Chapter 1486: This is my sister-in-law

With 80,000 Ming troops and 40,000 Yu troops, the strength in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands is enough to hold the land of Lianghuai.

In the face of the 120,000 Ming army, with the strength of Zhao Kuangyin's family alone, even if all the Yu troops in Yuzhou were dispatched, it was still not enough to take food from the tiger's mouth.

At this point, even if Zhao Kuangyin is reluctant, he can only accept this result for the time being, after all, it is just a waste of money and food to continue to stay.

But just gave up the Jianghuai granary, Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't swallow this bad breath, so he ostensibly withdrew his troops and returned to Yuzhou, but secretly he was actively contacting Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Sun Jian in Jiangdong to see if he could form a coalition of princes to jointly crusade against Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this point, the battle for Jianghuai has come to an end for the time being, and Zhu Yuanzhang has become the biggest winner of this battle.

After this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang not only occupied the two Huai granaries, but also incorporated 40,000 Yu troops, as if he had become the most powerful prince in the Central Plains.

As for Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao, in this battle, they both reaped more or less benefits.

For Zhao Kuangyin, Lian Po was the biggest gain of his trip, and he also incorporated 10,000 Yu troops.

Cao Cao's harvest was relatively small, only three or four thousand Yu troops were collected, of course, Cao Cao didn't care about this, after all, he didn't have much ambition for Lianghuai, and he didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to occupy Jianghuai when he sent troops to help Yuan Shu.

In the case that Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin both helped Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was still easily destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it can only be said that Yuan Shu died in heaven.

With the defeat of Yuan Shu, the Central Plains region also competed for power from all directions and entered a three-legged situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Mengde, and Zhao Kuangyin respectively occupied the three corners of the Central Plains, among which Zhu Yuanzhang's comprehensive strength was the strongest, and this naturally caused Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao to have the same hatred.

Zhao Kuangyin's idea of joining forces to defeat Ming is not wrong, after all, with Zhu Yuanzhang's current threat level, Wei and Song are already bound to join the Ming Dynasty, and whether Sun Wu of Jiangdong will also join in depends on how much benefit the Song and Wei families are willing to share.

However, at the critical moment of this joint discussion, Zhao Kuangyin, who is as wise as Zhao Kuangyin, also did something stupid.

Zhao Kuangyin knows how powerful Lian Po is, thinking that he was almost forced to death by Lian Po at the beginning, but now that Lian Po is under his hands, he naturally wants to make full use of Lian Po's talents.

Zhao Kuangyin also knew that although Lian Po had taken refuge in himself, he was actually reluctant in his heart, and he would choose himself because there was no one to vote for.

At the beginning, his conspiracy against Lian Po had already made Lian Po have a problem with himself, so if Zhao Kuangyin wants to completely subdue Lian Po, he must resolve the resentment in Lian Po's heart.

Zhao Kuangyin gave Lian Po a very high reward, and all kinds of treasures were constantly rewarded, and there was a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days.

Under Zhao Kuangyin's series of favors, it did make Lian Po have a lot of changes in his opinion, and if he continues to do so, it will only be a matter of time before Lian Po completely returns to his heart.

But at this time, Zhao Kuangyin did the same stupid thing as Cao Cao, that is, he slept with Yuan Shu's widow, Yuan Yao's mother, Feng.

At the beginning, Cao Cao completely offended Li Yan and Li Guo because of his strong acceptance of Gao Lanying and the Red Lady, forcing the two to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Cao Cao regret it afterwards.

Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao's situation is a little different, he and Yuan Shu met Mrs. Feng many years ago, and fell in love with Mrs. Feng at first sight.

Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to pursue Mrs. Feng, but before he could act, Yuan Shu relied on the power to strengthen Mrs. Feng, and Zhao Kuangyin later married Yuan Shu's sister, and Mrs. Feng became his sister-in-law.

The marriage between Zhao Kuangyin and the daughter of the Yuan family is just a family marriage, and his favorite person in his heart has always been Mrs. Feng.

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin and Mrs. Yuan have been married for many years, and they have long lost any passion, touching her body is like touching myself, and now the former dream lover is in front of me, which makes Zhao Kuangyin how can he bear it.

Zhao Pu saw that Mrs. Feng was also in the Yuan family, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and reminded Zhao Kuangyin many times in private, asking him not to have a long relationship with children, and everything was important.

Zhao Kuangyin naturally understood what Zhao Pu meant, and vigorously guaranteed this sister-in-law. But he said one thing on his lips, but another set behind his back.

Zhao Kuangyin did not suppress his jade hope, and one day he was drunk, so he ignored Mrs. Feng's wishes and forcibly made fun with him with the strength of wine, but was discovered by Yuan Yao.

The Yuan family had great kindness to Zhao Kuangyin, but he betrayed the Yuan family with malicious intentions, which made Yuan Yao already hate Zhao Kuangyin, and now even his biological mother was insulted, which made Yuan Yao want to swallow Zhao Kuangyin alive.

The grief-stricken Yuan Yao directly drew his sword and wanted to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin was born in the military after all, although he was unarmed, but he was not a son like Yuan Yao who could kill him.

After a struggle, Zhao Kuangyin was not damaged, but Yuan Yao was beaten and had no power to fight back, but this matter also made a big deal and reached Lian Po's ears, and Zhao Kuangyin fortunately accepted Mrs. Feng.

Lian Pocai had a changed view of Zhao Kuangyin, but this kind of thing happened so soon, and he was naturally disappointed in Zhao Kuangyin in his heart.

At this moment, Yuan Shao in the north sent Yuan Tiangang to contact him, expressing his willingness to take in and shelter the remnants of Lian Po, as well as his younger brother's family.

In fact, for Lian Po, Yuan Shao is the best choice, after all, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu's elder brother and a member of the Yuan family, and taking refuge in him is not considered an apostasy.

But Lian Po didn't even think about Yuan Shao from the beginning, just because the others were in Yuzhou, thousands of miles away from Jizhou, if it was only Lian Po alone, it would be easy to say, but he had a large group of people, and it was impossible to bring them over.

But Yuan Tiangang told Lian Po that as long as he was willing to go to Jizhou, the princes along the way would have Yuan Shao to deal with, and Cao Cao had agreed to let him borrow it.

Hearing Yuan Tiangang say this, Lian Po was also a little moved, Zhao Kuangyin, who was stunned, was really disappointed by him, but he did not easily turn his back on Zhao Kuangyin because of this, after all, it was not easy to leave, and the person who really made Lian Po decide to leave was Yuan Shoucheng.

Yuan Shoucheng is the guardian of the Yuan family, a master at the level of a great grandmaster, when Yuan Shu plotted to rebel, Yuan Shoucheng had intended to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, but was seriously injured by Luo Shixin.

Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tiangang to win over Lian Po, in fact, he also won over Yuan Shoucheng, if he was willing to take refuge, most of Yuan Shu's subordinates naturally had no objections, and Yuan Shao would also become the new head of the Yuan family.

In the end, under the persuasion of everyone under his command and the cry of the young master Yuan Yao, Lian Po took Yuan Yao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu, Yuan Yin, Yuan Shoucheng and other members of the Yuan family, as well as Ji Ling and most of the high-level leaders of the Yu army and their families, secretly left Yuzhou and prepared to go north to join Yuan Shao.
