhe, are you here? Sit down, sit down!" As soon as Gongsun Zan saw Jian Yong coming in, he quickly held Jian Yong's hand and pulled him to the side of the table. Then he closed the curtain and sat down by himself.

Back on the bed after returning to the first place.

After a pause, he organized his words, and then said in a deep voice: "Xianhe, I believe you have heard about the sudden withdrawal of troops by Marquis Wu Zhao before. What do you think of this?!"

When Jian Yong heard this, his eyes flashed, and he thought so. He pinched his chin slightly and said thoughtfully: "From my subordinate's point of view, there is nothing strange about Marquis Wu Zhao suddenly withdrawing his troops!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan said in confusion:

"I don't know what Xianhe said. How can I see it? You know, Wu Zhaohou has the upper hand now! He only needs to work hard and he can go straight to Jizhou!"

"In war, any situation changes rapidly!" Jian Yong glanced at Gongsun Zan calmly, and continued to analyze methodically with guilt in his heart:

"Wuzhaohou's men and horses drove far away from Jizhou, which took a long time. Moreover, his troops and horses were elite, and the food, grass and baggage needed to be consumed doubled. Even Jizhou could not bear such a huge consumption, let alone Wuzhaohou who was in the bitter cold of Youzhou.

?

Moreover, it is certainly a good thing to be vigorous. However, the soldiers and horses under his command have gone through great battles and seem to have the strength to fight again, but in fact they are already weak. If he cannot surrender in one battle, the general can imagine that it must be Wu Zhaohou.

We were defeated! Under such circumstances, it is inevitable to withdraw our troops!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan nodded in agreement, and finally a hint of joy appeared on his face: "At first, I thought that Marquis Wu Zhao's move had a deeper meaning, but I didn't expect that he had to retreat as a last resort!"

As he said that, he looked at Jian Yong with admiration and said with admiration: "Sir, your wisdom is truly astounding!"

"It's just a trivial matter, the general praised it highly!" A flash of guilt flashed in Jian Yong's eyes, and he calmly stood up and asked to leave: "In this case, I am still a little tired, so I will leave first!"

"Sir, please!" Gongsun Zan smiled and pointed outside the tent.

Jian Yong had just started, and as if he remembered something, he looked at Gongsun Zan and whispered: "In addition, general, this time the general is in Xindu, it is a big opportunity!"

With that said, before Gongsun Zan came to his senses, Jian Yong had already opened the curtain and walked out. When he got outside the tent, Jian Yong sighed, looked back at the tent, and murmured: "I'm sorry, General Gongsun.

If you don’t suffer big losses, it’s hard for my lord to make a comeback!”

...

As soon as Yuan Shao returned to the almost-built military camp, he went straight to the general's camp.

At this moment, Xu You and Guo Tu were already in the tent and had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw Yuan Shao coming in, Guo Tu was the first to speak: "My lord, is it done?"

"That guy was drunk and gave all the general seals of Beicheng to me!" Yuan Shao smiled and took out the general seals from his waist, and then sat directly on the main seat.

"That's good!" Seeing this, Xu You breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and tightened the curtains, and then said: "My lord, this retreat of Marquis Wu Zhao could be a conspiracy or a fact, but for

For me, it’s definitely an opportunity!”

"Sir, it's okay to say it!" Yuan Shao stretched out his hand, his expression a little excited. He had been waiting for this day for who knows how long, how could he not be excited?

As a subordinate of Yuan Shao, Xu You was both honored and humiliated. Now he was very excited. He lowered his voice and said: "Han Fu has stationed troops ten miles outside the city. Now the number of soldiers and horses in the city is only a few thousand! If we can attract officials in the city to serve as internal responders,

, and then join forces with Gongsun Zan, promising him to capture Jizhou, divide its land equally, and capture Han Fu in one fell swoop. At that time, we will use internal officials to stabilize Jizhou, and Jizhou can be settled!"

"Jizhou is a land rich in money and food. Those who are capable can get it. The general must not ask for benevolence and righteousness!" Guo Tu said aloud.

Yuan Shao also knew that there was no need for benevolence and righteousness at this moment, so he asked directly: "Who in the city can be the internal response?"

"At the end of the day, although Xun and Chen are loyal, they still care about the general, so they can be internal agents. In addition, don't take advantage of Guan Chun. Chang Shi and Geng Wu will not be easy to surrender. If necessary, kill them immediately!"

Xu You had a thorough understanding of the situation in Jizhou before he came here, and he spoke in an orderly manner, which made Guo Tu look at him with suspicion.

"In this case, without further delay, Gongze, you are responsible for contacting Gongsun Zan, and Ziyuan, you are responsible for contacting the internal affairs in the city! It must be completed within seven days!" Yuan Shao's order seemed quite decisive at this moment.

"Subordinates take orders!"
