Chapter 304: Yecheng Is in Dire Straits, Will You Face Death Calmly?

Xiangguo.

"What, Liu Bei captured my son alive??"

Yuan Shao, who had just retreated to Xiangguo, looked at the spies in front of him with anger, his expression completely dull.

How many days has it been?

He had just retreated to Xiangguo and didn't even have time to rest when he received this kind of news.

How could Yuan Shao accept it?

As if aware of Yuan Shao's anger, the spy kneeling on the ground said with a trembling voice, "It's my lord."

"The spies came to report that Liu Bei defeated the two young masters in Feixiang and captured them alive. The two young masters were completely wiped out."

The atmosphere in the entire hall fell into a complete stalemate at this moment.

Not only because of the impact of the news brought by the spy, but also because of Yuan Shao's cold expression.

The ministers in the hall did not dare to say a word and could only lower their heads to hide their shocked expressions.

How many days has it been?

An entire army of more than 30,000 people was wiped out like this?

Coupled with the time it took for the message to be sent, Feixiang might not have been breached by Liu Bei in just one day at this speed!

How dare these officials say more?

Are you saying that these two gentlemen are useless?

Everyone's expressions were extremely shocked, even Yuan Shao himself!

Of course, the reason is also very simple.

For Yuan Shao, the capture of his two sons can only be regarded as a trivial matter!

What really makes Yuan Shao angry is because of the more than 30,000 troops!

This is more than 30,000 troops!

It’s just gone!

And with Gu Rubing conquering Feixiang, Handan is not far from Yecheng!

Now is the most critical time to attack Cao Jun.

If Gu Rubing comes, the situation will change!

He had to face the attack of two parties with one person!

How could Yuan Shao not be angry?

"Damn it, Yuan Shao's expression. Liu Caoxie is really not a human being!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2uuuuah, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are really miserable. They started so high, but they were beaten like this by Liu Caoxie!"

"Liu Caoxiao's strength is really too strong. If the planner doesn't cut it, other players will really be unable to play. Yuan Shao is already so strong, but the result is still like this!"

"There is nothing to say about Yuan Shao's strength. It's just that the quality of his generals is far behind. Liu Caoxie's group of people are suddenly completely outrageous!"

"Bang, bang, Liu Caoxie has already mobilized his troops to continue marching. If we don't attack Yecheng, Cao's army will be out of trouble!"

"I'm really nervous! Stop it! Liu Caoxiao! You really give Yuan Shao a chance! If you help Cao Jun get out of trouble, Yuan Shao will really have nothing to do!"

"The damage to Cao's army must be serious. After so many days of continuous attacks, even if Liu Caoxie can bring down his magic soldiers from the sky, the current Cao's army may not be able to help, right?"

"Indeed, with such casualties, Cao Cao will probably make his men come back quickly, right?"

"???Have the people upstairs never heard of my reputation as Cao Zhonger? Yuan Shao caused so many casualties to Cao's army. With Cao Zhonger's character, how can he not take revenge??"

"My Yuan Shaozhen is going to fight one against two? Is this what you mean?"

"Don't be afraid! Family members! Yuan Shao IV and the Three Dukes are considered to be the most powerful in the world. So what if we fight one against two?"

"Liu Caoxiao's front is almost a thousand miles away. Even if we defeat Yuan Shao, we won't have any advantage, right? The supply of food and grass is a big problem."

"Does anyone really care about what Yuan Shao will choose? Liu Caoxie has already sent people to Xiangguo. Will Yuan Shao save his son?"

"."

Barrage after barrage instantly exploded in Yuan Shao's live broadcast room.

Nowadays, among all the players, Gu Rubing and Yuan Shao are the most popular!

The situation of this war has been completely determined.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether Gu Rubing can catch up with the fighting in Yecheng or not, the protagonists of this battle are destined to be only Yuan Shao and Gu Rubing.

Cao's army suffered so many casualties that even if they were rescued, it would obviously be of little use. How could they not know this?

"Lord."

At this time, Xu You, who had been silent for a long time, slowly walked out of the hall and cupped his hands towards Yuan Shao: "Please don't be sad, my lord."

"With the current situation, my lord should have thought of a strategy early."

He thought Yuan Shao was sad because his two sons were captured. After all, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were Yuan Shao's last sons.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately looked at him, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "What is Ziyuan's plan?"

"Lord."

Xu You took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards Yuan Shao again and said, "I have a plan, I don't know if I should tell it or not."

"Say." Yuan Shao frowned slightly and said directly.

Hearing this, Xu You was silent for a moment, then looked at Yuan Shao seriously and said: "My lord, the current situation, from my perspective, it is better to seek peace with Liu Bei."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

Before Xu You could finish speaking.

Tian Feng walked out directly, looked at Xu You coldly and said: "Liu Bei killed the lord's son, took the lord's land, and wounded the lord's soldiers."

"Xu You, what do you mean by asking my lord to seek peace with Liu Bei at this time?"

Guo Tu also walked out immediately, looked at Xu You coldly and said: "The fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, the lord's name is Weijiahaihai. You ask the lord to make peace with Liu Bei, the mat weaver and shoe seller. What do you want?”

As he spoke, his tone paused slightly, and a hint of sneer flashed across his face: "Is it possible that you, Xu You, accepted Liu Bei's bribe again?"

"Guo Tu!!!"

Xu You's face immediately flashed with anger, and he shouted: "What do you mean by this?"

"I asked my lord to seek peace with Liu Bei, just to stabilize Liu Bei!"

With that said, he looked at Yuan Shao again and said anxiously: "My lord, the morale of Liu Bei's army is now high, and our army is at the critical moment of destroying Cao Cao."

"And the two young masters were captured by Liu Bei?"

"Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle, and he has sworn to help the Han Dynasty. It is inevitable for him to destroy Yuan Shu, but the master is different."

"My lord, as long as I present the Imperial Seal to Liu Bei, Liu Bei will definitely retire happily and release the two young masters back."

Having said this, he once again raised his hand towards Yuan Shao and said with a sincere expression on his face: "My lord, the general situation of the world has been decided now."

"There will definitely be a battle between you and Liu Bei."

"However, fighting now is not good for our army, but good for Liu Bei."

"The Imperial Seal is just a stone. Why not use this stone to hold Liu Bei back?"

"As long as my lord can destroy Cao Cao, he can take over the land of Yanzhou and even control the emperor."

"If the Lord then orders Liu Bei to hand over his military power with the Emperor's decree, wouldn't it be just right?"

"Then Liu Bei has sworn an oath of loyalty. If he does not respect the imperial edict, his power will be relieved, and the people of the world will definitely support the lord."

Xu You's expression became more serious the more he spoke.

But Yuan Shao's brows frowned without realizing it, without any movement at all.

In fact, he could understand that Xu You was right.

The current situation is obviously not conducive to him.

But to Yuan Shao, this imperial seal is more than just a stone!

It has special effects!

Unconditionally transferring his soldiers to different professions would be a huge bonus to Yuan Shao!

The key is--

Yuan Shao doesn’t think he will definitely lose!

Even in today's situation, he still thinks so!

While thinking, Yuan Shao did not hesitate at all and immediately shook his head: "This plan is not possible!"

"Since there will be a battle between me and Liu Bei sooner or later."

"How can we give him another chance to grow?"

"Lord, he..." Xu You's expression changed, as if he wanted to say something more.

But before he could speak.

Yuan Shao directly waved his hand and interrupted him: "Ziyuan doesn't need to say any more, I'll tell you the secret!"

Hearing this, Xu You's expression completely froze.

On the contrary, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others had sneers on their faces.

"Damn it. Brothers, I feel like there is no need to wait any longer. Yuan Shao has already made a decision!"

"I discovered that the people of the old Yuan family are really obsessed with the imperial seal. That old boy Yuan Shu is unwilling to abdicate until his death. The same goes for this guy Yuan Shao. He is just stubborn!"

"Absolutely!! Is it possible that you haven't discovered it yet? After possessing the Imperial Jade Seal, whether it is Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao, their strength has improved. This thing obviously has special effects. How can it be exchanged for it? Two useless sons!”

"The most important thing is not to change the son, but to let Liu Caoxie withdraw from the army. I think if Yuan Shao can hand over the imperial seal, Liu Caoxie will still withdraw from the army. His battle line is too long!"

"Why do I think these advisers under Yuan Shao are plotting against each other?"

"You just found out??"

"I think Xu You's overall view of the situation is not bad. Every time he gave Yuan Shao some suggestions before, they were pretty good. Although they are not as good as those of Guo Jiafa and others, they are still pretty good!"

"What a pity. Yuan Shao is really disobedient. As long as Liu Caoxie retreats, it will be a matter of time before he destroys Cao's army. These are Cao Zhonger's main force. If they can be destroyed, the victory of Yanzhou is not certain. "

"."

Seeing everything that happened in the hall, netizens in Yuan Shao's live broadcast room also started talking.

Xu You stayed like this for a long time, watching all this silently without saying anything more.

And Yuan Shao no longer paid attention to Xu You, and instead began to discuss with a group of ministers how to prevent Gu Rubing. .

At the same time, Yecheng.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In the past few days, the Jizhou army entered Yecheng four times, but was beaten back by Cao's army all times.

But - Cao Jun's casualties were also huge.

Under such a high-intensity siege, Cao's army had no time to rest and recuperate, and could only defend the city vigorously, with obvious casualties.

In the city at this time.

Cao Ren had completely lost his human appearance.

His whole body was stained with blood and water.

Although he had taken a day off in the past few days, he didn't have any extra time to wash off the blood on his body.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

He is the anchor of Cao Jun's army, and he must not stay out for a long time.

One can imagine how bad his condition was.

But even so, the situation of Cao Jun's entire army has not been relieved in any way.

Under such a powerful siege by the Jizhou Army.

Although both Cao Ren and Guo Jia were trying their best to maintain the morale of the Yanzhou Army.

But as the days passed, the Yanzhou Army's military morale gradually faded.

This is no longer something that lies can make up for.

Faced with such huge casualties, no matter how brave these people are, they will still feel hopeless in the face of life and death.

"Sir, if no reinforcements arrive tomorrow, our army may be completely wiped out."

In the hall, Cao Ren, who was bandaging his leg wound, looked at Guo Jia who came in and said calmly: "At that time, I will have someone escort you out of the city."

Hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head and sighed: "General, have you tried to break out these days? Is there a chance?"

Hearing this, Cao Ren fell silent.

He did break out these two days, but all failed.

The Jizhou army seemed to be angry and did not give them any chance at all.

"General, don't think too much."

Guo Jia smiled faintly: "In such a world, life and death are just a matter of a moment. I have already realized it."

In the current situation, even he has no way out.

In fact, there is still enough food and grass in Yecheng.

If the Jizhou army does not attack the city so frantically, Guo Jia still has the confidence to continue to defend it, and sooner or later he can wait for Gu Rubing's army to attack.

But the current situation is completely different.

The defenders in the city are exhausted. After continuous fighting, no matter how strong the city is, it will be broken one day.

Failed to break out, the message could not be sent out.

In the current situation, what else can Guo Jia do?

The current situation of the entire Yecheng is to persevere with all their strength, longing for the only chance of survival!

As he spoke, Cao Ren had bandaged the wound on his leg.

Although he was exhausted, he did not hesitate at all, stood up immediately, and was about to go out again.

It was about to get dark.

According to the situation in the past few days, the siege of the Jizhou Army was coming again.

As the commander-in-chief, he had to go.

However, before he took a few steps, Guo Jia stopped him directly: "General, take a good rest first. I will go to the battle to defend the city tonight."

Hearing this, Cao Ren frowned: "Sir, you are a first-class scholar, how can you go to the front?"

"General, do you want me to die in that hall?"

Guo Jia smiled indifferently: "It's just going to die. Dying on the front line will avoid being ridiculed by future generations."

Hearing this, Cao Ren's blood-red eyes moved slightly.

He looked at Guo Jia, who looked calm, and was silent for a moment, then he also showed a calm smile.

"Sir, a scholar like you can die in front of the battlefield?"

"As a general, how can Cao Ren die on the couch?"

The eyes of the two men slightly confronted each other at this moment.

The next moment, they both showed a calm smile.

Without any hesitation, the two walked out of the hall and headed straight for the top of the city!

Sure enough, as the sky gradually darkened.

A dense fire appeared in the distance again!

The Yuan army is coming! .
