Chapter 99 (1/2)
That night, Zhang Ying took the vanguard army to set up camp not far from the city gate. Zhang Ying's troops only lost more than 5000 people, while Liu Bei's army lost more than 3000 people even though he was defending the city. This kind of casualties is not normal in the city attack war. This shows that the quality of Liu Bei's army is much worse than that of Jizhou army, and it also strengthens Liu Bei's determination to stick to it.
In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shao's 70000 drove out of the Bohai Sea. Looking at the Bohai city in front of him, Yuan Shao looked at the figure on the head of the city with hatred. Although he could not see the figure clearly, Yuan Shao was able to confirm that the man was Liu Bei. Yuan Shao spat at the head of the city and said: ”Liu Bei is a man! I will take your head off your neck this time! ”
”Lord!” Zhang Ying clasped his fists and said, ”the last general has attacked the city once yesterday. The garrison of Bohai city is really vulnerable. But there are two generals in the city, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. It's really brave of thousands of people! If not for these two people yesterday, we would have won Bohai city at the end of the day
”Well!” Yuan Shao recalled the two brave figures in the first battle of Panshui. He also knew that Zhang Ying's words were true. At the moment, he praised him and said, ”I also know that Juanyi has worked hard!”
It has to be said that Yuan Shao's personal charm is still good. This sentence was so hard that Zhang Ying was moved to tears. He immediately worshipped him and said, ”at the end of the day, he would like to kill Bohai city again for the Lord, and swear that he would not return to the camp if he did not seize the city head!”
Yuan Shao was very satisfied with Zhang Ying's loyalty, nodded and said, ”Jun Yi, don't worry! When our army takes the Bohai City, it is like searching for things. Why do we have to work hard to lose our troops? Isn't that cheap, Gongsun Xiaoer? Pass on our military order. Let's take a day off today and prepare to attack the city tomorrow! ”
”Here it is Zhang Ying bowed down with his fist, and then got up to convey Yuan Shao's military orders.
”My Lord, what a mirror! Use war like a god! How can Liu Bei and others resist the Lord's army? I expect that tomorrow the Lord's army will be able to break the city easily! ” Among the officials behind Yuan Shao, a tall and thin man sprang up and praised Yuan Shao. Then other officials began to flatter Yuan Shao with gorgeous words.
After Yuan Shao, there are two middle-aged scholars looking at each other. The scholar with a white goatee on the left arched his hand and said to Yuan Shao, ”Lord! Is it too hasty to attack tomorrow? ”
”Oh?” Yuan Shao was flattered by the courtiers. The sudden admonition made him frown a little. Yuan Shao looked at the scholar with disgust and said, ”why does Mr. Tian Feng say this?”
The young white faced scholar on the right was surprised when he saw Yuan Shao's appearance. He quickly and quietly pulled Tian Feng's sleeve. However, Tian Feng continued to say: ”my Lord! Now Liu Bei is a turtle in a jar, not if surrounded and trapped. When the news comes that general Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Gao Lan attack Zhongshan state, the morale of the Bohai garrison will be broken! We can't break the Bohai Sea! If we do not attack the city tomorrow, will it not cost us? ”
After listening to Tian Feng's words, the white faced scholar secretly cried out that Yuan Shao was lenient in the outside and scruples in the inside, and he would certainly be angry when he said his mistakes like Tian Feng. Sure enough, Yuan Shao, after hearing Tian Feng's advice, snorted coldly and said, ”you and other scholars can only talk on paper! Yesterday, Zhang Ying had already killed the morale of the garrison. Tomorrow, when he attacked the city, his army would be scattered! If we wait for a few days and wait for Liu Bei to straighten out his army, will it not take more than a lot of soldiers to attack him? ”
Tian Feng has yet to be debated, but he is held back by the life and death of the white faced book. Yuan Shao turns his horse and leaves with a glance from the corner of his eye. Many other civil servants behind Yuan Shao are all satirical in their eyes. Tian Feng is missing once and follows up closely. Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao and left so indignantly that he shook his sleeves and said to the white faced scholar, ”Gonghe! Why did you stop me? Although the Lord's law can conquer the Bohai Sea, it is easy to give up and difficult to take. As ministers, I should be admonished! ” Having said that, we should catch up with Yuan Shao to remonstrate.
Juxu pulled the reins of Tian Feng's Mount, and tried to persuade him: ”Yuan Hao! Don't be confused! Today, you contradict the Lord. You have already made him unhappy! If you remonstrate again, you will be punished by the Lord! Anyway, the Lord's view can also win Bohai City, and the loss is not very big, why do you have to suffer? ”
Tian Feng gazed at Ju for a long time, and finally lowered his head. He sighed: ”Gonghe, I never knew this truth. However, it is not the salary of the Lord who can not be loyal to his advice.” After that, Tian fengchong worshipped Ju and said, ”Gonghe! I beg you for one thing today, I hope you will agree! ”
”Oh! Yuan Hao! What are you doing? ” Ju gave up Tian Feng in a hurry. He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Tian Feng zhengse said: ”it's more dangerous and less auspicious for my brother to go here. For my brother's family members, I hope Gong and Nian have worked together for many years, and take more care of them.” With that, Tian Feng quickly snatched the reins from Ju's hands, clapped his horse directly, and chased Yuan Shao away.
”Oh! Yuan Hao! Yuan Hao As soon as juxu saw Tian Feng go, he was in a hurry to catch up with him. However, the horse that had no choice but to sit down had problems at this time. Driven by juxu, he just turned around in the same place and didn't chase after him. Juxu, who was not good at riding, could only watch Tian Feng catch up with Yuan Shao.
After a moment or so, juxu finally settled down on the unruly beast. He was about to chase after him. However, he heard a sad voice. On hearing this, he recognized that it was Tian Feng's voice. He felt cold in his heart and rushed to Yuan Shao's big account.When he arrived at the big account, juxu quickly dismounted and entered the account. As soon as he came in, he saw Yuan Shao's iron face, and several of the ministers on the side were all looking like schadenfreude.
”Tian Feng, an old man! Bully me too much Yuan Shao's remaining anger did not disappear. He did not pay any attention to the etiquette of Ju's teaching, but directly overturned the wine table in front of him.
