Chapter 244: The Last Hope

Cheng Yu didn't see Han Sui's army enter the city, so he was even more sure of the idea in his heart, Cheng Yu came to Zhang Xiang's side: "It seems that the lord has to guard against Li Dao at the same time, but also guard against Han Sui!" ”

Zhang Xiang: "I have never trusted Han Sui, Han Sui is an expert behind the scenes, I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Beigong Boyu and others, but if we want to reduce casualties, we must use Han Sui's soldiers and horses, maybe Han Sui also wants to use us to achieve his goals, so it depends on who is smarter." ”

Cheng Yu: "Han Sui didn't even enter the city, it seems that he has begun to guard against us, and now that Li Sui's soldiers and horses have lost their traces, why don't we find a way to take Han Sui and annex his soldiers and horses first." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Han Sui has eight generals under his command, and the troops are also very strong, but the internal fighting is very strong, not so much that Han Sui is their lord, it is better to say that Han Sui is their alliance leader, if Han Sui is taken away, they will lose control, it will only be more difficult to swallow their soldiers and horses, and they will even be counterattacked, and the native Liangzhou forces are not easy to control, so they can only choose to borrow a knife to kill." ”

Cheng Yu: "It's not easy to borrow Han Sui's knife here, if Han Sui is not there, the knife will be broken, this is indeed a difficult problem, my lord, we have to let out the wind first and tie Han Sui to our chariot." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yu immediately retreated and arranged, and the state army has been resting in the city, after all, after three days of fighting, but during the period of rest, there was news that Han Sui and Zhang Xiang jointly attacked the land of Yongzhou.

Han Sui was at a loss for words this time, during this period, Zhang Xiang also invited Han Sui into the city, but Han Sui shirked it with various excuses, obviously Han Sui didn't want to put his life in Zhang Xiang's hands.

People don't want to, Zhang Xiang won't force it, Zhang Xiang and Han Sui's army are only separated by a city wall, but they don't get along with each other, and Zhang Xiang doesn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings before starting a war with Li Wei.

At this time, Li Dao also heard the news of Zhang Xiang and Han Sui's union, and was also glad that he had withdrawn early.

So when Zhang Xiang's army continued to march, there were no Liangzhou soldiers in the cities along the way, only some local people in Yongzhou, of course they would not provoke Zhang Xiang, and they were very cooperative.

Zhang Xiang will not trouble these people, once Zhang Xiang gets Yongzhou, these people are all people under his rule, and they are also a good source of soldiers, Zhang Xiang, the local power in Yongzhou, can only be friends and cannot be offended.

But there are people who can't get along with Zhang Xiang, that is, Han Sui's soldiers and horses, of course, Han Sui didn't mean to, he is now with Zhang Xiang's soldiers, so naturally he doesn't want to offend Zhang Xiang in trivial matters.

Because of a small loss is not what Han Sui did, Han Sui has always been a small and big person, and it is the generals under Han Sui who can't get along with Zhang Xiang, and Han Sui's commander of soldiers and horses has always been a person of grace.

Because Han Sui's congenital deficiencies can't be both ennice and powerful, he has many generals who are not obedient, and the military discipline in Liangzhou is lax, even if it is Han Sui's soldiers and horses, Han Sui saw Zhang Xiang's approach.

also guessed Zhang Xiang's thoughts, so he strictly ordered his subordinates not to raid places, but once a habit was formed, it was difficult to break it, and some of the generals and soldiers under Han Sui still couldn't help it and did something to the people along the way.

In this way, the contradiction between the two parties will arise, Zhang Xiang will definitely not sit idly by and ignore this situation, otherwise it will be difficult to govern after taking Yongzhou, so Zhang Xiang ordered his subordinates to surround these troublesome Xiliang soldiers.

But he didn't make a move, Zhang Xiang has been waiting for Han Sui to come forward, after all, Han Sui should give an explanation for this kind of thing, and Han Sui can't ignore these troublemakers, otherwise he won't want to lead the troops.

Zhang Xiang made a sudden move and arrested all these troublemakers, and Han Sui immediately came to Zhang Xiang after hearing the news, "Zhang Zhoumu, it's not good for you to detain my subordinates without authorization!" ”

Zhang Xiang: "This is Yongzhou, I have the name of a Yongzhou pastor on my head, and Lord Han's subordinates are making trouble under my hands, what do you want me to do?" Do you really want me to turn a blind eye? ”

Han Sui: "Of course not, I also gave an order, these soldiers are in trouble and violate military discipline, I naturally will not sit idly by, but I will discipline my own people, and I will definitely give an explanation to the state pastor." ”

Zhang Xiang: "We are allies, I will naturally believe Lord Han, and I will definitely let you take your people away, but can I see how you discipline your subordinates, and let me have an explanation." ”

Zhang Xiang's sudden outburst of strength made Han Sui understand that it was not so easy to solve this matter, and if he didn't give Zhang Xiang a satisfactory explanation, something more troublesome would definitely happen, "Of course you can." ”

Zhang Xiang asked Han Sui to take the people away, and there were indeed many people who committed the crime, at least seventy or eighty people, Han Sui privately gathered the people and personally executed these troublemakers in front of the people.

Han Sui didn't plan to do so, he originally thought that this matter would be turned into a big and small matter, so that both sides would have face, Han Sui didn't expect Zhang Xiang to seize this matter.

And he was aggressive, he knew that Han Sui would not have come to the door to throw this person in person, so that he had no room for slow turn, if his own subordinates came, he could still make a little turnaround.

It will not be like now, even if it is embarrassed in front of Zhang Xiang, it will not be able to give an explanation to his subordinates, fortunately, he has given an order in advance before, otherwise there will be more troublemakers.

It's really not going to end well, Han Sui came to Zhang Xiang's face, "You are satisfied with Zhang Zhoumu's disposition, if you are not satisfied, you really have nothing to say." "Zhang Xiang won't provoke Han Sui at this time.

Pressing step by step will only lead to the opposite effect, "It doesn't matter if I'm satisfied or not, the most important thing is to satisfy the local people, but in my opinion, Lord Han is too heavy this time." ”

Han Sui: "The military discipline of the Liangzhou soldiers has always been very chaotic, it's time to rectify it, this time is indeed an opportunity, that's why I will start so hard, our two armies have different styles of acting, let's separate first!" ”

Zhang Xiang: "We are allies and we are at the same level, Lord Han can leave at any time if he wants, and he doesn't need to ask anyone, because no one has this qualification, but I hope that the two armies should not be too far apart." ”

Han Sui: "This is natural, Li Wei's army doesn't know when to rush out, of course we have to fight the same enemy, this doesn't need to be said by the state pastor, I also know what to do." ”

After Han Sui went back, he led the army to march out, and camped thirty miles away from Zhang Xiang's army, this distance was also within the range of Zhang Xiang's acceptance, if Zhang Xiang was far away, he would not be able to sit still.

Zhang Xiang has always wanted to use Han Sui to deal with Li Wei's army, but the contradiction between the two armies is very big, if there is a conflict with Han Sui in advance, the person who cries is Zhang Xiang, a little distance Zhang Xiang feels just right.

As the saying goes, out of sight and out of mind, how Han Sui's army is making trouble, Zhang Xiang doesn't have to care, Han Sui's idle Zhang Xiang is really too lazy to care, and after that, the two armies go hand in hand.

As soon as the armies of Han Sui and Zhang Xiang separated, everything became calm, until they entered the jurisdiction of Chang'an City, and Zhang Xiang had received news that Li Dao had gathered all the armies in Chang'an City.

Chang'an is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, since it can accommodate so many soldiers and horses, Zhang Xiang has seen Chang'an City more than once, but every time he sees it, he will be shocked by his tallness, Chang'an City can be said to be a city that cannot be conquered from the outside.

Li Dao suddenly defended Chang'an, so that Zhang Xiang was also a little helpless, Zhang Xiang knew very well what Li Dao was waiting for, once Yuan Shao finished cleaning up the mess in Youzhou, he would definitely attack Bingzhou, and at that time Zhang Xiang would not be able to retreat.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xiang wants to take Yongzhou quickly, now it seems that this situation has become more difficult, Zhang Xiang of course thought about luring the snake out of the hole, but no matter how Zhang Xiang's soldiers scolded, there was no response.

Since Zhang Xiang arrived at the city of Chang'an, he has never seen Li Dao again, and now Zhang Xiang does not know where Li Dao is hiding, but Zhang Xiang can be sure that Li Dao is much better than himself.

Zhang Xiang is not wrong at all, Li Dao is now in the palace city, enjoying Dong Zhuo's beauty, living a fairy-like life, and now Li Dao is only accompanied by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was already completely disappointed in Li Dao, when Li Dao chose to defend Chang'an, Jia Xu understood that the city was broken sooner or later, and the best defense was to attack, which was also the best tactic of the Liangzhou army.

If it weren't for Li Wei staring at him all the time, Jia Xu would have run away at this time, and Jia Xu seemed to be enjoying all this.

In fact, he has been waiting for an opportunity, just when Zhang Xiang's side was at an impasse, Yuan Shao's side was going very smoothly, Yuan Shao personally went to Youzhou to quell the chaos, it can be said that Yuan Shao's mind has been revealed.

If Yuan Shao didn't want to seek to merge the state, he couldn't make a personal move, Yuan Shao led the army into Youzhou, and the first one was to fight Gongsun Du first, although Yuan Xi was not Yuan Shao's most important son.

But Yuan Shao won't watch others move him, let alone break the phase, Yuan Shao saw Yuan Xi's ears, and the first thing he did was to remove Ju Yi's right to command the army, Yuan Shao felt that Yuan Xi was to blame for breaking Ju Yi's appearance.

Ju Yi can accept all punishments, but it is unacceptable for Ju Yi to remove military power, Ju Yi actually resisted Yuan Shao in front of everyone, and said everything Yuan Xi did, Yuan Xi suddenly felt that everything was over.

But Yuan Xi knows very well that he must not let go, and if he refuses to admit that there is still a chance of life, if he admits it all, he will have no chance at all, "Father, Ju Yi is slandering him to escape punishment." ”

Hearing Ju Yi's words, Yuan Shao's face turned cold on the spot, Yuan Shao's subordinates were quite capable, but seeing that the wind made the rudder slip and beat the horse, they jumped up to speak for Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao didn't care if what Ju Yi said was true or false.

Ju Yi just can't let him lose face, Yuan Shao is the kind of person who regards face as life, Yuan Shao can not die, but he can't lose face, which is also Yuan Shao's pride as the son of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao actually beheaded Ju Yi in a fit of anger, although Tian Feng desperately opposed, but Yuan Shao was no longer the original Yuan Shao, and with the increase of territory, Yuan Shao began to slowly expand.

He could tolerate Tian Feng's uprightness, but now he can't bear it, which is also the embodiment of being able to endure hardships and not share wealth and prosperity, Yuan Shao was angry again, so he locked Tian Feng up again.

Yuan Shao had also imprisoned Tian Feng before, but it was not in wartime, it was the first time for Yuan Shao to detain Tian Feng on the battlefield, and no one objected to Yuan Shao's doing this, even the frustration that Yuan Shao valued was just a sigh, not to mention others.

In the end, Ju Yi died in the camp, Ju Yi's prestige in Jizhou is very high, and most of the Yuan troops under Yuan Shao are from Jizhou, so there is inevitably some sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but even if it is so to deal with a Gongsun Du, it is a matter of being captured.

The Yuan army invaded Liaodong, Yuan Shao also felt that the morale of the army was not high, and all Yuan Shao ordered to take Liaodong for three days, and then the morale of the sub-army was improved, when the first county town was breached.

The soldiers of the Yuan army enjoyed the benefits of indulgence, and their morale skyrocketed, but the people of Liaodong were miserable, and the current Liaodong Kingdom seemed to be as hot as purgatory under the attack of Yuan's army.

The soldiers tasted the sweetness, and gradually forgot about Ju Yi, after all, they still have to live, Ju Yi is not an indispensable person, Yuan Jun's morale recovered, and the siege and plundering the terrain along the way were like breaking foot.

This also gave Yuan Shao confidence, making him feel that Tian Feng was not essential, and Gongsun Du was also constantly retreating, in fact, when Yuan Shao's army entered Youzhou, Gongsun Du was preparing for the back road.

There is an island in the sea, and Gongsun Du has already transferred his family to the island, but Gongsun Du has been dominating the Liaodong Kingdom for many years, so he naturally has a lot of family background, which is why Gongsun Du chose to resist.

After all, there are too many family funds, and one more day can be transported away, so Gongsun Du requisitioned all the ships, but this news was known to Yang Xu, and the reason why Yang Xu did not follow Zhang Xiang with the army.

is to guard against Yuan Shao, Yang Xu, Zhang Xiang, and Cheng Yu are very clear that Yuan Shao must have a big move here, that is to say, the longer the rebellion in Youzhou and the state will be, the safer it will be, so Yang Xu can't watch Gongsun Du leave.

Just when the last county town of Liaodong Kingdom was not broken by Yuan's army, Yang Xu sent people to burn all the ships at sea, and for this moment, Yang Xu began to prepare from Yuan Shao's attack on Liaodong.

Yang Xu knew very well that the only way for Gongsun Du to save his life was to go to sea, how could Yang Xu let him go? When the ship burned, Gongsun Du felt that everything was over and he could not escape.

Gongsun Du knows very well that he can't surrender, if he surrenders at the beginning, there is still a chance of life, and now surrendering can only make him die faster, Gongsun Du is also a hero, and he will not be depressed.

He was still struggling to have a glimmer of hope of survival, and finally let Gongsun Du find a ship, Liaodong Kingdom is on the seaside, so there are some shipyards, and there is a ship that will be built in it, as long as Gongsun Du is guarding for seven days, this ship can go to sea.
