The lights in the hall were brightly lit, and there was constant discussion and even the sound of Yuan Shao's rage.
Yuan Shao had fallen asleep at night when he was suddenly woken up and told that there was a fire in the direction of the granary. Although it had not been confirmed yet, there was a high possibility that the fire was in the granary.
This made Yuan Shao very angry.
Yuan Shao went south from Yixian County, retreated to the garrison in Muxian County, and gathered all the materials in Muxian County, hoping to use this to delay Zhang Liao and Tian Chou, so that their armies would be completely destroyed in Muxian County.
Now, his granary caught fire first.
How can we fight without food?
Yuan Shao glanced at Jushou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others, vented his emotions like a shrew, and said: "If the food and grass are really gone, we must come up with a plan to deal with it."
When Yuan Shao was about to continue speaking, he suddenly noticed that Xu You was not there and said in a deep voice: "Where is Xu You? Where did he go?"
Yuan Shang is also sitting below.
The food and grass were gone, and Yuan Shang was a little anxious.
But his anger towards Xu You outweighed the crisis caused by food and grass, and he wanted Xu You to pay the price.
Therefore, Yuan Shang quickly said: "Father, Xu You is too arrogant and arrogant. During the day today, Xu You came to you anxiously, saying that his son was imprisoned by the Minister of Justice, and questioned his father indiscriminately, showing no respect at all.
."
"My son went to comfort him and said that although his son was imprisoned, it was not a big deal. He was detained first to stabilize people's hearts. When the war is over, he will naturally be released. However, he cursed people with a lot of nonsense."
"Xu You also said that if Shen Pei uses power for personal gain, it depends on whether Shen Pei dares to kill someone or not, and will Shen Pei pay the price?"
"This man is too arrogant."
Yuan Shang looked coldly and said: "My father relied heavily on Xu You and let him do everything. However, Xu You relied on his old age and trampled on the law by relying on his father's favor. Such people must be dealt with."
Jushou and Tian Feng looked at each other.
Something happened to Xu You.
However, they all know Yuan Shang, and this person is by no means a good person. I am afraid that when Yuan Shang sees Xu You, it is not as simple as simply comforting him. He must have other arrangements.
Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Xu You is indeed domineering and should be beaten."
"Tap! Tread!!"
The sound of rapid footsteps came.
Zhang He strode in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the fire in the granary has been investigated clearly."
"what happened?"
Yuan Shao asked angrily, with a fierce look on his face.
The granary was his lifeblood. Without the food in the granary, he would lose the ability to fight against Tian Chou.
Zhang He quickly said: "The person who burned the granary was Xu You. He said that he was inspecting the granary under the king's order and led people into the granary, so he set fire to it. When he came out, he bewitched Wu Ping'an, the general guarding the granary, and escaped."
After Yuan Shang heard this, he stood up and said loudly: "Father, Xu You set fire to the granary and ate the inside and outside. He deserves to be punished for his crime."
Yuan Shao was also extremely angry.
How dare Xu You?
However, Xu You did it, leaving Yuan Shao so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Yuan Shang said he would kill him, but everyone fled, so how could he kill him?
Yuan Shao's eyes were red and he was breathing heavily. He stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes becoming more fierce. When he saw Yuan Shang, he suddenly grabbed a wine bottle in front of him and threw it at Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang jumped away and said, "Why did your father hit me?"
Yuan Shao said angrily: "Is this how you comforted Xu You? After you comforted Xu You, he directly set fire to the granary. You bastard, if you hadn't provoked him, Xu You would not have betrayed."
Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment, then he stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Father, didn't you take the wine bottle and hit Xu You with the wine bottle today, making him betray?"
Yuan Shao's face was even more confused.
This traitor!
Yuan Shao's breathing became even more rapid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have an irreconcilable relationship with Xu You. How could he betray you just because of a few words? You must have gone to see Xu You and said something to irritate Xu You. What did you say?
What?"
Naturally, Yuan Shang would not admit it and explained: "Father, my son and I are just comforting Xu You."
On the way back, Zhang He was thinking about what to do.
Now, when he saw Yuan Shao and his son's daily routine of "father is kind and son is filial", his cheeks twitched and he quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to deal with it. There is a fire in the granary, what should we do?"
When Tian Feng saw the news confirmed, he took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, we have no food and our hearts are wandering. We cannot defend Mo County at all. I suggest that we withdraw our troops."
Jushou said seriously: "Both Zhang Liao and Tian Chou are very smart. Once they discover a fire in the city, they will definitely take action. If they want to withdraw their troops, they must evacuate as soon as possible."
Guo Tu nodded hurriedly and said hastily: "Your Majesty, retreat."
Yuan Shao thought for a while, nodded and said: "In that case, prepare to retreat. But this time you retreat, you will definitely be killed. Who will come to the rear?"
Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Guo Tu and others did not express their opinions.
Everyone is very quiet.
Zhang He didn't take the initiative to speak and just stood in the hall.
Yuan Shao looked around and saw that no one took the initiative. His eyes instantly fell on Zhang He and said in a deep voice: "Jun Yi, you are in charge of the Euphorbia Warriors and are good at defending the rear. This time, how about you leading the Euphorbia Warriors to the rear?
?”
"The general will obey your orders!"
Zhang He answered directly.
He knew that the queen was in danger, but since he was working for Yuan Shao, since Yuan Shao gave his orders, he could only agree.
A cold look flashed across Yuan Shang's eyes, and he said: "Father, when we evacuate M County, the people here will become people of the Wu State. These people will become the help of the Wu State in the blink of an eye."
"My son suggested that before leaving, arrange for soldiers to search for the people's money and food, gather the people together, and drive them towards the north city, so that they can escape across the mountains and plains after leaving the city, blocking Zhang Liao and Tian Chou's pursuit."
Yuan Shang said: "As long as Zhang Liao's army is held back, we can evacuate quickly."
Zhang He clenched his fists and said quickly: "No, Your Majesty. Once you allow soldiers to plunder, it will destroy the people's hearts and further affect your image in the hearts of the people. Please think again, Your Majesty."
Zhang He himself is from Muxian County, and the Zhang family is a wealthy local family.
In addition, the ancients had a strong sense of locality, and Zhang He did not want his hometown to be slaughtered. Therefore, he glanced at Yuan Shang and said again: "Your Majesty, I will definitely hold Zhang Liao back and ask your Majesty to spare the people of Mon County.
"
Yuan Shao suddenly smiled and said: "I have remembered that Junyi is from Muxian County. That's all, I will grant you your wish. You will lead the eight hundred Euphorbia soldiers to the rear, and I will lead the army to evacuate."
"Here!"
Zhang He bowed and answered.
But when he bent down, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
It was fine to stay behind and die. However, before Yuan Shang evacuated, he also planned to massacre the people of Muxian County. He was so unjust and unjust, and he did not look like a human king at all.
"Let's go to the military camp and prepare to retreat."
Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang He's agreement. Although Zhang He only had eight hundred men, he could defeat ten of them. Even if ten thousand people attacked, Zhang He could still resist the attack.
Defensively, the Euphorbia is the strongest.
After Yuan Shao gave the order, he took Yuan Shang, Zhang He, Tian Feng, Ju Shu and others and went straight to the military camp. When the group arrived at the military camp, Yuan Shao quickly arranged the evacuation. The army took action in a very short period of time.
