The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 318 Yuan Shao died of illness
Li Yuan walked into the room and saw that Jushou had been washed and put on clean clothes, but his face was tired, sallow and thin, it seemed that he was still worried about Yuan Shao, he was really loyal.

"Has Jushou eaten?" Li Yuan walked in and asked concerned.

"Thanks to General Li's care, I have already eaten some rice." Ju Shou cupped his fists and said gratefully. In fact, he did not eat much, because he was not in the mood to eat at all, and was always worried about Yuan Jun.

"Since you can't even go back to Hebei, you might as well stay with me."

"General Li, what do you mean?" Ju Shou didn't understand.

"Dare to ask, is it true that you have not been reused by Yuan Shao, nor have you gained Yuan Shao's trust?" Li Yuan asked intentionally.

Jushou was stunned for a moment, but did not answer, because he was indeed not treated fairly by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao reused Guo Tu, but Guo Tu's repeated wrong strategies led to Yuan Shao's defeat. However, Yuan Shao still trusted Guo Tu and gradually alienated him. , has made him feel a little chilled.

"Sure enough, Yuan Shao doesn't know how to employ people, and his loss to Cao Cao is also expected. I think you should have offered him several times, but he didn't listen to your advice. If he listened to your advice, the one who failed now It doesn't have to be him, I also feel sorry for you because you have a great talent but are not reused." Li Yuan sighed.

Ju Shou's face was gloomy, but he still said: "Thank you, General Li, for your kindness, but no matter how unfair my lord is to me, he is still my lord, and I will not easily abandon him and go to someone else."

Jushou knew that Li Yuan wanted to recruit, but he was not a man of Qin Mu Chu, and he would not betray Yuan Shao easily.

Li Yuan was not in a hurry, because he knew that Yuan Shao would die of shame and anger in two years. At that time, Yuan Shao's sons would fight each other for power and profit, and Cao Cao finally defeated them one by one.

"Ju Shou, you should stay in Xiapi during this period. As long as Yuan Shao doesn't defeat Cao Cao for a day, it will be difficult for you to cross the river and return to Hebei. Now the relationship between the Yuan and Cao armies is at its worst. Cao Cao must be very strict on the port. , if you take the risk to cross the river, it is very likely that you will be seen through, so I advise you not to act rashly, of course, if you want to leave, I will not stop you."

Li Yuan left after speaking, because of Jushou's loyalty to Yuan Shao, even if he talked too much, the other party would not be able to surrender. Unless Yuan Shao died, Jushou would be able to vote for others. Now he only needs to give Jushou some small favors.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are flying like a shuttle, two years later, that is, the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have fought several times in the past two years, Cao Cao has more victories than defeat, and beat Yuan Jun without temper, as if everyone Everyone felt that Yuan Jun was dying.

In May of the same year, news of Yuan Shao's illness and death suddenly came from Hebei. The death was very sudden. Once Yuan Shao died, Cao Cao had no opponents at all, because Yuan Shao's sons could not pose a threat to him at all.As Li Yuan expected, after Yuan Shao's death, his sons began to fight each other for the succession. Cao Cao saw the right time and immediately sent troops to attack Hebei without hesitation.

At this time, Li Yuan's soldiers in Xiapi have also completed training. Although they have no experience, they will definitely become elite soldiers after going through war experience.

Li Yuan immediately summoned Xi Zhicai and others to discuss sending troops to attack Jiangdong.

"Everyone, now the time is ripe to attack Jiangdong. Although we were once allies with Sun Ce, we all know that we will meet each other one day. This is the general trend and our mission. I don't hesitate to be an enemy, and please help me!" Li Yuanzheng said awe-inspiringly.

"I will swear to follow the lord to the death!" All the civil servants and generals clasped their fists and said at the same time.

At this time, someone suddenly reported that Cheng Pu had come to see him.

Hearing this, Li Yuan asked Cheng Pu to come up.

"Cheng Pu met General Li!" Cheng Pu walked into the meeting room.

"Cheng Pu, what do you mean you came all the way from Jiangdong?" In fact, Li Yuan had already guessed what Cheng Pu was going to do.

"Report to General Li, order my lord to come and fight!" Cheng Pu took out the letter in his hand.

"Presumptuous, how can you be arrogant here!" Huang Xu stood up and reprimanded him young and vigorous. Although Cheng Pu was a veteran in the battlefield, Huang Xu was not afraid at all.

"Hmph." Cheng Pu just sneered and ignored Huang Xu.

"Huang Xu, don't be rude." Li Yuan was not angry, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Cheng Pu, Sun Ce and I are old friends. Whether it is against Yuan Shu or attacking Jingzhou, I will join hands with him to prove that Li Yuan is For those who trust him, it is the general trend to confront each other. I, Li Yuan, will never blame him. I knew that such a day would come when I helped him pacify Jiangdong. However, Sun Ce and I have both said that no matter what In the end, whoever wins and who loses, my friendship with him will never change, and it is my luck for Li Yuan to be able to fight against a hero like him."

Cheng Pu clasped his fists and said respectfully: "General Li, of course we know the friendship between you and my lord, and we, the heroes of Jiangdong, also respect you very much, so the lord sent me to Xiapi to write a letter of war, just to fight you dignifiedly, No matter what the outcome, we don't hold grudges against each other."

"Okay, what an upright battle, I'll take over this battle, Li Yuan!" Li Yuan walked down in person, took the battle book in Cheng Pu's hand and opened it to read, and after reading it, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha, You go back and tell Bo Fu that I am looking forward to this battle very much, and tell him not to show mercy, otherwise I will blame him."

"You must take General Li's words with you, and I will take my leave first!" Cheng Pu bowed his hands to Li Yuan, then retreated and returned to Jiangdong.

"Sun Ce dared to send Cheng Pu to fight. He is really brave." Huang Xu didn't know whether it was a sarcasm or a compliment.

"Sun Ce is an upright person. It is normal for him to do this. Now that he has come to fight, it proves that he is also ready to fight our army. He may not be as good as me in terms of military strength and money, but we must not underestimate Sun Ce. The strength of the Jiangdong navy is extremely elite, and this time the attack on Jiangdong needs to cross the Yangtze River, he will definitely intercept it on the river, water battles are inevitable, are the navy ready now?" Li Yuan asked.

"My lord, for the past three years, our army has trained water troops in Lujiang, Jiangxia, Xiangyang and Jiangling. Wenpin is in charge of Lujiang water army, Jiangxia water army is in charge of ban, Xiangyang water army is in charge of Gan Ning, and Jiangling water army is in charge. Tai Shici is in charge of the navy, and Gan Ning is in charge of all the navy." Xi Zhicai knows everything about the army.

"Is Tai Shici familiar with the tactics of the navy?" Li Yuan expressed doubts about this.
