Yang Feng listened to Chen Gui's advice and finally decided to postpone the move and move all the people in Xuzhou. All related matters were handed over to the proposed Chen Gui.
In December, he went to Guangling again to inspect the progress of the relocation and found that Chen Gui was effective.
Chen Gui imitated Qin Shang Yang's method of sitting together, summoned the chiefs of all counties in Guangling, and ordered that every ten households in each county should be counted as one tithe.
The richest person, Ji Shichang, asked the chief to be responsible for moving. If there are those who cannot move, the chief will be killed to hold him accountable. The order continues like this.
Although it was quite time-consuming to organize the selection, it took more than 20 days.
Even though preparations were complete, more than 20,000 people from Guangling had already moved out in just ten days after it was completed. According to this progress, all Guangling people will be able to move out by January next year.
Yang Feng was greatly forgiven for this. When he returned to Xiapi, he immediately selected a pair of golden phoenixes from the collection and ordered his attendants to send them to Chen Gui overnight to show his favor. After that, he continued to indulge in wine and sex.
I was drunk all day long, dreaming of life and death, and I don’t know when, the fifth year of Yanxing came quietly.
Tens of thousands of people were relocated to Guangling. The momentum was huge and had not been seen in several years. In addition, the people moved slowly, and the Han army in Pengcheng could not pretend to turn a blind eye. As the New Year passed, every other day,
Yang Feng was able to receive several military reports, saying that there seemed to be Han army scouts spying on Pei State, and there were occasional cavalry wandering on both sides of the Huaihe River. However, they could not go deep, but they had obviously discovered the movement of Bai Bo's immigrants. I'm afraid it won't be long.
, the Han army will take action.
At the thought of fighting the Han army, Yang Feng suddenly woke up from his drunken consciousness. But after all, he was not the Yang Feng who marched to the north in the past. Today's Yang Feng neither has the courage to fight the Han army, nor does he have the guts to fight the Han army.
I had no clever way to avoid the battle with the Han army, so I spent half a day thinking about it in my house, and finally I had to ask my companions and subordinates for any ideas.
But he was not the only one who was so timid. He was as evil as Dugu Qixi. When he heard that there was going to be a war, he could not help but show a timid attitude. He suggested that it would be better to lead the army into Qingzhou first and go to the south bank of the river, and then lead the relocated people.
The implication is to get rid of all the relocations. Yang Feng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
If they abandon Xuzhou, where can they relocate the people? It is rare to escape intact. However, such a plan actually won a lot of approval, and he lamented in his heart: The morale of the army has been lost.
The remaining strategies were all middle-of-the-road strategies, and Yang Feng could not adopt them. After thinking about it, he remembered Chen Gui, who had been very effective in relocating people. He thought he was both resourceful and loyal, so he hurriedly wrote to ask for advice. p>
Not long after, Chen Gui sent a reply overnight. His reply was unique. He did not talk about today's predicament at the beginning, but specifically mentioned the Ruying Battle in the third year of Yanxing. The letter said that after Yuan Shu was defeated, Yang Feng led the Baibo Army.
Withdrawing from Henan, we went deep into the enemy territory of Yuzhou. There were large armies in the north and south, and the danger was even worse than today. But why was Yang Feng able to retreat unscathed?
Later, he analyzed that this was because the Bafu was influenced by Liu Bei and Chen Chong. Before and after the battle, in addition to the victory or defeat on the battlefield, they would also consider the people's livelihood and people's sentiments. Therefore, although their joint battles were easy to use danger, they rarely attacked the people.
At that time, Yang Feng plundered the people and property along the road, and the number of people at one time was close to 100,000. Han troops were following him all the way, and they did not dare to attack. This was probably because if a joint war was launched, the number of people who would be accidentally killed would be immeasurable, and Bafu
It was only because of this false reputation that Yang Fengan retired.
Nowadays, Xuzhou is relocating people on a large scale. Yang Feng might as well follow the old example and order the army to go with the people, which can achieve the effect of treating the people as quality. The Han army will definitely not rashly fight Bai Bo. The remaining countermeasures are nothing more than two.
They either look for opportunities to block the road, or send people to secretly recruit the fleeing people. As long as the Baibo army can seize the main road heading north first and the army strictly guards the people, the Han army will be helpless.
If you are still not at ease, you can release the news that Yuan Shu in Jiujiang holds the Chuanguo Seal, which is a national treasure. Once the Bafu hears the news, no matter what Xuzhou does, he must attack Yuan Shu first. Although Yuan Shu has few troops, he will
There are dangers in the Huaihe River and treacherous ministers in Shouchun, which can always delay Bai Bo for a while.
After reading Chen Gui's reply, Yang Feng and Han Xian discussed it. Except for the hesitation about taking the people as hostages, they all praised the rest of the plan and immediately started to implement it.
First, we must defend the key roads going north. Now that we have made up our minds to abandon the land, there are not many key roads to control. There are only two ways to go north from Xuzhou: one is to take Taishan County, pass Licheng from Fenggao, and cross the river from Gaotang;
The route is via Langya, encircling Mount Tai to Le'an, and crossing the river from Liaocheng. In comparison, Taishan County is surrounded by Cao Cao's tigers, and the road is steep and difficult, so it is naturally not as good as taking the route from Langya. Although it is a big circle, there are still many roads to the east.
Blocked by the East China Sea and towering Mount Tai in the west, the Han army was just leading the way to follow.
Then the disaster was diverted to the east. Although Yuan Shu was considered an ally at this time, the situation was so urgent that Yang Feng and the others could not take care of it. In addition to sending soldiers to spread the news that Yuan Shu had passed down the national seal, Han Xian also learned from his correspondence with Yuan Shu
Carefully selected, I selected a letter written by Yuan Shu: it not only mentioned the transfer of the national seal, but also contained Yuan Shu's implicit suggestion that Yuan Shao proclaim himself emperor, and the letter was stamped with the seal of the empress general, making it absolutely impossible to forge it.
After Yang Feng sent someone to deliver this letter to Pengcheng, one can imagine the consequences.
After everything was done, Yang Feng sent Cao Bao and two thousand knights to Xia Qiu. Externally, he sent scouts day and night to spy on the movements of the Han army. Internally, he continued to use Chen Gui and handed over all the relocation matters of the whole state to him. Yang
When he was handed over the important task, he also lamented to the envoy: "If it weren't for Chen Gongxiang's help, I would have been having trouble sleeping recently, for fear that I wouldn't even be able to taste the wine!"
Not long after, news came from the west, saying that General Liu Bei had learned of the changes in Guandong and had led tens of thousands of Bafu troops south to Hanoi. Yin Guanyu of Henan had also ordered all his troops and horses, and the two armies combined 100,000 people. They called for a combined attack.
Yuan Shu and Bai Bo aim to regain Shandong and Huainan, and will lead their troops eastward soon.
At the same time, Yuan Shu knew nothing about this. Since the battle of Ruying, Yuan Jiuji had rarely had such a time. Although he adopted Zheng Hun's suggestion and reluctantly negotiated peace with Baibo's army by submitting a surrender letter to Linzi, he obtained a peace.
It was a peaceful night. But after all, it was controlled by others. To the south was Sun Ce, who was galloping across the Yangtze River. To the west was Huangfu Li, who was encircling and suppressing the mountain bandits. To the east was the Bai Bo army, which was seizing territory treacherously on the battlefield. Caught between three sides, Yuan Shu was always pregnant.
Great horror.

In the middle of the night, he often dreamed of fighting and fighting, stabbing him directly from the smoke. As he went in and out, blood flowed profusely, and then he woke up from the bed. He was dazzled for a long time, but he could not fall asleep again. He
Suffering from this kind of nightmare for a long time, he couldn't eat anything and was in a trance. His originally healthy body quickly began to lose weight. Sometimes when he went to the military camp to see what was going on, he seemed to hear someone whispering, laughing at what he had done in the Battle of Ruying.
Ugly.
This situation lasted until recently, after he, Yuan Shao, and Bai Bo's army had reached an agreement on moving north. Only then did he express his anger, but what followed was the pain of not knowing what to do.
The strategy of giving away the jade seal was proposed by the eldest son Yuan Yao. In July, he said to Yuan Shu: Although the national seal is very valuable, it is a dead thing after all. What if it can buy my father's peace for half his life? Although Yuan Shu was reluctant to give up.
, but he still agreed. But now that he thought about it carefully, Yuan Shu felt an indescribable sadness: it seemed that the competition for power and victory in the previous thirty years was just a dream, and what he fought for seemed meaningless. Thinking of this, Yuan Shu seemed to have broken a string in the dark. Then a new problem arose. Late every night, he would sit alone and meditate, and then rub the jade seal under the light, not knowing what he was thinking. Until one day, Yuan Yao brought a brazier to warm his father, but he saw that Yuan Shu had put down the jade seal, but was dazed in the bedroom with a dagger. Before Yuan Yao could speak, Yuan Shu suddenly said: "Why did Yuan Gongliu in Runan end up like this?"
Such a situation?" Without waiting for the eldest son to answer, he closed his eyes, held the dagger high, and stabbed hard into the heart.
Unexpectedly, after the stabbing, Yuan Shu didn't feel any pain at all. He wanted to pull out the knife and stab again, but found that the blade fell into a pair of palms. He pulled it out and only reacted when he heard the groan of the eldest son. p>
The brazier brought by Yuan Yao had been spilled on the ground, and the red-hot charcoal was scattered around, which also illuminated the dripping blood on his hands. Yuan Yao asked Yuan Shu caringly: "Why is father like this?" Yuan Shu heard these words,
Tears overflowed and rolled down his clothes. He immediately threw himself into his son's arms and cried so loudly that his voice became hoarse. Then he kept mumbling to himself: "Why is Yuan Jiuji like this! Why is Yuan Jiuji like this?
!"
After this incident, Yuan Shu finally let go of his worries. After he sealed the imperial seal in the letter, he called his three sons and two daughters to his knees and said to them: "I, Yuan Gongli, have all filial sons and daughters, so God doesn't care.
You have treated me badly." So he took advantage of this last year to have a feast with his children. Then he ordered his subordinates to sort out their finances, gather soldiers, and wait for news from him day and night. Once there is an order, they will immediately prepare to go north.<
/p>
In Yuan Shu's view, he is now a small county with less than 10,000 soldiers. In the eyes of the Han army, he is just a feather in the forest. However, the Baibo army in Xuzhou is a traitor to the Han army and has tens of thousands of people. It is obviously a Han army.
The army’s chief enemy.
Yuan Shu then came up with the idea that he did not need to rush northward, but should delay for a while. After the Han army came east, he would engage in battle with the Baibo army. No matter how many troops the Han army had, they would inevitably lose sight of one thing. He could take advantage of this opportunity and suddenly
He led his troops into Xu, and then went north day and night to defect to Yuan Shao.
He thought very well, and the situation seemed to have changed as he thought. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, when Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang, Yuan Shu found out that there was an incoming and outgoing baggage at Zhang Xian's headquarters in Pengcheng, and it was obvious that something would be done soon.
.However, Huangfu Li of Yuzhou is still suppressing bandits in Anyang and has no intention of coming east.
Pengcheng is adjacent to Baibo, Xiapi, and is separated from Jiujiang by Pei State. It seems that the Han army will attack Xuzhou soon!
How sad! The emperor's dream has awakened, but Yuan Shu is still dreaming of a miserable existence.
However, at noon on the 20th of the first month, when Yuan Shu was having dinner with his wife and children, a military report ruthlessly shattered this dream. The letter said that a group of Han troops suddenly came out of the north of Zhongli, and a group of Han troops suddenly came out of the north of Zhongli.
The Han army suddenly came out of the east of Yicheng. They all carried Zhang Xian's flag. During the movement of the two groups, Yuan Shu's escape route from the east of the Huaihe River was cut off.
