"Lord, although there are 130,000 defenders in Bohai City, there are only less than 10,000 veterans, the remaining 20,000 are recruits, and the 100,000 are urgently recruited militiamen..."
Hearing Ju Yi's words, Yuan Shao couldn't help but frown, and asked in a deep voice: "General Ju Yi, what do you want to say?"
Ju Yi gritted his teeth and said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, although our army is large in strength, its combat power is weak. If the Qin army attacks the city at all costs, it will only be a matter of time before the Bohai Sea falls. Therefore, please stay away from the Bohai Sea first."
This is a wrong place.”
"no."
Yuan Shao decisively refused and said: "Only if I, the king, stay, can the whole city be determined to defend. If I, the king, leave, Bohai City will not be able to defend it at all."
"But……"
"Okay, don't try to persuade me anymore. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. The general just needs to guard the Bohai Sea."
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Ju Yi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, even if you don't leave, at least you must send the young master and the military advisor out.
The current Bohai City is really too dangerous. No one can guarantee that we will be able to defeat the Qin army. If something happens to us, we should at least let the young master inherit the flag of the State of Zhao and let the ministers who are loyal to the State of Zhao have a master to serve.
, so that the young master can continue to fight against the Qin army."
Ju Yi's words were already a bit rebellious, but after hearing this, Yuan Shao not only didn't get angry, but actually showed a look of relief.
Ju Yi was a surrendered general in South Korea, and Yuan Shao was wary of him after all. The reason why he was so reused was because there was really no one else Yuan Shao could use except Ju Yi.
Most of the generals of the Zhao State were killed in the battle at Julu, and Tantaiyu, who was still alive, was seriously injured. Today, there are really no generals available in the Zhao State.
However, now when Zhao State is in the most difficult time, Ju Yi is still planning for himself wholeheartedly, which also makes Yuan Shao completely let down his guard against Ju Yi.
"General Ju Yi, long before Su Lie besieged the city, I had asked two military advisors, Tian Feng and Xun Kan, to leave Bohai with Tan'er, Xi'er, and Shang'er.
This is the top secret of our army, general, be sure not to spread it to outsiders." Yuan Shao warned with a serious look on his face.
When Ju Yi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The master was finally on guard against him. He didn't even notify him of such a big matter until now.
Yuan Shao not only kept the secret from Ju Yi, except for a few people in Bohai City, most people did not know that Yuan Shao had secretly given away his three sons.
The reason why Yuan Shao kept it secret was to strengthen the defenders' resistance, but what he didn't know was that this became an excuse for Su Lie to criticize him.
"Lord, it's not good, something serious is going to happen."
Shen Pei, who was responsible for guarding the north gate, and Xiao Yan, who was responsible for guarding the west gate, walked in side by side, holding a large envelope in their hands, which was the "Letter to the People of Bohai Sea" written by Su Lie.
"My lord, the Qin army used bows, arrows and catapults to drop a large number of these letters into the city."
With that said, Shen Pei handed the paper in his hand to Yuan Shao, and said solemnly: "It is scattered all over the city, and the people are spreading it from ten to ten. If it is not stopped, I am afraid that the whole city will know about it.
"
Yuan Shao frowned, and when he took the paper and looked at it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"A message to the people of the Bohai Sea:
The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and is deeply favored by the Han Dynasty.
However, the Yuan family originally did not want to serve the country, but instead supported a false emperor, which was disloyal;
Ruining the Yuan family's centuries-old reputation for selfish reasons is unfilial;
It is unkind to force the entire city to join the war for one's own gain;
It is unjust to seduce the people of the city to defend the city and secretly send away their children;
These unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust people should be punished by everyone...
In addition, Yuan Benchu often criticized the people, and all parts of the country implemented reforms to divide the land, but Zhao Yiguo continued to implement the old system...
Now the King's Division has arrived at the city, and the destruction of the city is imminent. We hope that the people of the Bohai Sea will turn around and not continue to be deceived by Yuan Shao's traitors. The King's Division will only kill Yuan Shao alone, and will not harm innocent people...
Anyone who presents Yuan Shao's head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of Marquis within the Pass..."
"Bang..."
Yuan Shao slammed the edict heavily on the document and shouted angrily: "A plan to attack the heart, a plan to attack the heart, Su Lie, the traitor, is so vicious."
In addition to scolding Yuan Shao's character, the book also goes to Zhao's most vulnerable weakness, which is that the new land system was not implemented and the people did not benefit from the new land system.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people all over the world rebelled against the Han Dynasty. In order to appease the people's anger, the Han Dynasty court implemented a new law modeled on the "Heavenly Land and Acre System". The states and counties below also implemented it to varying degrees. Among them, Qin Hao and Cao Cao's reforms were the most thorough, while Yuan Shao was the most
It's perfunctory.
Yuan Shao came from the largest aristocratic family in the Han Dynasty, and he was naturally on the side of the aristocratic family. Even if he wanted to, he would not harm the interests of the aristocratic family for the sake of the people.
Although Yuan Shao did not implement new laws, under his vigorous governance, the people under his command could barely afford to eat, and their lives were indeed much better than before, so the people of Jizhou still supported him.
But now Su Lie's article directly revealed to the people of Zhao how rich and good their lives were after allocating land to the people of Qin, and directly revealed the biggest scar of Zhao.
Comparing the two, the people of Zhao State will definitely feel psychologically unbalanced. Why do they have land and food but they don't? And all this dissatisfaction was vented on Yuan Shao.
The most annoying thing is that Su Lie also implicitly stated in the article that after the Qin army conquers the Bohai Sea, the new law will be implemented in the Bohai Sea, and everyone will be allocated land by then.
As the King of Zhao, Yuan Shao understood the people's desire for land. Now that Su Lie is tempting the people of Bohai with allotment of land, one can imagine how the people will react.
Even if Yuan Shao did not leave the palace, he could guess that Bohai City would be in chaos by now.
"Send the order and immediately seize all the documents. People are not allowed to keep them privately, circulate them, or watch them. Anyone who violates them...will be killed without mercy." Yuan Shao said with murderous intent.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhong immediately stood up and objected, saying: "No sir, defending the people is more important than guarding Sichuan. If you do this, you will completely push the people to the opposite side. By then, there will be no need for the Qin army to attack, and Bohai City will be destroyed."
He made a mess on his own."
Yuan Shao scratched his scalp irritably: "Sir, what do you think we can do?"
