Chapter 113: Changes in the Empty City
Zhang Fei, who was chased all the way, just got out of the scorched earth, he avoided Youzhou City and galloped in another direction, Zhang Fei is not stupid, he will not put his life in danger for a gamble, after all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and no matter how much he can fight, he can't stop the crushing of tens of thousands of troops.
Seeing the direction of Zhang Fei's escape, Yuan Shao was still a little surprised, and after looking at Youzhou City from afar, he saw that the gate of Youzhou City was wide open, and there was no figure sitting in it, like an empty city, and suddenly Yuan Shao understood a little, why Zhang Fei didn't run to the city, I am afraid that Youzhou City has been abandoned at this time.
With anticipation, as if seeing the opportunity for himself to break away from Xu Zisheng, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered someone to arrest all the spies that Xu Zisheng had inserted, and then stopped paying attention to Zhang Fei, and hurriedly rushed to Youzhou City with the army.
As soon as he entered the city, Yuan Shao was poured a basin of cold water, and the gates of Youzhou City had been destroyed and almost burned to a charcoal heap.
I wanted to use the power of Youzhou to completely get rid of Xu Zisheng and even defeat him, but the reason for it to disappear, Youzhou City, which has no city gate, is really an unwise choice to use it to confront the Dong army, which is now strong and strong, and will only dig its own grave.
Yan Liang obviously also discovered this, but it was not good to step forward and say something, after all, it depended on Yuan Shao's own thoughts.
Time was not waiting, ruthless, Yuan Shao turned around and glanced at Xu Zisheng's spies who were caught with his eyes, and then made a movement to wipe Yan Liang's neck.
Yan Liang, who knew about it, nodded, and left the army with these spies and entered the scorched earth Dazhong, and soon after a few screams, Yan Liang rushed back and returned to Yuan Shao's side.
Looking at Youzhou City in front of him, Yuan Shao didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly issued an order to enter Youzhou City, and he had already made plans to use Youzhou City as a base to resist the preparation of the Dong army led by Xu Zisheng, as long as he insisted until Yuan Shu led the troops to arrive, everything was already a foregone conclusion.
The Yuan army had already moved towards Youzhou City, and Xu Zisheng just ordered the whole army to be ready to set off at all times, and did not mean to follow immediately, planning to let Yuan Jun and the defenders of Youzhou City first consume each other, and then clean up the battlefield.
Xu Zisheng, who had a very good wishful thinking, never thought that Mo Shuyan would abandon the city with Liu Bei's defenders, there was no battle at all, and now the spies sent were also slaughtered by Yuan Shao, and in a short period of time, Xu Zisheng would not get a little news about Youzhou City.
On the other side, Yuan Shao's heralds, who Xu Zisheng deliberately let go, had already rushed to Yuan Shu's territory day and night, and conveyed Yuan Shao's news to Yuan Shu before he was exhausted.
Soon, Yuan Shu began to send troops under the pretext of aiding his brother, but instead of rushing to Youzhou City as the herald said, he went straight to Jizhou City, obviously not wanting to lose more soldiers and horses to take Jizhou, why bother to fight to the death for the Dong army led by Yuan Shao and Xu Zisheng.
At this time, on another piece of land, Dong Zhuo had already sent another army under the temptation of Xu Zisheng, led by Lu Bu, and went straight to Jizhou, about a day earlier than Yuan Shu was about to set off.
The unpredictable situation has begun to show its hideousness, and Sun Jian of Jiangdong and Liu Biao of Jingzhou are already ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to send troops to join this chaotic war of princes.
