Chapter 433 (1/2)
”What?”
Yuan Shu's face was red, and he said angrily, ”Liu Bei Lizi, the generation who weaves mats and peddles shoes, is also qualified to be the governor of Yuzhou?”
The news of Lei Bo's defeat has been introduced to Runan, and Yuan Shu was naturally furious after hearing about it.
”My Lord, don't be angry. Why should you be so angry about a Liu Bei?” Yang Hong chuckled: ”Liu Bei's soldiers are less than ten thousand, and they will not pass the pass, and their strength is weak. However, our army is a crowd of 100000 soldiers. We only need to send a general to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to attack Liu Bei. By the way, Yingchuan county is also included in the bag. In this way, all the territory of Yuzhou is in the hands of our army, and only Liu Ye can compete with our army.”
Yuan Shu frowned and worried: ”but Liu Bei is no more than that, but he is leaning against Liu Ye. If our army rashly starts fighting with Liu Ye, isn't it?” Although Yuan Shu is arrogant and arrogant, he has not yet reached the state of arrogance. He has deep fear for Liu Ye.
Yang Hong sneered and said, ”my Lord, this is not true. Although Liu Ye's troops are awe inspiring to the whole world, he has been fighting for many years without enough food and grass. It is said that Tao Qian once asked the imperial court for help, but Liu Ye only wrote a letter to Cao Cao and did not send troops. This shows that Liu Ye has more heart than strength.”
”Well...” Yuan Shu was hesitant. Yang Hong said with a smile, ”is it difficult for the Lord to be afraid of Liu Xuande?”
”Joke!” Yuan Shu snorted coldly: ”I am the fourth generation after the three gongs, how can you fear the generation of weaving mat and peddling shoes?”
After that, Yuan Shu said in a loud voice: ”call on me! Ji Ling was ordered to lead 30000 soldiers to attack Liu Bei. ”
Ji Ling is the number one general under Yuan Shu's command, who often stands alone. Yuan Shu mobilized 30000 troops in one breath, which shows how strong Yuan Shu's determination to destroy Liu Bei is.
Yang Hong was overjoyed: ”to pacify Yuzhou, the Lord has enough troops and sufficient food. When the time comes, the Lord will cross the two prefectures of Henan and Yangzhou and go north to fight with Liu Ye.”
”Never!”
Hearing the voice of opposition, Yuan Shu immediately frowned and looked at the past. It turned out that he was engaged in Yan Xiang.
When Yan suddenly heard the news, he did not think of it.
”Lord!” Yan Xiang denounced: ”today, our army is fighting on two fronts. General Zhang Xun leads his troops into Xuzhou to fight Cao Cao. Sun CE leads his troops to break the Lujiang River and is fighting with Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. It is a great taboo for strategists to separate troops. How can the Lord order general Ji Ling to fight Liu Bei?”
Yuan Shu was discontented and said, ”why, didn't you just come back from grain collection? Are you worried about the shortage of food and grass, or do you think Ji Ling can't defeat Liu Bei? ”
Yan Xiang shook his head: ”the elephant is not worried about general Ji Ling's ability of unifying troops, but Liu Bei has made great achievements in the battle of Huangjin. Both Liu Ye and Cao Cao have great respect for Liu Bei. The second general of Guan and Zhang have the courage of Xiong Hu. In case general Ji Ling and Liu Bei are in a stalemate, what will happen if Liu Ye sends elite troops to attack him?”
Yang Hong laughed and said, ”Liu Ye's army is fighting abroad this year. It's known to all that there is not enough food and grass in the world. Does Yan do not even know this?”
”Although Liu Ye is in short supply, he can still send thousands of troops,” Yan Xiang said
Yang Hong disdained to say: ”how about thousands of people? General Ji Ling is in charge of a total of 30000 troops. Can Liu Ye win with more than one? ”
Yan Xiang ignored Yang Hong's mischief, but looked at Yuan Shu: ”Lord, now that our three armies are outside, if there are any mistakes in any way, it will certainly affect other armies.”
”Cao Cao occupied the two prefectures of Qing and Xu, Liu Yao occupied most of Yangzhou, while Liu Ye occupied Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Sili and Yanzhou. How could our army contend with the seven states in the world by relying on Yuzhou and a small part of Yangzhou?” Yan Xiang tried to persuade him.
