Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1366 Compromise
Yecheng.

Generally speaking, winter in the Han Dynasty was relatively peaceful, because in the era dominated by agriculture, neither plowing nor harvesting was required at this time, and there were relatively few labors in winter, so most people lived in the Han Dynasty. Winter will be a bit boring, and there is a feeling of doing nothing.

I don't know from which day, an amazing news spread quickly.In a blink of an eye, it spread in this relatively large city, and every corner seemed to be known clearly, whether it was teahouses, restaurants, bookstores, shops, government offices, streets and alleys, small rooms, etc. The households are basically rumors, discussions, panic, anger, calculations, and observations...

In the remote north, several traffic arteries were closed. It is said that Gongsun Yu Nie and the Hu people were colluding with each other to invade Jizhou, and there were also generals in Jizhou colluding with the Hu people, intending to rebel.

All the news seems to have a nose and an eye, and people can't help but not believe it.

The whole city of Ye seemed to become frizzy all of a sudden, sending up flying dust all over the sky.

Ordinary people don't understand it, thinking that all the events are as clear and easy to understand as a seven-point series, and they have to curse the barbarian a few times, and by the way, scold the so-called Jizhou general who is so heartbroken and wants to have sex with the barbarian , but for the Jizhou gentry, they have more information, and they don't know what others say. Of course, those who understand the mystery are naturally a little horrified and inexplicable.

However, old monsters are still a minority after all, and most people still have no way to have the cognition of old monsters, especially those freshly released little monsters among the Jizhou gentry.

Scholars are also the origin of the old-fashioned gentry like Jizhou. Naturally, many people claim to be talents for the future of the country, and they think they are qualified to guide the country. It seems that as long as they come out to do things, the world will be peaceful and worry-free.Coupled with the fact that you can't go out in winter, and you don't have any entertainment, just when you're really bored, when there is such a sudden incident, almost everyone immediately claps the case and discusses it.

What's more, there is a sword gathering in the tile of the teahouse in the restaurant every day, and the impassionedness is extremely high. Some people have already started to join forces to write a letter to the general Yuan Shao, asking the general Yuan Shao to severely punish the collaborators and thieves. Defeating the barbarians going south, Baojing Antu is the right way.

Yuan Shao stepped forward and accepted the letter from these young gentry in a high-profile manner. On the one hand, he praised these people for their concern for the country and the people. The army defeated the Hu people who went south, and they must protect the elders of Jizhou from being harmed...

Tian Feng didn't pay much attention to it at first, because he just received a letter from Qu Yi before, but two or three days later, the situation became more and more wrong, and when he sent people to Youbei, he found that all the roads were blocked , finally went around, and then brought an amazing news!

Yan Liangwenchou accepted Qu Yi's camp and soldiers, and Qu Yi and a group of his men had already been executed!
"The general is discussing important matters, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Tian Feng's nose is almost crooked, when did the old man become a idler?Immediately picked up the newly changed cane, abruptly drove away the guards at the gate of the government office, and then walked forward proudly.

Yuan Shao was discussing something with Guo Tufengji in the lobby, when he saw Tian Feng came in angrily, exchanged glances with each other, and then said to Tian Feng: "Ah, Yuan Hao, today's body feels good Some?"

A few days ago, Tian Feng beat up the director Geng Bao in front of Yuan Shao, and forced Yuan Shao to kill the director Geng Bao. Of course, he wanted to avoid the limelight, so he closed the door for a few days on the pretext of illness, but he didn't expect to come here today. , was blocked by Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng pretended not to hear Yuan Shao's sarcasm, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, but turned a blind eye to Guo Tu and Feng Ji, and immediately said straight to the point: "Yuan Gong! General Qu He Gu!"

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the confidence to confront Yuan Shao head-on, but Tian Feng did.Because Tian Feng knew that Yuan Shao couldn't completely separate himself from him now, and because of his anger, he didn't have so many worries.

Yuan Shao smiled, and didn't pursue Tian Feng's rudeness, but he didn't answer directly. Instead, he waved his hand to signal Tian Feng to come forward, and then asked his attendants to hand Tian Feng a military briefing...

Tian Feng frowned, took a look at it inexplicably, but was startled, looked at Yuan Shao suspiciously, and then focused his attention on the military briefing again.

Although Gongsun Zan said that he had this or that problem, at least when Gongsun Zan was in Youzhou, there was no large-scale invasion of the Hu people to the south. Now that Gongsun Zan died, it seemed that this mainstay was missing, let alone defeated , Even the defense seems to have some problems. I don’t know if it is because of this reason that the Xianbei people in the north of Youzhou are ready to move, and have begun to go south, invading many counties in Youbei. Yuan Tan is organizing personnel to defend, while Ask Yuan Shao for help urgently.

After all, Youzhou and Jizhou are actually connected together. In addition, many rivers are frozen in winter, which means that if Youzhou collapses completely, then the Xianbei people are likely to go directly to Pingchuan, and directly kill them. Come to Jizhou!

"The evil thief Qu Yi, disregarding the lord's great kindness, gathered soldiers in Youbei, controlled government affairs, took credit for his pride, and was arrogant and domineering. He pretended to reject Yuan Youzhou's military orders, and even ignored the disasters suffered by the people of Youzhou. He only fulfilled his selfish desires and harmed the local area... The lord repeatedly persuaded him. , still turn a deaf ear to it!" Guo Tu said slowly, "Although Qu Yi has meritorious service, there is even more unforgivable crime. In order to save the people of Jiyou from being devastated, although the lord is reluctant to give up, state affairs are the most important thing, and forgiveness cannot be forgiven. ..."

When Tian Feng heard this, he was so angry that he almost threw the military briefing in his hand at Guo Tu's face!

However, Yuan Tan's military briefing also made it clear that the army's morale was not stable when it was stationed in Youbei, so it was taken advantage of by the Xianbei people. If the army can occupy the key points and guard the line of defense, the war in Youbei will naturally turn around. room for.If only relying on these remnants of Youbei Gongsun's defeated army to monopolize the future, not only will it not be able to resist Xianbei, it may instead encourage Xianbei's arrogance and cause Jizhou to be damaged as well.

Tian Feng took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and said, "Gong Yuan! Xianbei's southward journey is no small matter! Is this serious?" Everything has priorities, and Tian Feng doesn't just ignore everything when he gets emotional Village shrew, Qu Yi's affairs are important, but the safety of Jizhou gentry is even more important!

If Xianbei really went south, or had a falling out with Yuan Shao at this juncture...

Yuan Shao naturally knew what Tian Feng meant, so he nodded leisurely and said, "Of course it is absolutely true."

"Good!" Tian Feng paused his cane, and said: "State affairs are the most important thing, General Qu's matter... Let's not discuss it for now, the first thing to do is to retreat from Xianbei..."

Yuan Shao smiled, seduced Xuxu with his hand, and said: "That's right, a certain Zheng and Gongze, Yuan Tu discusses this matter, if Yuan Hao has time, why not come together?"

Tian Feng raised his head, looked at the sky, sighed secretly, finally nodded, and sat down beside him...

....................................

Tian Feng was not the only one who needed to compromise. Xu Shu, who was far away in Hanzhong, was also facing a compromise.

Although he was in a hurry, Xu Shu did not catch up with the fate of saving Liu Dan's failure, because the army dispatched not only had soldiers and horses, but also a lot of food and other expenses. What can start immediately, always needs some preparation time.

By the time Xu Shu arrived, Liu Dan had already withdrawn from the Bashan area, and brought back a large number of disabled soldiers. The "disabled" soldiers were mainly caused by some pests in the mountains, and in addition to hunger, their physical functions needed to be recuperated for a while. It takes time to recover, but in terms of food and grass, it has been completely exhausted.

However, due to various reasons, Liu Dan, whose food and grass were burned, had a huge deficit in this regard. If he wanted to fight in Sichuan, he would not only need to replenish soldiers, but also need to replenish a large amount of food, grass and related materials.

Xu Shu's face sank like water, looking at Liu Dan, Ma Heng and Wei Yan.

Before sending out troops, there were [-] main soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and [-] civilian husbands. When they returned, there were less than [-] main soldiers left, less than [-] auxiliary soldiers, and even worse, only a few civilian husbands left. One hundred, almost wiped out the entire army!Of course, it is also possible that these civilian husbands fled into the mountains when they were unprepared, but after all, it is an indisputable fact that the number of people has finally decreased to such an extent.

The food and grass materials were even more miserable, most of them were burned, and then the remaining part of the materials were also consumed during Wei Yan's stay, basically there was nothing left!

Wei Yan overestimated the willingness of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers to fight, and waited for three or four days, but no one came. He fed many mosquitoes and leeches in the mountains for nothing, and at the same time wiped out the only remaining food and grass.

Originally, the money and food that could support about three months turned out to be wiped out in less than a month.When seeing these statistics, at a certain moment, Xu Shu really wanted to drag all three of them out and kill them...

"Liu Shijun, after this battle, can you gain anything?" Xu Shu put down the briefing, turned to look at Liu Dan, and asked.

Xu Shu's previous identity was actually a fugitive, and he never had any family history of being in power, but after all, he had been in charge of the west for a long time, and this demeanor was naturally cultivated. Big, but it still puts a lot of pressure on Liu Dan.

"Emissary Xu," although it is said that both are envoys, but Liu Dan also knows in his heart that his envoy and Xu Shu's envoy are not on the same level at all, so he said respectfully, "The mountain road in Central Sichuan is rugged. , the mountains and forests are dense, and if you are not careful, you can easily lie in an ambush..."

Xu Shu's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly.As expected, but still a little disappointed.Nodding slightly, Xu Shu didn't make any comments, but turned to look at Ma Heng, and said, "Shuchang, tell me..."

Ma Heng cupped his hands towards Xu Shu, and said: "A certain leader arrived at the outpost of Hanchang, at Baishiling, not only the migration of personnel has been completed, but all the reeds planted have been filled in the soil... From this point of view, Brazil People here are still on guard, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to go down quickly. You can choose another season, or attack them unprepared, and it is not suitable to besiege the city..."

Xu Shu still didn't comment, and finally turned to Wei Yan, and said, "Wei Sima, you can also say something."

"Follow the order!" Wei Yan's side general was only temporarily appointed for the war, but he didn't get anything. After he came back, he naturally returned to his original position. It's not bad that he can still maintain the position of Sima. He is short in stature, flexible in movement, good at climbing and crossing mountains and mountains, but there are also disadvantages in this, if he can attract strength to fight, he will surely win."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, Xu Shu also nodded slightly, then waved his hand to let Ma Heng and Wei Yan go first, turned his gaze to Liu Dan, and remained silent for a long time.

Although it was still cold winter, Liu Dan's forehead was slightly sweaty.

"A certain person will report to General Zhengxi about this battle..." Xu Shu said slowly, "The first battle in Central Sichuan will be considered a draw..."

Liu Dan let out a breath.

"...The severe winter has arrived, the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and the food and grass are not in sufficient supply..." Xu Shu continued, "You might as well postpone the offensive and send people to Sichuan to discuss peace..."

"Negotiate peace?" Liu Dan said.

Xu Shu nodded.

Liu Dan was a little anxious. Fortunately, he came here to pretend to be a junior, didn't he just want to make himself a big boss one day, and ended up having a fight, so he had to negotiate a peace, so how can he realize his ultimate dream?

"Xu Shijun, this..." Liu Dan rolled his eyes and said, "...we are tied with the Sichuan army, and the people of Sichuan and Sichuan don't know how good we are. This matter may be at a disadvantage in this matter. Why not... ...This, I have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

"Liu Shijun, but it's okay to talk." Xu Shu stroked his beard and said.

Liu Dan said: "Wei Wenchang is quite brave, and he is also good at fighting in the mountains. This defeat is not due to the war, but because of insufficient food and grass... If we don't let Wei Wenchang lead an army alone, sneak into Sichuan to disrupt and destroy, it will show me. When the military power comes to peace talks, you can also advance and retreat..."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Yes. If that's the case, I'll ask Mr. Liu to make arrangements for this matter."

Liu Dan hurriedly cupped his hands in response, and said, "It's what it should be."

Xu Shu sent Liu Dan out with a smile, and then made a decision at the gate of the courtyard, and then Fang turned around and came back with no smile on his face.For Liu Dan's evaluation, Xu Shu gave it very low. At least Ma Heng and Wei Yan could talk about some specific problems they found and analyze some gains and losses, but Liu Dan just made excuses for his failure.

But so what?

Fei Qian, General of Zhengxi, only wanted Liu Dan's name, so to some extent, Xu Shu still had to make a compromise, as if agreeing to Liu Dan's nondescript plan.

The mountain camp is still training intensively in Shangyong, where is the real killer.
