Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 453 The Alliance Under the City
Lu Buti sent [-] Bingzhou troops out of Huguan, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yecheng.

A large number of enemies suddenly appeared in the rear, and all Qin Feng's troops were devoted to the battlefield on Yuan Shao's side.It can be said that if Qin Feng does not return his troops, there will be no defensive force in the rear.

But Qin Feng withdrew his troops back, Yuan Shao would just let it go?

Yuan Shao will never let go of such a peerless opportunity, Qin Feng's situation is imminent.

"My lord, mobilize the power of the Black Mountain Army." Ju Shou said.

Qin Feng pondered for a long time and felt that now is not the time. "The Montenegro army is a strange army. If we use it now, it will expose the strength of our army in advance."

The big tent fell into silence for a while.

At this time, Xu Chu came in, "My lord, Xu You, Yuan Shao's emissary, is asking to see you."

Qin Feng and the others were incredulous, what was Xu You doing here at this time?To blackmail?

"Bring him in." Qin Feng covered the sand table and went back to the hall to do the work. Civil and military were arranged on the left and right. After a while, Xu You came in.

Xu You is an arrogant person, but at this moment his posture is very low, "I have seen Lord Hou." He greeted Qin Feng's men and martial arts again, and finally said to Xu Shu: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother is being polite here."

Xu Shu returned the courtesy, "Brother."

Qin Feng had mixed impressions of Xu You. This man was capable, but after Yuan Shao ruled the north, he became depraved.But now Xu You has not fallen, and is quite talented.Qin Feng greeted: "Ziyuan, everyone is not an outsider, so there is no need to be polite. You came to me, but do you have any news from the beginning?"

Xu You cupped his hands and said, "There is a letter from my lord, please read it, Lord Hou."

Dian Wei presented it to Qin Feng for a look. When Qin Feng was watching, Xu You said from the side: "My lord remembers the past, and regrets the current dispute between the two sides. Now the world is in chaos, and all soldiers and horses don't care. Good intentions. My lord and Master Hou are as close as brothers, so please don’t let those who are close to you hurt those who hate you..."

The meaning of the letter is roughly the same.In other words, Yuan Shao hoped for a truce and a friendly relationship between the two sides.The reason is very good. Tigers and wolves are entrenched around Jizhou. If the fight continues like this, it will be bad for both sides.In a word, both parties benefit from harmony, and both parties suffer from competition.

Qin Feng was dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of medicine Yuan Shao sold in the gourd.

At this time, Zhang Ping came in a hurry and whispered: "My lord, Gongsun Zan raised troops to attack Yuan Shao, and the Intelligence Guard got accurate news that Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu have joined forces."

Qin Feng suddenly realized that it turned out that Gongsun Zan was fighting Yuan Shao behind, and Yuan Shao couldn't care less, so he wanted to stop the war with him.

Qin Feng is now also facing a situation where he can't take care of both ends.His heart moved, he put down the letter, and said differently: "Ziyuan, Benchu ​​has reached a desperate situation, and within two months, Benhou will be able to sing triumphantly. Benchu ​​came to seek peace at this time, it is a dream come true."

Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and other civil and military officials remained calm, but they knew in their hearts that it was impossible for Qin Feng to destroy Yuan Shao now.

When Xu You heard the words, he was no longer low-key, and said: "Master Hou's words are wrong. My lord owns four counties and has enough soldiers and food. Although he loses for a while, it is a common thing in victory and defeat. Master Hou only relies on less than [-] troops. Soldiers and horses, if you want to take all of my lord's land, it's just a dream. It's just that Nanpi and Xindu are such powerful cities, I'm afraid the Lord Hou will not be able to break through."

Qin Feng looked like he was being told, and said: "I'm tired from a long distance, cut it off so I can rest."

Xu You cupped his hands, turned around and swaggered away.In fact, Xu You was very guilty. Gongsun Zan's troops were getting closer and closer to Nanpi.Even if it takes one more day, Yuan Shao can't stand it.But Xu You must persevere, even if he shows a little weakness, he will not be able to sign the alliance under the city.

Qin Feng was testing Xu You just now, and after Xu You left, he said to Wen Wu, "Information guards say that Gongsun Zan is marching into Yuan Shao's headquarters in Nanpi. And Lu Bu is sending troops together with Gongsun Zan this time. It seems that Yuan Shao did not I don't know the news about Lu Bubing's departure from Huguan. If not, Xu You would have used this as a threat just now."

Everyone suddenly realized, and only then did they understand why Yuan Shao suddenly wanted to cease fighting.

Xu Shu admired him and said, "My lord is far-sighted. If Yuan Shao hears about the arrival of Lu Bu's army, he will definitely sign an equal truce with the lord. However, he doesn't know it now. My lord may use this to get more."

Qin Feng also thought so, and he suddenly smiled and said, "I was also surprised when I first heard that Lu Bu was coming. It seems that Yuan Benchu ​​is not much better."

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that the lord should remain calm, if he took the initiative to find Yuan Shao to stop the war, the matter would be different.

Now that Lord Yuan Shao came to seek peace, Qin Feng also took the initiative.He still needs to cease fighting with Yuan Shao, and before Yuan Shao learns that Lu Bu sent troops.

However, although Qin Feng was also very anxious, it was still in the afternoon that he summoned Xu You again.

When Xu You entered the big tent, he was sweating profusely.

Qin Feng invited Xu You to take a seat, and said, "This Marquis has thought about it for a while. If Ben Chu can show his sincerity, this Marquis may consider this matter."

Xu You breathed a sigh of relief. After careful calculation, he always believed that Qin Fengfeng agreed to the truce.It must be said that Qin Feng used all his strength in this war, and if he wanted to swallow Yuan Shao in one gulp, he would definitely lose everything.And the place of the Fourth Battle of Jizhou is full of enemies, it is impossible for Qin Feng not to think about it.

As a counselor, Xu You believes that what Qin Feng needs to do most now is to consolidate the existing territory and recruit troops to accumulate strength.

"Master Hou, my lord is absolutely sincere." Xu You followed closely: "At the beginning, my lord and Lord Hou agreed to divide Jizhou equally. Now, my lord takes a step back and only takes Hejian, Anping, Bohai, and Leling. Four counties. The rest, Qinghe, Weijun, Guangping, Julu, Changshan, Zhongshan, Zhaoguo and other counties, all belong to Lord Marquis."

Xu You emphasized: "Master Hou, my lord is really sincere."

On the face of it, Yuan Shao is indeed sincere. He only needs four counties, and Qin Feng will give the remaining seven counties, which is really sincere.However, these seven counties were already under Qin Feng's control.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are so sincere. Sincerely, the counties and counties that took me are generous to me, and I will return half of Anping County to Ben Chu. This is a good plan."

Xu You was embarrassed, but said on the surface: "Master Hou, don't say that."

Qin Feng's expression darkened suddenly, and he said, "Ziyuan, I won't bother you here anymore. If this battle continues, it will be even more unfavorable to your lord. If your lord has sincerity, you can give up Xindu, and you can use The Xindu area is the boundary."

"This..." Just as Xu You was about to speak, Xu Shu came out and said, "Brother, my master has always been kind, but this is because of the past, and he has made a huge concession. If not, regardless of the consequences, Yuan What will be the consequences?"

Xu You was speechless, it was already very good to get Qin Feng's approval for a truce.He said: "Since that's the case, let Xu You write back to my lord, news will come soon."

Arrived this evening.

Under the city of Xindu, more than [-] soldiers and horses from both sides have assembled, a real alliance under the city.

Yuan Shao was angry, humiliated, and had to pretend to be ashamed. He said: "Zi Jin, I am ashamed as a brother. Why do we brothers argue? We can sit down and talk about anything." Yuan Shao was ashamed and said: "Brother knows I'm sorry Zijin, I have agreed to all of Zijin's conditions."

At this time, Xu You on the side specially reminded: "Master Hou, my lord has agreed to Master Hou's request, and I hope Master Hou can keep his promise."

Tian Feng was upright, and couldn't help mocking: "My lord has always kept his promises, unlike some people who are insidious and cunning, and go back on their promises."

Yuan Shao's lungs exploded in rage when he ceded the land to pay compensation. Hearing this, he almost didn't have an attack.But for the sake of his life, Yuan Shao held back and pretended to be ashamed.

Qin Feng saw that Yuan Shao was forced to do so, but Qin Feng himself was also forced to do so.Now that the world is in chaos, princes from all over the world are fighting together, at this moment in the fight, we must not only look at one or two opponents, but take all opponents into consideration.You must not start a war with everyone at the same time. After weighing the pros and cons, a truce with Yuan Shao is the best choice.

On June 191, 10 AD, Yuan Shao was forced to sign an alliance under the city, ceded the area south of Xindu, and reached an armistice agreement with Qin Feng.

After the agreement was signed, Yuan Shao immediately left Xindu with his troops.

On the way to retreat, Yuan Shao sighed.Xu You said from the side: "My lord, it would be best to have such a result. If Qin Feng learned that Gongsun Zan had entered the army, things would not be so simple."

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case. After comforting himself, he was still a little complacent.His mood eased a lot, and he said: "Thanks to Ziyuan for persuading Qin Zijin, if we continue to persevere, the foundation will be ruined." He even comforted himself: "Even without Gongsun Zan's attack, it would be difficult to keep Hejian, Anping, and Lexuan. Ling three counties."

Hearing this, Xu You felt comfortable all over.

At this moment, a scouting horse came to report, "Report... my lord, the news from Bingzhou. Lu Bu killed Zhang Yang and took control of Bingzhou. At this moment, he is leading an army of [-] troops to enter Yecheng."

"What!" Yuan Shao was stunned, and he quickly put everything together, "It must be Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan who marched together, and Qin Zijin is also facing the same predicament as me!" Yuan Shao was furious, "If I got the news earlier , if you persist for a while, you don't need to cede the land, but let Qin Zijin cede the land!"

"I'm so mad!" Yuan Shao felt weak all over, wishing he could slap himself twice.

"No wonder Qin Zijin is so easy to talk this time, it turns out that he is also insecure..." Xu You sighed for a while, but also regretted not falling.

But it's too late to say anything now.

At this point, Yuan Shao led the army back to Nanpi with endless troubles, preparing to face the enemy Gongsun Zan.

On the other side, Qin Feng raised his troops overnight and returned to Yecheng.

Although Qin Feng solved Yuan Shao and gained certain benefits from it.But this battle with Yuan Shao for Jizhou cost a lot of combat power.The battle in Jizhou attracted the prying eyes of wolves from all around.Next, Qin Feng, whose strength has been compromised, is about to face the challenge of the tiger wolf Lu Bu who is even stronger than Yuan Shao.
