"Bang~"
The exquisitely carved table was kicked to the ground by Yuan Shu, during this time, the furniture on Yuan Shu's house was also considered to have fallen blood mold, and every time there was a battle report from the front, Yuan Shu would smash the furniture.
The porcelain in the house has been changed several times, and even the tables and chairs have not been spared.
Yan Xiang and Li Feng stood silently on the side, not daring to speak.
"Lonely general, haha, how many more than 100,000 troops are there now? Who can tell Yu Gu? Carrying the bamboo note in his hand, Yuan Shu's wolf-like eyes swept over everyone's faces, and his voice carried a creepy yin owl.
Yan Xiang and Li Feng didn't dare to speak, and stood aside silently.
This time Zhang Xun was defeated, but even the last trace of luck in Nanyang was lost, and in a short period of time, unless Yuan Shu could completely defeat the imperial court's soldiers and horses, it would be impossible to recover Nanyang.
Don't look at Yuan Shu's ability to mobilize 300,000 soldiers and horses, but his surroundings are unstable, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are eyeing each other, Jiangdong Sun Ce, although he is still under Yuan Shu's command, but basically, he has been out of control, Tao Qian in the east doesn't have to worry too much, how to say it before it was also an alliance state, when Yuan Shu and the imperial court went to war, Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack Xuzhou for the reason of the Yuan Shu alliance, and now they don't know the situation, but with Tao Qian's cowardice, even if the area is wider than Cao Cao, I'm afraid it can't withstand Cao Cao's toss.
Yuan Shu has soldiers, but after this defeat, the surrounding princes are ready to move, he wants to guard against these princes, it is impossible to mobilize too many soldiers and horses to put on the front line of Nanyang, it is a bottomless pit, the more soldiers and horses in the court fight, and Yuan Shu's side, Mo said that if he transfers another 100,000 troops, even if it is 10,000, now he has to guard against the princes of all parties, Yuan Shu can't take it out.
"My lord, for the sake of today's plan, let's make peace with the court first." Yan Xiang sighed, and saw that Yuan Shu's anger had dissipated a little, and said with a wry smile.
"Peace? How? What to say? Yuan Shu suppressed his anger, although he was irritable, but he was not stupid, this time the court didn't even use the name of righteousness, only with 30,000 troops to beat him to the city and lose his land, the generals who were sent at the beginning died, and those who fled, now only Ji Ling is left dragging Lu Bu in the Fenqiu area.
But it is said that it is dragging, Ji Ling has 50,000 troops around him, but Lu Bu is 8,000 cavalry, who is dragging whom? Everyone knows it.
At the beginning, he was clamoring to give the court a good look, and arrogantly forced Ma Riyan to death, but now he was beaten by the court and threw away his armor, licking his face to say peace, not to mention whether the little emperor would agree, where would his Yuan Shu's face hang?
"Lord, the minister thinks it......" Li Feng took a step forward, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "At present, the imperial court may not be willing to enter Jianghuai." ”
"How?" Yuan Shu frowned, listening to this, why is it so harsh?
Oh? My territory, it's not that people can't fight, but they don't want to fight?
Yuan Shu's face was a little ugly, but he still suppressed the anger in his chest, and did not burst out, he is really a little frightened of the court now, 30,000 people have beaten half of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses they have invested in the ravine, and now they are even more beaten and cowered in the ravine and dare not come out.
Although he was annoyed by Zhang Xun's incompetence, Yuan Shu was still very clear about the ability of this general, otherwise he would not have let him alone in Nanyang, and now he was beaten by the imperial army and did not dare to come out in Zhongyang Mountain, and the other armies were almost wiped out except for Ji Ling, and in addition to being angry, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear of the strength accumulated by the imperial court in the past two years.
"Back to the lord." Li Feng pondered for a while, and said carefully: "Now the imperial court is newly set in Nanyang, and when today's son intends to reduce the power in the hands of the family, it has always been a step-by-step strategy, and now Nanyang is determined, internal integration takes time, and the Nanyang family may not be willing to hand over the rights in his hands, if the Son of Heaven insists on attacking Runan, the rear will cause instability, a careless, and may even cut off the way back, not to mention, the surrounding princes are eyeing each other, although they can't deal with the court blatantly, but if they are in the name of thieves, rob their grain routes, The imperial court must also return in vain? ”
"So...... Why make peace with him? Yuan Shu frowned and snorted coldly.
"My lord!" Yan Xiang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This time the court went out to conquer, it is to establish prestige, this campaign, 30,000 troops broke our army more than 100,000 troops, has already established prestige, if the lord is still the enemy of the court at this time, the court does not need to continue to conquest, just a piece of edict, the princes of the world will inevitably rise up and attack it, when Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Tao Qian and even Sun Ce will attack together, our army is no matter how many troops, it will not be able to stop the four princes from attacking." ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he had been defeated by Cao Cao earlier, and the second general of Guan Zhang under Liu Bei was also brave, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Sun Ce? How dare he? ”
Yan Xiang and Li Feng glanced at each other helplessly, why didn't they dare? Now Sun Ce has been equivalent to a self-established portal, Runan is a rich county, if there is a chance to occupy, with Sun Ce's temperament, I am afraid that he will not be left behind, as for the previous situation, since Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal of the country for the army, it does not exist.
Yuan Shu probably thought of this in his heart, and said a little angrily: "Then how to make peace?" Is it difficult to be alone? ”
If that's the case, it's better to die.
Yan Xiang hesitated for a moment and said: "This dispute, although it was caused by Ma Riyan, but in fact, it was because the jade seal of the country was in the hands of the lord. ”
"Hand over the jade seal of the country?" When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but glare: "No! ”
This is what he is going to build a country, and it was finally squeezed out of Sun Ce's hands, and he handed it over like this, how could he be willing?
After thinking for a while, he said: "Why don't you report to the court, send back the coffin of Ma Riyan, and then cede Nanyang, and say how about returning it to the court?" ”
When Yan Xiang and Li Feng heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, Nanyang is now the territory of the imperial court, Zhang Xun was beaten and lost his armor, is it possible to expect the imperial court to return Nanyang after the retreat, that is not the princes, but the imperial court, holding the righteousness, no matter where it is occupied, people are justifiable, why do you still need to let it?
As for Ma Ripan's coffin...... Hehe, even if you don't pay it back, will the court be rare? Or does Yuan Shu dare not even let go of the dead? There is no sincerity at all, how can the court forgive?
"My lord, this matter is about my military morale." Yan Xiang smiled bitterly: "The jade seal of the country is the important weapon of the country, the princes hold it, they will be attacked by the heroes, the lord holds it, not only has no benefit to our army, but will cause trouble, rather than taking it for himself, it is better to take a step back, in exchange for the court's pardon, when the time comes, the lord is still the lord of this Jianghuai, but he can secretly continue to strength, in order to make a comeback." ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he felt a little bored in his heart, and asked him to give away the jade seal of the country that he had finally gotten his hands on, which was really distressing, but if he didn't let it, as the strategist said, I am afraid that there would be a danger of overturning, and the princes would discuss it together.
"Why don't you ......" Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment and then looked at the two: "Send someone to the imperial court to take a look at that little ...... The Son of Heaven will make a final conclusion again? ”
In the final analysis, I am still reluctant to give up this heirloom jade seal.
Yan Xiang and Li Feng glanced at each other, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine, see what the imperial court means, and you can also make another plan." ”
The jade seal of the country must be handed over, and the two know this very well, although the authority of the Son of Heaven is growing, but there is no jade seal in his hands, the princes have enough reason to say that the edict of the Son of Heaven is a false edict, and they refuse to accept the edict, so as the prestige of today's son, the jade seal of the country must be held in their hands.
"I wonder who the lord is going to send?" Yan Xiang asked.
Yuan Shu heard this, pacing back and forth, he is from a big family, and the others can not be cared about, but the etiquette is still exquisite, if the Son of Heaven is as in the past, he is just a small puppet, just send someone to it, but if the son is in charge of the court today, he can't be so hasty, and he must have enough fame and identity to make an envoy, whether it is Yan Xiang or Li Feng, he is not qualified.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and said, "What do you two think, how is Yaoqing?" ”
Yao Qing is Yuan Lian, who has not come to discuss matters for several months since he collided with Yuan Shu that day, and Yuan Shu is also quite uncomfortable looking at Yuan Shu.
Yan Xiang and Li Feng glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts, this lord is really intolerant, but thinking about Yuan Shu's command, it seems that no one is more suitable than Yuan Shu, after thinking for a while, the two nodded and said, "Brother Yaoqing is indeed worthy of this position." ”
"You two will go and tell him that he is lonely and does not want to see him." Yuan Shu leaned back in the chair and said indifferently.
"Whoa." The two smiled bitterly, bowed to Yuan Shu, and left.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Yuan Shu was a little annoyed in his heart, how could a good thing come to this point?
"My lord, General Han Xian asks to see you." As he was sulking, a general came in and bowed.
Han Siam?
Yuan Shu couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, this failure, Han Xian is also one of the main generals, and now Yuan Shu really doesn't treat these defeated generals very well.
"Let him in." After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shu still nodded.
After a while, Han Xian came in with a dusty face, saw Yuan Shu, and hurriedly kowtowed: "See the lord." ”
"You don't stay in the Zhongyang Mountain camp, what are you doing when you come back?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
"The lord ......" Han Xian counted his nose and kowtowed: "That Zhang Xun changed generals in battle and seized the military power of the last general, which led to the defeat of our army, and Xu Chu secretly defected to the imperial court, but Zhang Xun ignored it, and the last general was held accountable, but was ridiculed by Zhang Xun, then the Zhongyang Mountain camp, where is there a place for the last general?" Pray that the Lord will be the last general! ”
"What happened?" When Yuan Shu heard this, Huo Di stood up and shouted, "Tell me about it in detail!" ”
"Whoa!" Han Xian's eyes flashed with a touch of pride, he didn't dare to raise his head, 1510 told the story of the incident, it was basically the same, but he concealed some things, such as the delay of the fighter plane under his leadership, and then because of the bullet work, Liu Xie's calculations, the army was almost dispersed, these are naturally a word, and the focus is on Zhang Xun's defeat, Xu Chu was captured and then suddenly came back.
"Good thief!" After a long time, in the study, Yuan Shu's angry scolding was heard.
