Chapter 272: Unhappy Yuan Xi
The shameless Liu Yu has now stepped into the realm of Youzhou. Thanks to the merits of Liu Yu, a dead man, the people of Youzhou still remember his goodness, and they welcome Liu Yu's army along the way.
But the defenders of Youzhou were not so good. They are the targets of Liu Yu. They knew that Liu Yu was not here to repair Liu Yu's mausoleum at all, as he said. Except for the emperor, where would anyone use 100,000 people to build a mausoleum, and it was a murderous army of 100,000. Many defenders who had a clear understanding of their own strength chose to surrender very happily.
Liu Yu also agreed to the surrender of these people.
Of course, there are also some people who are not long-sighted, these people were promoted by Yuan Shao after he occupied Youzhou, so they are very loyal to Yuan Shao. They publicly condemned Liu Yu's righteous deeds, and mobilized the army and civilians to strictly defend the city, preparing to use strong means to let Liu Yu know that Youzhou is not so easy to mess with.
If it was the Youzhou soldiers and horses in the past, or the Youzhou soldiers in the heyday of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu would still be a little jealous. Although Yuan Shao has many troops and is strong, in order to destroy Gongsun Zhan, the elite soldiers and generals were taken away, and the rest are either the old, weak, sick and disabled in Youzhou, or the reserve troops of Yuan Shao's army, and it is conceivable how much combat effectiveness it can have. For this kind of guy who is not self-sufficient, Liu Yu is not verbose, and directly sends the main elite to attack. After entering Youzhou, Liu Yu's troops had never experienced a battle, which made Lu Bu and Dian Wei, these battle maniacs, depressed for a long time. Now that there is finally a short-sighted appearance, these battle maniacs can vent the killing intent in their hearts. In the face of such a violent Liu Yujun, no one could resist for too long. Liu Yu only used one wave of attacks to destroy them. Liu Yu beheaded these guards who dared to hinder his progress, and hung their heads on the city gate.
If you surrender, you can live, but if you resist, you will only die. Many smart people naturally know how to choose.
This made Liu Yu's march speed up a lot.
And the chief general of Youzhou Town, Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, was worried every day, afraid that Liu Yu would be killed.
Yuan Shao sent his eldest son to Qingzhou, and made his second son the chief general of Youzhou Town, and as for the younger son Yuan Shang, he was left in Jizhou by Yuan Shao. Three sons, one man, one state, seems fair. But Yuan Xi didn't think so, and was very unhappy with Yuan Shao's arrangement. Although Yuan Xi is neither big nor small, he also thinks that he is a great talent. Now Yuan Shao handed over to him Youzhou, which was in ruins, and to say it nicely was to believe in his ability, and to say it badly was to be eccentric. Anyway, that's what Yuan Xi thought, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's partiality, why didn't he hand over the rich Jizhou to him. Even if it is not handed over to him, it is better to leave Yuan Xi in Yecheng than to be the main general in Youzhou.
Yuan Xi recently married Zhen Mi, the daughter of the Zhen family, and when people are happy, Yuan Xi can't wait to stay in Yecheng all the time.
In a very accidental situation, Yuan Xi, who often wandered around Yecheng, met Zhen Mi and was shocked. Yuan Xi has seen the world, as a child of the Yuan family, the maids in the family must be carefully selected, and the general beauty will not be Lin Yuanxi's eyes. But Yuan Xi had never seen such a beautiful woman, and his heart was about to jump out. Of course, Yuan Xi would not let Zhen Mi go, after many inquiries, he learned that Zhen Mi was the daughter of the Zhen family, and heard that Zhen Mi had the life of the queen, Yuan Xi begged Yuan Shao to propose to him alive.
Yuan Shao'er had relatively soft roots, and he couldn't stand Yuan Xi's pleas, so he sent someone to plead with the Zhen family.
Zhen Mi's father, Zhen Yi, was so happy. He has several daughters, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers, the most outstanding Zhen Mi. Although Zhen Yi is now a businessman, he has worked as a Shang Cai Ling before and knows what political investment is. Several of his daughters were married to families that were useful to him, so Zhen Yi was able to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou, which has many influences. The Zhen family can already be said to be rich in Hebei, but Zhen Yi feels that this is not enough, what he wants is not the rich party, but the right.
Zhen Yi likes to make friends with all kinds of people, and he also has a lot of customers.
There was once a wandering Taoist priest who passed by Zhen's Mansion and was received by Zhen Yi. After the Taoist priest saw Zhen Mi's face, he said that she would give birth to the Son of Heaven. Zhen Yi, who was very excited, invited strange people from all over the world who could watch people's faces to look at Zhen Mi's faces, and after reading them all, they all said that they were unspeakably expensive. Zhen Yi quietly spread the news. The families in Jizhou who received the news were about to step on the door of the Zhen family, but Zhen Yi found various reasons to shirk it. Now Zhen Yi finally caught the big fish of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao is the overlord of the three states, and marrying such a character is something that Zhen Yi can't ask for. After three media and six appointments, Zhen Yi and Yuan Shao chose an auspicious day for the zodiac and prepared to do this family affair.
Finally having the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze, Yuan Xi was overjoyed, and stayed in his room every day, reading and writing well, and cultivating his self-cultivation. Just when Yuan Xi was counting the days to get married, Yuan Shao transferred him to Youzhou. It's no wonder that Yuan Xi is not angry.
But now Yuan Xi has no time to be angry with Yuan Shao. Liu Yu's army is about to kill him, and Yuan Xi, as the general of Youzhou, must resist Liu Yu and defend Youzhou. Otherwise, if Yuan Shao didn't have to clean him up, Liu Yu would be able to do him.
Yuan Xi constantly gave orders from the main position, and deployed heavy troops around the office.
Most of the civil and military forces in Youzhou were forced to surrender to Yuan Shao, and now that Liu Yu's army is coming, they don't have much will to fight. Some people still wish that Liu Yu would come soon.
"Don't worry. My father's army was coming to my aid. We only need to hold on for a few days, and when my father's army comes, I will attack Liu Yu on both sides, and Liu Yu will be defeated. Yuan Xi constantly cheered for Youzhou's civil and military forces.
"The second son is wise." Yuan Xi said so, as a subordinate, it is not okay not to express his approval.
At the point where Yuan Shao came to help, Yuan Xi was lying, and he didn't know when Yuan Shao would come here. Yuan Xi didn't feel that he was lying, because Yuan Xi was Yuan Shao's son, and Yuan Shao would not let his son go. Whether Yuan Shao thinks this way, no one knows, but Yuan Xi thinks so.
Liu Yu's army had already come to a distance of fifty miles from Yuan Xi. In order to give the army enough time to rest, Liu Yu let the army camp in an open place.
Originally, Liu Yu was planning to set off the next day, defeat Yuan Xi in one fell swoop, and wipe out all the resistance forces in Youzhou.
However, the arrival of Gongsun Zhan's envoy affected Liu Yu's plan.
