Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 373 Wei Yan's Choice, Qi Hou's Conspiracy
Therefore, if Wei Yan could really bring [-] troops to Xinye, it would be equivalent to immediately adding at least [-] troops to Liu Bei's army.

As for the fighting power of [-] recruits brought out by [-] veterans?
Do you still have to ask?

Under the command of the "benevolent" Uncle Liu Huang, everything else can be lacking, but battles are absolutely indispensable. If there are too many fights, recruits will naturally become veterans.

It's just how many recruits will die on the battlefield in the process.

That's not what Uncle Liu Huang wants to consider. After all, Uncle Liu Huang now wants to help the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly.

These trivial matters are not within the scope of his consideration.

However, Wei Yan has no soldiers in his hands now, and he has taken refuge under Liu Bei's command. He is afraid that Liu Bei will hand him over to Liu Biao immediately.

Just as a good gift to Liu.

After all, Xinye is still Liu Biao's area in name, and Liu Bei is just living in Xinye.

Compared with Wei Yan, who has no soldiers and no generals, his reputation is actually not too high.

Liu Bei was naturally more willing to take Wei Yan out, and it would be better to exchange it with Liu Biao's funding.

So after a short period of thinking, Wei Yan decisively excluded Liu Bei from his target of surrender.

The only ones left are Jiangdong Sun Ce and Xuchang Cao Cao.

Without struggling for too long, Wei Yan vetoed the way of seeking refuge with Sun Ce.

If the battle in Jingnan is over, Wei Yandao still has a chance to join Sun Ce.

But now the war in Jingnan is over.

Even if Wei Yan now wants to go to Jiangdong to seek refuge with Marquis Wu.

That only requires him to have this ability.

At present, the population of Xiakou area has been taken captive, Huang Zu rarely saved his life, and now he has returned to Jiangxia to sit in town.

Just taking a deep breath, Mo Bing Lima, waiting to give Jiangdong a wave of ruthlessness, and repay this humiliation.

The defenses at all levels were quite dead, and Wei Yan was also a figure who showed his face in the Jingnan battle.

If he had crossed the pass and the city, he would have been intercepted by Huang Zu's subordinates before Wei Yan ran to the Yangtze River.

But... take refuge in Cao Cao?
The conscience of heaven and earth, although Wei Yan thinks that he is not very loyal to the Han Dynasty, the so-called prime minister's name does not have much appeal to Wei Yan.

But for Cao Cao, who used to coerce the emperor to make the princes, Wei Yan was still somewhat reluctant.

As for the other Yuan Shao, who was holding the emperor to make the princes, Wei Yan was more interested.

It is not to say how much Yuan Shao cared about the little emperor when he coerced the emperor to make the princes.

Mainly in Wei Yan's view, the same is the Emperor Xie, and the power of the Yuan family in Hebei is now compared with the strength of Cao Wei in Xuchang.

Obviously, Hebei is even better.

To take refuge in this kind of thing, of course you have to choose the one with big fists.

As a result, Wei Yan headed towards Hebei in a hurry.

As a result, I never expected that I was caught by Yanzhou's garrison just after entering the border of Yanzhou.

How did Wei Yan know that although the Jingnan War had nothing to do with Xuzhou, Xuzhou sold [-] sets of Xuzhou armor to Jingzhou.

Even Yuan Tan doesn't care about Xuzhou Kai.

But for his subordinates Xun Yu, Chen Deng, Xu Shu and others, this was a plan of two tigers competing for food that his lord had invisibly laid out.

With a Xuzhou armor, the war between the two families was provoked, and Jiangdong and Jingzhou were eaten.

This kind of strategy, Yuan Tan's profound and far-sighted strategy revealed invisibly, made all the important ministers in Xuzhou admire the wisdom of their own princes.

I am also quite concerned about the effect and impact of this strategy after its implementation.

The big and small incidents that happened in the Jingnan War were all obtained by Xuzhou's intelligence network through various means.

Like Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Dong Xi, Ling Cao, Ling Tong, and Quan Cong in the Jiangdong Army, the portraits of the generals in the two southern vassal armies who were not very famous before.

They were all registered with the Xuzhou Ministry of War.

All the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains under the banner of Hebei also got a share, so, invisibly, he was regarded as Wei Yan who was tricked by Yuan Tan.

He thought that his reputation was not that great in the Central Plains, so he strode into Yanzhou City, planning to find an inn to have a good meal before taking a rest.

Then set off for Yecheng to join Yuan Shao.

As a result, the owner of the inn notified Yanzhou's city defense army just after he checked in.

When the city defense army heard it, good guy, Wei Yan, the Jingnan general who rose up in the Jingnan war, actually came to Yanzhou?
Could it be that after winning the Battle of Jingnan, Old Liu Biao became bolder again, and even wanted to touch the territory of my Yuan family in Hebei?
Wei Yan was immediately arrested.

——There is one more thing to say here.

After the battle of Jingnan, there is another very funny fact.

Whether it is the Jingzhou side or the Jiangdong side, they all have a unified caliber in their external declarations.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou said that although we failed in the early stage, we turned defeat into victory in the later stage and successfully drove the invaders out of Jingzhou.

Therefore, our Jingzhou Army is the winner of the Jingnan Battle.

Wu Hou and Sun Ce said that we have achieved a major strategic goal, not only pulling out the nails that Jingzhou planted in our Jiangzuo.

It also obtained a large amount of population and resources from the Xiakou area.

It laid a solid foundation for the next attack on Jingzhou.

Therefore, our Jiangdong Army is the winner of the Jingnan Battle.

Of course, regarding who will win and lose in this war, Yuan Tan, who is sitting in the Qihou Mansion in Xuzhou, just wants to say: You are right, both of you have won, and it is a win-win situation. It was so cheap that Yuan Houye almost cried.

……

"Wei Yan?"

Not much to say, let's go back to Xuzhou.

In Qihou's mansion, Yuan Tan looked at the young man with a strange face down the stairs, who seemed to be only two or three years older than Deng Ai.

Quite puzzled and asked: "If I remember correctly, you should have been promoted in the Jingzhou Army, right? Why did you suddenly escape from the Jingzhou Army?"

Wei Yan felt extremely distressed by Yuan Tan's question. He kept talking, thinking that you, the old man, really know how to talk.

But now people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Even though he felt ashamed, Wei Yan still honestly explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

The Xuzhou generals present were all shaking their heads, and they looked down upon Jingzhou Liu Biao even more.

The military situation of the Jingnan War was gathered by the Ministry of War. Wei Yan's performance on the Jingnan battlefield was well understood by all Xuzhou generals present.

This young general in front of him can be said to be a genius-type general. If he is trained properly, he may even be expected to become a commander-in-chief.

It is such a general who would flee in fright because of Liu Biao's jealousy.

It can be seen from this that Liu Biao, the so-called hero of Jingzhou, is really unpopular inside.
