Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1622 Storm One
In Ye City, there was silence.

During the inspection of the one-on-one soldiers on the street, almost all the people closed their doors and closed their doors. There was a lot of noise, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers, for fear that the rioters would rush in without knowing when.

When there is a war, it is the people who suffer the most.

Yecheng was originally peaceful, but the sudden change of the Tathagata still made many people feel war, especially the sudden closing of the city gate, which made people feel brighter.

There was no notice from the Zhou Palace, but the closed city gates and the soldiers and horses patrolling the streets were all reasons for people's uneasiness, and they didn't even dare to check for half a minute.

In a garden.

The young man Yuan Xi knelt down on the seat, his expression was a little cold and his eyes were gloomy like water. He looked at the people under him and asked, "How could there be such a big change in such a short period of time?"

The plan was very good, as long as the soldiers from the north went south, he would be able to occupy Yecheng and make great efforts. However, before he started, Yecheng had already discovered the change.

The captains of the four gates of the four major cities were in charge of guarding the city of Ye. The captains of the two major gates in the northwest suddenly led troops into chaos, beheaded the captains of the two major gates in the southeast, recruited their soldiers and horses, and suppressed the whole city.

Even the Zhou Palace has been occupied, and all the civil and military officials of Zhou State, such as Ju Shou, are in the forefront of the army.

Yecheng changed hands overnight.

It was so fast that he had no time to react.

"Second prince, we are not very clear about the current situation. We only know that Captain Gao Lin of the West City and Captain Yuan Xin of the North City suddenly led troops to attack the two southeast gates, beheading the Captains of the East Gate and South Gate. We recruited more than [-] soldiers at the two major city gates in the southeast, and then quickly occupied the Zhou Palace. Many officials were placed under house arrest in the palace city, and more than [-] elite soldiers were deployed near the Zhou Palace, so it was difficult to pass on the news!"

A scribe cupped his hands and said, "Second Prince, you need to make a plan early. If you reveal your whereabouts, you may be in danger!"

"In Ye City, there are not many people who can turn the two of them against each other. Is it the boss?"

Yuan Xi's heart sank and he asked.

He knew Jushou's ability, and the captains of the four major city gates were the main soldiers in Yecheng who were in charge.

The sudden outbreak of such a big change must have caused Jushou to lose control. Who could make Jushou lose control over these soldiers and horses.

From his point of view, apart from himself, Yuan Tan might be the only one left. Yuan Tan has the strength in his hands. If he is in Yecheng, he might have an advantage over the others.

"It shouldn't be!"

Someone said in a low voice: "Second prince, we have found out the whereabouts of the eldest prince. Although he still has some soldiers under his command, they are not many, and he will not have absolute control. Captain Beimen listened to him, and Ju Xiang would not give anyone any chance to make trouble, and our people even found out that the eldest prince probably has no chance to enter the city yet!"

"Who is that?"

Yuan Xi stood up, paced back and forth, and his expression became a little manic. He really hated this kind of situation where he was kept in the dark and couldn't get any news.

He doesn't even know who the enemy is.

There is really some fear in my heart.

"Any news about our troops in the north?"

After a while, Yuan Xi squeezed the position of his temples, clenched his fists, and after a while of meditation, he asked in a low voice.

Since he can't figure out the enemy, he should save his own life first. No matter what, he doesn't have the protection of his own soldiers and horses, so he hopes that his soldiers and horses have already gone south.

There were six or seven people in Yuan Xi's hall, but when they heard Yuan Xi's words at this moment, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Say!"

Yuan Xi felt bad all of a sudden, and roared angrily.

"Second prince, our main force in the north has already been defeated before we entered Wei County. They were first attacked by the Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan personally led the main force, crossed the giant deer, and attacked our army. Our army was almost beaten. Then the Handan Commander led the Handan County soldiers to defeat them in the western suburbs of Handan, leaving only less than [-] remnants led by Yuan Jiu to enter Wei County, but the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and there was no way to go south!"

A scribe on the left was one of Yuan Xizhi's confidantes and counselors. He said bitterly: "I'm afraid we don't have any reinforcements!"

"Bastard!"

When Yuan Xi heard the words, he jumped up against the case and was furious in his heart.

Montenegro Army!
Why would the Montenegrin army sneak attack itself.

That's it.

Why did the Handan Order send troops to attack the main force of his remnants? The Handan Order is the Handan Order of Zhou State, not the officials of other princes?
Could it be that even the Handan Order has been...

"Han Yong, what exactly do you mean?"

A murderous intent burst out of Yuan Xi's eyes: "Is he going to betray my Great Zhou Dynasty, or is he just courting death?"

Handan Commander Han Yong is also a rare talent.

He is good at internal affairs, can also lead troops to fight, and has a lot of friends in Hebei, and he is a person with extraordinary influence.

"Han Yong was punished by the king in the past, demoted Yecheng, and served as Handan Commander. I am afraid that he is a little dissatisfied and resentful. He may have been subdued by others!" Someone said in a low voice.

"Crazy ministers and thieves!"

Yuan Xi felt a chill in his heart, there was no news about the battle of Guandu, and his father had not been defeated yet, but the hearts of Zhou Guo were already brilliant.

Han Yong used to be regarded as a pillar of the state of Zhou, otherwise he would hate his father, even if he was not given death, he would be dismissed from office, and he could go to Handan to serve as Handan Commander. .

It's a talent.

Many people know it.

He also sent people to hope to get him to surrender to his subordinates before, but there was no news, and he didn't care too much about Yecheng.

He didn't expect that he would strike back, causing his main force in the north to be almost exhausted.Han Yong alone is nothing.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Handan.

But if there is more than one Han Yong, if Han Yongneng rebels, then many magistrates and sheriffs may also rebel. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Now the tree has not fallen, and the monkeys have dispersed. hope?

"Second prince, it's useless to talk now, we must find a way to deal with it!"

A scribe in a robe reminded.

"how to respond?"

Yuan Xi asked.

"Yecheng is already a dangerous place. If we leave Yecheng, we will go north to gather our soldiers and we will have a chance to make a comeback. Otherwise, if the city notices you, we may be in trouble!"

Zhen Tong is a member of the Zhen family in Zhongshan. The Zhen family and Yuan Xi are married, and now they are considered as one body.

Zhen Tong was born as a concubine, but he was good at studying. He studied hard for ten years. Although he didn't have a bright future, but in troubled times, he rose up with one trick, and entered Yuan Shao's eyes in the name of a county master. He should have a bright future. , but later the Zhen family married Yuan Xi, and the Zhen family began to support Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi was indecisive in many things and needed someone to make decisions for him, so Zhen Tong gave up his official position and entered Yuan Xi's mansion. As a counselor, he has been serving Yuan Xi all these years, hoping that one day he can support Yuan Xi to take charge of Hebei, so that his status can rise to a new height.

"Leave now?"

Yuan Xi was not reconciled.

"Second prince, the city is very dangerous. The most important thing is that we don't know who launched the coup. If it is the eldest prince, it is understandable, but if it is not the eldest prince, then they will definitely kill us and cut off the king's blood. Only then can the country of Hebei be overthrown!"

Zhen Tong cupped his hands and said.

"Is that right?"

Yuan Xi hesitated.

He paced back and forth, but it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Second prince, I'm afraid we don't have more time to think about it. We have to prepare to leave the city first. After leaving Yecheng, we will take it back. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we will die here!"

Zhen Tong said: "I'm sure you won't be able to hide here for long. If they search forcibly, it will take half a day and they will be exposed!"

People are not so easy to hide. Although Yecheng is big, it may not be able to accommodate a person. If the person in charge of the city insists on finding people at all costs, it is not impossible to find them.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!"

Someone reminded in a low voice, "We can't do anything in the city at this time. Only by going out of the city can we have a chance. The second prince wants to achieve great things, so we must not be too indecisive!"

"Okay!" Yuan Xi thought for a while and thought that this was right. Now that the city is in chaos, he still wanted to take advantage of the chaos to build a heavenly court, but it was nothing more than whimsical.

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

outside the city.

in the military camp.

Yuan Tan is looking at the map. He leads troops to fight, and he has a better understanding of military affairs. He will personally manage the transfer of soldiers and horses, which makes him feel more at ease.

"Prince, there is a change in the city!"

"Say!"

"Yesterday, the four major gates of the city were suddenly closed, and then a fight broke out in the city. Soon we found out that it was the captains of Ximen and Beimen who led the rebellion and killed the two captains of the east gate and the south gate. , reorganized all their soldiers and horses, and now they occupy Yecheng!"

"what?"

Yuan Tan stared: "Why is this happening!"

"Prince, we don't know either!"

The subordinates and generals watched each other, and they did not expect such a thing to happen. They prepared for a long time and waited for it, but they were scored by others when they hit the goal.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

"waste!"

Naturally, Yuan Tan's temper was not very good, and at this time he was even more furious.

"Eldest Prince, we have tried our best to inquire, but they are advancing very fast, and now that the city gate is closed, their defense is even more difficult to break through!"

A lieutenant said, "If we attack the city now, we may not have any chance of winning!"

"Then shall we just sit and wait for death!"

The generals responded indifferently to the general's words.

"No, this may not be an opportunity!"

Someone picked up this topic and said: "There is turmoil in the city, if the eldest prince can fight out with a strong posture and turn the tide, then it is not impossible to become king!"

There was only one king of Zhou, but he had already left. On the battlefield of Guandu, the outcome was uncertain, and life and death were uncertain. Whoever was in charge of Ye City at this time was most likely to become the next king of Zhou.

"The plan will come out!"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed immediately, looked at the scholar, and said hastily.

"First, we need to find out what happened in the city. I hope the second prince didn't do it. If not, then we still have a chance!"

"Secondly, there are county soldiers outside the city, and the county soldiers from several counties have swarmed the turmoil this time. As long as you take them down, you will have a chance, but you must not resort to tricks. It is best to surrender without fighting! "

"Third, that's what we need to find a way to break through a city gate, otherwise we will be exhausted if we attack like this!"

"Fourth, that is to attack by surprise. Yecheng has four gates, and the outer city has more. We concentrate the main force and attack one side. With the strength of the city, we may not be able to deal with it. As long as we enter the city, hold the banner of the great prince, It will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

This scribe talks eloquently, but in fact, as long as he is a high-ranking counselor, he thinks that these so-called methods are just copying some people's ideas.

But for Yuan Tan, it was very shocking. He thought for a while and said: "Just do it like this. No matter what, I must stay in Yecheng. Chaos, how long do we have to face the father!"

At this time, there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to go back to Qingzhou. If there is no Hebei, no Yecheng, then I am afraid that he may not even have a place to hide.

"No matter what, let's find out the situation in the city first!"

Yuan Tan looked far away, he calmed down, and his mind became even colder: "With the ability of my good brother, he may not have this ability, and it is impossible to rebel under Ju Shou's nose, I conclude , there must be a third party, or even a fourth party, the praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, who is the oriole is still unknown!"

The chaos in Yecheng was caused by people's hearts, and there was another very important time, that is, they had already made preparations for Yuan Shao's defeat at Guandu.

Only Yuan Shao's defeat may be in line with their thoughts.

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

In the city, inside an inconspicuous cloth shop.

Inside the cellar.

Jia Xu sat cross-legged, under the flickering light of the oil lamp, she looked extremely gloomy, her brows were frowning.

"Have you checked it out?"

he asked in a low voice.

"Not Yuan Tan, nor Yuan Xi!" Someone answered him.

"That's Jing Wusi!"

Jia Xu asked very clearly how capable his old opponent was, and the corner of his mouth raised a gloomy light: "I am very suspicious, how could Jing Wusi control Yecheng!"

Yecheng cannot be controlled without soldiers and horses.

If you can't control Ye City, then even if you win it, it will be of no use.

"It should be Jing Wusi!"

One of his subordinates stood up, cupped his hands and reported, "I've asked Anzi to inquire about the news. Jing Wusi made a sudden move, and he took control of Yecheng. It was indeed very sudden, but it's not hopeless. I can't even think of their thoughts!"

"Tan Zong's mind is very deep. Few people can know what he is thinking. I conclude that this beast is here now!" Jia Xu said coldly.

The crowd was silent.

"What's the situation in the north, can Zhang Yan go south as agreed?" Jia Xu asked.

"It should be possible. The Black Mountain Army of Zhang Yan's Department is probably more than a hundred kilometers away from Yecheng, but once the troops approach the city, they will easily be ambushed by county soldiers outside the city!"
