"Lu Bu?" At this time, Yuan Shang was already a frightened bird, and when he heard that Lu Bu was going south, he thought that Yuan Tan had defeated Cao Cao, so he went south to prepare to encircle and suppress himself. Yuan Shang immediately decided to change his course! Don't go to Youzhou, go west, go to Bingzhou!

In fact, Yuan Shang was wrong. Lu Bu went south, not to encircle and suppress Yuan Shang, but to flee for his life.

A month ago, when Yuan Shang left Jixian County and went south to Yecheng to find the decisive battle of the Nanyang army, Cao Cao's plan to capture Youzhou was also officially launched.

Cao Cao first stormed Jixian County, pretending to be a decisive battle. After three days of siege, the camp was not collected, and suddenly the whole army retreated and went south. Yuan Tan and Lu Bu hurriedly summoned Chen Gong, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and other strategists to discuss countermeasures. After everyone discussed, they unanimously agreed that Cao Cao's previous posture was fake, and the purpose was to deter his side, so he could retreat calmly. As soon as the two sides combined, Lu Bu would definitely lead 3,000 flying bear troops and 15,000 foot soldiers out of the city to pursue, and there was no requirement to kill or damage Cao's army, at least Cao Cao could not be allowed to quickly return to Yuan Shang's aid.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao did not really retreat. Cao Cao set up an ambush in Zhuojun and fought a big battle with the pursuing Lü Bu army. In this battle, Cao's army was 20,000 and Lü Bu's army was 18,000, and the two sides were evenly matched. In terms of strength alone, Lu Bujun's army still has a little advantage. But Cao Junsheng succeeded in the ambush, and for this battle, Cao Cao was really desperate! He sent Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Cao Zhang and all other generals to fight. Dian Wei suffered more than a dozen wounds, and his blood stained his armor red, and he still entangled Lu Bu regardless of life and death, which became another key factor in Cao's victory. At the last moment of the battle, Cao Cao drew his sword and led the guard battalion to launch a life-threatening attack on Lü Bu's Chinese army. The morale of Cao's army was greatly boosted, and Lü Bu's army began to retreat one after another. Seeing that the situation was inviolable, Lu Bu finally chose to give up. But Cao Jun blocked Lu Bu's way back to Jixian County, and Lu Bu had no choice but to go south, so there was this scene where Yuan Shang met Lu Bu by chance. This was a real chance encounter, but Yuan Shang was so shocked that he didn't dare to go to Youzhou.

After Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu in Zhuo County, he joined forces with the Qingzhou soldiers of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong who came from the plains, attacked more than 40,000 people, and attacked Ji County day and night. Yuan Tan didn't have much foundation in Jixian County, and he lacked more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Lu Bu, and after holding on for half a month, he broke through and walked all the way to the northeast.

Yuan Shang ran to Bingzhou to vote for Gao Gan, Yuan Tan ran to Liaodong to vote for Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao made a desperate gamble and succeeded, got rid of Yuan's constraints, and captured Zhuo County, Guangyang County, Bohai County, Yuyang County and Shanggu County and other most of Youzhou, which can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Yecheng was besieged by the Nanyang army for three months, and Yuan Shang's reinforcements were never seen. The food and grass in the city have been exhausted, and the terrible phenomenon of killing people and eating has appeared among the people.

"Judging the south, the March covenant has arrived, hurry up and surrender! Yuan Xianfu can't be the opponent of the general, so you have to die! "Yecheng Changshi Mansion, Tian Feng is bitterly admonishing and admonishing. Since the beginning of this month, this is the tenth time that Tian Feng has appeared in the Changshi Mansion. Every time, Tian Feng came to exhort the trial to surrender. Tian Feng is not a member of the Nanyang Army, everything he does is for the lives of 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Yecheng. After Yuan Shao's defeat of Zhongmu, Tian Feng saw that Yuan's power had flourished and declined. Later, Yuan Shao's death and the rivalry between the brothers of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang made Tian Feng see the unstoppable decline of the Yuan family. Now Tian Feng has already resigned from all his positions, whether it is Yuan Shang's invitation or Yuan Tan's invitation, he will not accept it. He packed up his belongings and wanted to return to his hometown Julu to open a academy and teach and educate people. I never thought about it, but I encountered Jia Xu and Wei Yan's Fucha army besieging the city and being blocked in Yecheng. He can't control the life or death of Yuan Jun, but he can't abandon the life and death of 500,000 people in Yecheng. Fortunately, Tian Feng's previous personal relationship with the trial was acceptable.

"The first lord has the grace of knowing the trial, and the young master entrusts the entire Yuan family and the entire Yecheng to the trial to be in charge, how can the trial match enshrine Yecheng's hands to the enemy? There is no retribution for the trial, only one death, in the name of living up to loyalty! The judge replied with a righteous face. For reinforcements, there is not much hope for trial. Now he has obviously made up his mind to fight the Nanyang Army to the end.

"Hypocrisy!" Tian Feng scolded, "In order to fulfill your loyalty, you want to drag 500,000 Yecheng people to your funeral!" Where is your conscience? “

"Humph! Did Brother Yuan Hao make the wrong question? Now, is it the Nanyang Army besieging the people of Yecheng? It is also the Nanyang Army who wants to starve the people of Yecheng to death? You are just a little long history, and you are guarding Yecheng on the orders of the lord. Obey the order and protect your loyalty, how can you get into the mouth of your Tian Yuanhao, and you can do something unjust? The judge retorted.

"The words of the sages say that a gentleman should put the world first. What is the world? There are talented people in the world. You watched those people starve to death without food, and you still had the face to say that you were for loyalty? Tian Feng's index finger almost poked the judge's face.

The judge opened Tian Feng's index finger and said in annoyance: "I have made up my mind, Yuan Hao doesn't want to waste his tongue again!" Someone, send off! “

The judge didn't want to fight with Tian Feng in vain, so he issued an eviction order outside the door.

The door of the study opened, but it was not the personal guards who came in, but Yuan Shang's Yecheng who stayed behind in Luyi.

The judge was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is the koji staying here?" “

Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "The last general is here to persuade Lord Changshi!" It's unwise to know that you can't do it! “

The judge was angry and sneered: "Does a martial artist dare to reason with me?" “

"The truth is in the hearts of the people! Lu Yi is not smart, he just wants to ask for a way to live for his brothers! The grain and grass are exhausted, and continuing to hold on to Yecheng is only a dead end! If we provoke a rebellion among the people of the city, we will be left with no bones! “

"The people are rioting?" The judge sneered, "What can those unarmed people do? “

"They can do a lot of things, like cannibalism!" Lu Yi's answer was the same as his person, cold and arrogant.

As soon as he heard about cannibalism, the judge was startled. After all, there are nearly 500,000 people in Yecheng, if there is really a riot, can his 30,000 Jizhou soldiers resist the winner? The most important thing is that the soldiers have no food to eat, how can they resist?

After judging the judgment, he said, "Don't be alarmist! There is a large army in the city, and the people dare to riot? ”

"When people are hungry, their eyes will turn green, and they will eat anything they see!" Lu Yi said firmly, "Believe me, Lord Changshi, the parents of the last general were hungry and the people ate them. “

"Huh?" The judge and Tian Feng stared at Lu Yi's eyes at the same time.
