Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

The offensive and defensive battle lasted until the third day.

Yuan Shao ordered his scouts to urge Ju Yi to speed up the attack on Zhuo County.

The warriors of the Xiandeng Camp under Ju Yi, who were known for their fearlessness, were still unstoppable like an iron stream, even though they had suffered nearly 30% casualties. They attacked the gate of Zhuo County again and again, and each charge was accompanied by tragic shouts, echoing in every corner of the battlefield.

Ju Wu also found something wrong at this time.

So far, the biggest consumption is the troops they led. Although these people are not from the Xiandeng Camp, they are all soldiers trained by them and are very loyal to themselves.

What made Ju Wu even more suspicious was that at this critical moment, General Yan Liang came in person and took away the elite halberd troops without much explanation. This sudden change, like a dark cloud covering the sun, cast an ominous shadow over Ju Wu's heart.

He knew that the halberd soldiers were the sharpest blades in the army, and each soldier was an elite who had been carefully selected. Being transferred away from the front line at this moment was undoubtedly a major adjustment to the current war situation, but the deep meaning behind it was elusive for him.

And Yan Liang's reason was to guard against Liu Yao who was heading south.

Now Yan Liang still had Yuan Shao's military order, and they dared not disobey.

"Brother! Yuan Shao's move is really puzzling! At this critical moment, he resolutely withdrew the elite halberd soldiers from the battlefield. Don't our warriors who first entered the camp have any fatigue and damage? Isn't this chilling the hearts of the soldiers!"

Ju Wu's words were mixed with deep helplessness and sighs, as if even the air around him was heavy.

Ju Yi sighed.

"Alas, after all, Yuan Shao still doesn't believe me at all."

At this time, Ju Wu's face was full of indignation, and he approached with big strides, with unwilling flames flashing in his eyes.

"It must be that old villain Xu You who is behind this! Ever since we followed Mr. Feng Ji's advice and joined Yuan Shao's army, he has set limits everywhere and made things difficult for us. He deserves death!"

Ju Yi heard this and shook his head gently, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, you are still too young and impetuous. The world is thousands of times more complicated than you think. Yuan Shao is a suspicious ruler. Even if we are loyal, we can't escape his suspicion. This is the law of survival in troubled times, cruel and true."

"If it weren't for Yuan Shao's authorization, do you think Xu You would have the courage?"

"Now, Yuan Shao's intentions are obvious. He wants to use our troops as bait to devour us. When our military power gradually declines, he can sit back and relax and play with us."

"After all, the rebellion in the past is like a dark cloud hanging over our heads. Yuan Shao always has an indescribable vigilance against us."

At first, he was forced to rely on our strength due to the situation. That reliance was just a stopgap measure. "

"Ah..."

Ju Yi sighed, his brows intertwined with helplessness and unwillingness. The complex expression seemed to carry thousands of words, but it turned into a heavy sigh, echoing in the empty tent.

"Brother! Yuan Shao treated us so unfairly, why should we go through fire and water for him? Now, we have a large number of troops, just like a tiger with wings. Why not take this opportunity to find another way out and let Yuan Shao know that a real eagle will not stay under others for a long time and be manipulated by others? "

"I don't believe it! Can he just watch us give Zhuo County to Liu Yao? "

...

In Yuan Shao's camp.

Xu You and Feng Ji, two wise men, are like a needle against a wheat spike at this moment, and they are once again caught in an irreconcilable dispute.

"Feng Ji! Are you crazy? You are asking General Yan Liang to withdraw the halberd soldiers now. How do you want General Ju Yi to feel? Do you want him to think that we have to cut off our own arms at this critical moment of life and death? "

"Don't you know that the good bows are hidden when the birds are gone?"

"Now you know that the front line in front of Ju Yi is tight, and you still pull down the halberd soldiers! It's so stupid! So stupid!"

Feng Ji sneered, and his eyes flashed with disapproval.

"The war has dragged on to the third day, and Zhuo County is still as solid as a rock, without any sign of shaking. Although Ju Yi is brave, he is a surrendered general after all. People's hearts are different from their stomachs. Who can guarantee that he will not have a different mind at a critical moment? As for the halberd soldiers, I have my own use, how can I easily expose them to danger. "

"If he keeps holding heavy troops and refuses to obey orders in the future, I will never allow this to happen! "

"And this is also approved by the lord! If you don't believe me, go ask the Lord!"

Xu You was furious when he heard this. He strode towards Feng Ji and almost pointed at his nose and shouted at him..

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! How can you be so short-sighted? Although General Ju Yi is not an old subordinate, his loyalty and bravery are obvious to all. At the moment when the front line is in urgent need of manpower, you want to withdraw his support. Isn't this self-destruction? What else can it be? Have you ever thought about how this move will chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

The two people's argument echoed in the silent tent, and every sentence was full of gunpowder.

At this moment, a voice interrupted the two people's conversation.

"Hehe, everyone knows that General Ju Yi's relatives and beloved wife are now living safely in Yecheng. Just imagine, if he really has a rebellious heart and surrenders to Liu Yao, wouldn't the safety of his family be hanging by a thread and in danger at any time?"

After speaking, Yuan Shao walked into the big tent leisurely, with unquestionable majesty and depth in his steps, as if every step was stepping on the drumbeat in everyone's heart.

"Lord!"

Xu You's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and his eyebrows were filled with worry and resentment that could not be concealed.

"Withdrawing the elite soldiers of the halberd at this moment is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm. If General Ju Yi is hindered and unable to conquer Zhuo County, how passive will our army fall into? Lord, if you want to sharpen Ju Yi's heart, why do you have to choose this critical moment? Alas..."

Yuan Shao sneered: "Hehe, Xu You, who do I want to sharpen? Do I need you to teach me?"

"You are just my counselors! You have crossed the line!"

"Lord! You! You! You! Alas!..."

Xu You's voice was full of helplessness and unwillingness, as if a passion was suddenly extinguished by cold water, and finally turned into a heavy sigh, echoing in the empty tent.

After saying that, Xu You turned around angrily, his sleeves fluttering, and he left the tent in a hurry with a heart full of disappointment and confusion.

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You's back with a gloomy face.

Feng Ji, who was standing by, did not forget to step on him.

"Humph! This Xu You is really getting more and more unruly!"
