Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 575 Self-destruction of the Great Wall
"waste!"

Handan, Yuan Shao's temporary residence, when the news came from the north that Karasuma was defeated and Tadun fled back to Mount Wuwan overnight, Yuan Shao couldn't help cursing. They beat and ran away overnight, which was really useless.

Everyone in the hall did not speak this time, and fell into a long silence.

Karasuma was defeated, and even Xianbei was fled north by the unknown Zhao Yun. It was a matter of time before Youzhou was taken by Lu Bu. In addition, Chu Nan occupied Yecheng, and Yuan Shao's main force was severely injured in the battle of Yecheng. , Yuan Shao can't mobilize much power now, and even if Lu Bu goes south at this moment, they can only passively defend, and have no strength to fight Lu Bu.

The battle situation seems to have changed drastically in just one month. Yuan Shao's side has changed from a slight downturn to a sharp turn, and now it is already at a disadvantage. If Chu Nan's policy was not too harsh on the gentry, I am afraid that the entire Jizhou is now a lookout And down the state.

Now Chu Nan's main force is still being dragged by the three troops of Han Qiong, Cao Ren, and Xia Houyuan, so there is no time to attack the city, but as long as these three troops are resolved, I am afraid that the next step will be the end of a large number of cities being breached.

"Master!" Ju Shou, who was looking at the map, suddenly raised his head, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Han Qiong is in trouble!"

Yuan Shao looked at Jushou, but didn't react for a while, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"

"Our army retreated to Handan, the main force was frustrated, and morale was low. For Chu Nan, it is the best time to deal with Han Qiong and the three. If Han Qiong can be defeated, Chu Nan will encircle Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan. Now that Han Qiong is in Qinghe County, fighting Gao Shun, if Chu Nan sends an elite team to cooperate with Gao Shun to attack Han Qiong in two directions, the old general Han will be in danger!" Ju Shou pointed to the map and said: "Send troops quickly to rescue Old General Han, to keep the communication between our army and Li Yang and Chao Ge!"

If Han Qiong was defeated, Chu Nan would not be able to take down Li Yang and Chaoge even in a short period of time, but for the Jizhou army, the blow would be too great.

After Yuan Shao's main force experienced the two battles of Juyongguan and Yecheng, they lost troops and lost generals. Not only were the generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan killed, but even their soldiers and horses were lost by nearly half.

On the contrary, the three troops of Han Qiong, Cao Ren, and Xia Houyuan are still relatively intact. The original partial division has now become the main force of Yuan Shao's army and Yuan Shao's last reliance. If these three troops are defeated or annexed by Chu Nan, Yuan Shao will return. No chance.

So after speculating that Han Qiong would be Chu Nan's next target, Jushou immediately wanted to rescue Han Qiong.

"But the main force of our army was severely damaged." Guo Tu, who had just returned from the northern border, frowned and glanced at Ju Shou: "How can we rescue?"

"If you can't save it, you have to save it, otherwise the morale of the army will be lost!" Ju Shou said in a deep voice: "My lord, I wish to lead an army to support Old General Han. I hope my lord will allow it!"

Right now Yuan Shao really has no generals around him, only Zhang He is left, but Zhang He must stay by Yuan Shao's side in order to keep his integrity. No military experience, no way to say, only rely on Jushou to be in command.

"Then I'll bother you to go!" Yuan Shao nodded, looked at Jushou and said.

"Yes!" Jushou immediately took the command arrow, the matter was urgent, Jushou didn't delay after taking the order, and immediately set off to Qinghe to help out.

The next day, Guo Tu came to see Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's mood was not right recently, he felt muddled, and he didn't have much energy when he saw Guo Tu. He looked at Guo Tu and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Gong?"

"My lord, on the way back, I heard some rumors. Although they were rumors, I thought something strange about them, so I came here to discuss with the lord." Guo Tu bowed.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao asked with a frown when he heard the words, "What kind of rumors are they?"

"Zhang Yun has secretly voted for Chu Nan!" Guo Tu said in a deep voice.

"Bastard!" Yuan Shao said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense."

Zhang He is his only general left now. After Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others died in battle, Zhang He is the only fierce general in Yuan Shao's hands. If Zhang He is gone, Yuan Shao will have no more generals to use.

Guo Tu said in a deep voice: "My lord, I already know the history of the battle of Yecheng. My lord, have you ever thought that there are uncles and nephews of the Xun family hiding for the army? Heaven and Earth, although I don’t understand Qimen, but I also know its mysteries. Qimen is a world, and it is a world of its own. , and deployed heavy defenses early!?"

Yuan Shao's expression froze and he didn't speak.

"Although I don't know how many Black Mountain troops there are, they are definitely not many, and judging from the history of the battle in Ye City reported by everyone, Chu Nan had a heavy army in the south gate beforehand, and even arranged a strange formation, and even sent the people in the city The remaining green energy of the city guard was put into the south gate urn, which caused our army to lose troops and generals!" Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shaosu and said, "If Chu Nan knew the layout of our army in advance, who would tell it?"

Based on Chu Nan's situation at the time, theoretically speaking, he should not have known about Yuan Shao's deployment, but Chu Nan not only knew, but also made targeted arrangements. Even the timing of Zhang Xi's signal release may have been controlled. It doesn't seem like a coincidence, combined with various signs and current rumors, Guo Tu thinks there is only one answer, that is, Zhang Yun has actually voted for Chu Nan secretly.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was still hesitating, Guo Tu said in a low voice: "My lord, at the beginning Han Fu was weak and Zhang He could vote for the lord, but now that the lord is weak, how could he not secretly vote for Chu Nan? Don't forget, Zhang He's family is also there now. Yecheng!"

At the beginning, Zhang He was under Han Fu's tent, but when Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, Zhang He didn't resist much, so he voted for Yuan Shao. It can be seen that Zhang He is not the kind of die-hard person. Since he could defect to Han Fu at the beginning, why can't he now? Taking advantage of the opportunity to vote for Chu Nan?Moreover, Zhang He's family members were in Yecheng, so Zhang He had every reason to surrender.

Yuan Shao was a little shaken when he heard this, it was too much of a coincidence.

Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling angry when he thought of Zhang Yun's secret vote to Chu Nan and the fact that he missed the best time to recapture Ye City.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shao sighed: "But now he is the only remaining general in our army!"

Without Zhang Yun, Yuan Shao is now really unable to come up with a general who will fight for him.

He suddenly regretted killing Ju Yi back then. If Ju Yi was still there, he wouldn't be useless!
Guo Tu immediately understood Yuan Shao's intentions, and said with a serious face: "My lord, it is precisely because Zhang Yun is a general that he should make preparations as soon as possible. He now holds the military power. If he wholeheartedly betrays the lord, the lord will be in danger!"

Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded silently, and then sighed: "However, Zhang He is so brave, no one in the army may be able to cure him."

In the past, although Zhang He was one of the four court pillars under Yuan Shao's tent, Yuan Shao was not afraid of Zhang He's rebellion with Yan Liangwen Chou. Even if he rebelled, Yan Liang Wenchou could still punish him. If he rebels, Yuan Shao fears that it will be difficult to deal with him, and it will shake the morale of the army.

Guo Tu's expression changed, he looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "My lord, Tu has a plan, but the soldiers are bloodless, drive Zhang He away!"

"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and said, "What trick does Gongze have?"

"May I persuade that Zhang Yun to leave voluntarily with his sharp tongue!" Guo Tu laughed.

Of course, you can also ask Xun Chen and Xun You to arrange a strange gate to attract Zhang He, but Guo Tu doesn't want to use this plan. In that case, it would be tantamount to telling everyone that Zhang He is against him. There will be a lot of losses, and it will make Xun You laugh.

Although letting Zhang He leave like this makes people feel a little unwilling, but this is the best way.

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to Gong Ze." Yuan Shao nodded and looked at Guo Tudao.

"Go here!" Guo Tu bowed, then turned and left, and went straight to Zhang Yun's camp to ask for an audience.

……

"Guo Tu?" Zhang Yun frowned when he heard Guo Tu begging to see him. He didn't have much contact with Guo Tusu, so why did he come to see him suddenly?

"Invite him in!" Without knowing why, Zhang He still asked Guo Tu to be invited in. After all, he was an important adviser under Yuan Shao, so it was not good to neglect him.

"Guo Tu has met the general!" Guo Tu saluted with a smile after seeing Zhang Yun.

"Sir, no!" Zhang Yun hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "Sir, how can you come here today when you are free?"

"Come here for the general's survival." Guo Tu said with a sigh.

"The last general?" Zhang He was puzzled, and while asking Guo Tu to sit down, he asked with a frown, "What do you mean by that, sir?"

"Has the general heard the rumors?" Guo Tu asked.

"The last general has been preparing for war these days. He never went out, but he didn't hear any rumors. Could it be that he heard something?" Zhang He shook his head. He is a general and doesn't care much about these things.

"Tu came back from the northern border this time, and heard rumors that the general had secretly surrendered to Chu Nan, and during the battle of Ye City, he revealed to Chu Nan the strategy of the lord to break the city, which led to the loss of our army in the battle of Ye City!" Guo Tu looked at Zhang Yun's expression and said in a deep voice.

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Yun suddenly stood up and said, "What does this matter to me!?"

"I also believe in the general, but this matter is too much of a coincidence. Then Chu Nan used some means to gain insight into our army's deployment and deployed it in advance. All of this is too coincidental. If there is no one in our army I am afraid no one will believe the secret message, and with the current rumors, it is hard for the Lord not to believe it." Guo Tu sighed.

"That's not me either!" Zhang He said angrily.

"The general still doesn't understand?" Guo Tu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a general or not. Some people want to pin this matter on the general."

"Who?" Zhang He frowned.

"Who else is there?" Guo Tu looked at Zhang Yun and said, "The key to this matter is not rumors, but the fact that the Lord has already believed this matter, the general is in danger!"

Zhang He's complexion became ugly.

"Little General, what should we do?" After a long while, Zhang Yun asked bitterly.

"For the present plan, the general resigns first to avoid the current turmoil. After the matter subsides, try to prove the general's innocence. Neither is good!"

After another long silence, Zhang He suddenly said, "Did the lord ask you to come here?"

Guo Tu didn't answer, but chose to remain silent, but the silence has already explained many problems, Zhang Yun smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "Okay, please resign, sir, please return this seal to the lord for me, He... goodbye !"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yun bowed in the direction of Yuan Shao's mansion, then got up and left...
