The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153 Yuan Shao is Tempted

"Prepare two generous gifts, order people to go to Jingzhou and Xiliang, meet Ma Teng and Liu Biao, persuade them to send troops, threaten Cao Cao, and force him to retreat!"

Liu Xiao said in a deep voice, "Order people to send a message to Zilong Fengxiao to speed up the march to the six counties in Jiangdong. Yuan Shu must be killed in a short period of time to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou!"

Shoot three arrows at once, this is Xun Yu's final suggestion to Liu Xiao. When it comes to geographical location, Yuan Shao is undoubtedly the most superior. Cao Cao's forces are bordering each other, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have always had a deep friendship, and the two families will not fight easily unless each threatens the other's status or even safety. In this way, Yuan Shao has no choice but to deal with Liu Xiao opponent.

However, it was this Liu Xiao who gave Yuan Shao a headache. The army had already dispatched, but even though Cao Cao had already shared half of the military pressure, Yuan Shao was still a bit wary and did not dare to attack rashly. of.

It's just that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't go to war, and Yuan Shu's envoys were sent to the two people's camp one after another, asking them to send troops to attack quickly, because Yuan Shu was under too much pressure, and in just two months In time, three and a half of the eight counties occupied by Yuan Shu had already been lost. If the fight continued, Sun Ce and Zhang Xiu might eat it up at any time!

Now Yuan Shu is completely impatient. The group of soft generals under him are not the opponents of Sun Ce and Zhang Xiu at all. They have been beaten back and forth. They have even given up on Shouchun and had to retreat towards Yuzhang.

This time, Yuan Shu sent out to ask for help. It was Yang Hong, the most powerful adviser under his command. Come out, hoping to persuade Yuan Shao, Cao Cao can't count on it, and now he can only count on his brother Yuan Shao, I hope Yuan Shao can see the love of the same family and help him with all his strength.

Yuan Shaowen heard that Yang Hong came to ask for help in person, so he quickly ordered someone to invite Yang Hong in.

"Mr. Yang, you have worked hard all the way, please take a seat!"

Yuan Shao welcomed Yang Hong into the big tent and said with a slight smile.

Yang Hong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your envoy is here, how can there be any reason for Yang Hong to take the seat? Envoy, let's not talk about the polite words of Yang. Now the situation in Yangzhou Yuan Road is critical, and he was attacked by Sun Ce and Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu on both sides, and he was defeated all the way." , my lord has ordered people to ask for help several times, how can you make the king enter Qingzhou to fight before entering the army?"

Yuan Shao smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Yang, it's not that I don't want to send troops. You also know that because the former responded to the highway, he fought Liu Xiao in Qingzhou. As a result, Liu Xiao was cunning and the Jizhou army was defeated. The casualties reached six." Thousands of people have been greatly injured, and now I am also powerless. If Liu Xiao mobilizes the Qingzhou Army to Xuzhou to attack the six counties in Jiangdong, then Cao Cao and I have already sent troops to fight and forced Liu Xiao to return to the army. But the current situation Obviously, Liu Xiao and the elites of Qingzhou have all stayed in Qingzhou, and there are even 6 to [-] Danyang elites staying in Qingzhou. Now Qingzhou has nearly [-] troops, and Liu Xiao has strong generals like clouds and counselors like rain. Attacking, I am not sure enough to defeat Liu Xiao, so, if the Qingzhou army goes south, I will naturally send troops to rescue Yuan Gonglu."

Yang Hong's face darkened, what?Liu Xiao's army left Qingzhou and went to Xuzhou?If Liu Xiao's army really came out in full force, wouldn't my lord be dead long ago?
However, now that people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. Yang Hong can only hold back the resentment in his heart, and humbly beg Yuan Shao to send troops.

"Ming Gong!"

Yang Hong said in a deep voice: "Now there is no need for the past, the situation is urgent, Yuan Gonglu can't last long; as the saying goes, brothers in battle, father and son in battle, you and my lord are brothers, among the princes in the world, the most It is close, the two sides are helping each other, looking at the world, who can resist? Once my lord is defeated, Ming Gong will be alone and alone, and he will be unable to support himself..."

Yuan Shao's face turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Mr. Yang, even if the road is defeated, I, Yuan Shao, may not be alone. There are millions of households in Jizhou, and there are countless elite riders in Youzhou and Bingzhou. Mr. Yang is too alarmist to compete for the capital of the world!"

Yang Hong said helplessly: "Minggong, my lord has already said that as long as Minggong can enter Qingzhou, fight Liu Xiao, and force Liu Xiao to mobilize Xuzhou soldiers to increase Qingzhou, so that the land of Yangzhou can be preserved, my lord is willing to serve you." You are the master. After all, if someone else owns the world, it is his surname. If Minggong owns the world, it will still belong to the Yuan family. Losing soldiers and destroying generals, but Qingzhou also consumes a lot of money. Liu Xiao first used troops to fight my lord in Xuzhou, and then fought Cao Cao in Tai'an. Finally, he fought with Jizhou army. Three battles in succession lasted for more than half a year. , for Qingzhou, the loss is worse than that of Jizhou!"

Yuan Shao's face softened a little, and he asked, "Yuan Gonglu is really willing to serve me as master? Hehe, he could have always looked down on me because I was a son of a concubine, and even thought I was Yuan Jun's concubine's slave. Now you want to worship me as Lord? Who will believe?"

Yang Hong said in a deep voice: "Duke Ming, here is the letter from my lord, which can be regarded as evidence; as long as Duke Ming sends troops to Qingzhou, we are willing to support Duke Ming with [-] shi of food and grass; Duke Ming and Cao Cao jointly send troops, and Liu Xiao is definitely not an opponent. Xiao lost Qingzhou, that is a toothless tiger. It will not be a few days. The three of us attack together, and we will definitely defeat Liu Xiao. At that time, Minggong is in the north, my lord is in the south, and Cao Cao is in the middle. We will be defeated without a doubt! In this way, from Youzhou and Bingzhou to Yangzhou, it is all the territory of the Yuan family, and it is all your territory, Mr. Ming. In the land of the state, look around the world, no one can be the opponent of Duke Ming, to rule the world, and replace the Han Dynasty, just around the corner!"

Yang Hong's last words made Yuan Shao completely moved. If Yuan Shu is really willing to submit to himself, the north and the south will attack, first destroy Liu Xiao and then Cao Cao, and all the eight states in the east will be in his hands. There will really be no one in the world. It's my opponent, a good opportunity, it's definitely a god-sent opportunity!

The light in Yuan Shao's eyes could not stop flickering, obviously he was calculating how to realize this great plan according to Yang Hong's description!
"it is good!"

Yuan Shao still shouted: "After all, Yuan Gonglu and I are brothers, how can we not save him? Mr. Yang, wait for me to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to attack together and encircle and suppress Liu Xiao!"
