Seeing that Mrs. Liu dared to be presumptuous in front of him, Cheng Yaojin didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he continued to laugh and said:

"Who is Yuan Shao? Who are the Fourth and Third Dukes? If Yuan Shao dares to appear in front of my king, I'm afraid he will be chopped into meat paste by my king's order."

"As for you, a stinky bitch like you, and you still want my king to give you face, who do you think you are? Do you have such face?"

"Someone is here. Keep this stinky bitch and all these people under my watch, General."

"Remember, this is my old Cheng's trophy. No one is allowed to let them escape, let alone let them suffer the slightest harm.

Cheng Yaojin gave the order and then left happily.

After receiving the order, many soldiers spread out and surrounded the door, completely sealing off the entire house.

boom!

With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut, and all the soldiers retreated under the door.

In the whole room, only Mrs. Liu, mother and son, and Yuan Shao's many concubines were left, hiding in the room and shivering.

While Cheng Yaojin captured Yuan Shao's mansion, two troops led by Wei Yan15 and Meng Zhong also rushed into Nanpi City.

The defenders of Nanpi City were leaderless and had long been frightened.

Die to die, surrender to surrender, run away to escape.

The army led by Wei Yan took only a few hours to completely control the entire Nanpi City.

The families of Xu You, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Chen Lin and other people under Yuan Shao's command were also controlled by Wei Yan, who led the army.

After doing all this, Wei Yan immediately gave the order. Open the four gates of Nanpi, drive all the people in Nanpi City out of the city, and let them flee for their lives to the counties and counties in Jizhou.

Is Wei Yanwei trying to take advantage of the people's rush to leave and spread the word of mouth to warn the entire Jizhou residents and Yuan Shao and others?

Yuan Shao's hometown Nanpi has been taken over by him. Yuan Shao's family and the families of his soldiers have all fallen into his hands.

Wei Yan knew very well that with his current strength, it would be difficult to withstand the counterattack of Yuan Shao's army, and he had no intention of defending the city.

After capturing these people, Wei Yandang took Mrs. Liu, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and other members of Yuan Shao's family, as well as many of Yuan Shao's family members, and escorted them all back to Jinyang to report the victory to Ying Xi.

Bingzhou Jinyang, Jinwangfu.

"Your Majesty, there are battle reports coming from the front. All three armies of Yuan and Shao were defeated by our Jin army. Yuan Shao has led his army and retreated to Gaoyi. He is preparing to rely on the solid city wall to fight a war of attrition with our army without fighting."

"Wei Chen estimates that Yuan Shao's move may have a deeper meaning, and he should be planning to unite with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others around him.

After Yao Guangxiao reported Yuan Shao's latest trends, he continued to report:

"In addition, according to what was reported from the net, there is information about the movements of various princes."

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were fighting in Qinzhou, have reached an armistice agreement. Liu Bei captured the three counties of Qi, Donglai and Beihai, while Cao Cao took the opportunity to capture the three counties of Jinan, Le'an and Pingyuan. The two of them captured the entire Qingzhou Total carve-up.”

"News also came from Youzhou that the Baima Yicong led by Gongsun Zan personally launched a decisive battle with Liu Yu's old troops. The coalition composed of Liu Yu's old troops Qi Zhou, Yan Rou and Xian Yufu was not Gongsun Zan's opponent, and those who were killed by him were A major defeat, Qi Zhou was beheaded by Gongsun Zan, and Yan Rou and Xian Yufu were defeated and fled."

"In addition, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu suddenly increased his troops on the Hedong front line and deployed nearly 80,000 troops in Hedong.

"According to Wei Chen's estimate, Yuan Shao must have secretly united with Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei to contain our army and prevent it from successfully capturing Jizhou."

Ying Xi had long expected that if he attacked Jizhou, Cao Cao and Liu Bei would definitely not stand idly by.

They will not confront them head-on for Yuan Shao.

However, if he attacks Jizhou with all his strength, they will definitely attack him from the flanks to seize the opportunity to capture the city and capture the people under his command.

By then, even if the Jin army can eliminate Yuan Shao and seize the entire Jizhou, they will still pay the price for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others' defeat.

In this way, the gains and losses are offset, and the gains and losses are wasted, the people and money are wasted, the troops are lost, and the generals are lost, but not much actual benefit is obtained.

On the contrary, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others took advantage of their main force to fight Yuan Shao and bit off a lot of fat from their bodies.

Ying Xi is not willing to do such a thing by giving them an advantage but not getting any benefit himself.

But if he retreats and leaves Yuan Shao behind, once he is allowed to integrate all the forces in Jizhou, and with the title of Fourth World and Three Dukes in hand, Yuan Shao will soon regain his strength and even become stronger, which will only leave more for himself. consequences.

At this moment, Ying Xi was completely in a dilemma.

It seems that no matter whether you advance or retreat, there is not much benefit for yourself.

"Prime Minister, use your clever head and help me think of a way to eliminate Yuan Shao and seize Jizhou at the minimum cost."

Ying Xi, who had no choice but to focus on Yao Guangxiao.

This black monk must have a lot of conspiracies and tricks, and he will definitely not disappoint him.

"The poor monk should think carefully about 337."

Yao Guangxiao touched his round head and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a lewd smile: "For the current plan, we can only fight quickly and defeat Yuan Shao as quickly as possible. Only in this way can we frighten Cao Cao and Liu Bei and make these princes dare not You can easily become an enemy of our army."

Defeat Yuan Shao quickly and decisively?

Yingxi was wondering what Monk Hei could do, and when he was about to ask, Dian Wei hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty, the three generals Wei Yan, Cheng Yaojin and Meng Zhong led five thousand light cavalry to break through Nanpi City and captured Yuan Shao and many of his family members."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao smiled knowingly: "The poor monk originally wanted to propose this plan. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Nanpi and the main force of Yuan Shao being besieged by our army, he attacked Yuan Shao's hometown in Nanpi and captured all his family members.

"In this way, Yuan Shao will be completely frightened and his army will be demoralized, and he will be defeated in one battle."

"I just didn't expect that Wei Yan and other generals would actually walk in front of the poor monk and complete such a feat."

Yao Guangxiao also had to sigh with emotion. There are really many talented people in the Jin army.

Before the strategy he had just thought of could be implemented, Wei Yan and others had already returned with a full load.
