Chapter [247] Siege By One Person?
"My lord! My lord!"
Yuan Shao, who was in a dream, suddenly opened his eyes, turned over from the couch, "What's the matter?!"
Yuan Shao could hear the voice of Jushou, it was late at night, if nothing serious happened, Jushou would never come to disturb his rest.
"My lord, something happened at Wuchao."
Ju Shou's words made Yuan Shao's heart sink to the bottom, and immediately got up with his clothes on, and asked: "What happened?"
"..." Ju Shou looked at Yuan Shao, and finally said, "You will know after ten minutes outside the account."
Yuan Shao didn't know why, so he strode outside, and the moment he opened the curtain, the red light all over the sky was reflected on Yuan Shao's face.
As if petrified, Yuan Shao's body froze in place, motionless, he even forgot to let go of the arm that lifted the curtain.
With such a strong red light, one can tell at a glance that there is a fire, and the direction of the fire is exactly where Wuchao is.
After a while, Yuan Shao said hoarsely: "400" "Is there any news?"
"Not yet." Ju Shou replied truthfully.
"Wake up the soldiers." Yuan Shao ordered in a deep voice.
For such a big matter, it must be impossible to hide it. After all, there are soldiers on duty at night, as long as they are not blind, they can see the fire that soars into the sky.
Instead of letting the soldiers panic because they don't know, it is better to take the initiative to inform the soldiers of the current situation so that the soldiers have a bottom line.
"Tell the soldiers that Wuchao is our granary, so the fire should be the granary on fire."
"My lord..." Ju Shou wanted to persuade Yuan Shao upon hearing the words, not to be like this.
Yuan Shao waved his hand and continued: "Tell the soldiers not to worry, we still have a granary, so the soldiers don't have to worry."
Ju Shou was startled when he heard the words, and then slowly nodded, "This will appease the three armies, but my lord, this is only a temporary strategy, after a few days without food, we will still reveal our secrets.
"The top priority is to consider what we should do next."
After pondering for a while, Yuan Shao said slowly: "Continue to attack, the food and grass in the camp will be at least ten days away, and if we take Cao Cao's lair within ten days, all problems will be solved."
"My lord, what if I can't take it in ten days?" Ju Shou obviously disapproved of this kind of gambling behavior, "After the food runs out at that time, the collapse of the army is inevitable."
"Ai~" Yuan Shao sighed, "Why don't I know? But we have no way out!"
Yuan Shao said in a low voice: "We arrived at the south bank on the ice of the Yellow River, which means we don't have a boat at hand, and it's already spring, and we still can't go back to Hebei, but we need a boat."
"At this moment, turn around and return to the shore, and then build the ship, there is not enough time."
Ju Shou was silent when he heard the words. Such a huge team has now penetrated deep into the Central Plains, and it takes more than ten days to turn around and return to the shore. What's more, it takes time to build ships, and ten days is not enough.
"What's more, the Yellow River has just thawed. Even if we have boats, the ice flood will block our escape route, and we will not be able to cross the river at all." Yuan Shao continued.
The so-called ice flood means that after the Yellow River thawed, the thawed ice continued to flow down the river.
Ice cubes in small rivers are fine, but for a big river like the Yellow River, any piece of ice can crush a ship.
Now when crossing the river by boat, there will be ice blocks floating down from the upper reaches from time to time, and the risk factor is too high.
There was too little time, and Ling Xun blocked the way of retreat. With the combination of the two, Yuan Shao is now like a pawn crossing the river, he can only move forward but cannot retreat.
While talking, a soldier came to report, "My lord, don't worry, our soldiers will come back.
"How's the situation?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Cao Cao personally led the army to break through Wuchao, and the fire burned all the food and grass. General Yuan Hong committed suicide and apologized."
"Alas~" Yuan Shao sighed, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
After a long while, Yuan Shaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Time is waiting for you, every second counts!"
"Let the soldiers start marching immediately, Tian Rinei must destroy Xu County government!"
"Since Cao Cao was able to take down Wuchao, it means that he brought a lot of troops."
"Cao Cao's troops are not many in the first place, if he dares to divide his troops to attack our granary at this moment, the rear will be empty.
"Hurry up and take down Xu County, the victory still belongs to us!"
Following Yuan Shao's order, hundreds of thousands of troops followed the light of burning food and grass, and began to march at night, marching firmly towards Xu County.
It's just that between Yuan Shao and Xu County, there is still a Guandu defense line [there is Cao Ren and Cao Jun from the five cities guarding it.

Hebei, Dangyin.
"Zhongda, is this the best place for interception as you said?" Lu Bu asked looking at the small county in front of him.
"Back to Your Majesty, to the north of this city is Yecheng, and to the south is Liyang, the ferry crossing." Sima Yi explained: "If, as Your Majesty said, Yuan Shao fled to Hebei after his defeat, he would definitely pass through this place on his way to Yecheng.
Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, "That is indeed very suitable for intercepting here."
"I don't understand one thing. No matter how you look at it, Yuan Shao has a better chance of winning. Why did your majesty decide that Cao Cao will win?" Sima Yi asked the doubts in his heart...
"Yuan Shao has a confidant named Xu You, but he is a lonely internal response. He alone sent Xu You to flee to Cao Cao's side and inform Cao Cao of all Yuan Shao's military deployment. Do you think Cao Cao will win?" Lu Bu asked with a smile .
Sima Yi was astonished when he heard the words, he didn't expect Lu Bu's methods to be so clever, to be able to install a secret agent next to Yuan Shao, and to be able to get into a high position, it sounds very magical.
"Then why didn't your majesty choose to intercept on the bank of the Yellow River?" Sima Yi asked again, "Attacking Yuan Shao halfway while fleeing for his life is undoubtedly the best place to annihilate Yuan Shao. I think it would be better to set up an ambush in Liyang.
"Hehe, because my target is not only Yuan Shao, but also Cao Cao who is chasing after Yuan Shao.
Sima Yi was shocked again when he heard this, and immediately understood Lu Bu's plan.
If they attacked Yuan Shao halfway on the bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao could easily be wiped out.
However, Cao Cao, who was chasing after Yuan Shao, would also discover the existence of Lu Bu, so he would not pursue him across the river, and chose to stay on the south bank.
But in Dangyin, Yuan Shao had already fled from the south bank to the north bank. Cao Cao would definitely choose to take advantage of the victory to pursue and follow him to the north bank.
After arriving in Dangyin, Lu Bu will be able to kill Yuan Shao first, then Cao Cao, and dominate both sides of the Yellow River.
"Your majesty is wise, but your ministers are not as good as you." Sima Yi said in admiration.
"Don't belittle yourself, you just followed Gu and know too little about it." Lu Bu waved his hand.
Needless to say Sima Yi's character, but also needless to say Sima Yi's ability, how can Cao Wei's world be forgotten if he has no ability.
"My lord, it seems that there are still some troops stationed in Dangyin on 5.8. Do you want to build siege equipment?" Sima Yi asked.
No more, no less, Yinyin still has thousands of soldiers in this small city.
Although Lu Bu has an army of 100,000 and 20,000 cavalry, he can't help this small city without ladders.
Seeing that Lu Bu didn't answer, Sima Yi couldn't help but ask again, "Why don't you go and surrender first? The king's army is approaching the city, and the other party probably won't dare to resist."
No matter whether it is to surrender or to attack by force, such a small city cannot stop the Qin army's footsteps.
"No, Gu intends to try it himself."
Lu Bu finally spoke, but what he said made Sima Yi puzzled.
Try it? Try it yourself? What do you mean? Do you want to attack the city alone?
Sima Yi immediately shook his head, how could one person attack the city? Not even Xiang Yu.
However, Lu Bu's additional actions completely overturned Sima Yi's perception of martial arts. .
