Chapter 508: Defending Shouchun
"Why not, do you still have to turn a blind eye to General Ji being humiliated like this?" Liu Xun glared at Yan Xiang angrily and shouted out unceremoniously.
And that Yuan Shu also glared at Yan Xiang fiercely, although he didn't speak, but the anger in Yan Zòng's eyes was self-evident. He Yuan Shu really wanted to help him Ji Ling take revenge, and now that he Yan Xiang was so clearly standing up to stop it, how could he Yuan Shu not be angry.
Yan Xiang didn't care about the eyes of the two at all, and said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, General Liu, why don't I want to avenge General Ji Ling, but now is not the time." ”
"What's not the time, then Lu Bu is about to knock on the door, it's not the time yet, when will it be!" Liu Xun shouted angrily.
Yan Xiang glanced at Liu Xun with disdain, and said angrily, "General Ji Ling's 200,000 army is not the opponent of Lu Bu and Cao Cao, does General Liu think that he can be even more powerful than General Ji Ling?" ”
"This ......" Liu Xun shut up in an instant. No matter how arrogant he is, he doesn't dare to compare himself with that Ji Ling. Whether it is martial arts, commanding troops or others, he Liu Xunna is ashamed of himself, and this is also admired by him Ji Lingna. It is precisely for this reason that he, Liu Xun, wants to avenge him Ji Ling.
"Humph!" Yan Xiang snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to Liu Xun anymore, turned his head to look at Yuan Shu, and persuaded, "Your Majesty, the dead are gone, General Ji Ling has lost 200,000 soldiers and horses this time, so that we have less than 300,000 soldiers and horses left in Yangzhou, and there are only 200,000 soldiers and horses in Shouchun. And Cao Cao and Lu Bu were almost intact, and they also had 300,000 soldiers and horses. If we attack the lord, it will undoubtedly kill ourselves. ”
Immediately, he Yuan Shu was a spirit, and his whole body trembled. It's as if I've seen something terrible. He was a little dizzy by Ji Ling's death before, so he wanted to avenge Ji Ling.
But he had completely forgotten about his current situation. Now the 300,000 soldiers and horses of Lu Bu and Cao Cao have eliminated Ji Ling and are heading towards his Shouchun. And he only has about 200,000 soldiers and horses under his hands.
If you want revenge, is that pure nonsense? Even if he sent out all 200,000 soldiers and horses, then who would command the troops, Liu Xun and Le, would be the others.
Even Ji Ling, the most capable person under his command, was no match for Na Lu Bu. Not to mention these guys, sending them out is undoubtedly looking for death.
Now in this situation, he is almost unable to protect himself. Where is there still the effort to avenge him Ji Ling. If the 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands are gone, then he will be dead, and the dragon chair that has not yet sat on the hot will be gone.
It is true that he Yuan Shu wants to avenge Ji Ling, but that is also based on his own safety. If you can't even protect yourself. So what can Ji Ling's hatred be? This is the most basic idea of every superior person.
"Then Yan Xiang. What should we do now? Yuan Shu asked. At this moment, he had completely put the idea of revenge for Ji Ling behind. Let's keep my throne first.
Yan Xiang hesitated for a long time and sighed helplessly. Now if he can have a way, then there will be ghosts. Ever since he became emperor in Yuan Shu, he knew that this day would come back sooner or later.
He Yuan Shu has ambitions, but he doesn't have the strength to match his ambitions. Is it so easy to be emperor?
You must know that even if the current Han is declining, the orthodoxy is still the Han Dynasty. The only one in the hearts of the people in the world is also a big man.
He Yuan Shu is the emperor at this juncture, which is undoubtedly putting himself on the opposite side of the world. Not to mention the people in other places, even the people of Yangzhou under his own command, you also hate Yuan Shu to the core. It's just that he still dares to be angry and doesn't dare to speak.
No matter how powerful his Yuan technique is, can he still withstand the whole world? Don't say it's his Yuan Shu. Even if it is the current general Liu Yao, the first prince of the world who owns the seven states, he doesn't dare to call the emperor casually.
As for this, if you want to say that he Liu Yao has no ambition, Yan Xiang doesn't believe it when he kills him. If he Liu Yao really didn't have any ambition at all, he would have returned the power to the little emperor a long time ago, instead of monopolizing power like he is now and blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Obviously, he, Liu Yao, was also waiting for an opportunity.
But now it's helpless, although they have already risked their lives to persuade Yuan Shu before, but he still insists on going his own way, no matter what, he wants to be the emperor, since the fact has been decided, then there is no way to stop it.
Now Yuan Shu has long been the target of public criticism. These ministers can only find a way to keep him Yuan Shu, and as for whether it can be done, it can only depend on the will of heaven.
"Qi Yu Majesty, our Shouchun is now a tall city wall, sufficient grain and grass, and has 200,000 soldiers and horses. Then Cao Cao and Lu Bu are only 300,000 soldiers and horses. As long as we can delay them until they run out of grain and grass, the danger of Yangzhou can be solved. Yan Xiang said lightly.
It was the only thing he could come up with right now. Go out to fight in the field, with their weak troops in Yangzhou, where will they be the opponents of Lu Bu and Cao Cao, who have experienced a hundred battles. Therefore, he can only rely on the tall walls of Shouchun to be able to fight them.
However, I have to say that it is also good for him Yuan Shu to be afraid of death, because he is afraid of death, so the city wall of this Shouchun is built very tall, which is not much more than Luoyang before, and it is also good news.
"Stick to Shouchun!" When Yuan Shu heard these four words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he gritted his teeth. With the arrogance of his Yuan Shu, how can he endure the strength of such a turtle with a shrunken head. He originally thought that Yan Xiang would have some good way to deal with that Lu Bu, but he didn't expect that after a long time, it was still such a bad idea.
"Your Majesty, we don't have enough troops now, and we can only rely on the city wall to refuse, and when we repel the combined forces of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, we can do more calculations." Li Feng saw his Yuan Shu's thoughts at a glance, and immediately stood up and persuaded him. As he spoke, he glanced at the other ministers.
"Please think twice!" For a while, except for some belligerent generals, the rest of the ministers all knelt on the ground and persuaded them. They are not stupid, and naturally know that there is only one way to defend now. They are now grasshoppers on a rope with Yuan Shu, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, so they can naturally watch him Yuan Shu perish. (To be continued......)
