Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

After Yuan Shu became emperor, he was full of ambition and became known as the Zhongshi. Although Yan Xiang tried to persuade him to fail, he was a loyal minister after all, and he could never leave Yuan Shu and be a loyal subject. Therefore, even though Yan Xiang did not approve of Yuan Shu being emperor, he had no choice but to continue to advise Yuan Shu.

"Lord."

"Yan Xiang is rude!" Yang Hong, who had just been promoted to Guangluxun, reprimanded: "Now your majesty is the emperor, why are you still called the lord?"

Yan Xiang gave Yang Hong a cold look and said coldly, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan."

After all, Yuan Shu just proclaimed the emperor, it was when his thinking was most active, so he said with interest: "Doctor Yan cares about national affairs, I am very happy, let's talk about it."

"After your majesty proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Ye claimed to be the orthodox Han Dynasty, and he would definitely fight against him. But before Liu Ziyang in Huainan was conquered by the court, before he left, he reorganized the subordinates of Zheng Bao and others. Take control." Yan Xiang said slowly.

"Xu Huang?" Hearing Yan Xiang's words, Ji Ling immediately became excited and said angrily: "Lord, please take a good soldier, first take down Yinling City, capture Xu Huang, and frustrate Liu Ye's spirit!"

Yan Xiang nodded slightly: "The same is true of his subordinates, Yinling City is on the east side of Shouchun, very close, and Xu Huang has always been famous for his long-distance driving in his soldiers. If he waits until Liu Ye's army presses the border, Xu Huang attacks from the flanks. The pressure on our army will be enormous."

"But..." Yan Xiang turned around, then said: "This time I will conquer Xu Huang, but I can't send General Ji."

Ji Ling's bull's eyes glared: "Doctor Yan, what? Can't you believe me, there was a reason why I was defeated last time, I am willing to make a military order!"

Yan Xiang smiled bitterly: "General Ji, stay safe. Although Yinling City is dangerous, how about a sledgehammer? Liu Ye will definitely join Liu Bei and lead Liangzhou army and Yuzhou army to the south, and the leader must be experienced. The main force of the warring Liangzhou soldiers, if General Ji goes to crusade Xu Huang, who will resist the Liangzhou cavalry like a wolf and a tiger?"

Ji Ling curled his lips: "Yinling City is only a hundred miles away from Shouchun. I will arrive in one day. I will break the city on the 5th and rush back.

Yuan Shu said directly: "Okay Ji Ling, what Doctor Yan said makes sense, you are my Yingbu, of course you can't be overkill."

Having said that, Yuan Shu ordered: "Let's go, Leju, you lead an army of 20,000, and you will set off today and break through the Yinling City as soon as possible. Even if you can't, you must be firmly surrounded, don't let Xu Huang come out to disrupt the situation, you know?"

"Nuo, rest assured, your majesty." Leju has always been known in Yuan Shujun for advancing quickly, and he thinks it will be very easy for Yuan Shu to entrust this quick task to himself.

Seeing that Yan Xiang was in the limelight, Yang Hong, who had never dealt with him, was naturally unwilling to be overshadowed by Yan Xiang, so he got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan too!"

Yuan Shu laughed: "Well, well, Yang Qing can come quickly."

Yang Hong arched his hand, a look of pride appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, it is the so-called preemptive strike, and the latter is controlled by others. Your majesty proclaims the emperor and establishes the Zhong clan. The people in Huainan are inspired. Our army should take the opportunity to expand its territory and change the day. How can you passively wait for the arrival of Liu Ye's army here?"

Yuan Shu was not a fool, and he quickly understood Yang Hong's meaning: "You mean, we take the initiative to attack?"

Yang Hong nodded slowly: "Yes, taking advantage of Liu Ye's mobilization of troops and horses still takes time, our army should mobilize troops to go north, quickly seize Yingchuan County and Chen Kingdom, all based in Yuzhou, and then rely on the geographical advantage to start a decisive battle with Liu Ye's army!"

Yang Hong said in a bewitching tone: "If the princes saw me today that the Zhong clan was founded but did not come back, it was only because he was worried that the Zhong clan could replace the Han Dynasty. As long as our army can compete with the Han army, then the world will naturally They will all honour his majesty, and at that time, you can order King Zhao, Qiaohou, Sun Zhengnan and others to hunt in the Central Plains and enter the pass in one fell swoop. At that time, your majesty will move the capital to Luoyang and inherit the Datong!"

Listening to Yang Hong's description, Yuan Shu's smile gradually unfolded. It seemed that his description had come true. He was about to be crowned Dabao wearing a gun mian, and announced the establishment of the Zhong clan in Luoyang, the political center of the Han Dynasty.

"Great!"

Yuan Shu almost roared the word, his expression excited: "Where is Zhang Xun?"

"The minister is here."

Zhang Xun stood up. Although he had lost the battle recently, he was after all Yuan Shu's old vassal, a lieutenant general, and had great prestige. Therefore, after Yuan Shu ascended the throne, he named Zhang Xun a general.

This is not to say that Ji Ling's status is inferior to Zhang Xun. Ji Ling's position is Jin Wuwei, who is responsible for Yuan Shu's personal safety, just like Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu. Is Xiahou Dun's status high enough? In terms of relationship, it is Cao Cao's clan brothers, in terms of identity as a general, but Xu Chu who can approach Cao Cao at will, even Cao Ren and other clan generals can only enter after reporting.

"Zhang Xun, you lead 60,000 soldiers and go north to Yuzhou. You must defeat Liu Bei and win the second county of Yingchuan, you know?" Yuan Shu ordered.

Before giving Ji Ling no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, now it has doubled directly to Zhang Xun, which shows how strong Yuan Shu wants to win Yuzhou.

Zhang Xun immediately clasped his fists and said loudly: "Please rest assured, my army will be invincible wherever my army goes."

Yuan Shu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, if that's the case, you can go."

Ji Ling was in a hurry, did your majesty forget himself: "Lord...Your Majesty! How about me? How can I not be used in war?"

Yuan Shu smiled: "Jiling, your identity will be different from today. You are the King Wuwei. You must protect my completeness. I am the emperor, and there must be no damage. Protecting me is a great reward, more than winning a battle. Important."

Ji Ling scratched his head and said nothing.

"If this is the case, please ask the two generals to dispatch troops quickly, the sooner the better!" Yuan Shu urged.

"promise!"

Before Liu Ye led the army to set off, Yuan Shu was "preemptive" and dispatched Leju and Zhang Xun to lead a total of 80,000 troops to attack Yinling City, Yingchuan County and Chen Kingdom respectively.

However, although Yuan Shujun has a large number of troops, apart from the confidant trilogy of many generals under his command, the rest is just a group of peasants, who are given a piece of armor and a spear.

This group of people don’t even have hard iron armor. They don’t even have a second-class leather armor. The shaft of a spear is wood, and only the tip of the spear has a pitiful bit of iron. If it weren’t for this spear, I'm afraid that people will believe that they are yellow turban thief by putting on a yellow turban.

Yuan Shu's so-called 100,000 soldiers are mostly such things. In addition to those civilian husbands who are recruited to build palaces, they are rich in Yuzhou and Huainan, and they are also miserable.
