Three Kingdoms King of the North

Yang Biao asked Zhu Jun: "Gongwei, now that Li Jue and Guo Si have turned against each other, what should we do?"

"You can send envoys to Yecheng," Zhu Jun replied, "Please ask Jizhou Mu to send troops to quell the rebellion between Li and Guo."

However, Yang Biao said in embarrassment: "It's thousands of miles away from Yecheng. Even if Jizhou Mu sent troops immediately after getting the news, it would take at least one month to get here. Look," he said with his hand Pointing to the battlefield outside, he said, "Don't look at us temporarily closing the city gate, but there are many old troops of Li Guo in the city's defenders. As long as they give an order, the city gate will be opened immediately. The army from Jizhou Mu has arrived."

Hearing what Yang Biao said, Zhu Jun couldn't get his attention, he stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

"Since this plan was offered by the Jizhou Shepherds, he must have a solution." Yang Biao thought for a while, and then said to Zhu Jun: "Why don't we go to the post house now and ask Yuan Zhi to see if he can do it?" Is there any way to resolve the immediate crisis."

Yang Biao's proposal was immediately approved by Zhu Jun. After the two came down from the city wall, they hurried to the post house in the city to visit Xu Shu and others.

The news that Li and Guo turned against each other and were fighting outside the city, Xu Shu had already learned about it through careful work.After Shi Tao heard the news, he said worriedly: "Yuanzhi, tens of thousands of troops are fighting outside the city. Once they enter the city, they will turn into a chaotic army, and the people in the city will suffer. .”

"Guangyuan, before the city is blocked, leave Chang'an immediately and return to Yecheng." Xu Shu said to Shi Tao: "We must report the situation here to the lord as soon as possible so that he can make plans early."

"Plan, what plan?" Hearing what Xu Shu said, Shi Tao asked with a blank face, "Could it be that Yuan Zhi is still planning to let the lord come to take Chang'an?"

"Under the current circumstances, why not let the lord come to take Chang'an?" Xu Shu continued: "Guangyuan, after you return to Yecheng, after seeing the lord, ask him to send troops to Chang'an quickly. Xu can protect you." Within a month, Chang'an will no longer be occupied by Li and Guo, but over time, there will be no guarantee."

Regarding Xu Shu's statement, Shi Tao was silent. He silently calculated the distance in his heart, and then realized that it seemed a little impossible for the Jizhou Army to arrive in Chang'an within a month.But since Xu Shu entrusted himself with this important task, no matter how difficult it was, he had to complete it.So he got up and cupped his hands towards Xu Shu, turned around and went back to his room to pack up and prepare to leave immediately.

Not long after Shi Tao left, Yang Biao and Zhu Jun arrived hand in hand.When Xu Shu saw the two people visiting, he hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Xu Shu has seen the two adults. I don't know if the two adults are here, what can I teach you?"

Yang Biao stepped forward to hold Xu Shu's hand, and said anxiously: "Yuan Zhi, you and I are not outsiders, so you don't need to talk useless gossip. Let me ask you, now Li Jue and Guo Si's troops are here. Fighting outside the city, what can you do to prevent the two armies from entering the city?"

"Yes," Xu Shu had been waiting for Yang Biao to ask this question, and when he heard him say it first, he smiled and said, "You can ask my lord to send troops here to quell the chaos between Li and Guo."

"To quell the chaos between Li and Guo, Jizhou soldiers and horses are indeed the best choice." After knowing that Han Zhan's soldiers and horses defeated Yuan Shao and occupied Yecheng, he was convinced that the Jizhou army could eliminate Li and Guo. No doubt.But no matter how strong the Jizhou army is, they are still too far apart now, so he said to Xu Shu with a bitter face: "But they are too far apart, and they will not be able to reach here within two months. People are ruined."

"Don't worry, Da Si Nong." Xu Shu waited for Zhu Jun to finish speaking, and immediately comforted him, saying, "Actually, there is still a troop near Chang'an. It’s more than enough.”

When the two of them heard what Xu Shu said, their eyes lit up immediately, and they hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the soldiers and horses Yuan Zhi was talking about?"

Xu Shu pointed to the east and said, "Did you two adults forget that there is still a military force of more than 2 people stationed two hundred miles to the east of Chang'an?"

After Yang Biao and Zhu Jun looked at each other, they both saw shock in each other's eyes.In the end, Zhu Jun asked tentatively: "Yuan Zhi is talking about Yang Feng's soldiers and horses?"

Xu Shu nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, it's this person!"

"This person was originally a Yellow Turban thief, but later he surrendered to Li Jue." As for the candidate recommended by Xu Shu, Yang Biao said with some embarrassment, "He is Li Jue's subordinate. Didn't letting him come to Chang'an invite wolves into the house?"

Chapter 271 Mediation

In the next few days, the troops of Li Jue and Guo Si fought outside the city every day.Not to mention the casualties on both sides, they also looted the villages everywhere, killed the old and weak in the village, and incorporated the young and middle-aged into the team, while the young women were snatched into the camp and distributed to the confidants of Li and Guo.

Seeing the melee between Li and Guo, which led to the destruction of the homes of the people outside the city, Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others couldn't bear it, so they sent Huangfu Song's nephew, Huangfu Li, to their barracks to talk about Xiang, hoping that the two could stay together for a while. Let's go to war.

Huangfu Li went to Guo Bang's camp first, and when he saw Guo Bang, he first asked, "General and Sima were like brothers in the past, why do you want to meet each other today?"

After Guo Si heard this, he replied angrily: "This general treats Li Jue well, but he has repeatedly murdered this general. If this general was not vigilant, I am afraid that he would have died. If you want to stop the war, you have to do everything. Can't."

Huangfu Li saw that he could not persuade Guo Bang, so he turned around and went to Li Jue's camp.As soon as he saw Li Jue, before he had time to speak, Li Jue said first: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for Guo Aduo? I know you, but I don't know the sword in my hand."

Huangfu Li, who failed in persuasion, returned to the city of Chang'an in disgrace, and reported to Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, saying: "My lords, my subordinates have insulted their mission and did not persuade them to stop the war."

Yang Biao sighed and said, "If Li and Guo don't stop fighting for a day, the people outside Chang'an will have no peace." He turned his head to look at Zhu Jun, and said helplessly, "Unexpectedly, there are some things that are more difficult than you and I imagined." Worse."

Just as the three of them were chatting, a small school suddenly came to report: "Qi Taiwei and Da Sinong, there is smoke and dust billowing in the east of the city, and there seems to be a large army coming."

Hearing the small school said that there was an army coming, Huangfu Li showed panic, but Yang Biao and Zhu Jun showed joy.Zhu Jun lowered his head and asked the small principal, "Let me ask you, what banner did the soldiers and horses come under?"

The little principal thought for a while, then shook his head and replied: "The little one only saw the smoke and dust in the distance, but never saw the soldiers and horses, so he couldn't guess where the soldiers and horses came from?"

"My lords," Huangfu Li Chao Yang Biao and Zhu Jun cupped his hands and said, "Now the two thieves Li and Guo are fighting inextricably in the west of the city, and now another army is coming from the east of the city. What should we do? ah?"

"Don't worry," Yang Biao knew that the soldiers coming from the east at this moment must be Yang Feng's soldiers, so he was not worried at all. On the contrary, he still smiled and said to Huangfu Li: "If you want to know who came Which way it is, you just need to follow me to the top of the city tower to see."

The three of them came to the tower of the east gate, and the soldiers and horses were already approaching the city.Zhu Jun saw a big "Yang" written on the banner in the distance, and he confirmed that it was Yang Feng's soldiers and horses who came.

The army stopped a stone's throw away from the city, and then a general with a Xuanhua ax rushed out of the formation and rushed to the moat.He looked up at the city wall and shouted to the tower: "I am Xu Huang, a subordinate of General Yang Feng of Zhonglang. Please brothers in the city open the city gate and let our soldiers and horses enter the city."

When Huangfu Li heard that it was Yang Feng's soldiers who came, he felt a little more at ease.Judging from the actions of these soldiers and horses who were still a stone's throw away from the city, they stopped voluntarily, and they did not intend to attack the city.Therefore, he turned his head and asked Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, "My lords, what should we do, open the city gate and let them in?"

"Wait!" Zhu Jun, who has always been cautious, raised his hand to stop Yang Biao who was about to order someone to open the city gate, and said to the two: "I have never seen this general who called the gate. Let Yang Feng come over, and we will come again." It's not too late to open the door."

Hearing what Zhu Jun said, Yang Biao felt that there was some truth to it.So he shouted to Xu Huang below: "General under the city, let General Yang Feng come over, the old man has something to say to him."

When Xu Huang heard Yang Biao say this, he couldn't help showing a embarrassed expression on his face.Yang was ordered to come and call to open the gate of the city, but after calling for a long time, not only did the gate of the city not be opened, but he was asked to call the general over.But there was no way, if he didn't call the general over, maybe the city wouldn't open the gates for him at all.

Xu Huang returned to the formation, told Yang Fengyi about the matter, and finally said: "Whether or not the general will personally go to the danger is entirely up to the general's personal decision."

Yang Feng felt that since he had already led his troops here, if he refused to go down to the city to talk to the people on the city, and the other party refused to accept him behind closed doors, it would definitely have a negative impact on the morale of the army.Thinking of this, he led fifty cavalrymen to the city.

Yang Feng rode his horse to the front of the moat, and shouted towards the tower: "I am Yang Feng, the general of Zhonglang, who is the master in the city?"

When Yang Biao saw that the person calling the city was indeed Yang Fengzhi, his heart felt much more at ease.He leaned out from the crenel and said to Yang Feng who was at the bottom of the city: "General Yang, this old man is Taiwei Yang Biao. Please wait for a moment, and the old man will order someone to open the city gate and invite the general's soldiers and horses to enter the city."

After the city gate was opened, Yang Fengxian entered the city with fifty cavalry.Seeing Yang Feng and Zhu Jun standing outside the gate of the city, he hurriedly got off his horse, cupped his fists and bowed to them: "General Yang Feng of the Zhonglang, he has seen Taiwei and Da Sinong."

Yang Biao and Zhu Jun hurriedly stepped forward to support Yang Feng, and said with a smile: "The general came in time. Once your soldiers and horses arrive, Li and Guo outside the city will be nothing to worry about."

Although Li and Guo have been fighting for several days, but because Yang Feng did not send secret agents to the capital, it is not clear what happened at all.He only rushed here with his troops after receiving the edict drafted by Yang Biao and Zhu Jun.After listening to Yang Biao's words at this moment, he couldn't help being confused. He asked in amazement: "Dare to ask the two lords, what happened to the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si?"

In the next few days, the troops of Li Jue and Guo Si fought outside the city every day.Not to mention the casualties on both sides, they also looted the villages everywhere, killed the old and weak in the village, and incorporated the young and middle-aged into the team, while the young women were snatched into the camp and distributed to the confidants of Li and Guo.
