Bang bang, Yuan Shu got up and clapped his hands.

"The sound is striking the west, wonderful, I will deploy immediately."

Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu was persuaded to do so, so he further reminded: "Your Majesty has to tell the generals to keep it secret, otherwise once the true intention is exposed, this plan will be difficult to achieve..."

"Yang Qing rest assured, I will personally drive the expedition and command it with full authority." Yuan Shu nodded with a serious face, thinking that only in this way could he be foolproof.

After making a plan with Yang Hong, Yuan Shu secretly summoned Zhang Min to meet him.

Zhang Min was originally Tao Qian's lieutenant, and after he attacked and killed Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, he fled to Huainan to surrender to Yuan Shu.

Killing the old and robbing the old and robbing the wealth made Zhang Min bear the notoriety, not only the enemy Cao Cao wanted to eat his flesh, but the Huainan celebrities also hated it, although Yuan Shu took him in but did not dare to reuse it, so he secretly placed him in Shouchun.

That night, Zhang Min entered the palace with an edict, and after clasping his fists and saluting, he took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty has a tricky matter to do?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, "King Chen, Liu Chong, and Minister of State Luo Jun insulted my envoys, is General Zhang willing to worry about me?" ”

"Since the defection to Xuzhou, Your Majesty has been very generous to the end, and Your Majesty has ordered you to obey it, I don't know..."

"It's quite difficult to capture Shouchun, Han Zuo has been replaced by me, and Chen Guo has no need to exist, just kill the two of them secretly, it's okay for you, right?"

Zhang Min nodded solemnly, patted his chest and promised: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there will be experience in the end, and there will be news within 100 days." ”

"100 days? I don't have that much patience..."Yuan Shu frowned.

Zhang Min thought about it, and immediately clenched his fists and changed his words: "If Your Majesty can allocate a hundred people from Yulin, you will be able to complete the task in ten months." ”

Yuan Shu slapped the table and shouted, then pointed at Zhang Min and began to draw a big cake, "I will give you two hundred Yu Linwei, and I will give you a county to take care of after the matter is completed." ”

"The last general will live up to His Majesty's trust." Zhang Min's heart was suddenly surging.

Among the princes of the late Han Dynasty, although Yuan Shu was not welcomed by famous families, he was able to attract outlaws like Zhang Min, and his unique charm was another peculiar landscape in that troubled era.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shu ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and forcefully announced the use of troops against Guangling, and said that he would drive the expedition in person.

Yuan Shu ordered Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and other generals to gather troops, intending to recover Guangling within a month, and let Dasi Nong Yan Xiang prepare grain and grass.

The order to go out was soon issued to all battalions and departments, and one hundred and sixty people from Long Xiangqu's department were incorporated into the combat unit.

Qiao Rui brought them with him out of desperation, after all, the last time he fought with Lu Bu, the elite was lost, and Long Xiang's Qubu became an elite soldier.

Long Xiang still remembers that there is a material dealer to share his experience, success in addition to their own background, hard work, talent, the most important thing is whether you can persevere, sometimes fellow travelers give up or fall behind halfway, inconspicuous you may stand out.

Yuan Shu asked the battalions to rush to Zhongli County to converge within five days after completing the assembly, so from the day the military order was issued, there were troops marching to the east one after another.

More than 5,000 people from Qiaorui's headquarters completed the final assembly that night, and the next day they also set off for Zhongli.

During the march, Tang Yu beat his horse to Long Xiang's side and sighed: "I have gone on many expeditions with General Qiao, and I have never been so decisive, and I will start pulling out without waiting for the grain and grass to be prepared." ”

Long Xiang shook his head slightly, "That's the difference between the previous opponents, I heard that Guangling only has three or five thousand defenders, Yuan Shu should want to fight quickly, and if you defeat Guangling, you are afraid that there will be no food to eat?" ”

"I just think it's strange, Chen Yu only has three or five thousand people, just our general Qiao's team can make the other party unbearable, why does Yuan Shu bother to mobilize the people? In a hurry, 50,000 men were mobilized to go on the expedition. Tang Yu looked puzzled.

Long Xiang reminded with a smile: "Of course, it is to deter others, if you only send a few thousand soldiers and horses to attack Chen Yu, Lu Bu will definitely lead troops to help the field." ”

"Yunqi is right, but last time 100,000 people were defeated, this time we only have 50,000 soldiers, can Lu Bu be shocked?" Tang Yu was still puzzled.

Long Xiang analyzed: "If it weren't for Han Xian and Yang Feng to defect before the battle, how could the two generals Zhang and Qiao be defeated? This time, Yuan Shu personally supervised 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it seemed that he was full of confidence. ”

Tang Yu asked again: "In that case, Lu Bu won't come?" ”

"Then I don't know, Lu Bu and Chen Yu don't have any friendship, they shouldn't do their best to help, at most they are just fishing in troubled waters, in short, everything is unknown, as long as we return safely..."Long Xiang shook his head.

Tang Yu nodded in agreement: "That's right, I hope Lu Bu doesn't come." ”

In early August, more than ten troops and horses of Huainan converged in Zhongli, and Yuan Shu made a little preparation and made great fanfare, and entered the boundary of Xuzhou along the Huaishui.

Yuan Shu ordered the army to waive the flag, only marching 20 miles a day, and arrived in Huailing County in seven or eight days.

Huailing's subordinate Pi, the closest county to Jiujiang, was originally controlled by Yuan Shu, but was occupied by Lü Bu after the last defeat.

Lü Bu knew that the border county was vulnerable to attack, so he did not leave a garrison in Huailing, and only more than 100 county guards in charge of public security, so as soon as Yuan Shu's army arrived, the Huailing generals surrendered, and then Yuan Shu ordered the army to stop and rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui were ready to go, and Yuan Shu said that the heat was unbearable, and he needed to delay for a few days before marching into the army.

After resting for two or three days in a row, Yuan Shu still did not give the order to be pulled, so Zhang Xun went to the county government to meet him, but was perfunctory and sent away by Yuan Shu's guards.

Zhang Xun then found Qiao Rui and said with a worried face: "The so-called soldier is fast, since Your Majesty is unwell, why do you have to drive the expedition in person?" Since you and I are Your Majesty's right-hand men, it is better for us to contact the generals to ask for battle, even if our own troops and horses go first, it is better than wasting time here. ”

Qiao Rui frowned after hearing this, "If inviting the generals to fight is tantamount to forcing the palace, what if Your Majesty has other intentions?" General Zhang asked me to think about it..."

"What's the point? Well, I'll come back to you tomorrow morning. Zhang Xun shook his head and left.

Qiao Rui thought about it and didn't have a clue, so he asked Li Tun to summon Long Xiang to ask, and said that Yunqi kid had a flexible brain, and he might be able to see something.

Not long after, Li Tun took Long Xiang to the Qiaorui camp.

After hurriedly saluting, Qiao Rui got straight to the point and said: "Yunqi, you can often deduce the trend of the situation, can you give me an analysis now, Your Majesty's intention to let the army stop in Huailing?" ”

Long Xiang didn't think about it, and replied with his fists clenched: "The generals of each battalion are speculating, saying that they are waiting for the arrival of the follow-up soldiers' rations..."

"Ben will ask you what you think." Qiao Rui frowned.

Long Xiang nodded, pinched his chin and said: "In the foolish opinion of the last general, Your Majesty should have a confidential battle plan, it is estimated that the time to wait, the general may as well wait patiently." ”

Qiao Rui shook her head when she heard this, "Secret battle plan? How could Your Majesty not consult with me? No matter how bad it is, you should tell General Zhang..."

Long Xiang saw that Qiao Rui didn't believe it, and directly threw out the 'Wang Bang'.

"The last general guesses that this matter is very confidential, otherwise His Majesty will not take the expedition in person."
