In the palace of Jianchun, Yuan Shu was sitting on the dragon chair with a lewd face. Below the main hall, a group of thinly dressed dancers are dancing. And at this moment, a very harsh voice came.

"Urgent !!" A soldier with a roll of bamboo slips ran in quickly, and behind him, several important advisers of Yuan Shu followed.

For this sudden roar, Yuan Shu suddenly showed a very hideous expression. However, seeing that there were still a few people behind the soldiers, Yuan Shu put away his hideous expression. After all, the people behind are all their own strategists, and their own country still needs these people to guard.

"The ministers visit the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." Several people came to Yuan Shu's approach, and they all knelt down and said.

Seeing a few people coming, Yuan Shu knew that today's song and dance could only be seen here, and then he waved his hand and motioned for the singer to retreat. After the singers retreated, Yuan Shu said: "No courtesy!" ”

A few people got up, and Changshi Yang Hong stepped forward and said: "I disturbed Your Majesty Xià Yaxing, and the ministers deserve death, but the spies in front have just sent news that Xiaopei Liu Bei has raised 4,000 troops and is rushing towards Jianchun." ”

Hearing that there was a military situation, Yuan Shu was right. But when he heard that it was Liu Bei of Xiaopei, and there were only 4,000 soldiers and horses, he immediately showed a disdainful expression. Seeing that Yuan Shu showed such a disdainful expression, the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang frowned slightly. Pride and underestimation of the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, before the battle began, Yuan Shu already had this expression, if he really started a battle, presumably the soldiers and generals under his command would be the same.

"This can't happen." Yan Xiang gritted his teeth and thought in his heart. Then, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate Liu Bei, Lu Bu led his troops to attack Xiaopei that day. Liu Bei relied on a few thousand soldiers to block Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops, which shows that Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses are still quite powerful. Therefore, His Majesty should never be taken lightly. ”

Yan Xiang's words have been recognized by many people, after all, it is a fact that Liu Bei guards Xiao Pei, and there is absolutely no room for refutation.

But so was the opinion. But Yang Hong, who is a long history, doesn't think so. In the past, Yuan Shu admired Yan Xiang the most, because he was resourceful. But now, Yuan Shu listens to his own words even more, because he has already understood Yuan Shu's thoughts, so when Yuan Shu got the jade seal of the country, he kept advocating that Yuan Shu had the appearance of an emperor, and constantly urged Yuan Shu to ascend the throne.

However, this opinion was fiercely opposed by Yan Xiang. But. In the end, Yang Hong, who was good at whiskers and horses, won. Yuan Shu is just an arrogant and selfish villain, so compared to Yan Xiang's advice, Yuan Shu prefers Yang Hong's sycophancy.

"Yan Changshi is somewhat exaggerated, according to Hong's understanding, although Liu Bei guarded Xiaopei, but this battle also made him hurt his muscles and bones, and the people under his command who could fight were seven or eight out of ten. Now these thousands of soldiers. I'm afraid that many of them are recruits who have just been conscripted into the army, and they don't have much combat effectiveness. Yang Hong retorted disdainfully.

Hear Yang Hong's words. Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction. In the entire hall, Yang Hong still knows his character better.

"What Yang Hong said is not bad, but Yan Xiangyou, you are a little bit of a big deal. Who is Liu Bei, just a puppet who weaves straw shoes, the army he brought out. I'm afraid that he can only weave straw sandals, and in terms of going into battle, how can he be the opponent of my elite division. Yuan Shu said proudly.

As everyone knows, Yuan Shu is a person whose eyes are above the top. He is a descendant of the Yuan clan of the Three Princes, and he is naturally arrogant. For Liu Bei this person. Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously at all, even though he was now a rightful imperial uncle.

"But Liu Bei also has two righteous brothers under his command, both of whom are brave champions of the three armies, and the ten thousand armies take the head of the enemy general from it is like probing for something. With these two people, it is very difficult to defeat Liu Beijun. Yan Xiang didn't stop at all because of the words of Yuan Shu and the others, and still admonished.

In this regard, Yang Hong sneered, and then he spoke: "Master Yan is too worried, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all in Xuchang at this time, and what Xiao Pei left behind are just some old and weak soldiers, so these people are not to be afraid." ”

"In Yihong's view, these are just cannon fodder sent by Cao Cao. The real army is probably coming soon. ”

Regarding Yang Hong's point of view, Yan Xiang did not refute it. He nodded, and then said in agreement: "What Lord Changshi said is true, Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses are just the vanguard army, and I am afraid that it will be Cao Cao's army that will follow." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Xiang's brows couldn't help but furrow. Cao Cao's army is extremely strong, and Cao Cao's command is also full of talents. Not to mention anything else, just one Du Chen, he has already won a hundred battles, if it is really Du Chen's army that attacks, then Huainan will be dangerous.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiang hurriedly said: "I hope that Your Majesty will prepare early, if the Cao army attacks, I will wait to have a solution." You must know that Du Chen under Cao Cao is resourceful, since following Cao Cao, it can be said that he will win every battle, if he personally leads the army, I still need to plan early. ”

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Shu's palace suddenly became a lot quieter. The name of Du Chen is powerful in the world, and in today's world, those who don't know Du Chen really belong to a small number of people. The reason why Cao Cao is so strong now is mostly because of Du Chen.

And Yuan Shu, who was on the dragon chair, also rubbed his forehead after hearing Du Chen's name. I think that back then, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road met the alliance, he also despised Du Chen. But now, just with Du Chen's name, he can shock the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty under his command, which makes Yuan Shu a little dissatisfied.

Yang Hong looked up and saw Yuan Shu's expression, and instantly knew what Yuan Shu was thinking. He hurriedly turned his brain, and then said: "Master Yan, you don't want to raise the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, even if Du Chen is resourceful, but my Huainan talent is not worse than it." Even though he has experienced a hundred battles, he is no worse than the countless fierce generals under His Majesty, and he is no worse than that Cao Cao. ”

Yang Hong's words were generous, which really made Yuan Shu very happy. I saw Yuan Shu on the dragon chair showing a smile, he nodded deeply and said: "What Yang Changshi said is good, even if Du Chen is strong, but our army is not a wine bag and rice bag, and when it comes to really fighting, I don't know who is superior and who is inferior." ”

Seeing Yang Hong and Yuan Shu singing and harmonizing, Yan Xiang felt helpless. Although Yuan Shu was arrogant in the past, he was not so outrageous at all. And since he got the jade seal of the heirloom, there are traitorous villains like Yang Hong on the side, which makes the lord look like this.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiang was somewhat distressed. Thinking about it, Yuan Shu seemed to have become the overlord of the south, but now, he can only retreat in the state of Huainan, which is really regrettable.

"Your Majesty, you have to be careful every qiē, Du Chen's prestige is all based on the victory of one battle after another, and it is absolutely impossible to laugh at this person. Moreover, Cao Cao has a lot of talents, so he has to guard against it! Yan Xiang said bitterly.

But in the face of such a bitter Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied. He had just boosted a little morale, and in a moment, he had made this Yan Xiang stir up. Cao Cao is of course terrible, but he also dominates a state, and there are more than 100,000 combatants under his command.

"Yan Xiang, shut up for me!" Looking at Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu roared fiercely.

"If you continue to talk nonsense here and advocate the toughness of the Cao army, I will punish you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army." Yuan Shu was very annoyed. But he is just talking, after all, Yan Xiang still occupies a lot of status in his heart, even if he always does it on his own now, but his talent cannot be ignored.

Hearing Yuan Shu say this, Yan Xiang opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. However, since Yuan Shu was already like this, Yan Xiang was no longer persuading. After all, Yuan Shu at this time could no longer listen to any of his words, and he was completely occupied by greed and arrogance at this time.

Seeing Yan Xiang so embarrassed in front of Yuan Shu, the happiest person was Yang Hong. After he waited for Yuan Shu to finish scolding and felt a lot more comfortable, he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if Cao Cao Du Chen really comes to attack, Hong is willing to lead the vanguard and kill these two thieves." ”

Yang Hong is just talking, if it is really Du Chen who kills him, I am afraid that he will run faster than anyone else.

But even if it is such a disobedient word, it is deeply liked by Yuan Shu. He nodded with great satisfaction: "Aiqing is very popular with me, since Aiqing is so ambitious, then you will lead the army to recruit the enemy." ”

Hearing Yuan Shu say this, Yang Hong was overjoyed. Because in his opinion, the thousands of Liu Beijun who came to commit crimes were here to give him meritorious service. He didn't take Liu Bei's thousands of men and horses into account at all.

"The minister is willing to lead 10,000 troops, and all the enemies who will attack will be killed." Yang Hong said in a deep voice, but his heart was full of strange joy.

"The order is to order Yang Hong to be the commander, Chai Zuo and Chen Ji to be the vanguard of the left and right, and lead 10,000 troops to crusade against the invading enemy, and it is extremely necessary to wipe out these thousands of Liu Bei's army, and I want to let the big-eared thief Liu Bei know the fate of offending me." Yuan Shu said fiercely.

After Yuan Shu's order was issued, the whole of Huainan did not fall into the panic of war. Because in Yuan Shu's view, it was definitely a move to capture Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers with 10,000 troops, so he had no intention of being defeated at all, and Jianchun City was still singing and dancing.

And Yang Hongchai and the others didn't take Liu Bei's thousands of men and horses in their eyes at all, in their eyes, this was nothing more than a meritorious service for themselves. As long as this battle is fought well, then he will have another merit in front of the lord. When the time comes to deal with Yan Xiang, he will be even more handy.

The whole army of 10,000 set off, and Yang Hong took 10,000 soldiers to kill Liu Beijun. (To be continued......)
