In the city of Xiapi, Yuan Shu sat on the main seat with a displeased face, and all the generals below were there, but no one made a sound, only kneeling quietly on both sides.

Lu Yi had already led an army of 40,000 to arrive for a few days, counting Tai Shici and Xu Sheng, who arrived first, and now there are 60,000 soldiers and horses outside Xiapi City, including 10,000 cavalry.

Yuan Shu sent a total of 100,000 troops on this expedition, and was previously lost by Ji Ling in the first battle of 20,000 vanguard troops, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were lost in the attack on Xiapi, and 20,000 were given to Qiao Rui to attack Xiaopei, and now there are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city.

Although there is a city wall to defend in Xiapi, Yuan Shu's heart is difficult to be happy.

Not for anything else, just because Xiapi is the hinterland of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu is not only isolated here, but the people in the city are deeply hostile to him.

In the eyes of the people, Yuan Shu is no different from Cao Cao, both are thieves who attacked Xuzhou, while Lu Yi is different.

Koji Yi is not only kind to Xuzhou, but now he is more Xuzhou pastor, sending troops to fight thieves, which is clear and righteous.

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were at war before, both of them were outsiders, and the people were afraid to close their homes, and the two did not help each other.

Now that Liyi is leading the troops to come, the people in the city are obviously different, although they are still confined at home, but the soldiers of the Yuan army are always plotted inexplicably.

This kind of conspiracy did not necessarily directly attack and kill the soldiers, but attacked Yuan's army from various aspects.

For example, throwing filth into the well where Yuan Jun took water made it useless, or inexplicably starting an open fire near the granary, although it did not pose a threat to the granary, it was necessary to prevent it.

Once, someone unknowingly added medicinal herbs to the horse feed, causing Yuan Jun's war horses to fall ill dozens of horses after eating.

If it hadn't been discovered in time, I'm afraid that Yuan Jun would have had no horses to ride.

Several times of attack, Yuan Shu was greatly annoyed, but there was nothing to be done, after all, Lu Yi was leading the army to camp outside the city, if he did something radical to the people at this time, it was likely to cause turmoil, which would lead to the loss of Xiapi.

But if it is left unchecked, it will be a great blow to the safety and morale of the city, and in the long run, the sergeant will complain and be unfavorable to the war.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to send more soldiers to strengthen patrols, but as a result, the troops were even more insufficient.

Xiapi is a big city, the scale is by no means comparable to Xiaopei, whether it is defending the city or patrolling, it needs a large number of soldiers to do it.

However, the situation outside the city is completely different, with high morale and bravado.

Koji Yi also uses the three missing one of the enclosure, Koji Yi is in the east, Tai Shi Ci Pan Zhang is in the north, Xu Sheng Fan Fang is in the west, and only the south gate is left unguarded.

However, these are only what they have seen on the surface, as for whether there is really no one in the south, Yuan Shu is not sure.

Koji Yoshishi arrived for a few days, but did not order a strong attack, but only led troops to fight under the city every day.

At the beginning, Yuan Shu went out of the city twice to fight, but after losing several generals in succession, he ignored the challenge of Ko Yi.

Yuan Shu looked around at the people below, and they were all frustrated, and said angrily: "Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, you don't say a word, and you are lifeless, what is the reason?" ”

In the face of Yuan Shu's questioning, not only did everyone not answer, but lowered their heads even lower.

Yang Hong sighed slightly, and replied: "I thought that defeating Lu Bu Xuzhou would be within reach, but I never thought that Lu Yi would win the hearts of the people here, and it was really a miscalculation!" ”

Yuan Shu's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this, and he faintly missed his Yan Xianglai in his heart.

Although Yan Xiang doesn't speak very well, he is very strategic, and if he is here, he must have a way to deal with it.

Although Yang Hong is not bad, he is inferior to Yan Xiang.

Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong expressionlessly and said, "Is there a way to deal with it?" ”

Yang Hong shook his head and sighed: "Now there is only a turnaround when General Qiao Rui breaks through Xiaopei, and then the troops enter Tancheng." ”

Yuan Shu was helpless after hearing this, Yang Hong seemed to have said a lot, but in fact, he didn't say anything.

Yuan Shu was irritable in his heart, and didn't want to say more, so he waved his hand casually to let everyone leave, and only sat there and sighed indifferently.

Outside the city, the Koji Yi camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Yi looked at Guo Jia, who looked lazy beside him, shook his head and smiled, and then asked: "Qiao Rui is a general under Yuan Shu's account, and he knows a lot about military affairs, and now he has led an army of 20,000 to attack Xiaopei, I don't know if Zhang Liao and others can hold on to Zhang He's reinforcements." ”

After hearing this, Guo Jia's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Although Xiao Pei has few small soldiers in the city, Zhang Liao Gaoshun is an extraordinary general, and he will be able to defend Xiao Pei safely, and Xiao Pei in Pengcheng Curry is quite close, and the reinforcements led by Jun Yi will not arrive in a few days, so I can't say that Qiao Rui has been defeated at this time!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi laughed happily and said: "Feng Xiao joked, Zhang Liao and the others could bear Xiao Pei's trust, but Yan Junyi defeated Qiao Rui so quickly. But I don't believe it! ”

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders slightly after hearing this, and replied: "Speed or not, it doesn't mean much, when the emperor arrives, Qiao Rui will be defeated, but I don't know how the lord wants to persuade Zhang Liao, Gaoshun and others?" ”

Guo Jia very much agreed with Ko Yi to subdue Zhang Liao and others, so he asked this question.

Lu Yi thought for a while and replied: "Lu Bu is dead, the generals have no owner, I should say it with righteousness, can I?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Lu Yi, a little banter flowed out of his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "I heard that Lu Bu only has one daughter!" ”

Of course, Lu Yi knew that Lu Bu only had one daughter, and in history he wanted to marry Yuan Shu's son as a wife, but he couldn't make it.

Hearing Guo Jia mention Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Yi suddenly woke up, and praised him: "The military advisor is high, I can't do much, if I start by protecting Lu Bu's family, I will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Guo Jia still looked at Lu Yi with a smile and said: "With my thoughts, the lord can accept Lu Bu's daughter as his wife, so that Lu Bu's old generals will inevitably return to his heart, and the lord can add several generals!" ”

"Ahem......!"

Lu Yi was choked by Guo Jia's sudden proposal, calmed down for a moment, looked at Guo Jia with a serious face and asked, "Is Feng Xiaofei joking?" ”

Guo Jia restrained his smile and replied with a serious face: "This is a serious matter, how can you joke?" ”

Seeing Guo Jia's serious face, Lu Yi thought for a moment in his heart, and then asked, "Is this feasible?" ”

Guo Jia understood the meaning of Koji's words, put on the cynical look he had before, and said with a smile: "This is a conspiracy, and it will be successful!" ”

Lu Yi stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, quickly analyzing the pros and cons of marrying Lu Bu's daughter in his heart.

Lu Yi thought for a moment, stopped, looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Is there any danger to take advantage of others?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, and replied: "If the lord accepts Lu Bu's wife and concubine, he has the intention of taking advantage of people's danger, and marrying Lu Bu's daughter is understandable!" ”

Lu Yi thought that he could make Zhang Liao and the others, especially Gao Shun, surrender, his heart was hot, he swung his fist violently, and made up his mind: "Just follow the words of filial piety!" ”

Guo Jia had already guessed that Koji would agree, Koji Yi loved talents, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were both generals. Wei Xu, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Hao Meng, although they are slightly deficient, are also qualified generals, such a lineup, Lu Yi can't be moved.

At this time, after the discussion, Lu Yi asked Guo Jia again: "Now that Yuan Shu is out of the city, and I don't want to attack it, I don't know if the military advisor can teach him?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly when he heard the question, turned his head to look outside the house, and replied: "The weather is hot and humid, and I am afraid that the rain is not far away!" ”
