Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 224
How could Duan Yao dare to fight Xu Rong? When Yuan Shao came to attack the city, he just abandoned the city and surrendered without even thinking about it.

Duan Yan looked at Mianchi, which looked like an iron barrel under siege, sighed, and said to his subordinates: "Raise the white flag and surrender."

His subordinates were used to surrendering, so they took out the prepared white flag and hung it on the top of the city.

Xu Rong at the bottom of the city looked up and saw a white flag was hoisted, fluttering in the wind, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After a while, the gate of Mianchi city was opened, and Duan Wei walked out of the city holding the prefect Yinsui in his hands, and surrendered to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong rode his horse close to Duan Yan, held up Yin Sui in his hand with the big knife in his hand, checked carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he said: "Prefect Duan has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and I will tell the truth in front of the general."

Both of them were Dong Zhuo's former generals, and after a few words, they became acquainted with each other.

After Xu Rong marched into Mianchi City and set up a list to reassure the people, he began to send orders to all counties in Hongnong County, and all counties surrendered one after another, sending all the population and land conditions to Xu Rong.

After Xu Rong ordered people to sort it out, he and Duan Wei sent people to Jinyang. This Hongnong County was under the command of Zhao Qian.

As a result, Pingyang County, Hedong County, and Hanoi County were all under Zhao Qian's control. Although Luoyang was a big city, it was almost surrounded.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao was also proud of his spring breeze. He finally launched an attack on Qingzhou. With Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the vanguard, he divided his troops into two groups and attacked Qingzhou.

Gong Jing, the prefect of Qingzhou, died in battle, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, fled for his life, and Yuan Shao got Qingzhou.

Therefore, Yuan Shao left his eldest son Yuan Tan to guard Qingzhou, and led the army back to Jizhou.

As soon as he returned to Jizhou, Yuan Shao received the news that Mianchi was captured by Xu Rong, and Zhao Qian took Hongnong County into his pocket.

Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to raise troops to attack Zhao Qian, but was dissuaded by everyone.

"My lord, our army has just pacified Qingzhou, and the soldiers are exhausted. It is really not suitable for further expeditions." Ju Shou said.

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Are you going to let that Zhao Qian be arrogant? He is challenging my bottom line!"

Wang Yun took the opportunity to say: "Duke Ming, it's not as good as the fake soldiers and Marquis Wen, who will definitely help Duke Ming take back Hongnong County to show this evil spirit."

Just as Yuan Shao wanted to agree, Guo Tu sneered and said, "Master, as far as I know, when Xu Rong besieged Mianchi, Lu Bu just sat by and idly by. How can my lord hand over the soldiers and horses to such a person?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun quickly argued, "That's because Marquis Wen has no soldiers. If Duke Ming had agreed to increase Marquis Wen's troops before, not only Hongnong, but even Pingyang would belong to Duke Ming now."

After hearing Wang Yun's words, Yuan Shao had a regretful expression on his face, but before he said anything, the judge beside him spoke.

"What Zishi means is that Hongnong County was lost because the lord did not increase his troops to Lu Bu?"

Wang Yun was startled, and when he looked at Yuan Shao again, the expression of regret was completely gone, and he just stared at himself angrily.

"How can I mean that?" Wang Yun quickly denied.

Guo Tu chuckled, and said, "Even if that's not the meaning, even if Lu Bu has more than enough energy, but it's still okay to send a message, right? Why doesn't he even send a message?"

"This..." Wang Yun couldn't answer.

Wang Yun was very depressed, he had long heard that these counselors of Yuan Shao formed cliques, disliked each other, and fought openly and secretly.

This was actually the case, but to Wang Yun's dismay, as soon as the issue of Lu Bu was involved, they seemed to have reached an agreement, all targeting Lu Bu.

Wang Yun was not good at defending, he could barely deal with the last person, but this group of Yuan Shao's counselors were all very shrewd, how could he resist?

Seeing that Wang Yun had nothing to say, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "Let's put aside the matter of Lu Bu for now, and now discuss the matter with Zhao Qian."

"My lord, I still think it is not appropriate to go to war at this time." Ju Shou insisted.

Yuan Shao just watched a few counselors arguing for a long time, half of the anger in his heart has disappeared, and the other half has also been transferred to Lu Bu.

Now that I think about it, it is really not appropriate to send troops, but it is inconvenient for me to say it out, worried that it will damage my image.

Now, after listening to Jushou's dissuasion again, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Do you agree with the public opinion?"

Guo Tu coughed lightly, and said, "I agree with us not to send troops, but this matter cannot be left alone."

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What trick does Gongze have?"

Guo Tu smiled slightly and said, "It's not a clever plan. I just think that someone should be sent to Jinyang to question Zhao Qian why he took my county!"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "That's right, we should send someone to Jinyang. I don't know who is appropriate to send there?"

Guo Tu winked at the judge, then looked at Jushou, the judge understood and nodded slightly.

"My lord, I recommend a suitable candidate," said the judge.

"Who is it?" Yuan Shao asked.

The examiner pointed at Jushou, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong and Hebei are famous scholars. Everyone hopes that they are the best candidates for this trip to Jinyang."

Ju Shou was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the judge would recommend him, and when he saw the smug smile on the corner of Guo Tu's mouth, he knew that it must be his evil idea.

However, before Jushou could refuse, Yuan Shao took the first step and said: "Grand and Mr., can you take a trip and go to Jinyang?"

My lord asked, but Jushou was too embarrassed to refuse. Thinking about it again, it's okay to go to Jinyang, let's just go for a walk.

Jushou stood up, bowed deeply to Yuan Shaoju, and said, "Jushou is willing to go to Jinyang for my lord, to seek justice for my lord."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said, "It's really a blessing that I have a father and help me! Come here, arrange a banquet, and practice it for the father and husband!"

Early the next morning, Ju Shou simply packed his bags, and Yuan Shao sent five hundred soldiers to escort them to Jinyang.

It didn't take long for the news that Jushou was going to Jinyang to reach Zhao Qian's ears. Zhao Qian smiled and said to the people around him: "This Jushou came here to question Master Yuan Shaoxing's crimes. Everyone has a good way to deal with it." .”

"My lord, if you want to unify the world, you will have to fight Yuan Shao sooner or later, and Jushou is Yuan Shao's resourceful man. If you keep him, it will be a disaster. It is better to take the opportunity to get rid of it!" Xun You said.

Zhao Qian nodded, knowing that what Xun You said was right. In history, Yuan Shao's most powerful counselors were Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

Tian Feng has now been used by Zhao Qian and stayed in Youzhou as a state pastor, but Ju Shou had to miss it, and now it has become a trouble.

"My lord, don't get rid of Jushou!" Guo Jia stood up and objected.

Zhao Qian quickly asked, "What's Feng Xiao's opinion?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "If the lord gets rid of Jushou, Yuan Shao will be angry and send troops. At that time, he will be united and it will be very difficult to deal with. It is better to let Jushou go and let them fight on their own, which will be more beneficial to the lord."
