Yuan Shao originally thought that Pei Qing would be out of food at most two months, but two months passed, and Pei Qing's Yingzhong had no movement at all, which surprised him because it was a little different from what he planned.

"Did this Pei Qing have another way to solve the problem of food? But how is this possible?" Yuan Shao gradually felt a little uneasy because he had no idea about Pei Qing's intelligence.

However, Yuan Shao did not believe that Pei Qing would have any solution to the food crisis, so he insisted that Pei Qing's current calmness must be pretended. In fact, Pei Qing must be in a crisis.

At this moment, Guo Tu came to report that he had captured a detailed work from Pei Qing's army and found a letter from it. The letter was a letter asking for help from Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. The letter mentioned that Pei Qing's army was insufficient, and hoped that Liu Yu could lend him 300,000 hu of food and grass, and wait for the harvest next year to make a profit of 300,000 yuan.

Yuan Shao was surprised to hear this and said, "Hehe, I knew Pei Qing must have no food. The reason why there was no movement in his city was definitely a trick used by Pei Qing's child. It seemed calm, but in fact it had already been undercurrents. Now I guessed that Pei Qing's army had no food and would definitely lead the army to retreat in a short time. It seems that we have great hope to celebrate the New Year in Luoyang. Gongze, you have made great contributions this time."

When Guo Tu heard this, he quickly said, "My lord is a mistake. It is under the wise guidance of his lord that his subordinates can make such a small contribution. His subordinates are just icing on the cake. But if you don't have your lord's plan, how can the subordinates have the opportunity to make such contributions?"

"Haha, the master is just good at speaking." Yuan Shao smiled and felt very proud when he heard this.

However, Ju Su, who was standing beside him, was silent, and there seemed to be a worry between his eyebrows.

The smile on Yuan Shao's face suddenly froze, and then said, "I wonder why the public and his face are worried?"

Ju Su said, "Lord, the official thinks this may not be so optimistic. Perhaps this is Pei Qing's trick. Now two months later, even if the food in Pei Qing's army is really in urgent need, it should be recruited from Yuzhou or Nanyang first? Where is it necessary to seek far and far to ask Liu Yu? Besides, if Liu Yu really borrows grain, he may have to pass through our defense zone? Pei Qing is really confident that Liu Yu can send the food here? Xia Guan has always had such an intuition that since Pei Qing ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep two months ago, there has been a conspiracy targeting us. We must be more careful. As long as we are a little careless, we may regret it."

"This is not unreasonable," Yuan Shao lowered his head and thought, and then said softly.

But Guo Tu laughed and said, "If you really think this way, you would be wrong. Pei Qing only had more than one year of farming farming, but he just caught the severe drought in Guanzhong. Even if you harvest some surplus grain, how much can you get? So now the possibility of a terrible grain in the army is extremely high. As for borrowing grain from Liu Yu, it is actually very simple, because Liu Yu has a close relationship with his lord after all. If he sends troops to Hanoi, he is afraid that the lord will be embarrassed to rob. Once he really robs it, the lord's alliance with his lord will be broken. By that time, we lost an ally, and Pei Qing got an ally, which is probably what he really hopes for."

"Well, Mr. Ye said it makes sense. In this way, Mr. Ye and you are worried about the situation. It is an indisputable fact that Pei Qing's military ration is about to be sold out. Because the letter he wrote to Liu Yu was clearly written. He could not joke with Liu Yu for such a thing, right? If this is true, when Liu Yu receives the letter, he will definitely lose his prestige and become a laughing stock in the world."

Yuan Shao himself insisted that the fact that Pei Qing was about to or had already run out of food was unchanged. Now the letter seized by Guo Tu confirmed Yuan Shao's judgment, so Yuan Shao believed that Ju Su's concerns were really unnecessary, but after all, he had to give Ju Su a step, so he said with a smile.

However, Ju Su did not go to the forefront, but insisted: "Lord, you must not be careless about this matter. Pei Qing must have a conspiracy behind it."

But Guo Tu sneered coldly: "My lord, you have to be careful of some people. They deliberately exaggerate and exaggerate to attract people's attention. The more polite people like this, the more arrogant and domineering they will be. I don't know how many taels of food they can eat. As for whether it will delay your major affairs in the future, they don't care at all. Even the officials are wondering whether someone had bad intentions to rescue his lord."

Yuan Shao shouted dissatisfiedly when he heard this: "Mr., don't talk anymore. I believe Mr. Gong is good in his original intention, but he has made a mistake in his judgment of Pei Qing's son. This is mainly because you overestimate Pei Qing's son. In fact, he is not as powerful as we imagined. He is short of food and actually wants to borrow food from Liu Yu. This is simply a desperate illness and seeking medical treatment. Don't he know that Liu Yu and I are an alliance? This person is so unwise, it shows that he is just a short-sighted person, and it is not worth worrying about."

Then Yuan Shao did not listen to Ju Su's advice and decided to attack Pei Qing in a few days. He believed that Pei Qing would suffer from external troubles at that time, and would definitely fail in internal and external troubles.

Ju Su failed to persuade him, so he had to leave in a bad mood. When he left the camp, he sighed to the sky: "Pei Qing is not as easy as he imagined. If the lord takes it so lightly, I am afraid that all of us will become Pei Qing's prisoners in the future!"

After hearing about this, Guo Tu immediately told Yuan Shao the words of Ju Su. After Yuan Shao heard about it, he was secretly angry and began to alienate Ju Su.

However, Guo Tu regained Yuan Shao's trust through this. He was secretly proud of himself. After some painstaking planning, he finally successfully persuaded his lord to alienate Ju Su and rebuild his trust in himself.
