Historically, after the fall of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had no decent competitors in the north. Therefore, Cao Cao basically had no idea of leaving any way for Yuan Shao's three sons to survive. Even though Cao Cao finally paid homage and cried in front of Yuan Shao's grave. But
, it’s different now.
In order to annex Jizhou as soon as possible, Cao Cao could only choose Yuan Tan as a cover. Firstly, Yuan Tan was the eldest son of Yuan Shao, so his name was justified. Secondly, only Yuan Tan was more suitable.
On the one hand, Cao Cao had people block the Qishui River and let it flow into Baigou to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass. On the other hand, Cao Cao asked Xia Houyuan to take some soldiers to remove Cao's flag, pretend to be Yuan Tan's subordinates, and follow
Yuan Tan, as the vanguard, once again approached Yecheng.
Yuan Shang was shocked.
Comparatively speaking, Yuan Shang was stronger in history, because at that time, most of the Bingzhou belonged to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shang not only controlled the center of Jizhou, but also obtained some grain, grass and soldiers from the Shangdang area. His overall strength was also historically inferior.
Pretty bad.
But, it's different now.
When Yuan Shao conquered Fei Qian, some of them were lost. In addition, Taiyuan and Shangdang were now all in Fei Qian's hands. Not only could Yuan Shang not be able to obtain resources from Shangdang, he also had to allocate some troops to defend key passes.
After going back and forth, the strength was naturally much lower than in history. When I heard that Yuan Tan was coming for a second attack, I couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"Where did the soldiers come from?" Yuan Shang asked, "Could it be that they are taking advantage of the young and strong to care about the place? In this way, doesn't it mean that Qingzhou is belittled to others? It is really an unforgivable crime to ruin the foundation of the Yuan family!"
Yuan Shang was very sad. He thought that Yuan Tan had dragged out all the family wealth and brought in a wave of family members. This would naturally lead to the emptying of the entire Qingzhou's power. The result must be that Lao Cao was taken advantage of.
Feng Ji glanced at Yuan Shang and sneered in his heart. If you destroy the Yuan family's foundation, you, Yuan Laosan, don't have to laugh at Yuan Lao San. They are all existences with a radius of eight liang. But for now, they can only continue to follow Yuan Shang's path.
"If we conquer the young and strong, we will definitely end up with nothing! The yellow turban thieves are also called millions, and they cannot be overthrown overnight! If we come here this time, we can avoid their sharp edges, and when their troops are tired, we can defeat them with one blow."
, eliminate future troubles forever!”
Yuan Shang nodded, then looked at Shen Pei and asked, "What do Zhengnan think?"
Shen Pei pondered, and finally nodded, saying: "Return to the Young Master, this is a good idea..."
Yuan Shang looked at Guo Tu again, and when he saw Guo Tu nodded silently, he suddenly felt relieved and his smile reappeared: "I will follow Yuan Tu's plan! Even if there are millions of people, there is nothing to fear.
Yes! Ha, hahaha!"
Yuan Shang returned to the mansion as if he had put down a heavy burden, leaving Shen Pei, Guo Tu Fengji and the others behind, but they could not relax much. For Yuan Shang, he only thought of one aspect, but Shen Pei and others,
However, he suspected that Yuan Tan's second attack was not a simple mob.
If it is really a temporary recruitment, then why not just mix together the first time? That way, on the one hand, there will be some veterans in hand, which will also be convenient for control and supervision. On the other hand, it will also appear that there are many people and more imposing. Why bother?
Like adding fuel to the fire like now?
So if it wasn't temporary recruitment, where did it come from? Yuan Tan and Cao Cao teamed up?
Or is it the Taishan Army?
The existence of the Taishan Bandit Army was greatly weakened in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which even caused many people to have little impression of the Taishan Army and thought it was insignificant. However, in fact, the Taishan Army, as a local force, lasted until Cao Pi
period.
Because of the legacy of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Cao Cao adopted a soft policy towards the Taishan bandits from the beginning. He even gave the pastoral care of Xuzhou to Zang Ba for a time. Another Taishan bandit force, Chang Xi, was named the governor of Donghai County by Cao Cao. Such an arrangement by Cao Cao is completely
Qingzhou and Xuzhou were handed over to the Taishan bandit forces, which also led to Zang Ba and Chang Xi. Although they were nominally Cao Cao's subordinates, they were actually separatist forces with heavy troops.
When the Wei Kingdom conquered Sun Quan, Zang Ba still appeared on the battlefield. Therefore, it can be said that the Taishan Army was actually a local separatist force that existed for a very long time. However, since it basically did not go out, it has always been ignored.
Ignore its existence.
Because Yuan Tan fought in Qingzhou before, in addition to facing Cao Cao's troops, he also faced Zang Ba's Taishan Army. Therefore, if Yuan Tan brought in foreign aid, it would be either Cao Cao's army, Zang Ba's Taishan Army, or even Taishan Army.
The possibility is even higher. After all, it is an army of thieves who recognize money but not people...
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yuan Tan was careless at first, thinking that the troops he brought with him at the beginning were enough, and then lost his temper and became desperate...
Therefore, none of the three judges and the other three people knew what the situation was like.
It's just that the strategy is to win steadily, which is also a relatively safe strategy at the moment. It is indeed unwise to lead troops into battle under unknown circumstances and give up the advantage of city defense, so Shenpei and Guo Tu also
He did not explain to Yuan Shangming about the second, more complicated situation, but just to show that the appropriate strategy was feasible.
The three of them looked at each other, but they had no intention of chatting. They bowed their hands and said goodbye to each other. Shen Pei went to inspect the city defense, Feng Ji went to handle government affairs, and Guo Tu went to prepare logistics. Each of them had their own arrangements. Speaking of which,
It’s also funny. During Yuan Shao’s time, the three of them used to fight openly and secretly, and would cheat each other from time to time. But now they are cooperating perfectly, smoothly and efficiently. I don’t know if Yuan Shao will be happy or sad if he knows about this situation under Jiuquan.
.
……(╯￣Д￣)╯π__π……
Yuan Tan strikes again, and it's not just Shen Pei Guo Tu and others who are troubled...
"It's different now!" Wang Ming glared at Cai Yu fiercely, wishing he could slap him against the wall, "I told you to leave a long time ago, and you had to drag your feet. Now it's better! The city is locked down again!"
As an official in charge of farming, Wang Ming is not necessarily very expensive, but he must be clean, so after finishing the autumn harvest farming work, he basically enters his leisure time, even if he rests at home and sleeps every day,
No one dares to gossip.
After all, when the farming was busy, I was in the fields all day long. Now, when the farming is slack, I can take a rest. Isn’t it unreasonable?
Seeing that Yuan Shao's death seemed very bad, Wang Ming originally planned to run away during the slack season when no one was paying attention, but after all this time, he and Cai Yu were more or less squatting in the same trench.
Emotions, so I felt that it would be somewhat unkind if I ran away without notifying Cai Yu, so I also contacted Cai Yu.
In the end, Cai Yu agreed to find an opportunity to escape. However, on the one hand, Cai Yu may have too many things to deliver, and on the other hand, it may be that he has too many emotions to communicate with some people in the inner government who lack care.
The separation caused a delay in time. There was obviously a gap period when Yuan Tan withdrew, but he missed it.
Cai Yu laughed along with him: "Brother Wang! Brother Wang! Calm down, calm down... This, I didn't expect this... The boss of the Yuan family failed to attack last time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to attack him this time either.
We can leave again when the time comes..."
"This time is different!" Wang Ming waved his hands angrily and said, "Were there no casualties the last time we defended the city? Now there is another battle. Can you ensure that you and I are not needed to defend the city? What if we really get to the city?
Above the pool, swords and guns have no eyes!"
Cai Yu smiled and said, "Brother Wang, who would be willing to give up to a person like you... uh..." Cai Yu's expression suddenly changed a lot when he was halfway through speaking.
Yes, as an official who can increase grain production, normally he will not be allowed to take swords and guns to participate in the war, but if one's own side has no hope, then who can care so much? Who can do it at all costs, who cares?
Who should I get?
Of course, Cai Yu's risk was greater. If he had to go up to the city wall to defend the city, he would definitely be the one walking in front of Wang Ming.
"Do you think no one knows about the things you did? Someone must know, just to save face and not keep it public..." Wang Ming sneered, "When the time comes, we actually go to the battlefield. If you take less of a look, you won't be able to tell where you came from.
Where is the knife that was stabbed at me?" Although the Han Dynasty was not as perverted as Confucians in later generations about chastity, it does not mean that they did not care at all. In addition, Cai Yu did this kind of thing not once or twice a day or two.
, where are the walls that are airtight?
Cai Yu's face suddenly turned pale, "Brother Wang, save me!"
"How can I save him?" Wang Ming looked at Cai Yu bitterly, "I told you to go with me a long time ago. You have to stay with me! Now you say that I am a gentle person, how can you save me?"
Cai Yu was also speechless. The main reason was that Cai Yu had just developed a young and beautiful little widow, and had unlocked several positions. It was when the adultery was hot, and he would pull out his dick and leave.
It's okay, I didn't expect Yuan Tan to come back so soon...
Both of them were at a loss.
……(﹁﹁)(?д?.)……
"siege?"
Yuan Tan heard such a plan from Xia Houyuan.
The current army is said to be led by Yuan Tan, but in fact it is better to be said to be led by Cao Jun.
"There is a saying in the art of war that if ten people are to surround them..." Yuan Tan said hesitantly, "Now...how can we surround them?"
Xia Houyuan looked at Yuan Tan coldly and said rudely: "I came to inform you, not to discuss with you!"
Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "I know!"
The soldiers and horses under the banner of Yuan Tan arrived near Yecheng and began to carry out major construction projects outside Yecheng. Such actions naturally attracted the attention of the defenders of Yecheng, and the judges immediately knocked down the city gate.
Upstairs, frowning and looking from a distance.
The sky had just cleared up, and within sight, many people were already digging. The excavated soil was put into bags on the spot, and then stacked up layer by layer, forming a circle of short walls.
Outside Yecheng, it seemed that it had turned into a huge construction site overnight, with crowds of people and the sound of horns coming one after another. Figures were swimming in the morning light, like schools of fish in the water, busy, but somewhat orderly.
.
One or two teams of soldiers stood on high ground, seeming to be looking at the terrain. Others were commanding from the ground, loudly ordering the civilians digging the soil to move faster, as if they were not worried about what was happening in Yecheng.
It's like people and horses charging out to fight.
"This is..." After hearing the news, Yuan Shang hurried to the top of the city, looked down at the battlements, and said with some confusion, "What is this going to do?"
The judge frowned slightly, not because of Yuan Shang's stupid question. Anyway, it was not the first time that Yuan Shang encountered this kind of problem, but because Yuan Shang's body was still stained with a strong fragrance of powder and some other messy smells.
, obviously just climbed out of the tender nest...
Although it doesn’t mean that you have to hold it in for three years, you still have to put on a show in the early stages. Aren’t you afraid that the lid of your father’s coffin won’t be able to be closed by doing this?
Shen Pei sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Reporting to the young master, looking at such a posture, I want to dig a trench and besiege the city..."
"Dig a trench and besiege the city?" Yuan Shang repeated.
I have to say that the Chinese nation is still first-class in terms of its ability to repair the earth. Although the scene looks a bit chaotic, it is not actually the case. In a short time, the general prototype came out, and there were some chariots and horses dragging it.
They pulled some newly cut wood, as if they were going to build a watchtower or sentry tower, and started pounding it into the ground one after another.
There were also some people who dragged Jumalu Village to Jumalu Village and stood on the original road, tied together with iron chains. Some archers stood behind and looked towards Yecheng to be on guard.
"Why don't you send troops to attack it?!" Yuan Shang looked at the unscrupulous construction under the city and felt a little angry. It was like a holiday in later generations. He had spent the whole night holding his little girl in his arms, and then he was disturbed by the sound of electric drills being renovated early in the morning.
When I woke up, I really wanted to go upstairs and kill people with a knife.
"Master, please look..." Shen Pei pointed his hand.
It is normal to attack before the battle and test the reality. But since Yuan Shang can think of such a method, does it mean that Yuan Tan will be unprepared?
The reviewer had been patrolling the whole time, and finally discovered that there seemed to be something unusual on the west mountain side of Yecheng. There seemed to be some cold light shining among the mountain shrubs. These cold lights were naturally not the color of the original forest trees, and they must be ambushes. Once
When Yuan Shang opened the door and attacked, these troops must have rushed out to seize the city gate.
Yuan Shang stared at it for a moment and discovered this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Can't we just let it come and go as it pleases?
The judge suddenly thought of something and burst out laughing and said: "Sir, please see, how can we encircle such a man and horse? Even if we dig trenches, they are shallow, so how can we use them? This is a strategy to lure the enemy!"
I want to draw the troops out of the city, and then the soldiers and horses will gather together to seize the opportunity to seize the city! Let's see if someone breaks it!"
