Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 234 Yuan Shu's Heart Bewitched

Yuan Shu laughed and nodded, "You're right, how is Lu Bu worthy to occupy the land of Xuzhou, come here, pass the order..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Xiang, the master of Huainan, hurriedly stood up and said loudly, "My lord, absolutely not."

Seeing someone preventing him from occupying Xuzhou, Yuan Shu was furious, "Master Yan, why did you say something to stop him?"

Yan Xiang hastily cupped his hands, "My lord, after repeated battles, our army has lost a lot of troops. In addition, we have consumed too much food. The treasury is already empty, so we really can't support the war anymore?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned, turned to look at Yang Hong, and asked slowly, "Yang Zong, are you serious?"

Yang Hong hurriedly handed over his hand, "Lord, although our army has spent a lot of money, Huainan has a vast territory and abundant resources, and the people are rich. As long as we collect it by force, we will definitely be able to raise enough food."

Hearing Yang Hong's suggestion, Yan Xiang was furious immediately, and gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Zong, after several times of forced food collection, the people are already miserable, and there is no more food left. What can we use to collect it?"

Yang Hong snorted coldly, "Master Yan, don't you know that this opportunity must never be missed?"

Having said that, Yang Hongdun paused, and said loudly without waiting for Yan Xiang to answer his own words.

"Lord Yan, after several battles, our army suffered heavy losses, but Xuzhou's losses were not small. Now the comparison is persistence. Whoever can persist longer will win the final victory.

Now Xuzhou is empty, and the person who came to garrison Xuzhou is an unknown person. Once such a good opportunity is missed, it will be too late when Lu Bu leads his troops to Xuzhou. "

Yang Hong turned to Yuan Shu and cupped his hands, "My lord, the people of Huainan are indeed suffering a little. However, in order to help my lord get Xuzhou as soon as possible, even if it is a little harder, I think it is worth it."

Hearing these words, Yan Xiang gritted his teeth in anger, "Yang Zong, don't you really care about the lives of the people?"

Yang Hong arched his hands, "Master Yan, don't you want the lord to get Xuzhou as soon as possible?"

"I?"

Yan Xiang didn't expect that Yang Hong would ask this question, so he couldn't help being stunned, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the opportunity is rare, we must stabilize the hearts of the people to continue."

Yang Hong waved a finger in front of his face, and said with a sneer, "Master Yan, don't you understand what it means to never miss an opportunity?"

Speaking of this, a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of Yang Hong's mouth, "Lord Yan, most of them are in the city, and they don't know about the fighting outside, so I can forgive you.

I just want to tell you that if you follow your method, when the people are rich, I am afraid that Lu Bu has already led troops to station in Xiaopei. At that time, even if you spend more money and food, I am afraid that Xuzhou will not be easily obtained.

Instead, it will cost less money to attack Xuzhou now, Master Yan, don't you understand? "

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing, "Yang Zong, you're right, fighting this battle now will indeed cost less than it will in the future."

Having said that, Yuan Shu raised his head to look at Yan Xiang, and said slowly, "Master Yan, I will let you handle the matter of collecting food."

"what?"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Xiang was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly said, "My lord, after repeated wars, the people are already in dire straits, so where are we going to collect food?"

Yuan Shu frowned, his face turned cold, "Master Yan, can't you do it?"

Yan Xiang sighed, "Master, this matter is really difficult."

Yuan Shu was displeased, snorted coldly, turned to look at Yang Hong, and asked slowly, "Yang Zong, can you do it?"

Yang Hong hurriedly cupped his hands, "As long as the lord tells me, even if I go through fire and water, I will definitely do it."

When Yuan Shu heard Yang Hong's answer, Yuan Shu nodded in satisfaction, "Yang Zong, since that's the case, this matter is up to you to raise food as soon as possible, and then send troops to Xuzhou."

After saying this, Yuan Shu laughed loudly, "This time, Xuzhou must be captured."

He has always wanted Xuzhou for a long time, and since he came to Huainan, he has been thinking about Xuzhou, but it is a pity that he has not obtained it for a long time.

Now, Xuzhou has changed hands repeatedly, it is a weak time, and this is also the best time to take Xuzhou.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Yanzhou."

Yuan Shu heard that it was news from Yanzhou, his eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "Tell me."

"Young Master Qingzhou has brought [-] troops to Juye, Yanzhou."

"Jizhou soldiers and horses have also been led by general Yan Liang, a total of 5 people, heading towards Puyang."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, that's really great news."

There was also a flash of joy in Yang Hong's eyes, he cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "My lord is truly blessed, if you want to take Xuzhou, Jizhou sent troops to contain Lu Bu, what a godsend opportunity.

My lord, in this way, when our army attacks Xuzhou, we no longer have to worry about Lu Bu coming to support us, and we can easily take Xuzhou. "

"support."

Yuan Shu sneered disdainfully, "Jizhou and Qingzhou have mobilized a total of [-] troops. Do you think Lu Bu can stop these [-] troops?"

Hearing this, Yang Hong hurriedly cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "My lord is still wise. You can tell at a glance that Lu Bu will be hard to resist this time. Maybe, under this attack, Lu Bu's army will be completely wiped out." , when the time comes, who else will support Xuzhou."

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, as long as Lu Bu doesn't come to support Xuzhou, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to block the attack with Xuzhou's strength alone."

Yang Hong suddenly smiled, "My lord, Jizhou and Qingzhou jointly attacked Yanzhou, and Lu Bu was caught off guard.

Why don't we follow this example and attack Xuzhou. "

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he turned to look at Yang Hong, and asked with a smile, "Yang Zong, do you have a good idea?"

Yang Hong clasped his hands and said slowly, "Although Lu Bu has occupied Xuzhou now, it's just Xiapi and Pengcheng. Leaving Donghai and Langya County aside, we can join forces with Guangling to attack Xuzhou together.

Our army's two-way attack, the Xuzhou army that is bound to be able to fight, will be caught off guard and difficult to deal with. If you want to win a big victory, it will be easy. "

Although Guangling has always been under the rule of Xuzhou, it was forcibly controlled by Yuan Shu.

Therefore, Guangling may not necessarily carry out Xuzhou's order, but Guangling will definitely carry out Yuan Shu's order.

Hearing this, Yuan Shu was overjoyed and nodded with a smile, "In that case, immediately send an order to Guangling to send troops to attack Xuzhou together."
