In fact, Pei Qing also knows that the current Yuan Shu troops are actually not a lot, and the total number is estimated to be about 100,000, which is not much worse than the Xiliang Army, but it is indeed a mixed bag, in addition to the elite soldiers of Runan, he also entangled thieves from all over the country, such as Mei Gan, Lei Xu and others, who were originally thieves and had tens of thousands of soldiers, and later surrendered to Yuan Shu, in addition to He Man, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army who was originally entrenched on the border of Runan and Nanyang, because the cottage gradually declined under Pei Qing's attack, In the end, he also led the only thousands of soldiers in the cottage to submit to Yuan Shu.

In addition, Yu Fuluo, the Southern Xiongnu entrenched in Hanoi County, and the trust of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian all formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, on the one hand, to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, to plot against Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

In fact, Yuan Shu had already controlled the entire Yuzhou through Sun Jian, but unfortunately Sun Jian died in battle, and then Pei Qing took advantage of the situation and occupied Yingchuan, Yuan Shu was angry in his heart, but he was suffering from competing with Liu Biao for Nanyang at that time, and he had no time to pay attention to it, and later Nanyang was occupied by Pei Qing, Yuan Shu was furious at that time, and wanted to crusade against Pei Qing and recapture Nanyang and Yingchuan, but he didn't expect Pei Qing to establish an alliance with Liu Biao, which made him jealous, for fear that Liu Biao would take the opportunity to capture his Runan, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

However, even so, Yuan Shu was still recruiting troops, he used his strong appeal in the family in Runan, directly recruited thousands of elite soldiers from Runan, established the most powerful internal guard under his command, and is now gearing up, preparing to completely control and digest the entire Yuzhou except Yingchuan other counties, with the power of the state to forcibly crush, annex Pei Qing's Yingchuan, counterattack Nanyang, and then wave the army north, occupy Chenliu, and then seize the entire Yanzhou.

Yuan Shu also has his own righteousness in seizing Yanzhou, the first few days of the Yanzhou assassin Jin Shang, who was appointed by the imperial court, fled to his army, because he was expelled by Cao Cao, who established himself as the assassin of Yanzhou, Jin Shang asked him to help him seize Yanzhou and restore his position in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu thought that this was a rare opportunity, because he could use this as an excuse to occupy the entire Yanzhou, as for Jin Shang, he helped him to do the position of Yanzhou assassin, of course he had to obey.

"The key to this is to defeat Pei Qing, I really didn't expect this guy to run around the Guanzhong, not only came back alive, but also brought tens of thousands of troops, but so what? With his little army, can he be compared to me? ”

Yuan Shu was in high spirits, he felt that the conditions for crusading against Pei Qing were about to be ripe, he had already managed to contact Liu Biao, and on the condition of ceding Nanyang, he induced Liu Biao to take a wait-and-see attitude, so now he sent the new Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, as long as Tao Qian was willing to send troops to attack Pei Qing, he could not only lose a lot of troops and eliminate Pei Qing more easily, but also further consolidate the alliance with Tao Qian.

But several days have passed, Tao Qian has not moved, I heard that it was Tao Qian's general Zang Ba who tried his best to persuade Tao Qian not to be an enemy of Pei Qing, because Pei Qing was the assassin of Yuzhou appointed by the imperial court.

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard the news, and he was angry and included Tao Qian in the list to deal with in the future, and when he won Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the future, he would be the first to take Tao Qian.

"Hmph, you don't need Tao Gongzu, I can still defeat Pei Qingxiao'er on my own, I would have given you a chance to please me, but you didn't seize it, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude." Yuan Shu's eyes had a cold gaze, he thought for a while, and said to the clerk: "Pass my order, let Que Xuan of Xiapi immediately take action, and bribe Xiapi Xiangrong with a lot of money, so that he will not suppress it, hmph, I will make some trouble for you Tao Gongzu, and also order Ji Ling, order 30,000 people, and join me in crusading against Yingchuan Pei Qing......"

Yuan Shu was not only angry, but also did not care that Tao Qian was ally with him, and immediately ordered to cause some trouble for Tao Qian, and at the same time decided to lead the army to crusade against Pei Qing, recapture Yingchuan, and remove this thorn in the flesh, so as to realize his plan to annex Yanzhou.

However, at this moment, he saw the general, who was also his younger brother Yuan Yin, and said to him: "Brother, something is wrong. ”

"Why are you so flustered? How many times have I said to you, take it easy. Seeing that this subordinate brother was so flustered, Yuan Shu immediately reprimanded him, and when he saw that the other party was babbling and wanted to speak, he asked, "What happened?" Sit down and speak slowly. ”

I saw Yuan Yin say: "It's not that the little brother is panicking, there is really a big thing happening, Yuzhou assassin Shi Pei Qing ......"

"What is the history of Yuzhou thorns? He's overbearing, you know? He is the pseudo Yuzhou assassin history, I will lead the troops to capture him in a battle, hmph, who doesn't know, the current Yuzhou is my territory," Yuan Shu emphasized before he said to Yuan Yin: "Say, how is the pseudo Yuzhou assassin Pei Qing?" ”

"Yes," Yuan Yin lowered his head, but there was a mocking expression on his face, and he thought silently: "It is also said that people are pseudo Yuzhou Thorn History, who doesn't know that this Yuzhou Thorn History was personally awarded by today's son?" On the contrary, you, who are even subordinates of Yuzhou Thorn History, don't take the other party in your eyes at all, even if you just send someone to show goodwill? I really don't know what your brain thinks? ”

However, Yuan Yin could only follow Yuan Shu's words and said: "This pseudo-Yuzhou Assassin Pei Qing took 30,000 troops and personally came to fight for Peiguo, saying that he was going to Qian County to take up the post of Yuzhou Assassin, and it is said that his front part has arrived in Chen State, and he will enter the border of Peiguo in a few days. ”

"What?" After hearing this, Yuan Shu's face suddenly turned purple, and he patted the case and said, "I really didn't expect this Pei Qing to be so bold and take the initiative to provoke me?" In that case, let him learn a lesson, didn't he attack my Peiguo? I will let him fight, pass the order, and order Ji Ling to lead an army of 80,000 to defend Peiguo, and I will personally lead 50,000 soldiers to attack his old nest Yingchuan, Pei Qing led the army to attack Peiguo, Yingchuan must be empty, I can definitely easily break through Yingchuan, and make Pei Qing'er a lost dog! ”

Yuan Shu's face was full of excitement, as if he had already captured Yingchuan and forced Pei Qing to be homeless.

At this time, I saw Yuan Yin whispering: "Brother, don't take it lightly, this Pei Qing can be regarded as a long-time battle, he must know how to be on guard in Yingchuan, when the time comes, if we can't attack Yingchuan and lose Peiguo, then it will really be ......"

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Shu say angrily: "Shut up, the war has not started yet, you actually made such an inauspicious statement, if it weren't for the sake of you being my cousin, I would have cut you, don't talk nonsense, why don't you go and give an order?" ”
