Chapter 643 Troubled parties and ecstatic Cao Cao
When Yuan Shao planned to plot against Lu Bu and Cao Cao, he didn't know that there was another person in the north who was extremely angry. He was no one else, but Gongsun Zan of Youzhou...
"Bang."
Gongsun Zan threw the bamboo slips heavily on the ground. Guan Jing, who had just walked into the room, was stunned and silently picked up the bamboo slips on the ground. He looked at Gongsun Zan who was breathing heat, and then read the bamboo slips...
"Yuan Shao and Han Fu conspired to enthrone Liu Yu as emperor, and they wanted to send troops to attack him. What do the soldiers think?"
"Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor without authorization, and all the princes raised troops to attack. As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao not only suffered defeat and lost his troops, but also seized Jizhou for his own selfish desires. What is the difference between Jizhou? Jizhou will also be uneasy. The lord sent troops to conquer at this time, and Jizhou can get it."
Guan Jing was not anxious or slow down, and Gongsun Zan's anxiety gradually dissipated and he nodded silently.
"What Shi Qi said is very good, so I will raise my troops now!"
Gongsun Zan was angry about Yuan Shao's use, and did not hesitate. He personally led 30,000 troops into Jizhou. As Guan Jing said, after he entered Jizhou, all counties along the way surrendered. For a moment, Jizhou was in chaos, and at the same time, Qinghe County, which was close to the Yellow River, was also in chaos.
Yuan Tan and Wen Chou came with thousands of soldiers. After learning that Yuan Shao was going to use Qinghe County as the chicken that scared monkeys, Qinghe County Prince's Mansion was in chaos. Liu Sheng hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss.
Dong Hu left him 50,000 prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army, but he lost a lot in Kaifeng. Although there were still some at home, they were all old and weak, and a group of people bowed their heads and said nothing. The more they did, the more panicked Liu Sheng was in. At this moment, a young man hurried in with an unspeakable panic on his face...
"Dad, Wen Chou led his men to kill outside the city..."
"Bang!"
He smashed the wine bottle to the ground heavily, and Liu Sheng was angry and frightened. Liu Qi, who broke in, seemed to be frightened and dazen to move...
"well……"
A gray-haired old man sighed and stood up, smiled bitterly and punched Liu Sheng.
"The boys are gone, we...we can no longer fight..."
The old man said, and the atmosphere in the hall was heavy again. After a while, the cold-faced man stood up and spoke.
"Uncle San said that if the brothers are still there, even if they can't go out of the city to fight Yuan Shao, it's still OK to defend Ganling City to the death. We just need to rescue Luoyang, but now..."
All the generals in the hall were members of the Yellow Turban Army. Some people still had the mark of the word "Dong" on their foreheads. Tens of thousands of men left Qinghe County, and only a few thousand returned. Everyone had an indescribable resentment in their hearts, but they had no capital.
Liu Sheng opened his mouth repeatedly and slapped himself in the face with a "slap", which scared several people in the hall to stand up in horror.
"Everyone, everything is Liu's fault. Liu shouldn't believe that damn Yuan Shao!"
"Now is the moment of life and death for all of us. If the Ganling City Gate is broken, Yuan Shao will definitely cut off Liu's head. No one in Liu's family can survive. But you should also know that even if Yuan Shao's dog thief takes all our lives, he will never let you go. He will use all our lives to scare all counties and countries!"
Liu Sheng stood up and punched everyone.
"General Sun is right, but we haven't lost yet. As long as we guard Ganling City, even if Luoyang doesn't come to save us, Zhang Yi will definitely come to save us!"
Liu Sheng had said this in public. Zhang Yi had crossed the Wanqinghe Army in his hands, and all of them were captured by the Yellow Turban Army. Their family was also in Qinghe County. If they learned that family was in a life-and-death crisis, even if Zhang Yi was unwilling to come to rescue, his soldiers would come to rescue him.
However, Chenliu County needs to cross the East County four or five hundred miles from west to east. Not to mention whether Ganling City can hold on for a month, how could Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, allow Zhang Yi to lead tens of thousands of troops across the East County? What's more, there is still a war in Dong County at this time.
A group of people whispered to each other, and Liu Sheng looked at them with a gaze, hoping that they could fight to the death...
"Or let's fight. When Zhang Yi comes, it's good to go to Chenliu County together."
"Uncle San said that when Zhang Yi became the prefect of Chenliu County, we should go..."
"Okay! Just say something useless... Liu Dai gathered 100,000 troops in Dongjun. Can they let us go to Chenliu?"
...
Everyone discussed for a while and finally returned to the starting point. No one could be sure whether Zhang Yi could penetrate the entire Dongjun. He was worried that nearly 100,000 soldiers would be besieged...
However, they had no way out.
"Since we don't give us a way out, let's fight and fight with them!"
"We agree!"
"As great as soon as we die, we will fight them!"
...
There is no way to retreat, and no matter how you die, Liu Sheng tried his best and personally walked the wealthy families in the city, visiting each family...
Liu Sheng knew that all the princes seemed to have unattainable rights, but that was just on the surface. In fact, all the princes had an extremely fatal flaw, that is, they could not obtain food to feed their troops through normal taxes.
If you cannot obtain money and food through normal channels, it can only be an abnormal means. What are an abnormal means?
Liu Sheng really fought this time. After visiting one by one, he immediately crawled to the top of the city wearing armor. No matter how afraid he was, Yuan Shao had already forced him to this point and could only fight to the death...
There were more than a dozen family elderly people sitting in the hall of Zhang Mansion. What was strange was that none of them spoke, all of them frowned, as if there were something extremely difficult to decide...
"I believe in Liu Sheng's words. If Yuan Benchu wants to support 100,000 troops, he will have to get money and food from our family."
Old Master Zhang looked at everyone and sighed: "If Yuan Benchu talked to our family with kind words, we don't have to worry too much, but now... I am even more worried that Yuan Shao will become the second Dong Zhuo."
The old man of the Li family nodded silently and frowned: "Liu Sheng's words are a bit correct. As long as he guards Ganling City and as long as he leaves Qinghe County, Yuan Benchu will not dare to attack us and other families. Will we help him?"
Everyone nodded silently. No one could be sure whether Yuan Shao would swallow them up after killing Liu Sheng, but one thing was certain that as long as Liu Sheng was defeated, Qinghe County would definitely change the world. If the prefect of Qinghe County was replaced by Yuan Tan, each family would have to surrender to Yuan Family.
It’s not that all families cannot surrender. The key is that as each family bows down, half of the families will definitely fall in the hall. It is not enough to rely on the land of Liu Sheng’s family alone...
"What do you think of that Lintao child?"
The old man of the Ma family suddenly spoke, and everyone frowned. Dong Hu became famous in Liangzhou ten years ago. Although the pride of various major families does not allow them to look up to the yang Zatang boy, how can they dare to underestimate the children who "three strategies to destroy the world" after these years?
Although he was disdainful, he attached great importance to Dong Hu in his heart and was even afraid of it. Many wealthy families of aristocratic families regarded him as their research subject and were not unfamiliar with him, but...
"I thought I could help Liu Sheng. If Dong Xining could accept Liu Sheng, we might as well give it a try."
Old Master Zhang spoke, but he didn't say what "try" was, but others seemed to know what the old man meant.
"Dong Xining is indeed strange. He has a great grudge with Yan Xing, but he asked his father Yan Zhong to be the governor of Liangzhou, Zhang Yike to be the prefect of Chenliu, and Shi Hou is also the prefect of a county... He seems to value friendship more, and I think he can give it a try."
"If you think you can give it a try, I will go home and prepare."
"The world is in chaos, and it would be great if my children and grandchildren have a place to go..."
After discussing some details, a group of old men decided to help Liu Sheng. At this time, Liu Sheng was scolding Yuan Tan and Wen Chou.
Anyway, it was a broken-down. Liu Sheng, who had no way out, was considered brave. He pointed at Yuan Tan and cursed for a quarter of an hour. Wen Chou was so angry that he waved his hand and was about to attack the city immediately, but he had only a few thousand soldiers, and he did not expect Liu Sheng to lead his troops to resist.
The princes gathered in various ways. Not to mention the timid disdain of Liu Sheng, even the soldiers at the bottom always regarded him as a joke. Yuan Tan and Wen Chou naturally did not believe that he dared to block the city gate and rebel, but Liu Sheng was brave once.
Yuan Tan pointed at Liu Sheng and cursed again, and persuaded him with kind words, but Liu Sheng was like a turtle eating a weight, determined to defend the city gate, which was a bit tricky for a while...
"General, the last general thinks that he will ignore him for the time being. After we recruit soldiers from various counties and the people are strong, we will chop his head again..."
"snort!"
Yuan Tan waved his hand to stop Wen Chou's words, looked coldly at Liu Sheng on the top of the city, and suddenly turned his horse's head.
"Tian Kai, lead five hundred troops to Beiqiu."
"Zhou Fan, lead five hundred troops to Ling County."
...
He came and went in a hurry. Liu Sheng's tense strings relaxed, but he knew that Yuan Tan and Wen Chou would never retreat easily, and it would definitely be a bloody battle when he came again.
As Guo Sheng thought, in just three days, Yuan Tan Wenchou forcibly recruited 20,000 people and a fierce siege began...
The Heishan Army of Lucai Mountain was attacked by Du, Zhang Luo and Wei Gu for half a month, and thousands of casualties were killed or injured, but they failed to take down the strong city. Just as dozens of leaders were clamoring whether to steal the money and grain from other counties first, two bad news suddenly came from behind. As Xu You expected, when Lu Bu learned that Lucai Mountain had countless money and grain, he suddenly entered Lucai Mountain, which had empty troops.
When the bad news came, Yu Du almost fell on his back. Countless people were furious and wanted to turn back and kill back to Hanoi. Zhang He and Gao Lan stationed 20,000 troops in Yu Liyang, blocking more than 100,000 people on the south bank of the Yellow River...
Yu Du, Zhang Luo, and Guan Gu were unable to cross the river and kill back to the north bank of the Yellow River, and Yuan Shao was unable to catch it. Gongsun Zan led an army of 30,000 to attack Jizhou, Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and many people defected to Jizhou. For a moment, the people of Jizhou were panic.
In Yanzhou and Jizhou, the chaos in Jizhou was in chaos. Daya, who had just sent the harvested autumn grain to Taicang, was paying attention to it silently. Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Zhang Yi, Liu Bian, Cai Yong, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Liu Yu were paying attention, and Cao Cao was always ready. When Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and others sent the letters they were looking forward to day and night to Qiao County...
"Ha ha……"
Cao Cao laughed to the sky.
"Zhicai..."
Cao Cao spoke instinctively, and then he remembered that Xi Zhicai had passed away, and the joy disappeared in an instant, but soon, Cao Cao adjusted his mind and looked at everyone with a serious look.
"This battle is only allowed to win, not lose!"
All the generals clasped their fists together.
Chapter completed!
