Chapter 269 Ye Xiao's Coping Method

Chapter 269 Ye Xiao's Coping Method

As for Liu Xun, under the persuasion of Zhao Yun and his younger brother, he decided to join Ye Xiao.

In Yanzhou City, Ye Xiao, who was sitting in the mansion, received the information from Jin Yiwei.

Through Jin Yiwei's information, it was known that Yuan Shu had shrunk the entire army after experiencing the loss of Lujiang.

Focus on defending against Ye Xiao's attack, as for the south of Yangzhou, he has completely given up.

Not only that, Sun Ce and Liu Bei stopped marching after occupying the two counties respectively, and now Luling County is completely empty.

Looking at this information, Ye Xiao frowned. Originally, he planned to use Yuan Shu to consume Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

However, Yuan Shu's concentrated defense increased Ye Xiao's consumption.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Zhang Liang walked in, looked at Ye Xiao who was frowning tightly and asked.

"Yuan Shao has already abandoned the southern part of Yangzhou and hoarded all his troops in the north. Liu Bei and Sun Ce don't know what happened. After occupying other counties and cities, they left Luling County empty. Neither side sent troops to occupy it. It seems that we There are some changes to the plan."

Zhang Liang's first reaction when he heard the news was to guess Yuan Shu's intention.

"My lord, this will put a lot of pressure on Sloan and the others. Do you want to send them the new weapons we made in Yuzhou?"

The new type of weapon Zhang Liang mentioned was the cannon invented by Song Yingxing.

After many tests, the performance of the artillery has stabilized, but now only three artillery pieces have been built.

Ye Xiao hasn't decided who to share these three cannons with. After all, all the generals have seen the power of the cannons in an experiment, and everyone wants it.

Now Zhao Yun was under a lot of pressure, so Ye Xiao decided to have the artillery from Yuzhou delivered to Zhao Yun's barracks.

It takes about three days to travel by water from Yuzhou to Xuzhou.

Three days passed quickly, Song Yingxing's student Song Qi escorted the artillery to the place where Zhao Yun was.

"General Zhao, this is the latest weapon developed by Yuzhou. It is called artillery. My lord asked me to give it to you."

Zhao Yun looked at this pure copper thing and didn't know how to use it for a while, so he turned to Song Qi.

"How to use this thing?"

Song Qi stepped forward and gave Zhao Yun an overview of how to use the cannon, and told Zhao Yun that I was afraid that after firing five rounds at most, there would be a danger of explosion.

After explaining these things, Song Qi left.

"General, Yuan Shu has now hoarded his troops in the Huaihe River area. There are many waterways in the Huaihe River area. The network of waterways is complex and intertwined, which is not suitable for cavalry operations on a large scale. If we want to break through Yuan Shu, we must find other ways."

It was none other than Liu Xun who spoke.

Liu Xun joined Ye Xiao under the persuasion of his younger brothers Liu Gui and Zhao Yun. He was worried that Zhao Yun would look down on him because he was a surrendered general, but after getting along with him for a few days, Liu Xun found that Zhao Yun was not because of him. Belittling or satirizing him because of his status.

"The biggest problem we are facing now is Yangzhou. If there is a way to take down such a serious army in Yangzhou, in my eyes, it is nothing more than a chicken and a dog."

There is nothing wrong with Zhao Yun's analysis. Yangzhou is south of the Huaihe River. As long as Yangzhou is captured, the entire Huaihe River will belong to Ye Xiao.

In this way, with the support of the Huaihe River system, it would be more convenient for Ye Xiao to transport grain from the north, or to attack based on the Huaihe River.

Of course Yuan Shu also knew this, which is why he hoarded his troops in the Huai River area.

"General, Li Feng, the prefect of Yangzhou, and I are old acquaintances. If the general can be trusted, I am willing to sneak into the city of Yangzhou and persuade Li Feng to sacrifice Yangzhou."

Liu Xun stepped forward and said to Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately fell silent. After seeing all the information of Yuan Shu's generals and counselors, and through the investigation of Jin Yiwei, he was very clear about it.

Li Feng is quite greedy, but he is loyal to Yuan Shu.

"I've heard of Li Feng as a literati. Although Taylor has always been loyal to Yuan Shu, he has always been loyal to the vineyard. He likes to use this to persuade him to surrender. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, and he will be in danger instead. Don't mention this matter again."

When Liu Xun heard Zhao Yun's words, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He didn't expect that as a defeated general, he could still be favored by Zhao Yun, so he stepped forward and said.

"General, please give me this chance. As long as the general allows me to sneak into the city, then I will have a way to persuade him to divorce. Even if the persuasion fails, I will have a way to capture Li Feng. In this way, the general can lead his soldiers to capture Yangzhou."

"Oh, how do you capture Li Feng?"

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Xun suspiciously and said.

"To tell you the truth, general, I have worked under Yuan Shu's account for many years, and I have risen a lot through military merits, and I have made friends with quite a few people. I know people in every city where Yuan Shao lives, and there happened to be one in this city of Yangzhou. My good friend, he is working as a corps leader in Yangzhou city."

"Oh, is this person reliable?"

At this time, Zhao Yun was still worried about the danger of Liu Xin after he left, so he asked Liu Xun.

"This man was caught because he was fond of gambling when he was young, and he was almost beaten to death. It is because I paid for him to pay off his gambling debts and found him a job in the army that he has his current official position."

Hearing what Liu Xun said, Zhao Yun nodded and was relieved that the ancient times still valued this kind of kindness.

"Okay, then I will let someone send you into Yangzhou tonight, but you must remember that if you are in danger or cannot complete this task, you must withdraw as soon as possible, and you must not be brave. It is only a matter of time before Yangzhou City is taken. If you are lost in the city, our loss will be great."

What Zhao Yun said may sound a little hypocritical to outsiders, but in fact, what he said is not false at all. Liu Xun has been an official with Yuan Shu for a long time, and he is very familiar with the governance of Yangzhou, and the officials are also very familiar.

Although it is said that Ye Xiao will carry out certain reforms after taking over Yangzhou, the premise of these reforms is also based on the construction of Yangzhou after the baptism of war.

In order to build Yangzhou, the cooperation of local aristocratic families or old bureaucrats in Yangzhou is necessary, and Liu Xin is the best candidate. "Yes, the general will go here, and I will fulfill my mission and help the general take down Yangzhou!"

As Liu Xun talked, he found that the corners of his eyes were a little moist. Except for her parents and his younger brother Liu Gui, no one had ever worried about his life so much over the years.

Even if Meteor knew at this time that Zhao Yun said this just to win him over and reassure him that there was some hypocrisy, but since Liu Xing has been with him for so many years, Yuan Shu has never said such a thing to him, even if he went to let him pretend this time. Cannon fodder, Yuan Shu didn't say goodbye to him.

Everything was ready that night, Liu Xun put on his night clothes, and sneaked into Yangzhou City under the cover of a group of soldiers.
