Chapter 431: Liu Yuan Meets
It's not good to judge secretly, he really knows Yuan Shao too well, and his indecisive personality can't be changed. With his Yuan Shao's urine, he will definitely find a way to save Xu You in the future.
Immediately, he tried to persuade bitterly, "Lord, don't mention the matter of Xu Yu, we should find a way to take Xiguan as soon as possible." You must know that our army of 350,000 is outside, and the burden of grain and grass itself is very heavy, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. Don't put your great cause elsewhere for the sake of a promise. ”
Yuan Shao almost did his best to attack this time, if it weren't for the support of countless families behind him, I'm afraid he might not be able to make such a big move. But those big families can't give everything they have, it's just Yuan Shao, and his strength is insufficient. Therefore, the longer this time drags on, the more he Yuan Shao will have no chance. Of course, he is also a little selfish in his trial. He really didn't want that Xu Yu to be rescued.
Yuan Shao's face darkened when he heard this, obviously in deep thought, on one side was his own henchman and on the other hand, his own great cause, he Yuan Shao was hesitant enough.
"No, Zhengnan, Ziyuan is kind to me, I won't abandon him at this time." In the end, Yuan Shao shook his head and said.
After hearing this, the judge immediately stopped fighting, but at the same time, he was also a little moved in his heart. After all, this Yuan Shao is still good to their subordinates, and he didn't treat these subordinates as outcasts, and he threw them away when he didn't need them, which was already very commendable.
As for the anger, it is purely because Yuan Shao doesn't care about the overall situation. He couldn't wait to scold at this moment. That Xu Yu is kind to Yuan Shao. Isn't it that when the two of you were young, you went to spy on other people's baths together, and in the end, Xu You helped you become a scapegoat? That Xu Yu talked about it every time. He heard calluses coming out of his ears.
"My lord, the great cause is the most important." The judge said bitterly. Although he already knew in his heart that since Yuan Shao had made a decision, he would not change, but he still couldn't help but want to remind him.
Yuan Shao waved his hand to stop the trial, and said impatiently, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind." If I attack Naxiguan at this time, and Liu Yao'er threatens me with Xu Yu's life, what should I do. I'm messing up right now. So let's wait two days and see how it goes! At least I want to know that Ziyuan is still alive. ”
"Lord...... Ay! The judge sighed helplessly and stopped talking, he knew that no matter what he said now. That's useless. Since Yuan Shao wants to do this. Then do as he wishes. Anyway, if it drags on for a few days, as long as it doesn't take long, it's not too much of a problem.
"Lord, let's do it, five days, after five days, you have to prepare for taking Xiguan no matter what, we can't afford to delay it." In desperation, the trial could only think of such a compromise solution. As for why it's five days. That's also because in five days, the minor injuries of Yan Liangwen and Chou were almost healed. And the previous defeated armies can also be resettled. At that time, their army will be able to regain its strongest combat strength.
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.
The trial couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if Yuan Shao didn't even agree to this condition, he really didn't know what to do.
Five days passed quickly. He Yuan Shao finally recovered under the constant nagging of the trial, and he no longer felt a little decadent. As for Xu Yu's news, just kidding. With Yuan Shao's little ability, how could he get any information from Liu Yao's side. He Yuan Shao didn't have any news at all, and he didn't even know whether Xu You was dead or alive.
And on this day, he Yuan Shao didn't want to wait any longer, and restored his heroic nature, and the 300,000-strong army marched towards Naxi Pass.
Xiguan, Liu Yao and others had already received the news of Yuan Shao's movements. Therefore, Liu Yao and the others went up to the city wall early. Being able to delay Yuan Shao's time for five days, Liu Yao was already very satisfied. Secret Dao is the value of this Xu Wei. But I don't know how much he can use it.
Looking at Yuan Shao's 300,000 army below, no one had half a point of fear. For Liu Yao, as long as he holds this Xiguan for more than half a month, it will be enough. It has been ten days since Tai Shi Ci and they left Youzhou. Although it will be a little farther to Qingzhou from the sea, it is better to be stable, and in ten days, the 50,000 troops of his Tai Shici and Xi Zhicai have almost arrived in Qingzhou.
With their strength, coupled with Kong Rong's soldiers and horses, it will take less than half a month to pacify Qingzhou, and then the end of Yuan Shao will come.
"Lord, then Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are just local chickens and dogs, why don't I directly lead the troops down and destroy them." Zhang Fei looked at Yuan Shao's 300,000 soldiers and horses below and shouted disdainfully. It's as if it wasn't 300,000 soldiers, but 300,000 ants.
"Shut up!" Liu Yao scolded angrily. Liu Yao was also very disdainful of Yuan Shao at random, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that Yuan Shao's 300,000 soldiers and horses were not all straw bales. Although Liu Yao also has an army of 100,000, if he really fights head-on, I am afraid that he will still lose a lot. And he obviously has the advantage of the city wall, so why bother to play any field battles, isn't that an idiot.
"Bonghyo, look there." Liu Yao pointed to the army behind Yuan Shao and said.
Guo Jia hurriedly raised his clairvoyance and looked over, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is ......"
Where Guo Jia entered the target, there was an army of about 100,000, 30,000 cavalry and about 70,000 infantry. But the difference is that these 100,000 troops are not straw bales, but real elites. Each of the infantrymen was dressed in uniform light armor and held a halberd in his hand. And the most important thing is Yuan Shao's 30,000 cavalry, which are all equipped with their horse and three treasures in Youzhou.
Liu Yao's brows also furrowed, and he said, "It seems that our treasures such as Youzhou horseshoe stirrups have been spread, but I don't know if there are any other princes besides this Yuan Shao." But it doesn't matter, after all, now we are defending the city, and the cavalry can't use their strength. However, the army holding the halberd is the elite halberd warrior carefully trained by Yuan Shao, which should not be underestimated. ”
In Liu Yao's impression, there should not be so many halberds in history. But now, somehow, it's doubled. You must know that it is not so easy to train a halberd, and the money in it is a huge amount, and I don't know where he Yuan Shao came from.
Although the base of this euphorbia is larger, and the combat effectiveness of the individuals in it will definitely decline a little, but in terms of overall strength, it is much larger than before. It's like Liu Yao's assault battalion. With such an army, I am afraid that it will bring a lot of casualties to Liu Yao.
"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, this Yuan Shao doesn't dare to go all out. Otherwise, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will not be so easy for him to dominate the world at that time. Guo Jia said lightly.
"Yes!" Liu Yao nodded, not saying anything.
"Liu Yao'er, dare to go down to the city to see you!" Yuan Shao's army originally stayed in a place five miles outside Xiguan, and he left the protection of the army and stayed away from the army under the support of Yan Liangwen and the ugly judge.
"Hehe, Fengxiao, I thought this Yuan Shao was really bold, and he dared to come to see me like this. But look at where Yuan Shao is. Liu Yao scoffed.
Guo Jia glanced at it casually, but didn't find anything unusual, and said helplessly, "What's wrong with Yuan Shao, isn't it just standing farther away, what's the ......" Speaking of this, Guo Jia stopped abruptly, glanced at Liu Yao's side with strange eyes, and his eyes were suddenly full of laughter.
It turned out that Yuan Shaozhan's position was about six or seven hundred steps away from Xiguan, and I thought that Yuan Shao already knew that Liu Yao's army was able to hit the shuai banner five hundred steps away, so he stood a little farther away, he was afraid that Liu Yao would send someone to shoot him directly.
Liu Yao smiled knowingly and shouted, "Why don't you dare!" After speaking, he glanced at Guo Jia, Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong. The three of them understood and followed Liu Yao down the city wall. As for the secret weapon of the survey, it is better to keep it first, and no one knows him anyway.
Soon the gate of Xiguan was opened. Liu Yao rode his own mount, Huang Feidian, with a mixed yuan thunderbolt axe in his hand that had not been used for a long time, and walked slowly towards Yuan Shao. Guo Jia was a little behind Liu Yao's left side, while Hua Xiong and Zhang Fei were like two guards, guarding the two of them. There are four people on Yuan Shao's side, and there are also four people on his side, which is fair.
Soon Liu Yao came to Yuan Shao's face, and suddenly Yan Liang and Hua Xiong, Zhang Feiyu and Wen Chou looked at each other angrily. When enemies see each other, they are naturally extraordinarily red-eyed.
And the judge looked at Guo Jia curiously. Now Guo Jia, as the first strategist under Liu Yao, and Liu Yao's brother-in-law, knows about it. He was also very curious about what kind of ability this young man in his early twenties had. And Guo Jia is old, he glanced at the matching casually, and then stopped looking at him, as if saying that your matching is not worthy of my attention.
As for Liu Yao, he was naturally facing Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's gaze drifted to the Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt Axe in Liu Yao's hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and his left shoulder instantly felt a little painful. Four years ago, he Yuan Shao was crushed by this axe, and the incident appeared in his Yuan Shao's mind in an instant. Although the injury has healed now, I can't forget the humiliation at that time.
