Chapter 240: Right in the middle
After Feng Ji listened to Yuan Shao's order, he went out to gather the army. As for those soldiers who are still fighting hard with the imperial army, they can only give up.
Feng Ji saw that the imperial army was now only occupying the wall, but did not attack again. However, Feng Ji would not be stupid enough to believe that the imperial army really did not want to occupy Tongguan or did not have the spare strength to capture Tongguan. Seeing the imperial army standing desperately in front of the gate and swearing not to retreat, even a fool can see that the imperial army must have backup.
After gathering more than 15,000 people, Yuan Shao planned to retreat. As for the others, they can only be left here to consume the strength of the imperial army.
Standing near the gate of Tianshui, Yuan Shao glanced back, that is, the reinforcements of the imperial army had not yet arrived, and the remaining Xiliang army had already shown defeat. Yuan Shao is also a hero, looking at those former subordinates who are now dying for him, but he doesn't frown.
"No, it can't be so cheap to the court." Yuan Shao suddenly turned around, looked at Guan Nei and then spoke.
Feng Ji was also shocked when he heard Yuan Shao's words. It was not easy to persuade Yuan Shao to leave, if Yuan Shao wanted to stay at this time, then what Feng Ji had done before would be in vain. "Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. Now that the court is in power for a while, it is not too late to kill him when the lord regroups in the coming day. ”
"No firewood?" Yuan Shao just thought that he couldn't let the imperial court take back Tongguan so easily, but he didn't think of what to do. However, Feng Ji's words made Yuan Shao figure it out instantly. "Okay, it's burned! What I Yuan Shao can't use, the court can't think of! ”
Feng Ji heard Yuan Shao say this, and then his heart was relieved. As long as Yuan Shao doesn't kill back, then the rest are easy to say. "Then the lord is thinking ......" Feng Ji thought of something, but he didn't say it.
Yuan Shao is the lord, Feng Ji is the minister, and Youdao is the envoy of the monarch and the minister, different people and different statuses should say different things and do different things. Now that Yuan Shao has thought of something, Feng Ji naturally won't talk too much, at most, he will wait for Yuan Shao to finish talking and then improve it.
"There is still a large amount of grain and grass in Tongguan, since we can't transport it, we can't leave it for the imperial court." Yuan Shao's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said viciously.
"The lord is wise, the lord is martial!" As soon as Yuan Shao's words were finished, Feng Ji's ass was patted on it. As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn. Feng Ji's simple sentence suddenly made Yuan Shao's frowning brows slightly relaxed.
Feng Ji quickly arranged Yuan Shao's orders, and also gave special instructions to the soldiers who went to carry out the task according to some details. Soon, a fire broke out at the Tongguan granary.
At this time, Yuan Shao had already left Tongguan, and when he looked back at the thick smoke rising from Tongguan, he suddenly grinned an extremely ugly smile. Although Yuan Shao's plan was successful, don't forget that those grains and grasses belonged to him Yuan Shao before.
At the same time, the two sides who were still fighting in Tongguan were also taken aback when they saw the raging fire coming out of the granary. When Ye Mo and the others saw the fire, they didn't know what it was, but they were a little stunned and curious. But in the eyes of those Xiliang troops, these are not trivial matters.
Those Xiliang soldiers knew very well that the place where the fire was set was where the granary was located, and it was a heavy place for storing grain. The reinforcements that were fighting behind the back suddenly disappeared, which is still a trivial matter, after all, those people are likely to carry out some plan. But now, the grain and grass have been burned, so where can these people calm down?
Why is it often said that "the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first"? It is because grain and grass are important strategic materials, and if any army suddenly runs out of food while fighting abroad, then it is possible for this army to mutiny.
Now, when the soldiers of the Xiliang Army saw that the granary was on fire, the smarter ones were afraid that they had already thought of Yuan Shao, and they were afraid that they had already evacuated, and even the stupid ones knew that there was no food to eat. How, then, can we expect these soldiers to fight bravely?
Moreover, at this time, Cao Xuan also came in with a large army. Those Xiliang troops had never gained the upper hand in the first place, and these soldiers could not afford to resist in the face of the encirclement of the heavy troops of the imperial court.
Ye Mo stood on top of the wall, and also saw the change in the momentum of those Xiliang soldiers after they saw the fire in Tongguan, so he walked down the wall, and randomly picked a Xiliang sergeant and asked, "Do you know where the fire is?" ”
The Xiliang sergeant saw someone asking, but when he looked up, he was a person wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes and armor, and this person was still the clothes and armor of the Xiliang army, so he guessed that this person was the first group of people in the imperial army to rush into Tongguan. However, this soldier was not sure of Ye Mo's identity, so he kept silent.
Dian Wei also followed Ye Mo down the wall at this time, and when he saw that the soldier who was going to ask him actually ignored Ye Mo's question, he was furious, rushed to the soldier, kicked the man, and then said, "What is it?" When the lord asks you, how dare you not agree and seek death? ”
It's just that this kick is extremely measured, which can not only teach this soldier a lesson, but also not let this soldier be in danger of his life. It's just that it seems that Dian Wei's kick is extremely scary. Even when Ye Mo saw it, he couldn't help but be startled.
Ye Mo was worried that the soldier would hurt him, and it would be difficult to deal with these soldiers, so he hurriedly squatted down and helped the soldier and said, "How is it?" Are you okay? Ye Mo also knew that there would be no effect on this, but as long as he did it, it didn't matter if this soldier was dead or alive? I don't know him.
The soldier just felt pain because Dian Wei was interested, but there was no big problem. Moreover, when he heard that Dian Wei had just called Ye Mo the "lord", he immediately understood that this person was afraid that he was Ye Mo, the imperial court lieutenant.
Although the soldier had never seen Dian Wei, he had heard of it. Moreover, they also have a rough idea of who their opponents are. Yuan Shao didn't let them discuss it in private, but they would still talk about it quietly.
At this time, when the soldier saw that he cared so much about him, he suddenly felt that his ancestor had appeared to him, and he had actually spoken to such a great god, and this great god had even touched him. "The villain is fine, the villain is fine. Back to the adult's words, the place where the fire caught fire was the granary of Tongguan. ”
As soon as Ye Mo heard that the soldier said that it was a granary, he immediately figured out the general idea of the matter. I was afraid that this was Yuan Shao's trick, Yuan Shao saw that he would be defeated, so he first burned the grain and grass in Tongguan, so that the imperial army could spend time to put out the fire and buy time for his own escape. This is to ensure that these grains and grasses will not fall into Ye Mo's hands, so that Ye Mo can use these grains and grasses to attack him.
It's just that what Yuan Shao didn't think about was that Ye Mo didn't think about chasing down to Tianshui to kill Yuan Shao. First, the soldiers fought again and again, and they were already in a difficult situation. Second, this Tianshui and Xiliang are the places where the Qiang and Han ethnic groups live, which are extremely chaotic and affect the whole body. To solve the problems of these two places, we can only let the people of these two places solve it themselves. Thirdly, seeing that this spring is about to pass, and some crops can still be replanted in the fertile fields at this time, if the time is missed, then these two days will be wasted for a year.
And at this time, Yuan Shao's actions just gave Ye Mo a reason to stop fighting, how could Ye Mo be unhappy?
Just when Ye Mo's heart was secretly refreshed, a team of soldiers rushed in outside the gate. Those people didn't see the shape clearly, and after rushing in, there was a burst of shouting and killing. Among them, the leader was none other than Sun Ce, who Ye Mo asked him to return to Hanguguan with his injured soldiers.
(Anyway, can you ask for some recommendations?) The number of recommended votes is really scary. )
