Chapter 549, Li Ru reappeared

Naturally, it was sent by Yuan Shu to persuade Liu Feng to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The loss of Nanyang dealt a hard blow to Yuan Shu, making him realize his flaws - enemies everywhere. Although Sun Jian was nominally attached to himself, he could no longer command, and his original ally Tao Qian died by himself and formed a grudge. Whoever almost takes everything will have the same reaction.

Zhang Ji and Liu Biao besieged Wancheng for so long, why didn't Yuan Shu send troops and horses to support? It's not that he doesn't want to, it's powerless. As soon as he made some moves, Cao Cao's army continued to assemble and train, looking like he was going to make a big move. He had just reached an agreement with Cao Cao in Xuzhou, but Yuan Shu still didn't dare to bet that Cao Cao would not attack his territory, and Tao Qian was also holding back his army at all times. In short, the meaning of Cao Cao and Tao Qian is to create the established facts, so that Yuan Shu will lose the number one county in the world and weaken his strength, and Sun Jian is also happy to see jokes, after all, only when Yuan Shu is getting weaker and weaker, the greater his chance of independence.

It wasn't until Zhang Ji and Liu Biao carved up Nanyang that Cao Cao finally stopped, Tao Qian stopped harassing him, and Yuan Shu was finally able to send people to counterattack Nanyang. But it's a pity that it's too late, losing the geographical advantage and people, under the joint efforts of Liu Biao and Zhang Ji, Yuan Shu has never been able to enter Nanyang again. After many attempts, the losses became bigger and bigger, and Yuan Shu finally gave up and stationed heavy troops in his hometown Runan to defend, acquiescing to the fact that he had lost Nanyang.

However, in his heart, Yuan Shu was unwilling, whether it was Zhang Ji and Liu Biao who dared to provoke him, Cao Cao and Tao Qian who dragged him back, or Sun Jian, who gradually couldn't be suppressed, they were all full of resentment, so Liu Feng, who had no suspicion in Jiangdong and even had a good relationship, became Yuan Shu's first choice to consider things.

Therefore, after losing Nanyang, Yuan Shu was able to stabilize the chaos under his rule, so he sent Changshi Yang Hong to Wu County, wanting to unite with Liu Feng to defeat Liu Biao.

According to Yuan Shu's thoughts, when Liu Feng was attacking Yuzhang, Liu Biao sent people to intervene, delaying the speed of his capture of Yuzhang, which was a grudge against Liu Biao. As long as he stands up and takes the lead in crusading against Liu Biao first, Liu Feng naturally has no reason not to be.

What the children of this family think is really in line with their identity, thinking that everyone revolves around them.

Before this, Liu Feng was not worried in Yuan Shu's eyes, as long as he wanted to, he could cross the river and go south at any time and sweep Jiangdong. But after losing Nanyang, he suddenly reacted, and it didn't seem to be so smooth. Liu Feng's strength is not weak, if he really goes south to Jiangdong and relaxes his defense of Yuzhou, who knows if Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Zhang Ji, and Tao Qian will tacitly act at the same time again and take away his Yuzhou. There is also Sun Jian of Yingchuan, who doesn't want to repay his kindness, if he bites back, with his ability, it will be a big trouble for himself. Not to mention Yuan Shao, who was in Jizhou and was plotting to seize Qingzhou, Yuan Shu was very convinced that if he was closer to him, he might directly send troops to attack him. When the time comes, his army will be in Jiangdong, and he will not be able to reach the whip, won't he really want to lose his hometown?

For Liu Feng, he has changed his strategy, and before the surrounding environment is not improved, he can only win over, not be hostile. Yang Hong came this time, in addition to persuading Liu Feng to attack Liu Biao together, he also shouldered the mission of improving the relationship with Liu Feng.

For Yang Hong, there are not many historical materials, only that it is the long history of Yuan Shu, and after the defeat of Yuan Shu, he wanted to take refuge in Sun Ce, but was blocked by Liu Xun.

Yes, it was Liu Xun who pitted Liu Feng during the Ganshui War. When Yang Hong saw Liu Feng, he first explained Liu Xun's behavior at the beginning, saying that he had violated Yuan Shu's orders, and now he has been punished, and he has been removed from his post as the Taishou of Lujiang and went to the border to garrison.

The so-called explanation or something is just an excuse, Liu Feng understands very well that Liu Xun's transfer is by no means a distribution, but Yuan Shu needs a general to guard the border with other princes.

Therefore, he naturally will not be serious, Yuan Shu is showing his attitude, he understands, and the two sides have a basis for continued cooperation.

However, for Yang Hong's proposal that the two families cooperate to attack Liu Biao, Liu Feng, who was ready to recuperate, refused without thinking about it.

"General Liu, as General Pingdong, should preside over Yangzhou affairs, but Liu Jingsheng, as the pastor of Jingzhou, brazenly interfered in the affairs of Yuzhang and attacked the general's troops, could the general just endure it? No complaints? Yang Hong still wanted to convince Liu Feng.

"Liu Jingsheng's move is indeed against morality, and General Ben is indeed dissatisfied with this, and he can't wait to enter Jingzhou immediately." Liu Feng expressed his displeasure with Liu Biao very affirmatively.

"Then why is the general unwilling to join forces with my lord to defeat Liu Biao?" Yang Hong asked.

"Although General Ben wants to, he has a weak heart!" Liu Feng sighed, "General Ben is not as big as the highway brothers, under the continuous campaign, the finances have been scarce, and the logistics can no longer be guaranteed, what will you do to fight again?" In addition, Jiangdong has always had a small population, and the number of troops is naturally small, except for the troops guarding the cities, there are only one or two million people in total, and they are tired and exhausted, and they can't go out again and again without resting for a while, so they can only give up the good advice of the highway brothers. ”

"General Liu controls the four counties of Jiangdong, is there only two million soldiers and horses under his command?" Yang Hong obviously didn't believe it.

"Yang Changshi misunderstood, Wu County fought for more than a year, the losses were too great, and they have not been recovered, and Yuzhang has only just been taken, and a large number of troops are needed to garrison, and these two counties can only be a burden in the short term, and they will not play a big role." Liu Feng explained, "Huiji Danyang is a remote place, there are few people, so naturally there can't be too many recruits." The previous expedition to Yuzhang was already dangerous, and there were still troops there that could be dispatched. Originally, I thought that there were many people in Xuzhou, so let Brother Highway let some homeless people come over. ”

……

Regardless of whether Yang Hong believes it or not, and whether Yuan Shu will be angry because of this, anyway, in the end, Yang Hong did not achieve his goal and could only leave. Liu Feng assured him that he would always support Yuan Shu and always stand by his side, and if Yuan Shu still had the intention of uniting after a year or two, he could give it a try.

Didn't get the answer he wanted, he was alone, and while dealing with Liu Biao and Zhang Ji, he also needed to beware of the surrounding princes Yuan Shu was obviously unable to take care of it, and only with unwillingness, he extinguished his previous thoughts.

What Liu Feng didn't expect was that Yuan Shu's side had just stopped, and the Xiliang Army began to make trouble again.

Originally, there was nothing here, anyway, everyone was used to the "nonsense" of the Xiliang Army, but this time it was different.

Because the shadow of Li Ru appeared in it.
