Chapter 817 [Flooding]
After listening to Wen Chou's insinuating words, Yuan Xi immediately understood, and hurriedly asked, "Then in the general's opinion, how should I do it?" ”
Wen Chou suddenly laughed, raised his hands and slapped it twice.
After the two "pop" sounds, several people came out from behind the screen in the room, all of them were wearing armor, and when they saw Yuan Xi, they all bowed their hands together and said: "The last general has seen the second son!" ”
After Yuan Xi looked at them one by one, none of these generals he was not familiar with, they were Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Qi, Jiang Ji, Jiang Yiqu, and Chun Yudao, plus Zhang Nan, who was seated in the house at the beginning, and the seven generals could be said to be the most famous generals of the Zhao army. As soon as he saw this formation, he hurriedly said to Wen Chou: "You ...... What are you trying to do here? ”
Seeing that Yuan Xi was very nervous, Wen Chou stood up and said with a kind smile: "The second son can rest assured, one is not trying to make money, and the other is not killing people, he is just discussing a major matter." ”
"What's the big deal?" Yuan Xi asked.
Everyone looked at each other, everyone's brows furrowed tightly, and then looked at Wen Chou together.
Wen Chou took a step in front of Yuan Xi, and asked respectfully and aloud: "Second Prince, if we serve the Second Son as the lord of Jizhou, and all of us obey the orders of the Second Prince, and then use Fu as the Minister of State and Military Division, I wonder if the Second Son is willing to lead us to repel the enemy army and recover Jizhou?" ”
Yuan Xi never dreamed that this kind of thing would happen, Wen Chou, the number one general under his father's account, actually led the generals to serve him as the master, and he didn't react for a while. was stunned, the expression on his face was very stiff, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Wen Chou saw that Yuan Xi was stunned there. Then he said: "Second son, I know that this happened suddenly, but we have already discussed with each other, the lord is no longer the ambitious lord he used to be, although the battle of Julu has suffered a lot of losses to our army, but the lord is addicted to wine all day long, and he will leave everything to the judge and Guo Tu to deal with." Judging and matching and Guo Tu compete for power and profit with each other, they are not people who focus on the overall situation. Tonight, the North Gate guard Ju Yi died in battle, and it has a direct relationship with the trial. We all feel that if we let the trial match and Guo Tu continue to be in power like this, I am afraid that there will be no place to die in the future. Yuan Shang is young and ignorant, although Yuan Tan is fierce, he does not know how to sympathize with his subordinates. We all think about it. Only the second son can take over the position of the lord. ”
"You want to serve me as Lord, but how should you put it aside from your father?" Yuan Xi's heart had gradually had a ripple, and he immediately asked.
Wen Chou said: "It's very simple, the only way is to force the lord to abdicate and give up the position to the second son, so that the second son will not have to be sandwiched between the two brothers." ”
Yuan Xi is outstanding in terms of character, appearance, wisdom and strategy, and courage among Yuan Shao's three sons. Although Yuan Shao didn't want to see this son, he and Yuan Shao's civil and military forces did not move around less. may be because he will never be able to get Yuan Shao's care. So he doesn't have the frame of a son-in-law, as long as it is a friend he wants to make, he will treat it sincerely, so he has a good connection, and civil and military officials also have a good reputation for him.
Seeing that Yuan Xi was silent, Wen Chou hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Yan Liang is my brother, Han Meng is also my best friend, and now the army of the whole city is in our hands, as long as the second prince nods, we will immediately arrest and judge Guo Tu, kill him, and go with the second prince to force the lord to abdicate and make way for Xian, and serve the second prince as the master." ”
"I am willing to serve the second son, please don't shirk the second son!" Everyone said in unison.
Yuan Xi now felt like he was chasing ducks to the shelves, and when he saw that Wen Chou and the others were sincere, he asked, "General Wen, is there really nothing going on?" ”
Wen Chou said: "Second son, please rest assured, one qiē is all in my control, Guo Tu and the trial match can be captured in a moment, the lord is still having fun in the palace, and the guards are all in charge of Ma Yan, as long as the second prince arrives, Ma Yan will immediately surround the place where the lord is located." In this way, not only can Fu Zhi be saved, but Yecheng can also have a new atmosphere. The second son has a good reputation in the city, and in the name of the second son, I believe that he will be loved by the army and the people, and it can also play a great role in inspiring the morale of the army. ”
After Yuan Xi heard this, he made up his mind and said loudly: "Okay, it's decided, I am willing to become the lord of Jizhou!" ”
Wen Chou and the others saw that Yuan Xi agreed, so they bowed together: "I'll wait to see the lord!" ”
Yuan Xi directly put on the shelf that the lord should have, looked around at Wen Chou and the others, and said loudly: "Since you serve me as the master, you must obey my orders." General Wen, let me ask you, are all the soldiers and generals in the city firmly in their hands? ”
Wen Chou saw that Yuan Xi's body suddenly appeared heroic, and secretly praised it in his heart, and then replied: "Lord Qiqi, the 83,600 soldiers in the city, and the 578 generals and generals, as long as I wait for an order, I am willing to obey the orders of the lord." ”
Yuan Xi said: "Very good, then I, as the lord, will issue a few orders to you now, you must complete it quickly, at this time there are still two or three hours before dawn, I want you to completely clean up the trial and Guo Tu's henchmen in the city within an hour." ”
Wen Chou saw that Yuan Xi's domineering appearance was exposed, and he was not as feminine as he looked on the surface, and there was a burst of joy in his heart: "Yuan Xi is heroic, quite ambitious as the old lord back then, it seems that I, Wen Chou, have chosen the right person this time." Instead of waiting for the trial and Guo Tu to get the power, it is better to take power yourself, as the first general under the old lord's account, the trial and Guo Tu still speak badly from time to time, today I want these two people to return all the money with interest! ”
Yuan Xi paused and continued: "Chun Yudao, I will appoint you as the Taishou of Julu now, take over the position of your brother Chun Yuqiong, and you will lead your relatives to the prison in a while, and bring the frustration out of the prison and go directly to the Zhaohou Mansion in the main mansion." ”
Chun Yudao was grateful to Yuan Xi for a while, his brother Chun Yuqiong died in Gall Tao City, Yuan Shao didn't even ask, and he was not reused, he had long been resentful of Yuan Shao, at this time Lao Tzu abdicated and replaced his son to come to power. Although he knew that this was his son who was winning people's hearts, he was still willing to obey Yuan Xi's orders, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "No! ”
Yuan Xi then commanded again: "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang." Each of you will bring 500 people to surround the mansion, and not a single one of the old or young of the family will be left. ”
Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang said in unison: "No! ”
"Jiang Qi, Jiang Ji, you two each bring five hundred people to surround Guo Tu's mansion, and all the cadres will be killed, and you can't let go of a single living mouth."
Jiang Qi and Jiang Ji said in unison: "Obey!" ”
"Zhang Nan and Jiang Yiqu, you two will each take 500 people to search for the henchmen of the trial and Guo Tu in the whole city, and they will all be put in prison after they are caught. He was punished as a collaborator. ”
Zhang Nan and Jiang Yiqu clasped their fists and said, "Yes, lord!" ”
Wen Chou stood aside and heard Yuan Xi make these commands. Deng Shi felt that Yuan Xi was quite heroic, and the things he ordered were all in order and very clear, and he did not have Yuan Shao's kindness as a woman. The most important thing is that Yuan Xi has just accepted the visit of the generals. immediately understood the identity of his lord. Giving orders is also orderly, and it seems that what to do and what not to do seems to have already been calculated, and this rapid change of thinking makes him admire.
"Wen Chou!" Yuan Xilang shouted.
"In!" Wen Chou replied with a fist.
Yuan Xi said: "The Jin army is the army of tigers and wolves, and Lu Bu is even more unstoppable, first stationed outside the West Gate, and please guard it properly, and leave the affairs in the city to me to do a good job." Please send someone to inform Han Meng and Yan Liang, and let them guard the city gate. Don't think of the turmoil in the city. In addition, please follow me with your confidants, I will enter the mansion to see my father, and when I see Ma Yan, he will be able to know my identity. ”
Wen Chou felt that Yuan Xi was very organized, and he couldn't believe that this series of things came from the mouth of a person who was only fifteen years old, which made him, a general who fought on the battlefield, feel a little embarrassed. He nodded and shouted out the door, "Zhang Yi! ”
A man in armor outside the door pushed the door in, burly and strong, with thick eyebrows, and directly hugged his fists and said: "What does the general command!" ”
Wen Chou said: "You accompany the lord to the Hou Mansion and see Ma Yan, you should know what to do after that?" ”
Zhang Yi said: "The last general understands! ”
Yuan Xi said: "Okay, without further ado, let's act now!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Xi walked straight out of the door, and Zhang Yi followed closely.
As soon as Yuan Xi walked out of the room, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Qi, Jiang Ji, Jiang Yiqu, Zhang Nan, and Chun Yudao all surrounded Wen Chou and said in unison: "General, do you really want to listen to the orders of the second prince from now on?" ”
Wen Chou said: "What second son? It's the lord! From now on, he is our lord. The old lord has lost his ambition to dominate the world, and just because of the small setback of the battle of the giant deer, he collapsed, and I don't need to serve such a lord. Since you all agreed to choose Yuan Xi as the lord just now, then don't regret it, as long as you kill the trial and Guo Tu, we and other martial artists will have a place to turn over, and after rescuing Fu Zhu, with Fu Zhu's strategy, it will definitely help us get out of the predicament, and then take a counteroffensive, and the recovery of Jizhou is just around the corner. ”
After hearing this, the generals also strengthened their confidence and said in unison: "I will understand!" ”
Wen Chou said: "Okay, the trial and Guo Tu have always treated us soldiers very lightly, and this time it's time for them to taste our strength, and Yuan Xi does have the posture of a hero, as long as everyone works together to get through this crisis and then assist, he will definitely be able to become the hero of Hebei." Well, since the lord has already given us all orders, we should do so, go quickly, don't delay any longer, too late will change. ”
The crowd said: "No! ”
……
Zhaohou Mansion.
Yuan Xi came galloping with Zhang Yi on horseback, and after the soldiers guarding outside Zhao Hou's mansion saw it, they immediately went to inform Ma Yan.
Ma Yan walked out of the mansion, saw Zhang Yi following behind Yuan Xi, thought that the matter was roughly done, and without even saying a word, he immediately got out of the way, and only made a "please" gesture to Yuan Xi!
Yuan Xi saw that Ma Yan understood, so he rode his horse to Ma Yan's side and asked, "Where is my father?" ”
Ma Yan said: "I'm having fun in the palace!" ”
Although the Zhao Hou Mansion is said to be the Hou Mansion, but when it was built, it was built as a palace, Yuan Shao wanted to be the king when he was in high spirits, but he never dreamed that the king was not only called the king, but he was forced to abdicate by his son and many generals.
Yuan Shao was playing in the palace, and the musician was beating the sound of delight. The dancer writhed gracefully there, while he hugged him to the left and right, though there was wine in front of him. The beauty is in his arms, but his heart is still sullen, and he has been worried about the losses suffered in the Battle of Julu.
He smiled against his will, and as soon as he remembered that he had suffered heavy losses under the advantage, he felt a little afraid of Lin Nan's Yan army. took a sip of stuffy wine, and kissed the beauty in his arms by the way, and was chic and happy. saw Yuan Xi break in with Ma Yan, Zhang Yi and dozens of personal guards, and he was furious: "What are you doing here?" Get out of here! ”
A hint of murderous intent appeared on Yuan Xi's face, and when he remembered that the person sitting in front of him was the one who made his mother sad and depressed and died. And his heart was filled with anger. However, he strongly suppressed his anger, and he had not been cared for by Yuan Shao for many years, and he had already chosen to bear this qiē. He vowed to make a show to his father. He vowed to let his father see his accomplishments. Just today, Wen Chou gave him a good opportunity to understand that he didn't need to show anything to Yuan Shao, he just needed to be himself.
"Get out of here for irrelevant people!" Yuan Xi's face showed a hideousness that he had never seen before, although he had a deep hatred for this father who had been indifferent to him since he was three years old, but he also understood that he was now the lord of Jizhou, and there was no need to kill his father and seize power.
Musicians, dancers, slaves, and beauties saw this. They all ran out in a puff of smoke.
Yuan Shao said angrily: "Son! What are you doing? Mayen! Why don't you blast him out for me? ”
Ma Yan was indifferent, as Yuan Shao's personal guard. has followed Yuan Shao for so many years, but he has never received any decent benefits from Yuan Shao, and even if there are benefits, they are rewarded to the judge and Guo Tu. If it weren't for the Yan army and the Jin army joining forces to encircle Yecheng, he thought that Wen Chou would not have made this difficult decision, let alone join the plan proposed by Wen Chou. He snorted coldly and said, "I'm sorry, you are no longer my lord, my lord is standing in front of me." ”
Although Yuan Shao was slightly drunk, he could still hear the words, his eyes widened, he looked at Ma Yan, and then at his son Yuan Xi, and asked, "...... What did you just say? ”
Without waiting for Ma Yan to answer, Yuan Xi preemptively said: "It's too late to say anything now, you, the lord, have been deposed by the generals, and they all think that you are too incompetent, and now you have served me as the master." Father, this is the last time I call you. Your time has passed, now it's my turn Yuan Xi, don't worry, I won't kill you, I will let you see with your own eyes, how I, the son you have always thought to be the most unproductive, defeated the timid Yan army and the Jin army in your heart. ”
Yuan Shao's mind was blank, and he sat down on the ground with a confused eye, and his face was haggard due to being addicted to wine for many days. He looked at Yuan Xi and said to himself: "I was abolished......"
Yuan Xi said: "Take the old lord away, lock him in his dormitory, send him a few beauties, a few jars of wine, a few musicians, a few dancers, let him indulge in it every day, no one is allowed to come out without my order." ”
Ma Yan said: "No! ”
On the other hand, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals are quickly carrying out Yuan Xi's orders, surrounding all the mansions of the trial and Guo Tu, and then rushing in with the soldiers is a burst of slashing, no matter who it is, anyone who appears in the mansion of the two people will die. And the whole city also began to search for the trial and Guo Tuyu, and Chun Yudao also rescued the frustration who was imprisoned in the prison.
An hour later, all the generals gathered in the Zhao Hou Mansion, and when they saw Yuan Xi sitting in the position of the Hou Ye, they bowed in unison: "See the lord!" ”
Yuan Xi sat on the chair that represented power, feeling extraordinary, and the spirit of the whole person was also very good, and said to the generals: "No courtesy!" ”
At this time, Fu Zhu was led into the hall by Chun Yudao. Chun Yudao directly paid homage and said: "My lord, the Prime Minister brought it." ”
He was distressed in the cell, and he was struggling to ask if he had read his letter Yuan Shao, and when he was at a loss, he saw that Chun Yudao had arrived, saying that the lord wanted to let him out, so he happily followed Chun Yudao to Zhaohou's mansion. However, when he saw that it was not Yuan Shao who was sitting on the throne of the Hou Ye, but Yuan Xi, he had a trace of doubt in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What about the lord?" ”
Yuan Xi hurriedly walked down and went straight to Fu Zhi's side. took the hand of the frustrated professor and said very affectionately: "The Prime Minister has suffered, and I am the lord in their mouths." ”
Frustrated with surprise. Seeing that there were more than a dozen generals with heads and faces standing on both sides of the hall, Yuan Shaodian was no more than that, so he hurriedly asked, "Second son, lordship...... What about the lord? ”
Yuan Xi said: "The Prime Minister is dedicated to the public, but in the end he was persecuted by my father, what is the use of such a lord?" ”
"Ah......h Hurriedly asked, "You...... You killed the lord? ”
Yuan Xi shook his head and hurriedly helped Fu Zhi. Lang said: "I, Yuan Xi, am not so ruthless, no matter how I say it, he is also my father." Please rest assured, Prime Minister, I have only imprisoned him temporarily. He loved beautiful women, good wine, singing and dancing. I'll let him enjoy it to the fullest and spend his days there. ”
Frustrated Zhi's heart stabilized a little, and when he saw that all the generals were gathered, and the advisors such as Judge and Guo Tu were not here, he asked: "Then the judge match, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Xiao Ji and others have all ......?"
"There are only two people, Guo Tu, and the rest of them are all irrelevant, but Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Xiao Ji and others are frightened, and everyone is in danger. closed the door, for fear of being implicated by the trial and Guo Tu. So it didn't come. Now that I am the governor of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and I am the marquis of Zhao, then I have the right to reappoint you as the prime minister, and I hope that Mr. will not shirk. Yuan Xi got straight to the point.
Fu Zhi sighed heavily, he didn't need to ask, he could know who could have so much ability, who could gather all the generals, and only Wen Chou would be the one who put Yuan Xi on the throne, but he couldn't guess why Wen Chou did this.
"Your Excellency, now that the enemy is present, the Yan and Jin armies have stationed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses outside, and are digging deep ditches and building barriers, I don't know if the Prime Minister has any strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Yuan Xi asked very sincerely.
Since he was imprisoned, he has been taken care of by Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi is really good, and his reputation among the military and civilians is very good, he saw that the big thing was basically decided, so he sighed and said lightly: "That's it, no matter what, I'm doing things for the Yuan family, and the old lord's kindness to me, I'll report it to my son!" Lord, please bow down! ”
Yecheng has undergone a night of blood baptism, and the master in the city has also completely changed, from Yuan Shao to Yuan Xi, and all the civil and military people in the city were called to the hall of Zhaohou Mansion by Yuan Xi early.
Yuan Xi was wearing gold armor and a golden helmet at this time, and his slightly thin body just supported this heavy armor, sat on Zhao Hou's throne and looked around at the many civil and military forces who had just finished paying homage to him, raised his hand slightly, and said loudly: "All are exempt!" ”
Everyone stood up one after another, Wen Chen was headed by Fu Zhu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Xiao Ji, Chen Lin and others were ranked in the left column in turn, while the military generals were headed by Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Han Meng, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Ji, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Chun Yudao and others were in the right column.
It is not difficult to see from the order of civil and military arrangement alone that Yuan Xi and his old son Yuan Shao are completely opposite, Yuan Shao respects Wenchen, and every time he meets with a major event, Wenchen will be ranked in the right column, but Yuan Xi's decision this time is to let the military generals be ranked in the right column, which shows that he attaches great importance to Wen Chou, Yan Liang and others.
The Eastern Han Dynasty respected the right, Yuan Xi did this not only to thank Wen Chou and others for arching him to the throne, but also to see the importance of holding military power, so he deliberately won over the generals, and at the same time rewarded Wen Chou, he also rewarded the rest of the generals, he saw how much influence Wen Chou personally had, for fear that Wen Chou would use the same way to force him to abdicate again in the future.
"Now the Yan army has surrounded the east, south and north gates, and the west gate is surrounded by the Jin army, and the north gate guard Ju Yi was also killed last night, and even the drawbridge was destroyed by the enemy, and the north gate had to be guarded by heavy troops. Wen Chou, how do you think you should defend the north gate? Yuan Xi picked up the shelf of being the boss and asked loudly.
Wen Chou immediately came out and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, instead of strictly guarding the four gates and scattering the troops, it is better to water the city gate with molten iron, seal all the city gates, and leave only one city gate for strict defense, and the other three gates only need to be guarded with a small number of troops." The subordinates thought that the North Gate Suspension Bridge was destroyed, and the enemy army could use the suspension bridge to attack the North Gate at any time, and the east, south, and west gates were all intact, and there was a moat as a natural barrier, so they could completely pour molten iron to block the three gates, concentrate all their forces at the North Gate, and fight a decisive battle with the Yan army and the Jin army. ”
Yuan Xi closed his eyes gently. After thinking about it in his mind, when he opened his eyes again, he turned his head to look at him. He asked, "Prime Minister, what is your strategy?" ”
Although Fu Zhu became the minister of state, the era of Yuan Shao being in power as a minister of law has passed, and he, the minister of state, cannot manage military affairs, but can only handle government affairs, and is at best a strategist. However, he is selfless after all. He didn't care about this change of power, and immediately said: "General Wen is reasonable...... But...... In this way, it is easy for our army to get into a predicament. The strength of the Yan army is not trivial, and the Jin army is also the division of tigers and wolves, and the two armies join forces to attack the city, which is not suitable for going out of the city to face the battle. Only suitable for defending the city. Now the decisive battle. There will be too many troops lost, but if you mainly defend the city, with the unique city defense advantage of Yecheng, you will definitely be able to hold on for a year. ”
Yan Liang said: "But our army currently only has one year's grain and grass, and after holding on for a year, when the grain and grass are eaten up, we can only sit and wait for death." Rather than this, it is better to give it a go and lead the troops to fight their way out of the encirclement. Temporarily abandon Jizhou and move to Qingzhou. Rendezvous with Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou, the two armies joined forces in one place, and then fought for Jizhou. ”
Xin Ping has always been a peacemaker, but it was in front of Yuan Shao, because he was also very uncomfortable between the trial and Guo Tu, so he rarely offered advice to Yuan Shao, even if it was a suggestion, it would be rejected by the trial and Guo Tu. At this time, the trial and Guo Tu were dead, and there was nothing to do with him among the captured henchmen, Yuan Xi not only did not move him, but promoted him, and under gratitude, he stepped forward and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, General Yan Liang's words cannot be trusted, Yecheng is extremely strong and suitable for long-term defense." The Yan army is very strong in the field, and if our army is far away from the barrier and the Yan army fights a decisive battle in the field, it will be tantamount to asking for hardship, because many soldiers are frightened by the hoplites and iron floats of the Yan army. ”
"Iron Float? What Iron Float? Yuan Xi asked incomprehensibly.
Xin Ping hurriedly explained: "Oh, it's the cavalry of the Yan army with heavy armor all over their bodies, even the horses are covered in armor, each horse is tied to a spear, and the soldiers are holding long marks. ”
A trace of guilt appeared on Wen Chou's face, and as soon as he remembered the terrible nature of the Yan Army's Tiefutu during that battle, a trace of fear arose in his heart, because he had not been able to think of any good way to deal with Tiefutu until now.
The Yan army's chain horse formation became famous in the battle of Julu, and the five thousand heavy cavalry locked together harvested the heads of the Zhao soldiers at will, so that more than 9,000 Zhao soldiers died tragically under the iron hooves of the chain horse formation, which left a deep shadow on the Zhao soldiers who experienced this battle, and the Zhao soldiers did not know their names, so they shouted it as "Tiefutu".
After Yuan Xi listened, he also felt that what Yan Liang said was inappropriate. He also heard that Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were defeated by the Yan army in the Battle of Julu, so he nodded and said slowly: "The Yan army is strong in the field, so it's better not to fight lightly......"
"Lord, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, I am not talented, and I am willing to lead an army to meet the Yan army's Iron Floating Slaughter, I don't believe that this Iron Floating Slaughter can really be invincible." Yan Liang said unconvinced.
Yuan Xi ignored Yan Liang, but asked directly: "Please also ask the Minister of State to plan carefully, how to defend the city, it is all up to the Minister of State!" ”
Wen Chou also understands that the only person who can save Yecheng at this time is Frustration, although he does not admit that he is a puppet, but he is indeed far inferior to Frustration in terms of strategy. He saw that Yan Liang was about to get angry, so he stepped forward and grabbed Yan Liang's arm and shook his head at Yan Liang.
Yan Liang understood, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and retreated to the queue, where he blew his beard and stared.
Wen Chou arched his hand at Yuan Xi and said: "My lord, the last general is willing to hand over all the soldiers and horses to the command of the Prime Minister in order to tide over the current crisis!" ”
Yuan Xi also knew very well the importance of frustration, and even more clearly knew Wen Chou's intention to do this, which was a sacrifice made in order to defeat the enemy army, he didn't say anything more, slowly stood up, and said loudly to all the civil and military forces: "I will order now, the Minister of State will be appointed as a military advisor, and all the soldiers and horses in the city will be handed over to him for dispatch, including me, if anyone dares to disobey the orders of the military division, he will not be pardoned!" ”
Wenwu clasped his fists in unison and said: "No! ”
Frustrated and moved, thinking about it, although Yuan Shao also made him the minister of state, but the mobilization of soldiers and horses also requires Yuan Shao's military talisman, and Yuan Xi pinned all the soldiers and horses and the hope of the whole city on him with one mouth, and he suddenly felt that the difference between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao was in decision. He clenched his fists and said: "The subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the lord." Defend the city and swear to repel the enemy! ”
Yuan Xi walked to Frustrated's side and reached out to hold Frustrated's hand tightly. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of trust in him.
With tears in his eyes, he secretly said in his heart: "The old lord is scheming, in order to balance the interests of the generals and strategists under his account, he dispersed all the powers, and directly led to the intensification of the struggle for power and profit, so that the trial and Guo Tu dismantled each other. The young lord directly handed over the power to me alone. What else is there to say about this kind of trust in the old man, even if he dies, he will repay the kindness of the two generations of the Yuan family to me. ”
Come to think of it. Frustrated eyes turned to Wen Chou, and saw a strange smile appear on the corner of Wen Chou's mouth, that smile was fleeting, and he couldn't see what that smile represented for a while. But with his knowledge of Wen Chou. Wen Chou can lightly hand over all the military power, there must be some meaning. He also secretly paid attention to Wen Chou in his heart, and thought slowly: "Wen Chou first arched Yuan Xi to the throne, and then gave up the right to send troops, isn't the person I knew before who held the power in his hands Wen Chou?" Why did he laugh, why can't I see through that weirdness? Could it be that I am too worried, am I too suspicious? ”
I thought about it for a long time, but I never came up with a reason. I stopped thinking about it and wanted to see the essence of the matter. It's time to wait for things to come to their own. He bowed to Yuan Xi and said loudly: "Lord, my subordinates think that our army should first break the Jin army and then the Yan army. ”
After hearing this, Yuan Xi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Does the military advisor have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”
Fu Zhu nodded, and said: "Although the Jin army brought by Lu Bu is brave, they are all martial artists, as long as they use a little trick, they can thwart their sharp spirit, and Lu Bu's military division did not follow this time, but stayed in Handan to raise grain and grass, which gave our army a good opportunity." With Lu Bu's character, as long as he instigates it, he will be deceived. The lord can let Wen Chou and Yan Liang alone Lu Bu, the two of them are strong in martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, and unstoppable fierce generals, except for the two of them, no one else is competent. As long as Lu Bu is introduced into the Urn City, he can be killed. ”
Yuan Xi said: "Okay, the military advisor will tell everyone the detailed plan, how to arrange and arrange the troops is up to the military advisor alone, and there is no need to ask me again." ”
Fu Zhu nodded, and immediately told the generals about his plan, and then arranged it in an orderly manner, and finally asked, "Do you all understand?" ”
"Understood!" The crowd replied in unison.
Yuan Xi said: "Okay, let's start acting now, break Lu Bu as soon as possible, and solve the Yecheng crisis one day earlier." ”
"No!"
…………
The sky was already bright, and the three city gates outside Yecheng City were all deep ditches and high ramparts, and a barrier was formed overnight.
After Lin Nan rode a horse to inspect the three gates, he took Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping towards the West Gate, wanting to see how Lu Bu of the West Gate was digging.
But when he arrived at the West Gate, Lin Nan was dumbfounded, the outside of the West Gate was very smooth, there was no trace of excavation, and the soldiers of the Jin Army were also lazy in the camp. He was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Go, follow me to find Lu Bu, I want to know what the hell is going on!" ”
"No!"
Under the scorching sun, in the camp of the Jin army, Lu Bu's soldiers were standing there lazily, and when they saw Lin Nan arriving with a few personal horses, Cheng Lian, who was in charge of guarding the door, immediately greeted him.
"It turned out that Yan Hou arrived, and there was a loss of welcome, and there was a loss of welcome!" Cheng Lian looked kind and said respectfully to Lin Nan.
Lin Nan turned over and dismounted, glanced at the empty barracks, and there were very few soldiers in the entire barracks, so he asked, "What about the Marquis of Jin?" ”
Cheng Lian said: "Oh, my lord went hunting in the nearby mountains, and left before dawn, and it is estimated that he will not come back until night?" ”
"Hit ...... Hunt? Lin Nan was taken aback, "At this time, he still has the heart to hunt?" ”
Cheng Lian nodded and said: "Yan Hou may not know our lord, as long as my lord-in-law wants to conquer the place, there is no place that cannot be attacked, this is called attacking must be taken, and the battle must be defeated, so before the day before the battle, my lord-in-law will go hunting to relax, and then he can devote himself to the battle." ”
Lin Nan heard Cheng Lian speak like this, only felt that Lu Bu was a wild person, he saw that the whole camp was empty, he re-climbed on horseback, raised his horsewhip and pointed in the direction of Yecheng and said loudly: "General Cheng, if your lord wants to return, please tell him, just say that I, Lin Nan, asked him to settle the account, and also, this Yecheng is your Jin army, if you don't show some sincerity, my Yan army will have to withdraw the siege and attack Qingzhou." ”
Cheng Lian still said with a smile on his face: "Please rest assured Yanhou, I will definitely tell my lord." ”
Lin Nan turned his horse's head and sighed heavily when he saw the soldiers of the Zhao Army standing on the wall of the West Gate.
On the way back, Wen Ping came to Lin Nan with a chiseled gold tiger head gun, and said softly: "Lord, what does Lu Bu think?" The Lord announced such a brilliant plan, and Lu Bu didn't even buy it? ”
Lin Nan turned his face and saw the chiseled gold tiger head gun in Wen Ping's hand, so he asked curiously, "Zhongye, whose gun are you carrying?" ”
Wen Ping said with a smile: "It's Ju Yi's, General Huang killed Ju Yi last night, I saw that his gun was good, so I took it, and I felt very good in my hand, so I couldn't put it down." ”
Lin Nandao: "Ju Yi is a general, but it's a pity that he would rather die than surrender, and he is too grateful to the incompetent Yuan family." However, his death made Zhao Jun suffer a great blow. Zilong! You go and call out Frustrated Hu in a moment, and it's his turn to play. ”
Zhao Yun said "no", rode his horse away from Lin Nan first, and walked out towards the military camp.
Chen Zhi and Wen Ping followed Lin Nan closely, and saw the moat stretching all the way to the east along the way, and the three of them all felt a trace of emotion about the city defense of Yecheng.
Lin Nan watched the water of the moat flowing, and suddenly had an idea, his face was full of joy, and he immediately ordered: "Return to the camp quickly, I already have a plan to break the city." ”
Seeing Lin Nan so happy, Chen Zhi and Wen Ping looked at each other, and then asked, "Please make it public!" ”
Lin Nan smiled and didn't answer, only ordered: "When you get to the big tent, you will definitely know, go, go back to the camp quickly!" ”
Chen Zhi and Wen Ping followed Lin Nan back to the barracks quickly, and when they met Zhao Yun bringing Frustrated Hu out, he directly asked Zhao Yun to take Frustrated Hu aside for a while to wait, and then summoned all the generals to gather in the big tent.
In the big tent, all the generals and strategists gathered, Lin Nan opened his mouth and said: "The defense of Yecheng City is very thick, and it is extremely difficult to attack, presumably the enemy also knows this, plus our army killed Ju Yi last night, and the enemy army will not go out of the city lightly." So, now the only way is to attack with water. ”
"Water attack?" Xu You's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly asked, "Does the lord want to break the water of the Zhanghe River?" ”
Lin Nan smiled: "Exactly." ”
Xu You praised: "The lord is really high-minded, and his subordinates think the same way." ”
Lin Nan had watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and knew that Xu You had offered a plan to flood Yecheng with the water of the Zhanghe River, and when he heard Xu You say this, he only smiled hesitantly and did not answer much.
"However, it is a hot day now, the weather is unusually hot, and the rain rarely comes down, if the water of the Zhanghe River is broken to irrigate the city, we must invest a lot of manpower, first intercept it, and then dig a chasm to reach Yecheng." Xu You analyzed.
Lin Nan smiled but did not answer, and looked around at the generals.
Ouyang Yinying stood up and said loudly: "You are only half right, I guess the lord's intention is not to simply irrigate the city. If you want to flood the city, the time chosen is not right. It is now in the scorching heat, although it is possible to rush Yecheng with water, but under such a scorching sun, it is easy to weaken the effect of flooding. In my opinion, whether the lord is irrigating the city or not, it is right to soak the grain in the granary of Yecheng with this great water. (To be continued......)
