Chapter 573 Yuan Shao's Loss
In the second year of Zhangwu, it was late July.
Hanoi County was attacked by Yuan Shao's army.
But fortunately, since Lin Chen expected this early and made arrangements in advance, Yuan Shao's sneak attack naturally failed.
Yuan Shao’s military camp.
After learning the news, Yuan Shao overturned the table in front of him and said with disbelief: "How is that possible?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"How did he know? Can anyone tell me?!"
As he spoke, Yuan Shao couldn't help but pick up the sword and swept over everyone present with a drowning look.
"Didn't you all say that this matter is absolutely secret and cannot be discovered?"
"What's going on now?"
"Can anyone tell me how Lin Ziyuan learned the news?"
It’s not his fault that he can’t control his emotions. It’s really a failure this time that has hit him too hard.
Because just before, the strategists in the military camp were still confidently talking about the scene after Hanoi was occupied.
It was as if Hanoi had been taken down.
This is like Yuan Shao sent troops to the ferry and the white horse in history.
At that time, Yuan Shao was extremely confident and seemed to be able to destroy Cao Cao easily.
However, in history, he was directly defeated by Cao Cao with the weak defeat of the strong.
But in today's history, he still failed.
Of course, Yuan Shao naturally didn't know about this, but what he couldn't understand was why there were so many defenders in Hanoi.
It was as if Lin Chen had already known that he would go.
Yuan Shao didn't think this was what Lin Chen guessed. He felt that there must be an insider in his command.
"Master..."
When Yuan Shao swept over everyone, Xu You stood up helplessly and said, "It is indeed a surprise that such a thing happened, but we are facing Lin Chen after all!"
"Some surprises are understandable."
He doesn't want to stand up.
I don't want to help others.
But at such a critical moment, if Xu You didn't stand up, his position would never be able to be maintained.
This was obviously unbearable for him.
Because if he has no status, even if he wants to sell himself, he may not be able to sell at any high price.
Even if he doesn't sell it, it will be difficult for him to continue his wealth behind him.
But speaking is different.
Others will stand on his side at that time, and their strength will become stronger, and their wealth will be greater in the rear.
The most important thing is.
Before the war began, he was one of the people who felt that there was something wrong with the division of troops.
Then, they were divided outside, and they did not discuss the key discussions about the battle.
This existence is enough to make Yuan Shao turn his doubts away from him.
In other words, even if he said it wrong, Yuan Shao would not have cut him directly with a sword.
This is obviously a huge profit, and Xu You has no reason not to stand up.
"Lin Ziyuan is really trying to win everything?"
Yuan Shao wanted to sacrifice the flag to the person who spoke, but after seeing it as Xu You, he could only suppress his anger: "There are very few people who know about this matter, why is it exposed?"
As soon as he said this, the hidden meaning was completely exposed.
Could it be that this incident failed because of the existence of a traitor?
Lin Chen really won everything? Isn't it possible?
Of course, Yuan Shao couldn't say these words anyway.
"Lord, this forest originated from a plan that was not a perfect match. Otherwise, he would not have guessed that we would have sent troops."
After thinking about it, Xu You continued, "But this division of troops may not be a good thing."
"Because for Liu Bei, Luoyang and the counties around Luoyang are necessary precautions."
"So, although we use sneak attack method, we may not be able to succeed unless we do not use the strategy of dividing troops..."
Next, he clearly put Liu Bei's strength in front of Yuan Shao, and finally bowed: "The reason is probably that."
Simply put, Liu Bei was not Cao Cao in history.
Yuan Shao's strategy of dividing his troops was to sneak attack Boss Cao in history, but he might not be able to sneak attack Liu Bei.
Because the strength between the two is not at the same level at all.
Of course, everyone on Yuan Shao’s side naturally didn’t know about these things, but they all knew about them...
The strategy of division of troops is fine for some weak princes, but it is obviously not possible to face someone who is strong like Liu Bei.
As long as the opponent has the idea of defending, it is unlikely that the division of troops will succeed.
For Liu Bei, he finally developed the livelihood of Luoyang and the surrounding counties, so how could he not manage it carefully?
Although Xu You was not so clear about this, Yuan Shao still understood it.
"I regret not listening to Ziyuan's words!"
He sighed deeply, bowed to Xu You with emotion, and then lowered his head dejectedly.
Perhaps it was because history has changed.
Historically, Xu You, who did not participate in the division of troops and did not get the opportunity to speak in the end, got the opportunity this time.
Therefore, he also did a completely different behavior from history.
Historically, he basically stopped talking after that.
But now, he has the charm of a first-rate counselor and naturally wants to make some suggestions.
Even if it's just some words of encouragement.
"Lord, this is just a small setback. You thought that the lord only needs to find a way to win one game next, and naturally he will be able to boost morale."
"I know too, but Lin Chen is really treacherous, what can I do if I do?"
Yuan Shao sighed deeply, then looked at him with a burning look: "Can Ziyuan already have any good suggestions?"
Withdraw the army and come back for two years of cultivation.
During this period, Bingzhou will be eaten up little by little...
This strategy suddenly appeared in Xu You's mind, but facing Yuan Shao's bright gaze, he knew that he could not say that.
Once he spoke like this, it means he was standing opposite Yuan Shao.
Judging from Yuan Shao's current behavior pattern, as long as he loses next, he will inevitably kill him.
Then, it's not a good thing.
Xu You, who understands this, can only think of a good way to settle for the second best according to the current situation.
But this method is obviously not so easy to think about.
He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to do all this perfectly.
Lin Ziyuan, Lin Ziyuan, are you really so invincible?
In just a few years, the entire Jingji area has become an iron barrel?
Xu You, who was gradually desperate in his heart, couldn't help but feel frustrated in his heart.
He really didn't want to believe that after just over a year, the Gyeonggi area became so difficult to chew.
This is still the case where they have a strategic advantage.
You know, they have already won Zhang Yang.
But even so, when they faced the Gyeonggi area, they still had no good solutions.
In the Gyeonggi area, it seems like it has become a hedgehog, and you can't just mouth it casually.
Otherwise, it will definitely hurt people to death.
"Um?"
