Yuan Shu rejected Yuan Yao's proposal, mainly because he didn't want his son to be in danger.

Although he prefers his other son, he doesn't hate Yuan Yao's child, and even says from the bottom of his heart that Yuan Yao is also his son, and the tiger poison does not eat children, and he will definitely still have some love for his son.

Yuan Yao listened to Yuan Shu's refusal, and he could also sense the old father's concern for his son from Yuan Shu's words.

But he must also participate in this matter, so he can only continue.

"Father, the child is not afraid of danger, as a prince in the past, he naturally has to abide by his duty, but now his son is just an ordinary prince, he should go to the military camp to exercise himself, share his worries for his father, and contribute to his family and country!"

"I asked my father to let the child lead the soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits, and it is the same now."

"What's more, Erchen now has experience in suppressing bandits, and he has less experience in marching and fighting, if he wants to become a qualified general, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Yuan Yao's impassioned words were said above this hall, which immediately impressed everyone present.

In the past, many people just thought that Yuan Yao, the prince, was submissive, had no opinions, and didn't even have a sense of existence.

When I saw it today, it didn't seem the same.

This seems to be completely different from the Yuan Yao they know, maybe this Yuan Yao is suitable to be a prince.

However, these people have nothing to do with Yuan Yao, even if Yuan Yao impresses them, now that Yuan Yao has lost power, they will not pay attention to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao looked at Yuan Shu sincerely, Yuan Shu got up and was about to leave, but when he saw Yuan Yao's eyes, listening to what Yuan Yao said, he was still shaken.

"Okay, then you are allowed to lead the men and horses to participate, and you should follow General Qiao Rui and go to Huaibei."

Yuan Shu thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.

After having Yuan Shu's instructions, the next Shouchun was quickly busy.

Those advisers each went to exert their own strength, collect intelligence, and find ways to mobilize people and horses.

The generals are relatively simple, each leading their men and horses to the front line of the battlefield.

Wait for the commander-in-chief's dispatch.

And this time, the person in charge of the crusade against Lu Bu was naturally none other than Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shu.

Zhang Xun is a general, and he is responsible for all military dispatches in the country.

This time, he led an army of 60,000 to Huaibei, and the soldiers and horses he could directly dispatch were actually only 40,000.

The rest of the men were subordinate to different generals.

For example, the 5,000 men led by Yuan Yao and Qiao Rui, although these horses were nominally under Zhang Xun's command, in fact Yuan Yao and they themselves had relatively large autonomy.

Lingbi County, where Zhang Xun led the army to station.

It is also the place where Yang Feng led the men and horses to temporarily entrench.

Because this place is not far from Xuzhou, it is also the place where Xuzhou and Yuan Shu's territory intersects.

Yang Feng is a general under Yuan Shu, but he has not been in Yuan Shu for a long time, and he is a thief, so he cannot be trusted by Yuan Shu.

Yang Feng participated in the uprising of the White Bo Army of the Yellow Turban remnants in his early years, but the failure of the uprising coincided with the chaos in the world and Dong Zhuo was killed.

Later, in the second year of Xingping, he happened to meet the Han Xian Emperor who was in trouble, so he escorted the Han Xian Emperor Liu Xiedong back to Luoyang, which was quite meritorious.

In the first year of Jian'an, as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Xuchang, Yang Feng lost his power and was attacked by Cao Cao.

Although Yuan Shu did not have a good impression of Yang Feng, he still had a lot of soldiers and horses under his command.

and intended to take refuge in him, Yuan Shu had the intention of enhancing his own strength, and he happened to lack another person to contain Lu Bu.

So he followed the advice of the strategist and accepted Yang Feng's refuge.

This allowed Yang Fengtun to be in the Lingbi area.

Although Yang Feng was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's arrangement, he had no other way, after all, it was not easy to have a place to live at this time.

After Zhang Xun arrived in Lingbi County, relying on his identity and status, he quickly took over all the affairs of Lingbi, and at the same time sent spies to find out the news of Lu Bu.

Yang Feng originally had some opinions, but Zhang Xun was not something he could offend, and he could only wait for Zhang Xun's dispatch temporarily.

In half a month, Yuan Yao also came to Lingbi with his warrior camp.

It's just that Zhang Xun didn't give Yuan Yao face, Yuan Yao proposed that he wanted to participate in the war on the front line, but Zhang Xun directly rejected Yuan Yao's request, not only did not agree to Yuan Yao to go to the front line to participate in the battle, but assigned Yuan Yao to a place far away from Lu Bu's army to garrison.

Naturally, there is a reason for this, Yuan Yao was not dealing with him in the first place, Zhang Xun cared about his nephew, Yuan Yao came to the battlefield, no matter what the result was, it was not good for Zhang Xun.

If Yuan Yao dies on the battlefield, then he Zhang Xun will have to carry this black cauldron, obviously Zhang Xun is unwilling to do this, and if Yuan Yao does not die on the battlefield, but makes meritorious deeds, and gets Yuan Shu's respect and appreciation, it is not something he wants to see.

Therefore, after thinking about it left and right, Zhang Xun felt that it was safest to transfer Yuan Yao away from the core battlefield and away from the main combat area.

In this way, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fought with men and horses, and he didn't have any merits, and he wouldn't die on the battlefield.

also said that he protected Yuan Yao's life, so that Yuan Yao could not refute it at all.

In this way, even if Yuan Yao had the heart to participate in the war, he would stir up Zhang Xun.

However, Yuan Yao was not dissatisfied with Zhang Xun's arrangement, but was very happy.

Because he didn't plan to come over to participate in the battle, he came to the battlefield just to be able to better conspire with Lu Bu.

Staying away from Zhang Xun and others made him not be watched.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun said goodbye, led their own men and horses, took the bridge to get soldiers and horses, and went to Ruyin together.

And Lu Bude's news was also delivered to Zhang Xunde a few days later.

Lü Bu's soldiers and horses have recently been plundering the people in Huaibei for a generation, looting wealth on the one hand, and directly harvesting crops from various places on the other.

Because he had already discussed it with Yuan Yao, Lu Bu had no scruples at all, and he picked a large family to loot, and he got a lot of wealth at once, which made him smile from ear to ear.

And the news that Zhang Xun led a large army to crusade against him had already been sent to Lu Bu through Yuan Yao's men and horses, so that Lu Bu learned the news of Yuan Shu's side in advance, and he was even more fearless.
