Chapter 604

"How do you judge whether Gu Linzhi is really lacking grain and fodder, or if he has other plans?"

"You let us hold firm blindly, but you don't know what consequences holding firm will bring to our army's morale!"

"Holding firm for one day, two days, three days is naturally no big problem."

"But if we hold firm for a month."

"How will the soldiers view you?"

"How will they view the lord?"

"How will they view King Tadun and the General of Chariots and Cavalry?"

(PS: It was mentioned earlier that Zhang Yan was appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry by the puppet emperor Liu He.)

"You must know, your strategy of holding firm is not letting the soldiers defend in a city, but building defensive fortifications on flat ground!"

"No matter how strong the defensive fortifications are, how can they compare to a city?"

"In my opinion, this is not holding firm at all, but joking with the soldiers' lives!"

"Thump!"

As these words fell.

The entire main camp instantly fell into a deathly silence.

And the one who spoke was none other than Guo Tu, known as the "Rhythm Master"!

The reason Guo Tu was able to spray so much this time was mainly because he had received a secret bag sent by Gu Yi.

In the secret bag, the "rhetorical techniques" taught by Gu Yi on how to attack Ju Shou were recorded.

Sure enough.

Ju Shou's face instantly became extremely ugly.

Even Yuan Shao, Tadun, and Zhang Yan looked at Ju Shou with a hint of scrutiny.

The three of them were also "people who knew military affairs."

Otherwise, they couldn't have grown to their current scale.

Ju Shou's proposal, after being said by Guo Tu, indeed had many unreasonable aspects.

The most prominent one was that Ju Shou let the soldiers hold firm, but only built defensive fortifications on flat ground.

This method could also be called holding firm.

But the effect of holding firm was certainly far inferior to a sturdy city.

Furthermore.

The inference that "Gu Yi lacks grain and fodder" had never been verified from beginning to end.

To put it bluntly, this was just Ju Shou's personal guess.

Whether it was true or not, no one knew.

Although Guo Tu and the Henan aristocracy in the Yuan camp had gone from being the original wife to the mistress.

It did not mean they had lost the power to make suggestions.

On the contrary, Yuan Shao felt guilty toward the Henan aristocracy in his heart.

High-level figures of the Henan aristocracy in the Yuan camp, such as Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and Xun Chen, also had the opportunity to participate in the Yuan camp's military conferences and propose suggestions at the meetings.

Guo Tu's suggestion was equivalent to forcing Ju Shou into a dead end.

However.

Ju Shou was Ju Shou after all.

As a top-tier "Celestial Dragon" of the late Han era who could sit in the position of a provincial second-in-command at the age of twenty and was known in history books as "unifying internal and external affairs and shaking the three armies."

If he couldn't even handle this small scene, it would be a real disgrace!

Soon.

Ju Shou thought of a way to refute Guo Tu.

But he did not notice that the smile on Guo Tu's face became increasingly strange.
