57. The Danger of the Plains

Two days later, Sun Qian rushed to the city of Changyi, and Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately held a banquet for him. Moreover, he was directly appointed as the Taishou of Changyi, took over the task from Han Fei, and was fully responsible for the construction of the new city.

Han Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this time he could rest for a few days. However, only one day later, he was called into the mansion by Liu Bei.

Seeing Han Fei coming in, Liu Bei said with a stern expression: "Zicong is not good!" Yuan Shao wants to attack the plains and Nanpi, and the men and horses may be on the way at this time! ”

"Huh? Yuan Shao just quit the army with Gongsun Zhan, why does he want to attack us? Han Fei was slightly stunned when he heard Liu Bei's words, and then said.

Liu Bei nodded and said to Han Fei, "What should Zicong do now?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, Yuan Shaoxin has Jizhou. Although there is a signboard of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, it is impossible to integrate the entire Jizhou so easily, so there will not be too many people in this attack. However, this is not the time to turn against him completely, so we just need to defend the plains and Nanpi City. Han Fei said to Liu Bei as he turned his brain rapidly.

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this and said, "Since this is the case, then please Zicong, the rest of the people are at your disposal, you only need to defend these two cities." ”

"I will live up to the trust of my lord! So when do I leave? ”

"The sooner the better!"

"No problem, I'll explain, let's go!" After Han Fei finished speaking, he saluted Liu Bei and turned around and left the room. He first went to find Jia Xu and explained a few words, and then told him to pay more attention to the news of Chang'an, somehow Han Fei always felt that Dong Zhuo should not live long! I just don't know if he died in the hands of Lu Bu this time!

Coming out of Jia Xu, Han Fei immediately found Sun Gan and explained to him the affairs of the city. Then he took Mi Fang and other guards on the way back to Nanpi City.

Gongsun Zhan didn't conquer Wuji City in the end, but he occupied most of Zhongshan Kingdom, but it was not all without gain. Seeing Yuan Shao leading the army coming, he also knew that he had missed the best opportunity, and this battle would not be able to continue! So the two sides began to negotiate peace, Gongsun Zhan left Tian Kai to stay in Zhongshan Kingdom, and he returned to Beiping City with a large team.

And although Yuan Shao kept Wuji City, the troops led by Ju Yi were basically all disabled, and even Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops also suffered more than half of the casualties, looking at these losses made Yuan Shao feel more uncomfortable than eating flies. However, Yuan Shao realized the strength of the White Horse Yicong after this battle, and in order to restrain Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong in the future, he asked Ju Yi to come forward and form a 3,000-person Xiandeng Dead Soldier!

The foreign enemy retreated, and Yuan Shao began to sort out the interior of Jizhou, and then he found that Liu Bei's climate had been completed. Not only in Jizhou occupied the plain and Nanpi two cities, but also in Qingzhou also connected several cities, when he confronted Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei actually laid down a state.

At this time, Guo Tujin, Yuan Shao's subordinate strategist, said: "The north and south of Pingyuan City are important road nodes in Jizhou, and the lord should take it into his own hands as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, what the public rule says is very true! The lord that Liu Bei is still in Qingzhou at this time, and it is the best time to take the plain city! Feng Ji also said.

"I heard that Guan Yu is in Nanpi City at this time, and Guan Yu will definitely come to the rescue in a weak draw." Yuan Shao thought of Guan Yu's heroic posture and unconsciously felt a little timid.

At this time, Yan Liang spoke: "The lord Guan Yu is free for me to deal with, I think if I didn't go to Luoyang for something, how could it be his turn to kill that Huaxiong!" ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Very good!" At the moment, Yan Liangwen Chou was sent to lead an army of 20,000 to conquer Pingyuan City, and Guo Tu was the military advisor of the army.

The three men were ordered to go on an expedition, and the army marched for five days under the city of the plains. After Jian Yong went to Qingzhou, only Xu Rong was in charge of the plain city. However, Xu Rong himself is good at guarding, and the newly built city wall is about five battles high, so when he saw Yuan Shao's army coming, Xu Rong just sneered but was not very worried.

Yuan Shao's army was encamped twenty miles away from the plain, and Yan Liangwen Chou came to the city with 3,000 men and horses to call for battle. Xu Rong looked at Wen Chou who was calling for battle under the city expressionlessly, but he didn't have the slightest idea of going out of the city to fight!

The deputy general Bai Zhan whispered behind Xu Rong: "The general refuses to face the battle and is afraid of low morale, otherwise I will meet this person if I go down?" ”

"Humph! The lord has entrusted this city to me, and everything should be defended first! If you give me an order, I won't be able to leave the city!" Violators should be beheaded! Xu Rong snorted coldly.

"It's the general!" Bai Zhan was bored, and he didn't dare to raise the city again at the moment.

Yan Liangwen under the city screamed for a long time, but he never saw a reaction from the city, and finally had to return in vain. When he returned to the camp to meet Guo Tu, Yan Liang said: "Liu Bei's subordinates are actually the eight kings with shrunken heads!" I've been waiting for a long time, but no one dares to come to fight! ”

Guo Tu rolled his eyes, smiled at Yan Liang and said: "The general is mighty, then Liu Beijun must be afraid of the general's prestige and dare not go to war!" ”

Hearing Guo Tu's praise, Yan Liang laughed. Wen Chou on the side frowned and said, "If they have never been able to fight, will we not be able to attack?" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Guo Tu's mouth: "Then Liu Bei prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, if they still shouldn't fight tomorrow, then mobilize soldiers to loot the surrounding villages and towns, I want to see if he saves Liu Xuande, who claims to be benevolent and righteous, whether he saves or not!" Yan Liangwen glanced at each other and said in his heart: This can only be the case!

While they were discussing, Han Fei and his party returned to Nanpi City. As soon as he arrived in the city, Han Fei rushed to the Taishou Mansion non-stop, Xin Ping and Guan Yu were discussing in the mansion, and they were overjoyed to see Han Fei coming.

After a moment of greeting, Han Fei asked, "What is the current situation in Plains City?" ”

Xin commented and said: "Yan Liangwen Chou led 20,000 strong troops to attack Pingyuan City, and Guo Tu was the accompanying military division. Today he has come to the plains. ”

Han Fei nodded and said, "How many defenders are there in the city?" ”

"There are 6,000 defenders in the city, and if there is a real crisis, you can temporarily recruit thousands of young men to help defend the city." Guan Yu said out loud.

Han Fei said with a smile: "In this way, as long as General Xu Rong does not go out of the city to fight, then the Plains City will not be in much trouble!" ”

Xin Ping also agreed: "Pingyuan City has been overhauled, the city wall has been increased to five zhang, and there are enough arrows and weapons in the city, if Yuan Shaojun wants to attack it, he will definitely pay an extremely heavy price!" ”

Han Fei suddenly frowned and said, "If I were Yuan Shaojun's military division, I would definitely not storm this city, and then lure out the enemy army and then take the city!" ”

Xin Ping smiled when he heard this: "General Xu Rong has written to say that he will definitely refuse to defend the city, and he will definitely not leave the city." ”

Han Fei heard a cold light flashing in his eyes, and said slowly, "What if there is a reason why you have to go out of the city?" ”

"Zicong, do you mean ......" Xin Ping thought of a possibility, and his face changed instantly.

"Yes, I'm worried that Guo Tu will raid the villages and towns around the plains! Most of the defenders of Pingyuan City are the children of the surrounding peasant families, if the surrounding villages and towns are robbed, the military spirit will inevitably float to the point that General Xu Rong will not be able to suppress it at that time! Han Fei said faintly.
