Yuan Shu is now furious.
Seeing that even Yan Xiang didn't know what to do, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were approaching the city. He was at a loss and felt even more irritable. Coupled with the current hot weather, he couldn't even sit still.
"what to do?"
Yuan Shu immediately asked again.
Yan Xiang lowered his head, thought for a long time and said, "I don't know what to do, it seems... the overall situation has been decided, that's it."
Yuan Shu shouted: "I don't believe it, you guys think of a way for me, think of it quickly!"
"Your Majesty, there is really nothing we can do!"
Yan Xiang said helplessly: "We don't even have enough food and grass in the city now. Even if Cao Cao and Sun Ce just besiege the city without attacking, we can only sustain it for ten days at most."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Yuan Shu couldn't accept this fact.
He owns half of the Yuan family, how could he be reduced to such a state?
He stood up restlessly and walked around.
"Yan Xiang, please continue to think of a way for me to drive away Cao Cao and others outside."
Yuan Shu roared again.
Yan Xiang felt miserable. If he could still do it, why would he do this?
It was agreed at the beginning not to proclaim himself emperor, but Yuan Shu refused to listen to him and had to listen to the deceptions of Yang Hong and Yuan Huan, otherwise he would not have reached this point.
Yuan Shu said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Find a way for me!"
He didn't want to think that after only a few days as emperor, he would be overthrown by Cao Cao and Sun Ce. However, as soon as he said these words, he felt extremely hot and his mouth was so dry that he shouted: "Where's the water? I'll let you carry it." Where’s the water?”
The hotter it gets, the more impatient he becomes.
The whole person seemed to be burned by fire.
A maid quickly brought a bowl of water over.
Yuan Shu took a sip and sprayed it directly on the maid's face. Then he threw the bowl on the ground and said angrily: "You don't know that I only drink honey water? Do you dare to bring me water? I've rebelled against you!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
The maid trembled all over, then knelt down and begged for mercy.
"roll!"
Yuan Shu kicked the maid hard and said in displeasure: "Send me some honey water!"
Yan Xiang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we are almost out of food. Where can we get the honey water?"
"I asked you to find a way to defeat the enemy, but I didn't ask you to discuss food. You..."
Maybe it was due to the weather, or maybe it was because Cao Cao and Sun Ce were pushing too hard. Yuan Shu found that his mood was getting more and more irritable recently.
He is always angry and furious, and he can't help but curse others.
This was the case now, but when he was so angry, he felt a pain in his head, his whole body shook, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he staggered down.
"His Majesty!"
Yan Xiang and others saw him and hurried over to help Yuan Shu.
"Honey...I want honey water..."
Yuan Shu has been thinking about that bowl of honey water.
It seems that if you can't take a sip, you won't be willing to die even if you die.
——
Outside Jiangting City.
Cao Cao and Sun Ce met and discussed how to attack Jiangting together. Sun Ce would attack the south of the city and Cao Cao would attack the north of the city at the same time.
Before taking action, Cao Cao received news again. Jia Xu moved quickly and led Zhang Xiu and Cao Ren to sweep through other counties in the Huainan region. The guards in those cities knew that Yuan Shu was trapped in Jiangting and that the situation was over. They did not want to resist and came out to surrender directly.
Cao Cao successfully controlled most of Huainan.
"What do Duzhi and Fengxiao think, how can we defeat this city?"
Cao Cao looked at the tower and asked.
Guo Jia first said: "Today Yuan Shu is at the end of his strength. Jiangting is probably his final destination. There should be tens of thousands of people holding on in the city, but we have joined forces with Sun Bofu and have stronger troops. It is actually very simple to break the city. , I think a strong attack is enough.”
Cao Cao asked: "What do you think of Du?"
Chen Zhou said: "I don't think there is any need to fight. I guess Yuan Shu will be dead soon. Once Yuan Shu dies, Jiangting will be destroyed."
"Is Watanabe serious?"
Cao Cao and Guo Jia asked this sentence in unison.
They were all surprised that Chen Zhou would judge Yuan Shu's outcome in this way. They couldn't believe it, but considering Chen Zhou's unpredictable methods, they couldn't completely doubt it.
Chen Zhou said: "Of course I'm serious, there should be results soon."
Skeleton King Yuan Mi Tang should be asking for honey water now.
The two of them were doubtful.
However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce made an agreement to attack the city tomorrow, regardless of whether Yuan Shu will die or not. They will attack the city tomorrow as agreed. Even if Yuan Shu is not dead, he will be killed.
But there was no waiting for the next day.
On the night they agreed, when Cao Cao was about to rest, the war drums in the army were suddenly beaten. It seemed that something big was going to happen, so he hurried out to ask what happened.
"Uncle, the people in Jiangting City suddenly broke out. Tens of thousands of them wanted to break out of the city."
Cao Peng came over first and said.
Cao Cao was surprised when he heard this: "What? Yuan Shu is going to fight out? Don't let him escape, quickly arrange an army to intercept him."
Not only Cao Ying was alarmed, but Sun Ying was also alarmed.
When Sun Ce heard that the people in the city wanted to break out, the first thing he thought of was that Yuan Shu did not want to be trapped in the city and wanted to break out and escape. How could he succeed, so he directly sent an army to intercept and kill them.
The combined forces of Cao Cao and Sun Ce rushed towards Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of people.
"Ten thousand people will come to cut off the queen."
Yan Xiang, as the commander-in-chief of the breakout, shouted: "Fight at the same time, retreat to the west."
The remaining soldiers of Yuan Shu were loyal to him.
These people, at this moment, are still willing to fight for Yuan Shu.
Cao Cao and Sun Ce continued to lead troops to attack, but they still could not break through the defense line. Yan Xiang's breakout was obviously premeditated and had been planned long ago. He had already calculated how to break off the rear and how to use the dark night situation to rush out.
In the end, they had no choice but to let them escape.
Chen Zhou got the news of Yuan Shu's breakthrough and went out to take a look. He saw figures shaking in the dark night, firelight flickering, a large number of soldiers running away, and a large number of soldiers constantly chasing and killing.
Chen Zhou found Cao Cao and was about to ask what happened. Xu Chu in front ran back and said: "My lord, we captured a few soldiers of Yuan Shu's men. They said that it was not Yuan Shu who wanted to break out tonight, but Yan Xiang leading Yuan Shu's attack." My son Yuan Yao breaks through."
Cao Cao asked: "Why Yuan Yao and Yan Xiang, not Yuan Shu?"
"They said that Yuan Shu was dead. Yan Xiang did this to send Yuan Shu's coffin away from Jiangting and go to other places."
When Xu Chu said this, he was extremely shocked.
During the day, he also heard Chen Zhou's prediction of Yuan Shu's fate.
Chen Zhou said directly that Yuan Shu was about to die soon.
But less than a day later, this judgment became reality. It was really not long before the person died at night.
Damn it...
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were shocked and looked back at Chen Zhou at the same time.
The eyes are full of wonder!
"Really dead?"
Guo Jia immediately asked again: "Zhong Kang is not mistaken, is he? Yuan Shu is really dead?"
"Really dead."
Xu Chu nodded firmly, there was absolutely no mistake.
