It was also because Zhang He won too easily that he was moved to surrender. Seeing Lu Weihuang's look that he only wanted to die quickly, Zhang He slammed the handsome case and ordered the school swordsman outside the tent to escort Lu Weihuang out. The owl first showed the public.
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Yun opened his mouth, Gao Gan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"General Junyi, Lu Qidu has a reckless personality and is not good at words. If there is any offence, I will apologize to the general for him."
Zhang Xi was taken aback for a moment, what do you mean, you still have the mood to intercede for others when you are still unable to save yourself?
Gao Gan looked at Zhang Yun and smiled slightly: "If the general is willing to spare Wei Huang's life, Gan is willing to call open the Shuzhou city gate and welcome the general's army into the city."
Zhang Xi, you can figure it out, there are at least [-] defenders in Shuzhou City, if you kill Lao Lu, you can fight this Shuzhou City yourself.
Zhang He moved his eyes back and forth between Gao Gan and Lu Weihuang several times, and then said playfully: "Gao Gan, are you not afraid that I will kill Lu Weihuang with my backhand?"
Gao Gan slowly closed his eyes: "My uncle entrusted me with the burden of guarding Hejian, but I failed my uncle's trust. Wan Dajun ran away and exhausted. Even if you don't kill me, I will have no face to live on."
Hey, this kid Gao Gan has something, no wonder the lord sent an order to keep him alive before the battle.
"Don't worry, you don't have to feel guilty, because you will meet your uncle in front of my lord's tent soon."
Hearing Zhang Yun's insulting remarks and teasing Yuan Shao casually, Gao Gan's eyes widened suddenly. Unfortunately, he soon realized that once Shuzhou fell, there would be less than [-] soldiers in Hejian, and only two or three people left in the city. It is true that he has no capital to compete with Lin Feng. .
As for Zhang Xi's statement that the two uncles and nephews met in front of Lin Feng's tent, it seems that it cannot be said to be a joke, but a statement that is infinitely close to the facts.
In the end, the high officials could only sigh, bow their heads and lower their eyes to adjust themselves to the state of autism. Don't worry about the wind and rain outside when you are in prison. You only hope that after your uncle is defeated, you can have a chance to escape back to Yuan's house in Runan. Laughing at a lifetime is better than being separated.
Seeing that Gao Gan stopped talking, Zhang He ordered people to imprison General Gao Lu Er and guard him. Then he left a small number of troops to clean up the battlefield and gather up the scattered luggage. While it was still dark, he himself led the army to receive Shuzhou City.
Chapter 312
In the gloomy Gaoyang City Guard's Mansion, Yuan Shao stood at the head with a blank expression.
Below him, Guo Tu and the examiner sat facing each other.
The three of them were all silent, and the scene seemed a little awkward.
Finally, Guo Tu stood up and bowed deeply to Yuan Shao, and said with shame on his face: "My lord, Tu's mission is not effective. I never expected that Gongsun Zan would not keep his word and he refused to send troops to rescue, which led to our army's defeat. Now the situation is critical. , Even if the soldiers from Youzhou arrive, they will be powerless to return to heaven. According to the picture, my lord can only temporarily avoid Lin Qingzhou's sharp edge, retreat into the territory of Youzhou, and take shelter under Gongsun Zan's tent."
Yuan Shao and the others have received the latest urgent report from the battlefield.
Outside Wen'an City, the Liaodong Army was defeated. On the way back to Haihe, Gongsundu and his son were captured by the Donglailin Army who came across the sea.Yuan Tan in Wen'an City begged his father to send an army to help quickly in the letter of help. If he came two or three days late, not only Wen'an City would not be safe, but Yuan Tan himself would inevitably follow in the footsteps of Gongsun Du and his son.The detailed work of the trial and assignment arrangement in the Liaodong Army also proved what Yuan Tan said was true.
There was no news from Shuzhou City, but Yuan Jun's conspiracy near Shuzhou sent back shocking news that Shuzhou fell!
Gao Gan and Lu Weihuang failed to escape, they were either captured or died in battle.
In short, except for Guo Tu, Shen Pei, and Xu You who were stationed in Wuyuan, Yuan Shao's generals who could fight had already been wiped out by Lin Feng.
Even if Gongsun Zanzun kept his promise and led an army to help, it was meaningless.
Regardless of whether Gongsun Zan won or Lin Feng won, there was no room for Yuan Shao to survive in Jizhou.
He now has only two paths left.
One is to disarm and return to the farmland, and return to Runan with the whole family, and take shelter in the Yuan family's family, but it is also true that he will spend the rest of his life as a wealthy farmer.
The second way is to gather all the forces under his command, lead his troops to join Gongsun Zan, and temporarily lay dormant for later.
Guo Tu is currently suggesting that Yuan Shao take the second path.
Although the judge lowered his brows and raised his eyes and refused to speak, his thoughts were probably the same as Guo Tu's.
If they were put under Gongsun Zan's tent, they would still have a chance to assist Yuan Shao to make a comeback. If they returned to Runan, they would either defect from Yuan Shao's sect, or obediently be accountants for the rest of their lives, helping Yuan Shao collect land rent and manage the tenants in the fields.
In history, Guo Tu and Shen Pei were all loyal to the Yuan family, vowed not to surrender to Cao, and died generously.
But that was after following Yuan Shao for more than ten years, both of them had been bound to Yuan's chariot regardless of their relatives or careers.
Now the two have just followed Yuan Shao for three or two years, and they are not Fengji's kind of iron-headed children, who are emotional, regardless, and show their hearts with enthusiasm.
Therefore, the examiner bowed his head in silence, meaning he was waiting for Yuan Shao's statement.
If they went to Youzhou, they could continue to follow Yuan Shao. If they returned to Runan, the two of them would have to resign on the spot and find another job.
Yuan Shao
He wasn't an idiot either, he was still a little aware of the psychology of Guo Tu and the judge.
It was just that he was asked to abandon his status as a prince and bow his head to join the tent of Gongsun Zan, whom he had always looked down upon.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was still hesitating, Guo Tu stepped forward and continued to speak.
"My lord, I can't do anything anymore. A man can bend and stretch, and the Marquis of Huaiyin can bear the humiliation of his crotch. Why don't you bow your head to Gongsun Pingfu for a while?"
Yuan Shao let out a long sigh.
Thinking back to when he left home when he was young and became an official in the court, how high-spirited he was at that time.
Soon he was appreciated by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and he rose steadily in the officialdom, becoming the first among the Yuan family's children to break through the shackles of family status and become a general of the army.
Although he was occasionally filed in several confrontations with Dong Zhuo, he also played out the great prestige of the Yuan family in Runan. As the prefect of Bohai, he commanded the five counties of Jizhou, and the position of governor of Jizhou was beckoning to him.
It was that hateful Lin Mad Dog. Ever since he got offended in the First Battle of Qinghe, Yuan Shao fully understood what it means to be a mad dog who bites into the bone.
He has never won a single time, and he was crushed and beaten by Lin Madgou. County by county was taken away from him, and now even Hejian is unable to defend.
Not reconciled, really not reconciled.
But what can be done?
"Okay, I can only trouble Gongze for a hard trip, and then enter Youzhou to discuss whether you and I should vote for Gongsun Zan for the time being."
"Follow your lord's orders."
The judge on the other side had erratic eyes, and was a little unsure.
Outside Wuyuan City, Lin Feng was holding a few battle reports, leaning forward and back together with joy, beating the case and stamping his feet.
So cool!
No wonder Zhang Yun was ranked among the five best generals by Cao Dabai in the future, and he really had more than one set.
He sent Wu Anguo to rescue the Wen'an battlefield in time, and then took Shuzhou City lightly with weak troops. It seemed that the entire Hejian battlefield was under Zhang Xi's control.
According to the analysis of the current military situation in Hejian, even if Lin Feng did not lead the army, the whole county of Hejian would definitely be pacified by Zhang He.
Guo Jia leaned opposite Lin Feng, with admiration on his face.
"Zhang Junyi is truly a general. With the help of this hero, my lord can rest easy in the future."
