120 Wars and Draws(5)
For more than ten days in a row, Yuan Shao's army only surrounded but did not fight, and it seemed that they were waiting for some opportunity.
However, this kind of waiting is the most torturous, in the face of the strict defense of Yuan Shao's army, no matter how brave Guan Yu is, there is no chance to surprise the enemy formation, so he has no choice but to return to the city, keeping an eye on the movements of the Yuan army under the city every day, and he does not dare to relax.
It's just that Zhong Xuanxu and Jinyang Xungui's one-month grounding period, in a blink of an eye, most of the time has passed, Liu Bei's father and son army is still far away, only heard Yuan Jun first flashing Zhang Yan's head under the city, then Zhang He's head, and then Zhang Fei's, Tian Feng, Jian Yong's head was also presented, to this day, Liu Feng's head is also raised high on the flagpole, Yuan Jun scolded the formation to the best of his ability, presumably Liu Bei's head, it is not far away.
Although he knew that this was just a trick by Yuan Jun, but Jinyang was trapped, Guan Yu could only be bored in his heart, and he didn't laugh for days.
Zhong Xuan was also worried, and even personally beheaded a mouthy servant to punish the comer, but it was still inevitable that the people in the city would panic.
Yuan Jun camp.
Guo Tu had already returned, kneeling in front of Yuan Shao, with a calm face.
Everyone couldn't imagine that Liu Feng would actually ask for peace, and he would think of it so high-soundingly!
However, if you think about it seriously, the truth is very clear, surrounded on three sides, and Jizhou will obviously not be able to win this war for a while and a half, however, if it continues, Jizhou will obviously not be the final winner!
Dong Zhuo? Gongsun Chan? Also, Cao Cao, Meng De?
The heroes are looking at each other, and the whole body is moved!
Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, and in his ears, there was even a slight snort of his own.
Falling pins can be heard!
He had long advocated the withdrawal of the army. He didn't even think it was feasible to clash with Liu Bei head-on before settling Gongsun Zhan, until Yuan Shao told him about Gao Ran, and Gao Ran's clever move was for the sake of the mountain, and it fell short!
At present, the situation is stalemate, and if the fight continues, Liu Bei will certainly suffer heavy losses, but how can Jizhou win easily. In particular, Liu Bei has already waved his army into Jizhou, how is Feng Jicai, he doesn't think he can stop Liu Bei, and no one knows, when did Gongsun Chan come out of the cage and enter Jizhou, can he stop Gongsun Zhan?
Roughly, the chance of victory or defeat is only between five and five.
However, if Yuan Shao wanted to give up the Yanmen County that he had already swallowed, he was not very sure to persuade him. And Yanmen is the largest county in the state, if it is returned to Liu Bei, not to mention that this time the attack and the state will be in vain, although Liu Bei has lost several soldiers, as long as the land and population are still there, Yuan Shao is notorious and has not achieved the strategic goal! Under the elimination of the other's strengths, it is by no means that Jizhou Group is willing to see it.
Moreover, even if the Yuan and Liu families intend to quit the army, the war has already reached this point, and I am afraid that I can't help myself. 3
"Lord, Liu Feng is tricky, could this be an illusion he released?" Xin Ping looked at Guo Tu still kneeling on the ground, feeling related, and tried to speak out to break the silence.
Yuan Shao glanced up at Xin Ping, but he was noncommittal, walked over slowly, picked Guo Tu up with his own hands, and said: "Public rule, although this matter is not successful, the fault is not you, it is Xiansi (Yuan Tanzi) mistake!"
"Tu is guilty, it was Tu who mistakenly believed Wang Rou, so he fell into danger for the eldest prince, Tu's crime is unforgivable! figure, don't dare to entrust it to the eldest prince, please lord, heavy punishment!" Guo Tu took two steps back, and then fell to his knees again, his voice trembling slightly.
Seeing that Guo Tu was still pleading, Yuan Shao didn't insist anymore, withdrew his hand, sighed lightly, and said: "The matter has come to this, it's useless to say anything, after all, you are an unintentional mistake, can you be blamed for being lonely?" I only hate that Liu Feng Xiao'er is so hateful, I will imprison my beloved son, and I will not spare him!"
It is impossible to say that Yuan Shao does not hate Guo Tu in his heart, and after so many days, he has also figured it out, if Guo Tu hadn't mistrusted Wang Rou, Liu Feng would have received the news of the loss of Yanmen in such a short time, and Yan Liang would not have died, let alone Yuan Tan would have fallen into Liu Feng's hands. However, Guo Tu's initiative to ask for guilt made Yuan Shao think back to Guo Tu's many contributions since he invested in his account, and saw him lying on the cold ground, he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he felt a little pity, and his anger dissipated slightly.
"Lord, take the West River, although the prince has had, but thinking of his past merits, he can also be worth today's loss! It's just that Liu Feng's proposal, but I don't know how sincere he is, dare to ask the public what he thinks? The judge looked at Guo Tu with a grateful look of pleading guilt, and there was a burst of disgust in his heart, not without sarcasm.
Yuan Shao's heart moved, and Xu Yu was like this! If everyone can do bad things again and again because of their own merits, when will their great cause be completed?
Guo Tu didn't know how to judge the thoughts, and kowtowed to Yuan Shao heavily, but glanced at the trial and said, "The judge pleaded for the picture, and he didn't dare to accept it!" Meritorious service will be rewarded, fault must be punished, the supreme reason of the master, dare to ruin the reputation of the lord because of his own selfish feelings!"
The judge's face suddenly turned purple, and he frowned slightly, but he was very dissatisfied with Guo Tu's words, who didn't know that the main prince Yuan Shao couldn't stand it the most!
"Lord, I think that Liu Feng should have seven points of sincerity! Yanmen and the largest county in the state are already in the lord's pocket, and the grain and grass are all the lord's income, and although Liu Bei is out of Jizhou, there are Feng Yuantu and Xun Youruo (Xun Chen) in it, and there is General Wenchou Yongguan three armies, although Liu Bei is the hero of the first generation, but he can't get a city and a pool in Jizhou, the longer the war, the more he will have to retreat!" Ignoring the trial, with Yuan Shao's comfort, Guo Tu was very sure in his heart, even if he did everything he had thought in his heart for the past few days, it was only because he did something wrong that he had to change the grasp of "ninety percent" to "seventy percent", but he was still full of confidence.
"Hmm." Yuan Shao replied lightly and said: "Our army can't take Jinyang, and it is not the best strategy to attack the city." ”
Although he didn't like Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao couldn't ignore that his eldest son fell into the hands of Liu Feng, although he would not suffer and be abused, but the threats mentioned by Liu Feng were exactly what he was most worried about.
"Lord, the day before yesterday, the spies reported that Zhong Xuan had personally killed a domestic servant who had followed him for many years at home, and he also frightened his wife because of this. If you want to come to Jinyang City, you are already in embarrassment, and Zhong Miao lost his square inch earlier! The day before yesterday, Zhong Miao had personally promised with the heroes of Jinyang that for a period of one month, saying that our army would retreat, and most of the time had passed, and our army was forced to encircle, Guan Yu was helpless, and the lord could slaughter the city, so that Liu Bei's father and son and wife were bound in the city to surrender to protect the head of the family, so as to force Jinyang to mess up! And Liu Bei's father and son's family are in the city, once Jinyang City is broken, why worry about not being able to get back the eldest son? ”
Yuan Shao is not the only son of Yuan Tan, and he doesn't like it, if he gives up a waste son in exchange for Liu Bei's destruction, he is confident that Yuan Shao will not give up this opportunity. However, he didn't dare to say such words openly, he just didn't forget to turn around and remind Yuan Shao, and glanced at Guo Tu who was lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and he didn't want to see Guo Tu be able to atone for his crimes!
Guo Tu just returned, he didn't know the situation of the siege of Jinyang, but he knew in his heart that the trial would not take the eldest prince Yuan Tan in his eyes, but he didn't know what to do for a while, and the cold sweat on his forehead "shabu" slid down.
