Chapter Twenty-Six: Withdrawal of Troops, Yuan Shu's Helplessness

Then Liu He saw Zhong Yan, who was in his twenties, and he looked very good, standing there with a feeling of being in the wind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Liu He immediately got Zhong Yan's ability from the system: "Zhong Yan, an internal affairs talent, 23 in the armed forces, 60 in intelligence, 68 in internal affairs, 56 in charisma, and a third-rate internal affairs talent." ”

Although Zhong Yan's ability is mediocre, Liu He is still very enthusiastic, as soon as he saw Zhong Yan, he stepped forward excitedly, held Zhong Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "But Mr. Zhong's second face?" Hehe, I have heard of the name for a long time, I can see it today, and my long-cherished wish in my life has been fulfilled, I don't hide it, when Xiao Ke and Zu ordered his brother Mr. Yuan Chang to be a minister in the same hall, and serve the son of today, and now he is fighting against the rebel thief and welcoming back the Son of Heaven, but I don't want time to fly by, and it is already a year in the blink of an eye, and I don't know what happened to the Son of Heaven and Mr. Yuan Chang? ”

In the end, Liu He was even more embarrassed, with a melancholy look in his expression.

Zhong Yan didn't expect Liu He to have such a deep relationship with his brother, and his nose was sour, and tears almost flowed, and then he sighed: "Please rest assured, now the brother is safe and sound, but seeing that the Son of Heaven was bullied by Li Dao's traitors, his heart was like a knife, and he wrote a letter to the villain a few days ago, so that the villain could help the king with the strength of the whole family, and be sure to lead the army to Chang'an to welcome back the Son of Heaven. Immediately rushed over, hehe, this is some property donated by the villain family, not a tribute, and I hope to make you smile. ”

Zhong Yan said while handing out a list, Liu He looked at this, and was immediately overjoyed, because it was written that the Yingchuan Zhong family donated 10 million yuan to him, 10,000 catties of grain, 3,000 catties of gold (gold at this time was actually copper), 10,000 catties of iron, 1,000 collars of leather armor, 3,000 pieces of cloth, and 500 war horses.

"Hehe, the Zhong family is really loyal to the country, thank you for the love of the nobles, Mr. Zhong Er, I want to worship you as Hucao of Yingchuan County, I hope Mr. will not resign."

"Thank you Taishou!" Zhong Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, because this Cao was mainly in charge of household registration, taxes, ancestral shrines, agriculture and other affairs, which belonged to the fat poor, and he would never be easily appointed if he was not a person worthy of entrustment.

After that, Liu He ordered a big feast for Zhong Yan, and then began to order the creation of weapons and armor to equip the soldiers.

And the reason why Zhong Yan came to Yangzhai to see Liu He was also entrusted by the county order of Changshe, which saw that Liu He's soldiers were strong and strong, but in his own county, he had to be on guard against thieves at all times, so he had to take refuge under Liu He, and once the thieves came, he hoped that Liu He could assist in defense.

Liu He naturally agreed, and wrote an enthusiastic letter to Zhong Yan in the name of Yingchuan Taishou, encouraging him to govern the people well, as long as he did a good job, he would never treat him badly, and then Changshe Ling donated a large number of materials to pay the army.

Driven by the Changshe Order, other counties also took action and joined Liu He, including Yangcheng, Lunshi, Jiaxian, Fathercheng, and Yingyang.

After the county commanders of these counties returned to Shun, they also offered materials to help Liu He pay the army, and then the Feng clan visited and offered money and silk, gold and iron, horses and other things.

Liu He has been a happy event in the past few days, he has obtained so much food, money and silk, and has rushed to make armor and weapons for the whole army, the morale of the army is high, and the army of more than 10,000 people has also taken shape.

Liu He was happy, but Yuan Shu, who did everything possible to calculate Liu He, was furious, because he had just received the news that the tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves who had been tricked by him to deal with Liu He not only did not achieve victory, but suffered heavy casualties, and the rest also surrendered to Liu He, which made Liu He have an extra 10,000 troops out of thin air.

"The hateful Liu He, a little ant, turned out to be the climate!" After Yuan Shu heard the news, he suddenly drew his sword and cut off a corner of the table, and said loudly: "Pass my order, order Ji Ling to lead an army of 20,000 to conquer Yingchuan, I will definitely cut off the heads of Liu and that kid, and then paint them as drowning weapons......"

At this time, he suddenly heard an urgent report from the sergeant: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Liu Biao sent troops to occupy Kunyang, Wuyang, Yexian and other places, cutting off our army's grain route, and now our army is difficult to transport grain, and Nanyang may be difficult to protect." ”

"What? Liu Biao? This old man is so hateful! Pass my order and order Ji Ling to lead the army to conquer Liu Biao and recapture the grain road......"

Yuan Shu was so angry at this time that he almost vomited blood, and he tried his best to occupy Nanyang, seeing that as long as he occupied Yingchuan again, he would be able to connect with his hometown Runan, but at this critical moment, he was cut off from the grain channel, which is really unbearable, uncle and aunt are unbearable!

But at this time, Yang Hong, the long history, said: "The lord can't, now our army is short of grain and grass, if you calmly retreat, but if you attack Liu Biao, as long as the other side holds on for ten days and a half months, our army is afraid that we will face a crisis of no food, now the main force of our army is in Nanyang, Runan is empty, and there is Liu He in the west, and Cao Cao in the north is eyeing him, once the main force is delayed, not to return, I am afraid that even the base camp can not be kept." Lord, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and listen to the advice of the lower officials, let's retreat quickly. ”

"Hmph, Liu Biao, Liu He, your surname Liu is not a good thing, you wait, I, Yuan Shu, will recover this debt from you sooner or later, and then I will even recover the principal and interest!"

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Pass my order and withdraw the army." ”

Yuan Shu was anxious to retreat, and his heart could be said to be angry and helpless, but Liu He was overjoyed after hearing the news, because he finally got rid of Yuan Shu's heavy burden, as long as he recuperated for a few more months, he could have the strength to send troops to Qinwang, and then he would bring the Son of Heaven to Youzhou to see who else could easily fight there.

It's just that there is one more thing that makes Liu He feel that his heart is not beautiful, Liu He was trapped in Nanyang by Yuan Shu, and the edict of the Son of Heaven asking him to transfer troops to King Qin was taken away by Yuan Shu, and then used to trick his father Liu Yu to transfer troops, Liu He has sent people to hunt down and kill the messenger under Yuan Shu many times, but he has never found the whereabouts of the messenger, he wrote to Liu Yu again, hoping that Liu Yu would not send troops after seeing the messenger, and detained the messenger, but there has been no news until now.

"Alas, although I claim to be the king of Qin by the edict of the Son of Heaven, but there is no real edict in my hand, once someone questions it, I am really in trouble."

Although Liu He is not very afraid of Yuan Shu, he has deep worries about his neighbor to the north, and believes that Cao Cao will definitely let him come up with evidence when the time comes, if he can't get it, he believes that Cao Cao will not mind using this as an excuse to attack himself, he still has a headache for this strong enemy with elite soldiers and top strategists.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Pei Yuanshao walk in and said loudly to Liu He: "Lord, great joy, great joy." ”

"Oh? Don't know where the joy comes from? Liu He was also overjoyed when he heard this, and asked with anticipation.
