Chapter 283: The Final Battle
Yang Zhao kept the contract, and the day after Yuan Shao agreed to cede the land and sue for peace, he retreated directly to Anyang.
Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Yang Zhao had retreated.
But thinking of the aggrieved conditions of ceding land and asking for peace, he was very unhappy, if he didn't agree, he might not even be able to hold Yecheng, this is a helpless choice.
Yang Zhao retreated to Anyang, let Zhang Xiu and Pan Feng lead 20,000 troops, garrison in Anyang, and then return to Liyang, contact Zhang Ji of Baima, to ensure the smooth passage of the back road and grain transportation.
Between Liyang and Anyang, a number of strongholds and beacon towers were set up.
As long as Yuan Shao dared to cut off their retreat, the beacon tower would immediately warn and respond in time, and even attack Yecheng again.
However, the current Yuan Shao should not dare to mess around.
After retreating to the White Horse, Yang Zhao was about to go to Shanyang, when Cao Cao sent someone to ask for a meeting.
"I've seen Yang Yuanjun."
It's still Xun Yu who came, and he stepped forward to bow.
Yang Zhao invited him into the camp and sat down, and said with a smile: "Does Meng De have anything to say, let Wen Ruolai tell me?" ”
Xun Yu nodded and said: "Exactly, our lord said that Yang Yuanjun has defeated Yuan Benchu, and the war between the two sides is almost over, so Yanzhou matters, I want to talk to Yuanjun, is it convenient." ”
Cao Cao was definitely unwilling, looking at most of the counties in Yanzhou, they were snatched away by Yang Zhao.
When he chose not to send troops, he didn't expect that Yang Zhao would use offense as a defense, and now he also thought about sending troops to recapture them, but those weapons that made a loud noise were too shocking to be sure that they could be recaptured.
Then through diplomatic negotiations, find Yang Zhao to come back.
"Wen Ruo went back and told Meng De, let him rest assured."
"When I solve Yuan Shu, I will bring Yuan Benchu, Tao Gongzu, and Meng De together to discuss, the counties of Yanzhou, I will not rob them in the hands of Meng De, and those who were beaten down by me will definitely be returned."
Yang Zhao said.
Hearing this, Xun Yu was a little relieved.
It's good to be able to return it, which proves that Yang Zhao is still a person who values love and righteousness.
"Thank you, Yang Envoy!"
Xun Yu got up and bowed, and stayed for a short time, conveyed all the words that should be conveyed, and brought Yang Zhao's news back.
When he left, Guo Jia asked, "Does the lord really want to return it?" ”
Yang Zhao said: "If you fight it, you can return it to Cao Mengde, but I want one, a county that has not been defeated, a kingdom that has surrendered, it is not a breach of promise, and it will not be me to rob it when the time comes, someone will help me rob it." ”
How to deal with the affairs of Yanzhou, he has almost thought about it.
Seeing Xun Yu away, they officially set off and headed to the south of Shanyang to prepare to settle Yuan Shu, who had been in a stalemate for a long time.
——
"Mingguang is so powerful!"
Liu Bei got the latest news, and called Gongsun Zhan to Zhuo County, and together at Lu Zhi's house, he let out an exclamation.
After Lu Zhi read the news that Yang Zhao took offense as defense, swept Yanzhou, and defeated Yuan Shao, he also had to sigh that this battle was fought extremely well and beautifully.
If he had been allowed to play, he would not have had such a result.
"Mingguang's weapons, what are they?"
Gongsun Chan for fried. Medicine, deeply interested.
A special weapon that could make a loud noise and destroy the city walls, he would love to get it.
If there is this thing, Gongsun Chan is confident that he can sweep away the foreign tribes, so that the foreign tribes dare not approach the border, and he can also go south to sweep Jizhou, so that Yuan Shao is overwhelmed.
Liu Bei said: "Mingguang knows a lot of things, and that loud weapon must have been made by him." ”
When they thought of their time in Liangxiang, those salts and three-bow bed crossbows were things they had never thought of before.
"That's it!"
Lu Zhi suddenly interrupted: "Mingguang's achievements today are obtained by him through hard work, instead of discussing here, you might as well work hard like Mingguang." ”
Liu Bei was humbly taught: "What the teacher taught is! ”
Gongsun Chan thought for a while and asked, "Can the teacher contact Mingguang and ask him to give me some of the weapons that make loud noises?" I don't want to make a method, just a weapon, to fight the Wuhuan and Xianbei people in the north and preparing to go south. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei's expectant eyes also fell on Lu Zhi.
If Lu Zhi asked, with Yang Zhao's respect for the teacher, he would definitely give it.
"I'll give it a try!"
Lu Zhi wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, he agreed, and according to the latest news, Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north were ready to move again.
Gongsun Chan was the main force in the early period of the Three Kingdoms to fight against the foreign Hu people.
With that kind of weapon assistance, the Hu people can be quiet for a long time.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Gongsun Chan bowed in thanks.
Liu Bei said again: "Teacher, I ......"
Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhi nodded.
They left rejoicing.
As long as they get those things, they can still find a way to imitate them, of course, the imitation will not be said openly, but in secret, and they will be more confident when the time comes.
Seeing them leave, Lu Zhi opened the letter that Lu Yu had asked Lu Yu to send recently, read it for a while, wrote a reply to Lu Yu, and directly asked if he could send a batch of that weapon over.
As for whether Yang Zhao will agree, he does not promise.
——
Yang Zhao came to the south of Shanyang.
Xu Huang was still in Xiaopei, confronting Ji Ling, a subordinate of Yuan Shu.
The main force led by Zhang Liao is still stationed in the south of Shanyang, and the main force of Yuan Shu is in a stalemate, and the news in the north, Yuan Shu's side is lagging behind, and it is not clear to what extent things have developed for the time being.
In the Huainan area, Sun Ce was there, and Liu Miao and Liu Biao didn't do anything.
Yuan Shu's goal was to kill Yang Zhao and snatch King Hongnong, even if it was a stalemate for so long, he still refused to retreat, and he had to fight the alliance between Yanzhou and Yuan Shao.
But the stalemate lasted, and the Huainan soldiers became more and more demoralized.
Husband war, courage also.
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.
Yuan Shu's attacks were more than three times, but all of them were blocked by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and their morale had already dried up to the point that they were just struggling to the end.
"Lord!"
Zhang Liao saw Yang Zhao coming and bowed.
Yang Zhao asked, "How?" ”
Zhang Liao said proudly: "Do not disgrace the mission!" ”
They blocked Yuan Shu's several strong attacks, and they were able to counterattack back, winning more with less, which is indeed something to be proud of.
"Wen You has no way to repel Yuan Shu?"
Yang Zhao looked back at Li Ru.
Li Ru said: "Of course there is, but the lord is not here, I don't dare to take risks, now that the lord is here, we can let go of our hands and do it." ”
Yang Zhao asked, "What is Wenyou's plan?" Tell me about it! ”
Li Ru said again: "The lord can let Gongming come back and set up a suspicious formation in Xiao Pei's hometown, so that the enemy general Ji Ling can't find out for the time being, Xiao Pei has already withdrawn." Then the lord took the initiative to challenge Lu Bu, as long as the attention of Yuan Shu and the others was attracted to Lu Bu, and the others were ignored, I had a way to make Yuan Shu run away! ”
"Ji Ling in the south of Xiaopei, how to deal with it?"
Yang Zhao thought about it and asked.
Guo Jia understood what Li Ru meant, and preemptively said: "Yuan Shu has been defeated, Ji Ling is not afraid, as long as an army is arranged to intercept and kill, he will probably be able to wipe it out!" ”
"Yes!"
Li Ru said confidently.
