Chapter 232 The general trend
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

On the official road, an army of hundreds of thousands of Taiping bandits is advancing rapidly. In front is Yecheng, the last fortress of Jizhou. As long as the fortress is broken, the victory will be decided.

On the frame, Xiao Lan flipped through the battle report that had just been delivered to him, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Okay, very good, what a good Xu Sheng, what a good Deng Ai, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang and Ju Yi in a vain attempt to Concentrate superior forces and defeat our army one by one, it is a pity that this good strategy has already been punctured!"

"Oh?" Xi Zhicai, who accompanied him beside him, couldn't help asking with a smile: "Ju Yi and Yan Liang are Yuan Shao's most capable generals. My lord, I don't know how the battle is going on the front line?"

"Two days ago, Ju Yi used the strategy of attacking the east and the west. He clearly asked Yan Liang to challenge the evil, but sent people to attack our army's vanguard camp from the rear. Xu Sheng and Deng Ai never thought about it. Lay an ambush and defeat him!" Xiao Lan said with a smile: "Yesterday, the two armies had another battle before the battle, Yan Liang was seriously injured and captured, Ju Yi was defeated, and Xu Sheng was already trapped in a valley .”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "Ye City has only a total of more than one hundred thousand defenders, and now three out of ten have been taken, which is the best news for our Taiping Army. Zhong is here to congratulate the lord first, it seems that taking Yecheng this time will be much easier than we expected in advance."

Jiang Gan asked: "Master, although Ju Yi is only a remnant army, he should not be underestimated. Do you want to send someone to recruit General Xu Sheng?"

"No need." Xiao Lan said indifferently: "With the capabilities of Xu Sheng and Deng Ai and the combat power of evil, although Ju Yi is extraordinary, since he is trapped, there will be no big waves. At present, our first priority The only thing to do is to take down Yecheng!"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance recognized by the princes of the world in the past, and he was the fourth generation and third prince of the Han Dynasty. After defeating him, the Han Dynasty will only be left with the last little emperor. I don't know. How is he doing under Cao Cao's subordinates in Taiyuan, Bingzhou?"

"Emperor Yuan Shaoxian is only a dead bone in the grave. The one who is qualified to be the commander-in-chief's final opponent is Cao Cao." As Xiao Lan spoke, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth. Today, the matter of Jizhou is a foregone conclusion. The lord Yuan Shao, at this moment, is still nesting in Yecheng, and has no idea at all. If such a person, if not the advantage of the innate family, what qualifications does he have to be his opponent? !
In Yecheng, in the meeting hall, Xu You, Feng Ji and others frowned, and Shen Pei couldn't help but asked: "Taiping armies are arriving one after another. What is Yan Liang doing?"

When they asked Yan Liang and Ju Yi to lead the expedition, they wanted to concentrate their superior forces and defeat all the incoming Taiping troops one by one. However, now the Taiping Army is really coming in one by one and will soon gather together. One place, but no battle report from Yan Liang's army was sent back, so how could they not feel anxious about it.It would be fine to say that Yan Liang is brave and foolhardy, but there is such a number one general as Ju Yi in the army, how could he be defeated so easily?

If they knew that, outside of Yecheng, Yan Liang fought Dian Wei so hard that Ju Yi could only rely on his limited strength to attack east and west, but suffered a big defeat, would he vomit three liters of blood?Unfortunately, now that Yan Liang was defeated and captured, and Ju Yi was trapped, no one sent the battle report back to Yecheng.

"The matter is of great importance. We should go to ask the lord for instructions immediately, and tell the truth!" Although they don't know what happened to Yan Liang's army, Feng Ji and the others have a bad premonition in their hearts.

After all, it was about one's own survival, so there was no need to ask three times and four times. However, although Yuan Shao came out, he had a sad face, how could he have the slightest attitude of being a hero and overlord?
"My lord, something is wrong!" As soon as Tian Feng spoke, his words were full of worry.

"Oh?" For the civil servants and advisers under his command who couldn't help him solve the problem, he spoke such alarmist words, which caused a haze to flash between his eyebrows, Yuan Shaoyu, and felt a little unhappy, but he also knew that, Now that the army of peace thieves is suppressing the situation, Jizhou is at the time of employing people, so after all, he suppressed this emotion very well, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Keenly aware of a trace of dissatisfaction in Yuan Shao's words, Tian Feng raised his head, looked at Yuan Shao with some doubts, and then dispelled the doubts in his heart. At this time, it was not when he was thinking about these messes. It has been three days since Wan Dajun went out of the city to defeat the enemy, but he has not sent back any news, so I am afraid that it is still more or less ominous."

"What?!" Yuan Shao couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words. Yan Liang is one of the top two generals around him, plus a [-] army, once lost, it is almost fatal to Yecheng blow.

Ju Shou said in a deep voice: "Now that the Taiping bandits are overwhelming the situation, the top priority is, we should first think about the way out."

"Retreat?" Yuan Shao looked at Jushou coldly and said coldly: "What a joke, this is Yecheng, the last fortress of Jizhou. If you ask me to retreat, where else can I retreat to? Furthermore, if I lose it, Jizhou, don't we let the people of the world laugh at me, and where will I put the name of the four generations and three princes of my Yuan family?"

Hearing this, Ju Shou couldn't help but feel very anxious about it. When is this time? What's the use of retaining a great reputation?But after all, he didn't say this, he was not Tian Feng after all, knowing that Yuan Shao was at odds with him, he just insisted on persuading him.

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside. Yuan Shao heard it and couldn't help but get angry: "Unbridled, unbridled! Who dares to make a noise here?"

"Report—" Accompanied by an urgent report, I saw a guard rushing in with a panicked face, half kneeling on the ground, and said anxiously: "My lord, something is wrong. The Taiping thieves have been cut off, and there is not much food and grass left in the city!"

"What?!" This time, Yuan Shao really couldn't sit still. Jizhou's army had been defeated repeatedly, and their morale was almost gone. If there was no more food and grass, it would be even worse. For Yuan Shao, it was definitely a fatal blow.

It's over!Not only Yuan Shao, but all the civil servants and counselors present couldn't help being dizzy for a while. It has to be said that the Taiping Army's move was so ruthless and ruthless that it almost hit their fatal point with one blow. They are sure that this news should have already spread to the ears of the defenders of Ye City at this moment, even if they knew the news, it would be meaningless.

"It's over, it's over!" Sitting down on the ground, Yuan Shao's eyes were lost, and even his own guards came to report that the defenders in the city were in turmoil, and a large number of defeated troops fled. Although General Wen Chou and others tried their best to restrain them, the entire army They have all mutinied, even with peerless bravery, it is difficult to turn the tide.

When Xiao Lan led an army of more than 20 to approach Yecheng, the gates of Yecheng, which should have been impregnable, had already been opened, and it was clearly visible that a large number of defeated troops swarmed out of the city.

"Notify the whole army, don't be in a hurry to attack the city, and order all the troops to control the defeated army in Yecheng according to their respective positions." Xiao Lan said in a deep voice, and there was an indescribable majesty in his words. With Yuan Shao's demise, he may become a refugee, but it is more likely that he will occupy the mountain as the king and cause disaster for the village. Now that Jizhou is about to become his own territory, he naturally does not want the people under his command to suffer such a situation. disaster!
The army of more than 5000 people completely mutinied and collapsed in a short period of time. Yuan Shao stared blankly at the chaos in front of him and the uncontrolled army. Now, there are only [-] people left around him, but , even though most of these people are his confidants, the number of personnel is also decreasing sharply.

Yuan Shao never thought that after he was the fourth generation and the third prince, he would end his life in such a miserable way when he was about to reach the peak of his life.

"My lord, the general situation is over, let's take advantage of the chaos to break through!" Tian Feng, Feng Ji and others hurried to Yuan Shao, looked at Yuan Shao, who had dull eyes, and hurriedly persuaded him, Jizhou can no longer stay in the current situation Otherwise, how could they survive under the vanguard of the Taiping Army?
