I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 791: What’s going on with this deep heart?
Yuan Shao's army kept shrinking backwards, and the ships kept moving forward. Their space on the river became smaller and smaller, and it could be said that they were defeated.

This is also a very normal situation.

Huang Zu died, Wei Yan rebelled, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai failed one after another, and Yuan Shao's naval army had lost its core command and was completely in disarray. Facing the northern army, which was highly organized and highly unpredictable, it naturally had no room to fight back. of.

All the situations were clearly visible to Yuan Shao.

But he remained expressionless.

However, only he knew the pain in his heart at this moment.

Seeing that the ships on the river had been forced to retreat to the river, Yuan Shao knew that the water war was over and it was impossible to stop the Northern Army from going south on the river!
Once Liu Jian succeeds in crossing the river, he will definitely force the city into the stronghold. At that time, it will be more difficult for Yuan Jun to stop them.

White soldiers, white horse Yi Cong, trapped in the camp, Qingzhou army, Xiliang cavalry, Youzhou cavalry, Bingzhou wolf cavalry...

What Yuan Jun will face when the time comes is these ferocious troops, but Yuan Shao is powerless now.

"withdraw troops."

Xia Houlan said: "I think Yuan Shao has too much time to take care of himself, how can he divide his troops?"

Xia Houlan was stunned when he heard this.

"In addition, Lu Bu and ten thousand sergeants will cross the river first and lay the foundation of the water stronghold on the other side to prepare for the large army to cross the river."

Jiangling can be said to be his last hope to organize the Northern Army to move south. Once Jiangling falls, where should he rely on to stop the Northern Army from moving south?
Yuan Shao didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

"The rest of the troops are on hold for the time being."

Liu Jian smiled and said: "As you said just now, I think he has too much time to take care of himself... Come to think of it, come to think of it... it means there is still some possibility."

"Prime Minister, let our army cross the river and approach Jiangling to set up camp!"

Yuan Shao gave the last order to the messenger in a heavy tone, and then saw him staggering towards the city.

Xia Houlan quickly reported the situation ahead to Liu Jian.

How can Yuan Shao remain undefeated?

But I heard Guo Jia laughing at the side: "General Xiahou, what the Prime Minister means is that he is afraid that Yuan Shao has an ambush on the north bank. Once our army crosses the river, his troops and horses on the north bank will take advantage of the opportunity to come out and disturb my rear. Although it will not cause me any harm." The army was defeated, but it was attacked from both sides on the river. It was not good for our army after all. It was expected that the losses would be considerable. For the sake of safety, it was not advisable to cross the river to the stronghold at a high speed at this time. Even when crossing the river, well... we had to cross slowly. "

Now he doesn't know where to go.

"Please give me your instructions, Prime Minister!"

Xia Houlan sighed secretly.

But, does this really work?
Of course it didn't work!

Yuan Jun began to retreat towards Jiangling's shipping water village, which naturally made the soldiers of the Northern Army excited.

Even at this level, the Prime Minister still acts in a very orderly manner, without any negligence or slackness, allowing others to take advantage of him.

He couldn't find any flaws in the Prime Minister's behavior.

Liu Jian said, "There's no rush."

Now, he just wants to go back home, drink a pot of warm wine, and numb his nerves.

Liu Jian ordered: "Send the order. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou are divided into five groups. They take turns commanding the navy to use trebuchets on the river to approach Jiangling and bombard them!"

"only!"

Xia Houlan stood up after receiving the order, but he did not understand that with the range of the Northern Army's trebuchets on the warships, even if they approached Jiangling through the waterway, the thrown stones would not be able to cause damage to the defenders in Jiangling City.

This move was completely in vain.

In this case, what is the significance of the Prime Minister's actions?

……

The next day, Lu Bu led 10,000 soldiers to cross the river in small boats and set up camp on the other side.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou took turns organizing a fleet and began to stone Jiangling on the river.

In order to be able to place the trebuchet on a large ship, northern craftsmen modified the ship and the trebuchet, reducing the structure of the trebuchet and also reducing the range, because both the power and the range were far away. Not as good as when on land.

Therefore, such a trebuchet can only scare Jiangling City at best. In terms of distance and power, it is not a threat to Jiangling at all.

But in fact, what Liu Jian wanted was to deter Jiangling City.

Those stones that filled the sky were not used to break Jiangling's city defenses, but to break the hearts of the soldiers in the city.

The sky-blocking stones kept flying up, hitting the walls of Jiangling City or the land outside Jiangling City, making heavy roaring sounds.

None of these stones could cause casualties to the soldiers in the city, but they made their hearts seem to be tortured.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at the northern sergeants on the river. They roared at them with great force and threw stones at them. However, they did not dare to say a word or fight. They just felt a deep sense of cowardice and fear. Bury it in your heart and let them make noise outside.

It can be said that this is very harmful to Yuan Jun's morale!
Moreover, those stones not only hit the morale of Jiangling and Yuan Jun, but also hit the hearts of the people in the city.

People in the entire city, listening to the constant bombardment and shouting outside, had already become a mess. Throughout Jiangling City, people began to pack their valuables in large and small packages, preparing to flee the county at any time and leave this place. A place that scares them.

From the generals to the civilians, everyone is living in deep fear at this moment.

But Yuan Shao himself is not panicking at the moment. He has passed the panic stage. He is now despairing.

For two consecutive days, Yuan Shao stayed in his study, drinking every day, and only occasionally interfering with matters in the city.

Guo Tu, Pang Ji, Cai Mao and others came to persuade Yuan Shao one after another, but they could not persuade Yuan Shao no matter what.

After Lu Bu settled the camp outside Jiangling, he immediately ordered people to shoot arrows at the city wall. Those arrows were all tied with a letter. Occasionally, a few of them were lucky enough to hit the top of the city and were picked up by the soldiers in the city. After reading the content of the letter, Guo Tu pondered for a long time and finally forwarded the letter to Yuan Shao.

The letter was written by Liu Jian to Yuan Shao.

"The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Jian Jian, wrote a letter before this period: He who is a general must have a heart, ears and eyes, claws and claws. Those who do not have a heart are like people walking at night, and they are at a loss. Those who have no ears and eyes are like living in the dark, not knowing. Movement without claws and claws is like a hungry man eating poison, and will inevitably die. Therefore, a good general must have knowledgeable and wise people as his heart, people who are careful and careful as his ears and eyes, and brave and good enemies as his claws. "

"Who are the heart, ears, and claws of this original creation?"

"It's nothing more than betraying relatives and leaving relatives."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart when he read this.

Liu Jian's words can be said to have penetrated deeply into his heart.

This is talking about his weakness at the moment.

Yuan Shao calmed down and continued reading:

“Foretell droughts and floods in astronomy, know the balance of geography first, observe the expected meeting of the battle formation, guess the enemy’s shortcomings and strengths, lament the uneducated people, go up against the sky, act as thieves who usurp the country, separate Jingchu, and bring disaster to one party. "

"Now my king's troops have arrived, and I have sent you to gather the remaining troops in Nanyang, but they were defeated at the Han River."

"We are sleepy on land and water, and that's all."

"Nowadays, all the children in Guizhou and everywhere know that the Yuan family is in dire straits, and their reputation has been ruined forever."

"The generals of Jingchu threw away their armor and swords all over the countryside."

"Those who live in high halls are heartbroken and bile-stricken; those who are generals are like rats scurrying about."

"I would like to ask Benchu, do you have the dignity to meet the twenty-four emperors of the Han Dynasty, and do you have the dignity to enter the Yuan family's temple?"

……

"what!"

When Yuan Shao saw this, he suddenly reached out to cover his chest, leaned forward, and barely supported himself by the table.

Chen Dao outside the door heard the sound and hurried into the hall.

"Mr. Yuan, you...!"

Yuan Shao looked up at Chen Dao, his eyes blurred.

"Liu, Liu Jian! I...I will kill you!"

After saying that, Yuan Shao suddenly stood up, grabbed the long sword on the sword stand next to him, pulled it out, and slashed at Chen Dao.

Chen Dao was shocked when he saw this. He didn't dare to neglect Yuan Shao and avoid Yuan Shao in the whole room.

"Mr. Yuan, Gong Yuan! So-and-so is Chen here!"

Yuan Shao ignored him and shouted angrily at Chen Dao with his teeth bared.

"Liu Deran, I will kill you! I will kill you!"

"I, I am a role model for the world!"

"I am the lord of the world!"

"I am the one who deserves to be respected by everyone in the world!!!"

"Kill!"

"kill!"

"Kill Liu Jian!"

Yuan Shao looked crazy and chased Chen Dao with his sword to kill him in the hall. Chen Dao was not stupid, so he could not let Yuan Shao kill him. He ran around the pillars, circling back and forth, just to prevent Yuan Shao from cutting him.

But the space in the hall was limited after all. Yuan Shao almost hit Chen Dao several times.

Seeing the critical situation, Chen Dao couldn't care less. He could only take a risk.

After dodging Yuan Shao's sword, Chen Dao waved his hand and slapped Yuan Shao directly on the face. The force was so strong that he whipped Yuan Shao around in a circle and finally fell to the ground. .

"scandium!"

The sword in Yuan Shao's hand also fell to the ground.

Yuan Shao seemed to have regained some of his consciousness after being slapped. He looked at the ceiling blankly, seeming to be thinking about something.

Chen Dao stepped forward cautiously and asked: "My lord..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shao suddenly turned his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Who are my heart, ears, eyes and claws?"

"Who can be my confidant...?"

"No more, no more..."

Yuan Shao's lips were bright red as he murmured.

Chen Dao was so frightened that he trembled all over. He never expected that his slap would cause Mr. Yuan to vomit blood.

How should you deal with the lord's palm until he spurts blood? What's the crime?
Just when Chen was at a loss, he heard Yuan Shao suddenly speak weakly:
"Call my son to come... call my son to come quickly..."
