Chapter 335 Is Guandu about to fall to Yuan's army? Guo Tu: Heed my command!
The two captains who fought desperately at the gate of Wuchao sent out several scouts who rushed towards Yuan's army camp.
Near Yuan Jun's camp
"Report!"
"Tens of thousands of Cao Cao's cavalry are advancing towards Wuchao. Wuchao's defenses are inadequate; we request reinforcements!"
The commotion caused by a few scouts instantly alerted the entire camp.
Logically, the report should first be submitted separately to Yuan Shao or Ju Shou, and then the two of them should make a decision.
However, due to the urgency of the military situation, the scouts didn't think much for a moment and shouted the message out at the camp gate in their haste.
Yuan Shao walked out with a smile on his face.
On the other side, Ju Shou's face was clouded with gloom as he glared fiercely at Yuan Shao.
Now that things have come to this, with Ju Shou's wisdom, how could he not understand what has happened?
Regardless of whether Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were colluding.
Chunyu Qiong's sudden "injury" and relinquishment of his position as the garrison commander of Wuchao is definitely suspicious!
If Ju Shou's guess is correct.
Jiang Qi is probably in dire straits right now.
Honestly, Ju Shou didn't really care whether Jiang Qi lived or died; they were just pawns anyway.
However, most of the grain transported from Ye City was placed in Wuchao!
If these provisions are lost, Ju Shou won't be heartbroken, but the powerful families of Ji Province behind him will definitely hold a grudge against him.
Everyone knows that the Ju family is rich and powerful.
But you can't treat the food that everyone worked so hard to get as a joke, can you?
Ju Shou took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
At that moment, he was very annoyed and irritable.
Whether or not to save Wuchao is a question worth considering.
Rescue? Who should be sent to rescue them?
Are we going to transfer Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, and others from the front lines to rescue them?
What if Cao Cao's army inside Guandu City takes the opportunity to pursue and kill them?
If we don't send reinforcements, we'll run out of supplies, and defeat will be a minor matter.
Whether his troops can safely retreat back to Ji Province is of paramount importance!
Ju Shou never wanted to win the Battle of Guandu, but that didn't mean he could just stand by and watch his followers be wiped out.
No matter how powerful a Celestial Dragon is, if no one supports him, he's just an empty shell.
Just when Ju Shou was unable to make up his mind.
Yuan Shao took the initiative and summoned all the high-ranking civil and military officials of Yuan's camp who were still in the main camp to hold a meeting.
This time, the number of people in the meeting has decreased from eight to seven.
The missing person is none other than the main protagonist of this discussion: Jiang Qi.
Guo Tu preemptively struck, pulling at his sleeve and saying:
"My lord! This is a golden opportunity!"
"Cao Cao has always liked to do things himself."
"The 10,000 cavalrymen of Cao Cao's army who attacked Wuchao this time were undoubtedly the elite of the elite."
"Such an army can only be commanded by Cao Cao himself."
"In this way, the front line at Guandu will inevitably be vulnerable."
"Seizing this opportunity, our army should increase its forces and launch a full-scale attack on Guandu!"
Yuan Shao nodded in agreement.
His tacit understanding with Cao Cao was to abandon Wuchao!
Anyway, Chunyu Qiong had already returned to the main camp, and before leaving, he took with him some of the grain that originally belonged to Yuan Shao.
Although most of the provisions remained in Wuchao.
With this amount of grain, returning to Jizhou was no longer a problem.
More importantly, Jiang Qi, the current garrison commander of Wuchao, is Ju Shou's man!
There was no reason for Yuan Shao to save this fellow.
Therefore, Guo Tu's suggestion to launch a fierce attack on Guandu was exactly what Yuan Shao wanted.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to make a decision, Feng Ji hurriedly jumped up, clapping his hands and cursing angrily:
"Bold Guo Tu, spreading heresies and misleading the public!"
"Your opinion is like that of the former Zhao Guo Kai!"
"Wuchao is a vital supply depot; how can we abandon it and leave it unattended?"
"Without supplies, even returning to Jizhou will be a problem for our army, let alone capturing Guandu."
Feng Ji even used the descriptive term "Guo Kai" to curse, which shows how angry he was at that moment.
Guo Tu disdainfully raised his middle finger at Feng Ji.
This gesture was taught to him by Guo Jia.
It is said that using this gesture during an argument can instantly break the other person's defenses, making them angrier and angrier, and the angrier they are, the more they want to argue!
as predicted.
Feng Ji didn't understand what it meant to raise the middle finger.
But judging from Guo Tu's arrogant demeanor, it's clear that giving the middle finger is definitely not a good metaphor.
Enraged, he scratched his head and jumped up to beat Guo Tu.
But that's it.
A pair of strong, powerful hands appeared from behind Feng Ji and firmly bound him.
Feng Ji turned around in a panic and saw that Chunyu Qiong, who should have been resting in bed, had walked in at some point.
In fact, Chunyu Qiong even dressed neatly, showing no signs of serious injury.
"Chun...Chunyu Qiong, what are you doing here?"
"Aren't you injured?"
Feng Ji exclaimed in surprise.
Chunyu Qiong completely ignored him and volunteered to Yuan Shao:
"My lord, how about allowing me to lead troops to rescue Wuchao?"
Ju Shou's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
What the hell!
Yuan Shao!
Chunyu Qiong!
You two sluts, you're deliberately messing with me, aren't you?
Yuan Shao waved his hand dismissively:
“Zhong Jian is loyal and brave, and even when he was wounded, he did not forget his original intention.”
"It is a blessing for our army that you went to rescue Wuchao."
"Gongyu, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
You're kidding me!
Ju Shou wanted to lash out and slap Yuan Shao.
The appearance of Chunyu Qiong proves that Yuan Shao also played a part in the fire at Wuchao.
So, how could Ju Shou trust Chunyu Qiong to go and rescue Wuchao?
What if they run away?
at this time.
Wang Ling, who had remained silent and had a low profile, volunteered:
"I hope to travel to Wuchao with General Chunyu."
"Although I am of little strength, I still hope to be of help to General Chunyu."
Ju Shou glanced at Wang Ling in surprise, then a surge of joy welled up within him.
Wang Ling was not from a prominent family in Ji Province, but rather from a prominent family in Bing Province.
But Wang Ling had already submitted to Ju Shou.
Wang Ling's courage to rescue Wuchao is a great help to Ju Shou.
after all.
Wang Ling is much more reliable than Chunyu Qiong.
Ju Shou believed that Wang Ling was not a fool.
If you're not a fool, then you wouldn't dare betray him!
Otherwise, the retaliation could be severe!
The two hurriedly led their troops toward "Wuchao".
half an hour later
Another messenger rushed back to Yuan's army camp from the front line of Guandu, saying that Yuan's generals had gained the upper hand at the front line of Guandu and were about to capture Guandu!
Upon hearing this, Ju Shou's heart sank.
Are Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Han Meng all fucking idiots?
It's just for show, why would they really go all out to attack Guandu?
Don't you know that I, Ju Shou, do not need the victory of the Battle of Guandu?
Enraged, Ju Shou wanted to slap each of them hard across the face and knock them all unconscious!
Cui Yan then volunteered to him at the opportune moment:
“Mr. Ju, the front line at Guandu is full of military men; they may not know your true meaning.”
"Let Cui go to the front line at Guandu to supervise the battle and prevent these soldiers from causing trouble."
Ju Shou nodded and agreed to Cui Yan's request.
There was no other way; Yuan Shao was stationed at his main camp, and Ju Shou couldn't leave.
The two tormented and suffered for each other.
When it comes to handling matters, you can only delegate them to your subordinates.
Cui Yan led a portion of his troops away from the camp.
Watching Cui Yan's departing figure, Yuan Shao suddenly smiled.
It's time to put an end to this struggle!
