Chapter 162: Well-dressed beasts in the center
Yuan Shu led the army and ran to Suiyang, and halfway heard that Dong Zhuo had arrived in Peiguo, and turned to Peixian.
Whether it was a military general or a strategist, they all rode horses and followed Yuan Shu, discussing the war constantly.
Yuan Jian sighed, and said to Guo Tu and others: "The lord is benevolent, and he has not disposed of Liang Guo and Peiguo, and those money and grains have cheapened Dong Zhuo." β
In order to establish his reputation, Yuan Shu tried his best to favor the two counties of Pei and Liang, and won the hearts of the people, and there was almost no killing and looting.
Yuan Zhuo, Guo Tu and others know very well what kind of person Dong Zhuo is, such a fertile place is simply a wolf into a flock.
Xu You rode a horse, staggered, and said: "Money and food are still easy to say, Liang and Pei are many strong men, and Dong Zhuo is righteous, I am afraid that in a few days, he will be able to get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses." β
The faces of the people sank, which was also what they were most worried about.
Dong Zhuo is a famous general in Xiliang, and there are many capable people under his command, which is not comparable to Gongsun Zhan at all, if he is allowed to gather an army of 100,000, the consequences are unimaginable!
Yuan Shu sat on the chariot, listening half-clearly, his face was calm, and there was no panic.
Yuan Jian glanced at him Yuan Shu, looked at Xu Yu and said, "Ziyuan, then you say, will Dong Zhuo go to Xuzhou to unite with Tao Qian?" β
Xu You shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, if Dong Zhuo has enough money, food, soldiers and horses, he may continue to compete with the lord, Yuzhou is a place where great things have been achieved, and Dong Zhuo will not run away easily if he has ambitions." β
Yuan Shu frowned suddenly, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Xu You.
Yuzhou, it's his!
Xu You didn't realize it, and continued: "Xuzhou is not so easy to capture, I expect that the imperial court will definitely react, and if you don't draw troops out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave." β
Yuan Shu's expression became colder and colder, and he couldn't help but want to speak, but suddenly a cavalry rushed over, landed in front of Yuan Shu's chariot, ruled on one knee, and said loudly: "Lord Qi, Ji Zhonglang will be defeated by Liu Bei, the prime minister of Pengcheng, in Pengcheng, and Ji Zhonglang will be cut by a red-faced man and has withdrawn from Xuzhou." General Koji Zhonglang was defeated by Lu Bu, the captain of Pingyu, in Langya County, and has retreated to Xu County, Xiapi, asking the lord to send troops to support! β
As soon as the herald's voice fell, everyone changed color in unison.
Yuan Shu's eyes widened, he stood up violently, stared at him, and shouted, "Who is Liu Bei?" How many soldiers and horses are there? Lu Bu, how many people are there? β
If the battle situation in Xuzhou changes drastically and the offense and defense are switched, Yuan Shu will not be able to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo, and even take the defensive.
Everyone looked at the herald and couldn't help but get nervous.
The herald knelt on the ground and said: "Liu Bei is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lu Zhi, who was under Gongsun Zhan, and has no reputation, and there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses. Lu Bu is the righteous son of Yanzhou Mu Ding Yuan, who has had some military exploits and is not famous. β
Who are these people, where did they come from, and why did they defeat Ji Ling, Lu Yi?
Yuan Shu's heart was angry, his eyes flickered, he looked at the few advisors beside him, and said in a deep voice: "What do you say? β
The reversal of the situation in Xuzhou means that Yuan Shu's situation has changed, and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou will attack Yuan Shu from the flank at any time!
The situation that originally surrounded Dong Zhuo instantly turned into an encirclement of Yuan Shu!
Yuan Jian raised his hand and said urgently: "Lord, the best way now is to withdraw to Runan and reorganize the army to observe the situation. β
Yuan Shu didn't speak, looked at Tian Feng, Xu You, Guo Tu and others, and finally fell on Tian Feng, and said fiercely: "Yuan Hao, what do you teach me?" β
Tian Feng met Yuan Shu's wanton gaze, and he hated it in his heart, but he had to frown and think.
For a moment, he said quietly: "Dong Zhuo's foothold is not stable, the situation in Xuzhou is undecided, and he can't retreat now, so he should march quickly and annihilate Dong Zhuo!" β
The corners of Yuan Shu's face agitated, he looked at Tian Feng for a long time, forcibly suppressed the killing intent, turned to Xu You, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Ziyuan, what is your plan?" β
Xu You was not in a hurry, glanced at Tian Feng, raised his hand and said: "Lord, I have the same opinion as Tian Junshi, and I must not retreat at this time!" If the lord retreats, the morale of the army will inevitably be lost, and the hearts of the people will be scattered. At this time, when you enter Peiguo as quickly as possible, you should be caught off guard by killing Dong Zhuo. As long as Dong Zhuo is defeated, the three states of Yu, Xu, and Yang are still the lords, and the great cause can be expected! β
Guo Tu and Yuan Jian looked at each other, and the two looked hesitant and did not speak.
It's an option, but it's too risky!
Yuan Shu looked struggling, thinking in his heart.
He didn't believe in Tian Feng, he also had reservations about Xu You, and he was a little afraid of Dong Zhuo in his heart, so he unconsciously tended to withdraw his troops.
But Yuan Shu also knew the consequences of withdrawing his troops, and the momentum of 'Zhengjun eliminating thieves' would be dealt a huge blow, and the prestige that he had cultivated with great difficulty and the hearts of the people who had returned would be severely defeated!
This is unacceptable to him!
Tian Feng didn't speak again, his proposal was indeed the best coping strategy for Yuan Shu in front of him, if he wanted to succeed, he had to win in one battle!
If they can't win quickly, Wang Rui of Jingzhou and Gongsun Zan of Yingchuan may enter Runan again at any time and dig out Yuan Shu's nest.
At the same time, Xuzhou and Yanzhou soldiers and horses rushed over, waiting for Yuan Shu, there was only one way to be defeated!
Seeing that Tian Feng, Yuan Jian and the others did not speak, Xu You snorted coldly in his heart, raised his hand, and said loudly: "Lord, please send troops immediately, attack Pei County as quickly as possible, and destroy Dong Zhuo!" β
Yuan Shu's brows tightened even more, and his eyes looked at Yuan Jian and Guo Tu.
The two of them analyzed and analyzed, and still felt that it was the most stable to retreat to Runan and regroup, and when they saw Yuan Shu's eyes, they hesitated and said: "My lord, the lower officials think that entering Pei County will do more harm than good." β
Guo Tu followed: "The suggestion of the lower officials is to retreat to Qian County to observe the changes." β
Yuan Shu struggled in his heart, and Yingwu's face gradually distorted.
These people speak their own words, which makes it difficult for him to decide.
"Lord!" Suddenly, a soldier hurried from the front, handed over a letter, and said, "The letter from the Zhao family of Peiguo said that he had an old relationship with the lord. β
"Zhao?"
Yuan Shumu was puzzled, he knew too many people surnamed Zhao, and he couldn't remember which one it was for a while, so he took the letter and opened it.
Hurriedly swept away, Yuan Shumeng stood up and shouted: "Order Gao Lan and Zhang He to be the vanguard, and immediately send troops to Pei County!" β
Tian Feng, Xu You, Yuan Jian and the others looked at Yuan Shu's firm and confident side face, glanced at the letter in his hand, and wondered who wrote it.
Xu You didn't hold back, rode a horse, and followed Yuan Shu and said, "Lord, this letter? β
Yuan Shu quietly put away the letter, put it in his arms, looked coldly and proudly in the direction of Peixian, and said: "Dong Zhuo plundered Peiguo, and forced the family to donate money and food to help him. β
'Is there someone who can't stand it and reports it?' Xu You immediately thought in his heart.
Tian Feng frowned secretly, and was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo in his heart.
Yuan Lian, Guo Tu and the others calmed down, if there was an internal response on the Pei County side, they could fight!
Yuan Shu commanded an army of 50,000 people, non-stop, galloping day and night, and rushed straight to Peixian.
At the same time, Pei Guo Zhi, Xiang County.
Huangfu Jianchang and Shi A, who were hiding in a private house, were stabbing their arms with two bloody swords beside them.
Shi A has long been accustomed to bandaging wounds, so he is familiar with it and careless, his eyelids are raised, he looks at the emperor who has matured a lot during this time, and says, "Are you going back to Beijing?" β
Huangfu Jian bit the knot with his teeth, took a sip, spit blood foam, picked up the knife on the ground, carefully wiped the blood on it, and scolded and said: "Except for Your Majesty, I have never suffered such a big loss, I must get it back!" β
Speaking of which, Liu Bian's time was actually not heavy, but it was only later that Huangfu Song learned that Huangfu Jian had collided with Liu Biao and was directly thrown to the ground from the bed, which became serious.
Shi A sat down, took out a piece of bread from his arms, took a bite, and said: "There are bandits everywhere, the news can't be sent, there is no big war, we are hiding here sooner or later, someone will find out." β
Huangfu Jian sneered, put the knife on the side, turned around and probed into Shi A's arms with one hand, pulled it for a long time, took out half a piece of cake, took a bite, and said: "I'm not afraid of these bandits, let alone Dong Zhuo, I'm worried about those scholars who are under house arrest by Dong Zhuo." β
Dong Zhuo killed many scholars on the grounds of 'rebellion', and put many people under house arrest, nominally to 'assist in counterinsurgency', but in fact coerced them to serve him.
Shi A tidied up his clothes and said, "You want to save the Cao family?" β
Huangfu nodded strongly, snorted again, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and said: "The Cao family falls into the hands of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will definitely coerce Cao Cao, and then there will be a big trouble." We have to find a way to get the news to Kyori as soon as possible. β
If Dong Zhuo coerced Cao Cao, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Why don't you just give it to Cao Cao?" Shi Dao.
Hearing this, Huangfu Jian Chang immediately sat up, stared at Shi A with wide eyes and vigilance, and said, "I remember, you and General Cao are good friends?" β
Shi A ignored him and said lightly: "With my understanding of Cao Mengde, he will definitely not be coerced and betrayed by Dong Zhuo." β
Huangfu Jian pursed his lips and said: "You are in Pei County, the whole Pei country, yesterday voted for Yuan Shu, today voted for Dong Zhuo, secretly voted for both sides, do you think I see less?" β
During this time, Huangfu Jian really opened his eyes, and those glamorous, loyal, and more important than everything on the bright side, when it came to the critical moment, all kinds of ugly faces and disgusting words were exposed at a glance.
Shi A's eyebrows moved, and he said, "Now that the war is in chaos, how are we going to send the letter out?" β
Huangfu Jian Chang suddenly smiled.
Shi Ah couldn't see him doing this kind of wrongdoing, shook his head, and said: "Engong, the eldest prince is a strict person, how did he come to you, there are no three righteous words." β
Huangfu Jian took out his crotch, continued to hold the cake, took a big bite, and said vaguely: "To tell you a secret, I installed someone next to Dong Zhuo." β
Shi Ah ate the cake by himself and said, "I remember, after Dong Zhuo left Beijing, everyone was driven away, how did you insert it?" β
Huangfu Jian Chang became more and more proud, and said with a smile: "He drove away, but Zhang Ji and the others didn't catch up, they are the most important township party, and there is a fellow villager, don't you pull it to your side?" β
Shi Ah was not surprised, Huangfu Jianchang was the best at this kind of crooked and evil way, and said: "Dong Zhuo's army is closed down, how can you contact him?" β
Huangfu approached Shi Ah vigorously and vigorously, and a big face was about to be attached to Shi A's nose.
Shi A subconsciously held the sword, but if he didn't react slowly, Huangfu Jian's long life would be gone.
Huangfu Jian and Shi A touched the tip of their noses against the tip of their noses, and said in a low voice: "In Pei County, there are also people I have settled. β
Shi A's eyelids jumped again and again, and he let go of the sword in his hand with difficulty, and said lightly: "Hurry up and recuperate, let's go to Peixian." β
Huangfu Jian snorted heavily, and his body remained motionless.
Shi Ah endured him for a long time and kicked him away directly.
Huangfu Jian was kicked and rolled on a donkey, sat up with his stomach touched, and said like no one: "Wait, I still have to wait for news from Yuan Shu." β
Shi Ah knew that Huangfu Jian had buried someone on Yuan Shu's side, so he took back his sword, got up and said, "I'll go out to investigate, you stay still." β
Huangfu Jian didn't speak, staring at the ground in a daze.
Shi Ah ignored him and quietly walked out of the abandoned house.
A day later, Yuan Shu arrived in Xiangxian.
Compared with Dong Zhuo's burning, killing and looting, as soon as Yuan Shu's army entered the city, notices were posted everywhere to reassure the people.
"Yuan Shu, the general of the chariot cavalry, raised troops at the behest of the first emperor, and the righteous monarch eliminated the thieves!"
"No robbery, no adultery, no banditry, no false talk!"
"Go to the country, Qingjun's side, do the right thing for heaven!"
"The army has passed, and there is no crime in the autumn, and the territory and the people are safe!"
In addition to the notices, there were also soldiers beating gongs and drums walking through the streets and shouting loudly.
Huangfu Jianchang and Shi Ah hid in the abandoned well, revealing only a pair of eyes, quietly observing.
When the group of soldiers walked away, Shi Ah Cai said in a low voice, "How do you contact the people you have installed?" β
Huangfu Jian still pricked up his ears and said, "This is my secret with Your Majesty." β
Shi Ah wanted to go down, but Huangfu Jian turned his head and looked down at him and said, "He will use riddles to put the letter in the agreed place, and I will go and get it." β
Shi Ah ignored it and went straight down.
"Oops,"
Huangfu Jian hurriedly followed, and said: "This is really a secret between me and Your Majesty, don't tell outsiders, you put down your sword, this place is so narrow......"
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Huangfu Jianchang was dozing in the dry well when he was suddenly woken up by a small stone.
Huangfu Jian's long nose moved, his eyes widened, and he climbed up with a smoke, grabbed the roast chicken, and bit it up.
Shi A sat on the edge of the dry well and said, "In the early hours of last night, Yuan Shu's army was pulled out overnight. β
Huangfu bit the chicken leg and said, "Is there any wine?" β
Shi Ah frowned and took a pot of wine from the other side.
Huangfu Jian took a long sip of it, then wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Go get the secret letter." β
Shi A followed him and said, "Don't you ask Yuan Shu why he left Xiangxian in such a hurry?" β
"There will probably be in the secret message." Huangfu Jian walked while eating, and said vaguely.
After a short time, the two came to a corner of the city wall, and the emperor worked hard for a long time and pulled out two letters.
There were a bunch of strange characters on the first letter, and Huangfu Jian stuffed it into his arms, took out the second one, and looked at it carefully.
He looked very slowly, and said with a muttering voice: "Zhang He defeated Huaxiong in Xiao County, and Yuan Shu's army fought in Pei County." β
After hearing this, Shi A said to himself: "Does this Huaxiong have such a vain appearance? β
