July, early on.

The beacon fire in the north, the wolf smoke is thousands of miles, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, since it is a messy war, blood and fire are staggered, and the chaos is endless.

The attack and defense of Yecheng have been fought for five days, and the Wei army's attack on the city wall is more ferocious than one wave.

Cao Cao was determined to kill Jin and Yuan this time, so he used all his forces to make a desperate bet against this majestic Jin capital.

After the first battle of Guandu, although many Jin troops were captured, these troops not only could not help, but also had to disperse the Wei army's forces to take care of them.

The Wei army can now go north and there are not many soldiers and horses, so the Wei army can only storm the southern and eastern cities of Yecheng.

As for the two gaps in the West City Gate and the North City Gate, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and finally handed over Ma Chao's iron cavalry to defend outside the city, so as to wait for work and prevent a breakthrough.

After defeating Gao Gan's cavalry, Ma Chao led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to garrison the plain outside Beicheng and waited for the result of the Battle of Yecheng.

Faced with Cao Cao's request, he agreed.

Because he also understands in his heart that only now that Yuan Shao has been completely taken, Jizhou and Bingzhou can be regarded as ownerless, and Liangguo can rightfully take over Bingzhou.

Besides, it was not difficult for him to work as a cavalryman.

The south gate of Yecheng.

As the battlefield of the main attack of the Wei army, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, personally led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the city gate, tens of thousands of troops, gathered Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, and several fierce generals in Yu Ban, to storm the city gate day and night.

"Kill!"

"It's close to the city wall, quickly lift the ladder up, sons, set up the ladder and rush in!"

"Crash cars. Quick, quick, knock open the gates! ”

"The king has an order, at any cost, he must rush in, before sunset. I want to take the city! ”

"The one who enters the city first is the Hou!"

“……”

The Wei army that was besieging the city had high morale, they fought all the way from Guandu, and even the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin State were defeated by them, so they were naturally not afraid of a city.

And this is their king Cao Cao in person, and they naturally scream and charge forward one by one.

"Block, block!"

"Sons, our reinforcements are coming. As long as you block this period of time, you must hold on! ”

"For the sake of the Jin Kingdom, and for the sake of the king, kill the enemy!"

"Kill!"

“……”

And the Jin army defending the city, in the face of the bloody attack of the Wei army, was not weak in morale, and they were judged to be frustrated and others, even regardless of the danger. Go to the city in person and boost the morale of the soldiers.

Of course. In today's situation, the enemy is outnumbered, and the city gate has almost been breached by the Wei army several times.

They even forcibly requisitioned tens of thousands of young men from the city to defend the city, and finally they were able to defend the city gates.

With tens of thousands of young men, they could barely be regarded as blocking the first wave of the Wei army's powerful offensive.

On the seventh day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Under such a high-intensity assault now, the Wei army was unable to take Jincheng in one fell swoop, and could only propose a temporary truce.

In just seven days, the corpses were pushed up and down the city. Blood had stained the gates of the city.

——————————————————————————————

In Yecheng, the night is vast.

In the royal palace, the lights are bright.

Yuan Shao, the king of Jin, has recovered a trace of his spirit in the past few days, barely maintaining a sober state, this night, after he drank a bowl of millet porridge, he received a frustration, trial, and a few people.

"Gonghe, how's the war going outside?"

In a side hall, Yuan Shao looked frustrated and asked in a harmonious voice.

Even if he was in the deep palace, he could clearly hear the sound, how fierce it was, and he naturally understood it in his heart.

"King!" Hearing this, his face sank for a while, and finally shook his head, and said: "Today, the Wei army has withdrawn, although we have blocked the first wave of the Wei army's offensive, but at most three days, the Wei army will launch a second attack, Cao Cao is now iron-hearted, he must take Yecheng, Yecheng may not be able to stop for long!" ”

He knew very well in his heart that Cao Cao had no choice but to force his troops, and some people in Wei were also in turmoil, and he could only stabilize the situation in Wei by completely breaking through Yecheng.

"Yecheng can't stop Cao Mengde's footsteps?" When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was a little gloomy, and his eyes swept over: "You think so too!" ”

"King!" He sighed and said softly: "What the prime minister said is not an exaggeration, the strong attack of the Wei army for several days has caused too many casualties to our sons, and those young people who have not experienced battlefield training, even if they go to the battlefield, they have become a burden to us, Yecheng, I am afraid we will not be able to support it for long!" ”

"I don't believe it!" When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes were full of anger, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he said coldly: "Lone will not be defeated, and he will definitely not be defeated by Cao Mengde, a cheap son after the eunuch, what about Gao Gan, shouldn't his cavalry arrive in Yecheng early in the morning?" ”

When several people heard Yuan Shu's words, they looked at each other, and their expressions were ugly.

In the end, Feng Ji stood up and said: "King, according to our scout's report, General Gao's cavalry has been defeated by Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and now that he has fled north to Handan, I am afraid it will be difficult to assist us in defending Yecheng!" ”

"What?"

Yuan Shao's eyes were cold, his pupils shone with a devouring light, and he asked and asked in disbelief: "The Western Liang Iron Horse of the Liang Country?" Why are they in Jizhou? ”

"King, according to the news of our Eagle Yangwei!" The judge sighed, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Cao Cao seems to have surrendered the state to the Liang country, so he invited the elite soldiers of the Liang country, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" ”

"Lonely and merged? What a Cao Mengde! When Yuan Shao heard this, he was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood, and his expression became more and more yin, and even a little hideous.

Merging the state is his Jin Kingdom, when did it become a bargaining chip for Wei and Liang to make a deal.

"The King?"

When a few people saw it, they looked shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look.

"It's okay to be alone!" Yuan Shao was also stiff, wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, forcibly held his spirits, and looked at a few people. He asked, "Do you have a way to retreat?" ”

"King, let's break through!" Fu Zhu thought for a while, his eyes were shining, and he said in a low voice: "We can't hold Yecheng, but as long as we retreat to Handan, there is still hope for the Jin Kingdom." ”

Yecheng is the capital of Jin. But it is not a Jizhou barrier, and it can be said that Handan, the capital of Zhao in the past, can be regarded as a real strong fortress.

"King, what the prime minister said is very true!"

The judge nodded hurriedly and responded: "The general has recruited 50,000 strong men in Handan and trained them, although the training time is good, but there is no problem in holding Handan!" ”

"This is the lonely capital of the Jin Kingdom!"

Yuan Shao's face was ugly. He raised his head, his eyes swept over the three of them, his expression was persistent, and he said coldly: "If you don't go, you want to be here in Yecheng, and fight to the death with Cao Mengde!" ”

He has been entangled with Cao Mengde for too long, and he doesn't want to be entangled like this anymore.

"The King. Don't be rash, please think twice! ”

The three of them heard this. Hurriedly crawled on the ground and advised in unison.

Frustrated, he raised his head and said righteously: "Yecheng can't support it for long, for the sake of the future of the Jin Kingdom, let's break through!" ”

"Phew!"

Yuan Shao's face turned cold, and he let go and pulled out his long sword. Pointing at the three of them, he said coldly: "Lone said, Lone is not leaving, you don't need to persuade Lone, he Cao Mengde wants to break through Lone's Yecheng." It's best to ask if the sword in Lone's hand is willing, Lone decided to defend the city, fight to the death in Yecheng, there are opponents, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

He cut off a kick in the bookcase with a sword to clarify his mind.

When the three of them saw it, they immediately understood Yuan Shao's determination, and they could only look at each other helplessly.

In the end, he persuaded again: "The king, since this is the case, please also ask the king to give an order to let the general quickly speed his troops south, and now only the general can solve the siege of Yecheng!" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he didn't continue to be persistent this time, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "According to your words, let Ju Yihuo lead his troops south!" ”

"No!"

Frustrated with joy in his heart.

————————————————————————————

After a few days of siege, there was already a mess in the city, and many wealthy families were a little worried about the situation outside the city.

It was the dead of night.

The largest Haoqiang family in the city, in the Fang family's mansion, in a dark side hall, only an oil lamp was shining, but there were five or six patriarchs of the Fang family who had a good relationship with the Fang family.

They gathered together for the arrival of Jia Xu, the great commander of the Wei State.

Jia Xu had a thin scar on his face, and he sat cross-legged on the side.

"The conditions proposed by our Wei State are already quite generous, so I gave you three days to think about it, how are you thinking about it now?"

Jia Xu's voice was calm, but there was a cold artistic conception.

"Commander Jia, will King Wei really be willing to accept us?" The heads of the family were a little swaying, and they could only look at Jia Xu with hopeful eyes and asked.

"Commander Jia, we are naturally willing to defect to the Wei State, but we are afraid that the Wei State will turn its face and be ruthless when the time comes!"

One of the people on the left spoke, sighing.

"Everyone, our Wei State is not the Yellow Turban Army of the past!" Jia Xu picked up the hot tea, blew a breath of hot air gently, and then took a sip, and after half a sound, he said leisurely: "Our Wei State took Yecheng, naturally we want to manage Yecheng, if we want to manage Yecheng, I'm afraid you can't do it, Lord Xu Yu was still Yuan Shao's confidant in the past, and now he is in a high position, King Wei is eloquent and broad-minded, not the villain Yuan Shao can compare!" ”

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, thought about it and decided together.

The master is the old head of the Fang family, the old place in Yecheng, he looked at Jia Xu and said, "We naturally believe in the Wei State, and we also want to believe in the King of Wei, but we don't know what Commander Jia needs us to do?" ”

"I heard that most of the 10,000 reserve young men guarding the West City Gate are tenants and government soldiers of your major families, right?"

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly and asked.

"That's right!" The old head of the Fang family nodded.

"You wait for my news, and at the right time, let them defect to the Wei army, and open the city gate from the inside, okay?" Jia Xu asked.

"Commander Jia, in addition to our young men in the West City Gate, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, if this is the case, the casualties of our family's sons are very large!" Some people are reluctant to do so.

"If you want to defect to the Wei State, you must have some sincerity!"

Jia Xu was not in a hurry to taste tea, and said lightly: "Otherwise, why would our Wei State take you in?" ”

"Commander Jia, your invitation, the old man agreed, but what you promised, I hope it can be fulfilled!"

The old head of the Fang family said coldly.

"Of course, the integrity of Wei Guo is unquestionable, wait for my news!" Jia Xu smiled, took the hat, and took advantage of the night to leave the Fang family.

"Everyone, go back and prepare, since we have chosen to take refuge in the Wei State, we must show sincerity, now that the ship of the Jin State is about to sink, we naturally can't sink with them." The old master of Fang looked at the masters of the family and said lightly.

"That's all there is to it!"

The heads of the family nodded, and then took advantage of the night to quietly return to their homes.

The Fang family at night was majestic, but there was a hint of gloom, and the old master of the Fang family looked at the figures who left the Fang family one by one, standing on the corridor with a cane, his eyes were very complicated.

"Uncle Fang!" Han Tao's voice appeared silently behind him.

"As you expected, the Wei State really plotted against us!" Old Master Fang didn't look back, but said lightly: "Jia Xu persuaded all of us in just a few words!" ”

"This person is the commander of the ghost pawn of the Wei State, and my Wu State's henchmen are in great trouble, how can he not have some real skills!" Han Tao said with a smile: "He plotted against the heroes in the city, because this is the only way for them to reduce the damage of the siege, he will do it, I am not surprised at all, because, if we change the siege of our Wu State, we will do the same!" ”

"Xiao Tao, you let us promise him, why?" Old Master Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at this handsome young man.

The Fang family and the Han family are married, the Fang family is not a family, but in Yecheng, it is an old powerful force, and there is no need for the family to have a weak influence.

In the past, in order to win over the Fang family, Han Fu married a daughter to the Fang family.

Han Fu is kind and talented, and he is very recognized by the old family owner, the relationship between the two families has always been very good, and Han Tao has always regarded this old family owner as a relative.

"You have to agree, then it's just a favor!"

Han Tao put his hands behind his back, his eyes had a touch of murderous intent, and said: "Yecheng is breached, it will be sooner or later, if you don't agree, after the Wei army enters the city, the first one to clean up is you, as for me, I also want them to break through Yecheng, so that I can personally cut off Yuan Shao's head to sacrifice my Han family!" ”

The revenge of killing his father and destroying the door is not shared, so he disobeyed the order of Jinyiwei to evacuate, and stayed in Yecheng just to be able to personally cut off Yuan Shao's head. (To be continued......)

PS: There is also a shift today, and there was an accident at work in the past two days, and it will be made up later!
