Yuan Shu has had a headache lately. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, he was very proud, although he was forced to withdraw from Nanyang, but this withdrawal gave him a big advantage. One is that he avoided the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on both sides, and he no longer had to be attacked by Zang Min and Liu Biao, although there is Cao Cao in the north now, Cao Cao is in a difficult situation, basically on the defensive, and he has no ability to find any trouble for him, so he can free up his hands to capture Jingzhou.

Only then did he realize that Liu Biao was really not good. In a few months, Sun Jian captured most of Jiangxia, Jiangxia was too guarded by Huang Zu to be trapped in Xiling, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to the rescue, but the sailors led by Cai Mao could only control the Yangtze River, but they could not break Sun Jian's front and rescue Huang Zu, let alone defeat Sun Jian.

When Sun Jian was advancing all the way, Yuan Shu wanted to take this opportunity to pocket Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, so that the north of the Yangtze River would be all his territory. In the next step, he prepared to cross the river into Yuzhang and Danyang. Yuzhang is the largest county in Yangzhou, thousands of miles from north to south, after success, Changsha and Guiyang in Jingzhou are at your fingertips. Danyang is an important town in the lower reaches of the river, and it is connected with Wu County in the east, and has been a rich land since ancient times.

But he was in trouble. He originally thought that Lujiang Taishou Yang Xu and Jiujiang Taishou Zhou Ang were both former officials of the Yuan family, as long as he sent a letter to go, these two people would greet each other, but he didn't think about it, but he touched a nose of ash, Zhou Ang was a little better, but he just ignored the messenger, but Yang Xu scolded and tore Yuan Shu's book, vowing to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, a traitor, and when he heard the return, Yuan Shu's nose was crooked. He ran to Yuan Kui and said. These two have betrayed us, and I will crusade against them.

Yuan Kui didn't speak for a long time, and finally shook his head. "Nope."

Yuan Shu was very surprised, "Why not?" ”

"Our focus is not on Jiujiang and Lujiang." Yuan Kui supported his head with one hand and knocked on the map on the case with the other: "Our center of gravity is in Yanzhou." Cao Cao was between us, making it impossible for us to communicate, and that was the biggest problem. Zhou Ang and Yang Xu are just waiting to see what happens. It's been two years since I Yuan Shu started the army, and if they really want to be loyal ministers of the imperial court, why wait until this day? ”

Yuan Shu was still a little unwilling. Yuan Kui glared at him: "You don't want to make too many enemies." followed the mistakes of Nanyang again, and it is only right to take Jiangxia with good intentions. After taking Jiangxia, he waved his division to the west. It is better to take Nanyang and Nanjun again than to fight Danyang and Jiujiang. ”

Yuan Shu was a little annoyed and angry, although the retreat from Nanyang relieved him of his predicament, but he was driven out after all, which was not good-looking. He is most annoying to mention this. Yuan Kui said that he didn't dare to reply, but he was still very unhappy in his heart. He thought for a moment: "Father, I think this plan is negotiable. ”

Yuan Kui knew that he was uncomfortable, but he still gestured to Yuan Shu according to his temperament: "Then you can talk about it." There's something wrong. ”

Yuan Shu coughed and said seriously: "The reason why I withdrew from Nanyang is not because of Liu Biao, nor because of Zang Min. They fought with me for two years, and I didn't give a single step. It also often has the upper hand. This time he was forced to withdraw from Nanyang, and the root cause was the 10,000 army led by Fu Xie. ”

Yuan Kui frowned lightly and nodded thoughtfully.

"Take Nanyang again, and we will undoubtedly face Liu Xiu face to face again. It seems to be Jin, but it is actually forcing himself to a situation where he has to fight with Liu Xiu. With our current strength, can we be Liu Xiu's opponent? Yuan Shu shook his head: "In front of my father." I don't dare to say it, I admit it, I'm not Liu Xiu's opponent, at least not yet. He peeked at Yuan Kui and said, "Even at the beginning, he was not sure to defeat the latest chapter of Liu Xiu's Roaring Priesthood of the online game. Otherwise, he would have entered the state earlier. ”

Yuan Kui let out a long breath and frowned. He agreed with Yuan Shu. Their biggest enemy is not the imperial court, the imperial court is now left with an empty shell, and their biggest enemy is Liu Xiu. There will be a battle with Liu Xiu sooner or later, but for them, for Liu Xiu, they are not ready at the moment, and they are not willing to make a hasty move. Liu Xiu had just gained Yizhou, and he wanted to put down roots in Yizhou, they occupied the eastern part of the country, but they were divided by Cao Cao in Jianghuai and Hebei, and they could not be connected from end to end. Yuan Shao was blocked from Taihang and could not enter the state westward, Yuan Shu had just withdrawn from Nanyang, but because of a blessing in disguise, Liu Biao refused to let Liu Xiu enter the Jingzhou boundary, and set up a barrier between Yuan Shu and Liu Xiu, so that Yuan Shu did not have to fight with Liu Xiu for the time being. At this time, it is not a way to free up your hands to capture Yangzhou, at least it is better than attacking Jingzhou.

It seems that Yuan Shu's strategic vision has made great progress, and Yuan Kui nodded with satisfaction.

"There is some truth in your opinion, but I still don't approve of attacking Jiujiang and Lujiang, and I believe they will not take the initiative to attack us." Yuan Kui thought for a while, and then said: "Yuzhang Taishou Fengqi is from Runan, and I recommended him to be a member of the government at that time. Some time ago, he also said to me through his brother Fengli that we can enter Yuzhang at any time. Even if Yang Xu wants to attack us, Feng Qi can contain it from behind, and Yang Xu can't do anything. ”

He nodded again: "Breaking Cao Cao is a top priority." ”

Yuan Shu was a little frustrated, Yuan Kui still didn't agree with his strategy, he had to fight Cao Cao, and he instinctively rejected this decision in his heart, because once he got in touch with Yuan Shao, he didn't know what position he would be in.

He has always felt that he should be the head of the next generation of the Yuan family, but this is just his own feeling, whether he is willing to admit it or not, judging from all indications, Yuan Shao's reputation is far above him. He was not convinced, but he couldn't help it, his record was not as good as Yuan Shao, and the strength he controlled was not as good as Yuan Shao, and all this he had now came from Yuan Kui instead of himself.

He even felt that Yang Xu and Zhou Ang probably refused to bow to him because of this reason, and if Yuan Shao wrote to them, they would definitely not have this kind of reaction.

"Why are you in a hurry to fight Cao Cao?" Yuan Shu was still a little unwilling: "Cao Cao is just a fish in a rut, and he can break through Shennong's demonic life at any timeRead the full text." However, if he is killed, the imperial court will definitely arrange for Liu Xiu to come, which is not a good thing for us. ”

"I don't know that." Yuan Kui shook his head helplessly: "You're right, it's not a bad thing to keep Cao Cao, the longer the time drags on, the closer the Kanto will be attached to us, and it's not the best policy to rush to a decisive battle with Liu Xiu." It's just that I just got the news that Cao Cao not only got 4,000 new war horses, but also someone supported him with a batch of food. ”

Yuan Shu was taken aback: "Grain? Who can feed him? ”

It is not an accident that Cao Cao has war horses, and now the land where the Han Dynasty produces horses is in the hands of Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu, like them, also needs time to prepare, and it is normal to send thousands of war horses to the imperial court every year as a tax payable. But it is not normal for someone to support Cao Cao's food. The main grain producing places are in the Kanto, most of them are in the hands of their Yuan family, a small part is in the hands of Cao Cao himself, and the others have no food, so it is understandable to ask Cao Cao for help, how can they support Cao Cao in turn?

If this is true, then destroying Cao Cao before he grows stronger is a strategy that the Yuan clan has to adopt, even if it will cause a conflict with Liu Xiu in advance.

"I don't know." Yuan Kui smiled bitterly: "It is said that the grain came from the East China Sea, but not long before the grain arrived, the heroes of Yanzhou transported a large number of silk silks to Luoyang. Now, the silk silk in Xuzhou and Qingzhou is still being transported to Luoyang in a steady stream. He stared into Yuan Shu's eyes, "You say, should we seize Yanzhou first and cut off this trade route to Luoyang?" ”

Yuan Shu had a chill in the back of his head. Without Yuan Kui's reminder, he also realized the crisis.

The world has been in turmoil for three or four years, who has the greatest loss? Those ordinary people have nothing to lose except for their lives, and the biggest loss is the powerful families everywhere. The world is in chaos, the people can't farm with peace of mind, food is in short supply, except for grain, salt, iron, war horses and other strategic materials will soar, everything else will drop in price. Of course, there is a lot of arable land in Shandong, but Shandong people's commerce is far more important than agriculture. Although it is impossible to have no contact between the different occupied areas, it is certainly not as smooth as in peacetime, and in addition, the safety of the road is also a big problem, and the cost of doing business at this time is very high.

Yuzhou is like this, Jizhou is like this, Qingxu is also like this, everyone is the same, no one can blame anyone, they can only accept the all-out war of the resurgence of the empire. However, if the trade routes in the areas occupied by the imperial court were reopened, the situation would be completely different. It won't be long before the powerful families of Jizhou and Yuzhou will be shaken, and they will be attracted by interests, either forcing the Yuan family to speed up their offensive and take over the world as soon as possible, or they will abandon the Yuan family and support the imperial court instead.

In that way, the foundation of the Yuan family will be dissolved, and any king will become a dream.

"This ...... What is going on with this trade route, and what is the use of so many silk silks being transported to Luoyang? Yuan Shu's voice was dry, in fact, he didn't need Yuan Kui to answer, he also knew the answer. It must be Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu settled in Liangzhou and sent Zhang He to the Western Regions, the purpose should be this trade route.

"It's not clear yet, but I think it's nothing more than the West." Yuan Kui frowned: "Although it is still just a trickle at the moment, but the embankment of a thousand zhang collapsed in the anthill, and we have to be cautious." When people's hearts are scattered, the world is not to be done. ”

Yuan Shu nodded again and again: "Then what is my father going to do?" Attack Yanzhou immediately? ”

"No, you can't be impulsive." Yuan Kui waved his hand, signaling Yuan Shu to be calm and not dry. "Since you're going to fight, think about it. I want to discuss with Ben Chu first, let's act together, strive to take Yanzhou and Qingxu as quickly as possible, and before Liu Xiu arrives in Shandong, we must be ready for a decisive battle with him. Yuan Kui said faintly: "Perhaps, this is the battle that will decide the life and death of my Yuan family, once it starts, it can't be stopped." If I don't prepare properly, I'm afraid that I won't have time to regret it. ”

Yuan Shu nodded with a heavy heart. He felt a chill chill. Originally, he thought that he and Liu Xiu could reduce the pressure without directly facing each other, but now he found that although Liu Xiu was standing outside the battlefield, he was affecting the battlefield all the time.

"Highway, this time with the original army, you have to take care of the overall situation."

Yuan Shu responded, and then realized that Yuan Kui's voice was wrong, and hurriedly raised his head, just about to open his mouth, but met Yuan Kui's stern and hopeful eyes, he opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.
