The Three Kingdoms

certainly.In the current situation, the enemy is outnumbered, and the city gate was almost breached by the Wei army several times.

They even forcibly recruited tens of thousands of young and strong men from the city to defend the city, and they finally managed to hold the city gate.

With tens of thousands of young and strong, they could barely block the first wave of Wei Jun's powerful offensive.

On the seventh day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties.Under such a high-intensity attack, Wei Jun finally failed to take Jincheng in one fell swoop, so he could only propose a temporary truce.

In just seven days, the corpses were pushed up and down the city.Blood has already stained the gates of this area red.

In the city of Ye, the night was dim.

In the palace, the lights are bright.

Jin Wang Yuan Shao has regained a bit of energy in the past few days and managed to maintain a state of sobriety. This night, after drinking a bowl of millet porridge, he only received Ju Shou, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji.

"Gongyu, how is the war outside?"

In a side hall, Yuan Shao looked at Jushou and asked in a harmonious voice.

Even though he was in the deep palace, he could still hear the sound of the battle on the city wall clearly. He naturally understood how intense it was.

"Your Majesty!" Ju Shou pondered for a while when he heard the words, and finally shook his head, saying: "The Wei army has retreated today. Although we have blocked the first wave of the Wei army's offensive, within three days at most, the Wei army will launch a second attack." Attacking, Cao Cao is determined now, he must take Yecheng, Yecheng may not be able to hold back for long!"

He knew very well in his heart that Cao Cao had no choice but to force his troops, and some people in Wei State were also in turmoil. Only by completely breaking through Yecheng could he stabilize the situation in Wei State.

"Is Yecheng unable to stop Cao Mengde's footsteps?" Yuan Shao heard this, his face was a little sullen, and his eyes swept away: "You think so too!"

"Your Majesty!" The examiner cupped his hands, sighed, and said softly, "The Prime Minister's words are not exaggerated at all. The Wei army's violent attack for several days has caused too many casualties for our children. Those young and strong who have not experienced battlefield training, Even if it is on the battlefield, it will become our burden instead, Yecheng, we may not be able to support it for long!"

"I don't believe it!" Yuan Shao stared angrily when he heard this, with the blue veins on his forehead exposed, and said coldly: "Gu will not be defeated, and he will never be defeated by Cao Mengde, the lowly son after the eunuch. Shouldn't the cavalry have arrived in Yecheng early in the morning?"

When several people heard Yuan Shu's words, they looked at each other with ugly expressions.

Finally, Feng Ji stood up and clasped his hands to report: "Your Majesty, according to the report from our scouts, General Gao's cavalry has been defeated by Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry, and now fleeing north to Handan, I am afraid it will be difficult to help us defend Yecheng! "

"what?"

Yuan Shao's eyes turned cold, his pupils shone with a biting light, and he asked some unbelievable questions: "The Xiliang iron cavalry from Liangguo? Why did they appear in Jizhou?"

"Your Majesty, according to the news from our Yingyang Guard!" The judge sighed, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Cao Cao seems to have handed over Bingzhou to Liangguo, so he invited Liangguo's elite soldiers, Xiliang cavalry!"

"Lonely Bingzhou? What a Cao Mengde!" Yuan Shao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard the words, and his expression became more sinister, even ferocious.

Bingzhou is his state of Jin, when did it become a bargaining chip in the deal between Wei State and Liang State.

"Your Majesty?"

When they saw it, they looked shocked, and hurried forward to take a closer look.

"I'm fine!" Yuan Shao also stiffened, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, forced himself up, and looked at the few people.Asked: "Do you have a plan to retreat?"

"My lord, let's break through!" Ju Shou thought for a while, his eyes brightened, and he said in a low voice, "We can't hold Yecheng anymore, but as long as we retreat to Handan, there is still hope for Jin."

Yecheng is the capital of Jin.But it is not the barrier of Jizhou. If we say that Handan, the capital of Zhao State in the past, is the real strong fortress.

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is true!"

The examiner hurriedly nodded his head, and said in response: "The general has recruited [-] strong men in Handan to train them. Although the training time is good now, there is no problem in guarding Handan!"

"This is the lonely capital of the Jin Kingdom!"

Yuan Shao's expression was ugly.He raised his head, glanced at the three of them, with a persistent expression, and said coldly: "I won't leave alone, I will stay here in Yecheng, and fight Cao Mengde to the death!"

He has been entangled with Cao Mengde for too long, and he doesn't want to continue to be so entangled.

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, please think twice!"

Three people heard the words.Hurriedly crawling on the ground, admonishing with one voice.

Ju Shou raised his head, and said righteously: "Yecheng can't last long, for the future of Jin, let's break through!"

"Hey!"

Yuan Shao's face turned cold, and he let go and drew out his long sword.Pointing at the three of them, he said coldly: "Gu said, Gu won't leave, you don't need to persuade Gu, he, Cao Mengde, wants to attack Gu's city of Ye. It's best to ask Gu if he is willing to hold the sword in his hand, and Gu decides to defend it." City, fight Yecheng to the death, if there are opponents, kill them without mercy!"

He cut off the foot of the book case with a sword to show his will.

When the three of them saw Yuan Shao's determination, they could only look at each other helplessly.

Finally, Ju Shou persuaded again: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, please issue an order to let the General go south quickly. Now only the General can break the siege of Yecheng!"

Yuan Shao heard that this time he didn't continue to persist, he thought for a while, and then said: "According to Ru's words, let Ju Yihuo send troops south!"

"promise!"

Jushou was suddenly overjoyed.

————————————————————————————

After several days of siege, the city was already in chaos, and many aristocratic families were worried about the situation outside the city. If it weren't for the suppression of the Jin State's respected Jushou, chaos had already occurred in the city.

This night, in the dead of night.

In the Fang family's mansion, the largest and most powerful family in the city, there was an undercurrent side hall, only one oil lamp was shining, but there were five or six patriarchs who had a good relationship with the Fang family sitting there.

They gathered together for the arrival of Jia Xu, the commander of the ghost soldiers of Wei State.

There was a thin scar on Jia Xu's face, and she sat cross-legged in a side position.

"The conditions proposed by our country Wei are already considered generous. I gave you three days to consider. How are you thinking now?"

Jia Xu's voice was calm, but there was a sense of coldness.

"Commander Jia, will the King of Wei really be willing to take us in?" The Patriarchs were a little vacillating, and they could only look at Jia Xu with hopeful eyes, and asked.

"Commander Jia, we are naturally willing to defect to the State of Wei, but we are afraid that the State of Wei will be ruthless when the time comes!"

The person on the left spoke and sighed.

"Everyone, our country of Wei is not the Yellow Turban Army of the past!" Jia Xu picked up the hot tea, blew on the hot air lightly, and then took a sip. After a while, he said leisurely: "Our country of Wei takes When I go down to Yecheng, I will naturally manage Yecheng. If you want to manage Yecheng, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it. Master Xu You was Yuan Shao’s confidant in the past, and now he is in the Wei Kingdom and still holds a high position. Wei Wangxiong is a general plan , broad-minded, unmatched by the villain Yuan Shao!"

Hearing the words, several people involuntarily looked at each other, thought for a while and made a decision together.

The old head of the Fang family is in charge, a veteran local tyrant in Yecheng. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "We naturally believe in the State of Wei, and we also want to trust the King of Wei, but we just don't know what Commander Jia needs from us?"

"I heard that most of the [-] young men guarding the west city gate are tenants and government soldiers of your big families, is that right?"
