Poyang, named after Poyang Lake, is known as the land of plenty. Liu Yao did not want to give up this prosperous land, but his troops were limited. In order to fight against Yuan Shu, he had no choice but to cut his flesh. The army marched for several days and finally arrived at Poyang. At the moment, Yuan Shu first summoned Wei Yan to come to see him and inquire about the current situation. "Don't worry, my lord! Liu Yao was so frightened that he hid in the city and didn't dare to come out." Wei Yan's tone was full of disdain, and he was obviously very disdainful of Liu Yao. Yuan Shu was speechless and thought to himself: "I'm not afraid that he will leave the city, but I'm afraid that he won't leave the city." Glancing at Wei Yan who had a look of disdain on his face, Yuan Shu secretly sighed: "It seems that he still lacks experience!" "You and Xu Chu have settled well. Army, I want to test Liu Yao's strength before marching." Yuan Shu thought for a moment and ordered Wei Yan. Wei Yan was a little puzzled by Yuan Shu's caution, and said proudly: "Liu Yao is a mediocre person, why should my lord be so serious? The general only needs ten thousand troops to break Yuzhang City." Yuan Shu frowned and looked at Wei Yan, thinking that he should suppress it. It's better to stop him for a moment, lest he become arrogant. "If you lose 10,000 troops and attack Yuzhang City, I will definitely behead you in public display!" Yuan Shu said grimly. Wei Yan shuddered and said hurriedly: "The general will not dare!" "Don't forget what I told you before. If you want to become a general, the first thing is to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Otherwise, you will only be a fierce general at best." It sounds like a reckless man, you know?" Yuan Shu said calmly. Wei Yan respectfully said: "I will remember my lord's teachings." "Go!" Yuan Shu was too lazy to pay attention to these things. He had said everything he needed to say and done everything he needed to do. The rest was up to Wei Yan's own self-discipline. "General, I'll retire!" Wei Yan bowed and slowly retreated. The next day, Yuan Shu and a group of counselors dressed up in disguise and went outside Yuzhang City to inspect the enemy's situation. "The walls of Yuzhang City are high and thick, so it's not suitable to go down there!" After looking at it for a while, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown. ??Unexpectedly, Liu Yao was defeated once, and he seemed to have enlightened himself. The defense of Yuzhang City appeared to be in order, without any chaos. Soldiers on the city were constantly coming and going, and they inspected all important places without missing anything. After thinking about it, Yuan Shu asked Jia Xu: "The Yuzhang in front of me is like an iron wall. With Liu Yao's talent, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this. Does Wen He know the reason?" Jia Xu thought about it and said: "Last year. Liu Biao failed to capture Xiangyang and had close contact with Liu Yao after he retreated. If his subordinates expected it to be true, it must have been Liu Biao's fault, or his subordinates didn't know about it. " "Liu Biao? It¡¯s what people do.¡± Yuan Shu asserted. "There are capable people under Liu Biao's command!" Feng Ji sighed. Xun You nodded in agreement and agreed: "That's right! There are many talents in Jingzhou, and there are naturally many wise men. Liu Biao is not very capable, but he also has merits, and not everyone may agree with him." Feng Ji smiled bitterly and said: "I would rather Liu Biao was incompetent. , so it will be easier for our army to capture Jingzhou." Yuan Shu waved his hand to interrupt the two men's conversation, and said seriously: "I don't care about Jingzhou for now, I am worried that Liu Biao will come up with a plan to block the Gan River. If so, what we have done before. All the plans are just empty talk!" Xun You and Feng Ji reacted immediately after hearing this, and their expressions became extremely serious. Realizing the seriousness of the stone platform, Yuan Shu and his party hurried to the Gan River. Unfortunately, before everyone reached the Gan River, they saw checkpoints set up in front of them, and the sergeants were closely guarding them. Everyone who came and went was not spared and searched. "Damn it!" Yuan Shu cursed secretly, knowing that Liu Yao had been prepared, and he was filled with anger. "My lord! It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We'd better go back as soon as possible!" There were Liu Yao's subordinates all around. If anyone recognized Yuan Shu, it would be a big accident. "Yeah!" Yuan Shu nodded and said gloomily: "We'll talk about it when we get back." So, everyone turned around and looked at Poyang before returning. After returning to Poyang, Jia Xu asked for forgiveness and said: "My lord has not thought well and is in trouble today. Please forgive me." Yuan Shu said gently: "Wen He doesn't have to be like this! It's my fault, if it wasn't me. He would not try his best to help Liu Yao if he forced Liu Biao too much. "Although Jia Xu was expressionless on his face, he was extremely moved in his heart. He knew that Yuan Shu valued him very much. When he first arrived, he made him take charge of the Intelligence Department. It can be seen. "A scholar dies for a confidant?! Wen You, I can understand you now!" Wen You is Dong Zhuo's most important counselor Li Ru. Jia Xu and Li Ru are not close friends, they can only be said to be acquaintances, but But it does not prevent them from introducing each other as confidants. Jia Xu¡¯s heart?There has always been a doubt about why Li Ru, with his talent, chose a lord like Dong Zhuo. In his opinion, this was tantamount to a secret conspiracy. "However, now Jia Xu is beginning to understand Li Ru's feelings. Even though Dong Zhuo has been criticized by thousands of people, he is the one who discovered Li Ru and gave him a stage to display his talents. Other princes may be more wise and powerful than Dong Zhuo, but they may not give Li Ru such an opportunity. There are many similar ones. For example, Kuai Liang knew that Liu Biao was not his master, but he was unwilling to give it up because Liu Biao was kind to him. Jia Xu is naturally indifferent. He is an extremely selfish person. He always considers himself first and uses himself to judge others. Naturally, he cannot understand the moods of Li Ru, Kuai Liang and others. However, today, a crack appeared in Jia Xu¡¯s frozen heart. Yuan Shu naturally didn't know Jia Xu's complicated heart. Liu Yao set up many checkpoints on the Gan River. The plan to attack Luling had obviously failed. Now there is only one way to defeat Yuan Shu, and that is to attack Yuzhang by force. After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shu asked everyone: "If we attack by force, how much military supplies will we lose before we can win Yuzhang?" , is the best strategy!" Yuan Shu said with a headache: "What we can think of, those talented people in Jingzhou can also think of it. Now the only way is to attack by force." Feng Ji offered his advice: "Lord! Luling is not an option. Can our army do it? Cross Poyang Lake and attack Chaisang. As long as we take down Chaisang, our army can regain control of it. "Chaisang is an important town in Yuzhang. How could Liu Yao be unprepared?" Yuan Shu obviously didn't like Feng Ji's plan. The water is also blocked, let alone Poyang Lake. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly said: "Our army does not have to cross Poyang Lake to attack Chaisang." "Huh?" Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu in surprise and said, "What do you mean by Wen He's words?" Xun You and Feng Ji He was also full of curiosity. "Our army has a naval force in Chaohu. Why don't you use it, my lord? Go down the river and get firewood directly." Although Jia Xu has only been a new member of the army for a long time, he is in charge of the intelligence department and is very familiar with the events under Yuan Shu's rule. , the Chaohu navy naturally couldn't hide it from him. Yuan Shu hesitated a little and said: "The navy is new and lacks combat power. I'm afraid it won't be enough to take down Chaisang." Jia Xu said: "My lord can make a move to attack Yuzhang by force and secretly order people to build ships in Poyang Lake, and then By deliberately leaking this information, Liu Yao must have thought that his lord planned to cross Poyang Lake and attack Chaisang. When the Chaohu navy went south, it might not be possible to capture Chaisang by surprise. " This plan is indeed an excellent strategy, Xun You said. , every time they all nodded secretly. "My lord! Wen He's plan is very clever. The success rate is not small. My lord is not prepared to follow it." Feng Jidao. "I second the proposal!" Xun You said. Yuan Shu pondered for a moment and said: "There's no harm in giving it a try. It's always better than a forceful attack." At this point, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed and he said seriously: "Send an order to Chaohu and order Zhou Yu to command the navy and go south along the river to take Chaisang. .¡±¡
