Yuan's army retreated to the Fengqiu camp.

Since he had decided to give up the fight for the Central Plains, Yuan Shu also quickly sent the sentry cavalry general Liu Xiang to lead his troops to get rid of Yu Ban's attack and retreat.

After the withdrawal of the whole line, the main forces of the Yuan army abandoned the Chenliu land in an orderly manner, retreated to Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, and garrisoned Xu County.

Military government.

Eight feet long, wearing a silver robe on his body, Zhang Xiu, a young man who is about twenty years old, also shows a heroic side.

At this moment, he saw Yuan Shu, who was sitting precariously on his face, his face was full of arrogance, and he asked loudly in a confident tone:

"General Hou, now my elite cavalry has defeated the Cao army for your army, and Yuan Gongzi promised before, and if our army goes out to help each other, your army will be rewarded with money and food."

"Now I hope that the general will cash in."

"Money?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu's face changed color suddenly, and then he looked at Zhang Xiu's arrogant and rude face, without any etiquette, and suddenly he had no good feelings.

Originally, Yuan Shu was extremely disgusted with the people of Xiliang, but now Zhang Xiu seems to have the posture that I am your savior, so it is strange that Yuan Shu is not annoyed.

"What kind of money and food, General Ben doesn't know anything?"

For a while, Yuan Shu replied sharply, without the slightest room for negotiation.

Seeing this, the surrounding staff couldn't help but echo:

"Yes! If you want money and food, Xiliang is worthy of being a barbaric place, there are Dong thieves in the front, and you are all people who have no king's law and do not know how to respect and inferiority. ”

"You can still make a big deal about such a rude person?"

"The thief dares to ......"

Suddenly, Fuzhong fell into a fierce situation, and the two sides showed a tense situation.

Zhang Xiu was already impatient, and he was also in the age of his blood and strength, how could he endure the ridicule of the staff and Yuan Shu's disdain?

Seeing this, Yuan Yao saw that the situation was wrong...... hurriedly stood up to be a peacemaker and comforted everyone:

"Gentlemen, the matter of money and food is what Yao promised Hussar General Zhang Ji, so there is no need to be so ......"

After the words fell, he slowly moved his gaze to Zhang Xiu, with a kind smile on his face, and said with a smile:

"Brother Xiu, since it is Yao's personal promise, he will not break his promise, my father doesn't know the details for a while, and Yao will explain the ins and outs of the matter to his father later, and he will definitely give the money and food at that time."

"I hope that Brother Xiu will wait for two or three days with peace of mind, waiting for our army to raise."

Since Yuan Yao had already made a promise, Zhang Xiu was not too pressing, so he had to retreat sullenly.

After Zhang Xiu left, Yuan Shu turned his head slowly, with an angry look on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Yao'er, what's going on?" ”

In a word.

Yuan Yaosui did not hide it, and explained: "Father, it is not unconditional for the Xiliang army to go out to help each other, because they are already short of food in the army, and now Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan are self-reliant due to the separation and differentiation of their children. ”

"Without Chang'an's supply and subsidy, it would be even worse for their army."

At this point, Yuan Yao swore a few points of swear, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't find out these news, how can the child be sure to persuade the Xiliang Army to leave the customs?" ”

"Yao'er promised how much money to fund after the matter is completed?"

"The military rations are 500 stones, and the wealth can be given some meaning at will...... The Xiliang army was mainly short of food. ”

Yuan Yao said solemnly.

Merely.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he hesitated a little and said:

"Yao'er, the matter of money and food is not a big deal, it's just that the Xiliang thief army is all untrustworthy and ambitious, why do you want to fund them and watch them grow?"

"Haha."

When the words fell, the smile on Yuan Yao's face became more and more intense, and he slowly explained:

"Father, this is naturally for the sake of the overall situation, wouldn't it be beautiful to give up some money and food but bring the Xiliang Army as a help?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our army has now retreated to Yingchuan, and the next step is to clear the wilderness of the wall, step by step to retreat to Yangzhou, based on Runan and Huainan, and once the Central Plains states lose the strong strength of our army to deter, then Cao Cao will inevitably develop rapidly in an all-round way."

"And if our army leads a strong reinforcement to peep at the western border of Yan and Henan, it will inevitably make Cao Cao sit on pins and needles, stifle his barbaric growth, and avoid developing into an uncontrollable situation."

"If that situation really happens, won't it be that when our army re-invades the Central Plains in the future, the difficulty will become more and more doubled?"

Slowly, Yuan Yao for his father Yuan Shu, and the staff members roughly explained the specific reasons for wanting to attract the Xiliang Army as help.

In fact, Yuan Yao's move was equivalent to supporting Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan with money and food, firmly guarding the hinterland of the Central Plains for their own army and restricting Cao Cao's development.

He is not at all worried about the two of them getting bigger.

Because they were trapped between Cao Cao, Li Guo and other Western Liang troops, they had lost any strength to expand under the attack of two strong enemies.

And they will have no chance to gain a foothold except to rely on their own support.

This is also the essential reason why Yuan Yao wants to divide and divide the generals of Xiliang.

Only in this way can perfect control over them be achieved.

If you want to control it, you naturally have to grasp the lifeblood of the other party.

It just so happened that the lifeblood of Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan and others was the lack of money and food, and if they could give these things to themselves, they could naturally control them safely.

Hearing about Yuan Yao's layout, Yuan Yao was overjoyed, but he also agreed, so he nodded to him with an approving gaze, and then the prime minister asked a person from the side, and said:

"Zishang, Yao'er's strategy, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiang pondered for a while, and then said: "Lord, it is feasible to introduce the Xiliang Army as a strong reinforcement." ”

"Not only that, but our army can also ......"

As he spoke, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Our army should also give the sour dates, Fengqiu, Junyi and other cities in the west to the Xiliang army." ”

"In this way, Zhang Ji and the others will fully border Cao Cao, which will start an endless war, and naturally delay the pace of Cao Cao's development."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Xiang solemnly added: "As for these cities, there is no way to defend them after our army migrates, rather than being recaptured by the Cao army, it is better to give them to the Xiliang army to play a greater role, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Listening to Yuan Yao and Yan Xiang offer each other this strategy, Yuan Shu was in a good mood for a while, and suddenly swept away the haze buried in his heart that was unfavorable to the Jishui War a few days ago.

At this moment, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh: "Haha, there will be this son, what more can the husband ask for?" ”

A few months ago, Yuan Shu was as disgusted as he was with Yuan Yao, who frequently opposed his efforts to conquer the Central Plains......

But now it's so good......

He was delighted that Yuan Yao frequently surprised him and frequently brought decisive victories to the overall situation.

This is his son of Yuan Shu.

In the future, it is also the hope of continuing the supreme honor of the Yuan family.

As for Yuan Shao's concubine, how far is it, how far can he go, his humble status, and he still wants to inherit the family business?
