Taiyuan City, in the palace.
Now Yuan Shao is even worse.
Yuan Shang became the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty. He happened to be in high spirits and had endless energy and willingness to deal with government affairs. Yuan Shao followed suit and handed over all government affairs of the Jin Palace to Yuan Shang. He drank and enjoyed singing and dancing every day. When the feeling comes, take the singer with you to have a heart-to-heart and in-depth communication.
This is Yuan Shao in recent times.
After continuous beatings, Yuan Shao's body lost a lot of weight, his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and there were a few dark circles.
After all, Yuan Shao is not a time manager and cannot make reasonable arrangements.
Yuan Shang knew what Yuan Shao had done, so he didn't try to persuade him at all. On the contrary, he got what he wanted. Now that his father has lost his desire for power, he can take power openly and squarely, and then eradicate all Yuan Xi's influence in Taiyuan City.
On this day, when Yuan Shang was discussing with Shen Pei to further remove Yuan Xi's remaining troops in Taiyuan City, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and the soldiers hurriedly entered and reported: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
Yuan Shang became the heir to the throne, and he also paid attention to rules. He looked at the panicked soldiers and scolded: "How can you behave in such a panic?"
The soldier said in fear: "Your Majesty, Guan Yu led three thousand cavalry and appeared more than 20 miles east of Taiyuan City, heading towards Taiyuan City."
Yuan Shang's mind felt like it was exploding.
Twenty miles!
Guan Yu appeared with his cavalry, and the cavalry's speed meant they would arrive soon.
Yuan Shang was once on the battlefield in Yijing City. He saw Guan Yu leading his troops to charge and was ambushed and killed by Guan Yu. He was extremely afraid in his bones. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered and asked again: "Is the news true?"
"true!"
The soldiers reported quickly.
The soldier was very panicked and said: "I don't know how Guan Yu appeared. There is no news at all."
"I know, let's explore again!"
Yuan Shang's cheeks twitched and he looked uneasy. He quickly looked at Shen Pei and asked, "Shang Shu, Guan Yu and his cavalry suddenly appeared twenty miles away from Taiyuan City. What should we do?"
Shen Pei also looked very nervous.
Guan Yu suddenly appeared, which meant that Yuan Xi in the east might have been defeated. There may even be Tian Chou's army coming behind Guan Yu.
After thinking about it, the judge said: "Your Majesty, this matter is serious and must be reported to the King immediately for a decision."
Yuan Shang was also confused and nodded hurriedly and said: "Let's go quickly."
He stood up and left in a hurry.
Shen Pei followed Yuan Shang, and the two of them arrived at the backyard of the palace in a blink of an eye, and saw Yuan Shao who was enjoying the dance of the singer. Yuan Shang was suddenly very irritable, feeling that his father was too rotten and too uneasy.
"Back off, everyone."
Yuan Shang ignored Yuan Shao's thoughts and gave the order directly.
Yuan Shao frowned and said: "Xianfu, you are the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, and I have delegated power to you. However, you are not satisfied yet. You even scolded the king's singer. What kind of behavior is this? Do you want me to abdicate the throne? You will be the one. King Jin."
Yuan Shang listened to Yuan Shao's almost complaining and mocking words, but ignored them at all, and quickly said: "Father, Guan Yu appeared twenty miles east of Taiyuan, and Guan Yu brought all cavalry."
brush!
Yuan Shao's expression changed suddenly.
He felt that Yuan Shang was audacious, and originally wanted to beat Yuan Shang up, but now that he heard the news, he no longer had such thoughts, and his expression became even more anxious.
He glanced at Yuan Shang, who was helpless, and at the eager Shen Pei, and directly ordered people to summon Jushu, Feng Ji, Xin Pi, Xin Ping and Xun Chen, and then took Yuan Shang and Shen Pei to the hall to wait.
Not long after, Jushou, Fengji and others all arrived.
Yuan Shao talked about the sudden appearance of Guan Yu with his cavalry, and finally said: "Now that Guan Yu has come to kill me, let's talk about it, what should we do?"
All of them looked solemn.
Guan Yu is here.
This means that Bingzhou's last line of defense, Taihang Baxing, has been broken.
Seeing that no one expressed their stance, Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shou and asked, "Ju Qing, what do you think we should do?"
A flash of light flashed across Jushou's eyes, and he regained his composure in the blink of an eye. Before that, he received a letter from Tian Feng, which was Tian Feng's formal surrender to the Wu Kingdom and hoped that Ju Shou would also serve the Wu Kingdom.
Tian Feng gave some eloquent words of persuasion and talked about Wu's many advantages. Finally, he hoped that Jushou would keep Yuan Shao and not let Yuan Shao leave Taiyuan City.
Tian Feng did not say anything about other plans.
Big plans, impossible to articulate.
Jushou left Yuan Shao behind, thus completing a link in the plan.
If it were the once high-spirited Yuan Shao, Ju Shou would definitely swear loyalty to him. During this period, Yuan Shao, starting from Ye City and then to Taiyuan City, was always in a state of failure, completely ignoring the overall situation and giving up resistance.
Such Yuan Shao disappointed Ju Shou.
If Yuan Shao fights to the death, Jushu is willing to follow Yuan Shao and fight to the death.
However, Yuan Shao indulged in drinking and sex, his body was thin and weak, his eyes had dark circles, and he completely lost his fighting spirit. In addition, Yuan Shang fought for power and only focused on internal fighting, which was completely unable to unite people's hearts.
Jushou did not hesitate and chose to submit.
Jushou heard Yuan Shao's words and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is to guard Taiyuan. Taiyuan City is a fortified city with sufficient food, grass and supplies."
"Now that we are guarding, we can use the city to consume Tian Chou's soldiers and horses, so as not to be defeated."
"If we retreat now, we will be attacked by Guan Yu's cavalry as soon as we leave the county. Back in the Hejian Kingdom, Zhang Jia and Gao Lan were the rearguards. If we retreat now, who can be the rearguard in the face of Guan Yu's cavalry?"
"Once Guan Yu's cavalry comes up, our army outside will be crushed and slaughtered. Your Majesty will not be able to escape at all."
"There is still a glimmer of hope in holding on."
"Escape from Taiyuan and you will definitely fail."
Jushou solemnly said: "I suggest you stay in Taiyuan City, rely on Taiyuan's defense, and hand over the next war to Cao Cao. If Cao Cao loses, the king will either fight to the death or surrender. If Cao Cao wins, we will have an opportunity to fight to the death and win." "
Yuan Shao thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
When they evacuated from Hejian Kingdom, they were covered up by Guan Yu and his men, and Yuan Shao also had a shadow in his heart.
Yuan Shao was afraid that Guan Yu would kill him.
Therefore, after Yuan Shao weighed the situation, he did not ask anyone else, but said loudly: "Ju Qing's arrangement makes sense. Next, we will stay in Taiyuan City and try our best to hold off Tian Chou's army."
He stared at Jusuke and further said: "Jusuke, you will be in charge of military affairs and take charge of the defense of the four-sided city. All generals will obey your arrangements. In this battle, we must guard the four-sided city gates to ensure victory."
"I obey!"
Jushou bowed and saluted.
Yuan Shao looked at Shen Pei again and ordered: "Qing Shen, you are responsible for the logistics. We must provide the necessary supplies of food, grass, materials and equipment to ensure there are no problems. If there are not enough equipment, just demolish the big houses in the city."
"Here!"
The judge responded immediately.
Yuan Shao looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone cooperates sincerely and resist with all their strength."
"As you command!"
Everyone answered in unison and then retreated.
Yuan Shang, Shen Pei, Ju Sue and others left. Yuan Shang also gave some instructions to Ju Sue, but Yuan Shang's tone was stiff and condescending.
Jushu agreed verbally, but didn't take it seriously.
Yuan Shao asked him to take charge of the defense of the four-sided city, which was equivalent to asking him to welcome Tian Chou's army into the city. Every time Yuan Shao makes a choice, he is always wrong and he likes to avoid all correct answers.
Jushou returned home to make arrangements, and then asked his family members to quietly leave the city to see Tian Chou, explain the current situation clearly, and said they would wait for the army at the east gate.
