Chapter nine hundred and sixteen: two-pronged approach

In Yecheng, in the Yuan family's house, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang summoned their advisers over, and the Wuling army was in Chaoge, and they had to discuss countermeasures.

"Guo Tu, tell me, what should I do now?" Yuan Shang looked at Guo Tu with a vicious look on his face.

If Guo Tu hadn't asked him to give up Chaoge, he would have been there for at least a while.

"The third young master doesn't have to worry. The walls of Yecheng are tall and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Wu Shun has artillery, he will not be able to attack for a while. What we need to do now is to concentrate the strength of the entire Hebei to fight the Wuling Army." Guo Tu said.

In Guo Tu's opinion, defending Chaoge was completely unnecessary. A broken city could not stop the Wuling Army.

It is better to concentrate troops, prepare in Yecheng, and rely on the benefits of the city wall to fight against the Wuling Army.

"Mr. Guo Tu, is Xu Du's city tall? It was also captured by the Wuling Army! I want to know how sir can defend the city." Yuan Xi said.

Yecheng is the foundation of their Yuan family. If it is lost, there is no possibility of turning around. Guo Tu wanted to make a desperate bet, and Yuan Xi expressed concern.

"The second young master, Cao Cao and Sun Quan have already used troops to Xuzhou. Most of the Shu troops are in Hebei. Sun Cao's coalition forces are strongly entering Xuzhou. In order to defend, Wu Shun will withdraw some of the troops. This is our opportunity."

Guo Tu talks freely, but it cannot be convinced. Yuan Xi has always disliked Guo Tu.

"Since the Wuling Army attacked Hebei, there must be arrangements in Xuzhou and Jingzhou. The Sun-Cao coalition forces have a possible trend. The military advisors of Shu have long thought of how to repel the nearly 200,000 Wuling Army near Chaoge?" Yuan Xi asked sharply again.

"Second Young Master, our army only needs to defend Yecheng for one month, and the Shu army retreats!"

Guo Tu said confidently.

"Oh? Why are you sure?"

Obviously, Yuan Xi would not easily believe Guo Tu's words. The Wuling Army was coming in a fierce manner, and he was in a state of being unfair and not looking back.

If you can't capture Yecheng for a month, you will automatically withdraw your troops? Yuan Xi seems to be dreaming in the daytime!

"Second brother, you don't have to worry. Let's hear the reason for Guo Tu first."

Yuan Shang really couldn't stand it and made a statement to help Guo Tu. After all, Guo Tu was also his own adviser and could not tolerate Yuan Xi being so stubborn.

"Okay, sir, let's talk about why the Wuling Army retreated for the reason." Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"The second young master, the third young master, there are three reasons why the Wuling army will retreat. First, our Hebei soldiers and civilians will defend Yecheng to the death and will not give them a chance to break the city. If they cannot be captured for a long time, the morale of the Wuling army will decrease; second, the cold winter is coming, which is not conducive to large-scale combat, and the logistics pressure of the Wuling army will increase sharply; third, the Sun Cao coalition is attacking Xuzhou. As long as Xuzhou is broken, they will continue to attack Jingzhou and Yuzhou. By then, Wu Shun will return to support under pressure." Guo Tu said his opinion, which makes some sense.

According to normal circumstances, the Wuling Army's retreat has become a foregone conclusion!

Although Yuan's army retreated all the way and even the Xianbei people invited ran away, Yuan Shao still had a little foundation left. Wu Shun would need to spend some effort to occupy Hebei.

If Yuan Jun wants to win, there is one of the most basic prerequisites - to defend Yecheng! They have no way out and cannot defend Yecheng, everything is empty talk.

Yuan Xi also made some sense when Guo Tu said something. The key is that he also believed that the Wuling Army would not destroy Yecheng.

Yuan Xi was convinced, but there was someone next to Yuan Xi who silently remembered Guo Tu's words. He was Mi Zhu, who Wu Shun had photographed him coming to help Yuan Xi earlier.

As the financial backer of Yuan Xi's power, Mi Zhu, who invested the most, is naturally qualified to stand here.

...

That night, Mi Zhu handed a piece of cloth to his confidant and headed straight for Chaoge!

On Chaoge's side, the Wuhuan people were very efficient in repairing cities. Because of the rewards, they all worked hard.

You can eat meat by working harder, so why do you want to drink porridge?

The Wuhuan people who had eaten meat once had already resisted drinking porridge and eating cakes. In order to continue eating meat, they had to work harder than others.

The city repair was to prevent possible surprise attacks by Yuan's army, and the weather became cold and the soldiers needed to keep the cold.

When he was given Mi Zhu's cloth, Wu Shun was very happy. What he was worried about did not happen. The two young men of the Yuan family had almost no intention of taking the initiative and were ready to hold on the city.

From the news sent by Mi Zhu, Wu Shun learned that Guo Tu was the only one strategist left in Hebei, which was a bit incredible.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shao has many advisers. Yuan Shao is not good enough, so those advisers should continue to assist Yuan Tan and others.

Why is there only one Guo Tu left?

Maybe those three guys have lost their hearts over the years. No matter what, Yecheng must be captured.

"If you want to stick to it, it depends on how long Yecheng can withstand it!" Wu Shun already had a vague idea of ​​siege. He still needs to discuss it with the military advisors.

On the first day of November, Wu Shun summoned his generals and counselors, and had to rest and recuperate as much as he should, and the supplies he should have been in place. It was time to seize Hebei.

Wu Shun ranked first and said to everyone: "Everyone, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are preparing to defend Yecheng to the death. There are 50,000 elite Yuan army soldiers in the city, and the family is not responsible for private soldiers! Yuan army gave up Chaoge just to defend Yecheng wholeheartedly. This will be a tough battle. How to fight, you might as well discuss it."

"Brother, what else do you need to discuss? Just kill me and attack the city from all directions. No one of the boys from the Yuan family can escape."

Zhang Xiong stepped out and said Dalala.

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel excited and his blood surged.

Isn't it? Just kill me and break through Yecheng.

"Second brother, this Yecheng is not that easy to attack, retreat!"

Wu Shun said with a stern face, Zhang Xiong came out and was messing around.

"Your Majesty, what the second general said is not unreasonable. The Weapons Shop sent another twenty Puyuan cannons, which might be able to directly bombard Yecheng."

Dongfang Qiang came out and said.

All Puyuan cannons belong to their Vermilion Bird Legion. Now, in Chaoge City, the Vermilion Bird Legion has fifty Puyuan cannons, and the shells are piled up like mountains. It is enough to make Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang doubt their lives.

"Yes, Dongfang, as long as you have confidence!" Wu Shun said.

Puyuan cannons are indispensable for the Wuling Army to attack the city, so the Yuan army will also be prepared accordingly.

No one knows whether fifty cannons can break through the city before they are verified.

"Your Majesty, you can use crossbow arrows to shoot the news that our army is going to attack Yecheng into the city to disrupt the morale of the Yuan army."

Fazheng comes out of the way.

Before siege, you can create a strong momentum and use the reputation of the Wuling Army to scare some timid people.

"The rebellious army is not enough, and it has to disturb the people's hearts. There are two types of news, one is for Yuan's soldiers, and the other is for the people in the city. How to determine the content, you four of you discuss!" Wu Shun made the arrangement directly!
