Chapter 736 Yuan Shao passed out(1/2)
Shen Pei, Han Meng, Yuan Xi and other officials walked in slowly. Their heads were lowered and they did not dare to look at Yuan Shao.
Each one looks like a frosted eggplant.
"I've met my lord!"
Several people saluted Yuan Shao.
The atmosphere is very weird.
"Zhengnan, General Han, why don't you stay in Bohai City and come back? Is there anything important?"
Yuan Shaodao.
Whether it was Shen Pei or Han Meng, their hearts were in confusion. How to answer this, they were speechless for a while.
"Father, that Bohai City has fallen."
Yuan Xidao.
Yuan Xi's words were like a thunderstorm, instantly blasting all the big guys sitting there into a daze, dumbfounded, and speechless for a long time.
Bohai City fell!
How is it possible?
Bohai City is a fortified city, even stronger than Youbeiping. How can I say it fell? Even if a hundred thousand troops attacked, it would not take more than half a year to capture it.
Suddenly, Yuan Shao and his officials were speechless and looked at Han Meng, Shen Pei, Yuan Xi and others, hoping to give an explanation.
puff!
Yuan Shao spurted out a mouthful of old blood again.
"Lord, don't be angry, be gentle, don't get angry, your health is important."
The doctor immediately said.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's expression improved, everyone calmed down.
"Mr. Zhengnan, Bohai City is a fine city. There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city. How can you say it has fallen? What happened?"
Xu Youdao.
In fact, it was Xu You who saw the look in Yuan Shao's eyes and helped Yuan Shao ask his doubts.
well!
The judge let out a long sigh.
"Lord, Bohai City has been lost, and even the fifty thousand soldiers and horses in the city have been lost."
Judge the way.
What!
Bohai City is gone.
Yuan Shao was slightly stunned after hearing this.
Bohai City is where Yuan Shao made his fortune. Speaking of which, Yuan Shao still attaches great importance to Bohai City.
Over the years, Yuan Shao has left enough troops to garrison in the Bohai area.
"Why?"
Yuan Shaodao.
"Lord, the Lu Su regiment in the plains is too strong. They sent out troops suddenly and we were caught off guard.
Nanpi and Leling were lost one after another, and Bohai City became an isolated city. The Lu Su Corps had a total of 40,000 infantry and cavalry.
We cannot defeat it. The most important thing is that there is a serious shortage of food in Bohai City, not to mention enough to satisfy the people in the city.
Even 50,000 soldiers and horses would cost a lot a day. The Lu Su Corps surrounded Bohai City. With no choice,
I only went out of the city to discuss with Lu Su, asking Lu Su to let the second son and Bohai officials leave, and we give up Bohai City."
Judge the way.
Yuan Shao knew in his heart that there was a shortage of food in the entire Youzhou and Jizhou areas, and relying on Guo Tu to purchase high-priced food from the Xiakou area was simply not enough to eat.
The food problem is the dilemma Yuan Shao is currently facing.
But what?
In the world, except for the areas controlled by Qin Qi, other areas are short of food and want to purchase it from the Xiakou area.
The price was too high and Yuan Shao couldn't afford it.
Coupled with Yuan Shao's strong conscription of troops and horses, Youzhou and Jizhou lacked a large number of strong labor forces, and no one did heavy physical farm work.
If this situation continues, Jizhou's food supply will still not be solved, and there will still be a food shortage next year.
Unless the Xiakou army is defeated and grain is obtained from the area controlled by Qin Qi.
Is it possible?
In just a short time, Youbeiping has been lost, Bohai has been lost, and then the entire Youzhou will become the territory of Xiakou.
Tangled!
"General Han, Lu Su asked you to leave. Where are the soldiers and horses in the city?"
Yuan Shaodao.
"Lord, Lu Su only allows us to take the Second Young Master and the officials away, and does not allow the people and soldiers in the city to leave."
Han Meng said.
What!
Damn it!
Surrender without a fight!
"Father, the soldiers and horses in Bohai City cannot defeat the Xiakou Army. Besides, once the food in the city is exhausted, we will all become prisoners."
Yuan Xidao.
captive?
How could a person from a super big family like Yuan Shao accept his children as prisoners? That was not allowed.
During the trial, Han Meng surrendered without a fight in order to prevent Yuan Shao's second son from becoming a prisoner, making it difficult for Yuan Shao to hold him accountable.
He lost his teeth and swallowed alone.
"Report!"
An order from outside the tent was sent to the soldiers.
"Come in."
Yuan Shaodao.
"My lord, the detective horse from Dezhou came to report the news. Before he fainted, he said that Dezhou has fallen, and he passed out."
Send orders to soldiers.
What!
Texas falls!
Suddenly Yuan Shao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Dezhou is the line of defense that prevents the Lu Su Corps from advancing into Jizhou. Once Dezhou is lost, Xindu City will be under the cavalry of the Xiakou Army.
In order to prevent Lu Su's troops, Yuan Shao deliberately left 50,000 troops to garrison Dezhou City.
This means that in the Bohai area alone, Dezhou City and Dezhou City lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Adding in the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Youbeiping, half of the soldiers and horses were lost.
"I hope Qu Yi from Yuyang City can hold off Zhao Yun's regiment. Otherwise, the entire Youzhou will fall, leaving only the Jizhou region. It will be even more difficult to resist the Xiakou army."
Xu Youdao.
All the officials under Yuan Shao's tent were dumbfounded.
The city fell so quickly that Yuan Shao did not expect it.
"My lord, Youzhou cannot be saved. Not to mention that our Jizhou soldiers and horses are held back by the Gaoshun Corps. Even if we reinforce, it will not have any effect."
Xun Chen said.
"Youruo, your eldest brother, who is under that boy Qin Qi, should know something about the situation in the Xiakou area. If I surrender, how will Qin Qi arrange for me?"
Yuan Shaodao.
Xun Chen is the chief counselor under Yuan Shao's account and is also Xun Yu's younger brother. This is the way a large family behaves.
Eggs are never put in one basket.
"My lord, I don't know about this humble position. However, judging from the letter from the eldest brother, Qin Qi should not care about it and will give my lord a good arrangement."
Xun Chen said.
