Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 832 Two-pronged approach
In Yecheng, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang summoned their counselors in the Yuan family's mansion. The Wuling army is in Chaoge, and they must discuss a countermeasure.

"Guo Tu, tell me, what should we do now?" Yuan Shang looked at Guo Tu with a malicious look on his face.

If Guo Tu hadn't told him to give up Chaoge, he would have stuck there for at least a while.

"Third Young Master, don't worry. The walls of Yecheng are tall and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Wu Shun has artillery, he won't be able to attack for a while. What we need to do now is to concentrate the entire force of Hebei to fight a decisive battle with the Wuling army. " Guo Tu said.

In Guo Tu's view, defending Chaoge is completely unnecessary. A dilapidated city cannot stop the Wuling army at all.

It's better to concentrate our forces and make preparations in Yecheng, relying on the advantage of the city wall to fight against the Wuling army.

"Mr. Guo Tu, is the city of Xudu tall? It was also captured by the Wuling army! I want to know how the master defends the city." Yuan Xi said.

Yecheng is the foundation of their Yuan family, if they lose it, there is no possibility of recovery.Guo Tu wanted to put all his eggs in one basket, and Yuan Xi expressed concern.

"Second son, Cao Cao and Sun Quan have already sent troops to Xuzhou. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Shu Kingdom are in Hebei. The Sun-Cao coalition forces entered Xuzhou strongly. In order to defend, Wu Shun will withdraw some soldiers and horses. This is our chance."

Guo Tu talked eloquently, but he was not convincing. Yuan Xi always disliked Guo Tu.

"Since the Wuling Army is attacking Hebei, there must be arrangements in Xuzhou and Jingzhou. The possible movements of the Sun-Cao coalition army have long been thought of by the military advisers of the Shu Kingdom. The nearly 20 Wuling Army near Chaoge, sir, how do you plan to take them out?" Repel?" Yuan Xi asked sharply again.

"Second son, our army only needs to defend Yecheng for a month, and the Shu army will retreat by itself!"

Guo Tu said solemnly.

"Oh? How can you be sure, sir?"

Obviously, Yuan Xi would not easily believe Guo Tu's words.The Wuling army was approaching menacingly, with an attitude of not turning back if they were not satisfied with Hebei.

If you can't attack Yecheng in a month, you will automatically withdraw your troops?From Yuan Xi's point of view, this is a daydream!
"Second brother, you don't have to worry, first listen to Guo Tu's reason."

Yuan Shang couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke out to rescue Guo Tu, but Guo Tu was also his own counselor, so he couldn't tolerate Yuan Xi's insistence on it.

"Okay, sir, let's talk about why the Wuling army will retreat." Yuan Xi laughed.

"Second son, third son, there are three reasons why the Wuling army will retreat. First, our army and people in Hebei are defending Yecheng, not giving them a chance to break through the city. If they can't attack for a long time, the morale of the Wuling army will drop; second, the cold winter is coming, which is not conducive to Large-scale operations, and the logistics pressure of the Wuling Army will increase dramatically; third, the Sun-Cao coalition forces are attacking Xuzhou, as long as Xuzhou is broken, they will continue to attack Jingzhou and Yuzhou. At that time, Wu Shun will return to support under pressure." Guo Tu expressed his opinion, and there is some truth to it.

Judging from the normal situation, the retreat of the Wuling Army has become a foregone conclusion!

Don't look at Yuan Jun retreating all the way, even the Xianbei people he invited ran away, but Yuan Shao still had a little foundation left, and Wu Shun still needed to spend a little effort to occupy Hebei.

If Yuan Jun wants to win, there is one basic prerequisite-defend Yecheng!They have no way out, Yecheng cannot be defended, everything is empty talk.

What Guo Tu said made sense to Yuan Xi, but the key point was that he also believed that the Wuling army would not be able to break through Yecheng.

Yuan Xi was persuaded, but there was a person next to Yuan Xi who silently remembered Guo Tu's words. He was Mi Zhu who Wu Shun photographed earlier to help Yuan Xi.

As the gold master of Yuan Xi's forces, Mi Zhu, who invested the most, is naturally qualified to stand here.

……

That night, Mi Zhu handed a piece of cloth to his confidant, and went straight to Chaoge!

On Chaoge's side, the Wuhuan people repaired the city very efficiently. Because of the rewards, they all worked hard.

You can eat meat with a little effort, so why do you want to degenerate and eat porridge?
The Wuhuan people who have eaten meat once are already resistant to eating porridge and cakes. In order to continue eating meat, they work harder than others.

The purpose of repairing the city is to prevent Yuan Jun's possible surprise attack, and the weather is getting colder, so the soldiers need to keep out of the cold.

Wu Shun was very happy when he received Mi Zhu's cloth, and what he was worried about did not happen.The two sons of the Yuan family hardly had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack, and they were already preparing to defend the city.

From the news sent by Mi Zhu, Wu Shun learned that Guo Tu was the only counselor left in Hebei, which was a bit unbelievable.

It stands to reason that Yuan Shao also has many counselors. If Yuan Shao is no longer able to do so, those counselors should continue to assist Yuan Tan and the others.

Why is there only one Guo Tu left?
Maybe those three guys have lost their hearts because of their fighting all these years.In any case, Yecheng must be captured.

"Want to hold on? Let's see how long Yecheng can last!" Wu Shun already had a vague idea of ​​attacking the city.You also need to discuss it with the military divisions.

On the first day of November, Wu Shun summoned his generals and counselors, and the necessary rest was done, and all the necessary supplies were in place. It was time to seize Hebei.

Wu Shun took the top spot and said to everyone: "Everyone, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are going to defend Yecheng to the death. There are 5 elite Yuan soldiers in the city, and the family's private soldiers are not counted! Yuan Jun gave up Chaoge because he wanted to defend Yecheng wholeheartedly. , This will be a tough battle, how to fight it, everyone may wish to discuss it.”

"Brother, what is there to discuss here? Just kill them and attack the city from all sides. None of the Yuan family's boys can escape."

Zhang Xiong came out and said loudly.

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel excited and excited.

is not that right?Just kill them and break through Yecheng and you're done.

"Second brother, this city of Ye is not easy to attack, retreat!"

Wu Shun said with a straight face, Zhang Xiong came out to mess around.

"Your Majesty, what the Second General said is not unreasonable. Weapons Workshop sent another twenty puyuan cannons, which may be able to blast Yecheng directly."

Dongfang Qiang came out and said.

The Puyuan Cannons belonged to their Suzaku Legion. Now, here in Chaoge City, the Suzaku Legion has fifty Puyuan Cannons, and the shells are piled up like a mountain.Enough to make Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang doubt life.

"Okay, as long as you have confidence in Dongfang!" Wu Shun said.

The Puyuan cannon is indispensable for the Wuling army to attack the city, so Yuan Jun will also be prepared accordingly.

Whether fifty cannons can break through the city, no one knows until it is verified.

"My lord, you can use crossbow arrows to shoot the news that our army is going to attack Yecheng into the city, so as to disturb Yuan's army."

Fazheng came out.

Before attacking the city, build up your momentum first. With the prestige of the Wuling Army, it can indeed frighten some timid people.

"The rebel army's morale is not enough, you have to disturb the people's morale. The news is divided into two types, one is for Yuan Jun's soldiers, and the other is for the people in the city. How to determine the content, the four of you discuss it!" Wu Shun directly Arrangements made!

Since you want to break through Yuan Jun's psychological defense, you can simply use two prongs!
