Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 34 You Can Act Now

The victory in the first battle really greatly stimulated Cao Ying's morale, especially when Liu Bei defeated Li Feng's [-]-strong army head-on with [-] troops, Cao Ying inevitably regarded the Huainan army as a fool.

While Cao Ying was rejoicing, Liu Bei knelt and sat quietly in his big tent with a heavy face.

"Big brother."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walked into the big tent and knelt down in front of Liu Bei, "In this battle, our army lost 230 seven cavalry, 870 three infantry, and seriously injured 88. However, they captured more than 800 Yuan Jun's horses, and Cao Cao also Didn't ask us for it."

This is a good thing, more than 800 war horses are very precious.

But Zhang Fei muttered dissatisfiedly: "Cao Cao gave us military rations according to the cost, and also recorded the big brother's victory this time in the credit book, but he didn't give it to our sergeant. The brothers brought from Peiguo can pass I'm sorry for making such a fuss."

"Brother, do you need to discuss this matter with Cao Cao? After all, there are still battles to be fought in the future, and the troops are all wiped out. How will I deal with myself in the future?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei shook his head and said nothing.

It can be seen that his heart is quite heavy.

After a long time, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Second brother and third brother go to the barracks for a walk. At this time, you should stay with the brothers."

Guan Zhang glanced at each other, knowing that he had something on his mind, he hesitated to speak a few times, finally nodded, and both of them left.

After the two left, Liu Bei's eyes were a little wet, his fists turned white, and he choked up and murmured:
"Ancestors and ancestors, Liu Bei is ashamed of the blood of the great ancestors. He couldn't save the emperor from fire and water. He actually watched the Cao thief force the emperor to issue a secret edict with his finger blood, begging his ministers to be king."

Dou Da's tears welled up in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and roared hysterically in his heart.

Your Majesty, wait a little longer. After I gain the trust of the thieves and return to Xuzhou, I will definitely start from behind!
"Your Majesty, Grand Administrator Yuan Yin was kicked out of Danyang by Sun Ce, and now the entire territory of Danyang is under Sun Ce's control!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Cheng, who went to Guangling to supervise the grain, reported that the prefect Wu Jing did not let him enter the city at all!"

"Your Majesty, Chen Lan and Lei Bo have defected with their soldiers, and they will take over the mountains and become kings in the area of ​​Mount Yun!"

"Your Majesty, according to the battle report from the front, Li Feng's troops were defeated by Cao Jun's forward Liu Bei. During Qiao Rui's rest period, Cao Jun's trick to lure the enemy was used, and the loss of more than [-] troops!"

Snapped!
"Enough is enough, don't talk anymore!" Sitting on the dragon chair made of pure gold, Yuan Shu, who was wearing a yellow silk dragon robe with a black background, trembled angrily.

He couldn't understand why these horrible things happened one after another when he didn't even sit in the dragon chair.

Wu Jing did not make a clear statement, but Yuan Shu knew that if he could not defeat Cao Cao, Guangling would change hands day and night.

As for Lei Bu and Chen Lan, there are only a few thousand subordinates, even if they are angry, it is within the tolerance range.

The most hateful thing is the Jiangdong side. He let Sun Ce go there, not simply because he was greedy for the jade seal, but because he had a certain consideration.

Because the Yangzhou shepherd conferred by the imperial court was Liu Yao, not Yuan Shu, he was the Yangzhou shepherd who mentioned it himself, so the counties in Jiangdong have the meaning of independence except for Danyang Yuan Yin who is his own.

Letting Sun Ce go there is to let him and Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and the others bite dogs, and finally profit from it, and catch them all in one go. I never thought it would become like this.

Yuan Shu leaned tiredly on the dragon chair, pinching the center of his brow with his right hand, messy.

At this time, Shu Shao stood up, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, although the war outside is not going well, there are also troubles in our territory right now. I suggest that we first quell the internal turmoil."

"What civil turmoil?" Yuan Shu asked impatiently.

Shu Shao sighed, and shook his head melancholy, "Last year, there were many river diversions and embankment breaches in Lujiang and Anfeng, plus the bandits, and now there is a famine, and the people gather in the government office to ask for food. With the trend of civil upheaval, I implore Your Majesty to open a warehouse for food relief!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu glanced at him disdainfully.

In the eyes of Yuan Shu, who lived in the strongest family in the late Han Dynasty since he was a child, this is an insignificant matter.

Not to mention ignoring the life and death of the people, but the investment in rescue is completely out of proportion to the income.

Among the common people, young and middle-aged people either join the army or become serfs in a powerful family. The worst is to become a bandit. If you don't accept it, what's the use of saving it yourself?

This kind of situation is not a case of Yangzhou, it is everywhere in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty.

"Troublemakers! No food, no food, wouldn't they rent out their extra shops to collect rent? The extra horse-drawn carts and ox carts can go to the street to pull goods for others."

Ah this
Yuan Shu's words made Shu Shao stunned on the spot, and when he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand, "There is indeed food in the city right now, but once the war starts, the consumption will be huge, so I don't care about them, so don't mention it again. !"

After Yuan Shu took a deep breath, he felt that his brain had calmed down a little, so he sat upright and said in the middle of the day: "Decree, order Ji Ling to lead the [-] troops to rush to the front line of Ku County to help!"

"Your Majesty, if the general and the trilogy are transferred to Ku County, what should we do if Lu Bu makes trouble?" Yan Xiang, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear it any longer.

"Lu Bu."

Yuan Shu clicked his tongue, and said in displeasure, "Didn't he intend to attack Guangling in Xiapi? How could he come to Jiujiang? Besides, he only has a few soldiers."

"Your Majesty, with the General here, Lu Bu didn't dare to do anything, but His Majesty transferred Ji Ling away, and then Xuyi is an empty city. How can Lu Bu not be tempted?"

Yan Xiang's words still made Yuan Shu hesitate, he raised his forehead, "Then do you have a plan?"

"Wei Chen suggested that the general Zhang Xun lead the [-] troops in the city to rush to the rescue. This Shouchun City has His Majesty personally sitting in charge, so nothing can be messed up!"

There are [-] troops in Shouchun City, and Huainan's elite are all among them.

Yuan Shu was not a fool, he knew that there would inevitably be chaos if he declared himself emperor, the [-] troops were reserved firstly to deter the powerful local families, and secondly, he also needed to deter Liu Biao.

Of course, the most important thing is that he never thought of fighting Cao Cao to the death. He knew too well that after a full-strength blow, he wanted to accumulate troops, money, food, and armaments, which would not happen overnight.

In his imagination, it should be Cao Cao who came to fight a few times symbolically, and he could fight back, and it would be fine if the two sides stopped fighting for a year and a half after going back and forth.

Yuan Shu calmed down, knowing that it was just a beautiful longing that existed in the past, and now Guangling, Danyang and even internal affairs have happened one after another. This battle is now a battle that has to be fought and must be won.

When the fluke mentality was erased, Yuan Shu quickly made a decision.

"The general ordered [-] troops immediately. Two days later, he sent his troops to the north, and must cut down Cao's bandits in Kuxian!"

As he said, he walked up to Zhang Xun and raised the sword at his waist horizontally, "At the same time, I will let Chang Nu lead 12 troops to set off from Xuyi and meet you in Kuxian. You, I hope the general will live up to his trust."

The Son of Heaven Sword, which handles life and death, is dedicated to doing good, as if His Majesty came in person.

"Even if I'm so heartbroken, I will let Cao thief die!" Zhang Xun, who was dressed in the official robe of the Zhong Dynasty, bowed and took the Tianzi sword respectfully with both hands.

retreated.

Hundreds of officials filed out from the hall.

Lu Su, who was not very conspicuous in the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief.

After two months, this day finally arrived.

He knew that he could act now.
