System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Report, my lord, the Black Mountain army has come down from the mountains to plunder and has invaded Zhao State."

Yan Liang bowed and reported the news he had just learned to Yuan Shao.

"what!"

Several counselors frowned.

Just after formulating the next strategy, two very unfavorable pieces of news came out at once.

"what?"

"Damn it, Zhang Yang has misled me!"

"And Zhang Yan and his group of Yellow Turban remnants!"

Yuan Shao was furious.

It’s really unpleasant to have someone trip you up at the critical moment.

And the most important thing is that not only was Zhang Yang his former man, but he was also very fierce in fighting and should not be taken lightly.

"My lord, why did Zhang Yang station his troops at Dangyin for no reason?"

"This matter is a bit strange."

Xu You frowned and asked suspiciously.

As a very intelligent person in Yuan Shao's camp, Xu You immediately realized that there might be some tricks involved.

Although Xu You is selfish and has no bottom line, he is still very intelligent.

So as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell into deep thought and began to think about the possible problems that might arise.

"Why not send an envoy to Zhang Yang to get some information?"

"If you want to benefit, just agree to it first. Our main opponent right now is still Gongsun Zan."

Tian Feng made a suggestion with a serious expression.

"Well... whatever, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and agreed.

"My lord, regarding the Black Mountain bandits, you can have Ju Su and Wen Chou lead the troops. These mere bandits can't cause any trouble."

Shen Pei cupped his hands and suggested.

Although Ju Su was a scholar, he had actually always been a military officer.

Whether in strategy or battle formation, Ju Su was an outstanding general in Yuan Shao's camp.

Compared with brave men like Yan Liang and Wen Chou who only knew how to charge into battle, Ju Su's status was actually higher.

"Hmm~"

"With you leading the troops and Wen Chou as general, five thousand men should be enough to defeat the thief Zhang."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said in agreement.

Although the Black Mountain bandits often claim to have a million people, in fact, they include the elderly, the weak, women and children.

There were only tens of thousands of bandits who could actually go into battle, and they were a motley crowd lacking armor and soldiers.

Although Zhang Yan had some abilities, he was still no match for Ju Shou and Wen Chou, a duo with both civil and military talents.

"My lord, if this happens, Yecheng will be extremely empty."

"This is inappropriate!"

After Tian Feng thought about it for a while, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly reminded him.

"what?"

"How is that possible? Don't we still have 5,000 soldiers?"

Yuan Shao frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"My lord, aren't you going to lend Zhu Jun five thousand troops and thirty thousand stones of grain and fodder?"

"In this case, there are only more than a thousand soldiers in Yecheng."

"If Gongsun Zan leads a cavalry force to launch a surprise attack on Yecheng, Yecheng will probably be unable to resist!"

Tian Feng quickly reminded Yuan Shao.

After hearing Tian Feng's explanation, Yuan Shao felt very uncomfortable.

What kind of bad luck has he had recently? Why does so many bad things happen to him?

Is he in trouble this year?

Zodiac year?

No, it’s been two years since my zodiac year!

That year was indeed a bad year, as the thief Dong took advantage of me.

Now when I think about it, I have to curse Dong Zei when I wake up in the middle of the night before I can go back to sleep.

"My lord, if it really doesn't work... let's delay it a little."

"It's not that we won't lend him troops. As long as he survives this most difficult time, we can lend him not only 5,000 troops, but even 10,000."

Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao's dilemma and immediately made a suggestion with a smile.

"Will this... lose trust?"

Yuan Shao was a little hesitant.

After all, your reputation is important.

To date, Yuan Shao's reputation remains the best on the stage of the late Han Dynasty.

After all, he has a good background, and he works hard to maintain and market his image, which attracts many talented people like bees to the fragrance of flowers.

"My lord, what Mr. Guo said is correct."

"We are not breaking our promise to him, but postponing it."

Xu You glanced at Guo Tu, then bowed to Yuan Shao.
