Tian Jing led the troops to capture Chen Ji, and after occupying Dangtu, he began to hold his troops still. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For him, it is not the best choice to attack Shouchun City first.

Emperor Xian wanted the jade seal of the country, and he had already asked Hu Cai's people to find a way to get mixed into Shouchun City three months ago, and Yuan Shao also had the eyeliner arranged by Hu Cai's side. If it was difficult for them to steal the jade seal of the country in the past, but now that the war is tight, there is a rumor in Shouchun City, and the people are panicking, Hu Cai and their opportunity has come.

As soon as Tian Jing received the order to dedicate the emperor, he asked Yang Biao about the shape and specifications of the jade seal, and found out the pattern of the jade seal inscription from the holy decree retained by the Yang family. Then he handed over the craftsman to secretly make a "heirloom jade seal" and handed it to Hu Cai, asking him to act on the camera.

Hu Cai pretended to be a merchant and established contact with Yang Yuan, the palm seal of Yuan Shu, very early. Today, Hu Cai came to visit again, but Yang Yuan had a sad look on his face.

Hu Cai asked, "Lord Yang is going to court today, why are you so worried?" Could it be that there is something big in the DPRK and China? ”

Yang Yuan sighed, "Hey, now that the Han Dynasty has 100,000 soldiers and horses attacking, the northern front has been broken, and even the hussar general Chen Ji has been captured." On the eastern front, Cao Cao's army besieged Yinling, and Zhang Xun, the general of the chariot cavalry, was afraid that he would not be able to support it for long. This Shouchun City is only afraid that in a few days, it will be besieged by a large army. Do you think you can not be worried? ”

Hu Cai said, "Lord Yang, do you think this Shouchun can be kept?" ”

Yang Yuan whispered, "You can keep a fart." My elder brother Yang Hong was originally Yuan Shuchangshi, and now he is the Situ of the imperial court. He told me, "Now the army in this city is not available." The emperor removed the original guards and used his nephew Yuan Yin and his cronies to defend the city. If it weren't for that, I am afraid that when the army besieged the city, some people would have surrendered long ago. ”

Hu Cai said, "Then if the Han army enters the city, we businessmen are only afraid that we will suffer from the pond fish." ”

Yang Yuan said, "Don't talk about you, we are officials in the puppet dynasty, but we are afraid that we will not be able to save our lives." ”

Hu Cai thought for a while and said, "It's hard for us people to say, but the lives of adults must be worry-free, and maybe there are still great fame waiting for adults." My lord, do you know what the Han army wants to find most if it enters the city? ”

Yang Yuan was stunned, "Of course it's the emperor......"

Hu Cai said, "If you think you are foolish, it should be the jade seal of the country." ”

Yang Yuan was surprised: "The jade seal of the country, yes, it should be the jade seal of the country." I didn't expect you to know about it. ”

Hu Cai said, "Whoever the lord will dedicate the jade seal of the country to, who will give the lord glory and wealth, the adult not only has no worries about his life, but is a strange commodity to live in." So as long as you ensure that when the city is broken, the jade seal can be next to the adults. ”

Yang Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Listen to Brother Hu's words and wake up the people in your dreams." Then the two chatted for a while, and then Hu got up and took his leave.

After Yang Yuan waited for Hu Cai to leave, he immediately went to the city to find a craftsman, and then told the craftsmen all the size regulations and font characteristics of the jade seal of the country, so that they could make a jade seal within ten days.

Ten days later, Yang Yuan brought the fake jade seal into the palace, and went to the treasury where the national seal was passed on and quietly replaced the jade seal. Then take the real jade seal out of the palace and put it in the Ange on the wall of the house, and carefully collect it. But when the city is broken, the jade seal will be revealed, in exchange for life and meritorious service.

But Shi Da had already arranged eyeliner in front of Yang Yuan's mansion, and as soon as Yang Yuan brought the jade seal back, he secretly stalked and knew where the jade seal was hidden. Then taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he used the fake jade seal made in advance to adjust the bag with Yang Yuan's jade seal.

As soon as Star's people succeeded, they immediately found a way to withdraw from Shouchun, and then joined Tian Jing. Tian Jing thought about it, he still had to continue to attack Shouchun with Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and it was not a way for Yuxi to stay here. He arranged for Shi Da to dress up all the way, enter Nanyang through Runan, make a detour to Hongnong, Luoyang, and then go to Xudu to see Lord Yang Biao, and let Yang Biao hand over to Emperor Xian.

After Starr received the order, he led the people to set off. A big stone fell to the ground in Tian Jing's heart, and this attack on the battle of Shouchun was much easier in his heart. Three days later, Tian Jing began to reorganize the army and slowly moved south, preparing to march into Shouchun. At this time, the army of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren finally captured Xiquyang after a month of hard fighting. Zhang Xunshuai fled with hundreds of people, but he didn't dare to go to Shouchun, he was afraid that Yuan Shu would cut off his head. Zhang Xun directly bypassed Shouchun and fled to Hefei.

Tian Jing and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's soldiers and horses besieged Shouchun together, a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses, plus the army came from afar, and there were no siege equipment, so this Shouchun City was very difficult to attack. There are 50,000 defenders in Shouchun, plus the city is high and deep, but I am afraid that it will not be able to conquer it without half a year's work.

Tian Jing discussed with Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to surround the city gates on three sides, leaving only the south gate unattacked. Then every day, people were sent to call for battle in front of the city, and the remaining soldiers went to the surrounding area to cut down trees and make siege equipment.

Ten days later, 20,000 soldiers and horses from Yang Feng and Han Xian arrived to take charge of the attack on Ximen. The coalition forces were gaining momentum, and the morale of the city sergeants was getting lower and lower.

After another month, Sun Ce led 30,000 troops to Lianke Liyang, Fuling, and Quanjiao, and finally rushed to Shouchun City. The number of soldiers and horses besieging the city reached more than 100,000. In addition, the siege equipment has gradually been built, and the offensive against Shouchun has become more and more sharp. The coalition forces attacked the city every day, and they never stopped.

Yuan Shu has already issued a summons to ask all the troops to be the king. But Liu Xun did not move in Anfeng, and Zhang Xun survived in Hefei, where would there be soldiers and horses to rescue.

Without reinforcements, the morale of the soldiers in the city was naturally insufficient. In addition, Yuan Shu has always been unsympathetic to the people, and the people in the city are eager for the city to be broken, let alone unite as one.

In Cao Jun's military camp, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, Guo Jia, Xun You and others were discussing the method of breaking the city. Xiahoudun had a humble attitude and asked Guo Jia, "Is there a good way to break the city?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile, "The day before yesterday, the general attacked the city and pulled out the village, and the road was like a bamboo. I, Guo Jia, am a scholar, where do I know about leading soldiers to fight. ”

In fact, Cao Ren had reminded Xiahoudun to ask Guo Jia and Xun Yu before, after all, Cao Cao sent them to help, but he couldn't leave them aside. However, at that time, Xiahoudun didn't think so, and said "Guo Jia, Xun Yu are scholars, where do you know how to march and fight, see me break Shouchun within a month", but he didn't expect it to reach Guo Jia's ears.

Xiahou Xuan's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Fengxiao, I am here to make amends for you." Today, I know why Ming Gong will take you and Gongda with him in every battle, we certainly understand this marching battle, but strategizing, conspiracy and calculation, we still need to rely on your advice. If what I said before didn't hit your ears, you had the right to fart. You must give me an idea today, otherwise we will not be able to attack this Shouchun for a long time, we will not have enough food and grass, and the soldiers will be war-weary, and then the situation will be bad. ”

Guo Jia said, "Since the Duke of Ming sent us, we naturally have a strategy to deal with Yuan Shu. Even if the general doesn't ask, I'm going to say it. Otherwise, wouldn't I be sorry for Ming Gong. Since Yuan Shu became emperor, he has been arrogant and lascivious, absurd, and has made the soldiers centrifuge, and the people hate him to the bone. Such a person can be said to have done his own evil and cannot live. On the one hand, we must use upright soldiers to hang the people and fight crimes. On the other hand, we also have to use our people to take advantage of the contradictions within the small court of Yuan Shu to start the fan and fuel the fire. Once the people in Shouchun City oppose him Yuan Shu, won't Shouchun attack himself? ”

Xiahoudun said, "What Feng Xiao said is very reasonable. I just don't know how to do it. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile, "When the general led the troops to cross the Huai, my fine work had already infiltrated Shouchun City. Now as long as I signal, I can activate it at any time. ”

"Okay, then it will be decided that after half a month, if the people in the city take the opportunity to rebel, your men and horses will find a way to seize the east gate and receive our army into the city. We can also set fire to the city and create chaos, and we can take the opportunity to attack the city, and maybe we can overcome it in one battle. Xiahou said.

Xun You said, "It stands to reason that Yuan Shu is the first evil, as long as it is removed, it will be the work of the marquis, and it must not be let go." However, the high pool of Shouchun City is deep, and the soldiers have enough food, if the four gates are besieged and the city is stormed, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses will definitely resist stubbornly and die endlessly. In this way, even if we win, it is not in our interest to suffer too many casualties. I mean that Tian Jing's troops and horses withdrew from the attack in Beicheng. The so-called siege of the city must be que, or it is to make the soldiers and horses in the city think that there is still a glimmer of life, and they are unwilling to defend the city desperately. Then let Tian Jing's soldiers and horses, as well as Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu's soldiers and horses, set up an ambush on the road that Yuan Shu must pass to escape, and find a way to capture Yuan Shu alive. ”

When Xiahou heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "This plan is very good, and the certainty of such victory is a little greater." ”

The crowd discussed some detailed operational issues, and then Xiahoudun summoned Tian Jing, Yang Feng, and Sun Ce in the name of Cao Cao to discuss the matter

Xiahoudun simply told the generals Guo Jiaxun's plan and asked them to act according to the plan. At the same time, it was determined that after the soldiers and horses attacked Shouchuncheng, the soldiers and horses of each department would attack what yamen. In fact, this distribution of benefits is also very important, everyone knows the treasures of Yuan Shu, and the beauties are set in the palace, and people who go to other places will definitely not get so many benefits. Now it was decided that the Cao army would occupy the palace, Sun Ce would attack the treasury, and Yang Feng would occupy the granary, but he was afraid that they would not be happy in their hearts. Especially Tian Jing is ambushed outside, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to participate in the distribution of benefits. Xiahoudun was worried that everyone would not agree at first, but he didn't expect everyone to speak very well. But he knew that every man had his own mind. In the eyes of Yang Feng and Sun Ce, once the city is broken, how can there be so much to say, they will all go to the palace. When the time comes, it will be said that the soldiers will not be restrained. But Tian Jing already knew that the jade seal of the country had arrived, and he didn't care about other things.

Half a month later, Guo Jia used "soldiers to forcibly collect grain from the people, and demolished the people's houses to make rolling wood and thunder stones to defend the city" in the city to encourage the people to rebel. He also took advantage of the war-weariness of junior and junior officers and soldiers in the army to encourage them to defect.

As a result, the people rebelled, stormed the government office, and burned down the official warehouse. Those soldiers who had already rebelled took advantage of this opportunity to open the east gate and lead Cao's army into the city. Shouchun City, which was originally impregnable, was breached in this way.
