Zhou Cheng said with a smile:"Qu Yi is reinforcing Changzi City. Teacher, Yuan Benchu ​​is still worried about Qu Yi."

With the fall of most of the land in Shangdang County, Changzi City is now a dead land. ', has no strategic value.

Therefore, whether to defend Changzi City or not is of little significance.

However, Yuan Shao also sent Qu Yi and 20,000 elite troops to Changzi City.

The purpose is to test Qu Yi. If Qu Yi wants to defect, then let Zhang Yang kill Qu Yi and seize the military power.

Jia Xu said,"Lord, in that case, why not besiege Changzi City?"

Li Ru looked at Jia Xu and said,"Does Wen He want to force Qu Yi to surrender?"

"No. Jia Xu said:"Although Qu Yi is good at fighting, he is arrogant and arrogant. Even if he surrenders, he may not be convinced. He will rebel sooner or later, so we should take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate him." Zhou Cheng said:"

Teacher, do you want to wait until the food in the city is exhausted and force Qu Yi to break out?" Jia

Xu said:"Qu Yi is good at fighting and should not underestimate the enemy. Although the lord is brave and has countless elite soldiers and generals under his command, the trapped beasts are still fighting. Why should we lose our troops and generals?" What's more, the eldest son also has Zhang Yang's department. If Yuan Benchu ​​refuses to save him and Zhang Yang falls into despair, he will open the city and surrender."

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and agreed with Jia Xu's idea.

The highest level of Sun Wu's military use is to defeat his opponents strategically.

And Zhou Cheng did not want to cause unnecessary losses during the siege.

……

The end of September 196 AD.

Zhou Cheng and Zhang Yan joined forces to surround Changzi City.

Changzi City was surrounded by large armies.

In the eldest son city.

Qu Yi was on the city wall, watching the Zhou army's military strength.

The Zhou army camp was well organized and obviously full of capable people.

Moreover, the patrolling sergeants were in great military appearance, with well-equipped armor and weapons. They were obviously an elite army.

However, Qu Yi was not afraid.

Although Zhou Cheng's cavalry is said to be the best in the world, Qu Yi has the Euphorbia Knights who are specialized in restraining Qu Yi.

The halberd warriors are heavily armored, and the halberds in their hands can effectively restrain the cavalry.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng led a large army to besiege the city, and the daily consumption of military rations must be considerable.

Hu Chuquan is not a fool, I believe he can harass Zhou Jun's food road.

Of course, Qu Yi also understood that Yuan Shao sent him to reinforce his eldest son to test him.

Not only is it a test, but it is also a desire for profit that consumes Qu Yi's army and horses.

Qu Yi's army and horses were trained by Qu Yi. They were originally the defenders of Yecheng. They all obeyed Qu Yi's command.

At this time, Qu Yi's cousin Qu Tai said:"Brother, if Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't send reinforcements, what should we do?"

Qu Yi said:"There are still 60,000 shi of military provisions in the eldest son's city, and we and Zhang Yang's army and horses There are more than 40,000 people in total, enough to hold on for more than a month."

Qu Tai asked again:"What if the Zhou army continues to besiege the city?"

Qu Yi did not answer immediately.

In fact, Yuan Shao sent him to Changzi City for reinforcements, which was to force Qu Yi to death.

Now Qu Yi has only two choices. One is to show his loyalty by sticking to it.

The other is to lead an army to break through, and the result of the breakout must be that the Zhou army will pursue them.

Once being pursued, it would be impossible to maintain the military formation. Facing the Zhou army's cavalry charge, they would only be slaughtered.

Zhang Yang was also trapped in Changzi City.

Although there are still more than 40,000 troops and horses in the eldest son city, facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Zhou army, Zhang Yang does not think that his remaining defeated soldiers and the county soldiers transferred from various counties can have much effect.

Of course, what made Zhang Yang even more dissatisfied was that Yuan Shao actually asked Zhang Yang to monitor Qu Yi.

This has become so urgent that he is still doubting his own general!

Zhang Yang was very disappointed with Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao didn't send Yuan Jun to respond, Zhang Yang would even want to surrender to Zhou Cheng.

Although Zhou Cheng is a thief, he is now the Grand Sima, and Luoyang has long been in Zhou Cheng's pocket. If he joins Zhou Cheng, he will definitely not lose his wealth and glory.

……

Taiyuan City, Prefecture Mufu.

The news that Changzi City was surrounded by the armies of Zhou Cheng and Zhang Yan had already been known to Yuan Shao.

At this time, the important counselors under Yuan Shao were debating whether to rescue Changzi City.

Tian Feng said:"My lord, Uncle Zhang Zhi has always been loyal to his lord, guarding Huguan for his lord and resisting the Zhou bandit army. Now Changzi City is under siege. If he doesn't save it, it will probably chill his heart."

Uncle Zhi means Zhang Yang.

And Zhang Yang is from Yunzhong in Bingzhou. If Yuan Shao refuses to save Zhang Yang, then the Zhang family in Yunzhong will not give up.

Moreover, if the aristocratic families and wealthy families in Yunzhong no longer support Yuan Shao, the consequences will be disastrous.

Without Yunzhong's war horses and military rations, it would be equivalent to destroying one's own strength.

Jushou also said:"My lord, there are still 40,000 troops and horses in the eldest son's city. If they are abandoned, it will probably chill the hearts of the soldiers in Bingzhou."

Guo Tuze snorted softly and said,"My lord, the Zhou thieves and Zhang Yan have a combined force of thirty More than ten thousand, now the army is surrounding the eldest son, but they are not attacking. Obviously, they are waiting for the lord to send reinforcements. This is the strategy of siege and reinforcements."

Shen Pei also said:"My lord, although the city of eldest son is a dead place, it can still delay the Zhou thieves. If you delay the army for one more day, you can give your lord more time. As long as Han Wen makes an appointment with Liangzhou cavalry to Bingzhou, then there will be no worries about annexing the state."

Feng Ji thought for a while and then came out and said:"My lord, Ziyuan persuaded Han Wen to make an appointment. , it has been more than a month, but Han Wenyue still stands still, probably because he is afraid that the lord will break his trust."

Yuan Shao asked Feng Ji:"Yuan Tu, what is the plan?"

Although Yuan Shao has six counselors under his command, the one Yuan Shao trusts the most is, It's still a good time.

After all, Feng Ji was the first to follow him. He also advised Yuan Shao to capture Jizhou and planned Yongzhou for Yuan Shao.

Feng Ji said:"You can send the eldest son to Jincheng as a pledge to convince Han Wenyue."
