Chapter 274: War Resumes
Yuan Shao frowned, frustrating that this meant that if Wei Xuan started a full-scale war, his 60,000 people in Jizhou might not be able to stop him from recruiting troops immediately, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Prison army, what if Neihuang's guard army does not move or continues to go north?"
"If the Neihuang soldiers do not move, it means that Wei Zhengxi does not intend to start a full-scale war with the lord, and only needs to send one person to Hebei, which means that the duke has been bewitched by Guo Tu and others. If you want to come to Wei Zhengxi, you will also accept it when you see it. ”
Yuan Shao was silent, it was not that he was unwilling to betray Guo Tu, but his first battle in Jizhou ended in such a tiger that he was unwilling, and he was even more unwilling to let Wei Xuan occupy Hanoi so smoothly. But if Chun Yuqiong can't stop Wei Xuan in front of him, and let the war continue in Wei County and even the hinterland of Jizhou, he, the Jizhou pastor, is unwilling to see it. After a long time, Zhang Yan and Gongsun Chan will definitely get the news, especially Gongsun Chan, when the two of them were plotting to seize Jizhou, Yuan Shao had promised nothing to fulfill, as long as the war in the south cannot end as soon as possible, Gongsun Chan will definitely take the opportunity to go south.
Chun Yuqiong was also taken aback when she received the news that Yuan Shao had returned to defend Yecheng, and asked clearly???????????????? It turned out that Wei Xuan not only opened up a battlefield on the border, but even Neihuang was taken, and a large number of cavalry appeared on the border between Zhao and Wei County, which is equivalent to saying that people have been unscrupulous and easy to enter the hinterland of Jizhou, and can wrap the entire Wei County at any time, which is really not easy to fight. There was no good way for the cavalry to attack the city, but it was more than enough to plunder the place.
Fortunately, after waiting for Chun Yuqiong to return to Yecheng with the army, Wei Xuan's side seemed to disappear all at once, and there was no further action except for occupying Neihuang all the time. However, the news that Yan Liang's vanguard 5,000 Jingzhou elites were wiped out by the guards in Hanoi spread throughout Jizhou. There are all kinds of bizarre versions, the most outrageous even Wei Xuan dispatched the heavenly soldiers and generals, and the anger of Lei Gongdian Mother ignited the main forest, and Yan Liang's 5,000 army was wiped out in an instant.
What worries Chun Yuqiong the most is that many people along the way are digging holes to hide grain, and when they inquire, they said that the grain and grass in Jizhou were burned by the cavalry sent by Wei Xuan, and Yuan Shao was ready to ask the people again to collect grain. This is simply a rumor, and the entire Jizhou grain store was burned by Wei Xuan's troops is just a drop in the bucket. However, Wei County really wanted to collect grain, because it was too slow to transport grain from other places.
When Chun Yuqiong stood in front of Yuan Shao with a ashamed face, the entire Yecheng was already panicked. After the efforts of the scouts in the past few days, Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong also basically determined that Wei Xuan had hoarded at least 9,000 cavalry on the border of Hanoi, and it was said that those who captured Neihuang came along the Ahuang River, estimated to be 3,000 infantry from Luoyang, and there were 2,000 sailors on the banks of the Yellow River. The light cavalry that appeared on the border between Wei County and Zhao came out of Huguan, so now Wei Xuan has more than 13,000 cavalry and Baqian infantry around the frontline battlefield, and it is impossible to defeat Wei Xuan with 25,000 infantry, let alone enter the city to attack the village.
In the end, Yuan Shao combined the description of Chun Yuqiong's frontline battlefield, and decided to make peace with Wei Xuan under the persuasion of Fu Zhu and others. Feng Ji was appointed as a special envoy to Hanoi. Feng Ji came to Huaixian after a few days of trekking but did not see Wei Xuan, he was met by Hanoi Taishou, Pingbei Zhonglang General Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao first scolded Yuan Shao's shamelessness: "My lord elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the coalition on the same day, what did Yuan Shao do, his own people were destroyed and indifferent, it was my lord who defeated Dong Zhuo, and was preparing to march to Chang'an to avenge the Yuan family and welcome back the Son of Heaven for the country.
If it didn't work out of a plan, he actually instigated Yu Fuluo to go south, but he was still completely annihilated, how about it, I couldn't sit still and was ready to take action in person, if it weren't for the fact that my lord didn't want to see the lives of Jizhou ruined, he would have been sitting in Yecheng drinking at this moment. ”
Feng Ji sneered, he knew that Zhang Liao was venting his emotions and bragging by the way, and it was not easy to refute, so he waited for Zhang Liao to finish before he got up and saluted: "What the Ming Mansion said is that my lord and Wei Zhengxi were originally friends, but they were instigated by some people to have today's situation." My lord sent Ji to rebuild the old good, and asked the Ming Mansion to convey my lord's mind to Wei Zhengxi. ”
Zhang Liao snorted coldly: "If there is something to ask my lord, send someone to Luoyang by himself." Ben will only be in charge of Hanoi. Then Yuan Shao can also hand over Guo Tu if he wants a truce, and our army will naturally cease fighting. ”
Feng Ji's scalp was numb: "Ming Mansion, since you want to rebuild the old good, can you let your army withdraw from Neihuang first, and then release my family???????????????? General Liang? ”
Zhang Liao slapped the table and spit out two words: "Dream!" ”
Feng Ji tried to make himself really settled, and asked carefully: "What does the Ming Mansion think?" ”
I have to say that Feng Ji is also a talent, he called Wei Xuan Wei Zhengxi instead of Si Li, which Yuan Shao was willing to hear, because it was Yuan Shao when he was the leader of the alliance, and he also wanted to express a kind of incense, but he called Zhang Liao Mingfu, what I want to express is that we have recognized the status quo of your actual occupation of Hanoi, which can be regarded as a release of goodwill, but this Zhang Liao looks like a martial artist who is unreasonable but makes Feng Ji embarrassed.
Zhang Liao pouted: "Didn't Ben General say it just now?" Handing over Guo Tu, our army naturally ceased fighting. As for Nei Huang and Yan Liang, they each took 300,000 grains in exchange. ”
Feng Ji looked surprised, can it still be like this? It's right to think about it, isn't peace talks just a bargain for business?
Seeing this, Zhang Liao sneered: "Don't forget that it was you who provoked the war, in order to prepare for this battle, many people in the four counties of my family were requisitioned in advance, resulting in a shortage of manpower for the summer harvest, and it is estimated that a lot of grain will be lost this year." If you don't want to, we can go to Jizhou to harvest it ourselves. ”
Feng Ji knew that since it was a peace talk, he naturally had to talk slowly, so he said with a smile: "My lord can compensate for some grain, but the amount asked for by the Ming Mansion is too much." In addition, Guo Tu can't be handed over to you, and he is not at fault as a strategist for his lord. ”
Zhang Liao didn't object, but said, "Then add another 300,000 stone of grain." Remember to ask for dashi. ”
Feng Ji: "......"
"If you can't be the master, go back and ask your unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous lord."
Feng Ji: "......"
Feng Ji has not returned to Yecheng, there is news that the Wei army has emptied the Neihuang Mansion Treasury and transported it to Luoyang by boat, this is not over, now the Hao clan in Neihuang City is crying bitterly, it is not that the Wei army plundered them, but the Wei army posted a notice in the city to recruit people from Tuntian, men, women and children can do the work, Henan, Hanoi, Hedong, Yingchuan can be picked. As long as you go, you will be removed from the household, and you can block it, you can buy it, and you can also block it. The government also provided grain, seeds, ploughing cattle and other agricultural tools to intercept people, anyway, the conditions were very favorable, and many people were tempted when they heard this, especially the slaves of those wealthy families, many of whom had already fled privately.
Therefore, the wealthy families of Neihuang sent representatives to Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shao is also a lawsuit, the one-sided massacre on the border has been over for several days, and there is still no news of Yan Liang, he should have really been captured.
The matter of Neihuang was actually more terrible by that massacre, because if you advance along the Ahuang River, the Wei army can enter the hinterland of Jizhou, and if a large number of people go to Sanhe, it will be more troublesome.
However, the conditions for peace talks proposed by Wei Xuan were too harsh. I actually asked for so much food, but as soon as Feng Ji returned to Yecheng, there was new news from Neihuang, the guards in the city were really dispatched, and they invited a lot of people to harvest grain around the county! Yuan Shao couldn't bear it any longer, and urged Chun Yuqiong to lead his troops south overnight, and after two days and two nights of rapid marching, Chun Yuqiong appeared outside Neihuang City with 15,000 people.
There was no one to harvest grain outside Neihuang City, but the guards obviously did not intend to hand over Neihuang ,???????????????? The temple gate was closed, and soldiers were stationed on the city walls.
Chun Yuqiong was very cautious, first digging trenches around the camp and digging horse pits, and after two days no cavalry of the guards appeared, then he pretended to have the courage to start attacking Neihuang. According to the news, less than 3,000 people took advantage of the situation to occupy Neihuang, but he wanted to see how well these guards were infantry.
At the north gate of Neihuang City, Chun Yuqiong stood less than a mile away from the city gate to personally supervise the battle, not because Neihuang had any important strategic position or a large number of materials, but because he wanted to go south as soon as possible to seize Neihuang for the next one without negotiation.
】
Whoosh ...... As soon as Chun Yuqiong's forward entered the two hundred steps of the city wall, the archers in the city began to fire. Chun Yuqiong sneered, not every army is elite, at least not in front of him, how can there be an enemy who hurriedly launches and attacks so far away, and at this speed, when his people rush to the city wall, those archers are afraid that they will be tired and lie down.
It's just that as soon as he thought of this, there was a voice in front of him that he didn't want to hear, poof, poof, poof, it was clearly the sound of a bow and arrow into the flesh! Two hundred steps away to shoot through leather armor!
Chun Yuqiong watched in disbelief as her soldiers fell down in rows! This is an ordinary bow and arrow, not a crossbow to defend the city, and he knows that Neihuang does not have these things.
Whoosh ...... Puff, lotus pool, puff...... The result of Chun Yuqiong's personal supervision of the battle was that despite the stunned faces of the Jizhou soldiers, they kept running forward, and then they basically couldn't get up after being shot.
Whoosh ...... Puff, lotus pool, puff......
The voice that Chun Yuqiong was most unwilling to hear was constantly staged, and those Jizhou soldiers who were known as elites did not get up again once they were hit by arrows. In just a hundred paces, the enemy fired four or five rounds, and in each round, more than 100 Jizhou soldiers fell.
Because the comrades who rushed to the front were shot, the rear ones kept slowing down, and the distance from the city wall did not seem to advance much. Chun Yuqiong's scalp was numb when he saw it, and those military marquis and Tun masters couldn't help but keep looking back. If Sichun Yu Qiong personally supervised the battle, they would definitely run back with their men.
