Lu Dynasty

Chapter 675
I have always believed that storming the city is the most stupid way, but if I don't attack, I really don't know how to break into Jizhou City.This old boy Yuan Shao is really willing to spend, he has built a solid Ye City, and even Jizhou City and Julu have been built decently.However, I can also understand Yuan Shao, after all Jizhou is his stronghold.Not only did I build Luoyang in Sili, I also built Chang'an as solid as gold, and even built roads. I am more willing to spend than Yuan Shao!

Yuan Shao is willing to spend money, but I will be in trouble.Under the city of Jizhou, I stayed for more than ten days.Gao Gan and Yuan Xi went to the village [-] miles outside the city, and Jizhou City was at the crossroads of each other. As long as I move, there will be support from the other side. It's just a feint, but it has no effect, which makes me very depressed.

I am depressed because our army is depressed. Seeing that I am depressed, the whole army is using their brains to break the idea of ​​​​Jizhou City.The generals of our army also gathered in the big tent to discuss countermeasures.Suddenly, Guo Jia said: "Master, let's retreat!"

"What?" Lu Bu immediately jumped up and said, "Feng Xiao, you are not joking! Now that we have fought here, if we take down Jizhou and then Yecheng, we will be able to take the two prefectures of Youji into our pocket. You can still destroy Yuan Shao, the great enemy of our army, now you want us to retreat, why are you at ease!"

"Feng Xian!" I stopped Lu Bu from continuing. It's normal for generals not to understand the thoughts of scribes, but as my younger brother, Lu Bu must not question Guo Jia's judgment, and what he said was a bit hurtful!What's more, I also think that retreating is beneficial to our army!I looked at the excited Lu Bu and smiled and said, "Can you stop being so impatient and let Feng Xiao finish the sentence! Feng Xiao has been with us for more than ten years. Has he ever done anything against our army? He said retreat, There must be his reasons, if you dare to interrupt again, I will beat you!"

Lu Bu curled his lips when he heard what I said, and stopped talking.Guo Jia cupped his hands at me and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your trust! In fact, I asked my lord to retreat because the intelligence department received news that Yuan Shao died of illness half a month ago, and the throne was passed on to Yuan Shang!"

"Sir, Yuan Shao is dead, can't we take advantage of this opportunity to capture Jizhou?" Zhao Yun asked, "Didn't you tell us to take advantage of the injustice of the funeral?"

"Am I such a pedantic person?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Zilong doesn't know something. Yuan Shao has three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the youngest son is Yuan Shang. Yuan Xi has never been favored by Yuan Shao, so he treats Yuan Shao He has never coveted his position. If Yuan Shao favored his eldest son, Jizhou would be difficult to attack. However, Yuan Shao abolished the elder and established the younger, and passed the position to the younger son Yuan Shang. Now that our army is under pressure, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang must keep it Yuan Shao's foundation can only be united, if our army retreats, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will definitely fight. I wonder if Zilong has heard about Bian Zhuangzi's assassination of a tiger?"

"When two tigers fight, one must be wounded! I understand!" Zhao Yun said with a smile: "As Mr. said, retreating is indeed a good way!"

Guo Jia's explanation not only understood Zhao Yun, but also Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. Zhang Fei spat and said, "Brother, even those two little bastards from Yuan Shao's family are considered tigers? They are just two pigs! Stupid can!"

Zhang Fei's words made everyone in the big tent laugh. Lu Bu patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said with a smile, "Yide, we always have different opinions on weekdays, but today, I have completely different opinions from yours." Unanimous!"

I waved my hand to silence Lu Bu and the others and said, "Since everyone thinks that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are two pigs, let's just withdraw our troops and let these two pigs play by themselves! But how can we withdraw our troops so that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will not be suspicious?" ?”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's easy! Liu Bei is ready to move recently, and he seems to have won Jingnan! If he defeats Cai Mao, he will control the entire Jingzhou! A few days ago, our army received a letter from Cai Mao, please surrender, The letter said that as long as our army can protect him, he is willing to surrender to the lord and offer Jingxiang!"

"What a joke!" Lu Bu said angrily, "If he sincerely surrenders, our army will naturally take him in! But he actually blackmails Big Brother! If Big Brother wants Jingzhou, I am willing to be the vanguard and bring Jingzhou for Big Brother!"

"I'm willing to wait too!" As soon as Lu Bu expressed his opinion, Zhang Fei and others also stood up, as if they wanted to kill and go to Jingzhou now!

"I understand the hearts of the brothers, but if you can take Jingzhou without bloodshed, why hurt the lives of our soldiers?" I smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, if you send a letter to Luoyang, as long as Cai Mao and the Cai family can guarantee to obey our army's decrees And the policy, I will definitely keep him! If not, I will ask him to choose someone else, but if I capture Jingzhou, then I can’t let him!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I've already made my lord's attitude clear to Luoyang!" Guo Jia said with a smile, "Cai Mao also told my lord that he would abide by my lord's laws and policies. I just hope that my lord will send a general to Jingzhou as soon as possible. We are going to launch an attack on Jingzhou!"

"In this case, let's go to Jingzhou first!" I smiled and said, "Yan Xing listened to the order: You take the troops back to Liangzhou! Feng Xiao asked Li Jue and Guo Si to take over Bingzhou, and our army's squadron will return to Sili to prepare for the dispatch of troops. Jingzhou!" So I continued to let Zhang Ji be in charge of Bingzhou, and left Zhang Xiu to guard Yangquan to take care of each other.After making arrangements, I took the troops out of camp.

Yuan Shang and others were overjoyed when they knew that I had withdrawn my troops.Yuan Xi had no intention of contending for the reserve. After the siege of Jizhou was lifted, he and the senior officials returned to Youzhou with their troops.But Yuan Tan refused to accept Yuan Shang. In ancient times, the eldest son inherited the family business. Yuan Shang's mother was the second son, and Yuan Shang was the third son. Yuan Shao passed the big position to Yuan Shang in this way, but he didn't give Yuan Tan an explanation. Yuan Tan was naturally dissatisfied, so after our army left Jizhou, Yuan Tan called Xin Ping to discuss and said: "I am the eldest son, but I can't inherit the family business. Yuan Shang is from his stepmother, but he can inherit the title. I'm really not reconciled!" Don't say Yuan Tan is not reconciled, just say that Xin Ping is not reconciled either.In terms of family background, Xin Ping is also one of the best in Jizhou. In terms of talent, Xin Ping thinks that he is not weaker than the trial and appointment!Now he is assisting Yuan Tan, but Yuan Tan failed to inherit the position!There is no counselor who does not want his lord to be the supreme ruler. Xin Ping not only hopes that Yuan Tan can obey him, but also hopes that Yuan Tan is the lord of Jizhou, so that he can also rise with the tide!Xin Ping has designed to harm Fengji, since Yuan Tan wants to fight for Jizhou, a poisonous plan was born in Xin Ping's mind!Although this strategy is very old, it is undeniable that this poisonous strategy is very effective!
