Chapter 1873 There is no question of loyalty and righteousness in the heart of the human heart
Fei Qian left, but Cao Cao still needed to clean up the mess left behind. It was like a couple had a fight, smashed the utensils at home, and then one of them walked away, but for the family's contribution
The more reluctant ones are to stay silently to clean up the mess.
Damaged young crops need to be replanted in time, and those that can be salvaged must be restored. At this time, affairs around Yuzhou are more important, while matters in Jizhou are inevitably a little less relaxed.
Yecheng is also in a mess, and the situation is more serious than Yuzhou.
Cao Jun has been besieging Ye City for some time. Cao Jun not only built sentries in all directions, but also set up beacons, built fences and trenches, and surrounded Ye City like an iron barrel...
Of course, even the iron barrel is just an iron barrel from the Han Dynasty. There are still some differences between ancient iron and later generations of iron. This is like why many people think that crossbow arrows can penetrate iron armor in the Han Dynasty but cannot be penetrated by iron armor in later generations.
Fan aside, after all, things like atoms have different decompositions and different functions. Although it is not as different as graphite and diamond, it is still far behind the mature metallurgical technology of iron that was thousands of years ago.
Therefore, there is still a chance to break through...
This is not the first time that Feng Ji has admonished Yuan Shang about breaking out of the siege. Last time, Feng Ji said that he could take people out and contact the surrounding areas so that Yecheng would not become an isolated city. Later, Feng Ji said that he could cooperate with the Hussar
The generals and soldiers were contacted, and this time, there was only one way left...
"Lord! If we don't break out of the encirclement, we will all be in trouble!"
Yuan Shang hesitated habitually and huddled his palms in his sleeves, "This... Zhengnan also said that Ye City is worry-free and can still be defended..."
Feng Ji whispered: "My lord... look at Ye City today... is it still as glorious as it used to be?" Since the entire Ye City has been besieged for a long time, the situation in the city has become worse and worse. Not only is it impossible to obtain the needed goods,
In addition, excrement cannot be discharged either. Although there are special uses such as "gold juice", how much storage is also a problem. Yuan Shang, who used to be dressed in bright clothes and angry with horses, is now unkempt. Feng Ji just said that Ye City has not returned to its old outlook.
, it has somewhat saved some face for Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang was a little moved, but still a little hesitant. After all, not everyone can have the full determination to leave. It can be said that Yuan Shang grew up in Yecheng, so he naturally has deeper feelings for Yecheng. At the same time, everything about Yecheng
Yuan Shang is familiar with it. If he leaves Yecheng, he will feel a sense of fear for the future.
"It's said that it's hard to sing alone, and the same is true in Yecheng..." Feng Ji took a step closer and whispered, "If the lord doesn't make a decision early... I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it... Now there is still more or less one in the city."
We have the strength to fight, and General Wen can command the three armies. In addition, Cao’s army is a little slack, which is the perfect opportunity to break out! My lord, it’s time to break up!”
Regarding the matter of breaking out, there were actually differences at the beginning, but at that time, such differences could still be suppressed to some extent, but now, this difference has become more and more obvious, and has become a conflict between Feng Ji and Shen Pei again.
The focus of conflict.
Feng Ji advocated breaking out of the encirclement and heading toward the Party area on Taihang Mountain. As long as they entered the mountain, Cao Jun would generally stop pursuing them. Then they would only have to climb over the mountain path and reach the area where the hussars were, which was considered safe.
However, Shen Pei disagreed, saying that Yecheng could still be defended. If Yuan Shang just gave up on Yecheng, it would mean that the Yuan family would no longer have any hope of making a comeback...
On the one hand, Yuan Shang was afraid, and on the other hand, he also felt that doing so would be a disservice to his father, Yuan Shao, who died. Therefore, at the beginning, he was more inclined to support the trial match. However, Feng Ji's proposal was shelved again and again, until now it was rejected by Feng Ji.
Ji brought it up again.
Of course, Shenpei's desire to stay in Yecheng was not entirely what he stated verbally. It was all for the sake of the Yuan family's foundation. More importantly, Shenpei was from Jizhou...
But Fengji is not.
Feng Ji is from Nanyang.
In fact, regardless of whether it was Shen Pei or Feng Ji, or even Guo Tu, who had never expressed his position, he generally knew that the Yuan family was finished. The reason for struggling to support it was, on the one hand, the mainstream moral system of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand.
There is also no good successor. Whether it is the Han Dynasty or later generations, naked resignation requires a certain amount of courage.
In any case, Fengji still can't do anything about a seller's quest for glory, so if Fengji abandons Yuan Shang to lick Cao Cao now, he feels uncomfortable. Therefore, in comparison, Piao, who has a relatively low hatred value,
Cavalry General Fei Qian is undoubtedly a better candidate.
"Some... I have to think about it again..." Yuan Shang still hid his hands in his sleeves and kneaded them into balls.
Feng Ji frowned, let out a long sigh, and then could only urge, "My lord, it’s time to make a quick decision! Don’t miss another good opportunity!" After taking two steps back, Feng Ji looked back again, as if he wanted to say something else.
But when he caught sight of the judge's figure in the distance, he retreated in frustration.
Shen Pei returned from patrolling the city, walked up to Yuan Shang, saw Li, and then turned his head slightly to look in the direction Feng Ji left, "Dare I ask my lord... Just now Feng Yuantu was wagging his lips and wagging his tongue, making false promises to break out of the encirclement."
Things?"
Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment, then nodded involuntarily.
The lines on the judge's orders are deep, like ravines. "This person is timid and afraid of fighting. He deceives the crowd with his monstrous words and shakes the morale of the army. He must be killed according to the law!"
Yuan Shang's eyes widened, wondering why Shen Pei suddenly became so angry.
Sometimes, pressure is like inflating a balloon. If you continue to be unable to vent it, one day it will suddenly burst because of a tiny needle. The same is true for trial matchmaking. The continuous pressure has made him exhausted.
, Feng Ji once again proposed to break out, which was like rejecting Shen Pei's efforts all along. How could Shen Pei endure it?
However, Yuan Shang, who had no decisiveness, hesitated again. Even though the trial match emphasized the dangers of being disciplined, Yuan Shang still said "think about it" again, leaving the trial partner helpless to retreat. However, the trial match was on the spot.
The rumor that Feng Ji was killed caused a stir in Yecheng, which was already extremely nervous...
"Brother Gongze! This matter is urgent!" After nightfall, Feng Ji, who had heard the news, found Guo Tu and said anxiously, "The old thief in the trial match wants to harm you and me!"
Guo Tu stretched out a hand, shook his sleeve, and said: "Yuan Tu, please be patient. I'm afraid there may be many misunderstandings about this matter..." The judge was probably speaking angrily, but there is no guarantee that the judge had actually moved.
The thought of killing Fengji had nothing to do with Guo Tu himself, so he was somewhat indifferent.
Most of other people's affairs are just stories.
Feng Ji also understood this, so he quickly said: "Brother Gongze, have you forgotten the words of the old thieves in the past when it comes to judging marriages? If someone falls under his sword, can brother Gongze be the only one to be kind?"
Shen Pei's violent temper actually led to a disagreement with Guo Tu. At that time, Shen Pei openly declared, "Guo Tu, the evil minister, is trying to make a fool of himself, flattering people with flattering words, and having promiscuous relationships with each other."
The behavior of matching the name was the same, almost pointing at the nose and swearing. When Ji mentioned this, Guo Tu's face naturally looked a little bad.
Among the entire political group of Yuan Shao, Guo Tu is actually a generalist with many talents. When Guo Tu first appeared on the scene, he was just a planner, and what is interesting is that Guo Tu and Xun Yu calculated
Born in the same family.
"Nanyang Yinxiu was appointed as the prefect of Yingchuan, and his duty was to promote the virtuous and the handsome. He promoted Zhang Zhong and Fangzheng with his five sense organs, Cao Zhongyao who inspected the merits, Xun Yu who was in charge of the record, Zhang Li who was the chief recorder, Du You who was the thief, Xun You who was filial and honest, and he was the planner.
Guo Tu was an official, and he led the Guang Dynasty to the dynasty. Yin Xiu was an official at least in the government."
In other words, during the period when Nanyang Yinxiu was the prefect of Yingchuan, Yinxiu promoted many people, including Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Guo Tu, etc., who could be promoted at the same time as this group of people, Guo
Tu was somewhat competent in administration, which is also a relatively strong proof. Later, Guo Tu participated in many important events of Yuan Shao, basically whether it was the activities of defrauding Han Fu in Jizhou, or the subsequent attacks on Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao.
Guo Tu was involved in every military operation. To a certain extent, Guo Tu was actually not that bad.
Guo Tu's biggest problem is not in strategy, but in nature. Most of the time, Guo Tu first considers himself and then the overall interests. Just like later generations often encounter some people who will
He eloquently said that while others in the collective gain benefits, they cannot harm personal interests, and then he forgets why he himself becomes the opposite of others in the collective?
So when Shen Pei said he wanted to kill Feng Ji, it didn't hurt Guo Tu. However, if there was a possibility that Shen Pei was jealous and took the opportunity to kill Feng Ji, then that wouldn't work.
Guo Tu frowned, pinched his beard, and wondered, saying that Shen Pei is dedicated to serving the public, that is not necessarily the case. If Shen Pei uses a false name, and then really takes action, he can't bear it...
"What do you think?" Guo Tu looked at Feng Ji and asked.
Fengji leaned closer to Guo Tu and started talking in a low voice. The light and shadow were like beans shaking, making the shadows of the two people look like humans for a while, and then became like ghosts for a while...
The next day, as dusk approached, huge chaos broke out in Ye City. Feng Ji and Guo Tu kidnapped Yuan Shang. At the same time, in the name of Yuan Shang, Wen Chou was asked to command the remaining troops of the Yuan family, and Shenpei and other Jizhou soldiers.
There was a head-on conflict between the soldiers. Before Shenpei could fully react, he opened the gate of Yecheng and headed straight towards Taihang!
Cao Ren, who was in charge of the siege outside the city, came after hearing the news. After observing for a while, he immediately launched an attack on Ye City, but did not go all out to chase down the Yuan Army troops who broke through the siege. Because it is very simple, Ye City is of greater significance to Cao Cao.
As for whether to kill Yuan Jun who broke through the encirclement, that is a next level goal.
Shen Pei had no choice but to fight with Cao Ren, but due to Yuan Shang's breakout, morale collapsed. Even the Jizhou soldiers who stayed behind in Yecheng lost the courage to continue fighting. In the end, Cao Ren attacked
Entered Yecheng and captured Shen Pei...
On the other hand, Yuan Shang and others, with the old private soldiers of the Yuan family left behind by Yuan Shao, broke through Cao Jun's defense line under Wen Chou's crazy killings, and gradually entered the mountainous area. Although Cao Ren subsequently sent out
The pursuers were ambushed and defeated by Wen Chou. After that, they gave up the pursuit and began to focus on dealing with the final matters in Yecheng and surrounding areas, creating a complete ending for Cao Cao's attack on Jizhou.
Speaking of which, Yuan Shang was a little confused. Even after he broke out of the siege of Yecheng, he still felt as if he was still in a dream. He broke out of the siege so easily? Wouldn't it have been better if he had broken out earlier?
But in fact, Yuan Shang did not realize that this breakout was tantamount to Feng Ji and Guo Tu teaming up to sell the Shen ration...
If Shen Pei had not become the biggest bait to attract Cao Ren, Yuan Shang's breakout would not have been so smooth. As for Shen Pei and the Jizhou people who were still in the city, Feng Ji and Guo Tu could only express their apologies.
For Pei and the Jizhou people in Yecheng, preserving the interests of Jizhou is the first priority, so Shenpei and other Jizhou people cannot abandon Yecheng. For Guo Tu and Fengji, who are not from Jizhou, in fact, at the beginning
The position is somewhat different from that of the review team. Under pressure, irreparable differences eventually emerged, which became inevitable.
After getting rid of Cao Jun's pursuers, they gradually walked into the mountains. Feng Ji and Guo Tu looked at the map, identified the direction, and breathed a sigh of relief. For the two of them, assisting Yuan Shang was also a second-tier goal.
, and more importantly, how to sell Yuan Shang at a good price...
Of course, the act of making an offer had already been sent out to Zhen, but he had not yet waited for General Hussars' response.
Just when Feng Ji and Guo Tu thought everything was under control, a sudden change caught them off guard!
After Wen Chou repelled Cao Jun's pursuing troops, he expressed in the early morning of the next day that he was unwilling to continue moving forward.
"General Wen!" Guo Tu asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean? Do you want to betray the lord?"
Wen Chou was not wearing armor, and was wrapped in some blood-stained bandages. Obviously, the previous battle was not easy. He just held a sword in his hand, and seemed to be playing with it. Under Guo Tu's questioning, he was not nervous at all.
On the contrary, he looked a little relaxed, smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Everything I should do... has been done..."
"What's over?" Guo Tu couldn't understand, "The Lord still needs General Wen to protect him!"
Wen Chou twisted his neck, then looked up at the sky, and after a while he said: "My lord... a certain lord, there is only one person in this life..."
Guo Tu's face immediately looked bad, and Feng Ji next to him also frowned. What he said was simply too unpleasant to hear.
"My lord has entrusted the safety of a certain third young master..." Wen Chou still looked at the sky, "Now that the third young master is out of danger... I have fulfilled my responsibilities... Are you going here to surrender to the hussar?"
Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Shang quickly, and then said with a straight face: "How can you say "vote"? I have no choice but to send it to you temporarily for follow-up..."
Wen Chou laughed, then shook his head and said: "Send it for now... Hahaha... Qiusi killed a certain brother, and he has an sworn hatred... How can I surrender to him?! If you want to go, just go! Forgive me.
You can’t follow this!』
"Bold!" Fengji couldn't help but pointed his halberd at Wen Chou and shouted loudly, "You have eaten the Yuan family's salary and retreated in the face of danger. This is unjust! Disobeying the order is disloyal! Abandoning the master is such a disloyalty."
This is disloyal! General Wen! Don’t make the mistake!』
Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the mountains, causing many flying birds to circle around, "Hahahahaha... Wen was an upright person in his life. He never thought that he would end up with a name of unrighteousness, unbelief, and disloyalty."
!Ha ha ha ha……"
"Ah, this..." Yuan Shang stepped forward, trying to smooth things over, "Why don't we discuss this matter later? How about setting off first?"
Wen Chou raised his hand, pointed at the collapse of the mountain not far away, and said, "Does the Third Master know this place? This is where Brother Yan died!"
"Soldiers can fight without getting hurt?" Guo Tu took a look and said immediately, "A man should be able to stretch and bend in troubled times...Why should General Wen care..."
Wen Chou glared at Guo Tu for a while before shaking his head dumbly: "That's very well said... It's a pity that I am just a rough man, a martial artist, not a real man... I just want to be with Brother Yan all the time..."
Feng Ji was a little impatient. Although he had entered the mountains, he was not sure whether Cao Jun would send a second batch of pursuers. On the other hand, he didn't know how long this mountain road would take. How could he keep delaying like this?
After going down, he pointed at Wen Chou and shouted: "General Wen is suffering from hysteria! Come here! Take General Wen first!"
Wen Chou pulled out his sword and shouted: "Who dares to do it!"
Guo Tu quickly protected Yuan Shang and retreated. Then, after the guards protected both himself and Yuan Shang, he shouted and asked: "Wen Chou! Do you want to assassinate the lord?! If you don't put down the knife, you will be captured!"
The surrounding soldiers hesitated, not knowing what to do.
"That's it! That's all..." Wen Chou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Yan! I originally wanted to build a tomb for my brother here, but... forget it! So I used the sky as a cover and the earth as a coffin. There is no place in the world that is not a place to hold the bones!"
Brother Yan! Someone is here to find you!" After saying this, he put the sword on his neck with his backhand and killed himself.
Birds were flying around in the forest, and there seemed to be crows chirping sadly...
