Liu Ye said: "If Sun Ce waves his army to attack, our army can defend the fortified city, so that not only can we take the opportunity to build an elite army, but the lord can also take the opportunity to send away those officials who are unwilling to leave, and even more, the lord can also take this opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people in the world!" ”

Yuan Wei was a little skeptical, and asked Liu Ye at the moment: "It is understandable to use the battle to defend the city to create an elite army, and it is understandable to take the opportunity of Sun Ce to attack and send away the officials who are unwilling to leave, after all, when the siege is the tightest, they will definitely surrender in order to protect themselves, but when they take the opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people, where do you start?" ”

Liu Ye said: "If the siege battle is deadlocked, the Jiangdong army is difficult to conquer, at this time, the lord condemns the envoy to negotiate peace, as long as Sun Ce is willing to ensure the safety of the 100,000 people living in the nest, and swears not to encroach on the land of the noble and powerful scholars, in this way, the lord is willing to sacrifice the city of Juchao, you say, the 100,000 people living in the nest and the warriors of Lujiang will feel after hearing it?" ”

Yuan Wei was moved when he heard this, and said: "The people of the nest and the warriors of Lujiang must be grateful to someone. ”

"Grateful? Hehe, it's hypocritical for the lord to say this. Liu Ye said with a smile, "If this is the case, the good name of the lord's benevolence, righteousness, love for the people, and respect for the scholars will definitely spread all over the world, even the old ministers who let go will also be grateful for the lord's benevolence and righteousness, and feel that they owe the lord a great favor." ”

Yuan Wei was completely moved, he knew that Liu Ye was not talking nonsense.

If you really plan it well, this battle can really kill three birds with one stone!

However, compared with building an elite army and getting rid of those civilian officials, Yuan Wei cares more about the people's will and morale!

As a time-traveler, Yuan is well aware of the importance of voice.

Not only in this era, but also in the future generations, it also needs fame.

Why can Du Yuesheng become a big fan of Shanghai Tang? In addition to being ruthless, the most important reason is that Du Yuesheng is righteous and has won the support of his subordinates.

In the troubled era of the late Han Dynasty, reputation was even more important.

Liu Bei is just a weaver and a peddler, but in the end he was able to become the emperor, relying on the reputation of benevolence and righteousness!

If he Yuan can really win the reputation of benevolence, righteousness, love for the people, and respect for the scholars through the battle of the nest, it will undoubtedly be very helpful for the future development, not to mention anything else, after arriving in Hebei, Yuan Shao will also value him more, because Yuan Shao is the most important name, if his reputation can be shown in the sea, Yuan Shao will definitely reuse him.

However, in addition to the excitement, Yuan Wei thought of another question.

Although there are many benefits to this battle, there must be a premise for this, that is, you have to keep the nest!

At that moment, Yuan Wei asked Liu Ye again: "Sir, if Sun Ce really waves his army to attack, can Juchao defend it?" ”

Liu Ye said: "With the four thousand remnants under the command of the lord alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it, but if you add the soldiers of Lujiang Hejun, it should be possible." ”

"The soldiers of Lujiang Hejun?" Yuan Wei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid that Liu Xun may not be willing to send troops." ”

"Why did Liu Xun send troops?" Liu Ye asked Yuan if he said, "After the Lujiang Hejun mentioned below, it means that the soldiers of Lujiang Hejun are all commanded by the lord, not that the lord and Liu Xun join forces!" ”

"What, the soldiers of Lujiang Hejun are all commanded by me?" Yuan was stunned, "What do you mean by this, sir?" ”

Yuan Quan really didn't understand what Liu Ye meant this time, under what circumstances would Liu Xun hand over all the soldiers and horses of Lujiang County to him, Yuan Quan would take charge? Obviously impossible.

Liu Ye threw himself to the ground again, and said to Yuan Wei: "I am not talented, and I am willing to persuade Liu Xun to give up Lujiang County to the lord with a three-inch tongue, so that Sun Ce will inevitably send troops immediately after hearing the news, and the lord has the troops of Lujiang Hejun, plus the original 4,000 remnants of the lord, he has the strength to compete with Sun Ce." ”

"What, what?" Yuan Wei was dumbfounded, thinking that something was wrong with his ears.

Liu Ye straightened up and repeated: "I am willing to persuade Liu Xun to surrender to the lord with a three-inch tongue." ”

Yuan was sure that there was nothing wrong with his ears, but he still couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and said, "Mr. shouldn't be joking with someone, right?" ”

"Of course not." Liu Ye smiled.

Seeing Yuan Wei so shocked, Liu Ye was still a little proud in his heart.

The so-called lord chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the lord, and when the minister chooses the lord, it would be great if he could give another gift, and Lujiang County is the gift that Liu Ye is ready to give to Yuan No!

This gift is not light.

Yuan Wei finally came back to his senses from the shock and said in a deep voice: "Sir, if you want to persuade Liu Xun to let Lujiang, I'm afraid it will not be easy. ”

"Liu Xun will definitely not willingly give up Lujiang County." Liu Ye snorted slightly, and said, "However, at this time, he can't help Liu Xun not to let him." ”

Regarding the matter of forcing Liu Xun to give up Lujiang, Liu Ye is really capable of hard words.

Liu Ye's relationship with Zhang Duo, the captain of the Lujiang infantry army, and Xu Gan, the captain of the navy, is there, and because of the fact that the homeless people are not saved when they see death, Liu Xun is now the people's prestige has been lost, but Yuan Wei has won the love of the homeless people through Juchao Tuntian, and has even curried favor with the scholars of Lujiang by selling the paddy fields at a low price.

Now, the people's hearts and morale of Lujiang have long been attributed to Yuan No.

Yuan Wei replaced Liu Xun as the county guard of Lujiang, which can be said to be expected.

At that moment, Liu Ye said again: "Doesn't the lord hear the general trend? ”

Yuan Wei was no longer hypocritical, and said: "If this is the case, Mr. can't go to Wancheng in person, just send Changshi Yang Hong to Wancheng, Yang Changshi can be good at arguing, and he will not humiliate his mission." ”

At that moment, Yuan Wei asked Ji Ling to call Yang Hong over.

Yang Hongxing rushed in, first bowed to Yuan No, and then bowed deeply to Liu Ye.

After seeing the ceremony, Yang Hong salivated and asked Yuan if he wanted to: "Gongzi summoned his ministers so late, but he didn't know what was important?" ”

Yuan said: "There is really one thing here, and it is still a major event related to the survival of the Yuan family, but I don't know if Yang Changshi is willing to take on this important responsibility?" ”

Yang Hong said generously: "But the son has an order, and the minister will go to the soup and fire, and everything will be followed!" ”

"Very good, Yang Changshi Cheng is worthy of being a loyal and righteous person." Yuan Wei first put on a high hat for Yang Hong, and then handed over the letter of persuasion written by Liu Ye just now to Yang Hong, and then said, "This is a letter of persuasion written by Mr. Ziyang to Liu Xun, early tomorrow morning, you will take this letter of persuasion to Anhui City to persuade Liu Xun to surrender." ”

"Huh? This this. Yang Hong was taken aback when he heard this, and lost his voice, "Persuade, persuade, persuade the book?" ”

Yuan Wei looked at Yang Hong coldly, and said, "Could it be that Yang Changshi doesn't want to go?" ”

But unexpectedly, Yang Hong fell to the ground with a bone, crying bitterly: "Son, spare your life, the minister will return all the rations of the homeless people who have been secretly deducted, one hundred and six stones and five buckets, a bucket is a lot, and the ministers will return it, just ask the prince to be merciful, don't kill the guilty minister, the guilty minister is old and young, uh......"

Yang Hong suddenly couldn't make it up, his mother died early, and he had no heirs, where did he come from?

Yuan Wei suddenly cried and laughed, and asked Yang Hong to go to Anhui City, but he never wanted to shake out the bad thing that he had embezzled one hundred and six stones and five buckets of rations, this guy has a really good memory, and even a fraction of five buckets can be remembered clearly.

It seems that Yuan Yin's subjugation of the law shocked this group of former ministers of the Zhong Dynasty.

At this time, what we have to do is no longer to punish the law, but to be gracious, and at that moment Yuan Wei said: "Yang Changshi, if you are willing to go to Anhui City, the matter of greedy ink rations will no longer be investigated, and there will be a heavy reward!" ”

Yang Hong cried and said with a sad face: "Childe should simply kill the criminal minister, because if the criminal minister goes to Anhui City, he will definitely die, and he will die left and right, so it is better to die under Gongzi." ”

Seeing that Yuan's intimidation and city grace were ineffective, Liu Ye said to Yang Hong with a smile: "Although Yang Changshi can go with confidence, I will ensure that you are safe and sound, perhaps, Yang Changshi may have an unexpected gain from this trip." ”

Anyway, it's lightweight? If it's not dangerous, why don't you go yourself? Yang Hong scolded secretly in his heart, but there was a respectful expression on his face, and he said respectfully: "Mr. Ziyang, it's not that I don't believe you, I really can't believe Liu Xun's house, Mr.'s letter of persuasion will definitely anger Liu Xun, and Liu Xun will definitely take it out of anger." ”

Yuan Wei was a little impatient, turned his head and shouted, "Where is Ji Ling?" ”

Ji Ling pressed the handle of the knife into the inside, and shouted coldly: "What do you have to say?" ”

Yuan Wei stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Hong, and shouted: "Drag down this dog who dares to be greedy for money and food." ”

"No!" Ji Ling agreed, and was about to come forward to arrest Yang Hong, Yang Hong immediately panicked, and shouted repeatedly, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, can't I go?" ”

Yuan Wei instructed Ji Lingdao again: "Send a few people to protect Yang Changshi." ”

When Yang Hong heard this, his face immediately became a bitter gourd, he wanted to defect to Sun Ce after leaving the city under the pretext of an excuse, but now that Ji Ling has sent someone to monitor him, how can he join the enemy?

I had no choice but to go to Anhui City.
