Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses His Majesty has brought?"

Li Zheng looked at Cao Shuo with a worried face. He came to the city, but he didn't see too many soldiers and horses. He was afraid that Cao Shuo came alone.

"Five thousand tiger guards, five thousand Xuanjia troops!"

Li Zheng broke into a cold sweat. With only so many people, if Yuan Shu got the news and sent a large army to encircle and suppress, wouldn't it be very dangerous.

However, to Li Zheng's surprise, Cao Shuo asked him to spread the news.

"Li Zheng, spread the news that I'm here to attract Yuan Shu's troops."

Li Zheng looked puzzled: "Is this wrong?"

"It doesn't matter, just my [-] soldiers are not something Yuan Shu's army can resist."

Li Zheng looked at Xi Zhicai at the side, hoping he could persuade him.

As a result, Xi Zhicai remained silent, and Li Zheng had no choice but to order the soldiers to prepare.

Two days later, the news that Cao Shuo crossed the Huaihe River and was stationed in Yinling City was known to the whole Jiujiang County.

Yuan Shu hastily summoned a few of his confidants to discuss how to deal with it.

Yan Xiang suggested: "Your Majesty, let's bring back the general. Sun Ce's army has already entered the Yangtze River and drove Gan Ning back to the east of Dantu."

But Yang Hong objected: "No, the general is especially important in the south. Cao Shuo's general Jin and Li Dian have already divided their troops to take Dingyuan and Chu County, and confront the general in Quanjiao County."

"If the general is withdrawn, who can defend the south?"

Yuan Shu sighed, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Qiao Rui were the only ones under his command who were good at fighting. The others were useless.

Once Ji Ling returned to defense, the southern counties of Jiujiang County would be in danger.

Ji Ling must not move.

Yuan Shu got into a difficult situation, who should be transferred back?

At this moment, Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao stood up and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead [-] elite troops to resist Cao Shuo."

Yuan Shu looked at his son in amazement, could [-] elite soldiers be able to resist Cao Shuo?

"Don't my son know that Cao Shuo is a peerless general? How can an army of [-] be able to trap Cao Shuo?"

Yuan Yao said confidently: "Master Yan Xiang often teaches my ministers to be a wise man, not a reckless man. My minister has a plan to make Cao Shuo come and go."

"Ok?"

Yuan Shu was very curious, he didn't expect that he had studied with Yan Xiang for a few days, and he also learned how to use tricks.

Yang Hong on the side laughed in his heart, Yan Xiang didn't break, what can you think of?It can't be to lure the enemy into deep, to catch a turtle in a urn, but don't take the whole Jiujiang County into it.

Yuan Yao said: "Cao Shuo only has 3 or [-] horses in Yinling, and his army is at Jin and Li Dian, and Dingyuan County is more than [-] miles away from Chuzhou. If we surround Dingyuan County, Chu County The Yujin army will surely return to aid."

"When the time comes, inform the general and let him attack behind the forbidden army. The enemy army can be broken this way. Then we will surround the Yinling with the general, and we will surely capture Cao Shuo alive."

Yan Xiang agreed: "Your Majesty, the prince's suggestion is very good. Dingyuan County is sandwiched between Chuzhou and Yinling, which is the key to the exchange of news between Cao Shuo and Yu Jin. However, Dingyuan County has only [-] defenders. , but a young general."

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "Master Taiwei, you send people to Lujiang County, mobilize [-] elite soldiers, and at the same time recall Chen Lan, Liang Gang, and Lei Xu to obey Yaoer's command."

"No!"

Yang Hong hastily dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, no!"

Yuan Shu frowned, and asked displeasedly, "Why not?"

"Your Majesty, Lujiang County is also the top priority. If we recall the elite soldiers from Lujiang County, if Cao Shuo suddenly sends a large army to attack Lujiang County, what should we do?"

Yan Xiang explained: "Lord Yang is too worried. The army of Runan County is concentrated near Longkang. Now that Cao Shuo has crossed the Huaihe River, there is no need for them to lose troops and cross the river from Lujiang County."

"What's more, Cao Cao's attack on Lujiang County lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and after we beat them back to the north bank of the Huaihe River, we strengthened the defense along the Huaihe River."

"Cao Shuo wants to have a decisive battle with our army, and Chen Guo will be determined in one battle. How can he go to Lujiang County in such trouble?"

Seeing that what Yan Xiang said was reasonable and well-founded, Yuan Shu didn't take Yang Hong's suggestion to heart.

The main purpose now is to concentrate superior forces and drive Cao Shuo out of Jiujiang County before all of Cao Shuo's army has crossed the river.

As for capturing Cao Shuo alive, he thought to himself, is Cao Shuo really that easy to capture alive?
Yuan Shu ordered several people to go down to prepare, but Yang Hong was the only one left behind.

Yang Hong asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with leaving the old minister?"

Yuan Shu said: "Liu Xun is the only one left in Lujiang County, leading the army to defend, and he is very close to Liu Ye, Cao Shuo's counselor. I am very worried about leaving such a person in Lujiang County."

Yang Hong nodded knowingly, and said: "The old minister understands what the king means, and I will go to Lujiang to take Liu Xun's place."

"After you arrive at Lujiang, you must protect the banks of the Huaihe River. If the situation is critical, ask Huang Zu in Jiangxia for help."

Yang Hong bowed and left.

After Lujiang County dispatched [-] elites, only [-] elites remained, and the newly recruited [-] recruits were useless at all.

Yang Hong walked out of the palace, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Chen Guo is not safe!"

After Yuan Yao got the army, his calm face could not hide the joy in his heart. If he wanted to take over his father's position, he had to be subdued by several generals of Chen Guo.

Otherwise, if he ascended the throne, these generals would have problems with him because of his lack of meritorious service, and he would have nothing to do with them.

Yuan Yao looked at the three generals and many soldiers behind him, and said loudly: "From now on, you will be my brothers, Yuan Yao's life and death, and my confidants. As long as I am here for a day, you will be the future of my Chen country."

"His Royal Highness is mighty!"

"His Royal Highness is mighty!"

The soldiers behind Yuan Yao shouted feebly.

"Lei Xu, I'll give you five thousand soldiers and horses to go ahead and rush to Dingyuan County to surround the city."

"promise!"

When Lei Xu came to Dingyuan County, he saw that there was already a group of about 1000 soldiers outside the city, led by a general, waiting for him, and he couldn't help being excited.

If this general is killed, then Dingyuan County will be destroyed by itself.

"You can report your name in the future!"

"Xiliang Zhangxiu!"

Zhang Xiu didn't report his official position, he just wanted to make the other party feel that he was easy to bully, and then rushed over desperately.

Since Cao Shuo built the Xianbei Protectorate, there has been no war in Youzhou, so Cao Shuo brought him back to his side.

"Zhang Xiu?"

Lei Xu searched quickly in his mind, and it seemed that Zhang Xiu was not among Cao Shuo's generals.

"Are you Zhang Liao's brother?"

Zhang Xiu's face darkened, and he said angrily: "I still need you to recognize me? Cao Shuo is my uncle, and he has a fart relationship with Zhang Liao."
