Chapter 29 Determination
"What do you say? Guan Hai sent 100,000 troops to surround Beihai? Yuan Shu, who was still squinting and resting, suddenly burst out and looked at Ji Ling in front of him with a shocked expression.
Ji Ling immediately stepped forward and said, "Back to the lord, but it's like this." This morning, my subordinates received an 800-mile expedited, and the letter was signed by Kong Beihai himself, so I'm afraid it can't be faked. ”
Yuan Shu took Ji Ling's letter and opened it impatiently, his brows became more and more wrinkled as the amount of reading increased.
"Lord, Kong Beihai asked me to wait for the rescue of troops?" Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu's helpless appearance, and still came out and said.
Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang, put down the letter again, and slowly sat down before speaking, "I think that Guan Hai is the biggest force in the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and now that 100,000 troops are sent to surround Beihai, Kong Wenju is invincible, so he can only ask us for help." ”
Seeing Yan Xiang nodding, Yuan Shu continued to ask: "Mr. Yujing is full of wisdom, I don't know what to think of Kong Wenju's request for help?" ”
Yan Xiang stroked his beard, paced a few steps in the hall, and suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped and said: "This time to rescue Kong Beihai, we also need to know whether Kong Beihai is alone to deliver the letter of assistance. ”
"What do you mean, sir?"
Yan Xiang continued: "Actually, you don't need to explain it to your subordinates, and the lord can understand it. Guan Hai surrounded Beihai, Kong Beihai sent a letter asking for help, and the object of the help must not only be our Shouchun family.
Looking at the hinterland of the Central Plains, the people who can rescue Kong Beihai the fastest are Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, and the three main princes.
So when the lord received the rescue letter, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu must have already known the whole story. Thinking that after Kong Beihai is a saint, the reputation gained from this rescue of Beihai will naturally not let go of the two! ”
Listening to Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu's face was even worse, he was naturally not a fool for a prince, so he could also understand the meaning of Yan Xiang's words.
"According to what Mr. Yujing said, this time the northern aid will inevitably confront Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu?"
Yan Xiang nodded, pointed to the map spread on the desk and said: "Beihai is located in Qingzhou, with Yuan Benchu in the north, Cao Mengde in the west, and the lord's forces in the south, but it is just a lonely city. Guan Hai besieged Beihai this time, and it also gave Kong Wenju a chance, if he sent rescue to the three families, the greater purpose was to compare the forces of the three families, so as to choose the next family for himself! ”
Yuan Shu suddenly became interested and looked at Yan Xiang thoughtfully.
"But this rescue is the most unfavorable for the lord." Yan Xiang sketched a few cities and said: "Now that most of Xuzhou has fallen into the palm of Cao Mengde, even if the lord gets Kong Beihai's surrender and takes the Qingzhou lands, it is still divided by Cao Mengde's forces. At that time, if Cao Mengde wants to plot wrong, he only needs to send troops to attack Qingzhou and Jiujiang in two ways, which will definitely make the lord ignore it, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
To be honest, Yuan Shu was still very excited about saving Kong Rong and then recruiting Kong Rong. Kong Rong is a great Confucian and a saint in the world, and his influence in this era is unimaginable.
What is Confucianism? Confucianism is the highest moral point of the feudal dynasty and an important benchmark for measuring filial piety, honesty and loyalty. In the original time and space, Cao Cao didn't dare to get rid of Kong Rong, and he could only use Lu Cui's hand. Therefore, if Yuan Shu can get Kong Rong, it is equivalent to a sharp sword in his hand, and he can label all his actions with a moral label and be morally invincible!
But Yan Xiang's words really made him extremely disappointed, but he had to admit in his heart that Yan Xiang's words were very reasonable, if he took Qingzhou in the current situation, he would be bluffing his own power, and this kind of situation of being divided by others would never have a good ending in history.
Yuan Shu still knew how to make trade-offs, so he slowly asked, "But if we don't send troops, I'm afraid we will fall into disposition." ”
Seeing the distress on Yuan Shu's face, Yan Xiang continued: "Don't worry, my lord, the soldiers will definitely be sent, but we don't need to use our own forces at all, so that if we really encounter Cao Mengde's obstruction, we will minimize the loss!" ”
"Huh?" Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang with some impatience, and he could see that he didn't like Yan Xiang very much, saying that he was half hiding and half hiding.
Seeing Yuan Shu's expression, Yang Hong naturally understood Yuan Shu's thoughts, he was also a strategist when he fell to the ground, Yan Xiang said this, he still didn't know the intention.
"Have you forgotten? The son of Sun Wentai and the son-in-law of Lu Fengxian are still living under the lord's account! ”
Sun Ce and Gao Yun? Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, but Yan Xiang had already preemptively said: "What Yang Changshi said is very true, the lord only needs to send one of them to lead troops to the north to help, and he can block the mouth of the world." If Cao Mengde blocks and defeats, the lord can also shift all the responsibility on them! ”
"Not only that, at present, there are still more than 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers under the lord's command, these people have always disobeyed orders, as long as these soldiers go north together, they can also use Cao Mengde's hand to know the cancer of the military department!"
"Good strategy!" Yuan Shu said loudly: "But I don't know who Gao Yun and Sun Ce should send?" ”
"Gao Yun!"
Almost at the same time, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang said Gao Yun's name in unison, Yang Hong was because of Gao Yun's bribe, and in Yan Xiang's opinion, Gao Yun was more threatening than Sun Ce!
After waving his hand to let Yan Xiang Ji Ling retreat, Yuan Shu continued to rest half-lying on the bed, leaving only his henchman Yang Hong to serve on the side.
Yuan Shu's wind chill has improved somewhat, but because of the cold weather, his body is still very weak, and in late October, he needs to wear a thick jacket and wrap several layers of quilts at home.
Because of his weak body, Yuan Shu often has no taste in his mouth, even if the dishes made by his favorite chef are usually his favorite, he now has no appetite.
It's no wonder that Yuan Shu's mouth is tricky, how can the light cooking technique in the late Eastern Han Dynasty stimulate the sluggish taste of a frail patient?
"Someone, bring it in!"
Yang Hong clapped his hands, and a few beautiful maids walked in, holding a food box containing small cubes with the size of fingernails.
Milky white, Yuan Shu hadn't seen this thing at all, and asked with interest: "Yu Wan (Yang Hong's character), what is this?" ”
Yang Hong said with a smile: "Back to the lord, this is milk glue, fragrant and delicious, the lord can taste it." ”
Yuan Shu took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth in disbelief, and immediately felt that the dull taste instantly reacted, melting in his mouth, the thick milk fragrance, coupled with the taste of gum, made him feel like a spring breeze.
I couldn't wait to taste a few more, and Yang Hong on the side had already spoken: "I don't know what the lord thinks of this thing?" ”
"Maggi! I don't know who did it? ”
Yang Hong said: "This is done by the high school captain, Gao Yun's son is also loyal, knowing that the lord has no appetite in the cold, he took the milk glue, and also told his subordinates that if the lord is willing to move to his house, it will definitely make the lord have a great appetite?" ”
"Gao Yun? What a big breath! Yuan Shu laughed and scolded, and had already opened his mouth to call a few beautiful maids to wait for him to change his clothes...
