Xun You continued:"I estimate that Dong Zhuo will publicize my lord's becoming the shepherd of Jingzhou in a big way in the future, so as to provoke a conflict between my lord and Yuan Shu, so that we can make Yuan Shu and Sun Jian attack each other;"

"In this way, Dong Zhuo can not only vent his evil anger, but also restrain us from Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, so that we have no intention to take care of him and the alliance of princes to discuss Dong.

Li Yan couldn't help but said:"But my lord has no intention of taking Nanyang now."

Xun You smiled and shook his head and said,"But Yuan Shu doesn't know!" You may not believe it either;"

"After all, we have already been fighting Yuan Shu for nearly a month in Xinye and Deng County!"

"In this case, Yuan Shu is likely to strike first and attack us first."

"Have to guard against it!

Li Yan nodded immediately and said clearly:"Yes!""

This is indeed what Yuan Shu would do.

"What's your suggestion?"

Su Xuan asked next.

Xun You immediately said:"My opinion is that the soldiers and horses on the Nanyang side should stay still and wait for Lord Yuan Shu to attack;"

"Then, we give him a tough blow and win against him with an overwhelming advantage;"

"Then, come back to have peace talks with him. Bing said that we have no intention of capturing Nanyang for the time being!"

"You can make an agreement with him that everything will wait until the princes alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo, and then fight for the ownership of Nanyang."

"Come to think of it, as long as Yuan Shu is not stupid after being beaten awake, he will agree!"

If you don't agree, just beat him until he agrees.

However, this is likely to miss the chance for the princes to attack Dong.

Xun You knows his lord's plan.

Although his lord is not very interested in crusade against Dong Zhuo, he is interested in the millions of people from Sili Luoyang. I am very interested in the population!

I have to participate no matter what, just take the opportunity to capture part of the population.

After all, in the future struggle for hegemony, the population is the most important

"agree! Tian

Feng also expressed his approval at this time:"It is not appropriate for us to completely betray Yuan Shu now, lest people say that we have ignored the overall situation and colluded with Dong Zhuo, which will affect the lord's reputation!""

This is very likely to happen.

He believes that Yuan Shao and the others should be very aware of the threat from their lord. If given the opportunity, they will never be stingy in attacking their lord.

"Um! Su

Xuan listened, nodded and said:"Then just follow what Gongda said!" After all, it also takes time to digest other counties."

"I immediately gave orders to Huang Zhong and Dian Wei to prepare for the enemy;"

"In addition, after the imperial court's appointment was conveyed, Zhang He's Xiaoqi battalion was transferred, and I personally took the soldiers from the personal guard battalion to assist in the battle and met with Yuan Shu for a while."

Speaking of which, he and Yuan Shu haven't seen each other for several years!

The last time they met was when he married Xun Cai.

Su Xuan was actually quite lucky that his neighbor was Yuan Shu. If it were Yuan Shao, it would be even more troublesome and difficult. Deal with some.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the imperial envoy finally arrived at Jiangling City in Nanjun and conveyed the decree.

Su Xuan officially became the shepherd of Jingzhou.

But because of the deliberate delay by Dong Zhuo's envoy and Dong Zhuo's intentional propaganda.

Yuan Shu's side He had received the news that Su Xuan was going to become the shepherd of Jingzhou a day earlier.

He wanted to intercept Dong Zhuo's envoy, but he couldn't find anyone at all.

In the end, he had to give up.

Of course, this was also because he knew that if he stopped it, he would Useless

"Damn Dong Zhuo, did he deliberately take revenge on me?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to attack him, so he went to Yuan Shao! Why are you targeting me? I haven't targeted him yet! Yuan

Shu roared angrily.

This is too much!

Yan Xiang and Ji Ling on the side were speechless after hearing this.

He thought to himself:"My lord!" You and Yuan Shao are a family. In the final analysis, what happened this time is that Yuan has tricked Dong Zhuo, and even the boss has been arrested and thrown into the sky prison!"

"Do you still think you can stay out of it?"

Enjoying the benefits brought by the Yuan family, but not wanting the trouble.

How can there be such a beautiful thing?

"Lord! Su Xuan has become the shepherd of Jingzhou. He may not be at ease next. He may send troops to Nanyang and has to guard against it. The general will ask for orders to take the initiative and attack Su Xuan first:"

"At least, he must first pull out his troops and strongholds in Nanyang, and drive his tentacles out of Nanyang;"

"Otherwise, they can cause deterrence and trouble to us at any time;"

"It will seriously interfere with our subsequent dispatch of troops to Luoyang."

Ji Ling took the initiative to salute Yuan Shu and asked him to fight.

"Um? After hearing this

, Yuan Shu frowned slightly and said,"But Su Xuan's Xuanjia Army and Xuanwu Camp in Xinye are very powerful. Haven't we already encountered them before?" It's impossible to deal with it!"

"Even if we are able to win based on numerical superiority in the end, our army will probably suffer heavy losses;"

"Isn’t this worth the loss?"

"Can't you be kind to Su Xuan, point out that this is just Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, and let him take care of the overall situation?"

"Speaking of which, Su Xuan and I are still good friends!"

"The little friction before didn't completely break the skin;"

"I see that he didn't stop me from taking Nanyang before, let alone have any thoughts of fighting with me. He probably still remembers our friendship and won't be my enemy, right?"

Yan Xiang and Ji Ling couldn't help rolling their eyes when they heard their lord's habitual naive thoughts.

Yan Xiang couldn't help but complain:"My good lord! The friendship between you is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute interests!"

"The reason why General Su Xuan did not stop us from taking Nanyang and actually fight with us was because he was just the governor of Nanjun at that time, and he had no legitimate reason to stop and take Nanyang;"

"But now it's completely different!"

"He is the shepherd of Jingzhou and has the power to control the entire Jingzhou;"

"There is also a reason to force us to hand over control of Nanyang!"

The forms are different, and the results are naturally very different.

"That's right!

Ji Ling also nodded in agreement and said,"I think Su Xuan will definitely have a fight with us!" After hearing this, Yuan

Shu frowned:"Is it really the only way to fight?" Can we beat it?"

"Fight even if you can’t beat him! Ji Ling said firmly:"

At least, we must show our uncompromising attitude;"

"Your lord will never want to give up Nanyang, right?"

"If so, then pretend I didn’t say it!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately became furious and said excitedly:"Give up? How could you give up? Why should I give up?"

"Does he know how much effort my Yuan family has put into planning Nanyang?"

"Do you know how much energy and financial resources I have invested in Nanyang these days?"

"In short, it is impossible to give up! Absolutely impossible!"

"But I don’t want to lose!"

"If we lose, we also have nothing!"

"Do you have any idea?"

If possible, he really doesn't want to fight Su Xuan at this juncture.

There is no benefit in winning or losing.

Now is the time when all the princes are developing rapidly and accumulating strength quickly. If he fights with Su Xuan at this time, he will win. , with the fighting power of Su Xuan's troops, he would also be greatly damaged, which would make him far behind other princes.

Especially Yuan Shao, a bastard.

If he loses, it will be even worse for him. Not only will he lose his troops, but he will also lose his generals. I guess I have to keep Nanyang completely.

No matter how you calculate it, it’s not worth it.

"This!"

Yan Xiang and Ji Ling were speechless for a while after hearing this.

Ji Ling was completely helpless and unsure.

However, Yan Xiang thought for a while and said:"Lord! It’s not like there’s nothing you can do!"

"We can definitely use war to make peace"

"Um?"

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said with a confused look on his face:"What is the use of war to promote peace? Yan Xiang, if you have something to say, just say it. Why bother? I don't understand it at all!"

What bothers him the most is that these scholars make these roundabout ways. It

's so annoying!

It seems that you are talking in a serious way, but I can't understand it, so you feel a sense of accomplishment?

Yan Xiang's expression froze slightly, and he thought:"My lord! Could you please be more careful when you speak? Even if you don't understand, as the lord you can't say it!"

"If you lose any sense of mystery and mastery in yourself, how can you convince the public in the future?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

That is to say, he and Ji Ling are die-hard fans of Yuan Shu, and there is no one else here.

Otherwise, these words alone can make Yuan Shu serious in the world. His reputation was greatly reduced.

What was a lord with no scheming and ability doing here?

Yan Xiang took a deep breath, afraid that Yuan Shu would say something shocking, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately replied:"My lord!"

"Promoting peace through war means that we must fight Su Xuan first;"

"It doesn't matter what your status is, but it must show the strength of our army!"

"We must make General Su Xuan feel that even if they can defeat us, they will definitely pay a heavy price;"

"In this way, we can take the opportunity to send an invitation to General Su Xuan for peace talks;"

"After that, I will go with you, my lord, to have peace talks with General Su Xuan!"

"General Su Xuan was forced to temporarily suspend his troops with the righteousness of asking Dong to rescue the Emperor, and took the priority of asking Dong to save the Emperor to temporarily maintain the peace between us;"

"All disputes between us will be discussed after the discussion is over."

"This will buy us enough time to develop and grow, and at the same time allow us to take deep roots in Nanyang and consolidate our rule here;"

"By the time the protest against Dong is over, the formality will no longer be used at all;"

"Perhaps, by then we will have enough strength to completely defeat General Su Xuan, and even take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Jingzhou is unknown!"

"Of course, it would be even better to win a battle directly, which would be more conducive to subsequent negotiations with General Su Xuan;"[]

"In this way, we can take more initiative."

After saying that, Yan Xiang stopped and looked at Yuan Shu, waiting for his decision.

"So this is ah! After hearing this, Yuan

Shu suddenly realized:"If you just say that, I will understand!""

"It was just four words before, how could I possibly know what you were thinking?"

With that said, Yuan Shu ignored Yan Xiang's twitching cheeks and waved his hands:"OK! Then just follow what you said, Yan Xiang!"

"Ji Ling, lead the main force of our army and have a good fight with Su Xuan;"

"With one day as the limit, regardless of victory or defeat, I must withdraw and cease the war. Then, I am sending an invitation for peace talks. Do you understand?"

0 Asking for Flowers

Yan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yuan Shu finally had a normal mind. The master's one-day limit was simply a stroke of genius!

The master with a normal mind is actually quite wise.

"Here!"

Ji Ling heard this and immediately accepted the order.

"correct! In this battle, remember to bring Sun Jian with you! Let him be the vanguard!"

"Regardless of other things, this guy is still very powerful!"

"Being a pioneer is just right."

Yuan Shuyou added.

He will not leave Sun Jian alone and let him waste food here.

"Here!"

Ji Ling naturally had no objection.

He also wished that Sun Jian would be the vanguard to attack Su Xuan's army!

By then, Sun Jian's men would suffer the most losses.

That's good!

On the same day, Ji Ling summoned Yuan Shu's 30,000 main force in Nanyang army, leaving 20,000 new soldiers to stay in Wancheng, taking Sun Jian and his troops with him, and marched towards Xinye.

How powerful is the intelligence capability of the secret guards in Nanyang?

Yuan Shu's every move has long been under surveillance.

As soon as Yuan Shu's army moved, the secret guards knew about it, and within a certain period of time, they used golden eagles to see the information and passed it to the Xinye garrison and Su Xuan in Jiangling.

Su Xuan received the news of Yuan Shu's army's dispatch and happened to have just met with the imperial court. The envoy accepted the appointment and became the shepherd of Jingzhou.

He immediately summoned the civil and military personnel who were still in Jiangling City and announced:"Yuan Shu has sent Ji Ling and Sun Jian to lead a total of 50,000 troops to kill Xinye;"

"time does not wait! Zhang He and Xu Chu, you go immediately to rectify the soldiers and horses of the Xiaoqi camp and the Guards camp. We will set off later and rush to Xinye as quickly as possible to fight Yuan Shu's army."

"Here!"

Zhang He and Xu Chu agreed with serious faces.

They didn't wait any longer and left directly to organize the army.

Su Xuan then said to everyone:"I am now the shepherd of Jingzhou. Naturally, I want to conquer the entire Jingzhou as soon as possible. Control is in hand;"

"Zi Long!"

"The end will be here!"

"You will lead the 6,000 soldiers and horses of Qinglong Battalion, with Xiahoulan, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan as deputy generals, and capture Wuling County and Lingling County as quickly as possible;"

"And cooperate with Zhicai, Yuanhao and others to arrange for officials to take over the government offices and powers of each county in these two counties. It is necessary to prevent chaos in these two counties. Is it possible to do this?"

"The last general accepts the order and will definitely live up to the lord's trust!"

Zhao Yun immediately accepted the order excitedly.

"Me too!"

Xiahou Lan, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan also came out to take orders.

"Um!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Gao Shun and Huang Gai and said,"Boping! Republish! You will lead 2,000 troops from the captured camp and 8,000 troops from Jiangling Navy respectively, and cooperate with each other to capture Changsha County and Jiangxia County as quickly as possible;"

"After that, he cooperated with Zilong to capture Guiyang County;"

"And cooperate with Zhicai and Yuanhao to allow our officials to smoothly accept the authority of the government office of this good county, do you understand?"

"Here!"

Huang Gai and Gao Shun also came out to receive orders.

Su Xuan continued:"Cai Mao, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin are Huang Gai's deputy generals for the time being, and they will obey his orders, listen more, see more, and learn more!"

"Su Zhan is the deputy general of Gao Shun. He obeys his orders, listens more, sees more, and learns more. There must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"

"I'm waiting for the order!"

Cai Mao, Su Zhan, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin all went out to take orders, their faces full of excitement.

They finally have a chance to pay off their debts!

Great!

That's right! Su Zhan He also owed a lot of merit points.

This was Su Xuan's intention. Even for his three younger brothers, he didn't provide them with everything for free. He just gave them certain conveniences in terms of permissions so that they could earn more if their merit levels were not enough. , and they can also redeem the resources required by skipping levels.

At the same time, the credit limit is a little higher than that of ordinary generals, and they can also enjoy overlord discounts when redeeming. The purpose is to prevent them from carrying it and stimulate and force them to continuously work hard to improve themselves.

In order to avoid becoming He ran out of pants or had to be eliminated because he couldn't keep up with him.

His three younger brothers are all very talented, so he will naturally not relax their training.

He wants to train his three younger brothers and even his father to become better than Cao Cao in the future. There are clan generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan under his command.

Then, Su Xuan looked at Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Xun You, Li Yan, Cheng Yu and others and said:"Gongda! Zhicai, Yuanhao! Zhongde's follow-up arrangements for officials in the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia County will be left to you to take charge of the issue of stable governance!"

"Zhengfang, you cooperate with me to express their views;"

"After taking these four counties, Zhicai served as the prefect of Nanjun and continued to be in charge of Nanjun. While maintaining the stability of Nanjun, he also dispatched grain, grass, weapons, and officials to the various armies and counties....Wait, it’s going to be a little harder!"

I'll ask Zhengfang to help you and give you a hand!"

With that said, Su Xuan looked at Li Yan and said:"Zhengfang, I have to thank you for the hard work! Next, for a period of time, you and Zhicai will be under great pressure!"

"The lord will not be disappointed!"

Li Yan and Xi Zhicai both stood up and cupped their hands. ps: Please order first, customize, and support us!.
