Chapter 137 Let Xu Bowen come in! Ask him if the southwest wind has arrived!?

"What?! Master, do you still want to kill me?"

When Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shu's appearance, he immediately sneered, but he was not afraid in the face of danger and stood still. If he was beheaded, it would be a relief at this moment.

For him, since he chose to follow him in the first place, he wanted to be loyal to it for the rest of his life. If his master failed to persuade him to return to the right path, it would be their fault.

Therefore, Yan Xiang also looked down upon the ministers who had persuaded him to enter.

All the people who tried to persuade me to join were just doing it for a nice official name.

Isn’t this deceiving oneself and others?!

If you deceive yourself into thinking that you can achieve great things, it will all be in vain in the end.

despair.

There was a soft sound, and Yan Xiang squinted his eyes to his shoulder, only to see that the long sword in Yuan Shu's hand had been pointed at his shoulder.

He was still drunk and not sober at all.

"Tell me, if Sun Ce doesn't betray me and Lu Bu sincerely helps me, will I become the emperor?"

Yuan Shu asked in a deep voice.

His words were full of resentment.

"Before my lord became emperor, he should have thought that they would not sincerely help each other. The so-called civil and military officials in the dynasty were all reckless and without foresight."

"In the past Zhou Dynasty, from Houji to King Wen, he accumulated virtues and merits. Two out of three parts of the world still served the Yin Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, it was not as prosperous as the Zhou Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty was small, it was not as violent as the Yin Dynasty.

"

"How can it be done? And since it cannot be done now, if the lord wants to protect himself, he should set an example and stay on top of the city gate, advancing and retreating with the soldiers."

Yan Xiang's tone remained calm.

"I dont go!"

Yuan Shu immediately became furious and threw the sword to the ground.

In my anxiety, I even forgot to change my words to "I".

So Yan Xiang understood in his heart that in Yuan Shu's heart, he might not really adapt to the status of emperor.

"I will never face the accountability of those unruly people, and I will never let myself die in the mud. The Yuan family is full of gold and jade, how can they be accused by untouchables?!"

After hearing this, Yan Xiang shook his head in despair, and immediately sighed deeply and said: "My lord——"

"Call my Majesty! Call!!"

Yuan Shu's eyes were completely red. After finishing Yan Xiang's words, he bent down to pick up the long sword on the ground and put it on his shoulder again.

This time, it was not on the shoulder, but close to the neck, almost drawing a red line, which made Yan Xiang's heart tremble.

Of course he was still a little afraid of death, but he was so chilled that he could gradually ignore this fear.

Yan Xiang took a deep look at the former glamorous lord, but still sneered and never shouted.

Yuan Shu tightened his arms, but at the critical moment, he still threw the sword.

Then he walked dejectedly to a stone bench, raised the hem of his black python robe, and sat down as if with all his strength. He put his hands on his knees and stared at Yan Xiang with blurred eyes.

"If I could wait until winter this year, I might still be able to survive."

"In this way, it is not easy for Cao Mengde to defeat Shouchun. All the soldiers and horses know that he is raising the banner of the Emperor of Han, and they will never let Zhong's soldiers and horses survive! Now they already know that they cannot defeat Cao Cao

, what can you do!?"

"Master Yan, do you have a plan to defeat Cao?!"

Yuan Shu tried his best to get closer to Yan Xiang, his eyes were forcing and ridiculing.

Yan Xiang shook his head seriously, "There is nothing we can do."

"That's it!"

Yuan Shu suddenly looked bitter and slapped his thigh immediately, "Since you have no other choice, why do you bother me so much?!"

"I, wouldn't it be right for me to take this opportunity to finally enjoy myself?!"

Although Yan Xiang's face was plump, his cheeks actually bulged at this moment. He glared angrily and quickly regained his composure, saying: "In the past, the Ling Emperor lived in the Western Garden, just like the Lord now lives in the deep palace."

"Don't they always end up helpless and dejected in the end?"

"If the lord does not go and lead the troops in person, how can the soldiers still be brave in ten days, and how can the people live in peace?"

"Then I don't care, what are these civil and military forces used for? I sent troops to Lujiang and were defeated by Xu Zhen. The resistance against Cao Cao was defeated by Cao Cao. Even Lu Bu was trapped in Guangling. I also lost 100,000 stones of food and grass outside."

"Now Shouchun is my last resort, and I absolutely cannot afford to lose it! I won't go!!"

Yuan Shu immediately leaned on the platform behind the stone bench, looked at Yan Xiang with a joking face, and said: "Get out, you are not a minister of my Zhong family, what are you doing here? I demote you to a commoner, and from now on you and I will be separated. coherent."

"Get out!"

Yan Xiang was immediately shocked. He actually understood Yuan Shu's meaning at this moment. This sentence had completely ruined the reputation of the two men.

This is Yuan Shu driving him away.

If Yan Xiang becomes a commoner within Shouchun, he can be safe among the people, and thus avoid the disaster after the city is broken.

From this, Yan Xiang looked up to the sky and sighed, and his heart became more depressed. After so many years of assistance, if Yuan Shu had been willing to listen to his advice, he would not be in the current situation.

However, Yan Xiang knew very well that the resentment in his heart was too deep.

For example, his brother Yuan Shao was originally a commoner, but he was supported by celebrities all over the world and won the hearts of party members. Almost all famous officials and scholars were willing to join Yuan Shao's command.

Moreover, after the alliance, Yuan Shao analyzed the general trend of the world very keenly and occupied the extremely important northern Jizhou, Qinghe, and Wei Commandery.

But if we talk about family background, Yuan Shu is his legitimate son, and he is a well-established member of the Yuan family. Those who originally supported Yuan Shao should support Yuan Shu.

But no one wants to do this, so what should we do?

This is something that Yuan Shu has in mind. Yan Xiang has always been aware of it, but he can't persuade him to take it lightly.

Yan Xiangcai always considered it his responsibility.

However, all this has passed. Now that Yuan Shu has driven him away, Yan Xiang has understood that Shouchun is definitely not a place to stay for a long time.

How can we defend the city when our hearts are lost?

He sighed with emotion and turned around to leave.

Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang's back, not knowing whether he was still slightly tipsy or had not woken up from his dream, so he smiled at Yan Xiang's back.

"Next year, when Cao Cao's troops retreat and I revive the 400,000 people in the south of the Yangtze River, those who are rebelling against me now should be punished one by one. If they come to beg for mercy then, I will not forgive any of them!"

Yuan Shu's mouth seemed to be raised to the sky, muttering to himself, but no one else heard these words. The concubines in the distance were hugging each other and hiding in the distance. Seeing this scene, all they could see was his lips. Squirming.

But I couldn't hear what was said, and naturally I felt worried and panicked.

His Majesty seems to have gone a little crazy. He only hopes that if the court is stable in the future, these women can be saved from being killed in war.

Now I have no choice but to pretend to accompany him and save my life first.

…

Within the city.

For three days in a row, Cao's army stormed the east city. There were not only more than 20,000 Cao's troops outside the city, but at least 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses. They continuously charged up to the city gate, and even had shield soldiers escorting them to the foot of the city gate and digging in.

After so many days, the east gate has been almost completely destroyed.

The soldiers who defended the city could only pile their lives on the city wall, then throw boulders and broken wood, and use machetes to chop down the grafted ladders.

He fought hard day and night for three days.

Cao Hong found that the obstacles he encountered were indeed very tenacious and tenacious, and he still could not overcome them.

However, the city wall that was smashed by the catapults has continued to collapse, and the entire wall is extremely dilapidated. Although there are many people at the city gate, it can definitely be captured.

"General! Withdraw your troops, we have lost another five thousand men!"

"Can't retreat! We will be captured soon!"

Cao Hong slapped his sword and ordered his troops to hold the ladders to attack again. At the same time, he prepared the catapults at the rear to be filled with kerosene, ignite the flames, and then throw the catapults against the city wall.

Under such military orders, all the soldiers attacked again, not daring to delay at all, so they attacked again for an hour.

The deputy general couldn't stand it any longer.

Their commander-in-chief had already led his troops to charge three times, but they were all shot back by arrows. However, the rain of arrows had become much smaller and fell sparsely.

"If we persist, we will soon be able to break through the east gate!"

"No! Zi Lian, the wear and tear of these soldiers and horses is too great. If we continue to attack, I am afraid that most of your deployment will be killed or injured!"

"I'm afraid Yuan Huan has already mobilized all his troops to defend the east gate. For such a big city, we have climbed to the gate three times, and we have been defeated three times!"

"The city gate has been broken down twice, hasn't it been repaired in both cases? The enemy's will is still strong, how can it be done!"

Cao Hong has already become red-blooded, not because of the achievements he is about to obtain, but because he can truly stand on the heels!

Cao Ren had a large army in command and could make achievements at any time. Yuan Rang had been stationed in Puyang for many years without incident, guarding against Yuan Shao's troops in the north. It was also hard work and meritorious service.
