After Yuan Shu became emperor, he was very satisfied and was known as the Zhong family. Although Yan Xiang failed in persuasion, he was a loyal minister after all, and he could not abandon Yuan Shu and be loyal to the emperor. Therefore, although Yan Xiang did not approve of Yuan Shu's being emperor, he had to continue to give advice to Yuan Shu.
"My Lord."
"Yan Xiang is rude!" Yang Hong, who had just been promoted to Guanglu Xun, reprimanded: "now your majesty is the son of heaven. How can you still call your Lord?"
Yan Xiang looked at Yang Hong coldly and said coldly, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."
Yuan Shu, after all, had just become emperor, which was the time when he was most active in thinking. Therefore, he was interested in saying, "doctor Yan cares about state affairs. I'm very happy. Let's talk about it."
"After your majesty became emperor, Liu Ye claimed to be orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and he was bound to launch a crusade. Before he left, Liu Ziyang reorganized the subordinates of Zheng Bao and others, and now he is under the command of Xu Huang, Zhechong Zhonglang general under Liu Ye's command. " Yan Xiang said slowly.
"Xu Huang?" Hearing Yan Xiang's words, Ji lington got excited and said angrily: "my Lord, I'd like to invite some elite soldiers to take the Yinling city first, and capture him slowly and defeat Liu Ye's spirit!"
Yan Xiang nodded slightly: "my subordinates also mean that. The Yinling city is just to the east of Shouchun, which is very close to each other. Xu Huang is famous for his long drive into the army. If we wait for Liu Ye's army to come to the border and Xu Huang attacks from the flank, the pressure of our army will be very great."
"But..." Yan Xiang turned his words and said, "this time, we can't send general Ji to suppress Xu Huang."
Ji Ling's eyes glared: "doctor Yan, what's wrong? Don't believe me, the reason why I was defeated last time is for a reason. I am willing to issue a military order! "
Yan Xiang said with a wry smile: "general Ji, don't be impatient. Although Yinling city is very dangerous, how can you kill a chicken with an ox knife? Liu Ye will surely join Liu Bei and lead the Liangzhou army and Yuzhou soldiers to the south. They must be the main force of Liangzhou soldiers who have experienced many battles. If general Ji goes to attack Xu Huang, who will resist the fierce Liangzhou cavalry? "
Ji Ling curled his lips: "Yinling city is only a hundred miles away from Shouchun. It will arrive in one day. I will break the city on the fifth day and rush back immediately."
Yuan Shu said directly, "well, Ji Ling, what doctor Yan said is reasonable. You are my English cloth. Of course, you can't be overqualified."
After that, Yuan Shu ordered: "well, Le you lead 20000 troops to attack Yinling city as soon as possible. Even if you can't, you should firmly surround it. Don't let Xu Huang come out to stir up the situation, you know?"
"No, your majesty, don't worry." Yue has always been famous for its rapid march in Yuan Shu's army. He thought it would be very easy for Yuan Shu to hand over the task of quick combat and quick decision to himself.
Seeing that Yan Xiang was in the limelight, Yang Hong, who had always been against him, was not willing to be overshadowed by Yan Xiang. Therefore, he got up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."
Yuan Shu ha ha a smile: "good good, Yang Qing can come quickly."
Yang Hong bowed his hand and a look of pride appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, it's the so-called pre emptive, then controlled by people. Your majesty calls the emperor to establish the Zhong family. The people in Huainan are inspired. Our army should take the opportunity to open up territory and open up new territory. How can we wait for Liu Ye's army here passively?"
Yuan Shu was not a fool. He quickly understood Yang Hong's meaning: "do you mean we take the initiative to attack?"
Yang Hong nodded slowly: "yes, while it still takes time for Liu Ye to mobilize his troops, our army should dispatch a large army to the north, quickly seize Yingchuan county and Chen state, and take charge of Yuzhou, and then fight Liu Ye's army in accordance with the geographical conditions!"
Yang Hong used a bewitching way of saying: "today, the princes of the world see the founding of our Zhong family, but they don't come to join us. It's just because they are worried about whether the Zhong family can replace the Han Dynasty. As long as our army can resist the Han Army, all the heroes in the world will naturally submit themselves to his majesty. Then they can order King Zhao, Qiao Hou and sun Zhengnan to hunt in the Central Plains and attack the Central Plains in one fell swoop Move the capital to Luoyang and inherit Datong! "
Listening to Yang Hong's description, Yuan Shu's smile gradually expanded. It seemed that his description had come true. He was about to wear a gun crown and become a treasure. He announced the establishment of the Zhong family in Luoyang, the political center of the Han Dynasty.
"Good!"
Yuan Shu almost roared out the word and said excitedly, "where is Zhang Xun?"
"I am here."
After Yuan's accession to the throne of the army, after all, he was defeated by general Zhang xunzu, but he was defeated by general Zhang xunzhu.
This is not to say that Ji Ling's position is inferior to that of Zhang Xun. Ji Ling is in charge of Yuan Shu's personal safety as Jin Wuwei, just like Xia Houdun and Xu Chu. Is XiahouDun high enough? In terms of relationship, he was Cao Cao's brother, and his identity was a general. However, Xu Chu was the only one who could approach Cao Cao at will. Even Cao Ren and other grand generals had to report before they could enter.
"Zhang Xun, if you lead 60000 soldiers to Yuzhou in the north, you must defeat Liu Bei and win the second County of Yingchuan, do you know?" Yuan Shu ordered.
In the past, he gave Ji Ling only 30000 soldiers and horses, but now he has doubled it to Zhang Xun. This shows how strong Yuan Shu's heart is to win Henan.
Zhang Xun immediately clasped his fist and said in a loud voice, "please rest assured that our army will be invincible wherever it goes."Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction: "good, good, since so, you can go."
Ji Ling was in a hurry. Did his majesty forget himself: "Lord... Your majesty! What about me? How can we fight without me? "
Yuan Shu smiles: "Ji Ling, from today on, your identity is different. You are Jin Wuwei. You should protect my integrity. I am the son of heaven. I can't do any damage. Protecting me will be a great reward. It's more important than winning a battle. "
Ji Ling scratched his head and didn't speak.
"In this case, let's ask the two generals to send troops as soon as possible, the sooner the better." Yuan Shu urged.
"No!"
Before Liu Ye leads the army to set out, Yuan Shu is "preemptive", sending lechen and Zhang Xun to lead a total of 80000 troops to attack Yinling City, Yingchuan county and Chen state respectively.
However, although Yuan Shu's army had a large number of troops, in addition to many of his senior generals' cronies, there were only a group of peasants left. After a piece of armour and a spear, they were formed.
This group of people, not to mention hard iron armour, did not even have the second-class leather armor. The pole of a spear is wood, and only the tip of the spear has a poor bit of iron. If it had not been for this spear, they would have been covered with a yellow turban, and they would have been believed to be yellow scarf thieves.
Yuan Shu's so-called 100000 strong soldiers were mostly of this kind. In addition, those civilian men who had been recruited to build palaces made Yuzhou and Huainan rich, and they were also made a mess.
