But Yuan Shu shook his head. Since Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Shao did not dare to intercept the Han Emperor when he advanced eastward, then if the war has reached this point, whoever dares to take in Chen Wen and the Han Emperor will be in trouble.
As long as they are not stupid, they will not take risks, so what they have to prevent now is that Chen Wen takes the Han Emperor to escape to Yuzhou, which will be difficult to handle.
"My lord is still thoughtful."
Chen Gong was slightly startled when he heard Yuan Shu's words. He did take it for granted. Liu Biao and Yuan Shao did not dare to accept the Han Emperor at first. Now that their own army is approaching, who dares to stroke the tiger's beard?
"Well, then let's act according to the plan."
"promise."
Yuan Shu captured Liyang, and Ma Chao led his cavalry to bypass Shouchun and rush towards Xiacai. At the same time, the scouts went directly north to look for Yan Liang. At the same time, a fast horse galloped towards Shouchun City.
"What?
Liyang City was captured by Yuan Shu?
Where is Lu Bu?
Where did Lu Bu go?
ah."
When he heard the news brought by the scouts, Chen Wen was immediately shocked. He had clearly arranged for Lu Bu to lead an army of 50,000 to Liyang for support. Why had Yuan Shu's army arrived but Lu Bu hadn't arrived yet?
"My lord, it's very possible that Lu Bu didn't go to Liyang City at all, otherwise he wouldn't be slower than Yuan Shu."
Zhang Xun was also shocked beside him. To be honest, he had thought about Liyang being breached, but what he didn't expect was that it disappeared so easily. There was also the whereabouts of Lu Bu. Where did Lu Bu go?
"Check, tell me where Lu Bu went?
I must cut his body into thousands of pieces, order Zhou Ping to lead his troops back to Shouchun City immediately, and also order the young men of Shouchun City to enlist in the army, as well as all the servants and guardians of the major families to be on standby, ready to be dispatched at any time."
Now Chen Wen is really crazy. Lu Bu, you are a loser. I kindly gave you soldiers and horses, a station, and food and grass. You let me go, which directly led to the fall of Liyang. Don't let me catch you.
I'll definitely kill you if I catch you.
But now is no longer the time to be shocked. Liyang, as the gateway to Jiujiang County, has been captured by Yuan Shu. This means that Yuan Shu may march into Shouchun at any time, and he must be prepared to fight tooth and nail.
"promise."
Zhang Xun directly clasped his fists and ignored the information about finding Lu Bu and cutting him into pieces. However, the most important thing to do now was to mobilize Zhou Ping to lead his army back and organize the young men to join the army.
Following Chen Wen's order, Shouchun City immediately began to boil. The sparse troops and horses on the city wall were immediately replenished. At the same time, young men and women were brought to the military camp one by one. Although each family did not enlist in the army,
They are all on standby and obey Chen Wen's command at any time.
The scouts ran all the way straight into the East City,
"The spring of longevity is urgent, the spring of longevity is urgent."
While shouting at the scouts, he asked people along the way to get out of the way.
"what's the situation?"
Seeing that it was Chen Wen's scout, Zhou Ping felt like he had a nervous breakdown. Lu Bu had just left for two days, why did he send someone here again?
"Lord Zhouwei, Liyang has been defeated and Lu Bu is missing. My lord wants you to lead your army back to Shouchun immediately."
"What?"
After hearing what the scout said, Zhou Ping immediately overturned the table in front of him.
"Young Lu Bu, you have gone too far to bully others. Your Majesty treats him badly. He actually disobeyed the general's orders and put Jiujiang County in danger. I, Zhou Ping, are at odds with you."
The scout was startled when he saw Zhou Ping being so angry and stepped back.
"Why retreat? I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking Lu Bu. Come on."
Seeing the scout's appearance, Zhou Ping knew that he had just lost his composure, and frowned and shouted outside.
"grown ups."
When Zhou Ping spoke, the soldiers waiting outside clasped their fists.
"Summon Liu Qing, Zhang Ping, Li Zhi, Wang Yuan, and Ge Yu to come see me immediately."
"promise."
After a while, the five captains came to Zhou Ping together with eyes full of doubts.
"Without further ado, Lu Bu disappeared with his army, Liyang was defeated, and Yuan Shu's troops forced Shouchun. I will lead my troops back to Shouchun now."
Zhou Ping glanced at the five people in front of him and directly told the current situation.
"Li Yang was destroyed?"
"The army forced Shouchun?"
"Return troops?"
Several people were immediately confused. What happened to the world? Dantu was defeated, Liyang was defeated, why did Yuan Shu collapse wherever he went, and where was Lu Bu?
Where is Cao Cao?
All these normally awesome people are there.
"Yes, return your troops immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Zhou Ping nodded. To be honest, he didn't know what the world was like now.
"Sir, what should we do if we leave Dongcheng?"
Lieutenant Li Zhi frowned and spoke to Li Zhi. Although Yuan Shu's partial army had retreated, as long as he dared to leave, the enemy would definitely return and approach the city again.
"This is why I brought you here in a hurry. There are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Dongcheng. I want to take 40,000 soldiers and horses back to Shouchun. There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses who can stay. So who can do it for the sake of righteousness?
Stay?"
After hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhou Ping finally said what he wanted to say. If he really wanted to say this, how should he say it?
Ten thousand people were stationed in the east city to resist Yuan Shu's partial army. They were simply hanging their lives here, waiting for Yuan Shu's people to come and take them away.
The five captains looked at me and I looked at you. No one said anything. No one dared to stand up and take the blame.
"Since you don't decide for yourself, then let me take charge of this evil person."
After waiting for a while, he found that none of the five people answered. Zhou Ping couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that someone would stand up, but now it seems that he has thought too much, and this evil person still wants to do it himself.
"Li Zhi, since you brought this matter up, I will leave Dongcheng to you to guard it."
Zhou Ping's eyes glanced back and forth at several people, and finally settled on Li Zhi.
"Sir, you blame me for being too talkative. You blame me for being too talkative. But I have an elder and a younger one, so I can't stay in the East City."
Li Zhi was immediately stunned when he heard Zhou Ping's arrangement, and then slapped his mouth hard one after another. He really wanted to tear his mouth apart. Everyone else knew it, so why did he talk so much?
Speaking out, it really deserves a beating.
"Okay, Li Zhi, I will make arrangements for your wife, children, and children. If I have something to eat, they will have something to drink. You stay, and the others will prepare their troops and return to Shouchun immediately."
"promise."
The four of them dared to stay here after hearing Zhou Ping's words. After bowing with each other, they immediately left Zhou Ping's house.
"Sir, I really can't, I really can't. I don't want to die in Dongcheng."
Li Zhi went completely crazy and started crying towards Zhou Ping.
"Li Zhi, it's you who have made the decision, so you can't run away. Like I said, I will make arrangements for your family. If I have something to eat, they will have something to drink. But I have a ugly saying in front of you. If the enemy
During the siege, you can die but cannot surrender, otherwise you know the consequences for many members of your Li family."
Zhou Ping came to Li Zhi gently and whispered in his ear.
"Zhou Ping, are you trying to force me to death?"
Hearing Zhou Ping's words, Li Zhi was immediately stunned. This was really trying to force him to death.
"I don't want to force you to death, I want to force you to help me defend the East City, otherwise I'm really afraid that if I step forward, you will sacrifice the city with the back foot. Remember, the city can be lost, but people cannot retreat."
Zhou Ping ignored Li Zhi and left here directly. He threatened Li Zhi's family so that he would not worry about him not guarding the city. This was also a helpless move. He was really afraid. The big ship in Yangzhou was now riddled with holes.
If we don't use some means, these people are really unreliable.
