- That's all if they don't regain Xuzhou, but they also have to abandon most of the counties in Qingyan and Yanzhou and move all the people from the two states to Hebei. Wouldn't such a move show to the world that Yan Liang is afraid of Yan Liang? To the extreme, they even resorted to a defensive strategy of relocating people and abandoning their land.
Guan Yu felt angry and wanted to have an attack on the spot.
At this time, Liu Bei sighed: "Yun Chang, I know you are angry, but after these two battles in Xuzhou, I lost eighty or ninety thousand soldiers, and almost half of Dayan's army was filled in. After leaving Xuzhou, do you think that under the current circumstances, do I have any other choice?"
Liu Bei accepted the reality and bluntly stated his current predicament.
Furthermore, Liu Bei¡¯s words seemed to harbor resentment towards Guan Yu, implying that it was Guan Yu¡¯s incompetence that caused Xuzhou to become the sad place where the Yan Kingdom suffered repeated defeats and its national power declined.
Guan Yu's figure was shaken, his anger suddenly extinguished, and his mind suddenly woke up.
Calm down and think about it carefully, it is exactly what Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang said. At this time, his Yan Kingdom, let alone regaining Xuzhou, if Yan Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops march north, it will be a problem to even defend Qingyan.
"The revenge that Guan Yu has in mind is just wishful thinking for now.
The resentment in Liu Bei's words made Guan Yu feel a little ashamed. At this moment, how could he have the nerve to oppose Zhuge Liang who was cleaning up the mess for him.
With all kinds of helplessness, Guan Yu sighed secretly, his face was disgraced and hurt, and he kept silent.
Guan Yu no longer objected, he was the second most powerful figure in the Yan Kingdom. Reluctantly chose silence.
Seeing this, Liu Bei waved his hands and sighed: "Since there is no objection, then we will follow the military advisor's plan. Let's get started."
The entire tent was filled with helplessness and melancholy.
¡¡
Kaiyang City.
On a sunny morning, Yan Liang began to lead his army back south.
The entire Xuzhou has been included in the territory of the Chu Kingdom, and all key towns have been garrisoned. Liu Bei in Linqu only has less than 40,000 troops, which is not enough to counterattack, and Liaodong has already been captured. Yan Liang's strategic goal is achieved, and there is no need to waste money and food anymore.
Therefore, Yan Liang appointed Gan Ning as the governor of Xuzhou. He was ordered to lead an army of 40,000, and Jiang Qin and other generals continued to be stationed in Xuzhou, while Yan Liang led the main force of the Chinese army back south.
Yan Liang is on his way back to Yingtian. Several orders have been issued in succession. To target the newly captured four counties in Liaodong.
The first order Yan Liang gave to Lu Meng was to transport 10,000 war horses from Liaodong to Dachu within half a year.
The main purpose that prompted Yan Liang to take the risk of conquering Liaodong was to seize the horse-producing land and build up a cavalry capable of competing with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Now that Liaodong has been conquered, Yan Liang naturally has to put this matter on his agenda.
This second order was given by Yan Liang to Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other northern states. They were ordered to select elite men and then go to Liaodong. To enhance the strength of the Chu army in Liaodong.
While increasing his troops, Yan Liang sent Xu You, Man Chong and many other civil servants, ordering them to go to Liaodong by sea and take over the government affairs of Liaodong from Lu Meng.
After all, Lu Meng was good at using troops, and his weak point was managing politics. Yan Liang wanted to build Liaodong into an "anti-Liu base area behind enemy lines." It was obviously not enough to rely on continuous supplies and reinforcements from the mainland of Dachu. It was best to make Liaodong four counties capable of Self-sufficient.
In order to achieve this goal, it is naturally necessary to employ a group of good officials such as Xu You and Man Chong.
Since Liaodong is isolated overseas, it is inappropriate for military generals to hold too much power. Using civil servants to govern and manage food and military generals to use troops can better ensure the loyalty of this overseas land.
???????????????Ten days later, Yan Liang returned to Yingtian after the orders of the kings of the Taoism were issued.
It is already the depth of winter, and even in Yingtian City, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the wet and cold weather makes people uncomfortable.
It was evening in the palace.
In the study room, the fire is bright, and Yan Liang is reviewing the latest memorial.
Footsteps sounded, Zhou Cang came in from the outside, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, a group of sea ships have just arrived in Yingtian from Liaodong. On board there are probably more than a thousand good horses from Liaodong presented by General Lu."
"This Lu Ziming is very efficient." Yan Liang cheered up, "Send these thousand horses to Xudu quickly, and order Ziqin and Yuan Zhi to recruit additional cavalry on the spot."
Yan Liang¡¯s large-scale cavalry was to fight in the northern plains, so the newly acquired horses had to be sent to the north to form and train new cavalry.
"I understand." Zhou Cang paused, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the war horses, LuThe army also gave the king two gifts. Would you like to see them? "
Two gifts?
¡°This Lu Meng, could it be that he also learned how to offer special gifts to please this king?¡±
Yan Liangliang was curious, so he put down his pen and ink and ordered him to bring the two gifts presented by Lu Meng for him to take a look.
Zhou Cang ordered to go down, and not long after, several soldiers escorted the two disgraced men into the study.
Yan Liang raised his head and glanced at the two men. They seemed to look familiar, especially the bearded guy on the right, who seemed to have seen him there before.
Yan Liang searched for the memories in his mind. After thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but feel happy.
The man on the right is not Yuan Tan, who else could he be.
As for the person on the left and right, it is naturally Yuan Tan¡¯s younger brother Yuan Xi.
When Yuan Tan lost Youzhou, the two brothers defected to Gongsun Kang, but were put under house arrest by Gongsun Kang.
When Lu Meng went on an expedition in the previous period, Yan Liang told him that if he could capture the Yuan brothers, he would send them to Yingtianlai and hand them over to him to deal with them.
Yan Liang had forgotten this matter for a long time, but Lu Meng kept it in mind. After capturing Xiangping, he obtained the Yuan brothers from Gongsun Kang and hurriedly sent them to Yingtian by sea and horses.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yuan. We haven't seen you for a long time. Do you still recognize who I am?" Yan Liang asked with a sarcastic tone and a sneer.
Yuan Tan had a grimace on his face, fear flashing in his eyes.
How could he not remember Yan Liang, the traitor general of the Yuan family who defeated him and beat him to the point of kneeling with his own hands, the enemy who was blacklisted by him? The eldest son of the Yuan family will never forget it. .
The time is now, the Yuan family, which has infinite glory and dominates the world, has been wiped out, but the rebel general of the Yuan family in front of him has become the most powerful prince in the world, even more prosperous than Yuan Shao back then.
What makes Yuan Tan painful is that not only can he not kill Yan Liang and take revenge, but now he has to surrender and kneel in front of Yan Liang for the second time.
At this time, Yuan Tan felt sad and fearful, but there was no trace of resentment at all.
In other words, he didn¡¯t dare to hate at all.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Yuan Tan's legs went weak, and without any intimidation, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "General Yuan Tan, pay homage to His Highness the King of Chu."
"Compared to the last time, Yuan Tan is much more knowledgeable and does not dare to show any signs of Mr. Yuan, lest he suffer unnecessary physical pain.
When Yuan Tan knelt down like this, Yuan Xi, who had no independent opinion, didn't even think about it anymore. He quickly knelt down and bowed his head to pay homage.
He was once a son of a famous family, he was once a prominent son of the Yuan family, he was once an authentic, rich and handsome man who was the envy of everyone in the world. Now, they are both kneeling in front of Yan Liang, kneeling in front of the former family general, praying humbly. To survive.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is nothing better than this moment.
Yan Liang laughed wildly, with stern eyes, wantonly mocking the two Yuan brothers who were kneeling at the foot of the stairs.
Yuan Tan lost all his dignity and was dejected. Yuan Xi was trembling and sweating. The two brothers could only hope to end this humiliating moment as soon as possible.
Hearing that Yan Liang was almost laughing, Yuan Tan cupped his hands and said, "I would like to submit to your Majesty, serve as your vanguard, go straight to Ye City, kill Liu Bei's big-eared thief, and relieve your hatred for Your Majesty."
Yuan Tan was clever. He knew that Liu Bei was Yan Liang's biggest enemy, so he wanted to divert Yan Liang's hatred towards him by dealing with Liu Bei.
Yan Liang sneered and said disdainfully: "I have so many good generals under my command. If I want to kill Liu Bei, why do I need a loser like you? If you could really deal with Liu Bei, why would you end up in this situation today?"
Yan Liang was merciless and ridiculed Yuan Tan's incompetence with utmost disdain.
Yuan Tan was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to respond.
Yan Liang had no intention of looking at his mean look anymore, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, drag Yuan Tan out, cut his body into pieces, and throw it to the dogs."
Yuan Tan was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.
Yuan Tan originally thought that if Yan Liang wanted to kill him, he would have ordered Lu Meng to kill him with a single blow in Liaodong, so why send him all the way to heaven.
Therefore, Yuan Tan thought that Yan Liang might have the intention of surrendering to him and using him to win people's hearts.
"It's a pity that Yuan Tan doesn't know Yan Liang at all. He certainly wouldn't have thought that Yan Liang summoned him to Yingtian just to enjoy the pleasure of the moment when he crouched at his feet and begged for mercy in a humble way.
??As violent as Yan Liang, who conquers the world with his strength, why does he need false benevolence and righteousness to use Yuan Tan, a useless person, to win over the so-called people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me," the frightened Yuan Tan cried and begged for mercy.
The soldiers on the left and right did not hesitate and dragged him out.
Yuan Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, watched helplessly as his brother was dragged away, and was so frightened that he did not even dare to speak out.
Yan Liang's gaze then turned to Yuan Xi, with cold murderous intent flowing in his eyes.
Yuan Xi was so frightened that he was afraid that Yan Liang would kill him too. He knelt down on the ground and cried: "The guilty minister has been in Hebei for these years and has never thought of being an enemy of the king. Please spare my life." I am willing to work as an ox or a horse to repay the great kindness of your Majesty.¡±
Hearing this humble begging for mercy, Yan Liang was filled with disdain, but at this time, his murderous intention had quietly spread throughout the province.
He just sneered and said: "Don't worry, not only will I not kill you, I will also take you to meet someone."
Meeting someone?
Yuan Xi, who was crying, raised his head and looked at Yan Liang's sarcastic face with trembling eyes. His heart was originally frightened, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
