Yuan Shang is fox didn't fight, and he made a fuss.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers, Ju Yi and his 800 Xiandeng troops died cleanly.

The most important thing is: it caused the monstrous anger of Gongsun Kang. Ordered Qingzhou Zhang Liao and Youzhou Zhao Yun to hunt in Yecheng.

Yuan Shang urgently recalled Zhang He. At present, Gao Ran has surrendered to Liaodong, Yan Liangwen is far away in the state, and only Zhang He can take on the big responsibility.

The military advisor who followed Zhang Liao to Jizhou was Guo Jia, who was also Zhao Yun's old partner, and he could coordinate the second army.

Two years before Yecheng, it was flooded. It has now been fixed. But the story of Yuan Shang and Cao Cao's two defeats and injuries, how can Guo Jia forget?

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's troops arrived in Yecheng, Guo Jia suggested that they camp directly on a high place.

The soldiers and horses of Liaodong cut down all the trees in the high places and leveled the land. Set up camp.

It was repaired for two days, and then I went to Yecheng to challenge.

In Yuan Shang's place, there are many military generals. But the only one who can rival Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun is Zhang He.

Zhang He led people to fight, Zhang Liao fought with him alone, and fought more than 100 rounds on the first day, regardless of victory or defeat.

On the second day, Zhao Yun went out to fight, and after fifty rounds, he defeated Zhang He. Zhang He seized the road and fled, Zhao Yun did not kill Zhang He, but only led the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to kill and wound more than 2,000 Yuan soldiers.

Zhang He fled back to Yecheng and did not go to war again, and the offensive and defensive forces changed hands from then on. Now the soldiers and horses of Liaodong are aggressive, and the Yuan army is cowering in the city and will never fight.

Guo Jia made another suggestion: The soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Youzhou should each divide half and take the counties and counties of Jizhou.

Because Yuan Shang concentrated half of Jizhou's soldiers and horses in Yecheng, there were only county soldiers in each county and county, and there were no generals.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun led troops to surround Yecheng on all sides, and then each sent their lieutenants to lead troops and horses to attack the counties.

Yuan Shang felt that the grain stored in Yecheng was enough for 100,000 troops to eat for two years, so he was not worried about the soldiers and horses of Liaodong. Defend the city wholeheartedly.

Judging and matching, Feng Ji felt that Guo Jia was scheming, and he would lose if he kept it for a long time. persuaded Yuan Shang to go to the state.

Yuan Shang regards the two of them as teachers for judging and meeting. So although he was unwilling in his heart, he still sent someone to say to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun: I am willing to follow Yuan Xi's story and take the soldiers and horses of Jizhou to merge with the state.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun have no idea, it all depends on Guo Jia's meaning.

Guo Jia smiled coldly and said to Yuan Shang's envoy: "We let Yuan Xi go to Merge Prefecture a while ago, and we said that it was to open up territory for our Han family. Now two years have passed, and Yuan Xi has not built an inch. Don't say anything about expanding the territory, even the five counties such as Yanmen and Jiuyuan have not been recovered. It can be seen that the children of the Yuan family are incompetent! ”

The messenger was silent, and replied to Yuan Shang with a red face.

Yuan Shang was in a state of confusion, and repeatedly asked the military generals for advice.

Feng Ji said: "Don't panic, don't panic, it's better for me to find out Guo Jia's attitude." ”

Yuan Shang agreed to him, and Feng Ji came to the camp of the Liaodong army in a hurry.

Guo Jia still respects Feng Ji very much, and receives him with the etiquette between scholars, giving Feng Ji enough face.

Feng Ji first tried to see if the whole army could withdraw from Jizhou, but after being refused, he asked: "If we surrender, is Fengxiao willing to accept it?" ”

Guo Jia shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Except for Yuan Shang, the rest of the people can accept it." ”

Feng Ji sighed: "Why is Fengxiao so harsh on my little master? ”

"You can't live if you do your own evil" Guo Jia was still smiling, but his words were like knives: "Yuan Shang attacked my Liaodong land without authorization, provoked a war, caused thousands of lives to be ruined, and the people were trapped in fire and water, don't you need to give an explanation?" ”

Feng Ji wanted to say: Damn, you Liaodong didn't suffer a loss, but we Jizhou killed and wounded 60,000 soldiers, and Ju Yi, a general!

But Jizhou's role as an intruder is unquestionable and irrefutable.

He had to say from a different angle: "My lord is young, and he was bewitched by Cao Cao. ”

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Jizhou and Cao Cao have been fighting to the death for many years, and they have a common enmity, and now they can unite and invade Liaodong together." What else is there that you won't do? ”

Feng Ji was helpless, and said from another angle: "The Yecheng soldiers have enough food, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack it in one or two years, right?" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Open the Zhanghe River and flood the city, which can reach 200,000 soldiers!" ”

Feng Ji was startled, but still said toughly: "Since two years ago, after the flooding of Yecheng, Yecheng has raised the city wall and made a sewer, which can dredge the water. I am afraid that this strategy will not work again. ”

Guo Jia smiled silently and served tea to the guests.

As soon as Feng Ji returned to the city, Yuan Shang cried and said: "It's good that I'm still dead, after I die, all the generals can go to Liaodong to seek an official position and live." ”

Everyone was shocked, and they all knelt down and said, "The lord must not have such thoughts, if the lord commits suicide, we will never live alone, and we will definitely go with the lord." ”

Yuan Shang and his military generals are playing together, and they are all actors.

But for the strategy of breaking the enemy, there is no way but to defend the city.

Guo Jia had many ways to break the city, such as transporting hundreds of ballistae from Liaodong and bombarding them day and night, so that he could blast through the stone walls made of strong bluestone in Yecheng.

But he had a bad taste, and he had to experiment with flooding Yecheng.

He did not formally attack the city, but ordered the soldiers to use the cut down trees to surround Yecheng and erect a wall. Blocked the shooting of the soldiers in Yecheng.

Of course, there are not enough trees, and in fact, they only block the distance of a few hundred meters in front of it, and the other three sides are still separated by a few meters before there is a single log.

After the front was blocked, Guo Jia ordered the soldiers to start digging tunnels, and several main roads led to the moat.

After blocking one end of the moat and draining the water, the tunnel leads to the city wall of Yecheng.

With such a large-scale operation, it is natural that it cannot be concealed from the trial and discipline.

The judge ordered Yuan Jun to dig a trench in the city, close to the city wall, and put some large vats in the trench, and kept listening day and night. I am afraid that the Liaodong soldiers will dig into Yecheng.

Guo Jia actually buried a lot of explosives under the city wall, in order to blow up some big holes in the city wall, so that the water could flow in, instead of blowing up the city wall.

After the tunnel was dug through, Guo Jia made a lot of wooden rafts and tied them to the big wood that he had erected before. It is clear that the city is going to be flooded.

Yuan Shang and the others watched, but they were helpless. If he broke through, the high-headed horses of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry would obviously be able to slaughter Yuan Shang's infantry with impunity.

On this day, it was a blue sky and a white day, and Guo Jia gave an order, and dozens of places under the city wall were detonated.

There was a rumbling sound, and dozens of places of the ground sank, and large holes appeared under the city walls.

The little flag officer sent out another big firework. Colorful flowers are reflected in the sky.

The embankment of the Zhanghe River, two years later, was broken down again. The Liaodong soldiers used explosives to blow up a small gap at the top of the dam, and the big water behind the dam immediately rushed out, and soon the small gap became bigger and bigger, and the flood peak, which was several feet high, also roared and rushed towards Yecheng in the low-lying area.

The water of the Zhanghe River rushed to Yecheng with familiarity. The torrent did not break through the strong walls of Yecheng.

But the water poured into Yecheng along dozens of big holes under the city wall. The water level rises rapidly. Yuan Shang and the others climbed to the city wall again, just like two years ago.

This time, the Liaodong soldiers were all stationed on the plateau, and there was no impact in the slightest.

When the current was calm, the Liaodong Navy set up small boats and rafts and began to shoot from a distance.

The Yuan army fell in pieces, but they could not fight with the Liaodong soldiers.

Many soldiers shouted: "Willing to surrender!" ”。

The Liaodong soldiers did not have the energy to save them, but when they met those who were willing to surrender, they stopped shooting and rowed to the next place.

In this way, in a few days, thousands of Liaodong soldiers who knew how to water abused 100,000 Yuan troops. After the guards around them were shot, they were arrested by the soldiers of Liaodong.

Yuan Shang also wanted to surrender, and the Liaodong soldiers captured him in the camp. When Zhang Liao saw Yuan Shang, he laughed and said, "This little white face is eating for nothing!" We're not good men! You don't need him, just pull it out and cut it!"

As soon as this order was given, the judges, Feng Ji and others said together: I am willing to die with Yuan Shang!

Zhang Liao looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia waved the feather fan indifferently, and said, "Then let's cut it together!" ”。

In this way, Yuan Shang, Xianping, Feng Ji and others were beheaded together. The style of the literati can be seen.

On the contrary, the generals, large and small, including Zhang He, were unwilling to say the words of dying with Yuan Shang.

Zhang Liao smiled coldly and forced them to express their position, if they did not surrender immediately, they would be killed immediately, and no more food would be wasted.

In the end, the generals led by Zhang He surrendered one after another and threw themselves into the arms of the Liaodong family.
