Chapter 105 How dare you take the initiative to provoke?
In fact, Pei Qing also knew that Yuan Shu had a lot of troops now, and the total number was estimated to be about 100,000, which was not much different from the Xiliang Army, but there was indeed a variety of quality. In addition to Runan's elite soldiers, he also joined forces with thieves from all over the country, such as Mei Gan, Lei Xu and others. They were originally thieves with tens of thousands of troops, and later surrendered to Yuan Shu. In addition, He Man, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, who was originally entrenched on the border between Runan and Nanyang. Because under Pei Qing's attack, the mountain village gradually declined, and finally led the only thousands of remaining soldiers in the mountain village to surrender to Yuan Shu.
In addition, the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fulu, who was entrenched in Hanoi County, also trusted Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian to enter into an alliance with Yuan Shu. On the one hand, it was to deal with the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, it was also to plot against Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
In fact, Yuan Shu had already controlled the entire Yuzhou through Sun Jian, but unfortunately Sun Jian died in battle. Pei Qing then took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Yingchuan. Yuan Shu was angry, but he was struggling to compete with Liu Biao for Nanyang and had no time to pay attention. Later, Nanyang was occupied by Pei Qing. Yuan Shu was furious at that time and wanted to attack Pei Qing and regain Nanyang and Yingchuan. However, Pei Qing actually established an alliance with Liu Biao, which made him afraid that Liu Biao would take the opportunity to capture his Runan, so he did not dare to act rashly.
However, even so, Yuan Shu was still recruiting troops. He used his strong appeal in his family in Runan to directly recruit thousands of elite troops from Runan and established the most powerful inner guard under his command. He is now ready to completely control and digest the entire Yuzhou county and states except Yingchuan, and forcefully crush Pei Qing's Yingchuan with the power of the state, counterattack Nanyang, and then lead the army northward to occupy Chenliu, and then seize the entire Yanzhou.
Yuan Shu also had his own righteousness to seize Yanzhou. Jin Shang, the governor of Yanzhou, who was appointed by the court in the first few days, fled to his army because he was expelled by Cao Cao, who proclaimed himself the governor of Yanzhou. Jin Shang asked him to help him seize Yanzhou and restore his position in Yanzhou. Yuan Shu thought this was a rare opportunity because he could use this as an excuse to occupy the entire Yanzhou. As for Jin Shang, he helped him become the governor of Yanzhou, so of course he had to obey his fate.
"The key to this is to defeat Pei Qing. I really didn't expect that this guy ran around Guanzhong and not only came back alive, but also brought tens of thousands of troops. But so what? With his little army, can he compare with me?"
Yuan Shu was full of energy. He felt that the conditions for attacking Pei Qing were about to ripe. He had tried to contact Liu Biao and used the condition of ceding Nanyang to induce Liu Biao to take a wait-and-see attitude. So now he is short of the new Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. As long as Tao Qian is willing to send troops to attack Pei Qing, he will not only lose less troops, but also easily eliminate Pei Qing, but also further consolidate the alliance with Tao Qian.
But several days have passed, and there has been no movement in Tao Qian. It was said that it was Zang Ba, a general under Tao Qian, who tried his best to persuade Tao Qian not to be enemies with Pei Qing, because Pei Qing was the governor of Yuzhou appointed by the court.
Yuan Shu was furious after hearing the news. He was angry and included Tao Qian on the list of future dealings. After he won Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the future, he would be the first to attack Tao Qian.
"Hmph, you Tao Gongzu, I can still defeat Pei Qing's son by myself. I originally gave you a chance to please me, but you didn't catch it. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude." Yuan Shu's eyes were covered with a cold look. He thought for a while and said to the clerk: "Transfer my orders to make Que Xuan from Xia Pi immediately, and buy Xia Pi Xiangrong with a lot of money, so that he would not suppress him. Humph, I want to cause some trouble for you Tao Gongzu, and also send Ji Ling to order 30,000 people to attack Pei Qing in Yingchuan with me..."
In addition to being angry, Yuan Shu did not care that Tao Qian was an alliance with him, so he immediately ordered some trouble for Tao Qian. At the same time, he also decided to lead his army to attack Pei Qing, take back Yingchuan, and remove this thorn in his eyes, so as to realize his plan to annex Yanzhou.
However, at this moment, I saw the general, also his cousin Yuan Yin, send him and said, "Brother, something is wrong."
"Why are you so panicked? How many times have you said to you? Be calm." Seeing that the fellow disciple was so panicked, Yuan Shu immediately scolded him. Seeing that the other party was stammering and wanted to speak, he asked, "What happened? Sit down and talk slowly."
Yuan Yin said, "It's not that I'm panicking, but something really happened. Pei Qing, the governor of Yuzhou..."
"What is the governor of Yuzhou? He is a forgery of the imperial edict, do you know? He is the governor of Yuzhou. I will lead his troops to capture him in battle. Humph, who doesn't know that Yuzhou is my territory now," Yuan Shu emphasized before saying to Yuan Yin: "Tell me, what's wrong with Pei Qing, the governor of Yuzhou?"
"Yes," Yuan Yin lowered his head, but his face was sarcastic, and he thought silently: "I also said that he was the pseudo-Yuzhou governor. Who doesn't know that the governor of Yuzhou was given by his son in person today? On the contrary, you, a subordinate of the governor of Yuzhou, don't take the other party seriously at all, even if you just send someone to show good things? I really don't know what your brain is thinking?"
However, Yuan Yin could only follow Yuan Shu's words: "People Yuzhou Governor Pei Qing, with an army of 30,000, came to compete for Pei State in person, saying that he would go to Qiao County to become the governor of Yuzhou. It is said that his front has arrived in Chen State and will enter the border of Pei State soon."
"What?" Yuan Shu suddenly turned purple after hearing this and said, "I really didn't expect that Pei Qing was so bold and provoked me on his own initiative? Since that's the case, let him learn some lesson. Didn't he attack my Pei Kingdom? I'll let him fight and pass on the order, and ordered Ji Ling to lead an army of 80,000 to defend Pei Kingdom, while I personally led 50,000 soldiers to attack his old nest Yingchuan. Pei Qing led his army to attack Pei Kingdom. Yingchuan must be empty. I can definitely easily break Yingchuan and make Pei Qing's children a stray dog!"
Yuan Shu was full of excitement, as if he had captured Yingchuan now, forcing Pei Qing to be homeless.
At this time, Yuan Yin whispered: "Brother, don't take it lightly. Pei Qing has been a long battle formation. He must know that he will be prepared for Yingchuan. If we can't conquer Yingchuan and lose Peiguo, then that's really..."
