I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 53 Juye Strategy
By the waterside of Liangshan, Xu Shu and others, who had left Linqiu early, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

Xu Shu looked around and looked at the men who were following him. His eyes showed a trace of relaxation that he had not seen for a long time, and he smiled and said:
"This time you are all your own."

Everyone laughed. Many of them had wounds from the previous battle that had not yet healed. When they laughed, they grinned with ferocious expressions. However, the happy atmosphere still dispersed the long-lost tension and haze, and the golden sunshine pierced through the red clouds just right, with gentleness. The earth sprinkled on everyone, making everyone feel warm.

After leaving Linqiu, they marched for a day. Everyone was exhausted and out of breath. When they arrived here, they finally relaxed.

Xu Shu tiredly sat down in the snowdrift, and all the sergeants also sat down on their own. Many people also played with the snowdrift. Xu He breathed heavily and said with a smile:
"General Xu, can you tell me what's going on now?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a happy and urgent voice coming from the distance:
"Yuanzhi! Yuanzhi!"

There were fishermen checking the waterfront. When they saw the arrival of Xu Shu and his army, the fishermen were overjoyed and hurried into the mountain to deliver the news. After a while, the fishing village on one side was very lively. A group of men poured out like dumplings. The leader was Guan Guan. Hai!
Guan Hai's bronze face was red from the cold. When he saw Xu Shu, he ran up to him without hesitation. The long sleeve of his right arm swayed gently in the air. The yellow scarf soldiers around him also rushed over and knelt down together. Bow in front of Xu Shu.

"The last general, Guan Hai, meets with General Xu!"

Xu Shu stepped forward to help Guan Hai without waiting for him to bow down, but Guan Hai forced him to bow down and kowtowed to Xu Shu hard, causing a heavy collision sound to be heard on the hard ground.

"Guan Shuai, why do you need to...you, you should just call me Yuan Zhi!"

Guan Hai kowtowed seriously and then stood up with Xu Shu's help. He looked at Xu Shu's young face and choked with sobs;
"If it hadn't been for Yuan Zhi, many of us, young and old, would have starved to death this winter.

We can all have enough to eat now, and it’s all thanks to Yuan Zhi. I... I will never thank you until I die! "

Sima Ju next to him was full of shame. He slowly wriggled up and kowtowed to Xu Shu. He said with shame:

"General Xu is extremely capable and blind. He actually doubted General Xu's arrangements before. He is really blind and is punishable by death!"

Guan Hai and Sima Ju had previously conveyed news to Xu Shu through flying pigeons, so they naturally did not dare to write anything more. Xu Shu and Sima Ju met in a hurry during the Chengshi battle, but Sima Ju did not dare to pretend to be too close to Xu Shu in front of Zhang Liao. When Fan finally met, they were so happy that they wanted to express their gratitude to Xu Shu. They were afraid that their kowtows would not be sincere enough to express their gratitude to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu also helped Sima Ju up and said calmly:

“Before I went up the mountain, I was kindly asked to take care of us and give us a roof over our heads.

I said at that time that I would borrow rice and grain from the mountains to survive. I did not break my promise this time. It was really my duty. Why did Guan Shuai and Aju do this? "

All the Yellow Turbans under Guan Hai's command went south and ate well. Although they could not be said to be glowing, their faces were all very good. Thinking that more than a month ago they had not had enough to eat and were living on bark and roots, everyone felt as if they had lived in another world.

If it hadn't been for Xu Shu's ridiculous idea, at least half of the people on the mountain would have starved to death this winter.

The remaining people have to eat those who starved to death in order to survive and welcome the unknown New Year. This is particularly horrifying just thinking about it.

Xu Shu's idea sounded extremely ridiculous at the time, but when it was actually executed, it was smooth and silky with almost no lag. This made the Huangjin people admire Xu Shu and return to Liangshan early to wait for Xu Shu eagerly.

Guan Hai wiped his tears and said with a hearty smile:
"I know that Yuan Zhi is quick to speak quickly - that person also said it bluntly. From now on, these men under my command will have to be looked after by Yuan Zhi.

As long as Yuan Zhi doesn't think we are useless, Guan Hai will sell his life to Yuan Zhi! "

Xu Shu was not humble and said calmly:
"I am very happy to have Guan Shuai to help me. I will have Guan Shuai to take care of me in the future."

The combat power of the Yellow Turbans under Guan Hai was quite good, but they lacked some strategy, training, and, well, some luck.

Mr. Ai said that the soldier of Liu Bei's army that Guan Hai met in Beihai was the fierce general Guan Yu who became so powerful in China that even Mr. Ai did not dare to say bad things about him. Guan Hai was really unlucky to encounter such a monster as soon as he joined the army. .

Sima Ju patiently listened to the greetings between Guan Hai and Xu Shu, and waited patiently for Guan Hai to invite Xu Shu and others to board the boat. While rowing, he said impatiently:
"General Xu, there is something I don't understand - Mr. Wu gave us [-]% of the army rations this time, and said that he was willing to listen to General Xu's arrangements, but the general didn't even see him and just left?
Didn’t our previous business with Mr. Wu go well? "

Although Wu Zi let dogs eat people before, which left a huge psychological shadow on Guan Hai Sima Ju, this man really kept his word. After defrauding Zhang Miao of a large amount of military rations, he actually gave the two of them [-]%, and said I want to continue doing business with Xu Shu through the two of them, and what I do next is entirely at Xu Shu’s disposal.

Guan Hai and Sima Ju thought Wu Zi was joking at first, but later Wu Zi really did not restrict them from returning to Liangshan and sent people to help them transport grain. The two were overjoyed and quickly sent a letter to Xu Shu saying that Wu Zi was really a rare kind man. , this time they finally met a good person.

Afterwards, the Yellow Turbans under the two men once again conveyed the news, saying that Wu Zi did not wait for Zhang Miao's army, but actually led Zhang Liao lightly to the north. When he went north, he broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to quickly send another message to Xu Shu, but found that Xu Shu had already ran back.

The two of them were surprised and happy. They thought it was a coincidence at first, but seeing Xu Shujun running out of breath, and guessing that Xu Shu had guessed Wu Zi's plan, Sima Ju held it in for a long time. Er had nothing to do and finally couldn't help but ask.

Sima Ju looked like a curious baby. Xu He, the witness, quickly pricked up his ears and listened curiously. Xu Shu smiled and said:
“This is a fluke, Wu Zi is very smart, but it’s just superfluous.

If he doesn't do anything, I may not be able to get away, but he is so attentive to you two that he will not hesitate to share [-]% of the army rations. He also said that he is willing to listen to my instructions and continue doing business...

Haha, I don't dare to do this deal. Even if he doesn't kill me, I can only go up the mountain and hide first. "

"what?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Sima Ju asked in confusion:
"Didn't our business with Wu Fujun go well before? I think Wu Fujun is also very loyal and speaks from the bottom of his heart."

Xu Shu was not impatient at all. He looked at the cold water and said with a little nostalgia:
"My master taught me a few mantras when I was a ranger. I will tell you some mantras. They will definitely be of great benefit in the future."

Everyone looked at Xu Shu expectantly, Xu Shu coughed dryly and said:

"Don't talk about love with female musicians, don't talk about morality with merchants.

You only speak from the bottom of your heart, and you must never believe it. "

Speaking of this, Xu Shu showed a hint of self-mockery:
"Although we have achieved a great victory, the reasons are clear to you, as are Zhang Liao and Wu Zi.

You said they would admire us and go out of their way to submit?

Are we worthy? "

The man was killed by Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao didn't kill Xu Shu conveniently because Xu Shu was Cheng Yu's postal supervisor, and Cheng Yu "should" know about his plan to go south. If Zhang Liao killed Xu Shu, Cheng Yu would spread the word about it, and Zhang Liao would have succeeded. The food and grass are not enough to cover the heat, so it is better to divide the spoils together and keep it secret.

Giving Xu Shu food distribution does not mean that Zhang Liao and Wu Zi really admire Xu Shu.

When people don't have enough to eat, they will use all means, even grabbing a straw.

Zhang Liao was short of food before, and he could accept it when Xu Shu came to his door. But after they were full, how could he and Wu Zi be willing to accept Xu Shu's dispatches and listen to Xu Shu's dispatches - just like the current Liangshan Army led by Guan Hai and Sima Ju With enough food and food to survive the winter, there is no need to worry about it. If someone comes to trick them into getting ready, let's see if they will believe it.

After Wu Zi got the benefit, he mocked Guan Hai. Xu Shu thought it was normal, but Wu Zi was so polite at that time. There must be something wrong with him.

Xu Shu judged that since Wu Zi had accepted Zhang Miao's military rations, he would definitely make a show of it. He first stabilized Xu Shu and then led his army to visit Linqiu.

If Xu Shu cannot be killed, capturing the empty city of Linqiu can be regarded as "recovering lost ground".

If Xu Shu could be killed, that would be great - Xu Shu had just murdered the famous scholar Xu Bang and returned home triumphantly. Zhang Miao, the leader of the Yanzhou celebrities, immediately sent Wu Zi to take revenge and let the Yanzhou wealthy people know who to follow to be safe. Who is Yanzhou’s eldest brother?

If this was the case, Zhang Miao would have to thank Wu Zi. Even if Cheng Yu got really angry and told Zhang Miao the truth, it wouldn't matter.

When Xu Shu dies, Zhang Miao and Wu Zi become heroes who kill their enemies and protect the wealthy Yanzhou family. Even if Cheng Yu has more evidence, Zhang Miao will try his best to help Wu Zi cover it up - Zhang Miao cannot be so wise as Zhang Miao Will the famous leader be deceived by Wu Zi and Zhang Liao?

No, no, no?

He is Zhang Miao, so he will definitely not make mistakes when hiring someone.

"Hiss... I see, that's it!" Sima Ju couldn't help but sigh that Xu Shu was really fast.

Just a little slower... Just a little slower and I would have become an accomplice in General Xu's death!

Both he and Guan Hai broke out in cold sweat, thinking that no wonder Wu Zi was so polite and gave him so much military rations.

After working on it for a long time, these are all ways to stabilize Xu Shu!

This person is very calculating. He saw early on that Xu Shu was a fox pretending to be a tiger, but he was still willing to help Xu Shu kill Xu Si and plunder his money and land.

After Zhang Miao begged him hard and gave him so many benefits, he turned around and prepared to kill Xu Shu!

Thinking of the big dog named "Renyi", both Sima Ju and Guan Hai showed a trace of fear on their faces.

fine……

Fortunately, Yuan Zhi has such good skills.

"Damn it! This man is really nothing! Next time I see him, I will kill him!" Sima Ju said angrily.

Xu Shu smiled and shook his head:
"Why is this necessary? We are weak, so he wants to kill us casually.

I knew Wu Zi by chance, so it would be a pity to kill him with one blow.

This time I will give him a big gift. He surrounded Linqiu and Cheng Yu must save him no matter what. This time he fights with Cheng Yu and he will be trusted by Zhang Miao. The more trusted he is, the better things will be in the future. Do it - if someone we don't know comes again, we have to make friends again, which will be a waste of time.

Doesn't he want to do business?

When I break through Juye, I still have a big deal to make with him! "

"Fighting Juye?" Xu He was so shocked that he almost fell into the water, "Are you really going?"

"That's right." Xu Shu said with a smile, "I have been planning for so long, and I promised in front of Cao Ang and Li Zheng, so naturally I am going to fight Juye."

Xu Shu clearly understood that Cao Cao and Wu Zi now only regard themselves as a general who is good at fighting. They are no different from other people who defected to them. They are just pawns in their fight.

We have survived this winter.

What we need to do now is to find ways to join this big chess game, so that we will not be scattered by the rolling torrent and truly have the opportunity to control our own destiny.

“The most important kindness in this world is life-saving kindness.

If I kill Xu Si, Cao Cao will only appreciate my ability.

If I save Cao Ang, there will be many places where I can negotiate terms with Cao Cao in the future. "

Guan Hai did not doubt Xu Shu's strategy, but Juye was close to Juye Ze, so he still had a certain understanding. He was afraid that Xu Shu would still use the same method as before, so he hurriedly said:
"Yuan Zhi, Xue Lan and Li Feng from Juye have a good friendship, but not as good as Xu Si and others."

Xu Shu nodded and said;
"It doesn't matter - Zhang Er and Chen Yu are also very good friends, but didn't they become life-and-death enemies in the end?

I, Xu Shu, am the best at this method. I muddy the water first, and then the big fish rushes around in a hurry, and just falls into my net. "

Sima Ju nodded thoughtfully;
"Then, what should we do first?"

Xu Shu smiled and said:

"The first thing - quickly let Juye City know that we are going to attack Juye and let them prepare!"

Sima Ju: (;Дi|!)
This, are you kidding?

Do you need to let them know in advance before attacking Juye?
They, they are so close to Dong Min, what if they really call Lu Bu here?
Guan Hai frowned and said:
"Yuan Zhi means to attack Juye and force Wu Zi to retreat to save Cao Ang...well, that's not right either."

There were only a few of them, and Lu Bu couldn't deal with such a small number of people. He had to quickly call Wu Zi and Zhang Liao back from the front line. The wealthy families in Yanzhou quickly divided their luggage and dispersed.

Xu Shu said:
"That's not true, right..."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu actually showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Guanshuai, I still have something to entrust to you alone."

As he spoke, Xu Shu whispered in Guan Hai's ear.

Guan Hai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out:
"What, Lu Bu's daughter?"

Xu Shu: ...

I secretly said it just because I didn’t want anyone to hear me, it was so embarrassing.

Guan Hai scratched his head sheepishly and smiled;

“Okay, okay, I’ll take care of this matter.

But... Yuan Zhi is going to fight Juye. If Lu Bu knew about this, how could he let it go? He would definitely refuse. "

Xu Shu smiled and said:

"He definitely refused, but it doesn't matter, he agreed later."

Xu Shu remembered Mr. Ai's disdain for Lu Bu before, and also recalled Mr. Ai's jumping up and down.

I don’t know what Ai Zhu is doing now, I miss him.
