Yuan Shu was indeed in the cause, and he was hesitant in anger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In just half a month, anyone who has been defeated on all battlefields, abandoned cities and land, and lost troops and generals will not be happy.
When the Lu army was defeated, he was hesitating whether to continue to increase his troops and continue to fight Cao Cao; Then came the news of the defeat of Yingchuan and Runan, and he knew that his counteroffensive plan would not work, and he hesitated whether to defend heavily or send troops to recapture Lujiang, which was still in the midst of war; When the Zhou clan betrayed, the Jiangdong Army captured Shucheng, Liu Xun escaped by luck, and the news of the annihilation of the Praetorian Guard came again, and he knew that he had no time to hesitate anymore and had to make a decision. No matter how angry he is, he must show strong self-confidence in front of the courtiers, and he must also reprimand all those who speak negatively, and even do not rule out using a few more powerful people to make an example.
Otherwise, God knows if those families who are different from each other will learn and do the same thing secretly.
After retreating from the dynasty, Yuan Shu summoned Yan Xiang again to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, make a decision as soon as possible, the four battlefields are all defeated, and it is impossible for us to fight any more." As soon as they met, Yan Xiang said, "Now the enemy is the same, and he can basically no longer support the war. However, if the border army does not retreat for a day, we will not be able to make it easy for a day, and if it drags on for too long, let several parties unite to exert pressure, our losses will be even greater. ā
"Did I just swallow that?" Yuan Shu was very unhappy, "Those leading generals are all waste, and the originally good situation has been completely ruined by them." There is also the Zhou family, who trusted them so much that they actually did such a rebellious thing. Have all the people left behind by the Zhou family been arrested? Command them to go down and behead them all. "Thinking of the Zhou family, Yuan Shu wanted to kill people.
"Your Majesty, as long as you maintain the current situation, in the future, some will almost regain the lost counties." Yan Xiang said, "Reaching an armistice agreement is now the first issue. As for those slaves of the Zhou family, there are no important people, even if they are killed, they can only vent their anger, it is better to use them again to achieve our goals. Of course, Yan Xiang would not mention that Yuan Shu insisted on sending Zhou Shang to Shucheng in the first place, otherwise where would Yuan Shu's face go.
"What else are they for?" Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied with this.
"It is returned as a sign of sincerity for peace, and it can also be exchanged for prisoners. The Praetorian Guards are all His Majesty's henchmen, they fell for the trick and were captured, His Majesty is benevolent, but he cannot abandon them. With such a master, Yan Xiang was very distressed.
At the critical moment, Yuan Shu couldn't help his temperament, so he could only agree angrily, but he vowed in his heart that he must find the field.
"How do you do that, and what's the bottom line?" Yuan Shu asked again how to eliminate the war.
"The state of Lu will definitely not be able to be saved, but Cao Cao must not be allowed to enter Xuzhou, otherwise we will always be under the threat of Cao Cao's troops." Yan Xiang analyzed, "Yingchuan is the same, Sun Jian has been operating here for many years, and it is deeply rooted, but fortunately, there was originally some affection, and Sun Cao was wary of each other because of Chen Liu, he definitely wanted to stop the war as soon as possible." As for Runan, there is no need to think about it to the west of Pingyu, try to keep a few cities. On the Lujiang side, although Liu Feng's power is the smallest, there is only one river between him and us, which is also a big trouble. Fortunately, the northern part of the Lujiang River is still under our control, so we have the confidence to negotiate. Your Majesty, please go to Lujiang and his party in person, take the lead in reaching an armistice with Jiangdong, and then go to several other places to break through the parties that are eyeing each other one by one. ā
"This ...... I can't live without the Qing family! With Zhou Shang's experience, Yuan Shu was a little hesitant even if he trusted Yan Xiang.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers' families are in Pengcheng, how dare they have two hearts. Moreover, when the minister went to Lujiang this time, he still needed His Majesty's army to suppress the formation. Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shu's thoughts, "There is only one thing Your Majesty needs to remember, that is, we must ensure the stability of the government and the opposition, and maintain the determination to fight at any cost to the outside world." After the army is dismissed, it can be a little relieved and concentrate on expanding its strength. ā
ā¦ā¦
Yuan Shu finally agreed, and sent a large army to follow Yan Xiang to Lujiang. And during this time, Liu Feng's layout in Lujiang has also been completed.
Liu Xun was indeed frightened.
He took away most of the soldiers and horses from Tongxiang, causing chaos in Tongxiang, plus the other two townships passing by, the soldiers taken away plus the soldiers brought out from Shucheng, taking into account that there can be nearly 200,000 people, plus the county soldiers of Longshu, even if they are defeated by Lusu, they can hold on for a while.
But what is puzzling is that before Lu Su arrived at Longshu, Liu Xun continued to flee north with most of the soldiers and horses, so when Lu Su arrived, the abandoned Longshu people took the initiative to surrender. And because of the system, the players in the city didn't make trouble, and they picked up a county town without much loss. Of course, except for some grain in the treasury, all the other things that could be taken away were taken away by Liu Xun.
This is not the last, maybe Liu Feng's previous prayer took effect, maybe his lucky attributes played a role, Juchao and Wancheng did not resist, and after learning the news of Liu Xun's flight to the north, he surrendered under the leadership of the county magistrate. When Yan Xiang entered the territory of Lujiang, Xunyang, the last county town in the south of the Lujiang River, was also peacefully received by the Jiangdong Army, completely occupying the entire southern part of the Lujiang River.
It was at this time that Liu Feng once again received an edict from Jinyang.
After the war, Liu Feng sent troops to crusade against the rebel Yuan Shu to the Jinyang court, and waited until he captured Shucheng, and reported the victory again, of course, he inevitably mentioned his own merits and huge losses, and said that he would resolutely obey the Jinyang court and swear to fight against the thieves.
Now, at last, there are results.
The angel set off from Jinyang, it was Lu Bu who sent someone to escort him, and he was received by Sun Jian when he arrived in Hanoi. Of the three envoys, one went directly to Yanzhou, one came to Shucheng after giving Sun Jian an edict, and the last one went to Wancheng and Xiangyang.
āā¦ā¦ There are Shangyu Township Marquis, Zhendong General, Huiji Taishou Liu Feng, crusade against rebellion, brave and brave to kill thieves, protect my Han Shenwei, special Feng Zhengdong General, into the Marquis of Wu, promoted to Yangzhou Mu, Yangzhou should be large and small affairs, all have the state pastor presided, officials appointed, by the state pastor to play the ......"
In addition to the edict, there are also several seals brought by the angel.
Rubbing this seal on behalf of power, thanks to the angel, Liu Feng was overjoyed. sprinkled a large number of edicts, and what Liu Feng can remember is the few sentences that promoted him. That is to say, from now on, he has a legal basis for leading Yangzhou, and finally he is no longer a grass platform team, and he acts as a general.
Although it is said that he does not have the authority to open a government, as a state minister, he has his own auxiliary agency. Now, Liu Feng can finally reward his subordinates.
