Chapter 182: My Good Son
Yuan Shu frowned slightly, listening to Yuan Yao's answer, he was slightly uncomfortable.
Although there is nothing wrong with Yuan Yao's answer, as a courtier, shouldn't he come back to see his emperor as soon as he returns to Shouchun?
Even if he is not a courtier, Yuan Yao, as a son of man, can't he come to see his father when he returns home?
However, Yuan Shu didn't want to quarrel with Yuan Yao for this trivial matter.
With patience, he opened his mouth and continued to ask Yuan Yao.
"I heard that you recently had a big battle with that Sun Ce in Danyang County?"
When Yuan Yao heard Yuan Shu's words, he was slightly shocked in his heart, and sure enough, Yuan Shu came for this matter.
He didn't tell Yuan Shu about his battle with Sun Ce in Danyang County, after all, he didn't plan to invite Yuan Shu's men and horses to use Yuan Shu's ability to compete with Sun Ce.
It is not good to tell Yuan Shu, once this matter is known by Yuan Shu, after Danyang County is defeated, the question of the ownership of Danyang County will become a troublesome matter.
Although Yuan Yao had told Yuan Shu in advance that he wanted to recruit Zheng Bao, Yuan Shu might not be willing to hand over the position of the Taishou of Danyang County to Zheng Bao.
Agreeing verbally, but regretting it when he turns his mind, Yuan Shu has done a lot of things.
In history, a large part of the reason why Sun Ce rebelled and left Yuan Shu on his own was because Yuan Shu always went back on his word, agreed to Sun Ce's things, and turned his head and regretted it, which made Sun Ce lose trust in Yuan Shu.
So Yuan Yao didn't trust Yuan Shu very much.
It's just that he didn't expect that his battle in Danyang County had just ended, and as soon as he returned to Shouchun, he was summoned by Yuan Shu and asked about Danyang County.
Thinking about it carefully, Yuan Shu should not be full of food and support, staring at what Yuan Yao is doing every day, looking at Yuan Jing and Zhang Xun, Yuan Yao nodded calmly.
Most of them were spies under Zhang Xun who found out what was happening in Danyang County, so they told Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun was worried, so he reported the matter to Yuan Shu.
In this way, it all figured it out.
Thinking that Yuan Shu might not know much about the affairs of Danyang County, Yuan Yao quickly denied Yuan Shu's problem.
"Back to my father, I can't talk about a big war with Sun Ce, but when I was developing the honeycomb coal business in Jiangdong, I had some friction with Sun Ce and occupied several county seats."
Yuan Yao's answer was quite good, neither denying Yuan Shu's question, nor telling Yuan Shu the truth about Danyang County.
Answering like this, even if Yuan Shu really knows the truth about Danyang County at that time, he will not be able to pick out Yuan Yao's thorn.
But Yuan Shu obviously didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Yuan Yao say that there was some friction with Sun Ce and occupied several county seats, Yuan Shu's face immediately became happy.
"Hahaha, okay, my son is good, I was able to snatch back a few cities from that Sun Ce's hands, it's great."
"It can be regarded as a bad breath for my father."
When Yuan Shu thought of this, he was happy.
Being able to rub Sun Ce's sharpness was the happiest thing for Yuan Shu recently, but when he thought that these county towns had been taken back, he wanted to ask for them from Yuan Yao's hands, and then send soldiers and horses to garrison them.
"Which counties does my son occupy?"
"Dantu County in Wu County, Changxing County, Liyang County in Danyang and other places."
Yuan Yaoyi frowned, thought about it, and reported a few place names.
These county towns are currently under the control of Yuan Yao.
However, Yuan Shu spoke, and Zhang Xun on the side immediately followed Yuan Yao's words and immediately explained for Yuan Shu.
"Dantu County is the port of Wu County, controlling the water trade of Wu County, Liyang and Changxing are the passages that separate Danyang and Wu County, these cities are important towns!"
Zhang Xun's explanation made Yuan Shu's eyes light up, and he was instantly interested.
"Okay, my son is really a great skill, these county towns that we have taken back will be of great help to us to suppress Sun Ce, and my father ordered to send soldiers and horses to take over, so as to launch a counterattack against Sun Ce!"
"Let this white-eyed wolf taste the fate of betraying Lao Tzu!"
Yuan Shu still has a lot of hatred for Sun Ce, which can be seen from Yuan Shu's eyes.
However, when these words fell into Yuan Yao's ears, they obviously made Yuan Yao stunned.
He knew that Yuan Shu was definitely eyeing Danyang County, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so shameless, and he didn't ask him if he agreed or not, so he said that he would send soldiers and horses to garrison.
He sent all the soldiers and horses over, those counties, and Yuan Yao's part?
Just when Yuan Yao was still thinking about how to refuse, Zhang Xun on the side also spoke.
"Your Majesty, Sun Ce, this thief, betrayed us when we needed help the most, it was really treacherous, wolf-hearted, and now that my Zhongguo has quelled the war in the north, I can indeed free up my hands to clean him up."
"The last general is willing to make meritorious contributions, lead 100,000 troops, and go to crusade against Sun Ce!"
When Zhang Xun fought with Lu Bu in Huaibei last time, he suffered a big loss, because he lost the battle, and he couldn't hold his head up in front of Yuan Shu all the time.
Recently, if he wants to recover, he naturally needs a big victory.
And right now, the battle against Sun Ce is the best choice.
Zhang Xun had already learned the news in advance that Sun Ce suffered a big defeat in Danyang, and was severely injured by Yuan Yao's men, and the people of Danyang County were defeated.
At that time, Zhang Xun only needs to lead his soldiers and horses to be stationed in the Danyang area, and directly kill Wu County, and he can easily take Wu County.
As long as Sun Ce is killed and Wu County and other places are recaptured, then his position as Zhang Xun is still very stable.
Thinking that a great future was in front of him, Zhang Xun naturally wanted to quickly stand up and recommend himself, so that Yuan Shu could agree to him to lead the troops to fight again.
Yuan Yao was stunned, looked at Zhang Xun, and then looked at Yuan Shu.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to refuse Yuan Shu's request for the city, but now he smiled.
simply agreed.
"Since my father wants to deal with Sun Ce, my father has taken over all these county towns that his sons have taken over."
"Oh yes, if General Zhang wants to deal with Sun Ce, it's best to drive slowly, Sun Ce's fight is not easy to deal with, although he was defeated by me this time, but he still has the ability to make a comeback, so he should not be taken lightly."
Yuan Yao was not only directly willing to hand over these county towns to Yuan Shu, but also became a good person by the way, and told Zhang Xun.
When Zhang Xun heard Yuan Yao say this, his face was indeed not very good-looking, jokes, he Zhang Xun has fought all his life, and he still needs Yuan Yao, a stinky boy, to teach him to fight.
So he didn't bother to deal with Yuan Yao at all.
On the contrary, it was Yuan Shu, who was very happy.
Yuan Yao was able to hear this and directly hand over the city, which showed that Yuan Yao did not have a disobedient heart, and it seemed that he was thinking too much about himself.
His own son is still his eldest son.
