Zhang Yanbing divided into two ways, one to attack Yecheng, the other to ambush. The way to attack Yecheng was smooth at the beginning, but when it was getting closer to Yecheng, it was blocked.

It's not going well.

After all, Yecheng was the base camp of Yuan Shao, with a large number of troops.

It's not easy to defeat these armies. In addition, Zhang Yan arranged for soldiers to ambush Yuan Shao on his way back. He did ambush Yuan Shao's army, but only captured hundreds of soldiers, and did not catch any other big fish.

Zhang Yan and Pang Tong were very dissatisfied with the result.

It's a waste of work.

When Zhang Yan's troops slowly advanced to Yecheng, Zhang Xiu arrived with the army. Zhang Yan went out to welcome Zhang Xiu in person. After seeing Zhang Xiu, she said with her fist in her arms, "I've met my Lord, general Zhang Yan. I'm incompetent in my humble position. Today, I can't enter Yecheng. "

After a pause, Zhang Yan said, "the lowly soldiers were ambushed on the way, but only nearly 800 yuan soldiers were captured. The rest were not captured."

Zhang Xiu was surprised and asked, "didn't you meet Yuan Shao?"

"No!"

Zhang Yan replied: "according to the soldier's report, on the way, Yuan Shao left by another way. At that time, Yuan Shao left Xu you to lead the team, but after Yuan Shao left, Xu you left immediately and disappeared. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu sneered.

Yuan Shao regarded Xu you as an abandoned son, and Xu you left directly.

This time, Yuan Shao lost a lot.

Pang Tong faced Zhang Xiu, some lost, said: "Lord, humble and general Zhang attacked Yecheng, but failed, please punish."

Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "you two, what's the matter? One said he was incompetent, the other pleaded guilty. Why are you guilty? You have destroyed Yuan Shao's last insistence by exterminating Yuan Shao's grain transport team and raiding Yecheng. "

"You've done a lot!"

"In this battle with Yuan Shao, it will be very difficult to destroy yuan Jun in dangyin county and make Yuan Shao collapse completely without your help."

"The two of you are not only innocent, but also meritorious."

Zhang Xiu big sleeve a whisk, command a way: "go, now the Army meet, kill to rush to Ye City!"

"Here it is

Zhang Yan and Pang Tong bowed their hands.

Although Zhang Xiu didn't say anything and praised them, they didn't achieve their goal, but they were lost.

After all, it's a little bit off.

The army continued on their way to Yecheng. Today, Zhang Xiu's army has nearly 100000 people. In addition, the strength of Zhang Guishun's embroidery is greatly increased.

All the way to Yecheng, almost no one can stop him. When Zhang Xiu's army was getting closer to Yecheng, Yuan Shao had already taken the path to return to Yecheng.

Yuan Shao mobilized all his forces to defend Yecheng, but he was still worried.

Now in this situation, Gongsun Zan came to kill in the north, while Zhang Xiu came to kill in the army, and Yuan Shao was already stretched out. The most important thing is that there has been no news about Gao Gan's action in Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao was worried.

Ye City, the general's house.

Yuan Shao's face was as deep as water, and there were civil servants and military generals sitting below. All his faces had a burning look.

Yuan Shao's eyes swept the crowd and said in a deep voice: "today, Zhang Xiu's army is about to arrive in Yecheng. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan meet, and Xu you with the team, has no news. I'm afraid Xu you was killed. Now, how can we resist Zhang Xiu? "

When people heard the words, they were silent.

Zhang Xiu's military front is too strong to resist.

Deep in everyone's heart, there is that kind of fear and worry.

Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shi and asked, "military adviser, what do you think should be done when Zhang Xiu is killed this time?"

He said: "my Lord, I think I can only fight to the end. In today's situation, we have no other choice. We are backed by Jizhou and have a deep foundation. We summon all forces to fight with Zhang Xiu to the end. I don't believe it. Zhang Xiu dares to fight with us. "

But Yuan Shao frowned and shook his head.

He doesn't like his plan. It's too risky. What if he is defeated by Zhang Xiu?

He has no way back.

Guo Tu zhengse said: "my Lord, I think that at this time, I can only endure temporarily to avoid the edge of Zhang Xiu. When we have solved Gongsun Zan's threat, we will consider revenge. Therefore, he suggested to send someone to Zhang Xiu for peace. "

Yuan Shao's eyes brightened.

Guo Tu's words hit his heart.

Now that the war is going on, Yuan Shao doesn't want to fight any more and plans to make peace with Zhang Xiu.

But Yuan Shao said: "in today's situation, Zhang Xiu has an absolute advantage. I'm afraid it's not easy for Zhang Xiu to accept peace. "

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "I heard that Zhang Xiu captured Cao Cao's eldest son Cao ang and general Yu ban when he was fighting with Cao Cao. But Zhang Xiu accepted Cao Cao's request for peace."Yuan Shao said, "I know about this."

Guo Tu continued: "but at that time, Cao Cao married a daughter to Zhang Xiu. At that time, Zhang Xiu agreed to Cao Cao's terms. It can be seen that Zhang Xiu is quite lecherous. The Lord can follow Cao Cao's example and marry his daughter to Zhang Xiu, and then give her some compensation, which is bound to make her retreat. "

Yuan shaodeng was silly and said, "but there is no daughter of the right age under the general's knee. Even if there are, the rest of the daughters are married. "

The rest of them all looked surprised.

No one thought that Guo Tu would come here. If you ask Zhang Xiu for peace, that's all. It happened that Yuan Shao should learn from Cao Cao and marry his daughter to Zhang Xiu.

It's so funny.

Guo Tu, however, looked solemn. He said solemnly: "at the Lord's knee, although he has no daughter of the right age, I heard that Zhen MI, a daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan state, was born in 1928. She was beautiful and beautiful. The Lord might as well take Zhen Mi as his adopted daughter and marry her to Zhang Xiu to promote peace. Zhang Xiumu is very fond of women, and he is likely to agree. "

WOW!!

When they heard the speech, they looked at Guo TU with a look of consternation in their eyes.

It seems that he first met Guo tu. in order to make peace with Zhang Xiu, Guo Tu did not hesitate to suggest Yuan Shao, let Yuan Shao accept the daughter of the Zhen family as his adopted daughter, and then make peace with Zhang Xiu.

It's a shocking operation.

But when Yuan Shao heard this, he looked happy and praised: "yes, yes, the Lord is right. It can be done like this."

Gongze is the character of Guotu.

Guo Tu said in a deep voice: "it's easy for the Lord to accept Zhen MI. As for seeking peace with Zhang Xiu, we must pay a certain price again. "

"Newspaper!"

At this time, soldiers entered.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shao asked

Soldier report: "report back to the general, is Bingzhou governor Gao Gan, there are war reports back."

Yuan Shao said: "hand it up!"

The soldier took out the letter and presented it to the desk in front of Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao waved the soldiers back, he opened the letter to read. After reading it, his face was also gloomy. He patted the letter on the desk and said in a deep voice: "Gao Gan sent back the letter. He sent troops into Hedong county and was strongly resisted. In particular, Zhang jaw reaction speed, has moved troops into Hedong, Gao Gan is difficult to approach Chang'an

"Alas..."

When they heard the words, they all sighed.

It's over!

The last hope, shattered!
