Seeing that Yuan Shao's camp accepted his request, Zhao Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Shao finally agreed, and then Cao Jun's food and grass matter could be relieved. With the food and grass presented by Yuan Jun, Cao Jun would not be there for a while.
Worrying about food and grass.
However, Zhao Fei also had to work hard for Yuan Jun's food and fodder. After all, if someone has a short mouth, he will have short hands. So if he accepts Yuan Jun's food and fodder, he will do his best to capture Youzhou.
However, Zhao Fei is not very worried about this. Gongsun Zan has been crippled by Yuan Jun, especially the cavalry he relied on for survival has been completely wiped out by Yuan Jun, so Zhao Fei will no longer be afraid of Gongsun Zan. No more
How could the cavalryman Gongsun Zan be Cao Jun’s opponent?
Even if Gongsun Zan has the advantage of the city, he is still no match for Cao Jun. After all, Zhao Fei is very confident in Cao Jun's combat effectiveness, so he doesn't take Gongsun Zan seriously. As long as Cao Jun's army is approaching, Gongsun Zan has no chance of resisting.
.
Yuan Shao agreed to Zhao Fei's request, but he also had his own request, which was that only when Cao Jun conquered Yi Jing under Gongsun Zan's rule, Yuan Shao promised to send grain and grass to Cao Jun.
Zhao Fei did not refuse Yuan Shao's request. After all, he couldn't do anything with nothing. After all, Yuan Shao was not a fool. He was also a master who would not let go of the rabbit before he saw the rabbit. Without any benefits, he would not pay too much.
The atmosphere of the subsequent banquet became much better. Zhao Fei got what he wanted, and Yuan Shao also got what he wanted. So the two of them were naturally in a very good mood.
Zhao Fei and Yuan Shao were in a good mood, so no one at the banquet was going to give any advice, at least they wouldn't say anything in front of Zhao Fei. After all, Zhao Fei is Yuan Jun's hero, and there are still things that he can count on in the future.
a lot of.
In the following days, Yuan Jun was about to raise his army, but Cao Jun was actively preparing for war. Although Ju Shou Tian Feng and others tried to remonstrate with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao had already made up his mind. He had no time to wait for Yuan Jun to recover before taking Youzhou.
Now, he wants to capture Youzhou, and he doesn't care even if he loses some food and grass.
Yuan Shao had already made up his mind. No matter how much Ju Shou and others said, it would be useless. The final result would be to annoy Yuan Shao. If Zhao Fei hadn't been behind Yuan Jun's camp, the angry Yuan Shao would have arrested Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others.
After a period of preparation, Cao Jun was finally well prepared. Zhao Fei was very confident about the expedition against Gongsun Zan. What he wanted to do at this time was to capture Yi Jing as soon as possible and then return to the court.
It had been a while since he came out. During this time, Zhao Fei missed his wife and children very much. Presumably, except for himself, the other soldiers of Cao's army must also have returned to the court after the war was over.
The army set off, but it was not just Cao's army. Although Yuan Shao suffered heavy losses, he still dispatched an elite army to go with Cao's army, and the commander of this Yuan army was Yuan Shao himself.
Yuan Shao has long been impatient. After taking Youzhou, he will become the largest prince in the world. Every time he thinks of this, Yuan Shao can't help but feel excited. Therefore, Yuan Shao wants to witness Gongsun Zan's demise with his own eyes.
Witness yourself to become the greatest prince in the world.
Zhao Fei not only did not feel disgusted with Yuan Jun's actions, but instead supported him 120,000 points. The more soldiers there are, the greater the advantage in the war. Moreover, Yuan Jun can completely serve as cannon fodder and let them fight to the death with Gongsun Zan.
You will enjoy the success yourself.
However, the idea is very good, but Yuan Jun may not be taken advantage of. After all, Tian Feng, Jushou and others under Yuan Jun's command are all talents, so they will never let such a thing go unnoticed, but even so, Yuan Jun can still ask for it.
Yuan Jun dispersed Gongsun Zan's troops, which was somewhat effective.
No matter what thoughts everyone had, they all had one idea, which was to conquer Yi Jing and then kill Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan did not have a suitable heir. As long as Gongsun Zan died, Youzhou would be included in Yuan Jun's territory. Therefore, Yuan Shao was absolutely determined to win Gongsun Zan's life or death.
In this regard, Gongsun Zan is obviously very clear that Yi Jing is the last fortress of Youzhou. As long as Yi Jing is defended, there is still hope for the war. But if Yi Jing fails, then he will definitely have no hope of turning around.
Therefore, since the defeat and withdrawal of troops at Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan has been ordering people to strengthen the defense of Yijing. Whether it is deploying soldiers to garrison Yijing or increasing the garrison strength on the city wall of Yijing, Gongsun Zan has done it himself.
Yi Jing will definitely be a decisive battle. Gongsun Zan will not give up Yi Jing easily, and Yuan Jun will naturally take it as his own mission to conquer Yi Jing. Therefore, the battle for Yi Jing will definitely be the most brutal battle in the entire Youzhou battlefield.
The coalition forces of Cao and Yuan were invincible, and no Gongsun Zan's soldiers could stop them wherever they went. The army kept marching north until they reached Yijing, and then they stopped and controlled the front.
Looking at the tall city walls of Yi Jing, Zhao Fei knew that this battle must be very difficult. Now, Gongsun Zan has reached the last moment of his life and death, and Yi Jing is his hope for survival. If Yi Jing is captured by the coalition forces of Cao and Yuan, then he will
The only way to go is to surrender.
Looking back on history, Gongsun Zan burned himself to death in Yi Jing. At that time, Yuan Shao's army besieged Gongsun Zan and the city of Yi Jing. Gongsun Zan was isolated and helpless, and received a surprise attack by Yuan's army. He suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that he was unable to stand up, Gongsun Zan first killed his wife.
Son, then set himself on fire.
Speaking of this, Zhao Fei admired Gongsun Zan's ruthlessness. However, Zhao Fei really did not dare to agree with Gongsun Zan's approach. However, for a generation of heroes, this result is probably the best result.
Rather than being defeated and captured, it would be better to burn oneself to death more heroically. However, Gongsun Zan's actions can only prove that he is an overlord, not a king. Real kings often know how to endure.
Whether it was Gou Jian, the king of Yue, or Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, these were all people who knew how to endure, and in the end, their achievements far outweighed the humiliation they suffered.
However, for Gongsun Zan, the cavalry he relied on for survival has been exhausted, and it has become impossible to return to the strength before the war. After all, those cavalry have followed Gongsun Zan for many years, and they will not be able to survive in a short period of time.
What kind of fighting power will there be again?
The main force was wiped out, and Gongsun Zan felt somewhat disheartened. If he received a devastating blow in Yi Jingzai next time, it would be a common thing for him to have a mental breakdown and commit suicide.
But now is not the time to think about this. Yi Jing is Gongsun Zan's base, and it is definitely very difficult to capture Yi Jing. Even if Cao's army is powerful, Zhao Fei does not dare to defeat him in a short period of time.
Then he captured Yijing City and captured Gongsun Zan alive.
The road now can only be taken step by step. If you want to win Yijing City, you need to take a long-term approach.
Yijing is a majestic city built by Gongsun Zan. The purpose of building Yijing is to station troops to resist Yuan's army. Therefore, Yijing is a fortress, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the walls are tall and thick, so it is definitely not an easy task.
Conquered.
If Yi Jing can really be conquered easily, then Gongsun Zan's efforts over the years will be like a laughing stock.
Gongsun Zan was a character, and Zhao Fei didn't think he would be so stupid. The fortress he built with great effort was easily conquered by Cao's army. Therefore, Yijing Fortress is indeed Gongsun Zan's last resort.
But no matter what, Yi Jing has to overcome it himself. Although there are many difficulties, Zhao Fei will definitely try his best.
In the days that followed, Zhao Fei ordered his men to surround Yijing City, but he did not order an attack. After all, the number of Cao and Yuan's coalition forces was far greater than that of Gongsun Zan, so surrounding Yijing did not have much impact.
Moreover, this point is also recognized by Yuan Shao. In this battle, Yuan Shao will definitely capture Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop. Only in this way will Youzhou be completely under his command. Gongsun Zan is a hidden danger, and only by eliminating it can he feel at ease.
Otherwise, Yuan Shao's heart will never settle down.
In Yijing City, Gongsun Zan saw that Yuan Jun was surrounding him, so he didn't have much worry. Yijing was a fortress, which he built specifically to defend against Yuan Shao, so the facilities and food in the city were enough for him.
Spendthrift.
Moreover, the coalition forces of Cao and Yuan were under the city. If there were only Yuan Army or Cao Army under the city, Gongsun Zan might still be a little worried, but in the face of the two reinforcements, even though the coalition forces far exceeded his own, Gongsun Zan believed that he still had the strength to fight.
However, Gongsun Zan had a good idea. The coalition of the two armies would not be able to unify their orders and actions. Yuan Jun would not obey Cao Jun's arrangements, and Cao Jun would not obey Yuan Jun's will.
Moreover, Cao Jun came to assist Yuan Jun, so they naturally would not try their best. On the day of the boundary bridge, from Cao Jun letting him go, it can be seen that Cao Jun's idea was to preserve his strength, not to fight against him.
Now that he knows that Cao Jun has this idea, even if Yi Jing really can't stand it anymore, he can still choose to break out of Cao Jun's defensive position. It is expected that Cao Jun will not fight with him head-on, so if he wants to break through, it is still possible.
sexual.
Cao's army surrounded but refused to attack, which made Yuan Shao a little anxious. The coalition offensive was fierce a while ago, and they quickly captured many of Gongsun Zan's cities, which naturally put Yuan Shao in a good mood.
Now that they finally arrived at the city of Yijing, what Yuan Shao wanted most was to conquer Yijing in a short time and capture Gongsun Zan alive. Therefore, Yuan Shao was naturally unable to accept the fact that Cao's army was besieging him but not attacking.
Although he was quite dissatisfied, Yuan Shao had no choice. The commander of Cao's army was Zhao Fei, and Cao's army was also led by Zhao Fei. Yuan Shao asked himself that he had no power to command Zhao Fei.
So even though he was very dissatisfied, Yuan Shao could only endure it silently.
