"What is supposed to come will eventually come. Notify General Ji Ling and fight the enemy with all your strength!"
Zhang Xun sighed, everything he did was to welcome Lu Bu's arrival.
When Lu Bu led the army to attack, Zhang Xun was in fear all day long.
When he heard the accurate news, Zhang Xun's mood became more stable, and his anxious heart was relieved.
As Yuan Shu's most powerful general, Ji Ling was also the only general who did not defect.
Zhang Xun counts as one, Ji Ling counts as another, and the rest of the generals all defected and were not at Yuan Shu's disposal. This shows how failed Yuan Shu was as a person.
Therefore, a large number of Confucian scholars are still willing to follow Yuan Shu. After all, they are all disciples of the Yuan family. No matter how they change their identities, they cannot get rid of this identity for a while and can only follow Yuan Shu!
If Yuan Shu dies in battle, then these disciples of the Yuan family will find another way out. After all, they have exhausted their benevolence and will accompany Yuan Shu to the end. They cannot accompany Yuan Shu to death.
"promise!"
The scout general immediately went to bring the news to Ji Mansion.
Ji Ling now looks haggard and has a beard that hasn't been groomed for a long time. He drinks alcohol all day long and is quite decadent.
Such decadence is actually due to Lu Bu.
Ji Ling was deeply hit by Lu Bu's repeated defeats. Originally, he thought he was a fierce general with a global perspective.
But compared with Lu Bu, the gap was so huge that Ji Ling felt deeply ashamed.
Since his defeat to Lu Bu, Ji Ling has been in a state of despair, drinking dull wine in Shouchun City and not caring about worldly affairs.
It is precisely because of this that Ji Ling did not become a military leader like other generals, did not obey Yuan Shu's management, and just immersed himself in his own world.
When Lu Bu didn't attack, Zhang Xun didn't think of Ji Ling. After all, Ji Ling's sense of presence dropped sharply after he failed to recover.
But now there are no generals available in Shouchun City. If Ji Ling doesn't cheer up, he may not even have the generals to resist Lu Bu head-on.
You must know that Zhang Xun is more like a Confucian general, and his military force is not high, only at the level of a first-class military general, while Ji Ling's strength has reached the level of a peerless military general. After discussing with Lu Bu, there are vague signs of a breakthrough.
But this sign of breakthrough never appeared again as Ji Ling fell silent.
"Sir, General Zhang Xun asked you to come over to discuss matters?"
The housekeeper ran to the drunken Ji Ling and said softly.
"What we are discussing is not as important as my drinking."
Ji Ling reluctantly opened his eyes and felt angry when he saw the butler's face.
"General Zhang Xun said that Lu Bu is attacking and is in urgent need of your help."
The housekeeper had no choice but to give the words that Zhang Xun brought to Ji Ling intact.
"Lu Bu? Lu Bu!"
Ji Ling's cloudy eyes finally burst into color when he heard this name.
Nowadays, Lu Bu is probably the only one who can interest Ji Ling.
Ji Ling's wine, because Lu Bu was sober, shouted: "Where is Lu Bu? Go and get my three-pointed two-edged sword quickly. I will fight Lu Bu for three hundred rounds!"
"Sir, Lu Bu hasn't come yet, but General Zhang Xun wants you to come over to discuss how to deal with Lu Bu."
The housekeeper said helplessly.
With Lu Bu as the driving force, Ji Ling finally forced his drunken body to rush to Zhang Xun's mansion. At this moment, civil servants and generals gathered at Zhang Xun's mansion!
Now Yuan Shu has broken the pot and sees no one. The city affairs are handed over to Zhang Xun, while he hides in the palace and acts like a coward. He doesn't care about worldly affairs and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
When Lu Bu attacked, Zhang Xun had no intention of informing Yuan Shu. With Yuan Shu's character, he would just be like a frightened bird. He wanted to escape from Shouchun City rather than stick to Shouchun City.
In this regard, Zhang Xun was good at making his own opinions and doing his own thing, not wanting Yuan Shu to get involved in bad things.
"Do you have any tricks up your sleeve to repel this Lu Bu?"
Zhang Xun asked in a deep voice.
"Chen Lan and others are all old generals under the Holy Majesty. Can we use inducements to divide Lu Bu's army?"
Yang Hong said in a deep voice.
"It can be done, but it is far from enough to repel Lu Bu's army. After all, Lu Bu just defeated Cao Cao and came with great momentum."
"Given Lu Bu's impressive strength, this chaos can probably be easily suppressed."
Zhang Xun said with a solemn expression.
Since the enemy was Lu Bu, Zhang Xun still did his homework before this, and was shocked to see Lu Bu's final glorious performance.
Two of the divine generals died at the hands of Lu Bu, and looking at the entire Shouchun City, the person closest to the divine general was Ji Ling. How could he be an opponent?
After all, Ji Ling had already lost to Lu Bu, so it was impossible to expect Ji Ling to defeat Lu Bu with explosive power.
We can only rely on Shouchun City's defense system, the efforts of many Confucian scholars, and Ji Ling's strength, perhaps we can compete with Lu Bu.
"Other than that, we can only hold on. Shouchun City has a unique geographical location. As long as Lu Bu is delayed for a few months, Lu Bu will retreat."
"After all, Lu Bu has just gone through a big war, and he definitely doesn't have much food and grass under his command. Although we don't have much food and grass, as long as we use it where it should be used, it's still enough, and we can completely defeat Lu Bu!"
Yang Hong said in a deep voice.
"That's all it can do."
Zhang Xun couldn't think of a better way, so he could only rely on the fortified city and do the trick.
"We can contact Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to attack Lu Bu's hinterland. If Lu Bu knows the news, he will definitely withdraw his troops. In this way, the crisis will be solved."
Yuan Yin had an idea and spoke out.
This man was Yuan Shu's disciple. Because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce drew a clear line with Yuan Shu. Even Yuan Yin was forced to suffer disaster and rushed back to Shouchun City.
When Zhang Xun heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yuan Yin. He had to say that this strategy was quite good.
The last time Liu Bei attacked Yuan Shu, he also sent a letter to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu to attack Liu Bei's lair, and he escaped disaster.
The situation this time is similar to last time, except that a different person is attacking. Of course, Lu Bu is more intimidating than Liu Bei.
But Lu Bu also ignored one thing, that is, there are still enemies in Xuzhou who are eyeing Lu Bu, and Liu Bei is one of them.
If Liu Bei launches an attack on Lu Bu's Xiapi City, Lu Bu will definitely return to defend, and the crisis in Shouchun City will be resolved.
This attack will definitely save him, but it was also played by the civil servants and generals under Yuan Shu.
However, this is also based on the fact that Xuzhou is a place of four wars and there are many princes. If Xuzhou is unified by a certain prince, Shouchun City will have no foreign aid to ask for.
Sun Ce in the south has been eyeing Shouchun City, but Liu Biao is even more unwilling to deal with it!
Although the relationship between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu is also quite bad, they have the same enemy, and that is Lu Bu.
Before Lu Bu fell, there was still the possibility of cooperation between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei.
"Then who is willing to persuade Liu Bei to send troops?"
Zhang Xun asked.
"Let me go."
Yang Hong sighed and took the initiative to stand up.
After all, even Yuan Yin, who had made the suggestion just now, chose to shut up at this time, who else could he expect to go?
"Why do you need Liu Bei, a big-eared thief? Why worry about Lu Bu when I am here?"
Ji Ling walked in drunkenly.
"Ji Ling, you are drunk. Go and sober up first."
Zhang Xun couldn't help frowning when he smelled the pungent smell.
"Zhang Xun, give me a good army, and I will take off Lu Bu's head and give it to you!"
Ji Ling said nonchalantly.
"Stop messing around, Ji Ling!"
Zhang Xun wanted to curse. Ji Ling was already defeated by Lu Bu, and he was still uttering arrogant words. This made Zhang Xun regret calling Ji Ling over for discussion.
Originally, Ji Ling was expected to contribute to the defense of Shouchun City, but now it seems that, let alone contribution, if he does not cause trouble, he will already be in high demand.
"I would like to issue a military order. If I can't take down Lu Bu, I will raise my head to see him!"
But Ji Ling was not joking, he said seriously.
It's just that Ji Ling, who smells of alcohol, looks funny when he is so serious.
