Chapter 31: Save the Forbidden, Slander Cao Cao
In this case, whoever Yuan Xi designates is the best general in his eyes.
This is the honor of the generals!
It's also a matter of face!
In addition to Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang, there are also Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, etc.; Not to mention the other generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are long-known generals, and they are also the generals that Yuan Shao relies on the most.
originally thought that Yuan Xi would pick them.
I didn't expect to pick a jaw.
Noticing Yan Liang and Wen Chou's slightly angry gazes, Yuan Xi seemed to understand a little, and chuckled: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Ran and all the generals are all famous generals in the world, no matter who they choose, they will definitely be able to make contributions." But attacking Puyang is just a trivial matter, and all the generals should work together to meet Cao Cao. In the battle of Puyang, it was enough for me and General Zhangjaw. β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals softened a little.
Yuan Shao said: "Since Xi'er has designated Zhang Jaw, let Zhang Jaw lead the army." β
"The last will obey."
Jaw stood up.
After a few months, seeing that Yuan Xi had such great achievements, Zhang Jaw was also very pleased. I am even more glad that I made the decision to promise to be loyal to Yuan Xi before Yuan Xi did not rise.
The council is almost over...
Yuan Shao ordered someone to bring Yu Ban up, wanting to recruit Yu Ban.
However, he refused to obey and insulted him.
What do you say Yuan Shao is a hypocrite, a real villain, a woman with a beard...
Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to be beheaded under the forbidden sacrifice banner and march for the army.
"Father."
Yuan Xi hesitated, but was still ready to intercede on behalf of Yu Ban: "Yu Ban is hateful, but he is Cao Cao's general, and it will definitely be useful to keep it." It is better to give him to the child, and let him be in the child's care. Maybe it will be the key to winning or losing in the future. β
"If it weren't for Xi'er's intercession, I wouldn't have spared!"
Yuan Shao's anger had not yet subsided, and he scolded angrily: "Drag Yu Ban out, and the heavy staff will be eighty!" β
"No."
The guards dragged Yu Ban away and executed him outside the tent.
Yu Ban was tortured with a cane, but he didn't snort.
After the meeting.
Yuan Xi took him back to his camp, personally gave him medicine, and said, "You, you are looking for death." β
"Scolding him makes me happy!"
"You're happy, but your ass can't stand it."
Yu Ban knew Yuan Xi's thoughts, and said, "Do you want to use this way to persuade me to submit?" Don't even think about it, I'd rather die. β
Yuan Xi said: "General Yu has seen Chen Lin's essay on begging for thieves? It is written in the text: Sikong Cao Cao, his grandfather Cao Teng, used to be a palace eunuch, gluttonous and indulgent, hurtful and abused the people; His father, Cao Song, was as greedy as a jackal, as vicious as a snake, as poisonous as a scorpion, and as ruthless as a wolf; The Cao family, from the ancestors to the grandchildren, is all ugly, rancid.... β
"You say it's bad who you are loyal to, why should you be loyal to Cao Cao? A despicable and shameless man who has not been met in a hundred years, you still regard him as the master? If I were you, I would leave him as soon as possible, so as not to get into trouble... β
"My hundreds of thousands of Hebei troops are going to Xudu like a bamboo. Cao Cao will definitely not be able to stop him, his defeat is imminent, so you should stop having illusions about him. Or do you think about it and take refuge in me? β
Yuan Xi said a lot.
Yu Ban listened to the 'hum' a few times, but he didn't say a word, let alone refute it.
Yuan Xi felt that Yu Ban's attitude seemed to have changed a little, and he couldn't help but be happy. If you can defeat Cao Cao, maybe you can recruit Yu Ban, right? If you can't, you'll have to put a lot of thought into it.
Next.
It's noon.
Yuan Shao led 290,000 troops and set off for Guandu.
Except for LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang who led 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Baimajin, the rest of the civil and military forces all marched with the army.
"Childe."
Zhang Jaw came to Yuan Xi's tent.
Yuan Xi put on his clothes and armor, picked up his sword, and said, "I'm more worried about the battle of Guandu, I'm afraid that our Hebei army can't fight Cao Cao's elite." Therefore, we must quickly occupy Puyang and go to Guandu. β
"The lord's strength is twice that of Cao Cao, it's not difficult to win, right?" Jaw open.
"Hehe..."
If Yuan Xi wasn't a traverser, he would think the same way. But in fact, the outcome of the Battle of Guandu ended with Yuan Shao's defeat. Yuan Xi couldn't say what he thought in his heart, so he only said, "I hope." β
"Dispatch troops and go to Puyang immediately."
"No."
Yuan Xi has mammoths to help, and it is not difficult to attack the city.
The difficulty is to defeat the 50,000 Cao troops in Puyang City at the lowest cost and in the fastest time. and then rushed to the front line of Guandu to support Yuan Shao. Because he had a hunch, Zhang Xiu was about to descend to Cao.
Once Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao, Yuan Shao would not be far from defeat.
He is now competing with Cao Cao for time, fighting with history, and changing Yuan Shao's fate.
In the evening.
Yuan Xi arrived at the outskirts of Puyang with Jiao Touch and open jaw.
110,000 steps, one mile away from Puyang City, camped and rested.
In order to find out the enemy's preparations, Yuan Xi took Zhang Jaw to Puyang. Standing only a stone's throw away from the city tower, Yuan Xi observed for a long time.
Zhang Jaw was afraid that Yuan Xi would make a mistake, so he persuaded: "Son, go back to the camp and rest, and let the last general investigate." β
"Ugh...."
Yuan Xi shook his head as if worried.
"Why is Childe sighing?"
"I took a closer look at Puyang's city defenses. It was found to be three feet high and two feet thick. There are eaves on top of the castle tower, which is extremely difficult to climb. Our soldiers had to climb up to the eaves by ladders, and then climb through the eaves into the towers. The enemy only needs a platoon of spears to wipe out our soldiers within the eaves. Looking at his city gate, it is also built very strongly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break open. β
"What Childe said is extremely true." Zhang Jaw said: "Puyang City is strong, and there are 50,000 elite Cao army guards, our army should not be attacked." Lejin should be lured out of the city and eliminated outside the city. β
"Hmm." Yuan Xi thought about it, but he had an idea and asked, "Does Lejin have cavalry?" β
"Yes."
"How much?"
"Two thousand."
Hearing this pitiful figure, Yuan Xi's plan to control the enemy's war horse surprise attack also failed. And Puyang City is three zhang high, and the mammoth is only two zhang, so it is impossible to put soldiers on it.
"Huh? Pregnant! Yuan Xi suddenly shouted.
"Did Childe think of a plan?" Jaw asked,
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi replied: "Hurry up and send someone to prepare planks and soil, the more the better." I'm going to put up the place outside Puyang City. At least a foot up. In that case, I will... β
"What does Childe mean?"
"I'll not talk about it yet, you'll find out tomorrow." Yuan Xi sold it with a smile.
Zhang Jaw didn't ask either.
When he returned to the camp, he sent people to cut down the trees, sawn them into planks, and then packed the earth in sacks and put them on the chariots. Only wait for tomorrow's siege of the city, and transport it to the battlefield.
Rear battalion.
The scorched horse was attacked by the Aeolian Pterodactyl again.
Yuan Xi rushed to the horse farm and stopped a tragedy in time.
Jiao Fu was very annoyed, and said to Yuan Xi almost pleadingly: "Childe, can you take care of this little animal... This divine beast, it has to come every day or two, and I can't guard against it. β
"I told you to prepare the cattle and sheep, are you ready?"
"I'm ready, but he doesn't like to eat it. I like to eat war horses. Jiao Touch cried bitterly, and glanced at the Fengshen Pterodactyl hovering above Yuan Xi's head with hatred and fear.
