Chapter 373: News from Yanzhou
A day later, Zang Hong rushed to Xiapi, and Yuan Shu personally received him, after all, if he wanted to capture Guangling at the lowest cost, Zang Hong was a very key figure, so Yuan Shu also paid enough attention to Zang Hong.
Moreover, Yuan Shu originally wanted Zang Hong and Gao Cang to send troops to Guangling today, but considering that Zang Hong came in the starry night and had been dusty all the way, Yuan Shu finally decided to let Zang Hong rest in Xiapi City for two days, on the one hand, to nourish his spirit, and on the other hand, to let Zang Hong understand the situation in Guangling and even the entire Xuzhou today.
Although Zang Hong governed Guangling very well when he was under Zhang Chao and was also very prestigious among the people of Guangling, after all, several years have passed, and maybe everything has changed.
After Zang Hong came to Xiapi, although he was exempted from the fatigue of traveling in the starry night, Zang Hong was also understanding the current situation in Guangling County, and began to contact his old department.
This time is the first thing Zang Hong has to be responsible for after surrendering to Yuan Shu, and he must do his best in order to get Yuan Shu's attention.
Today's Yuan Shu, not to mention Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Chen Zhong and other old ministers, just say that Zao Yi, Zhao Yan, Du Xian, Fanqin and others will not be inferior to Zang Hong in terms of ability, and with Yuan Shu's current momentum, the talents gathered under him will only be more and not less. Therefore, if Zang Hong wanted to continue to drag on, he could only make Yuan Shu lose interest in him.
Zang Hong naturally chose to work for Yuan Shu, naturally he didn't want to be unknown, and now attacking Guangling is Zang Hong's best opportunity, as long as this matter can be done well, Zang Hong believes that he will definitely be appreciated by Yuan Shu.
This time, Zang Hong and Hu Zhao both came out of the library pavilion, Zang Hong came to Xiapi, and Hu Zhao went south to Wuling County, Jingzhou, to assist Xun Yan in educating Wuximan.
Zang Hong has been in the library for a long time, and he and Hu Zhao know each other very well, so Zang Hong knows that with Hu Zhao's ability, it is not a problem to educate Wuxi Man at all, and once there is an attack on Wuxi Man, whether Hu Zhao is under Yuan Shu or has a foothold in Shilin, it is no longer a problem, and even Hu Zhao can leave a name in history with this.
Hu Zhao was able to meet from this, and Zang Hong, who had been with him for a long time in the Library Pavilion, was naturally very envious, but Zang Hong also knew that this was an encounter that belonged to Hu Zhao, and this kind of thing was to educate Wuximan, although Zang Hong was also confident, but his ability in this area was not as good as Hu Zhao after all, so this matter also fell on Hu Zhao's head.
Zang Hong and Hu Zhao are in the same library and have become friends, but no matter how good they are, they will compare with each other, and now whether it is Hu Zhao, who has gone south to Wuling, or Zang Hong, who is in Xiapi, they all have a comparative mind.
Of course, this kind of comparison does not affect the relationship between Hu Zhao and Zang Hong, on the contrary, it can stimulate their passion and make them devote 12 points of their energy to the affairs they are responsible for.
Two days after Zang Hong came to Xiapi City, he led 10,000 troops to Guangling County with Gao Cang, and in these two days, Zang Hong had already contacted many of his old departments, coupled with Gao Cang's bravery, Zang Hong was full of confidence in attacking Guangling County.
And just as Zang Hong and Gao Cang led 10,000 troops to leave, Yan Xiang suddenly came to Yuan Shu's side with a serious face, holding a silk silk in his hand, and said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, has there been a change in Yanzhou?" ”
"Yanzhou?" Yuan Shu had not yet returned to Xiapi City at this time, and when he heard the news brought by Yan Xiang, a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "What happened in Yanzhou?" ”
Yan Xiang looked around and didn't speak, and Yuan Shu understood what Yan Xiang meant.
There are a lot of people here, and it's not a place to talk.
After Yuan Shu understood Yan Xiang's meaning, he took Yan Xiang and Zhao Yan back to the Xuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, at this moment Ji Ling, Xu Chu and others were all preparing for war, ready to attack Pengcheng County and Donghai County at any time, while Chen Deng and Xun Yue were busy contacting the families of Pengcheng County and Donghai County, striving to help Yuan Shu at a critical moment, so only Zhao Yan could participate in the discussion.
Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, Yan Xiang and Zhao Yan sat down in turn, Yan Xiang handed the silk silk to Yuan Shu, and said: "Lord, General Chen stationed in Yongqiu sent a letter, saying that Lu Bu received the help of Chen Gong, taking advantage of Cao Cao's army not in Yanzhou, the offensive was fierce, and now several counties in Yanzhou, except for the Chen Liuban County occupied by General Chen, which was not poisoned by Lu Bu, most of the rest of the territory was obtained by Lu Bu, according to Lu Bu's offensive, it is estimated that he has occupied eighty percent of Yanzhou at this time. ”
"Lu Bu?" Yuan Shu thought of this world's number one general who had served under him and helped him win Xiangyang City, but he finally left him, and his mood was very complicated.
At that time, after Lu Bu helped Yuan Shu take Xiangyang City, Yuan Shu even had the idea of marrying Yuan Yao and Lu Qiling to marry Lu Bu and tie Lu Bu to his chariot, but unfortunately before things started, Lu Bu rebelled and left Yuzhou with his own soldiers and horses.
Originally, Yuan Shu thought that he would not deal with Lu Bu for a long time, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu was really unstable, and he actually took advantage of Cao Cao's troops to attack Xuzhou and demolished Cao Cao's lair.
Thinking of Cao Cao's face when he learned the news, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Zixuan, how do you think we should deal with the changes in Yanzhou?"
Facing Yuan Shu's gaze, Yan Xiang was not timid, when he got the news, he was thinking about how to use this matter to maximize Yuan Shu's interests, and he already had a plan in his heart at this moment.
"My lord, at this moment, Yanzhou is changing, and it is not us who is most anxious, but"
"Cao Mengde!" Before Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Shu spit out three words from his mouth.
Yan Xiang nodded and said: "That's right, after the death of Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and others, Cao Cao took Yanzhou by solving the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, and has not completely stabilized Yanzhou, at this time Lu Bu gave Cao Cao a heavy blow, if he does not handle it well, it is likely to lose the base camp of Yanzhou, and when the time comes, he will not be able to take Xuzhou, but also lose Yanzhou, Cao Cao can be said to have no place in the world, so if his subordinate is Cao Cao, he will give up Xuzhou at this time and return to Yanzhou." Lord, you think, if Cao Cao returns to Yanzhou, then we can take Pengcheng County without blood. ”
"Zixuan's plan is also wonderful. Someone came, and immediately called Fuyi. ”
Yuan Shu first praised Yan Xiang, and then ordered someone to call Ji Ling to take Pengcheng County without blood, and the most suitable person under Yuan Shu's command at this time was Ji Ling.
