"Let's surrender, surrender to the Sichuan army." Yuan Xi said.
Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Xi, was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Brother, are you crazy? The Sichuan army slaughtered all the families. Our Yuan family is the largest family. How can we surrender? Isn't this asking for death?"
"That's not necessarily true. There are still many aristocratic families in the Sichuan army. Aren't they living a good life? If we take the initiative to surrender, Liu Zhang will definitely accept it." Yuan Xi said.
"Second brother." Yuan Shang took a deep look at Yuan Xi and said quietly: "Is it because of your sister-in-law that you want to join the Sichuan Army? Do you hate Cao Pi?"
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, a look of painful hatred appeared on his face, as if he was willing to give up, and loudly said: "Yes, third brother, I just hate it, why did Cao Pi snatch Mi'er away? He doesn't even have hair.
Cao Zhi actually covets Mi'er, how shameless is the Cao family?
I am a man, Mi'er is mine, I must take Mi'er back, and I will cut Cao Pi and Cao Zhi into pieces."
When Yuan Xi said this, he held Yuan Shang's shoulder and said: "Third brother, do you know? I have never forgotten Cao Pi's revenge for taking his wife for a day in these years. During the last coup in Yecheng, Cao Pi actually rebelled because Mi'er helped the family.
Hum hum." A lewd smile appeared on Yuan Xi's face: "Cao Pi, a heinous man, has absolutely no conscience. When we cooperated with Sima Yi, didn't the Wei army's envoy say that he would soon abolish Cao Cao and make Cao Pi the leader?
King of Wei.
Damn it, Cao Pi actually has such luck. The better Cao Pi's life is, the more I hate him. I must kill him and chop him alive. Only the Sichuan Army can help us with this.
If we can hold the Great Wall, that's it. The key is that the Sichuan army is stronger than we imagined, and we are pushed out by the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to use as human shields. If we continue to hold on, we will only be destroyed.
In this case, why should we wait until we surrender to the Sichuan Army? It doesn't matter what official position we hold. As long as we can kill Cao Pi, I, Yuan Xi, will die in peace. Third brother, do you understand the second brother's difficulties?"
"Second brother." Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Xi complicatedly, and after a while he said: "Second brother, I understand your mood, but it's useless for me to understand you. The Sichuan Army must understand you.
You said that there are aristocratic families in the Sichuan Army, but those people are either the Sichuan Army who resisted the great talents, or those who followed Liu Zhang during the several turmoils of the Sichuan Army. Who do our Yuan family count?
Although so many years have passed, the influence of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family is still there. We have no ties to Liu Zhang and we are not great talents. Will Liu Zhang let us go?
It doesn't matter what official position the second brother holds, it doesn't matter to me either, but I'm afraid that after surrender I won't be able to become a civilian.
Even if my second brother and I are willing to surrender, will the rest of the Yuan family be willing to surrender? Will they really accept the Four Imperial Examinations and the Land Order? If they rebel, we will be dead.
And those people in the army are too involved with their families. Will they surrender?
And second brother, I know you really want to take your sister-in-law back, but does second brother really think that the Sichuan army defeated Cao Pi, so will he return your sister-in-law to you?
The Sichuan Army's policy has always been to reward the enemy's wives and concubines for deployment or to serve in camps. My sister-in-law is so beautiful, but my second brother's turn is never your turn."
Yuan Shang felt uncomfortable living under Wuhuan for these years, let alone surrendering to the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army was incompatible with the family and there were too many uncertainties. Yuan Shang was afraid and did not dare to surrender.
Yuan Xi was silent when he heard Yuan Shang's last words. Yes, his wife was so beautiful, and the two sons of the Cao family were trying to snatch her away. After returning to the Sichuan Army, he had neither talent nor bravery, and was from a family background. How could it be his turn?
Own?
In fact, in Yuan Xi's heart, it doesn't matter what official position or family, as long as he can get Zhen Mi back, but after listening to Yuan Shang's words, what should he do if Zhen Mi can't get it?
Seeing Yuan Xi's hesitation, Yuan Shang was thinking about countermeasures when he suddenly had an idea and said to Yuan Xi: "Second brother, I have thought of a good way, which may allow second brother to take back his sister-in-law."
"Oh, really? What can I do?" Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shang, his eyes shining.
Yuan Shangdao said: "We have better abandon the defense and no longer defend the Great Wall. We will go directly to Sun Kang, the governor of Pingzhou, Liaodong." Gongsun Kang's father, Gongsun Du, named himself the governor of Pingzhou, Liaodong. After Gongsun Du's death, his son Gongsun Kang inherited it.
"Gongsun Kang?" Yuan Xi pondered.
"Yes." Yuan Shang of Yushu Linfeng said: "When Gongsun Kang's father Gongsun Du first came to Liaodong, he was threatened by Gongsun Zan, and it was Gongsun Zan who was controlled by his father. Liaodong has always been close to our Yuan family. If we go to Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Kang will inevitably
Accept.
Liaodong is remote. The Sichuan army will definitely attack Jizhou directly after crossing the Great Wall. We will not go on an expedition to Liaodong. We will surrender to the Sichuan army after the Sichuan army captures Hebei.
At that time, the main force of the Sichuan army was in Jizhou, which was further away from Liaodong. Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, would definitely agree to our surrender. We don't want anything else but my sister-in-law. Wouldn't that be great?
If we think it is not important enough, we will kill Gongsun Kang directly when the time comes, and the Sichuan army will get Liaodong in vain, so how can they be reluctant to part with a woman?"
What Yuan Shang actually thinks is that if he surrenders to the Sichuan Army now, there are too many variables. If he goes to Liaodong, which is very remote, generally speaking, the rulers will allow a few powerful people in the marginal areas, and maybe he will not have to worry about his life all the time.
.
Yuan Xi pondered, and felt that Yuan Shang's idea was good. If Gongsun Du had not carefully managed Liaodong, almost no one would have cared about that barren land, and it might have been annexed by Goguryeo in the east.
Such a place was given to the Sichuan Army for nothing. If it were a woman, she would certainly not be reluctant to part with it.
In Yuan Xi's heart, although Liu Zhang was cruel, and although the Sichuan army liked to use widows and other things to reward soldiers, they were unambiguous in major matters. A woman in Liaodong would definitely do it.
"Third brother, I didn't expect you to be so resourceful. If your sister-in-law comes back one day, second brother will be grateful to you forever." Yuan Xi said excitedly.
"We are brothers, what we say is what we do."
The Sichuan army launched another attack, and Yuan Shang said: "Defend again and retreat eastward tonight."
Yuan Xi nodded.
…
In the central town of the Sichuan Army, Zhe Lanying was sitting on a chair holding a sword. She was the general with the highest title and the highest rank in the army in Shanggu. Apart from Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying, Zhe Lanying was the eldest, so she was naturally the commander-in-chief.
"Master Marquis, I have never seen such a war. The attackers suffered so many fewer casualties than the defenders. When those vine-armored troops rushed forward, the enemy had to push them back, otherwise it would be a one-sided killing."
A Ke is now used to being called Marquis Zhe Lanying. When Liu Zhang used the Teng Jia troops north of the Tianshan Mountains, A Ke didn't see it because he was seriously injured, so he didn't have such an intuitive impression. Now that he sees the Teng Jia soldiers attacking the city, he sighs.
The weapons are awesome.
Seeing that Zhe Lanying lowered his head and said nothing, Ake said to Zhe Lanying: "Master Marquis, I think we only need to step up the offensive and let General Wang Yue go up, without the follow-up troops, we can take down the Great Wall in one fell swoop."
It had only been a day since the siege of the city before the vanguard troops arrived. There were still a large number of troops behind, but the Great Wall defense line guarded by tens of thousands of Yuan troops had begun to loosen, and Akko really didn't want to leave the mark.
"Ah, what did you say?" Zhe Lanying raised her head and looked at Akko blankly.
Ako was stunned for a moment, what was this? The battle was still going on, and the coach was wandering away from home. Only then did Ako realize that Zhe Lanying had lowered his head just now, with a little smile on his face.
"Let's attack like this until the lord arrives." After Akko repeated it, Zhe Lanying stretched out and said casually, this battle was really easy.
Zhe Lanying knew Liu Zhang's plan, and it was useless to step up the offensive to capture the Great Wall now. He had to wait for the army to gather before he could divide his troops and set up pocket formations.
It's not worth stepping up the offensive and increasing casualties.
At this time, Akko asked Zhe Lanying in a low voice: "Master Hou, is there any happy event? I see you are happy?"
"How can I be happy anymore? If you slander your superiors, be careful that I, the Marquis, will deal with you as a warlord." Zhe Lanying said harshly to Akko with a cold face, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Continue to attack the city, the lord should be here tonight.
I think the Yuan family's army can only last until noon tomorrow at most."
"Yes." Ako touched his nose. He had been fighting with Zhe Lanying for several years. Zhe Lanying was always very serious on the battlefield and did not dare to be careless in marching and formation. Ako knew that Zhe Lanying was afraid of failure.
.
This is because the previous Di Renjun always suffered a defeat and could not be defeated. Especially after Zhe Lanying returned to the grassland from Chang'an, she was even more afraid of failure. Even if she had a strong advantage, she never let her guard down.
But even if the Sichuan army now has an absolute advantage, it shouldn't have changed so much. It actually lost its focus.
At nightfall, Liu Zhang led his rear troops to the front line. Just as he was preparing to rest, Zhe Lanying walked in from outside wearing a military uniform.
"Husband, our army has occupied the Great Wall."
"Oh?" Liu Zhang looked at Zhe Lanying in surprise: "So fast, didn't Yuan's army have thirty or forty thousand men? I thought they could hold on for at least a few days. Zhe Lan is really amazing."
Under Liu Zhang's pull, Zhe Lanying sat on the chair and snorted, "My husband overestimated Yuan Jun. Those soldiers basically have no combat power. If they want to defend, they will capture it at most tomorrow. But this time they all
When he ran away, our patrolling soldiers found out and stormed in."
"Run away?" Liu Zhang frowned: "It's really fast, well, it's not good."
"What's the matter, husband?" Zhe Lanying saw Liu Zhang frowning and suddenly became nervous, fearing that she had fallen into some kind of trick.
"We must move the army to the Great Wall now, and wait until the Great Wall is captured before we can divide our forces. Now is the time when there are the most loopholes. If the Yuan brothers don't return to the alien army at this time, and run away by themselves, there will be alien armies behind us to contain us. We still have to
Can't catch up with them.
The Yuan brothers gave up their only fortress and ran away, which must not have been the intention of the leader of the foreign army, so they probably really ran away."
"Ah?" Zhe Lanying can organize troops, but analyzing the overall situation of these battles is not her strong point. After the Di people's power expanded, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, Zhe Lanying would not be very good at management. She asked this question in every battle.
Zhuge Liang planned it.
When she heard that the Yuan brothers had run away, Zhe Lanying suddenly became worried: "I'm sorry, husband, it's Zhe Lan's fault."
"The Yuan brothers want to run away on their own, what's wrong with you? Is my Zhe Lan responsible for their legs?" Liu Zhang looked at Zhe Lanying strangely.
Zhe Lanying smiled, then suddenly lost her senses, and said in a low voice: "Husband, Zhe Lan could have captured the Great Wall today. A Ke also gave me some advice. As long as Wang Yue leads the army to attack fiercely, he will definitely be able to do it.
But I thought about waiting for the army to gather, so I didn't agree.
If Zhelan listens to Ake and takes the Great Wall today, or attacks overnight, the Yuan brothers will definitely not be able to escape, and it's all Zhelan's fault."
Liu Zhang suddenly thought of why Zhe Lanying did not attack fiercely. One was because of casualties, and the other was to cooperate with the big battle. He stretched out his hand to hold Zhe Lanying into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Zhe Lan is doing this for the sake of the overall situation. I am doing this for the sake of the overall situation."
It's nothing, and the Yuan brothers and their soldiers are at least Han Chinese, so it doesn't matter if they run away for the time being. If they can run away, the monks won't be able to run away from the temple."
"Just comfort me." Zhe Lanying leaned against Liu Zhang and smiled, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Zhang: "Husband, are you planning such a big strategy this time just for me?"
"You?" Liu Zhang looked at Zhe Lanying: "Don't be sentimental. I am doing this to completely eliminate hidden dangers in the grassland. What does it have to do with you?"
"Hehe, if it really doesn't matter, my husband won't understand what Zhelan means right away." Zhelanying smiled happily. Although she had led the army for many years, she still looked like a little girl at this moment.
In fact, Zhe Lanying was not a person who wanted to fight on the battlefield. When she wanted to lead the army in war, it was just a little girl's idea. She just wanted to find excitement after living a comfortable life for too long.
At that time, Cao Xian never imagined that he would become Zhe Lanying today.
Since she escaped from marriage, many things have been forced. Because of the Sichuan army's invasion of the Diren Valley, Zhe Lanying had to wander with the Diren and had to fight. Later, because Beigongzhi died at the hands of the Sichuan army, she had to
Enter the grassland to expand your power.
Later I learned that Liu Zhang was Beigong Zhi. For Liu Zhang's great cause, he had to stay in the grassland and fight. It was almost forced. In fact, Zhe Lanying had long been tired of it and was very tired.
In the past few years, due to forced wars, Zhe Lanying had no choice but to win. When the Di people fought in Xiliang, if they were defeated, the entire army would be annihilated. Later, if they went to the grassland, if they were defeated, they would be swept away by the Xianbei people.
Later, when Liu Zhang went to the Western Regions for more than half a year, Zhe Lanying was even more afraid of failure and afraid that Liu Zhang would hear the news of the grassland's defeat before he died. During those half a year, Zhe Lanying was not worried every day.
Until now, Zhe Lanying felt that she was finally free. If the Sichuan army was still too early to be reunified, Zhe Lanying would immediately hand over military power. But now, Zhe Lanying feels that the wait for reunification will not be too long.
At that time, it must have been a great feeling for me as a female general to become a founding father.
But that's all. This is just a little girl's interesting thoughts. She thinks that would be very honorable and happy. But when it comes to military life, Zhe Lanying actually doesn't want to fight for a long time. (To be continued.)
