Although Yuan Shao was shy and endured humiliation, he wrote a letter to praise him, but the siege of Pengcheng was not resolved.

He was worried that the emperor would change his mind and make more excessive demands, so it would be too late to regret it. Before receiving the formal pardon edict, he refused to rescue the siege.

This point was approved by everyone and was a rare unification in Yuan Shao's camp.

If Liu Bei had not defended steadily, the casualties of the attack were too great, and the troops were not enough, Yuan Shao would even want to take Pengcheng before he could take it down.

If he could take down Pengcheng, he would not care much if the edict came.

But his strength does not allow it, so he can do nothing.

Standing on the stage several times and looking at Pengcheng in the distance, Yuan Shao asked himself again and again, what was wrong? Why did even Liu Bei become so firm that he could not defeat him?

Zhang Xi did not object to Yuan Shao's decision. Chen Lin looked for him several times in private and tactfully asked him to make suggestions to Yuan Shao and lift the siege of Pengcheng. If not, Chen Deng could be released first.

Although Chen Deng was in the prisoner camp, although he had not suffered much, he was still in a state of disgrace and had only one last breath. No one knew when he would die. If Chen Deng died, the revenge would be deeply rooted.

, Xia Pi Chen family is not a small family, and has a great influence.

Zhang Xi refused.

The time has not come to release the siege of Pengcheng. It is not appropriate to release Chen Deng now.

It is well known that Chen Deng refused to surrender. After he was released, should he keep him in the camp or let him go? Leaving him in the camp means he didn't let him go. If he climbed the high place and called on him to reorganize the army,

Attacking Yuan Shao, wouldn’t this peace that has finally been obtained be ruined again?

Chen Lin was speechless and felt helpless.

No matter how good the article is or how good the eloquence is, it is not worth a penny in the face of reality.

Although Zhang Xi refused to help, he could not watch Chen Deng die in the camp. He came to the prisoner camp to visit Chen Deng and said to Chen Deng, after the war is over, you go to Sikong Mansion to be an official and follow me into the court.

Chen Deng knew the elegance when he heard the sound of the strings, so he agreed happily, looking forward to it, waiting for the day when he regained freedom.

Looking forward, looking forward to the imperial edict from the court has arrived.

But it was not an edict to pardon Yuan Shao, but also an edict to restore Liu Bei's clan origin.

Yuan Shao besieged the city, and the envoy was unable to enter the city directly, so he found Sikong Zhang Xi and asked Zhang Xi to come forward to make peace and let him enter the city.

When Zhang Xi heard the content of the edict, he frowned.

The edict to pardon Yuan Shao did not come. Before the war was over, Liu Bei's clan was restored first. This is not bad. If you pardon Yuan Shao, you will first lift the siege of Pengcheng, and wait for Liu Bei to report military merits, and then reward merits.

?

Based on his years of political experience and his understanding of the emperor, he realized that there was a lot of work here.

The envoy who sent the edict said that I was not clear. I just sent the edict and I don’t know why the emperor did this.

Zhang Xi had no choice but to explain the situation to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao could let the envoy pass through the camp and enter the city to pass the imperial edict.

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Please come to Fengji to discuss it.

Feng Ji was sent to Shouchun last time on his mission, and was imprisoned by Yuan Shu. He used his name to deceive Yan Liang's trust, which led to the loss of Lujiang and Yan Liang's death. Feng Ji knew that he was bound to be responsible and almost fled. He was persuaded by Zhang Xi to return to Pengcheng Da.

After the camp, he kept reflecting on himself and did not dare to cause trouble.

Seeing Yuan Shao suddenly meet each other, Feng Ji was happy and realized that the opportunity was coming.

Yuan Shao didn't ask Tian Feng for something, but Ju Su discussed it, but he found someone who had made a big mistake, which shows that Yuan Shao was extremely dissatisfied with the people of Jizhou and even had a crisis of trust.

After roughly understanding the situation, Feng Ji came to the conclusion immediately.

The emperor was not in a hurry to issue an edict, it should be to give Cao Cao and Zong Cheng time to capture Sui Yang.

Yuan Shao is about to withdraw to Jizhou, and Suiyang must give up, but it is hard to say whether the Jizhou soldiers in Suiyang City can retreat safely.

The reason why Cao Cao failed to attack Suiyang was because he did not have enough troops. He came out in full swing and could have taken Suiyang, but Shen Pei returned to the rescue, which resulted in him having to divide his troops to block the attack, and the strength to attack Suiyang was insufficient.

Despite this, Cao Cao did not withdraw his troops, but risked being attacked by the enemy from both sides and refused to rescue Shen Pei. He clearly wanted to wipe out the Jizhou soldiers in Suiyang City, and was not satisfied with regaining Sui.

Positive.

As time went by, Zong Cheng would come to reinforce with Nanyang soldiers, Cao Cao's chances of victory became greater and greater, and the possibility of the five thousand Jizhou soldiers in the city escaped without any hesitation.

If the delay time is long enough and the situation develops further, Cao Cao may even launch a development attack, take the initiative to launch an attack, cut off Yuan Shao's way back to Jizhou. Or come to Pengcheng directly and cooperate with Liu Bei inside and outside.

Shen Pei could not understand this, but he was reluctant to retreat because it was his son Shen Rong who guarded Suiyang City. Among the five thousand soldiers in Jizhou, many of them were his troops. If these people were

If Cao Cao is completely wiped out, he will be damaged and his status in the army will be affected in the future.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao woke up from his dream and then became furious again.

For his personal gain, Shen Pei dragged everyone into a dangerous place.

Seeing this, Feng Ji poured another gouge of oil.

The emperor could give up Liu Bei and Pengcheng in exchange for time to mobilize people, horses, money and food, but Shen Pei could not give up Shen Rong, because his knowledge was too far apart. If he had not only focused on preserving his strength, let alone Cao Cao could not have defeated him, Liu Bei would not have been able to stay until today.

.

Yuan Shao's mentality was completely exploded.

He finally found the reason why he failed to conquer Pengcheng.

It’s not that Liu Bei is good at fighting against Liu Bei’s strength, everyone knows that it is just like Yuan Shu, and even Cao Cao can’t beat him, but Shen Pei is unwilling to do his best. Shen Pei holds a grudge when he listened to Tian Feng’s suggestion and took Tan County first, but he didn’t listen to him.

, first surrounded Pengcheng, so he did not work hard, which led to Pengcheng's failure.

All of this makes sense.

Yuan Shao immediately summoned Tian Feng and Ju Su, proposing to lift the siege of Sui Yang first, interrogate the inspectors and move to Dingtao, and protect the retreat.

His reason is very good.

Since I have written a letter to praise me, it is only a matter of time before I withdraw my back. In order to prevent the court from slowing down the future, on the grounds of negotiations, Hanoi troops were transferred to advance eastward and cut off the retreat route, it is necessary to let Shen Pei go north to Dingtao first.

Anyway, after fighting for so long, Shen Pei was unable to defeat Cao Cao and lift the siege of Sui Yang, so it would be useless to stay here.

Tian Feng became anxious when he heard this and directly accused Yuan Shao of doing something random.

Even if you want to retreat, the lord should first remove the siege of Pengcheng, raise troops to face the west, defeat Cao Cao, and support the soldiers in the city to break through. How can you first withdraw the soldiers and abandon the soldiers in the city and ignore them?

Those are five thousand Jizhou athletes.

Yuan Shao was furious and shouted sternly: "When the two armies fight, the damage is inevitable. A real man is determined by the world, so how can he only care about Jizhou? Since the two armies fought, there have been no less than 10,000 casualties. I have never seen you pity. Why do you mention the Jizhou Jianer?

You have a completely different attitude? The athletes in Jizhou are humans, but the soldiers from other states are not humans?"

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, subconsciously trying to argue, but was grabbed by Ju Su, half-carried and half-draged him out of the tent.
