Chapter 944 Great Hero Guo Tu
At the end of May, after more than half a month of working day and night, Guo Tu finally returned to Nanpi as he wished.
After returning to the General's Mansion, before he had time to report the results, he was warmly welcomed by Yuan Shao.
All the civil and military officials in the general's mansion looked at Guo Tu differently.
Even Feng Ji, who had been having a quarrel with Guo Tu before, had to be ashamed and shameless to look at Guo Tu.
The eldest son Yuan Tan was even more overjoyed, and kept praising Guo Tu for his unparalleled wisdom.
"My lord, is this...?"
Guo Tu was completely puzzled by the sudden celebration.
Unexpectedly, the treatment that should have been enjoyed in Chang'an City was transformed into the residence of General Nanpi!
But he didn't report the situation at all, and he didn't say what the result of going to Chang'an was.
But according to this degree of joy, everyone must have known their own achievements.
Could it be that Yuan Shao's scouts are faster than himself?
Guo Tu couldn't believe it. The soldiers' legs were almost broken these days. How could anyone be faster than him?
When Guo Tu was extremely puzzled, Yuan Shao personally answered Guo Tu's doubts.
"Gongze, thanks to you this time!"
"According to the report from Wei Jun's scouts, Cao Cao returned at least 100,000 of the 250,000 soldiers and horses deployed in Hebei!"
"There is even more news that a battle broke out between Henan Yin's Liu Zhang's army and Cao Cao's army!"
"Whether this news is true or not, tell this general!"
No wonder everyone, including Yuan Shao, looked surprised. It turned out that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops drastically.
Guo Tu straightened his back immediately, scanning the crowd with his nostrils for a week.
"My lord, I have lived up to expectations and succeeded in persuading Liu Zhang to send troops!"
"When Tu left Chang'an, he personally urged General Xu Huang to lead the army to Xin'an!"
"Presumably Xu Huang had already led his army into Henan Yin. Cao Cao was caught off guard and had to retreat in a large area!"
Speaking of this, Guo Tu's resentment towards Xu Huang dissipated a lot.
I didn't expect Xu Huang to be so sensible!
That being the case, the Prime Minister will let you go generously!
In Guo Tu's view, Xu Huang's eagerness to send troops must be because he was afraid of his own power.
"Good! Great!"
After getting Guo Tu's confirmation, Yuan Shao no longer had any doubts in his heart.
Finally, there is no need to worry that the withdrawal of troops is an illusion of Cao Cao.
"Gongze really deserves to be a lonely arm!"
Yuan Shao was very excited, he didn't expect that Guo Tu could really complete such an important task.
"Hehe, thank you, my lord."
At this moment, Guo Tu didn't feel much about Yuan Shao's praise.
Yuan Shao is nothing more than a great general.
And he, Guo Tu, will be the prime minister of a country in the future!
Seeking to be able to sit on an equal footing with Yuan Shao in the future, and even stabilize Yuan Shao's head, Guo Tu can't wait to spray Yuan Shao's hot face with his nostrils.
But Guo Tu held back, he knew Liu Zhang gave him a heavy responsibility, and managed to make both Yuan and Cao hurt!
"My lord, Bandit Cao has been humiliated on both sides, and now it's hard to care about him!"
"As long as the lord's army comes out at this time, we will surely be able to kill the Cao thief!"
"My lord, it's too late to change!"
Guo Tu's words immediately touched Yuan Shao's heart.
"Gongze's words are very suitable for the general's heart!"
"Back then, my general wanted to launch an attack when Cao Bandits had just withdrawn their troops, but someone insisted that it was Cao Bandits' plan!"
"This caused General Ben to miss a good opportunity!"
Saying that, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Feng Ji, and glared at him viciously.
Seeing this, Guo Tu sneered again and again, he didn't even need to look at it, he also knew who Yuan Shao was criticizing and scolding Huai.
"Hehe, mediocrity mistaken the master. The country!"
"If the lord had sent troops earlier, maybe Cao thief would have been defeated by the lord, and the land of Hebei would have returned to the lord!"
The more Yuan Shao listened, the angrier he became, and the hatred in his heart was overwhelming.
I didn't expect such a good opportunity to be wasted by the trash!
"Gongze, it has to be you!"
"Some people who claim to be intelligent are all trash!"
Hearing Yuan Shao and Guo Tu insulting him in unison, Feng Ji could only shrink his head, not daring to refute at all.
Feng Ji felt very uncomfortable, he couldn't figure out how things turned out like this?
Guo Tu is obviously the same existence as himself, so why did he step on him so hard with a leap?
Especially in these two missions to Guanzhong, they have made great achievements frequently!
If someone praised Guo Tu's eloquence and resourcefulness, Feng Ji would definitely scoff.
Feng Ji can see Guo Tu to the bottom at a glance!
The ability is there, but it is not used for good.
Fighting for power and profit, forming cliques, and framing colleagues are Guo Tu's strengths.
Although today's Fengji is also this kind of person, he firmly believes that it was Guo Tu who did the harm from the beginning to the end!
There is no way, working with people like Guo Tu every day, can you not be affected?
Feng Ji not only wondered how Guo Tu succeeded, but also wondered whether Liu Zhang was kicked in the head by Guo Tu!
Yizhou has gone through years of wars, and Liu Zhang finally established the Qin State. Even fools know that they need to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang actually sent troops!
If it weren't for the threat from the Central Plains, how could Cao Cao have made a large deployment of troops?
There is even more news that Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other clans have been transferred back!
Feng Ji couldn't figure it out, and couldn't ask, maybe only time can answer his doubts...
Just when Feng Ji was thinking wildly, Yuan Shao stood with his sword.
Yuan Shao had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
"Observe the order!"
The civil servants and military generals on the left and right, and Yuan Shao's three sons stood up at the same time, all of them had excited expressions in their eyes.
They have waited too long for this day!
Especially Yuan Shao's three sons, what kind of foundation they can inherit in the future depends on this battle!
Swish!
Yuan Shao quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it towards the air, even he was trembling with excitement.
He is forty-eight years old, and his body and energy have long since deteriorated.
Yuan Shao reckoned that this was the final battle between him and Cao Cao.
Maybe Cao Cao can't be taken down in one go, but Yuan Shao wants to take Hebei back, at least leaving a complete foundation for his son!
Whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, whoever can inherit the Yuan family's great cause has at least left a strategic depth.
Even if you don't have the strength to make progress, you can guarantee that Hebei will not be lost if you stick to the banks of the Yellow River!
"In this campaign, we must eliminate the Cao thief and rescue Your Majesty!"
"Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou, led an army of 50,000 to attack Pingyuan County from Ling County!"
"The governor of Bingzhou, Gao Gan, will lead 50,000 Bingzhou troops from Huguan to the east, approaching Sheguo in Wei County!"
"This general will personally lead an army of 100,000, and go south from Julu County to fight the main force of Cao's army!"
"In this battle, all generals must do their best, and those who don't do their best will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao's sharp sword slashed down, and the case was cut in half in a few moments!
"Follow the orders of the general!"
Three days later, Nanpi was ready, and Yuan Shaobing marched in two directions.
Not long after, the high officials in Huguan received the order and immediately led an army of 50,000 to fight out.
For a time, the land of Hebei was turbulent, and Cao and Yuan fought fiercely again.
