Liu Xie's side methodically took every step of the camp, sweeping the three counties of Wei County, Qinghe, and Pingyuan, while on the Yecheng side, with the news of Yuan Shao's return from defeat, it was gloomy.
If the coalition forces are counted, this time against the imperial court, the princes of the world sent a total of 400,000 troops, and so far, it has been a rout on all fronts, and Liu Xie's actions now have obviously shown that Liu Xie is determined to clean up Jizhou this time, especially for a group of families in the three counties.
The court must not be allowed to enter This is the only thought of the Jizhou family now, especially these big families, they have no chance to compromise with the imperial court, and all they can do now is to continue to support Yuan Shao.
It's just that Yuan Shao at this time is obviously in a bad state.
When he woke up from the coma, Yuan Shao had been escorted back to Yecheng by everyone, but when the 200,000 troops went out and millions of people accompanied him, the momentum was so vast Annexation of sour jujubes, will be an alliance with the princes of the world, although the position of the leader of the alliance is Yuan Shu, but in fact, which of the princes of the world either respects him, or Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, and it is useless for him to speak, in retrospect, how high-spirited it is But it's a pity that this scenery didn't last long, in just over half a year, he, the uncrowned king of the coalition army, became a lost dog, 200,000 troops, and finally even those who fled back one after another, there was no surplus of 30,000, this blow, for Yuan Shao, can not be said to be heavy, since returning to Yecheng, Yuan Shao almost locked himself in the study all day, while knowing the glory of the past, while angrily scolding Liu Xie's insidiousness.
The fifteen counties of Wei County, except for Yecheng, Fanxian, Wu'an, Guantao, Liang and the remote six counties of Sheguo, the remaining nine cities were all obtained by Liu Xie.
Although Liu Xie did not take advantage of the victory to pursue as he feared, and continued to fight towards Yecheng, but the Qinghe River and the plains are now being swept away by Liu Xie's soldiers and horses Liu Xie, this is digging your own roots Thinking of Liu Xie's unscrupulous attack on the city now, and the Qinghe and Pingyuan families all fled north, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth with hatred, because Liu Xie not only occupied, but changed from officials to county officials, completely uprooting Yuan Shao's control in these three counties.
If these three counties are taken, then Qingzhou will be completely finished, Yuan Shao wants to recall Yuan Tan back, no matter what, it is his own son, but unfortunately, now the war in Qingzhou is stalemate, the Cui family did not hesitate to return to Qingzhou with soldiers and horses after learning that the imperial soldiers entered Qinghe, and let Yuan Tan alone command the soldiers and horses to face Tai Shici's attack.
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shao was a nest of fire, if you can drive away the army of the imperial court, then forget it, whether it is to recall Yuan Tan to give up Qingzhou, or continue to support Yuan Tan, the initiative is in his hands, but the people of the Cui family just crossed the river, they were dumplings by Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, and the 30,000 army was wiped out, and several leaders of the family were directly killed by Guan Yu.
Although he hated these generals in the court, especially Guan Yu, when he heard the news, although he had no expression on the surface, he was very comfortable in his heart.
At the moment of crisis, he didn't care about Yuan Tan's life or death, and withdrew his troops directly, no matter how he said that it was his son, but these Qinghe families ignored it, where did they put him Well done The "lord" Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others came in from outside the door, looking at Yuan Shao who was wandering in the world, several people couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, this blow was indeed too big for Yuan Shao.
"Why did you lose it" Yuan Shao raised his eyelids, his expression was a little numb, since he was defeated and retreated to Yecheng, bad news came almost every day, not only his expression, but also his spirit.
"It's not."
Tian Feng frowned, shook his head and said, "Lord, you haven't discussed anything in the past month. ” "Does Jizhou still need me" Yuan Shao leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Don't think I don't know, during this period of time, under your governance, Jizhou has not been in turmoil, and Yuan can have the assistance of your talents, which is really a blessing for three lives." ” There was nothing wrong with just listening to this, but with Yuan Shao's expression at the moment, it made the strategists feel very uncomfortable.
Tian Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the border army of Youzhou has moved without permission, the people behind the scenes have been investigated, Kirby can send envoys, Yan Lu Bu appeared outside the Saiwai, led the border army, and went deep into Hu Di several times, north of Danhan Mountain, and the Hu people did not dare to herd horses. ” "Lu Bu" Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes were sharp, and he couldn't care about the weird yin and yang: "How could he appear in Youzhou, and how could he command the border army?"
"This" Tian Feng sighed, shook his head and said: "There is no definite information yet, but I am afraid that some people in the border army have been rebelled." ” "Heh" Yuan Shao took a sharp breath of cold air, and said calmly: "Liu Xie'er is really scheming, and one Lu Bu will rebel against the border army." ” "I'm afraid it's not just Lu Bu" frustrated Zhu shook his head and frowned: "Although Lu Bu is brave and more proficient in cavalry warfare, he may be invincible against the Saiwai Hu tribe, but the goal of this border army is not only Xianbei and Wuhuan, but also led the army to attack Liaoxi, it is said that Gongsun Kang has been deceived out of the city by a young general under Lu Bu and killed, which caused chaos in Liaoxi, and at that time Lu Bu was still fighting with Kirby Nengbu outside the Saiwai. ” "Since Lu Bu can rebel against the border army, why don't you take advantage of the situation and go south, why do you want to attack Xianbei instead" Yuan Shao frowned.
"Don't forget, the army over there was reluctant to leave the border village at the beginning, why did you ask for it" I bowed down and said: "I'm afraid this is a deal between Lu Bu and the border army, Lu Bu sacked the grassland, severely damaged the vitality of the Hu people, in exchange for the loyalty of the border army, looking at the world, I am afraid that only Lu Bu can do this." ” At that time, Lu Bu relied on 8,000 iron horsemen, and asked the court to surrender to the court when Xianbei Shan Yu Kui was killed, this time, I am afraid that Lu Bu is going to repeat the old tricks, and the target is not only the Hu people, but also the Youzhou border army, if you can get the help of the Youzhou border army, the day Lu Bu goes south, I am afraid it will be the time when Youzhou falls.
Yuan Shao closed his eyes and said nothing, and only after a long time did he open his eyes, but his eyes were no longer anxious before, and he looked at everyone: "Then you came to find Lonely, what is the matter?"
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu didn't speak this time, but the judges and Xin Ping on the side stepped forward and said: "The ministers implore the lord to take advantage of the time when Lu Bu is fighting with the Hu people, send troops on their backs, occupy the key points, and block Lu Bu from the plug, in addition, Yuyang also needs to be heavily guarded to prevent the soldiers and horses of Liaoxi from killing." ” "Ha" Yuan Shao couldn't help but shake his head and smiled when he heard this: "Zhengnan, Lone also wants to send troops, but where did the soldiers come from, and the total number of troops around Yecheng is less than 50,000, even if Lone is willing to send it to suppress the border army, it may not be able to suppress it." ” If Yuan Shao is given two or three years, with Jizhou's family background, it is not a problem for Yuan Shao to train another 200,000 elite soldiers, but right now, he has just experienced a big defeat, where can he go to find soldiers and horses.
"Moreover, the soldiers of Yecheng have been sent out, how do you deal with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court" Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry" Xin Ping took a step forward and said: "At this critical time of survival, the ministers do not dare to hide their secrets, and when they come, they have discussed with the families of various counties in Jizhou, and they can raise another 100,000 people for the lord." ” "One hundred thousand" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "This is true" "Don't dare to deceive the lord, 100,000 people should be gathered within five days."
Xin Ping nodded.
Yuan Shao nodded silently when he heard this, thinking carefully about how to use these 100,000 people, Youzhou wants to save them, but the imperial army in front of him is approaching step by step, and it is necessary to guard against it, 100,000 people sounds like a lot, plus the army at hand now, it adds up to 150,000 troops, but if you really want to use troops on two fronts, it may not be enough.
"My lord."
Guo Tu smiled: "In fact, in Youzhou, there are many troops in Jizhou, scattered in various counties and counties, if these people and horses are concentrated, there are also some manpower. ” Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, but Tian Feng on the side frowned and said: "No, these county soldiers are to maintain law and order in the county, if all of them are transferred, I am afraid that people will take advantage of them."
"Yuan Hao's words are wrong" Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Youzhou has been under the rule of the lord for a long time, although it is not said that the road is not left behind, but it is also the people's will, and it is only temporarily transferred, after the suppression of the border army, it will be taken back immediately, why not now our army has not many soldiers and horses, is it possible that Yuan Hao really wants to wait until Lu Bu leads the army to the border, and watch these scattered armies in various counties be broken by each other" "Okay, herald the generals, discuss the affairs in the lobby" Yuan Shao waved his hand and coldly interrupted the quarrel between the two.
