Chapter 499
"Yuan family kid!"
In the hall of the official temple in Jicheng, Liu Yu slapped the table hard.
According to the news from Jizhou, Yuan Shao has sent five armies to Youzhou.
The Jizhou army, which is in a siege, has the idea of completely conquering Youzhou.
This made Liu Yu furious.
But he could do nothing about it.
Originally, Youzhou is a border state. Not only is it bitter and cold, but it also needs to defend against foreign invasions.
As a result, now they have to face the sabers from their compatriots. That feeling is simply uncomfortable.
"Mr. Governor!" Qi Zhou suggested.
"The most important thing now is to gather soldiers and gather strength."
"Whether it is the military force defending the border in Shanggu County or the soldiers in other counties, they should be immediately recalled to Jicheng."
"Only after concentrating our strength can we compete with the Jizhou army."
"Our current military strength is too dispersed."
Liu Yu refused on the spot, "No!"
The stern voice echoed in the hall.
"I am a Han official, how can I lose the land?"
"The soldiers at the border are the soldiers who defend the country, how can we move lightly?"
"What if the Southern Xiongnu or Xianbei get the news and take advantage of the chaos to come? What should we do?"
"Should we let the people at the border face those inhumane foreign bastards?"
"I can't do this."
Qi Zhou sighed secretly.
Liu Yu's character is fine in peacetime.
But it's not right now.
How can such a dispersed military force withstand the attack from the Jizhou army?
Qi Zhou thought hard, but he couldn't think of a way to stop the enemy.
"Why not..."
He secretly observed Liu Yu's expression, and finally suggested with courage.
"I will send someone to Tanghai for help."
"Youth is in danger, Youzhou is once again occupied by Jizhou Army, Tanghai will have to face Jizhou in the next battle."
"Yuan Shao, who owns two states, must be a major concern for Tanghai."
"I guess Tanghai will not let Yuan Shao become too powerful, right?"
Liu Yu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and nodded slightly, "It can only be like this."
"It is much better to let Liu Yu come than to let Yuan Shao come."
"No matter what happens, Youzhou will still be Han territory."
Under Liu Yu's order, Jicheng sent an envoy to Tanghai for help.
The two brothers Xianyu Yin and Xianyu Fu, the generals, gathered the soldiers of Jicheng to prepare.
Be ready to respond to the attack of Jizhou Army at any time.
...
The five armies of Jizhou advanced in unison and won battle after battle.
The counties and prefectures of Youzhou could not withstand the attack of Jizhou Army at all.
With sufficient food and various weapons and armor, the Jizhou army's combat power soared.
Attacking Youzhou counties was a piece of cake.
Not to mention, Yuan Shao sent people in Yecheng to instruct frontline advisers to use his name to win the hearts of Youzhou people.
As long as the Youzhou officials or soldiers surrendered, not only would there be no punishment, but they would also be promoted one level.
Those who made significant contributions were immediately promoted three levels.
In the face of such a huge temptation, coupled with the strength of the Jizhou army, many Youzhou officials could not resist the surrender offensive.
The entire Youzhou collapsed faster than Liu Yu imagined.
In addition, many young and strong people in Youzhou were attracted by Tang Hai to work, and the counties did not have too many available manpower, and they were very empty.
It gave Jizhou an easier opportunity to attack.
Yuan Shao received the good news of the frontline's successive victories in Yecheng, and he was so excited that he could not help himself.
The battle was smoother than he expected.
For a moment, he began to feel a little proud.
Even if the soldiers were not as elite as Tang Hai, overwhelming them in numbers and crushing them with absolute strength was also a way.
Jizhou soldiers were not those loose and useless Yellow Turbans.
Tang Hai's soldiers could defeat 100,000 with 3,000.
After all, if Jizhou soldiers could not defeat 1 in 5, could they not defeat 1 in 10?
It was probably the maximum number of soldiers gathered in Tang Hai's bitter cold land.
And it was impossible for everyone to be so elite.
Yuan Shao thought about the civilians that Tang Hai brought to Luoyang before.
He thought that it was probably Liu Yu who changed the clothes of the regular soldiers and made them civilians for the sake of face.
How could he have such elite civilians?
Which prince had such strong men, didn't he have to treat them as regular soldiers?
How could he let them be civilians?
Although Tang Hai had strong soldiers and horses, it was hard to stop a pack of wolves and tigers.
As long as he takes Youzhou, he will own two states.
Then he will take Bingzhou and Qingzhou.
If he unites the four states and puts all his efforts into it, he doesn't believe that Tanghai will not be crushed.
Yuan Shao took the officials of Jizhou to a banquet to celebrate.
There was a scene of singing and dancing in Yecheng.
The officials of Jizhou, who had stabilized, rekindled their bureaucratic style.
The whole Jizhou gradually moved towards the style of the original court officialdom.
Even further.
The new officials who got power were graduallyVarious situations corrupted.
The sudden huge power and wealth made Yuan Shao's retainers unable to control it.
Chaos grew wildly in the dark.
Officials covered up for each other, and the people were speechless.
...
Jicheng.
Liu Yu was a little dazed for a while in the face of the rapid defeats in Youzhou.
Although he had long known that the general situation was over.
But he still kept a fantasy in his heart.
He hoped that other counties could do their best to resist the Jizhou army.
But he never thought that the defeat would be too fast.
The whole Jicheng was in panic.
Liu Yu could feel that most of his officials were no longer in Youzhou.
The huge pressure from the Jizhou army made those officials have second thoughts.
"My Lord Governor!" Qi Zhou remonstrated again.
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences!"
"Now is a critical moment. The people in the city are unstable. The governor should act vigorously."
"Only by dealing with some pro-surrender factions can the current situation be stabilized."
"Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before Jicheng collapses from within!"
Qi Zhou gave earnest advice. He knew that Liu Yu was dogmatic.
But as a subordinate, he had to do his best to persuade him.
"Forget it." Liu Yu shook his head. "How can human power stop the heavy rain?"
"Do your best and leave it to fate."
"Even if there were no surrender factions, we could not resist the aggressive army of Jizhou."
"Now we can only place our hopes on the Tanghai reinforcements."
"But if the Tanghai reinforcements come, even if they defeat the Jizhou army, will the Tanghai people leave?"
"Youzhou will no longer be Youzhou."
"I have something else to do. You all go down."
Liu Yu waved his hand.
Qi Zhou was helpless.
Other civil and military officials were even more helpless.
They were all loyal people, otherwise they would never appear in the hall of the official temple today.
Those officials who did not come, I don’t know if they have secretly written several letters of surrender and sent them out.
If they had not firmly controlled the military power in the city and carefully arranged the defense of the city gate.
This Jicheng is estimated to have bloomed inside.
Facing the Jizhou army that was about to encircle Jicheng, Youzhou seemed so powerless.
Liu Yu looked down at the family tree on the table.
He wrote a letter.
Liu Yu Liu Chengzhi, in the future, will be the chief of the royal family and be in charge of the family tree.
After writing, Liu Yu sealed the letter.
Turned and walked into the inner hall, put on armor, and picked up his sword.
Liu Yu changed his appearance of a scholar, and there was a little martial spirit between his eyebrows.
"Don't blame the ancestors, it is really the only ability of our descendants."
"I hope Chengzhi can sweep the world and regain power..."
