Chapter 302 Yuan Shu daydreamed, Xuzhou was in a hurry to ask for help
Yuan Shu has been feeling quite satisfied recently. The "big mountain" that pressed on his heart fell under the knife. The long-coveted position of the head of the Yuan family, only some juniors are left in the way, who can compete with him Yuan Highway for the huge fame accumulated by the fourth and third princes and the huge benefits brought by it?
At the beginning, Yuan Shao was just a prodigal figure in Luoyang, even if he bet on the right and gained a certain reputation by opposing Dong Zhuo, he was just sealing a small Bohai too guard. If it weren't for the fact that when the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family was wiped out, the head of the family died, and the whole family of more than 400 people, except for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, were all slaughtered, so that Yuan Shao, the eldest son, relied on the reason for the succession to the head of the family Yuan Cheng that year, and inherited the position of the head of the family, so that in just three years, he inherited the rich connections and achieved the glory of the moment in Hebei.
Now, the opportunity I have been waiting for has finally arrived! Sun Ce, the son of the Sun family, who had made a good deal with himself, went extremely smoothly to attack Jiangdong, and the soldiers surrounded Qu'a, which had become a sweeping trend. The land of Huaisi, where Yuan Shu was based, also benefited from the "help" of the great drought and natural disasters in the Central Plains, and in just half a year, more than 40,000 displaced people from Yuzhou have been collected as soldiers. According to Yuan Shu's thoughts, it is at this time to face Cao Ying, who drove himself here, and Yuan Shu also has a "full" grasp of the last battle. What's more, he Yuan Shu still has an excellent "reliance" in his hands that cannot be compared with Yuan Shao, who relied on it at that time.
Heirloom jade seal!
To be honest, Yuan Shu also didn't believe in the nonsense that the one who got the jade seal won the world. Otherwise, the world will not turn from Qin to Han, and there will be more immortal dynasties. In contrast, Yuan Shu was more willing to believe in the practical significance that this artifact could bring. Even if you Cao Ying wins the Son of Heaven this time, what can you do? Yuan Shu treated others with himself, so he would not believe that Cao Ying was really loyal to the Han with a heart, and he was a loyal minister who would rather die for this ruined Han. Otherwise, why didn't he Cao Ying hand over all the military strength and territory at hand to the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials after ushering in the Son of Heaven? also came up with such a gimmick to cover up the placement of the Son of Heaven in Yuzhou, which made people laugh in vain.
Although Yuan Shu also admitted that with this kind of "scratching", he was also a little jealous of the reward of the Son of Heaven for his generous gratitude to Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, and even Lu Bu and Qin Xu for saving the driver, and it was he Yuan Highway who once wanted to rescue the Son of Heaven and worship the marquis. But as long as he saw the heirloom jade seal in his private collection, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be "excited". What's the use of making a great contribution? How can you control the Son of Heaven? As long as the news that he Yuan Shu has obtained this artifact is not leaked, it is equivalent to having the capital to follow Yuan Shao's edict to crusade against Dong Zhuo and command the world's heroes.
Everyone knows the important surname of the seal ribbon. If there is no holy decree stamped with the jade seal, can it be regarded as a holy decree? Back then, his cheap eldest brother Yuan Shao, in order to do the thing of establishing another son of heaven, didn't he first take the jade seal that people forged in private before he dared to act? At this moment, there is genuine goods in hand, who is he afraid of Yuan Shu?
Besides, this kind of artifact should be the residence of a virtuous person, and now the "providence" has allowed him to Yuan Shu, isn't it in response to the proverb that has been circulating for a long time, and the Han should be Tu Gao?
To say that Yuan Shu was also a little crazy by Yuan Shao's death. Things that can't be touched by eight poles can also be linked to each other, and it is as if it is self-hypnotized, and it is actually more and more convinced that things should be like this, and this is how it is! So much so that the impulsive mind became more and more intense. I almost thought that I was destined to be the true son of destiny. And with the change of this mind, and seeing his own strength increase dramatically, Yuan Shu's eyes were once again fixed on Xuzhou.
When Tao Qian was alive before, he only plundered in Guangling and Xiapi counties, which made Yuan Shuping have enough food to cover these tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers. That is still in the Central Plains drought, Xuzhou is also deeply affected. If the whole territory of Xuzhou is owned, what kind of scene will it be? It's a panic to think about! Yuan Shu even felt that he could quite understand why Cao Ying was going all out to conquer Yuzhou, and why he would break the army halfway to Xuzhou's "original intention".
Although the current Xuzhou is actually included in the sphere of influence of Lu Bujun, and the Son of Heaven has also officially issued an edict to seal the Marquis of Wuting, the general of Zhengdong, and the Qin of the special entry guard for Xuzhou, but when he Yuan Highway entered Xuzhou, because Qin Xu had to deal with the sudden incident in Qingzhou, he did not really use the knife with Yuan Shu, but was scared back by Qin someone's "false shot" for a while, and then it was gone, and in the end, he Yuan Shu got a little cheap, in Yuan Shu's eyes, If it weren't for the fact that he planned to use all available "resources" at that time to unite with Qingzhou to fight against Yuan Shao, maybe he Yuan Shu would have taken the opportunity to win Xuzhou at that time. With this previous experience, Yuan Shu regretted it this time. I thought more and more that Qin Xu's rumors that he had defeated Cao Xu's elite army in an absolutely inferior situation were not to be believed, and when Qin Xu's retreat was urgent, there were quite some thoughts that Qin Xu was just like this. Even the hussar general who was promoted to be the number one general in the world was not very afraid of Lu Bu.
Even if Lu Bu's strength is superb, so what? Yuan Shu has also led the troops for many years, so naturally he will not be too superstitious about personal force. No matter how brave Lu Bu is, in Yuan Shu's eyes, he is just a reckless man, even if he is officially sealed by the Son of Heaven, it can be regarded as a recognition of his status, isn't it still when Yuan Shao "coerced" Qingzhou, he had to rack his brains, and avoid disasters with false and wrongful snakes? In the final analysis, he is just afraid of the power of the old Yuan family. The old Yuan family, who offended the third prince of the fourth world, had a feud with almost half of the Han officials in the world, and a fool would do that.
In Yuan Shu's thoughts, now seeing that the throne of the head of the Yuan family is about to be sat on by him Yuan Shu, it is equivalent to a talisman has been obtained, so what is there to be afraid of. This time, the surname Suo first swallowed Xuzhou as the foundation, and then took the opportunity to entangle a group of heroes who were eager for the Yuan family as wings, so that he could coerce Qingzhou and deter Lu Bu. Look at him, does Lu Bu dare to continue to pressure Yuan Yao alone in order to "curry" with Yuan Shao. At that time, I am afraid that he will lend Lu Bu ten more guts, and it is estimated that he will not dare to easily form a mortal enemy with Yuan Shu, who obviously has enough strength to deter the heroes at that time, not to mention, if he Yuan Highway can really go further, then Yuan Yao is the prince who deserves his name, and when the destiny returns, the general trend has been decided, and he will give Lu Bu some benefits casually, so isn't it obedient for him to use Yuan Shu?
It seems that the generations of the old Yuan family have some crazy ideas. At the beginning, Yuan Shao dared to set up another son of heaven in order to follow the dragon's merits, and then he dared to call the Yuan Tan brothers who dared to call Cao Ying only by taking advantage of the background of the development of horses and horses, and now it is Yuan Shu's turn.
Yuan Shu, who couldn't sleep for several days stimulated by the wonderful future blueprint in his heart, couldn't wait to act after making a plan, and the bitter advice of his advisers Chen Ji and Yan Xiang couldn't listen to a word, and he wanted to climb high and shout, and the heroes were from the scene, and he fought first to conquer Xuzhou, relying on the power of Xu and Yang, and went west to Liu Biao to report the hatred of the failure of the attack on Chen Liu, and then imitated the matter of the Kwantung princes, and then used the identity of the head of the Yuan family to get Hebei, sweeping Yongliang and Shu, Dominate the world.
If the heavens destroy it, it will make it mad! Now Yuan Shu has fallen into a state of hysteria, regardless of the 40,000 troops under his command, the vast majority of them are just homeless people who are eating food for soldiers, and because of the influx of homeless people in the land of Huaisi, although it has not been greatly affected by natural disasters, it is also difficult to bear the current situation of almost five to one ratio of soldiers to people, and there are many complaints. Issued an urgent order to constantly urge Sun Ce's "progress", and issued an urgent order to adjust the onslaught of Qu'a, seeing that under the "internal and external cooperation" and internal and external attacks, if Sun Ce, who captured Qu'a, focused on the "overall situation", he should quickly assemble and collect his troops and horses, and went north from Wu to attack Guangling County in Xuzhou, and attacked Yuan Shu's army from east to west, so that the defenders of Xuzhou fell into a situation where they could not care about each other.
And Yuan Shu has invested enough money this time, and he really doesn't know where he got so much confidence, regardless of the fact that his only son is still in Qingzhou, it seems that Lu Bu does not dare to do anything about the heir of the "world" in the future. After learning that Xuzhou had scared off his Qingzhou soldiers and the 30,000 Danyang soldiers controlled by Cao Bao in Xiapi, and that there was no general in charge, he immediately ordered his general Ji Ling to lead 3,000 soldiers in the vanguard of the battle, and only 5,000 people were left in Lujiang, the headquarters of Huainan, with Yuan Jian as the Sima, in case Liu Biaoruo sent troops from Jiangxia to enact the matter again, he led a new army of 40,000, with Li Feng, Liu Xun, and Zhang Xun as generals, and Chen Ji, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Yin as strategists, almost all the troops that could be mobilized. Almost the next day when Tai Shici left Xuzhou and ran to Qingzhou, the army slaughtered the two counties of Guangling and Xiapi in Xuzhou.
Because of the looting of Xuzhou last time, Yuan Shu is also familiar with the road this time. However, within three days, they had successively captured several county towns that had been reduced by the trade of potters, which boosted the arrogance of many Yuan Shu's army. However, the morale of this army composed of homeless people who had just formed an army, or even entered the battlefield for the first time, was much higher, and it really had some intention to directly attack Xuzhou with the power of victory. This also made Yuan Shu, who had been self-hypnotizing and thought that he was a real son of heaven, more firmly determined the correct surname of that proverb in his heart.
And in Xiapi City, Qin Xu invited out of the mountain, just arrived in Xuzhou to start receiving political affairs, sorting out the relationship for a few days Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Zhao Yu, who has not yet had time to go to Guangling to take office, saw that although there are more than 40,000 elite soldiers in Xiapi, but there is a great lack of generals, if you just stick to Xiapi, it is enough, Cao Bao, the "first general" in Xuzhou, is enough, but if you can rest assured that the Qingzhou soldiers who can be used as the main force are only surnamed Cao and Zang Ba at this time, it is not enough to apply, and those local generals in Xuzhou are simply unusable. At the beginning, Xia Pi, who was surrounded by some yellow turban thieves, almost wanted to break the city, relying on them was purely similar to offering the city? I just heard that an army of 40,000 was coming, and before I saw half a figure of Yuan Jun, I heard that there were already many people who had the idea of selling their property and going out of the city to hide. In the absence of a better way to deal with it, Zhang Zhao could only first ask the surname Cao, Cao Bao, Zang Ba and others to restrain the army, and ask Chen Yuanlong, the young master of the Chen family, who had the "experience" of defending the city, to assist the deputy commander of the Qingzhou army, surnamed Cao, in taking charge of the defense, and sent the elite 600 li to rush to Qingzhou to ask for reinforcements!
