Yuzhang County is mountainous and the city's terrain is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Therefore, Wang Mu does not have to worry about the city being breached for the time being, but the food and grass in the city will not last long.
"It's a pity that the Sky-Peeping Realm can only detect a person's luck, but not where his heart is.
This time it was the old man Cao Cheng who leaked the news, otherwise he could go all the way back to Qingzhou and use the power of the four southern states to add the national jade seal to gain a glimpse of the power of the heavenly realm, and he would naturally be able to sweep the world."
Wang Mu was very depressed at this time. Cao Chengnai was a relatively close friend of his father and he was also an official in the court.
When he entered the capital this time, with the recommendation from his father's letter, he took Cao Cheng under his command. Unexpectedly, Cao Cheng turned out to be a member of the Yuan family. After he obtained the imperial seal, he immediately found an opportunity to spread the news.
As soon as he left, the other princes who received the news gathered a hundred thousand troops and pursued him all the way, trapping him in Yuzhang County.
…
At this time, outside the city of Yuzhang County, the camps stretched for dozens of miles. The soldiers inside could not be seen at a glance, and soldiers continued to come to the camp.
At this time, Yuan Shu led tens of thousands of soldiers into the camp, and then led dozens of soldiers all the way into the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, several generals were chatting in the big tent.
"Here comes the highway!"
After greeting everyone, Yuan Shu found a chair and sat down alone.
"You should also know that the southern states and counties have always been richer than those in the north, and now that there have been years of disaster, the north is even more barren than the south.
The Wang family is sitting in Qingzhou. If they retreat, they can occupy Xuzhou to defend themselves. When they go out, they can occupy Jizhou and Jizhou. They can occupy the south and look north. They are really the best princes in the world. If the Wang family is not greatly damaged this time, I am afraid that all of us here will
It is difficult for several forces to compete with it."
The people present nodded frequently at these words. This time they were chasing Wang Mu not only for the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, but even if he handed over the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, everyone would not retreat.
They only need to trap Wang Mu in Yuzhang. With his status, the Qingzhou soldiers will definitely go north to rescue them. They only need to use the geographical advantage here in Yuzhang to defeat the Qingzhou soldiers, causing them heavy damage and suppressing this rising trend.
momentum.
The rest, of course, depends on who among the forces of equal strength can have the last laugh.
"However, although we have hundreds of thousands of coalition troops here now, and more troops will continue to arrive in the future, they are leaderless and without one person to coordinate their operations, it will be difficult to give full play to our military advantage."
Yuan Shu stroked his beard and looked at the people in the tent.
Among this large tent, he is the only one with the most noble status and the most famous reputation, so only he can be the person who coordinates the whole process.
Wen Yaxuan knew what he meant, and several generals of the Yuan family immediately started shouting.
The generals from other parties also frowned frequently. There was no one with the same status as Yuan Shu here.
As for those ancestors who have cultivated in the third realm or even the fourth realm, they will naturally not appear here.
If everything has to be solved by the elders, wouldn't it make them appear too incompetent?
After some debate, Yuan Shu finally took the position of leader of the alliance.
At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report.
"Report, there are tens of thousands of defenders coming from the direction of Yujing, holding the flag with the word "Zhou"."
"Looks like it's Zhou Yu!" Yuan Shu said with a smile.
The defenders of the Twelve Passes outside Yujing, and the defenders in the north, east and west directions were all recruited by their forces. Half of the defenders in this military camp were recruited by the defenders of the Twelve Passes.
However, this is also the harvest of their years of preparation. Among the nine checkpoints in these three directions, they have already begun to continuously attract and divide them, so they can smoothly reach Yujing and divide these soldiers.
As for the soldiers at Nansan Pass, they were from the side army and had only been replaced for two years, so they were quite watertight and could not be penetrated.
Looking at this situation at this time, Zhou Yu should have felt his sincerity and came to join him.
"That's right, my Yuan family is a famous family in the world, and my grandfather is also a veteran of three dynasties, no less than Wang Yao of Qingzhou. It can be said that he is an extremely powerful backer. Coupled with my previous statements and solicitation, Zhou Yu must have felt that I
Come to me with sincerity."
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's face became more and more comfortable, and he said to everyone: "Don't worry, Zhou Yu should have come to seek refuge with me."
At this time, a loser told the glorious story of his previous release of Zhou Yu, which made everyone in the tent marvel in admiration.
"There are so many people on the road, and they will sacrifice all their wealth just to recruit talented people."
"Such a mind is really admirable."
At this moment, another soldier came to report.
"Zhou Yu led tens of thousands of soldiers towards the county city, and is now being welcomed into the city by Wang Mu."
For a moment, Yuan Shu's face suddenly darkened, and he felt that everyone in the tent was looking at him with sarcasm.
…
In Yuzhang County City, Chen Hongyu and Wang Mu stood side by side at the top of the city, looking towards the endless military camp in the distance.
"Fortunately, there are only more than 100,000 soldiers outside the county and the city cannot be completely surrounded. Otherwise, I might not be able to enter the city so easily.
But there are still few troops outside the city, so why not break through as soon as possible?"
Chen Hongyu looked at Wang Mu and saw that he was staring at the jade seal in his hand in a daze.
Hearing Chen Hongyu's question, Wang Mu just smiled and said: "Just wait a few more days!"
"After all, if too few soldiers come, then this opportunity will be wasted!" Wang Mu thought to himself, and then led Chen Hongyu to comfort the soldiers below.
After all, seeing more and more troops outside the city, the soldiers inside the city can't help but feel a little scared.
…
At night, in Yuan Shu's tent, he was getting angry.
"It's really unreasonable. When did Zhou Yu have such a close relationship with the Wang family?"
Yuan Shu was also furious. He had lost all face in the tent this afternoon.
He had previously investigated. Although Zhou Yu and Wang Mu both studied under Zhou Tong, a famous scholar in Sangyuan County, Jeju, they did not have much contact with each other on weekdays.
It was only after arriving in Qingzhou that the relationship between the two became closer.
However, not long after, Zhou Yu followed the general to the Yujing Imperial Academy. Logically speaking, the payment between Zhou Yu and Wang Mu should not be much better.
Therefore, even though he knew it would be difficult to win over Zhou Yu before, when Zhou Yu led his army closer, he thought he was coming to seek refuge with him.
After all, Wang Mu was trapped in Yuzhang County at this time, and they had hundreds of thousands of troops on their side, and more and more troops were coming.
From what he knew, the friendship between the two people should not reach the level of life-and-death friendship.
Who would have thought that Zhou Yu would do just that this week, rushing straight into the county town from the weak point of the army.
