Chapter 69: Yuan Shao's Strange Path
With Qinghe County being controlled by Zhang Yan.
The original stalemate in Jizhou was solved in an instant.
The princes from all walks of life began a fierce attack on Yuan Shao's army, and LΓΌ Bu attacked Yuan Shao's stronghold Guangping County from Hejian City.
It doesn't take ten days, Jizhou must be.
As for Yuan Shu in Huainan, it should also be determined in the near future, and in the face of the siege of various princes, the Yuan family will not be able to compete even if it is the first clan.
Quang Binh County.
"Newspaper. β
"My lord, it's not good. β
"The Yellow Turban thief Zhang Yan has already surrendered to the imperial court, and now they have led the army to capture Qinghe County, General Chun Yuqiong was killed, Lu Bu led a large army across the Qinghe River, and now he is coming directly to Guangping with the Yellow Turban Army. β
When the news came that the Yellow Turban had captured Qinghe and killed the guards, Yuan Shao sat down completely in his chair and looked blank.
"It's over. β
"Qinghe County is the throat of my Jizhou, and the east and west into the county must pass through the Qinghe, at this time the Yellow Turban captured the Qinghe, and our army has been divided by the imperial court. Yuan Shao said with a blank face.
"Lord, it was Guo Tu's self-righteousness that caused this situation, and his subordinates had long expected that the yellow turban was attached to the imperial court. Xu You stood up at this time and fell into the stone road.
"Guo Tu, you mistook me for a big deal. Yuan Shao roared angrily.
"The lord is angry, and his subordinates... The subordinates were wrong, and they never thought that the Yellow Turban would surrender to the court. Guo Tu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, terrified.
"Come on, drag Guo Tu down and beat him with a cane for forty to set an example. Yuan Shao said angrily.
"No. Several soldiers rushed forward and immediately pulled Guo Tu down, and after a while, Guo Tu's screams were heard.
"Ziyuan, what should I do now?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You with a pleading face, and there was a deep remorse in his heart, if he had listened to Xu You's words before, it would not be the current situation.
"Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and their soldiers and horses are already close to Guangping, it doesn't take an hour to arrive, it's too late to evacuate now, and I only have 30,000 soldiers and horses in Guangping, I must immediately send an order to Yan Liang, Wen Chou and several generals to come back to help, so that they can fight to the death with the imperial court. Xu You thought for a while and said very seriously.
"Good. β
"Immediately send an order to Yan Liang and them to return to the army for reinforcements immediately. Yuan Shao now knows the value of Xu Yu and agrees.
As everyone knows.
Xu You's strategy was seen thoroughly by Jia Xu, and when he was Yuan Shao who ordered him to come back, he beat the water dog.
"Defeated, everything lost. β
"When today's son is not a mortal, he has already expected everything, and I should think about the way back. Xu You could naturally see that Yuan Shao's defeat was decided, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Then.
"Newspaper. β
"Lu Bu, Zhang Yan's army has arrived, surrounded my Guangping County, and is now calling for battle outside the city, please give the lord an order on how to deal with it. The herald hurried to proclaim.
"Faster than expected, they have already surrounded Quang Binh. Xu You's expression froze, very uneasy.
Compared with strategy, he lost to the major strategists under Liu Xie, and compared to the strength, the current imperial army is absolutely controlled, and there will be no loss.
Today's battle will be the battle of Jizhou.
Yuan Shao's soldiers were only 30,000, and Yan Liang, who was sent abroad, could not return to help in a short time, and once they returned, the result was that they were swallowed up by Zhang Liao and Liu Dai's army.
"Don't panic, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, enough to support it for a while. Yuan Shao worked hard to maintain the confidence of his subordinates.
"Lord, the city sergeants are all looking to your horse, each of them has private soldiers, and his subordinates suggest that the lord recruit the private soldiers under their command to expand the troops, so that they have the opportunity to insist on the return of the army. Xu Yu suggested.
"Yes, yes, yes. β
"The Hebei scholars are all the officials of my Yuan family, and they dare not disobey the words of the Benzhou pastor, and pass on the order of the Benzhou pastor, so that the scholars will transfer their private soldiers out and reinforce the city defense. Yuan Shao said immediately.
From this point of view.
I know the power of the scholars in this era, each family has hidden private soldiers, even if the court wants to manage it, but knowing the strength of the scholars, they don't dare to do it easily, because the price of the rebound is too great.
"The soldiers and horses in the city should be able to recruit 20,000, and we will have 50,000 troops to defend the city, which is more secure. Xu You said.
"If you can insist on reinforcements this time, Ziyuan, you are the first army division under my command, and you are above 10,000 people under one person. Yuan Shao also saw Xu You's value and said loudly.
"Thank you, Lord. Xu Yu thanked him.
"Let's go, follow the Honshu Mushang Chengguan to fight. Yuan Shao said loudly, and then walked towards Guangping Chengguan with his subordinates.
Outside the city.
There is a large army.
80,000 soldiers of the gluttonous army under Lu Bu, and 100,000 yellow turban soldiers under Zhang Yan.
A total of 180,000 troops have surrounded Guangping City, not to mention that Yan Liang and they can't go back, even if they do, the result is just one word, death.
Approaching the final battle, Lu Bu stood in front of the city, staring coldly at the city pass, and when he saw the crowd of people on the city pass, he knew that Yuan Shao was coming.
"Traitor Yuan Shao, now that you have been surrounded, you will surrender at the point of acquaintance, otherwise your Yuan family will be slaughtered. Lu Bu held the Fang Tian painting halberd, pointed at Yuan Shao on the city gate and shouted.
"There is no need to say more about the words of the traitor, the virtuous people in the world live in it, and in all dynasties, which founding emperor is not a thief?"
"If today's son is young and the princes are in turmoil, the herd of Benzhou is the head of the Yuan family, with a noble status, and he will rise up in time for the day to set things right. Yuan Shao said shamelessly.
"You don't cherish the opportunity to give your Yuan family to stay, even so, then Ben will tell you that when the city is broken, your Yuan family will be slaughtered, no matter women and children, old and young. Lu Bu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly.
"If you have the ability, let the horse come, Benzhou Mu is not afraid of you. Yuan Shao tried to boost morale.
"Okay, then the battle will be decided. Lu Bu finally said a word, no more words, and rode back to his own position.
"General Lu, hand over the siege to us later, the Yellow Turbans were guilty of great crimes in the past, and the cholera man, today my Yellow Turbans have been forgiven by the Son of Heaven, and I will be guilty of it. Zhang Yan said with a fist at Lu Bu.
"General Zhang has a heart, but when the city is attacked, let me come with gluttonous soldiers, you have already made a miraculous achievement by capturing Qinghe, but you don't have to lose your life anymore. Lu Bu politely rejected Zhang Yan.
"This...."Hearing this, Zhang Yan was a little moved.
Originally, he thought that after the successful annexation, even if the imperial court forgave the millions of yellow turbans, they would be used as cannon fodder, but now it looks like that is not the case at all.
Today, I didn't plan to use them as cannon fodder, let alone unload the mill and kill the donkey.
"The grace of the Son of Heaven, my yellow scarf will not be repaid for a hundred years. Zhang Yan secretly thought in her heart, full of gratitude.
