Chapter 297: Exit from the Central Plains
Just when Yuan Shao was gloomy, the voice of a soldier sounded outside: "Report, the envoy of Marquis Wu asks to see!" β
The generals and strategists looked out of the hall one after another.
Yuan Shao took a deep breath.
Glanced at everyone.
Seeing that they didn't have any intention of suggesting anything at all, Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Let him in!" β
The soldier answered and withdrew.
After a while, I saw a young man walk in.
The young man has a slender posture, a majestic and high-spirited momentum.
A smile remained on his face.
In his hand, he also holds a bamboo tube.
Following the guidance of the soldiers, the young man lifted the hem of his clothes, strode across the threshold, walked straight to the hall, and saluted Yuan Shao: "Envoy of Marquis Wu, Lingling Jiang Wan, I have seen Yuan Gong!" β
Yuan Shao has a good impression of handsome people.
Seeing that Jiang Wan was extraordinary-looking, young and didn't seem to be a weak crown, Yuan Shao's voice softened a lot and asked, "Why does Wu Hou always send someone as young as you?" Not afraid of faux pas? Are you not afraid to see me? β
Jiang Wan smiled and said: "Wu Hou is a hero in the world, very comparable, he attaches great importance to young and handsome people, so that I can have the prosperity of the great Jiangdong." Isn't it normal for me to be reused when I'm young? β
Yuan Shao's anger rose instantly.
Kindly ask yourself.
This Jiang Wan actually belittled himself as a hero?
Then Lu Yi'er attaches importance to young Junjie, which means that I don't pay attention to it?
It is also said that it is "Dajiangdong"!
Jiangdong is Jiangdong, where is the big saying?
Yuan Shaozheng wanted to go back.
But his eyes fell on the bamboo tube in Jiang Wan's hand, and he still endured it.
Now the situation is not in control.
Lu Yi is strong, but he is weak.
The other side is preparing to attack the city again.
At this time, there is no point in fighting with a young man.
Yuan Shao held back his anger and continued to ask, "What did Wu Hou ask you to do?" β
Jiang Wan presented the bamboo tube with both hands and said, "Wu Hou asked me to persuade Yuan Gong to withdraw from the Central Plains. β
"Presumptuous!" Rao is Yuan Shao endured it again and again, and he couldn't help but be angry at this time.
Exit the Central Plains?
Are you kidding!
I spent so much energy to finally get the Central Plains from the hands of the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao, and Lu Yi'er was just a child, and he actually asked me to quit?
Think I, Yuan Shao, really can't lift the knife?
Still can't kill anyone?
All the generals and strategists lowered their heads again, and they didn't dare to gasp.
Jiang Wan was not afraid when he saw Yuan Shao so angry, he just raised his head and said with a smile: "Wu Hou said that Yuan Gong should withdraw between dark. Otherwise, after dark, the army will attack the city, and there will be no grass, and Yuan Gong will lose a large number of soldiers. β
After a pause, Jiang Wan said: "He is not worth it for Yuan Gong." β
"Yuan Gong was originally full of talents."
"But since defeating Gongsun Zan and appointing the Yuzhou faction, he has made many mistakes."
"Tian Feng killed himself in the dungeon."
"Frustrated and retreated."
"Xin Bi, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other heroes all abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and threw themselves under the tent of Wu Hou."
"Wu Hou is worried that if Yuan Gong does not spare a life for his soldiers, or Yuan Gong will end up alone and no one can be used."
"That's rightβ"
Jiang Wan looked at Yuan Shao.
Seeing Yuan Shao's hideous face and his forehead jumping violently, Jiang Wan said with a serious face: "Yuan Gong's brother Yuan Highway, Wu Hou thinks that he and Yuan Gong will end up together. β
"When Yuan Highway was dying, because of the betrayal of his relatives, he wanted to drink a sip of honey water but couldn't."
"Wu Hou is really worried about Yuan Gong, and he is afraid that Yuan Gong will take the Yuan Highway."
"After allβ"
Jiang Wan smiled again and said, "Wu Hou has a concubine, Mrs. Yuan, but she is Yuan Highway's biological daughter. β
"Yuan Highway is Yuan Gongling's brother again."
"From this point of view, Duke Yuan is Wu Hou's father-in-law."
"As a junior, Wu Hou cherishes Yuan Gong's body very much, as well as his family relationship with Yuan Gong."
"Yuan Gong is young, but don't toss his body."
"At that time, it is a pity that God is jealous of talents."
"And Wu Hou will often blame himself and feel ashamed of Mrs. Yuan."
"Dead !!" Yuan Shao picked up the teacup on the desk and smashed it heavily in front of Jiang Wan, and then pulled out the saber on his waist and rushed towards Jiang Wan!
Seeing this, Xun Chen hurriedly raised his head, and was about to rush over to stop it.
Although Jiang Wan's words are really ugly.
However, if he killed this Jiangdong envoy because of these words, he would only make the world count Yuan Gong as narrow-minded and too small-minded.
Not to mention, since ancient times, the two armies have been at war, and they will not be killed.
After the Duke of Yuan, as the fourth and third dukes, he should follow these basic etiquettes.
But before he could rush over, Yuan Shao's footsteps suddenly froze in place.
The next moment, he directly spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
The sword trembled and pointed at Jiang Wan, Yuan Shao's eyes were full of bloodshots, his mouth trembled slightly, and he said vaguely: "Lu, Lu Yi, little, child, bully me too much, too -"
Before Yuan Shao's words were finished, his eyes were black, and he fell straight down.
Jiang Wan hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Yuan Shao, and sighed: "Yuan Gong, Wu Hou asked you to take care of your body, you-"
Xun Chen stepped forward quickly and took Yuan Shao from Jiang Wan's arms.
Looking at Jiang Wan's sad expression, the anger on Xun Chen's face was also a little irrepressible, and he said excitedly: "Tell your family Wu Hou that the two armies are at war, and it is useless to play these little tricks!" β
"The day when Yuan Gong recovers, it will be the time when the horse steps on the east of the river!"
"Please!"
The generals and strategists also looked at Jiang Wan angrily, eager to chop Jiang Wan into meat on the spot.
Xun Chen roared outside: "Quickly invite the medical staff to come over!" β
Jiang Wan exited the hall and left Xu Du.
Xin Ping burst into tears, looked at Xun Chen and said, "How should this be?" Ming Gong is fainting now, so how should we fight the enemy? Do you stick to the city and live and die with the city, or do you withdraw from here and return to Hebei? β
All the generals and strategists looked at Xun Chen in unison.
Xun Chen's gaze swept over everyone.
In the past, everyone was excited and high-spirited.
Now, the generals have dim eyes and fearful faces.
The strategists were all dazed.
How else can this be fought?
Looking down at Yuan Shao, who had fainted in his arms, Xun Chen also choked up and said, "How can you fight?" β
"Now the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have not yet gathered, they have been surrounded by Jiangdong, and if they continue, only the city will be broken and people will die."
"Although I lost in Hebei this time, the foundation is still there, and the officials are still there."
"Withdraw from Xudu first."
"Chun Yuqiong!"
Chun Yuqiong responded and walked out quickly.
Xun Chen looked at Chun Yuqiong and said, "Now immediately rectify the soldiers and horses and withdraw from Xudu." After you bring 20,000 bow infantry, after we retreat to Yecheng, you lead the army to camp in Guandu, and slowly retreat to prevent Jiangdong from chasing the army. β
"The eldest prince and the second prince are still leading the army in Puyang against the army of Xuzhou and Xiaopei."
"You contact them and get them to switch to defense."
"Tell the two sons that although Xu Du has lost now, he has not hurt the fundamentals, guard against arrogance and rashness, and try to go south again in the future."
Chun Yuqiong hugged his fists and said, "Oh! β
After saying that, he strode away.
The medical worker also trotted in from outside at this time and checked Yuan Shao's injuries.
Everyone looked nervously at the medical worker.
The medical worker looked at Xun Chen and said: "Don't worry, the lord is just angry and hurts his spleen and stomach, and he only needs some time to recuperate, and he can recover." β
Xun Chen and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the others, Xun Chen said, "Let's all prepare immediately and withdraw from Xu Du." β
After that, Xun Chen recruited a strong guard from outside the hall and carried Yuan Shao to the chariot.
Xun Chen and the medical workers also followed in the chariot.
Everyone followed the chariot and slowly retreated from the north gate of Xudu City.
The soldiers on the city wall also slowly retreated.
Jiang Wan came out of the south gate of Xudu City.
Seeing the movement on the city wall, Jiang Wan laughed proudly.
In this world, Jiangdong has already occupied most of it!
At this time, Lu Yi was discussing every step of the siege tonight with Chen Gong, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Chen Wu, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals in the tent.
Liu Bei and Wei Jing stood aside, quietly watching this scene.
Liu Bei looked at Lu Yi's appearance of scolding Fang Xuan, and his thoughts returned to the scene where the two met for the first time.
There was a touch of sourness and loneliness on his face.
In the past, Sima of the Lujiang Division, who knew nothing about military affairs, was already a towering tree that he looked up to.
A soldier's voice sounded outside: "Report, there is movement in the direction of Xudu!" β
Lu Yi and the generals looked outside the tent and said, "Come in!" β
The soldier walked in quickly, saluted Lu Yi and said, "The defenders on the city wall of Xudu are rapidly withdrawing!" β
Lu Yi: "."
Did Jiang Wan's persuasion succeed?
Lu Yi took the generals to leave the tent and rushed outside.
Lu Yi and Chen Gong both took out a monocular from their sleeves and looked at the city wall of Xudu.
Chen Gong said excitedly: "It seems to be true!" They've really withdrawn! β
Lu Yi turned to Tai Shi Ci and said, "Ziyi, immediately let the siege vehicle pass, crash open the city gate, enter the city to check, and confirm whether it is a plan to lure the enemy or really evacuate?" β
Tai Shi Ci answered loudly and rushed to the barracks in the rear.
After a while, hundreds of soldiers carried ladders and surrounded siege vehicles to the south gate of Xudu City.
As the soldiers set up the ladder on the moat, the siege vehicle slowly crossed the moat.
In the barracks, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the city gate.
The siege engine went straight to the south gate of the city.
With hundreds of soldiers saying "hey" in unison, the siege vehicle slammed into the city gate.
A dull crashing sound echoed throughout the sky above Xudu.
In the city of Xudu, hundreds of people hid in their homes, tied the wooden door, and listened to the sound of the impact in horror.
At the sound of the crash, the gates were slammed open.
Hundreds of soldiers roared and rushed in.
Jiang Wan also stopped and looked into the city gate expectantly.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed all the way into the city for a long time before someone ran up to the city wall, pulled out the "Yuan" flag planted on the city wall, and threw it down.
Outside the city of Xudu, in the camp of the Jiangdong army, the roar of excitement instantly soared into the sky!
Huang Zhong crossed his hands on his hips and laughed insolently.
Lu Yi couldn't help but smile.
Without spending a single soldier, he took Xudu!
Koto has survived this most dangerous period!
Lu Yi walked towards Xu Du first, and said, "Soldiers, follow the lonely into the city!" β
The entire Jiangdong camp roared excitedly again.
Chen Gong motioned to Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and other generals to follow, and at the same time rushed to the barracks and arranged for the generals to be stationed in the barracks.
Ten miles north of the city of Xudu.
Yuan Shao's army slowly retreated towards the north with the chariot in his arms.
In the chariot, Yuan Shao, who fainted, woke up quietly.
Listening to a deafening roar in the distance, Yuan Shao looked at Xun Chen beside him, and said weakly: "Youruo, what kind of sound is this?" Where are we going? β
Youruo, Xun Chen's word.
Xun Chen endured his grief and lied to comfort Yuan Shao: "Duke Ming, this should be the siege of our army against Jiangdong. Ming Gong, let's retreat to Yecheng first. When Ming Gong recovers, we will reorganize the men and horses and fight again. Leave the rest to the soldiers! β
