Chapter 117 Draining from the bottom of the pot

Yuan Shao had already made up his mind and the army was immediately divided into two parts. Ju Su was responsible for leading the army on the northern front to attack Puban Ferry.

Xu You returned to his tent.

Wang Fen smiled and said, "Why is Ziyuan depressed?"

Xu You smiled, "I'm in a good mood! Wenzu is worried without any effort!"

"Oh? Why did I hear that Yuan Shao has entrusted Ju Shu with important tasks? Isn't Ziyuan unhappy about this?"

Xu You's expression changed and he snorted coldly.

Wang Fen smiled and said, "Ju Su commanded the army on the northern front. Judging from the current situation, if this battle can be won, Ju Su will definitely make a contribution. At that time, will you still have your Xu You standing in front of Yuan Shao?"

Xu You frowned, looked at Wang Fen, and sneered: "You just want to convince me to persuade my lord to withdraw! Do you think I will be fooled?"

Wang Fen smiled, "Ziyuan, isn't this a good thing for you? Regardless of whether Yuan Shao can win this battle, even if he wins, would it be a good thing for Ziyuan? Ju Su sets his head off

, he will definitely be favored by Yuan Shao. At that time, how should you, Xu Ziyuan, be willing to be under Jushu?"

Xu You didn't say anything, and looked frowning and thinking.

Just when Zhang Lang and Yuan Shao were fighting in Tongguan, Cao Cao in the east led the main force to launch a full-scale counterattack against Yuan Shu. Although Cao Cao's army did not have any advantage in its military strength, Yuan Shu's army could not compete with Cao Cao's army at all, and went all the way from Xuzhou to

The south retreated, threw away his armor and suffered heavy losses. Cao's army chased the Huai River in one breath and surrounded Yuan Shu in Shouchun City. The battle was in a stalemate.

Turn your eyes to Jizhou Guest House.

Liu Bei, who had been in Jizhou for a long time, stood under the eaves of the corridor and looked at the cloudy sky. Thinking that he was still fifty years old but still had not achieved his achievements, he couldn't help but sigh.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, wearing casual clothes, rushed behind Liu Bei, clasped their fists together and said, "Brother (lord)!"

Liu Bei turned around and saw the three generals getting up, and couldn't help but be surprised, "What happened?"

Zhang Fei shouted: "Brother, Yuan Shao is not willing to reuse us at all, why should he stay here and be furious with him?"

Guan Yu also said: "The third brother is right. If the eldest brother wants to make achievements and live under someone else's roof, how can he accomplish things? Why not leave here and make plans!"

Zhao Yun showed an expression of approval and looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei glanced at the three generals, "That's what you all think?"

"Of course!" Zhang Fei said.

Liu Bei thought about it and glanced at the three of them, "I'm not sure about it, I actually had this plan!" He frowned, "When he first defected to Yuan Shao, he originally thought that his family's four generations and three ministers must be loyal to the Han Dynasty,

But now it seems that this is not the case! I have already decided to leave this place and borrow troops from Yuan Shao to attack Runan. If I can succeed, I will use this as a basis and make plans again!"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Brother should have been like this long ago!"

At this moment, in Jiangnan, Sun Jian, who already owns the entire Yangzhou and Jiangxia, was preparing to launch an attack on Jingzhou. Warships, food and grass, and soldiers were constantly gathering in Jiangxia. Faced with the severe situation, Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to

As the main general, he dispatched all the troops in Jingzhou to prepare for the battle and sent people to ask Yuan Shao for help.

The eyes turned back.

Zhang Lang led 20,000 thunder cavalry to Wuguan, and attacked Yuan Shao's grain transport team that day and burned hundreds of thousands of grains and grass. Yuan Shao received the news and was furious and immediately sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to fight.

, However, when Yan Liang and Wen Chou's iron cavalry arrived, Zhang Lang had long disappeared!

After that, the game of cat and mouse continued to be staged. The 20,000 thunder cavalry led by Zhang Lang fought and ran away, and there was no direct contact with Yuan Shaojun at all. The 80,000 thunder cavalry led by Yan Liangwen Chou was like a tiger who could not find an opponent, extremely angry

, a waste of effort.

Yuan Shaojun's grain route was unstable, resulting in insufficient supply of grain and grass on the front line, and his morale had a certain impact.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao was uneasy, the food supply was unstable, and his morale was fluctuating. These made him very uneasy, and he couldn't help but plan to withdraw his troops, but he was unwilling to accept it.

A messenger rushed into the tent and presented a letter with both hands, "Report to the lord, Mr. Ju Su has a letter with him."

Yuan Shao, who was hesitating, was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly grabbed the letter, opened it, and looked at it. It turned out that Ju Su had guessed Yuan Shao's hesitation. He said in the letter: Now he has gathered countless food and grass and mobilized a million troops.

If we return without success, we will not only be ridiculed by the people of the world, but also seriously undermine our army's spirit! With the current strength of our army, as long as the lord makes up his mind, he will definitely attack Guanzhong and pacify Lu Bu! What the lord is only a matter of food and supplies for our army

, In fact, the lord doesn’t have to worry at all. Although there is harassement from the enemy, he is unable to cut off the food route. The lord should give the soldiers firm confidence! I hope the lord will make up his mind and not worry about him. This battle will be won! Ju Su paused his head and bowed again.

After reading Ju Shu's letter, Yuan Shao only felt that he was suddenly cheerful.

Xu You walked in at this time. Seeing Yuan Shao's radiant look, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you happy, lord?"

Yuan Shao handed Ju Su's letter to Xu You and said with a smile: "I am worried, but Ju Su's letter has caused all troubles to disappear!"

Xu You read the letter, "Lord! Ju Su is messing with his master!"

Yuan Shao was stunned, "What?"

Xu You said: "No matter what the current food and grass problems and the impact on morale are, even if these problems do not exist, will our army definitely be able to enter Guanzhong?"

Yuan Shao frowned.

"Lord, Lu Bu's army is extremely brave! Even if our army can invade Guanzhong, how many soldiers and how much food will be lost by then?"

Yuan Shao's heart was thrilled.

"Lord, but after we lose countless food, grass, and troops, how can we compete with Cao Cao? What should we do if Cao Cao's army attacks?"

Yuan Shao nodded deeply in agreement.

Xu You was secretly happy and struck the railway while it was hot: "The subordinates thought that the purpose of this battle had been achieved. The lord took back Hangu Pass, and the situation on the west side of Luoyang had improved greatly. Just station heavy troops in Hangu Pass to block Lu Budong.

Ambition to advance! Our army should turn its main energy to the Central Plains, defeat Cao Cao, hold the Central Plains in its palm, and then, we will fight with Lu Bu and capture Guanzhong and Xiliang!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "Ziyuan's theory is higher than Ju Su! Well, just do as you wish and immediately order the army to set up the troops today!" "No." Xu You was quite proud.

Ju Su, Zhang He and others were planning an attack plan. At this moment, Yuan Shao's order came, and they ordered them to stay one step to station in Shouyang Mountain, and the rest of the troops immediately set off.

Ju Su was shocked and punched the desk table, and said angrily: "This must be a bad idea Xu You gave to his lord!" He turned his head and said to Zhang He: "I'm leaving it here for you. Don't withdraw your troops for the time being, I'll go to see your lord." Then he said
