Chapter 526: Ma Teng and Han Sui are fooled to send troops
Chapter 526: Ma Teng and Han Sui were deceived and sent troops
"Then Ma Chao will wait for news about his uncle."
Ma Chao nodded to Han Sui, then turned and left his mansion.
"Come here and recruit a hero."
"promise."
After a while, Cheng Gongying arrived at Han Sui's residence.
"My lord, I don't know why you have called me here."
Cheng Gongying met Han Sui with doubts.
"Cheng Gongying, Li Jue from Chang'an has sent a message. Please take a look."
Han Sui directly took the letter from Ma Chao and handed it to Cheng Gongying.
Hearing that it was a letter from Li Jue, Cheng Gongying couldn't help but frown. He took the letter and began to look at it in detail. After reading it, his original frown turned into the word "Sichuan".
"What do you mean by Li Jue?"
Han Sui looked at Cheng Gongying, his eyes full of questioning.
"I wonder what my lord thinks?"
Cheng Gongying did not answer directly, but looked up at Han Sui.
"I think this is an opportunity, but I'm afraid it's a trap."
Han Sui answered Cheng Gongying's question truthfully.
"My lord, I'm afraid it's a trap, but I think it's okay. It's just a ploy by Li Jue and others to protect themselves."
A gleam flashed in Cheng Gongying's eyes, and he smiled at Han Sui.
"How to say?"
Looking at Cheng Gongying, Han Sui's eyes also flashed with hope.
"Yuan Shu is too strong now, and he puts too much pressure on the princes. If Yuan Shu takes Yanzhou, the next step is either Yuzhou or Liangzhou.
This is also the reason why Li Jue gave us Liangzhou Mu and Bingzhou Mu.
They gave us such a big temptation, firstly, to support Yanzhou, and secondly, to divert the disaster eastward.
Liangzhou is desolate, far different from Yuzhou and Yongzhou, and there is still the current emperor in Chang'an, so Yuan Shu will most likely attack Yuzhou and Yongzhou first.
If we attack Bingzhou now, with Yuan Shu's character of retribution, he will definitely change his target and attack us."
Cheng Gongying was also considered a wise man, and he could naturally see such a simple plan to divert trouble to the east at a glance.
"Then we reject him, wait and see for the time being, and stand still?"
Hearing Cheng Gongying tell Li Jue and the others' plan, he immediately gave up. After all, he was facing Yuan Shu, who held the land of the Five States.
"I don't think so."
Cheng Gongying shook his head slightly, rejecting Han Sui's intention.
"Then what do you want to do?
Could it be that he knew it was a plan to divert misfortune, but he still wanted to bite the hook and become a shield for them all?"
Han Sui's brows furrowed even more tightly. He knew it was a trap, so why did he still step on it?
"Lord, some things cannot be taken at face value. Although Li Jue seems to have given us a trap, who knows whether it is a trap or not."
"What kind of medicine are you selling?"
Cheng Gongying's words made Han Sui even more confused as to what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"My lord, although Yuan Shu's family is now the dominant one, sometimes having a large territory is not a good thing. It seems that he has strong troops now, but the crisis is also great.
Bingzhou is adjacent to our Liangzhou, and Xuzhou has just been snatched from Cao Cao, and now it is about to attack Yanzhou.
If we send troops to annex the state, it will definitely cause a chain reaction. If other princes know that we are sending troops, they will definitely take action too.
If the war in Yanzhou goes unfavorably, Cao Cao in Yangzhou will definitely not give up and return to seize Xuzhou.
So now that he holds the territory of the Five States, he is likely to be beaten back to his original shape. It would be good to be able to defend Qingzhou.
If we hold Liangzhou and Bingzhou in our hands, will we still be afraid of Yuan Shu?"
There was a ray of wisdom in Cheng Gongying's eyes, and he looked at Han Sui's folds.
"You mean that even if we seize chestnuts from the fire and capture Yanzhou, Yuan Shu won't do it. Does that mean he doesn't have the ability to conquer us?"
Cheng Gongying's words also sounded interesting to Han Sui. From this point of view, Yuan Shu was not that scary.
"Well, that's what it means. If the lord really wants to send troops, now is indeed the best time."
Cheng Gongying nodded to Han Sui.
"Okay, in that case, there is nothing to hesitate about. Recruit Ma Chao. I will join forces with Ma Teng to attack Bingzhou."
"promise."
Ma Chao received Han Sui's intention and immediately rode back to Ma Teng's station. Ma Teng received Han Sui's intention and immediately responded to Zhang Fei. Then he led his troops north to Jincheng to join Han Sui's troops and prepare.
Launch an attack on Bingzhou.
Just when the princes from all over the world were harboring evil intentions, Yuan Shu finally finished his rest, and after swearing an oath, he led his army to send troops directly from Langya Kingdom to Taishan County.
"My lord, it's not good. Yuan Shu pledged his troops in Xiapi and commanded 300,000 troops to attack Taishan County."
When Yuan Shu marched, Taishan County was the first to bear the brunt. Ying Shao's Tan Ma had already entered Xuzhou and returned to report to him as soon as he received the news.
"Is it inevitable after all?"
After hearing Tan Ma's message, Ying Shao seemed to have aged ten years suddenly and slumped down in his chair.
"Sir, this is not the time to be decadent. We cannot sit still and wait for death."
When Ying Shao's chief secretary, Wang Xuan, saw his appearance, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"What can be done now? Yuan Shu is so powerful that even Cao Cao has to stay away, let alone him."
Ying Shao shook his head, Yuan Shu's strength was too powerful for little jumpers like them to resist.
"Sir, all we can do now is to ask Liu Xuande for help immediately."
Although Ying Shao was still like that, Wang Xuan didn't want to give up.
"Well, then let's send someone to Lu County and see what Liu Xuande says."
That's all that's been done so far.
"promise."
A fast horse galloped out of Nanwuyang and rushed towards Jibei Kingdom.
"Lord, urgent report from Taishan County."
Chen Gong took Ying Shao's urgent report and rushed directly into Liu Bei's mansion.
"Should Shao report urgently, is it Yuan Gongluo who has sent troops?"
Hearing Chen Gong's shouting, Liu Bei immediately jumped up.
"It should be Yuan Shu who sent troops."
Chen Gong has not opened Ying Shao's letter, but he can basically confirm it now that he has reported it urgently.
Liu Bei didn't say anything, he opened Ying Shao's letter directly, read it and sent it to Chen Gong.
"Gongtai, Yuan Shu has led 300,000 troops to kill us. What should we do?"
Liu Bei glanced at Chen Gong aside.
"My lord, except for Lu Bu, all the princes we have contacted are still unclear. I suggest that we temporarily abandon Taishan County and let Ying Shao lead the Taishan Army to the north to join us in Jibei Kingdom. At the same time, General Yunchang will lead the partial army from the east.
The county will return to Jibei Kingdom, so that our total military strength will be more than 100,000, enough to fight a tough battle with him."
Chen Gong thought for a while and decided to fight Yuan Shu in Jibei Kingdom.
"Isn't it a little too early to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shu?"
Although Chen Gong wanted to snipe Yuan Shu in Jibei Kingdom, Liu Bei was still worried.
"My lord, we are fighting Yuan Shu now not for a real decisive battle, but to show off to those princes."
