Chapter 429: A Soldier Who Surrenders Without a Fight
"You should know that I don't care about more than 10,000 reinforcements at all, unless you can get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to deal with me at one time. But in this case, you must be careful not to be taken advantage of by the imperial court. ”
"Now you can't say that you are a person with the court, the things you did with Yuan Shao and others have been set as a thorn in the flesh by the court, most likely in the eyes of the court, you are already a thief like me."
Liu Zheng began to slowly talk about Yuan Shu's current situation.
"Yes, anti-thief, I want to come to me now, and my identity is the same as you, since everyone is also a thief, why do you want to be my Tao, why don't you join forces with me to annex this Lujiang River, how about you and I share half of each?"
Yuan Shu still has a lot of fear of Liu Zheng.
"No need, I'm not very interested in Lujiang, at least for the time being, I don't want to occupy Lujiang, I'm here to give General Yuan Shu you, a suggestion."
"What's the opinion?"
Yuan Shu's words, Liu Zheng did not agree, Yuan Shu wanted to be angry and scolded Liu Zheng for not knowing how to lift, but when he heard Liu Zheng say that he had something to say, Yuan Shu still asked.
"Retire, Lujiang is not a good choice for you, I can tell you a more interesting place."
"Where?"
"You are really stupid, there is a Huainan who doesn't fight, but what Lujiang is fighting, instead of losing troops in Lujiang, you should go directly to defeat Huainan and destroy Liu Xuan, as long as Liu Xuan dies, isn't the entire Yangzhou County all yours?"
Liu Zheng said loudly at Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was slightly startled after hearing Liu Zheng's words, but soon laughed loudly at Liu Zheng.
"Liu Zheng, I thought you had any good suggestions, it turned out that you were just instigating me to attack Liu Xuan, you think that only you want to attack Liu Xuan, in fact, I have long wanted to fight Liu Xuan, but fighting Lujiang is just a temptation, and when I defeat Lujiang, the next target will naturally be Liu Xuan's Huainan."
"If I go directly to fight Huainan, and then there are soldiers and horses on the side of Lujiang to assist Huainan, or instead of assisting Huainan, but instead of going around and cutting off my retreat, then I am not in danger, so Lujiang is definitely going to fight, only by defeating Lujiang and occupying this place, can I attack Huainan with peace of mind."
Yuan Shu was also unambiguous, and directly told Liu Zheng what he thought in his heart, and by the way, he also mocked Liu Zheng a few words, saying that Liu Zheng's suggestion was useless at all.
When Liu Zheng heard this, he glanced at Yuan Shugao a few times, and Yuan Shu in history was afraid that he would also seize the opportunity to quickly grow his own.
Some minds can also have luck, but unfortunately, the ambition is too great, and the ability cannot support his ambition.
"Yuan Shu, it turns out that you are not stupid, but you are a little timid."
"There is only one Lujiang, there are only four or five thousand soldiers and horses, and the turtle is shrinking in the Lujiang River, and there are not enough soldiers and horses to defend the Lujiang River, how can he send men and horses to cut off your back road, but you, in the battle of Lujiang, not to mention the loss of soldiers, have already scared the grass and given Liu Xuan a chance to breathe."
"If you find Huainan early in the morning and lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Huainan, I'm afraid that Liu Miao will already be your prisoner now."
Liu Zheng didn't have a good impression of Liu Xiang at all, this was mainly because Liu Xiang was the guy, who sent Zhang Ying to deal with Liu Zheng at the beginning, so that Liu Zheng put Liu Xiang in his enemy position at the beginning, so no matter what time it was, he could make him stumble, so he tried his best to make stumbling.
From Yan Baihu's troubles, to now lobbying Yuan Shu to attack Liu Xuan, Liu Zheng spared no effort to match.
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Yuan Shu fell into deep thought, in fact, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's appearance, it would be normal for Yuan Shu to do this.
Because of raising 30,000 troops to attack Lujiang, most of the Lujiang will not be able to keep it, and in a few months, the soldiers and horses of Lujiang will be defeated and retreated.
Moreover, Liu Miao had just experienced the rout of the battle with Liu Zheng, and it was when he was weak, and Yan Baihu had been making trouble in Huiji County, constantly harassing Liu Xuan, so that Liu Xuan had to divide his troops to garrison.
There will not be too many soldiers and horses in Huainan, and when Yuan Shu defeated the Lujiang River, taking advantage of the morale of victory, he attacked Huainan in one fell swoop, and he was very sure that he could defeat Liu Xuan, and then occupy Liu Xuan's original territory.
At that time, Yuan Shu will really be able to sit on most of Yangzhou and half of Yuzhou as in history.
It's a pity that there is such a variable as Liu Zheng, which makes Yuan Shu's plan to occupy Lujiang run aground.
However, now according to Liu Zheng's plan, it is not a bad thing to attack Huainan directly, after all, Liu Xuan, who is in Huainan, should not have too many soldiers and horses at this time.
If Liu Miao had soldiers and horses, he would not have gone to Lu Kang to ask for help, and turned a blind eye.
"Brother Highway, since you and I are both thieves, I naturally won't lie to you, if you continue to stay here, there will always be conflicts between you and me, and there will inevitably be battles, although I am temporarily short of troops and can't do anything with you, but when my army arrives, do you think you still have a chance?"
"If you withdraw your troops now, it will also give me a face, this favor, I will write it down, at the same time, you go to deal with Liu Xuan, I can also help you contain it, so that Liu Xuan can't find reinforcements, when the time comes, you and I will divide Yangzhou, isn't it more attractive than this Lujiang County?"
Liu Zheng said what he wanted to say the most, as long as Yuan Shu attacked Huainan and contained Liu Xuan, then Liu Zheng would have enough time and energy to sweep Yuzhang County.
When the time comes, Yuan Shu will defeat Huainan and Liu Zheng will defeat Yuzhang, and everyone will benefit.
As long as Yuzhang County can be defeated, Liu Zheng will go to Poyang County more, and most of the map of Yangzhou will be able to be smoothly connected to Jiaozhou, and Liu Zheng's strength can be further expanded.
Don't underestimate the two places of Yuzhang County and Poyang County, the area is so large, it is more than half of Jiaozhou, and the population is also very large, although most of them are Shanyue people, but Liu Zheng only needs to conquer them all, and he can get more than one million people, which is more than all the population of Jiaozhou now.
Yuan Shu was said by Liu Zheng, but he also had some heart, and now the fact is that this is the case, if he continues to stay here, he will naturally not take any advantage, not to mention, he will also have a bad relationship with Liu Zheng, and listen to Liu Zheng's persuasion to attack Huainan.
What Yuan Shu wanted at the beginning can also be realized, and Liu Zheng's friendship can also be achieved.
On the line of being a thief in the imperial court, if Yuan Shu can cooperate with Liu Zheng, it will indeed be a little convenient for him.
