Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh concentrated outbreak
Handan, government office.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang quickly came to the door of the Yamen Office. They saw Ju Shou and others standing by. When they saw the two approaching, Ju Shou quickly saluted: "Young Master."
"Sir, how is father?" Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang asked urgently.
Yuan Shao's third son, the eldest son Yuan Tan, went to Qingzhou, and the second son Yuan Xi was originally to guard Youzhou. Unfortunately, Youzhou had already been conquered by Lu Bu's army, so Yuan Xi followed Yuan Shao all the way back here.
As for Yuan Shang, he was originally in Ye City. On that day, when Chu Nan captured the city, Yuan Shang was escorted by his family generals and escaped from Ye City. He first retreated to Handan to lay the foundation for Yuan Shao in Handan. Only then did Yuan Shao defeat Ye City and retreat to Handan.
things.
"It's the season of the heart. As long as you calm down and rest, you'll be fine." Jushou sighed.
Rest in peace?
Yuan Shang smiled bitterly when he heard this. It didn't sound like it was a difficult task, but for Yuan Shao now, the most difficult thing might be to rest peacefully.
Chu Nan's troops were approaching the city, and they were surrounded on all sides. Seeing that the Yuan family's foundation was about to come to an end, how could they feel at ease?
"You are all wise men in this world. You don't know the current situation. Do you have any solution?" Yuan Shang looked at everyone and asked with cupped fists.
Cracked?
Jushou and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Guo Tu sighed and said: "Third Young Master, Chu Nan currently claims that 500,000 troops are surrounding Handan. Although this is an exaggeration, in my opinion, there are still more than 100,000. However, the number of generals in our army in the city is only 20,000.
And he has no fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit. It will not be easy to defend Handan alone. If he wants to break the situation, unless Chu Nan is punished by heaven."
At this time, if the thunder from the sky crashes down and kills Chu Nan, there is still a slight chance. Otherwise, given the current situation, it will be almost impossible to come back.
"Is there no other way?" Yuan Shang was a little reluctant when he heard this.
"Perhaps the eldest son can show off his talents in Qingzhou, defeat Chu Nan's troops and horses besieging Qingzhou, and then quickly send his troops north to severely defeat Chu Nan's main force, forcing Chu Nan to divide his troops to stop it." Xun Chen said helplessly, this is also a situation.
An almost impossible thing.
Putting aside whether Yuan Tan has the ability to repel Zang Ba, even if Lu Qian's troops are defeated by luck, will the external threat be gone? And how many troops can Qingzhou mobilize?
If less troops are transferred, it is impossible to force Chu Nan to divide his troops. But if more troops are transferred, what will happen to Qingzhou? Then if Lu Qian and Zang Ba make a comeback, will Qingzhou still defend it?
Therefore, it is almost impossible to count on Yuan Tan, whether in terms of ability or other aspects. It is not easy for him to keep Qingzhou. This is why Yuan Shao sent him to recognize him. If not, Yuan Tan would have been deceived by Chu Nan before.
, after Cao Jun defeated Chu Nan, he went out to Qingzhou for a tour. Apart from the loss of troops and generals, nothing happened. Qingzhou was probably captured long ago.
However, Yuan Tan may be the Yuan family's last hope now. Yuan Shang feels a little emotional about Yuan Tan's good luck. If they cannot overcome this difficulty, the Yuan family who is most likely to survive may be Yuan Tan.
Everyone did not go back. After confirming that Yuan Shao was okay for the time being, everyone came to the front hall to discuss the current situation. Yuan Shao's current state was no longer suitable for presiding over the overall situation. Faintly, everyone seemed to have the intention of taking Yuan Shang as the new master.
After all, everyone present knows very well that others may have a way out, but they are unwilling to follow Chu Nan even if Chu Nan is willing to accept him. Apart from the friendship with Yuan Shao, the biggest problem is actually that everyone present is more or less
I have a grudge against Chu Nan.
After all, Chu Nan has been fighting from Xuzhou to the Central Plains in recent years, especially many of the people present are from Yingchuan, and the Yingchuan clan was the hardest hit after Chu Nan took over the court. Among the big clans, Xun was probably the only one.
The family is still preserved, but the other wealthy families, even if they were not destroyed, have lost 90% of their wealth, and more importantly, the implementation of the New Deal has also cut off 90% of the wealth of the wealthy families.
With the combination of blood feud and interests, everyone knew very well that even if they were willing to surrender, Chu Nan would probably not be able to reuse them.
Therefore, if the people in Handan City want to lose the most, they are no less eager to defeat the enemy than Yuan Shao.
For the public, this is a struggle for the world, a struggle for ideas, and for private interests, it is a struggle. They are making a final struggle for the interests of the scholars. Once they fail, Chu Nan's tactics will become the general trend, and the scholars will completely fall into despair.
altar.
…
The darkness of night was gradually dispersed by the sunlight. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning fell in the lobby, a man stumbled in. He saluted everyone and said, "I have something important to report to my lord."
"Tell me what you have to say. My lord needs to rest now. If there is nothing important, don't disturb my lord's purity!" Jushou waved his hand.
"This..." the general hesitated for a moment, looked at the crowd and said: "Gentlemen, three generals were assassinated in their sleep last night! This matter has spread in the army, and the friends of the three generals killed all their men.
We have surrounded them, trying to catch the culprit."
Jushou and others' expressions changed when they heard this. What they were most worried about had happened.
"This matter..." Guo Tu turned to look at Jushu. At this time, he didn't want to argue anymore: "Do I need to inform the lord?"
Although it is a question, it expresses an affirmative meaning. This matter is too big. No matter how it is solved, it has to go through Yuan Shao. Moreover, if it is not handled well, it may lead to a mutiny. No one can bear this responsibility.

Jushou sighed and nodded, and everyone went to find Yuan Shao and inform Yuan Shao of the matter.
"You bastard!" Yuan Shao looked a little depressed at the moment. After learning about this, he patted the table in anger.
"My lord, please don't be angry. We had already anticipated this matter yesterday, but we still need to tell you how to make a decision," Jushou said quickly.
All the things Chu Nan did yesterday were just for this scene to happen. Now Chu Nan's strategy has finally come to fruition.
"Lord, if this matter is not handled properly, it may trigger a mutiny among the soldiers!" Guo Tu said in a low voice.
The problem now is not to find the murderer. Who the murderer is is actually not important at all. This is obviously a personal revenge. The real question is how to stand. If you choose the side of the war general, it will intensify the conflict. If you side with the soldiers,
The generals will definitely be dissatisfied. The soldiers are important, but without the generals to lead them, it will be difficult for them to become powerful.
"It's a pity that Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in battle, and the rest of my generals have also fallen. Otherwise, why would this be difficult?" Yuan Shao leaned on the couch, closed his eyes and sighed.
Now regarding this issue, in fact, if someone with absolute prestige among the soldiers steps forward, no matter how they deal with it, the matter can be suppressed.
There were many people like this in the past, and Yuan Shao's subordinates, including Sitingzhu, Jiang Yiqu, and Chun Yuqiong, all had enough prestige to suppress them.
It's a pity that now that Yuan Shao is dead and gone, there is no general around Yuan Shao who can calm the morale of the army.
Guo Tu suddenly regretted forcing Zhang He away. If Zhang He were here, he would surely be able to stabilize the situation.
"Mr. Yuan, there is actually someone who can intimidate the army's morale!" Xun You looked at Yuan Shao and said.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at Xun You and saw that he was looking straight at him. Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Is it me who Gongda is talking about?"
"Exactly, if Mr. Yuan doesn't come forward at this time, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve." Xun You nodded.
As the leader of Jizhou, Yuan Shao is now destitute and alone, but his prestige is still there. He can suppress the generals and the soldiers. Yuan Shao's intervention in this matter is the best result.
"That's all, come with me, everyone!" Yuan Shao nodded, then got up and went to the ground, ready to go and settle the dispute.
At this moment, a general suddenly walked quickly to the door and was stopped by Yuan Xi.
"Lord, something happened. A group of soldiers just wanted to open the city gate, but the guard blocked it. They killed the guard. At this time, there was chaos near the city gate!" The general ignored the etiquette and shouted directly into the house.
road.
Yuan Shao's expression changed when he heard this, and everyone's expressions also changed. This was already a precursor to a mutiny.
"Quickly mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion without making any mistakes!" Jushou reacted the fastest and ordered immediately.
At this time, the rebellion must be nipped in the cradle as soon as possible, otherwise if it is allowed to develop, with the current military morale, it may spread to the entire city.
"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion and share the worries for my father. My father should stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible, otherwise there may be changes!" Yuan Shang said quickly.
Chu Nan was watching from outside the city. He had the ability to control beasts. The giant eagle wandered around the city every day. Once the chaos in the city spread, it would be difficult to hide it from Chu Nan's eyes. When the time came, they would face each other.
It’s not just the rebellion of the city’s defenders, but also Chu Nan’s attack!
"My son, go quickly!" Yuan Shao nodded, stood up immediately, and led everyone straight to the direction of the military camp.
Just as everyone was going out, they heard the sound of a horn sounding from the direction of the city wall, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but change. This was clearly a warning horn for the enemy to attack the city.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a general galloping towards this side on horseback. While he was still on the horse, he already shouted: "Lord, the enemy is attacking the city!"
"I'm going to defend the enemy. Please quell the chaos in the military camp as soon as possible, and send troops to support the city wall as soon as possible!" Jushou saluted Yuan Shao.
At this time, the only one who knows the most about the art of war here is Ju Shou.
"You and I will go, I will be here shortly!" Yuan Shao nodded, dragged his weak body onto his horse, and headed straight for the military camp.
Jushou also led his men to look at the city wall and continued to receive battle reports along the way. This time, Chu Nan was attacking from all sides.
It should be a probing move, but if the defenders act too aggressively, Chu Nan's probing will turn into the most violent attack until the city is captured!
Jushou instantly judged Chu Nan's intention. If he really wanted to break the city, he would attack from two sides and attack with force from one side. With flowers blooming on all sides like now, the threat would not be great. But if the other side thought there was a problem on his side, the defense would
If it's not enough, then prepare for Chu Nan's thunderous offensive.
As soon as they arrived at the city, they saw stone bullets carrying the power of thousands of armies falling on the green air of the city, causing ripples to appear in the shield formed by the green air of the city.
The enemy's siege equipment began to consume the green energy of the city's defense...
