The bottom line is, of course, to rescue Zang Hong, as long as he survives, it is best to bring his family again, and the task of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers will be completed.

But Zang Hong was able to hold on for so long, I'm afraid that the whole city also participated in the rebellion against Yuan Shao, so if Zang Hong ran away by himself, would Yuan Shao be slaughtered directly by Puyang in a fit of anger?

Continue to diverge your thinking: Will Zang Hong take this development into account and simply not leave?

Then she had to take the men, women, and children of the city back to Xiapi together.

…… It's a terrible amount of work to think about.

"If the general can capture Dongjun," Zhuge Xuan said suddenly, "he can attack from the north and south, and bring the land of Yanzhou north of Juancheng into Yanzhong, so that when Liu Zhijun leads his troops north and fights Yuan Cao, it will not be of great benefit!" ”

Lu Hangyu looked at this Uncle Zhuge in a daze.

Tian Yu, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shi Ci also looked at him in surprise.

Kong Rong blinked, as if he was a little confused by this topic of military strategic conception.

Chen Qun's brows furrowed for a while, then he suddenly stretched out and spoke in a somewhat strange tone:

"Zhuge Gong is known for his reputation in the general affairs, and everyone in Donglai knows it, and now he suddenly knows the art of war, isn't it a wonder in the world?"

…… It seems to be yin and yang.

…… Just because Uncle Zhuge suddenly put forward an idea, he was yin and yang!

Just when a few people frowned and looked at Chen Qun, and even she wanted to play a round, Zhuge Xuan suddenly showed a relieved look!

"It's not my plan!" He said loudly, "It's all my family's opinion!" He didn't say that he was young, and he was afraid that you wouldn't pay attention to him, so he asked me to tell the general! ”

……………………

If Zhuge Liang thinks it, then everything makes sense!

Zhuge Liang, who is not yet a fledgling but continues to study, sees it like this:

There could be no real peace between Yuan Cao and Liu Bei until one side was completely defeated, so taking this opportunity to expand the new frontier positions and compress Cao Cao's territory as much as possible was a very important step.

Only by driving Cao Cao out of Yanzhou could Liu Bei be able to deal with the decisive battle from the north with all his might.

Tai Shici put forward a different opinion from the perspective of a military general: "Having said that, Dongjun is only two hundred miles away from Yecheng, how can Yuan Shao endure it?" ”

Zhuge Xuan touched his beard, "How many soldiers and horses does Yuan Shao need to defeat General Ciyu?" ”

If there are few people, does he have confidence in himself?

If there are many people, it is an unbearable and lengthy process for hundreds of thousands of troops to start with the conscription of people.

She thought for a moment, "I'll have to see it with my own eyes." ”

Let's see with your own eyes what skills Yuan Benchu's Jizhou army has.

Regardless of the baggage problem on Yuan Benchu's side, the baggage problem on her side was unexpectedly solved.

"Since the general wants to go north from Tai'an," Zang Ba said, "there has been no war in the East China Sea in recent years, and there is plenty of grain and grass, so General Tian sent some officials to supervise it, and I will send someone to escort it." ”

He said it very naturally, without the kind of exaggerated and dramatic rhetoric, just serious and serious, but not in a strong sense of the matter.

…… She was stunned.

But as if sensing the hidden meaning of her stunned expression, Zang Ba touched his beard and suddenly smiled.

"Although I come from a humble background, I don't want to take a look at the scenery of Yuntai Pavilion!"

Chapter 351

The spring breeze is slow, from south to north, blowing through the land of the Central Plains, gently and patiently prompting the new sprouts, and the wheat seedlings in the soil are gradually revealed.

But spring in East County hasn't come yet.

A few green leaves were drawn from the branches of the trees within the city walls, but they lacked the moisture of the rain to allow it to continue to grow, so when someone picked two buckets of water and passed by, he might stop and scoop them up.

This year's year is not good, maybe there will be a drought.

A small landowner who had taken refuge outside the city commented.

What about the fields outside?

Field? The others immediately laughed, where is the field outside!

Outside the city there are three layers of ditches and three layers of horses that were laid out last autumn. After Yuan Shao came, he sent people to fill in the trenches, but it was extremely difficult to dig in winter, and the soil was filled during the day, so Zang Hong sent people out of the city at night to lift the soil out.

The same is true for rejecting horses, Yuan Shao sent people to burn it, and Zang Hong sent people to repair it, I don't know if he had already rebelled, and saved up civil engineering and stone materials in the city in advance, or did a good job of clearing the wilderness, and the nearby trees were pulled into the city after being cut down?

But in any case, the people of the city were right, and when they climbed the tower and looked out, they could not see the fields at all.

All they could see was the gray-brown fence of the camps, and the endless tents in the camps.

The gray tents that had never been dyed were one after another, and the camps were one after another, and there were so many of them that one could not see the edges, so that the outside of the city became a frozen wasteland, with no spring breeze, no greenery, only flags of different lengths fluttering in the camp, fluttering in mid-air, like a spirit flag, fluttering in the eyes of the defenders.

How can anyone in the world be an adversary to a man with such an army in his hands?

Xu You did think so, so he was almost surprised when he saw the prisoners who had been sent in by the sergeant, but after being surprised, he quickly covered his nose with a muslin cloth.

"Wash him," he said in disgust, "and you should be measured. ”

The sergeants immediately pulled the man farther away, carried two buckets of river water, and washed the blood stains on his body, the river water was cold and biting, but the man was silent, as if he was dead, so Xu You couldn't help frowning.

After washing, the captives still couldn't see their faces clearly.

Although Xu You's mental skills are not often used in the right place, he can make a place among so many strategists in Jizhou, which shows that he still has his ability.

He has an excellent memory, especially for the people around his colleagues, he can almost say that he can remember them, and he can write them down as materials for small reports. Therefore, he had thought that he could find a clue on the captive's face, recognize who he was, and pry his mouth open.

…… But the captives had been beaten so that their noses and faces were swollen, and they could no longer see their appearances.

He could only sigh, "Zang Ziyuan can send you out of the city, which shows that he values you." ”

The captives were silent.

If it weren't for the loud shouts of peace with his companions when the cavalry captured him, he would have been a deaf and dumb man.

"I admire you for being so loyal to your lord," Xu You poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, "Okay, I also have an old friendship with your lord, even if you think about him, you shouldn't be so arrogant, right?" ”

A trace of confusion flashed in the captive's eyes, and he looked at the wine in Xu You's hand hesitantly, as if he didn't know whether to take it or not.

Xu Yu stuffed the wine cup into his hand.

"Yuan Gong is located in Hebei, there are millions of people, a small Puyang City, why did he besiege the city so far, and he has never attacked it? Aren't you cherishing Zang Ziyuan's talent? Xu You said with a smile, "Zang Ziyuan sent you out of the city to ask for help, but you didn't know how to bow to your own lord, he was just stupid, wouldn't he even suffer with you?" ”

When the captives were about to bring wine to their mouths, they suddenly put down the cup again.

When Xu You saw it, he was overjoyed, "Tell me, who did Zang Ziyuan ask for help?" ”

The knight raised his eyes and looked at Xu You.

He roared loudly as he escorted his comrades away, and now his voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak, so his voice was soft, but still very clear:

"My lord is a Han minister, a Han in the opposition, and a Han ghost even if he dies," he said, "The Yuan brothers covet the artifact, and my lord can't be without a Taoist lord from now on!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly burst into a rage and slammed into the halberd held by the guard at the door!

The guards couldn't dodge, so they instinctively raised their halberds and rushed in!

There was an exclamation at the tent door.

Xu You stood in the tent, listening to the chaos and noise at the door, and felt very bored in his heart.

He knew that Zang Hong was known as a loyal and righteous martyr, so the city sergeant may have treated him very politely.

Such magistrates are not uncommon, but sieges are different.

The siege of the city is a major matter of life and death that the lives of the whole city are tied to the commander alone, no matter how polite the families in the city are, they may not be willing to die with Zang Hong, so as long as they have the opportunity, they will always try to start from many aspects, such as persuading Zang Hong, such as buying off the defenders, such as quietly going out of the city, and even joining forces inside and outside.

But since the siege of the city, Zang Hong has opened the city gate several times, repaired the horses, and dug the trenches, and there has been no change in the city, and it is very quiet.

- Is it the old and young people of Dongjun who follow Zang Hong to seek death, or what method did Zang Hong use to stabilize the people's hearts?

- Although he went out of the city to ask for help, where in the world could anyone break through Yuan Shao's encirclement and relieve the siege of Puyang?

- Besides, in troubled times, there are villains in the world who fall into the well, and there are unrighteous people who are cunning and repeated, how can anyone risk death to come here to rescue?

Xiahoudun calmly looked at the person in front of him.

He was tall, dark-skinned, and had a demeanor that was typical of a military general, but when he talked to him, his gaze was not evasive or sneaky.

As a traitor, Wei Xu shouldn't be so calm, as if he was calculating and betraying not the lord he had followed for more than ten years, but an inconsequential person.

— even an enemy.

Xiahoudun suddenly had such an idea, and then felt very surprised.

But when he asked this question, Wei Xu didn't follow his train of thought to answer.

"I just want to merge the state army," he leaned forward, and said with a little urgency and greed, "If the general can join forces with me except for Lu Bu, and I will be in charge of the state army, I will be ruined by Cao Gong's liver and brain!" ”

Calm and shameless, the attitude of treating the most basic morality of monarchs, ministers and ministers as nothing, made Xiahoudun speechless for a while.

"You said before that Lu Bu was secretly planning something unfavorable to Cao Gong, did you have eyebrows?" The one-eyed general decided to continue the topic, "Cao Gong has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, and if the general has credit to Cao Gong, he will not forget the general." ”

The rough-looking general's nose twitched a few times, and a terrible smile appeared on his face:

"He believed in me and told me everything! He said that there was a big event recently, and if he wanted to do it, he had to convince the little emperor first! Wei continued to say, "He must have wanted to be unfavorable to Duke Cao, so he wanted to slander the Son of Heaven!" ”

Xiahoudun looked at him calmly, "And then?" ”

Then, then Lu Bu said that the little emperor was an indecisive and difficult person to convince, if only Xiao Lu was here...... There's always a way for her. ”

Xiahoudun frowned.

I don't know if it's like this for all the generals of the Bingzhou Army, or only a few around Lu Bu, but Xiahoudun is used to hearing the clear and organized words of Liu Ye, Guo Jiacheng, Yu Xunyu, and other scribes, and now he feels a little painful when he talks to Wei Xu.

…… Maybe Lu Lian is a shrewd and eloquent person, so he is valued by Lu Bu and Wei Xu.

…… But when she was on an envoy to Juancheng, she didn't see any grace and eloquence.

…… Maybe this person has a scheming city, and it is unknown whether he deliberately hides it.

Xiahoudun was so momentarily out of consciousness, but immediately reflected.

"If we can't find out what Lu Bu's plan is, you and I can't do it."

"Why can't you do it?" Wei Xu immediately became anxious, "We can strike first!" I'm going to unite Hou Cheng and ......"
