Chapter 222: In One Sentence
The blood was not dry, and it still exuded the "smell" of heat and tension
The civil and military forces of the Jizhou army glared angrily, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Yuan Shao changes his attitude at this time, then Li Yu and the others will no longer face wine and delicacies, but swords, guns and fighting, everything depends on Yuan Shao
Life is rare to be confused, Yuan Shao is confused a lot of the time, but at this time he did not express any dissatisfaction, just frowned, and slowly spoke after a long time: "Han Qiong doesn't know the general situation to cause this, let me wait for the disappointment, but at this time we should be happy?"
Just suffered a big defeat! I'll admit that even I was a little excited about the aftermath of the catastrophe, and even had a feeling of winning the battle! Let the family beat up like a lost dog and flee here! Still in the encirclement of others!
Glad? If it weren't for Mr. Li Yu's clever plan to gain a firm foothold in Pancheng in advance, if it weren't for the soldiers of Cao Jun to accept us, if it weren't for General Ju Yi's sacrifice of life and death to block Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan; If it weren't for the Jizhou soldiers, they would not be afraid of life and death
You, you, you! Tell me! Who else can stand here unharmed! What's more, they even ignore military law! - Damn it! Foreign enemies are eyeing each other, and they still want to provoke civil strife? Is that how you help me? Huh? β
Yuan Shao was a little excited, his former demeanor had long been thrown aside, the small couch in front of him was overturned aside, the bronze wine bottle was also deformed, his chest kept rising and falling, his eyes swept around his subordinates, and the person who touched his eyes hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak
How powerful is the alliance between Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan? In terms of combat effectiveness alone, I am afraid that compared with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army back then, it is better than that, and its combat effectiveness is also more ferocious, and the number is not lagging behind, precisely because of these superficial and easy-to-see truths, Yuan Shao was awakened; Told him that this is really not the time to make extraneous branches, the external enemy is fierce, and there will be civil strife again? Then he really has to explain here that he is a hundred and ten pounds, isn't it just for a face?
There is only one reason why the Jizhou army looks at Cao Jun unpleasantly from top to bottom, that is, their embarrassed appearance was seen by Cao Jun, and Cao Jun's appearance was much better than them
It's very simple, it's just that none of these people want to take the failure on their heads, and no one wants to swallow the bitter fruits of failure, they want to find scapegoats, and they want to pass these onto others, not only the civil and military forces of Jizhou, but even Yuan Shao was the same at the beginning; But as a monarch, he should have a bearing, a sober attitude, he is sober earlier than others, he frankly bears the heavy responsibility of failure, and does not avoid reality and face problems; Only by facing the problem with a low profile can it be possible to solve the problem
In the camp outside the city, the state army and the Youzhou army are happily boiling water and boiling meat, a big victory can give them a lot of things, grain and grass, baggage, weapons are very important, and more importantly, that breath!
Even for those who choose to join the army for food, there is no one who doesn't like a piece of dog shit stuck to people's shoes, but they don't know that dogs are also declaring victory
The cavalry was not good at attacking the city, and the fierce battle from morning to night had exhausted the Bingzhou army and the Youzhou army, as the leaders, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan also decided not to carry out risky night raids, but to enjoy this rare victory; Lu Bu once taught Gongsun Chan a lesson, so far General Baima still has that arrow mark on his body, General Baima is very embarrassed before the Tiger Prison, maybe it was also the most humiliating moment in his life, these are irrelevant, standing from different angles, you have to look at things and people differently; In the past, General White Horse thought that LΓΌ Bu was a tiger and an executioner, but now General White Horse will only look at it in his eyes, and will only think that LΓΌ Bu is an extreme nationalist like him, their methods of dealing with foreigners are as violent, they are just as brave and good at fighting, and most importantly, they finally defeated Yuan Shao by joining forces with him; It's not that he hasn't defeated Yuan Shao, it's just that he hasn't been so happy; Lu Bu is also very eye-to-eye with Gongsun Zhan, the two cooperate very happily, this meeting can be regarded as a smile and enmity, and the conversation is very happy, Lu Bu praised General Baima for seeing the international situation clearly, the two sides are mutually beneficial, and General Baima recognized the legitimacy of the territorial sovereignty of the god of war and the state.
In short, the leaders of the two sides of the Youxia Alliance were very happy, and the Yubi Alliance was also very happy, and the atmosphere was a hundred times better than that of the Yuan Cao Alliance
"Wen Hou! Former general! There is no word in the next word, unpleasant! When the wine was half-drunk, Chen Gong stepped forward and said loudly; Gongsun Zhan's former general officer position was the first time Cao Cao used the reputation of the Han Emperor after getting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu was also a former general, so that there were two former generals in the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu were allies in the past, and they were also the so-called "Shu forces"; Not only that, but there were also two generals of Fenwu, Zhengxi, etc., on the Han River, on the one hand, Cao Cao sold a good son to the princes and bigwigs, and it was also to provoke their relationship, which is also the origin of Gongsun Zhan's official position; Who doesn't know anyone after being together for a long time! Is it not, as soon as Chen Gong opened his mouth, Lu Bu put down the wine bottle with a displeased face, sometimes he likes to make some children's tempers, which is also the reason why he can't become a monarch and a handsome talent; Chen Gong touched his nose embarrassedly, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but it was time to start speaking, which is also the style that a courtier and a minister should have, and gave a slight salute: "Wen Hou, former general!" Although we forced Yuan Shao into this small climbing city, the difference in strength between the two sides is not big!
The strength of the Yuan Cao coalition army has reached 24,400,000 people, and even if it is more in today's battle, it will only lose 70,000 or 80,000 people, and our loss of men and horses may be less than theirs, I'm afraid there will be 40,000 or 50,000 people! The strength of the two sides is equal, we have more cavalry, they are infantry, if we fight in the field, of course we can win, but they hold on to the city! β
"Yes! Reasonable! Sir don't have to worry about it, just speak freely! Lu Bu put on a stinky face, and at this time, the only one who could laugh was Gongsun Zhan, who was equal to him, and General Baima smiled and posed to please;" At this time, the key to determining victory or defeat is morale, military strategy, and food and grass! We have an unrivaled advantage in the first two, and what is difficult is grain and grass! We only have one day's bread! Not enough to sustain a long siege! Seeing that the opportunity to eliminate Yuan Shao was imminent, but because of the food and grass, even Chen Gong couldn't help but show regret.
"I'm wrong about the public stage! So what should we do? As soon as Lu Bu heard that there was only one day of food and grass, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, his old nest Hanoi and Shangdang were already full of holes, and in the center of the battlefield, it was even more difficult to restore the grand occasion!
The priority was to find supplies for the army; Seeing that his lord finally paid attention to this issue, Chen Gong felt a lot better, and twisted his beard: "Maybe we can change our thinking!" Jizhou"
"In Mr. Wilder's opinion, what should we do? What if Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan attacked Pancheng? After Yuan Shao vented, he put on a smiling face and didn't ask these people under him, because he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, it would be another mess, so it was better to let outsiders intervene
"Huh!" , Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually laughed: "Don't worry about Yuan Gong!" These are small things! Just don't forget about our pay! β
"What do you mean by that? Will our lord send you that little bit of grain and grass? When is it, and I still have the heart to laugh! It doesn't matter if Li Yu smiled, but it aroused the anger of the public, coupled with his casual words, it made people even more angry, and the Yuan family's relatives and nobles who had been sitting in the state scolded angrily!
"Eat! Such a rush? Death! Wei Yan, who was entangled in the horse out of the limelight, and Wei Yan, who had been unknown all along, was nesting fire, and raised his head and scolded back unceremoniously;" All right! Wen Chang! Don't be like the little bastard! Li Yu waved his hand and looked at Yuan Shao's dissatisfied face: "If it is not bad as expected, the Hidden Union Coalition Army will withdraw in two days at the latest, and it may even be possible to withdraw tomorrow morning!" β
"Withdrawal? Why the withdrawal? They firmly occupy the active position", everyone in the hall was puzzled, and there was a lot of commotion, but Yuan Shao asked this question; "Without him! Only grain and grass fungus! β
"Not good!" , Yuan Shao's subordinates are not all wine bags, rice bags, embroidered pillows, Li Yu came up with the reason, Xu Yu immediately shouted badly: "Lord! Jizhou is in danger! We don't have much grain and grass, and the same goes for Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan! And the closest and richest place is Jizhou! Only there can you get supplies! β
Can the land of Hanoi and Shangdang be compared with Jizhou? Jizhou, which has been in business for a long time and has a strong foundation, is a place of fortune coveted by any prince! Even if Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan had no intention of occupying it, just destroying it would make Yuan Shao's heart ache, right?
Yuan Shao's head hurt, and he stumbled under his feet
When the time came, the sky was slightly bright, the drums outside the city shook the sky, the war horses neighed, and the trampling sound like thunder spread far and wide, and the generals who had been dealing with the cavalry for many years had judged that a large number of cavalry had moved to the east, and the east was Jizhou!
"Newspaper! The army outside the city is moving! Straight to the East! The voice of the herald made Yuan Shao's crumbling body finally fall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Yuan Shao's mouth: "Hurt me!" β
Li Yu is right!
