Chapter 145 Yuan Shao returns to Yecheng

The aristocratic families are just like a bunch of grassroots, falling on both sides when the wind blows.

In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the interests of the family outweigh everything else.

Yuan Shao sits in Yecheng and is in charge of the north, so the interests have been divided and everyone is satisfied.

However, if Yecheng belongs to Cao Cao and Cao Cao takes charge of the north, then these interests will inevitably have to be re-divided.

There is no doubt that once the interests are re-divided, some of the interests of these aristocratic families in Yecheng will inevitably be taken away.

After all, Cao Cao also has some wealthy families under his command.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of the wealthy families in Yecheng, it would be best for Yecheng to continue to be controlled by Yuan Shao.

Now that Su Ming has taken control of Yecheng, these aristocratic families are waiting and watching.

They definitely wouldn't dare to act rashly until they understood Su Ming's strength.

However, once they learn that Su Ming has around 800 men, they will definitely retake Yecheng as soon as possible and return Yecheng to Yuan Shao.

There are many aristocratic families in Yecheng, and their servants guarding the courtyard, private soldiers, etc. together are quite large.

If these aristocratic families were to unite, Su Ming might not be able to defend Ye City.

As the old saying goes, it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. This is also true.

Those who took advantage of the chaos to escape last night were all Yuan Shao's hardcore people who were afraid of being liquidated.

The remaining centrists are the most numerous and the most difficult to deal with.

Su Ming touched his chin and thought, if he wants to stabilize these wealthy families, he must first bluff.

Let them think that there will only be a large number of troops entering Yecheng.

After thinking about this, Su Ming told Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, take our brothers, raise more flags, go out of the city at night, and enter the city during the day, so as to show that there are sufficient troops."

Then Su Ming said to Xu Qian: "Second Master Xu, I have to borrow your private soldiers and let them put on armor and follow Wen Yuan to act as an army."

"Yes!" Zhang Liao accepted the order with his hands raised.

Xu Qian also replied: "No problem, our Xu family will fully cooperate with General Su."

The trick Su Ming used was also used by Dong Zhuo back then.

At that time, when the general He Jin was fighting with the eunuchs, he led Dong Zhuo to Beijing.

When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, He Jin had already been killed by the eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo entered the capital to take control of the government.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo brought five thousand troops to Beijing.

Dong Zhuo knew that it was obviously unrealistic to control such a large capital with only five thousand soldiers and horses.

If you want to intimidate the officials and take control of the capital, you have to look like you have enough troops.

At that time, his counselor Li Ru gave him an idea: let the soldiers sneak out of the city at night and wait until daytime to enter the city in full view of the public.

This cycle goes back and forth, creating the appearance of a steady stream of troops entering the city.

The moves Su Ming used this time were the same moves Dong Zhuo used in Luoyang.

As long as you use this method and spread some news about Yuan Jun's defeat in the city, it will not be difficult to control the entire Ye City.

At this time, on the way to Yecheng.

Countless soldiers in armor, with flags flying all over the sky, are marching towards Yecheng.

On the large flag of the Chinese army, there is written the character "Yuan" with a flying dragon and a phoenix.

This army is none other than Yuan Shao who returned to Yecheng.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, a middle-aged man wearing armor is sitting on a tall horse.

Although this man looked impressive, he looked very tired.

This man was none other than Yuan Shao. He had been traveling for days and days, making him look a little tired.

After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was eager to return to Yecheng.

Yuan Shao at this time is somewhat similar to Gongsun Zan back then.

Back then, after Gongsun Zan was defeated in the Battle of Jieqiao, he returned to his own city of Beiping and built a Yijing Tower.

Finally, Gongsun Zan burned himself on fire and died on the Yijing Tower.

For a moment, Yuan Shao actually had an idea in his mind. He felt that he seemed to be Gongsun Zan back then.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao quickly shook his head and threw the idea behind him.

"I, Yuan Shao, am by no means Gongsun Zan. A temporary defeat does not mean anything. I still have You, Qing, Yecheng, and half of Jizhou!"

"If Cao Mengde wants to defeat me, it will definitely not be that easy. As long as I return to Yecheng, I will be able to defeat Cao Mengde in three to five years!" Yuan Shao secretly made up his mind.

At this moment, Yuan Shao still didn't know that his Yecheng had been lost.

Yecheng now is a trap, just waiting for him to crawl into it.

"Report" At this moment, a scout rushed up on horseback and rushed to Yuan Shao. He quickly knelt down and reported: "Lord, something serious is going wrong!"

"Liu Xuande ran away with 50,000 of our soldiers. He lost his right wing position without firing an arrow or slashing his sword."

"As a result, our army's rear defense line has been defeated, General Ju Yi was captured alive by Cao's army, and General Gao Lan's whereabouts are unknown."

After hearing the news brought by the scouts, Yuan Shao's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

"Hoo ho!"

"Hoo ho ho!" After Yuan Shao took several deep breaths, he cursed: "The big-eared thief mistook me, the big-eared thief mistook me!"

"If I don't kill the big-eared thief in this life, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

Now, it can be said that Yuan Shao's hatred for Liu Bei is not inferior to that of Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao thought to himself, Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, is not very particular!

Back then, after he was defeated by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, he was as panic-stricken as a lost dog with nowhere to go. He took him in without saying a word, but treated him politely and used him with great importance.

He never expected that at the critical moment, Liu Bei would stab him fatally.

If Liu Bei hadn't escaped with the 50,000 soldiers deployed on the right wing, the defense line responsible for blocking Cao Cao would not have been defeated.

It is absolutely impossible for General Ju Yi to be captured.

After hearing the news, Zhang He's expression became serious.

First, he was worried about the safety of his good brothers Ju Yi and Gao Lan.

Secondly, he was also worried about the safety of his lord Yuan Shao.

Now, they haven't arrived in Yecheng yet?

Moreover, Zhang He knew that Cao Cao had an elite cavalry called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Now that the defensive line they left to block the enemy has been defeated, Cao Cao will definitely send troops and horses to kill Yuan Shao in order to eradicate the root cause.

If Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry came up, they would be in trouble.

"Yuan Hao, what do you think we should do now?" Yuan Shao quickly asked the military advisor Tian Feng.

Tian Feng twirled his mustache three times and said: "The most urgent task now is to escort the lord back to Yecheng, and dispatch two young masters from Congyou and Qingzhou to escort him."

"However, if we want to return to Yecheng smoothly, we must be careful of Cao's army catching up from behind."

"General Jun Yi, you have to stay as an ambush. If Cao's army catches up, he will ambush and kill Cao's soldiers on the spot."
