Chapter 1014 Ju Shu goes to aid Yuan Shao's surprise attack

Pang Yuan's guess was completely correct. Ju Su clearly saw Pang Yuan's series of plans, and wrote a letter to Han Fu to give up Puyang and even Dongjun, make peace with Lu Bu as soon as possible, and then jointly attack Yuan Shao.

Unfortunately, Ju Su is not by Han Fu's side, but someone around Han Fu's side advises Han Fu, giving up Dongjun today, will he give up Dongping and Weijun tomorrow? If Lu Bu presses step by step, where can Han Fu retreat? Even if he wants to make peace with Lu Bu, it must be that Lu Bu suffers a great loss before the two sides have the basis for peace. If Han Fu blindly shows weakness, it will only make Lu Buxing think that he will be more capable.

After Han Fu thought about it, he still felt that this suggestion was more reasonable. Although he also tended to make peace with Lu Bu, peace also required conditions. If he was too weak, Lu Bu would definitely speak loudly. Therefore, fighting a tough battle in Puyang is the right way to promote peace.

Han Fu's order was delivered to Ju Su. Ju Su was speechless for a while and could only lead reinforcements to Puyang to help. In addition, in order to prevent changes in Jibei and Dongping County, Ju Su gave Zhang Heer a letter of duty, so that he would be careful to prevent surprise attacks from Yuan Shao. If there were police, defense should be the main focus, and Ju Su would return to the army to support him as soon as possible.

"Fuqing, why not let a certain attack on Ju Su's troops? Are you worried about failure?" Lu Bu sat on the Red Rabbit Horse, looking down at Ju Su's troops who were slowly moving in the distance, and asked in confusion.

"General, Ju Su knows that we will raid on the road, but why is he not prepared? Look at his marching speed so slowly, he must be a means of counterattack in the team. I guess. It may be heavy crossbow soldiers and giant crossbow chariots. If the general attacks, there may be losses."

"How come there is no loss in war?"

"Haha. The problem is that now we must choose to minimize losses as much as possible, because a series of wars have begun! It is not easy to replenish our cavalry, but their infantry are easy to replenish. Why not avoid such avoidable losses?"

Pang Yuan raised his hand and put a sunshade on his eyes, squinted his eyes and looked at Ju Su's well-organized troops, simulating the effects and consequences of the cavalry attack in his mind.

"But, we just watched Ju Su reach Puyang?"

"Of course not. They have just set out and will have to walk at least five days at this speed. We can come slowly, General, and you will lead the cavalry team to harass each other in a row. You cannot fight melee but only attack with bows and arrows. You must also be careful of the opponent's counterattack."

"Is this for the exhausted soldiers?"

"Yes. They can't calm down at night. After two or three days, I don't believe that they can still maintain this rigorous formation. As long as they reveal their flaws, it's the time for us to defeat them."

Lu Bu nodded and smiled: "Some family understands it, kids, prepare to attack! Fuqing, just watch here. Haha."

Ju Su did have arrangements in the marching team, and when he saw the cavalry appear, the spearmen and swordsmen on the periphery quickly set off the horses and squatted down to let the shooting world out. Then the giant crossbow and heavy crossbow aimed at the cavalry that was raiding. Fortunately, Pang Yuan had arrangements, and Lu Bu's cavalry circled around the distance. In the case of bad times, he did not attack vigorously. Instead, he shot a round of bows and arrows in the direction of the head and tail and retreated.

Ju Su sighed. The opponent was a very difficult opponent. If Lu Bu attacked fiercely, Ju Su would feel at ease. Although his troops might be crippled, Lu Bu's troops would never be able to live well. It would not take long for him to replenish the troops when he returned to Yingcheng, and Lu Bu's cavalry would not be able to recover their combat power in a few months.

Now that Lu Bu is posing for a fight, he has to use the strategy of exhausted soldiers. Even though he knows his plans, he has no better way to deal with it.

Sure enough, Ju Su's troops had just resumed their marching, and Lu Bu's cavalry came again. Ju Su had to act as a defensive posture again. Lu Bu's cavalry shouted and ran around, shot two rounds of painless bows and arrows, and retreated again.

After a day, Ju Su's troops stopped for many times. The enemy came and went, and repeatedly played the game of wolf coming. The final result would numb the mind. The soldiers all stopped mechanically with the instructions, defended, removed defense, and advanced. They worked hard and failed to make a serious blow to the morale of the soldiers.

However, Ju Su's troops were well-trained, and Ju Su's own command was not low, so their morale and discipline were still well maintained. Finally, the sun set in the west, Ju Su's troops began to camp. Unfortunately, they only walked less than thirty miles today, and at this speed, they could not reach Puyang for ten days. It was a long journey!

Ju Su went to Puyang, and Qu Yi was also heading south to cross the river. Han Fu's elite soldiers were gathering towards Puyang. Yuan Shao's intelligence personnel told Yuan Shao very clearly that perhaps the opportunity to attack Han Fu was coming.

Yuan Shao had been waiting for a long time, and he could not miss this opportunity to completely defeat Han Fu and unify Jizhou. Yuan Shao, who was prepared, made a heavy blow and launched a raid on Pingyuan County from Bohai, Leling and Jinan.

When Han Fu received Yuan Shao's manifesto, the Gexian, Banxian and Linyi of Pingyuan County had been besieged by Yuan Shao. Han Fu now scolded Yuan Shao for being useless and useless.

While Han Fu regretted that he had not listened to Ju Su's advice, he quickly sent envoys to Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu, hoping to re-establish the anti-Yuan alliance. However, the situation has changed at this time. Even if Zhang Jiao still wants to support Han Fu, the problem is that Lu Bu sternly rejected Han Fu's request for peace.

Now that the situation has started, why would Lu Bu sway left and right?

Ju Su quickly wrote a letter to Han Fu, suggesting that Han Fu gather heavy troops to attack Lu Bu. Ju Su's suggestions were completely opposite to the beginning. It was not surprising. This was also due to changes in the battlefield situation. If you give up Puyang at this time and turn around and transport troops eastward to the plains, it would be too late to run back and forth on the road and rescue both sides were not in a hurry to rescue, it would be better to fight to the side and beat one of them away. The other would naturally be more restrained. Then there would be a chance to rebalance the strategic layout.

However, Han Fu could not understand Ju Su's thoughts, and repeatedly felt it was difficult to understand Ju Su's letters, and it could even be interpreted as a satire of Ju Su's sarcasm to Han Fu. Han Fu was very embarrassed and naturally had prejudice in his heart. So Han Fu issued an order to change Qu Yi's direction and go east to support Pan Feng. Ju Su continued to move towards Puyang.

The Quyi tribe who had arrived at Dunqiu was ordered to turn to the eastern line, and the distance to the plain was at least 800 miles. Pan Feng, who had struggled to support Pingyuan County, was waiting.

Ju Suze continued to move towards Puyang helplessly. Lu Bu's harassment war had entered the fourth day. Lu Bu refused to fight decisively, obviously unwilling to bear excessive damage to the war. He was waiting for Ju Su's troops to make major mistakes in extreme fatigue, and then defeat Ju Su's troops in one fell swoop.

March 9, the sixth year of Guangxi.

"Sir, after Ge County and Linyi, Ban County was lost yesterday. Xipingchang was surrounded. General Pan Feng's letter of help was here again."

This information was brought by Min Chun. In fact, it was not him who received the information. The problem is that no one dared to touch Han Fu's bad luck early in the morning. Only the old minister, Min Chun, has this kind of courage.

Han Fu's hands shook, and although his face was as quiet as possible, the subordinates below still trembled and lowered their heads one after another.

"Xichangping is in an emergency, so where should we send troops to support us? Ah?"

Han Fu's voice suddenly increased, scaring everyone below to shake. However, now that the two fronts are starting a war, we still have to be on guard against Zhang Jiao in the north and Yan Liang in the south. Where can we adjust the soldiers? Everyone lowered their heads and didn't make a sound, and Han Fu's breathing sounded louder and louder.

"Why don't you make a sound? Don't you have many ideas in your daily life? Ah?"

No matter how much he suppressed, Han Fu still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. The situation was originally in a big way, but suddenly it would take a sharp turn and become so passive. Should he really have to follow Ju Su's advice, give up Pingyuan County, concentrate his troops to build a defense line in Qinghe, and echo the north and south of Ji, use the Yellow River to facilitate the resistance of Yuan Shao, and even give up the three counties in Henan when necessary to protect himself.

When Han Fu thought of giving up the territory he had worked hard to capture, blood was dripping in his heart. When Han Fu imagined Ju Su's expression and tone, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Sir, now that our army is fighting on both sides, the troops are too short, so it is not easy to want reinforcements. Moreover, Qu Yi's troops are also on the way. Cheng Huan's navy has reached the vicinity of Xipingchang. Let General Pan Feng hold on for a while, or give up Xipingchang and establish a defense line in Pingyuan City."

Min Chun ignored Han Fu's anger and suggested slowly. Han Fu's eyebrows stood up: "Retreat to the plains, most of the plain counties were lost, and they fled without fighting, so how can they maintain morale? No, order Pan Feng to defend Xipingchang to wait for assistance, order Qu Yi to speed up the advance, and order Cheng Huan to actively raid Yuan Shao's stronghold along the Yellow River."

After pausing, Han Fu said again: "Order Ju Su to speed up the march, arrive in Puyang as soon as possible, and join Gaolan to fight against Lu Bu County!"

Min Chun looked at the clerk who wrote the orders quickly and recorded Han Fu's orders, and then looked at the officials below who bowed their heads and said nothing. He couldn't help but sigh. He was familiar with Han Fu and knew that Han Fu seemed very decisive now. In fact, he was most uneasy at this time. The more confused Han Fu was, the more arbitrary he would be, as if he wanted to try his best to hide his panic. However, most of his arbitrary actions were wrong at this time.

"Sir, my subordinates think Ju Su's suggestions are correct, so you may as well use them!"

"Hmph! Ju Su's suggestions are repeated over and over again, and it is completely opposite. Is it true that such absurdity? It's simply nonsense. Do you want to harm me?"

Min Chun wanted to speak but stopped, sighed heavily and said, "Do you want to harm the adults? Can you tell me? If you don't listen to the honest advice, you will suffer!"

"Enough! You're tired, go down and rest!"

Min Chun shook his head and bowed silently, turned around and left. When the other ministers saw this, they became even more silent. For a moment, the hall was a little terrible.
