The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 294

The military officer was sent by Guo Si, and the military report sent was that the soldiers and horses of Xun Zhen’s department appeared in Wuguan. Looking at the banner they were flying, the commander was Liu Bei. In short, the road from Nanyang to Chang’an was blocked in advance by Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen attacked the troops and horses of Nanyang County, and it was still two days away from the northern border of Nanyang. However, the troops had already arrived at Wuguan and seized Wuguan first. This news was completely unexpected by Yuan Shu.

After questioning and confirming that the news was true, Yuan Shu lost the lazy look he used to show before, and also lost the thunderous anger that he had when he ordered Shu Shao to be killed in the hall yesterday. He looked at the front, as if he was reading the news, but he didn’t seem to be looking at him. He sat on the seat with his mouth open slightly, dumbfounded, and didn’t speak for a long time.

Judging from his expression, he must be completely blank at this time.

The **** Zhao on the side also knew what kind of serious consequences it would bring if Wuguan was seized by Liu Bei’s troops. He tried his best to stabilize his mind and motioned for the officer who reported the news to go out first. When the officer went out, he approached Yuan Shu and whispered carefully, “My lord,… lord?”

Yuan Shu turned his face stiffly, facing Eunuch Zhao.

Yesterday, Shu Shao was killed, and his head was placed on the plate. The **** appearance was still fresh in Zhao Eunuch’s memory. The scene and the **** smell at that time even reminded him of the old days when Yuan Shu and others led the soldiers into the entrance. In the palace, the tragic scene of the massacre of the eunuch, now seeing Yuan Shu’s absent-minded behavior, he felt uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say.

He said: “My lord, Wuguan is the only place to go from Nanyang to Chang’an, and now it has been stopped by Liu Bei and his subordinates in advance. The little slave thinks that the matter is urgent, and the Duke of Ming should make a decision immediately. Take a contingency plan.”

Yuan Shu’s eyes gradually became brighter, he regained his senses, and said, “Yes, yes! Now you need to make emergency measures immediately. Go and find Chang Shi and Ziwu for me immediately!” The **** stood there hesitantly and did not move, Yuan Shu angrily said, “Why are you still in a daze? Don’t hurry up and follow my order to summon Ziye and Changshi!”

Eunuch Zhao cautiously reminded Yuan Shu, saying: “Lord, Chang Shi is no longer in Wanxian County. He was ordered by the Lord yesterday, and he has led two thousand troops and went to aid Luyang.”

“Oh! Yes, yes, Changshi is not in Wanxian now…you go and get me Ziwu first!”

Eunuch Zhao agreed to his promise, and without further delay, he went outside the hall first, then picked up the corner of his robe, and trotted to find Li Ye to meet Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu sat in the hall, dumbfounded.

The servants who served him, just like Eunuch Zhao just now, were afraid of angering him. This unbearable silence, I don’t know how long passed, finally footsteps sounded outside the hall, it was **** Zhao who came to Li Ye. ——The **** Zhao was quite quick in his work, it only took less than half an hour.

Li Ye hurriedly entered the hall, bowed down and said, “The servants pay tribute to Duke Ming.”

Yuan Shu came to his senses again, how could he still have time to wait for Li Ye to finish his salute? He said anxiously: “Subwu, get up and sit down, I just got an urgent military report sent to me by Guo Si, Liu Bei led his troops to Wuguan!”

“Ming Gong, this military report is known to the subordinate officials. On the way to visit Ming Gong just now, Zhao Huan told the subordinate officials.”

“You already know? Then I won’t go into details. … Ziwu, I thought of a countermeasure when I was waiting for you to come. I don’t know if it is feasible or not. I want to hear your opinion.”

Li Ye asked, “Dare to ask Duke Ming, what are the countermeasures?”

“I’ve thought about it, and now there are only two strategies. One of them is to immediately pass on an order, ordering Guo Si to attack Wuguan, in order to conquer Wuguan before the Xun thieves conquer Luyang and get through for me. The way to Chang’an! This second…”

Li Ye asked, “Ming Gong, what is the second?”

“The other two…, I’m afraid I can only follow the long-term strategy. I will wait to defend Wan County and immediately send people to Ye County…” Yuan Shu weakly lifted his left hand and said unwillingly, “Go. Ask Yuan Shao to help me!” After all, at a critical juncture, life is at stake, and Yuan Shu’s unwillingness not to stay in Yuan Shu’s heart for too long, he immediately looked at Li Ye and asked, “Ziwu, what do you think of these two strategies, which strategy is the best? ”

In addition to these two strategies, there is actually another strategy, which is to go to Yangzhou in the east, but this strategy is obviously not as good as entering Chang’an in the west, and it is even less desirable.

Of course, Li Ye hoped that Yuan Shu could take the first countermeasure he said, which is to immediately order Guo Si to fight Wuguan, but Li Ye is not stupid, but he also knows that the road from Nanyang to Chang’an will be taken by conquering Wuguan. The idea of ​​reopening is bound to be difficult to realize under the current background conditions. Xun Zhen’s troops and horses will reach the northern boundary of Nanyang County in a day or two, and Liu Biao’s troops and horses will soon reach the southern boundary of Nanyang County. How could it be possible to follow Yuan Shu’s orders desperately and go to Wuguan? It is simply an impossible task to conquer Wuguan under the current situation. This strategy is not advisable, so we can only stick to Nanyang and ask Yuan Shao to come and help this strategy.

Li Yewei really did not want to use this strategy.

This strategy was proposed by Yang Hong. If after using this strategy, they could defend Nanyang and eventually make Xun Zhen and Liu Biao retreat without merit, then of course it is very good, but the question is, who will get the credit? Obviously it will be Yang Hong’s, and it has nothing to do with him, Li Ye. Yesterday, more than half of the officials in the hall supported Yang Hong, and Li Ye can still remember it. Will Yang Hong turn around and attack him with this skill and the support of many civil and military officials? Then Li Ye’s days in Nanyang will become more and more difficult.

And take a step back and say, if you can’t defend Nanyang in the end, what should you do? It could only be worse.

But no matter how unwilling, the situation is stronger than people. In the current situation, Li Yesi thought about it, but only this strategy was available.

Li Ye turned around a thousand times, and had no choice but to answer Yuan Shu, saying, “Duke Ming, the officials thought that the strategy of attacking Wuguan would be unusable. If we attack Wuguan in a hurry, it will definitely be difficult to overcome. If the Wu Pass is not yet under, and the Xun and Liu thieves have already arrived, our army will fall into a state of ruin. This is the foolish opinion of the following officials. Go to Ye County and ask General Right to help you.”

Yuan Shu raised his hand, tapped it twice, and said, “Okay, okay, Ziwu, I think so too! Attacking Wuguan is not a reliable strategy, so it’s better to defend Nanyang.” Pointing to **** Zhao, Ling said, “You go to pass my order now, and Zhao Changshi will return to Wanxian immediately.”

Eunuch Zhao responded to the order and was about to leave. Li Ye asked, “Dare to ask Duke Ming, why did you call Chang Shi back?”

Yuan Shu said: “Ziwu, the strategy of guarding Nanyang was offered by Changshi. Although you and I didn’t want to adopt this strategy yesterday, but now you have no choice but to use Changshi’s strategy, then I should recall Changshi. , and then discuss it with him in detail.”

Li Ye said: “Duke Ming, in the humble opinion of the following officials, the more this is happening, the more inappropriate it is to recall Chang Shi.”

Yuan Shu was surprised and asked, “Ziwu, what do you say? Why do you say that, and what do you mean?”

At this time, in any case, Yang Hong cannot be allowed to return to Wan County. If Yang Hong does not return to Wan County, then Li Ye’s wealth under Yuan Shu’s account will still have a chance to be preserved. If Yang Hong returns, what awaits him and Li Ye will only be a tragic end, because Li Ye has made up his mind and must be eliminated. Yuan Shu thought and said: “Ming Gong, just yesterday it was decided to enter Chang’an from the west, but today, because Wuguan has been guarded by Liu Bei, he had to change it into an order and change it to stick to Nanyang, although this is like the Ming Gong. He said that he was forced to do it, but yesterday’s order is changed today, and the subordinates are also afraid of stealing it, and the military’s heart may be uneasy because of this. Luyang is an important town in the north of our Nanyang, and it is the head of the Xun thief who attacked our Nanyang. The importance of a place to fight is self-evident, but in order to stabilize Luyang’s military heart and prevent Luyang from falling quickly, at this moment, the subordinates thought that Changshi had to sit in Luyang himself and command the defense. No!”

“What you said…” Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, “It makes sense.”

Eunuch Zhao dared to ask, “Eunuch Ming, do you still want the little slave to pass this order to Duke Ming?”

Yuan Shu pondered for a while, and said, “You don’t need to pass me this order first.”

Zhao **** promised.

Yuan Shu asked Li Ye and said, “Ziwu, then don’t call Changshi back to Wan County. But given the current situation, what do you think I should do to defend Nanyang?”

What should be done to defend Nanyang, or in other words, it is possible to defend Nanyang. In the strategy Yang Hong presented to Yuan Shu, it has been clearly stated, the priority, the priority, the horns, and the help of Yuan Shao. In this regard, Li Yewu had no idea. He could even add, and said, “In my humble opinion, you can first prepare for the defense according to the strategy proposed by the long history, and then deal with it randomly when the enemy’s situation changes. That’s enough.”

“But it’s a sub-wu, who sent an envoy to Ye County for this…”

Li Ye said: “Duke Ming is worried that Wuguan is now under the control of Liu Bei, and the road to Yexian is afraid that it will be blocked?”

“Exactly, Ziwu, if Wuguan has not been guarded by Liu Bei before, then the envoy to Ye County can still pass through Wuguan and detour into Jizhou. Now Wuguan has been guarded by Liu Bei, then this is the way to go. How can the envoy of Ye County go to Ye County?”

Xun Zhen is now orthodox troops and horses attacking Nanyang County from the direction of Yingchuan County, that is to say, the northern boundary of Nanyang County must have been controlled by Xunzhen’s troops now, and the road to Ji through Yingchuan County should be already. It is impossible to get through; and Wuguan is now blocked by Liu Bei. It is through Wuguan, and the road from Henan Yin to Jizhou should also be blocked. As Yuan Shu said, even if he wanted to send an envoy to Yuan Shao to ask for help, there seemed to be no way to choose, no way to go.

Li Ye stayed in the seat, thinking for a long time, but there was no countermeasure.

Yuan Shu and Li Ye stared at each other with big eyes~www.mtlnovel.com~ Just as he both stopped, Eunuch Zhao raised his eyes, looked at Li Ye quietly, then looked at Yuan Shu again, and again. Emboldened, he said, “Ming Gong, this little slave has a solution.”

Yuan Shu and Li Ye turned their attention to him.

Yuan Shu asked, “What method do you have?”

Eunuch Zhao said: “My lord, when the little slave fled back to Nanyang County from Luoyang, he walked through a small road that borders Yingchuan and Nanyang. Through this small road, you can leave Nanyang and head north to Jizhou.”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and asked, “Where is this trail? How to get there?”

Eunuch Zhao said in embarrassment: “My lord, this trail is in the mountains, and it is extremely hidden. You can only speak with your mouth, and you can’t explain it clearly.”

Yuan Shu thought about it for a while, came up with an idea, and said, “Then, you and the messenger I sent to see Yuan Shao’s child will go to Ye County together and show him the way! reward.”

Eunuch Zhao showed a look of fright on his face and said, “Ming Gong, this…, this little slave is weak and can’t walk long distances.”

Yuan Shu said angrily, “Aren’t you obeying my orders?”

Eunuch Zhao fell to the ground and said in fear, “How dare the little slave not obey the order of the Lord?”

Yuan Shu said: “Since you don’t dare not obey, then this matter is settled. I will send an envoy to Ye County today, and you will follow along and guide him.”

Eunuch Zhao seemed to be extremely helpless, and bowed to the ground.
