At that time, Yuan Shao was able to defeat Gongsun Zan’s cavalry, relying on the bowman under the command of Yu Yi. Because of his arrogant character, he did not fit well with other civil and military fighters. Although he was one of the best soldiers under Yuan Shao, his position in these years was not the only one. He didn't improve, but gradually ranked behind Gaolan, but the first thing that Yi Yi thought of after the defeat was to flee back to Yecheng to warn Yuan Shao, and with his commanding talents, assist Yuan Shao in defending Yecheng.
This way to the north, Yu Yi encountered no danger, and the Han army did not pursue it. Only when passing through the blocking position, the wide and deep trench and the dark brown land told him here. There was an extremely tragic battle. The Han army’s 50,000 infantrymen, 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry and Yan Liang’s 100,000 Yuanjun cavalry were blocked here for two days and two nights, which eventually led to their annihilation and indirectly Affected the 300,000 infantry of Yu Yi,
Yu Yi sighed, did not dare to stay, crossed this trench, continued northward, and finally arrived at Wucheng in the evening of the next day.
The sun has not yet set, and there is no time to close the city gates, but the four gates of Wucheng are closed tightly, and the city is full of swords and guns, like a big enemy. However, the originally strong city walls are indeed riddled with holes. It is a masterpiece left by the trebuchet of the Han army and has not been repaired so far.
Standing at the bottom of the city, Yu Yi shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, someone is Yu Yi,"
On the top of the city, Lu Kuang leaned out half of his body and took a closer look. The big man in ragged clothes was indeed the righteous man. He couldn't help but be shocked and asked repeatedly: "General Yu, how did you fall to this point?"
Yu Yi sighed and said, "It's hard to say a word, you can let some go in first,"
Although Yu Yi is quite different from other civil and military warriors, he is very good to the soldiers at the bottom. Lu Kuang used to work under him when he was a small school. Therefore, Yu Yi is kind to him. In this miserable scene of Yi, Lu Kuang hurriedly asked him to find a new dress for Yue Yi to put on, and prepared a banquet to meet him.
Lu Yi was really hungry. As soon as he swallowed, Lu Kuang was stunned. After he was full of food and drink, he stroked his belly and said, "General Lu, please arrange a fast horse. Yue needs to go to see the lord right away."
Lu Kuang persuaded: "General Yu, you look tired now, it is better to rest here for a while, and it will not be too late to leave until tomorrow morning, and there will be something that I don't know if it should be said or not."
Yu Yi waved his hand and said, "Yu has something important to report to the lord, so I dare not stay here for a long time. Just say anything if you have anything to say."
Lu Kuang hesitated for a moment, and said: "The last general heard the rumors yesterday that General Gao Lan has been thrown into prison by the lord. I am afraid that the lord is just angry, and General Yu is going to go at this time. I am afraid it will be inconvenient.
Yu Yi asked in surprise: "You know what crimes General Gao committed,"
Lu Kuang shook his head and said, "The final general guards Wucheng, he didn't dare to leave lightly, and he didn't know what happened. Even the news was secretly told to me when my brother escorted the grain and grass over. It shouldn't be. There are fakes,"
Yu Yi frowned and said: "Could it be because I was waiting for the defeat, but this defeat was due to Yan Liang's arrogance. If you don't listen to advice, you have news about Yan Liang,"
Lu Kuang shook his head very decisively, and said, "I have never heard of this."
The news of Yan Liang’s death in the rebellion has not spread. Lu Kuang naturally didn’t know the whereabouts of Yan Liang. He thought that Yuyi was asking whether Yan Liang was in jail.
Yu Yi thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, now I can't take care of this much. When I see the lord, I will know about it."
Seeing that Lu Kuang couldn’t persuade him, he had to let him go out of the city. Wucheng was originally a peripheral city of Yecheng, and it was also part of the entire Yecheng defense system. Yi and his entourage each got a war horse. The speed was natural. It was much faster, and when he did not move, he had already reached the foot of Yecheng. Like Wucheng, Yecheng had its gates closed. However, Yu Yi was quite prestigious in the Hebei Army. He stood under the city and shouted a few voices before the sergeant let go. Suspension bridge, help him open the city gate,
After entering the city, Yu Yi did not go home, but went straight to the largest house in Yecheng, Yuan Shao’s General Mansion. The scale of this mansion far exceeded the pseudo-imperial palace built by Yuan Shao for Liu Biao. , The decoration inside is even more magnificent,
When he arrived at the General’s Mansion, even the always arrogant Yuyi could only put down his body, jump off his horse obediently, explain his identity to the doorman, and then stand with his hands down outside the door.
That person actually knew Yu Yi, but as a doorman of General Yuan Shao, his eyes naturally grew to his forehead. What's more, he is just a defeated general now, and he has no good face to Yu Yi, another defeated army the day before yesterday. Jiang Gaolan was just thrown into the prison and was taken out from this general mansion. It was this doorman who guarded the gate at the time. Seeing Yuyi, the doorman seemed to have seen the second Gaolan, and he couldn't help but gloat. It took a long time to report to Yuan Shao.
In the past few days, the losses ahead came one after another. Yuan Shao was in a bad mood, and he was getting sick with his body. He was lying on a low couch to recuperate. Hearing that Yu Yi had escaped back, Yuan Shao sat down on the couch all of a sudden. Get up and ask: "What do you think of his complexion,"
Facing Yuan Shao’s questioning, the man didn’t dare to betray nonsense. After thinking about it carefully, he bowed and said, “The slave sees his neat clothes, ruddy complexion, and loud voice, so he must be doing well.”
There was only a few smiles on Yuan Shao's face, and he nodded and said, "That's good, that's good, quickly, please come in,"
This doorman only recalled the scene of Gao Lan’s visit the day before yesterday. He was shocked and ran out. On that day, Yuan Shao also asked him how Gao Lan looked. He answered Gao at the time. Lan was bloodstained and embarrassed. As a result, Gao Lan didn’t have much effort to enter and was taken to the prison. But now Yu Yi came in neatly dressed. He is also a defeated general, but the treatment is not necessarily the same. He is not. Dare to offend a general that Yuan Shao values,
Yuyi was already waiting outside the door and was a little impatient, only then saw that the doorman walked out with a smile on his face. Sora thought about these issues and hurriedly entered the General's Mansion.
Upon seeing Yu Yi, Yuan Shao said with a smile on his face: "General Yu, you are finally back, how about it? Yuan's army is safe and sound, where is Yan Liang?"
Suddenly, Yu Yi lowered his head with a look of embarrassment, and said: "Go back to the lord, the general is incompetent, and the 300,000 army is gone, the lord will punish him. As for General Yan, the general does not know his whereabouts,"
Yuan Shao lost his voice: "What did you say, the 300,000 troops are gone,"
Ju Yi didn’t dare to look up, so he said humbly: “It’s all to blame for the incompetence of the final general. It’s just that the Jingzhou army is so powerful that our army has no chance of winning in the field. The city was guarded, and while sending envoys to make peace with Liu Xin, it was a postponement plan, and then I would slowly try to make it in the future."
Yuan Shao furiously said: "The defeated general, what face is there to make suggestions here, come and put Yu Yi in prison,"
It turned out that when Yuan Shao heard the report from that person at the beginning, he had great hopes that Yuyi could retreat with his whole body. When he saw Yuyi himself, he saw that he was full of energy, and even hoped that Yuyi would defeat the Han army, but he didn't expect it. Hearing that the thirty army is gone, it is like falling directly from heaven to hell, and the mood is extremely bad, where is the right argument.
Several soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed forward and dragged the outrageous Yu Yi out of the general's mansion. The doorman was stunned, and then he realized that as long as he is a defeated army general, he can be dressed no matter how glamorously he is. It's not safe, it was in vain that his expression just now,
Probably to deter the criminals, all the prisons are almost the same, small, dark, and damp. It was the first time that Yu Yi was imprisoned in the prison. Obviously he was a little uncomfortable, and just wanted to discuss with the jailer to change to a larger cell. I heard the jailer say viciously: "Yu Yi, come in here, don't be too savvy, just give you a single room, it's not bad to have annoyed your master, and get you a chase."
What kind of people are these jailers? Don’t look at those officials who are usually above the top, they may fall into their hands one day, especially these defeated generals, who are rarely able to go out after entering the prison. , They are not afraid anymore,
"The one outside is General Yu," Yu Yi still wanted to argue with them, but heard someone in the cell next door say: "It is a great blessing for you and me to live, so why bother with these villains?"
Yu Yi heard that the person who was speaking was Gao Lan. Although he did not have much contact with Gao Lan, and there were even some suspicions between each other, now that they are both fallen people, they cannot help but cherish some sympathy, and could not help but say loudly, "General Gao. The truth is that Yu doesn’t care about these villains and dares to ask General Gao why you were put in prison.”
The jailers snorted, locked the door, and sneered: "The two generals don't worry, if you have something to say slowly, your days here are long."
Yue Yi was about to get angry, but he heard Gao Lan sigh and say: "Hu Luo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, General Ku does not need to get angry, and it is true that he deserves his sins. Gao has something to ask General Yu when he has fallen to this point. , I also ask General Yu to tell the truth,"
Hearing Gao Lan’s words, Yu Yiqiang held down his anger, and said, “I have already arrived in this field, and I know that I can say everything, and I can say it.”
In fact, there is a wall between the two of them. No matter what actions they do, the other party can’t see it. It’s just habit. Before speaking, they will always make some actions subconsciously.
Gao Lan nodded and said, "General Yu, you have fought against the Jingzhou Army now. In your opinion, if our army fights the Jingzhou Army openly, whoever has the better chance of winning,"
To be honest, this defeat made Yu Yi very dissatisfied. He always felt that Yan Liang had made a mistake in his command and had fallen into the enemy’s plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and the other was that the army had run out of food. Otherwise, based on his ability, the Jingzhou Army might not be so. It is easy to break through the camp he set up. Now that he listened to Gao Lan's question, he lowered his head and thought about it seriously. If the two sides really fight in a fair and honest battle, who has the better chance of winning
