Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396 Puyang
Three days have passed since Liu Qi led the army to capture Dongjun.

But Yuan Shao asked people to take away all the food and materials in Dongjun, which could be taken away, leaving countless people and an empty city for Liu Qi.

The helpless Liu Qi distributed the gathered food to the people of Dongjun, which also spread in the Central Plains.

This is a rather ruthless strategy.

Although many people were angry with Yuan Shao's actions, especially the people in Jizhou, after all, it might be them next time, but complaints are always complaints, and they dare not take any action.

As for Cao Cao and the others knew, they did not take any action.

It was only Cao Cao who asked the imperial court to issue an imperial edict of condemnation, and continued to lead his troops to jointly attack the land of Youzhou with Liu Bei.

but.

Although Liu Qi temporarily alleviated the plight of the people in Dongjun without food.

There was no confusion among the people of Dongjun either.

However, it is well known that Liu Qi's army does not have enough food and grass.

Although there was Liu Qi in the army who came out to promise that the soldiers would divide the daily food equally, and the soldiers didn't have any complaints, but it became somewhat impossible to continue to send troops to Jizhou.

Soldiers who can't even eat enough to eat have the strength to fight on the battlefield.

The situation of the people in Dongjun is being stabilized.

Liu Qi also drove his army to Puyang and set up camp, facing the [-] Yuan army in Puyang across the river.

Among Puyang.

The chief general is also Yan Liang, and there is also an accompanying chief book reviewer.

After evacuating from Dongjun, Yan Liang and Shenpei led the [-] defenders from Dongjun to Puyang to garrison, as the first line of defense to prevent Liu Qi from leading an army into Jizhou.

Although the army led by Liu Qi no longer has the strength to attack Jizhou, it still needs to be on guard.

The city wall of Puyang.

Many soldiers held long spears and stood upright, looking into the distance.

There are also countless flags everywhere on the city wall, waving in the wind.

The center of the city wall passage.

A general in full body armor, holding his sword in his hand, looked at the faintly visible riverside in the distance. On the opposite side of the riverside, there is now the camp of the Jingzhou Army.

This person is also Yan Liang.

There was an unknown look in his eyes, and the expression on his face was not very good, standing there quietly by himself.

I don't know how long.

"Ah~~"

Yan Liang let out a long sigh, and he didn't know why he sighed.

"General Yan, why are you sighing?"

Suddenly, behind Yan Liang, a voice sounded.

Hear this word.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Yan Liang's eyes, and he didn't turn his head, let alone talk to him. He didn't need to think, he knew who was coming behind him.

I see.

The one who came behind Yan Liang was a scribe, who was also the judge and judge Zhengnan.

Seeing that Yan Liang didn't respond.

The judge didn't pay too much attention, and walked to Yan Liang's side, with that signature smile on his face, looking into the distance.

"Your Excellency is not in the city, why did you come to the city wall?" Yan Liang said with a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He didn't believe that the judge just wanted to come up to blow the wind.

Regarding Yan Liang's tone.

The judge didn't seem to care too much, and said with a smile: "I'm just here to see how long Liu Qi can last. The daily consumption of an army of 15 is a huge number, let alone Dongjun behind him. Even if there is a steady stream of supplies from the rear, it is impossible for them to go any further!"

If Liu Qi had enough food and grass, he would not be peacefully settling on the opposite side of the river, but would be far away from Puyang, but would directly send troops to attack.

"Hmph!" Yan Liang snorted unhappily.

Although he wanted to defeat the Jingzhou army led by Liu Qi, he was unwilling to use such a tactic. It was a joke about the lives of countless people in Dongjun.

"Hehe, why should General Yan be angry with me? You must know that I am not the one who proposed this plan. I just agreed, and it was also decided by the lord."

"What's more, in this way, the Jingzhou army can be suppressed very well, so that Liu Qi can't lead the army into Jizhou, and the lord can also complete the plan. As long as the plan is successful, he can turn around and deal with Liu Qi. How could it be the lord's opponent, what was lost can be regained!"

"It is still possible to take the opportunity to make Liu Qi slump, and the lord will be able to make further progress in achieving his great cause. Why not exchange the smallest loss for the greatest gain?"

"The collection is just the food and materials of some common people. For the sake of the great cause of the lord, it doesn't matter if you bear a little infamy. Don't forget, history is always written by the victors. If you can achieve great things, you will only remember them. The lord's great achievements are nothing but, as for the others, who will remember?"

The judge said excitedly.

It seems that Yuan Shao reached the top, that is a fact.

heard.

Yan Liang also fell silent. He knew that what the judge said was true, but he still didn't accept such an approach in his heart.

Everything that can be done has been done.

He is a general, and he is a loyal general. He cannot disobey Yuan Shao's orders. Although he has resistance in his heart, he still cannot refuse.

Of course, the matter of collecting grain, grass and supplies was still done by the inspector and lead the soldiers and horses, and he only played a suppressive role.

Strategies offered by counselors such as trial and allocation.

He also knew that it was indeed not suitable to entangle with the Jingzhou army.

Seeing that Yan Liang was silent.

There is nothing to say about the trial match. He and Yan Liang are not the same way. He also knows that Yuan Shao is here. Yan Liang's loyalty will not change, unlike their counselors who will invest.

Then he smiled and said: "General Yan, you should pay attention to the situation of the Jingzhou camp. With the current situation, Liu Qi will not be able to last long. There is not enough food and grass in the army. You can suppress it in a short time. There will definitely be changes after a long time. , in that way, the time I have been waiting for will come, and I can take the opportunity to defeat 15 troops in one fell swoop, and if I can take Liu Qi down, it will be a great achievement!"

This is the time to redeem your reputation.

He was very concerned about Anzha's situation in the Jingzhou camp across the river. If he could capture or kill Liu Qi, then he would be able to firmly suppress the rest of the counselors.

"You don't need to be reminded by the judge!" Yan Liang glanced at the judge, and continued: "But, don't forget, the judge, Liu Qi will not make such a mistake. If such behavior occurs, there is only one possibility—— That's a trap."

Done.

He ignored the stunned review.

Putting the saber in his hand, he turned and left.

heard.

The trial match was also speechless, how could he not understand the meaning of Yan Liang's words, but he still had such a chance, but he didn't know how to refute Yan Liang's words.

indeed,

In such a situation, it is very likely that it is a trap, and there is no accident.

Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and left.
