Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 282 Yuan Shao’s army approaches the city
Geng Ji's heart dropped when he saw that Liu Xie couldn't make a decision at this time.

After murmuring a few times, Geng Ji said again: "Your Majesty, the situation is very critical."

"There's no room for much time to think about it."

"Besides, Jiangdong may not be willing to agree!"

"We need time to lobby each other."

Liu Xie looked at Geng Ji, with anger on his pale face: "You want me to be a puppet again, but I can't even have time to think?"

"If I wanted to be this puppet, why didn't I follow Cao Cao in the first place?"

"I, the mighty Emperor of the Han Dynasty, am now so humble that I have to beg for mercy from just one minister?"

"General!"

"You are a descendant of General Yuntai 28."

"Are you even disloyal?"

Geng Ji: "."

Facing Liu Xie's spittle, Geng Ji bowed and said in a hoarse voice: "I am guilty, please punish me!"

Liu Xie waved his hands with a disappointed look on his face and said, "That's all. In this current situation, everyone is protecting themselves. That's all."

"In the world of Nuo Da, there is no longer a loyal minister."

"Get back down!"

"I'll tell you when I think about it."

Geng Ji then withdrew.

Just after exiting the palace hall, I saw Kong Rong coming in a hurry.

Seeing Geng Ji coming out, Kong Rong asked hurriedly: "What did your Majesty say?"

Geng Ji shook his head and said, "His Majesty said that he needs time to think about it."

Kong Rong: "."

Geng Ji looked up to the sky and sighed: "I regret that I shouldn't have killed Xun Yu! Xun Yu wrote to the Marquis of Wu at the beginning, if I didn't send someone to tell your majesty, but instead attracted the Jiangdong army."

"At that time, Yuan Shao didn't know the situation in the Central Plains."

"Jiangdong occupies the entire Central Plains. At least, His Majesty can still sit in the palace."

"Now, it seems that this big man is going to die."

Kong Rong also let out a long sigh.

Ignoring Geng Ji anymore, Kong Rong returned to the mansion directly.

In the courtyard of the mansion, his wife Xu, with a big belly, was watching her son Kong Qi write.

Seeing Kong Rong come back, Mrs. Xu looked over and asked with concern: "How is the situation outside?"

Kong Rong walked to the two of them, shook his head and said: "We are already in a lonely city, and there are no heroes coming to help from all directions."

"In my early years, I was prime minister in Beihai, and someone came to rescue me."

"Now, the Han Dynasty has exhausted its strength."

"And the emperor is unwilling to ask for help from Shouchun's Jiangdong army."

"I'm afraid, we are all going to die here."

Mrs. Xu lowered her head, caressed her swollen belly, shed tears, and choked with sobs: "I am not afraid of death, but this child hasn't had time to see my husband, your father, or the world."

Kong Rong's eyes were also a little red.

Kneeling down, Kong Rong looked at his son Kong Qi, and said with a forced smile: "Qi'er, my father has a good friend over there in Jiangdong, named Zhang Zhao, who is a pastor in Xuzhou. My father, let someone send you to Shouchun, you When I saw Jiangdong’s army, I told him that I was Zhang Zhaoyi’s son, remember?”

Mrs. Xu looked at Kong Qi, tears like broken beads.

Kong Qi raised his head, looked at Xu and Kong Rong, and shook his head.

Kong Rong's voice was also trembling, and he stroked Kong Qi's face and said: "Good boy, you still want to leave blood for my Kong family. Besides, life is very beautiful——"

Kong Qi still shook his head and said: "My father and mother are both dead, so the child should not live alone."

"Living under someone else's roof is worse than a pig or a dog."

"Moreover, if I can go to hell with my father and mother, as a family member, what regrets will my child have?"

"Both father and mother are not here, and the child lives alone in the world. How will the child face it when he sees other people with father and mother in the future?"

Mrs. Xu hugged Kong Qi into her arms and cried loudly.

Kong Rong took Xu and Kong Qi into his arms, and shed tears as well, saying in a trembling voice: "I, Kong Rongkong, have a lot of talent, but I can't serve the country, and I can't protect my wife and children. I'm really not a man! "

Time passes day by day.

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day.

After Liu Xie finished breakfast, he was dejected in the palace.

A clerk hurried over and said breathlessly: "Oh no, Your Majesty, the general has just received the news that Yuan Shao, leading an army of [-], is already less than half a day's journey from Xudu!"

Liu Xie's face turned pale and his hands and feet were cold.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Ask the general to send people to Shouchun immediately, and ask the Shouchun Jiangdong army to come for reinforcements!"

The clerk ran away in a hurry again.

Shouchun.

On the west wall of the city, there are banners.

The fortifications on the city wall have already been prepared.

Countless soldiers were stationed everywhere.

Generals such as Chen Gong and Tai Shici were constantly patrolling back and forth on the city wall.

In the city, all the aristocratic families and ordinary people have been dismissed and gathered in Hefei, Shuxian and other places.

Now, only the Jiangdong soldiers are left.

Craftsmen installed a thunderbolt car near the city wall.

Countless boulders were moved from all directions to the vicinity of the Pili Car.

Buildings in the city were torn down one after another.

The entire Shouchun City was in a tense and busy situation.

Chen Gong patrolled to the west wall of the city and was inspecting a crossbow.

A soldier roared: "There is someone in the direction of Xudu!" Chen Gong looked over.

But it was a young man with straw tied to his body, running towards this side while shaking a bamboo tube in his hand.

Chen Gong said to a soldier beside him: "Put down the rope and pull him up."

The soldier responded and lowered the rope from the city wall.

The young man ran to the city wall, held his knees with his hands, and breathed for a while before grabbing the rope and being pulled up to the city wall.

Passing the bamboo tube to Chen Gong, the young man said anxiously: "My name is Geng Nian, and I am the eldest son of General Geng Ji. I am here to ask for help on your Majesty's orders, and ask the army to go to Xudu quickly!"

"Yuan Shao sent [-] cavalry and surrounded Xudu for several days."

"Now, Yuan Shao personally leads one hundred thousand archers and infantry."

"When I came out, they were already less than half a day's journey from Xudu."

"If you look at it now, we should be arriving soon!"

"Send troops quickly to assist."

"Otherwise, it will be too late!"

Chen Gong took the bamboo tube and didn't even open it.

Beside him, Ji Ling and others rolled their eyes.

They had already received information: Liu Bei and Zhang He led [-] cavalry to besiege the city for six days!
During these six days, Xu didn't come to ask for help.

Now that Yuan Shao has led an army of [-] to attack Xudu, he is asking for help. What help?
Rush to die?
Now there are only [-] soldiers in Shouchun.

Yuan Shao has [-] archers and [-] cavalry!
Chen Gong forced a smile and said to Geng Nian: "My name is Chen Gong, and I am the governor of Lujiang County. I used to have the final say here, but now, Wu Hou has arrived, and Wu Hou has the final say here."

Geng Nian said anxiously: "Isn't that better? Hurry up and let Wu Hou lead his army to rescue!"

Chen Gongdao: "Mr. Geng didn't know something. After Wu Hou arrived here, he thought that his wife Yuan was mourning Yuan Shu in Shu County, so he rushed to meet her. So far, she has not come back."

Geng Nian was so anxious that he turned around and said, "Then send someone quickly to call him back! If you wait any longer, it will be too late!"

Chen Gong called a soldier over and said, "Take Geng Shijun to rest in the city. I will send someone to find Wu Hou now."

The soldier made a gesture of invitation to Geng Nian.

Geng Nian stamped his feet and said: "How can I be in the mood to go in? I'll wait here! Send people to find Wu Hou as soon as possible! Also, the troops and horses should be organized here first. As soon as Wu Hou comes back, we will dispatch immediately!"

Chen Gong spread his hands and said, "The tiger talisman is in the hands of Marquis Wu. Without the tiger talisman, I cannot mobilize troops."

Geng Nian: "."

Seeing Chen Gong's leisurely expression, Geng Nian was so angry that he almost wanted to roar.

On purpose!
It’s definitely intentional!

They just don't want to rescue!

But the curse words reached his throat, and he forced them back.

Now Jiangdong is the only one who has the strength to rescue.

If Jiang Dong is really offended, Xu Du will be completely finished!
Seeing that Geng Nian refused to leave, Chen Gong signaled a soldier to take Geng Nian's bamboo tube to Shu County to Lu Yi.

Suburbs of Shu County.

Lu Yi, Yuan Yin, and Yuan Yin's brothers gathered around Yuan Shu's tomb and played marbles and checkers.

After all, these people are descendants of aristocratic families and have extensive knowledge.

Lu Yi told them the rules of pinball checkers several times, and they learned it.

In the past few days, Lu Yi had been playing chess with them.

Two years have passed, and Yuan Yin and her brothers and sisters have recovered from the death of Yuan Shu.

Especially Yuan Yin, she has become a lot more mature and charming.

At this time, she rested her chin on Lu Yi's shoulder and watched Lu Yi and her brothers play billiards with great interest.

From time to time, she looked at Lu Yi's side face, with a smile on her face.

After two years of not seeing each other, my husband has become more and more regal.

She is much more charming than when her father was alive.

Just when brothers Lu Yi and Yuan Yin were getting serious, Shi Huan came up with a bamboo tube and said: "My lord, this is a document from Xu Du. The emperor asked us to send troops to Xu Du for help. Yuan Shao has already led the troops." One hundred thousand archers have arrived and may attack the city at any time."

Yuan Yin hurriedly removed her chin from Lu Yi's shoulder and looked at Lu Yi with a worried look on her face.

Lu Yi looked at Yuan Yin's brothers and said with a smile: "That's it for today. Yuan Shao may be attacking. I can't guarantee whether this place will become a battlefield."

"Although the three-year mourning has not been completed, I believe that your father will not blame you."

"You pack your things now, and I will notify the officials in Shu County to escort you down the river to the Lu family in Wu County."

Yuan Yin and several brothers hurriedly thanked him.

Lu Yi looked at Yuan Yin again and said, "You also go back. When you get to the Lu family, live a good life. If I don't die in the battle, I will go back to pamper you when the time comes."

Yuan Yin held Lu Yi's hand tightly and said: "I know that my husband is a hero and will definitely succeed. I will wait for your return at the Lu family!"

After saying that, he stood up on tiptoes and kissed Lu Yi on the face.

Lu Yi laughed and asked the four Lu family children to stay here, escort Yuan Yin and others to Shu County officials, and send them down the river.

Lu Yi, on the other hand, led Shi Huan and others slowly towards Shouchun.

Night falls.

Liu Xie was really impatient to wait in the palace.

We haven't received any news from Shouchun Jiangdong's army yet!

He could only rush to the north wall of the city.

Although there are people everywhere on the city wall, there are more than 2 members of various major families.

Below the city, there were more than [-] people helping to defend the city.

However, outside the city, Yuan Shao's army was densely packed all over the mountains and plains.

Countless torches illuminated the outside of the city.

At this time, these armies outside the city were gathering.

Liu Xie looked at this scene and was so frightened that he wanted to faint.

After hurriedly finding General Geng Ji and Zhennan General Kong Rong, Liu Xie asked, "How is Shouchun doing? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Have you sent someone to urge them?"
