Chapter 769 Han Fu's Decision

In Yecheng, in the governor's mansion of Jizhou, Han Fu immediately called everyone to discuss the matter after receiving the news from Sizhou. After hearing that Yuan Shao's army would attack again, people in Jizhou had different reactions.

Many officials in Jizhou were deeply dissatisfied with the fact that they were still unable to resist Yuan after forming an alliance with Sizhou, especially the local families of Taoguan and Wei County headed by Li Li. They originally thought that they could resist Yuan Shao after forming an alliance with Sizhou, but who knew that the two armies were defeated and retreated again and again in front of Yuan Shao's army, and Han Fu's territory was reduced in repeated battles.

However, Ju Su and others still supported the approach of the Sizhou army. Jizhou lacked a general, and even with Pan Feng, there was only one and a half. Zhang He counted as one, and Pan Feng could only count as half at most. The rest of them, Geng Wu, Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan and Min Chun, could not even be counted as generals, and could only be regarded as literati leading the army.

So facing the large number of Yuan Shao's army, there was no way to defeat them one after another.

As for the Sizhou Army, although it also had many soldiers and generals, every time Yuan Shao attacked, there were always people who helped him to hold back most of the Sizhou Army.

According to the news from Sizhou, two generals, Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong, and 10,000 cavalry and infantry will be sent to support this time, but as Sizhou inferred, Yuan Shao's attack this time is likely to be with the idea of ​​​​achieving success in one battle, so Ju Su's opinion is that the final preparations must be made.

Ju Su's meaning is the same as Sizhou's suggestion, first prepare to retreat to Yecheng, if possible, stop Yuan Shao's army outside Weijun, if not, then you can only defend the cities around Yecheng and make plans after the Sizhou war is over.

But Li Li and others disagreed. Instead of doing this, it is better to surrender to Yuan Shao directly, so as not to be so nervous all day long. The two parties argued endlessly, and no one could convince each other. Han Fu was even more confused and didn't know what to do.

At this time, a letter from Han Xue arrived. After reading Han Xue's letter, Han Fu sighed and said to Ju Shou and others: "Gentlemen, my daughter persuaded me to give the post of Jizhou Mu to my son-in-law, and let me go to Luoyang Academy to live out my life with General Huangfu and others."

When Ju Shou and others heard this, they stopped arguing and stared at Han Fu in amazement. They were speechless for a long time. Their lord was indeed too weak. If he was born in a prosperous era, he would be a capable official. Born in this chaotic era, he is...

Ju Su was the fastest to react, saying, "My Lord, did General An Dong ask Miss to write this letter?"

Han Fu shook his head and said, "No, it was Xiaoxue who wanted to write it herself, and Cang Ting Hou didn't know about it. Xiaoxue also said in the letter that Cang Ting Hou has always admired your talents, but because of the marriage between the two families, it is not easy to ask me to ask you to go to Sizhou. I have said many times that if you are willing to go to Sizhou, I will definitely welcome you with open shoes."

Ju Su believed what Han Fu said very much, because he and Tian Feng were good friends. In the past few years, after Tian Feng went to Sizhou to take office, the two often exchanged letters, and Tian Feng also mentioned this matter several times.

Thinking of this, Ju Su said, "My Lord's intention..."

Han Fu sighed and said, "I understand what my daughter means. Such a chaotic world is beyond my ability. Instead of being a vain official and doing nothing, it is better to do what I can and not delay you from showing your strengths. So I decided to hand over the position of Jizhou Mu to General Andong. As for you, if you are willing to follow me, you will definitely recommend one or two to General Andong. If you are not willing, I will also give you a gift."

Ju Su and others were also very moved when they heard it. They stepped forward and saluted and said, "We are all willing to follow you."

"Okay, okay, Gongyu, you can send someone to Luoyang to ask General Andong to send someone to take over the military and political affairs of Wei County." Han Fu was very pleased and hurriedly said to Ju Su;

"I obey your order."

As for the others, some people wanted to continue to persuade Han Fu, but Han Fu was unwilling to listen and hurriedly ended the meeting and went back to the backyard.

Two days later, Huangfu Chaobo, who had received the news, hurried to Yecheng with Huang Zhong's Hu Ben cavalry and accepted Han Fu's seal of Jizhou Mu.

He accepted the post of Jizhou Mu, but at this time, Jizhou Mu only had Weijun County.

Afterwards, Huangfu Chaobo arranged for someone to escort Han Fu to Luoyang.

After Han Fu left, Huangfu Chaobo summoned Ju Su and other former Han Fu's subordinates to discuss matters. On the spot, Huangfu Chaobo appointed Ju Su as the right military advisor and the Gongcao of the General of Andong, and moved Zhang He to the fourth-rank general of conquering the enemy, and ordered him to form the Shenwu Camp, which was a full-staffed camp of five schools with four infantry and one cavalry. The rest of the people were also promoted.

Afterwards, Huangfu Chaobo explained the strategy discussed with everyone in detail to Ju Su and Zhang He, and handed over the battle of Weijun to Ju Su for coordination and command. Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Hua Xiong and other military officers and generals were all arranged by Ju Su.

Ju Shou, who had gained the trust of Huangfu Chaobo, was extremely excited. He had always considered himself as talented as Tian Feng, but he had never been appreciated by a wise master. In the past few years, he had always envied his old friend for being able to show his strengths. Now that he had joined his old master and was given such an important position, how could he not devote himself to the cause until his death.

After getting Huangfu Chaobo's consent, Ju Shou began to arrange military and political affairs in Weijun. The first thing was the arrangement of troops. Although Zhang He knew that time was tight, he still decided to select the troops of the Shenwu Camp first and arrange them all in Yecheng for training. Because almost the entire Han Fu Army was recruited by Zhang He, the selection and training process was very fast and smooth.

Within ten days, the carefully selected 25,000 soldiers entered Yecheng. Afterwards, Zhang He began to train his soldiers. As for the defense arrangements of other cities in Weijun, Ju Shou handed them over to other people, and Huang Zhong's soldiers were arranged by Ju Shou to inquire about the movements of Yuan Shao's army.

In addition to arranging the mobilization of troops and defense arrangements, Ju Shou also arranged for local governments to mobilize population, money, grain and materials to Yecheng and the cities in Henei behind.

What surprised everyone was that although Li Li was not very willing to surrender to Huangfu Chaobo, he did not strongly oppose it. After surrendering with everyone, he took the initiative to ask to go to Taoguan to defend the city and resist Yuan Shao's army from advancing westward.

Jizhou Mu Han Fu suddenly gave up the position of state governor to Huangfu Chaobo, which once again stunned the players in the game. In less than a year, three princes had surrendered to Huangfu Chaobo.

Unlike the players, Yuan Shao was as furious as Cao Cao. The position of Jizhou Mu that he had tried so hard to get was actually given to Huangfu Chaobo by Han Fu. This made Yuan Shao hate Huangfu Chaobo even more and made him more determined to attack Weijun and even invade Sizhou.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao's troop mobilization had not been completed, so he could only watch the various actions of Weijun's troops.
