"Your Majesty, Nanyang has been unable to be attacked for a long time. Our army has been fighting for a long time and has become exhausted. It will not be easy for us to fight again. I hope your Majesty will think twice!" Yan Xiang persuaded earnestly at the puppet emperor's hall in Runan, Yuzhou.
Since the founding of the dynasty, Yuan Shu's side has never stopped fighting. No matter how wealthy your family is, you cannot continue to lose like this! If we don't recover and just fight, this company will be ruined sooner or later!
Originally, Kuai Tong was ordered by Liu Xiu to come to beg for peace, Yang Hong was bribed, and Li Bi tacitly supported it. The main combatants such as Wang Mang and Jiang Xiaobai were not in the court, so Yuan Shu was stabilized.
However, once the results of the Xiangyang War came out, how could Kuai Tong still be interested in staying here and pretending to be cowardly? It was just a delaying tactic in the first place. They didn't really want to ask for peace or surrender!
Even if he wants to ask for peace or surrender, who is Yuan Shu? He is not a green onion, and it will never be his turn!
Therefore, Kuai Tong decisively found a substitute, and he himself quietly ran away and returned to Jingbei.
As soon as Kuai Tong ran away, Yuan Shu was furious. If you want to sue for peace, sue for peace, and if you want to run away, run away. You really treat this place as your own home, and you can do whatever you want with it?
Yuan Shu said that the fight must continue to send troops to let the children of the Liu family know who is the father!
However, Dad Shu wanted to continue fighting, but Yan Xiang didn't want to continue like this. Nanyang has been attacking for such a long time, but it has not produced any results. If it continues to attack, it will be nothing but a waste of national power.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Xiang has been pestering Yuan Shu every day for the past two days, trying to persuade Yuan Shu to change his mind. No one has this kind of perseverance!
Speaking of which, Yan Xiang is loyal to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu has nothing to say to Yan Xiang. If another person makes Yuan Shu unhappy every day, try to see if Yuan Shu will give him a good life.
But it was Yan Xiang who often made Yuan Shu unhappy, but Yuan Shu was angry because he was angry. He would not listen to Yan Xiang's advice when he should, and he would scold him when he should, but he would not really do it. Punish Yan Xiang, and even occasionally reward him.
To be honest, it is not without reason that Yuan Shu can gain the loyalty of Yan Xiang, Pang Juan and other civil and military officials.
"Then the Liu family's child is teasing me like this, how can we let it go like this!" Yuan Shu said angrily.
He is the real one. Since Liu Xiu dares to send someone to tease him, he must make the other party pay the price.
"Situ, what do you think?" Yuan Shu asked Li Shui.
Yan Xiang and Lishui, nine out of ten sentences by these two people have opposite views. Therefore, when Yuan Shu asked Li Shui, he also hoped that he could rely on Li Shui to fight Yan Xiang back. Yuan Shu has used this method many times, and it works quite well.
In other words, Li Shui has a better future working under Yuan Shu than under Li Xiang. How long has passed since then, and he has already been promoted to Situ, one of the three princes.
If this were under Li Xiang's hands, it would probably take most of his life to get to this level! With Li Xiang's competitiveness, it was not easy to think that it would be Li Shui's turn.
"Your Majesty, I also think it is not appropriate to continue to entangle in Nanyang!" Li Shui thought for a moment and replied.
Li Xiang naturally does not want any princes in the south to dominate or even unify the entire south. However, since Zhu Yuanzhang has already sent troops, Li Xiang will not let him go back again!
Besides, it’s impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to listen to Li Xiang!
Similarly, Liu Xiu was even less likely to sit back and watch Zhu Yuanzhang swallow Jingnan, cripple Xiang Yu, and then begin to unify the entire south. After all, he is located in the south, and Liu Xiu is definitely more urgent than Li Xiang when it comes to his own safety.
Therefore, although it is impossible for Liu Xiu to join forces with Xiang Yu at this time, he will definitely find ways to create obstacles and obstacles for Zhu Yuan. At this time, Li Xiang wanted to give Liu Xiu enough ability to cause Liu Xiu to create obstacles and stumbling blocks for Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this time, instead of letting Yuan Shu consume Liu Xiu, it is better to hand the chessboard to Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Xiu, and Xiang Yu and let the three of them communicate with each other.
After hearing Li Shui's answer, Yan Xiang couldn't help but be secretly happy. There were not many times when he and Li Shui could think of being together. Most of the time, the two of them have diametrically opposed views.
Therefore, almost every time when going to court, the court would become a "battlefield" for these two people for a short period of time.
Now, the main combatants such as Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang are not here, and Pang Juan and Xian Zhen are also leading their own troops. Now Li Shui also expressed that he can no longer continue the fight. Yan Xiang said that this matter is stable.
Among Yuan Shu's forces, not to mention Pang Juan and other combative generals, Wang Mang and Jiang Xiaobai were the outright fighting faction, even the violent fighting faction.
In fact, Wang Mang and Jiang Xiaobai were feeling miserable. They originally wanted to be the masters of their own country, but Yuan Shu insisted on playing a trick of becoming emperor. Now, they were forced to be tied to the throne first. On a boat.
In the final analysis, Yuan Shu's territory was too small, and none of them dared to rebel against Yuan Shu. Otherwise, even if they succeed, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in this troubled world with the benefits each of them receives, and it will also be difficult to prevent the devouring of other surrounding princes.
If Yuan Shu's power and territory were as big as Li Xiang's, Wang Mang and Jiang Xiaobai would have joined forces to find a way to kill Yuan Shu first, so why bother working for Yuan Shu so hard.
It is precisely because of this that among Yuan Shu's forces, Wang Mang and Jiang Xiaobai have the strongest desire to expand. Anyway, Shu's father has a lot of people and money, so he is not afraid of them wasting it.
"Your Majesty, Nanyang is really difficult to conquer for a while, but Sun Ce's son is surrounded by wolves. If my lord takes action, he will surely gain something! Could it be that my lord has forgotten the grudge against Sun Jian's invasion of the army? Is it that my lord doesn't want to annihilate the Sun family with his own hands?" Li Shui asked with an indifferent smile.
Compared to Yan Xiang who stated the interests and harms and explained the truth so earnestly, Li Shui was still better at diverting Yuan Shu's hatred.
As long as Yuan Shu's hatred is transferred to other people, there is no need for Yuan Shu to keep staring at Liu Xiu.
"Sun Jian is hateful, and so is the Sun family!" Yuan Shu said through gritted teeth.
There are historical reasons why Yuan Shu hates Sun Jian so much.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, Sun Jian was assigned to the position of Lu County. The Sun family came from a strong family and had no background at all, and the geographical location of Lu County was very embarrassing. Therefore, Sun Jian relied on Yuan Shu to overcome the difficulty at first.
But later, the two sides began to fight in order to carve up Yuzhou, and the honeymoon period of both sides ended.
After that, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Sun Jian launched another massive attack. The two sides were completely at odds with each other.
All these things, in Yuan Shu's eyes, Sun Jian was an ungrateful villain who betrayed him!
