"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Yang Hong cupped his hands and bent down to stand in front of Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu still didn't look like a king. He lay on his side on the bed with disheveled clothes and said in a cold voice: "My dear, why are you disturbing my rest?"
"There are mobs in the city again. I wonder how your majesty will deal with it?"
Yang Hong is under great pressure now. In Shouchun City, because the people have no money, the public security is extremely poor. Every once in a while, mobs burn, kill and loot, which has extremely bad effects.
If some wealthy families and aristocratic families were robbed by these mobs, they would all come to Yang Hong to complain. Yang Hong could not withstand the anger of so many people.
So, I had to ask Yuan Shu for instructions on how to deal with such a mob!
"Idiot, do you still need to ask me about these unruly people?"
"Whoever dares to disobey will be killed!!!"
Yuan Shu's heart suddenly surged with anger. Seeing Yang Hong's cowardice, he directly found a gadget on the bedside and threw it at Yang Hong's head.
Bang!
The gadget hit Yang Hong's head with a crisp sound, making Yang Hong a little dizzy, but seeing Yuan Shu so angry.
Yang Hong didn't dare to say anything, he just said: "I obey the order."
"Get out of here, don't get in my way."
Yuan Shu waved, feeling very tired of this kind of life. He missed the past, when he was carefree and enjoyed himself to the fullest.
But now, hiding in Shouchun City, fearful, and having to guard against mob troubles every day, I'm really fed up with this kind of life.
Yuan Shu, who was in a bad mood, was annoyed by everyone, especially a minister like Yang Hong who disturbed him and had no independent opinions. He was even more disgusting!
Before Yang Hong could retreat, another voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, General Zhang Xun wants to see you!"
"Come again, you losers are all here to annoy me!!!"
Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction was about to overflow, and his crazy appearance frightened the maids.
After all, it's hard not to doubt Yuan Shu's mental state in such a state!
If Yuan Shu kills him at the slightest disagreement, wouldn't it be a disaster for the maids?
Yang Hong did not dare to look directly at Yuan Shu at this time. He found that Yuan Shu was getting more and more irritable now, and any dissatisfaction could ignite the anger in Yuan Shu's heart.
Yang Hong even received a beating for reporting what happened to the mob, which made Yang Hong extra careful not to offend Yuan Shu.
He was deeply afraid that Yuan Shu would go crazy and even kill him.
Yuan Shu, who had been crazy for a while, calmed down again and said in a deep voice: "Let Zhang Xun come in and see me!"
As soon as Zhang Xun stepped into the door, he felt a strange atmosphere. From the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Hong, who was covering his head and trembling. He instantly understood that the situation in front of him was not optimistic. It was very likely that Yuan Shu was losing his temper again.
During this period, Yuan Shu lost his temper for no reason and did not hold court meetings. Those ministers did not dare to report to Yuan Shu alone if something happened.
Over time, Shouchun City became paralyzed, and no one cared about anything, just eating and waiting to die.
Yang Hong was also forced by the wealthy and aristocratic families to have no choice but to look for Yuan Shu, otherwise only a devil would be willing to look for Yuan Shu, who was like a madman.
"General, I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
But now, Zhang Xun can only bite the bullet and report it.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I don't have any patience anymore."
Yuan Shu was out of breath.
"Lu Bu is gathering the generals who have betrayed the dynasty and are preparing to do evil to His Majesty!"
Zhang Xun's first reaction when he got the news was to realize that something was wrong.
If Lu Bu united with the rebels and led a large army to attack, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for Yuan Shu in Shouchun City.
It's okay if we survive, but if we don't, the newly established regime will be gone.
Zhang Xun is also a beneficiary of Yuan Shu's regime. Naturally, he does not want Yuan Shu's regime to fall so soon. At least let him find a way out first.
Now that he has not found a way out, Lu Bu is about to lead an army to attack. How will he deal with this!
Zhang Xun is not a fool. He can feel that Yuan Shu's big ship will sink sooner or later. Even if Lu Bu does not attack, there will be other princes attacking. It is wise to find a way out as soon as possible.
It's just that Zhang Xun hasn't found a way out yet. He can be regarded as a grasshopper on the same rope as Yuan Shu. He must first overcome the difficulties with Yuan Shu and get through Lu Bu's crisis before he can do anything else.
"What?!"
Yuan Shu was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed. He looked as if he was frightened by Lu Bu's name.
Zhang Xun was even more disappointed when he saw Yuan Shu in such a miserable state. How could such a lord achieve great things?
Yang Hong's expression also changed wildly. He originally thought that after Lu Bu defeated Cao Cao, he would calm down for a while and they could survive.
Who would have thought that Lu Bu would be so courageous to defeat Cao Cao and turn around to attack Shouchun City before consolidating his victory? He was not afraid of being choked to death!
But it has to be said that Lu Bu's strategy is quite clever, and he knows how to unite the rebel generals in Jiujiang County.
After all, there were many rebel generals in Jiujiang County, and Yuan Shu could not control the situation at all. It was just that Yuan Shu relied on Shouchun City, and they had not had any thoughts about Yuan Shu before.
But with Lu Bu taking the lead, these rebel generals must have had other thoughts and wanted to follow Lu Bu to attack Shouchun City and get a share of the pie.
"Please also ask your Majesty to send troops to control Hefei and Han Siam, take Hefei City into his pocket, and rely on geographical advantages to block Lu Bu from Shouchun City."
Zhang Xun said in a deep voice.
Shouchun City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Zhang Xun was not worried about Lu Bu leading tens of thousands of troops. After all, he might have been blocked by the favorable geographical location before he even reached Shouchun City!
But now that Hefei is no longer in Yuan Shu's hands, the road leading to Shouchun City from the south is unobstructed. Now the only option is to take back Hefei before Lu Bu sends troops.
Only by controlling the city of Hefei can Yuan Shu have more capital to maneuver.
"Your Majesty, what General Zhang said is absolutely true. Hefei City is a barrier to the south. If Hefei City is controlled by Han Xian, the door to the south will be wide open and Shouchun City will be in danger!"
Yang Hong also spoke up at this moment.
At this moment when the survival of Yuan Shu's regime is at stake, Yang Hong cannot continue to be a coward and must speak out.
"What can we do?"
"Then Lu Bu just defeated Cao Aman, how can I be my opponent?"
Yuan Shu was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and unable to listen to Zhang Xun and others' plans.
He felt that Zhang Xun and others were trash, and if they listened to the trash's strategies, they would only lose their lives in Shouchun City.
no!
We must go north to find Yuan Shao before Lu Bu sends troops to break out.
Yuan Shu had contacted Yuan Shao before, and Yuan Shao promised to send his eldest son Yuan Tan to greet him, and he must be on the way now.
As long as he follows Yuan Tan back to Qingzhou, Yuan Shu can sit back and relax and no longer have to fear Lu Bu and his like.
The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that this was the best idea at the moment, so he looked at Yang Hong and Zhang Xun expectantly and said, "Let's abandon the city!"
Yang Hong and Zhang Xun were completely dumbfounded when they heard this. They were still helping Yuan Shu make plans, hoping to defend Shouchun City and preserve Yuan Shu's last legacy.
But Yuan Shu was unlucky. He kept talking and abandoned the city, which made Zhang Xun and Yang Hong very tired. It was unlucky to have such an emperor.
"It's decided, pack up quickly and leave the city with me to Qingzhou!"
Yuan Shu made a decision immediately.
At the critical moment of life and death, Yuan Shu never hesitated and did what he said.
Zhang Xun and Yang Hong were quite helpless, knowing that they could not persuade Yuan Shu, so they had to abandon the city with Yuan Shu and go to Qingzhou.
