Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 167 Unexpected reinforcements
Han Fu did not dare to make any move for the time being, and Ye Mo did not provoke him to avoid irritating Han Fu. After all, Han Fu had assembled an army of [-] people, and the number alone was scary enough.

Yuan Shao in Xiliang, with Qu Yi's Xiandeng camp and an army of [-], needn't worry too much.Hangu Pass is a dangerous pass, no matter how powerful Yuan Shao is, he should not be able to break through Hangu Pass, but there is no guarantee that Yuan Shao will not make a detour.But thinking about it, it shouldn’t be possible. If it is a detour, it will have to cross the Yellow River and come from the territory of the Huns. Not only that, but the consumption of food and grass will also be greatly increased, and there is no way to stabilize the transportation.

In this way, the person Ye Mo has to deal with first is simple: Yangzhou Yuan Shu.

Even though Yuan Shu also assembled an army of [-], in Ye Mo's view, it was just a mob of [-].In fact, in Ye Mo's previous life, Yuan Shu was always underestimated.After Yuan Shu became emperor, facing the siege of all the princes, Yuan Shu lasted for two years before being defeated.If Liu Bei were to try this, he might be turned into scum every minute.

Yuan Shu's chief counselor is actually a man named Yuan Huan. Yuan Huan is also very intelligent, but because he is not good at flattering, Yuan Shu doesn't like him.

Moreover, under Yuan Shu's tent, all the cavalry were under the command of Lei Bo and Chen Lan, including [-] heavy cavalry.It's just that Lei Bo and Chen Lan are not as loyal to Yuan Shao as Ji Ling. As long as Yuan Shu shows signs of decline, the two will definitely abandon Yuan Shu.Of course, there is no telling if something goes wrong in this life.

"Lord, you've been looking at the map for so long, why don't you take a break?" Dian Wei has been following Ye Mo since he and Ye Mo said goodbye to Huang Cong, fearing that something would go wrong with Ye Mo.At this time, Dian Wei saw that Ye Mo had been shutting himself in the study since he came back and studying the map in the study for several hours, so he spoke.

Hearing what Dian Wei said, Ye Mo looked up, only to find that the sky outside had already darkened. "Hong Fei, if you are asked to defend Yangdi City, will you be able to defend it?" Ye Mo looked at Dian Wei with a worried expression on his face, and asked.

Although Dian Wei was a little dull, it meant that Dian Wei only knew how to rely on martial courage when fighting, and he didn't know how to use tactics.When Dian Wei and Ye Mo bid farewell to Huang Cong, they also heard Ye Mo say that Yang Di must be defended to the death. "My lord asked me to guard it, so I will guard it. I can't lose the city even if I die."

Hearing what Dian Wei said, Ye Mo smiled immediately, and said, "Hong Fei, you have learned to speak well. It's just that Yangdi has a lot to do with it, so you can't be sloppy. Yuan Shu has 1000 troops, but Huang Cong only leads 1. , Yang Di is dangerous. If you can give me [-] people, I will definitely kill every single one of Yuan Shujun!"

"My lord, since they form an alliance, why can't we form an alliance with other princes?" Seeing Ye Mo's helpless expression, Dian Wei couldn't help but said.

When Ye Mo heard what Dian Wei said, his eyes lit up at first, but soon dimmed again.Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Han Fu could form an alliance, but Ye Mo had no choice but to find an alliance.Ye Mo now represents the imperial court, the princes of the world, who is qualified to form an alliance with the imperial court?If you force yourself to ask for it, it will only reduce the prestige of the Han court in the hearts of the people.

Between the princes of the world, is it as simple as the intersection of knife handles?The exchange of envoys, the appointment of vertical and horizontal, are all fierce confrontations.

"Hong Fei, what you think is a little simpler. However, it is really difficult for you to think of this. Forget it, let's go eat first, and let's talk about everything after the news of Hanguguan's military comes back." Ye Looking at Dian Wei, Mo was not angry that Dian Wei's previous proposal was useless, but felt relieved that Dian Wei could use his brain to think of a plan at this time.

What Ye Mo didn't know was that at this time, the State Shepherd's Mansion in Xuzhou was brightly lit.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is a traitor who turned against a minister. Now Yuan Shu has entered Yuzhou, which shows his ambition. If Yuan Shu is allowed to get Yuzhou, the next step will be Si Li or our Xuzhou." Mi Zhu sat in the lower seat of the conference hall , said to Tao Qian earnestly, as if every sentence he said was really just for Tao Qian's good.

Yuan Shu's territory and Tao Qian's Xuzhou City had a handover, but Guangling City at the junction, where Tao Qian stationed heavy troops.Coupled with the fact that Xuzhou's strength is not inferior to Yangzhou's, even though Yuan Shu has ambitions, he dare not move lightly.As for Yuzhou, if Wei Zhongdao hadn't made a big cake for him this time, he wouldn't have sent troops.

Yuzhou has no heavy soldiers, and no vassals, but Yuzhou has the most famous college of Han Dynasty: Yingchuan College is located in Yuzhou.In Yuzhou, there are too many great Confucianists from aristocratic families. After Yuzhou is conquered, they can't move lightly, and they have to take good care of the people of Yuzhou.If one is not good, and those scholars spread the word that Yuan Shu's army is not good, then Yuan Shu will be finished, and there will be few scholars in the world who will go to defect.

Even so, after Yuan Shu conquered Yuzhou, there would be one more state's taxes, and his strength would definitely increase greatly in a short time.In this way, it is possible for Yuan Shu to invade Xuzhou. After all, Xuzhou is very rich now.

At this time, Tao Qian actually wished Yuan Shu would come and beat him, because in Guangling City, although there were heavy troops, Ruo Rong had objections.Ruo Rong took advantage of his position to embezzle food and grass in the three counties of Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng, but Tao Qian still couldn't use troops against Ruo Rong.Secondly, Tao Qian is really not sure that he can defeat Ruo Rong.

"General Cao Bao, what do you think?" Tao Qian himself was concerned, but he didn't say it out, he just asked the attention of other subordinates.

Cao Bao's Cao family is a big family in Xuzhou, so they always consider their own interests first.In Xuzhou, whether Tao Qian is Xuzhou Mu or Yuan Shu, as long as it is beneficial to his Cao family, he will welcome anyone.There is no way, this is the principle of thinking about things for all the big Han families: the family's interests are the most important thing in everything.

Now, Tao Qian is Xuzhou's herdsman, and Cao Bao is still in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.However, after Yuan Shu came, it might not be so.Under Yuan Shu's tent, there are too many generals, big and small, and there are too many more capable than Cao Bao.Moreover, Yuan Shu will definitely pay attention to the Mi family at that time, because the Mi family can bring them wealth and send them to make up for the military salary.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that Yuan Shu sent troops to Yuzhou this time to cause rebellion. As an official of the Han Dynasty, my lord should share the country's worries." Although Cao Bao did not directly say that he would send troops, it was not obvious what he meant. That means we must send troops.

Tao Qian was a little surprised at this time. Cao Bao and Mi Zhu actually had the same opinion.Chen Deng had a different opinion. The Chen family where Chen Deng belonged was the largest aristocratic family in Xuzhou. Ye Mo had previously destroyed the Wei family, which left Chen Deng with lingering fears.However, now that the Cao family and the Mi family have unified their opinions, it is not easy for Chen Deng to object.Furthermore, the demise of the Wei family is, after all, seeking death. What if Chen Deng raises objections at this time and is caught by Ye Mo?
Tao Qian saw that no one in the crowd had any objection, and said, "In this case, let's send troops to fight against Yuan Shu's rebels. In this case, Yuan Long will write a 'request for rebellion', and General Cao will go to order Qi's soldiers." Ma and Mi are engaged in preparing food and grass." Tao Qian's words involved all the people from the three big families, which was clever.
