Chapter 471: Yuan Shu Is Furious

"I knew that this concubine was incompetent and as cowardly as a mouse. He didn't even dare to take the prince I entrusted to him, but he wanted to be the governor of Jizhou in the Han Dynasty!"

boom!

A bronze vessel was thrown on the ground with a dull sound, Yuan Shu panted heavily, his anger still lingering.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Benchu ​​is far away in Hebei, thousands of miles away from our army. Even if he doesn't agree, it's nothing. It can only be regarded as his ignorance." Yang Hong hurriedly advised.

Yuan Shu snorted: "The king of Zhao who won is unwilling to do it, so this son of a concubine will be promising. In this case, when our army is fully occupied in Yuzhou, we will order Cao Mengde to go north from Qingzhou and send troops to Pingyuan Kingdom, so that this concubine You know how powerful I am."

Yang Hong praised: "Your Majesty sits in Shouchun, and his determination is thousands of miles away. Even if you are a Liuhou, Yafu is not as good as you."

Relying on Yang Hong's deep flattering skills, Yuan Shu finally felt better.

"Come on, I'm thirsty, drink honey water."

An attendant came up carrying a wooden tray. On the tray was a silver bottle containing high-quality amber-colored honey water and a spoon inside.

Yuan Shu rolled up his robe sleeves, held the spoon and took a sip, the corners of his lips rose slightly, obviously very satisfied.

"This Shouchun is average, but the honey water is really good. When the capital is moved to Luoyang in the future, Shouchun must continue to offer honey water." Yuan Shu said with satisfaction.

"His Majesty!"

A loud shout came in suddenly, Yuan Shu frowned slightly, because he had already recognized the owner of the voice.

Yan Xiang, it's this annoying ghost again.

Yuan Shu gently put down his spoon, waved his hand to signal his attendants to go down, and then said nonchalantly, "Doctor Yan, what's the matter?"

Yan Xiang hurried in and said, "Your Majesty! Sun Ce sent 20,000 troops to attack Lujiang County, and the prefect Liu Xun asked His Majesty for reinforcements."

"Sun Bofu!" Yuan Shu was furious. In fact, he admired Sun Ce very much in his heart. Compared with his son Yuan Yao, Sun Ce, as the son of Sun Jian, inherited the temperament of Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong.

Yuan Shu even once claimed, "If Yao'er is like Bo Fu, I will die without regret."

But it happened that such a person whom he was optimistic about betrayed him, the anger in Yuan Shu's heart can be imagined. Doesn't this mean that Yuan Shu has no ability to know people?

Yuan Shu was puzzled and said: "Could it be that Bofu dislikes the small official position I gave him and is not happy, but since I call him emperor, Sun Bofu has a different surname, so I can't make him king of Wu, can I?"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Xiang was very angry and funny. The emperor of the Zhong family was too naive. If Sun Ce raised troops simply because of dissatisfaction, he only needed to be an empty king of Wu, but he obviously didn't want to I want a King of Wu, but I want Your Majesty's life!

Yan Xiang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty! Sun Ce crossed the river and attacked Liu Yao, occupying most of Yangzhou, with tens of thousands of troops, and he was behind our army. If Sun Ce rebelled, his life would be in jeopardy!"

Why did Yuan Shu have the guts to call himself emperor? It was because he thought Sun Ce was one of his own, otherwise why would he ask him for Lujiang County and give it to him?

Since Sun Ce is his own, it is equivalent to occupying Yangzhou and Yuzhou at the same time, so it is possible to become emperor.

However, with Sun Ce's rebellion, the Zhong dynasty was in jeopardy. First, its power was greatly weakened. Second, after Sun Ce sent troops to attack the side, Yuan Shu was naturally flanked by front and rear attacks. The situation was very tense.

"My lord! Lujiang County is located in the north of the river, and it is Fanping to the south of Shouchun. Once Lujiang County is lost, the Jiangdong Army can drive straight in after landing from Lujiang County, and go straight to Shouchun. You must not lose Lujiang County." Yan Xiang said seriously. road.

Yang Hong stopped playing against Yan Xiang, and also advised: "Yes, Your Majesty, Lujiang County is in danger, please send troops to rescue Lujiang County immediately."

Yuan Shu nodded sadly: "I don't know who I know, and I mistakenly allowed Sun Bofu to occupy Yangzhou, so I must attack him."

"Let Ji Ling go! Let Ji Ling lead 30,000 Jinwu Guards to go south to Lujiang County, and let this Sun Ce know what happens when he betrays me!" Yuan Shu said angrily.

Yan Xiang frowned. Although Ji Ling was Yuan Shu's most trusted general and could be regarded as a veteran general, but he was impatient and had to send resourceful people as military advisors to assist him.

"His Majesty."

"Report!" Yan Xiang's words were interrupted, but he was not annoyed, instead he was a little worried about the news brought by the guards.

The guard came in panting and said out of breath, "Your Majesty, Liu Ye's Annan General Zhang He led 30,000 troops to attack Shangcai!"

"Shangcai? Shangcai is only a few dozen miles away from Pingyu, the prefecture of Runan County. If the enemy invades Shangcai, wouldn't Runan County be in danger?"

"If Runan County fell, wouldn't the 60,000 army of the general (referring to Zhang Xun, the general named by Yuan Shu) be cut off by others?"

Yan Xiang solemnly said: "Your Majesty, Zhang He is a famous general under Liu Ye, second only to Jin, and he came from Nanyang, and his menacing attack is no small matter. The general's 60,000 troops need to pass through Pingyu for supplies, and Zhang He cannot be allowed to attack Runan County. "

Yuan Shu made a difficult mistake. Although he proclaimed the emperor with great momentum, in fact, his men were stretched. Zhang Xun took away 60,000 troops, and Le took 20,000. In addition to the garrisons in various places, there are only 40,000 people around Shouchun City. people.

However, both Runan and Lujiang are in a hurry, how can this be a good thing?

Yuan Shu thought for a while, and said angrily: "Order Ji Ling to recruit soldiers near Shouchun, and divide the troops to rescue Lujiang County and Runan County."

Yan Xiang shook his head: "Your Majesty, the newly recruited soldiers are vulnerable even if they go to the battlefield, and the large-scale transfer of civilians will inevitably affect the spring plowing next year. This method is not advisable."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Yuan Shu asked irritably.

"Runan County is not only an important place for our army, but also related to the supply of General Zhang Xun's 60,000 troops. It is more important than Lujiang County. We must send a general to rescue him personally, and beware of Zhang Yun's army attacking the general's flank."

"What about Lujiang County? Although Liu Xun is also a veteran general, he might not be able to defeat the little bully, right?" Yang Hong said coldly.

Yan Xiang was unmoved, and calmly said: "Your Majesty, please tell Liu Xun to give up the counties in the south of Lujiang County, not to fight without authorization, and to defend with all your strength."

"Why did you hand over the counties and counties to others before the first battle?" Yuan Shu said dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty! The biggest dilemma for our army right now is the lack of troops!" Yan Xiang analyzed: "Er Liu and Sun Ce joined forces to attack me, making our army careless of the head and tail. If General Liu Xun gives up part of the territory, it will be able to shrink Second, Sun Ce must send a certain amount of troops to take over the abandoned city, so that one will grow and the other will grow, and Liu Xun, the prefect, will naturally be able to persevere!"

At the same time, Yan Xiang was deeply worried. Yuan Shao refused to accept the title of King Zhao, and Sun Ce refused to conscript the Great General of the South and sent troops to attack Lujiang County. Will Cao Cao do the same?
