The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

The battlefield situation is extremely unfavorable to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao already had the idea of ​​abandoning Jinyang, especially before Zhou Cheng surrounded Jinyang.

The counselors under Yuan Shao were divided into two factions.

One faction advocates defending the city, while the other advocates withdrawing to Yongzhou.

"Lord, there are many thieves and cavalry in Zhou Dynasty. Once our army leaves the city, we will be overtaken by the thieves and cavalry."

"My lord, my lord still has five thousand Euphorbia soldiers. If the Zhou thieves dare to pursue them, they will never come back."

"My lord, retreat to Yongzhou and Chang'an. There are still tens of thousands of Huangpu Li's troops in Chang'an. My lord and Huangpu Li can join forces to fight against the Zhou thieves."

"Lord, if Lu Bu is allowed to capture Yongzhou first, our army will have no way to retreat."

Tian Feng and Jushu advocated defending the city.

Guo Tu, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others advocated retreating to Yongzhou.

There were differences in the opinions of the counselors, and they all had their own reasons. Yuan Shao was not convinced for a while. We know who to listen to.

However, retreating to Yongzhou still has strategic significance.

At least we can unite Huangpu and Li, which are also relatively close to Han Sui. The three parties work together and serve as horns for each other.

……

In the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion, Yuan Shao is still discussing with the counselors, and there is no result yet.

In Jinyang City, people are already panicking.

Whether it is the wealthy families who once followed Yuan Shao to Jinyang, or the local wealthy families.

Now they have no hope for Yuan Shao.

Jizhou was reached first, and now Bingzhou will also be captured by Zhou thieves.

Yuan Shao can only be described as 'incompetent'.

However, they cannot leave Jinyang City now and are forcibly tied together by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao made a smart decision at the last moment.

Forcibly kidnapping wealthy families and letting them live and die with him.

The wealthy families were all afraid of Zhou Cheng, because Zhou Cheng liked to plunder their property and rob their wives and daughters.

Therefore, we can only do our best to help Yuan Shao at the moment.

Control has been implemented on the streets of Jinyang City.

Civilians were not allowed to take to the streets unless they were drafted.

The civilian men who were recruited were carrying stones to prepare for the defense of the city.

"The Zhou thieves are coming fiercely. If the city of Jinyang is destroyed, they will be taken into slavery outside the Great Wall."

"Hey, we can only defend the city with all our strength. After I, the thieves, enter the city, I will not let the woman go."

"For the sake of my wife and daughter, I am willing to live or die with the city in this battle."

"As it should be."

Yuan Jun, who was guarding the city, was whispering to each other and talking about things related to the war.

Yuan Shao, or a wealthy family, was very successful in smearing Zhou Cheng.

Now the whole world, from the princes and ministers to the traffickers and pawns, all have a problem with Zhou Cheng. They have gained a profound understanding.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who are patrolling the city, have heard a lot of voices from the bottom recently.

In their opinion, the military morale can be used and the city can be defended without worries.

……

December 196 AD is coming to the end of the year.

The weather is getting colder day by day.

Zhou Cheng led his army to the outside of Jinyang City, where there was no harassment from the Huns cavalry.

Grain and grass and the troops stationed in Jizhou are being transported to the front line at high speed, transported by horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

Today, the number of death fighting camps and garrison troops has exceeded 60,000.

Even though it is freezing cold now, outside Jinyang City, the garrison troops and the soldiers of the Death Fighting Battalion are still building a stronghold, seemingly to surround the entire Jinyang City.

Inside Zhou Cheng's big account.

Zhou Chengzheng, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Wen Sheng and others discussed where to attack the city.

Although Du Ji always wanted to treat himself as an outsider, he wanted to leave the camp on the grounds that it was 'inconvenient to participate'.

However, Zhou Cheng, Jia Xu and others tried many times to prevent Du Ji from leaving.

What they are doing now is 'deduction'.

Simulate siege and defense.

To Du Ji's disbelief, Zhou Cheng had already obtained detailed information about Yuan Jun's troops.

Including the number of cavalry in the city, the number of Euphorbia warriors, the number of elites, etc.

Even the grain and grass storage areas are clearly visible.

Zhou Cheng's infiltration of Yuan Shao gave him a clear grasp of the information.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao knew so little about Zhou Cheng.

No wonder Yuan Shao was always passive in the war between Yuan Shao and Zhou Cheng.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

Zhou Cheng has already figured out the details of Yuan Shao. Today's Jinyang City is just a piece of meat and bones, a little harder to chew, that's all.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng did not intend to attack by force, but in front of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao had to leave the city and either fight Zhou Cheng or surrender.

Because Zhou Cheng built a Dazhai outside Jinyang City. Although this Dazhai was a wooden structure, it would surround Jinyang City.

Once Dazhai is completed, Yuan Shao will be the turtle in the urn.

Of course, this is just setting fire, using fireworks to smoke out rabbits.

Yuan Shao could choose to escape or stay in Jinyang City.

No matter which choice he makes, Yuan Shao will definitely lose.

What made Du Ji unbelievable the most was the war in Xuzhou.

Zhou Cheng's scouts even paid attention to the war in Xuzhou every day.

Even though they were in Bingzhou, far away from Xuzhou, the movements of Sun Jian and his son, Ji Ling, Liu Bei and others were all clear.
