The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 223 Convincing Disarmament
"Does uncle Guo already have a clever plan?" Emperor Xian asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Yuan has a tiger talisman in his hand. With the tiger talisman, anyone can mobilize Xiapi soldiers and horses. As long as we get the tiger talisman, we can seize the military power in Xiapi." Dong Cheng had already heard about the tiger talisman.

"Then how can I get the Tiger Talisman?"

"We can't do it alone. We need the help of the Mi family to have a chance of success. We not only need to steal the tiger amulet, but if we have the chance, we must also eradicate Li Yuan in one fell swoop, but the premise is that the Mi family can help us." Dong Dong Cheng has a plan in mind.

"The Mi family? Is that the rich man in Xuzhou? I heard that the Mi family is loyal to Li Yuan, so how could they help us deal with Li Yuan?" Emperor Xian didn't quite believe that the Mi family was willing to help. Things will be revealed.

"Your Majesty does not know. Li Yuanguang recently built an academy to provide opportunities for the poor to study and become officials. This approach will definitely be opposed by the gentry. Xiapimi's family is the largest gentry in Xuzhou. Even if they don't say it, but I must have been dissatisfied with Li Yuan in my heart, and I heard that Mi Fang of the Mi family was once suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and now Mi Zhu has been recalled from Langya to Xiapi. I think he and Li Yuan also have some hatred. Li Yuan still has some hope."

This information was obtained by Dong Cheng within a month. The Mi family has a very large influence in Xuzhou. If they can get the support of the Mi family, then they are at least [-]% sure that they will succeed in this matter.

"I didn't expect that there was such a gap between Li Yuan and Mi's family, and I will leave everything to Guojiu." Emperor Xian asked Dong Cheng to take charge of this matter, and there was no one around him except Dong Cheng.

"It's Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng revealed a dark smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Yuan didn't know that Emperor Xian and Dong Cheng were going to deal with him in secret. At this time, he was discussing with Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu. The three of them were brothers, but Zhao Yun became a teacher of Tong Yuan after Zhang Xiu left, so Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu have never met before, so the relationship between these two people is a little strange, Li Yuan asks them to come out for a meal together from time to time, to discuss military matters, the purpose is to cultivate the relationship between them...

After Li Yuan's hard work for a month, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu got along pretty well, but right now Li Yuan has a very important matter to solve, that is, Zhang Xiu has a lot of soldiers and horses, and he originally planned to expand his army to 3 troops in Xiapi , but Zhang Xiu now has 6 soldiers, plus the [-] in Xiapi, that is [-]. Although Xiapi can support [-] soldiers, this is not Li Yuan's original intention, so he wants to reduce Zhang Xiu's army. The number of soldiers under his command.

"Brother, I want to talk to you about something, but I'm afraid you might misunderstand." Li Yuan didn't know how to speak. Although he and Zhang Xiu were brothers and had a close relationship, it wasn't the one who controlled the troops. Zhang Xiu was Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji had just surrendered for more than a month. If Zhang Ji were to be disarmed now, it would definitely arouse his suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"Hahahaha, junior brother and whoever, if there is anything you can't say to the senior brother, just say it." Zhang Xiu said heartily.

"Then junior brother, I will explain it clearly. I think the senior brother knows that our army has always implemented a strategy of elite soldiers. As the saying goes, the soldiers recruited by the army should not be too young or too old, because this will affect the combat effectiveness of the army. However, I see that there are young and old soldiers under my brother's command, ranging from five to sixty-year-olds, down to children in their teens, and they are uneven, which will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the army." Li Yuan said bluntly.

Zhang Xiu already understood, "Does senior brother want me to disarm?"

Li Yuan nodded, "That's right, that's right, but you just surrendered to me, if I let you disarm now, you must think that I want to reduce your military power, but I have never thought about it this way, all my thoughts are Start with the big picture."

"Don't worry, brother, brother will never think about it. The brothers under his command are all tigers. Your suggestion must have your reason. However, although I am in command of the soldiers and horses brought from Luoyang, it is my uncle who is really in charge. Whether you agree or not depends on my uncle's will." Zhang Xiu trusted Li Yuan, but his uncle was not necessarily so.

"Then please brother go back and tell your uncle, I hope he can nod and agree." Although Li Yuan is Zhang Ji's lord now, Zhang Ji surrendered not long after all, and it will take a long time to completely surrender him. Not coming.

After Zhang Xiu left Li Yuan's mansion, he went to look for Zhang Ji. Zhao Yun also left and went to the barracks to train the cavalry. Yuan Shao's last batch of horses had been delivered to Xiapi a few months ago. Now the number of soldiers in the Xiapi Flying Cavalry Army has reached 700 People, led by Zhao Yun, assisted by Lu Lingqi and Zang Hong.

Zhang Ji was resting in the mansion, Li Yuan saw that he was kind to Zhang Ji for Zhang Xiu's sake, Zhang Ji gave him a mansion as soon as he came to Xiapi, it was used to buy people's hearts, Zhang Ji was very grateful.

Because of his old age, Zhang Ji seldom commanded soldiers and horses to train soldiers, and he left these matters to Zhang Xiu to handle.

"Is uncle there?" Zhang Xiu knocked on the door outside.

"Is it Xiu'er? Come in." Zhang Xiu responded.

Zhang Xiu opened the door and walked into the room. Zhang Ji's room was very simple, and there were not many maids in the house, because Zhang Xiu didn't like to be served all his life.

"Xiu'er pays respects to uncle."

"It's all my own people, you don't need to be polite, by the way, don't you need to go to the barracks to train soldiers and horses today?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Today, Junior Brother asked Xiu'er to discuss the matter of the military aircraft. There is one matter that I cannot decide on, so I ask Uncle to make a decision."

"whats the matter?"

"Junior brother, he wants us to disarm." Zhang Xiu recounted what he had discussed with Li Yuan.

"Disarmament, do you want to reduce our military power?" Zhang Ji unconsciously said, Li Yuan once promised him that if he surrendered to his [-] soldiers, he would still be under his control. Now Li Yuan wants to reduce his military power, so he has no choice but to Doubt Li Yuan's intentions.

"Uncle, don't think too much about it. Junior brother definitely doesn't mean that. He just thinks that our army's soldiers are uneven, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the army. That's why he proposed to me." Zhang Xiu explained to Li Yuan.

Zhang Ji bowed his head and thought, and said: "Based on your relationship with him, he probably didn't target you by doing this. After I came to Xiapi, I also inspected the soldiers and horses of each battalion in Xiapi. It is true that most of the soldiers under Li Yuan's command are between 20 and 30 years old." How old are you?"

"Uncle, do we need to disarm?"

"Xiu'er, my uncle is getting old. You don't need to discuss these matters with me in the future, you can decide on your own. I know that with your relationship with Li Yuan, it is impossible for him to harm you. You should work hard under his command. Don't worry." Let me down." Zhang Xiu cultivated Zhang Xiu since he was a child, so he has great expectations for Zhang Xiu. He is already old, and now he will not have too many opportunities to make meritorious service if he surrenders to Li Yuan, so he can only put his hope on Zhang Xiu. Embroidered on the body.

"Don't worry, uncle, I won't let you down."
