No one in Yuan Jun liked Guo Tu, who liked to make trouble. However, Yuan Shao was very convinced of him and believed in his words. The reason was that the photos of Guo Tu's horses made Yuan Shao very happy.
So when Yuan Shao heard what Guo Tu said, he was naturally unhappy. After all, Jushou had been to Xuchang City for a long time, but there was no progress, and today he was helping Cao Jun speak, which would be more or less suspicious.
Although Zhao Fei disliked Guo Tu very much, he knew that he should be careful what he said at this time. After all, Yuan Shao had already had doubts in his heart. If he went to help Ju Shou and said anything, Yuan Shao would definitely become more suspicious.
Although Yuan Shao is the enemy of Cao Jun, and Jushu is also an important counselor under Yuan Shao, Zhao Fei cannot bear to have Jushu implicated because of a villain. After all, Jushou is a good elder, and being implicated because of a villain is not
What Zhao Fei hopes to see.
If Zhao Fei doesn't fight against Jushu, naturally there will be people who fight for Jushu. There are people who are dissatisfied with Guo Tu, and there are many people who will refute what he did. Just like now, Tian Feng stepped forward and said: "Gongze's words
I don’t agree.”
"We all know what Gongyu is like, and I don't believe that Gongyu would betray the lord." Tian Feng said in a deep voice, and his statement was supported by Feng Ji and others. Everyone has known Jushou for a long time, so naturally they all know what Jushou is like.
.
It is absolutely possible that there will be traitors under Yuan Shao's command, but there will definitely not be Jushu among them. After all, everyone knows Jushu's character, so they will never believe that Jushu will betray Yuan Shao.
Moreover, Ju Shou was highly regarded by Yuan Shao, but if he left Cao Jun, would he be so highly valued by Cao Cao?
There are many capable ministers and righteous men in Cao's army. Not to mention Zhao Fei, Xun Yu and Xun You alone have earth-shattering talents. Under the aura of so many people, Ju Shou's status may not be as high as that of Yuan Jun.
Moreover, at this time, Yuan's army was in full swing and had captured Youzhou. Yuan Shao would then be the most powerful prince in the world. When the time came to send his army south, Yuan Shao would have another chance to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan. And Jushou was an old minister beside Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Shao can be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Ju Shou will definitely be the hero who has achieved success.
Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's first opponent when he went south was Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was indeed powerful, in terms of overall strength, Yuan Jun still surpassed Cao Jun. Although Cao Jun's combat effectiveness was strong, Yuan Jun's victory was due to its huge force.
By capturing Youzhou, Yuan Shao alone had the land of four states. The territory under his command was definitely twice that of Cao Cao. When the time comes to recruit soldiers, it would be difficult for Cao's army to withstand Yuan's army, so Cao's army would never be a match for Yuan's army.
Under such a general premise, Feng Ji and others could not imagine that Ju Shou had any reason to betray Yuan Shao.
However, Tian Feng's words aroused Guo Tu's sneer. He looked at Tian Feng coldly, and then said: "I think my lord has taken control of Jizhou. Jushou betrayed Han Fu and defected to my lord. Why today?"
Then he cannot defect to Cao Cao and betray my lord."
Hearing Guo Tu's words, Ju Shou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and Ri Jifa also looked unkind. These are other people's scars, and Guo Tu actually exposed others' scars so viciously. This is definitely a very vicious behavior.
Everyone is not ashamed of it.
"Gongze also said that after my lord captured Jizhou, he and I defected to my lord. Now my lord has defeated Gongsun Zan and is in the spotlight. Are you cursing that my lord's territory will be captured by Cao's army sooner or later?" Tian Fengleng
Said coldly.
Tian Feng's words were very fatal. After listening to Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's eyes became much brighter. It was obvious that he cared about Tian Feng's words. Everything else was fine, but if he cursed that he could not defeat Cao Jun and the territory was still there,
You can imagine how Yuan Shao would feel if he was captured by Cao's army.
"Humph, you are just taking a quote out of context and making random guesses." Seeing Yuan Shao's sharp eyes, Guo Tu hurriedly explained. It was obvious that Yuan Shao's performance had frightened Guo Tu.
"If that's the case, then when you said that the father-in-law betrayed the lord, weren't you just speculating and taking things out of context? Since you said that the father-in-law betrayed the lord, then provide evidence to prove it." Tian Feng found a sense at this time, his tone
Getting tougher.
But this time Guo Tu didn't know how to answer. After all, what Tian Feng said was right, he was just taking advantage of the opportunity. He had no evidence of Jushou's betrayal, so after hearing what Tian Feng said, Guo Tu's momentum finally weakened.
a bit.
"But he did help Cao Jun and seek benefits for Cao Jun." Guo Tu said coldly. Guo Tu was very angry at Tian Feng's rebuttal.
After hearing Guo Tu's words, Zhao Fei knew that he could finally speak. It was an internal matter within Yuan Jun, so Zhao Fei couldn't easily interrupt, but at this moment, Zhao Fei could speak.
"In this case, I would like to ask you, Gongze, are we, the officers and soldiers of Cao Army, allowed to be driven by you, Yuan Jun? I, the officers and soldiers of Cao Army, are helping you, Yuan Jun, fight, but you, Yuan Jun, don't want to express anything?" Zhao Fei looked coldly at Guo Tuwen.
road.
Now Cao Jun was a guest, and Zhao Fei was a person who could not be offended, so Guo Tu naturally did not dare to say anything. He could only follow Zhao Fei's wishes and said: "What did Mr. Taiwei say? Cao Jun did it for Yuan Jun."
When we go on an expedition, we will naturally not treat your army badly."
Zhao Fei smiled coldly, and then asked: "If that's the case, then Gongze is also speaking for Cao Jun, isn't he?"
Guo Tu was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. However, Guo Tu still tolerated it. He laughed and said nothing more. Although he was angry in his heart, he did not dare to lose his temper with Zhao Fei. After all, Zhao Fei
Not Yuan Jun, he has no right to dictate to him.
"Okay!" After a long silence, Yuan Shao finally spoke. At this time, he had to speak, because the current situation could not tolerate him not speaking.
Zhao Fei had just suppressed many of his counselors, and now his counselors were involved in another civil strife, which made Yuan Shao lose his face somewhat. He had to step in to stop this situation.
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, everyone returned to their seats one after another. After there was no one below, Yuan Shao finally said: "What Peng Ju said is true. Cao's army is not my Yuan army, and he cannot be sent by us."
"But Pengju has already asked for 5,000 war horses from our army. If Pengju makes such a request again, it will be difficult for our army to pay. After all, war horses are precious resources. Our army only has more than 10,000 war horses. If all of them are given to Pengju,
, This is obviously unrealistic." Yuan Shao's words were sincere, and Zhao Fei did not refute.
He already knew that his request would not be approved by everyone in Yuan Jun. The reason why he said this was just to increase his status. He looked at Yuan Shao, and then said in a deep voice: "Benchu is also seeking truth from facts, and my words are also true."
It’s really a bit abrupt.”
"Since it is difficult to pay for war horses, we can also pay for food and other things that we can afford. After all, Cao's soldiers died, and we need pensions." Zhao Fei said quietly.
In fact, this was Zhao Fei's ultimate goal. He had long known that Yuan Jun could no longer provide military horses to Cao Jun, so he could only ask for it. However, food and grass were also scarce for Cao Jun, so for food and grass, Zhao Fei
Also attaches great importance to it.
After hearing Zhao Fei's words, Yuan Shao's expression finally changed. Food and grass were not a scarce commodity for Yuan Jun. On the contrary, Yuan Jun's food and grass reserves were very sufficient.
However, although Yuan Jun has sufficient reserves of food and grass, food and grass are combat resources, and food and grass are absolutely indispensable resources. Therefore, Yuan Shao did not dare to agree to Zhao Fei easily.
Let’s talk about money. This thing is even scarcer than horses. The battle is about money, and Cao Jun will become his enemy sooner or later. Isn’t giving money to Cao Jun a redirect to help Cao Jun improve his strength to deal with himself? Such stupidity
Yuan Shao will never do it.
But apart from these things, Yuan Shao really couldn't think of anything else to give to Cao Jun, so Yuan Shao fell into deep thought at this time.
Yuan Shao didn't speak, and Zhao Fei couldn't say anything. He couldn't disturb Yuan Shao at this time. After all, Yuan Shao was the one doing the talking. As long as he nodded and agreed, others couldn't say anything more. Now he needed to give Yuan Shao time to think, after all, this was not the case.
Something that can be decided easily.
Yuan Shao was silent. It was natural for the counselors under Yuan Jun to disturb Yuan Shao at this time. However, it can be seen from the expressions of Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others that they were very opposed to Zhao Fei's idea in their hearts. They did not want Yuan Shao in their hearts.
Agree to Zhao Fei's request.
"Our army has enough food and grass to last a few years for a large army, so there is no big problem in giving some to Cao Jun." In the silence, a native voice sounded.
Although the owner of the voice made Zhao Fei feel unhappy, what this person said made Zhao Fei feel unusually happy. Cao Jun was short of food and grass. If he could get a lot of food and grass from Yuan Jun, it would be enough to pay for the decisive battle with Yuan Jun in the future.
.
Food and grass has always been a shortcoming of Cao's army, because Yanzhou and Yuzhou are not the origin of food and grass, and Cao's army often fights, so the scarcity of food and grass is a normal phenomenon.
You must know that Cao Jun was short of food and grass in the Battle of Guandu. If Xu You hadn't rebelled and defected to Cao Jun, then Cao Jun would have failed. Because when Xu You defected to Cao Jun, Cao Jun had already run out of ammunition and food. If Xu You had not rebelled and defected to Cao Jun, Cao Jun would have lost.
If they arrive a few days later, Cao's army will truly be out of food.
The result of the lack of food was that Cao's army was defeated and unable to recover. Even if Cao Cao was proficient in literary and military strategies, and even if Guo Jiaxunyu was resourceful, it would be difficult for Cao's army to withstand Yuan's army. After all, Yuan's army was twice as large as Cao's.
, and Cao Cao had assembled his own elite troops in the Battle of Guandu. If Cao Cao's army failed at that time, it would be difficult to resist Yuan's army in the future.
Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Zhao Fei's request. Obviously, the allure of Youzhou was much greater than the so-called food and grass, so in the end Yuan Shao chose food and grass.
