As soon as the Zhang River rushed out, Liu Ke easily completed the siege of Yecheng.
Despair is spreading.
Especially when they saw that the Wuhuan cavalry was almost completely wiped out, the shock given to the defenders would definitely not dissipate in a day or two.
Yuan Shao also knew this, so he frequently appeared in front of the soldiers and wanted to comfort them.
Unfortunately, the effect is not great.
Yuan Shao's strength continues to decline.
Since the beginning of the war, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were damaged, and it has continued to decline since then.
??Failed again and again, and now it has been completely defeated.
Yuan Shao seemed to have experienced a terrifying nightmare and often woke up at night.
In the dream, countless Yangzhou soldiers climbed up the city wall, each one cutting Yuan Shao's flesh with a knife, as if they were Ling Chi.
It is difficult for Yuan Shao to bear such pressure, let alone an ordinary soldier?
To be a handsome man, one must have a strong psychological quality, and Yuan Shao achieved this.
No matter how much the loss was, he pretended not to care and only cried silently at night.
The soldiers of Jizhou are tired and they don¡¯t want to fight anymore. However, Yuan Shao will not give up just like that. He will not admit defeat until the last moment.
"How much food is left in the city?" Yuan Shao asked.
"There is enough food in the city, enough for us to eat for a year." Guo Tu said.
A year¡¯s worth of food is quite a lot.
"Speaking of which, the fact that we have so much food is all thanks to Marquis Dongyang." Yuan Shao laughed at himself.
Yangzhou has expanded its grain production, benefiting the whole country.
At first, the food in Jizhou was in the hands of the nobles. Later, Tian Feng came forward to persuade everyone and sold it at a low price, so that Yuan Shaojun's food became sufficient.
"Where is the water source?" Yuan Shao asked.
"My lord, the water source is also sufficient. The Marquis of Dongyang dare not risk the disapproval of the world and poison the water." Guo Tu said.
After all, there are not only troops in the city, but also innocent people.
The two most important things for the army to defend are food and water.
After hearing Guo Tu¡¯s words, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
?Persistence is victory.
Suddenly, Yuan Shao remembered something and said, "Where's the firewood?"
Firewood is indispensable for making a fire and cooking. Under normal circumstances, there will be no shortage. After all, just cutting down some trees is enough.
However, now that Yecheng is under siege, the Yangzhou Army will not easily let them out of the city to cut down the enemy.
"Less than half a month." Guo Tu said.
Yuan Shao¡¯s face suddenly darkened and he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you prepare more?¡±
"My lord, we won a big victory some time ago. We were busy recovering the lost ground and thought we wouldn't use it anymore," Guo Tu said.
"Don't make excuses!" Yuan Shao roared.
Guo Tuzhan was very frightened and did not dare to reply.
Yuan Shao also knew that he had made things difficult for others, but it was impossible for him to stop him and apologize.
Fortunately, Guo Tu was a good man and opened the topic, saying: "My lord, you can demolish private houses. It's not a problem to hold on for a month. After a few days, when the Yangzhou army's blockade is relaxed, they will send people out of the city to cut down."
Yuan Shao nodded, agreeing to the plan.
There are now 700,000 people gathered in Yecheng, and it is impossible to cover everything.
Guo Tu also sent people to post notices in the city, telling the people not to misuse firewood, otherwise they would starve to death at their own risk.
Not only that, big families were also affected. Guo Tu strictly ordered not to boil water for bathing, etc.
This move made people in Yecheng panic.
When did firewood become so valuable?
However, a series of measures are indeed beneficial to Yecheng's defense.
As for the siege for a year and a half, of course Liu Ke would not delay it for so long. Now he is just putting pressure on Yecheng.
When Liu Ke was discussing how to attack Yecheng, a "guest" was welcomed into the military camp.
It is better to say that he is a guest than a prisoner.
This person was Xu You who went to Chang'an to ask for help from Cao Cao. He was caught by the scouts because he was sneaky.
"If you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please!" Xu You said firmly.
"Then kill him." Liu Ke said lightly.
Xu You¡¯s face froze, the script was wrong! He had long heard that Dongyang Hou loved talents, so he said such heroic words.
It¡¯s a pity that Liu Ke has seen through it long ago.
"Hold on!"Marquis Yang, I have something to say! "Xu You said.
"Say." Liu Ke said impatiently.
"My lord sent me to Chang'an to ask for reinforcements, but Cao Cao refused." Xu You said.
Liu Ke smiled slightly and said, "What does this have to do with me, Yangzhou?"
Xu You was extremely embarrassed. He thought that if he told the secret, the Marquis of Dongyang would let him go, but he didn't expect that the Marquis of Dongyang would not let him go.
"I am willing to seek refuge with the Marquis of Dongyang!" Xu You said.
Liu Ke fell into deep thought. Xu You is an important counselor of Yuan Shao. If he is willing to surrender, it will play a significant role in damaging the morale of Yuan Shao's army.
However, Xu You's behavior made him unhappy.
In fact, Xu You was helpless, because he issued a military order and would definitely invite reinforcements, but Cao Cao was too disrespectful.
Xu You had no choice but to return to Yecheng. Unexpectedly, something happened as soon as he came back and he was discovered by scouts.
Xu You surrendered directly in order to avoid suffering physical pain.
After all, he is also a smart person.
However, after seeing Liu Ke¡¯s expression, Xu You¡¯s heart pounded, knowing that it would be difficult to pass this level, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Marquis of Dongyang, please give me a chance. If I bring back the news that Cao Cao refused to rescue, Yecheng will definitely be in chaos."
"Humph, I'm afraid you want to escape from the golden cicada, right?" Dian Wei sneered.
"Yecheng can no longer be defended, why should I deceive the Marquis of Dongyang?" Xu You asked, looking at Liu Ke at the same time.
Anyway, killing Xu You would be of no use to Liu Ke, so it would be better to let him give it a try.
So Liu Ke agreed to Xu You¡¯s proposal.
"Go back and tell Yuan Shao to surrender as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Marquis Dongyang!" Xu You left in a hurry.
After returning to Yecheng, Xu You deliberately spread the news that Cao Cao refused reinforcements.
Yuan Shao was furious and said, "Why are you still coming back?"
Xu You cried and said: "I will live or die with Yecheng."
With one sentence, Yuan Shao softened his heart and pardoned Xu You's guilt.
After all, Xu You has been following Yuan Shao for many years, how could he not have any feelings at all. Moreover, Xu You's loyalty is very important at this time.
This made Yuan Shao feel that he was not alone, so he ignored some suspicious things.
Xin Pi originally wanted to let Yuan Shao kill Xu You. However, at this moment, he thought of a question, how did Xu You come back?
Yuan Shao believed Xu You's lies, but Xin Pi did not.
Thinking of Xu You¡¯s previous behavior, Xinpi quickly figured it out.
Xu You was acting. He must have been captured by the Yangzhou army, but Dongyang Hou let him go.
Xinpi smiled meaningfully, and Xu You happened to see this smile, and suddenly his hair stood on end.
Xinpi couldn't help but sigh, people in Yecheng are already panicked!
Everyone is looking for a way out for themselves.
To the aristocratic family, Yuan Shao is just an excellent master, and as long as he has milk, he is a mother. Now Yuan Shao is useless, and the continuation of the family is more important.
