"Your Majesty, the heads of Ji Ling and Yuan Shu are here, please send them down!"

The battle finally ended before noon, and Ji Ling, a henchman under Yuan Shu, was killed by Ma Chao on the spot, and directly cut off his head.

His soldiers and horses were strangled and not allowed to surrender.

And when Liu Bei and others rushed into the dilapidated Taoist temple on the top of the mountain with soldiers and horses, they saw a Yuan Highway that had already lost its voice.

Yuan Shu, who was seriously ill, finally chose to end his life by himself.

Perhaps this is the last bit of dignity he has as a son of a family.

"Humph!" At this time, Liu Xie still snorted coldly after seeing these two heads, and his face was full of anger, "Such a rebellious thief is not worthy of having a whole corpse!"

Come, expose them to the wilderness, and send their heads to the heavens..."

"Your Majesty!" Just as Liu Xie was about to give the order, a low cry sounded in Liu Xie's ears, "It's okay, Your Majesty pay attention... The dead are great! ”

"Yuan Shu, this thief..."

"Yuan Shu is rebellious and should be killed, and now His Majesty has corrected it, in this case, I will bury it hastily, and then shock the world.

It's not impossible to insult him too much, but why is Your Majesty bothered?

Can you really get out of this evil anger in your heart? ”

"I...."Liu Xie frowned, "Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I am not a bad spirit, he Yuan Highway... It's just that I think it's a little unacceptable to let him go like this! ”

"In this case, Your Majesty can angrily reprimand the Yuan clan in Runan, send this corpse to the Yuan clan to shock the Yuan family, and get some benefits from Runan to appease Your Majesty's anger."

Jia Xu couldn't help but smile slightly at this time, of course he didn't care about the dead, whether his Yuan Shu was separated from the corpse, or whether he was cut by a thousand knives.

What does it have to do with him Jia Xu?

But if you exchange the anger for real benefits, it has something to do with him.

In order to let Liu Xie understand this problem more clearly, Jia Xu directly said the grain shortage under Liu Xie's command now.

"Your Majesty, now the officers and men of our army have captured a lot of surrendered soldiers because of their successive victories, and there are still a large number of Huainan people because they are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness.

Therefore, they also have a good impression of us, and young people have repeatedly joined our army.

One is to follow His Majesty, and the other is... This Huainan is dilapidated, Yuan Shu does not repair the inside, and most of the fields are barren, so there is no way but to eat a bite of food from the army.

However, since then, there are indeed more generals and soldiers in our army, but the consumption of grain and straw in our army is even greater.

Our army has been able to hold out until now, all thanks to the supplies from various counties along the way, plus the funding from Guangling Chen Deng and others.

But although there are a lot of these funds, after all, they are rootless duckweed-like existences, and the daily consumption of the army under our command is a huge number.

In addition, His Majesty has issued an order for me to wait for the relief of the people. Then the consumption is even greater.

It's just a summary of what we waited for, and I'm afraid it won't last until the official spring of next year.

Therefore... Your Majesty understands. ”

At this time, Jia Xu was already very subtle, and if he translated it in Liu Xie's own words, it would be more difficult to hear.

"I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, I want to come out all the time, I want everything, and finally spend money like running water, and now I don't know if I regret it when I have no money!"

Well... That's probably what it means.

Before, Zhang Ji, Du Ji and Su Ze were the big housekeepers for him, and after the princes from all walks of life found out that Liu Xiehao was talking, they paid him a protection fee... Or it's called Dahan membership fee.

Then there was Elfang who helped him collect money outside the plug, and then Wei Qi's appearance helped him to stand up for a while.

This made Liu Xie's finances in Chang'an not collapse directly, but it has been in a state of barely maintaining.

And now, their army is outside, and their daily consumption is an astronomical amount, and it has been more than a year since they tossed along the way.

can only insist that Cao Mengde is willing to go down, and Chen Yuanlong is enough friends...

But this is not a reason for Liu Xie to indulge wantonly, but things have come to this point, even if he is unwilling, Jia Xu can only find a way to make up for it.

And the best way is to use Yuan Shu's corpse to do the work.

In a nutshell... Regardless of whether Yuan Shu's decision has anything to do with the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu's vein must pay a sufficient price.

Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, son-in-law, daughter... As long as they are orthodox in the Han Dynasty or still recognize the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, they will not let them go.

Therefore.... Liu Xie has never had a good impression of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

In the same way, in the matter of Yuan Shu, the Runan Yuan family also has an unshirkable responsibility, even if how the Runan Yuan family announces this matter has nothing to do with them, there is no way to continue to persist when the matter has reached this point.

And in history, it was indeed because of the failure of Yuan Shu that the Runan Yuan clan completely declined.

In Luoyang City, under Dong Zhuo's butcher's knife, this Yuan Shu's pit father trespass directly caused the Yuan family in Runan to be defeated.

On the contrary, Yuan Shao of Hebei, who has been competing with Cao Mengde, has re-emerged after a long period of war.

At this time, while the Yuan family in Runan was still in fear, sending Yuan Shu's corpse over was the best way to bluff it, and then use a person who could speak well to take away a lot of benefits from it.

And the weight of grain can greatly alleviate their problems!

Under Jia Xu's persuasion, Liu Xie looked at the head of Yuan Shu in front of him, and finally waved his hand directly.

"That's it, let's go back to Shouchun!"

In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu was directly attacked and killed by Liu Xie's army, and his forces fell into the southern part of Huainan, and the forces under his command also completely fell apart.

The land of Jiujiang Huainan also completely fell into the hands of Liu Xie, was temporarily occupied by him, and with Shouchun as the foundation, he began to repair the city and pacify the people.

And through Jia Xu's operation, the Yuan family in Runan sent a large amount of grain and straw, so as to request an edict from Liu Xie.

Yuan Shu's trespass is his own fault, and it has nothing to do with the Yuan family...

Well, this edict made Liu Xie very uncomfortable, but he also understood that even if he bit this matter to death and made the Yuan family pay the price, what changes could he make?

Did he go to Runan?

Or did he go back to Luoyang and dig up the grave of the old Yuan family?

Or just cross the Yellow River to behead Yuan Shao?

Isn't this all pure nonsense, Liu Xie is not a fool, he doesn't think this is a good idea.

Through these grains, coupled with Shu Shao and Zhang Fan and other well-known people in the land of Huaisi to help them govern the place, this land of Huainan has quickly stabilized.

Zhang Xun took Yang Hong and others to find Sun Ce, but in the end, as Jia Xu expected, he was directly sold by Huang Yi, who was inconspicuous and inconspicuous.

As Yuan Shu's son-in-law, no one thought that this guy would unite with Liu Xun to intercept them all at the most critical moment.

At this moment, Zhang Xun and Yang Hong were dumbfounded, and Sun Ce, who was ready to accept the inheritance of soldiers and horses, was also dumbfounded.

And the consequences, Sun Ce was angry and directly led the soldiers and horses to kill the Lujiang here.

"Sun can't kill him Yuan Benchu, can't he kill him Liu Xun?

The soldiers listened to the order, let me enter the Lujiang River, and let Liu Xun see, what is called something that should not be moved, don't move! ”

Just when Sun Ce decided to take revenge on Liu Xun, his best friend Zhou Yu finally stood up and interrupted him.

"Bo Fu don't be impulsive, then Liu Xun has now obtained the subordinates and goods left by Yuan Shu, and his momentum is great, if we fight with him now, it will definitely attract him to fight back desperately.

At that time, although we are not afraid of him, we will inevitably lose our troops and lose our generals.

This land of the Lujiang River is important, but it is equally important for us to occupy the land of Jiangdong, so we must not waste too much of the power of soldiers and horses on the little Liu Xun.

Some time ago, I heard that Liu Xun asked him to go to Yuzhang from his younger brother Liu Kai to find Hua Xin and ask for grain and grass, but Hua Xin refused.

After that, the sea dusk and the upper line, so that the commanders of the sects gave a total of 30,000 rice to him.

But these months have passed, not to mention 30,000 Hu, and if you die, you will get 3,000 Hu, which is a shame for Liu Xun, who is now arrogant.

We only need to talk to him with kind words, as long as he despises us, we can encourage him to go and fight with the heroes in Shangliao and other places.

Liu Xun is now strong and strong, but there are no famous generals under his command, and the soldiers are not elite.

I'm afraid it won't end in a short period of time.

At this time, we only need to sneak attack Lujiang, not only can we cut off its way back to take revenge, but also take Lujiang by taking advantage of the situation and take back the deployment goods left by Yuan Shu.

Why not? ”

Zhou Yu's words made Sun Ce fall into deep thought, he felt that although this strategy was good, but...

"Gong Jin is worthy of being Gong Jin, just do as you say!"

Well, what's good or not, can my brother say that this can be bad?

With Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, who is already very smart, has always liked to put his brain aside, after all, it is useless.

The battle in Lujiang did not break out, which made Jia Xu's brows frown a little, which seemed a little unexpected to him.

"It seems that this Sun Ce's side... There are still capable people! ”

At this time, in Liu Xie's big tent, Jia Xu looked at the map of Lujiang, kept stroking his beard, and at the same time his eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't guess wrong, he got the news from Xu Huang stationed in Hefei, Sun Ce was indeed going to turn against Liu Xun, but he didn't attack directly.

Instead, he played a trick to show the enemy weakness, and watched Liu Xun continue to raise soldiers, horses, food and grass, and then prepare to attack Shangliao.

He's been tricked!

At this moment, Liu Xie and Jia Xu wanted to swallow the Lujiang River, and the matter of harvesting grain and grass fell through.

"Wenhe, if you only rely on our current grain, can you support Nanyang?"

"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded without saying a word, "But Your Majesty... Are you really willing? ”
