Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 61
Yuan He, Yuan Shu's confidant servant.

This time Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling's [-] troops to occupy the East China Sea, Lingbi, and Guangling City under the banner of aiding Lu Bu's army.

These three places belonged to the south of Xuzhou. Yuan Shu took advantage of the winter to strike first, which was the same as Zhang Liao's plan to capture Pengcheng.

It's just that after Yuan Shu won the three cities, he was afraid that Lu Bu would fight him desperately, so he took the initiative to send Yuan He to negotiate.

Yuan He received his master's instruction, so he didn't need to be too modest when he came to Lu Bu, as he was backed by such a huge force.

So he was very high-profile along the way, publicizing the news that Yuan Shu's army was under pressure and had descended on the three cities of Xuzhou.

The three cities of Xuzhou were originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty was left behind, the prefect was incompetent, and they were in a state of no armament at all.

Yuan Shu dispatched Ji Ling's [-] troops, which was obviously an overkill to demonstrate his own strength.

"Where's Marquis Wen? I'm Yilang Yuan He, under the command of Hu Ben Zhonglang. My lord has important orders this time, why don't you hurry up and call him out?"

Yuan He's expression was very haughty, looking at the extremely rudimentary conference hall, he couldn't help showing contempt in his eyes.

"Bold! Be rude in front of my lord, are you impatient?"

Liao Hua has a bad temper, and has long been disgusted with the other party's arrogant attitude, so he almost rushed up and stabbed the other party.

"Hehe, you dare to call yourself the lord in a small place! Seeing that you are so big, you really want to hit me, come on? Let's see how my lord will find justice for me!"

Yuan He shouted confidently, he was used to dominating Jiujiang with his back against Yuan Shu, and couldn't help showing his true nature.

"Yuan He! What is there to say about Yuan Shu sending you here? Could it be that he is willing to give me the three places in Xuzhou?"

Ye Xiao's voice implied anger, and the majesty of the lord of an army slowly pressed down on the opponent.

Seeing this, Yuan He didn't dare to go too far, and said what Yuan Shu taught him.

"My lord came here with an army to help you resist Cao Cao, not to occupy the three cities of Guangling."

No one can believe this to coax children!

Resist Cao Cao, you can directly attack Cao Cao's hometown Qiaocheng from Jiujiang via Shouchun, why go around in circles to the southeast?
Ye Xiao suppressed his anger and stood up slowly.

"Stop talking nonsense. I, Ye Xiaojun, are not made of soft persimmons. If Yuan Gonggong told you to say these things, please go back and see you on the battlefield!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's tough attitude, Yuan He said angrily.

"You savages really don't know good from bad, you just don't accept my lord's good intentions, and you dare to threaten war!"

"Forget it, this envoy came here this time because my lord asked Lu Bu to send his daughter to my young lord to marry him. If you are still obsessed with it, don't blame our soldiers for coming to the city!"

Ye Xiao walked up to Liao Hua, and suddenly pulled out his saber.

"You want to die, don't you?"

"My lord, calm down!"

Chen Gong hurriedly came out to persuade, after all, Yuan He represented Yuan Shu, if the two armies did not fight each other, if the rules were broken, the situation would become endless.

However, if someone wants to die, even Lord Yama can't stop him.

Seeing Ye Xiao glaring at him angrily, Yuan He stretched out his neck and shouted, "Come on! Kill me! I, Yuan He, frowned and counted on me!"

Ye Xiao raised his knife and crossed Chen Gong, before he finished speaking, he slashed towards the neck.

Liao Hua's treasured sword was extremely sharp, Yuan He's head fell to the ground, and the bloody arrows spurting out of his neck were more than a foot high.

"Forgive! Forgive! Forgive, General!"

Yuan He's entourage lay limp on the ground, seeing the bloodstains all over the ground in front of him, he was terrified.

Ye Xiao returned the treasured sword to Liao Hua, and Liao Hua laughed.

Liao Hua almost couldn't help beheading the old man just now. He didn't know where the other party got the confidence to act wildly in front of Ye Xiao.

"Hey! My lord is impulsive." After all, Chen Gong is a literati, and he can't bear this bloody scene.

"I did this at his request. Didn't you hear that Yuan He taught me to kill him?"

Ye Xiao walked up to Yuan He's entourage and looked at him with a smile.

"Pull it out for me! Clean it up!"

The guards outside the door rushed in and quickly cleaned up the blood in the meeting hall.

Ye Xiao slowly sat back at the head of the meeting hall, his face darkened.

"Gongtai, Yuan Gonglu is too deceitful. It is useless for us to back down and endure."

Seeing that Ye Xiao regained his senses, Chen Gong sighed and said, "But we are so embarrassing, it's not easy to arrange the next strategy."

Liao Hua raised an objection: "Gongtai, just now this fellow uttered wild words and dared to speak ill of my lord and princess's mother. My old Liao wished to hack him to death with a single knife, but my lord's sword skills are better than the last general's."

"Haha!" Ye Xiao laughed loudly, "Gongtai and Zizhong, although you are on the second line, you must understand the truth behind Yuan Jian's words. If you can't explain clearly, you have to fight! Fight until the other party is convinced. !"

Chen Gong and Mi Zhu looked at each other, both showing wry smiles, they did think a lot.

Mi Zhu clasped his hands together, and murmured, "My lord, the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Benchu ​​is entrenched in Hebei, Yuan Gonggong controls half of Yangzhou, and his army is as strong as a cloud. The subordinates just feel that now is not the time to head-on."

"Hmph, Yuan Gonggong's grave is nothing more than a dry bone. If he had the ability, he wouldn't be forced to retreat to Yangzhou by Cao Cao! This man has great ambitions, but he is not worthy of benevolence. I estimate that Yuan Gonggong will die within two years at the most!"

Chen Gong and Mi Zhu's expressions changed, Gao Shun was also lost in thought, only Liao Hua felt that Yuan Shu's death was a good thing, and showed a simple and honest smile.

"My lord, why did you make such a judgment? Could it be that my lord thinks that Jiangdong Sun Ce has the courage to regain the ancestral property of General Polu who borrowed troops that day?"

Chen Gong wiped his beard, vaguely feeling that Ye Xiao was playing a big chess game.

Ye Xiao looked at Chen Gong and laughed softly.

"What Gongtai said was only one of them. When Sun Jian retreated to Jiangdong, Yuan Shu snatched his jade seal."

"Yuan Shu is brave and unstoppable, favors courtiers, and is lecherous. He has obtained the jade seal for so long, maybe there will be some crazy actions. It is a signal that he sent troops to occupy the three cities of Guangling for no reason."

"The jade seal is the emperor's keepsake, maybe Yuan Shu and I will become emperor."

"proclaim oneself emperor?"

Chen Gong was horrified. It was rumored that Yuan Shu had indeed obtained the jade seal from Sun Jian, but the title of the Han Dynasty had not changed. If Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor, he would be digging his own grave.

"My lord, if Yuan Shu is really so insane, then there is really nothing to worry about."

Mi Zhu is also a smart person, and immediately figured out the key to this.

That is, when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Cao must be the first to disagree with the recognition, and he must make a big call to the princes of the world to crusade.

At that time, no matter how strong Yuan Shu is, there will only be one end.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that we need to make preparations as soon as possible. Anyway, Yuan Shu has already declared war, so we need to regain the initiative." Mi Zhu said with bright eyes.

"Zizhong's words are very kind!"

Ye Xiao has enough money and food now, so he really needs to expand his army.

"Gao Shun, you are limited to train [-] new troops within three months, and Zizhong will be responsible for all the necessary supplies and soldiers."

"Yes! My lord, don't worry!"

Gao Shun accepted the task confidently, and Mi Zhu also smiled and nodded.

"Gongtai! Aiming at Guangling Jiling's 5 horses, we will start preparing a battle plan from now on. I want to recover the three cities in one fell swoop and pacify Xuzhou!"

"Yes! My lord, we must take back the Guangling three places!"

Ye Xiao nodded and looked at Liao Hua, "Liao Hua, your [-]-year-old army must strengthen training, and next spring will be the vanguard to attack Yuan Shu!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Liao Hua was ecstatic, and finally had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and he was also a vanguard.

"Gongtai, work hard and start investigating Ji Lingjun tomorrow. Be sure to find out the details of the opponent!"

When the generals heard the words, they suddenly agreed.
