Chapter 154: The Siege of Yecheng

Liu He led the army out of Shangdang County to govern the eldest son city, passing through Tunliu, Huguan, and Lu counties along the way, and then entered the country, came to Wei County of the Jizhou Thorn History Department, and went to Yecheng along the main road.

However, when he was still more than 100 miles away from Yecheng, Xun You, who had the skill of "virtual and real", suddenly changed his complexion, and said solemnly to Liu He: "Lord, and march slowly, you can sense that a big battle is taking place near Yecheng, and the comparison of the strength of the two sides of the war is still a little different. And it's also a siege of superior forces! If you think about it this way, Yuan Shao must not be in Yecheng, in this way, I am afraid that if we go to Yecheng now, not only will we not see Yuan Shao, but we will also encounter the siege of superior forces, which is not a good thing for us. ”

After listening to this, Liu He pondered silently for a moment, and then asked, "In this case, I don't know what Gongda thinks we should do?" ”

I saw Xun You said: "We will temporarily station the army here, send spies to pay close attention to Yuan Shao's movements, since Yecheng is besieged, I believe that Yuan Shao will definitely lead the army to counterattack in the short term, as long as we get the news of the arrival of Yuan Shao's army, we can lead the army to cooperate with Yuan Shao to rescue Yecheng, so that we can not only get the reputation of rescuing Yecheng with as little loss as possible, but also be kind to Yuan Shao, so that he agrees to form an alliance with us because of gratitude." ”

Liu He nodded when he heard this, then looked at Guo Jia again, and asked, "I don't know what Feng Xiao thinks?" ”

I saw Guo Jia also nodded and said: "Jia thinks that what Gongda said is very true, but Jia thinks that we can't wait passively like this, first send spies to find out what the situation in Yecheng is, if the enemy's combat power is not strong, or if there is an opportunity, we will easily relieve the siege of Yecheng, in this way Yuan Shao will definitely be more grateful to us, Jia was in Yuan Shao's army in the past, knowing that this person likes his young son Yuan Shang the most, if the lord saves his wife and children, he will definitely be grateful to the lord, not to mention the joint Black Mountain Army, It is not impossible to destroy Gongsun Zan in the future. Of course, if the Yecheng thieves are powerful, there is no need for us to fill in the lives of our loyal and brave soldiers for the sake of the so-called city favor. ”

Liu He nodded again and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very reasonable, in this case, we will first send a capable spy to find out the reality of the siege of Yecheng thief army, if there is really a chance, then we will easily relieve the siege of Yecheng, but in view of the fleeting warplane, I suggest that the army advance to a distance of thirty miles from Yecheng, in this case, we can ride a horse, and it only takes half an hour to reach Yecheng." ”

Liu He thought that Xun You and Guo Jia would refuse this matter, but they all nodded in agreement, and praised Liu He for his extraordinary courage together.

Although the two of them are super wise men with an intelligence of more than 110, it stands to reason that they should be worthy of praise from them, but Liu He did not show such an expression, but led the army to continue on the road, and when there were still thirty miles away from Yecheng, he stopped, set up camp, and then carefully selected a dozen Bai Yu soldiers who were good at investigating, and asked them to go to investigate the situation in Yecheng.

After only half a day, two spies came back, they gasped and said: "Lord, the villain and others have not disgraced their mission, and have found out the details of Yecheng, the main attack here is the Black Mountain Army, a large part of Yu Poison's men and horses, and gathered more than 30,000 people from Zuo Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Huanglong, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen and other departments, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's army not in Yecheng, led the army to capture Yecheng, and captured Yuan Shao and his subordinates' families, ready to use this to threaten, Yuan Shao was asked to agree to form an alliance with them and jointly attack Hanoi and Shangdang. ”

"What? How could these guys come up with such a poisonous plan? I haven't seen you for three days, and I'm really impressed. This is also thanks to our timely investigation, and we did not have the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, otherwise, I am afraid that when Yuan Shao is threatened, it is very likely that he will agree to unite with those guys, and at that time, we will suffer an unwarranted disaster. ”

Hearing the spy's words, Pan Feng couldn't help but speak at first, but then he saw Xun You's face flushed, and he suddenly knew that this sentence was a bit of an insinuation that Xun You was not very thoughtful, so he made amends to Xun You: "Master Xun, I didn't mean that, I was just saying that those guys in the Black Mountain Army were so cunning and came up with such a vicious strategy......"

Pan Feng didn't know that it would be fine if he didn't apologize, but now this apology has made Xun You even more faceless, but Xun You can't say anything, after all, what he was worried about at the beginning was really not so thorough, so the whole person is even more embarrassed now.

Liu He pressed Pan Feng's shoulder, signaled him to stop talking, and then frowned and asked, "Isn't Yu Poison fighting with Zhang Yang in Chaoge?" But why did you come here again? Could it be that Zhang Yang had an accident? Gongda, can you see through the truth and the truth, can you explain it to me? ”

Liu He's words to change the topic can be said to be extremely wonderful, and he even resolved Xun You's embarrassment, and then quietly made Xun You the core that everyone can rely on again.

I saw Xun You frowning and staring into the distance for a moment, and then fell to his feet and sighed: "The last general can feel that the situation in Hanoi is very bad, and there is a murderous aura in the wild king, it is estimated that Zhang Yang has suffered a catastrophe, and Zhang Yang has always been the emperor of Kuanren, it is estimated that the thieves who stayed behind in the wild king rebelled, killed Zhang Yang, and then united with the Black Mountain thieves, but the thieves did not attack our Hedong and Shangdang, but attacked Yecheng, it is estimated that there are people loyal to Zhang Yang in these two places guarding, or someone lures them to attack Yecheng, and then gives them ideas, In order to coerce Yuan Shao to agree to the terms of an alliance with him, and then work together against us. ”

"Hehe, Xun Junshi is as clever as a god, I said that it is the same, because I know that those few people in the Black Mountain Army know that they definitely don't have such brains", Pan Feng offended Xun You by saying it before, and he was worried in his heart, and now when he saw Xun You say this, he naturally jumped out first to flatter, but then he thought of a key point, frowned and asked: "It's just, who is making up ideas for them?" ”

Yes, who is behind the scenes to advise the Montenegrin army? Everyone was lost in thought for a moment.

Guo Jia had an indifferent expression, looked up and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Liu He sneered: "If it is true that Zhang Yang was killed, then the traitors will definitely not take refuge in us, after all, we are allies, and at the same time, we have not taken refuge in Yuan Shao, because if they do, they will never attack Yecheng." Since this is the case, then the matter is very clear, because in their vicinity, there is only one one left who is relatively strong. ”

"Cao Cao?" At this time, even Pan Feng figured it out, and suddenly said in a lost voice: "Won't it?" Cao Cao is an official and an army, and he is nominally friendly with the lord, how could he have such a mind? ”

But Guo Jia and Xun You on the side were silent, because they knew deeply that in this troubled era, the so-called friendship and even alliances are unreliable, only interests come first, and now Liu He's power is developing so fast, and Cao Cao can't deal with him alone, so he will naturally be jealous of Liu He, and now those thieves finally surrender to Cao Cao, Cao Cao naturally wants to make a big fuss from it and find a way to weaken Liu He's power.

"Hmph, Cao Cao, don't be complacent, sooner or later, sooner or later, you will pay for it." Looking at the southeast direction where Cao Cao was, Liu He's eyes were full of anger and said silently.
