Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 148
The sky is full of dark clouds!Thunder and lightning!Then came the downpour!For the starving people suffering from severe drought, this heavy rain came too timely. The land, farming tools and seeds just allocated, the dry land finally ushered in the nectar from heaven.

Everyone cheered!Greatly praise Li Song's merits!Everyone thinks it is because of the benevolent government of the prime minister!The heavens were moved, and the first rain of the year fell, and Li Song's status in the hearts of these people rose a lot.

Li Song opened the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. The rain fell on the roof and dripped along the eaves, making a tick!tick!sound.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Li Song still stood motionless in front of the window, without looking back, he knew it was Zhang Liao, and said, "Wen Yuan! You are here!"

"Zhang Liao has met the lord!" Zhang Liao came behind Li Song and saluted respectfully.

"How's the situation?" Li Song stretched out his hand to close the window, turned around, walked to his seat and sat down, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Liao to sit down!

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Liao sat down beside him, thanked him, and continued, "Zhang Xun's troops camped not far from Chengde! They didn't continue to advance towards our army!"

"Recently, they retreated another ten miles in the direction of Hefei! From time to time, there are flying cavalry heading towards Hefei."

"It seems! Zhang Xun is afraid of us! But he didn't dare to lead the army back to Hefei directly, so he had to send people back to ask for instructions every day! I just don't know what Yuan Shu means! Or, there are people in Hefei who don't want him to go back." Li Song said .

"Who says no, Zhang Xun only has tens of thousands of soldiers, and our army now has 15 people. Anyone who changes it will feel scared! Zhang Xun is Yuan Shu's personal general! He is Yuan Shu's confidant, and he has never offended anyone on weekdays." People, there should be no one who wants to murder him!" Zhang Liao said.

Speaking of this, the two couldn't help but fell silent, and the rain outside gradually became smaller!A sound of footsteps came from a distance, and the sound was getting closer!

The two looked out the door, only to find that it was Gao Shun who came. Gao Shun stepped over the threshold, saluted Li Song, and said, "My lord! I just received a report from the spies! Zhang Xun is about to leave camp and go back to Feicheng. What should I do? Do I want to pursue it?"

"Oh! They're actually going to run away!" After hearing this, Li Song stood up with a whoosh, "How could they be allowed to run away so easily! Immediately order Wen Ze to lead the cavalry and go out of the city to attack the enemy!"

It even came under my nose, there is no reason to let it go!It would be good to keep Zhang Xun's team first and weaken Yuan Shu's strength.

The gate of Chengde City is open!Yu Jin led [-] cavalry, and charged towards Zhang Xun's camp like a tide. The rain dripped on their armor, and as the horses galloped, their hooves trampled on the stagnant water, splashing everywhere!
In Zhang Xun's camp, after receiving Yuan Shu's order, Zhang Xun led a group of personal soldiers and rushed towards Hefei City first, leaving the lieutenant general and the army to slowly withdraw towards Hefei.

When Yu Jin's army arrived, Zhang Xun's troops only resisted a little, and quickly fled towards Hefei City. Most of the people didn't want to fight at all!Coupled with the fact that Zhang Xun went to Hefei first, these people had no fighting spirit, and they were completely defeated as soon as they came into contact!Everyone was running desperately, who would be stupid enough to stay and wait to die, how could infantry outperform cavalry, let alone a group of soldiers with no leader and low morale.

In the city of Hefei, after learning that Zhang Xun's troops fought the enemy again, they were defeated!Yuan Shu was so angry that he scolded Zhang Xun who had come back earlier!Beat!

Zhang Xun let Yuan Shu beat and scold him!Crouching on the ground, I didn't dare to take a breath, and I didn't even dare to say a word!

"It's up to now! Let's talk about it! What should we do? Li's bandit army will soon come to the city! Could it be that we are just sitting here waiting to die in Hefei City?" Yuan Shu said to his confidant ministers, his voice trembling .

"Your Majesty! I think you should write a letter to your concubine Yuan Shao, assigning your imperial title to Yuan Shao, and asking for his assistance!" Prime Minister Yuan Shu suggested.

"What? How is this possible!" Yuan Shu was shocked after hearing this!The reluctance of the boss in my heart!

"When is this? You still think about this false name. Now, Yuan Shao dominates the three states of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou. He is powerful. With him as backup, we can save our lives! Otherwise, when Li Song's army breaks the city I will die without a place to bury me!" Cheng Guocheng Prime Minister Yan Xiang saw that Yuan Shu was still reluctant to part with his so-called title of emperor at this time, so he was very anxious and persuaded him.

"This... this... let me think about it!" Yuan Shu couldn't make up his mind for a while, walking back and forth in disbelief, constantly frustrating his hands.

Yan Xiang looked at the anxious Yuan Shu in front of him, even he felt anxious for Yuan Shu, sighed secretly in his heart, stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty! What are you waiting for! If you drag it on, it will be too late! If that time..."

"Okay! I have my own opinion on this matter! Don't say any more!" Yuan Shu interrupted Yan Xiang impatiently. For the supreme position of the emperor, Yuan Shu was still very reluctant to give up, so he walked away.

Looking at Yuan Shu who fled away in a huff, Yan Xiang was heartbroken, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Heaven will kill you, Yuan Shu, you are bringing your own destruction!" At this point, Yan Xiang and others had no choice but to turn around and leave, some of them even They all planned to rely on Li Song to avoid the same fate as Yuan Shu.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu was still reluctant to give up the emperor title to Yuan Shao. Besides, Yuan Shao belonged to his father and a low-status maidservant, and Yuan Shu was very unwilling to ask Yuan Shu to give him Yuan Shao's vassal.

He didn't want to give up the title of Emperor to Yuan Shao, so he had to make a decision on Yuan Shu's old subordinate, so Yuan Shu hurriedly sent people to Lujiang and other places to inform Liu Xun, Lei Bo, Sun Lan and others, ready to pick him up!
Yuan Shu's envoy took Yuan Shu's letters to Liu Xun, Lei Bo, Sun Lan and others out of Hefei City, and went to Lujiang and other places to convey the imperial edict of Yuan Shu, the emperor of Cheng Guozhong.

The next day, Li Song's vanguard army, led by Xue Tong and Zhang Liao, arrived at the foot of the city of Hefei first, followed by the left army led by Tan Daoji and others, and the right army led by Gao Shun and others rushed to Hefei one after another. under the city.

An army of [-] surrounded Hefei City, waiting for the arrival of Li Song's [-] Chinese Army and Xu Huang's [-] Rear Army. , The whole army was in constant turmoil.

In the afternoon, Li Song's central army and Xu Huang's rear army finally arrived at the foot of Hefei city. The twelve armies surrounded Hefei city like black clouds!

In the third year of Jian'an, Li Song personally led an army of 12 troops to the city of Hefei, and the second battle against Yuan Shu officially started!
