Chapter 134: Xiang Kun's Decision!
What Zhang Ji said is also the top priority now! When the father-in-law was there, in order to avoid being wary of the Kwantung princes, he could only send heavy troops to guard them, and now that the Taishi has passed away, the old and young remnants of the Han Dynasty inside have begun to make waves faintly, and the outside is still eyeing the eastern princes. ”
"It can be said that there are only two ways for us in front of us, that is, to stay here, or to withdraw from Sili and enter Yanmen Pass to occupy Yongliang." At the mourning hall at night, Xiang Kun, Niu Fu, and Li Ru held a meeting of the Big Three in the temple.
"Yongliang Erzhou has been a bitter cold land since ancient times! Don't forget that we have 350,000 soldiers, and we need as much as 300,000 stone grain and grass a year, and such a huge logistical supply can drag down the Yongliang Erzhou alive! Li Ru looked at the map in front of him, and then said with a smile on his face to Xiang Kun in front of him.
"Brother-in-law, you don't know yet, do you? Where Mo Han has already stored an inventory of 10 million stone grains and grass! In addition, a large number of government and civilian farms have also been established. Even our Yongzhou is full of farms! Niu Fu smiled at Li Ru in front of him.
"It seems that Mo Han is more inclined to the second condition!" Li Ru looked at Xiang Kun in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"If I had the chance, I would prefer to go with the first route. Because as soon as my father-in-law left, they must have thought that the three of us would not have unified our opinions so quickly! ”
"You know what? At that time, my father-in-law said two words to us when he was leaving! Li Ru heard Xiang Kun in front of him say this, and couldn't help but stand up, his back to Xiang Kun for a while, and then turned his head, his voice was very low.
"Yongliang! He thinks you'll understand what he means. ”
"It seems that my father-in-law is still not at ease with me! It's also a little uneasy about the situation he operates! After listening to this, Xiang Kun said with a smile on his face to the two confused people in front of him.
"Remember what I just said that if I want to choose, I will choose the first path?" Xiang Kun looked at Niu Fu and Li Ru in front of him and sniffed with a smile.
"The Han world has been poor for a long time, and the majesty of the royal family and the control of the local area have long been gone, but although the local princes have troops and are self-respecting and self-contained, no one dares to take a step out of the thunder pool, even if the people under their rule agree, those old and young people of the Han Dynasty will not agree!"
"So they all want to dress themselves up as respecting the king like Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, and coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes increase their influence for themselves, and the main factor is Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian."
"My father-in-law and I discussed it before his death, I mean to jump out of the siege and seek another opportunity, develop and grow, and have the strength to achieve the feat of Duke Qi Huan and Duke Wen of Jin, as for Emperor Han Xian, he will put a nail next to him and give it up temporarily, waiting for it to be slowly figured out in the future."
But my father-in-law fell into depression at that time, and it was gone. Now the situation is even more urgent, and the separatist forces have begun to grow their wings and ambitions. ”
"For example, Gongsun Zan in the north, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu in Jizhou, Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway in Yuzhou are attacking each other every day, didn't Yuan Shao send his adviser Guo Tu with his handwritten documents to ask me for help?" Xiang Kun took out a letter from his arms and said with a smile to Li Ru in front of him.
"You didn't even open it, how did you know that this was Yuan Benchu's letter for help!" Li Ru looked at the seal in front of him, although it was unharmed, and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"I'm not deaf, and I'm not blind! Although my Zhenbei Army withdrew from Youzhou, the important town of Liaoxi is still in my hands. Gongsun Zhan, who got Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, is attacking Jizhou every day! ”
"I mean take advantage of this opportunity! Slowly withdrew from the division, and I was personally stationed at Bishui Pass. After the Xiliang soldiers all withdrew, I directly led the 20,000 cavalry of Bishui Pass to Jingzhou! ”
"I think when all my troops leave Bishui Pass, they will definitely get the news. At that time, Luoyang and Chang'an will be handed over to those Kwantung princes. Xiang Kun looked at Li Ru and Niu Fu in front of him and said with a smile.
"Good! That's a great plan! Then we will do what the Lord commands! Niu Fu and Li Ru are not fools, looking at the map in combination with what Xiang Kun said, they couldn't help clapping their hands and shouting, and then knelt on the ground with a serious face and called the lord.
"Two brothers-in-law, please get up! My lord's name is all for outsiders, so you still call me Mohan! Looking at the two people in front of him, he couldn't help but smile and said.
"You just said that your troops are going to withdraw to Jingzhou, don't you need to support Jizhou?" Li Ru on the side said to Xiang Kun in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"I don't need it at all! Because someone will save him. Xiang Kun looked at the map in front of him and said with a smile, but his eyes did not leave Yanzhou, and Li Ru and Niu Fu also understood and did not ask much.
"Oh well! So what do you want us to do? Li Ru looked at Xiang Kun in front of him and said with a somewhat respectful smile.
"From now on, the eldest brother-in-law is the governor of the Yongliang United Army, responsible for managing all the military affairs of the Yongliang two states, and the second brother-in-law is also the deputy governor of the Yongliang two states joint army, but I want the second brother-in-law to return to Yongzhou to be responsible for all matters related to the war against Shu." Xiang Kun said with a smile on his face to this Li Ru and Niu Fu in front of him.
"You must know that as long as Shudi, Yizhou and Xuzhou are taken, then we can carry out a series of military strategic encirclements against the Kwantung princes. At the same time, you can also rely on the terrain to enter and defend! Xiang Kun said with a smile on his face as he looked at this Li Ru Niu Fu in front of him.
"We got it! You can rest assured! We, the officers and soldiers of Xiliang, will not disgrace you. Li Ru couldn't help but smile at Xiang Kun in front of him.
"Now I am not only worried about the officers and soldiers of Xiliang, but also worried about my starting troops." Xiang Kun looked at Li Ru and Niu Fu in front of him and said with a wry smile.
"Looks like there's something else to worry about! It's really a one-of-a-kind! Niu Fu on the side looked at the sister-in-law in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
"It's all my fault that I put all my thoughts on the career I worked hard for, and those blessings that are just ancestors don't have to worry about me at all!" Xiang Kun couldn't help but smile as he looked at the map in front of him.
Hejian County, Jizhou,
As the main battlefield of the Youzhou Army and the Jizhou Army, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan personally went into battle.
"Lord Qiqi, Mr. Guo Tu is back!" A soldier of Yuan Shaojun's army said respectfully to Yuan Shao in front of him.
"Please!"
