Yuan Shu shook his head, it was not that he was cold-blooded or bloody, it was just because Shi Xie's contribution to later generations was too great. Unless this person is eliminated, the Shi family will not be destroyed, and Jiaozhou will always be difficult to pacify.
"In this case, Chen Gong would like to express his gratitude to the lord on behalf of the Shi family. Being able to keep Shi Xie's family safe will prove that his many years of service in Jiaozhou are in vain."
Hearing that Yuan Shu had left a bloodline for the Shi family, Chen Gong was speechless. This was already the best he could do.
As the saying goes, success and failure are also merits. If the contribution of the scholar family is not great enough and the prestige is not high enough, there is no need to die. Now everything is in vain.
"Well, how many days until we can reach the camp road?"
This is the only way to deal with this matter. He can leave a trace of blood in the Shi family and give Chen Gong and Shi Xie a way out. If Chen Gong is entangled in something, I might as well give him some advice.
"We'll be there in five days at most."
Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't want to mention Shi Xie's matter, Chen Gong didn't say much. Anyway, it was already like this and he had nothing to say.
"Okay, then let's go on the road with all our strength. I will arrive at Yingdao City within five days."
"Follow orders."
Yuan Shu's army was speeding south, and Guangxin's 30,000 troops were crossing mountains and ridges to reinforce Fuchuan. However, Tian Feng remained stationary at Xie Mu, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
As time passed day by day, Shisong rushed to Fuchuan with his 30,000 troops first, and Yuan Shu's army also rushed to Yingdao City.
"My lord, the military advisor has asked me to wait again. The food and fodder needed for the troops and horses have been prepared, and a banquet has also been arranged in the city."
The general who defended the city knelt down on one knee and reported the situation to Yuan Shu.
"Let's skip the banquet. The army will not enter the city. We will take out the food and grass. After a short rest, the army will go south to Xie Mu. I guess Yuan Hao is a little impatient waiting for us."
Yuan Shu shook his head. He just wanted to win Jiaozhou as soon as possible. It had been too long since the beginning of this expedition. His child seemed to be born, and he didn't want to delay it.
"promise."
After hearing this, the guard immediately clasped his fists, and then arranged for the soldiers to start cooking and help Yuan Shu's soldiers supply supplies.
After a short rest, Yuan Shu's army headed south again, rushing towards Xie Mu.
After several days of marching, Yuan Shu's army finally arrived at Xie Mu and met with Tian Feng in the city.
On this trip, Yuan Shu brought the Guards, Xuzhou Army, Xuanwei Army and the 30,000 militia regiment that followed from Jiangling, with a total strength of 90,000. Coupled with the 100,000 troops in Tianfeng City, the total strength was already 190,000.
Although they did not form an overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity against Fuchuan City's 150,000 troops, their quality was not comparable to those of the new recruits.
"Yuan Hao, Gongtai, now that all the troops have arrived, how do you want to fight this battle?"
Yuan Shu looked at Tian Feng and Chen Gong and directly asked them how they planned to fight next.
"The army has arrived, and as long as we use a majestic division to overwhelm it, Fuchuan will not be able to make a difference."
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu. Since he had asked a question, there was nothing to hide. Once the army arrived, as long as Fuchuan was defeated, the enemy would have no chance to make a comeback.
"There must be a way to attack. I see that Yingyang's army is short of 20,000 people. Do you have any plans?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng. The current battle of Jiaozhou was arranged by Tian Feng, and Yingyang's army also lacked 20,000 men, so he guessed that Tian Feng must have other ideas.
"My lord has discovered this. I do have some arrangements."
Hearing Yuan Shu ask about the disappearing 20,000 Yingyang Army, Tian Feng also smiled slightly. Sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from his lord.
"oh?
Let’s talk about it.”
Sure enough, the people under his command did not have simple roles. As soon as he entered the city, he realized that the formation of Ying Yang's army was wrong, so he directly asked him.
"This is all arranged by Zilong. The 20,000 Yingyang Army quietly went south more than ten days ago, and then divided the troops to hide in Wushan and Xieshan.
When the Battle of Fuchuan begins, Liu Wei sends troops to Guangxin. When the soldiers of Fuchuan hear that Guangxin is besieged, they will definitely divide their troops and go south. Zhang Lin, who is ambushing in Xieshan, will intercept them halfway. In this case, they will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop."
Tian Feng directly stated his arrangement, dividing his troops and ambushing him. After all this, no one could resist him.
"Well, this arrangement is quite neat, but now that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses have been defeated, Fuchuan's soldiers and horses may not be mobilized so easily."
Chen Gong glanced at Tian Feng. If it were the original situation, Fuchuan might still divide its troops, but now Lu Bu doesn't have many troops. Now that Guangxin has been robbed, Lu Bu can easily mobilize his people?
How much can be mobilized?
"It's okay. As long as they mobilize troops, we will eat them. If they don't mobilize troops, it will also let the Fuchuan defenders know that their hometown is besieged and make them unwilling to fight. In this case, we will never suffer a loss."
Tian Feng also knew that the situation had changed, but originally this was just a casual move. If it succeeded, it would be considered a profit. Even if it failed, it would disturb the morale of the soldiers in Fuchuan, which was better than nothing.
"Well, if you put it that way, it's not bad. This free chess trick will always be useful. In this case, there is nothing more to say. The army will rest for a day and go south tomorrow to prepare to attack Fuchuan."
Now that everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, and everything that needs to be said has been said, the next step is to see how much the Fuchuan defenders have.
"promise."
After resting for a day, the army marched toward Bucheon without stopping.
"Report, Yuan Shu's army came out from Xie Mu, with 200,000 troops, and headed towards Fuchuan."
Yuan Shu's army could not hide the advance of Lu Bu's spy, and he did not want to hide it from Lu Bu's spy.
"What should we do with the two hundred thousand troops?"
When he heard that Yuan Shu was marching towards Fuchuan with an army of 200,000 men, Shi Yi immediately panicked. Although he had a high position and great authority, he had never been on the battlefield. It was strange that he was not afraid when he heard that so many troops were coming.
"Don't panic, don't panic. Yuan Shu said there were 200,000 people, but in fact it was only a few hundred thousand at most. But we now have an army of 150,000 in Fuchuan, and hundreds of thousands of people are guarding the walls. I still don't believe it.
, he can take down the city wall."
Seeing Shi Yi's panic, Lu Bu frowned slightly. Being timid before fighting is a taboo among military strategists. If these officials panic first, can they still expect the soldiers below to fight calmly?
"Well, second brother, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here and the Jiaozhou soldiers are here, Yuan Shu can't even think of crossing Fuchuan."
Shiwu also patted Shiyi's shoulder gently, comforting him not to panic.
"I lost my composure. I will not show up during this period. I can rest assured that you are on the wall."
Shi Yi shook his head. Although they told him not to panic, his heart was still beating fast. If he went to the city wall with this attitude, not only would he not be able to help, but it might also have the opposite effect, so he still
It would be best not to appear on the city wall.
"Well, that's right. If you can't control yourself, then you should stay here and don't go out. We are on the wall and there will be no chaos."
Lu Bu glanced at Shi Yi. He was really not suitable to appear on the city wall in this state. It would be better to stay below.
"good."
Time flew by and it turned out to be seven days. Yuan Shu's army marched quickly and finally arrived at Fuchuan City. Looking at the reinforced Fuchuan City, he nodded.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of defense alone, Fuchuan City is considered to be very well done.
"This Fuchuan City is not easy to fight. The walls are high and the city is thick. The defense is very good."
Yuan Shu glanced at the people around him, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"No matter how hard the bones are, we have cracked them. Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Chen Wen, and Yuan Shao are all difficult to defeat. We have captured the little city of Fuchuan, but that's it."
Zhao Yun on the side looked at the city wall in front of him. Haven't they eaten enough bones in their lives?
I believe that the Fuchuan City in front of them cannot become a natural barrier to stop them.
"Well, let's go and meet our Lord Wen Hou and the wise man of the scholar family."
Yuan Shu glanced at Zhao Yun. What he said was right. The Jizhou army had chewed through countless tough bones. Even if Fuchuan City was tough, he would still chew this place down.
"promise."
Yuan Shu rode forward, and the two generals Dian Wei and Zhao Yun followed closely behind and arrived at the gate of Fuchuan City.
"Marquis Wen, Yuan Shu is here."
Seeing Yuan Shu coming to the bottom of the city wall, the warriors spoke directly to Lu Bu.
"Well, he probably wants to tell me something."
Lu Bu looked at Yuan Shu, who was slowly arriving, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"The dignified Lord Wen Hou actually turned his back on him?
It’s really ridiculous.”
Looking at Lu Bu on the city wall, Yuan Shu also smiled slightly.
"Haha, since you said so, it seems like I'm afraid of you if I don't go down. Open the city gate and I'm going to see Yuan Shu."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Lu Bu was also stunned. He had never been called a coward in all these years of marching, which was unbearable. Even if he died, Lu Bu didn't want to be looked down upon by Yuan Shu.
"Marquis Wen, don't fall for the enemy's aggressive tactics. There is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den under the city, so be careful."
Shiwu glanced at Lu Bu, and a difference flashed in his eyes. Even in this situation, you still want to go down to the city to meet Yuan Shu. Are you too aggressive?
"No, I have to go down to the city now. This is Yuan Shushi's conspiracy. He is now shouting under the city wall. If I don't go down, the morale of the army will inevitably plummet. If the enemy takes the opportunity to attack the city, it will be difficult for us to resist, so
I have to go down."
Lu Bu glanced at the soldiers. If he didn't go to the city now, it would prove that he was afraid of Yuan Shu. This would not only damage his own prestige, but also be detrimental to the defending army.
"But there are 200,000 troops below, and Yuan Shu also has strong generals like rain. If Marquis Wen goes down, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."
Regarding Lu Bu's remarks, the soldiers had to admit that they were very reasonable. It was not unreasonable to fight against the generals in front of the battle.
If one party raises the issue and the other party refuses to accept it, it would be cowardice, which would also have a certain impact on the war.
But now the enemies are extraordinary. They are all world-famous generals. If Lu Bu goes down, he will most likely be left behind, which will make it even more troublesome.
"I, Lu Bu, have the red rabbit horse under my crotch and Fang Tian's painted halberd in my hand. I can go anywhere in the world. Not to mention that Yuan Shu has an army of 200,000. Even if he has an army of one million, I can still come and go freely. And
The generals under his command are all defeated by me, so don’t be afraid and open the city gate."
Compared with the soldiers' worries, Lu Bu smiled slightly. He, Lu Bu, had never been afraid of anything, wasn't it just war?
Come on then.
"Okay, then Marquis Wen, please be careful."
If he didn't believe anything else, he definitely believed in Lu Bu's martial prowess. Since he wanted to go, then let's go.
