Chapter 517: Yuan Shao agreed
"Lord Xu?" Seeing Xu You, Yan Liang's eyes lit up, he thought that he would probably spend the rest of his life in Bingzhou, but Xu You's arrival made him see hope.
As the general of Jizhou, Yan Lianghe had suffered such humiliation, many times Yan Liang wanted to die, but thinking of Yuan Shao's kindness, he still endured the huge humiliation in the dark corner, eating the leftovers, of course, hunger is the most important thing, and repaying Yuan Shao with a useful body is just a consolation for him to eat these hard-to-swallow meals.
If it is said that he will take refuge in the state army, Yan Liang will never choose, which is also the bottom line of being a military general.
"General Yan has suffered in the Bingzhou Army." Xu Yu also felt something.
"I hate those Hanoi families, there are more than enough successes and failures, otherwise this general will not be bullied by the Bingzhou army." Yan Liang's hatred in his heart was not the Bingzhou Army, if he admonished Yuan Shao to sneak attack the family in Dangyin City.
"General Yan, those people in Hanoi have been ordered to be executed by the lord, this official came this time, also for the general's business, since the general was captured, the lord is also anxious, the eldest prince has not less in front of the lord to talk about the general's bravery, if there is a general in Jizhou, how dare the Montenegrin army be so rampant." Xu Youdao.
Yan Liang didn't get any news while in prison: "What's wrong with the Black Mountain Army?" Isn't the Jizhou Army in the shadows? ”
Xu You's face showed a bitter face, "General Yan didn't know, after the lord led the army to break through the city of Dangyin, the Marquis of Jin led nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Dangyin, coinciding with the heavy rain for several days, the river rose, and the state army cut off the water flow, under a big water, there were only more than 1,000 people who followed the lord back to Jizhou, and the Black Mountain army also took the opportunity to plunder in Changshan, Zhongshan, and Zhao County. ”
Yan conscience was shocked, "In this way, the situation in Jizhou is very critical now. ”
"General Yan, this official came this time, one is to take the general back to Jizhou, and the other is to make peace with the Bingzhou army." Xu Yu said truthfully.
Yan Liang was silent for a moment and sighed: "Jizhou is defeated. In an instant, Yan Liang seemed to be much older, and even if he was defeated, his head was still high.
"After General Yan returns to Jizhou, he will definitely lead his troops and horses to sweep the Montenegrin army." Xu Youdao.
"That's how it should be." Yan Liang hugged his fists.
Yan Liang also knew that this was not the time to complain, defeat was defeat, if he returned to Jizhou, the most important thing to consider was how to redeem the disadvantage of the Jizhou army.
Two days later, the fast horse from Jizhou informed Xu Yu of the news that Yuan Shao brought back, Zhang Liao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Daijun, Yuan Shao realized the urgency of the situation, the analysis of the strategists is only one aspect, if the state army really attacks Jizhou, and then the Montenegrin army makes chaos from it, you can imagine what kind of situation Jizhou will become.
Not only did he send an envoy to ask for peace with Jizhou, but Yuan Shao also sent someone to Cao Cao for help, only if the Cao army showed the intention of attacking Hedong, the Bingzhou army would not attack Jizhou on a large scale, of course, if Cao Jun wanted to do so, he also needed to pay a certain price.
After reading the letter, Xu You understood what to do, although he didn't know why Yuan Shao was so anxious, it must be that the situation in Jizhou was very critical.
Yuan Tan led tens of thousands of troops with high morale, rushed straight to Zhongqiu, and after driving away the Montenegrin army, he just entered the city and got the news that nearly 50,000 Montenegrin troops were coming.
There were only more than 12,000 soldiers and horses in Zhongqiu City, but the number of the Black Mountain Army was increasing, obviously to completely trap the Jizhou Army in the city.
At this time, Yuan Tan also understood that he had fallen for Zhang Yan's scheme, and the Black Mountain Army was leading him to Zhongqiu step by step.
Zhongqiu is close to Changshan, but it is not close to Wei County, at this time, the Jizhou army is preparing for the state army to attack Jizhou, and there will be no extra troops to rush to Zhongqiu.
Full of calculations, at this time Yecheng soldiers and horses only 20,000 people, Yuan Tan was surrounded by the Montenegrin army in Zhongqiu after the news came, Yuan Shao was greatly shocked, at this time if the state army attacked Jizhou, it would definitely be a disaster for Jizhou, after getting the news from Xu You's order and the news that Zhang Liao led his troops to kill Wei County, Yuan Shao would easily agree.
Only after the retreat of the Bingzhou army did Yuan Shao dare to give it a go, and as for the envoy sent by Yang Feng, I am afraid it was also Zhang Yan's plan.
On the night he received the news, Xu You asked to see Lu Bu, he knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, if Lu Bu knew about the situation in Jizhou, Jizhou would definitely pay a greater low price.
"It's late at night, and Lord Xu hasn't slept yet, isn't he used to it in the city?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
Xu You arched his hand and said: "It is important to ask to see the Marquis of Jin, the enmity between Jizhou and the Merge State is all because of Youzhou, the Marquis of Ye is willing to make peace with the Merge Prefecture and become allies, and he can also give up Zhuo County and Guangyang County of Youzhou, but the Marquis of Jin needs to release General Yan Liang." ”
"Lord Xu, the stakes are very high, Ben Hou has to think about it, and then reply to Lord Xu tomorrow." Lu Budao.
"Humble resignation." Walking out of the tent, Xu You's expression suddenly became solemn, and he was in the tent just now, but he tried his best to control his eagerness.
As soon as Xu You left, Lu Bu ordered someone to invite Jia Xu.
After listening to Lu Bu's narration, Jia Xu was silent for a moment and said: "As expected, it must be that the situation in Jizhou is critical, otherwise Yuan Shao will not easily cede the land of Guangyang and Zhuojun, and in a few days, there will be news that if there are 30,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the lord, why worry about not pacifying Jizhou." ”
Such a favorable situation is because of the lack of strength of the Bingzhou army, which is very regrettable, which also has a great deal to do with the elite soldiers and strong generals that Lu Bu has always emphasized, and the treatment of the Bingzhou army is determined, and if the state wants to have more troops, it will pay several times the price of other princes.
"How do you reply to Xu You?" Lu Budao.
"The lord might as well agree, if the situation in Jizhou is unstable, it is not too late to send troops, if the Montenegrin army cannot succeed, even if the lord leads the troops to Jizhou, it will return in vain." Jia Xu said.
The next day, Xu You slowly finished eating, before going to the Chinese army tent, although last night he was a little eager, but also through Yuan Shao's letter he felt the danger of Jizhou, after returning to the residence, after thinking about it carefully, Xu You felt that something was wrong, if Lu Bu saw the urgency of Jizhou, it is difficult to guarantee that Jizhou will not be waved, if there is a merger of the state army from it, Jizhou will not plan to stabilize.
After receiving the promise, Xu Yu walked into the tent with a calm expression, and saluted respectfully: "Meet the Marquis of Jin." ”
Looking at Xu You, who was calm and relaxed, a smile appeared at the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, although Xu You pretended to be okay on the surface, under careful observation, he would find that his pace was a little anxious, and it was difficult to hide the worry between his eyebrows.
Taking care of his wife and children in the hospital, two watches are already the limit, and this is still the code word in the ward, woohoo.
