Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"Sir, I'll meet you as soon as possible." With a smile all over his face, Yuan Shao pulled Jushou up and rushed towards the city gate.

When he came to the tower, with the help of the faint light of the fire, Yuan Shao took a closer look and confirmed that Chunyu Qiong was also inside, letting go of a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"Quickly open the city gate, quickly, welcome the army into the city!"

Under Yuan Shao's order, the city gate was slowly opened, and the Qiang army who had been waiting for a long time, under Chunyu Qiong's leadership, swarmed into the city.

Seeing such a scene, Ju Shou frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, obviously there was something that displeased him.

Chapter 625 Decisive Battle (27)

When Yuan Shao saw the army entering the city, he went down the tower with joy on his face, and just happened to meet Chunyu Qiong who had come here, the two whispered, Yuan Shao knew that these were all Qiang people, and immediately showed curiosity.

Cao Cao sent them here, but he didn't send General Cao to assist in the command, so what is An's heart, or is it that these aliens were given to him by him.

Yuan Shao looked at Jushou aside, and asked doubtfully, "Sir, what does Cao Cao mean?"

Jushou smiled and replied: "Cao Cao's move has two intentions. One is to secretly insert a son in Xuzhou to find a reason for sending troops in the future. The other is to keep the [-] Qiang soldiers and horses behind. Whoever owns it depends on their ability."

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Well, no matter what Cao Cao's intentions are, if Xuzhou can hold on, we will have hope."

Seeing Yuan Shao say this, Ju Shou knew that his self-confidence had returned, as long as Yuan Shao had self-confidence, then there was hope of winning this battle.

Jushou nodded and said: "My lord, this Qiang tribe has become the key now, and we need to give favors to make him work hard."

"Yes yes yes, don't be negligent, General Chunyu, lead the way quickly." Yuan Shao came back to his senses, and quickly let Chunyu Qiong lead the way to meet the leader of the Qiang tribe.

The leader of the Qiang army this time is Yashuang, who belongs to the nobility in the tribe, and his reputation is first-class.

Yashuang is a person who knows Chinese well, and keeps an eye on the battle situation in the Central Plains. Originally, the Qiang people were unwilling to send troops this time. It was he who convinced everyone to get the [-] troops.

Yashuang's vision is one of the best among the Qiang people. He wants to send troops because he sees the great chaos in the world and wants to take advantage of it.

Under the leadership of Chun Yuqiong, Yuan Shao saw Yashuang, and immediately stepped forward politely and said: "Captain Ya, you are really famous for a long time. I saw you today, Shao Sansheng is lucky."

Hearing that the person is Yuan Shao, Yashuang has a respectful face, he is very familiar with the name of the Yuan family, although he heard that the Yuan family is in decline, but a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

Yashuang performed a family salute and said, "Yuan Zhoumu, I heard that the traitor Li Huiyi raised his troops to make trouble, and I come here to help you under the order of the Emperor of Han."

"Hahaha." Yuan Shao laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, you are being polite, come, come, Shao will set up a banquet, and I will have a few drinks together."

Seeing Yuan Shao's boldness, Yashuang said without hesitation: "Okay, Yuanzhou Mu has a favor, I'd rather obey orders than respect."

In this way, Yuan Shao led a group of people and left with Yashuang, leaving the arrangement of the army to his subordinates and others.

When a group of people came to Yuan Shao's mansion, the servants had been notified in advance, so the banquet had been prepared all over the place.

Yuan Shao, as the master, in order to show how much he valued Yashuang, personally sent him to the table to pour wine, and politely toasted him three times.

Yashuang was overwhelmed by being treated so courteously by Yuan Shao, in order to express her gratitude, she put down her words on the spot, as long as Li Jun attacked the city, they would be killed and returned in defeat, so that they would not dare to invade again.

Obtaining Yashuang's promise, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and hurriedly toasted each other. The two drank back and forth for a while, and the atmosphere was lively.

Tens of thousands of cavalry had entered Donghai City, so such a big commotion could not escape Li Jun's eyes and ears.

The reason why Xu Shu didn't take any action was to avoid being ambushed when the army was dispatched when the situation was unclear.

All unprepared wars have the risk of failure. Xu Shu is full of confidence in winning Donghai City. He doesn't need to take risks for the mere tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, for this change, the prudent Xu Shu still called his subordinates and others to discuss and change the siege strategy.

In Li Junshuai's tent, Xu Shu sat in the upper position and told the generals about the changes in Donghai City. It was a rare time that he did not make active arrangements.

After Xu Shu finished telling the news, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, there are tens of thousands of cavalry in the city. This is a hidden danger, but whoever has an opinion?"

Xu Shu's words were meant to be cultivated. After what happened last time, Li Yong has become more mature and stable, but he still has the desire to make contributions.

Li Yong said: "My lord Xu, I think that these tens of thousands of cavalry are nothing to worry about. You just need to trouble General Zhao to lead the army to hold the formation."

"Well, it makes sense." Xu Shu nodded in response, turned to others and said, "Is there any other way?"

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Li Yong knew that what he just said did not reach Xu Shu's ears.

Seeing that Li Yong's strategies were all rejected by Xu Shu, everyone dared not speak for a while, for fear that the rejection would make people laugh.

At this time Li Shu said: "Prevention is the worst policy, we should look for opportunities to annihilate them or maim them."

"Shu believes that as long as our army attacks the city, Yuan Shao will definitely send the cavalry to attack. In this case, why not set up an ambush outside, lure them into a trap, and eliminate them in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate future troubles."

Hearing this, Xu Shu seemed to be a little interested, and said: "There is some truth, let's continue."

With Xu Shu's approval, Li Shu showed joy on his face, and quickly continued: "As long as the cavalry is blocked from charging, their power will be greatly reduced."

"At that time, our army will arrange some equipment to hinder the cavalry on the road to attack the city, and then borrow the long-distance killing ability of the Shenji Battalion, and we will be able to maim them in one fell swoop and frighten them until they dare not leave the city."

"Okay." Xu Shu nodded in agreement and said, "What you said about joining the army is very close to my heart, so it's settled like this, does it make sense for you all?"

Seeing that Xu Shu had already agreed, what else would the others say, after all Li Shu is the son of Li Huiyi, and Xu Shu is the chief general.

Li Shu was supposed to be sent back by Xu Shu last time, when Zhao Yun attacked Yuan Shao's stronghold and captured Yuan Shu, Xu Shu was going to escort Yuan Shu back to Youbeiping, and let Li Shu go back by the way.

But Li Shu was unwilling, saying that if he stayed, he would not go to the front line. Xu Shu tried to persuade him again and again, but he had no choice but to give up.

But after that time, Li Shu was indeed a lot more obedient, and never mentioned the matter of going to the battlefield, and only made suggestions in the army.

Seeing that Li Shu was no longer reckless and restless, Xu Shu was somewhat satisfied, and at the same time had a slight expectation for her to take over the power.

Although the status of women in the Han Dynasty was low, the oldest of Li Huiyi's newborn sons is only four or five years old.

There is no good or bad at all, and Li Huiyi has also intentionally or unintentionally revealed a message, that is, the power will be handed over to those who are capable, regardless of gender.

Everyone was against this statement at first, but Li Huiyi insisted on it, and gradually they changed their minds.

As for who will really hand over the power, Li Huiyi has to speak up. Outsiders like them only have the right to stand in line and make suggestions.

Closer to home, since the city was going to be attacked tomorrow, Xu Shu didn't bother, and took advantage of the night to get people to prepare horses, and sent people outside Donghai City to secretly dig a pit for trapping the horses.

Because Li Jun moved secretly, the defenders on the city didn't notice it. When it was dawn, they were worried about whether Li Jun would attack the city, so they didn't have time to pay attention to the city.

Chapter 626 Decisive Battle (28)

After a series of consecutive defeats, they have long since lost their will to fight. If there were not more and more soldiers and horses, I am afraid that some people would have fled from the army.

Staying here at this time is just for food. These years are in turmoil. If you don't have money and leave the army, you will only have two choices: starve to death on the street or become a bandit.

And among Yuan Jun, quite a few held the idea of ​​surrendering as soon as Li Jun attacked the city.

They had this idea because they got gossip that Li Jun treated the captives very well.
