Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 224 Gongsun Zan Seeing Hope
Chapter 224 Gongsun Zan Seeing Hope
"Is what you said true, sir?"

Gongsun Zan's face was full of excitement, and the negative emotions of the past few days disappeared at this moment.

In the house, not only Gongsun Zan, but also several advisers under him were all beaming with joy.
"Don't worry, what I said is true, my lord has sent someone here, and Yuan Shao's army will retreat immediately."

"At that time, I hope the general will help us hold Yuan Shao down."

That man was wearing a long gown, his whole body looked weak, and his appearance was plain, if he didn't pay attention, no one would remember him when he met again.

And Gongsun Zan was not sure, he appeared in his mansion very abruptly, wearing a long gown, and Gongsun Zan was worrying about food and grass in the city.

Another day had passed since the conversation between Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu this time, which meant that the food and grass in the city could only last for one day.

Facing the sudden arrival, Gongsun Zan thought it was some talented person who had come to join him, so he wanted to send him to Guan Jing.

Unexpectedly, a piece of news came out of his mouth, and Gongsun Zan was stunned for a long time.

"The large troops outside the city will retreat in a few days."

The person who came was Ye You, the person in charge of Jinyiwei at Youzhou Office.

After Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan went to war, Ye You came to Youzhou from Jizhou and never met anyone.

Yuan Shao's army outside the city has hundreds of thousands of people, even if Yuan Shao wants to retreat, how much can he stop?

Gongsun Zan exchanged glances with several people around him before speaking to Ye You.

"Since Mr. has arrived here, he must also know that the food and grass in the city are exhausted. If Yuan Shao persists for a few more days, I am afraid that Youzhou will be destroyed by itself, and the army will have no food. How can we fight again?"

Gongsun Zan couldn't believe Ye You even if he couldn't figure out Ye You's origin.

After regaining his calm, he maintained his inherent demeanor, complaining half-truthfully to Ye You.

During this time, Ye You has always been a scholar.

It also gave him a strong bookish air, and no one could guess that his real identity was actually the commander of Youzhou Jinyiwei.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan never let go of his vigilance.

"This is my lord's autographed letter. General Gongsun read it and everything is clear."

Ye You reached into his bosom, and when he stretched out again, he held a letter in his hand, and handed it to Gongsun Zan.

Just as Gongsun Zan was about to reach out his hand, Tian Kai who was next to him snatched it over, took the letter and began to fight.

When Gongsun Zan saw Tian Kai doing this, instead of being angry, he became warm. He knew that although Tian Kai was a wise man, he was the most loyal.

This was also done out of consideration for his safety, after all, poisoning on letters was not uncommon.

Haha!

Tian Kai handed the letter to Gongsun Zan after reading it. After Gongsun Zan read it, his brows gradually loosened, and a smile began to appear on his face.

"It turned out to be a member of Mr. Ye's family. I have offended you just now. I promise that within seven days, Yuan Shao will definitely not leave Youzhou."

Gongsun Zan's words were tantamount to a promise, and he didn't mention the reason for the lack of food and grass.

Although Youzhou Prefecture is poor, it also has aristocratic families. How can these aristocratic families have no food?
Gongsun Zan hadn't asked the aristocratic family to ask for grain before because he didn't have the confidence to negotiate with the aristocratic family. Now that he had Ye Xiao's letter, he had the confidence to negotiate with the aristocratic family.

As long as it is Yuan Shao's retreat, Youzhou will still belong to the Youzhou family. At that time, the food handed over by these families will definitely find a way to get it back from other places.

When Ye You heard what Gongsun Zan said, he felt a little happy, and the task Ye Xiao had given him had also been completed.

He didn't want to stay here anymore, so he got up and said goodbye.

Gongsun Zan and his party sent them outside the mansion, waved goodbye, and Ye You left without looking back.

Before Ye You left, Ye Xiao made up his mind that if Gongsun Zan refused to send troops with the excuse of food and grass, then he would find a way to send some food and grass to Gongsun Zan.

As long as Gongsun Zan can hold Yuan Shao back and give him enough time to destroy Cao Cao, then losing a little food and grass is nothing.

After the matter was successfully completed, Ye You was very happy, and after spreading the news, he carefully ordered the people below to prepare for the evacuation.

The Jin Yiwei in Youzhou must also be sent back to Qingzhou, otherwise, with Gongsun Zan's temperament, the Jin Yiwei may be severely injured.

In August, the weather in the north began to become very hot. Since Ye Xiao had already decided to send troops, Ye Xiao was naturally unwilling to keep Yuan Shao waiting.

Summer is hot and dry, and it is even more burdensome for soldiers in armor.

As soon as Ye Xiao moved, the news from Jizhou City came quickly.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was so self-righteous that he never thought that Ye Xiao would come to beat him, and he wanted to beat Gongsun Zan.

All the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were mobilized, and in the huge Jizhou, there was no army to mobilize except Yuan Shang's army from the Dongping Kingdom.

After Zhao Yun and Yue Fei pacified Shanyang County, they took advantage of the victory to pursue and quickly occupied Leling.

Then they broke through several other counties, and encountered almost no resistance along the way.

At this time, Yuan Shang was dragged to the vicinity of Chen Pingguo by Ye Xiao.

Seven days had passed since Yuan Shao got the news. Pingyuan County had fallen, and most of Beihai had fallen into Ye Xiao's hands.

Yuan Shao ordered the army to pull out the camp and prepare to retreat.

"My lord, don't retreat lightly."

After Tian Feng entered the big tent, he only said one sentence, which made Yuan Shao very angry.

He frantically smashed everything that could be broken in the tent, then turned around, staring at Tian Feng with fiery eyes.

With a slightly scared expression, Tian Feng took a deep breath and said.

"My lord's army cannot be moved lightly. Now my lord is the heart of the army. My lord is here. Although the army advances without chaos, if it retreats, Gongsun Zan will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it. When the time comes, if the army's morale is lost, we will all die."

"I have a plan that may solve the current predicament."

Yuan Shao kept silent, and looked at Tian Feng indifferently.

In fact, Yuan Shao can't be blamed. As the eldest son of the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shao has been wronged since the uprising.

He hates, hates his subordinates for being incompetent, hates Ye Xiao for being brave

The hundreds of thousands of troops blocked for two months were unable to advance an inch. Gongsun Zan taught him a vivid lesson. The price of blood taught him that more soldiers do not necessarily mean strength.

There are too many people, it may not be useful, so take precautions, but Ye Xiao did not expect Ye Xiao to stab him in the back.

Tian Feng didn't know that Yuan Shao had thought of so much in a short period of time, and after sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he spoke.

"In the land of Jizhou, there are as many aristocratic families as a cow's hair. Ye Xiao, as a person who opposes the aristocratic family, wants to go north, and there are many difficulties."

After some analysis, Tian Feng spoke clearly, and the anger in Yuan Shao's heart subsided a little.

Looking at Tian Feng who was getting more and more energetic, he nodded slightly, signaling Tian Feng to continue.

"Gongsun Zan also knows that the army is short of food now. If the lord suddenly sends troops and retreats, the soldiers are prone to turmoil. If Gongsun Zan takes the opportunity to spread rumors and the army blows up the camp, the 10,000+ army will probably have no bones left."

Tian Feng spoke out the worries in his heart, and at this moment he didn't care whether Yuan Shaoxi liked it or not.

Once he fails, he will die without a place to bury him. This is a tragedy of being a counselor in this era.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shao's face turned pale. It was obvious that what Tian Feng was thinking was exactly what he was worried about.

Originally, he didn't care too much about Gongsun Zan, but the two-month bloody battle in the city of Youzhou wiped out the arrogance in his heart.

Afterwards, when the news of Ye Xiao's army dispatched, Yuan Shao fainted from shock. After waking up, Yuan Shao didn't say a word for a long time.
