Chapter 1217: Drag Yuan Shu into the water

For Li Mi, surrendering Liu Miao was a helpless choice.

Although Li Mi wanted to take refuge with Qin Hao, considering that Qin Hao and Daming were having a close relationship at this time, he was afraid that Qin Hao would sell him to Daming in order to make friends with Daming.

In addition, taking refuge in Qin Hao means completely giving up his ambitions, but Li Mi is not willing to be just a submissive minister.

As Li Mi's Yellow Turban's subordinates, Li Zicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not take him in, and Cao Cao and Tao Qian are difficult to protect themselves, so the four families in Yanzhou and Xuzhou can also be directly excluded.

After this rule out, among the forces around Li Mi, only Liu Miao was the only one he could take refuge in.

Liu Miao is having a headache because of Sun Jian at this time, and if Li Mi takes refuge at this time, even if Liu Miao will be jealous of Li Mi, but in order to fight against Sun Jian, he will definitely treat Li Mi well!

After Li Mi led the remnants of the army to leave Yuzhou, Yuan Shu occupied the entire Yuzhou except for Yingchuan County, although he did not complete the unification of a state, but it was also a prince who occupied the most complete land of a state except for Hong Xiuquan and Qin Hao.

Yuan Shu also wanted to send troops to recapture Yingchuan from Cao Cao, but Yan Xiang offered a plan and was not in a hurry to recapture Yanzhou for the time being.

After listening to Yan Xiang's advice, Yuan Shu also realized that Cao Cao was still needed to confront Li Zicheng, and once he sent troops to take away Yingchuan at this time, Cao Cao would probably not be Li Zicheng's opponent under the enemy's back, and he would also directly face Li Zicheng's threat at that time.

In order to let the two sides continue to consume each other like this, Yuan Shu decided to take away the land of Jianghuai from Liu Miao first, and then recapture Yingchuan after he unified Yangzhou, and then unified the Central Plains.

The reason why Yuan Shu chose Liu Miao as his opponent was naturally among the forces around Yuan Shu, and Liu Miao was undoubtedly the softest soft persimmon.

Now Yuan Shu is surrounded by the four forces, Qin Hao in the east, Cao Cao in the north, Zhu Yuanzhang in the west, and Liu Miao in the south, Qin Hao is undoubtedly the strongest among the four forces.

Qin Hao's forces spanned the two states of Jingsi, and now although most of the main forces have been mobilized to the Hetao of Bingzhou, they have also left sufficient troops in Jingbei and Sizhou, and the power in Yuan Shu's hands cannot be swallowed at all.

Cao Cao in the north is a barrier for Yuan Shu, who can help Yuan Shu resist Li Zicheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the west, with a strong record, and Xuzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend, taking Xuzhou at this time will only divide Yuan Shu's troops, and generally speaking, it will do more harm than good.

So after calculating it, the only forces that can be annexed by Yuan Shu and can be swallowed are Liu Xuan's family.

Just when Yuan Shu was about to send troops to attack Liu Xuan, the arrival of a person made Yuan Shu change his attention, and this person was Wang Mang.

After Wang Mang integrated the stragglers of the Zhang and Chen families in Jizhou, he handed over this force that did not belong to him to Chen Qingzhi at all, and then he took Juwuba south to Yuzhou to meet Yuan Shu, he wanted to persuade Yuan Shu to change his mind and send troops to take Sizhou from Qin Hao.

The battle between Qin Jin and Yuan Meng to block the national fortune in the Hetao, in the eyes of all the princes in the world, I am afraid that Qin and Jin are still at a disadvantage.

Although Qin Jin claims to have an army of 500,000, it is an indisputable fact that 200,000 of them are soldiers and civilians, so in fact, there are only 300,000 troops, and it is naturally extremely difficult to win the 400,000 yuan Mengtieqi.

In the eyes of the princes, Qin Jin was at a disadvantage, but in Wang Mang's eyes, this battle between Qin and Jin, no, it was Qin Hao who won.

In Wang Mang's view, no matter how good Temujin was at fighting, from the time Qin Hao arrived at the Hetao, this battle could not be viewed by common sense.

When Wang Mang was still in Hanoi, he was smashed out of the shadow by a meteorite from Qin Hao, and if Qin Hao, the hanging B, summoned a few meteorites in the battle, it would be useless for Temujin to come as many soldiers and horses.

Wang Mang guessed that Qin Hao would never summon meteorites so frequently, otherwise there would be no need for soldiers and horses when encountering the enemy, as long as he could use meteorites to smash them, but even if Qin Hao's insoluble factor was removed, Wang Mang was still not optimistic about Temujin.

The lineup of generals of the Qin and Jin armies can also be called incomprehensible, Bai Qi, Li Jing, Wang Meng, Jiang Song, Ran Min, Gao Chong, Yuwen Chengdu, Jia Fu...... With so many top commanders and fierce generals, Temujin's military advantage is not too big, and it is only if he can win the combination of the two armies of Qin and Jin.

I have to say that Wang Mang may be the most sober person now, even Qin Hao doesn't think he can be stable, but he dares to say that Qin Hao will definitely win against Temujin, and there are few people in the world who have this vision.

Wang Mang guessed that after Qin Hao won, under the general trend, the princes of Hebei will be unstoppable, and once Qin Hao is allowed to unify Hebei, he will have the capital to dominate the world, so of course he has to do something to slow down Qin Hao's pace.

Although there are many forces bordering Qin Hao, Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Yuan Shu, Huang Zu, and Liu Xiu...... But there are few that can pose a threat to Qin Hao.

What's more, this is the critical period of alien invasion, and few people dare to send troops to deal with Qin Hao, and Wang Mang can only think of one after thinking about it, and that is Yuan Shu.

First of all, Yuan Shu had just driven Li Mi away, and it was the time when he had the most fresh troops, and only he could draw enough troops to deal with Qin Hao.

Secondly, Yuan Shu's sphere of influence is next to Qin Hao, and if Qin Hao continues to grow, he will be the most threatened.

Third, Yuan Shu definitely wanted to swallow Qin Hao's Jingbei and Sizhou, and the temptation of this benefit would definitely make Yuan Shu's heart move.

In the end, there has been a long-standing grudge between Yuan Shu and Qin Hao, whether it is public or private, Yuan Shu has a reason to send troops.

To sum up the above four points, Wang Mang decided to drag Yuan Shu into the water, and then he embarked on the road to Yuzhou to lobby Yuan Shu.

After learning that Wang Mang asked to see him, Yuan Shu was overjoyed.

Wang Mang stirred up the storm in Sizhou with his own strength, which also made him a world-famous resourceful man, although most of them were infamous, but princes like Yuan Shu would definitely not care.

"Mr. Wang Mang, Mr. Shujiuwen's name, I really deserved my reputation when I saw it today."

As soon as he saw Wang Mang, Yuan Shu stepped forward to ask for warmth, looking extremely enthusiastic and polite.

Wang Mang looked at Yuan Shu back and forth, and it was really difficult to combine the extremely shrewd person in front of him with the short-sighted Yuan Shu in the romance.

"You really can't believe all the romance." Wang Mang said secretly in his heart.

However, the more shrewd Yuan Shu is, the better, because only then will he realize how big the threat of Qin Hao is, and Wang Mang will have the possibility of convincing him to attack Sizhou.

"I don't know what Mr. Wang Mang is doing here at this time?" Yuan Shu said with a smile.

"No ......"

Wang Mang showed an extremely humble expression, but said an extremely arrogant sentence.

"Just to save the life of the prince."
