Chapter 650

For Gu Yi.

The moment Liu He declared himself emperor, he had already announced his own death sentence.

The so-called former subordinates of Liu Yu were the group of people who had followed Liu Yu in opposing Gongsun Zan back then.

Later, after Liu Yu was defeated and died.

Among this group of people, a portion was recruited by Yuan Shao, and the other portion chose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

It was not until Yuan Shao and Cao Cao supported Liu He in declaring himself emperor that this group of people received the news and rose up again.

Their combat effectiveness was not very impressive.

The total number was at most only 20,000 to 30,000 people.

It was better for them to go to Jizhou to help Yuan Shao; it saved Gu Yi the time of cleaning them up one by one.

"This Yuan Benchu and Ju Gongyu, in order to resist the military edge of the Prime Minister, are truly willing to pay for everything."

Fa Zheng sighed sincerely.

Since when was the Runan Yuan family hailed as the number one aristocratic family under heaven.

And now, Yuan Shu of the Yuan family had died in a sea of fire, and Yuan Shao was also in imminent danger.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before this so-called number one aristocratic family under heaven would thoroughly head toward destruction.

And before formally attacking Jizhou.

Gu Yi had another great gift he wanted to present to Yuan Shao.

……

A few days later

Looking at the three routes of reinforcements gathered in Yecheng, the sense of security in the hearts of Yuan Shao and Ju Shou rose significantly.

Although.

The previous Yellow River flooding had caused Yuan Shao and the Jizhou aristocratic families' main troops to suffer heavy losses.

But the remaining 50,000 soldiers were all elite veterans who had experienced life-and-death tests (dog head, funny), and their combat effectiveness was guaranteed.

Coupled with the wealth plundered from merchants by the Jizhou aristocratic families, and the group of mountain bandits gathered by Ju Shou.

In just over a month, besides the original 50,000 troops, Yuan Shao had raised another 80,000 troops!

That is to say, at this moment in Yecheng, besides the three reinforcement armies that had rushed over from different directions.

They still possessed 130,000 soldiers who could fight.

Plus Yecheng was extremely sturdy.

Even if Gu Yi led a large army to forcibly attack the city, Yuan Shao was not afraid in the slightest.

Now.

Plus the three reinforcement armies.

The total military strength inside Yecheng reached 270,000!

(Yuan Shao 130,000, Cao Ren 70,000, Supuyan 50,000, Liu He 20,000.)

270,000 troops, plus the sturdy Yecheng.

This should be enough to fight Gu Yi, right?

Well, neither Yuan Shao nor Ju Shou dared to guarantee this.

Then taking a step back.

Even if they couldn't win on the frontal battlefield.

They should be able to defend the city, right?

However.

Just as Yuan Shao and Ju Shou were happily preparing to hold a grand military parade.

A change suddenly arose!

Among the 50,000 troops who had followed Yuan Shao and Ju Shou in fleeing back from the battlefield, a significant number of people suddenly threw down their tools and refused to work!

Moreover, this group of people kept conveying a kind of "war-weary sentiment" to the soldiers of other armies.

They had witnessed the moment the surging Yellow River water rushed toward them.

It was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, and nothing could stop it.

Therefore.

These soldiers, although they had indeed accumulated a portion of combat experience.

But... the shadows and fear in their hearts were also truly terrified to the extreme!

There was no help for it.

Everything came too suddenly.

The insignificance of life made them feel their own fragility.

Guarding their own small plot of land at home, accompanying their wives, children, and old fathers and mothers, wasn't that good?

Why must they rush to seek death and go to the battlefield to face those blades and spears?

Of course.

The reason this group of soldiers erupted with such a strong war-weary sentiment.

Behind it, naturally, was the intentional promotion by the intelligence guards Gu Yi had dispatched!

The work of the intelligence guards was quite professional.

Under Gu Yi's guidance, they could keenly grasp the softness and fear deep in the human heart.

That group of veterans who survived the battlefield had indeed been tempered by blood and fire.

But so what?

They didn't win a victory, but fought a defeat!

Countless colleagues who had spent their days and nights together, even before they could react, had already died in the swift Yellow River water.

Facing such a situation.

How could this group of veterans who survived the battlefield not have nightmares every day?

So many colleagues died, even if their stress-resistance ability was strong, they couldn't withstand such torment, right?

Yuan Shao and Ju Shou felt very shocked about the strike of this group of veterans under their command.

It wasn't that they were stupid, but that they simply hadn't expected that Gu Yi's intelligence infiltration work could reach such a level!

As the saying goes.

Only by winning the war of public opinion.

can one possess the discourse power to lead the wind direction.

Clearly, Yuan Shao and Ju Shou were thrown eighteen streets away by Gu Yi in this war of public opinion!

However.

If they strike, let them strike.

The old rule: first give a certain degree of threat, and then give a sweet date.

People who can come to be soldiers in this day and age.

Besides a small portion who were brain-dead and wanted to fulfill their "general dream."

Most of the rest were because of family problems, or some other reasons, and had no choice but to come to join the army.

People, after all, always have their own Achilles' heels.

Yuan Shao and Ju Shou, as those in power, liked the feeling of having everything under their control.

But...

They miscalculated again.

Since Gu Yi had already dispatched intelligence guards to incite the soldiers, why couldn't he incite others?

A force that the Celestial Dragon Ju Shou hadn't expected erupted in Yecheng.

Yes, the main force of that group was precisely the common people who had never been looked upon by the Celestial Dragon Ju Shou!

Even, in the education received by the Celestial Dragon Ju Shou, common people were born to be ruled by the rulers.

Burning their own value for the rulers was what the common people should do.

Mere mud-legged people, how dare they resist the rulers?

But the problem is.

The oppression suffered by the common people was too deep, too deep!

This time, the common people could no longer endure it. ===== CHAPTER 651 =====
