Chapter 258: One line of gain, one line of loss

Li Dao suffered a big loss this time, and only one palace city was left to garrison, which also became Li Dao's only reliance, and the palace city was the strongest city in all dynasties, not to mention Chang'an City, one of the nine ancient capitals in history.

Naturally, there are many places where he is unique, and there are not many soldiers who fled back to the palace with Li Dao, and with the soldiers who were originally stationed, it can be said that if he wants to defend the huge ancient capital, it is a bit stretched.

If Zhang Xiang is willing to attack hard, there is no problem in taking this palace city, but to bear the heavy price, Zhang Xiang has already walked ninety-nine steps, and he is short of the last step.

Zhang Xiang didn't want to lose too much on the last step, so it would really outweigh the losses, Zhang Xiang didn't forget the bet with Guo Jia, Zhang Xiang had already let go of a Jia Xu, and he couldn't let go of Guo Jia.

In the past, Zhang Xiang did not deliberately retain his troops, and everything went naturally, because Zhang Xiang did not have the confidence to win this bet, but now it is different, and the loss of the soldiers is within the acceptable range of Zhang Xiang.

What's more, Zhang Xiang has collected a lot of Liangzhou soldiers, which is enough to win this bet, so Zhang Xiang will not fight hard with Li Dao, and now Li Dao's soldiers are demoralized, if it is not Li Dao's personal confidants who guard the palace.

Zhang Xiang believed that they had already descended, so he didn't have to work so hard, Li Dao actually closed the city gate, which meant that he had not given up, Zhang Xiang knew that Li Dao's goal was himself.

The hatred in Li Wei's eyes can't deceive others, he doesn't seem to want to rely on Yuan Shao anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have sent troops to meet the battle, giving himself such a good opportunity, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So Zhang Xiang decided to use himself as bait to lure Li Dao into the bait, even if Li Dao had any suspicions, he was willing to take this risk, because he didn't have many such opportunities, even if it was a 1 in 10,000 chance, he would try.

However, Zhang Xiang's strategy was opposed by the generals, and Zhou Yang even brought a person who was Jin Kui, Zhang Xiang got the inner city, and naturally Jin Kui was relieved, Zhou Yang brought him this time to let him talk about Li Wei's situation.

Zhou Yang didn't expect Zhang Xiang to come up with such a dangerous strategy, "The doctor next to me is Jin Kui, he has been in charge of Li Dao's condition, according to him, Li Dao will not live for more than three months." ”

Zhang Xiang looked at Jin Kui, "Is this true?" Jin Kui didn't want to talk about Li Dao's illness, after all, he had his own ethics, but if the two armies fought like this, there would only be more dead and wounded.

This is what Jin Kui doesn't want to see, "My lord, this is true, General Li will not live for three months, and the villain does not dare to say anything." Jin Kui's affirmation made Zhang Xiang feel even more compelled to take risks.

Zhang Xiang: "Li Dao only has a three-month lifespan, but I don't have the time to wait for him for three months, Li Dao can die for a hundred, but time is more important to me." ”

Cheng Yu: "Actually, the lord is biased, we don't need to take the palace, since Li Dao only has three months, then he can't turn the sky, we fence the palace, Li Dao has no way out, and the lord can return to the state in advance." ”

Cheng Yu's words were indeed what Zhang Xiang didn't expect, Zhang Xiang had to admit that he really only cared about the present, and didn't see such a simple thing, Zhang Xiang almost forgot that his biggest enemy was Yuan Shao.

Zhang Xiang: "It's true that I'm wrong this time, I think things are complicated, but I still have to meet this Li Dao before leaving, at least his soldiers don't know the truth like me." ”

The generals accompanied Zhang Xiang to the palace city, "Li Dao dares to come out and see it." The generals also shouted, and after a while, Li Dao also received a report and came to the head of the palace city.

Li Dao: "Zhang Xiang, you are in such a hurry to see me, do you have something to say?" But I have nothing to say to you, so let's talk with a knife and a gun! At this time, Li Dao looked very depressed.

Zhang Xiang: "I'm leaving, because Li Dao, you can't pose any threat anymore, I just knew one thing, you only have less than three months to live, and I won't waste time on a dying person." ”

Li Wei didn't expect Zhang Xiang to know about this, and he seemed to be a little flustered for a while, and the Liangzhou soldiers in the palace city also began to look left and right, "Nonsense, Zhang Xiang, you are spreading rumors." ”

Zhang Xiang has always been a person who speaks with facts, Zhang Xiang asked people to bring Jin Kui up, Li Wei saw Jin Kui and understood why Zhang Xiang knew the truth, "Zhang Xiang, I won't let you go, and you, you, you, you"

Li Dao pointed to all the generals in the city, Li Dao had begun to lose his mind a little, at this time, Jin Kui was out of the mentality of a doctor, "General Li, you must not be impatient, it will not be good for your condition." ”

Jin Kui's words were more powerful than anything else, causing Li Dao to spurt out a mouthful of blood, Jin Kui actually wanted to enter the palace at this time, Zhang Xiang asked people to hold him down, "You are crazy, Li Dao will not die now, and he will not let you go after waking up." ”

Jin Kui: "This is not the most important, the important thing is that his condition has worsened, and it is because of me, I should not have told his condition, I am naturally responsible for my mistakes." ”

Zhang Xiang: "If I didn't know Li Wei's situation, there would only be more deaths, you have saved a lot of people invisibly by doing this, and you don't need to blame yourself or be responsible, because you are right." ”

Jin Kui: "Maybe I'm right to others, I'm right to you, but I'm right to General Li, I never make any high-sounding excuses, I just need to reassure myself." ”

Jin Kui's stubbornness was beyond Zhang Xiang's imagination, and Zhang Xiang didn't want to see him die in vain, "You can't always be all-encompassing, you have saved many people, and their gratitude is enough." ”

Jin Kui still didn't advance what Zhang Xiang said, he still insisted on entering the city, the two armies fought without beheading, Jin Kui entered the palace as a messenger from the state, which was also the only thing Zhang Xiang could do for him.

Li Dao's illness was also confirmed because of Jin Kui's entry into the city, and many Liangzhou soldiers also automatically took refuge in Zhang Xiang, except for some die-hard factions, they still carefully guarded the palace city, waiting for Li Dao to wake up.

Li Wei has been unconscious since he vomited blood, most of the soldiers in Miyagi have taken refuge in Zhang Xiang, Miyagi has no longer posed a threat to Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang did not choose to attack the city, because there is no need for that.

Zhang Xiang decided to let Li Dao die a decent death, and Zhang Xiang, the medicinal material that Jin Kui wanted, also asked his subordinates to do their best, Zhang Xiang couldn't wait for the day when Li Dao woke up, Zhang Xiang only left a small number of soldiers waiting to take over Chang'an Palace.

Zhang Xiang took the rest of the soldiers and embarked on the way home, because a bigger opponent was waiting for him, fortunately Zhang Xiang asked Niu Fu to return in advance, otherwise Zhang Feng and they would be really dangerous.

Yang Xu and others solved the grain and grass of the Zhen family, thinking that Yuan Shao would not be able to raise grain and grass in a short time, but people are not as good as heaven, and Yuan Shao actually decided to eliminate the Zhen family and kill chickens and eggs.

The Zhen family is one of the four major merchant families of the Han Dynasty, and the family is rich and exaggerated, it is rich enough to say that it is a rich country, Zhen Yao's matter made Yuan Shao find an excuse, and this strategy was also proposed by Xu You.

Of course, Xu You also wanted to profit from it, but this strategy was indeed feasible, and even Fu Zhu and others did not object, Xu You used the Zhen family to draw a big pie to attract a group of families to eat it.

These attracted families, in order to eat the Zhen family, naturally will not be stingy, these families have surplus grain, and a lot of surplus grain is moldy, it is really Zhumen dog meat stinky road frozen bones.

Yuan Shao got the grain and grass he wanted without taking the Zhen family, and Yuan Shao got enough grain and grass to be ashamed, and Monza's troops suffered heavy losses, so they couldn't provide support on the outskirts of Yuyang County at all.

In other words, the rest of the things can only rely on Zhang Feng, the boss, Yuan Shao's subordinates are quite capable, as the so-called long-term defense will be lost, the city wall where Liang Xiu is located has never been the main direction of attack of Yuan Jun.

Although Liang Xiu did not slack off, the sudden onslaught of the Yuan army also made Liang Xiu very uncomfortable, and Liang Xiu's force was not high, and Zhang Jaw also personally attacked the city wall, and Zhang Jaw's gun was fast with one word.

Although Liang Xiu tried his best to resist, he was still stabbed into the lower abdomen by a shot from Zhang Jaw, and he was bleeding on the spot, if it weren't for Liang Xiu's kind of gamblers, he might not have survived.

The Yuan army poured into Yuyang County through the wall of Liangxiu, and Zhang Feng saw that the situation was not right and immediately led the soldiers to break through, but the Yuan army's offensive was too fierce and the number of people was too large, and many soldiers from the state were scattered.

The city guards could only break through separately, Longxing, Xu Huang, and Zhang Feng all left Yuyang County with their own methods, only Liang Xiu was the most daring, he knew that he couldn't go, so he hid in Yuyang County on the spot.

Let his lieutenant general break through with his soldiers, Liang Xiu can be said to be the most familiar general with the people of Yuyang among the four generals who defend the city, so Liang Xiu easily found a home for him to hide and recuperate on the spot.

At first, Liang Xiu was also very worried, but when Yang Xu's people found him, he was relieved and fainted, Liang Xiu's wound had been left untreated and had suppurated, and the person who could survive Yang Xu was quite good.

Yuan Jun took Yuyang County, which was equivalent to taking the entire Yuyang County, and Zhang Feng could not disperse to the county seat to garrison, so it could only be broken by each one, so Zhang Feng ordered all the soldiers of the state to withdraw from Yuyang County.

Yuan Jun didn't rest at all, he kept chasing after Zhang Feng and others, Zhang Feng couldn't gather troops at all, until he retreated into Dai County, which means that Yuan Jun easily took the two counties of Youzhou.

Zhang Xiang only has the last Dai County left in Youzhou's territory, and he can't keep it at any time, the commander of the county soldiers in Dai County is Wu Anguo, and he already knew about the defeat of Zhang Feng and others, so when Zhang Feng and others were exhausted, Wu Anguo began to prepare.
