Chapter 301 Ju Shu's Strategy
Yuan Shao was chased by Gao Lan because there was no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and sighed secretly: "I really didn't expect that Yuan Shao would die here."
However, at this moment, a person from afar could hear a loud shout from afar: "Gaolan is so arrogant, Guangping Jushu is here!"
"Mr. Ju, I didn't expect that he would come to save me at the critical moment!" Yuan Shao didn't expect that Ju Su would come to save him at this time. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. Fortunately, he treated the other party like that, but he didn't expect that he would come to save me at the critical moment.
"Mr. and" Yuan Shao was moved and wanted to say something, but he saw Ju Su shouting: "Lord, don't say anything, go quickly!"
Seeing this, Yuan Shao had to swallow his whole body, then turned his head and left.
"Old thief Yuan Shao, don't go!" After seeing Yuan Shao leave, Gao Lan immediately rode his horse to chase him, but saw Ju Su leading his army to stand in front of him, and he didn't even step back. Gao Lan killed for a long time. Although he had a lot of results, he did not kill these soldiers after all. Moreover, he knew that Ju Su was a loyal and kind person and could not bear to harm his life. He had no choice but to lead the army back. However, Gao Lan still said: "Mr. Ju, you and I were colleagues when they were under the Han Gong's account. At that time, Ju Gong took great care of Lan, so this person cannot ignore his past friendship, but he will never be the next time. See you next time, don't blame Lan for being ruthless!"
Ju Su didn't say anything about Gao Lan. He also knew that his lord did too much at the beginning, and he actually listened to slander and killed Zhang He and Gao Lan's family, forcing them to surrender to Pei Qing. Now that he met on the battlefield, Gao Lan was able to give up chasing Yuan Shao because of his hatred for killing his father, which was enough to give him face.
"Oh, I don't know how many blood and tears I need to make up for this mistake. I hope my lord can remember this lesson and stop making such mistakes again. In this way, the situation can be restored and at least the foundation in front of me can be preserved. But once we are like before, I am afraid that we will be imprisoned in the future."
Ju Su sighed secretly and led his army to leave slowly, with inexplicable worries.
Yuan Shao was rescued by Ju Su and finally got rid of the pursuit. He ran away for more than ten miles before stopping. Seeing that the other party had not caught up, he felt a little relieved and ordered people to rectify the troops, gather soldiers, and calculate the losses.
After some statistics, Yuan Shao lost tens of thousands of people in this battle, and most of the tens of thousands of people were trampled on each other and died of soldiers. Only one or two thousand people were actually killed by the enemy.
Fortunately, the main generals and counselors were not damaged, which was a blessing in disguise.
After stabilizing, Yuan Shao kept asking about Ju Su's whereabouts and sent soldiers to inquire about the news. When Ju Su finally came back safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately appointed Ju Su as the general of the army, Fenwei, and returned the troops that had originally belonged to Ju Su but later assigned to Guo Tu to Ju Su, and assigned two thousand soldiers from his central army to Ju Su's command.
After all this was done, Yuan Shao said again: "If there is no Gongyou today, my life will be over. Until today, I only realized that Gongyou is a true loyal and kind person. Gongyou, now that our army has been defeated, I wonder what good ideas do you have?"
Ju Su thought for a while and said, "Now our army is defeated, morale is declining, and forcibly attacking is not conducive to our army. Therefore, for the sake of the present, we should deploy defense first. There are many soldiers and fewer people on the other side, so we will definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack. Moreover, Pei Qing used a lot of food and grass to provide relief to the people, and the food and grass in the army are not sufficient. After a long time, he will withdraw his troops because of the food and exhaustion. At that time, we will launch an attack again, and we will naturally be invincible."
"Okay! Gong and I are indeed a clever plan." After hearing this, Yuan Shao was filled with joy and exclaimed loudly. He immediately ordered the army to return to Huai County, concentrate on the defense of his subordinates, and do not fight with them in a deep ditch and high base.
Then tens of thousands of soldiers of Yuan's army entered Huai County and actively built defenses, but no longer took the initiative to launch an attack.
After the news reached the Wild King, Pei Qing and others were surprised. They really didn't know why Yuan Shao had changed his temperament and suddenly issued such a clever order.
Fortunately, when Xun You withdrew from Huai County, he secretly left some fine works there. These fine works were mixed into the city and maintained contact with Xun You through some secret means.
It was through these detailed works that Xun You found out that it was Ju Su who saved Yuan Shao's name on the battlefield. Yuan Shao was grateful for Ju Su's life-saving grace, and adopted his opinion, actively held on, and was not in a hurry to seek war, and was ready to win the war through a war of attrition.
After the news came, many strategists were worried because there was indeed not much food in Pei Qing's army, which was his most deadly place.
"I originally thought that after this year's efforts, we could accumulate enough food, but unexpectedly, a drought came. Although we were able to resist the disaster, the grain production was reduced sharply, resulting in the military food problem becoming our primary problem. Otherwise, how could we be afraid that Yuan Shao would confront us?" Wang Can had just matched successfully. Although he had been committed to improving, his experience and vision were not in place. After hearing the news, he sighed first.
However, Hu Zhao looked calm and composed. Xun You and Zhang Chao were not in a hurry, and smiled calmly.
"Sir Zi Bing, why are you laughing at? Is the problem I am worried about not a problem?" Wang Can asked quickly when he saw Zhang Chao, who had the best relationship with him.
But Zhang Chao laughed and said, "Zhongxuan, I understand your mood, but sometimes I can't think about the problem. If we only think about it, this time, we really can't deal with it, but you don't think about how long can Yuan Shao's policy last? It's true that Ju Shu rescued Yuan Shao and regained favor, but this also deeply offended villains like Guo Tu. At that time, Guo Tu will definitely find a way to slander Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao now believes in Ju Shu, but it doesn't mean he will always believe it. In a short time, he will be reborn again. Besides, Yuan Shao led a heavy army here, which will inevitably lead to empty defense. I believe that after a short time, the Heishan Army and Gongsun Zan will cause trouble from the rear. At that time, Yuan Shao will be unable to take care of the beginning and end and will definitely withdraw his troops. So what we lack is just a matter of time. As long as everyone works together to survive the crisis within a certain period of time, all problems are not a problem."
After Zhang Chao said this, Hu Zhao, Xun You and Pei Qing and others would smile, and even Xu Huang nodded slightly. Wang Can finally realized it suddenly, and then said with admiration: "Mr. Zi Bing, you have a thorough analysis. Can has received the teachings. If there are any problems in the future, I will still ask you more questions."
