Chapter 114 The trick of swallowing tigers

"If you don't surrender, what do you think you will do?"

Yang Chou looked at the representatives of the major families in the hall and left the conversation first: Dong Zhuo raised a group of mad dogs and jackals, and hundreds of thousands of Kanto coalition forces failed to defeat him. Don’t expect me to die.

Although Dong Zhuo suffered heavy losses in the battle of Hulao Pass, he became famous in the world because of this.

"General Yang, don't be impatient. We didn't let you fight with Dong Zhuo!"

An older family head spoke slowly, and at the same time he also signaled that Yang Chou would not be alarmed, and that there would always be a solution to everything.

But Yang Chou couldn't listen at all at this moment and said bluntly: "Dong Zhuo is already on the road, and he will come to Shangdang sooner or later. If you have a reliable idea, just say, if not, I'm sorry, my Yang family will retreat first!"

As for the assets that the Yang family collected and hoarded in Shangdang, they could bring with them what they could not take away, such as land and real estate. It would be best to sell them. If they could not sell them, they would just burn them. Even if they did not return to Shangdang in the future, they would not be able to get Dong Zhuo in vain.

"General Yang, you don't have to say these disheartening words. We understand the situation. Dong Zhuo is coming in a fierce manner this time and is obviously prepared. Even if we count all the soldiers in our manor and mansion, we still can't stop Dong Zhuo's army..."

The old man said slowly, living to his age, and before he got off the head of the family, his mind was far beyond ordinary people. He could only hear his voice change: "But, we can't do it, but it doesn't mean others can do it either."

"Ren Taiweng, what you mean is..."

Some people tentatively speculate.

"Yes, what I'm thinking about is Yuan Shao, Jizhou."

Ren Taiweng nodded, stroked his jaw and shone brightly in his turbid eyes, and slowly said to everyone: "Dong Zhuo had just set out from Jiangyi, and there was still some time before he arrived at Shangdang. During this period, we can actively prepare for war and build fortifications. At the same time, we also asked General Yang to write a letter and send it to Jizhou quickly to ask Yuan Shao to help him, saying that he would send him a general to help him because of his strong relationship. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to hand over Shangdang County to Yuan Shao."

Yuan Shao came from a famous family and was also a party close to the gentry. Shangdang County was better than Dong Zhuo's suppression and raging force in his hands.

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly won the support of most people.

After all, they have been entrenched in Shangdang County for dozens or hundreds of years, and have been passed down from generation to generation. If they abandon their hometown and ancestors, they will escape from other places, and come to the underground, what are their faces to meet their ancestors!

"Ren Taiweng said this correctly. Yuan Benchu ​​has four generations and three kings, with a prominent life experience and has received strong support from many gentry members. In addition, he has recently annexed Jizhou and has many soldiers and generals. He is no longer the Yuan Bohai he used to be. As long as he is willing to help and send a strong army, I believe that Dong Zhuo will retreat in the face of difficulties!"

"What's more, we still occupy the city and have the danger of terrain. When fighting, we may not be able to fight."

"Also, we can join forces with the Southern Xiongnu in Hexi to promise benefits and let them attack Dong Zhuo from behind!"

Everyone said it and said it, and the more they said it, the more they felt that they were thinking, and the atmosphere also changed from the initial tension to the brisk, as if victory was right in front of them.

Listening to the crowd's high-profile discussion, Yang Chou was gradually brainwashed, and it seemed that he really felt that defeating Dong Zhuo was no problem. So he became tough and shouted: "Okay, since you don't want to leave, then my Yang family will sacrifice their life to accompany the gentleman. I will write a letter to send it to Jizhou quickly."

If life is not at risk, who would be a lost dog?

The letter was written and Yang Chou was handed over to Qin Hong, a confidant, and ordered him to set off for Jizhou immediately.

Qin Hong brought a letter and rode his horse all the way.

After several days and nights of travel, I finally penetrated the Taihang Mountains and entered the boundary of Wei County in Jizhou.

However, when he entered the county town, he was told by local officials that Gongsun Zan led troops to invade the south. Yuan Shao, as the governor of Jizhou, had already gone to Hejian, Jibei, and confronted Gongsun Zan at the border.

Qin Hong had no choice but to replace the local horse with a new horse and continue running northward.

Several more days passed, and Qin Hong, who was so tired that he finally arrived at Hejian County.

After exploring the Yuan army's camp, Qin Hong hurried over, dismounted outside the village, and requested to see Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was currently in a meeting in the Central Army's tent and discussed with his subordinates how to restrain Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

Gongsun Zan's cavalry in Youzhou was very fierce, and the scalp of Yuan Shao's infantry in Jizhou was numb. If Gongsun Zan's cavalry was not removed first, it would be difficult to win this battle.

In this regard, some people suggest digging trenches to block and restrict them; some people think that bows and arrows can restrain cavalry, so it is better to form bow archers, cut down trees, and make a large number of arrows; some people say that looking down from the mountain, using the mountain terrain makes Gongsun Zan's cavalry unable to perform the charge effect...

In short, no one can convince anyone if the husband says he is right. For a moment, the big tent was as quarrel as the chicken and duck market.

But the lord Yuan Shao is a person who is not sure about it. He has serious choice entanglement. He thinks this is good or that is OK, and he is really troublesome.

At this time, the troops inspecting the outside world reported: "Lord, someone from Shangdang County has come, claiming to be Qin Hong, saying that there is something urgent to do and want to see you."

Hearing this report, the quarrel gradually became quiet.

"Shangdang County? Zhang Yang's people?"

Yuan Shao asked suspiciously. Since he was busy dealing with Gongsun Zan recently, he had hardly paid much attention to Shangdang's direction. The main reason was that there was Taihang Mountains in the middle. It was difficult for the intelligence network to extend, and the news was often delayed, so Yuan Shao didn't know at this moment that Zhang Yang was dead.

The general shook his head and replied truthfully: "No, it's Yang Chou's subordinate."

"If you want to know the purpose of this person, you might as well let him come in and report it." Staff Tian Feng made a comment.

Yuan Shao nodded.

Soon, Qin Hong was taken to the tent.

When Qin Hong saw Yuan Shao, after holding his fists, he took out Yang Chou's handwritten letter and handed it to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao only read it briefly and lost interest.

Now that he is fighting with Gongsun Zan, he has no intention of caring about such little things. What's more, when there are good things, these people never remember them. Now that they have brought Dong Zhuo, they want to ask themselves to help. How can such good things be in the world?

Dong Zhuo is a difficult guy. Although Yuan Shao has a place in Jizhou, he can really compete with Dong Zhuo, but he is not stupid. Why do he do this thankless thing?

I don’t want to help in my heart, and I still have to say beautiful words on the surface.

"Qin Hong, go back and tell Yang Chou for me that he must hold on. When the governor of this state drives away Gongsun Zan, he will lead a large army to reinforce Shangdang!"
