The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

Although people like to exaggerate in wars these years, the number of people that Yuan Yao will tell Lu Su is naturally true, without any exaggeration.

The number of soldiers and horses in Huainan, that is, the number of people in Jiangdong, this number is more than enough.

Even Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Liu Jingsheng was able to gather 8 troops back then, and Yuan Yao's [-] troops were even more generous.

Of course, some of the remaining people must also be restless, and Yuan Yao naturally has other uses.

Lu Su was not surprised to hear that his side had the upper hand in numbers.

However, after all, in war, it doesn't matter whoever has the most will win. The commander in chief, the vanguard general, and the military adviser behind the scenes are all wrestling fields.

Therefore, Lu Su also asked: "Who is the leader of the vanguard this time?"

Lu Su knew better than anyone else Yuan Yao's ability to know people and do things well, so he was sincere in asking for advice and suggestions.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yao shook his head and refused, "Since Zijing is the commander-in-chief this time, whoever he wants to be the vanguard should be decided by Zijing himself."

Lu Su heard it as if he thought about it directly.But he saw that he was silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Yuan Yao was not in a hurry, he just let Lu Su think about it slowly, with a leisurely look, as if he wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper thoroughly.

The room was quiet for a stick of incense before hearing Lu Su speak.

"Dare to ask, my lord, is General Gan Ning's injury healed now?"

Yuan Yao was a little surprised when he heard it. Hearing the meaning of Lu Su's words, he wanted to call Gan Ning a pioneer?

I thought that with Lu Zijing's cautious personality, he should be called Tai Shici or Huang Zhong, who are a little more prudent, as the vanguard, but I didn't want to choose Gan Ning, who is more arrogant.

However, Yuan Yao, who had already spoken beforehand, couldn't help but suggest, and responded honestly: "Hua Miracle Physician has rejuvenated, and Xingba is indeed fine now. If Zijing wants to make him a vanguard general, No problem."

Lu Su nodded when he heard this, and then explained: "General Ziyi is now leading the Jiefan Army, and he is the trump card division of our army. It is not easy to expose it casually."

"When General Gan was in the vanguard last time, he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He was defeated by Huo Jun in Hulugu, and he was holding his breath in his heart."

"This time I am a vanguard general again, I think I can't make the same mistake again."

Only then did Yuan Yao suddenly respond: "Xingba is aggressive by nature, and he is not afraid of life and death. If he can change this problem of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, he is indeed the best candidate for the vanguard."

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Zijing is a good idea. Xingba has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is eager to make contributions. Zijing also called him a pioneer. With this opportunity to avenge his shame, it must be overwhelming!"

Lu Su didn't dare to be careless, and said again with a serious face: "General Ling Cao should be the deputy general."

Yuan Yao had no objection, and only reminded: "It is enough not to ask Huo Jun to go with him. After all, he still has some old grievances with Xingba. If he can not go with him, it is better not to go with him."

How about more emphasis on dispatching troops, now that there are too many people in the tent, the "compatibility" of the generals must also be considered.

In other words, if you put Gan Ning Huo Jun, Huang Zhong Chen Deng, Gu Yong and Sun Hao together, wouldn't there be a fight?

Although there are a few couples who don't like each other, it's all because of Yuan Yao's rectification...

Chapter 322 Edict Effect

One month later, Shouchun.

The chief bookkeeper, Yan Xiang, was reporting the situation in Jingjing Province with Yuan Shu.

"Duke Ming, you have received a letter a few days ago, saying that all Jingzhou soldiers and horses have been dispatched, and they are going to Nanyang to attack Yingchuan."

"After half a month, they will be stationed in Juancheng to cooperate with Shouchun and Xiapi's offensive."

Yuan Shu nodded and only asked, "Who is the commander of Jingzhou?"

At the beginning, Yuan Shu didn't intervene at all in order to make Yuan Yao feel at ease in Jingzhou, that's why he asked this question.

Yan Xiang responded immediately: "The commander-in-chief of the three armies is Lu Su, and the vanguard generals are Gan Ning and Ling Cao."

Yuan Shu naturally knew about these soldiers under Yuan Yao.It's just that knowing is knowing, familiarity is not very familiar.

But out of trust in his son, Yuan Shu didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Yuan Shu is also aware of Yuan Yao's ability now,

"Compared to myself back then, that is much stronger!"

Yuan Shu's question now is just to confirm whether his son has listened to his words and stayed in Xiangyang.

This will be confirmed, and then he said with peace of mind: "Since Jingzhou soldiers and horses have moved, it should be said that Ji Ling led the troops out."

Yan Xiang immediately responded: "What Duke Ming said is very true. If you want to come to Marquis Wen, you know that you have sent troops, and you will definitely take action. We have the most soldiers and horses, which is the key to the Northern Expedition, and it is even worse. procrastination."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think: "Besides, if the three groups of soldiers and horses come together this time, if Cao Cao responds by dividing them, he will definitely be in the first place. He will definitely think about breaking through one route first. In comparison, the eastern and western armies with fewer troops , it is very likely that Cao Cao will take the initiative to attack."

"If our army moves slowly, it will give Cao Cao a chance."

Yuan Shu nodded his head when he heard this, thinking about it, his central army has 15 people, even if Cao Cao has great abilities, he would not dare to take the initiative to fight a field battle with his army.

Will stick to it, in order to break through the two wings, and then make a fuss.

Knowing that he really couldn't delay his journey, he immediately ordered: "Immediately order Ji Ling to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"

"promise!"

Yan Xiang responded without any hesitation, and went straight down to deliver the order.

No matter how big it is now, it is not as big as the Northern Expedition to Cao Cao.

In fact, everyone can understand the general trend of the world today.

In other words, on the land of the Central Plains, if Yuan Shu can unite with Lu Bu to defeat Cao Cao, there are already signs of aspiring to the world.

If the protagonist is prosperous, that is to say that he is prosperous, and everyone knows this truth.

Besides, a loyal person like Yan Xiang regards Yuan Shu's affairs as his own.

Ever since Chen Gong from Xuzhou came to Shouchun, he has been fully prepared for the Northern Expedition!

Originally, Yuan Shu's Northern Expedition to Cao Cao was carried out in an orderly manner.

Among the generals in the high-level interior of Shouchun City, all of them are also full of enthusiasm.

Don't look at Yuan Yao's continuous victories in the past few years, but among the Huainan soldiers, except for Le, who followed the young master to eat and drink everywhere, the others haven't had any wars for several years.

That is to say, when there is some small friction with Cao Cao, I can go up and make gestures.

So this time the Northern Expedition, that is all the hard work, but also to start making contributions.

Otherwise, if it goes on like this, it will not be able to be compared to others in the future!

The Wenchen Group, relatively speaking, is not as passionate as the warriors.

After all, the emperor is still in Xuchang, and Cao Cao is still the prime minister in name, although most people in the world know that this name is just self-proclaimed.

It's just that this slightly dull day was ignited not long after.

Dong Cheng of Yanzhou finally sent out the clothes and belts!

In Shouchun's main hall, the doors and windows are closed at this moment, and there are almost no guards around in the hall.

Even so, there are quite a few people in the hall.

Yan Xiang, Yuan Huan, Yang Hong, Fu Xun from Jingzhou, Liu Xian, Qi Wukai, etc., all came here by order, and they all crowded into the hall of Shouchun.

It's just that apart from Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan, no one knew what happened in such a grand manner.

Even Yang Hong, relying on his old acquaintance with Yan Xiang, was the first to ask, but he didn't answer.It wasn't until Jian Yong and Sun Qian also arrived that Yan Xiang saw that everyone was present, then he bowed to Yuan Shu on the high platform and turned his head to face the crowd.

But seeing Yan Xiang's serious face, he was not smiling at all, but now he is even more serious.

Everyone saw him shouting: "Cao Cao has no way, and the emperor is imprisoned. In this Northern Expedition, we are fighting to save the emperor! You should abide by your duties and don't think about anything else."

Originally, it was necessary to go on an expedition to defeat the enemy, so naturally it was necessary to talk about righteousness.It's just that these words don't need to be so mysterious, right?

When everyone was in doubt, they saw an imperial edict issued by Yan Xiang, holding it up and shouting to the crowd: "Here is the blood edict of the Son of Heaven today, directing the general to attack Cao Cao in the north, to save your majesty from the cage! "

As soon as this remark came out, His Highness was in an uproar.

Almost everyone's first reaction was that Yan Xiang was lying.

Emperor's Blood Edict!

Not to mention whether the blood edict is true or not, let's say that the emperor who is far away in Xuchang, even if he really made an edict, how could he send it to Shouchun without telling Cao Cao?

Knowing that this matter is no small matter, Fu Xun also didn't care about etiquette, so he stepped forward and asked: "Dare to ask the master, the emperor is far away in Xuchang, how did such edicts come to Shouchun City?"

After hearing this, Yan Xiang could only confirm and replied: "It was Dong Cheng, the father of the country, who was sent away by death, and he came to Shouchun after a lot of hard work."

He said with relief: "Everyone, don't worry, even if I, Yan Xiang, have the courage, I will not dare to make a fake emperor's blood edict to deceive you!"

There is some truth to this statement.

After all, in such a troubled world, it is normal for warlords to fight each other, and there is really no need for Yan Xiang to risk the displeasure of the world and make a fake edict.

I just don't want the emperor to have been so wronged in Xuchang, and he didn't hesitate to write the imperial edict with blood!

Fu Xun was also born in a famous family. Hearing that the emperor was suffering, he responded immediately: "Since it is an edict from the emperor, it should be announced to the world, and all people with lofty ideals should be invited to attack Cao Cao together. Let the people know the heart of Cao Cao's soldiers. , They are working for a traitor!"

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as Fu Xun finished speaking, Yuan Shu on the high platform blurted out before anyone else could speak.

Everyone was amazed, and felt that what Fu Xun said was very reasonable, why Yuan Shu directly opposed it.

All of them stared wide-eyed, begging Yuan Shu for an explanation.

Where did Yuan Shu think so much? He just thought that if people in the world knew that he had ordered the emperor to fight Cao Cao and rescued the emperor later, how could he stand on behalf of the Han?

If he took the imperial edict, defeated Cao Cao, and proclaimed himself emperor, wouldn't he be a dishonest villain in front of the world?

Then it would be better not to take this edict!

Chapter 322

To be honest, if Yuan Shu had accepted the clothes and belt edict alone, he might have hidden it from others.

Once he had the idea of ​​becoming emperor, seeing that the time was getting closer, Yuan Shu didn't want to listen to the order of the emperor at all, and only thought about becoming emperor himself.

It's a pity that this edict was caught by Yuan Huan as soon as it entered Shouchun.

Yuan Yaoqing was gentle on the outside but decisive on the inside. After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately sought out Yuan Shu.

Coincidentally, Yan Xiang was by his side at that time, so when Yuan Shu looked at the clothes belt edict, Yuan Huan and Yan Xiang beside him looked at him with blazing eyes, without blinking at all.

Yuan Shu wanted to hide it, but it was not easy to hide it, so he had to show it to the two of them again. After several people discussed it, they had to let some people know about it.

Originally, Yuan Shu only wanted to use this edict to unite the hearts of Cao Cao in the Northern Expedition. He didn't want Fu Xun to tell the world, but how could he not make him nervous.

It's just that after blurting out, Yuan Shu didn't know how to speak when he looked at the civil servants in the palace looking at him one by one.

Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't speak after shouting, Fu Xun stepped forward and asked, "Why did Minggong refuse to allow it? Could it be that there are other considerations?"

Yuan Shu couldn't talk about his consideration of becoming emperor in front of so many people!

In desperation, I really don't know how to speak.

Seeing that the crowd didn't intend to let him go, Yuan Shu suddenly had an idea, and immediately with a complicated expression on his face, he sighed and said to the crowd: "It's not that I don't know the purpose of this edict. Tell the world, I'm afraid it will harm the head of the country!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions.

Fu Xun and others from Jingzhou were not familiar with Yuan Shu's style of work, and thought that Yuan Shu was really thinking of the head of the state, and they felt a little admiration in their hearts.

After all, once the edict comes out, it will definitely disrupt Cao Cao's army, and it will even cause internal chaos.

Not to mention it is a decisive prop, but it can have some effect no matter what.

But looking at Duke Ming, he didn't hesitate at all, he only thought about whether he would harm the father-in-law!

Minggong is a man of benevolence and righteousness, even if the world smears his name, it will be revealed at a critical moment!

A few people even felt a little bit guilty.

Of course, in order to save the emperor, that's the righteousness. If you really want to do this, you can't say anything.

It's just because I really didn't think of Dong Cheng at all, so I feel a little bit guilty.

Compared with Jingzhou people, Yuan Huan's thoughts are a bit more complicated.

At this moment, he really couldn't see what Yuan Shu was thinking. According to his understanding, Yuan Shu should be ecstatic when he got the imperial edict, and he was ordered to ask for rebellion.

How can Dong Cheng's safety be taken care of?

Although I also thought of this point, but in order to get rid of the traitor smoothly, I didn't say anything.

I don't want Yuan Shu to think about it himself.
