The discussion is to be concluded on the gift of money and food to the Xiliang army.

Next, Yuan's army raised more than a thousand stone military rations, and Zhang Xiu personally led the elite cavalry to escort the pass and returned to Hongnong, and took away the appointment letters to take over the western part of Chenliu and other cities.

Along the way, he was also extremely excited.

This time, the exit from the customs not only obtained money and food, but also solved the urgent needs of the army, but also expanded the cities and expanded the territory eastward.

...

After solving the problem of the Xiliang Army, Yuan's army then adopted a comprehensive plan to clear the countryside and wanted to move to Yangzhou. The various troops began to gradually move towards Runan County.

At this moment, Yuan Shu couldn't help but think of Nanyang County and summoned Yuan Yaoxiang to ask: "Yaoer, if our army gives up fighting in the heartland of the Central Plains and retreats to Yangzhou, it will inevitably lead to the inability to border Nanyang County and territory in the future."

"What if this is the case?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yao had already thought about the countermeasures, and a smile appeared on his face and said softly:

"Father, Nanyang County borders Yingchuan County. Since our army has decided to temporarily give up fighting in the Central Plains, why should we hold this county tightly in our palms and make enemies on all sides?"

"If we do not abandon our troops to defend Nanyang County, once we wait for our troops to retreat to Yangzhou, we may not be enemies on all sides, but on all sides."

Speaking of this, Yuan Yao's expression suddenly became solemn and said loudly: "At that time, Liu Biao, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Liu Yao of Yangzhou, Li Jue of Guanzhong, and others, as well as the uncle who occupied Jizhou, were all major enemies of our army."

"But if you abandon Nanyang County, it will at least relieve the pressure on the Xiliang Army, Liu Biao and the two lines, and this will also reduce the military strength of our army. This is a profit. I hope my father will not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place."

For a moment, Yuan Yao offered up a strategy that had long been thoughtful.

Before the Battle of Kuangting, he had already considered in detail that if his side wanted to migrate to Jianghuai to develop, then the Nanyang County, which was adjacent to Yuzhou, would have to be abandoned.

Otherwise, the military defense pressure you face will be too huge and unbearable.

on the other hand.

He also discussed this matter in detail with Cui Zhouping.

In the end, from the perspective that occupying Nanyang is more harmful than beneficial, giving up is the best choice.

"give up?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu was obviously a little shocked, and then he said sternly with a muffled face: "Nanyang County is a big county in the world. Could it be that he just gave in to the old thief Liu Biao?"

Because Sun Jian died at the city because of the conquest of Liu Biao, he eventually failed to achieve the great cause of annexing Jingxiang, Yuan Shu naturally hated Liu Biao very much.

Now it is naturally difficult for him to accept that he wants to get his own advantage.

Looking at his father's indignant expression, Yuan Yao smiled, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and then patiently analyzed:

"Father, you misunderstood the child's meaning."

"The child's words are not to easily give Nanyang County to the old thief Liu Biao."

"That's the meaning of Yao'er..."

"Did my father ignore Lu Bu who came to vote?"

After a while, Yuan Shu suddenly woke up, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a daze: "Yaoer, are you planning to give Nanyang County to the capricious Lu Fengxian?"

"That's what my child means!"

As soon as these words were finished, Yuan Shu's face showed a few unhappy expressions. It was obvious that he was too unhappy about Lu Bu's character and was unwilling to give in to the prefectures and counties.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao immediately bowed and explained: "Father, although Lu Bu has major flaws in his character, he is a very useful person for our army to face the current situation."

Seeing that his son was so confident that he could speak, Yuan Yao gradually relaxed in his heart, so he signaled him to continue the story.

"Since Nanyang County must be abandoned, it proves that our army has no spare energy to dispatch military forces to garrison. Instead of doing so, let the old thief Liu Biao easily recover the northern territory of Jingxiang, why not let Lu Bu?"

"There are three reasons for the gift from Nanyang County: First, Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting. If he enters Nanyang, he will definitely resist the idea of ​​Liu Biao's army going north to swallow Nanyang County."

"Secondly, our army can also support Lu Bu, and lead his troops to restrain Cao Cao from south of Yuzhou, and slow down his development."

"On the other hand, Nanyang is facing Wuguan to the west, and from this way, you can go straight into Guanzhong. Now that the children have already provoked the division of the Xiliang army, the generals of Xiliang will definitely fall into a situation of constant internal struggle in order to compete for supreme power in the future."

"At that time, our army can use Lu Bu to pay attention to the situation in Guanzhong at any time and resist the attack of the Western Liang army from the pass."

After the words are finished.

Yuan Yao was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "In this way, the alliance of our army's princes has been achieved. Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian respectively restrained Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's forces, and the Xiongnu, Heishan Army, Zhang Ji, Duan Wei, Lu Bu and other troops were still under pressure."

"With such a group of enemies, it would be extremely difficult for Cao Cao to rise rapidly. This period of time coincides with an important moment for our army to stabilize Yangzhou, manage Huainan, and concentrate on development."

After a lot of analysis, Yuan Shu gradually accepted the deployment of Ren Nanyang County.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Shu couldn't help but look directly at Yuan Yao and smiled and said, "You kid, you have had a lot of more ghost ideas over the past period of time... I am very comforted by my father..."

"I have shared my father's worries with many worries..."

He murmured for a while, and couldn't help but say, "But, I heard that you had met Lu Bu at Wuguan last month, have you ever seen his daughter?"

"Is Yao'er a fond of her daughter, so she took great pains to find a place for Lu Bu, right?"

Yuan Shu joked halfway.

After hearing this, Yuan Yao understood his father's nature and knew that he had been persuaded by himself that he had given him a gift to Nanyang County to garrison at Lu Bu.

In response to this, he also smiled and responded: "Who does the father treat the child as?"

"Can the child be that lustful person..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yao changed his tone and developed infinite imagination space, murmured: "But it is undeniable that the women of the Lu family are indeed quite impatient. They hold a scattered halberd and wear a battle robe, which is quite heroic..."

"What, does Yao'er know how to appreciate women now?"

For a moment, Yuan Shu was in a good mood and couldn't help but respond with a smile as he heard his son making jokes without restraint.

"Ha ha."

After laughing, Yuan Yao bowed and replied, "We are each other, our father is a veteran in love. As the saying goes, like a father, one must have a son, and naturally the child cannot fall behind, right..."

“…”

Yuan Shu suddenly felt a little speechless, and he was speechless...

This is very reasonable... I can't refute...

...

In just a moment.

The father and son decided on the future where Nanyang County would go.
