Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shu was silent for a while, and didn't mention this embarrassing thing, but said bluntly, "What is Changyou's thinking?"

Yang Hong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Jiujiang, Wujun, Danyang, Yuzhang, let Qisan and Li Yi retreat instead."

"What did you say!"

Before Yang Hong opened his mouth, Yuan Shu had already made very bad preparations in his heart. After all, he had said "reconciliation" before, so the method was nothing more than bowing his head, giving money, sending beautiful women, and even Yuan Shu was ready to fight his own daughter. Yes, but even so, Yang Hong’s words were beyond Yuan Shu’s imagination. This guy actually asked him to give up the land of the three counties to Li Yi. rise"?

"My lord, calm down, don't hurt yourself!"

"Be careful, my lord."

Several people saw Yuan Shuteng sitting up and even lifted the quilt, they panicked and went to help him to lie down. Yang Hong was so ashamed that he knelt on the ground and dared not raise his head.

In the appeasement of the crowd, Yuan Shu kept panting heavily, because he was indeed very angry, but as his breath stabilized, Yuan Shu began to think seriously about Yang Hong's words, but found that although Yang Hong's words challenged his bottom line, but I'm a little out of breath.

Slowing down, Yuan Shu asked: "Changyou, you don't need to be nervous, I just want to know, why do you say that?"

Yang Hong was greatly relieved by Yuan Shu's gentle attitude, which made Yang Hong both gratified and regretful. If Yuan Shu could have such a state of mind a few years ago, would he still be like this today?

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity."

Those complicated thoughts flashed in Yang Hong's mind, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Although Li Yi came from a poor family, his ambitions are not small, and he even has the heart of disobedience, otherwise he could have done it earlier about the lord. Tell Liu Biao, or tell the imperial court, instead of taking the chest out of the fire and making profit for himself, which shows his great ambition, but this man is good at calculating and has been trying to build his reputation, which has deceived many people in the world."

Everyone nodded silently. Up to now, no one on Yuan Shu's side regarded Li Yi as a true loyal minister.

Yang Hong continued: "Li Yi sent troops to Yangzhou this time, called to crusade against the lord, but in fact it was just to obtain Yangzhou's population and land. However, Li Yi's foundation is shallow, but he is ambitious. Naturally, he does not want to see Yangzhou after the war. Otherwise, even if he wins Yangzhou, within a few years, Yangzhou will not only fail to help him, but will become a drag. Coupled with the constraints of some aristocratic families, Li Yi's background will not be able to recover in three to five years. .”

"So, the subordinates are willing to meet Li Yi on behalf of the lord, and threaten to fight to the death with the lord, and propose to give up the land of the three counties to Li Yi. In this way, Li Yi can take the land of the three counties without bloodshed, and the lord is Temporarily being wronged, I will live in a place to recuperate, and after I recover in the future, I will wait for an opportunity to avenge today's humiliation."

Yuan Shu closed his eyes again. After calming down, he already understood that although Yang Hong's suggestion was very humiliating, it was actually feasible.

Retreating into Shouchun and sticking to it, he can indeed stick to it for a long time, and even consume Li Yi to death, but after being under siege for a year and a half, even if Li Yi leaves, his own situation will be fine what?Moreover, after the war, Yangzhou's people's livelihood must be in decline, so he can still control Yangzhou?

Moreover, with his current physical condition, resting is okay, but if there is a war, he really doesn't know how long he can last.

Therefore, relatively speaking, although Yang Hong's suggestion is humiliating, it is feasible, and at least it can leave a glimmer of hope for the future, although Yuan Shu feels deep down that with Li Yi's cunning, most of this glimmer of hope will be taken away. Just kill him.

It's just that Yuan Shu has arrogance after all. After the fourth generation and the third prince, let him cede the land to others for survival, which is simply embarrassing his ancestors!

Just as Yuan Shu was clenching his fists and struggling back and forth in his heart, he heard Yan Xiang say: "Oh, if this method can be achieved, I agree with it. With the ambition of the lord, I will be able to follow the example of Gou Jian's extermination of Wu. However, Li Yi It's not Fucha, Changyou thinks he will agree?"

Chapter 520 Zhao Da Was Beaten

Yan Xiang's words were like a basin of cold water, splashing on Yuan Shu's shaky heart, and all the entanglement and wavering disappeared immediately.

Now that he is weak, it doesn't matter what his thoughts are, the key is whether Li Yi is willing to agree.

But would Li Yi agree?

Yuan Shu didn't know, anyway, if it was Li Yi instead, he would definitely not agree.

At this time, Yang Hong, who first proposed this idea, said: "Li Yi's vision may be farther-sighted than Fucha's, but after all, he is just a Jingzhou shepherd from a poor family. If the lord has something to do, he can consider making a comeback, but he doesn't have this. Because Yangzhou is ruined, Li Yi can't afford it, so the subordinates think that Li Yi has at least a [-]% chance of agreeing to it."

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, but Yan Xiang still insisted on his original opinion, shaking his head and said: "This matter is difficult."

Although the words are very simple, they also further explain Yan Xiang's views on this matter.

This time Yang Hong didn't continue to persuade, because he had been arguing with Yan Xiang and others for a long time before that, and the two sides couldn't agree on each other. The reasons just now were just to repeat to Yuan Shu. Now, what is needed is Yuan Shu's ideas.

Yuan Shu pondered for a while, but still failed to express his attitude. Instead, he asked, "Is it feasible for the four counties to give up the second one?"

The expressions of Yan Xiang and others were all stagnant, especially Yang Hong, who hesitated for a moment and smiled wryly: "My lord, Xu Gong died unexpectedly, and the brothers of the Yan family were at odds with Zhu Zhi. The county has been out of control, and Li Yi only needs one general and more than ten thousand elites if he wants to take Wu County."

"Not to mention Yuzhang, hey, Liu Xun may be able to stop him for a while, but he is timid before fighting, and he will never be Zhang Liao's opponent for a long time."

"The last thing left is Danyang. Among the four counties, it will take a lot of effort for Li Yi to take Jiujiang and Danyang. Therefore, the so-called four counties handing over the third is actually Jiujiang and Danyang, and the second handing over one is nothing more. I know My lord wants to give up Yuzhang and Wu Jun to Li Yi, but given the situation of the two places, how can Li Yi agree?"

Yang Hong's words were like a thin bone-scraping knife, which caused a burning pain on Yuan Shu's face. Yes, it didn't take much effort for Wu Jun and Yuzhang Li Yi to get it, and he needed to let it go, I'm afraid If Yang Hong mentioned this to his face, would Li Yi drive him away?

Yuan Shu sighed in his heart, and asked again: "What about the third strategy, where to retreat, and now there is still room to retreat?"

Yan Xiang and Yang Hong looked at each other, and then Yan Xiang said in a deep voice: "The subordinates and others discussed, intending to secretly send the lord to Danyang to cultivate with elites before Li Yi's army surrounded Shouchun. It is unlikely that Yi will send troops to Danyang in a short period of time. Even if he sends troops, there will not be many troops, and the lord can continue to retreat to Kuaiji. There is enough time for the lord to recover and recharge his energy for the future counterattack. "

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yang Hong followed suit and added: "My lord, I think this is the best strategy. It can consume Li Yi's soldiers and horses, and at the same time leave some spare energy. It is a perfect strategy."

Afterwards, the others also said in unison: "Subordinates second!"

Yuan Shu's expression was a little surprised at first, but soon he understood, and there was a faint warm current in his heart. He couldn't tell, what was cultivation, what was waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, in fact, he just wanted to give him a chance to survive.

Concealing the news and sending him out, even if Shouchun City is destroyed in the future, they only need to burn down the house, and "Yuan Shu" will die, allowing the real Yuan Shu to save his life.

With Yuan Shu's heart, he couldn't help but be moved when he learned that these subordinates treated him like this.

It's just that Yuan Shu couldn't agree to being moved.

He can endure humiliation and beg for peace, and he can learn from Goujian to suffer through hardship, because no matter what he does, he is still fighting with Li Yi, but if he is allowed to leave Shouchun's subordinates alone and run away, then he is living on paper.

Even in that situation, even if Li Yi knew where he was, he wouldn't deal with him.

Because of a villain who is just trying to survive, do you need to care?

"I already understand your painstaking efforts, but alas, Changyou, you set off today and meet Li Yi for me. I am willing to give up the land of the three counties, and in addition"

After a pause, Yuan Shu added: "As long as he is willing to turn hostility into friendship, I am willing to betroth my eldest daughter to him."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They didn't expect Yuan Shu to be willing. As the envoy, Yang Hong clenched his fists secretly. He wanted to mention this before, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. Now that Yuan Shu said it, it was a bit more Grasp.

Yuan Shu continued: "However, when Changyou went to see Li Yi, you should not be negligent. You must be prepared and stick to Shouchun. I, Yuan Shu, can be defeated and I can give in, but I will not be a person who lives in vain. I shall live and die with you!"

Hearing Yuan Shu's weak but resolute voice, everyone was excited. Although it was a pity that Yuan Shu did not choose to retreat, this result was also within their expectations. Just as Yuan Shu said, he is not a person who lives by idling. This, He is their master!

After Yuan Shu discussed matters with everyone that day, Yang Hong prepared chariots and gifts, took Yuan Shu's letter with him, and embarked on the road of He Tan with a heavy heart.

Two days later, Yang Hong arrived at Yinling. Li Yi had already moved the camp to Yinling after winning several cities. However, when Yang Hong came to ask to see him, Li Yi didn't see him immediately. This was not because Li Yi was putting on airs He neglected Yuan Shu's envoy, but the people who had been sent to Yanzhou before came back.

In the main hall of a courtyard in Yinling City, the smell of wine filled the air. Li Yi and all his subordinates were there. This was a celebration banquet arranged by Li Yi for the previous big victory.

Ordinarily, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet should be more cheerful and high-spirited, but in fact, everyone's complexion is not good, even if there is good food and wine in front of them, no one will make a move.

All this is because Zhao Da came back.

At this time, Zhao Dazheng was kneeling in the middle of the hall. Compared with his previous appearance, Zhao Da's face today looked ashamed, his head was lowered very low, as if he did not dare to see Li Yi, but Li Yi still found that Zhao Da's left cheek There is a scar, and there is also a scar on the neck. Looking carefully, it is not difficult to distinguish that this is the mark of the whip.

"The subordinates are not good at doing things, and the reputation of the lord is affected. Please punish the lord!"

After Zhao Da finished speaking, he bowed his head and bowed again, his appearance was very sincere.
