Chapter 282

Yang Hong listened, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "My lord! We can leak the route and news of the grain transport to the bandits along the way;"

"Or, we can simply secretly mobilize some troops from Runan or Nanyang in advance, disguise them as bandits, and carry out the looting halfway;"

"Loot the grain that should be given to Su Xuan, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Of course, the details here still need to be paid attention to;"

"Otherwise, the time for transporting grain should be delayed as much as possible until the grain on Su Xuan's side is about to run out;"

"At that time, even if Su Xuan knows the news that the grain was looted, and asks us to send it again, it will be too late!"

"Moreover, he won't be able to make an issue of it and blame us. What does my lord think?"

Yang Hong felt that he was truly helped by the gods today; his brain was particularly sharp!

In the past, he couldn't have thought of such a good idea himself.

"It seems I have become smarter!"

Yang Hong thought with some self-satisfaction.

"Slap!"

Lord Yuan Shu listened, clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Good idea! Yang Hong, you are capable! Just do as you said!"

"This matter is left to you to handle! Including the matter of mobilizing troops, I will give you an order later;"

"Work hard, and after it's done, there will be no shortage of benefits for you;"

"As for letting the warlords delay time, leave that to me!"

In Lord Yuan Shu's view, this was the simplest thing.

Since the warlords don't want to lose too many troops at Hu Lao Pass, then drag them along to slack off and wait for the situation to change.

Hmm! You can directly use the excuse of waiting for Su Xuan to achieve results there first.

After all, attacking Yi Que Pass is much simpler than attacking Hu Lao Pass, right?

The only thing Lord Yuan Shu is worried about now is that Su Xuan will break Yi Que Pass within three months, then all his calculations will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Lord Yuan Shu couldn't think of any good way, so he immediately told Yang Hong his concerns.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Yang Hong listened, frowned slightly and said: "This is really hard to control!"

"The combat power of Su Xuan's troops is already very strong, plus there are fierce generals like Zhao Yun, Yi Que Pass may not be able to hold out for three months."

Hmm! Let alone three months, if Su Xuan gets serious, Yang Hong feels half a month is enough.

"So, we can only find a way to secretly leak Su Xuan's intention to break Yi Que Pass, as well as the news of Su Xuan's troop strength, to Dong Zhuo;"

"Arouse Dong Zhuo's attention, and then let Dong Zhuo send reinforcements to Yi Que Pass;"

"In this way, it should be able to delay for a longer time."

"Presumably, as long as he knows this news, Dong Zhuo should not remain indifferent;"

"Because he knows the combat power of Su Xuan's troops very well, and at the same time, he knows that once Yi Que Pass is lost, Hu Lao Pass will become a decoration and break without being attacked!"

"As long as Dong Zhuo is not stupid, he will know how to choose."

Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, nothing more than this.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Lord Yuan Shu listened, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise: "With this plan, why worry about not being able to make Su Xuan lose troops and generals? Then let's do it according to this!"

"Haha! Su Xuan, your good days are coming to an end!"

"Haha! My lord is wise!"

Seeing this, Yang Hong also hurriedly flattered him.

He seemed to have already seen the scene where this plan succeeded, Su Xuan suffered heavy losses, and then after the anti-Dong campaign ended, he was defeated and annexed by his own lord.

Presumably, he would definitely be able to obtain great benefits by then, and even leap to become the number one strategist under his lord, humph humph!

Neither of them noticed that on this camp, a bird had heard their conversation from beginning to end and seen it in its eyes.

After they finished discussing and Yang Hong left, the bird flew away.

More than an hour later,

Outside Yi Que Pass, in Su Xuan's camp,

"My lord! This is urgent intelligence from Hu Lao Pass, regarding the discussion among Lord Yuan Shao, Lord Yuan Shu, Xu You, and Yang Hong on how to plot against you. Please take a look, my lord."

Jia San handed over a piece of intelligence, looking serious.

"Oh?"

Su Xuan listened, slightly surprised, took the intelligence and said: "Interesting! Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu actually thought of dealing with me together? I have to take a good look!"

Saying this, Su Xuan opened the intelligence and read it quickly.

Guo Jia on the side was also a bit surprised.

After reading it, Su Xuan raised his eyebrows, handed the intelligence to Guo Jia on the side with a mocking expression, and laughed lightly: "Guo Fengxiao, you take a look too! It's quite interesting!"

"Oh?"

Guo Jia was a bit surprised by Su Xuan's attitude. If it could be called interesting by the lord, then it must be really interesting.

He immediately took it and read it quickly.

Then he looked at Su Xuan with a strange expression and laughed lightly: "Hehe! My lord! The ideas of Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu are quite good!"

"That Xu You also looks quite far ahead! It's a pity! His brain is not enough! Such a small scheme has no possibility of success in front of you, my lord!"

"They actually want to delay the war for three months?"

"By that time, Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital would have been completely finished, and the daylily would have been cold by then. How would we get benefits?"

"Even the coalition forces here would have gained nothing by then, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to explain it to the people of the world;"

"They would have no face left!"

By then, the warlords would not only have no merit, but also be unable to gain fame, and even lose their own fame.

It's simply not worth the loss.

"Obviously, Lord Yuan Shao didn't expect that Lord Yuan Shu actually gave me three months of grain in advance! Hehe!"

Su Xuan joked with a light laugh.

Fortunately, he had made preparations for defense at the beginning and deliberately asked for some extra grain.

Otherwise, although he wouldn't have fallen for the scheme, he would probably have had to transport a batch of grain from Xinye in advance.

It can only be said that Lord Yuan Shao and the others had good ideas, but unfortunately, they met a pig teammate.

Of course, no matter what, with Su Xuan having the dark guards exploring intelligence from all sides in real-time, it was impossible for them to truly plot against him from beginning to end.

Lord Yuan Shao and the others had never truly understood him, Su Xuan.

"Hehe! It's still the lord who has foresight!"

Guo Jia was also happy and said: "This Lord Yuan Shu, having pitted Sun Sun Jian once with this method, actually wants to repeat the same trick. I guess his brain is not very good! He can't think of any other way!"

"However, Lord Yuan Shu is preparing to leak our army's intelligence to Dong Zhuo, letting Dong Zhuo strengthen the defense of Yi Que Pass. This point, I'm afraid, will succeed, so we still have to make tactical adjustments for this point. What does the lord think?"

They didn't plan to take Yi Que Pass directly for the time being, so they couldn't stop Dong Zhuo from sending reinforcements.

"It's fine!"

Su Xuan waved his hand indifferently: "Yi Que Pass is only so big, at most, it will only add 10, 00 to 20, 00 reinforcements!"

"For the tactics we have formulated, the difference is not big;"

"In fact, having more people is not necessarily a good thing!"

"We might be able to make an issue out of it, and when we attack Yi Que Pass, it might not be impossible to take it more easily!"

Factional infighting exists under any warlord.

Even under Su Xuan, such things are unavoidable.

But Su Xuan used his own methods and means to change this infighting into healthy mutual competition and involution.

Turning disadvantages into advantages, making his subordinates develop faster and become more vibrant at the same time.

But other warlords don't have his means.

Even someone as wise as Cao Cao couldn't do this.

In fact, the internal power struggles of Boss Cao in the future will be more intense than those of many warlords.

It's just that his means are more brilliant than other warlords, so he barely balanced most of the infighting problems.

Not letting his own power regress instead of advancing.

This guy has plenty of talents under his command, from all kinds of scholar-official families.

The factions are complex and intertwined.
