Yan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and arched his hand: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the minister really has little consideration, since we can't increase the number of troops for Liu Bao, then we have to send a capable commander to garrison Xutai, but I am in the middle of the ......."

Before Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Yao, who was holding back the fire in his belly, jumped out and said proudly: "Father Qi, the son is willing to lead the army to Xutai, if Zhang Yuan's traitor dares to attack, he will be killed without leaving a piece of armor." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yuan Shu is also thinking about who to send to fight, after all, now the soldiers and horses under his command are not as good as before, these precious soldiers and horses, let others lead the troops He can not rest assured, now that his son volunteered, Yuan Shu was naturally very happy.

In the world, who else can be trusted more than his own son.

Yuan Shu immediately laughed and said proudly: "Yao'er is worthy of being my son, brave and outstanding, very good, I will send you to lead an army of 20,000, and then use Ji Ling as your deputy general, go to Xutai, and lead Liu Bao's department, and defeat Zhang Thief for me." ”

Yuan Shu is stubborn and self-serving, the decision has been decided, naturally there is no possibility of repentance, and the ministers are not easy to say.

Yan Xiang really couldn't stand it, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Thief is scheming, and he broke Dong Zhuo a long time, this person must not be underestimated anymore, the minister is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not his opponent and cannot be qualified for the position of commander." ”

Yuan Yao became angry on the spot, and glared at Yan Xiang angrily: "Yan Xiang, you are so bold, you actually help the enemy to be majestic and destroy the morale of our army, what kind of thing is Zhang Yuan's kid, but he is just a dog who is a poor man, and I, Yuan Yao, am afraid that he will not succeed." ”

Yuan Yao's words were extremely arrogant, and he didn't take Zhang Yuan in his eyes at all, as if he had been killed by Zhang Yuan in the previous battle of the party, and he lost an eye.

"The prince despises Zhang Yuan so much, he can't go, has the prince forgotten how he lost this eye?" Yan Xiang was a dead eye, he didn't give him face at all, and directly exposed Yuan Yao's scar in front of everyone.

"Yan Xiang, you-" Yuan Yao was so angry that his face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute for a while, so he had to stare at Yang Hong.

Yang Hong understood, and said busily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was defeated by Zhang Thief before, in fact, it was just an accident, I didn't expect Zhang Yuan to have cavalry, now we know the military situation of Zhang Thief well, and the minister is also willing to go out with the prince to give advice from the side, are you afraid that Zhang Thief's treacherous plan will not succeed." ”

On the dragon couch, Yuan Shu was originally mentioned by Yan Xiang, and he began to feel a little uneasy about his baby prince, but after Yang Hong said this, the worried look on his face suddenly subsided.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang had no choice but to say: "Having said that, after all, the prince is not as good at fighting as His Majesty, and in the opinion of the ministers, this battle is very important, so it is better for His Majesty to conquer in person." ”

When the words fell, Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and there are all kinds of opportunities, how can you leave Beijing easily, the minister thinks that it is enough to have a prince out of the horse." ”

Yuan Shu touched his heavy belly, and then thought about the three thousand beauties in the inner court, where are they still in the mood to go on the expedition again, and when he heard Yang Hong say this, he took the opportunity to say: "Yang Aiqing is reasonable, I have a country to preside, to deal with a mere thief, why do you need me to drive the expedition in person, this battle will be handed over to Yao'er, Yang Aiqing, you have to help from the side." ”

"Obey." Yang Hong smiled and arched his hand.

Before Yan Xiang could say anything more, Yuan Shu had already got up tremblingly, and with the support of several palace maids, he eagerly went to the inner palace to go to those beautiful beauties.

The ministers retreated, Yuan Yao glanced at Yan Xiang with one eye, snorted disdainfully, turned around and walked away.

……

A few days later, the movements of the Huainan army were quickly transmitted back to Jincheng by the emotional network of the dragon.

"This big trick of touching the dragon is really poisonous enough, Yuan Shu didn't dare to use it when he let Liu Bao go, but let his waste son Yuan Yao command the army, God help me." Zhang Yuan sneered and threw the information in his hand on the case.

In the lobby, the atmosphere was suddenly invigorated.

Gao Gong was happy, poured a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Since the old thief of Yuan Shu has been tricked, without further ado, please send troops immediately, we must take Huainan before Dong Zhuo withdraws." ”

Zhang Yuan had no doubts, and immediately ordered that the armies be mobilized, and three days later, they would raise a large army to sweep Huainan and destroy Yuan Shu.

It is important to destroy Yuan in the south, but the stay of the state must not be guarded against.

Because of the consideration of Huainan's abundant water, Yang Zhi was the only one who was good at water in the army, so Zhang Yuan ordered Yang Zhi to accompany the army to the south, and Ran Min, who was in charge of the party, was transferred to the party to guard against Yuan Xi in Liangzhou.

On the Leping side, Zudi was still guarding against Dong Zhuo in the Central Plains.

These two soldiers and horses, plus the pre-Hui team that stayed in Jin, Zhang Yuan left a total of nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses to defend and annex the state.

Zhang Yuan led an army of 25,000 cavalry, led Xiao Maha, Li Dingguo, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Cheng Chu and Gao Gong, two strategists, and his wife Fan Lihua, from Surabaya to the south, straight to Huainan.

The battle mobilization order was issued, and all the civil and military forces dispersed separately to prepare for the dispatch of troops.

Zhang Yuan got up and went to the backyard, this campaign to conquer Huainan, in addition to his subordinates, he also had two people to bring with him.

Walking through the path and through several corridors, Zhang Yuan stepped into a courtyard.

As soon as he stepped in, he heard a woman's sigh.

Looking up, I saw that under the stone pavilion, the mother and daughter of Lian Rouge and Atina were sitting opposite each other, with a faint sadness between their eyebrows, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, and sighing softly from time to time.

"If you don't eat well, or you don't drink well, why do you sigh?" Zhang Yuan sneered and strode into the courtyard.

The mother and daughter were both shocked, looking for prestige, and when they saw Zhang Yuan, their eyes changed at the same time.

In the eyes of the Rouge, fear immediately appeared, and he didn't want to think about it, so he quickly stood up and saluted Zhang Yuanfu, "The concubine has seen Zhang Taishou." ”

Seeing that her stepdaughter, Artina was still so afraid and respectful of Zhang Yuan, knowing that her enlightenment in the past few days had all become deaf ears, and she was unhappy in her heart, and she couldn't help glaring at Lian Rouge, with an angry expression.

Facing Zhang Yuan, she ignored it and didn't speak, just sat silently.

Zhang Yuan didn't bother to bother with her, nodded and gestured for the title rouge to be exempt, and said coldly: "You guys quickly clean up, and go south with the army in three days." ”

Going south with the army?

The mother and daughter glanced at each other, and their pretty faces were suspicious, and they couldn't guess what Zhang Yuan meant.

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and said: "You sigh like this, aren't you just thinking about Liu Bao, I will send troops south now to capture Huainan, Ye Zhang, you will see Liu Bao soon." (To be continued.) )
