Yang Hong said: "Duke Ming, the subordinates have indeed spoken to others. It seems that Duke Ming should obey the imperial decree. Even if Duke Ming does not enter the court in person, he should choose a person with both political integrity and ability, and go to Xu County to meet him. Lord Ming. When the Lord was in Chang'an, the road was blocked, so Duke Ming had been unable to communicate with the court for three or four years. Now the Lord and the court have moved to Xu County, which is close to Nanyang. Shouldn't they all send officials to the DPRK for an audience? Besides, the Sage has already issued an decree twice to summon Duke Ming to the DPRK, but Duke Ming has repeatedly refused. Is it an excuse? If you do this, you will lose the world's reputation and will inevitably lead to criticism from the people at home and abroad! The reason why the officials have this stupid opinion is also for the sake of Duke Ming, who is worried that Duke Ming's reputation will be damaged. Among them There is only loyalty to Duke Ming, but no other intentions!"

Yuan Shao consciously passed the sentence just now and had already clicked on Yang Hong. After listening to Yang Hong's self-defensive explanation, he didn't take it too seriously. Historian, I am also a brat, of course I can trust Chang Shi!… What Chang Shi just said is also correct, but why did I refuse to enter the dynasty? The internal reason, Chang Shi should also know? It was I who refused to obey the will, but now the imperial court is under the control of Xun Zhenzhi! As Chang Shi said, what Xun Zhenzhi said 'on the side of the couch', if you intend to invade Nanyang, then if I go to the court in person, I'm afraid it will be exactly what Xun Zhen intended! I can't say, I will be detained by him in the court, and I will be unpredictable! And if I don't go to the court in person, and send someone else to go there, the court has already been taken over by Xun Zhen. Control, the Holy Master is also a child, so what use can it play? That’s why I didn’t go to the court in person, and I didn’t send any officials to enter the court on my behalf.”

Yang Hong had nothing to answer, but replied, "Yes, what Duke Ming said is."

Yuan Shao leaned back slightly, adjusted his sitting position to be more comfortable, and asked Yang Hong, saying: "Qing just said that Xun Zhenzhi coveted me in Nanyang for this vain plan, I should make preparations early, if you want to come, you must It's a prepared plan, tell me about it."

Yang Hong said: "Duke Ming, the officials did not dare to say that they had prepared a plan, but after careful consideration, they did have some humble opinions. The officials foolishly thought that after the imperial court moved to Xu County, Nanyang would now be the place to be. Under the two-sided attack of the north is the chariot and the south is Liu Jingsheng, even if it can be preserved temporarily, it will be difficult to protect in the long run, because it is the best policy at the moment, there are only two."

Yuan Shu said, "Chang Shi has two strategies to deal with this situation? What are the two strategies?"

Yang Hong hesitated for a while, but finally came up with the first countermeasure, saying: "If you can get the help of the right general, the threat in the direction of Yingchuan County can be alleviated, and there is no need to worry about chariots and horses. This is one of the strategies. "

Yuan Shu was unhappy when he heard the words, and said, "Is Chang Shi asking me to ask Yuan Shao to help me? Yuan Shao, my slave! Is there anyone who is the master, who asks for help instead? This strategy will not work, it will not work!"

Yang Hong knew earlier that Yuan Shu would definitely not agree with his first strategy, so although he had thought of his first strategy, he had never mentioned it to Yuan Shu. The reason for this was because he had guessed from his old friends' letters that Xun Zhen might soon attack Nanyang, and the danger was imminent, so he had to try to mention it to Yuan Shu.

But as he expected, Yuan Shu really refused to agree.

Yang Hong knew that this could not be forced, so he stopped talking about this policy and said: "Hongzhi's policy, if Duke Ming thinks it is impossible, then he will use Hongzhi's ignorance. This strategy may be in response to the current crisis in Nanyang.”

Yuan Shu felt uncomfortable in his stomach, he touched his stomach, then stroked his beard, frowned, and said, "Turn to Yangzhou? Deye, you have already told me about your strategy before, and I have already answered it at the time. You, your strategy, I'm afraid it won't be implemented well."

Yang Hong said: "Yes, after Hong offered this policy to Duke Ming last time, Duke Ming pointed out to Hong that there are two points that this policy is difficult to implement. The first point is that until now, Lv Bu has only acquired half of the county in Jiangxia. The mouth and other places are still occupied by Huang Zu. If you turn to Yangzhou, Huang Zu may send troops from Xiakou and block it if you move north. At the same time, seeing that the main force of our army has left Nanyang, Liu Jingsheng may also take the opportunity to attack. Maybe Yangzhou has not been gained and Nanyang has been lost. This is a difficult point. If we want to enter Yangzhou, we must first conquer the Lujiang River. Lujiang is known to produce sperm, and once our army attacks Lujiang, Jiujiang, Fuling, and even Kuaiji and Wujun will be possible. They will all rush to the aid of the Lujiang River, because they want to speed up the Lujiang River, which will not be easy, and if we get into a stalemate, our army will lose ground and advance, which is the second difficulty."

"That's right!" Yuan Shu corrected Yang Hong and said, "Jiujiang, Fuling and other counties will not 'maybe' help Lujiang, but they will definitely help Lujiang! If Virtue is deadlocked and Nanyang is lost, Huang Zu will harass me again. After the army, what should we do? Aren't you and I going to die in Jiangxia and Lujiang? You can't ignore this terrible consequence!"

Yang Hong said: "Yes, Duke Ming. But after receiving the advice of Duke Ming last time, the subordinates thought carefully and thought that these two difficulties could actually be solved."

Yuan Shu asked: "Can you solve it? Deye, how to solve it? What solution did you think of?"

Yang Hong said: "The first difficulty, Duke Ming, was only Lu Bu's army before.

The attack on Huangzu led to a stalemate. Now that Guo Si has surrendered to Duke Ming, why not transfer him and his troops to Jiangxia County and join forces with Lu Bu to attack Huangzu? No matter how cunning Huang Zu is, he will definitely be defeated! Since Huang Zu is defeated, Jiangxia County is fully owned by Duke Ming, and if Lujiang County is attacked again, there will be no more worries of Huang Zu's harassment! "

Yuan Shu said, "What about the second difficulty?"

Yang Hong said: "Lujiang is a solid producer of fine soldiers, but Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, a scholar, doesn't know the strategy, and is not an enemy of Duke Ming; and even though there are soldiers from Jiujiang and Fuling counties to help him, he Liu Deng is the only one who can fight in the county. Lü Bu and Guo Si are all powerful generals, and they are enough to fight against them. They can also use them to fight the thieves in Chaohu. Duke Ming can use them. Attacking, and with the aid of the thieves in Chaohu, Hongzhi's foolish opinion, it should not be difficult to conquer! It is the second difficulty, so there is nothing to worry about."

- Xun Zhen arranged for the garrison in Jiujiang and Fuling. His generals were originally led by Liu Deng and Wen Ping, and Dong Zhi and Wei Weng as assistants. Now Wen Ping has been transferred, so Yang Hong said, "Liu Deng is the only one." In fact, when Xun Zhen transferred Wenpin, in order not to affect the radiation of Jiujiang and Fuling to Jiangxia County and the shock and deterrence to Yangzhou, he made Lu Su, Gan Ning and their two commanders form an army. The three thousand boat divisions who have been around for a long time have supplemented Jiujiang and Fuling in the past, but Lu Su and Gan Ning have not yet experienced any battles, and their reputations are not yet obvious. Therefore, Yang Hong did not mention them and only left Liu Deng alone. brought up.

Yuan Shu pressed his forehead and said, "I drank this wine last night..."

Yang Hong asked: "..., what happened to Duke Ming?"

Yuan Shu said, "Nothing, nothing, just a little headache."

Eunuch Zhao, who was waiting by the side, had already wisely held a bowl of hangover soup.

Yuan Shu caught it and took two sips.

The two beautiful-looking and plump maidservants knelt down beside Yuan Shu's seat and rubbed Yuan Shu's forehead at the gesture of Eunuch Zhao.

Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation and leaned into their arms.

Yang Hong tried his best to solve the "two difficulties Yuan Shu thought about" for the two strategies Yuan Shu came up with, but he couldn't go on. Yang Hong couldn't figure out whether Yuan Shu really had a headache, or because Yuan Shu didn't want to move to Yangzhou at all, so he didn't want to talk to him about the matter. The talk on this matter stopped. Transferring to Yangzhou is a big event, and it is indeed difficult to do it overnight. When there is a chance, I will persuade it again, Yang Hong thought to himself.

Yang Hong asked to see Yuan Shu today, in addition to this matter, there was another matter.

Although Yuan Shu has already behaved like this, this matter is more urgent than "Xun Zhen wants to use Nanyang", so Yang Hong still had to talk to Yuan Shu, so he separated the "Zuantu Yangzhou" and transferred to Entering the second thing he wanted to report to Yuan Shu, he said to Yuan Shu, "Duke Ming, the subordinates have one more important matter, please report to Duke Ming."

Yuan Shu leaned against the arms of the two maids, half-closed his eyes, and said lazily, "What's the matter?"

"Ming Gong, the officials have heard the same news from several places in the past few days, that is, Lu Bu intends to go to the DPRK to participate in the Zhao congratulations meeting on Zhengdan next year!"

Yuan Shu abruptly opened his eyes, and left the maid's arms, looked at Yang Hong, and said, "What did you say?"

Yang Hong repeated the words to Yuan Shu and said, "The official heard that Lu Bu intends to enter the court and participate in the great court meeting on Zhengdan next year."

"Is this news true?"

"This news was heard by the subordinate from several places, and it was not false at the time."

Yuan Shu's color changed suddenly, and he slammed the case a few times, scolding: "Shuzi! Death thief prisoner!"

The force of patting the table was so great that Yu Ruyi on the table jumped.

Eunuch Zhao felt sorry for Yuan Shu's hand, so he hurriedly leaned over and exposed his soft stomach to Yuan Shu. His intention was very obvious.

Yang Hong said: "Ming Gong..."

Yuan Shu angrily said: "Neigong is wholehearted towards him, considerate and tolerant in every possible way! When he attacked Runan, Naigong asked for food for grain and soldiers for soldiers; after he went to Jiangxia, I was still the same, and he asked for everything. Give it, just last month, he also asked me for 100,000 stone of grain and 5,000 soldiers. Although I didn't have so much grain or so many soldiers to give him, I still put it together and gave it to him. I have gone to five thousand stones of grain and five hundred soldiers. I have such a deep affection for him. He has repeatedly violated our military orders and is unruly. Now, he wants to enter the DPRK? How can there be no reason, no reason! Too many people, what does he take Nai Gong for?" Furious, he raised his hand vigorously and slapped Eunuch Zhao's stomach heavily.

Eunuch Zhao was in pain, and groaned softly.

The two beautiful maids glanced at him and said in their hearts, "I can't wait for this to turn around!"

Yuan Shu really had a deep resentment towards Lu Bu.

Yang Hong hurriedly consoled Yuan Shu, saying: "Ming Gong, Lu Bu is indeed very outrageous, but now I am in a situation where Nanyang is trapped by enemies on both sides,

Need to rely on the courage of Lu Bu, Hong Gan begged Ming Gong to be able to hold back his anger for a while and focus on the overall situation. "

Yuan Shu angrily said: "He is about to enter the court to congratulate him, so why should I focus on the overall situation? Last month, when Lü Bu asked me for food and troops, Li Ye offered me a strategy and suggested that I should not give it to him. It is possible to make him suffer from lack of food and force him to bow his head to me. I was hesitant at first, but now it seems that this strategy, I have to use it! "

Yang Hong was greatly surprised. He really didn't expect Yuan Shu to have such a strategy in his heart. If Yuan Shu really refused to give Lu Bu any more food because of his progress today, it would be equivalent to turning his face against Lu Bu completely. Become the sinner of Nanyang. Lu Bu had already given birth to the idea of ​​entering the dynasty. If Yuan Shu turned against him again, he would know without even thinking that Lu Bu would definitely betray Yuan Shu! And if Lü Bu betrays, at this juncture, Yuan Shu's important flank against Xun Zhen and Liu Biao will be lost in the northern half of Jiangxia, which borders Runan in the north and blocks Huang Zu in the south. will also be greatly weakened.

So Yang Hong hurried to persuade and said, "Ming Gong, this strategy is not available!"

Yuan Shu said angrily, "Why?"

Yang Hong said: "Duke Ming, Lv Bu has already started to enter the dynasty. If Duke Ming refuses to give him food at this time, Lv Bu will be a traitor! Fang gets off the chariot and rides with Liu Jingsheng, one north and one south, eyeing Nanyang. , Nanyang is already in a critical autumn! And if Lu Bu rebels again, I am weak and the enemy is stronger, then the subordinates dare to ask Ming Gong, when the chariots and Liu Jingsheng come to attack, how to deal with it? If Ming Gong uses this Ce, didn’t he cut his arm by himself?”

"Self-broken arm? Then Lu Bu has already thought of entering the dynasty! If he enters the dynasty, how is it different from betraying me?"

Yang Hong said: "Duke Ming, Lv Bu has no plans, that's why he has this intention. Fortunately, his subordinate Gao Shun is not a mediocre person, or he knows that Lv Bu absolutely cannot enter the court. He has a grudge against Sun Ce. If Entering the dynasty, it is inevitable that his life will not be guaranteed, so he has been persuaded to stop him. Duke Ming, according to the ignorance of the officials, at this time, it is advisable to treat Lv Bu with tenderness."

"Huairou?"

Yang Hong said: "Ming Gong, the officials think that the best countermeasure for this is to send a person who can speak to Jiangxia, and explain the reason for not entering the court to Lu Bu, and let him put it out. After realizing this thought, at the same time, I declared Duke Ming's kindness to him, and made him appreciate Duke Ming; on the other hand, I made this official meet Zhang Liao secretly, and recruited Zhang Liao to be used by Duke Ming."

Yuan Shu's anger decreased a little, and he said, "I understand that Lu Bu is not allowed to enter the court, but I understand what you said, but why did you recruit Zhang Liao?"

"Duke Ming, the reason why Lu Bu was able to kill Sun Jian was because of Zhang Liao's strategy. Lv Bu intends to enter the dynasty, and even Nanyang now knows about it, and Zhang Liao must also know about it. Zhang Liao has already had a grudge against Sun Ce to kill his father. , and knowing that Lu Bu had the idea of ​​entering the dynasty, his mood at this time can be imagined, and he must be frightened. Duke Ming, if he secretly recruited him at this time, he will definitely get him to join Duke Ming. !"

Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously, and said, "Zhang Liao's vulgar husband in the north, and he's not yet thirty years old, he's just a kid, so what's the use of recruiting him under my command? Is it possible that he can replace Lv Bu for the sake of it? I fight against Xun Zhen?"

Yang Hong said: "Duke Ming, although Zhang Liao is a native of the borderlands and young, but when he was about to be defeated, he offered advice to Lv Bu, and in the end he had to kill Sun Jian. UU reading www.uukanshu.com It can be seen that he knows a lot. The military strategy, his people have a plan; when the officials heard it, the soldiers in his troops also fought bravely, even Lu Bu, and he respected him very much. If he can recruit him under the command of Duke Ming, it will be beneficial to Duke Ming in two ways.”

Yuan Shu asked, "Which two benefits?"

Yang Hong said: "It is one of the advantages to be able to use this weak Lv Bu to use him to check and balance Lv Bu, so that Lv Bu will not dare to disagree with Duke Ming any more. If you win over properly, you will be able to be a hawk dog of Ming Gong in the future, which is the second advantage."

"A bastard, is it as important as you say?"

Not only does Zhang Liao live in the borderlands of Bingzhou, but his family is also not a crown clan in Bingzhou. In addition, he is not young, and he is not from the Yuan family in Runan. It is reasonable to see it.

Yang Hong smiled apologetically and said, "Duke Ming, Hongzhi's strategy won't take much effort. If it can be done, it will be quite beneficial. In Hongzhi's humble opinion, why don't you give it a try?"

Yuan Shu thought for a while, and said, "Well, you said just now that it's best to send someone who can speak to Lv Bu and recruit Zhang Liao for the second position. I think the second position is Feiqing. Xiaoyu Lu Bu's matter, I will ask the minister to handle it, and by the way, I will recruit Zhang Liao for me, and let the minister handle it together. What is your opinion? Would you like to take this trip for me?

Yang Hong bowed down and said, "How dare the officials disobey the order of Duke Ming!"

After the business was finished, the after-effects of the hangover came one by one, the headache was unpleasant, and the stomach became more and more uncomfortable, and Yuan Shu couldn't sit again. Then, he went to Mi Fan.

Without further ado, the next day, Yang Hong left Nanyang and went to Jiangxia.
