Chapter 22 Yuan Shao betrays the alliance, and Yijing besieges the city
Tian Jing stayed in Xiangping for two days, and waited for everything to be discussed with Lu Yu before he said goodbye and prepared to return to Youzhou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he left four of the eight personal soldiers around him to protect Lu Yu's safety, and Lu Yu felt a little more grateful to Tian Jing in his heart.
Before leaving, Tian Jing bought two good Liao ginseng in the pharmacy in Xiangping, but fortunately, people did not regard ginseng as a very expensive tonic product at that time, and the price was not very expensive.
Tian Jing and his entourage of five returned to Youzhou, and the journey was smooth, and they did not encounter the interrogation of the Wuhuan people. Tian Jing returned to Xu Wushan, but found that the defense was much tighter than when he left. I thought to myself, if something happened, how could I strengthen the defense.
When Tian Jing entered Dazhai and asked his father, he learned that Jizhou and Youzhou were at war again. Yuan Shao took advantage of Youzhou to withdraw the border defenses, and without preparation, he led an army of 100,000 troops to trap Yijing. Li Kang and Leping sent someone to inform Tian Jing and asked him to find a way. Now the situation in the entire Youzhou is very dangerous, and all counties are trying to find ways to protect themselves. The entire Youzhou could not organize effective resistance at all.
Tian Jing shouted when he heard this, "Yuan Shao is shameless, trapping me in an unrighteous place!" Come on, prepare the horses, we hurry to Yijing. ”
Tian Chou stopped Tian Jing, "Don't worry, kid, first figure out the ins and outs of the matter before making a decision not to eat, it won't help you to rush to Yijing in a hurry." ”
Tian Jing then tried to find a way to calm himself down. Then he called the people sent by Li Kang and Leping to deliver the news for questioning, and only then did he know the details of the matter. It turned out that after signing the alliance with Jizhou that day, Jizhou took the lead in withdrawing 20 miles and dismantling the border camps. Youzhou saw that Jizhou really made a truce, and also withdrew all the soldiers on the border. But the situation in Youzhou is different, more than ten years of war, the soldiers have been straining a string in their hearts, this time as soon as the troops are withdrawn, both the grassroots generals and soldiers think that the confrontation with Jizhou is completely over, and they are all relaxed. When they returned to the counties where they were garrisoned, most of them went home to reunite with their relatives, and a few of the garrisons also put their swords and guns in storage, and they put their horses in Nanshan, completely relaxing their vigilance.
Jizhou Yuan Shao didn't seem to have planned to make peace with Gongsun Zan from the beginning, and Tuotian Jing's peace talks were for this purpose. After the spies in Jizhou discovered the true situation in Youzhou, they immediately launched an attack on all fronts. The presiding officer of the peace talks, who was on the front line, was actually the commander-in-chief of the crusade against Youzhou. With the overseers in question, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran as the main generals, completed the siege of Yijing in just three days, and knew the defense of the surrounding counties. And at the beginning of the war, Yuan Shao's reinforcements had already marched north from Yecheng, Yan Liangwen Chou commanded 20,000 troops as the vanguard, and Yuan Shao led 30,000 horses and horses of the Chinese army to Yijing with countless siege equipment. Along the way, there were no less than 100,000 auxiliary soldiers who transported food and wages, and people who were temporarily conscripted for labor. That is, Jizhou has such a large capital.
If Gongsun Chan had dealt with it properly at the beginning, there would have been a turnaround, but unfortunately he made three fatal mistakes in succession. First, instead of sending someone to Jixian for help, he deprived Gongsun Fan of his command before the war and let him go home to recuperate; second, when the surrounding counties called for help, they did not send troops to rescue, and watched the city break; Third, he wanted to gather soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with Jizhou, but the soldiers were tired of fighting, and many of them did not return, but later they wanted to retreat and flee to Jixian County, but missed the best time to retreat.
Now outside Yijing City, Jizhou Terracotta is three layers outside the three layers, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses besieging the city alone. It seems that Yuan Shao wants to finish his work this time.
Tian Chou frowned after hearing this, and was at a loss, and said, "Son, my father knows that you are nervous about your little brothers, but now you can't do anything?" ”
Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "Even so, I still can't help but go." The father's children are not filial and can not serve you and your mother, these two good sea cucumbers are very good for the mother's body, you let the current regular decoction, take good care of the body. I'm going to pack my bags and go. The method is always thought of by people, even if it doesn't work, I have to think of a few of Leping, Li Kang and a few of them to come out, and it's a big deal to talk to Yuan Shao about the deal when the time comes. At least I'm still useful to him now, so I'm not afraid of what he's doing to me. ”
Tian Chou heard this, "That's all it takes, kid, remember my father's words, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't worry; Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, don't be impulsive! ”
Tian Jing agreed to his father, packed up all his belongings, and rode back to Yijing on a fast horse with his own soldiers and the soldiers who came to report the news.
On the way, Tian Jing thought about it for a while, and went to Jixian County first, asking to see Gongsun Fan, hoping that he would come out to organize soldiers and horses to defend the city, and at the same time send troops to the surrounding counties to create conditions for Yijing to break through.
How did he know that when he arrived in Jixian County, Gongsun Fan avoided it. Later, Tian Jing forcibly broke in and took advantage of him. Gongsun Fan said, "My own eldest brother refuses to believe me, and who else in this world can believe me." I was born and died for him, but he was afraid that I would take away his son's Youzhou inheritance. In the end, it only achieved the wolf ambition of Yuan Shao, a thief? Hahaha, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy! ”
Tian Jing thought of various possibilities, but he never thought of them. He wanted to leave, but he was a little unwilling. Before leaving the door, he said, "Have you ever thought that those brothers who were born with you like death may all die in this battle?" Have you ever thought that those you have loved and loved may be relegated to the army or reduced to slaves by Yuan Shao after the war? Have you ever thought that after you die, if your name remains in the memory of others, there are only words like shame, coward, greed for life and fear of death, and ingratitude? I'm not from the Gongsun family, and my parents, wife, and children aren't here, but I'm going to take these people around me to Yijing, because there are my most important brothers there! Tian Jing said that he left without looking back, leaving Gongsun Fan alone stunned on the spot.
Now guarding Jixian County is a civilian official, let him pull thousands of men and horses and Tian Jing south, he does not have the courage, nor does he have the courage. And Tian Jing also knew that Gongsun Fan had given up, and his morale was not much better. So I didn't fantasize, just took a few people and quickly went south.
Tian Jing led people to the vicinity of Fanyang, because he saw that the flag of Jizhou had been changed in the city, Tian Jing did not dare to enter the city rashly, and rested temporarily in the woods outside the city, preparing to sneak into the city at night to inquire about the news.
Who knew that Tian Jing did not start to act in the evening, but saw the horse team of the brigade coming from Yi Jing's side. There are about 100 people in this team, all of them in white clothes and white horses, Tian Jing is very familiar with it at a glance, and immediately thinks of Baima Yicong.
After a closer look, sure enough, the leader of the team was none other than his third brother Liu Yong. Tian Jing immediately came out and shouted, "Third brother go slowly, I'm your second brother!" ”
Liu Yong immediately turned around, and when he saw that it was Tian Jing, he immediately stopped the team. As soon as he turned his horse back, he came to Tian Jing, and without saying a word, he raised his sword and slashed.
Tian Jing was startled, dodged away, and shouted, "Third child, you're crazy." ”
Liu Yong saw Tian Jing dodge, and slashed over with another sword. "You dog thief, colluding with Yuan Shao, pretending to ally with my Youzhou, but now the Jizhou army is besieging the city, Youzhou is in danger, everything is thanks to you. I won't kill you? I'm going to have to cut you a thousand times to catch the hatred in my heart. ”
Tian Jing saw that Liu Yong refused to stop, and took the gun behind his back with his backhand. After returning the driver, he said, "Third brother, I also fell for Yuan Shao's tricks." I had just gotten the news, and I was rushing to help. Where is the eldest brother now, I'm going to see him. Believe me, I'll definitely have a way to help Youzhou through this. ”
Where is Liu Yong willing to listen, he still pressed tightly with a sword and a sword, Tian Jing reflexively carried the gun and swept Liu Yong down with the barrel of the gun.
This time, Bai Ma Yi behind Liu Yong never did it, and was about to rush up to fight, Tian Jing shouted, "Whoever dares to move, I want his life", and drank everyone. Only then did he say to Liu Yong, "Third child, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, the key now is to find a way to find reinforcements." Since you are going north with a hundred people, you should go to Jixian County to move rescue troops. Then the eldest brother must have also broken through, if my guess is right, he should go to Yanshan to find Zhang Yan for help. Looking at the world, now the only one who can help Youzhou is Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops. You go, I had already persuaded Gongsun Fan when I came to Jixian County, and he was now disheartened and refused to send troops. If you can say that it is best to move him, if not, I will show you a way, go to talk to Lord Wuhuan Nanlou, before our war with the Wuhuan people, only Nanlou remained neutral, as long as the conditions given are suitable, this old fox will help you. ”
Tian Jing withdrew his gun and did not speak, while Tian Jing led his entourage and quickly went south, hoping to bypass Yi Jing and catch up with Gongsun Xu's team.
Liu Yong saw that Tian Jing was gone, stunned on the spot, and thought for a long time before turning over and getting on the horse, and taking more than 100 white horses from the north to Jixian County.
Tian Jing took a few personal soldiers and marched quickly, only changing mounts on the road, but people did not rest. When bypassing Yi Jing, Tian Jing saw the joint venture of dozens of miles of black pressure, and said in his heart, "It's very good, I'm afraid that there is a big battle to fight after seeing this Yi Jing." According to the experience of the last siege of Yijing, this battle could not be fought in half a year.
Just breaking through the trenches on the periphery of Yijing doesn't know how much time it will take, and how many people will be killed or wounded.
Tian Jing took his soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Zhongshan County in Jizhou, and finally found traces of large-scale cavalry movement. According to the white mane on the ground, Tian Jing finally determined that this group of people should be the White Horse Yicong army led by Gongsun Xu.
Tian Jing asked everyone to cheer up and inquire around for news, hoping to meet Gongsun Xin as soon as possible.
