Chapter 94: Swaggering out of the city
When he returned to the Thorn History Mansion and saw the corpses all over the ground, Yuan Shu cried bitterly: "Madam... Two Ladies .... β
Yuan Shu is not a lustful person, there are only two ladies Feng and Han in his life, and his relationship is very good. Especially Feng, who gave birth to Yuan Yao for him, has a lot of credit and is deeply loved by Yuan Shu.
I don't want Lu Bu, I even killed my family, and the cruelty of his methods makes people point out.
"The Lord's Day mourns, and state affairs should be the priority." Yuan Lian admonished.
Yuan Shu stabilized his mind and ordered someone to build a coffin, restrain Feng and Han, and bury him in Keri.
Back in the hall, Yuan Shu said angrily: "Lu Bu and my enmity is not the same as the sky, I swear to be captured by him, dig up my heart, eat flesh and skin, and then break my bones and ashes, so as to solve the hatred in my heart!" β
"You have a strategy, should you teach me how to defend against the enemy?"
"Lord, now that the matter is over, it is better for Lu Bu to go out of the city." Yuan Jian got up and said.
"What did you say?!" Yuan Shu said angrily: "Are you asking me to let go of my enemy? β
"The lord and the ministers also reconsidered." Almost half of the civil and military generals stood up.
"You... You guys.... Yuan Shu was angry, and after thinking about it, he understood. LΓΌ Bu threatened to kill the families of all the officials in the city if he was not allowed out of the city. The civil and military officials, because they were afraid of Lu Bu and affected their families, of course they had to persuade him to release Lu Bu.
"No! You must not let Lu Bu go! Yuan Shu sat down angrily.
Yuan Jian said: "Lord, Jian'an County is lost, Danyang County is in danger, if Danyang County is lost again, Huainan is in danger." Lu Bu is ambitious and wants to annex Yangzhou. The lord should be an early soldier and stationed in Danyang County. β
"Then there is Yanzhou Cao Cao, who has personally led an army of 120,000 to capture Yingshang. The lord should know that the counties in the west of me are weak and cannot compete with Cao Cao at all, and the families have long been dissatisfied with the lord, if they unite with Cao Cao and seize the city, then within two months, Shouchun will be in danger. β
Zhong Wenwu couldn't help but glance at Yuan Lian, with admiration on his face.
They were also thinking about how to persuade Yuan Shu, but they didn't expect Yuan Lian's mouth to be so neat, and the reason for letting Lu Bu go was so high-sounding.
All the advisers were overjoyed, and hurriedly echoed: "Lord, you should focus on the overall situation." β
"This..." When Yuan Shu heard this, he also hesitated. If the major event of the expedition is delayed because of the capture of Lu Bu, it is indeed a small loss that outweighs the loss.
But thinking that Lu Bu was in the city, but he couldn't kill Lu Bu, but wanted to let Lu Bu go, but he was unwilling.
"Zhang Xun, Chen Lan."
"The end will be."
Yuan Shu asked: "As a general, you can't capture three reckless men if you command hundreds of thousands of troops?" β
"Back to the lord, Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba are all strong in martial arts, and they have the courage to be invincible. The last general is incompetent, please punish the lord. Zhang Xun was embarrassed.
Chen Lan also said: "Yes, Lu Bu always takes advantage of the situation to enter, kill the generals of our army and retreat. The terrain in the city is complicated, and even if we have more soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to find him. β
Zhang Xun said: "What General Chen said is extremely true, every time I transfer iron cavalry and chariots to kill, Lu Bu must retreat, and he does not dare to enter the street, for fear of being ambushed, so he has been in a stalemate for so long, and he has not been able to arrest him." β
Yuan Shu said: "Listen to what you mean, or do you want to let Lu Bu out of the city?" β
"This..." The two looked at each other, but neither dared to answer.
Yuan Jian arched his hand and said: "Lord, in my Shouchun City, there are 20,000 chariot troops and 10,000 iron cavalry, if you want to defeat Lu Bu, why is it difficult?" But because of the narrow terrain, it is difficult for the army to deploy, so let Lu Bu have a chance, it is better to let him out, go outside the city, and have another duel! β
"Furthermore, if Lu Bu goes, Shouchun City will be worry-free, and the lord can fight against Cao and garrison Danyang..."
After some persuasion, Yuan Shu gradually changed his mind.
Although he was unwilling, he was forced by the times to do so. Think about the two Huai Junjie, how many, now there are only Yuan Lian, Yang Hong, Zhang Xun, Chen Lan and the like, if these people are offended again, Yangzhou will really be difficult to protect, and then how to talk about revenge?
"Zhang Xun."
"The end will be."
Yuan Shu said: "I will immediately order the soldiers and horses of Nancheng to withdraw, let Lu Bu out of the city, you lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, go to Ziyang Valley to ambush, and wait for Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba to pass by, ambush and kill." If you don't win this time, you should try military law! β
"No."
"What a clever plan, my lord!" Yuan Jian and Yang Hong hurriedly patted their ass.
Such a good plan, why didn't they think of it, it's really a strategist.
"The sky will not kill me, and the plan will fall from the sky, okay!" Yuan Shu was also muttering in his heart, and he didn't know why, the strategy suddenly came, and he was not so bright in his usual life.
Looking at Yuan Jian and Yang Hong again, Yuan Shu did not blame much. He knew that with the wisdom of Yuan Jian and Yang Hong, he could come up with such a strategy, but it was only because the old and young in the family were threatened and their minds were confused that they failed to advise in time.
Thinking that Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba were about to be ambushed and killed, Yuan Shu turned his worries into joy, got up and said, "Everyone, act according to the plan!" β
"No."
All the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts: "The old and young in the family have finally been saved." β
That night, Zhang Xun led an army of 100,000 troops, left Shouchun, and went to the south of the city, Ziyang Valley to ambush.
Early the next morning, the gates of the city opened. Yuan Shu sent troops to threaten everywhere, claiming that he could let Lu Bu out of the city.
After learning the news, Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba escorted Yu Ji to Nancheng, and after confirming that there were no ambushes in Nancheng, they swaggered out of Yongding Gate.
Yuan Shu came with many soldiers and horses, and watched the enemy leave, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Yuan Shuxiaoer, thank you, there will be a period later!" After Lu Bu left Nancheng, he waved his hand at Yuan Shu on the city tower and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha..." Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba also laughed.
Think about the fact that since the three of them entered Shouchun City, although they were in danger everywhere, they were not injured in the slightest, and they were able to face the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of troops. It shows the courage of the three and the incompetence of Yuan Jun.
How can we not be happy to have made such a feat?
Yuan Shu was deeply ashamed, and gritted his teeth and said: "After I catch Lu Bu, I must slowly torture him and cut off the flesh on his body piece by piece!" β
"General Zhang led 100,000 soldiers and horses to ambush, and he will definitely be able to make contributions!" Chen Landao.
"Well, that's right, I'm a little relieved." Yuan Shu took a deep breath and waited on the city tower with all the officials, waiting for Zhang Xun to come with the news of victory.
However, after Lu Bu left the city, he did not go to Ziyang Valley.
"Why doesn't the lord go to Ziyang Valley? After passing through Ziyang Valley, you can go straight to Danyang. Xiang Yu was puzzled.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Yuan Shu's wife and children were killed, and their enmity with me is as deep as the sea, they will never let me go so easily, I expect that there will be an ambush in Ziyang Valley." Let's take Wu County and then go to Danyang. β
"The lord is brave and strategic, and the last general will admire it." Xiang Yu's expression was abrupt.
Immediately, four people and three horsemen, with a very fast degree, went to the north.
"Newspaper... After Lu Bu left the city, he did not go to Ziyang Valley, but made a detour to Beicheng and went to Wu County. Half an hour later, the scouts arrived.
"What?!" Yuan Shu only felt that the world was spinning, and he was angry, and he fell to the ground screaming, and the Wenchen helped him up: "Lord, are you okay?" β
Yuan Shu hurriedly shouted: "Chen Lan, lead all the iron horsemen, go out of the city to chase, be sure to intercept and kill Lu Bu!" β
"No."
After tea, Chen Lan led the troops out of the city and went to chase after them.
