Yangzhou!
Shouchun.
Zhong Tianzi's palace.
The atmosphere in the entire palace was very oppressive.
Yuan Shu's face darkened.
A few days ago, Qiao Rui went out of the city to stop Xiahou Dun. However, before she could set up her tent and set up fortifications, she was bumped into by Xiahou Dun, who was rushing over.
The two armies fought, and Qiao Rui was killed by Xiahou Dun. Out of the 50,000 soldiers, 40,000 escaped.
When the news came back, Yuan Shu felt a little heartache, but he could still accept it.
However, today's news caused his mentality to collapse.
Out of the 50,000 soldiers, 40,000 had died, and only 4,000 to 5,000 had escaped.
Even his favorite general, Ji Ling, had died at the hands of Cao Jun.
What was even more ridiculous was…
After the remaining soldiers returned, they seemed to have been scared out of their wits and lost their souls. They kept muttering about the divine weapons descending from the sky and being invincible!
Wasn't this disrupting the morale of the army?
He, Yuan Shugui, was the Son of Heaven. He was the heavens, and the soldiers under him were the divine weapons!
As for the Cao army, they were all traitors!
"Report!"
All of a sudden, a loud shout rang out, scaring all the civil and military officials in the hall.
What happened?
Could it be that the Cao army is attacking the city?
Everyone was worried and frightened.
That Cao Jun was amazing.
They were definitely no match for him.
It was better to open the city and surrender. Perhaps there would be a way out.
In any case, the one who died was Yuan Shu. There was no need for them, the aristocrats of Yangzhou, to be buried with Yuan Shu.
"Your Majesty, the Cao army is outside the city.”
the messenger said in panic.
"How can you be so flustered?"
Yuan Shu glared at the messenger and asked," How many people did Cao Cao send?”
"About five thousand."
Only five thousand?
Yuan Shu smiled disdainfully." Five thousand and you're already so scared. Men, chop him up."”
"Ah?"
The messenger stared at Yuan Shu in disbelief.
It was not until two soldiers came in and grabbed his arm and dragged him out that two streams of hot tears slowly rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent."
Crack!
The screams stopped abruptly.
All the civil and military officials were afraid.
Yuan Shu didn't show any expression. He just looked down and said,""Who is willing to go out and annihilate the Cao army to show off our might?”
"I'm willing to go. I'll definitely take General Cao's head and bring it back to present to my lord.”A valiant general stepped forward.
Yuan Shu saw that it was Le Jiu, and his martial arts skills were not inferior to Ji Ling's.
"Yes."
"You will lead 20,000 troops out of the city to kill the enemy.”
Yuan Shu waved his hand, and Le Jiu cupped his hands and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
A person suddenly walked out and shouted.
"Sir, what do you want to say?" Seeing that it was Yan Xiang who spoke, Yuan Shu hurriedly stopped laughing and asked.
"Your Majesty, you must not leave the city to face the enemy.”Yan Xiang cupped his hands.
"Why?" Yuan Shu frowned." That Cao army killed 50,000 of my soldiers and killed Qiao Rui and Ji Ling. This hatred must be paid with blood."”
"The Cao army only has 5,000 people to challenge us. If I don't fight, won't that Cao Aman think that I'm afraid of him?”
"It's not good for morale either."
Yan Xiang looked helpless.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao has sent 200,000 troops over. It is not easy to supply food and grass, so we must fight quickly.”
"He came to challenge you because he wants you to go out of the city to fight him so that he can use this opportunity to attack my city.”
"Your Majesty must not be fooled. You should close the city and defend. When Cao Cao's army runs out of food, he will retreat.”
The surrounding civil and military officials nodded repeatedly.”
They had to close the city and defend to the death in order to survive.
"No!"
Yuan Shu shook his head and said angrily," That Cao Aman is merely the descendant of a eunuch. Back then, when the Wild Date Meeting was held, he had thousands of soldiers and horses. He is only worthy of being my subordinate.”
"Who does he think he is? He actually dares to lead an army to attack me and kill tens of thousands of my soldiers. If I don't teach him a lesson, how can I swallow this anger?”
Yan Xiang advised again," Your Majesty, as the most respected person in the world, you should be tolerant of others and tolerate what ordinary people can't. Just let Cao Cao be proud for a few days. Why bother with him?"”
The surrounding civil and military officials were all worried for Yan Xiang.
Although he was right, he couldn't be so straightforward.
However, Yuan Shu only gave Yan Xiang a helpless glance and did not get angry. He had made up his mind to send troops out of the city.
"I have 20,000 soldiers against Cao Cao's 5,000. There is also the valiant general Le Jiu.”
"Sir, you don't have to persuade me, I've made up my mind.”
Yan Xiang let out a long sigh and didn't say anything else.
Yuan Shu waved his hand.”
When the attendant came up with the wine cup, Yuan Shu smiled and said,""Le Jiu, drink this cup of wine first, then lead your troops out of the city and bring the enemy's head back to see me.”
When he saw this, he immediately thought of the time when Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong at Tiger Cage Pass. He couldn't help but feel ambitious.
Today, I'm happy to spread my name all over the world!
"Please pour the wine!"
"My lord and everyone, wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon.”
Laughing loudly, Le Jiu walked out of the hall with his weapon in hand.
"Someone, call the dancer in. We'll wait slowly.”Yuan Shu waved his hand and began to enjoy himself.
On the other side.
Le Jiu called up 20,000 cavalrymen, opened the city gate, and rushed out.
In the distance.
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle with Guo Jia, was overjoyed when he saw Yuan Jun leave the city.""He's here."
"Yi An is truly a divine foresight."
Guo Jia nodded." Yi An's talent is above mine. Not only is he good at planning, but he also knows how to lead troops. He will be the Lord's right-hand man."”
Cao Cao smiled.
"With filial piety and peace, why worry about the world being restless!”
"The two of you are my arms, and it's also my fortune!”
Guo Jia was touched, but he didn't say anything.
