In Yuan Jun's camp outside Yuzhang City, as the January period was approaching, Yuan Shu gathered a crowd to discuss the advisability of marching. "If we attack by force, how many days will it take to reach Yuzhang City?" Yuan Shu asked Xu Chu, Wei Yan and other generals. Xu Chu said loudly: "Lord, don't worry! It only takes three days, and the city will be destroyed!" Wei Yan said with a proud face: "What General Xu said is true! Our army's offensive has not been strong these days, so the city must be slacking off. Now that it has suddenly exerted force, the city "I'm not prepared enough. If I persist for three days, I'm looking down on them." "That makes sense!" Yuan Shu nodded slightly. Unexpected results can often be achieved. Turning to the counselors, he asked, "What do you think?" Xun You and others exchanged views with each other and were about to speak. Suddenly, I saw the attendant hurriedly enter the account and said: "Your Majesty! General Zhou Yu has ordered people to come here and report something!" "Oh?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and waved: "Invite him in." "No!" The attendant went. Afterwards, Yuan Shu looked thoughtful and thought to himself: "Did something happen to Chai Sang?" After a while, a servant led a person to the tent and said: "Greetings to my lord!" "I don't need to give you any formality. Please tell me what happened first. ?" Yuan Shu said seriously. "Report to my lord! Our army has inspected a Jingzhou army, about 30,000 strong, and is heading towards Yuzhang City. It will arrive in about five days. General Zhou Yu ordered his subordinates to report so that my lord can be prepared." "Jingzhou soldiers and horses? Come to Yuzhang?" Yuan Shu frowned. Logically speaking, even if Liu Biao sent reinforcements, they should go to Chaisang. What are you doing in Yuzhang? This doesn't make sense. At this time, Feng Ji said: "My lord! It seems that besides Kuai Liang, there are capable people around Liu Biao." "Huh?" Yuan Shu didn't know why and looked at Feng Ji in surprise. He didn't quite understand what Feng Ji said. What does it mean? Xun You said: "Liu Biao sent troops, obviously intending to save Liu Yao and fight against the lord. It should be noted that if our army wants to capture Jingzhou, it must first attack Yuzhang, otherwise everything will be impossible." Yuan Shu suddenly realized that Liu Yao was resisting in front of him. Jingzhou only needs to face the pressure from Xiangyang, otherwise Jingzhou will never have peace. However, Yuan Shu still had some doubts. "Chaisang has been captured by our army. Isn't it too late for Liu Biao to rescue him at this time? Moreover, Chaisang is located behind Yuzhang, which cuts off the connection between Jingzhou and Yuzhang City. To rescue Yuzhang, no matter how you look at it, it is a matter of looking far away. Yuan Shu said with a frown. Lu Su, who had never spoken before, suddenly said: "No! From our army's point of view, Chaisang is indeed behind Yuzhang, but for Jingzhou, Yuzhang is also behind Chaisang. If our army sends troops from Chaisang to attack Jingzhou, Yuzhang can send troops to cut off our army's retreat, or even directly invade Jiangdong and disrupt our rear areas." After hearing this, Yuan Shu immediately understood Liu Biao's plan. "It would be great if we could exchange (Chai Sang for Yu Zhang)!" Yuan Shu sighed. At this time, Wei Yan suddenly said: "My lord, there is no need to worry. As long as our army attacks Yuzhang City before reinforcements arrive, the situation will naturally turn to our side." Yuan Shu's eyes lit up. Wei Yan was right. As long as we capture Yuzhang City in advance, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up. Even if the reinforcements arrive, they can only look at the city and sigh, with no choice. Thinking of this, Yuan Shu looked at Xu Chu, Wei Yan and other generals, and said solemnly: "Instruct all the troops to start a strong attack tomorrow. No matter what the cost, the city must be broken within three days." "Promise!" Everyone responded loudly. Immediately, Yuan Shu said to Zhou Yu's envoy: "You go back and tell Zhou Yu that I will give him the right to make a decision on the spur of the moment. Let him make the decision in the battle of Chaisang. If necessary, he will destroy Huang Zu's troops and teach Liu Biao a lesson!" "Promise!" "Disperse!" Come on!" Yuan Shu waved his hand, stood up and left. There will be a big battle tomorrow. Wei Yan, Xu Chu and others are all happy, putting their arms around each other, talking and laughing, and are ready to go. There are four left: Xun You, Feng Ji, Jia Xu and Lu Su. Jia Xu wanted to leave, but as soon as he left the tent, he was stopped by Feng Ji. "Wen He stays!" Feng Ji quickly came to Jia Xu's side and whispered: "I dare you to ask Wen He to explain it to the account." Jia Xu glanced at Xun You and Lu Su behind Feng Ji and nodded slightly. So, the four of them came to Feng Ji¡¯s account. After everyone sat down, Feng Ji said: "Everyone! My lord's behavior today seems to be very different from usual." After hearing this, the three people had different expressions. Xun You looked thoughtful, Jia Xu lowered his head and remained silent, and Lu Su He looked confused. Lu Su had not been with Yuan Shu for a long time and did not understand his temperament, so he showed such an expression. Before, Yuan Shu¡¯s opinions on these counselors were:They attach great importance to everything and must ask for everything, but today they are dictating everything. Apart from asking them to analyze it, they did not ask for strategies. Fengji immediately noticed the changes in Yuan Shu, so he discussed it with Xun You and others. At the moment, Xun You thought for a moment and said: "My lord's majesty is getting stronger day by day. It's not surprising that he behaves like this." Feng Ji nodded and said, "That's right! My lord's domineering power is revealed today, and I feel it deeply." After a pause, Turning to Jia Xu, he asked, "What do you think of Wen He?" Jia Xu said calmly, "A great hero of a generation." "Eh!" Feng Ji frowned slightly and said, "Why can't you say it clearly?" "I'll be there tomorrow." Got it!" With that said, Jia Xu stood up, said goodbye and left. Feng Ji was a little unhappy, feeling that Jia Xu was being mysterious. Seeing this, Xun You smiled and said, "Wen He's character is such that you don't need to take Yuan Tu to heart. And he is also doing it for your own good." "What do you mean by this?" Feng Ji asked curiously. Xun You glanced at Lu Su and knew that he was a kind man, so he had no scruples and said directly: "As a minister, it is treason to speculate on the heart of the Lord!" Feng Ji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. Lu Su's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and pretended not to hear what Xun You said. "Thank you Gongda for reminding me!" Feng Ji reacted and quickly thanked Xun You. Xun You consoled: "Don't worry Yuan Tu, my lord is not a narrow-minded person. Even if he knows, it will not happen." Feng Ji nodded slightly. He knew this better than Xun You. After all, he was the first among several advisers to follow Yuan Shu. In order to ease the atmosphere, Xun You asked Lu Su: "Zijing! Do you think it will be easy to capture Jingzhou?" Lu Su could not help but flash the faces of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others in his mind, thought for a moment, and said: "Jingzhou has quite a lot of talented people. There are so many, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get them." Xun You took a deep look at Lu Su and said, "Guan Zijing's expression seems to be very familiar with the talented people in Jingzhou." Lu Su nodded and said, "When I was in Wu County in the past, I knew him well. Talking to four Jingzhou scholars, it is embarrassing to say that Su Zhi's talent may be equal to that of one of them, but the other three are ashamed." "Oh?" Even Feng Ji became curious after spending these days together. , they knew how talented Lu Su was, and there were actually three people in Jingzhou who were better than Lu Su. Xun You and Feng Ji were immediately interested. Seeing that the two of them were very interested, Lu Su told them in detail how they met Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others. Xun You and Feng Ji were amazed when they heard this. "One day, when my lord captures Jingzhou, he may be able to subdue them!" Lu Su said. "I'm afraid it's difficult!" Xun You shook his head and said: "Listening to Zijing's words, they all have the same impression of the lord. It should be noted that people like them generally do not change what they believe in. Just like my uncle Xun Yu, the lord has had many Although he later abandoned Yuan Shao, he did not come to join his lord in the end. " When Xun Yu was mentioned, Xun You couldn't hide the look of sadness on his face. Seeing this, Feng Ji clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Let's not talk about this. We are about to march tomorrow. Let's think about what we can add." Xun You recovered, and the three of them began to discuss tomorrow's battle. ?¡ ?Moreover, when Jia Xu returned to his tent, before he could rest for a while, someone came to report, and Yuan Shu summoned him to discuss important matters. Jia Xu tidied up his clothes and went to see him. After staying in Yuan Shu's tent for more than half an hour, Jia Xu just came out. No one knew what they talked about. "Subsequently, Jia Xu secretly met another person. Who this person was and what they said was unknown. That night, a man sneaked out of Yuan Jun's camp and looked at Yuzhang City.
