Chapter 12 Yuan Shao's End Road
On the second day, Yan Liang challenged the city again as promised, this time, he learned the lesson of yesterday and did not ride a war horse again, unless the legendary psychic peerless horse, ordinary BMW Liangju could not withstand this intensity of confrontation at all, so this time he chose to fight on foot.
"Husband, the other party's army is not all here, I'm afraid there is fraud!" Behind Li Xuan, Zhao Min's agile beautiful eyes did not pay much attention to the earth-shattering decisive battle under the city, but placed them on the enemy army formation further away, frowning.
Zhao Min has learned through hundreds of schools, the so-called hundred schools of thought not only refer to hundreds of schools of martial arts, Qimen Dunjia, Yin and Yang Five Elements are involved, plus after following Li Xuan, he has been exposed to more things, and what he has learned in his chest is also all-inclusive, among them, the art of war strategy is even above martial arts.
Although the other party could use various means to cover up, Zhao Min still saw through it at a glance.
"Somewhat hastened." Li Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "It's a pity, it's late, if Min Min is interested, you might as well play with him." ”
"Is the army in the city at my disposal?" Zhao Min's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Xuandao.
"Yes." Li Xuan looked at Zhao Min dotingly, nodded and said, all of his women are not vases, each has extraordinary abilities, among them, Zhao Min and Shen Luoyan have good attainments in military and political affairs, Li Xuan naturally will not let them be buried, as for secular traditions, this kind of thing, for Li Xuan now, the constraints are not big, in fact, in the three planes that Li Xuan has occupied, the use of female talents has begun to enter the implementation stage.
Although he is not prepared to really achieve any equality between men and women, if there is really a woman with the talent of the world, Li Xuan will never bury it for the ridiculous reason of gender, of course, a woman wants to show her talent and get ahead. It's not an easy thing to do, and none of those who can go up to heaven step by step are mediocre.
Zhao Min excitedly took the general's order, took a few guards and left directly, Li Xuan glanced at the battle under the city, and ordered Dian Wei to press the battle for Hawkeye. And he left.
Although the existence of Yan Liang's army is still a threat, but after yesterday's battle, this threat is already within Li Xuan's bearable range, even if he doesn't have himself, it is extremely difficult to break through Yecheng garrisoned by 30,000 people with 50,000 troops.
"My lord, Ju Yi secretly communicated with the guards of the South Gate, and his intention was to cooperate with the outside and the outside, but fortunately he was discovered by Mrs. Min in time. There was no big mistake, but Ju Yi didn't seem to be ready to stop, but instead attacked strongly. In the city lord's mansion, Jia Xu frowned and said, "Do you want to send someone to help Mrs. Min?" ”
In Jia Xu's opinion, although Zhao Min has good talent and strategy, he has never experienced a battle formation after all, although he was lucky to see through Ju Yi's strategy. But in a head-on battle, after all, he is not the opponent of a battlefield veteran like Ju Yi.
"Wenhe doesn't have to worry." Liu Ji couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. looked at Jia Xu and said: "In Yecheng, in addition to the lord, the one who can defeat Ju Yi is none other than Mrs. Min!" ”
As a fellow countryman, Liu Ji is very aware of Zhao Min's ability, the former lord of Shaomin. Playing with the world's heroes in applause, if it weren't for Li Xuan's birth, he almost subverted the entire Han people's rivers and lakes, and then switched to the Tianlong plane with Li Xuan, which helped Li Xuan gather a large number of heroes from the Central Plains. Now in the Great Yan Army, many middle-level generals were subdued by Zhao Min at that time, the most famous of which is such as Lin Chong, the Great Yan Spear King of today's Dragon Plane, and the Divine Arrow Hua Rong and other former Liangshan fierce generals, although because of the level of the plane, coupled with the lack of sufficient resources, placed here, at most can only be regarded as second-rate generals, but when it comes to qualifications, they are not under the first-class generals of Dragon City at all, and can deter these people, although some means are also used, but it is enough to prove Zhao Min's ability.
"Oh?" Jia Xu glanced at Liu Ji in some surprise, although he didn't understand why the other party was so confident, but he didn't continue to ask more, Liu Ji is not the kind of person who ignores the overall situation for the sake of flattery, since he said okay, then I'm afraid that he still looked down on this Mrs. Min in the past, as for the rest, Jia Xu didn't think about asking, sometimes knowing more things is not necessarily a good thing.
"Okay, the war will be left to Min'er for the time being, Berwyn, you stay in Yecheng and continue to preside over the overall situation, the Yecheng family can be wooed, if you don't want to, you don't have to be polite to them, it's just used to kill chickens and monkeys!" Li Xuan said solemnly: "Wenhe organized the secret hall to cut off all the passages between Yuan Shao and Bohai. ”
"But the lord wants to fight Yuan Shao?" Liu Ji's heart moved, and he looked at Li Xuandao.
"Dry bones in the grave, what kind of decisive battle is this, go to Liyang, first, to take over Yuan Shao's 500,000 army, second, to get acquainted, it is reasonable, you should give him a ride!" The corners of Li Xuan's mouth flashed with a sneer of disdain, to this day, the matter of Jizhou is a foregone conclusion, and Yuan Shao, as the former lord of Jizhou, is still kept in the dark at the moment, dealing with this kind of character, what decisive battle is needed?
Liyang, Fuku.
Xu You walked into the granary with a few guards, looking at the grain piled up like a hill in front of him, Xu You's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he looked back at a man dressed as an official behind him and said, "How long has it been since there has been grain and grass in the warehouse?" ”
"Mr. Hui." The official hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "The last time grain and grass were put into storage was half a month ago. ”
"What!?" Xu You's eyes widened, and he looked at the official in disbelief and said, "Such a big thing, why did you say it today!?" ”
"Our grain and grass are stored once every three days, before the lord sent General Yan Liang back to help Yecheng, the lower officials thought that it was because of the war over there that caused the delay in the trip, so it was not reported immediately, who would have thought that ......" The official said with a bitter face.
"Fifteen days, that is, our army's food route was cut off, at least twelve days ago." Xu You frowned and pondered: "Twelve days, what is Yan Liang doing?" ”
You must know that according to the news from the Yecheng deserters, although Yecheng is personally in charge of Yecheng, the army in the city, except for the 800 guards that Li Xuan brought when he entered the city, almost all the troops in the city are under the command of Yuan Shao in the past, in just a few days, even if Li Xuan is the rebirth of the military god, it is impossible to not only gather the heart of the army under the oppression of Yan Liang's army, but also block the 50,000 elites led by Yan Liang.
If it is said that Yan Liang is brave and unplanned, but there is still a number one general like Ju Yi in the army, how can he be defeated so easily?
If Xu You knew that outside Yecheng, Yan Liang had almost worked hard to fight a little-known warrior these days, and put most of his troops outside the city to confront others. And Ju Yi can only rely on the limited strength in his hands to open another battlefield, and if he fights wits and courage with one of Li Xuan's wives, I don't know if he will vomit three liters of blood.
"The stakes are very high, immediately follow me to see Ben Chu and explain the reason!" Although he didn't know what happened in Yecheng, Xu You had a bad premonition. There is really looking at the only grain and grass left in front of him, don't look at the hills in general, but this is the grain and grass that supplies 500,000 troops, people eat horses and chew, these grains and grasses may not even last for two days, this matter must be known to Yuan Shao as soon as possible.
"Yes." The grain officer followed behind Xu Yu with a bitter face, such a big mistake. I'm afraid it's hard to keep this fat gap.
In the conference hall, Yuan Shao convened a group of backbones to discuss the matter, during this time, in order to deal with Zhao Yun, everyone was full of schemes, digging tunnels and building high platforms. Discord, all the strategies that can be thought of. This period of time has been used all over again, but Zhao Yun is like a rock, sticking here, a silver spear, defeating the fierce generals of Yuan Ying, and the war dragoon is even more invincible. Everywhere he passed, the three armies retreated, and Zhao Yun himself had a talent for insight, and it was difficult for all stratagems to work on him, in less than a month. I don't know how many people's hair has turned white.
Retreat from the army, no one dares to retreat, although Zhao Yun doesn't seem to have the intention of entering the army at the moment, and he looks like the well water does not interfere with the river water, but God knows, once they retreat, Zhao Yun will not catch up directly, during this time, they have not appreciated Zhao Yun's power, and no one is willing to try again in the soldiers of the Dragon Iron Cavalry.
"At first, things were not good." Xu You came in and glanced at everyone around him, he was in a heavy mood at the moment, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Yuan Shao's convening of everyone, why he didn't just call him to come to discuss the matter.
"Oh?" Hearing that Xu You still called himself a word, a wisp of gloom flashed between Yuan Shao's eyebrows, a little unhappy, but he still suppressed it well, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Keenly aware of a trace of dissatisfaction in Yuan Shao's words, Xu You raised his head, looked at Yuan Shao with some doubts, and then dispelled the doubts in his heart. ”
"What?" When Yuan Shao heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and in the conference hall, many strategists stood up directly when they heard the words, and looked at Xu You incredulously.
Now that the fall of Yecheng has spread to the army, the reason why the three armies are not chaotic is because Yuan Shao has the grain and grass in his hands, and the grain and grass are the foundation of the army and the most critical thing to maintain the morale of the army.
"Doesn't Bohai transport a batch of grain and grass every three days?" Yuan Shao frowned and looked at the grain official who was standing behind Xu Yu with a worried face, and said angrily: "What about the grain and grass in the four counties of Zhao State, Pingyuan, Anding, and Julu?" Aren't you greedy for ink? ”
"The lord is wronged!" The grain officer's knees weakened, and he fell to his knees with a puff, and shouted loudly: "My lord is clear, since he was appointed as a grain official, the lower officials have been conscientious and conscientious, and they dare not be slack, in fact, since fifteen days ago, there has been no grain and grass in the counties. ”
God is pitiful, even if he has the courage to be greedy for grain and grass, but with so much grain, where can you let him be a grain official?
"At the beginning, in this matter, I'm afraid there are some strange things, and it is imperative to think of a way to get out!" Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and said in a deep voice.
"Ridiculous!" Yuan Shao said sharply: "Is it possible, these counties have rebelled?" Even if the four counties of the plains rebel, what about Bohai, could it be that Bohai will also rebel!? ”
Bohai is the starting place of Yuan Shao, although the land is vast and sparsely populated, but the land is extremely fertile, and then governed by Yuan Shao, it has not only become the foundation of Yuan Shao, but also the granary of the entire Jizhou.
"But the lack of food in the army has become a fact, and we should think of a way out first!" Xu You said in a deep voice, there is one more thing he didn't say, Bohai may not betray, but if the enemy really controls other counties except Bohai, it is not too difficult to cut off the grain route between Bohai and Liyang, but this idea, he didn't say it, it is definitely a huge blow to morale.
"A way out?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You coldly, and said coldly: "Joke, this is Jizhou, the home of our army, you let me retreat, won't it make the world laugh, and where will I put the name of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family?" ”
At this time, what kind of face is there to talk about, there is a life to live, it is the truth, life is gone, no matter how big the reputation is, it is just a pedal for others.
Xu You was very anxious, but he didn't say this after all, he was not Tian Feng, but Yuan Shao was obviously unwilling to accept the reality now, and he wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't know where to speak, and at this moment, outside the conference hall, there was a sudden noise.
"Presumptuous, presumptuous!" Yuan Shao was furious and roared outside the door: "Who dares to make a noise here!? ”
"Newspaper~"
With an urgent report, a Yuan Shao personal guard rushed in, knelt down and hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, the big thing is not good!" ”
Yuan Shao's face turned blue for a while when he heard this, and it seemed that nothing was going well today, and he said with a dark face: "What's the matter?" ”
"Lord, in my Liyang City, the granary was burned!" The guard said anxiously.
"What!?" This time, Yuan Shao really couldn't sit still, although there was not much grain and grass left in the granary, it could at least last the army for a day or two, but it was destroyed at the moment, and the army was about to face the dilemma of having no food, and more importantly, this fire was burned, and it was not only the grain and grass that was burned, but also the military heart.
Although what Xu You said before was terrifying, after all, ordinary soldiers didn't know that if they cut down on food and clothing, they could still last for a few days, so that they had some room for maneuver, and now that the granary was burned down, countless soldiers witnessed it with their own eyes, even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it at all, and the soldiers in the city probably knew everything at this moment, and what they had to face next was the question of the soldiers in the city.
The three armies can be without a commander, but the three armies must not be without food, and the destruction of grain and grass is definitely a fatal blow to Yuan Shao, who is trapped inside and outside at this time.
Finished!
Xu You only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell headlong, his eyes were a little numb and looked at Yuan Shao who was distracted, the opponent was too ruthless, and it was too desperate, and it didn't leave them half a point of room and room for maneuver at all, he was sure that at this moment, there must be a large number of enemy spies in Liyang City, otherwise it would be impossible to successfully burn down the heavily guarded granary, and before that, he didn't even notice it, this is the most terrifying place, and now, even if he knows this, it is meaningless, he knows, Yuan Shao ...... Finished! (To be continued......)
