Chapter 498: Yuan Shu is out of food

Yuan Shu is simply ridiculed!

I'm just called the emperor, why? Come and hit me, come and hit me!

The princes proclaimed themselves to the emperor, which was the greatest disrespect for the imperial power. If Cao Cao did not attack Yuan Shu but attacked Lu Bu first, he would probably be drowned by the people of the world.

Well, of course, Cao Cao could not do it even if he wanted to bypass Yuan Shu and attack Lu Bu.

Because there is a Yuan Shu in the middle!

Yuan Shu is not stupid now, and it is impossible for him to let Cao Cao and Liu Bei destroy Lu Bu.

Then, now we can only destroy Yuan Shu first and then Lu Bu!

So, Cao Cao ordered 200,000 troops, and Liu Bei ordered 80,000 troops, with a total of 280,000 troops, and rushed towards Yuan Shu.

After receiving the report, Yuan Shu was shocked.

What?

How could they unite to attack me with Cao Cao and Liu Bei?

This, this is a army of 280,000, what should I do?

At this time, Yuan Shu's hands had more than 150,000 troops. If he could withstand the attacks of Cao Cao and Liu Bei?

Yuan Shu couldn't help but panic and hurriedly called his advisers together to discuss countermeasures.

Yuan Shu had four major strategists, namely Yuan Huan, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and Yuan Yin. These four people have always been respected as military advisors by Yuan Shu.

Of course, there is now an additional chief military advisor Pang Tong.

After summoning the five people together, Yuan Shu couldn't help but say with concern: "Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two killers, have to bring people to the door! How should we deal with them now? Everyone, think of a solution?"

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Xiang first complained: "Emperor, it's all a fault that the emperor had not listened to the advice of the empress before. If he hadn't been so anxious to proclaim himself emperor, how could there be such a great danger?"

In fact, at this time, Yuan Shu also felt a little regretful.

Is it too early to proclaim yourself emperor? Are you too hasty?

At this moment, Yuan Huan said, "Oh, Yan Xiang, don't complain anymore! Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei are about to come to the door, why should we think of a solution quickly! What's the use of sitting here to complain? We can't use this to retreat to the enemy!"

Yuan Huan said carefully: "How about we discuss peace with them?"

When Yan Xiang, Yuan Hong and others heard that they had contempt on their faces, they couldn't help but show contempt.

Peace talk?

Now that they have come to the door, do they remember to discuss peace with them?

Besides, Yuan Shu was the emperor. Once he was captured, he would not only beheaded, but also kill the nine clans to behead him.

Do you think that if you commit such a crime, it is so easy to negotiate peace?

Only Pang Tong's expression remained unchanged and said proudly: "Isn't it true that they call us?"

Everyone was puzzled after hearing Pang Tong's words.

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "I wonder why the chief military advisor said that?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Since the lord proclaimed himself emperor, many heroes and scholars have come to join us. But there are still many people who are still waiting and watching. Why is this?"

"This is because they do not have sufficient trust in their lords and do not think that their lords can pass this level! And now, as long as the lords can defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei's coalition, they will definitely become famous. At that time, countless people will come to join the lords."

After hearing Pang Tong's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel moved.

Yes, this time is an excellent opportunity for us!

Only Yan Xiang broke the fantasy of the crowd and couldn't help asking: "But the chief military advisor, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's coalition army had a total of 280,000 troops, and our army, at best, was only 150,000. How could we resist their attack?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. When Tong just joined us, he ordered the soldiers to make anti-city equipment. Now it's time to use them!"

...

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops launched a fierce attack on Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei had already agreed that whoever attacked would belong to him.

Both of these families wanted to occupy more and better positions, so no one was polite to Yuan Shu and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Shu's territory.

At the beginning, because Yuan Shu was not prepared enough, he suffered a big loss and was occupied by Cao Cao and Liu Bei respectively.

However, soon, Cao Cao and Liu Bei discovered that the city behind Yuan Shu was becoming more and more difficult to attack, and their defense equipment was too powerful!

This directly led to a surge in the number of casualties between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei are different, why did Yuan Shu suddenly become so strong in defense?

However, despite this, Cao Cao and Liu Bei still did not give up on continuing to attack the city.

Anyway, they have occupied several cities of Yuan Shu. Since it is difficult to attack the city, it will be consumed slowly.

Anyway, we are the siege side, so we don’t need to siege the city every day, but you have to defend every day.

Just wait until you are tired and you can take the opportunity to seize the city.

In addition, they can not only attack the city, but also bypass the city to destroy supplies and ambush the troops.

It can even destroy crops outside their city.

Wait, in short, there are too many losses.

Especially for Liu Bei, after Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was really like a tiger with wings.

Zhuge Liang's talent was a monster. He repeatedly offered advice and constantly cut off the grain supply of Yuan Shu, which led to a red warning for the supply of grain and grass on Yuan Shu.

In fact, Yuan Shu’s food and grass were not sufficient.

Because when he got Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, both counties were empty cities.

Yuan Shu needed immigration and needed a lot of food and supplies.

Of course, for Yuan Shu, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it. After all, with territory, everything is found.

But in just one year, Yuan Shu became emperor.

After becoming emperor, Yuan Shu did not rest and recuperate, but instead worked hard to make the people suffer money and carried out construction, making the Shouchun Palace magnificent.

But the sufferings are all the people under his rule!

Fortunately, the Yuan family has a great career and a very deep foundation. Otherwise, it would not be enough to be as prodigal as Yuan Shu.

But now, the food supply route was cut off several times by Zhuge Liang, the monster, and Yuan Shu's shallow foundation was exposed again.

Now that the food and grass are in short supply, what should we do?

Without food and grass, they can't hold on for too long!

Now, Yuan Shu was completely panicked.

Only the chief military advisor Pang Tong was still calm as usual.

"My lord, don't worry, isn't it just a matter of food? In fact, we can go to Jiangdong to buy food. In recent years, Jiangdong has been harvesting year by year, and their grain is almost growing in the granary!"

"We can not only buy their food, but also their weapons and armor. As long as we have food, weapons and armor, are we still afraid of not being able to escape Cao Cao and Liu Bei? I believe that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely not have much food."

After hearing Pang Tong's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed, but soon asked uneasily: "Chief Military Advisor, but will Lu Bu sell us the food?"

Today, my nephew suddenly ran over from Yantai to come to play with me and left tomorrow... Life is always full of various dramatic effects. Today and tomorrow, there are still only two updates. I apologize!
