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

Shen Pei looked at Ju Su and said with a gloomy expression.

"No."

Ju Su shook his head.

"Why?"

Shen Pei frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Although my lord is a great leader, he lacks decisiveness."

"If I tell my lord about this now, he will definitely ask Tian Feng, Xu You, and Guo Tu."

"Three people, three mouths, will definitely have different strategies. Tian Feng advocates fighting, Guo Tu advocates retreat. If Xu You interferes, the lord will be in a dilemma."

"The fact that all the previous efforts in the Northern War were wasted is a minor matter. The loss of troops and generals is the most unacceptable."

Ju Su shook his head and sighed.

He is the most comprehensive and outstanding person under Yuan Shao.

Ju Su knew his master's character very well.

This is also why, among the many advisers under Yuan Shao's command, Yuan Shao always gets close to some and distances himself from others, but Ju Su can always be relied upon by Yuan Shao.

As for the later deprivation of military power, it was more the result of the aristocratic party struggle.

With Tian Feng falling out of favor first, and with Guo Tu, the phantom god of civil war, around, no matter how powerful Ju Su was, he could not defeat the Yingchuan faction.

"But what if Yecheng is lost?"

Shen Pei nodded slowly, but was a little hesitant.

Although he has good character and is upright, he is far inferior to Ju Su in ability.

Therefore, he did not have a very thorough understanding of the current situation in Jizhou.

"Yecheng has 10,000 soldiers and countless food and fodder inside the city. How could we possibly lose them?"

Ju Su frowned and asked back.

"Right."

"Then do as you say."

“I’m going to inspect the city walls to see if General Wen and his men have returned.

Upon hearing this, Shen Pei nodded in agreement and immediately left.

Looking back at Shen Pei's back, Ju Su felt helpless for a moment.

Jizhou had just been stabilized, and the internal factional struggles were extremely serious. Coupled with the joint attack of Gongsun Zan and the Dong family, if this difficulty could be overcome, Yuan Shao would soar to the sky. If not, he would probably be unable to recover.

What worried Ju Su the most was the problem of internal discord.

Although Yuan Shao was powerful and known for having many counselors and brave generals.

But as the forest grows bigger, there are naturally more and more birds of all kinds.

Where there are people, there are struggles. The issue of succession and the secret rivalry between the Jizhou family and the Yingchuan family will become fatal things at critical moments.

"I just hope that my lord can get through this trouble safely."

Ju Su sighed and sat back in his seat helplessly.

On the top of Yecheng City, Shen Pei came to the city wall and inspected the defense of the city wall.

Fortunately, Yecheng is the provincial capital, and it has sufficient military equipment, supplies, and food.

"You must be on your guard."

"All those entering and leaving the city gates must be carefully checked. If anyone shows any unusual behavior, they will be detained immediately."

Shen Pei gave instructions to Generals Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan.

"Don't worry, we will definitely guard the city gate."

The two generals bowed respectfully in response.

"Well, it's actually okay. Once Generals Wen and Han return, everything will be fine."

Shen Pei stroked his beard and nodded.

"..."

The corners of Generals Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan's eyes twitched slightly.

If it weren't for the other person's high status, the two of them would definitely start cursing at each other.

You're not even planning on using us, so why are you still talking about J8?

Those who don’t know would think that we will soon become generals.

Bah, get down!

Soon, at the end of the sight outside the city, the flag of Yuan army slowly approached.

"The troops are in good order and the retreat is well-founded."

"It seems that this victory has been won."

Shen Pei's heart finally settled down, and he spoke softly.

The army retreated, and Jiao Chu had already dispersed the people outside the city gate to make way for the army.

Wen Chou rode his horse in the front with a gloomy and uncertain look on his face. After entering the city, he saw Shen Pei who had been waiting for a long time.

"General Wen, did we win this battle?"

Shen Pei looked at Wen Chou and asked.

"Hard to say."

"There are so many people talking at the moment, let's talk about it in the city."

Wen Chou looked gloomy and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Shen Pei's heart skipped a beat.

Does that mean we lost?

It can't be.
