Two days later, Yuan Shao led the remnants to finally arrive at Nanpicheng, the seat of Bohai County, at this time it was only less than 20 days before he led the people to crusade against Pingyuan County, but the original more than 10 thousand troops were only more than 16,000 people at this time, and all of them were disgraced.

"Guo Jia, can you be guilty?" After Yuan Shao arrived in Nanpi for an hour, he immediately convened a group of advisers and generals to discuss the matter, at this time several henchmen had already learned the specific experience of Yuan Shao's trip, and Xun Chen came out of the crowd at the beginning of the discussion, pointing the spearhead directly at Guo Jia, who was standing at the bottom.

As one of the earliest advisors who followed Yuan Shao, Xun Chen can be said to know Yuan Shao's temperament very well, and his purpose in targeting Guo Jia is of course to give Yuan Shao a step down and protect Yuan Shao's son.

Of course, Xun Chen also has the intention of looking for a scapegoat to restore the morale of Yuan Shao's subordinates, anyway, this Guo Jia looks like he is just a hairy boy of one or twenty years old, and it is very suitable to take it out to get out of the embarrassment for Yuan Shao.

"I heard that it was this son who came up with an idea, and only then did he lead zhì Taishou to have this defeat"

"Yes, Taishou has besieged Plains City for half a month, and if it drags on for two more days, the guards in the city will be self-defeating."

"This son should be severely punished!"

“”

As soon as Xun Chen Fang spoke, Yuan Shao's team of civil and military officers also echoed it, these people are all people who are well versed in Yuan Shao's temperament, and most of them thought of it with Xun Chen, and they wanted to find a substitute for Yuan Shao's defeat, so as not to save Yuan Shao's face.

Guo Jia was stunned by this situation, although Guo Jia had seen some of Yuan Shao's temperament before. Previously, he had also made some psychological preparations, planning to explain to Yuan Shao again, and took the initiative to ask for guilt. But that's just a matter of etiquette and the responsibility of subordinates to their superiors. Guo Jia didn't think that it was his own strategy that led Yuan Shao to fail.

After all, Guo Jia couldn't be clearer about the situation Yuan Shao was in at that time, if he hadn't appeared in time, Yuan Shao would have been defeated even worse in the end, and after he arrived under Yuan Shao's account, he first saw through the deliberate weakness of the defenders of the plains, and then blocked some losses caused by the heavenly spirit fire rain for Yuan Shao, and finally persuaded Yuan Shao to make up his mind to withdraw the army, and it can even be said that he directly got out of danger for him!

The only thing is that the opponent is also very strong, although Guo Jia has made several good plans for Yuan Shao in a row. However, most of them were recognized by the other party and responded in a timely manner, which was also the main reason for the final defeat of Yuan Shao.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, although Guo Jia was a direct participant in Yuan Shao's defeat, he minimized Yuan Shao's losses, and I am afraid that Yuan Shao himself is relatively clear at this point, but at this time, Yuan Shao was blinded too much by the impact of victory and defeat.

"Guo Jia, what do you think I should do with this matter?"

Although everyone present mainly punished Guo Jia, Guo Jia was only surprised at the beginning, and then returned to his usual breezy appearance, which naturally made him even more uncomfortable in Yuan Shao's eyes. So Yuan Shao asked directly.

Yuan Shao's inquiry undoubtedly established an attitude of blaming Guo Jia, which made Guo Jia's heart cold again. He originally had a glimmer of hope for Yuan Shao, but from this moment on, he was completely dead to Yuan Shao.

"Guo Jia thinks that he is at fault, please deal with it at will."

After all, Guo Jia was only about 20 years old at this time, and after being criticized by Yuan Shao and his subordinates for a while, even if he still maintained an indifferent look on the surface, he was actually churning very much in his heart, and he also showed some disposition intentionally or unintentionally.

"Thou! Thou shalt "

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Yuan Shao suddenly became even more angry, he originally thought that Guo Jia would say something to admit his mistakes and beg for mercy, but he didn't expect that Guo Jia didn't mean to beg for mercy, how could Yuan Shao get by on face?

"Arrogance!"

"Such fanatics deserve severe punishment"

“”

After Guo Jia finally spoke, it immediately caused a burst of anger among Yuan Shao's team of advisers and generals, and they all proposed Yuan Shao to punish Guo Jia.

"Prison for the time being, punishment later!"

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Jia twice while being angry, and said with disgust in his eyes.

"Let's go! Hurry up! ”

After getting Yuan Shao's fate, two guards on both sides of the hall immediately came out by mistake, pushed Guo Jia down, and threw him directly into the death prison.

If it were in the normal course of the game, there should not be this scene, and it is precisely because of Yang Rui's rise in Qingzhou that Guo Jia's experience has also undergone some changes, which Yang Rui would never have thought of anyway

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

“”

At this time, under the city of Dongpingshu, tens of thousands of foot soldiers who were coerced by Yan Liang and Wen Chou were still attacking the city, and the siege had lasted for two days, but they still failed to take the seemingly weak defense of Dongpingshu City!

Yan Liang and Wen Chou stood outside the south gate of Dongping Shucheng, both of them were quite helpless, if it weren't for the fact that all their soldiers were cavalry, they should have been forced to devote themselves to the siege war at this time, but unfortunately the cavalry was difficult to play much role in the siege war, so Yan and Wen could only wait.

However, to Yan Liang and Wen Chou's refreshment, there was already news from the scout cavalry, saying that Han Fu of Hejian Wencheng had sent tens of thousands of soldiers to rescue Dongping Shucheng, and they would arrive in about a day, so the two of them would not be too bored.

For Yan Liang, Wen Chou and their 40,000 6th-order Hebei iron cavalry, Han Fu's tens of thousands of reinforcements simply came to deliver food, which was just enough for the cavalry troops who had not been able to really kill the enemy since January to move their hands and feet.

"Report to the two generals, the Taishou army suffered a setback in Pingyuan County, and recruited the two generals to immediately lead the army to temporarily retreat to Nanpi City"

Just as Yan Liang and Wen Chou were about to launch a strong attack on Han Fu's reinforcements, the herald from Nanpi brought unexpected news, and the two were shocked and had to immediately start gathering troops and horses to prepare to retreat to Nanpi City.

"Report to General Han, Yuan Shaojun Yuan Shaojun suddenly retreated on all fronts!"

Han Dai in Dongping Shu City also quickly got the news of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's retreat, and suddenly stood up and came to the direction of the South City Gate, looking at Yuan Shao's troops who were receding like a tide, Han Dai came out with a deep sigh of relief.

Although Yuan Shao's siege soldiers have not posed a substantial threat to Dongping Shu City so far, the strength of Yan Liang and Wen Chou still makes Han Dai very jealous, once the two of them are directly involved in the siege battle, I am afraid that no one in the city will be able to stop these two people at all!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally repelled Yuan Shao's troops in Pingyuan County and took back all the lost county seats, Yang Rui was also relieved, at least in this stage of the confrontation, Yuan Shao did not bargain for anything.

At present, Yang Rui has too many things to deal with at hand, the promotion of the two systems in each county in Qingzhou needs to invest manpower, and at the same time, he must actively expand and develop troops, and then Yang Rui still wants to participate in the plot of [Dong Zhuo's Rebellion], as well as the migration of NPC civilians in Heyin County, I don't know if he has reached the boundary of Qingzhou in the past month

However, Yuan Shao's threat still exists, and while dealing with these things, Yang Rui still needs to invest a lot of personnel and troops in Pingyuan County; Moreover, it is also necessary to contact Jizhou Han Fu, because Yang Rui angered Yuan Shao, most of the pressure in the previous stage was borne by the Qingzhou side, and now it is necessary to take advantage of the victory to urge Han Fu.

So Yang Rui first sent an envoy to Jizhou, and Chen Lin still drafted the document. Since the first two times did not work, some elements of coercion were also expressed in this document, faintly expressing Yang Rui's intention to abandon the area north of the Yellow River and defend the Yellow River and Jishui! If Yang Rui really did this, it would be tantamount to throwing all the pressure from Yuan Shao's side to Han Fu.

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Rui to really give up the territory of Pingyuan County, but the first two times Yang Rui was kind to Han Fu, but there was no response, and this time Yang Rui faintly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Chen Lin is also very attentive to this matter, the first two documents drafted by him did not play their due role, which is undoubtedly a very faceless thing for Chen Lin, so Chen Lin is really angry when he is preparing the documents this time!

Yang Rui was also deeply touched by this after reading his documents, and realized what it means to be a real "literary criticism". In fact, Chen Lin's related skills are in the aspect of text derogation, so this document is more imposing, that is to say, Chen Lin is more suitable for writing essays.

In fact, after Han Fu got Yang Rui's second secret letter, he summoned his ministers and generals to agree on a more mature opinion, and sent an envoy to Pingyuan City to convey it, but at that time, Pingyuan City was surrounded by Yuan Shao's troops, and Yang Rui commanded the cavalry to make trouble in the rear of Bohai County, and the envoy returned to Jizhou after the envoy could not convey it, but Yang Rui and others did not know about it.

After recovering the various counties in the plain, it had taken three or four days, and Yang Rui was preparing to go to Qingzhou to start the expansion of the army first, but at this time, he unexpectedly received a secret letter from Yuan Shao's envoy!

"Yuan originally wanted to carve up Jizhou with me? Is that what he really thinks? In my opinion, it's just a delaying tactic."

After Yang Rui read the secret letter, he casually threw the letter on top of several cases, and looked at Yuan Shao's envoy in the hall with burning eyes. Who is this person, if this person is not Xun Chen? (To be continued......)
