"Good! Now that the two lines of defense in the north and south of Taiyuan County have been attracted by Yuan Tan and others to the vicinity of Jinyang City, only a small number of troops are left as alerts, and our army can attack at any time! ”

Ma Qiang looked at the map updated by the latest intelligence, clapped his hands and smiled.

"Ming Gong, then when will we send troops?" Huang Zhong asked a little impatiently, his first army had also arrived at Huguan, and now Huguan had gathered the first, third, and sixth armies, but the soldiers were strong.

"Without further ado, we will send troops today, send a telegram to Zhao Yun, Huaxiong and other departments, and send troops overnight tonight to take the south of Yanmen County as quickly as possible, and within ten days, we must kill Langmeng County and block the North Taiyuan Road.

Han Sheng, your first army and the third army marched together to attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's troops, as for the name of sending troops... Let's just find one, let's just say that the three brothers used swords during their father's funeral, which is a big unfilial act. ”

Well, just make do with an excuse.

"No! Do it now! ”

The cannibalism of the Yuan brothers opened the north-south road of Taiyuan, and this time the attack of the Northern Army was smooth as if it was on the march, and the three Yuan brothers who got the news that the Northern Army had killed again realized that they had opened the door of Taiyuan County for Ma Qiang.

But it was already too late, and after a long battle, the exhausted remnants of the Yuan army were not opponents at all in the face of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had been cultivating for almost a month, and soon lost several places and were trapped in several cities centered on Jinyang City.

"What to do? What to do? Mother, what should we do now? ”

Yuan Shang, who had no master of the six gods, was anxious to circle around in the room, and his young brain couldn't think of a solution to this situation at all.

"Or... How about our surrender? ”

In the face of her own family, Mrs. Liu can be as ruthless as a wolf, but in the face of foreign enemies, Mrs. Liu is as soft as a sheep.

"Surrender?"

"That's right, Ma Ziyu can make your two brothers the county guard and assassin history, he has dozens of counties in four states, can't he also share one of you?

It doesn't have to be rich, it would be good if our mother and son could live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

Even if you can't be a county guard, you can be a county magistrate! ”

Mrs. Liu's words made Yuan Shang extremely disappointed.

He is young, but he has grown up under Yuan Shao's cultivation since he was a child, but he also has a sense of arrogance in his heart.

Or... It's called the middle two breaths.

"No! My father didn't surrender, and neither did my two brothers, so how could I surrender? Yuan Shang said categorically, "I'll go to find Zhaozhao, Yin Kai, and Frustrated Hu, Jinyang City is high and the grain is sufficient, I just have to keep it for one year, three years, ten years, and I have to keep it!" ”

Looking at the back of Yuan Shang who left the room, Mrs. Liu only felt chills all over her body.

"Shang'er... Don't listen to me anymore? ”

Mrs. Liu sighed, but then began to think about her own plan to get out.

She is not surnamed Yuan, although she gave birth to Yuan Shang, she doesn't want to be buried for the Yuan family at all.

- Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi barracks

"What to do? What to do? Huang Zhong captured Qi County, Guan Hai grabbed Yangyi, and now we are left with this Yu Ci and one place, how could it become like this! ”

Yuan Tan turned around anxiously, he had already been captured once by the Northern Army, and he didn't have the courage to face the Northern Army again, and now he just wanted to escape as far as possible.

"The road to the north is also blocked, so it's better to go west and go over the mountains to Xihe County." Yuan Xi proposed.

"Two sons, once we leave Taiyuan, Yuan Shang will definitely not be able to hold Jinyang, even if we arrive at Xihe, how long can we hold out? Do you want to go further west to the upper county? Going to Xiliang? ”

"Mr. Xu, then you say, what should I do?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Enter Jinyang City and defend the city with the third son! Jinyang City has long been repaired, and a lot of grain and grass have been accumulated, the northern army wants to transport grain from Jizhou and even Qingzhou to here, the grain road has exceeded thousands of miles, as long as we hold on for a few months, they will inevitably run out of food and retreat. ”

"But how did we get into Jinyang City?"

"We were enemies with the third prince before, but now in the face of foreign enemies, we are friends, the three sons are brothers after all, as long as we talk about it well, I think the third prince will agree."

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi glanced at each other and nodded, now it can only be like this.

Walking out of the big tent, Xu You returned to his tent, and immediately turned out a small jar of liquid brought out of Ma Qiang's military camp, then dipped it with a brush, and wrote a few words on the paper, only then called his entourage and asked him to take this piece of paper that looked like white paper to the northern military camp.

Subsequently, Xu You found an entourage and asked him to secretly enter Jinyang City to find Guo Tu and explain the matter of the day.

Don't look at the heavily guarded Jinyang City, but for Xu You, who was once one of the best masterminds under Yuan Shao, I don't know how many people in the defenders of Jinyang City have received his favor, and it is not difficult to find a relationship to send someone in.

A day later, Yuan Tan and the two came to Jinyang City together accompanied by Xu You and Gao Gan, shouting out that Yuan Shang had seen each other, and the three brothers looked at each other.

"Xianfu! Now that the enemy is present, why don't we put aside our prejudices and fight the enemy together! ”

When Yuan Shang saw Yuan Tan say this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "What my brother said is exactly what I think in my heart, please ask the two brothers to set up a village outside the city, we will fight each other, and we will be able to break the enemy!" ”

Or won't you be allowed to go into town?

Xu You looked at Yuan Tan and the others, and saw that their faces were not very good, thinking about it, it was not clear whether they still regarded Yuan Tan and the others as their own people.

"Third son, since you want to form an alliance with each other, why don't you treat each other with sincerity? The two sons and many soldiers in the army have not gone home for a long time to reunite, so it is better to let the sergeants in Jinyang City go home for a reunion for three days, and the three sons also have a reunion dinner, how about it? ”

Xu You played the emotional card, if it were a few years later, Yuan Shang would probably refuse if he didn't even think about it, but Yuan Shang, who was still young, began to hesitate.

A person next to Yuan Shang said, "Duke Ming, you can limit the number of Yuan Tan and the others entering the city, and then send troops and horses to defend it, and you can be safe." ”

Yuan Shang looked at the man and saw that it was Guo Tu.

Guo Tu has been joining the army by Yuan Shang's side since he was relieved of military power, knowing that he has lost Yuan Shang's trust, he usually does not speak, and offering advice at this time makes Yuan Shang feel a little surprised.

"Mr. Guo seems to still have a big son in his heart!" Simbi, who was on the side, immediately said with a sneer.

"I only have the Yuan family in my heart, and I have no selfish interests, otherwise I would have led my troops to battle under the city today!" Guo Tu ridiculed each other, but such a statement made Yuan Shang feel relieved.

"Okay, that's it!" Yuan Shang made a decision and shouted out his thoughts to the two Yuan Tan below, who accepted the plan under Xu You's persuasion and decided to enter the city in the afternoon.
