Gao Lan and his men were shouting and scolding in front until evening, but Dong Zhuo still didn't come out, so he had to withdraw his troops.
In the back hall of Qiao County, Yuan Shu's smile never faded, and he exchanged cups with everyone, feeling extremely happy.
But those who are interested can see that Yuan Shu is forcing a smile on his face, but he doesn't know how angry he is in his heart.
After drinking for a while, Yuan Shu couldn't help it anymore. He blushed and looked at Tian Feng, Xu You, Yuan Huan and others, and said: "The old thief can't retreat, and there are 30,000 troops of Gongsun Zan and Xu Rong in Yingchuan. What should we do? "
Yuan Shu's current situation is that he can't attack by force, he can't lure the enemy out, and he is stuck here.
Although Dong Zhuo is under greater pressure, Yuan Shu's inability to attack for a long time will definitely damage morale. Moreover, more and more people are defecting to him. It seems that the army is strong, but the money and food consumed are also increasing day by day.
In short, Yuan Shu cannot keep delaying!
Tian Feng said nothing and drank by himself.
Xu You shook his head as if tasting wine.
Yuan Huan looked serious and kept thinking, and after a moment he said: "My lord, why don't we come to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
Yuan Shu's expression perked up and he said, "How can we surround Wei and save Zhao?"
Yuan Huan glanced at the others and said, "My lord, if we send troops from Liang State and march directly into Shanyang County, can Dong Zhuo still sit still?"
Xu You suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Lord, pretend to attack Shanyang County and ambush us halfway!"
Yuan Huan quickly followed: "That's what I mean."
Although Yuan Shu drank a lot of wine, his consciousness was still very clear. He thought about it in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's the plan! I wonder if the old thief can still sit still!"
As Yuan Shu spoke, he gritted his teeth and hated Dong Zhuo more than ever.
At first, everyone in the Yuan family thought that Dong Zhuo would be the helper of the Yuan family. Yuan Wei even went to Bingzhou in person to invite Dong Zhuo to the capital.
As a result, Dong Zhuo counterattacked and sent the Yuan family into genocide!
Everyone could tell that they were very clear about the grievances and resentments between the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo, so they did not dare to say anything more.
The next day, early in the morning.
Gao Lan led 5,000 men in a tight formation, and the soldiers yelled in the direction of Chen County.
"Dong Zhuo, you are a barbarian from Xiliang. Your ancestors have no virtue, and you will not leave any trace of it!"
"Dong Zhuo, you are ungrateful, framed Zhongliang, and killed aristocratic families. People and gods are outraged!"
"Dong Zhuo, you are a timid young man, hiding in the city, how can you be considered a famous general of Xiliang!"
…
From morning till noon, there was no movement in Chen County.
Yuan Shu watched from a distance, feeling angry and unhappy.
Yuan Huan saw it from the side and whispered quickly: "My lord, please don't fall into the trap of the old thief Dong Zhuo. If you wait for a while, the old thief will definitely not be able to sit still!"
Yuan Shu has already sent people to pretend to attack Shanyang County in Yanzhou.
Yuan Shu's eyes were cold, he held his sword tightly, and said angrily: "I must skin and bones the old thief Dong Zhuo, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Yuan Huan, Xu You and others didn't say anything. Now it was up to Dong Zhuo to see whether he would be fooled or not.
In Chen County.
Hua Xiong quickly entered the back hall and said urgently: "Dong Gong, Yuan Shu has sent troops to the Liang Kingdom. It seems that he is going to attack Shanyang County."
Dong Zhuo was watching the singer dance. Without turning his head, he stared at the dancer with gleaming eyes and said, "I don't even save Luoyang, so why should I care about Shanyang County?"
Jia Xu on the side looked thoughtful and shook his head secretly.
Hua Xiong was startled when he heard this and said: "Dong Gong, if Shanyang County falls, then Yuan Shu can encircle Chen County."
Dong Zhuo glanced at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Let him fight. I also want to see what Cao Cao is capable of."
Cao Cao was still waiting for Xu Rong to change defense and did not leave.
Hua Xiong was puzzled, but he still raised his hand and said, "Yes, I will retire at the end of the day."
Dong Zhuo didn't care at all, his eyes were roaming over the leading dancer.
…
For three days, Yuan Shu tried his best to lure Dong Zhuo out of the city, but failed.
"Old thief Dong Zhuo!"
Outside Qiao County, Yuan Shu chopped off the short log in front of him with his sword, his expression gloomy and terrifying.
Xu You, Yuan Huan and others did not dare to speak and stood quietly not far away.
Dong Zhuo was so tolerant that he couldn't even shrink back to this point!
Yuan Shu vented his anger, turned around, looked at the counselors, and said, "What other methods do you have?"
Yuan Huan had no other choice but to attack by force, but Yuan Shu definitely disagreed with this method.
Xu You had a calm face, glanced at Tian Feng, Yuan Huan and others, and said pretentiously: "Master, based on my inference, Dong Zhuo's food and grass will not last for ten days at most!"
Yuan Shu was startled, then hurriedly took a few steps over and said, "Is what Ziyuan said true?"
Xu You looked proud and said: "The imperial court does not have much money and food at all. The money and food for Dong Zhuo's 30,000 troops were all looted from all over Chen County. There are still several months before the summer harvest. My subordinates estimate that it will be the end of the tenth day." limit!"
Yuan Shu's expression changed for a while, and he sneered: "What a thief Dong, he actually bullied me like this!"
Xu You shook his head and said with more certainty: "I'm sure that Dong Zhuo will definitely leave the city within three days!"
Yuan Shu stared at Xu You with lightning eyes and said, "Please Ziyuan please speak clearly."
Xu You felt the attention from all around, and the smile on his face became more and more, and he said: "Money and food are one thing, have you forgotten, lord, and the edict of the usurping little emperor in Luoyang? If Dong Zhuo continues to delay, the court will definitely not tolerate Dong Zhuo. Old thief."
Yuan Shu was greatly moved and a little unsure, so he looked at Tian Feng and Yuan Huan.
Yuan Huan knew that Tian Feng would not speak, so he quickly raised his hand and said: "Lord, I agree with Ziyuan's view!"
Yuan Shu had murderous intent on his face and said in a deep voice: "Okay! In three days, I will personally cut off the head of old thief Dong!"
Early the next morning.
Zhang Ji showed up first with his troops and formed a formation.
"The sixth generation of the Yuan family and the seven thieves are all cunning and cunning, deceiving the world and stealing reputation, making everyone laugh!"
"Yuan Feng is evil, Yuan Wei is treasonous, and the Yuan family should annihilate the nine clans!"
"My son Yuan Shu, you are running away in fear of crime and neglecting your family. You are even worse than your concubine Yuan Shao!"
Thousands of people from Zhang Ji shouted in unison, and their voices were like thunder, shaking the sky.
Yuan Shu, who was in the middle of the army, listened with sinister eyes and shouted angrily: "Give me the order, command Gao Lan to attack with the whole army and kill them all!"
Yuan Shu could endure it all, but he couldn't bear it if he was not as good as his concubine Yuan Shao!
Gao Lan received the order and swung his sword directly: "Kill!"
Five thousand vanguards, like sharp swords, charged towards Zhang Ji's camp.
"kill!"
This time Zhang Ji did not retreat, but led his army to meet him.
Five thousand people didn't have any bells and whistles, they just strangled together and filled the sky and the fields, and the battle line was extremely long.
From the direction of Chen County, more troops rushed over to support them, and Dong Zhuo's flag was hidden.
Yuan Shu, who was not far away, saw this and looked shocked. He waved his hand and said: "The whole army is coming!"
Yuan Shu's 30,000 elite troops rolled forward like a tide.
"kill!"
Zhang Ji shouted loudly and fought with Gao Lan, inseparable.
Behind Zhang Ji, Dong Zhuo holds a sword in his hand, tall and majestic, with a stern face.
Jia Xu stood aside, silently calculating for a while, and then said: "Dong Gong, it's almost done."
Dong Zhuo's old face was as iron as steel, and he turned around and walked down the city without saying a word.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ji's barely supported army quickly collapsed, and the five thousand men began to retreat rapidly.
"Pursuit!"
When Yuan Shu saw this, he felt greatly inspired. Although he was in the rear army, he still continued to issue orders.
Xu You, Yuan Huan and others couldn't help but look happy when they saw it.
Gao Lan led his army in hot pursuit.
Zhang Ji did not look back, and fled with his troops. He did not return to Chen County at all, but ran towards Yingchuan.
In less than a stick of incense, Xu You suddenly woke up and said urgently: "Quick, send someone to inform the lord, there may be a trap!"
A fast horse galloped out and chased Yuan Shu.
"Dong Zhuo, old thief, don't leave!"
Yuan Shu was enraged and led his army to pursue him.
Dong Zhuo ignored him and ran away.
At the top of Chen County City, Jia Xu looked at it, flicked the corner of his clothes, and caught a glimpse of the stain and some marks. He couldn't help but frown, and turned around slowly to leave.
Yuan Shu was chasing Dong Zhuo, but suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted: "Stop!"
The sound of Ming Jin suddenly sounded, orders were issued one after another, and the army Yuan Shu was chasing gradually stopped.
"Lord!"
The flag soldiers followed up and said anxiously: "Commander Xu said that Mr. Dong is afraid of an ambush!"
Yuan Shu snorted coldly, suppressed his anger and said, "I know!"
Although he was filled with anger, Yuan Shu did not lose his mind. Dong Zhuo's behavior today was too abnormal.
"Lord, it's not good!"
Suddenly, a cavalryman rushed over and shouted: "Dong Zhuo sent people to attack the grain and grass warehouse!"
Yuan Shu's expression changed immediately, and before he could react, tens of thousands of troops suddenly poured out from the left and right sides from a short distance away.
"My little Yuan Shu, please accept your fate!"
Niu Fu took the lead and headed straight for Yuan Shu's center position.
"kill!"
Guo Bang came over from the other side, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the murderous intent was like a rainbow.
Yuan Shu looked grim and gritted his teeth and said: "Old thief Dong Zhuo! You are not allowed to retreat! I am ordered to cut off the rear!"
Yuan Shu knew that he had been tricked by Dong Zhuo, but he did not withdraw his troops and tried his best to stabilize the army.
Niu Fu and Guo Si followed closely and fought hard.
On the other side, Li Jue and his men were violently attacking Qiao County.
Niu Fu and Guo Si were fighting hard, but Yuan Shu's army was not completely defeated. Coupled with their superior strength, the two sides gradually turned into a fight.
From morning to noon, the two sides gradually became stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Dong Zhuo was supervising the army from the rear. Seeing that he could not easily win, his expression was extremely bad.
His troops were somewhat scattered and he underestimated Yuan Shu!
The back hall of Chen County.
Hua Xiong stood next to Jia Xu and said: "Military advisor, Yuan Shu's grain and grass were not burned much, and Qiao County was not captured. What should we do now?"
Jia Xu looked calm and said: "This is the best."
Hua Xiong was startled, what's the best?
Jia Xu didn't explain. He looked out the door and thought to himself: Is Gongsun Zan not here yet?
Not far from the battlefield, Gongsun Zan led ten thousand people and lurked in a valley. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was a little weak, he still had no intention of sending troops.
Zou Dan stood beside him and whispered: "General, don't we send troops?"
Gongsun Zan has accumulated a lot of depression recently. If Lu Zhi had not repeatedly protected him, he would have been taken to Luoyang for punishment.
"Wait a moment." Gongsun Zan's face full of grooves twitched a few times, waiting for the most suitable opportunity.
'Yuan Shu, if you don't take revenge for this, I swear you won't be a human being! Gongsun Zan's eyes were blood red with murderous intent.
Being easily defeated by Qu Yi, Gongsun Zan's reputation suffered a huge impact, from being a "famous frontier general" to being "in vain" overnight.
After half an hour, Gongsun Zan observed that Dong Zhuo was about to be defeated, mounted his horse fiercely, and shouted: "Follow me to attack!"
The five thousand cavalrymen of the White Horse Yi Cong rushed out as Gongsun Zan, and the sound of horse hooves made the ground tremble.
Yuan Shu's army, which became more and more courageous as he fought, did not panic when he saw more officers and soldiers approaching. A supporting army suddenly appeared from behind the army.
"Gongsun Zan, Zhang He comes to fight!"
Zhang He met Gongsun Zan's cavalry with flying flags and rumbling momentum.
Yuan Shu sat on the Chinese army chariot, his expression changing from frightened to joyful to sluggish and now calm and composed. In just half a day, he experienced an unprecedented mental journey.
At the head of Chen County City, Hua Xiong looked worried and said to Jia Xu: "Military advisor, Yuan Shu has so many reinforcements. I'm afraid Dong Gong won't be able to hold on."
Yuan Shu was obviously prepared. Instead of revealing his 50,000-strong army, he also hid Zhang He's hidden force.
Jia Xu remained calm, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's almost done."
The sun was already setting and it was getting dark, so both sides had to withdraw their troops no matter what.
Dong Zhuo had a total of 30,000 troops, and even though he had a huge early advantage, he was slowly being wiped out by Yuan Shu.
Dong Zhuo plus Gongsun Zan's 40,000 troops faced Yuan Shu's 70,000 troops. The two sides were stuck together and fought for several hours. In the end, there was no winner, and they all retreated before dark.
Returning to the camp, Yuan Shu looked unwilling and filled with anger and nowhere to vent.
"If it weren't for the old thief's insidiousness, I would definitely be able to chop off his head today!" Yuan Shu shouted angrily.
Tian Feng, Xu You, Yuan Huan and others sat at the bottom. Although they were afraid, they also re-estimated Dong Zhuo's strength.
After Yuan Shu vented his anger for a long time, Xu You said with a stern face: "My lord, this Dong Zhuo is not only sinister, but his men are all the elites of Xiliang. One is worth ten, so you have to deal with it carefully."
Yuan Shu sat there with anger on his face and did not speak.
This was the first time that he had been defeated since his "Qing Jun Side", and he was defeated at the hands of Dong Zhuo!
Yuan Huan observed Yuan Shu's face and said quickly: "My lord, in the opinion of the lower officials, Dong Zhuo is not easy to defeat. It is better to continue attacking Xuzhou to build up momentum!"
"no!"
Yuan Shu flatly rejected it and said coldly: "I will not give up until I kill the old thief!"
Yuan Huan did not dare to speak anymore, Yuan Shu was obviously angry.
Xu You also said no more. In this situation, too many words would lead to many mistakes.
At this time, a soldier hurried in, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xun Zhonglang will defeat Wang Rui in Anyang and capture more than 3,000 soldiers. Wang Rui has led his troops back to Jingzhou."
Yuan Shu nodded heavily, his face looked much better, he patted the table and said: "Okay!"
Tian Feng, Xu You, Yuan Huan, Guo Tu and others all have different personalities. Xu You's eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "My lord, if we go south and capture Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, then the south will be my lord's world, and our strength will be greatly increased." , it only takes one word to crush little Dong Zhuo!"
Yuan Shu frowned, looked directly at Yuan Huan, and said with a gloomy face: "Is there any way to help me quickly defeat the old thief Dong Zhuo?"
Yuan Huanneng had already thought about it, and there was no other way. He thought hard and said: "My lord, Dong Zhuo doesn't have enough food and grass. If this plot fails, the morale of the army will be greatly reduced! It's better to wait for General Qu Zhonglang to occupy Xuzhou. With assistance from the side, Dong Zhuo can be defeated within a matter of seconds!"
How could Yuan Shu continue to endure, he sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "If anyone helps me defeat the thief, I will reward a county with land and tens of millions of money!"
