Chapter 815: Yuan Shu Escapes
It was unexpected that Cao Ang would lend food to Zhang Yu, Sun Ce did not expect it, and neither did Zhang Yu.
What he thought was that Sun Ce might lend him a little, but Cao Ang might not. As a result, Sun Ce didn't borrow it, but Cao Ang did, and a lot.
Zhang Yu was stunned when he received the news. He didn't understand, and then he simply didn't think about it. Anyway, he borrowed it, and it wasn't a bad thing.
But Sun Ce's reaction was different.
He sent a letter to Cao Ang before, proposing a joint fight against Zhang Yu.
Originally, among the three parties, Sun Ce was at a disadvantage, but now others have taken the lead.
"Gongjin, three uncles, what should we do?" Sun Ce sat at the head, reporting with his hands full.
Zhou Yu frowned, and the three veterans looked worried.
Zhou Yu was also very surprised by this news. Judging from the time, Cao Ang made his decision before the letter of their joint resistance to Zhang Yu reached Cao Ang.
This news is very confusing, and Zhou Yu can't figure out that Cao Ang has actually counted them into it.
"Bo Fu, uniting with Cao Cao to fight against Zhang Yu is our way of survival. If we want to keep this large area and prevent Zhang Yu from acting rashly, we can only unite with Cao Cao." Zhou Yu said again.
They are next to Zhang Yu across the Yangtze River and in a large area connecting Danyang County.
With such a large place, their strength is not very sufficient. If they go to war, they will not be sure to keep these places, let alone Cai Mao in the west to cooperate with him.
"Gongjin, what is your suggestion?"
"I'll talk to Cao Ang and win him over again, but I'm afraid there will be a price to pay," Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce agreed after thinking about it. They are indeed not Zhang Yu's opponents now.
If you are not Zhang Yu's opponent, you can only join forces. Sun Ce has no other choice.
If a triangle relationship can be formed here, it may buy time for Sun Ce.
Zhang Yu didn't know about the confrontation between them, and he was still worrying about various problems.
After Cao Ang agreed to borrow grain, Zhang Yu immediately sent someone to meet him and bring the grain back.
After that, a large number of refugees were organized to go back, and at the same time, Jiangdong organized more forces to respond.
Everything is going fast.
Zhang Yu estimated that one million refugees can be organized to go back. If these refugees are transported to Kyushu, then Guo Jia's problem can be solved.
Within a few days, Zhou Yu went to reach an agreement with Cao Ang. The content of the agreement was very simple. One was how much Sun Ce would compensate Cao Ang, and the other was that after the war, the two would jointly guarantee the stability of the region.
To put it bluntly, if Zhang Yu wants to attack someone, they will unite.
As for the two joint attacks on Zhang Yu, none of them thought about the difference between attack and defense.
When defending, the two have common interests, but when attacking, the two cannot trust each other. If the other party is cheated and then divided up, this is entirely possible.
At this time, Yuan Shu also made some moves. He was ready to break through at any time.
In Shouchun City, Yang Hong hurriedly entered the "Imperial Palace" after receiving the news.
Yang Hong held the received letter tightly in his hand.
He walked quickly to the main hall, and was allowed to enter after reporting.
"Your Majesty, there is news. Yuan Shao has news." Yang Hong said.
Sitting on the dragon chair that he made himself, Yuan Shu regained his energy.
"quick."
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao agrees to send a large army to support him, but we have to go to the border by ourselves. In addition, Yuan Shao emphasized that we must give him the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom when we contact him." Yang Hong said.
"This Yuan Benchu already knew that he coveted my Imperial Jade Seal." Yuan Shu said angrily after hearing this.
Yang Hong didn't dare to speak. At this time, Yuan Shu was still thinking about his imperial jade seal.
"Break out when you're ready," Yuan Shu said again.
Yuan Shu already understood that Shouchun couldn't hold on, and it was the best choice to seek refuge with Yuan Shao.
They are all from the Yuan family, so they won't look too ugly. At the same time, Yuan Shao will at least not do anything to him for the sake of his own reputation, and he can still keep his glory and wealth.
Yang Hong got Yuan Shu's will and hurried to arrange it.
After a while, Yang Hong came to Yuan Shu again.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can break out immediately." Yang Hong said.
Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe and a hat, and he was dressed very rigorously.
"Okay, let's break through."
This time Yuan Shu chose to break out in the evening.
In Shouchun City, the army is lined up, but the military appearance is not very strict.
There was not much expression on the soldier's face.
Headed by Ji Ling, Yuan Jun's hundreds of generals lined up to wait for Yuan Shu's order.
Eight palanquins were carried to carry Yuan Shu out of the palace, and Yuan Shu tested his army like a military parade.
There were more than a hundred court ladies and eunuchs following Yuan Shu, and there were hundreds of officials after that.
Yuan Shupu put his foot on it, and everything was done according to the emperor's etiquette.
Yuan Shu obviously didn't have much thought about mobilization, and after a few words, he ordered Ji Ling to make arrangements.
Ji Ling explained to the generals, and then asked them to go back and bring their own troops.
When the agreed time came, Ji Ling ordered: "Open the city gate."
The drums sounded, the flags were waved, and the four city gates opened almost simultaneously.
Ji Ling took the lead and rushed out with the army.
The two troops in the middle immediately joined forces, surrounded Yuan Shu and the officials, and protected them from leaving the city.
Outside the city, Cao Ang ordered to retreat.
"Yuan Shu is insufficient evidence. Our primary goal is to occupy Shouchun City, control Shouchun City, block Zhang Yu's soldiers, and prevent Zhang Yu from attacking us in the future." Cao Ang said.
Yuan Shu would break through, long before they expected Zheng
However, Cao Ang's strategic goals have long since changed.
Their goal is Shouchun City. If Yuan Shu leaves, they can control Shouchun City, and there won't be too many accidents in the middle.
If Shouchun City is blocked to prevent Yuan Shu from getting out, and he finally makes a strong attack, then Sun Ce and Zhang Yu will join in together, and the final situation will be uncontrollable.
Now that Yuan Shu wanted to escape, there were many opportunities to chase and kill him during the hundreds of miles away.
"My lord, let Yuan Shu escape if he wants to. Although he will cause us a lot of trouble if he really joins Yuan Shao, if he doesn't occupy Shouchun City as soon as possible, the trouble will be even greater." Cheng Yu said.
Cao Jun retreated again and again, and had no intention of attacking at all, which made Yuan Shu very happy.
"Hmph, if you dare to attack with an army of 500,000, I'm not a vegetarian." Yuan Shu said with contempt as if he had regained some confidence.
The expected battle did not happen, Yuan Shu left the city very smoothly.
Three hours later, the rear army left Shouchun Shili.
"No, Yuan Jun set fire to it."
At this time, a fire broke out in Shouchun City, and Cao Ang and the others had just rushed outside Shouchun City.
"Hurry up and put out the fire." Cao Ang didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so mad that he ordered the fire to be set on fire.
This was also one of Yuan Shu's arrangements. After they left, they would set fire to them so that the enemy would not be able to pursue them.
