Chapter 373: Rushing to the Doctor
Yuan Shu led 10,000 soldiers to defend the city, but after three days, Cao Ang had no intention of attacking the city, which directly made Yuan Shu unable to rectify it.
"This Cao Ang, what does it mean, besiege but not attack, does he want to consume me, it's really naΓ―ve! Just more than 10,000 people, with Shouchun's reserve food, can't eat it for three or five years! β
Yuan Shu smiled disdainfully and complained about Cao Ang.
Since Yan Xiang died of illness, Yuan Lian has been sick at home and has not come out, so the only one who follows Yuan Shu at this time and makes plans for him is Yang Hong.
Although Yang Hong said that the level of this strategy was average, he could still see that Cao Ang was besieging and not attacking for the purpose of destroying their morale.
So he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, this Cao Ang besieged but did not attack, in fact, it was to consume the morale of our army, that day Your Majesty was on the city wall, raising your arms and shouting, the morale of our army was greatly boosted, at that time, if Cao Ang came to attack the city, he would inevitably lose his troops." β
"But Cao Ang didn't attack, just surrounded Shouchun City, the purpose is to consume the morale of our army!"
After Yuan Shu listened to Yang Hong's analysis, he immediately panicked, that Cao Ang led an army of 300,000, even if he divided his troops to fight, he could mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shouchun City.
Even if it is with the appointment pile, Shouchun City can be breached, and Cao Ang is now besieging but not attacking, just wanting to minimize casualties.
"It makes sense, what should I do now, if there is no morale, as long as the Cao army attacks the city, these 10,000 defenders, I am afraid that in an instant, they will be wiped out!"
When Yang Hong heard this, he frowned, and then said: "Your Majesty, the sergeants that Dazhong can mobilize now are all in the hands of General Zhang Xun, but General Zhang was dragged by Cai Mao's guy and couldn't get out. β
"Asking for help?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows: "I have already begged, then Yuan Shao has already begun to attack Yanzhou now, as long as we hold on, he Cao Ang will definitely return to defense." β
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it off!" Yang Hong said nervously: "If Cao Ang's army forcibly attacks the city, regardless of casualties, it only takes one day to capture Shouchun." β
"Or maybe he comes to attack the city at a fixed time every day, and then leaves after a while, in this way, the 10,000 defenders in the city will be quickly consumed."
Yang Hong opened his mouth and analyzed Yuan Shu: "Besides, Yuan Shao can't quench his thirst after all, so if we ask for help, we still have to ask for close!" β
"Close?" When Yuan Shu said this, his face became even more ugly.
Jingzhou Liu Biao and Cao Ang have a good relationship, but they have a grudge against him, and if they want to ask Liu Biao for help, don't even think about it.
Then there are Tao Qian and Liu Bei, one of them has a good relationship with Cao Ang, and the other is an imperial uncle, and they will definitely not help him, a traitor.
As for Lu Bu, it was no longer within Yuan Shu's consideration.
came to the door with gifts, but they were all rejected, and there was a sentence that the tiger girl An can match the dog.
If he rushes to ask for help from Lu Bu again, then where will he put Yuan Shu's face!
"Ask whom?" After Yuan Shu thought about it for a while, he didn't think of when he would ask for help, so he could only continue to ask Yang Hong.
Yang Hong was also straightforward when he heard this, and directly gave his answer: "Lu Bu! β
"Still looking for Lu Bu?" Yuan Shu hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "No, no, no, last time Yuan Jian took the golden beauty to find Lu Bu and his relatives, what did he look like when he was humiliated by that puppet?" β
"No, no, I don't agree with this! Lu Bu, that puppet, I can't wait to break his body into pieces! β
Yuan Shu hated Lu Bu so much that he gritted his teeth, how could he agree to ask Lu Bu for help again?
Yang Hong also knew that Lu Bu was unreliable, but if there was any other way now, Yang Hong would not take the initiative to ask Lu Bu for help.
"Lord, last time it must have been Yuan Lian's guy, he didn't know how to be flexible, and he angered Lu Bu, which led to the failure of the marriage, this time, the minister is willing to go on a trip in person, and promise Lu Bu a generous gift, I believe he will definitely agree."
Yang Hong continued to speak as he spoke: "Your Majesty, I heard that you also have a daughter who is not yet married, so it is better to give it to Lu Bu as a concubine, so that he Lu Bu must send troops to help Your Majesty." β
After listening to Yang Hong's analysis, Yuan Shu couldn't help frowning.
It's not enough to send money and food, but also to give people?
Although that daughter is only a concubine of Yuan Shu, she was born to a maid when Yuan Shu was drunk.
But now, Yuan Shu is the emperor, so this daughter is a princess.
He Lu Bu is a country husband, how can he marry a princess?
Yuan Shu scolded Lu Bu 10,000 times in his heart, still angry.
But what can be done?
Yang Hong's proposal is indeed the best way at the moment.
So, Yang Hongyou, with money and Yuan Shu's concubine, left Shouchun from the south gate of Shouchun City, took a detour to the north, and went to ask Lu Bu for help.
And after Lu Bu laid down a city, he directly stationed there, and did not continue to attack Yangzhou's territory.
Because his military advisor told him that with their current strength, they are only enough to hold these territories, and no matter how big they are, I am afraid that the people below will cause chaos.
As a result, Lu Bu was very persuaded to stop blindly expanding his territory, but began to consolidate the territory he had conquered.
Yang Hong took money, food and people, and found Lu Bu very easily.
When Lu Bu learned that it was Yuan Shu's subordinate again, who came to find him, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a while.
What annoyed Lu Bu was that Yuan Shu was that Lao Tzu was a fool? The last time he was scolded like that by Lao Tzu, wasn't he angry?
And what made Lu Bu want to laugh was that this Yuan Shu was a real fool, and it was not enough to be rejected once, and he had to do it again.
The middle-aged man beside Lu Bu, after hearing the news, also smiled bitterly, he looked at Lu Bu on the side: "Fengxian, this time it's the same as last time, leave the things behind, and the people drive them away." β
"This is natural, what is sent in a hurry, don't be in vain!" Lu Bu sneered, and asked Yang Hong to come in.
At the same time, the gifts brought by Yang Hong were also received by the middle-aged man beside Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked at Yang Hong and smiled slightly: "Why isn't it the envoy who came last time, has it been replaced?" β
Yang Hong arched his hand at Lu Bu and said, "The general said that he laughed, the envoy collided with the general last time, and after he went back, he was severely punished by His Majesty, how could he be allowed to come again?" β
β¦β¦
At this time, Yuan Jian also received the matter that Yuan Shu sent Yang Hong to ask for help from Lu Bu, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this a rush to the doctor?" (End of chapter)
