Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 352 The Battle of Yuxi
In the early morning of the next day, the morning court in the Chengdu Imperial Palace seemed a bit empty, and one-third of the courtiers disappeared inexplicably.

Many people who knew the inside story kept silent, and no one dared to talk about the prime minister's choice of heir in vain.

After the morning court, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and Li Ru stayed behind, and they discovered that Jia Xu had disappeared this morning.

Cao Cao frowned, and asked Li Ru, "Wen You, where is Jia Xu? I didn't see Wen He this morning. Could it be that he thinks I don't have much salary and wants to go on strike?"

Just kidding, Cao Cao seems to have guessed where Jia Xu is.

Li Ru shook his head slightly, he understood that the prime minister was asking the question knowingly.

Xi Zhicai also smiled slightly, and took the initiative to say: "My lord, the army left the city this morning, and the whole city is under martial law. Mr. Jia Xu was taken away by the second son and went south to suppress the Nanman rebellion."

"The prime minister doesn't need to worry about you. Wen He was taken away after being secretly controlled by the second son, and he didn't do it voluntarily. But from this point of view, the second son is bound to win the suppression of the Nanman."

After Cao Cao heard Xi Zhicai shout meaningful words, he snorted coldly, feeling a little dissatisfied with his second son.

Cao Pi is obviously coveting the position of the eldest son. From the time he wins over his clan to taking Jia Xu away now, he is obviously secretly declaring war on his elder brother!

As his eldest son, Cao Ang was still not in a hurry, and he was still reorganizing his troops and did not set off.

Cheng Yu saw what the Prime Minister was thinking, and said: "Prime Minister, it is a good thing that the second son is willing to compete. Li Xian is the most correct choice, not blindly be the heir. However, Mr. Cao Ang is kind-hearted and has made outstanding achievements. If the Second Young Master wants to surpass, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

"Once Mr. Cao Ang realizes the crisis and starts to constantly strive to compete, the eldest son will be even better at that time. Wouldn't it be a good thing for the prime minister to get two better sons?"

Hearing Cheng Yu comforting himself, Cao Cao sighed helplessly and nodded slightly.

Xun Yu frowned. Although he was dissatisfied with such a competition, he didn't fan out to comment.

Xi Zhicai changed the subject and said, "My lord, if General Xiahoudun reacted in time, today should be the day when the army besieged Xiangyang. I'm afraid that Xiangyang has already fallen into the flames of war."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and forgot to look towards the eastern sky outside the Eastern Hall.

Under the city of Xiangyang, Yan Yan's vanguard army has captured the city tower and is about to start street fighting against Xiangyang.

Zhang Fei's cavalry also arrived this morning, and they are currently controlling the Xiangyang East Tower, and are also preparing for street fighting.

Now for Yan Yan, it is no longer about fighting for Xiangyang City, but whether he can capture Yuan Shu and win the jade seal before Zhang Fei!

Once Yuan Shu dies, the three years of chaos in the world can end for a period of time, and the development of Antai can begin.

Yan Yan snorted coldly, and said to the lieutenant beside him: "You control the city tower, I will personally dig Xiangyang City three feet to find Yuan Shu! Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu, who originally wanted to stick to Jingzhou, has no soldiers to use."

"If you encounter soldiers from Zhang Fei who come to seize the city gate, shoot them directly and don't talk nonsense with them!"

Yan Yan rode his horse and led his troops towards the prefect's mansion in Xiangyang City.

Even if Yuan Shu is not in the prefect's mansion now, he must be in Xiangyang City, and he cannot escape.

After Zhang Fei captured the East City Gate, he immediately ordered the deputy general to guard the city, and charged at the prefect's mansion himself.

It's a pity that he encountered a strong block on his side, and nearly three or four hundred Yuan Shu elites were fighting in the street.

In a private house outside the prefect's mansion, Yuan Shu collapsed decadently in the house, still reluctant to part with his jade seal.

Yuan Yao frowned, seeing his father so depraved, his heart ached.

The main reason for him was that he would surely die if he found himself, so he was terrified.

Whether it was Xiahou Dun or Zhang Fei who found this place first, they would definitely kill him and his father, and then take Yuxi away.

The only way now is to delay time, but even breaking out will not help because they have no troops and food.

Originally thought that abandoning Yangzhou and raiding Jingzhou could persist for several years, but no one expected that [-]% of Yuan Shu's soldiers would have a reaction.

With the rebellion of these soldiers, Jingzhou had no soldiers to defend, which caused Zhang Fei and Xiahou Dun to drive straight into Xiangyang.

"The enemy army stops, the soldiers shoot arrows!"

On a street in the city, Yan Yan, who had been driving straight ahead, also encountered the elite Yuan Shu army in ambush in street fighting, and his heart trembled.

"Raise your shield! Don't panic!"

Yan Yan gave an order, then flew off the horse and hid behind the sword and shield soldiers.

Dozens of sword and shield soldiers raised their shields immediately.before the army.

Yuan Shujun's elite volley only injured a dozen Yan Yan soldiers, and the effect was not good.

Yan Yan sneered, and said: "You guys go over there and take down the ambush there!"

Directly ordering the division of troops has reached the point where the army has entered the city, and the enemy is just stubbornly resisting.

Along the way, he encountered several ambushes, but Yan Yan didn't hesitate to deal with it.

In the end, he still hit the prefect's mansion, led his troops directly into the prefect's mansion, and completely controlled the place.

"Search! Be careful, look for Yuan Shu and Yuxi! Be careful when searching, don't damage Yuxi."

Yan Yan ordered the soldiers to start searching the mansion, while he himself led the troops to guard the gate of the prefect's mansion.

After a cup of tea, Zhang Fei also led his troops to fight here, but saw that Yan Yan had already controlled the place.

After seeing Zhang Fei's army, Yan Yan was not afraid at all, and said calmly: "General Zhang, I am Yan Yan, the vanguard under the command of General Xia Houdun. I was ordered to hunt down the rebel Yuan Shu, and look for Yuxi to bring back to Chengdu."

"This is an imperial decree. I also ask General Zhang to quickly withdraw from Xiangyang City and wait for the result outside the city."

Yan Yan took out an imperial decree from his sleeve, and Zhang Fei's heart trembled when he saw it.

The military adviser and elder brother never told him that such a situation would happen, Zhang Fei really didn't know what to do for a while.

The order issued by the military adviser was to obtain the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but he never said that Cao Cao's general would have a barrier of imperial decree.

Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and said to himself, "Brother is a Hanchen, so naturally I can't disobey the imperial decree. It seems that I can only withdraw first and report the situation to my brother!"

Raising the Zhangba Snake Spear, Zhang Fei roared angrily and led his troops away.

It's just that although he led troops out of the city, Zhang Fei still sent heavy troops to control the East Tower, which was the most secure.

Seeing Zhang Fei retreating, Yan Yan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "General Xiahou really had a fortune, a decree without any words scared Zhang Fei away. It seems that Liu Bei attaches great importance to his status as a Hanchen, not bad!"

Narrowing his eyes, Yan Yan yelled at the soldiers around him: "Go to the prefect's mansion as the center to search the houses, and you must find out Yuan Shu's whereabouts. If you encounter enemy soldiers who resist, kill them! After you find the jade seal, let you loot it. go!"

With the order, all the soldiers under Yan Yan's command became excited and immediately went to search the houses.

Be sure to find Yuan Shu in the shortest possible time. Yan Yan knows that this false edict of hers can be hidden from Zhang Fei, but it cannot be hidden from Liu Beijun's discerning people.

Sooner or later, they will bring troops into the city, and if they can't find Yuxi at that time, they will be in big trouble!
