Just when the Wangjiazhuang family was chatting, Yecheng, the seat of governance in Jizhou, had been besieged for three months at the moment. Cheng Yu surrounded the point to send reinforcements, completely depleted the reinforcements from other counties, and then took advantage of the situation to defeat the other counties in Wei County.

Today's Yecheng is a lonely city, surrounded by four or five thousand soldiers at the same time, and later increased to 10,000 people. If it weren't for the strength of the city and the use of soldiers' lives, I am afraid that it would have fallen long ago...... No, maybe it's just Cheng Yu, who simply didn't work hard to attack the city.

"Captain, how long will this besiege?" Yu Ban finally got a little impatient, so he asked.

"Another month, right?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Why don't you say it, just spend the New Year here directly." Yu Ban shook his head.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and others next to him also pricked up their ears at this moment, so many people are consuming here, and no one feels comfortable. However, if the Legion Commander didn't speak, they couldn't do anything.

"Are you complaining, I haven't been able to conquer Yecheng for four or five months?" The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth lifted slightly.

"Commander else planned?" Yu Ban seemed to hear something.

"Last year, the two-front battle, not to mention the imperial court, the amount of military rations dispatched was much less......," Cheng Yu said slowly, "Winter is not suitable for fighting, and considering the problem of military rations, we have to wait until next month, when the winter wheat is harvested and new military rations are transported, we can attack with all our might...... When the time comes, not only Yecheng, but at least the entire Jizhou will be defeated! ”

It turned out to be a problem of military rations, and indeed, the siege was not attacked, so at present the army is provided with two meals a day. At the same time, the quality of the food did decline a little. If you think about it, the lack of military rations is indeed a problem.

I heard that on the Jiangnan side, the Yangzhou Army joined the Jingzhou Army and fought a battle in the Chibi area, destroying all the superior troops of Sun Quan's department. It seems that it is also because of the lack of military rations that they have to accept the other side's peace talks.

Finally, on the Qingzhou side, the Xuzhou Army went north, and of course it also needed a large amount of military food supply. After conquering Qingzhou, under the cover of the Yanzhou Army, the Xuzhou Army went further north, defeated Bohai County, and is now on the border of Youzhou, containing Yuan Shang's troops so that they cannot go south.

"Plus!" Cheng Yu saw that everyone had begun to ponder, so he continued to add, "In the battle of Guandu, we have made too many contributions, and we should always show it to the Hanoi detachment and the comrades of the Xuzhou Legion." ”

In the battle of Guandu, the Central Army and the Yanzhou Army garrisoned the army, and there were only 20,000 or 30,000 troops to deal with Yuan Shao's troops of more than 60,000. In the end, a series of big victories forced Yuan Shao to flee north in embarrassment. In the opinion of the newspaper: This is a battle that can be recorded in history.

At this point, the credit is already big enough, and continuing to fight is just icing on the cake. Question: Hanoi and Xuzhou Legions, the results are still too few, they eat meat by themselves, and they always have to give others a mouthful of soup, right? Let's just say that now, the Xuzhou Army is in Bohai County, containing the Yuan army in Youzhou and sweeping away their worries, which is to repay the peach.

"Then what you say is reasonable......" Yu Ban muttered, he was not convinced by this reason.

"One last reason...... I'm trying to get Yecheng to surrender on his own initiative, mainly to keep Yuan Shao alive" Cheng Yu said the last reason, perhaps this is the most important reason.

"As you can see, this city is not easy to fight, and the ladder car and thunderbolt car do not work. The other party probably knows that it is an isolated city, and it is also a defense, so even if it is defeated, we will suffer heavy losses...... The key is the lord's side, she should hope that we can capture Yuan Shao alive, right? Cheng Yu looked at Yu Ban.

"I don't deny this......" Yu Ban nodded, it is rumored that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also small when they were young, and their relationship was not bad. Cao Cao didn't speak, but that didn't mean they were ignorant. If you can take prisoners, it is naturally better to be captives.

"But I think Yuan Shao, I'm afraid I won't ......surrender," Zhang Fei came forward, "Our previous battle, she was so painful, let's not talk about it, let's just say that if we surrounded her for so long, if she plans to surrender, I'm afraid she has already surrendered." ”

"So I didn't expect her to surrender!" Cheng Yu smiled, "There are not many people in there who want to surrender!" ”

Hebei Siting Pillar, deducting the 'one pillar' Han Meng in the middle, Yan Liang was beheaded, Wen Chou was captured, and it is said that it was sent to Gongsun Zan as a continuation. Zhang He and Gao Ran are also currently serving in the Yanzhou Army, and under Yuan Shao, there are no outstanding generals.

The key is that it has been ordered for a few months, and there is no extra military food in it, Yuan Shao is not in a hurry, some of her subordinates are in a hurry!

"Legion Commander, do you already have a plan?" Yu Ban asked, he knew very well that Cheng Yu would say those words, and he must have been prepared. Her character is like this, unless she is nine out of ten, otherwise she won't take it out.

"I have secretly passed through Yuan Shu's old department and contacted the nephew of the judge, Xianrong! I promised him a high official and a beautiful woman, and he promised to open the gates of the city for us in the night of three days! Cheng Yu said slowly.

"Really?" The generals immediately became interested, and Yu Ban was even more excited, and immediately asked.

"I also got a message...... Yuan Shao has been seriously ill in the past few days, and I am afraid that he will not be able to survive these two days. Cheng Yu sighed, originally planned to wait until she surrendered, but he didn't expect to boil Yuan Shao to death first.

Women, unless it is an ancient species, the standard is a life expectancy of 200 years, and some of those who have shortened their life span due to nutritional problems have at least a hundred years of life. Yuan Shao is currently at the age of 'prime', but he didn't expect it to become depressed, and even dying.

"Is the information reliable?" Yu Ban frowned.

"I have already received news from Yuan Shu's old department and Xianrong's side, and I have confirmed that there is nothing wrong." Cheng Yu nodded.

"As soon as Yuan Shao dies, the defenders will inevitably be temporarily chaotic, and when the time comes, Jurong will open the city gate, and the overall situation can be determined." Yu Ban nodded, Yuan Shao was really sick and died, so there was no way, they could be regarded as doing their best.

"Will there be fraud?" Zhang Fei was still a little worried.

"I don't rule out this possibility, but Yecheng, where the middle door is wide open, is worth a gamble! The key is to be mentally prepared for this! Having said that, even if Yuan Shao is crazy, it is impossible to set Yecheng on fire, right? Cheng Yu was entangled.

"The military division under Yuan Shao's command is not that Chen Gongtai, and he attacks with fire at every turn." Yu Ban laughed. In fact, it is also emotional, that Chen Gong, first ordered Puyang, and then ordered Xiapi, which can definitely be regarded as an arsonist demon.

When you fight with her, when you encounter a city that needs to be attacked, you have to consider whether the other party will directly give the city a point.

"Based on the above meaning, everyone go back and prepare well, and in the evening of three days, we will begin the siege! But in the last few days, it is necessary to make a slight feint and create some pressure on Yuan Shaojun! Cheng Yu concluded.

"Yes!" The generals replied one after another, but Gao Ran and Zhang He had somewhat complicated expressions. It's just that the two have surrendered, and they sigh to sigh, what to do, or do it seriously.

At the same time, in Yecheng, Yuan Shao was indeed weakened to the limit because of heart disease, coupled with irregular diet and malnutrition in the past few months. In the middle of winter, there was a lack of supplies, and I suffered from the wind and cold, and I couldn't afford to be sick from the beginning of spring.

"I'm only going to go so far?" Yuan Shao raised his hand, looked at the withered appearance, and sighed.
