Chapter 208 Xun Yu said Yuan Shu with momentum Yang Hong took the opportunity to make peace

When Xun You heard Yuan Shu's eager words, he knew that this mission was basically successful, and the remaining question was to take Nanyang at what cost!

In fact, the whole Nanyang is still quite important to Liu Bei, although Liu Bei is now wide enough to cover the six states in the northwest, plus Jiaozhou and Yizhou.

But because of this, Liu Bei was besieged in the northwest, Luoyang to the east, and Cao Cao held the Tiger Pass, so Liu Bei could not advance eastward for the time being.

To the south, Yuan Shu held the Wuguan, and Liu Bei needed to spend a lot of money to attack the Wuguan, and the outcome was unpredictable; In the direction of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu refused to defend Hanzhong, and held the various passages into Hanzhong, and the road to Sichuan was more difficult, and Liu Bei did not easily take Hanzhong for a while, so getting out of the customs is the most important step for Liu Bei at the moment.

Therefore, Xun You's envoys are particularly important, and Liu Bei also gave Xun You enough authority to help him take Nanyang!

"Ming Gong, since you have entered the Ming Gong military camp, my lord naturally gave you a perfect strategy to assist Ming Gong! Now, what Ming Gong is worried about is nothing more than that Yangzhou has not been taken, but he has lost the foundation of Nanyang!

In this way, our lord is willing to exchange the jade seal of the country with the Ming Duke for Nanyang and Wuguan, and ensure the supply of grain and grass in Nanyang and the smooth route between Runan and Anfengjin during the Ming Gong's attack on Yangzhou! ”

"Hmph, it's a good idea for Xun Gong to exchange the jade seal of the country for the land of my lord Nanyang, isn't it a little whimsical?

What's more, how do we know that after Liu Duhu obtains Nanyang, he will continue to provide support as agreed? Or will it cut into sections to supply the hearts of the main army of Chaos? Yan Xiang was squeezed out by Xun Yu before, and he held a grudge in his heart, so once he got the opportunity, he said mercilessly this time!

And Yuan Shu didn't say much when he heard this, but watched quietly from the side, and in the same way, Yuan Shu also knew that Xun You's conditions had not yet been finished, so he wanted to rely on Yan Xiang to test it.

Xun You saw that Yuan Shu didn't speak, nor was he angry, but slowly spoke again: "If you say this, you will definitely protect Ming Gong!" Wu Xun is willing to be a hostage in the Ming Gongying, and at the same time make suggestions for the Ming Gong to attack Yangzhou! ”

"Lord, Duke Xun's words are not sincere, Liu Bei is the hero of the world, and his ministers are like clouds, if it is for the whole world, how can he pity a minister?" Yan Xiang continued!

"Oh, then, what does Brother Yan suggest?"

As soon as Xun You's words came out, Yan Xiang did not answer, but Yuan Shu, who was sitting upright on the main seat, said: "After a long time of traveling and driving, Gongda must be tired, so I will rest for the time being, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, he ordered someone to lead Xun You and his party to rest, while Yuan Shu left his strategists to continue to discuss the matter!

"Xun You said earlier that Sun Ce and Liu Biao may attack Nanyang and cut off our army's back road, do you think this is possible?" Yuan Shu asked after seeing Xun You leave!

"Lord, if this battle lord is like a bamboo in Yangzhou, then Sun Ce and Liu Biao will be jealous; But if the lord falls into the quagmire, what Xun Yu said is very likely to happen! Strategist Yang Hong pondered it and said!

"Why should Yang Changshi grow up with others' ambition and destroy his own prestige? The lord led an army of 200,000 and brought a group of generals to attack Yangzhou, where only one prince stood side by side? Xun You's previous words were just alarmist! Yan Xiang was quite unconvinced, and then spoke!

"Even so, the lord has Yangzhou. And Nanyang is in the Central Plains of the four wars, there is Liu Bei in the north, Liu Biao in the south, Sun Ce and Cao Cao in the east, and it does not border Yangzhou, what is the use of staying? Yang Hong fought back!

"Even if he wants to give up Nanyang one day, we can't just cheapen Liu Bei, not to mention that now that the lord has not captured Yangzhou, where can he give Liu Bei the foundation land?" Yan Xiang was not to be outdone!

"Didn't Brother Yan say that the lord's conquest of Yangzhou should be like a bamboo, how can he go back on his word now?" Yang Hong said!

Yuan Shu saw that the two of them had a tendency to intensify, so he opened his mouth to stop: "Now the army will enter Yangzhou in a few days, and it is already a situation where the arrow has to be launched, and Yangzhou is the place that I must take, and when Yangzhou is captured, Nanyang is indeed like chicken ribs." In this regard, it is not indispensable to exchange the jade seal of the country with Liu Bei, but you should think of a foolproof strategy! ”

"Lord, if Yangzhou is captured, Nanyang can indeed be handed over to Liu Bei, but it can't be saved to Liu Bei so simply. The army led by the lord to attack Yangzhou this time are all people from Nanyang, and if he gives up Nanyang in the future, the army will be unstable, so the lord can let Liu Bei send the 200,000 army family gifts into Yangzhou, so that Yangzhou can get less than one million people!

Secondly, the new war in Yangzhou will inevitably lead to a shortage of food, and the lord can transport all the grain and grass in the Nanyang official warehouse into Yangzhou, so that after Liangzhou is pacified, the lord will have no worries about grain and grass in the short term;

Third, I heard that Liu Bei's eldest son is thirteen or fourteen years old, which is the same age as the second lady of the lord, and the lord can be designated as a son and daughter with Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei's eldest son personally go to the main princess army to give a dowry, so that Liu Bei has a proton in the main princess army in the short term, and he is not afraid that Liu Bei will tear up the covenant!

In this way, the lord can be safe! Yang Hong clearly said his three main points! And Yan Xiang on the side was unwilling to hear this, but he also nodded again and again, and then added!

"Yang Changshi is a good strategy, like adding a point, Liu Bei occupies the northwest, and Xianbei, Wusun, Qiang and other nomadic peoples fight all year round, there are many war horses in the army, the lord can ask Liu Bei for 5,000 war horses, so in the field of the conquest of Yangzhou, the lord should be invincible!"

"Well, this is a great good, just follow the idea of the two military divisions, tomorrow's meeting with Xun Yu will have two military divisions, I will lead the army to stay here for a few days, and at the same time send a messenger to Sun Ce, inform Sun Ce, because the sergeant of the army is not adapted, my army will stay in Anfeng for some time, but it will definitely be innocent!" Yuan Shu listened to the suggestions of the two, and was also quite happy, and then ordered!

After that, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong took orders one after another, and early the next morning, Xun You met Yang Hong and Yan Xiang in the partial tent under the guidance of the soldiers!

"Brother Gongda, how about you rest yesterday?" Yan Xiang spoke!

"Everything is fine, I don't know when Yuan Taishou will come? You must know that if you delay for one more day, Yuan Taishou will be dangerous for one more day! Xun You said!

"My lord also knows about this, so last night I discussed this matter overnight until the early morning of this morning, so I went to rest early this morning, and left the two of us to receive Brother Gongda!" Yang Hong opened his mouth and said!

"Oh, then, I wonder what the outcome of your deliberations will be?"

"Don't worry, we want to know, if Nanyang is handed over to Liu Duhu, what should happen to my 200,000 army?" Yang Hong asked!

"Naturally, it's a gift to go abroad!" Xun Yu said without thinking!

"If it is not enough to just send them out of the country as a gift, my lord's intention is to ask Liu Duhu to send these hundreds of thousands of people to Yangzhou under my lordship!" Yang Hong said lightly!

"Yes, I will answer this matter for my master!"

"There are still countless grains and grasses in the Nanyang official warehouse, I don't know what should happen if Liu Duhu obtains Nanyang?" Yan Xiang asked!

"This grain and grass is owned by Yuan Taishou, and it is up to Yuan Taishou to decide how to dispose of it!" Xun You replied!

"Yes, that's good. I heard that Liu Duhu's eldest son is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and my lord has a daughter who is the same age as him, and my lord's intention is to be willing to marry Liu Duhu as a family of children, and there must be Liu Duhu's eldest son personally hired into my lord's army! If Liu Duhu agrees to this, then Nanyang will be exchanged for the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, and my lord will agree! Yan Xiang continued!

"This matter is not something that I can decide, I need to tell my lord with a quick horse! If Yuan Taishou can wait, I will let people go back to Chang'an to report this matter! Xun You said!

"Okay, Brother Gongda will send the news back as soon as possible, the matter in Nanyang is like this, Wuguan and the others still need to discuss it!" Yan Xiang continued!

"What do you mean, isn't Nanyang with Wuguan?" Xun You said slightly angrily!

"Brother Gongda, don't disturb, my lord wants to exchange Wuguan and Liu Du for five thousand war horses!"

"What? Steed? I will report this matter to my lord together, and wait for my lord to decide! Xun You was slightly surprised, but there were not too many different colors.

As for the matter of the war horse, Xun You and Liu Bei had already discussed, so it was not particularly unexpected, what really surprised Xun You was the matter of harmony, let Liu Feng personally go to Yuan Shujun to hire, in fact, Liu Feng was the proton, this matter Xun You was unwilling to do from the bottom of his heart, but this matter was not something he could decide.

After that, Xun You sent more than ten messengers to ride dozens of fast horses to Chang'an and Ningzhou respectively!
