The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

On the official road, hundreds of thousands of Taiping thieves are advancing rapidly, and in front of them is Yecheng, the last fortress of Jizhou, as long as the fortress is broken, it is the moment when the victory or defeat is decided.

On the frame, Xiao Lan looked at the battle report that had just been delivered to him, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay, very good, good Xu Sheng, good Deng Ai, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang and Ju Yi in a vain attempt to concentrate superior forces and defeat our army one by one, but unfortunately this good strategy has been punctured!" ”

"Oh?" Next to him, Xi Zhicai, who accompanied him, couldn't help but ask with a little smile: "Ju Yi Yan Liang is the most powerful general under Yuan Shao, lord, what is the situation on the unknown front?" ”

"Two days ago, Ju Yi acted in a strategy to attack the east and west, clearly letting Yan Liang challenge the evil in front of the battle, but he sent people to attack the vanguard camp of our army from the rear, but he never thought that Xu Sheng and Deng Ai saw through it, and set up an ambush in advance, so that it was defeated!" Xiao Lan said with a smile: "Yesterday, there was another big battle between the two armies in front of the battle, Yan Liang was seriously injured and captured, Ju Yi was defeated, and Xu Sheng was trapped in a valley. ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said in a loud voice: "Yecheng has a total of only more than 100,000 defenders, and now it has taken three out of ten, but it is the best news for my Taiping army. ”

Jiang Gan asked: "Lord, although Ju Yi is only a remnant army, it should not be underestimated, do you want to send someone to increase General Xu Sheng?" ”

"No, you don't." Xiao Lan said indifferently: "With the ability of Xu Sheng and Deng Ai and the combat power of evil, although Ju Yi is extraordinary, since he is trapped, he can't make any big waves, and the first thing we need at present is to take Yecheng!" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance recognized by the princes of the world in the past. After defeating him, he was the fourth and third duke of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was left with only the last little emperor, and I don't know how he is doing now under Cao Cao in Taiyuan, Bingzhou? ”

"Yuan Shao dedicated the emperor, but there are dry bones in the mound, and it is Cao Cao who is qualified to be the last opponent of the commander." Xiao Lan spoke. The corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer of disdain, to this day, the matter of Jizhou is a foregone conclusion, and Yuan Shao, who is the former lord of Jizhou, is still nesting in Yecheng at this moment, without any claim, such a person, if it is not the advantage of the innate family. What qualifications do you have to be your opponent?!

In Yecheng, in the meeting hall, Xu You, Feng Ji and the others frowned, and the judge couldn't help but ask out loud: "The Taiping Army has arrived one after another, what is Yan Liang doing?" ”

At the beginning, they let Yan Liang and Ju Yi lead the army to the expedition, but they wanted to concentrate superior forces, and all the Taiping troops that were attacking one by one were defeated, but. Now the Taiping army is really coming in one by one, and they will soon gather in one place. But they didn't see the battle report of Yan Liang's army coming back, so how could they not be anxious. If it is said that Yan Liang is brave and unplanned, but there is still a number one general like Ju Yi in the army, how can he be defeated so easily?

If they knew, outside of Yecheng, Yan Liang was fighting Dian Wei because he was full of strength. So much so that Ju Yi could only rely on the limited force in his hand to attack the west, but if he suffered a big defeat, I don't know if he would vomit three liters of blood? It's a pity that now Yan Liang is defeated and captured, and Ju Yi is trapped. No one sent the battle report back to Yecheng.

"The stakes are very high, we should go to the lord immediately and explain the reason!" Although I don't know what happened to Yan Liang's army, Feng Ji and the others have a bad premonition in their hearts.

After all, it is a matter of one's own survival, and there is no need to ask three or four times, but although Yuan Shao came out, he had a sad face, how could he still have the slightest bit of a heroic overlord posture?

"Lord, something is wrong!" As soon as he spoke, Tian Feng's words were full of worry.

"Oh?" For these Wenchen strategists under his command who could not help him solve the problem, as soon as he opened his mouth, he made such alarmist words, which made Yuan Shaoyu can't help but flash a wisp of gloom, and his heart is a little unhappy, but he also knows that now that the Taiping thief army is pressing, Jizhou is the time to use people, so he still suppressed this emotion very well, and asked indifferently: "What's the matter?" ”

Keenly aware of a trace of dissatisfaction in Yuan Shao's words, Tian Feng raised his head, looked at Yuan Shao with some doubts, and then dispelled the doubts in his heart. ”

"What?!" When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, Yan Liang was one of the top two generals around him, plus 50,000 troops, once lost, it was almost a fatal blow to Yecheng.

He said in a deep voice: "Now that the Taiping thieves are strongly pressuring the situation, it is imperative that we think about the way out first. ”

"A way out?" Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhu coldly, and said coldly: "Joke, this is Yecheng, the last fortress of Jizhou, if you let me retreat, where else can I retreat?" Moreover, if we lose Jizhou, won't we make the world laugh at us, and where will we put the name of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family? ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be very anxious in his heart, when is this coming, and what will be the name of the fourth world and the third prince, his life will be gone, what is the use of keeping a big reputation? But he didn't say this after all, he was not Tian Feng after all, he knew that Yuan Shao was on the bar with him, and he blindly persuaded him.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Yuan Shao heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but be furious: "Presumptuous, presumptuous!" Who dares to make a noise here? ”

"Report-" accompanied by an urgent report, but seeing a guard rushing in with a panicked face, half-kneeling on the ground, and saying urgently: "Lord, the big thing is not good, our army's grain road has been cut off by the Taiping thieves, and there is not much grain and grass left in the city!" ”

"What?!" This time, Yuan Shao really couldn't sit still, the Jizhou official army was defeated repeatedly, and the morale was almost gone, if there was no food and grass, it would be even worse, and it would definitely be a fatal blow to Yuan Shao, who was already scorched inside and outside at this moment.

Finished! Not only Yuan Shao, but all the Wenchen strategists present couldn't help but be dizzy for a while, I have to say that this hand of the Taiping Army is too ruthless and desperate, almost hitting their fatal point with one blow, they are sure that this news should have already spread to the ears of the defenders of Yecheng at this moment, even if they know the news, it has no meaning.

"It's over, it's over!" Sitting on the ground, Yuan Shao's eyes were distracted, and even the guards came to report, the defenders in the city were in turmoil, and a large number of routs fled, although General Wen Chou and others tried their best to restrain them, but the whole army mutinied, even if there was peerless bravery, it was difficult to turn the tide.

When Xiao Lan led an army of more than 200,000 to approach Yecheng, Yecheng, which should have been impregnable, had already opened its four gates, and it was clearly visible that a large number of routed troops were rushing out of the city.

"Inform the whole army, don't rush to attack the city first, and order all departments to control the rout of Yecheng according to their respective positions." Xiao Lan spoke in a deep voice, between his words, there was an indescribable majesty, these routs with the demise of Yuan Shao, may become outcasts, but it is more likely that they occupy the mountains as kings and disasters in the township, and now Jizhou is about to become his own territory, he naturally does not want the people under his command to suffer such a disaster of pond fish!

The army of more than 100,000 people completely mutinied and dispersed in a short period of time, Yuan Shao looked at the chaos in front of him with distraction, as well as the uncontrolled chaos army, and now, there are only three or five thousand people left around him, but even if most of these people are his henchmen, the personnel are also decreasing sharply.

Yuan Shao never thought that after his fourth and third dukes, the princes and alliance lords would end their lives with such a miserable appearance when their lives were about to reach their peak.

"Lord, the general trend has gone, let's take advantage of the chaos to break through!" Tian Feng, Feng Ji and others hurriedly came to Yuan Shao's side, looked at Yuan Shao with dull eyes, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him, in the current situation, Jizhou can't stay any longer, otherwise, under the soldiers of the Taiping Army, how can they have a way to live?
