Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 193 Zhang Jiong’s Last Plan for Yuan Shu (2)

After sending Yuan Huan and Qu'a away, Yuan Shu became restless and kept sending people to inquire about the news of Lujiang. As a result, he soon got a report that Zhou Cang occupied Lujiang. He only knew that Zhou Cang seized the city at night, and the specific reason was not clear.

Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair blankly, and murmured, "It's over, it's over, there's nothing left. Someone call Zhang Jiong over!"

Zhang Jiong prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am really ashamed that I can't share your worries for Your Majesty."

"What to do? What do you say? The Lujiang River is gone!" Yuan Shu pointed at Zhang Jiong's nose and asked, "Don't talk about that, I'll ask you what to do now!"

"Now the only thing that can turn the tide of disaster is the east." Zhang Jiong said the strategy he had thought up long ago, "You can only wrong your Majesty to endure the humiliation for the time being."

"Move east? Where to move?"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is the most powerful person in the world right now. Only by turning the blame on Yuan Shao can we have a chance to breathe."

"Well, it's best to turn the blame on Yuan Shao. But how?"

"Your Majesty give up the title of emperor...Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu! Your Majesty can give him the title of emperor and make him the target of the princes."

"What? Let it out? Let it go to Yuan Shao!"

"Exactly. At the beginning, Yuan Shao wanted to enlist Liu Yu. This shows that he had an idea long ago, but he didn't have enough power. Now that he has more power, he will naturally do so."

"I understand what you mean. But how could Yuan Shao agree?"

"If you want Yuan Shao to agree, His Majesty has to part with you... As long as Your Majesty gives Yuan Shao the Imperial Seal, how can Yuan Shao not be tempted?" Zhang Jiong said, "At that time, Your Majesty will decree the world to abdicate and give up the imperial title and the jade seal to Yuan Shao." Yuan Shao, the princes of the world will naturally turn their attention from His Majesty to Yuan Shao."

Yuan Shu was fooled. He fell into the trap of his own logical thinking. He never understood that his proclaiming himself emperor was just an excuse for the princes to besiege him. One point, some people are ugly.He really thought that giving up Yuxi and Dihao would save him.

"Bold! Are you asking me to take refuge with this house slave?" Yuan Shu yelled at the case.

"Of course not, just give him the emperor title, and His Majesty will take it back at that time." Zhang Jionghan has come down, brother is it easy. "Your Majesty, not only that, this is only the first step, and there is still a plan for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest."

Yuan Shu sat down slowly after a while, "Continue!"

"His eldest son Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou now. I heard that Yuan Shao loves his youngest son Yuan Shang and distances himself from Yuan Tan. As the eldest son, Yuan Tan must be dissatisfied. Your Majesty can go to Qingzhou to support Yuan Tan..." Zhang Jiong swallowed. "Yuan Tan is very brave. It took less than half a year to wipe out Qingzhou. With soldiers and generals in his hands, he can accomplish great things. I also heard that Yuan Tan has the support of Yingchuan nobles. Guo Tu and Xin Ping all support Yuan Tan."

"Wait first, let me think about it, let me think about it." Yuan Shu interrupted Zhang Jiong, picked up the wine bottle filled with honey water and drank it in one gulp. "And why should I support Yuan Tan?"

"Yuan Tan is able to compete with Yuan Shang if he gets His Majesty's help. After he succeeds, Yuan Tan is still not grateful to His Majesty? At that time, Yuan Shao was powerless. His Majesty will put Yuan Shao under house arrest and support Yuan Tan. Whether he stays or abolishes him is not all in His Majesty's mind." Between? The Chuanguo Yuxi will return to His Majesty."

Zhang Jiong's words made Yuan Shu ready to move.What a good idea, Yuan Shao would never have thought that he would do this.But when Yuan Shu held the jade seal with both hands, his heart ached. It was like cutting his heart. Several times he wanted to put the jade seal down, but couldn't help but pick it up again.

"Your Majesty's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I am willing to go to Jizhou and Qingzhou to persuade Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan." Zhang Jiong volunteered.

"After you arrive in Jizhou, you have to make good contacts with the nobles in Jizhou, and win over Guo Tu and Xin Ping from Yingchuan to see if they can be used by me." Yuan Shu chattered endlessly, still daydreaming, Zhang Jiong couldn't bear his temper Nod yes.

"Your Majesty, do you need to bring some more gifts?"

"No need, it is enough to have the Jade Seal of Chuanguo." No wonder Yuan Shu is stingy, he is really poor now.

Yuan Shu was reluctant to give up again and again, but still handed over the jade seal to his confidant eunuch, and sent two personal guards to accompany Zhang Jiong to see Yuan Shao.After paying his respects, Zhang Jiong took a meaningful look at Yuan Shu, who was still in a trance, and turned to leave.

After Zhang Jiong traveled fifty miles, he met Zhou Chong and Zhou Xi, who were sent by Zhou Cang to support him. Together, the three of them killed the eunuch and guards who held the seal, and turned to Lujiang.

The city of Lujiang is vast, and the former governor of Lujiang, Lu Kang, was well-governed, with a dense population and rich people. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to fight Sun Ce for two years before being defeated.After Zhou Cang entered the city, he sighed endlessly. If Qu'a hadn't supported him in the city, it would have been impossible to win Lujiang.

It took nearly two months to send troops from Guangling, and the month before that, we were on the road and wiped out the enemy in the first battle, and then came to Lujiang with lightning speed, and then we did not attack the city for more than ten days, overnight. Occupy Lujiang, I don't know if this battle will become a classic example.Zhou Cang suddenly caught a glimpse of Qu A standing beside him, and was full of curiosity about him. Where did Qu A come from? Could it be that he is also a time-traveling character? "Wine and song, life geometry?"

Qu'a looked blank, but Dian Wei asked, "Does my lord want to drink?"

The trial failed.Zhou Cang had no choice but to say: "Let's go and drink together." But Dian Wei said: "I'll go and get Pei Yuanshao. I promise Qu'a to teach him how to use a halberd."

"Well, okay." Zhou Cang was taken aback for a moment, it was rare for Dian Wei to be patient enough to teach others. "By the way, Qu'a, do you know who are the masters of using halberds?"

"I've only heard of Nangong Changwan in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jia Fu in this dynasty, and the current Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, General Dian Wei and Gan Ning."

"Have you ever heard of Xue Rengui?"

"Never heard of it."

Zhou Cang nodded, it seems that Qu A does not seem to be a time traveler, at least not after the Tang Dynasty. "The general who uses the whip, do you know Yuchi Jingde?"

Qu A shook his head.

"What about Wen Yuan?"

"I have never heard of the two people my lord mentioned." Qu A said.More than 30 years later, when Qu A took in a disciple, he wondered how Zhou Cang knew about it.

"Then you go." Zhou Cang said.

Qu'a also has a serious report: "My lord, according to the lord's strategy to take down Lujiang, there are still 2000 soldiers in the city, and Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, Yuan Huan, Yuan Shuzhi's younger brother, and Liu Ye, Liu Xun's aide, will be captured alive." , there are 50 stones of grain and grass in the city, and countless weapons and armors, how to deal with it is up to the lord to decide."

made money!Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhou Wen applauded.Zhou Cang ordered Xu Huang and Xu Sheng to reorganize the surrendered troops. Together with Lejiu's surrendered troops, a total of 7000 troops were sent down. Excluding the old, young, sick and disabled, there were still 1 people. All the eliminated troops were arranged to be farmed.

Zhou Cang asked Qu A again, "What's the situation with these three captives?"
