Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 264
Chapter 264
When Ye Xiao said this, he paused for a while, and Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up and said.

"What my husband means is that let's free up our hands first and clean up Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao brothers, and then at that time, the Sun and Liu families are exhausted from fighting before going out to kill them."

"Ovary is the one who understands me."

At night, the autumn wind followed by an autumn rain brought the autumn wind.

It's just that Ye Xiao, who was standing indoors, felt a chill. He walked to the place where the clothes were hung, put on the clothes, and his body became a little warmer.

"I didn't expect the weather in the north to be so changeable. It only rained a few days ago, and it has been falling again in the past few days. This continuous rain seriously hindered the march."

Looking at the rain pouring down outside, Zhang Liang turned around and complained to Ye Xiao.

"We can't control the weather. We can only say that Yuan Shu is lucky. The two heavy rains gave him enough time to prepare. Even so, he is not an opponent of our three coalition forces."

After Ye Xiao's appeal against Yuan Shu was issued, Liu Bei and Sun Ce raised troops to respond one after another. The Sun and Liu families set out from the south to attack Yuan Shu in the south of Yangzhou, while Ye Xiao sent Zhao Yun and others to attack the north.

Not only that, the three families also negotiated the route of each family's advance, the purpose of which is to join forces on the Yangtze River.

It can be seen that the north has been raining heavily for several days, and the south must also be raining continuously. The muddy road gave Yuan Shu enough time to prepare for defense.

This is why Ye Xiao said Yuan Shu was lucky.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu, after he proclaimed himself emperor, searched for beautiful women every day, exploited the common people, piled up wealth and beautiful women, all in the palace.

All the ministers under him dared to oppose Yuan Shao, they were dismissed from office or beheaded. For a while, people in Yangzhou were panicked.

The people closed their doors tightly, for fear of being plundered by Yuan Shu again, but Yuan Shu not only did not intend to reflect on himself, but even worsened.

It wasn't until Ye Xiao issued an appeal against Yuan Shu in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty that Yuan Shu woke up from the emperor's big dream, and hurriedly dispatched troops and stationed troops everywhere to prepare for defense.

He also wrote a letter to his elder brother Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would send troops from the north to help him. In order to obtain Yuan Shao's help letter, Yuan Shu put his status very low for the first time, and even expressed his willingness to give up the jade seals of the whole country.

The two most capable fighters under Yuan Shu's tent were Ji Ling and Zhang Xun. Whenever Yuan Shao was in danger, he would directly hand over the military power to them.

And they continued to increase their ranks and rewards, but the situation is different now. Ji Ling lost his right arm fighting power in the last fight with Ye Yong, and he is already at the level of a middle-level general.

At this time, the only one under Yuan Shu who can provoke the leader is Zhang Xun.

At the same time Zhang Xun told Yuan Shu that they didn't have enough soldiers if they wanted to defend the entire Yangzhou.

So Yuan Shu made a foolish move. He listened to his subordinate Yang Hong's strategy and began to arrest young men all over Yangzhou. All men over the age of 13 were forced into the army by Yuan Shu.

The effect was obvious, Yuan Shu's army expanded from 40 to more than 60 in an instant, but this also has its disadvantages, that is, a large number of young and strong were recruited into the army, and no one was harvesting food in the autumn harvest.

In other words, after this battle, no matter whether Yuan Shu was defeated or won, the fertile land in Yangzhou would be abandoned, which would be a huge blow to Yuan Shu's income.

The heavy rain lasted for five consecutive days before it stopped. The dense roads prevented everyone from marching, and the coalition forces could not join forces.

Ye Xiao was bored staying in Shangjun, so he called Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Ran Min, Zhang Liang and others to Shangjun for dinner.

"Oh, everyone is here, please sit down quickly. Today, I invite everyone to have a meal, and discuss how to deal with the Yuan brothers."

Ye Xiao got up and waved his hands to signal everyone to sit down.

Everyone found their seats and sat down. Ye Xiao turned towards one direction. There stood a man wearing a long gown. Ye Xiao looked up and found that the man was well dressed but extremely ugly.

"Dare to ask who this is?"

Ye Xiao pointed to the man standing in the distance and said.

"My lord, this is a distant nephew of mine who came to join me because of the war in Jingzhou."

Ye Xiao looked at the person who spoke, and found that this person was none other than Pang Long, the prefect of Shangjun.

"Oh, I think this person has a strange appearance. I wonder if there is something special about him?"

When the ancients saw a person with a strange appearance, they would think that such a person had something special. For example, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms was a character whose earlobe was over his shoulders and his hands were over his knees.

There is also the so-called portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang passed down from later generations. Zhu Yuanzhang also has a huge shoehorn face.

Of course, Ye Xiao knew that these were just some modification of the image of the predecessors from later generations.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao, the prefect of Shangjun, wanted to meet his nephew, and immediately motioned for the man beside him to introduce him.

The man didn't refuse either, he took two steps forward, came to the center of the banquet, and cupped his hands to Ye Xiao.

"My surname is Pang, my name is Tong, and my surname is Yuan Jingzhou."

Ye Xiao didn't expect this person to be Pang Tong, one of the young phoenix called Wolong by Mr. Shui Jing.

"If I remember correctly, the Pang family can be regarded as a well-known family in Jingzhou. If that's the case, why did you go to Uncle?"

In ancient times, few people were willing to leave home to seek refuge with their distant relatives.

Generally, when this happens, it is only when one’s own family can’t survive that they come to seek refuge.

Hearing Ye Xiaozheng's question, Pang Tong stepped forward and said.

"Returning to General Ye, after Liu Biao's death, the land of Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Cai family, and Yuan Shao sent troops to support Liu Qi. Especially with the assistance of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, he instantly regained the position of the Lord of Jingzhou."

"However, Liu Qi's refusal to listen to his advice led to a war between Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Jingzhou was defeated and Liu Qi was captured. Liu Bei took the opportunity to gather the power of the big families. As Liu Cong's loyal supporters, my huge family was regarded as a dissident by Liu Bei. He suppressed me. It's unbearable. After being humiliated, he ran out of Jingzhou."

When Ye Xiao heard Pang Tong's words, he was overjoyed and thought of Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande.

After all your calculations, you haven't counted that the phoenix chick you worked so hard to find is by your side, and you even sent him to me.

That being the case, I will accept it unceremoniously.

"As for the excellence that General Ye mentioned, I can't talk about it. It's just that I have studied in Jinnan for a few years."

When Ye Xiao heard what Pang Tong said, he knew that if he wanted to regain Pang Tong, he still needed to spend a little effort.

"My lord, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and everyone is here. The banquet can begin."

Seeing that Ye Xiao wanted to continue talking, Zhang Liang immediately stepped forward and whispered in Ye Xiao's ear.

Ye Xiao also reacted at this time, waved his hand immediately, sat up straight, looked at the audience and said.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet."
