CHAPTER IX

Previous Chapter

"What the hell is this Yuan Yao'er doing!" Kuai Yue's heart was uneasy, that is, Liu Pan was not as arrogant as before, he was no longer thinking about defeating Yuan Yao, and now Liu Pan was thinking about whether he could block Yuan Yao's army from Xinye.

Although Wen Ping did not directly fight with Yuan Yaojun, he did not dare to underestimate Yuan Yaojun.

"Why don't we take the initiative to send a soldier and horse to spy on it!" Kuaiyue said such a suggestion.

"Such a good errand, my subordinates can't afford it!" Liu Pan directly sneered and vetoed, this is not an espionage at all but a death, Yuan Yaojun has already forced Xinye outside the city, and now sending troops to spy is not sent to death, who would be willing to go.

If he, Liu Pan, gave this order, the army's morale would be turbulent. "Why don't you ask Lord Kuai Yue to go on a trip to Yuan Yao's camp and spy under the guise of peace?"

"You!" Kuai Yue jumped up angrily, his subordinates are afraid of death, is he not afraid of death, even if Kuai Yue believes that Yuan Yao Xiaoer will not kill him, but the house arrest is certain at that time, even if he comes back to Jingzhou, it will inevitably be suspicious of the lord Liu Biao.

"Okay, don't argue, you two are right, Yuan Yao'er can't be taken lightly, since you don't want to let me, I'll send someone to take it forward!" Wen Ping sighed, and he didn't want to offend either of the two people, so he could only send someone to go by himself.

Wen Ping's subordinates finally managed to get together two hundred cavalry and sent them to the city, and when they came back at night, there were only eight cavalry left, all of whom were wounded, but they also brought back the news that Yuan Yao'er's camp had long been empty.

"Yuan Yao, Xiao'er, this is trying to attack the west!"

"Yuan Yao'er is really not a waste of fame~!" Even the enemy Wen Ping couldn't help but sigh, he didn't notice Kuai Yue's eyes rolling.

……

Yuan Shang and Yuan Sangongzi seem to have entered a curse from the beginning, that is, the war has basically never been won, whether it is a war with Yuan Yao at the beginning or a war with his eldest brother Yuan Tan later, it is simply declining to the extreme, no matter how Yuan Yao weakens Yuan Tan Yuan Shang is still not his eldest brother's opponent.

It's no wonder, after all, when Yuan Shao was there, Yuan Shang liked Yuan Shao even more, and put more attention on the infighting, how could he learn the ability to fight, and although Yuan Tan over there was also a second-rate general, he had also fought in the Hebei army, and he also had experience in fighting Gongsun Zhan, so Yuan Shang was defeated and retreated.

Yuan Shang had no choice but to send someone to find Yuan Yao'er for help.

"Great, great! My virtuous brother really still remembers me as an elder brother! "Yuan Shang was excited when he first received Yuan Yao'er's letter, because Yuan Yao'er wrote at the beginning of the letter that he was going to come to rescue Yuan Shang in Hebei, but when Yuan Shang finished reading the letter, he was immediately dumbfounded, because it was clearly written that Yuan Yao'er's soldiers and horses were being transferred were Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, isn't this a joke?

How far away this Jingzhou is from here, he Yuan Shang doesn't know, if you come to the rescue, just transfer the nearby soldiers and horses.

"Yuan Yao, Xiao'er, you deceive people too much, what about your soldiers and horses in Hanoi, what about your army in Yanzhou, what about your soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, what about your soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, you just sent me an army far away in Jingzhou!" Yuan Shang is about to jump to death, this Yuan Yao is completely teasing him Yuan Shang to play.

"Come on, drag Yuan Yao'er's messenger out and cut it for me!" Yuan Shang said angrily.

"I can't help it, my lord!" As soon as the judge heard Yuan Shang's words, he was frightened on the spot, if Yuan Yao's envoy was cut down, Yuan Shangjun would really be finished.

This side has been persecuted by Yuan Tan to this extent, and you still want to offend a Yuan Yao child, aren't you looking for death?

"This Yuan Yao Xiao'er is just watching my jokes at all, even if I Yuan Shang dies, I won't let him Yuan Yao Xiao'er have a good time!" Yuan Shang said viciously.

"Lord, this Yuan Yao Xiao'er's main force is in Jingzhou, and the soldiers and horses he left in Hebei are all second-line garrisons, even if he comes, there is no way to take Yuan Tanjun, even if Yuan Yao'er doesn't come to rescue us, our army doesn't need to offend Yuan Yao'er, in other words, as long as we spread this letter, we can boost morale and even give Yuan Tanjun a blow!" The judge persuaded Yuan Shang bitterly.

"Humph!" Yuan Shang snorted coldly, "This Yuan Yao can't be counted on, I think our army should give up Beiping!" Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Tanjun besieging the city outside, and he was also timid in his heart, he and Yuan Tan were already mortal enemies, once the city was broken, he would definitely die, it was better to retreat to Nanpi and run to Liaodong, where Yuan Tan would definitely not be able to chase and kill.

"My lord, our army has retreated again and again, if Beiping is also lost, our army can only hunt in Liaodong for a living!" The judge glanced at Yuan Shang over there, this Jizhou lost most of Youzhou, this lord didn't want to defend the city but wanted to escape, didn't he bury the foundation? Beiping is gone, how can some of the small cities behind be able to stop Yuan Tan's army, and even those small cities have a problem even feeding their own subordinates.

"What can I do! Gongsun Chan is an example, I can't be trapped here! Yuan Shang said to the trial pulse source.

"Lord, it's not that our army can't hold Beiping!" The trial said to Yuan Shang dissuasively.

"How to keep it, what to keep it?" Yuan Shang still has no confidence.

"Lord, didn't Yuan Yao'er agree to send troops on this letter?" The interrogator over there said to Yuan Shang.

"It is better to believe that Yuan Yao Xiao'er will take the initiative to withdraw his troops than to believe that Yuan Tan will take the initiative to withdraw his troops!" Yuan Shang said coldly.

"Even if Yuan Yao'er doesn't come, our army has a way!"

"What's the solution?"

"Lord, although this Yuan Tan Xiao'er has come all the way to my Beiping City, Yuan Tan has forgotten the most critical point! That is, his food and grass supply is running out! Yuan Shang said analytically, "My lord, the minister has already noticed that every time Yuan Tan takes a city, he will inevitably loot the grain and grass in the city." ”

"Huh?" What is this? He, Yuan Shang, took the city and also looted the grain, grass and ordnance in the city.

"My lord, this Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses are also more and more!" The judge continued.

"Do you mean that I'm not strict with the army?" An important reason why Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses are fighting more and more is that Yuan Shang's subordinates surrendered in the past, isn't this matter a slap in Yuan Shang's face?

"Lord, the minister didn't mean that, what the minister wanted to say was that the more Yuan Tan penetrated into my Youzhou, the more difficult it was for him to supply on the front, plus now his soldiers and horses were twice as many as before, and the pressure on grain and grass was even greater, and now he was scavenging grain and grass because there was not much grain and grass in the army." After the judge finished speaking, Yuan Shang over there immediately nodded.

"Mr. Judge means that I want to send someone to attack Yuan Tan Pifu's grain and grass?" Yuan Shang remembered that his father was defeated by Cao Cao in this way, this strategy is feasible.

The trial match simply widened his eyes and opened his mouth to look at his father-in-law in disbelief, big brother, if you want to sneak attack the grain and grass, you have to have the strength to go, the current Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses are double their own, and their combat effectiveness and morale are also double their own, if it weren't for the fact that Beiping City would have finished a long time ago, wouldn't it be better to go out of the city to sneak attack the grain road now to deliver food, his lord is really a military idiot.

Of course, these words will not be said, and the trial will pause to take back his surprise, but continue to speak bitterly to Yuan Shang.

"If the lord wants to make Yuan Tan Pifu not have enough grain and grass, he doesn't have to harass his grain road, our army can be like this!" The judge told Yuan Shang his thoughts and listened.

The more Yuan Shang listened, the more excited he became: "So it's the best!" Yuan Shang immediately ordered all the people in the city to be driven out of the city, and at the same time sent soldiers and horses to clear the wilderness, the suggestion of the trial is to throw the people in the city Yuan Tan, now Yuan Tan has a lot of Yuan Shang soldiers in his hands, Yuan Shang selected these individuals and sent them out of the city, if Yuan Tan kills them, then Yuan Tan's soldiers can immediately rebel, and the remaining subordinates of Yuan Shang in the city will also be identified to stay in Beiping, if Yuan Tan does not kill, then these tens of thousands of people will eat and drink Yuan Tan will have a good pot.

The most critical thing that made Yuan Shang willing to use the plan of trial was because Yuan Shang also grasped the last straw, that is, he still had a trace of faith that Yuan Yao would come back to save him.
