Chapter 1497: Soldier Wei Yi

Jizhou, Bohai Sea

At this time, Yuan Shao was taking his subordinates and ministers out of the city for five miles, but he was only to welcome one person, and he was Lian Po, who came thousands of miles to defect.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu have been entangled in Jizhou for many years, and they occupy an absolute advantage with the general trend, but they have been repeatedly defeated by Han Xin on the battlefield.

Yuan Shao also knew that the civil and military forces under his command were not only not weaker than Han Fu's subordinates, but much stronger, but they lacked a top commander to sit in charge, so they would always be defeated by Han Xin.

Yuan Shao's command really didn't have a commander who could match Han Xin, and in desperation, he chose to go off the rails with his sword and sent a killer to assassinate Han Xin.

Yuan Shao sent out most of the masters under his command, and was led by the most trusted Yuan Tiangang, but when Yuan Tiangang infiltrated Yecheng, he was warned by Han Xin's master, the soldier Wei Yizi.

Although the sense of existence of the soldiers is not high, the cohesion within the soldiers is not high, and the organization is extremely loose, it does not mean that the strength of the soldiers is weak.

Yuan Shao also knew that Han Xin was Wei Xin's disciple, of course he was not a person who did not know the importance of the matter, since the soldiers had already intervened, this proved that Han Xin was also covered by someone behind him.

If he forcibly assassinated Han Xin and broke the tacit understanding created by the Hundred Schools, he would naturally completely offend the entire Hundred Schools, and the situation faced by Zhao Guo would probably be even worse, so Yuan Shao asked Yuan Tiangang to give up the task of assassinating Han Xin.

Seeing that he couldn't win against Han Xin and couldn't be killed by assassination, Yuan Shao had no choice but to visit the virtuous and ask for a commander, hoping to find a general who could match him.

It's just that the commander of an army is different from ordinary talents, because all commanders with some ability are constantly tempered on the battlefield, and the prestige that is played out little by little is destined to become a famous general on paper, so few real famous commanders will be hidden in the people.

Yuan Shao's journey to seek generals naturally failed, but Han Xin, who used soldiers like a god, was like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't unify Jizhou without solving it, and at this time, Lian Po entered Yuan Shao's eyes.

The younger brother Yuan Shu was defeated and died, and the entire Yu army completely disappeared, and Yuan Shao, as the elder brother, was also a little sad in his heart, after all, Yuan Shu was his own brother.

Of course, Yuan Shao complained more in his heart, complaining that his younger brother Yuan Shu obviously had a good hand, and in the case of the Yuan family's most of the resources at the beginning, the result not only did not get out of the way, but he lost all the family resources, so it was better to use these resources to support his strategy in Jizhou.

Although Yuan Shu died, the ownership of his subordinates had not yet been determined, and Yuan Shao's most coveted person was naturally Lian Po, who was known as the first general of the Yuan family.

Lian Po was not recruited by Yuan Shu, but was cultivated by the Yuan family little by little, but Yuan Shu was his son-in-law, so Lian Po deserved to serve Yuan Shu.

In Yuan Shao's view, Lian Po is no worse than Han Xin, if there is Lian Po to deal with Han Xin, he does not seek to defeat him, he only needs to contain him, and Yuan Shao also has the certainty of destroying Han Fu.

The younger brother Yuan has the assistance of famous generals such as Lian Po, and under the repeated victories in the Central Plains, not only did he not dominate the Central Plains, but the territory became smaller and smaller, until he was finally eliminated, which can be described as incompetent to the extreme.

Yuan Shao is confident that he is much stronger than Yuan Shu, and as soon as Yuan Shu dies, the Yuan family will naturally be his, and if he gets Lian Po, not to mention being the king and hegemon, he will not fall into the fate of his younger brother.

"Yuan Men's criminal minister Lian Po, see Zhao Gong."

"Little nephew Yuan Yao, meet your uncle."

After seeing Yuan Shao, Lian Po and Yuan Yao hurriedly saluted, while Yuan Shao supported him, and said: "Virtuous nephew, General Lian Po, please hurry up, the general has worked hard and made great achievements, what is the crime." ”

Lian Po and Yuan Yao glanced at each other, and they were slightly relieved in their hearts, and Yuan Shao's attitude made them feel a lot more at ease.

On the way back to the city, Yuan Shao had all kinds of problems in Lianpo, and the two were also quietly brought closer.

"General Lian Po, if you lead the army, I wonder how sure the general is that he can defeat Han Xin?" Yuan Shao asked with a serious face.

Lian Po didn't arrogantly say anything like victory, but after thinking carefully for a while, he replied: "The last general has actually studied Han Xin, this person has no rules in the use of troops, he can win the battle if he has the conditions, and he can also win the battle if he has the conditions to create the conditions."

If it is against Han Xin, to be honest, the last general is not sure of victory, but the last general is sure that he will not be defeated by him. ”

Lian Po is undoubtedly a proud person, and even he admires Han Xin so much without fighting, which shows how powerful Han Xin is.

Yuan Shao heard Lian Po say this, not only was he not disappointed, but he was also very satisfied, he had been defeated by Han Xin so many times, he naturally knew how terrible Han Xin was, Lian Po was sure that Han Xin was undefeated, which was already quite powerful in Yuan Shao's opinion.

"Okay, with the general's words, my father will be relieved."

Yuan Shao laughed, and then ordered: "Lian Po, this prince has ordered you to be the governor of my Zhao State, I don't know if you dare to take on this important task?" ”

Lian Po couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he had just signed to take refuge, and before he could make an inch, Yuan Shao asked him to serve as the governor of the capital, which could not be described as trust.

"Zhao, no, my lord, Lian Po is commanded."

Lian Po said with great emotion, and the title of Yuan Shao has also changed from Zhao Gong to Lord Gong.

"Okay."

Yuan Shao laughed again, with Lian Po's help, his plan to deal with Han Fu was naturally more certain.

"Report ...... The lord of Qiqi, Taihang sent important information, and Emperor Ming agreed to King Qin's courtship. ”

"What?"

Yuan Shao's eyes widened in disbelief: "How is this possible?" Zhang Sheng, that woman is crazy? ”

Regarding Qin Hao's request to marry Emperor Ming, basically all the princes thought that this was Qin Hao's strategy, and they didn't believe that Qin Hao dared to marry Emperor Ming, nor did they believe that Emperor Ming would agree to marry Qin Hao, so they basically waited for the rest of the story with a mentality of watching a play.

"However, Emperor Ming put forward a condition, asking King Qin to personally go to Taihang to ask for relatives before agreeing to marry."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, if Qin Ming really married, Huguan would naturally fall into Qin Hao's hands, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops would be able to enter Jizhou at any time, and his Zhao State would also be exposed to the iron hooves of the Qin army.

"My father just said, Qin Hao's request for relatives is a conspiracy, and Emperor Ming will agree to have a ghost." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"That's right."

Lian Po nodded approvingly: "Emperor Ming seems to have agreed to ask for marriage, but the conditions proposed cannot be completed at all, and it is impossible for King Qin to personally go to Taihang to ask for marriage, unless he is also crazy." ”

At the same time, most of the other princes also received the news, and they naturally thought that Emperor Ming was in trouble for the strongman, and it was impossible for Qin Hao, the king of Qin, to go to Taihang Mountain to ask for relatives in person.
