Chapter 168: Yuan Shu's Madness
The land of the north of the desert is barren, the autumn wind blows, the yellow sand all over the ground is even more bleak, looking at everything in front of him, Zhao Yun couldn't help but complain, he has been to this desert many times, as for Chengfeng fooling his own long river sunset, he has a deep experience!
"Master Hou! We brought back 7,000 war horses this time, can we form cavalry? Just when Zhao Yun was thinking about how to clean him up the next time he saw Cheng Feng, the soldiers next to him interrupted his train of thought!
"Hmmm! It's time to assemble heavy cavalry! Zhao Yun couldn't help but say proudly, the war horses this time are all carefully selected, and they can completely bear the weight of thousands of catties, so that their heavy cavalry can be formed into a formation! Chengfeng set a standard for himself, the heavy cavalry can not exceed a thousand, otherwise he will drag himself to death, although the family does not dare to provoke Changshan, but this material is in their hands, with the development of the city. Cheng Feng also understands that the family still has some use!
"Great! Then we can become the Floating Army! "The pro-soldiers are very happy, because they can become Zhao Yun's pro-soldiers, which means that their abilities are the best in the whole army!
"Don't care too much about these, bring the war horse back first, and build the state well is the most important thing!" Zhao Yun said with a smile, the calmness on his body didn't look like a teenager at all!
"Yes! Checkmate! "The soldier said, but the excitement in his eyes can't be hidden!
"Report! A stream of scouts was spotted ahead, about fifty people! ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yun frowned, they are all their own people here, how can there be scouts but not report to themselves!
"Intercept it quickly!" Zhao Yun said angrily
"No!"
"Yuan Shao's people?" Looking at the scout in front of him, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning, this is not a good sign! Now the princes everywhere are paying attention to Yuan Shu's body, if Yuan Shao secretly gives Chengfeng such a blow, he can perfectly knock out Chengfeng's advantage, after all, Chengfeng's territory is too big, and Liaodong is not so stable, the most important thing is that no one will be willing to help Chengfeng, I'm afraid there will be more people who fall into the well!
"Say your purpose! Otherwise, it's hard to die! I, Zhao Yun, do what I say! Zhao Yun said coldly
"Ahh It's Zhao Yun! When the leading scout heard this, he turned pale with fright.
"Master Hou spares his life, I say! We are sent by Guo Tu to open a road through the Western Regions so that we can ally with those foreign races! The scout said
"Humph! I want to blind his heart! Zhao Yun snorted coldly
"It can't be that simple!" Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed, and his hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword!
"And let's pay more attention to the whereabouts and troop deployment of Hou Ye and others, as well as the contact with Chang Shan, it is best to find Hou Ye's grain and grass supply line!" Another scout said
"Humph! Yuan Benchu's thief heart is not dead! Zhao Yun snorted coldly
"Master Hou! What to do with these people? As soon as he heard this, he was so frightened that several scouts hurriedly begged for mercy, and they were so weak that they didn't dare to look up at Zhao Yun again!
"Let it go! You go back and tell Yuan Shao, let him stay in Yecheng honestly, otherwise I will personally destroy him in Jizhou! Zhao Yun said with a smile, he hadn't paid attention to these people, and now all he was thinking about was how to keep the state well!
"Thank you Lord Hou for not killing!" When a few scouts heard this, they quickly kowtowed!
"Go! Tell Zhang Liao and the others to actively prepare for the war, Yuan Shao may have to make a big move! Watching the scout walk away, Zhao Yun instructed the people around him
"No!"
Zhao Yun never thought that Yuan Shao's actions were true, but he did not do anything to Jizhou, but after receiving the news from Yuan Shu, he directly asked him for the jade seal, and Yuan Shu asked him to send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear first, so that he would present the jade seal, the two did not reach a consensus, and then Yuan Shao made a decisive move, killed the Yuan Shu envoy, and sent the head to Emperor Xu Du Han Xian, and exposed Yuan Shu's evil deeds to the world, so that the Yuan family was completely divided!
"Huh! This Yuan Shu is at the end of the road! Cao Cao looked at the news in his hand and couldn't help laughing
"Prime Minister, will Yuan Shao really send troops to attack our rear?" Cheng Yu worried, because Yuan Shao can't be seen with common sense, and he often does things out of line!
"It's not that there is no such possibility, so I put Cao Ren in Chenliu, as for Yan Liang, is there any whereabouts of him now?" Cao Cao said, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked
"After Yan Liang left the Lu-Liu coalition army under the pretext, he has been stationed near Puyang, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will land from Puyang, thus opening a gap to the south!" Xun Yu said
"It's okay, just one Yan Liang can't become the climate, Lu Bu doesn't die, Yuan Shao doesn't dare to fight Puyang's idea, after all, in the Tiger Prison Pass back then, Lu Bu was afraid of the Yuan family brothers!" Cao Mengde said with a smile
"Will Yuan Shu use the jade seal to cause a fight?" Xun Yu Dao
"This is inevitable, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit! How could this prince, who had a heavy army, let go of this opportunity! Cao Cao sighed
"This? Please also ask the prime minister to break through Shouchun as soon as possible, take down Yuan Shu, and return the jade seal to the Son of Heaven! Xun Yu said
"Wen Ruo rest assured, when our army is rested, we will take Yuan Shu in one go!" Cao Cao said with a smile, although he was smiling, but he was dissatisfied in his heart, this Xun Wenruo still had his heart towards the court!
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xun Yu was overjoyed
"Send someone to Yu Ban, let him move forward quickly, cooperate with Liu Bei and others, and quickly break the city!" Cao Cao Dao,
"No!"
"Humph! The hateful Yuan Benchu, Lao Tzu is really blind! "In Shouchun City, Yuan Shu has forgotten that this is the first time he has roared, Yuan Shao has played with the bottom of the kettle, and he has finally put himself on the oil pot!
"Your Majesty is angry, now the overall situation is still the priority, Yuan Shao does not see the jade seal and does not send troops, it is better to send someone to send the jade seal over!" Yang Hongdao
"Fart, Yuan Shao just wants the jade seal, even if he gives it to him, he won't send troops, now we still have to rely on ourselves, even if we don't have him Yuan Shao, we can hold on!" Yuan Shu roared
"Send an order to Ji Ling, let him break the encirclement of Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and destroy the living forces first, I estimate that Cao Cheng's army will arrive soon!" Yuan Shudao
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Under the control of Yuan Shu, all parties are brewing a new offensive, Yuan Shu needs time to hold on to Shouchun, and Cao Cao Chengfeng and others need to build the city they just occupied, as for Liu Bei and Lu Bu, under Yuan Shu's policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, they can only contain and consume the strength of Yuan Jun, and several forces have reached a short-term peace, and this short time has been more than a year!
At that time, there was a great drought, and there was basically no harvest in various places, and the Huainan area under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu did not hide from it, plus continuous battles, the cultivated land was unmanaged, and the granaries were basically empty, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others were also worried about grain and grass every day!
"Big brother, let's hurry up and ask Cao Cao for grain and grass!" Zhang Feidao, he hasn't drunk wine for a long time, and the food is not enough to eat, how can he be willing to use it to make wine, think about his former Peach Blossom Forest Swallow Dock in Zhuo County, that is a small wine to drink every day, how moisturizing it is!
"I'm afraid Cao Cao doesn't have much food now!" Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect this Yuan Shu to be so frustrated, he actually defended Shouchun to the death, and the people in Huainan were also not afraid of death, and they stubbornly resisted the people on their side, even if Cao Cao's generals were forbidden to support, they were also stuck outside the pass, and the entire Huainan Yangzhou became an iron bucket, an iron bucket without any shortcomings!
"It doesn't matter, Cao Cao said, we send troops, he will provide grain and grass, and now we can't say anything. Then let's go back to Xiaopei directly! Zhang Fei said
"Third brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Guan Yu said, he knows his third brother, and if he doesn't do it, it's really possible that he won't do it!
"Big brother, you better send a letter to Cao Cao, there is really not much grain and grass!" Guan Yu also frowned and said,
"The Mi family doesn't have much food left!" Mi Fang glanced at Mi Zhudao, who closed his eyes and recuperated
"Alright! I'll try it, I hope Cao Cao can bring a batch of grain and grass over! Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh
"My lord! Yuan Shao has moved! Cheng Feng was anxiously preparing to build the city wall for a while, and Guo Jia suddenly came over with a smile!
"Oh? Since Zilong sent the news last time, he hasn't seen Yuan Benchu's movements, what kind of idea did he have this time? Is it a sneak attack on Guandu? Or is it a surprise attack on Puyang? Cheng Feng said with a smile
"Neither!" Guo Jia laughed
"Oh? Could it be that troops were sent from Luoyang to attack Wancheng? "Cheng Feng is interested now
"Why do you have to fight Cao Cao?" Guo Jiadao
"Huh?" Cheng Feng was stunned, Yuan Shao's troops were sent in these directions, could it be that he was fighting with himself, so why didn't Zhao Yun send a message?
"Yuan Shao sent someone to Liaodong!" Guo Jia said with a smile
"Oh! I really can't bear it! Cheng Feng hurriedly took the letter, and the more he looked at it, the closer his brow became!
"Yuan Shao, what is this crazy? actually went to Liaodong to buy grain? Cheng Feng was a little speechless
"This year's drought, that is, we have grain, Liaodong has been developed by us, and there are Zhancheng rice and potatoes, which can be said to be rich in materials, Yuan Shao once thought about sending troops, but was scared back by Xu Shu and Zhang He!" Guo Jia said with a smile
"The Yuan family is not short of grain and grass, Yuan Shao doesn't need to buy so much grain at all! Besides, these potatoes won't last long! Cheng Feng was a little puzzled
"It seems that Yuan Shao wants to study this new species!" Guo Jiadao
"Hmmm! Ordered Zilong, the governor and all military affairs in Liaodong, Jizhou, and Zhou, if Yuan Shao's troops and horses are mobilized, he can find an opportunity to fight, and there is no need to ask for instructions! "Cheng Feng Dao. Although I don't know Yuan Shao's thoughts, one thing is certain, that is, Yuan Shao will not come to send money to himself, this grain and grass is not for his own military needs, it is for Yuan Shu to buy!
"No!" Guo Jia said, "Then how to deal with this Hefei, there are still not many people coming over?" ”
"Aren't there 5,000 people?" Cheng Feng frowned
"More than half of them are from the beggar gang, and some of them are captives from last time!" Guo Jia said speechlessly, Cao Cao directly took the people back to Runan, so that Chengfeng didn't get a few people here!
"It doesn't matter! It's time to build a military base! Let's demarcate the scope first, build the city wall, and then talk about the rest of the personnel! By the way, we have to find a way to let Zilong and them send a batch of grain and grass over, and the grain and grass left by Zhang Xun are basically bottoming out! Chengfeng smiled bitterly, this year, the people of Hefei have become infrastructure madness, this food Chengfeng is also completely released, eat and drink enough, just ask for the speed of construction!
"Mr. Tian Yu is probably ready, and he should be on his way here!" Guo Jiadao, he is not interested in this kind of construction at all, if he wants to attack the city and destroy it, he still likes it!
"That's good! By the way, is there any news in Shouchun City, it's been more than a year, and there hasn't been a fight! "Cheng Feng is a little puzzled, and he said that he would solve it quickly!
"Still besieged, Cao Cao wants to consume the strength of other people, and Liu Bei and the others are also lions with big mouths and take the opportunity to expand supplies!" Guo Jiadao
"Can we get our people to open a gap for them and let them do it lively!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, which made Wu Tiangang and the others feel cold on their backs and sweat on their foreheads!
"It has to be! I've wanted to do this for a long time, but the time is not yet ripe, wait, and when Cao Cao can't sit still, I'll do it again! Guo Jiadao
Just when Chengfeng Guo Jia and the two were discussing, Yuan Shu, who was far away in Shouchun, was engaged in a crazy movement.
Mrs. Feng, a person who has no record in the history books of later generations, but she is a forgotten beauty of the Three Kingdoms. She was born in a family of eunuchs, her father was Feng Fang, and she served as Shang Shulang and Sili Lieutenant during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu saw that Feng Fang's daughter was a stunning beauty, and he couldn't help but be tempted, so he married her as a wife.
There are many wives and concubines in the palace after Yuan's operation, as many as 100 people, so it is difficult to avoid the competition for favor among the wives and concubines in the harem. And Mrs. Feng, who was named the queen, has become a thorn in the side of many harem wives and concubines. The other women in Yuan's palace were very jealous of Mrs. Feng's beauty and favor, so they gave Mrs. Feng a bad idea, wanting to kill Mrs. Feng, they said: "Yuan Shu likes women with integrity the most, if you want to cry if you are fine, so that he will definitely love you more." So, the simple Mrs. Feng did as they said, but Mrs. Feng's crying not only did not anger Yuan Shu, but in exchange for more favor from Yuan Shu, the harem lady saw that the plan did not succeed, and was very jealous, so they worked together to strangle Mrs. Feng to death, and then hung her body on the beam of the toilet. When Yuan Shu saw it, he naively thought that his queen was depressed and died, so he buried her.
Mrs. Feng's death was a huge blow to Yuan Shu, directly turning him from a generation of heroes into a greasy uncle, and since then he has ignored the affairs of the court, only caring about drinking and having fun, and even the ministers who came to persuade him to admonish him were killed by a dozen!
"Get out of here!" Yuan Shu was furious, looking at those unclothed palace maids, Yuan Shu's heart was extremely missing Mrs. Feng!
"Your Majesty! Please take care of your dragon body! "Ji Ling, as the only person Yuan Shu can trust, is the only one who dares to enter the palace!
"It's Ji Ling! What happened to the army outside the city? After Yuan Shu saw the visitor, he didn't lose his temper again, and at the same time pulled out his spear and let go of the seven or eight concubines around him!
"Liu Bei's army is preparing to attack the city, but Lu Bu is nowhere to be seen, and the five thousand men and horses we discharged have already destroyed everything that can be eaten nearby!" Ji Lingdao
"Hmmm! Not bad! You are ready to prepare and give them a good morale blow, I want this Shouchun to be their burial place! Yuan Shu laughed wildly
"Yes! Your Majesty! Ji Ling was shocked, and secretly made up his mind that he must fight this battle well!
After Ji Ling withdrew, Yuan Shu looked at the dozens of beauties around him, and suddenly became interested again, and couldn't help but launch a vicious battle!
"Pass the order! The whole city will accept concubines, and in addition, the food and wives and daughters of those untouchables will be recruited to expand the military supply! Yuan Shu's excited voice came, making the ministers outside couldn't help frowning!
"Your Majesty, no!" YANG Hongdao,
"Lord Yang is cautious!" Before Yang Hong could speak, he was stopped by Ji Ling, "Now Your Majesty is crazy, you won't listen to other people's advice, if Lord Yang dies again, it will just be a life in vain, it's better to appease the people and do something practical for the whole city!" "Ji Lingdao, for these literati, he really doesn't look down on them, the first is that he has no eyesight, and the second is really useless, Wen can't govern the country and the country, and he can't kill the enemy on the field, he will only do some ridiculous things for his so-called reputation! If he could, Ji Ling really wanted to give these people a click!
"Can't? Pull it out and cut it! Yuan Shu said angrily
"Your Majesty is angry, Lord Yang is also thinking about Your Majesty's body!" Ji Ling hurriedly spoke
"Joke! Am I going to take a fancy to these pariahs? I am thinking about the 300,000 troops in the city, and the city is broken, what is the use of the people who cannot use it? Yuan Shu said angrily
"Let the people of the whole city go to defend the city, men are soldiers, women are logistics, and those who don't go will be punished on the spot!" Yuan Shu's murderous voice shook the hall!
"This?" Several Wenchen looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked!
"Needless to say, let's go and prepare!" After Yuan Shu finished speaking, there were bursts of delightful sounds in the hall after a while!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please! It seems that this is the last war! Ji Ling sneered
"Please also invite the general to take charge!" Yan Xiang and several other ministers also stopped pretending to be calves and bowed to Ji Ling. They are really shocked this time, they are Dacheng's courtiers, they have betrayed the Han, even if they surrender again, they will not be accepted by the world, they will only receive endless ridicule!
"Logistics depends on you, I have my own ideas for killing the enemy on the battlefield!" Ji Lingdao
"Good! If we work together, we will win! Yan Xiang smiled, although it was a wry smile, and it didn't look good when he smiled, but he finally achieved the same heart!
