Chapter 145: Yuan Shu's Dilemma
A ray of sunlight shone into the room, waking up the sleeping Jiang Hong, and he moved, only to find Gu Ying lying quietly in the crook of his arm like a kitten.
But I can't let her sleep like this, although I tossed her hard enough last night, but there are still a lot of troubles to do in the morning.
Jiang Hong scratched Gu Ying's nose and didn't react. Jiang Hong had no choice but to pinch Gu Ying's nose, which made Gu Ying wake up from his sleep.
Looking at Jiang Hong's slightly smiling face, Gu Ying's face turned red again, and she buried her face in Jiang Hong's chest, refusing to get up.
Jiang Hong had no choice but to get out of bed first, rejecting the maid outside the room, Jiang Hong got dressed himself, and after a while, Gu Ying got out of bed slowly.
After working for a long time, he finally made these annoying etiquette almost done, and Jiang Hong finally met the real person in charge of the Gu family, so let's call him Gu Lao for the time being.
Old Gu has a restrained complexion, and it looks like he is no different from other old peasant men, but Jiang Hong doesn't dare to underestimate it, it is this old guy who eats himself to death.
The two talked hypocritically for a while, and Jiang Hong felt as if he had experienced a big battle, and in front of such an old fox, Jiang Hong couldn't help but be imprudent.
But fortunately, Jiang Hong didn't show any flaws, saying that if the flaws were exposed, how would these old guys take advantage of them, to be honest, Jiang Hong was still so curious.
This year is Jiang Hong's most nerve-wracking year, too many things have happened, and he has experienced several ups and downs, which is a little exciting.
In other words, Xu Sheng and Zhuge Jin will not have any accidents, I remember that Li Dao and Guo Yan turned their faces during the Chinese New Year, and this is still the honeymoon period of the two, so there should be no accident. Jiang Hong silently took a sip of milk for the two people who were far away in Sili.
As everyone knows, one person is already lying down, and another person is lying on the way, temporarily let go of Zhuge Jin and Xu Sheng, and talk about Jiang Hong's old enemy Yuan Shu.
Liu Biao finally hardened up, of course he would not be beaten passively anymore, waiting for Yuan Shu's attack, this time, Liu Biao wanted to stab him Yuan Shu's **.
At Cai Mao's suggestion, Liu Biao thought about it for a long time, and still felt that Cai Mao's opinion was feasible and could be tried.
So at the suggestion of Liu Biao, Huang Zu abandoned the ship he relied on for a living, came out of Xiyang, and directly captured Xinxi, approaching Xincai. You must know that behind Xin Cai, there is the governance of Runan County.
This year's Liu Biao opened Yuan Shu's eyes, not only did he steal his hometown Nanyang, but now he actually wanted to attack Runan County.
In the face of Liu Biao's aggressive offensive, Yuan Shu was a little panicked for a while, but fortunately, the education level of the Yuan family was not bad, and Yuan Shu quickly calmed down.
Yuan Shu ordered Qiao Mao to lead 30,000 soldiers back to rescue Xin Cai, and be sure to drive Huang Zu out of Runan County.
But in this way, it will face another problem, divide the troops to save Xin Cai, then the strength of his own front will fall into a shortage, and it is even inferior to Cai Mao in Wancheng.
This can't be done, Yuan Shu rubbed his chin, he originally had an advantage, and he could capture Jingzhou from Nanyang and Jiangxia, and he could attack and retreat and defend.
But he and Jiang Hong of Yangzhou spent a while, and they were involved by Chen Guo Zhou Ang, which led to the loss of Nanyang County, and now there is no doubt that Liu Biao is the stronger party.
With this change, the situation has completely changed, and now Liu Biao can also attack himself from two ways, although he has more than enough to protect himself, but it is not enough to capture Nanyang County again, it is difficult to do.
I have to find some opponents for Liu Biao's guy and disperse his forces, Yuan Shu knocked his head with a headache.
To the west, it is said that Liu Yan is sick in bed and is about to hang up, and Yizhou is not very peaceful, so it is a bit unrealistic to ask Yizhou to send troops.
In the north, there is only the Xiliang Army, but the Kwantung Coalition Army finally drove the Xiliang Army out of the Central Plains.
If you don't know if you have to be gnawed off a large piece of meat by the Xiliang Army, forget it, skip the fierce beast that the Xiliang Army can't feed.
There are only barbarians in the south, but in this case, it is inevitable that he will have a reputation for colluding with foreign tribes, and Yuan Shu, who has always loved his reputation, is a little hesitant.
As for the last east, it was Jiang Hong, who had just been beaten half-crippled by himself, how could this be done, Yuan Shu suddenly found that he didn't seem to be able to find an ally.
Cao Cao of Yanzhou can be regarded as his ally, but Yanzhou does not border Jingzhou, and it is impossible for Cao Apu to send troops across the border to help him, which is unrealistic.
Liu Biao doesn't have to worry about his surroundings, but his surroundings are not safe at all. Don't look at Jiang Hong, that guy is very quiet now, if he comes back to his senses, he and Liu Biao are simply natural allies.
Wow, thinking about it like this, Yuan Shu felt that his mentality was about to collapse.
Take a step back and open the sky, what he is talking about is the current Yuan Shu, as long as he is willing to give up Nanyang, return to Yuzhou, and clean up Zhou Ang, who is still breathing, Xuzhou, who was beaten silently by Jiang Hong, is a piece of fat on Yuan Shu's mouth.
Skipping Xuzhou, let's just say that Jiang Hong is now also in a half-crippled state.
As long as Yuan Shu gave up Nanyang and attacked Jiang Hong with all his might, Jiang Hong would not have much power to fight back, and it would not be difficult to take Yangzhou completely.
But everything is to ask Yuan Shu to give up Nanyang County, but Yuan Shu is willing to give it up!
Let's not say that Nanyang County is Yuan Shu's lair, let's just say that the wealth of Nanyang County is enough to cover most of it, or even the entire Yangzhou, how can Yuan Shu be willing to give it.
The three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, although the world has not yet invented this sentence, but Yuan Shu still knows the truth in it, otherwise what are his staff and advisers for? Eating rice?
"My lord, as far as the minister can see, this Nanyang County, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it back this time." After listening to Yuan Shu's confusion, Yan Xiang said.
"But..." Yuan Shu also understood this truth in his heart, but he was still unwilling.
"If this Cai Mao is greedy and reckless, we can see the opportunity to act and hit him hard in one fell swoop. But this Cai Mao is stubbornly defending Wancheng, let us seduce in every way, but he refuses to go out of the city to meet the enemy, even if Sun Wu is alive, I am afraid that there is no way to take Cai Mao, an old turtle. ”
"Now that Huang Zu has attacked my Runan, the lord has divided his troops to rescue, and there is no big problem, but it is just like this, more than self-preservation, and not enough progress." Yan Xiang said helplessly.
"What can you do, don't be stumbling, say it quickly." Yuan Shu urged impatiently.
"Abandon Nanyang and seize Huainan." Yan Xiang simply said six words.
But he didn't want to be rejected by Yuan Shu immediately.
"No, you have to mention this matter again, I will never give Nanyang to Liu Biao'er!"
