Chapter 272: Paper Tiger

At this time, Lujiang was too guarded by the mansion, Yuan Shu was seated, and the civil and military were lined up on both sides. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the grand occasion of the previous Shouchun when the civil and military were full, the Taishou Mansion Hall at this time was sparse and sparse, and most of the civil and military generals were mutilated, and most of the civil and military generals were lost to Wei Yan!

Yuan Shu looked around and couldn't help but feel sad: "Wei Yan'er! Wei Yan'er! Break my foundation! I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood! ”

Prior to this, Yuan Shu's situation was very good, and he was about to become emperor, but Wei Yan defeated Yuan Jun twice, and captured Shouchun, where Yuan Shu was preparing to build the capital, Yuan Shu's dream of being the emperor was almost completely shattered, how could he not hate Wei Yan!

People in later generations usually thought that Yuan Shu was a waste snack, and even thought that Wei Yan beat Yuan Shu as a bully and was very boring. People who knew it this way completely ignored how great Yuan Shu's entire power was at this time.

In fact, before Yuan Shu became emperor, his power was very large, Sun Ce at this time was actually a subordinate of Yuan Shu (before 197 years, from Sun Jian to Sun Ce, the Sun family was completely dependent on Yuan Shu), Yangzhou 6 counties are almost all in the hands of Yuan Shu, Yuzhou's Peiguo, Chen Guo, Runan 3 counties, Xuzhou's Guangling County have Yuan Shu's forces, and it can even be said that Yuan Shu's territory at this time is larger than Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and even larger than Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yan Baihu of Wu County and Wang Lang of Huiji had been successively defeated by Sun Ce and others, and Yuan Shu took advantage of Liu Bei's new appointment and occupied Guangling County and part of Xiapi County in the first year of Jian'an. Yuan Shu then divided the seal and appointed Sun Xiang as the Taishou of Runan; Shu Zhong should be Peixiang; Wu Jing is the Taishou of Guangling; Liu Xun is the Taishou of Lujiang; Yuan Yin is the Taishou of Danyang; Sun Ben is the Taishou of Jiujiang; Zhu Zhi was the Taishou of Wu County (please note that Sun Xiang, Wu Jing, Sun Ben, and Zhu Zhi were all members of the Sun family), and by the beginning of 197, Yuan Shu had pacified Jiangdong and other places by various means.

At this time, the territory of Yuan Shu reached Chen and Pei in the north; east of Xiapi, Guangling; To the south of Huiji, west of Liu Biao's Jiangxia, across Yang, Henan, Xu 3 prefectures 11 counties, became the strongest force at that time, referring to the number of households in the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as a standard to calculate, Yuan Shu under the jurisdiction of almost 8 million people, even the former defection to Yuan Shu Lu Bu in the occupation of part of Xuzhou, still need to rely on Yuan Shu, and even some generals colluded with Yuan Shu.

And the attitude of the world's thieves towards Yuan Shu is that the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou responded to Yuan Shu, the Black Mountain Army united with Yuan Shu, and the Baibo Army defected to Yuan Shu. Compared with the surrounding forces, Yuan Shu's side is not only definitely a behemoth, but also has the best situation, and the territory under its control, especially Jiangdong, has very little turmoil.

Therefore, in that life, in the spring of the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu picked the right time, and when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were in constant trouble, regardless of the opposition of some subordinates, he could not be called the emperor for a lifetime.

But in that life, after Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce took the lead in establishing himself in Jiangdong; Later, Lu Bu turned his face with Yuan Shu; And the heavenly lord sent a drought on Huainan. Under this series of blows, Yuan Shu suddenly changed from a darling of heaven to an outcast. Among them, the biggest blow to Yuan Shu was the betrayal of the Sun family led by Sun Ce, which instantly shrank the human, material, and financial resources controlled by Yuan Shu by half. Yuan Shu has always cared for Sun, before the attack on Jiangdong, he had entrusted half of the country to Sun, Sun Xiang, Sun Ben, and Wu Jing were appointed as Runan Taishou, Yuzhou Thorn History, and Danyang Taishou respectively, and never thought that after Sun seized Jiangdong in the name of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's financial, material and human resources, Sun Ce took advantage of Yuan Shu's name to replace Taishou, and ordered Xu Kun to take away Danyang Taishou Yuan Yin, and capturing Danyang means that Sun Ce broke Yuan Shu's monitoring and ruled with Yuan Shu, and he could divide Jiangdong without scruples. In the end, Sun Ce took a letter of resignation and severed relations with Yuan Shu. Poor Yuan Shu was very kind to the Sun family, but as a result, the white-eyed wolves collectively betrayed, and half of Jiangdong became a wedding dress for the Sun family.

Although there are many generals under Yuan Shu's command, most of the generals of the Sun family can be removed, and most of the others are wine bags and rice bags, and Yuan Shu himself is not good at governing the army and not using soldiers well, so the territory is so big, it is just a paper tiger!

In that life, the person Yuan Shu hated the most should be Sun Ce.

In this life, the person Yuan Shu hated the most was Wei Yan, and Wei Yan exposed the face of Yuan Shu's paper tiger earlier than Sun Ce!

At this time, the Lord Bo Yanxiang came to report: "Lord, the big thing is not good! The people who were sent to find Liu Ye, Lu Su, and the infantry trainer reported that Liu Ye, Lu Su, and the infantry trainer were all taken by Wei Yanjie, and our army no longer had the bargaining chips to exchange the families of the lord and the civil and military generals! ”

Although Yuan Shu was defeated because Yan Xiang fell for Wei Yan's strategy, Nian Zai Yan Xiang has always been loyal, and Yuan Shu did not condemn him in the end, but let him accompany him and give advice.

Yuan Shu was furious: "Wei Yanxiao'er, let me use these three people to replace them, but then take them away, what is the reason?" Could it be that he doesn't want to return the person at all? My Yuan! ”

The civil and military generals below looked at each other, not knowing whether he was talking about his wife Feng Yuan or his daughter Yuan Yuan (later Yuan Yuan changed his name to Yuan Xin in order to avoid secrecy).

At this time, Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, hurriedly walked in from outside: "Lord! For some reason, Wei Yan led dozens of people to disguise themselves as caravans, and went straight to Chaohu Lake, and arrived in Hefei in two days! Lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is better to send a team of centaurs to attack Hefei and kill Wei Yan! As soon as Wei Yan dies, the Wei army will definitely collapse, and our army will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and subdue the old land! ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "Great! Where is Liang Gang? ”

General Liang Gang came out of the ranks: "The last general!" ”

Yuan Shu sent the general order: "I will send you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, day and night, to capture Hefei City and capture Wei Yan!" ”

Liang Gang was about to receive the order.

Lord Bo Yanxiang hurriedly persuaded Yuan Shu: "Lord, slow down!" Wei Yan can't just be dozens of people! ”

Yuan Shu also calmed down: "Although Wei Yan'er is brave, he is not a brainless person, how could he only bring dozens of people to Hefei?" ”

At this time, it was reported that Gan Ning, a general under Wei Yan, led five thousand elite horsemen to follow twenty miles away.

Cold sweat broke out on Liang Gang's forehead, he had experienced two major battles, and naturally knew how powerful the elite cavalry under Wei Yan was, not to mention that he had 10,000 horses, that is, 20,000 horses, and if they met head-on, they might not be able to win the battle, and even have the possibility of being annihilated, after all, most of the 10,000 horses he has gathered now are new soldiers!

Yuan Shu also took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, after two fiascos, he didn't dare to be so arrogant anymore, he wondered: "Why did Wei Yan go to Hefei?" ”

Qiao Rui suddenly shouted: "Lord, it's not good, Wei Yan must be trying to persuade Zheng Bao's generation in Chaohu Lake, now Liu Ye and Lu Su are under Wei Yan's account, both of them are Huainan celebrities, and Wei Yan's 100,000 army is pressing the border, Zheng Bao's generation must take refuge in Wei Yan." If General Liang goes to attack Hefei, he will definitely be attacked by Gan Ning and Zheng Bao! ”

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth: "Then send more people!" If 10,000 doesn't work, then send 30,000! ”
