Chapter 362 The tree fell and the hozens scattered
But Yuan Shu didn't want to do this. Since the establishment of the Kwantung Allied Forces, he had been a local bully for several years. This kind of life without the control of the court was too comfortable. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one cared about him at all.
But if he wants to surrender to the court now, the army in his hands will definitely be taken away by the court, and he will no longer be able to lead troops in battle. Instead, he will sit in the court like a clay Bodhisattva, and even his rights will be completely deprived!
At this time, a young general shouted: "We still have 40,000 troops. The victory or defeat is still unknown. Why are everyone starting to discuss defeat now!"
Yuan Shu laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Bo Fu is worthy of being the eldest son of Wentai. He really has the demeanor of a tiger general!"
But when Ji Ling and the others heard this, their faces darkened. No one seemed to be fighting. After all, no one wanted to fight a losing battle, so they all glared at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was not afraid of them, but said enthusiastically: "My lord, if you trust me, please give me troops and horses. I will definitely make it difficult for Liu Bei to advance!"
Yuan Shu was overjoyed and named Sun Ce Zhenwei Zhonglang General, and asked him to lead 10,000 soldiers to sit in Hefei!
Sun Ce was overjoyed and said, "It just so happens that Ce can avenge my father back then!"
Yang Hong looked at Sun Ce who was leaving and asked in confusion: "Liu Bei is a famous general in a hundred battles. My lord, if you ask Sun Ce to resist Liu Bei, it will be difficult to succeed, right?"
Ji Ling mocked: "Sun Ce is just a young boy with some martial arts, how can he be Liu Bei's opponent!"
But Yuan Shu looked at his close men and mocked: "If you had been more effective, I wouldn't have used Bo Fu to resist Liu Bei!"
Yuan Shu knew exactly what his men were thinking. Now if he really wanted to hand over his army to them, he was afraid that they would turn around and surrender to his elder brother Yuan Ji, so he had to use Sun Ce, an old official who was not a disciple of the Yuan family.
The foreign general!
Xun Zheng said awkwardly: "Lord, we are doing this for your own good. Even if we can find a chance of victory, we will continue to resist. But now Benchu does not support us. With our strength, we are no match for Liu Bei! Now we surrender, eldest son.
, this also transfers the power of the Yuan family to the eldest son Sheng, everyone is a member of the Yuan family, so we are not considered a failure!"
Yan Xiang smiled awkwardly and said: "That's right! They are all from the Yuan Clan, so we are not considered defeated!"
Yuan Shu looked at his confidant and said, "I want to win again!"
Ji Ling smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you must have capital to fight, but we have no capital now! My lord must be willing to admit defeat!"
Yuan Shu was unconvinced and said: "I haven't completely lost everything yet. I still have 40,000 troops in my hands! The rainy season between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River is from May to July. In other words, it is difficult to fight in these two months. As long as we can
After resisting Liu Bei's army for 3 months, the autumn harvest is coming, and Lei Gong will have food. At that time, Lei Gong's cavalry will surely go south to the Central Plains, and Liu Bei will go to support Yuan Shao. He has no time to care about us! Do I have an army of 40,000?
Can’t even resist Liu Bei and the others for three months?”
"Lei Gong!" Yuan Shu's men really didn't think of this. After all, Lei Gong was too far away from them! But judging from the situation in the past two years, it is not wrong. In the Battle of Youzhou, Lei Gong launched it after the autumn harvest.
The Battle of Jizhou was also launched after the autumn harvest.
Lei Gong's military strength is invincible, which is recognized by the world. The only thing that limits him is grain and grass. Jizhou was occupied by Lei Gong for only a few months, and he could not collect much grain and grass at all. But after this autumn harvest, food will no longer be a problem.
, it is really possible for Thunder Lord to go south to the Central Plains!
But Yuan Shu's statement made them even more worried. The people who followed Yuan Shu were all descendants of the top noble families in the Han Dynasty. Their war with Liu Bei was just an internal conflict within the Han Dynasty. Even if they failed, it would be nothing to surrender to Liu Bei, let alone
It is said that there is Yuan Ji beside Liu Bei.
But if Lei Gong hits the Central Plains, the big man will be completely beaten to pieces, and their family will also be strangled by Lei Gong. You must know that the noble families in the three states of Hebei have been completely wiped out, and tens of thousands of noble families have been killed by Lei Gong.
In the end, for Yan Xiang and the others, Lei Gong is the biggest demon and the real enemy!
So when Yuan Shu expressed his thoughts, Yang Hong immediately said: "Master, please don't contact Lei Gong. This is digging your own back. Even if we lose to Liu Bei, we are still a noble family of the Han Dynasty, but if Lei Gong occupies the Central Plains,
Our family is finished. The foundation of the Yuan family is in Yuzhou. As long as Yuzhou is under the attack of Lei Gong, does the lord want his family to be like the Cui family?"
Yan Xiang continued: "The Cui family originally had thousands of people in Jizhou, but now only a few dozen people have fled to Jingzhou. The disciples and former officials of the Cui family in Jizhou were completely destroyed by Lei Gong. The Cui family, the first-class family of the Han Dynasty, is like this
Decline, I am afraid that after Taiwei Cui dies of illness, the Cui family will fall into a poor family! The lord's family is in Runan. If Runan is occupied by Lei Gong, the Yuan family will probably suffer the same fate as the Cui family. Could it be that the lord
I want to destroy the Yuan family!"
For the noble families of the Han Dynasty, their local disciples and old officials were the most important resources. Without them, the Cui family would not even be considered powerful.
Yuan Shu sneered and said: "Yanzhou is Yuan Shao's territory now. As long as he resists Thunder Lord, the Yuan family will naturally not be destroyed. If he fails, what does this have to do with me? Now the Yuan family is in Yuan Shao's territory."
superior!"
Yuan Shu now feels a bit like I won't care about the flood after he dies! After all, he also has grievances against the elders of the Yuan family. If they hadn't helped Yuan Shao in the first place, Yuan Shao wouldn't have been able to easily leave him to Yuzhou, so that the king he planned
The cause of hegemony has come to naught!
Yuan Shu said coldly: "Hit all the troops in Shouchun. I just want to see if Cao Cao and the others have the ability to conquer Shouchun within half a year. Liu Bei, if Cao Cao doesn't let me have an easy time, I will drag Liu Bei and
Cao Cao and the others are going to hell!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu left the hall!
Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Xun Zheng, Ji Ling, and others were all fooled by this! Yuan Shu wanted to die together with Liu Bei and the others, but they didn't want to!
Yang Hong's novel said: "The master is acting on his own initiative again. We can't let the master continue to make such mistakes!"
Ji Ling said helplessly: "What can we do? This is not the first time that my lord has acted out of anger. I didn't expect that he would make such a big deal this time, and even the Yuan family doesn't care!"
Yan Xiang said anxiously: "In the past, it was okay to act on impulse, but this time it is too dangerous. Lei Gong has really captured the Central Plains, and our family will also perish!"
Yan Xiang and the others are all descendants of noble families, and Lei Gong is their natural enemy! They took refuge in Yuan Shu because they wanted to honor their ancestors, not because they wanted to destroy their family and their people.
Xun Zheng said seriously: "We can't watch our lord make another mistake again and again. I'm going to contact the eldest son and find a way to end this war that shouldn't happen as soon as possible so that the court can deal with the war with Lei Gong as soon as possible!"
Obviously, Yuan Shu's incident touched the bottom line of his close men. They discussed and decided to betray Yuan Shu in order to save their own families!
At the same time, Sun Ce set out from Shouchun with high spirits and the generals and 10,000 troops left by Sun Jian!
Ever since Sun Ce's father died in battle, he has been serving as a personal guard beside Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu taught him how to lead troops in battle! This is the first time that he can lead such a large army.
But not long after Sun Ce led his army to set off, Zhou Yu led several servants to catch up with Sun Ce's army.
Zhou Yu was only eighteen years old, tall, handsome, elegant, and dressed like a celebrity! But he happened to have the same temperament as Sun Ce, and the two became very close!
When Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu, he hurriedly dismounted and said with a smile: "Gong Jin, the time has come for my brother to become famous all over the world. As long as I defeat Liu Bei, my brother will not only avenge his father, but also become famous all over the world! Just wait for the news of my victory.
!”
Zhou Yu came from a high-ranking family, and his family was famous in Yangzhou. His father Zhou Jing and his uncle Zhou Zhong both served as Taiwei in this dynasty. When his grandfather Zhou Jing was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, his former Taishen Chen Fan was his
Don't drive. Although the Zhou family is not the top noble family in the Han Dynasty, it is still the first-class noble family in Yangzhou! So he knows more about this war!
He said helplessly: "Brother Bo Fu, why are you rushing out at this time? Don't you know that Yuan Shu's defeat has been determined? You are just going to be buried with Yuan Shu by leading the troops now!"
Sun Ce disagreed and said: "Others are afraid of Liu Bei, but I am not afraid. I will nail him to Hefei and make it difficult for Liu Bei to move!"
Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Yuan Shu has been very angry in Yangzhou for more than a year. In order to compete with Yuan Shao for Yuzhou, he conquered the entire Yangzhou! Now Liu Bei attacks Yuan Shu, the entire Yangzhou noble family applauds, everyone
We are all waiting to see how Yuan Shu will die, do you think Bo Fu can help Yuan Shu defend Hefei under such circumstances?"
Sun Ce was surprised and said: "Isn't it possible? My uncle is a descendant of the Yuan family after all. Do the noble families in Yangzhou not even give the Yuan family face?"
But Zhou Yu said: "It was Yuan Shu who did not give face to the noble families of Yangzhou. During his one year in Yangzhou, the people of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County were reduced by half. He also threatened the local noble families to send troops and provide food to support him. In such a situation
Under such circumstances, how could Yuan Shu win the hearts of the people! Therefore, as soon as Liu Bei's army arrived, they easily occupied Lujiang County. You can see that when Liu Bei enters Jiujiang County, he will definitely spread the word!"
"I just want to ask Brother Bo Fu, are you planning to follow Yuan Shu all the way to the dark side?" Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce with a solemn expression and asked word by word: "If you want to continue to help Yuan Shu, then I will
As if you haven't been here before, if you still want to display your ambitions and make contributions, you must cut off contact with Yuan Shu now!"
Sun Ce was unprepared. He didn't expect that Zhou Yu would let him make such a choice! Although Yuan Shu had many problems, he treated his own people very well. When Sun Jian helped him fight against Yuzhou and died in battle, Yuan Shu always felt that he had
Thanks to the Sun family, he has always taught Sun Ce, his nephew. It can be said that Yuan Shu is very good to Sun Ce, which makes him unwilling to betray Yuan Shu!
Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "A man does something and doesn't do something. Although Yuan Shu is sorry for the people of Yangzhou, he is worthy of me, Sun Ce. I have no reason to betray him!"
Then Sun Ce saluted Zhou Yu and said, "If I really die in battle, please ask Gong Jin to take care of my younger siblings and mother!"
Zhou Yu looked helpless at the stubborn Sun Ce, but at the same time, it was precisely because of Sun Ce's qualities that he became friends with him!
Zhou Yu said: "You are not doing something or not doing something, but you are seeking death! Liu Bei has experienced hundreds of battles. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others under his command are all powerful generals who have taken the head of a general among thousands of armies.
, there are celebrities like Yuan Ji around you, he is Yuan Shu’s eldest brother, your army may be instigated by Yuan Ji to rebel as soon as they go to Hefei, aren’t you looking for death?”
Sun Ce was surprised and said: "Why doesn't my uncle's eldest brother help my uncle?"
Zhou Yu later told Sun Ce about the relationship between Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu. When he heard that Yuan Ji almost thought that the coalition of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had been killed by Dong Zhuo, he finally understood why Yuan Ji wanted to help Liu Bei!
Zhou Yu advised: "Even Yuan Shu's eldest brother won't help him. Why are you, an outsider, so excited? For Yuan's disciples and former officials, Yuan Shu has no future. The only way out is to join Yuan Ji. You must really fight with Liu Bei."
Fighting to the death will offend Liu Bei and block the future of the Yuan family's disciples and old officials, and this may not be a good thing for Yuan Shu!"
"Liu Bei suffered few casualties. He looked at Yuan Ji and would not do anything against Yuan Shu. But if you caused Liu Bei to suffer heavy casualties in Hefei, Liu Bei would not be able to let Yuan Shu off easily even if he had to explain to his subordinates! You
This is not helping Yuan Shu but harming Yuan Shu!"
Helping Yuan Shu in the battle was actually hurting Yuan Shu. The twists and turns in this process made Sun Ce confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while?
Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "It is better for me to go to Hefei with my elder brother. It is easy for my elder brother not to betray Yuan Shu. There are four princes attacking Yuan Shu this time. Even if we can resist Liu Bei, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to resist the other three."
Due to the encirclement and suppression by the princes, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will surrender earlier than you, Brother Bofu, and by then you will not have betrayed Yuan Shu!"
When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's words, he smiled excitedly and said: "That's great. We two brothers will join forces to conquer the world. Liu Guan and Zhang Tongtong are not our brothers' opponents. If there is a plan, we will go to Hebei to meet the legendary Thunder God! Look at him.
Is it really that powerful!"
When Zhou Yu heard the name of Lei Gong, he said with a serious expression: Lei Gong should not be taken lightly. Dozens of generals in the Han Dynasty died at the hands of Lei Gong. Even the famous general Huangfu Song died in the hands of Lei Gong. He can be said to be the number one rebel among the Han Dynasty.
Fu must not underestimate him!"
Sun Ce smiled and said: "Brother, I didn't despise him. After all, the Han Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops were not wiped out by him. Who dares to despise Lei Gong? I'm just curious about Lei Gong. There are so many rebellions in the Han Dynasty. Why is he the only one who gets stronger as he fights?"
, now even the big man can't suppress him! There is no general that Brother Wei has met who is not afraid of Thunder Lord. With such a powerful enemy, Brother Wei naturally wants to fight!"
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said: "There will be a chance. After this battle, Bo Fu may encounter Thunder Lord!"
