Han Dao world

Chapter 541

After exchanging a few words, Zhou Zhong returned to the topic in time.

He and Yuan Shu hated each other, but he was not as thick-skinned as Yuan Shu, and in the end he always gave in first.

There is only one problem: how to regain Yuzhou, and together with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, form a siege against Yuan Shao.

Before that, Yan Liang who is stationed in Shucheng must be dealt with first.

Yan Liang was like a nail stuck in Shucheng, which not only prevented Zhou Zhong, the Yuzhou Mu, from taking office, but also prevented Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from going north.As for Yuan Shu, he dared not leave Jiujiang lightly.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Zhong wanted to discuss with Yuan Shu. After all, Lujiang County was still under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Mu, not his Yuzhou Mu.

Yuan Shu also wanted to solve Yan Liang.He felt that Yan Liang was deliberately sent by Yuan Shao to humiliate him, occupying Lujiang County and not leaving, so that he could not sleep at ease.He also planned to pull out the nail himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that his strength was not enough.If you act hastily, not only may you not be able to capture Lujiang, but you may lose Jiujiang.

Chen Deng is active in the south of Peiguo, who knows whether his target is Suiyang or Shouchun?
Yuan Shu had always distrusted Liu Bei, and felt that he was capricious and his position was extremely unstable.

Zhou Zhong discussed with Yuan Shu and decided to take Lujiang first.Before that, we need to get in touch with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so that they can restrain the judges and prevent them from going south for reinforcements.

They had contacts before, but their mutual trust was limited, and Zhou Zhong didn't dare to entrust his death to them.After all, Cao Cao occupies the entire territory of Yingchuan and several counties in Runan, and Liu Bei also occupies the southern part of Peiguo. They may not be willing to spit out the meat in their mouths and let Zhou Zhong, the Yuzhou shepherd, take office.

Now that the Son of Heaven has won the victory, we can discuss this issue again.

Under the general trend that the emperor can send his troops to the east at any time to calm the world, it is obviously not feasible to occupy counties and counties that do not belong to his own jurisdiction. The idea of ​​​​separating one side is even more dangerous. Cao Cao and Liu Bei may change their attitudes and actively cooperate in the battle.

As long as Cao Cao and Liu Bei can restrain the judges, Zhou Zhong can mobilize the forces of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to besiege Lujiang.If Yuan Shu can also cooperate, then he will be more confident.

There is no defense.No matter how good Yan Liang was at fighting, he couldn't last long without reinforcements to look forward to.

The two had a rare unanimity.

Zhou Zhong wrote three letters, one to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, one to Cao Cao, and one to Liu Bei.

At the same time, Yuan Shu called generals Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun and others to discuss and mobilize the army to prepare to besiege Lujiang after the new year.

-

Yi County.

Yuan Shao stood on the high platform, looking at the dilapidated but still tall buildings in the distance, his breath was heavy.

Jushou and Tian Feng stood aside, their faces equally solemn.

They had just received the news that the Son of Heaven had defeated the Western Xianbei at Xiutuze. Not only had he achieved the record of annihilating the main cavalry, but none of the leaders of the three major tribes had escaped and were all killed. Most of the leaders of the other small tribes were also captured.

When the news spread to Youzhou, Youzhou was shocked.There are two most direct consequences: one is that some people feel that after the emperor solves the central Xianbei and the western Xianbei, he is likely to move his troops east to solve the eastern Xianbei.One is that some people think that the Son of Heaven will return to Hedong, ready to return to the old capital and restore the Central Plains.

No matter which result it is, it is not good news for Yuan Shao.

He had besieged Gongsun Zan for nearly two years, and seeing that victory was in sight, if the emperor led his troops to the east at this time and he was forced to withdraw his troops, the efforts of the past two years would be in vain.

There was not much time left for him.

"Yuan Hao, Gong Yu, what can I do?" Yuan Shao turned to look at Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and asked as calmly as possible.

"The top priority is to cut off Gongsun Zan's contact with the outside world, so that he cannot get news from the imperial court." Tian Feng frowned. "If Gongsun Zan declares himself a minister to the court, Xun You will definitely come to his aid. He has recuperated for a year, and his strength has greatly increased. We must guard against it."

"Wouldn't Gongsun Zan come if he didn't accept the title?" Yuan Shao asked with a wry smile.

Although Liu He didn't have a clear attitude, the attitude of Xian Yufu and others was very clear. They only wanted to avenge Liu Yu and didn't want to have too much entanglement with Yuan Shao.If Xun You is willing to send troops, they will definitely welcome Xun You into the customs.What Liu He thought, they no longer considered.

"My lord, it is precisely because Xun You will come at any time that we must take down Gongsun Zan. Otherwise, Gongsun Zan and Xun You will join forces, and the prestige will be revived, and Jizhou will be defeated without any danger. Even if the lord wants to become a minister, I am afraid there will be no chance."

Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng, very unhappy.

Who said I was going to surrender?It is clear that you were frightened and began to plan your own way out, sacrificing me for the sake of preserving the interests of Jizhou.Speaking of it, it's quite simple. The emperor's biological mother, Wang Meiren, is a native of Zhao, and he has half of Jizhou's blood.

Yuan Shao's mood became more and more depressed, he turned around and got off the high platform.

Tian Feng and Jushou looked at each other and sighed in unison.

After a while, Tian Feng asked: "Gongyu, is there any news from your clan brother recently?"

Jushou looked around calmly, seeing that Yuan Shao had gone far, he let out a sigh of relief. "The news is there, but it is not optimistic. The emperor is in Xiu Tuze, and he is in Wugongqing. Gan Gang is arbitrary and trusts the people of Liangzhou. In the battle of Xiu Tuze, Han Sui was the leader of the outer battle, beheading Yan Chi, the commander of the wild wolf tribe. , as the first merit. In the future when the emperor goes east, Han Sui is likely to be the main general."

"Han Sui." Tian Feng shook his head. "What kind of world is this? The rebel ministers in Xiliang became pillars, but the loyal ministers were treated coldly. The emperor puts the cart before the horse, and I'm afraid he will be violent in the future."

Ju Shou hesitated to speak, he did not agree with Tian Feng's opinion.

Although the emperor used Liangzhou people heavily, he held great power, and it was he who dominated the situation, not Liangzhou people.According to the news from Ju Jun, the Son of Heaven has achieved remarkable results in promoting enlightenment in the Liangzhou army. It not only improved the combat effectiveness, but also eliminated the hostility of many Liangzhou people.

Troubled warriors like Dong Zhuo and Li Jue will never appear again. This is not only a good thing for the court, but also a good thing for the entire Han Dynasty.

Facts have proved that the root cause of Liangzhou's chaos for nearly a hundred years is not that Liangzhou people are naturally chaotic, but that the imperial court's strategy to control Liangzhou is unlawful.The imperial court would abandon Liangzhou at every turn and regard the people of Liangzhou as barbarians, how could the people of Liangzhou really support the imperial court?
If the Son of Heaven changes course, establishes a foothold in Liangzhou, educates Liangzhou, and the chaos in Liangzhou is easily resolved, then only [-] steps can be used to defeat the [-] people of Xianbei in the west.

From Ju Jun's letter, it can be seen that although the veterans were dissatisfied with the status quo, they deeply admired the emperor's strategy of curing the cold, and sighed that they turned rot into magic.They were not worried that the Son of Heaven would be militaristic. Instead, they felt that the Son of Heaven would face up to difficulties and do what others could not do. Only in this way can they stop fighting and win if they fight, and it is a great victory.

In contrast, Yuan Shao is simply a wave of war.

If the emperor goes east, does Yuan Shao have a chance to win?

In his opinion, not at all.

So, what should Jizhou do?Where should Ju's go?

After thinking for a while, Ju Shou asked, "Brother Yuan Hao, if the Son of Heaven sends his troops eastward, how can we defend against the enemy?"

Tian Feng sneered: "Gongyu, let me make a bet with you."

"What are you gambling?"

"In three years, the Son of Heaven will not go east."

Jushou was surprised. "How did you see that?"

"Think for yourself." Tian Feng flicked his sleeves and left the stage.
