Frustrated into Puyangcheng, the high fever did not go away for days.

Yuan Xu was worried about this.

Outside the city, the siege of the Cao army is very tight, and Puyang City is already difficult to fly!

Yecheng!

Yuan Shao's residence, every discipline, trial and match stand in the house.

Since Jiang Qi and Meng Da reported to Yuan Shaoyu for the trial of the second son to serve Cao Cao, the trial and matching have rarely been summoned to the front of the meeting.

"Xian Xin defended Puyang, and Cao Cao led the army to besiege it." Yuan Shao said: "Hebei soldiers and horses have not yet been raised, and they can't send troops to help, what do you two think they should do?" ”

"The so-called digging its foundation and moving its roots." Feng Ji said: "Cao Cao led the army to besiege Puyang, and Yuan Gong should send troops to attack Xuchang!" ”

"Attack Xuchang?" Yuan Shao said: "Xuchang City is high Chijian, how many soldiers and horses do you need to break through?" ”

"It doesn't take much." Feng Ji said: "Cao Cao's army is outside, and Xuchang must be empty. Our army made a detour, and once the city was besieged, Cao Cao would definitely lead the army back to help. How shrewd is the fifth son? How could he not be able to catch the fighter plane and defeat Cao Jun with one body? ”

Yuan Shao did not immediately agree, but asked the judge: "What does Zhengnan think?" ”

"Seconded!" owes the favor of the discipline, how dare the judge disobey him?

Both of them felt that they could send troops to attack Xuchang, and Yuan Shao asked, "Who is the general?" ”

"Zhang He has arrived in Yecheng, and it is most appropriate for him to go to Xuchang!" Feng Ji said: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou died on the battlefield, Gao Ran and Gao Gan were busy recruiting soldiers and horses, and only Zhang He was available!" ”

looked at the trial again, but Yuan Shao didn't ask anything.

He could already see from the look on his face, even if he asked. It's just a seconding!

"Someone!" Yuan Shao instructed outside the house: "Quickly invite Zhang He to come to discuss the matter!" ”

The guards left in response, and it didn't take long for Zhang He to arrive.

Saluted to Yuan Shaoxing, and he bowed his hand to Feng Ji and the trial.

"Please come. but there is something important to discuss. Yuan Shao said: "Xian Xin defended Puyang to the death and blocked the northward advance of Cao's army. Our army has not yet been fully recruited, and it is not yet able to fight Cao Cao. Yuan Tu suggested that the general should lead the soldiers and horses to Xuchang to break through the city and rescue His Majesty. What does the general think? ”

made him go to Xuchang, Zhang He was stunned.

"Never!" Zhang He said: "The last general can lead the army to Puyang to help, but he can't attack Xuchang?" ”

"Why?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Although Cao Cao is leading the army, Xuchang is not an empty city." Zhang He said: "The army has passed 5,000. It is impossible to hide people's eyes! Thousands of soldiers and horses to seize Xuchang is nothing less than delusion! ”

"General Zhang!" Yuan Shao hadn't spoken yet, and Feng Ji had already said: "Xian Xin's son is defending against the enemy army in Puyang. Cao's army is fighting, and Puyang will be difficult to defend sooner or later. The general led three to five thousand men to go, even if he entered the city, what was the use except for consuming more food and grass? ”

Zhang He was about to argue. Feng Ji then said: "Cao's army is all in Puyang. The first line of Qingzhou Changgongzi led the army to block, although there was not much progress, but the enemy army was unable to move from east to west. Xuchang is just an empty city, why is it difficult to break? ”

"Xuchang is the foundation of Cao Cao, how can he leave an empty city?" Zhang He said: "Even if there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, it is definitely a division of tigers and wolves. led an army of 10,000, and the last general had no confidence to break. Don't say that thousands of people are trying to break it! ”

"General Zhang is not afraid?" Feng Ji's tone is a little strange.

Zhang He frowned, and his tone was not good: "What do you mean by Feng Gong's words?" ”

"It's all Hebei. There is no need to argue. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Yuan Shao said: "Yuan Tu's words are not unreasonable. He led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Xuchang. It would be nice if it could be broken. Even if it is not broken, Cao Cao should allocate troops and horses to return to the rescue, which is also to relieve Xianxin of some burden. ”

Yuan Shao also said the same, he did not agree with the march to Xuchang, and Zhang He could only receive orders.

In Puyang City, due to the siege of Cao's army, Yuan Xu could get less and less news.

More than ten days later, Zhang He led the army to leave Yecheng, and Yuan Xu didn't even know what was happening outside.

The back garden of Puyang official mansion.

He was lying on the mat, his face much better than the previous days, but he couldn't get up and walk yet.

The door was pushed open, and Yuan Xu entered the house.

"Frustrated?" Seeing that he woke up, he asked, "Do you feel better?" ”

"Five sons!" Frustrated, he tried to sit up, but finally lay down again due to physical exhaustion.

When he approached, Yuan Xu said: "Fu Gong's injury has not healed yet, so he should recuperate." ”

"A certain person has repaid his death, but he was saved by his son." Frustrated and sighed: "In the battle of Guandu, Hebei lost too much!" ”

"The battle of Guandu is in the past, and there is no need to think about it." Yuan Xu said: "Cao Junbing arrived in Puyang, our army is trapped and difficult to get out, and there is nothing to be done!" ”

"Childe is trapped here, nothing more than delaying time." Fu Zhu said: "There is no need to think too much about the strategy of breaking the enemy, the Cao army will attack the city by itself." ”

What Yuan Xu said, Yuan Xu had already thought of it.

He just felt that he had been trapped in Puyang City for too long, and the news from the outside world could not be transmitted at all, and in the long run, the Yuan family might not have done anything irreversible.

Cao Jun barracks outside the city.

Looking at Puyang City, Cao Cao was also a little anxious.

"Our army has besieged Puyang for more than a month, and we have been facing each other all day, but it has always been difficult to break it, do you have a way to take this city?"

"Cao Gong!" Xun You got up and said: "Puyang City is high Chijian, if our army is attacking, it is not impossible to break through. It's just that after the strong attack, the soldiers will suffer a lot of losses, and then march north to determine Yuan Shao's opponent. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Zhang He led the army to Xudu, this matter can be used!"

"How to use it?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"The army showed a state of panic and marched in the direction of Xuchang." Xun You said: "The siege of Puyang has been resolved, and Yuan Xianxin must know that Zhang He led the army to attack Xudu. Our army retreated, how could he not chase after him? ”

"Yuan Xianxin may not be able to chase." Guo Jia said: "Xudu is far away from here, if the defenders in the city are insufficient, it will be useless for Cao Gong to lead the army to come back to help." Our army retreated, how could Yuan Xianxin not see the reason? ”

"What do you think of Bonghyo?"

"Although what Gongda said is suspected of despising Yuan Xianxin, it is not unreasonable." Guo Jia said: "Our army retreated, and the matter of Zhang He's leading the army to Yecheng will definitely reach Yuan Xianxin's ears. With his wisdom, he should know that Zhang He is difficult to make contributions! When our army evacuated Puyang, he sent a messenger to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao to allow Zhang He to withdraw his troops. As for the defenders in the city, there may be a small force attacking our army, and breaking the city is only attacking the enemy! ”

Cao Cao already understood Guo Jia's intentions, and asked him: "The intention of filial piety is to be a little far away from Puyang, besiege the enemy who is attacking and harassing, and force Yuan Xianxin to come to his aid?" ”

"Cao Gong is wise!" Guo Jia saluted and said: "Everything is troubled, even if Yuan Xianxin is resourceful, how can he be comprehensive? ”

Xun You and Guo Jia proposed not to be in a hurry, and Cao Cao immediately said: "Storm Puyang, if there is no achievement, evacuate after three days!" (To be continued.) )
