0364: Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang extinguished the war
"Sandpipers and mussels compete, fishermen profit". Seeing that Yuan Shao's two sons are fighting vigorously, their strength is almost worn out.
Gao Yun decided to march into Jizhou, capture the city in one fell swoop, and defeat the remnants of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.
But before this order was transmitted, it was stopped by Jia Xu, "Lord, this matter still needs to be thought twice."
Gao Yun was stunned for a moment and asked Jia Xu, "Why did Wen He say this?" ”
Jia Xu asked Gao Yundao with a smile: "It is true that with the current situation, it is inevitable to attack Jizhou. But I don't know, how does the lord want to enter the army? ”
Gao Yun spread his hands, "Do you have any concerns?" The so-called 'soldier is fast and fast'. Of course, it is a large army to attack Jizhou City."
Jia Xu shook his head, "Lord, my subordinates think it's so inappropriate."
"Oh? Why? What's wrong? ”
Jia Xu said again: "Although Yuan Shao's momentum has been exhausted now, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang still have heavy troops in Taiyuan, Jixian and other places. If the lord drives a long way, it will naturally be easy to break Jizhou. However, the lord paid for himself, and if he could capture Yuan Shao's second son? ”
Gao Yun pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Not necessarily, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou City, although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have been fighting for so long, but the two of them have been increasing troops from Bentaiyuan and Jixian County, and there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under their command. Although our Huwei army is brave and good at fighting, we must guarantee that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will not escape. I really don't know the bottom of this."
Jia Xu nodded, "Yes, as the lord said." If the city of Jizhou is broken, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will inevitably wave their troops to break through and return to Taiyuan and Jixian. The Yuan family, who have lived in Hebei for a long time, has an intertwined relationship and is extremely complicated. If Yuan Tan and Yuan are not removed, it will be a trouble. In this way, the lord is bound to divide his troops to attack Taiyuan and Jixian again, and the labor army will consume his strength and delay for a long time. And even if the lord breaks Jixian, if Yuan Tan rushes into Liaodong and colludes with Karasuma, can the lord wave his army north to fight Karasuma at this time? ”
Gao Yun's heart was excited, he nodded again and again, and said to Jia Xu: "Wen He's words are really far-sighted. In the current situation, Cao Cao is in the neighborhood, and it is indeed impossible for us to go north to seek Karasuma. But in the sense of harmony and literature, how to enter the army? ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "With the intention of his subordinates, the lord can temporarily stay in Dongwu." Yuan Shao's second son didn't know why, and he would definitely not dare to move lightly. In this way, all the soldiers and horses of the Yuan family can be temporarily gathered in Jizhou. The four cities of Julu, Pingjiao, Wuxian, and Wuyi are all hundreds of miles away from Jizhou, and if the lord secretly sends troops to sneak attack, the enemy army will be difficult to detect. If the four cities are obtained, the retreat of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's grain roads will be cut off. At that time, the lord will enter Tunzaoqiang again and cut off the southeast road of Jizhou. The soldiers and horses from all walks of life only need to hold on, and the soldiers of Jizhou will be scattered with all their food."
Hearing Jia Xu say this, Gao Yun smacked his lips, thoughtfully, and asked: "Julu, Pingjian, Wuxian, Wuyi, plus Zaoqiang, this nowhere city can indeed enclose Jizhou City on all sides." But in this way, our forces are also dispersed, and if the Yuan army joins forces, they will break through together. Aren't we all the same? ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangshi are in the same fire, and they hate each other like enemies." Yuan Shang did not dare to go to Jixian County, and Yuan Tan did not dare to go to Taiyuan. How can you join forces to break through all the way? The old department under Yuan Shao's command has long been divided between the trial, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and Feng Ji, and they are not in harmony. The soldiers and horses in Jizhou City will inevitably fall apart. The lord only has to lay pockets on all roads and catch the enemy! ”
"Hmm!" After listening to Jia Xu's words, Gao Yun's eyes suddenly glowed, and he gave Jia Xu a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "The current situation strategy, the hearts of all walks of life, Lao Jia, you are really a last resort!" ”
Gao Yun was so happy that he called Jia Xu to Lao Jia. Jia Xu was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.
It is precisely in this way that there is a scene of the sudden success of the five soldiers and horses in the back.
Yan Liangwen was not too flustered, because Yuan Shao's condition was no longer possible to leave Jizhou City. So the two of them had already prepared to die to report to the master.
However, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao's own sons, were dumbfounded. Yuan Shang's soldiers, horses, grain and grass all came from Taiyuan, Zhang Fei occupied Julu, Zhao Yun occupied Pingjiao, and cut off Yuan Shang's grain and grass and back road.
Yuan Tan is the same, behind him is Jixian. However, Gan Ning and Zhang Xiutun Jun Wu County and Wuyi also completely cut off Yuan Tan and Ji County.
As the old saying goes, "grass grows on the head of the city god", the brothers were really panicked. At this time, it was a bit of a brotherly wall, and the two made an appointment with each other to discuss countermeasures. And invited Yan Liangwenchou and other Jizhou generals to participate.
This is inevitable, everyone understands the current situation, unless they huddle together for warmth, it will be difficult for everyone to live.
As far as marching and fighting are concerned, compared with Yan Liangwen and Chou, these people on the account are all dolls. Hebei Siting Pillar is not in vain.
The hall full of civil and military personnel, including Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, all looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with no dissatisfaction and expectation in their eyes.
Yan Liangwen and the ugly watched the two sons of the lord fight each other for more than a month, and the feeling in their hearts was not good. This suddenly saw that the two sons had the same hatred, and it also added a lot of relief.
Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou, who nodded slightly. Only then did Yan Liang speak: "Although the Tiger Wei Army is fierce now, in terms of strength alone, we are on a par with Gao Yun. If we can share the same hatred and unite with each other, the victory or defeat is not yet known. But if we kill each other again, everything will be over! ”
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang both knew that if they wanted to fight a big battle, they had to count on Yan Liangwen and ugliness. At this time, he couldn't care about the face of the son, and they vied with each other to express their position, willing to obey Yan Liangwen's ugly command.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou had both seen the thunderbolt cannons of the Huwei Army, and knew that it was useless to hold on to the city wall. Therefore, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were allowed to camp close to Jizhou City, and the original zigzag armament was shrunk a little so that it was convenient for each other to support each other.
The three parties made an agreement to temporarily take Yan Liang as the commander, and the soldiers and horses of the three routes supported each other and worked together to resist the Huwei army.
But what they didn't expect was that after Gao Yun marched from Dongwu to Zaoqiang, he stopped moving. For more than ten days, there was no sign of fighting at all.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's rations were eaten one after another, and Yan Liang had no choice but to allocate grain and grass from Jizhou to support them. However, there are still tens of thousands of people stationed in Jizhou City, and they have been in a stalemate with the Huwei Army for more than two months, and the grain and grass have also been exhausted.
Yan Liang couldn't sit still, and discussed with Wen Chou: "The Huwei army did not move the soldiers and horses, it must have expected that the grain in Jizhou City was insufficient, and they wanted to wait for our army's food and grass to run out, and the soldiers and horses would disperse themselves. Now more than 200,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside the city are spent, and the grain and grass in the city are about to run out. How good is that? ”
Wen Chou sighed and said with a wry smile: "If you and I combine the strength of you and me, it is not difficult to lead the soldiers in the city and break through the siege. Today, however, the lord is in critical condition. If you break through at this time, most of the lords will die on the way. Then you and I are both guilty of great crimes. However, if you don't leave at this time, the grain and grass will run out, and the soldiers will scatter, and you and I will die at the hands of Gao Yun. Why bother talking about the matter of taking life and righteousness."
