Chapter 107 Yuan Shu Intends to Take Revenge! The Working-Class Sun Ce Takes Action
Poor Chen Lan, because the old patriarch of the Chen family in Xiaopei refused to acknowledge him, was eventually dragged away and beheaded by Dian Wei.
However, after Chen Lan was killed, the old patriarch of the Chen family in Xiaopei immediately and warmly welcomed Cao Cao and Su Yu to come in and have a seat.
When asked if he was willing to serve Cao Cao's camp, the patriarch of the Chen family in Xiaopei immediately patted his chest and said, "It is my duty."
At the same time, he also introduced his two sons to serve as minor officials under Su Yu.
Don't underestimate the status of a minor official.
That old man from the Chen family is not stupid at all! He's incredibly shrewd!
Who is Su Yu?
He was Cao Cao's most trusted strategist, and could be considered his chief military advisor.
As Cao Cao's reputation soared, Su Yu, who assisted him, naturally became a hot topic of discussion among scholars in the Central Plains.
It can be said that Su Yu and Cao Cao complemented each other.
This pair of ruler and minister has now become a "model of ruler and minister" in the eyes of many scholars.
Working under Su Yu is like being the secretary of the second-in-command at the provincial level. How could the future be bad?
of course.
There's no problem with Su Yu accepting the two sons of the old patriarch of the Chen family.
Whether these two brothers can do better in Cao Cao's camp later on depends on their own fortune and judgment.
Su Yu asked knowingly:
"Sir, what is the relationship between your Chen family and the Chen family of Yingchuan?"
The old patriarch of the Chen family in Xiaopei immediately replied:
"To be honest, young friend Su, the Chen family of Yingchuan is the same family as my Chen family of Xiaopei."
“Last month, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen from the Chen family of Yingchuan even came to ask these two scoundrels to go on a study tour together!”
"Unfortunately, my two sons are too playful and did not agree to Changwen's request."
Upon hearing this, a fleeting look of disappointment flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qun went on a study tour.
but it does not matter.
Once he returns, immediately send someone to the Chen family in Yingchuan to capture him and make him work as a slave, or rather, to make him their secretary!
……
The news of Xiao Pei's capture spread like wildfire.
Runan
Yuan Shu was furious!
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying:
"How dare Cao Cao, a mere descendant of a eunuch, seize the territory under my name!"
"If this person is not eliminated, I will have great difficulty finding peace of mind."
"And that damned Tao Qian! That old scoundrel, I originally thought he was a kind and pragmatic man."
"But I never expected that they would collude with Cao Cao and watch helplessly as my Xiaopei was lost!"
"Men, take stock of the troops! I am about to set out immediately to punish Cao Cao!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the civil and military officials under Yuan Shu showed different expressions.
The most rational Yan Xiang was the first to stand up and refute:
"My lord, it will be difficult to attack Cao Cao at this time."
"Firstly, Cao Cao already had nearly 100,000 troops, making him extremely powerful."
"Furthermore, Tao Qian has allied with Cao Cao. If he launches an attack while our army is attacking Cao Cao, I'm afraid our army will have a hard time dealing with it."
Honestly, Yan Xiangxin is very tired.
Every time he tried to persuade Yuan Shu, it would take him half a day before Yuan Shu would have the patience to listen.
Prior to this, Yan Xiang had already warned Yuan Shu not to underestimate Tao Qian, his ally.
When it's time to win them over, you have to do it.
Although Tao Qian is old and sick, he is not dead yet!
With nearly 100,000 Xuzhou troops at his disposal, no one could ignore the deterrent effect posed by Tao Qian.
If Tao Qian is forced to the opposite side and stands with Cao Cao, it would be a bad thing for Yuan Shu!
And so, Yan Xiang's prophecy came true.
Although Tao Qian did not directly state that he wanted to abandon the alliance with Yuan Shu.
However, by watching Cao Cao conquer Xiaopei, he had already betrayed Yuan Shu's camp and turned to stand with Cao Cao.
In terms of diplomatic relations, Yuan Shu can be considered a complete failure.
But Yuan Shu himself clearly did not think so.
He waved his hand grandly and said with boundless pride:
"What if Tao Qian and Cao Cao joined forces?"
"I control Yuzhou, Nanyang, Huainan and other places, with hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers. Even if they both send troops together, I can defeat them by my own strength!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiang covered his forehead, his face full of helplessness.
At this moment, he really envied Su Yu!
It is said that Cao Cao listened to whatever Su Yu said.
The main principle is to listen to advice!
Let's take a look at Yuan Shu.
Even though Yan Xiang was right, Yuan Shu, like a rebellious teenager, had to argue back and then put forward a completely different viewpoint.
At this time.
A weak voice came from the side.
"My lord, please do not send troops to attack Cao Cao or Tao Qian for the time being."
Everyone turned to look.
The one who spoke was none other than Yang Hong!
When Yuan Shu saw Yang Hong, he was like a mouse attracted to rice. He quickly went down the steps, came to Yang Hong's side, and shook his hand.
"Yang Qing is not feeling well and should rest properly."
"Yan Xiang can handle such a trivial matter; why should Yang Qing have to worry about it?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiang, who was standing to the side, blushed deeply and almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Even if we just make do with Shen Ta Ma Yan Xiang, we can still analyze it!
Is this human language?
So Yang Hong is now your precious darling, while I, Yan Xiang, am worthless?
Yang Hong glanced at Yan Xiang with a guilty expression.
It's all that damn Yanzhou Daily's fault!
Ever since Su Yu created that thing and vigorously promoted Yang Hong, Yang Hong has become the embodiment of loyalty in Yuan Shu's eyes.
but……
Yang Hong really wanted to say that he hadn't done anything!
The Yanzhou Daily is praising him so highly now. What if they stop praising him one day and start attacking him? Wouldn't that be the end of him?
Therefore, Yang Hong was so fearful that he couldn't sleep at night and even fell ill from the fright.
This is why Yang Hong is so weak.
but.
Yuan Shu is now indeed very obedient to Yang Hong.
Following Yan Xiang's words, Yang Hong continued his analysis:
"My lord, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is making moves against Nanyang."
"If our army goes to war with Cao Cao and Tao Qian, Liu Biao will definitely take action."
Upon hearing the news that Liu Biao might also send troops to attack from both sides, Yuan Shu finally hesitated.
Facing three warlords simultaneously, Yuan Shu was somewhat timid.
But Yuan Shu was still unwilling to give up and said:
"Am I really just supposed to stand by and watch Tao Qian betray the alliance and Cao Cao seize Xiaopei, which is under my control?"
Yang Hong forced a smile and replied:
"My lord, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan."
"Let Tao Qian, Cao Cao and the others be arrogant for a while. They'll have plenty of time to cry later."
"Furthermore, although my lord cannot send a large army to cause trouble for Cao Cao, he can send a naval force upstream along the Huai River to destroy cities and crops along the way, causing disaster for Cao Cao!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up.
Although the Huai River is far less wide than the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, its surface is wide enough for warships and naval forces to navigate.
What?
You ask where Yuan Shu got his navy?
Here comes a ready-made Sun Ce, the working class!
As newcomers to Yuan Shu's camp, it's only natural that they would be exploited by him.
It's likely that Sun Ce wouldn't refuse.
The remnants of his Jiangdong navy are also quite formidable, and they should be able to complete the task assigned to him by Yuan Shu.
That's exactly what Yuan Shu was thinking.
When Sun Ce received this damn mission, he smiled on the outside but cursed Yuan Shu and Yang Hong in his heart for more than an hour!
But no way.
Living under someone else's roof, Sun Ce could only lead his remaining troops on a campaign.
