Chapter 317 Yuan Shao has no choice but to use dead soldiers
Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei all failed to send troops to support Yuan Shao due to various reasons, and poor Yuan Shao was trapped in Yangquan. Although Zhou Yu was poisoned by an arrow, Xu Shu was not an easy person. Historically, Xu Shu once relied on his
Liu Bei's 3,000 remnant troops blocked Cao Ren's 50,000 elite troops. Now, he has more than 200,000 strong troops, and the four powerful generals Guan, Zhang, Huang, and Ma can be dispatched at will. Even though Yuan's army has 700,000, he only ends up with nothing.
The fate of being ravaged
"Who can tell me why Liu Zhang only has an army of 200,000 to 300,000 men, and our army is more than twice his, yet he is besieging him here?" In the city guard house of Yangquan City, Yuan Shao looked at his counselors and generals acting evil there.
I don't blame him for being angry. Anyone who sees Yuan Jun's military ration account book can't help but take a breath. As the lord, Yuan Shao is considered elegant if he doesn't kill anyone.
"My lord, the main reason is that Liu Zhang's generals are too brave and our generals can't stop them, so..." Seeing Yuan Shao getting angry, a scribe quickly stood up to defend himself.
"Are you saying that our general is too incompetent, or that I don't know how to recognize people?" Yuan Shao glared, baring his white teeth, like a hungry wolf that wanted to eat people. In fact, in this situation, it is best
Just keep your mouth shut and wait for Yuan Shao's anger to subside.
"I...not..." Seeing Yuan Shao's ferocious expression, the scribe stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Drag him out and give him fifty punishments." Yuan Shao sneered, and the poor scribe immediately turned into a punching bag. A sound of skin and flesh intersecting with wooden boards was heard. The scribe's scream seemed to calm down the anger in Yuan Shao's heart a lot. He frowned and asked
: "My generals and counselors, please discuss how to deal with Liu Zhang now?"
To be honest, based on the temperament of everyone under Yuan Shao, if they had a way to deal with Liu Zhang, they would have spoken out to show off. Why would they wait for Yuan Shao to ask questions? There was silence in the hall, but Yuan Shao's face became darker and darker.
"Gongze, Yuan Tu" Seeing that everyone was silent, Yuan Shao began to name names. Guo Tu and Feng Ji were the most active on weekdays, and Yuan Shao thought of them first.
"This..." Guo Tu and Feng Ji didn't have any ideas. They kept mumbling for a long time without saying a word.
"Are you unwilling to share your worries with me, or do you have no idea?" Yuan Shao's tone became colder, and Guo Tu and Feng Ji's legs were shaking a little. Seeing that the two of them were too scared to speak, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "On weekdays,
, you are the ones who fight the most fiercely, but now you have no idea, what do you think is the use of me raising you?"
"This subordinate deserves to die." Seeing that Yuan Shao's tone was serious but he did not mean to blame, Guo Tu quickly kowtowed and apologized.
"Forget it," Yuan Shao said coldly, "Let's think about how to deal with Liu Zhang."
"My lord, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not." In order to win over Xu You, Xinpi deliberately made friends with Fengji. Fengji admired Xinpi's talent very much and recommended him to Yuan Shao. Now, Xinpi
As a member of the army, he participated in Yuan Jun's military affairs
"Oh? George has an idea? Just tell him and let him know." Yuan Shao is very conspiratorial, but he has no choice now. Since Xinpi has an idea, even if it is wrong, he wants to hear it, maybe he can get some inspiration.
"Yes." Xin Pi bowed and said: "Actually, the reason why Liu Zhang's army is so powerful is entirely because of Xu Shu. Otherwise, how could Guan Yu and other generals have seen through the schemes of the gentlemen many times? Since Xu Shu is so powerful, let's find a way to get rid of him.
"
"Remove Xu Shu?" Yuan Shao asked with a smile: "Did George want to use a divorce tactic? This tactic cannot be based on Liu Zhang's character and trust in his subordinates. He cannot fall into the alienation tactic."
"Liu Zhang won't hit, so Xu Shu won't hit either?" Xin Pi said with a smile: "I heard that Xu Shu has his mother in the hall. If we assassinate her, Xu Shu will blame Liu Zhang for his mother's death. When the time comes,
Xu Shu is dissatisfied, and Liu Zhang has a grudge. There are many rifts between the two, and our army can benefit from it."
"What a plan." Yuan Shao laughed and said, "If we assassinate all Liu Zhang's advisers and generals' families, will we be able to instigate them all to rebel?"
"Ahem..." Xin Pi coughed twice when he heard this and said, "My lord, let alone say that we don't have that many dead soldiers. Even if we do, such a large-scale assassination will be detrimental to my lord's reputation and will make Liu Zhang's subordinates share the same enemy."
, some losses outweigh the gains.”
"Forget it," Yuan Shao said with a smile, "However, it is imperative to assassinate Xu Shu's mother. If the mother wants to blame, then blame her son for being against us."
"My lord is wise," Xinpi breathed a sigh of relief. He came up with this idea just to divert Yuan Shao's attention and rescue Fengji. You must know that Chang'an City is heavily guarded, and it would be extremely difficult to enter the inner city. To recruit one or two killers
It's all very difficult. If you want to assassinate so many people, you won't succeed without three to five hundred dead men. But three to five hundred dead men, even if they have wings, can't fly into the inner city of Chang'an.
"Well," Yuan Shao said with a smile, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. What do you think?"
"Don't you dare to serve your lord?" Xin Pi said with a smile: "It's just that Chang'an is heavily guarded and it's difficult for our dead soldiers to sneak in, let alone the inner city."
"Don't worry, George." Feng Ji smiled and said, "As for the dead soldiers who sneaked into the inner city of Chang'an, I have a few. If you just assassinate Xu Shu's mother, I can help you."
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Feng." Xinpi bowed and saluted, while Feng Ji quickly avoided it.
"We are both serving the lord, why are we so polite?" Fengji knew Xinpi's purpose for coming up with this idea and smiled at him with great satisfaction. This was also Xinpi's pledge to join Yuan Shang's party.
"Huh!"
"It seems that the discord between the Xin brothers is not groundless. Xin Pi can be used in the future." Feng Ji thought he had found a talent, but he didn't notice that Xu You, who was sitting next to Yuan Shao, was looking at him with hatred.
he.
After the accounts were settled, Xin Pi and Feng Ji reunited to communicate with each other and discuss how to assassinate Xu Shu's mother. Soon, they decided on a plan, and Xu Shu's mother was in danger.
Chang'an, Liu Zhang's residence.
"Aunt, just tell me. I also want to go to Jinyang to help my uncle." A young man with a ferocious face knelt in front of Mrs. Liu Zhang and asked for an expedition. Liu Zhang's wife was chatting with an old woman. This old woman
She is clearly the mother of Xu Shu.
Since Xu Shu came to Liu Zhang's service, Xu's mother often came to Liu Zhang's mansion to inquire about her son. I heard that Xu Shu had won many battles for Liu Zhang, and Xu's mother was both proud and worried. Almost none of Liu Zhang's wives had parents.
When she was here, she often stayed with Xu's mother to comfort her.
As for the young man kneeling there, he is Dian Wei's son Dian Man. When Dian Wei followed Liu Zhang, Dian Man was already three or four years old. Now that he is sixteen, he is very envious of Guan Ping who can go into battle with Guan Yu. Dian Man
He had talked to Dian Wei several times, but Dian Wei asked him to find Liu Zhang.
Unfortunately, before Dianman could mention it to Liu Zhang, the war in Jinyang had already begun. Without the orders of Liu Zhang and Dian Wei, Dianman did not dare to make the decision without authorization. No, in order to go to battle, Dianman almost became a frequent visitor to Liu Zhang's mansion. But Liu Zhang
The ladies are never allowed to participate in military affairs, so naturally they cannot speak for Norimitsu.
"Dianman, didn't I ask you to go find General Zhang Ren?" Cai Yan was talking while learning how to make clothes with Xu's mother. Since giving birth to a child, Cai Yan's little hands no longer only touch pen, ink and piano. Every year, she
She made several sets of clothes and shoes and socks for her son. Although these things can be bought, she feels that it is better for her mother to make them personal.
"I've been there," Dianman said with a wry smile. After he saw Zhang Ren and expressed his intention to come, Zhang Ren immediately enrolled him into the new military camp and trained him hard for more than half a year before driving him away. According to Zhang Ren
In other words, with his level, he can join the army and become a general.
"That's it," Cai Yan said with a smile, "General Zhang Ren says it's okay, so what else do you have to worry about?"
"Auntie, General Zhang said that I am qualified, but he did not recommend me to the lord. Now there is a war in Jinyang, and my nephew also wants to learn." Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, the son of a mouse can dig holes, this sentence is true.
.As the son of a military commander, Norimitsu’s blood is also full of violence.
"Didn't I say that I can't handle the matter of recommending generals? If you want to find a wife, I can help you introduce him." Cai Yan said with a smile: "You go to find General Zhang Ren, and he will be qualified to recommend generals."
"
"Auntie, General Zhang asked me to be the general who defends the city." Seeing that Cai Yan was unable to get in, Dianman became anxious and told the truth.
"Man'er, it's not like you don't know that our husband doesn't allow us to deal with military and political matters, so we really can't do anything about it." Cai Yan said with a smile, "If you beg us, you might as well be begging this person. She is the mother of Commander Xu."
"Commander Xu?" Dianman's eyes lit up when he heard this. Xu Shu dealt with foreigners in Quyang and dealt with Yuan Shao alone in Yangquan. Dianman was like thunder to his ears.
"I don't have this ability." Seeing Dianman looking at her, Xu's mother quickly shied away.
"Grandma Xu, please help me." Dianman is like a candy, one bite is a grandma.
Xu's mother was so beaten that she had no choice but to write a handwritten letter to Xu Shu who was far away in Yangquan. Holding the written letter, Xu's mother smiled helplessly and said: "Man'er, I wrote a letter to you. Please go up.
The battlefield is no child’s play, you have to be careful”
"Grandma Xu, don't worry, your grandson's martial arts may not be as good as his father, but he is better than Uncle Zhang Ren." To be honest, Dian Man's martial arts is also close to first-class. Otherwise, he would not succeed in history after Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Together with Xu Yi, he became the guard leader of the Cao family.
"Oh, I'm a little confused." After handing the letter to Dianman, Xu's mother said to Cai Yan, "Madam, that's it for today. I'm going back first."
"I'll see you off." Seeing that Xu's mother was about to leave, Cai Yan quickly stood up to see her off, and Dianman naturally followed.
Walking to the door, Xu's mother smiled and said to Cai Yan: "Madam, go back."
"Okay." Cai Yan turned around and was about to enter the house when suddenly there was a sound from a string and a short arrow shot over...
