Chapter 30: Calculation within Calculation (6)
Li Ming looked at Yuan Shang, who had taken off his black robe, and his heart jumped. His first instinct was the letter he had just hidden, but then he fell silent. If it was because he found out that he had dealings with Zhang He and others, Yuan Shang would not have come here alone. Li Ming looked at Yuan Shang without saying a word, waiting for the following...
Yuan Shang took the half pot of wine and took a big sip. With a puncy in his stomach, he slowly spoke:
"General Li was originally a brave general who galloped on the battlefield, and now he is guarding the city gate here. Indeed, it was my father's fault, and I couldn't make the most of it. Now that I am in charge of Jizhou, I want to ask the general to go out of the mountains and continue to lead the army. Meritorious service, I don't know what the general wants? ”
Li Ming was shocked, he never expected that Yuan Shang would come to recruit him. Respectfully bowed:
"Thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, the last general is willing to follow the lord. Go to the soup and go to the fire, do not hesitate!! ”
Yuan Shang took another big sip of wine, and his afterglow swept over Li Ming. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this result had been expected by him. In his opinion, Li Ming has been forgotten here by his father for so many years, and he has been wronged on weekdays. Now he has come to solicit him, and he directly promises to be a high-ranking official. Then Li Ming will be grateful to himself and loyal!! Thinking of this, Yuan Shang laughed out loud and put down the wine jug in his hand. patted Li Ming on the shoulder and said:
"Good!! General Li, since the general has been in the city defense army for so many years, he is familiar with all affairs. Then the general is still here, I will promote the general to a former general, and select 60,000 elite soldiers from the Jizhou camp to be handed over to the general, what does the general think? ! ”
Li Ming clasped his fists again, and Yuan Shang laughed and put on a black robe. Gone...
After Yuan Shang left, the respect on Li Ming's face disappeared. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, he was not a fool. Li Ming knew very well that he had been here for so long, and Yuan Shang had never asked. And now he suddenly promoted himself, obviously wanting to make himself grateful to him and be born and die for him! What's even more strange is that Yuan Shang is obviously changing the city defense army, and the leader of the city defense army is Han Yunshan. The purpose is already self-evident...
In December of the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Tan personally led an army of 100,000 and poured out. They drove mightily to Pingyuan County and set up camp less than twenty miles away from Pingyuan County. made a posture of attacking the city, and the news reached Jizhou. There was an uproar...
Yuan Shang convened an emergency military meeting, and all the civil and military forces gathered in the general's palace. Han Shizhong felt that the opportunity to turn the situation around had come, and he decided to persuade Yuan Shang to hold on at the meeting. In this way, the situation in Jizhou will not change, after making up your mind. Han Shizhong was the first to come to the lobby, waiting for Yuan Shang's arrival...
After everyone assembled, Yuan Shang was dressed in a military uniform. Saber on the court!!
"See the !! of the Lord"
Everyone bowed.
Yuan Shang looked at everyone and said gloomily:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Yuan Tan personally led his troops to attack Pingyuan County. On the surface, it was to attack Cao's army, but in fact, it was aimed at us. Now, Jizhou is at stake in the real crisis. Therefore, I am determined to personally lead 80,000 elite soldiers. Before Yuan Tan, take Pingyuan County. In this way, we can ensure that Jizhou is worry-free. ”
As he spoke, Yuan Shang glanced at Han Shizhong, who was standing at the front.
"In this battle, we can only win and not lose. I hope you can work together to live and die together. But there are those who escape from the battle, and those who disturb the morale of the army. Those who dare to retreat are like this table!! ”
After speaking, Yuan Shang drew his sword. A sword slashed off a corner of the table in front of him.
Everyone said yes, Han Shizhong sighed secretly, none of the people who can be the lord are fuel-efficient lamps, Yuan Shang was so resolute as soon as he came up, and he wanted to fight in person. He didn't give himself a chance to turn the situation around at all, and now he could only hope to recapture Pingyuan County, so that at least the Han family's power would not collapse. As long as there is a root, there will be a day to start over!!
Two days later, Yuan Shang gathered 80,000 elite soldiers and set sail for Pingyuan County, during which time. He replaced all 50,000 city defense troops, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. Keep all the military power firmly in your hands. and promoted Li Ming to the former general to lead the new city defense army. At the same time, he appointed the judge as the overseer and led it together. He won't let the same thing happen a second time...
At the same time as Yuan Shang sent troops, Li Ming's secret letter arrived at Cao Ying one step ahead of schedule. Gao Ran took the secret letter and handed it to Zhang He as soon as possible, and after Xu Tian and the three of them discussed, Zhang He personally took the letter day and night, and ran all the way to Xu Du...
When handing over the letter in his hand to the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang He fell into a coma due to overwork. The soldiers ran into Xun Yu on the way to find the imperial doctor with Zhang He.
"What's going on?!"
"Lord Yuxun, General Zhang traveled 600 miles a day from Jizhou all the way to here, and he was exhausted and unconscious. Before he fell unconscious, he asked the villain to hand over the letter to the prime minister. ”
A soldier took a piece of silk and handed it to Xun Yu.
"Carry General Zhang to the Imperial Doctor, and take care of it!!"
After speaking, Xun Yu quickly walked towards the interior of the Prime Minister's Mansion. By the end, he even trotted up.
At this time, Cao Cao was eating. Suddenly, someone rushed in, and Xun Yu almost fell to the ground. didn't explain immediately, and directly handed the silk silk in his hand to Cao Cao. Then he gasped for breath on the side, but his glasses kept staring at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the silk silk with some doubts and continued to eat with one hand. Holding the silk silk in one hand, he looked at it. In an instant, Cao Cao directly threw away the chopsticks in his hand and stood up violently!
"Now Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are all contained in Pingyuan County by Xu Chu and Xu Tian. And Jizhou has our inside line, this is our best time!! ”
Cao Cao stared at Xun Yu and said word by word.
"Xun Yu, immediately order, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao led 50,000 light horses. With the fastest speed, the stars and nights. Straight to Jizhou, I personally led 100,000 horses and horses to arrive!! Just go!! ”
Xun Yu immediately turned around and left, and Cao Cao's laughter came from inside the room...
Late at night, above the gates of Plains County. Xu Tian looked up at the starry sky, too many things had happened too quickly during this time. It made him seem to have an unreal feeling, now, there is Yuan Tan's 100,000 army in front of him, and Yuan Shang's 80,000 elite soldiers in the back. An army of more than 200,000 people was about to assemble in this small plain county, and a sense of pride emerged in Xu Tian's heart. If you can fight in such a position, you will be really dead. It can be regarded as a heroic death. It's worth it...
Thinking of this, Xu Tian took out a sachet from his arms. A touch of pink appeared in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Tian's mouth. In this era, if you want to say that Xu Tian is really worried, I am afraid that only the owner of this sachet is the owner. Xu Tian secretly said in his heart:
"If I don't die this time, I, Xu Tian, will definitely marry Murong Hanyan in a beautiful way!!"
Xu Chu didn't know when he came to the city gate, and when he saw Xu Tian holding a sachet in a daze, he laughed.
"Who does the gentleman want?! Hahahaha, I know something about Mr., this time I return to Xudu, Xu will definitely have a drink at Mr.'s wedding banquet!! ”
After saying that, he laughed again, and Xu Chu's appearance interrupted Xu Tian's contemplation. Xu Tian looked at Xu Chu with a smile.
"General, then it's a deal!"
"By the way, sir, Yuan Tan sent people to get the edict of the Son of Heaven before the war, and to inform the world. Now that we are enemies on both sides, if we don't agree, Yuan Tan may be annoyed and angry. Really come to attack us. If you promise him, if he gets what he wants, he will still come. How can this be good?! ”
Xu Tian put the sachet in his arms and smiled slightly. After Xu Chu whispered a few words in his ear, the corners of Xu Chu's mouth gradually rose, and he laughed.
"Okay, okay!! That's it, as long as we can drag on long enough, Qingzhou, Jizhou, hehe, are what we have in our pockets!!! ”
The starlight in the sky no longer seemed to be bright, and dark clouds gradually covered the sky. Gathered in the sky above Plains County, it seemed to be a sign of what was about to happen.........
