Luoyang has been the capital of the Han Empire since the resurgence of Guangwu. After the efforts of several generations of emperors, it has become the center of national politics, culture, and economy. However, since the battle against Dong last year, Dong Zhuo took the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials and fled.
Going to Xijing Chang'an, Luoyang City gradually declined, especially due to natural and man-made disasters such as landslides and plagues. Luoyang City, which originally had a capital of several million, now has ten rooms and nine empty houses. For those who originally won Luoyang City,
Yuan Shao came to say that Luoyang has become useless, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it!
The original Grand General's Palace has now become the Chariot and Cavalry General's Palace, which is Yuan Shao's current residence. Although the owner of the Luoyang Palace has fled to Xijing and the huge palace is empty, Yuan Shao still does not have the courage of Dong Zhuo to regard the palace as his own.
Although Yuan Shao had entered the mansion many times in his dreams, it was just a dream after all. If he wanted to make it a reality, Yuan Shao did not have the strength yet.
In the hall of the Chariot General's Mansion, Yuan Shao was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Several maids were tapping Yuan Shao's body gently. From time to time, Yuan Shao would make a comfortable moan, although now Yuan Shao also knew that Luoyang
The city could no longer support his army, but not long ago he had ordered Liu Bei, who was staying in Bohai, to transport some grain and grass to Luoyang. At the same time, he had sent counselor Guo Tu to Xindu to see Han Fu so that he could give him some grain and grass. After all, Yuan Shao was now
He is still the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces. Counting the time, it’s time for Guo Tu to come back!
At this moment, a guard from outside came in and reported: "Lord, Mr. Feng wants to see you!" "Feng Ji?" Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly opened, he sat up, stretched out his hand to wave away the maids, and said: "Please come in.
!" After the guard bowed and retreated, not long after, a young man of about thirty years old wearing plain clothes came in, bowed to Yuan Shao and said: "I have met my lord at the right time!" Yuan Shao raised his hand to signal.
Feng Ji stood up and said, "Did Yuan Tu already have news about Gongze when he came?" Feng Ji nodded and said, "Exactly!" After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms and walked forward.
After a few steps, he handed the letter to Yuan Shao, then returned to his previous position and said, "This is the letter I just received. I know that my lord is thinking about this matter, so I sent it to my lord immediately!"
Yuan Shao took the letter and took a look. The paint on the letter was intact. He nodded and opened the letter. His face suddenly changed. Feng Ji, who had been paying attention to Yuan Shao's face, took a look and sighed in his heart. Seeing Yuan Shao's face, he must have been Guo Guo.
Tu's trip to Jizhou to ask for food has failed. Although he had no hope when Guo Tu went there, now that Luoyang's food reserves are running out, he also hopes that Guo Tu can succeed and solve Luoyang's urgent need!
Sure enough, Yuan Shao threw the letter away and said angrily: "What a Han Fu, how dare you treat me like this, Yuan Shao!" Feng Ji picked up the letter and looked at it. Guo Tu not only said in the letter that Han Fu would not give him military rations, but also said that Han Fu would not give him military rations.
Even the words Han Fu privately scolded Yuan Shao were included. Although Feng Ji didn't know if these words were said by Han Fu, Feng Ji knew that Han Fu would not give Yuan Shao military rations, which meant that the two families were on the verge of a break.
, now Cao Cao has taken control of Dongjun and has a foothold, but Yuan Shao has always dreamed of the emperor's dream and is unwilling to abandon Luoyang, but now he is trapped in Luoyang.
"My lord, the time is almost up. It's time for me to go out!" Feng Ji said. Yuan Shao was stunned and said doubtfully: "Yuan Tu, our army guarding Luoyang to defend Xijing, Dong Zhuo and Bingzhou's Yang Feng are both a little embarrassed.
Not enough, how can we still have the strength to attack Jizhou now? Besides, our army is not even prepared for food, grass and ordnance supplies. This is not easy!"
Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao was still a little worried, so he said loudly: "As the leader of the alliance, my lord advocates big things, but the matter of food and crops depends on other people's faces. Now we are trapped in Luoyang. If we don't go out, let's not talk about fighting for hegemony in the future."
In the world, it is difficult to even protect your family!" When Yuan Shao heard this, his face changed drastically and he said: "It's not that I haven't thought about Yuan Tu's words, but Yuan Tu, look at Jizhou's abundant food and grass and its strong soldiers and horses. On the other hand, we are being
Dong Zhuo and Yang Feng have dragged down most of their troops, and the remaining troops are less than a thousand, which is slightly insufficient to maintain law and order in Luoyang. How can they still have the ability to fight Han Fu? Let's consider this matter in the long run!"
Feng Ji said anxiously: "Why can't my lord let go of Luoyang even now? Luoyang is useless. Why can't we concentrate all our forces so that we can have the strength to fight Han Fu?"
"Concentrate our forces? Give up Luoyang?" Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically: "If we lose the battle with Han Fu, we will lose even the foundation of Luoyang, and then we will have no foothold!"
"Lord! Han Fu is a mediocre man who has no advice. Tian Feng and other wise men do not use it. He killed one of his generals just for an unfounded rumor. Now Jizhou is in a time of panic. My lord can send
They contacted Cao Cao to pretend to attack Jizhou and asked Han Fu to divide his troops. Liu Bei set out from the Bohai Sea, and the lord led the Luoyang army from Hanoi to Jizhou and arrived at Xindu. Doesn't this Jizhou belong to the lord?" Feng Ji said.
Yuan Shao heard Feng Ji's words and thought deeply: "Yuan Tu, why is it not Liu Lin but Cao Cao? After all, Cao Cao is too weak!" "My lord, it is because Cao Cao is weak that we are willing to let Cao Cao help. If Liu Lin
Lin's words, the lord of Jizhou may not necessarily belong to the lord!" Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's face changed and he said: "What Yuan Tu said is absolutely true, but if we want to seize Jizhou, if Liu Lin comes then,
If you step in, how can I resist?"
When he saw that Yuan Shao had made up his mind, he quickly said: "This subordinate has already thought about it. As long as the lord makes up his mind to attack Jizhou, he will immediately send people to the grassland Xianbei tribe to meet Bu Dugen and form an alliance with him. Bu Dugen
I will definitely agree. With Bu Dugen's 150,000 troops in the north, how can Liu Lin dare to do anything?"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked overjoyed, nodded and said, "Yuan Tu's plan is deeply rooted in my heart!" After speaking, he glanced at Feng Ji and said, "Now our army is short of a military advisor, and Yuan Tu's talent is worthy of him."
For this task, it is better for Yuan Tu to do the hard work and help me!" Feng Ji was overjoyed when he heard that, and he quickly bowed and said, "I would like to thank my lord!"
As soon as Yuan Shao made up his mind, he quickly sent people to Dongjun to see Cao Cao. When Cao Cao agreed to send troops, Yuan Shao ordered his nephew Gao Gan to lead 10,000 vanguards to station in Hanoi and plan to capture Jizhou.
