Han family achievements

Chapter 589 The situation is determined
Huangfu Jian, Cheng Yu and others naturally couldn't guess what Zhang Liao was doing. After waiting for a while and hearing no more news, they quietly left the mountain and headed for Kuaiji.

Huangfu Jianchang, Cheng Yu and others couldn't figure it out, but the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang quickly understood it.

Zhang Liao's two armies, five thousand of which were cavalry, moved at lightning speed straight between Wanling and Liyang, separating the two brothers.

At the same time, the subsequent infantry were speeding up and rushing over in an orderly manner.

This action shocked Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Their two armies were separated, which not only blocked the possibility of their alliance, but also surrounded them.

The imperial army is advancing steadily and orderly. Once they all arrive, they will be surrounded and killed!
The first one to get anxious was Yuan Shang. He ignored Guo Tu and sent people directly to Yuan Xi's military camp to discuss forming an alliance to jointly fight against the government army.

Guo Tu watched coldly from the side, and was really frightened in his heart. Secretly, he also started writing letters to Huangfu Jian.

But I didn't receive a reply yet.

On the other hand, Yuan Xi personally went into battle, ready to support Zhang He and defeat Guan Yu in one fell swoop.

"This is our last chance to survive!"

Yuan Xi was wearing armor and sitting on his horse. He looked at Feng Ji, Yuan Huan and others who were still trying to persuade him. He had a firm gaze and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to talk about surrender will be killed immediately!"

He is not stupid. If Feng Ji, Yuan Huan and others almost made it clear to him, what is there for him not to understand?
But he refused and would rather die than surrender!
Yuan Huan sighed inwardly and said, "Second Master, if you make a move, Zhang Liao will definitely send troops to attack Guan Yu from both sides. I think it is better to stay still for now and respond to any changes with the same attitude."

Yuan Xi looked towards the southwest and sneered, "No matter how stupid Yuan Shang is, he should have realized by now that if Zhang Liao moves, he will definitely send troops as well. It's hard to say who will attack whom from both sides!"

Feng Ji shook his head silently and stopped Yuan Huan from speaking.

The court must have a foolproof plan in place to make such an arrangement. Yuan Xi's move was too risky and the consequences were disastrous.

Yuan Huan wanted to struggle a bit, and regardless of Feng Ji's obstruction, he continued, "Second Young Master, instead of dealing with Guan Yu, why don't you join forces with Third Young Master to attack Zhang Liao together? He has not yet established a firm foothold, and if we attack him from both the north and the south, he will surely be defeated!"

Yuan Xi didn't look at him, holding his sword, he said in a deep voice: "If I can send them out, can they come back? No need to wait, just this one battle, whether I live or die, I will be worthy of my father, and I won't blame you guys!"

Gao Gan was so excited by what he said that he immediately said, "Second Master, as long as I am alive, no one can hurt you at all!"

Yuan Xi nodded heavily, whipped his horse, and galloped out.

High-ranking officials were guarding him beside him, and behind him were the royal cavalry who filed out, raising a cloud of dust and a murderous aura.

Feng Ji and Yuan Huan looked at each other, both of them looked helpless, and the last trace of worry in their eyes disappeared.

"Let's go see Zhuge Jin." Yuan Huan sighed.

After Yuan Shao's death, his two sons started fighting among themselves, and today, the situation is hopeless.

Feng Ji nodded silently.

They are all smart people, and what will happen next can actually be clearly predicted.

Soon, Zhuge Jin was invited out from the courtyard where he was under house arrest.

Zhuge Jin looked at the empty camp and shook his head, saying, "Everyone says Yuan Shang is similar to Yuan Shao, but now it seems that Yuan Xi is more similar."

Feng Ji said calmly, "I heard that Cai Mao has surrounded Kuaiji. I hope Brother Zhuge will keep his promise and protect my people."

Although Zhuge Jin was under house arrest, he was not completely ignorant of the outside world. Feng Ji did not do anything too extreme and never completely blocked Zhuge Jin's communications. Zhuge Jin paced, thinking about the current situation, and said, "Yuan Xi will probably not come back this time. The Right Sima is in charge of the military affairs of the five states of Yu, Xu, Jing, Jiao, and Yang. Guan Yu, the Lieutenant General, has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there are also 20,000 hidden soldiers in Yuzhou."

When Yuan Huan listened, he felt cold all over.

He seemed to have seen Zhang He and Yuan Xi rushing into a huge, pitch-black bag.

Although Feng Ji did not think of this, he knew in his heart that the imperial court would not let Yangzhou go this time and must have prepared sufficient backup plans.

Therefore, he was not surprised at all, but asked: "What about Yuan Shang? What is the court's plan?"

Zhuge Jin looked towards Wanling and said, "I heard that Yuan Shang also sent out his troops, and there are only 20,000 soldiers left in Wanling? If Yuan Xi is dealt with here, the government troops will enter Liyang with great momentum. How long do you think Yuan Shang can hold out under the pressure of the army?"

Feng Ji nodded gently and sighed, "The situation is set."

Yuan Huan remained silent.

If the two Yuan brothers could unite with one mind, the imperial court would not have such a chance. An army of 80,000 is not a piece of cake, and the imperial court would have to wait until spring to eat its way through it.

Zhuge Jin took in the expressions of the two men, smiled, and said, "You two, follow me to see Xun Pushe and Zhang Zhonglangjiang."

When it came to the festival, Yuan Huan immediately showed a respectful look on his face and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhuge. The two of us..."

Zhuge Jin raised his hand, interrupting their "pleasures", and said: "Save these words for Xun Pushe. Nanyang, Runan, and Yingchuan have been inseparable since ancient times. You two, think carefully about your words. Xun Pushe is not a narrow-minded or violent person."

"Yes, yes, yes." Feng Ji, Yuan Huan continued talking.

They are now as humble as dust, while Xun You, one of the three ministers of the Shangshutai, is the star in the sky, whom they admire from afar.

They are also the ones who decide their future life and death, wealth and poverty!
While Zhuge Jin was on his way with Feng Ji and Yuan Huan, Zhang Liao was inspecting the military camp with Xun You.

Xun You looked at the army and smiled to Zhang Liao with satisfaction, "I heard that these are the veterans you trained in Xuzhou. They are indeed full of vigor and vitality."

Zhang Liao rode his horse and leaned forward without changing his expression.

Xun You smiled and nodded to the captain standing in the front from time to time. After walking for a while, he suddenly turned his head to look at Sima Lang behind him and asked, "Where is the right Sima?"

Sima Lang looked serious and said, "Reply to You Pushe, there is no news for the time being."

Xun You turned to Zhang Liao and asked, "Wenyuan, do you know?"

Zhang Liao immediately said, "Xun Pushe has read the letter I received, and there is no other contact."

Xun You thought for a moment and said, "I think they are in a trap. Zhang He has gone in, so Yuan Xi won't be far behind. The only one left is Yuan Shang. Wenyuan, do you have any new ideas?"

Zhang Liao was a little surprised and asked, "A new idea? What does Xun Pushe mean?"

Xun You stopped, looked in the direction of Wanling, chuckled, and said, "Let's put on a big show for Yuan Shang."

Zhang Liao pondered in his heart, and said calmly: "Please give me some advice, Xun Pushe."

Xun You looked up at the sky and said, "It might rain."

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to ask again, Xun You continued, "The south is better, but the north is bitterly cold. Huang Zhong had to withdraw his troops, and the army stopped in Jicheng. There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and countless money and food are consumed every day. We don't know how much more will be consumed in the future..."
