Chapter 941 Night Attack on Ye City Three Days Later
Just as the Wangjiazhuang family was chatting, Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou, had been besieged for three months. Cheng Yu surrounded the points and attacked the reinforcements from other counties, completely consuming all the reinforcements from other counties, and then took the opportunity to attack other counties in Wei County.
Today, Yecheng is an isolated city, surrounded by four or five thousand soldiers at the same time, and subsequently increased to 10,000. If it weren't for the city's strength and the soldiers' lives, they would have probably fallen long ago... No, maybe it was just Cheng Yu who had no effort to attack the city.
"Legislature Commander, how long will it take?" Yu Jin finally felt a little impatient, so he asked.
"Around me for another month?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"Why don't you say that, just celebrate the New Year here just now." Yu Jin shook his head.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and others next to him also raised their ears at this moment. So many people were consuming here, and no one felt comfortable. However, the Legion Commander didn't say anything, and he (they) had no choice.
"Are you complaining that I haven't been able to capture Yecheng in four or five months?" Cheng Yu raised his lips slightly.
"The Legion Commander has other plans?" Yu Jin seemed to have heard something.
"Last year, the court not to mention the amount of military ration dispatched much less..." Cheng Yu said slowly, "Winter was not suitable for combat. At the same time, considering the issue of military ration, we have to wait until next month, when the winter wheat is harvested and new military rations are transported, so that we can attack with all our strength... At that time, not only Yecheng, but at least the entire Jizhou will be defeated!"
It turned out to be a problem of military rations. Indeed, it was surrounded but not attacked, so the current military is currently serving two meals a day. The quality of foods eaten at the same time has indeed decreased a bit. Thinking about it carefully, insufficient military rations is indeed a problem.
I heard that in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yangzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army fought a war in the Chibi area, destroying all the superior troops of Sun Quan's army. It seems that it was because of insufficient military rations that he had to accept the other party's peace talks.
Finally, the Xuzhou army went north, and of course it also needed a large amount of military rations. After conquering Qingzhou, under the cover of the Yanzhou army, the Xuzhou army went further north and captured Bohai County. It is now on the border of Youzhou, restraining Yuan Shang's troops so that it cannot go south.
"Also!" Cheng Yu saw that everyone had begun to ponder, so he continued to add, "We have made too many contributions in the Battle of Guandu. We should show it to the Hanoi team and the comrades of the Xuzhou Legion."
In the Battle of Guandu, the Central Army brought together the Yanzhou Army's troops stationed in the Yanzhou Army, with only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to deal with Yuan Shao's troops with more than 60,000 yuan. In the end, they won a series of victories, forcing Yuan Shao to flee north in a panic. According to the newspaper's evaluation: This is a battle that can be recorded in history.
At this point, the contributions have been great enough. If you continue to fight, it will only add icing on the cake. The Hanoi and Xuzhou Legions have too few results. If you eat meat, you have to give others some soup, right? Just say that now, the Xuzhou Legions are in Bohai County, restraining the Yuan army in Youzhou and eliminating their worries. This is to repay their favor.
"Then what he said is reasonable..." Yu Jin muttered, he was not very convinced of this reason.
"The last reason... I am trying to make Yecheng surrender voluntarily, mainly to make Yuan Shao survive." Cheng Yu said the last reason, perhaps this is the most important reason.
"You have also seen that this city is not easy to fight, and the effects of the ladder truck and the thunder truck cannot be exerted. The other party probably knows that he is an isolated city and is also a defense that he is willing to defend himself. Even if he fights, we will suffer heavy losses... The key is that on the lord, she should hope that we can capture Yuan Shao alive, right?" Cheng Yu looked at Yu Jin.
"I don't deny this..." Yu Jin nodded. It was rumored that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were childhood friends and had a good relationship when they were young. Cao Cao did not speak, but it does not mean that they were ignorant. It is better to be a prisoner if they can be captured.
"But I think Yuan Shao will not surrender..." Zhang Fei came forward, "We beat her so much in the previous battle, let alone the fact that we surrounded her for so long. If she planned to surrender, she was afraid she had already surrendered."
"So I didn't expect her to surrender!" Cheng Yu smiled, "There are not many people who want to surrender!"
The four pillars in Hebei Province, Han Meng is still there after deducting the "one pillar" in the middle, Yan Liang is beheaded, Wen Chou is captured, and it is said that he was sent to Gongsun Zan as a renewal. Zhang He and Gao Lan are currently serving in the Yanzhou Legion, and there are no outstanding generals under Yuan Shao.
The key is that he was for several months, and there was no extra military ration inside. Yuan Shao was not in a hurry, and some of her subordinates were anxious!
"Legislative Commander, are you already having a scheming?" Yu Jin asked. He knew very well that Cheng Yu would say that, so he must have been prepared. Her personality is just like this, and she would definitely not be able to take it out, otherwise she would not have said it.
"I have secretly contacted Shen Rong, the nephew of Shen Pei, through Yuan Shu's old subordinate! I promised him a high-ranking beauty. He promised that the city gate would be opened for us at night three days later!" Cheng Yu said slowly.
"Take it seriously?" The generals immediately became interested, and Yu Jin was even more excited and asked immediately.
"In addition, I also received a message... Yuan Shao was seriously ill in the past few days, and I'm afraid he can't stand these two days." Cheng Yu sighed. He originally planned to wait for her to surrender, but he didn't expect that he would have to endure Yuan Shao to death first.
Unless women return to ancient species, the standard is a lifespan of 200 years. Some people who shorten their lifespan due to nutritional problems will also have a lifespan of at least hundreds of years. Yuan Shao can be said to be still in his prime at the moment, but he did not expect to become dying and even dying.
"Is the news reliable?" Yu Jin frowned.
"I have received news from Yuan Shu's old subordinates and Shen Rong, and I confirm that it is correct." Cheng Yu nodded.
"As soon as Yuan Shao dies, the defenders will inevitably be temporarily in chaos. When Shen Rong opens the city gate, the overall situation will be determined." Yu Jin nodded. Yuan Shao really died of illness, so there was nothing they could do. They had done their best.
"Will there be a fraud?" Zhang Fei was still a little worried.
"This possibility is not ruled out, but Yecheng, which has a wide open middle gate, is worth a bet! The key is to be prepared for this mentally! Having said that, even if Yuan Shao is crazy, he will not be able to raise Yecheng, right?" Cheng Yu was confused.
"The military advisor under Yuan Shao is not Chen Gongtai, and he always uses fire to attack." Yu Jin laughed. In fact, he was also feeling that Chen Gong first called Puyang and then Xia Pi, which was definitely a fire-making maniac.
When fighting with her, when encountering a city that needs to be attacked, you have to consider whether the other party will give the city a point directly.
"Based on the above meaning, everyone will go back and prepare well. In the evening three days, we will start siege the city! But in the past few days, we will have to take a little feint to create some pressure on Yuan Shaojun!" Cheng Yu concluded.
"As for the order!" The generals replied one after another, but Gao Lan and Zhang He had a little complicated expression. However, the two had surrendered, and no matter how emotional he was, he should do what he should do.
At the same time, in Yecheng, Yuan Shao was indeed weakened to the limit due to heart disease, coupled with irregular diet and malnutrition in the past few months. In the middle of winter, he lacked supplies and suffered from wind and cold, and he couldn't get sick since the beginning of spring.
"I can only get to this point?" Yuan Shao raised his hand, looked at his withered look, and sighed.
