Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 153 Yuan Shu's Difficulty
Shouchun City, Chen Kingdom Palace.

Han Yin asked to see Yuan Shu all night long. After waiting in the side hall of the harem for nearly half an hour, Yuan Shu arrived late.

"Why is the prime minister panicking? Why are you in a hurry to see me at this hour?"

Han Yin was indeed flustered, because battle reports came from the north and the south.

"My lord! Thieves Cao sent Xiahou Dun to lead an army of [-] troops to attack the city of Runan."

Yuan Shu's face froze for a moment, and he asked, "Where is General Lejiu? He also has 5 troops, why don't he go out of the city to fight, have you forgotten the lesson of passive defense in Xuzhou?"

Although Han Yin is greedy and snobbish, he still has some insights into military strategy.

"My lord, the battle in Runan is different from the leaf thief in Xuzhou. Xiahoudun's 5 people can't turn around. They can either attack us through Runan, or they can only attack from the north by turning around Peicheng, which is very close to the leaf thief Pengcheng. Cao Cao Thieves dare not march like this."

After Yuan Shu heard it, he found it quite reasonable, and praised: "The prime minister is talented, since we are defending Runan, and Xiahou Dun has equal strength, he can only return with hatred. Why is the prime minister so anxious?"

"I received an urgent report that Sun Quan from Jiangdong sent [-] elite troops to cross the river via Wuhu. Liyang County was caught off guard and was captured by Han Dang."

"What?!" Yuan Shu couldn't sit still this time. Liyang has always been a dangerous place along the Yangtze River in Huainan, but it was unexpectedly captured by Sun Quan.

"Huangkou boy! You are so bullying that you dare to fight without declaring it! Prime Minister, Liyang is a matter of our safety in the south, so we must immediately send troops to stop Han Dang."

Han Yin nodded hurriedly. He naturally knew how passive they were after the loss of Liyang County, because as long as Liyang County was in Sun Quan's hands, the Jiangdong Army could attack Jiujiang or Shouchun.

"My lord, I'm here to talk to you about this matter. Because the military situation is urgent, I have taken the initiative to mobilize 1 troops from the Jiujiang Trilogy, and General Li Feng will go to meet the enemy. Please punish me, my lord."

Yuan Shu's face slowly darkened. He was in charge of Chen's domestic military and political affairs. As prime minister, Han Yin had always done things to his liking, but this time he went a bit too far.

"Don't take it as an example." Yuan Shu weighed it in his heart, and made up his mind to hit the opponent. "Han Yin, you have been with me for many years."

Han Yin was a little nervous by Yuan Shu's change of tone, and bowed his hands and said: "This subordinate has followed the Lord for fifteen years."

Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed. Fifteen years ago, he was still young and strong at his peak, and he became old in the blink of an eye.

"It's been 15 years, I remember your son is an adult and serving in the military?"

Han Yin secretly felt sorry for him. His son was just 20 years old. He was made a lieutenant general by Yuan Shu not long ago. Now he is in charge of a troop of 5000 soldiers in Shouchun.

"My lord, my son Han Huai is currently on duty at the Shouchun Barracks."

"Yeah, I remembered. General Han's demeanor was comparable to that of a tiger in the east of the Yangtze River. He is worthy of being the pillar of our army." Yuan Shu praised, "How is the city defense on Jiujiang? I don't know if Ye Xiao in Lingbi City has any moves?"

"My lord, this time the crown prince is stationed in Jiujiang to deter the leaf thief, and he has not received any changes recently."

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "As expected of my Qilin son, but Prime Minister, I haven't seen my son for a long time, I want to transfer your son to Jiujiang to change defense, go back and make arrangements."

After talking for a long time, Yuan Shu finally revealed his purpose.

Han Yin was shocked. Jiujiang was the front line bordering Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao's army was as fierce as a tiger. It would be very dangerous for his son to go there.

While Han Yin was full of bitter thoughts, Yuan Shu pretended to be angry and asked, "Han Yin, what's the matter? You can't bear to let your son go to the front line? Could it be that your son is more valuable than the crown prince?"

Han Yin quickly knelt down and explained that he knew that this was Yuan Shu's punishment for his private deployment of troops. Although he was a little annoyed, he got all of this from Yuan Shu and had no choice at all.

"My lord, I understand. Let my son set off immediately to change defense when we go back."

Seeing Han Yincheng's frightened expression, Yuan Shu took the time to sit back on the soft couch.

"Well, I don't worry about your work. By the way, we have widely distributed the recruitment list. Have all the heroes from all walks of life reached their birthdays now?"

Han Yin sorted out the recent information, cupped his hands and said: "After the master released the recruitment list, heroes from all walks of life have arrived one after another. Now nearly 6 people have arrived in Shouchun, and 3 of them are dispatched by the general in Guile, Runan. "

"Very well, I will say that the fate of the Han family is broken, and only I, the Yuan family, can accept the fate. Prime Minister, you continue to publish the recruitment list, and you must include all the talents from all over the world. When I defeat Cao Cao and Sun Quan, I will set foot on the road of Xuzhou again. hour."

Han Yin smiled wryly in his heart, bit the bullet and informed Yuan Shu of the current situation.

"Lord, our army has consumed countless amounts of money and food in successive wars. Now the army has nearly 10 people, and the daily consumption is a huge number. In addition, these heroes have been coming over recently, asking for food and armor. Our treasury cannot support it. gone."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was troubled again, and couldn't help but angrily said: "I clearly remember that you gave me the statistics last month, and the treasury's money and food can support the entire army for half a year!"

"Why can't you just say it all of a sudden? I don't care so much, you have to prepare the money and food for me, collect taxes, or go to Ye Xiao's land to grab it. If you can't do this, you will be the prime minister." Don't do it!"

Han Yin couldn't tell because he was suffering, so he could only bite the bullet and accept Yuan Shu's order.

He feels a little bit hard to ride a tiger now. When Chen Lan and Yan Xiang were plotting together, although he had little power, he was very relaxed. Now the situation has become like walking on thin ice.

All the way back to the mansion, Han Yin was full of worries, summoned his son Han Huai to give him careful instructions several times, and then let him take two hundred cavalry guards. This is Han Yin's family property, and went out from Shouchun to Jiujiang to change defense.

Outside Runan City, Xiahou Dun sat in the position of the chief general, and Xun Yu sat in the first position on the left.

This time, Xun Yu, as the mastermind, had just finished analyzing the first probing attack.

"Yuan Rang, we can't be too hasty in attacking Runan this time. My lord also said that we can deal with Yuan Shu. According to information, Jiangdong Sun Quan has already taken action. We can wait to see the situation."

Xiahou Dun respected Xun Yu very much, because he was Cao Cao's most respected counselor besides Guo Jia.

"Sir, Yuan Shu is just a local chicken and a tile dog. I am not worried about the [-] thieves in Runan. I am worried that if Ye Xiao takes action or Sun Quan robs Shouchun, our efforts will be in vain."

In the final analysis, Xiahou Dun still values ​​this gain and loss and honor.

"Runan seems to be impenetrable, but the 5 people except for the [-] new recruits in Le are all bandits, which are not worth mentioning. If the general waits patiently, he will definitely see them scatter. It's urgent It's Yuan Shu, not us."

Xiahou Dun thought for a while, and finally accepted Xun Yu's suggestion.

"The order will go on, and the troops of each department will harass each other every day according to the training, waiting for a good opportunity."
