In the plan to attack Jizhou, Yuan Shao was a very important link.
For Yuan Shao, Liu Xie thinks that he understands it very thoroughly, the ability is there, but the heart is very impetuous, the previous two defeats, so that Yuan Shao had to sink down to seek development, accumulate strength, in the past two years, Yuan Shao's performance is not outstanding, but it is also decent, if it is a strong attack on Jizhou, Liu Xie has the confidence to capture, but it takes a long time, and the loss of people's livelihood is quite large, and therefore, Liu Xie chose to attack the heart.
No matter how disappointing Yuan Shao's previous performance was, but after all, it is a banner and the backbone of Jizhou, as long as Yuan Shao loses his calm, then next, it will become possible to guide Yuan Shao's behavior.
Therefore, the secret guards lurking all over Yecheng took action under Liu Xie's orders, and a terrorist attack caused Yuan Shao to lose four beloved sons in one day, and Yuan Shao's reaction was exactly what Liu Xie wanted.
Yecheng, Guofu.
"Mr. is really clever" Guo Tu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him excitedly, and said with a smile: "That Xin Ping and Xin Bi really didn't stop it." ” "It's a matter of family interests, so they naturally don't pay attention to it, but a lot of the wealth of these traders goes into their pockets."
The middle-aged scribe shook his head and smiled.
Guo Tu also breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not only Xin Ping, Xin Bi and the like, but he was not also because of this, Guo Tu strongly opposed the reason why Yuan Shao released the vendors, the benefits of this are not small, those big traders can break the fortune and avoid disasters, Yuan Shao will return it afterwards, and he will have a benefit, as for the treasury, it will not be lost, at most it will spit out what he swallowed before.
Looking at the middle-aged scribe, Guo Tu hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr.
Dacai, after this battle, Tu will recommend it to the lord to you." ” "I'm tired."
The middle-aged scribe did not have any fluctuations on his face, just smiled and said, but he sneered in his heart, if he wants to recommend talents, at this time Yuan Shao is the time to employ people, at the right time, after this battle, is Jizhou still there Sure enough, as Guo Jia said, Guo Tu is this person, his temperament is narrow, he can't tolerate people, he hasn't made any requirements, Guo Tu has already begun to guard against himself, it's really ridiculous.
"Fortunately, the lord lost his beloved son this time because he lost his beloved son, otherwise, this matter may not be possible" Guo Tu looked at the middle-aged scribe and changed the topic with some embarrassment.
It had to be said that yesterday, when this middle-aged scribe suddenly came to the door and asked Yuan Shao to release the imprisoned traders.
At that time, Guo Tu was a little stunned, and let it go, what does this have to do with himself But immediately after, the middle-aged scribe took out a bunch of copywriting, which clearly told Guo Tu and his family that when Yuan Shao seized the merchants everywhere, they took the opportunity to fill their pockets, and even how much Guo Tu had collected, there was an approximate valuation, which even Guo Tu himself didn't figure out, and Guo Tu was in a cold sweat at that time.
Then the middle-aged scribe told Guo Tu about the fate of the dealer's release, if it was usual, just say some good things, but the money can be returned from Yuan Shao's treasury, Yuan Shao will not feel distressed at all, and at this time, if there is a matter of Guo Tu's private pockets, what will Yuan Shao think Even if he doesn't kill him, heavy bleeding is a must, not only those who were greedy for ink before have to be handed over, but they also have to pay a lot of money.
Although with Guo Tu's understanding of Yuan Shao, this matter may not be as mysterious as the middle-aged scribe said, but what if The middle-aged scribe gave him a few suggestions, Guo Tu kept it in mind, but he didn't say anything, until early this morning, he suddenly got the news that Yuan Shao's four sons folded three, which frightened Guo Tu, with his understanding of Yuan Shao, if there was no such thing, even if he knew, he would turn a blind eye to the past, but at this time, it was really uncertain, so after frustrating the letter to persuade Yuan Shao to release people, Guo Tu finally persuaded Yuan Shao not to let go, even more ruthless than the middle-aged scribe, and directly suggested that Yuan Shao kill people once and for all.
Outside the north gate of Yecheng, there was already a cry at this moment, a famous or lost soul, or painful pleading, or screaming and abusive, was pushed to the edge of the moat, the captain in charge of the execution waved the order flag with an indifferent face, rows of heads were cut off to the ground, and some heads rolled into the moat.
The knife and axe hand in charge of the execution has been numb, in the time of this day, just because of Yuan Shao's words, there are thousands of heads on the ground in Yecheng alone, in the entire territory of Jizhou, Yuan Shao's jurisdiction, there are tens of thousands of innocent traders who were killed on this day alone, and some people came to drag the corpses away, pile them together, and wait for the execution to be completed, and burn them together.
In Yecheng, the crying of the people who lost their families permeated the entire city, the soldiers who walked on the road to patrol the city were the most intuitive to feel the anger and hatred of these people, in two days, there were nearly 100 soldiers who patrolled the city on the way to disappear for no reason, and soon after they found the bodies of these people in some remote places, so that the soldiers patrolling Yecheng even had to go together.
Yuan Shao, who was immersed in the pain of losing his son, did not feel the slightest inappropriateness, or rather, at this time, Yuan Shao had no intention of knowing these things, and he asked to see him several times, but he was blocked by Yuan Shao's guards.
"Tell the lord quickly, Huang Zhong's army has entered Anping, the army led by the Son of Heaven himself, and will arrive in Yecheng in a few days, if the lord does not come out again, then this Jizhou will be finished" The judge stared at the two guards at the door, he had lost patience, if these guards continued to block, he would lead people to break in directly.
"This" looked at the unsatisfactory gaze, the two guards looked at each other, the stakes were very high, and they didn't dare to stop it as before, after hesitating for a moment, one of the guards arched his hand and said, "Sir, wait a minute." ” Looking at the guards who rushed to inform Yuan Shao, the mood of the trial could not calm down, since Yuan Shao ordered the slaughter of the traders, in Jizhou, the people were dissatisfied, Mo said that the imperial army was approaching, in just a few days, there were people in several counties who killed officials and rebelled, and even two families were directly slaughtered by the angry people.
It's good to say that the killing of officials and rebellion is good, but the slaughter of the family is a raw stirring of the sensitive nerves of the family, and it is only at this time that Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Feng Ji and others realized that something was wrong, and the trial was even more regretful, and they did not resolutely stop Yuan Shao at the beginning, resulting in a catastrophe, although those traders are not much compared with the entire people of Jizhou, but the impact is beyond everyone's imagination, and in recent days, there are people in Jizhou who continue to add fuel to the fire, ruining Yuan Shao's reputation, in fact, there is no need to corrupt, with the death of those traders, Yuan Shao's reputation among the people has only been infamy, but the promotion of these people has directly caused a mob in Jizhou.
What's even more terrifying is that Liu Xie chose to send troops in an all-round way at this time, Huang Zhong led the troops into Anping, Liu Xie personally led the army, forced Yecheng, and would arrive soon, even if Yuan Shao cheered up now, could he really block the soldiers of the imperial court The trial suddenly felt that the efforts of the past two years had become ridiculous, and the imperial court just killed Yuan Shao's three sons, so that the original more restrained Yuan Shao's nature was exposed, and a decision made Jizhou fall into an absolutely passive situation.
The internal mob is everywhere, and there is a court outside, and before this battle has started, Yuan Shao has already lost half of it, and as for the other half, the trial is not very optimistic.
"You said that the imperial court sent troops" A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Shao summoned a match, and said Sen Ran.
"Not bad."
Hearing this, the judge nodded.
"Mobilize troops and horses to prepare for battle" Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said Sen Ran.
"This" said with a wry smile: "My lord, Huang Zhong has led the army to attack Anping, and the general has already led his troops and horses to Anping to resist this morning. ” "Without Lone's order, how dare you send troops without authorization," Yuan Shao shouted.
"The lord is angry, if he doesn't meet the battle in time, I'm afraid that at this time, peace is already out of peace."
The trial said bitterly.
Yuan Shao was silent when he heard this, and after a long time, he said hoarsely: "Yecheng now, how many soldiers are still able to fight?"
"There are still 30,000 soldiers and horses to be mobilized, but we still have to divide troops to suppress the people in the city, and the actual number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized is probably only 20,000," said the judge.
In the past, Yuan Shaobing had always gone to fight Liu Xie, but this time, it seems that they have been transferred one by one, Liu Xie's soldiers are more generals, but Yuan Shao's side has few generals.
"Why suppress the people" Yuan Shao was slightly stunned and frowned.
"Just because the lord slaughtered the vendors, many of these traders' family members are angry with the lord, and it has been very fierce in the past few days, and hundreds of soldiers have been secretly killed by the people."
Judge the astringent voice.
"Why don't you investigate" Yuan Shao couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this.
"There is no way to find out, and even since yesterday, there have been deserters in the city."
The judge said: "My lord, the enemy is at present, and at the moment, I can only appease the people, not too fierce, otherwise, not only the people's grievances will not be eliminated, but the soldiers in the army will also be resentful. ” When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at the trial in a distraction, although he was still sad in his heart, but at this moment, his mind was sober, and he naturally figured out the cause and effect, patted the handrail fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Guo Tu misunderstood me" Hearing this, he was a little anxious, at this time, it was not the time to shirk his responsibility, so he bowed down and said: "My lord, at this moment, we should focus on appeasing the interior of our army, don't make concerted efforts, we can't repeat twists and turns, and we will make a decision after retreating to the imperial army." ” When Yuan Shao heard this, although he was angry in his heart, he could only suppress it, and nodded sullenly and said, "Prepare to defend the city and face the battle." ” As for fighting out of the city, Yuan Shao never thought about it, in the previous two battles, Yuan Shao occupied an absolute advantage in troops, but he was beaten by the imperial court, and now that the troops are not as good as Liu Xie, what is the difference between fighting out of the city and looking for death Hearing this, he sighed secretly, bowed down and took the order, leaving only Yuan Shao alone, sitting on the hall, looking out blankly. t1706231537:
