Chapter 285: Divide troops out of Xu Shu to conspire
Chapter 285: Divide the troops and send Xu Shu to plot
In Jinyang, after Xu Shu's death, Liu Zhang held a reception banquet for him. People who knew Xu Shu back then were gathered together. After they had had enough wine and food, Liu Zhang brought everyone into the meeting hall. Although there were talented people coming
I am happy to invest, but the current situation is not optimistic!
The tea cup is full of clouds, and the outside of the tea cup is filled with the aroma of fruit. Unfortunately, everyone in the conference hall is holding fragrant tea and tasting the fruity flavor, but their faces are serious and their brows are tangled, as if they are not tasting delicious fragrant tea, but bitter medicine.
Seguo. Seeing everyone's frowns, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Since there is no way to deal with Zhang Baiqi, let's wait for news about Yuan Jian! As for..."
"See my lord..." A clerk walked into the meeting hall and presented an official document: "There is an urgent document in Chang'an!"
"It couldn't be that something happened to Zhicai!" Liu Zhang felt worried in his heart. He was deeply afraid that Zhicai would pass away without waiting for Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo. He quickly grabbed the document and read it carefully. After reading it, Liu Zhang felt
He breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the fourth lady meeting Zhang Baiqi, he suddenly became furious.
"Does Liao Yuanjian want to die?" Liu Zhang angrily threw the document in his hand to the ground and said, "Who gave him the courage to instigate the fourth lady to see Zhang Baiqi?"
Seeing Liu Zhang's rage, everyone in the hall was silent. Xu Shu was new here and didn't have much fear of Liu Zhang. He picked up the documents on the ground, read them over and said: "Brother, Liao Hua did not incite the fourth lady to see Zhang Baiqi.
Instead, he encouraged Zhang Baiqi to see the fourth lady!"
Seeing Xu Shu speak, Liu Zhang suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned and asked, "What's the difference?"
"Of course it's different!" Xu Shu said with a smile: "Brother didn't understand that it was Zhang Baiqi who went to Chang'an in person to pay homage to the Fourth Madam as your uncle-in-law!"
"What?" Liu Zhang took the document again and read it carefully. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "This Baiqi is so brave. Isn't he afraid that there will be no return? No, Zhang Baiqi's surrender was considered
Good thing, but now I can't accept his surrender! That idiot Liao Hua has done everything!"
"My lord, since this is news from Chang'an, please take a closer look to see if there is anything else!" Jia Xu knew Liu Zhang's character, and he would get easily excited whenever his relatives were involved. However, Jia Xu would not show off his appearance.
Direct admonishment will only make secret suggestions.
"Uh..." When Liu Zhang heard this, he quickly calmed down and read the document carefully from beginning to end. After reading it, he said with great joy: "Thanks to Zhicai. If not, damn Liao Hua would have ruined my big event! Everyone,
Now that Zhang Baiqi has surrendered to our army, we can deal with Yuan Shao with peace of mind!"
Jia Xu smiled and asked: "May I ask my lord, how does Zhicai arrange Zhang Baiqi?"
"Order him to be stationed in Luoyang!" Liu Zhang handed the document in his hand to Jia Xu. Jia Xu read it and passed it on one after another.
"Wonderful!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Xi is worthy of being my elder brother's trusted adviser. This is a wonderful strategy!"
"That's natural! It's just Liao Hua who deserves to be punished!" Liu Zhang said with a smile on his face: "Now Cao Cao is about to fall into the Jingzhou Rebellion. Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce are unable to hunt north, and we are left to compete with Yuan Shao. Everyone, are you
Don’t you have the confidence to compete with Yuan Shaoyi?”
"Beat him like a bastard!" Zhang Fei jumped up from his chair and said, "I've had enough of being cowardly in Jinyang every day. Brother, tell me what to do!"
Liu Zhang glanced at everyone and suddenly gave an order: "Zhou Yu, Xu Shu, please listen: I order you two to be in charge of the war in Jinyang, and there is no need to report anything that happens!"
"Follow the order!" Like a conditioned reflex, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu jumped up, but after hearing the order, they looked hesitant again.
"What? No confidence?" Seeing the two of them hesitate to speak, Liu Zhang frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied.
"Yes!" Zhou Yu and Xu Shu looked at each other, and they didn't know that Liu Zhang wanted them to be close. As the saying goes: the four irons in life are those who have been together in the same window, those who have carried guns, those who have been dirty, and those who have been in prostitution. Now
Didn't Liu Zhang just want the two of them to carry the gun together?
Seeing that the two men understood what he was thinking, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Generals, listen to the order: From today on, you all will return to Xu Shu and be dispatched by Zhou Yu. The orders they give you are my orders!"
"We will obey your lord's order!" All the generals in the hall bowed and saluted.
"Okay!" Liu Zhang smiled and said, "I am here in Jinyang City, waiting for your good news. Gong Jin, Yuan Zhi, don't let me down!"
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he left the meeting hall, and Jia Xu also left. The generals immediately turned their attention to Zhou Yu and Xu Shu. Zhou Yu was anxious and wisely said: "Generals, my lord has given an order at the last moment. We have not made proper preparations yet, so why don't we go first?"
How about we take a night’s rest and discuss it tomorrow?”
"No problem!" Zhang Fei said very generously: "As long as you let me, Lao Zhang, be the pioneer, even if you take ten days off, it's no problem!"
"Thank you, General Zhang, for your generosity!" Xu Shu smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will be the pioneer!"
All the generals left, and only Zhou Yu and Xu Shu were left in the meeting hall. Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Yuanzhi, the eldest brother really gave us face, we must not lose his face."
"That's natural!" Xu Shu also had a wry smile on his face. He thought for a while and said: "Since the elder brother asked us to deal with Yuan Shao, he naturally wants us to establish our prestige. How about each of us take one of them to fight against Yuan Shao?"
"Take one of each?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Who are you planning to attack?"
"Zhang Yan must not be beaten! I heard that he is not clear with Zhang Baiqi. He must be a member of our army in the future. There is no need to weaken his own power. Then there are only Quyang and Yangyi!" Xu Shu stroked his chin with his hand.
, thought about it carefully and said: "I heard that Gao Lan is a rare general under Yuan Shao, but Quyang has Xiongnu and Wuwan reinforcements, so it's hard to choose!"
"Then don't choose, just draw lots!" Zhou Yu said with a smile, "It just depends on luck!"
Xu Shu asked: "What about the generals accompanying the army?"
"How about drawing lots too?" Zhou Yu smiled with a smile on his face, and Xu Shu also smiled and nodded.
The two military advisers started to draw lots as if they were joking. Zhou Yu was lucky and captured Yangyi, and took Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and Gan Ning to deal with Gao Lan. However, Xu Shu was not so lucky and captured Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.
Quyang took care of Jiang Yiqu, Wu Wan, and the Xiongnu. Of course, the more dangerous the place, the greater the credit. As for Zhao Yun, he stayed in Jinyang to guard it. Otherwise, who would dare to let Liu Zhang stay in Jinyang?
The next day, Xu Shu and Zhou Yu led their troops to leave the city. Although Yuan Shao was powerful and it would be disadvantageous to divide his troops, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu were both wise and resourceful people. Since they dared to divide their troops, they were naturally confident!
Quyang was relatively close. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were cavalry. Xu Shu's marching speed was naturally faster and he arrived on the same day. The guards at Quyang were none other than Zhang He and Zhang Liao. When they heard that the reinforcements had arrived, they were overjoyed. These few
Yue, they were badly repaired!
In the city guard house, Xu Shu sat high and listened to Zhang He and Zhang Liao's military report. Since the confrontation between the two armies, it was Yuan Shao's army who attacked the city. Whenever Zhang Liao and Zhang He tried to counterattack, Karasuma and the Xiongnu cavalry would attack them.
, so the two of them could only hide in the city like cowardly turtles, desperately resisting Yuan Shaojun's attack.
"It seems that we have to find a way to kill the Xiongnu and Karasuma's cavalry!" Xu Shu pinched his chin and lowered his head in thought. Zhang Fei and the other four generals looked at each other, and the hall was silent for a moment.
"Commander Xu, please speak up!" Zhang Fei was impatient. After waiting for a long time, he finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Bring me the map!" Xu Shu ordered, then smiled at Zhang Fei and said: "General Zhang, don't be anxious, march and fight with caution, otherwise you will ruin your lord's affairs, and you and I will die forever!"
"Yes..." If Xu Shu said something great, Zhang Fei would certainly not listen, but Xu Shu moved out Liu Zhang and vaguely warned Zhang Fei to obey orders, so Zhang Fei did not dare to say any more.
After staring at the map for a long time, Xu Shu suddenly pointed to Beishui River and said with a smile: "This place is really a God-given place to defeat the enemy. General Zhang Fei, aren't you going to be a vanguard? I will use you as a vanguard and go there tomorrow.
Karasuma, the Xiongnu Dazhai challenges!"
"Okay!" Zhang Fei's face was filled with excitement. Just as Ma Chao was about to object, Xu Shu's next words dispelled Zhang Fei's enthusiasm and Ma Chao's impulsiveness.
"Only defeat is allowed, no victory is allowed..." Xu Shu said.
"Commander Xu, I, Lao Zhang, have not offended you, have I!" Zhang Fei's face was filled with anger. How can he not win a battle? Of course, in the past, Liu Zhang almost always fought head-on, but who is Xu Shu? How could he use the same tactics as Liu Zhang?
"Don't be upset, General Zhang. This is a trick to lure the enemy!" Xu Shu said with a smile: "Look at this place, it is the intersection of the two rivers. The mound next to it can ambush thousands of people. General Zhang only needs to lure the enemy here.
, and then General Ma blocks the mouth of the river, and General Zhang He's Euphorbias rush in. How can the chasing foreign cavalry survive? If you are worried about excessive casualties, you can also set up traps on the tidal flats, tripping horse ropes and the like!
"
"This..." Zhang Fei was also familiar with the art of war. After listening carefully to Xu Shu's opinions, his eyes shone brightly, and the look he looked at Xu Shu became fiery, even though he was a little dissatisfied before.
"Where are the generals?" After convincing Zhang Fei, Xu Shu looked at Ma Chao and the others.
Zhang Liao asked: "Military advisor, you won't let me defend the city!"
"Wen Yuan is calm and composed, so he is the best choice to defend the city! Only if you defend the city can I rest assured!" Seeing Xu Shu flattering him, Zhang Liao knew that he would not be able to escape the task of defending the city. Seeing Zhang Liao's expression drop, Xu Shu couldn't help but
He smiled and said: "Wenyuan, Yuan Shao has an army of millions, are you afraid that you won't get any credit? After this battle, I will let you fight next time when we attack Jiang Yiqu!"
"Thank you, Commander Xu!" Zhang Liao wanted Xu Shu's promise, otherwise he would really worry about being a guard general. You know, among the four generals in Quyang, only he and Zhang He are suitable to be guard generals.
Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Xu Shu stood up and said: "Generals, listen to the order: Zhang He, I order you to lead the Euphorbia soldiers to ambush Beishui River and set up more traps. Ma Chao, I order you to ambush in Xiaomu Township and wait for Karasuma."
, when the Huns cavalry passes by, you will follow them. Zhang Fei, I order you to lead your troops to attack Jiang Yiqu's stronghold. You must be defeated but not victorious!"
"The last general obeys the order..." The four generals clasped their fists and came out, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty light!
