"Haha, I also know that the army is not just playing house, and I am not here to intercede with Liu Bei. I am just here to ask, Highway, have you ever thought about attacking Chang'an and rescuing the emperor?"
Zhu Jun shook his head. It was a joke. He was not a fool. Now that Yuan Shu's army was pressing down on the border, Yanzhou was bound to be captured. How could he ask them to withdraw their troops with just one word?
Zhu Jun's words made Yuan Shu and Tian Feng frown again. Rescue the Han Emperor. This is a question that is difficult to answer.
"I must have thought about His Majesty the Emperor, but now he is far away in Chang'an. I am beyond my reach and can't take care of him for the time being. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely send troops eastward to save the Han Emperor from disaster."
Although Zhu Jun's words exceeded Yuan Shu's expectations, he was able to give a clear answer.
The Han Emperor may be a hot potato in the eyes of the current princes, but he has been there and knows that the reason why Cao Cao had the last laugh was to control the Han Emperor. Even if the Han Dynasty collapses, the Han Emperor is still a piece of cake.
Wang Zha.
"Okay, if you have this idea, I'll do it. In fact, my coming to Yanzhou is a plan of Chang'an and Li Jue. Whether I help Liu Bei or stand on my own, the result will be the same. So I want to join forces with you to take Chang'an and rescue His Majesty the Emperor."
.”
Zhu Jun stood up directly, his eyes full of excitement.
Seeing Zhu Jun so excited, Yuan Shu frowned.
It is true that he wants to rescue the Han Emperor, but that is to control the Han Emperor in his own hands. What he wants is complete control like Cao Cao, not with Zhu Jun. If this is the case with the Han Emperor assisted by Zhu Jun
Will it continue to be like history and completely become a puppet?
"General Gongwei, I want to rescue the Han Emperor, but now is really not the time. Please forgive me."
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu decided to temporarily reject Zhu Jun's proposal.
"Why?"
Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of any reason for Yuan Shu to refuse. If he teamed up with him, he would be 90% sure of breaking Chang'an, not just 10%.
"General Gongwei, there is no need to be anxious. You have also seen the situation in Yanzhou now. Although we have the advantage, Liu Bei cannot block it. This battle will be difficult to win."
After seeing Zhu Jun's performance, Tian Feng also smiled slightly and explained to him.
"I'm afraid the reason is more than that."
Although Zhu Jun was a little anxious, his thoughts were still there. Although Tian Feng said so, he thought of other problems.
"General Gongwei thinks too much and really can't get away."
Yuan Shu looked at Zhu Jun and probably guessed that he already knew what he was thinking, but there were some things he couldn't say because it would be too deliberate.
"Highway, I can guarantee that we are united only to rescue the Han Emperor. If you have any concerns, I can give you 20,000 soldiers and horses. Whether you let them be the vanguard to attack the city or seize the territory, or split them into various armies, I
No opinion at all,
I only have one thought now, which is to rescue the Han Emperor, let him escape from the clutches of Li Jue and Guo Si, and escape from the dire straits. After rescuing the Han Emperor, I can also retreat to the countryside and experience the joy of the countryside."
Zhu Jun is a veteran after all. The most taboo thing about two soldiers joining forces is mutual suspicion. If they can't form a joint force, the result of 1+1 may even be less than 1. And Zhu Jun has seen through this before he speaks out.
The issue of ownership of soldiers and horses.
"I'm a little embarrassed by what the old general said. Is Yuan Shu the one who covets your 20,000 troops?
Besides, you are the mighty military god of the Han Dynasty, so your retreat to the countryside will be a huge loss for the Han Dynasty."
After hearing Zhu Jun's promise, Yuan Shu nodded silently. This old general was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Haha, I really feel that I am getting old and can no longer fight. The sky behind belongs to you young people."
Zhu Jun shook his head. What he said was not only to eliminate the gap between him and Yuan Shu, but he really felt that his age had passed.
Through the Yellow Turban War, many powerful generals emerged in the Han Dynasty, and these generals are now active under the sky of the Han Dynasty. Although the old man is still in trouble and has ambitions of thousands of miles, retreating bravely is also a good choice.
"Old General, you are overly worried. Since you think so, I can guarantee that after the battle of Yanzhou is over, we will definitely send our troops eastward to rescue the Han Emperor from the fire and water."
Since Zhu Jun has talked about this, it would be a bit pretentious for him to refuse. Anyway, he also wanted to march eastward after the Battle of Yanzhou and take back the Han Emperor. Since there is no conflict, he can get 20,000 elite soldiers.
,Why not do it?
"Happy, Yuan Jiujiu, your words are worthy of my coming to meet you this time. From now on, my 20,000 soldiers and horses will be handed over to you. These are all soldiers and horses that I have carefully trained.
, they are like my children, I hope you can treat them well."
Zhu Jun drank the wine again. Although his words were a little lonely, he was still full of pride.
"Old General, please rest assured, Yuan Shu will definitely do what he says."
Yuan Shu also stood up, raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay, then I will return to Dongjun immediately and send troops and horses to Jibei Kingdom to help you conquer Luxian County."
After Zhu Jun finished drinking, he turned around and left.
"Old General, please wait a moment."
Seeing that Zhu Jun was about to leave, Yuan Shu quickly spoke to stop him. He was currently fishing. If you mobilized your troops, how could you still fish?
"What's the problem?"
Zhu Jun turned to look at Yuan Shu, who was in the first place. He didn't know what Yuan Shu meant.
"Old General, do you know why I didn't attack Lu County even after so many days of suppression?"
Facing Zhu Jun, an old senior, Yuan Shu was also a little helpless.
"Lu County's defense measures are complete, but you are short of troops and afraid of damage, so I sent troops to be the vanguard to attack Lu County for you."
Zhu Jun glanced at Yuan Shu and expressed his guess.
"There are reasons for this, but they are not comprehensive."
Yuan Shu shook his head.
"Then what other reason is there?
I'd like to hear it."
When Yuan Shu said this, Zhu Jun understood that what he said was not at all true, but other than these, he could not think of anything else that could prevent Yuan Shu from taking Yanzhou.
"Old General, if you want to march eastward from here, you have to pass through Yuzhou and Sizhou before finally reaching Yongzhou, where Chang'an is located. If you want to send your troops eastward now, the trouble is actually not in Chang'an, but in the south."
Zhu Jun was a famous general of the Han Dynasty and a noble man. Yuan Shu was not afraid of revealing his battle ideas to the other party.
"south?
Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Benchu?"
Hearing that Yuan Shu's troubles came from the south, Zhu Jun immediately thought of these two people.
