Chapter 129 Yuan Shao Wants to Know What Yuan Tan Is Doing
Yuan Shao began a second crusade against Gongsun Zan.
Although Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the Central Plains, Yuan Shu fought fiercely against Liu Biao, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans ravaged Qingzhou.
However, the vicious battle in the North still attracted the attention of people all over the world.
Because Gongsun Zan suffered a lot in the battle of Jieqiao, he did not take the initiative to fight, but chose to defend in Yijing.
Yijing is located in the northern border of Hejian County, Jizhou, which is the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou.
Here, Gongsun Zan built a huge fortress and named it Yijing.
The fortress faces Yishui in the south, and it was originally just a barren highland without a name.
However, the terrain here is excellent. In history, Gongsun Zan dug ten trenches around here, and the excavated earth was piled up on the high ground to build camps and garrison troops.
The Yijing Fortress in the center is as high as ten feet, and stores millions of dendrobium of grain and grass inside.
Although there are many deviations from history, Gongsun Zan still chooses this best place to confront Yuan Jun.
Although the Yishui River is a small river, due to its existence, Yuan Jun's extremely superior force was unable to line up in front of the Yijing Fortress.
This put Yuan Jun's offense into a dilemma.
this day.
The entire building of the Yijing Fortress was blown by ancient tools such as rockets and trebuchets, and smoke was everywhere.
With the arrival of dusk, Yuan Jun stopped attacking, and the battlefield began to become quiet.
But people's hearts are not peaceful.
In front of the Yijing Fortress, corpses were scattered all over the place. Although there were not too many broken limbs and arms, the smashed corpses were bleeding like rivers.
Burnt charred corpses exude a stench. There are still screams of soldiers waiting to die, converging into a scene like hell.
By the Yishui River, Yuan Shao's expression was gloomy.
At this time, Yuan Jun gathered here, just like the past few days, the battalion was full of wounded soldiers, mourning everywhere.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were sweating on their foreheads, thirsty and hungry, but they dared not eat or drink.
Although generals like Yan Liangwen Chou are better, they are not much better.
Obviously, with repeated failures, Yuan Jun's attack became more difficult.
But upstairs in Yijing City, it was a different scene.
Gongsun Zan was full of confidence, sitting on the mat, deliberately drinking some wine, looking at the battlefield below, and said to the people around him, "Can Yuan Shao be as comfortable as I am now? Who else can be as comfortable as me?"
But these words also showed that he was not reconciled to the failure to withdraw from Jizhou, and it is rebellious to say these things now.
However, his current state is indeed very comfortable. Who can drink rice wine and eat cold food during a big battle?
The mentality of his generals was not as relaxed as Gongsun Zan's at the moment, although judging from the current situation, it was impossible for Yuan Jun to break through the Yijing Fortress.
Moreover, the main force of Yuan Jun was massacred, and the time for Gongsun Jun's counterattack was getting closer.
But the Yuan family had already established a firm foothold in Jizhou, and Gongsun's army was powerless to invade Jizhou. Given the barrenness of the Gongsun army's territory, it is difficult to sustain the Yuan family.
Tian Yu, Shan Jing, these generals of Youzhou are very worried about the future, but they still have to live. Perhaps there are still variables in the future, and at this moment, they are also gearing up, waiting to go out of the city to counterattack.
"Look, my lord, Yuan Jun has retreated!" Tian Kai pointed with joy.
"Hehehe..., within three days, Yuan Shao and his son will be killed!" Gongsun Zan smiled lightly, feeling relaxed and happy, and drank the Juezhong Zhuojiu in one gulp.
The generals were a little puzzled. Although Yuan Jun was defeated repeatedly, within three days, how could this be possible?
In fact, Gongsun Zan had secretly contacted the Huns.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Huns will arrive at the battlefield today, and they will become the sharp blade to kill Yuan Shao.
Gongsun Zan kept this matter a secret from everyone, including his son, and none of his followers informed him.
After all, the Youzhou army, including the Gongsun army, fought against the Huns for generations, and my father had a deep hatred throughout his life.
No matter whether people say that he is a nest of snakes or rats, or that he is a gangster, for the sake of victory, he doesn't care so much.
But Yuan Shao hadn't eaten or drank all day,
Suffering such suffering again, he had to order a retreat.
on the other hand.
The rays of the setting sun shone on the land south of Yishui.
In the rear of Yuan Jun's company battalion, the logistics camp.
In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, a bonfire was burning.
On the shelf next to the campfire, there are all kinds of meat skewers, exuding the aroma of barbecue.
Although the smell of barbecue is similar, but this season is the most unique and tempting.
Yuan Tan sat by the campfire, writing in his diary.
On March 15, 192 AD, it was sunny....
Yuan Jun failed to attack Yijing for two months, and I had nothing to do, so I was playing in the camp.
In fact, people here do not know the AD, but only know that it is the third year of Chuping, which is the third year of the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, Yuan Tan's diary is very unique. It was bought from a department store, and it also has a pen, but the writing is a bit crooked.
However, he didn't care about his bad handwriting.
Were they all shocked when they didn't see Dian Wei?
No matter how bad my brother's writing is, at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is also the strongest simplified calligraphy.
Hehehe.... He feels good about himself.
Dian Wei and the others were indeed shocked by the simplified characters. What is the eldest son writing about?
"This must be a magical spell." Dian Wei said. Ever since he peeked at Yuan Tan smoking, he thought that the eldest son was a god, a real dragon who could spit clouds and mist.
Only he knows about it.
Although he won't tell others, encountering magical items or other things will always affect others subjectively.
This also made Yuan Tan more and more mysterious in the hearts of the followers.
"My lord, your waist, your waist!" Seeing Yuan Tan in a daze, Dian Wei had to greet and remind him repeatedly.
"Waist? By the way, my big waist!" Yuan Tan hurriedly threw the pen to look through the waist.
Fire-roasted big kidney...he likes to eat it.
The second dog of the personal guard stood guard a little far away, and couldn't help but said to his companion Zhao Daniu: "Actually, the roasted kidney of the eldest son is not as good as mine. You can see that many places are scorched, which means that the roast is uneven..."
"Er Gouzi, have you ever eaten big kidneys?" Zhao Daniu couldn't help asking.
"No……."
"Haven't you baked?"
"..." Er Gouzi.
Shaoqing.
Yuan Tan became impatient with the primitive grilling method, so he immediately went back to the inner tent and bought a professional grill from a department store, the kind that could stand on four legs and grill.
There is such a tool! Dian Wei and the others were dumbfounded again.
Then, he took out cumin powder, chili noodles, a plate of light soy sauce, and finally barbecue sauce.
OMG!
Er Gouzi and the others gradually became extremely astonished.
"What are you all watching?"
Er Gouzi was the first to turn around when he heard the words, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and felt ashamed that he had left his post without authorization.
After all, the guard should look outside, not the eldest son.
Looking at the words of the eldest son, how can you find the bad guys?
But I just can't help it.
"Military Master, the eldest son has never seen this kind of barbecue before, especially the seasoning, it's too powerful." Er Gouzi sighed, many of them were burnt, and suddenly they became the best in the world.
"Really?" Guo Jia heard it.
The sheep sausage, mixed with Baoyou, cumin and chili powder, has become the most beautiful taste in the world.
The kidneys are roasted three times, and the gods can't stand still.
Guo Jia doesn't like money, doesn't like women, and doesn't like power.
Apart from the satisfaction of being determined to assist Mingzhu to fight for world hegemony, his only hobby is to drink a few sips, so he pays special attention to appetizers.
Drooling walked over.
"Feng Xiao is here." Yuan Tan greeted, "Come here, just baked, try it."
In fact, Yuan Tan is not good at women. He likes money because department stores like money, so he has to like it. Like power, is to survive in troubled times.
He is the only one who pays most attention to food.
Therefore, Guo Jia and Guo Jia are also like-minded, a nest of snakes and rats.
on the other hand.
Yuan Shao is withdrawing his troops.
Although Gongsun Zan didn't chase him out to fight.
But for Yuan Jun, it was also a defeat.
The failure of the attack over the past few days has made the morale of the entire army more and more low.
Yuan Shao walked in the middle and could feel the dissatisfaction around him.
He suddenly thought of Yuan Tan.
Since he put his eldest son Xuezang to be in charge of food and grass, he has not seen anyone again.
If Yuan Tan was in charge of attacking Yi Jing, what would he do?
He will definitely say, I will do this...!
Yes, he would definitely say that, anyway, he has a way every time.
"Come on!" Yuan Shao, unable to attack again and again, felt a little lost, and called out.
A messenger came before him.
Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "Go and see what Eldest Young Master is doing now. Besides, you tell him to ask him to find me in the main tent of the Chinese Army later."
"Here." The messenger went.
