The young master they support is still Yuan Shang, and there is nothing to complain about because it happened, because Yuan Shang may take the blame.
Yuan Shang understood this point better, and Guo Tuzhiqu didn't mention that matter, so he was quite generous and asked, "Guo Gong, what should I do then?"
"There are two ways, one is that the third son will go directly to Ji County, and the other is that the third son will stay here with us to defend against Zhang Fei's tribe, and wait for the army sent by the lord to go back to aid Yecheng.
I suggest that the third son stay here temporarily, and it will not be too late to make new plans when things become clearer. "Guo Tu gave a pertinent suggestion.
Yuan Shangdao: "Okay, I will listen to Mr. Guo."
As soon as Yuan Shang was appeased here, Guo Tu received the news that the four counties of Yichang, Xinchang, Linxiang, and Fangcheng had been captured by the Jinwu Guard the next day.
Compared with the siege of Yecheng, this news made Guo Tu and others even more anxious.
Xu Ding's appetite is really big, not only has Yecheng besieged, but now even we are not spared, he wants to completely block Yuan Shao in Youzhou.
Therefore, Guo Tu asked Zhang Yun to quickly gather his soldiers and horses, move closer to his side, and give up Rao Yang and Wu Heng directly.
At this time, he understood very well that Jizhou was hopeless, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, Yuan Shang has given up Yecheng, why does he have any reason to manage Yecheng, it is far better to save his strength and withdraw to Youzhou first.
Xu Ding's troops are all out, this is a decisive battle, and the soldiers and horses must be used together, otherwise they will be defeated one by one.
So he ordered the army to attack Yichang, Xinchang, Linxiang, Fangcheng and other places.
This is exactly the same as Xu You's opinion, but Cheng Yu is in command of the three guards. Cheng Yu also has a plan. The three guards are here. The picture will not be released.
At the same time, let the navy land in Mashui and Yishui one after another to reinforce the three guards of the four cities, and stick them here like nails.
At the same time as the large-scale fighting began in Youzhou, the final battle of Qinghe County also started.
With the return of Guo Jia, Guan Yu and others, Yu Jin and others finally stopped pretending and besieged Ganling City again.
"Listen, the defenders in the city. Yecheng was broken by our army, and Yuan Xi died. Our army is like a broken bamboo in all parts of Jizhou. It is attacking Changshan, Zhongshan and other counties. Now the huge Jizhou is surrendering to us. host.
Those who are sensible immediately open the city and surrender. My lord has the virtue of being good at life and is willing to treat the prisoners well. If we wait until we capture the city, then those who have blocked our army from taking the city, whether they are generals or soldiers, will be hit ten thousand times. "
The Donglai Army kept promoting at the four gates of Ganling City.
After hearing the news, everyone in the city panicked.
Ganling City was besieged, and it was surrounded by three elite school lieutenants, how to fight this, it can't be beaten.
With the loss of Yecheng, Weijun, Zhaojun, Anle, and Julu all surrendered, what are we going to fight in Qinghe?
All of a sudden, there was chaos in the city.
Even high-ranking cadres were disturbed and confused.
So he brought all the generals to ask Cui Lin.
Cui Lin smiled wryly and said: "The Donglai army has sharp weapons to attack the city. Yecheng is taller and stronger than Ganling, and has more soldiers and horses, but they failed to defend it, and our Ganling is even more impossible.
And the lord will not send troops to rescue us, so there is no hope of defending the city, let's break through separately. "
"Break out separately? Can we get lost?"
"That's right! The Donglai Army should still have cavalry. I'm afraid we will be killed if we flee."
"Shall we surrender?"
"But can Xu Ding treat us kindly? I heard that he doesn't use surrendered generals or captured generals. They have all been sent overseas. Surrendering him is not the same as exile."
For a while, the generals talked about everything.
Gao Gan pulled Cui Lin aside and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are we really hopeless? How can we break through the siege?"
"It seems that the decision will be based on the scriptures, so I think it's closer to Youzhou or Sizhou." Cui Lin asked.
Gao Gandao: "Of course it is Sizhou. Qinghe County is only separated from Hanoi by Wei County, while Bohai County and Hejian Kingdom are separated from Youzhou by Zhang Fei."
Cui Lin said: "That's right, the general can go out of the city to the west, we will break out directly from Guo Jia's front, casualties are inevitable, as long as we break out, we will be like a bird out of a cage and a fish into the sea."
"Thank you sir, do you want to leave together, sir?" Gao Gan was overjoyed and thanked him with cupped fists.
Because this is the same as what his cousin Gao Rou said.
Cui Lin said: "If I don't leave, will I still do this for the general?"
If he surrendered to Xu Ding, of course he would first sell Ganling City and the gang of high officials.
But Cui Lin really didn't plan to surrender, because the Cui family had to split their bets.
It is enough to have Cui Yan alone with Xu Ding, even if he surrenders to Xu Ding, it will not change the fact that the Qinghe Cui family has been suppressed and weakened.
It's not enough to find a next family, set up another family, pull up the Cui family, and pass on the Cui family.
Cui Lin was also willing to leave, Gao Gan smiled brightly, and then expressed another concern of his own.
It turned out that the reason why Yuan Shang and Feng Ji sent Han Heng and Yin Kai to assist him was actually to monitor him.
If Gao Gan chooses to go west to Hanoi, he will be opposed by Han Heng and Yin Kai.
The two are loyal to the Yuan family and must break out in the direction of Youzhou.
Cui Lindao: "General, it's simple. Let the two of them be the vanguard, let them attract the attention of the Donglai Army, and we will break through to the west from behind."
Gao Gan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he gave a thumbs up: "It's still Mr. Gaoming."
Next, the high-ranking officials approached Han Heng and Yin Kai and explained the key relationship, expressing their intention to break out and go to Youzhou.
Han Heng and Yin Kai didn't want to sit still and wait to die in Ganling City, so they agreed and accepted the order of the senior officials to let them take the lead.
If being a vanguard at other times means losing troops and taking the lead, but being a vanguard at this time means that the probability of escaping is the highest, so the two of them gladly took orders.
At night, the cold wind is biting, and the north wind howls.
The four gates of Ganling City deliberately did not light any torches, as if they were not afraid of the Donglai army attacking the gates at night.
Without it, it was only because Gao Gan and others were about to break out of the siege, so they deliberately did not light the fire, in order to be more silent when they left the city, and no one could be seen.
Han Heng, Yin Kai and others led the army out from the north first, walking quietly and making noise is strictly prohibited.
Bypassing the camp of the Donglai Army, Han Heng, Yin Kai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the direction of Ganling City. Go to Youzhou."
Han Heng frowned slightly and said: "Aren't we waiting for the senior officials and Cui Lin? If they get into trouble when they go out of the city, we can help them."
Yin Kai said with a smile: "What are you waiting for? If Gao Gan and the others are discovered, they are just used to hold back the Donglai Army. Now that we are safe, why don't we go back and jump into the fire pit?"
People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, and Yin Kai is not a good stubble, so it doesn't matter if he sacrifices a high-ranking official for his own life.
