Chapter 277: Yuan Shao sues for peace
Yecheng County Ya, Yuan Shao sat with a black face, flanked by Chun Yuqiong, Fu Zhu and Guo Tu and others. Yuan Shao never dreamed that his Jizhou soldiers would be defeated again in Neihuang. Previously, Chun Yuqiong and Fu Zhu persuaded him that Wei Xuanquan did not pursue Chun Yuqiong after destroying Yan Liang that day, first, to demonstrate, and secondly, to tell Jizhou that he had no intention of starting a full-scale war for the time being.
But Yuan Shao did not believe in evil, and as a result, he relied on 3,000 defenders to kill 2,000 people from the attacking Chun Yuqiong Department in an hour, and then seized the opportunity to plow the time when Mingjin's infantry returned to the camp with heavy cavalry several times. Chun Yuqiong and Fu Yu finally saw the legendary heavy cavalry of the guards, so that all the Jizhou soldiers present saw the power of the enemy's heavy cavalry, and the five thousand people were uniform, coming and going like the wind! Sweeping away your men wiped out thousands of Chun Yuqiong's infantry from the battlefield in the same way that a rag wiped them out of the dust.
Seven or eight thousand of your own casualties were killed, and I don't know how many of the enemy were wounded! Where is this still a war, it is clearly a one-sided massacre, that Hanoi Taishou Zhang Liao is not arrogant, but to tell the truth, if it is not for the battle line is too long, the guards can enter the hinterland of Jizhou at any time.
Now Yuan Shao is ???????????????? again Savor the words carefully, this is not arrogance, but a threat built on the basis of self-confidence. Therefore, he could only immediately convene the civil and military forces in Wei County to discuss the matter.
Guo Tu tried his best to instigate Yuan Shao to attack Hanoi, and he had nothing to say in the face of successive defeats. Chun Yuqiong is the main general this time, the first time the striker was wiped out, and the second time he lost his troops, he could only bow his head in the face of Yuan Shao's persecutive eyes. The two of them were eager to burrow their heads into their crotches at the moment.
Fu Zhu knew that at this time, he could only speak first: "Ming Gong, send someone to negotiate peace with Wei Zhengxi, I need to recover in Jizhou, and Henan and Hanoi in Wei Zhengxi need to recover in peace." But it seems that our side needs more time, otherwise the news of the battlefield in the south will reach the north, and Koji Yi will definitely rebel, and Gongsun Chan will definitely lead his troops south! ”
The truth that Fu Zhu said is very simple, Yuan Shao naturally knows it, but he is unwilling, Yuan Shao is the son of the Yuan family in Runan, after the fourth and third dukes. He wasted more than ten years in order to plot against the eunuchs, and in order to plot Yizhou, he even took Wang Kuang into it. That Wei Xuan is only in his early twenties, has he really grown to this extent after not seeing each other for a few years?
Yuan Shao rubbed his eyebrows and said with difficulty: "Frustrated with the prison army, Zhang Liao's mouth will be 900,000 stone grain, there is no sincerity at all. How is this peace talk? ”
Frustrated, he said that he was asking for a price to pay back, and was about to say his mental conditions when he heard a military marquis outside the door come in a hurry and knelt on the ground: "Lord, general, Tan Ma came to report that Lu Changshan Tao Sheng surrendered to Wei Xuan." Fifty thousand men, women, and children on the mountain have descended one after another. ”
Yuan Shao opened his mouth wide, Chun Yuqiong's face was incredible, Wei Xuan's Dong Zhuo was too fast, Zhang Liao's heavy cavalry was still attacking him in Neihuang the day before yesterday, why did Tao Sheng over there surrender so quickly without backbone.
No wonder Yuan Shaojunchen made a fuss, Lu Changshan is located on the border between Hanoi and Wei County, and can loot Hanoi in the south and Wei County in the east.
But now Tao Sheng surrendered without fighting! This is tantamount to saying that Wei Xuanping has increased his combat strength by 10,000. Now it may not be a peace talk, but Yuan Shao is asking for peace! Yuan Shao turned his face to look at Feng Ji, who bowed his head and pondered: "Yuan Tu, I have to bother you to go to Huaixian again, and find a way to meet Wei Zhongdao." ”
Feng Ji got up from his seat: "It's a matter of discipline to worry about Ming, but this Wei Zhengxi may really not be in Hanoi." Or even if he is in Hanoi, he will not necessarily see Ji. ”
Feng Ji also knew what Yuan Shao meant, he couldn't pull his face to beg Wei Xuan, but he knew that Wei Xuan would not let go if Zhang Liao and the others didn't speak. But since Wei Xuan brought out Zhang Liao to block him, it shows that Wei Xuan also did it on purpose. He is just a strategist under Yuan Shao, or the defeated party, and he has such a big face as Ji that Wei Xuan came out to talk to him.
Yuan Shao thought for a while and continued: "You brought the general's handwritten letter to ask to see Wei Zhongdao, and when you saw him, you said that the general would be confused for a while, and I hope that the two families will still support each other in the future." ”
Feng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, there was always a better chance of seeing Wei Xuan with Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, but he still mustered up the courage to ask: "Ming Gong, how much is this grain and grass more appropriate?" ”
Yuan Shao frowned, he wanted to blurt out what kind of food and grass he wanted, but he suddenly remembered that he was not ???????????????? It was three or four years ago, and at that time, Wei Xuan was just a little brother behind him, and his status was not even as good as that of Chun Yuqiong and Xu You.
If it was three years ago, Yuan Shao naturally didn't need to prepare grain and grass, but now on the one hand, the intimate relationship between Yuan Shao and Wei Xuan had broken down when he promoted Wei Xuan as the captain of Si Li, and then it was already a grudge to instigate Yu Fuluo to go south, and this time it was Yuan Shao who took the initiative to provoke, and it was he Yuan Shao who wanted to seek peace.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao said: "One hundred thousand stones, he has only dispatched twenty or thirty thousand people in total, and it has been less than a month." 100,000 stone is almost. ”
Feng Ji didn't answer and looked at Guo Tu, Guo Tu turned his face away, Feng Ji smiled bitterly and turned to look at Fu Zhu, who received Feng Ji's gaze for help was also a wry smile, his lord still felt too good. The previous Wei Xuan asked Yuan Shao for food in order to help 400,000 victims in Henan, but he verbally promised 30,000 yuan, and in the end, he didn't give a grain of grain. If it was Wei Xuangang, it might have been similar at that time.
While sending peace talks, he sent troops to attack Neihuang, and only when he was hurt did he remember to sue for peace but was unwilling to pay the price, which victor would let go so easily.
Fu Zhu arched his hand and said cautiously: "Duke Ming, in this way, Wei Zhengxi may not return Nei Huang and General Yan Liang. The previous Yuantu went to see Zhang Wenyuan, and Zhang Wenyuan threatened to harvest on the spot. Neihuang Shou General hired people to harvest at that time, which may have lured our army to attack, but it was also caused by the lack of grain in Henan. ”
The meaning of Fu Zhu's words is obvious, 100,000 Shi Weixuan will not agree to hand over Neihuang, it is a big deal to send people to harvest by himself, and even the entire Wei County will send people to harvest unscrupulously, and there are less than 20,000 infantry left who will definitely not dare to provoke Wei Xuan's eight or nine thousand cavalry. If the entire Wei County was harvested, if Wei Xuan's soldiers and horses were harvested, Yuan Shao's losses might be even more.
Yuan Shao glanced at Frustration and turned to look at Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu, how much food do you think is needed to satisfy Wei Zhongdao?" ”
Feng Ji thought for a while and said: "Ming Gong, Zhang Liao previously threatened to ask for 300,000 stone if he wanted to go out of the Ming bus, otherwise he would ask for 300,000 stones, maybe it was angry words, but to redeem General Yan Liang and Nei Huang, I am afraid that if there is a lack of 500,000 stones, then Zhang Liao will not let go." ”
Yuan Shao frowned, opened his mouth and wanted to scold, but when he saw the worried face, he couldn't help it, and sat there in a daze.
Guo Tu saw the change in Yuan Shao's expression and turned to Feng Ji and said: "Yuan Tu, not long after the lord entered Jizhou, Lu Yi was unconvinced, Gongsun Zan was eyeing him, my Jizhou was about to recruit troops on a large scale, where did I get so much extra grain and grass for Wei Xuan?" ”
Feng Ji scolded his mother in his heart, who doesn't know that Jizhou is newly attached, needs stability, and needs to strengthen his strength, but it wasn't you Guo Tu who instigated the lord to attack Hanoi in the first place? Now that others are cleaning up the aftermath for you, where are you yin and yang. However, thinking of Guo Tu's revenge on Wei Xuan, he still held back, and the villain couldn't afford to provoke him.
Feng Ji then turned to Yuan Shao and said: "Ming Gong, General Yan Liang is a famous general in Hebei, but he is outnumbered by one move, if he can redeem General Yan Liang, it is worth as much food as possible."
Neihuang is close to the Yellow River, connecting Hanoi and Dongjun from east to west, and close to Wei County and Chenliu up and down. Ming Gong must not lose a big one because of a small one! ”
Is Yan Liang important, of course the person who can be a pioneer is important, Yuan Shao's subordinates???????????????? The original group of people who could be generals were only a few people such as Chun Qiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Gao Gan.
Is Neihuang important, of course it is important, holding the Yellow River and connecting Hanoi and Dong County, can such a location be important?
Yuan Shao is just a little hesitant doesn't mean that he is stupid, but Wei Xuan's bastard opened his mouth is 300,000, and he can't accept 300,000. However, it seems unlikely that he would send Wei Xuan with 100,000 stones of food.
Yuan Shao then turned to Fu Zhu and asked, "Prison Army, isn't 500,000 too much?" ”
Frustrated and smiled bitterly: "Duke Ming, I don't know much about Wei Zhengxi, so I should ask Guo Gongze about this matter." ”
Guo Tu's face suddenly turned red, and he looked at him angrily. He had already stated his position just now, and Yuan Shao seemed to refute it, of course he also knew that 100,000 might not be able to send Wei Xuan away, but he was so quick to let Yuan Shao ask him to see his own jokes. However, Yuan Shao's attention was successfully diverted by frustration, and he soon looked at Guo Tu as if he had suddenly realized.
Guo Tu's forehead was sweating, and he held back his anger in the face of Yuan Shao's gaze and said: "My lord, since it is a negotiation, you should bargain, Yuan Tu can go to see that Zhang Liao 100,000 land first." ”
Feng Ji scolded his mother in his heart again, Guo Tu, you are really a villain, this is obviously a rhythm that is going to tire me to death, but since Guo Tu said so, Yuan Shao will definitely adopt it, so he simply took the initiative to say: "Ming Gong, what the public said is very true, Ji will bargain with that Zhang Liao, but please ask Ming Gong to give Ji a bottom, and Ji has a bottom in his heart." ”
Yuan Shao nodded, Feng Ji's words also made sense, it would take several days to go back and forth, unless he brought some more fast horses to send the information of the negotiations to Yecheng every day, and then he sent fast horses to pass on the instructions to Feng Ji. However, Yuan Shao didn't give Feng Ji clear instructions in the end, but just said: "Yuantu can do his best." ”
Feng Ji smiled bitterly in his heart and looked at Frustration again for help, but Frustration turned his head to the other side. Feng Ji sighed, knowing that Fu Zhu was similar to himself, and now he was not as trusted by Yuan Shao as Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong and others. Now Yuan Shao's attitude is difficult for him to do, but he has to do it.
