Chapter 43: Yuan Shao's Aid (II)

The war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was protracted, and although it ended in the victory of Yuan Shao's stage surname, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuan Shao actually did not take much advantage.

Not only was the location of the battle between the two armies within Yuan Shao's sphere of influence, but the ambush by Gongsun Zan in the Panhe camp alone made Yuan Shao miserable. If it weren't for the first dead soldiers who could restrain Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would not be able to eat well, not to mention, Gongsun Zhan's plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle made Yuan Shao's rear base camp be breached, although he won the victory on the scene, but at least Yuan Shao was unable to expand his power to the north for a year or two.

The Xiandeng battalion that shined in this war was the crossbow cavalry battalion led by Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi, known as the dead man, which was powerful in the rapid fire of the crossbow and the mobile surname of the cavalry, and its combat power was extremely strong. After receiving the news that the Black Mountain thieves attacked Yecheng, as the vanguard of Yuan Shao's reinforcements, it took less than three days to arrive in Yecheng when the Black Mountain thieves broke the city.

In addition to the elite led by Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain thieves are just a group of rabble in the final analysis, even if they rely on a large number of people and have a complete advantage in terms of troops, but in front of the first dead soldiers who can fight one enemy and one hundred, they will soon retreat.

How could the Black Mountain thieves who were full of gold and silver coins and carrying sacks of grain and grass on their backs be the opponents of the first camp who came on light horses, and the screams and fighting that had just subsided over Yecheng sounded again.

The soldiers who first ascended the camp were called dead soldiers, and their combat power was naturally not comparable to the Black Mountain thieves, with cold faces and light armor, fast horses, and sharp knives, in the Black Mountain thieves who were scurrying like headless flies, killing in and out, bringing out a slip of blood light, staining the ground of Yecheng red.

"Haha, it's my father's army, you know each other and release me quickly, and you can still have a chance to beg for mercy in front of my father, otherwise, as soon as the army arrives, you thieves and rebels will not be able to survive!" Yuan Shang's face showed a look of madness, and he shouted to Zhang Yan with a solemn face.

"Shut up!" After receiving the news of Yuan Shaojun's return, the leaders of Montenegro quickly gathered around Zhang Yan. Yuan Shao's first camp in Hebei is famous, and some people even compare it with the trapped camp under Lu Bu, and the leaders of the Black Mountain thieves have naturally heard the name of the first deceased, and they all have a panicked look, waiting for Zhang Yan's decision.

Yuan Shang's threatening words made Zhang Yan's eyes flash with a gleam. Although Yuan Shao's reputation for doting on his youngest son had not yet spread at this time, with Yuan Shang's trump card in hand, Zhang Yan was not nervous. In Zhang Yan's mind, even if he has combat power to go to the camp first, after all, there are only about 1,000 people, but the Black Mountain thieves have more than 50,000 people, even if they kill pigs, they can't kill them so quickly, enough time to leave Yecheng safely.

But Zhang Yan felt very aggrieved, and now although Zhang Yan is not very sure, he has confirmed in his heart that it is either Lu Bujun or Zhang Yangjun who has emptied the grain and grass in Yecheng. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, here Lu Bu used the excuse of contributing to his old friends in Hanoi, and forcibly deterred them for three days, but over there, when the Black Mountain thieves attacked Yecheng, the military resources of the granary disappeared, and Zhang Yan couldn't help but doubt it.

In addition, the so-called "you" in Yuan Shanggang's mouth made Zhang Yan even more bitter.

"Handsome! Yuan Shao's cavalry was too strong, and the brothers couldn't resist it. Hurry up and make a decision. "The new investment in Montenegro is not long ago, and his face is full of anxiety.

"Withdraw!" Thousands of thoughts flowed in Zhang Yan's heart, and finally she had to grit her teeth and condense a word.

"What are you going to do? Aren't you afraid that my father will tear you to pieces? Yuan Shang, who was dragged away by the Black Mountain thieves, saw that Zhang Yan didn't let go of his intentions, and said with a frightened face.

"Yuan Gongzi is our life talisman, how can we abandon it lightly?" Zhang Yan showed a cruel smile on his face, and said: "Besides, this attack on Yecheng, I didn't get much benefit, but a lot of brothers died, fortunately, thanks to you, I think, you are in Gongsun Taishou, it will definitely be worth a good price." ”

"Nope! No! No! Hearing that Zhang Yanyao gave himself to Gongsun Zhan in exchange for payment, Yuan Shang suddenly struggled. Who is Gongsun Chan? Just lost the upper hand in the battle with Yuan Shao, and the old Yuan family is already an undying enemy, if Gongsun Chan knows that he is Yuan Shao's favorite son, then wouldn't he be cut by a thousand cuts? "Chief! King! Hero! You give me to my father, my father loves me the most, and he will definitely pay a higher price, you believe me, believe me! ”

Yuan Shang's words made Zhang Yan's heart move, and the generals under his Black Mountain also showed hesitation, fundamentally speaking, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were the same for their Black Mountain thieves. Now Gongsun Chan can form an alliance with the Black Mountain Thief, also because of Yuan Shao, a strong enemy, if Yuan Shao is defeated, the Black Mountain Thief will also be the next target of Gongsun Zhan's ally.

In the same way, the reason why Yuan Shao looked down on the Black Mountain Thieves before, on the one hand, was because he was born in a big family, and he didn't look down on these mud legs at all, and now the Black Mountain Thieves have broken through Yecheng, although Yuan Shao is annoyed, but on the other hand, it also shows the strength of the Black Mountain Thieves, and with Yuan Shao's son in hand, the Black Mountain Thieves have taken the initiative, and it is not impossible to find the right and left between the two princes of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan.

"Stay with Yuan Gongzi and the two generals, and be entertained, don't be scornful! Let's withdraw! Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, and the idea of Yuan Shang giving Gongsun Zhan in exchange for a reward faded in his heart. Sending Yuan Shang to Gongsun Chan, although he can get Gongsun Zhan's support materials, but he offended Yuan Shao very much, and it is very worthless to be in the position of the leader of Montenegro, and to set up such a powerful enemy for himself.

"Black Mountain Thief! Raid my office, capture my beloved son, take my military rations, and rob my horses, you are really good allies of Gongsun Lao'er! I don't need to wait for your head to sacrifice the dead soldiers in Yecheng, it is really difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

Yuan Shao finally returned to his own place of governance after the assessment of the Yecheng Rebellion, facing the devastated Yecheng, listening to the cries of his family, Yuan Shao's anger finally reached its peak!

"My lord! Please put out the wrath of thunder! The interrogator who was also the four strategists of Yuan Shao persuaded him: "The Black Mountain thieves, although there are millions of people, occupy the benefits of the mountains and rivers, compared to Gongsun Zhan, it is really a disease of scabies. At this time, the lord should take a leave of absence, make peace with Montenegro, recuperate, and look at Liu Yu's generation, only promise, and discord with Gongsun, when the time changes, the lord will surprise the army, send one or two generals who can be recruited, sweep the Qing and two states, and combine the power of the three states to help Liu Yu destroy the grandson and then collect millions of people in Montenegro, when the time comes, the entire Hebei will be in the hands of the lord, and the lord must not lose the big because of the small! ”

"Zhengnan's words are reasonable, I know it very well, but my beloved son Xianfu was captured by the Black Mountain thieves, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead, which really makes my heart hurt fiercely, and I can't see things, what is Zhengnan's good plan?" Yuan Shao trusted the trial match very much, and listened to what the trial said, but he didn't mention the matter of Yuan Shang's abduction, and couldn't help asking.

"Although what Zhengnan said is good, it is not too much to ignore the safety of the third prince!" Yuan Shao's other strategist, Feng Ji, sneered.

"What does Yuantu teach me?" Yuan Shao heard the meaning of Feng Ji's words, and it seemed that there was a way to save Yuan Shang, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and he hurriedly asked.

"The Montenegrin thieves gathered in the mountains and forests, known as millions of people, but there was no agricultural land to raise themselves, so they plundered everywhere for the disaster of Hebei County, Gongsun Chan with a little profit, then the general called, this Yecheng rebellion, relying on the lord to first ascend to the work of the dead, the elite of Montenegro ten to **, it is the opportunity for the lord to policy the opposite, think that the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan can collect millions of people, must be very people, if it can be used by the lord, then Gongsun Chan is just a disease of scabies!" Feng Ji sneered and glanced at the trial, and said: "It is reported that after learning the identity of the third prince, the Black Mountain thief took him away without arresting him, and the meaning of it has been clearly stated in front of the lord, and what he is worried about is just that he is afraid that the lord will investigate Yecheng's fault." ”

"What Yuan Tu said is exactly what I want!" After listening to Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao said yes, and said: "I want to accept them for a long time, but I don't have a chance, since my son Xianfu has entered the Black Mountain thief camp alone, he still needs a person who can speak well to negotiate, I don't know who Yuantu recommends?" ”

"My lord, what Feng Ji said is really the way to disaster!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was quite moved, he said angrily: "At present, Yecheng is newly broken, the people's hearts are unstable, and the lord is appeasing the black mountain thieves at this time, I am afraid that the big clans in this Yecheng will be solid, and the prestige of the lord will ......."

"Zhengnan's words are not unreasonable, but my beloved son Xianfu ......" Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment and frowned.

"My lord, what the judge said is unfounded!" Feng Ji glanced at the trial dissatisfied, and said: "The third prince is suffering in the thief camp at this time, why should I wait for the subordinates not to save it?" At this time, it is not good for the people to appease Montenegro? Isn't the judge afraid that the third prince is in the thief camp, which is a great irony for the prestige of the lord? ”

"Alright, stop arguing!" Yuan Shao finally couldn't forget Yuan Shang's safety, and said to Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu's strategy is very reasonable, Xianfu is in the Black Mountain Thief Camp, does it make the world say that I, Yuan Shao, am incompetent?" Just who to send? Otherwise, you ......"

"Lord!" Feng Ji was about to open his mouth when he saw the trial, knowing that the trial must be gloating, is the Black Mountain thief camp so easy to enter? Hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "I will recommend the two of them, and I will definitely be able to bring the third prince back safely!" ”

"Oh? Talk about the meta map quickly! Yuan Shao said happily.

"First, it is Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan!" Feng Ji said: "Although the Black Mountain thieves broke through Yecheng, Xu You could not escape the blame, but he was able to delay the speed of the Black Mountain Thieves' march for nearly three days, and it lasted until the lord's army returned to help, Yecheng was damaged only a little grain and grass coins, and the population was not lost, which shows that Xu You is indeed attentive." ”

"I know very well that Xu Yuzhi can drag the Black Mountain thieves to the army to help, meritorious!" Yuan Shao is still very waiting to see Xu You at this time, after all, he is a former iron buddy, although Yecheng was finally breached, but just like Feng Ji said, with Xu You alone and Hanoi Zhang Yang's soldiers, it is not easy to drag the Black Mountain thief for three days. After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shao said: "If Ziyuan is far away, he will definitely be able to bring Xianfu back to Yecheng, who else is it?" ”

"Lu Bu!" Feng Ji replied.

"Lu Bu?" Yuan Shao frowned and said: "This person's surname is repeated, unruly, I don't like it, the last time Xu You took me to marry Lu Bu sincerely, there is no news so far, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Moreover, this person has a tiger and wolf heart, and it is difficult to live under people, this ......"

"Don't worry, lord!" Feng Ji's thin face showed a confident smile, and said: "Lu Bu is in trouble at this time, and there are no wise people in the army, now living in Hanoi, he must be hindered, and he will definitely not refuse to be kind to the lord!" Moreover, Lu Bu relied on it, but he commanded thousands of soldiers and horses. With his martial arts, he shocked Montenegro, so that Ziyuan had no worries and rescued the third son, which was one of the benefits; has his daughter as a hostage, so can Lu Buyan die for the Lord? This is a good thing! As for the lord's concerns, if Lu Bu is under the command of the lord, the weapons, grain and grass all depend on the lord, and he is just a toothless tiger at that time, if the lord is suspicious, why is it difficult to kill? ”

"What Yuan Tu said is exactly what I want!" Yuan Shao said loudly: "In this way, I immediately sent a letter to Xu You, ordering him to promote the marriage with Lu Bu, and to use both literature and martial arts with Lu Bu, to deter Huairou at the same time, and to rescue Xianfu safely!" ”

"The lord is wise!" Feng Ji proudly glanced at the pale-faced match, and replied loudly.

I have to say that no matter the plan of Feng Ji and the trial, it is indeed very reasonable, if Qin Xu was present, he would not dare to underestimate the insight of the strategists of the Three Kingdoms, but Yuan Shao and his strategists would never have thought that under Qin Xu's harmony, Lu Bu had already extinguished his mind to defect to Yuan Shao, and this time the Black Mountain army attacked Yecheng, I am afraid that the biggest benefit would be Lu Bu who Yuan Shao and others would never have thought of!

After Gao Shun noticed that there was a change in the affairs of Yecheng, Qin Xu and more than 800 people with nearly 3,000 war horses were galloping towards Hanoi.

"Do you think Yuan Shao will temporarily transfer the target from Gongsun Zan to the head of the Black Mountain thief because of the matter in Yecheng?" Lu Lingqi asked gloatingly.

"Originally, I couldn't say it accurately, but Yuan Xiaosan was arrested by the Montenegrin army, and with the surname of Lao Yuan, I am afraid that he will do something to the Montenegrin thieves." Qin Xu was trying to adapt to the tingling pain from the tender skin on the inner thigh, this unilateral saddle without the stirrup on the right side, he had to clamp it hard with his legs so as not to fall off the horse, at this time, he was thinking about the appearance of the saddle in the future, and said without thinking.
