Chapter 162: The Princes' Reactions (Part II)
However, what everyone didn't expect was Yuan Shu, who had already controlled part of Yangzhou and Xuzhou. When the news reached Yuan Shu's ears in front of www.biquge.info Pen, Fun and Pavilion had actually been more than a month since Hu Li was besieged in the valley. No way, ancient communications were so bad. This is quite fast, because there is the promotion of the family behind it, and when Gongsun Zan was defeated in history, Liu Bei's Xuzhou did not know that his friend had committed suicide after a few years.
At this time, Yuan Shu was almost the strongest prince in the Central Plains. Because Yuan Shu himself is the third prince of the fourth world, and the territory that has been laid down now is very large, the entire Yuan family has invested much more in Yuan Shu than Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shu has at least 300,000 warriors under him, not counting the tens of thousands under his godson Sun Ce. Changsha was in danger under Sun Ce's attack, and Sun Ce had even begun to infiltrate the land below Changsha in Jingzhou, and began to forcibly emigrate and plunder the population. At this great opportunity, Yuan Shu got the news that Hu Li was besieged in the valley.
Yuan Shu actually cried when he thought that Hu Li was seriously injured and his eyes were blind. Although Yuan Shu's character is arrogant and mediocre, to put it bluntly, it is funny. However, Yuan Shu has a chivalrous temperament in his heart, and he is reckless when he stirs up his heart. Sima Guang's evaluation of Yuan Shu is that he is known for his chivalrous spirit. Of course, this kind of thing is a disaster for a prince.
After thinking about it very seriously for a day, Yuan Shu made up his mind and brought his general Ji Ling to prepare for the expedition in person. Yuan Shu ordered his subordinates Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le Yu. Immediately gather troops and march to Xuzhou. Yuan Shu himself and Ji Ling set off from Shouchun to the vicinity of Xuzhou to fight with his four favorite generals. The total number of troops brought out by Yuan Shu this time was close to 100,000, and then in order to express his attitude. Yuan Shu told the Quartet. uses the sentence that Hu Li said back then, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. Yuan Shu's name has been resounding throughout the Central Plains, and Yuan Shu estimated that he didn't expect that this action would bring him endless prestige.
Just when Yuan Shu arrived in Youzhou, Ye Qianbi was fighting Yuan Xi with her people, and it was An Xin's sister who came to receive Yuan Shu. Sister An Xin is also a beauty. And the **** is huge. However, Yuan Shu was actually quite attentive, and he didn't squint when he talked to An Xin, and Hu Li found out later. Yuan Shu likes that kind of woman with a heroine flavor. No matter how you look at An Xin like this, she can't paint with a chivalrous girl. However, Hu Li was still surprised to know that Yuan Shu actually came in person. After all, Hu Li didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be able to tease him like this. However, Yuan Shu personally brought 100,000 people to save herself, and Hu Li still felt warm in her heart.
"Forget it. Just if I owe him a favor. But I saw Yuan Shu. I think of my former self, when I was so innocent, romantic and funny. Hu Li didn't know why, she had a much better impression of Yuan Shu than others. But that kind of good feeling is just closeness, and it has nothing to do with love. But in this kind of intrigue world, there are really too few people with such innocent thoughts.
Huli has been besieged for almost two months now, but fortunately this winter, there is a shortage of drinking water for the snow, but food has already begun to run short. Although Hu Li had a hunch that she had put grain and grass in the valley of Liufang for about a month. But now, after all, there are tens of thousands of people, and they have eaten up food and grass a few days ago. That's still a lot of savings. Except for the people who needed to defend the ice city every day, Hu Li could only get a bowl of porridge and some grated wild vegetable bark. Of course, these edible things have been examined, and although they are difficult to eat, they are better than being hungry.
Of course, this was all a few days ago, and now Huli and the others have begun to kill the horses. After all, Hu Li has three riders on his side, and there are almost fifteen thousand war horses. Although everyone was very distressed, after all, many war horses had accompanied the soldiers for several years. But when everyone found out that Hu Li was eating the yellow and black beans that were fed to the horses, everyone shut up and didn't speak.
In this era, soybeans were still edible, but most of them were still used for inferior people to eat and feed horses. Black beans are purely for feeding horses, after all, they taste worse. Of course, at this time, it seems that I only know how to boil and eat with water, after all, boiling beans and burning beans is good, and other methods seem to have not been developed. What's even more interesting is that there was no soybean oil and soybean cake in this era, and Hu Li only discovered it later. However, Hu Li did not change at that time, after all, Hu Li still likes to eat animal oil, not vegetable oil.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with now, but Hu Li still has some skills, although her left arm is gone. Hu Li's own cakes made with two kinds of beans are still very fragrant, at least the willow on Hu Li's side likes it very much. Therefore, Hu Li and these high-level people rarely eat horse meat, and they still use Hu Li's cake to satisfy their hunger. When his subordinates saw that the lords were eating horse feed, and then gave their subordinates horse meat, they were all moved. The only good news for Hu Li now is that there is at least a lot of salt, otherwise it will be really difficult to manage.
The Xiongnu who besieged them now regret it, but they still have food. However, after a long siege and attack, they lost a lot of soldiers, but they were a little unwilling to retreat. After all, in the history of that year, Gongsun Chan was besieged for almost six months, not to mention that it has only been about two months now. The Han army has no supplies at all, and it is estimated that the current Han army has begun to gnaw on the bark. After a month of siege, the Han army basically waited to let themselves be hacked to death. After all, they also have a lot of people who are familiar with this area, and they know that this is a dead land.
The current situation is very delicate, after all, Hu Li can communicate with Shen Huili and Ye Qianbi. Coupled with the intelligence network created by Hu Li and the others, the news was smoothly notified to Zhang Liaobu. Now Zhang Liaobu rushed to the valley from the west and the state, and An Xin Liu Meng accompanied Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's army sent by Sun Zan from Youzhou to the valley. Shen Huili took Cai Rong and Huanglong and others to surround the past directly from the north, and Hu Li estimated that she would have to hold out for a month before she could completely surround the Xiongnu Wuhuan coalition army. Of course, it was difficult for the family to inform them now, after all, Hu Li had already photographed all the robber ringing horses and the like that she had set up in the north many years ago, and began to rob and kill any merchants who walked here.
Soon, the final decisive battle will be fought on the Gobi Desert. There are about 500,000 troops on both sides, and the final leg of the three races is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
