Chapter 41 The Yuan Highway is full of friends
Yangzhou, Jiujiang County, Shouchun.
Yuan Shu was in his more and more magnificent palace, and he held a Zhengdan banquet with his ministers.
Last year, Yuan Shu had the idea of becoming the emperor, but he was directly scolded back by Yan Xiang, and this year Yuan Shu felt that he had to work harder.
"In the middle of the night, the new year has arrived! Last year, Master Yan told a story, which I think makes sense, and this year we must also rise up even more, what Lujiang, what Xuzhou, what Yuzhou, what Jingzhou...... and the 'Yangzhou pastor', all of them have to be solved! Do you have a good plan? Yuan Shu said.
At this time, he had already drunk three rounds.
For Yuan Shu's undisguised behavior, his subordinates have long been accustomed to it, and even under the drive of Yuan Shu, the strategists and generals under him have become more and more inflated.
Genius on the left, madman on the right.
The closest thing to genius is not mediocrity, but madness!
Yuan Shu had already predicted that the decline of the Han Dynasty was irreversible, but his reaction to this was not to plan early or take advantage of it, but to give birth to the idea of "I should replace it" as soon as he came up.
A few years ago, when Liu Yu had not been killed by Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao wanted to support Liu Yu in order to obtain greater benefits for the Yuan family, and sent people to discuss with Yuan Shu.
As a result, Yuan Shu directly refused, and because of this, he felt that Yuan Shao had no ambitions and did not have his own broad horizons, resulting in the current confrontation between the two Yuans.
But...... Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman, and Yuan Shu obviously belongs to the latter.
After hearing Yuan Shu's arrogant plan, a bearded man under his command, who still wore armor and helmets even during the banquet, and had very clear eyes and nose outlines, stood up and said: "Ling, I am willing to raise 30,000 troops, break Xiaopei, take Xuzhou, and worry about the main centimeter!" ”
This big man is Ji Ling, a fierce general under Yuan Shu, and he is a rare general under Yuan Shu.
Moreover, after last year's unfavorable felling, Yuan Shu Group has also changed its thinking, and the breakthrough has shifted from Xiapi to Xiaopei......
"Lord, the last general is willing to stay in Chenliu, to deter Cao Cao for the lord, and to protect General Ji!" Qiao Rui (rui two voices) also got up at this time and said.
Yuan Shu in the group of heroes after the Dong, ushered in a wave of advantage of the development period, the power throughout Huainan, radiating Xuyu Jiangdong, the strongest time Yuan Shu accounted for most of Yuzhou, the entire Huainan, as well as Jingzhou's Nanyang, Xuzhou's Guangling......
Compared with that time, Yuan Shu's strength has shrunk a lot, Nanyang was taken back by Jingzhou, and Yuzhou was robbed a lot by Cao Cao...... It's just that Yuan Shu's confidence has not been hurt, after all, his power has also expanded in Jiangdong.
Now Yuan Shu is also a tactic that blooms on all sides, attacking Xiao Pei on one side, and naturally beware of Cao Cao on the other!
And Liu Xun, who served as the Taishou of Lujiang and came back to report on his work during the Chinese New Year, also stood up at this time and said: "Lu Kang has been stubbornly resisting for a long time, Xun has failed to fulfill his duties, please surrender to the lord." ”
This Liu Xun is also a general under Yuan Shu, he looks white and fat, even his neck is almost gone, and his eyes are too small to see......
In the corner on the side, Sun Ce, who had been drinking stuffy wine, pouted secretly when he saw this.
Before, Lujiang was beaten down by Sun Ce, but in the end, Taishou fell to Liu Xun, and Sun Ce was dissatisfied with this for a long time.
I saw that although Sun Ce's face was lonely at this time, his eyebrows were heroic, the red turban tied on his forehead, his short hair was tied at random, his hair, eyebrows, and pupils were a little brownish, I don't know if he had an exotic blood, and there was a short scar on his cheeks and cheekbones, which particularly reflected his wildness.
In the same case with him, there is also a handsome young man, thin lips and fine eyes, but it does not look sinister, but a little lazy feeling, silver long hair shawl, untied, and a red dot in the center of his eyebrows, I don't know if it is a birthmark or an acquired ......
It is Sun Ce's sworn brother - Zhou Yu!
"Bo Fu doesn't have to be in a hurry, just wait for the opportunity." Zhou Yu whispered.
"Not in a hurry? Uncle Shang's Danyang Taishou is about to be withdrawn, and my uncle and cousin are also marginalized, Yuan Shu ......" Sun Ce lowered his voice and said in annoyance.
Sun Ce's Sun family, his maternal Wu family, and Zhou Yu's Zhou family are all Jiangdong clans, but now Wu Jing of the Wu family and Sun Ben of the Sun family, who are running for him in Jiangdong, have also been deliberately suppressed by Yuan Shu.
"Can't wait? There's a quicker way, it's just one thing your dad left behind. Zhou Yu said.
"You mean......" Sun Ce was a little entangled.
At this moment, I only heard Yuan Shu calling: "Bo Fu! Why are you so unenergetic today? ”
"My lord, the last general occasionally feels cold, and he is a little overwhelmed." Sun Ce responded.
"Hahaha...... You young people, how can you say no? Yuan Shu pretended to be close and said.
Sun Ce: ......
Sun Ce really wanted to say that what he just said was "not enough to drink", not "no"!
"The lord, since General Ji and General Qiao have asked for their lives, the last general cannot be left behind, only five thousand strong, the last general is willing to take Jiangdong for the lord, and then the last general will recruit troops in Jiangdong again to contribute to the lord's hegemony." Sun Ce pleaded.
When Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes moved slightly, but he still said: "Baitu Xiaoer, deceive the world and steal his name, Yan Baihu of Wujun is just a bandit and the like, and Wang Lang is a poor scholar...... Bo Fu, you good knife, should be used on the blade! ”
"Lord......" Sun Ce wanted to say something more.
even made up his mind that if Yuan Shu didn't let him go to Jiangdong, he would rather call himself sick and recuperate, and then think about the method that Zhou Yu said before!
However, at this time, Yuan Shu said: "I will send you 8,000 naval troops, and your own troops and horses, to Jiangxia to capture Huangzu, do you have confidence?" ”
"Yes!" Sun Ce immediately replied instinctively.
Huang Zu had a grudge against him for killing his father, and when Sun Ce heard this name, he ignored everything else......
Zhou Yu helplessly supported his forehead on the side - Bo Fu is still so easy to fool.
Koto? Easy Yuan Shu did not dare to let the tiger return to the mountain, the Sun family was originally a local family in Wu County, and Sun Ce's maternal family Wu was also quite influential in Jiangdong, plus a Zhou family, and Sun Jian had a great reputation in Jiangdong during his lifetime......
really let Sun Ce go back to Jiangdong, I'm afraid he won't be able to clamp it down!
On the contrary, Jiangxia's Huang Zu, named Liu Biao's subordinate, actually formed his own faction in Jingzhou, with strong soldiers in Jiangxia, strong strength, 8,000 sailors and Sun Ce's own family background, Yuan Shu was not afraid that he could do anything at all, but just wanted him to contain Jingzhou.
[But that's fine......] Zhou Yu said secretly in his heart.
He was even more worried, Yuan Shu was directly generous, gave Sun Ce tens of thousands of sailors, and then let them do whatever they wanted, then Sun Ce and himself joined forces, and they could really break Jiangxia, kill Huang Zu, and avenge Uncle Wentai, and when his father's revenge was over, Sun Ce was afraid that he would really become Yuan Shu's sword, and let him use it at will!
Now the more Yuan Shu is wary and treats Sun Ce lightly, the more chance Zhou Yu has to wait for the day when their brothers join forces to sweep Jiangdong and even sweep the world.
"Lord, the last general is also willing to share the worries of the lord, raise 5,000 elite soldiers, and bring back the white picture child who deceived the world and stole his name for the lord!" Zhang Xun also stood up and said at this time.
Yuan Shu was complacent for a while, looking at the world's famous generals such as Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Liu Xun, and Zhang Xun, as well as Yang Hong and Han Yin...... Well, and Yan Xiang, who doesn't listen to his words, is barely one, these are only slightly worse than himself, but he can also rank in the top ten.
