Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 830 The Flames of War Spread 2
In Yuzhou, Shouchun, and Yuan Shu's palace, the sound of extravagance could be heard faintly, and the sound of men and women having fun could be heard from a certain palace. Outside the palace, a group of ministers were whispering to each other, and they were hesitating whether to disturb him at this time. Yuan Shu.For the sake of self-preservation, it is best for them to stay here until Yuan Shu summons them.

But as a courtier, he should naturally think about his lord. Rest assured that there is a vacancy in the west of Yuzhou, and Chen Lan's [-] army has been wiped out. If such news is not reported to Yuan Shu in time, they don't know what will happen, Liu Bei Will he attack the nearest one in one fell swoop, and will Cao Cao in the north take this opportunity to detour south to avoid Ji Ling's army.No one can guarantee these things.

Finally, the extravagant sounds in the palace gradually stopped, and Yuan Shu finally ordered the ministers to be summoned. Every time he discussed important matters, Yuan Shu would arrange them after his own enjoyment. Perhaps, in his opinion, the only way to satisfy his own desires was to satisfy his desires first. He has the motivation to do other things.If a person cannot restrain his desire, then he is not far from failure.

"Why are you so anxious to see me?" Yuan Shu asked impatiently: "If you have something to do, go back to the court if you have nothing to do. I support you people. Don't you know how to solve my problems? Or else What am I keeping you for?"

"Your Majesty, the traitor Liu Bei has broken through our western defense line in Yuzhou, and he may break in at any time now." A minister couldn't help but said: "Our army is under attack from both sides. If Liu Bei is allowed to attack Yuzhou, then the north General Ji Ling is still in a stalemate with Cao Cao at this moment. If the war in the west affects the north, the 20 army under General Ji Ling will be in danger. Your Majesty, it is troublesome now, Your Majesty can no longer Just for fun."

"Impossible." Yuan Shu said angrily, "Some time ago, Chen Lan sent back a victory report. Liu Bei only had 5 troops. My western defense line has nearly [-] troops, and Chen Lan alone has [-] soldiers. It's only a few days. Liu Bei Why call in? It's a joke. You courtiers, don't you know how to scare people? "

"Your Majesty, Chen Lan was greedy for meritorious deeds, but fell into Liu Bei's tricks. Of the 1 soldiers in our army, only more than [-] returned in the end, and the rest were all gone." The minister also made up his mind. He didn't care that Yuan Shu would punish him.

"What, what did you say?" Yuan Shu stood up fiercely and shouted: "[-] troops, that's [-] troops, what is Chen Lan doing for food, my [-] troops are gone like this?"I will condemn him, I will destroy his whole family..."

After roaring a few times, Yuan Shu suddenly felt a little dizzy. He was really pissed off. 7 people were gone in the First World War. How long did it take? Liu Bei's side was only 5 people. In Yuan Shu's original thinking, No matter how bad Chen Lan is, at least he can resist Liu Bei. After all, the strength of both sides lies there, but who would have guessed that such a big change took place in less than a month.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Looking at Yuan Shu who was about to faint, everyone panicked, the maid hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuan Shu, and the ministers also panicked, some shouted for the imperial doctor, Some shouted for water, and Yuan Shu was so dizzy that his ministers were all headless chickens.

"Send an order to Ji Ling to guard the northern defense line." Yuan Shu came to his senses and ordered: "Don't let things in the west affect the battle situation in the north. Ji Ling is not mediocre. He can resist for so long, which shows that he still treats Cao Cao well." I know a little bit, but I hate Chen Lan for ruining my [-] army with one hand, and now I am in trouble in the west of Yuzhou.

Chen Ji, you immediately lead 3 people to the western defense line for reinforcements. You must not let Liu Bei come in. Remember, don’t be greedy for meritorious deeds, just defend the city. Liu Bei is a rootless person. For logistical support, as long as we hold on for a month, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to move forward, and he will definitely retreat at that time, understand? "

"The general understands." Chen Ji quickly replied: "The general will be appointed as the lord to guard the western defense line of Yuzhou, please rest assured, the lord..."

After hastily discussing these matters with the ministers, Yuan Shu went to rest, and the expressions of those ministers were not looking good. This was not only because of the accident in the west, but also because of Yuan Shu's current situation.

If Yuan Shu was wise enough, he would not be singing and singing every night at this time, greedy for pleasure.Everyone can see that Yuan Shu's body has been hollowed out. He is no longer the high-spirited young man with lofty aspirations. Like the old man, such a news actually made him faint.

In fact, Yuan Shu is not stupid, nor is he stupid, or else he would not have thought of so many things in a hurry, or else after Ji Ling's defeat in the north, Yuan Shu would not have blamed him.Yuan Shu could see all of this clearly. He understood the current situation, but he didn't understand it deeply.

After more than ten days of rectification, Liu Bei took Chen Dao as the vanguard and continued to command the army to advance. Among the more than 5 captives, more than 3 chose to surrender, and most of the rest were natives of Yuzhou. When they went home, Liu Bei didn't make things difficult for them, but it was still an extraordinary period, and it was impossible for Liu Bei to release them at this time. Therefore, Liu Bei kept them in the name of requisition, which was regarded as hiring them to do things. After the battle in Yuzhou was over, Liu Bei promised to let them go back and give them a certain reward.

According to the original plan, Liu Bei actually planned to rest for more than ten days, but Cao Cao had already learned that he had broken through Chen Lan's army. In order to break the deadlock, Cao Cao wrote many times asking Liu Bei to march to attract the main force of Yuan Shu's army. Withdrew some of Ji Ling's troops, but Liu Bei was also a master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle. At first, he always refused with various excuses. It wasn't until Cao Cao agreed to all Liu Bei's conditions that Liu Bei had the intention of marching.

"Cao Cao has paid half of the 20 shi of food and grass promised." Zhuge Liang looked at the advancing army under the mountain and said with a smile: If I'm not mistaken, Cao Cao planned to pay us the rest of the food and grass after capturing Yuzhou. My lord, Cao Cao is probably not that trustworthy. "

"So, we have to act first." Liu Bei sneered: "Who is Cao Cao? Don't I know that the fat he eats in his mouth is impossible to spit out. We are also under the control of others now. If we listen to everything His, then we don’t have to fight anymore, hehe, Kong Ming, we have to control our own destiny.”

"Your subordinate understands." Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Cao Cao's original intention was to use us, hehe, he had a wishful thinking, and his subordinates naturally understood. Don't worry, my lord, we will never be controlled by others."
