Chapter 323 The biggest naysayer in Cao Cao's camp? Xu You: My turn?
Yeonjin Castle
Cao Jun's Camp
Cao Cao and Su Yu were playing chess at that moment.
Beside them was an uninvited guest, Kong Rong!
Ever since Yuan Tan seized Linzi, this fellow has come to Cao Cao's camp, shamelessly asking Cao Cao to quickly grant him an official position and allow him to retire comfortably.
Out of consideration for their past alliance as allies and his status as a 20th-generation descendant of Confucius, Cao Cao granted him a sinecure as a "Fu Jie Ling" (a minor official post) and symbolically gave him a small fief.
Since Kong Rong's fief happened to be near Yanjin, this fellow ran to the military camp.
At this moment, seeing Cao Cao and Su Yu still playing chess, Kong Rong angrily said:
"Wen Chou is a fierce general no less than Yan Liang, a match for ten thousand men!"
Why are Cao Sikong and Su Weiwei still here indulging in their hobbies and pursuing their ambitions?
"Could it be that you believe you are about to lose this battle, and have therefore given up on yourself?"
Su Yu said without looking up:
Why does Magistrate Kong think this way?
"Could it be that Commander Kong doesn't think that Su and Cao Sikong are in complete control, hence his leisurely demeanor?"
Kong Rong looked displeased and said sarcastically:
"It was just good luck that Yan Liang was killed."
"Wen Chou has Ju Shou as his advisor; how could you possibly kill him?"
Hearing this, Su Yu laughed.
Kong Rong understood nothing about political struggle.
No wonder, this guy in history angered Cao Cao and was executed by Cao Cao for several crimes.
Even if our strength is inferior to others, we should not be pessimistic, but rather encourage them.
Could it be that if Yuan Shao wins, what good will come of it for Kong Rong?
I don't know what Kong Rong was thinking.
Perhaps it was just empty talk; or perhaps he wanted Cao Cao's camp to take him seriously.
But in reality, nobody cared.
Just as Kong Rong was about to continue spouting his outrageous words...
Several intelligence guards came in from outside, bringing news that Cao Cao's army had defeated Wen Chou twenty miles away.
"What!?"
"how is this possible?"
"How could Wen Chou possibly die at your hands?"
Kong Rong grabbed the sleeve of one of the intelligence guards and shook him repeatedly.
The intelligence guard didn't tolerate him and pushed him to the ground.
Kong Rong was furious and got up to complain to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao simply said, "You may leave," and the intelligence officer left unharmed.
Afterwards, Su Yu even sent someone to give the intelligence guard some rewards.
Kong Rong, on the other hand, was so angry that his face turned ashen.
When he heard that Wen Chou had been betrayed and killed by his subordinates, he laughed again:
"Hahaha, I told you, it must be just luck."
"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
Su Yu clicked his tongue twice, thinking Kong Rong was an idiot.
But why not deal with Kong Rong immediately?
The reason is also very simple.
Even idiots have their uses.
Given Kong Rong's low emotional intelligence, he will surely continue to associate with certain people with ulterior motives in the future.
At that time, if we use Kong Rong as a bomb, we'll wipe out the whole nest!
at the moment.
Kong Rong, who had spoken ill of the situation, was sent back to Xuchang by Cao Cao.
The news of Wen Chou's death in battle was not unexpected for Su Yu.
He said to Cao Cao with a solemn expression:
"My lord, the real decisive moment is yet to come."
"But before the outcome is decided, let's wait and see what kind of drama will unfold when Yuan Shao and Ju Shou learn of Wen Chou's death."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly.
This bitterness is directed at Yuan Shao.
To some extent, Cao Cao actually sympathized with Yuan Shao.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were veterans who had followed him for many years, corresponding to Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren on Cao Cao's side.
Imagine if Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren had suddenly died; Cao Cao would probably have cried his eyes out in secret.
But sympathy does not mean backing down.
Of the two former best friends, Yuan and Cao, only one will have the last laugh.
……
"Wen Chou is dead?"
"Alright, we can withdraw our troops now."
Ju Shou chuckled and ordered the entire army to retreat.
The Battle of Yanjin resulted in the loss of only a few thousand cavalrymen, most of whom were Yuan Shao's own troops.
For Ju Shou, it was a complete victory!
Yuan's army camp
Ju Shou's return also brought news of Wen Chou's death.
Yuan Shao stared blankly at Ju Shou, whose face was filled with sorrow.
"My lord, I, Ju, am willing to accept any punishment!"
"It was I, Ju, who failed to dissuade General Wen Chou, which led him to fall into Cao Cao's trap. I am guilty!"
Ju Shou was overjoyed.
Everything is going according to plan.
With Wen Chou dead, Chunyu Qiong was the only senior general left by Yuan Shao's side.
As for Ju Shou's camp, apart from Qu Yi, who was unfortunately tricked by Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu and forced to be eliminated, there was no other member.
The remaining senior generals were all unharmed!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly.
It turns out that when a person is extremely angry and sad, they can laugh.
As he watched Ju Shou's clumsy acting, a murderous intent gradually gathered in his heart.
The cat cries for the mouse; it's just pretending to be sad!
Wen Chou, isn't it all your fault?
Row!
You want to punish Ju Shou, right?
I will grant your request.
Yuan Shao immediately issued the order:
"Ju Shou is guilty, and his position as military supervisor is hereby revoked."
"Furthermore, Zhang He and Gao Lan no longer need to obey Ju Shou's orders."
Before Zhang He and Gao Lan could speak, Ju Shou immediately replied:
"Thank you for your grace, my lord!"
“I, Ju, will resign from this post as military supervisor and reflect on my mistakes in private, so as not to betray the trust of my lord.”
Having said that, Ju Shou swaggered out of Yuan Shao's tent.
What if he loses his position as military supervisor?
The fact that Ju Shou was able to serve as the military supervisor had nothing to do with his ability, but rather that only he could serve as the military supervisor.
So what if Zhang He and Gao Lan were transferred?
As long as I, Ju Shou, give the order, those two will absolutely not listen to you, Yuan Shao!
Chunyu Qiong was so angry he gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour Ju Shou alive.
Yuan Shao was the same.
Xu You, on the other hand, was trembling with fear, his face pale.
Why did Wen Chou still die despite the prior planning?
Is Ju Shou really that invincible?
wrong!
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Xu You.
Ju Shou was able to win this time because he took advantage of the "momentum" of Cao Cao's camp.
If Cao Cao's camp hadn't turned the tables on him, Wen Chou probably wouldn't have died in battle.
But even so.
Xu You still felt a chill run down his spine.
In the battle against Ju Shou, Yuan Shao's side had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage.
Along with the deaths of Yan Liang and Wen Chou on Yuan Shao's side, and the loss of many soldiers.
Ju Shou now has a terrifying 70% of the total number of Yuan's troops at his disposal on the front lines of Guandu!
This means that only 30% of the troops listened to Yuan Shao.
"How to do how to do?"
Xu You's hands and feet were ice cold.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both dead, who will be next?
however.
at this time.
A god-like support, Guo Tu is the most trustworthy strategist in Yuan Ying's camp!
This is about to give Yuan Shao an excellent opportunity to turn the tide!
