"Well, since that's the case, then let General Zhang make meritorious service and lead an army of 50,000 to quell Sun Ce's rebellion."

After Yuan Yao promised to give up several county seats, Yuan Shu would also climb up the pole.

Perhaps it was Yuan Shu's hatred for Sun Ce that was relatively strong, and after Zhang Xun mentioned that he wanted to attack Sun Ce with his guilt and meritorious service, Yuan Shu didn't even have time to think about it.

I agreed directly.

Although Yuan Shu agreed to Zhang Xun's proposal, he did not allocate Zhang Xun's 100,000 troops.

It's not that Yuan Shu is a little stingy in this matter, Yuan Shu himself understands that the more soldiers and horses, the greater the chance of defeating Sun Ce.

But he really can't get so many people now.

In the previous battle in Huaibei, too many soldiers and horses had been lost, not only Zhang Xun had died a lot, but also Yang Feng and others had defected to the enemy and taken away a lot.

In addition, in the recent winter, although there are many displaced people in Shouchun and other places, Yuan Shu's men do not have much food in stock, so they dare not recruit more people.

And the soldiers and horses who are really guarding near Shouchun are less than 100,000.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to let Zhang Xun transfer all these soldiers and horses, so he could only let him lead an army of 50,000 to exterminate Sun Ce, but 50,000 soldiers and horses were more than enough in Yuan Shu's opinion.

After all, just one Sun Ce only occupied Jiangdong, a very small piece of territory.

There are tens of thousands of troops out of the army, and they can be easily wiped out.

Zhang Xun was also very happy to hear Yuan Shu agree, although it was a little regrettable that he was not able to transfer 100,000 troops, but 50,000 people were completely enough in his mind.

He quickly knelt down and thanked him.

On the contrary, Yuan Jing, who was standing beside Yuan Shu, showed a little envious expression.

He also wants to go to the front line to fight, by the way, to lead the troops and horses, and mix up a little military merit.

As the crown prince, he can only follow Yuan Shu's side, he can't learn too much, and he doesn't have any merits.

Originally, this matter was not important to Yuan Jing.

After all, he is the crown prince, and he will take over the position of imperial power in the future, where is the merit needed.

But recently, Yuan Yao, the abolished prince, has become more and more popular. not only won over many ministers in the court, but also went to the front line several times to lead the soldiers and horses to fight, and achieved great achievements.

made more and more ministers look at Yuan Yao with admiration, and Yuan Yao's prestige gradually surpassed that of him as a prince.

If he doesn't show his performance again, I'm afraid that the name of the abolished prince will fall on him.

Right now, he can follow his uncle to the front line together, and if he can really kill Sun Ce, then he can also follow him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Jing couldn't sit still, and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask his father, Yuan Shu.

"Father, the sons are also willing to share their father's worries, and ask the father and emperor to allow the sons and daughters to go with General Zhang to exterminate Sun Ce's dog thief!"

Originally, this matter had been figured out, and it could be considered resolved. Yuan Shu planned to retire and go down to rest.

Now I suddenly heard my other son ask.

Immediately, he frowned, and hesitated a little for a while.

He looked at his eldest son Yuan Yao, although his face was full of relief, but when he looked at the current crown prince Yuan Jing, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

He was still worried about what would happen to his son on the battlefield.

Just when Yuan Shu hesitated, Zhang Xun, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to understand his nephew's intentions.

guessed that his nephew should want to follow him to the battlefield to mix up some merits, so as to improve his reputation as the prince, Zhang Xun was overjoyed and understood that this was a good thing.

did not stop it immediately, but took the initiative to speak to Yuan Shu.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has this heart, and he should support it!"

"When the children are older, they should be allowed to experience more, has Your Majesty forgotten Yuan Yao in front of him?"

"It is precisely because of his experience on the front line that Yuan Yao has grown so rapidly in just one year."

"The prince is not young now, he should learn to be independent, it is better to let him follow the last general to the battlefield to learn and learn, and he will be able to use it in the future."

Yuan Shu was still a little hesitant, but he heard Zhang Xun say this.

glanced at it again, and Yuan Yao, who was on the other side, immediately agreed with Zhang Xun's words.

Indeed, the changes in Yuan Yao this year are obvious to all.

And the reason for all this was that Yuan Yao was sent out to experience the beginning.

In order for him to make such progress in a short period of time, if he lets his other son be sent to the front line to learn and sharpen more.

Maybe he will be able to create another son who is so satisfying to him.

Immediately, Yuan Shu nodded and agreed to the request of the two.

"It's okay, Jing'er, you follow General Zhang to Jiangdong, but remember not to leave the barracks without permission, follow General Zhang's orders, and learn more from the general."

Yuan Shu gave two sentences, which can be regarded as agreeing to his request.

When Yuan Jing beside him heard this, he was immediately ecstatic.

I couldn't help but cast a smug look at my eldest brother Yuan Yao not far away, as if to say, wait, when Lao Tzu leads the army back, it will be time for me to be more beautiful than you.

And Yuan Yao had a smile on his face the whole time, and he couldn't see any emotion.

After these things were figured out, the time was not early, so Yuan Shu retreated from everyone and went down to rest by himself.

Yuan Yao, who left the palace, not only did not feel angry because the city he had just beaten was handed over to Yuan Shu.

On the contrary, I was in a good mood, and even looked forward to it.

What a joy it is today.

He was worried that he didn't know what reason to find to deal with Zhang Xun and Yuan Jing.

Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to jump out and find their own trouble.

And it's the most stupid way to do it.

The war in Jiangdong is as simple as they thought.

Yuan Yao himself was still worried, could the soldiers and horses sent in the past be able to stop Sun Ce's counterattack?

He was still considering whether to continue to send more troops and horses to garrison.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xun bumped into it by himself.

Since Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun wanted to go to guard those county towns instead of him, Yuan Yao simply gave them these county towns along the way.

Doing so could not only alleviate Yuan Shu's jealousy of him, but also relieve the pressure on him to garrison these counties.

So that Sun Ce and Yuan Shu can have a few big battles first, consuming the strength of both sides.

When it's almost over, he comes out to clean up the mess.

It's a win-win-win-win

And Zhang Xun led the soldiers and horses to Danyang County to fight against Sun Ce.

No matter how this matter wins or loses, it is excellent for Yuan Yao.

If Zhang Xun is defeated and dies on the battlefield, it will be equivalent to letting Yuan Yao use Sun Ce's hand to eradicate his own enemy.

Even if he didn't die on the battlefield and returned to Shouchun, he could lose two battles in a row, and Zhang Xun would inevitably lose enough voice in the eyes of Yuan Shu.

will even plummet his reputation and gradually fade out of the court, and he will not be able to form an effective threat to Yuan Yao.
