Chapter 1785: The Battle of Shouchun (66)

Yuan Yao pouted, he really didn't expect his father to come up with this kind of means to force him to leave in order to let him leave, so that he had to leave even if he didn't want to leave.

And more importantly, when his father asked Yuan Hui to come over, he may have thought of various possibilities and results, but in his calculations, he would never refuse, which shows that he knows very well that the result of anyone coming over now except Yuan Hui will not be too high.

Rather than letting others waste time, it is better to let Yuan Hui come directly, even if he can't negotiate, he will immediately let himself pay the price for willfulness, and such a price, he doesn't want it to happen, Yuan Yao can't bear to appear, so his father has been invincible from the beginning.

"Brother, you're leaving, going to Jizhou?"

Yuan Hui is not stupid, Yuan Yao's current performance, although it doesn't mean that he is leaving, but such a peaceful battle, isn't it that he has made plans to leave early in the morning, maybe the saint is really thinking too much, or Yuan Yao has already prepared for both hands, staying or leaving, and now he is just waiting for a result.

It's just that his performance just now is more like wanting to stay, but he really wants to stay, and he won't be persuaded so easily, even if they are brothers, so the more critical part of this is his personal will that plays a decisive role, and this may be his true thoughts.

Yuan Hui, who had thought a lot in his heart for a moment, looked at Yuan Yao, and then whispered, "Brother wants to stay and make the last meager effort for Shouchun, and Brother wants to leave, but he doesn't want to go to Jizhou." Yuan Hui said quietly, not wanting to secretly observe his reaction When he said the last few words, especially when he said that he didn't want to go to Jizhou, he clearly saw a change in his expression, which made him sure of his thoughts, and it was as he expected.

"Jizhou." Yuan Yao shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe." Yuan Yao didn't know where the entanglement in his heart was, but he understood that it would be too difficult to come back again, or that he would not have a chance to see his father again, he knew what it meant to go, and at the same time he also understood what it meant to go.

Uncle Yuan Shao, but where did he take refuge, thinking of this, Yuan Yao's hands couldn't help but clasp together, his hands trembled, his heart was very excited, very unwilling, unconvinced to admit defeat, but it was helpless by the general trend.

So he had no choice, so even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only leave, precisely because he understood that there was no point in staying, rather than dying in Shouchun, it was better to live in Jizhou, at least his uncle could ensure that he was prosperous and rich in this life.

"That's probably what the Son of Heaven thinks." After hearing Yuan Yao's words, Yuan Hui expressed his apologies deeply.

"Brother."

"Huh?"

"You don't have to mind, maybe you and I have different identities, but there is only one reason why I left, that is, I don't want my family to be harmed, and since you stayed, stay for me, do your filial piety for me, and kill the enemy for me!"

"Brother, don't worry!" Yuan Hui said very easily, and from his reaction, it could be seen that maybe he knew the danger of Shouchun now, but he was still too optimistic, so he couldn't really understand the meaning of these words, Yuan Yao nodded: "Remember my words, don't forget!" ”

Yuan Yao didn't know what to say again, because no matter what he said, it was powerless and empty, even if there were a thousand words, it was him who faced the danger and not himself, so his concern was meaningless, patted him on the shoulder, and said a final silent goodbye.

"Brother, are you leaving?" The moment he left, perhaps because he was about to leave, Yuan Hui's eyes turned red instantly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said these few words, and Yuan Yao nodded, which was an answer.

Yuan Hui held back his tears, at this moment, even if he was an iron-clad man, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, he didn't know when he would see him again, he didn't know if it was in Jizhou or Shouchun next time, at this moment he shed tears like a fool, and his unstoppable tears were like showers, he turned his back and secretly wiped his tears.

"Brother, don't be like this, we will definitely meet again!" Yuan Yao said excitedly.

Yuan Hui nodded heavily and choked up: "Brother, you must take care of yourself, I am still waiting for the next time we meet, and I will have a drink with you!" ”

~~~~~~~~

Yuan Yao left, and led his family to Xuzhou, but after defeating Ji Ling, Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao suddenly received an order from Liu Lan to stop attacking Shouchun.

Liu Lan understands the truth of guarding the river and guarding Huai before anyone else, so he is more eager to get Shouchun than anyone else, in fact, it can be seen from the three major governors he set up, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici, that this is completely for the future defense of Huainan.

So if he chooses between Shouchun and Lujiang, Liu Lan prefers the latter, if he has to send troops, then he would rather stand firm in Lujiang first, as for Shouchun, and then think about it, of course, he may compete with Cao Cao later, but then he has more choice, because Lujiang is in his own hands.

Of course, if according to Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw's plan, they want to besiege the city and send reinforcements, this attention is good, but if Lujiang does not come to help, the consequence may be to fight Shouchun, run Liu Xun, and leave such a disaster in Lujiang, the gains outweigh the losses, on the contrary, if Lujiang is defeated, it will inevitably deter Yuan Shu, does he still have the determination to defend Shouchun?

So will there be a possibility of Shou Chun surrendering directly?

Although this probability is small, it is definitely more advantageous than directly attacking Shouchun, and Cao Cao's side is also variable, how long can their alliance last?

What's more, what will be the reaction of the besieged Shouchun's main force after learning of Yuan Shu's defeat, Liu Lan also has to think about it, so Shouchun is not in a hurry, it is not good for him to be anxious, it is best to stalemate like this, and wait for him to completely control Lujiang, and then it is not too late to make a decision on whether to attack Shouchun or give up Shouchun through the progress of the situation on Cao Cao's side.

The order was issued, Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao naturally carried it out unconditionally, of course, the key is that the decision made by the center is not a stupid trick, but the best choice at the moment, otherwise the two of them may really make a decision that will not be subject to military orders abroad.

And on the side of Lujiang, because of Yuan Shu's order. Liu Xun is ready to rush to the aid of Shouchun, of course, he is just ready, as for when to leave and when to arrive is another matter.

Liu Xun praised Haikou, the key is that he didn't think Yuan Shu would agree, but now that Yuan Shu agreed, it put him in a dilemma, if he really went, it would obviously be to send him to death, and if he didn't go, he would be disrespectful, so he could only deal with this matter in his own way.

Liu Xun has not sent troops for a long time, and even has been deniing that the last few days are not auspicious days of the zodiac, so he has been staying in Lujiang, and more than ten days have passed like this.

The bell and drum of Lujiang City were suddenly struck, and the two of them stood up immediately, the bell and drum tower of Lujiang has a bell that signals the time on weekdays, and there are also drums when danger comes, but the drum of the Lujiang Bell and Drum Tower has not sounded for many years, so Yuan Jian is the person who instantly knows that there is an enemy in Lujiang, on the other hand, Liu Xun is a little stunned in place, this drum may be too unfamiliar to him, he needs to distinguish and judge carefully,

In the next moment, the appearance of the captain of the city gate made him not have to be sure whether his judgment was correct, because the most accurate news had already been reported to Liu Xun through the mouth of the captain of the city gate for the first time.

Why did Xuzhou's troops appear in Lujiang! Didn't they go to Shouchun? Liu Xun started to scold when he got out of the house, he knew that the real danger was coming, Nana's, this time Lujiang was dangerous, he was dangerous.

Liu Xun hurriedly came towards the city tower, and met Ji Ling in the middle of the road, if he was going to relieve Shouchun, then Ji Ling couldn't wait to see his good show, but what is the situation now, a bad one will affect the innocent, so where can he still calm down, come to see him as soon as possible, after all, once Lujiang is not guaranteed, then he will also be in danger.

Ji Ling came in a hurry, looking at him neatly draped, wearing heavy fish scale armor, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, this outfit, the two old friends for many years also disappeared for this moment because of the previous unhappiness: "Brother, the military situation is urgent, I won't say much about polite words, take your more than 10,000 men and horses with me to the north gate to investigate!"

"That's what I mean." After Ji Ling finished speaking, after Liu Xun turned over and got on his horse, he quickly led his troops to the north gate.

~~~~~~~~

Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw walked at the front of the team first, and behind them was the Xuzhou army that could not be seen at a glance, waving flags, neighing war horses, and resolute faces, full of urgent anticipation for the next battle.

"General, ten miles ahead is Lujiang City."

"The troops are moving faster, and it is important to set up camp before dark."

Zhang Jaw gave the order to march quickly, and then looked at Zhang Liao and said: "Wenyuan, this battle of Lujiang will be handed over to me, your cavalry is ready to capture prisoners, and finally capture Liu Xun and Ji Lingtong alive!" ”

The two had the experience of joint operations during the Battle of Jiujiang, and this time the division of labor and cooperation was not a problem.

"This time, saying anything won't let Ji Ling escape again." Zhang Liao looked at the direction of the Lujiang River in the distance with cold eyes, before they pursued Shouchun all the way. Only then did Ji Ling escape, this time it won't, he will definitely lay a net of heaven and earth, so that he can't escape!

When the Xuzhou army arrived at the Lujiang River, Ji Ling and Liu Xun also climbed the city tower together, and looked high on the city tower, and the two of them could clearly see the Xuzhou army that appeared at the end of the horizon, at least fifty or sixty thousand people.

They know the number of the Xuzhou army, and the troops that appear now are also in line with what Ji Ling said, looking at them getting closer and closer, Liu Xun can even see the big characters on the flag of the Chinese army.

Jaw, Zhang Liao!

This battle is extremely difficult, whether they can hold Lujiang is related to their lives and safety, but their current army is only 20,000 people, if they want to defend Lujiang, it does not seem easy.

"Liu Taishou rest assured, the so-called ten are encircled, five are attacked, and the 50,000-strong Xuzhou army wants to take down the Lujiang River, which is so easy!" Ji Ling said confidently, these words came from his heart, of course, under the current situation, how could he say it if he didn't say this?

The Xuzhou army was getting closer and closer to Lujiang, and the troops stopped at the moment when they were about to arrive at Lujiang.

On the city tower, compared to Liu Xun with a solemn face, Ji Ling seemed relatively much more relaxed, a town with 50,000 people fighting 20,000 defenders would not be easy at all, if it was commanded properly, it would be completely possible to repel them.

Of course, if there is a variable, it may be Zhang Liao, Ji Ling has fought with him and knows how powerful he is, so he has lingering feelings about him, if there is really any variable, he is the one who must be careful.

Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao came to the city of Lujiang, shouting at the old opponent above the city tower, in the face of the provocation of the two, Liu Xun did not show weakness at all,

opened his jaw, and Zhang Liao even raised Po Tiange and pointed at Ji Ling: This time, I will cut off your head with my own hands!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The moment Zhang Liao broke the sky and fell, the 50,000 Xuzhou troops shouted almost at the same time, and the sound of killing soared into the sky, shaking the sky and the earth, and the momentum was extraordinary.

50,000 people roared at the same time, it was spectacular to think about, and the thick sound, with an oppressive and pressing momentum, instantly made the defenders above the city tower tremble.

The first to seize people, it seems that the current situation of the defenders is really not good, one by one is terrified, it feels as if the Xuzhou army has captured the Lujiang River, and they are about to crush them into powder.

"Haha, I'll give you Zhang Liao's words as well, let's see who takes down whose head in the end!" Ji Ling laughed loudly, and the people named him, if he didn't respond at this time, it would be a great blow to morale, and the response he made, although the effect was average, but at least the defenders on the city tower were no longer as godless as they were just now.

"Zhang Liao, if you have the ability, you will defeat the Lujiang River, if you can't do it, don't talk big, my tens of thousands of defenders of the Lujiang River will let you know the real death!"

Lujiang is the seat of Lujiang County, the city is high and the walls are thick, but it is not that it can be broken down, not to mention 50,000 people in Xuzhou, even if there are 50,000 more, if you want to fight Lujiang, you have to pay a great price, and he is only 50,000 people now, this point of people, don't say that Lujiang has been captured, and you may not even be able to attack the city tower!

Ji Ling said and laughed: "The Xuzhou army who don't know whether you are alive or dead, if you don't believe it, come to attack the city, grandpa is waiting for you!" ”

Before, Ji Ling just let the defenders stop the chaos, and at this moment all the defenders recovered as before, they believed in Ji Ling's words, yes, the Xuzhou army dared to attack the city, then let them have no return!

The Xuzhou army was agitated, and when everyone thought that the siege was in the next moment, the Xuzhou army retreated, and then they saw the Xuzhou army begin to camp.

It seems that Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao are ready to fight me for a long time, and it seems that we are also ready for a protracted war.
