"You kid finally know you're back?"

"I thought you were going to live a lonely life in the military camp?"

Yuan Shu, who was living on the bedside, closed his eyes and rested, looked at Yuan Yao entering and slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Hey. Father, aren't you always miss me? Why don't you come back and pay tribute to you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao responded with a smile on his face.

"...Who misses you? You kid is doing things all day long, and you are just listening to your father's words. I wish you never reply in the future..."

"Oh, is that like this? Since the father is destined, the child will leave now!"

As he said that, Yuan Yao turned around and left.

In an instant, Yuan Shu was stunned. This kid didn't play by the routine, but seeing that he was really leaving, he couldn't help but roar in a deep voice: "Boy, come back."

After a word fell, Yuan Yao quickly turned back, his face full of joyful excitement and the pleasure of the plan succeeding. Seeing this, Yuan Shu narrowed his eyebrows and eyes. He knew that he had been plotted by this boy, and his expression suddenly darkened the next second.

"Father, don't be angry. I'll come to rub your shoulders. Being angry is not good for your health and your face is prone to wrinkles..."

After arguing with each other, Yuan Yao, as a child, still took the lead and took off his shoes and rubbed his shoulders on Yuan Shu's back.

After apologizing, Yuan Yao made a statement first.

The conflict arising from the disagreement of political views a few days ago was slightly alleviated.

Then, Yuan Yao sat down and said with a serious look on his face: "By the way. Father, you tried your best to get your child back home just to make me respect you, but what's the important thing?"

"What is this?" Suddenly, Yuan Shu's face turned dark and he said sternly: "Is it not important to be filial to a father? It is natural for children to fulfill their filial piety, but..."

After a deep voice, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "But I have other plans to discuss with you for my father."

"But it's still the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains?"

"That's right!"

Seeing that his son guessed the intention in an instant, Yuan Shu smiled with relief and said: "Today, Yan Zi Shang came to the palace to pay homage to his father, and proposed a good plan for our army's Northern Expedition. If you think it is feasible, your uncle will also let you listen to your opinions."

After a word, Yuan Shu briefly explained Yan Xiang’s plan.

"Well, that's such a coincidence?"

After hearing this, seeing a strange look on Yuan Yao's face, Yuan Shu asked, "Yaoer, is there any problem with this strategy?"

"No, no. It's just that Mr. Yan's plan coincides with what the child wants!"

"So did Yao'er thinks so?"

At this moment, Yuan Shu suddenly looked shocked, and then he couldn't help but look serious, staring at Yuan Yao tightly, as if looking for the difference.

He knew the best how much his son was, but since this month, Yuan Yao has been in and out of the military camp frequently, he has become a different person. He often has many remarks and actions that he can't see through.

"Yaoer, do you really have no expert guidance behind you?"

After being shocked, Yuan Yao asked with suspicion.

"Did the father just distrust his child so much?"

However, looking at his father's suspicion, Yuan Yao did not tell him that it was Cui Zhouping's plan, but instead said in a deep voice.

After talking for a while, Yuan Yao calmed down and said, "Father. Since last year you rejected the idea of ​​supporting Liu Yu as emperor, and fought for the land of Yuzhou. Now your relationship with you is already very bad. If your father leads the people to attack the Central Plains again, the uncle will definitely interfere and obstruct."

"The prefect Cao Cao of Dongjun is represented by his uncle. If he fights with him, Cao Mengde will definitely become his uncle's horseman and will fight with our army first. Liu Biao of Xiangyang is also eyeing Nanyang. In this way, it is particularly important to use diplomatic means to unite the princes to form a coalition force and fight against the enemy's enemy."

As he said this, Yuan Yao felt deeper and deeper.

Yan Xiang and Cui Zhouping both made the same plan for the current situation, which was to join forces with the princes to attack Yuan Shao's forces. However, with such a huge battle in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the military strength of Yuan's army was in a mess, and they suffered a crushing defeat when Cao Cao's army was defeated.

Tens of thousands of troops were defeated thousands of miles away, and Yuan Shu was forced to flee for hundreds of miles to the Huainan area of ​​Yangzhou.

Now that Yuan Yao has traveled over, he has tried his best to stop his father from expeditioning the Northern Expedition, but the facts have proved that it has not succeeded. Then he can only do his best to help his army not be as defeated as in the original history.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Yao said seriously: "Father, Mr. Yan, the child thinks that the strategy he has provided is feasible now."

"Since his debut, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has repeatedly fought against the Hu people and made many military achievements. His command gradually gathered a group of Youyan soldiers with strong combat power. If he joined forces with him, he would definitely be able to go south to invade the counties of Jizhou, which would force our army to be unable to send troops south when the Central Plains was in the northern expedition of the Central Plains. This move will greatly reduce the pressure on our army."

Speaking of this, Yuan Yao paused, and when he saw his father listening unexpectedly, he did not interrupt his own trend at all, he said again: "Secondly, the Xuzhou Muslim Tao Qian was ranked in Xuzhou for many years, sending troops to suppress bandits, quelling bandits, punishing corrupt officials and purging officials."

"He also attaches importance to the development of people's livelihood. The people's expectations in Xuzhou are also extremely deep, with tens of thousands of troops. I heard that he has a Danyang army that is good at fighting, and is extremely powerful."

"If we get help from his troops to go east to Yanzhou, we will definitely be able to help our army and disperse Cao Cao's military strength."

With every word, Yuan Yao summarized the reasons for the joint battle between the princes of the Zong family.

In fact, Yuan Yao also knew that since the end of the battle against Dong in the original history, Dong Zhuo was forced to move westward due to the strength of the heroes of Kanto, the world fought against the two Yuans and formed a situation confrontation.

An alliance formed by a great princes such as Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian fought against the alliances such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao.

The previous battle in Yuzhou, the upcoming battle in Kuangting, or the Battle of Jieqiao, which was defeated by Gongsun Zan, are just microcosms of the alliance between the two sides!

It happened that the alliance between the two sides was dominated by Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and even as fierce as the tiger Sun Jian in Jiangdong, the talented and treacherous hero Cao Cao was once their younger brother.

Therefore, later generations like to joke when they are free to brag: If the two Yuans work together, how could the Three Kingdoms stand in the end of the Han Dynasty?

After a while, although Yuan Yao said this, he combined the historical prophets and what he saw and heard in the barracks over the past few days and knew that the final battle between Kuang Ting was not diplomacy, but his own military combat capabilities.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao suddenly took a long breath and solemnly described the current situation in the military camp to his father.

After saying that, he said in a deep voice: "Father. According to the time when my child was in the military camp, he rarely met the generals in the army organizing military soldiers to train. The soldiers of each battalion lacked control and were even more idle on weekdays. I hope my father will rectify the army as soon as possible. Otherwise, the soldiers who had been disbanded in military discipline and had been neglected to train in the battle formation for a long time would not be effective."

Because Yuan Shu was extremely persistent in the Northern Expedition, Yuan Yao knew that he was powerless to change. Now he could only prepare for every point before the war. If he could make a point, he would win, at least not as bad as he had lost in the original history...

After hearing Yuan Yao’s story, Yuan Shu’s expression changed drastically, and then he was filled with anger, and his anger gradually accumulated on his face.

Although he doesn't like military affairs, he is not a fool. He naturally knows that only strong soldiers have the right to speak in troubled times.

But he did not expect that the generals under him would take advantage of his shortcomings of rarely inspecting the military camp.

"Is it unbearable!"

Seeing that his father was extremely angry, Yuan Yao comforted: "Father, please calm down and listen to your child's words. In his opinion, even if the generals are not passive and slackened, the child is not optimistic about their rule and ability to govern the army."

"Um?"

"Although General Sun Wentai has passed away, his old subordinates are all veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time, with strong combat power. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are all generals who command troops. Why not use it?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao with a little surprise, pondered for a moment before solemnly explaining: "Chen Pu and others know how capable they are as fathers, but they are not the direct line of fathers after all."

"If it is enabled, the power of the direct generals is divided, it is like Liu Xiang, Liang Gang and other generals who have been following him for a long time, and wouldn't they feel jealous? Such a morale will definitely be in chaos!"

After saying that, Yuan Shu also slowly mentioned the reason why he idle Sun Jian’s former general.

only.

Yuan Yao knew the abilities of Cheng Pu and others. If he didn't use them, he would be a waste of resources. And if he didn't use them as generals now, how could he have the power to fight against Cao Cao at that time?

The defeat of Kuang Ting was on the surface because of the low combat power of the army, but the deeper level of the problem was caused by the incompetence of Liu Xiang and other direct generals.

After thinking carefully, Yuan Yao showed a decisive look on his face and gave a suggestion: "Father, the child has a good strategy to make a plan to replace the pillars of the slightest slightest move and let the old general Sun Jian use it for our army!"

"What plan?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu's expression suddenly moved and he hurriedly asked.

"Father. At present, our army will still choose envoys to join the alliances of various princes of the throne. These will take time to complete. In that short period of time, our army will not have major military operations."

"Why not take advantage of this period of time when the generals are inaction, and we quietly replace the old general Sun Jian with the combat power of the soldiers in each battalion. If only a period of time is needed to stabilize, even if the generals react, they will be helpless!"

"At that time, the generals can only let their father decide."

After a while, Yuan Shu began to ponder and ponder the feasibility carefully.

After a while, Yuan Shu suddenly said, "Yaoer, what if you hand over this matter to you for your father?"

"Um?"

As soon as these words were finished, Yuan Yao opened his eyes wide and stared at Yuan Shu with surprise. After a while, he frowned and said, "Father...father, are you still not objecting to your child's entry into the army?"

"What's the use of opposing or not? Have you listened to the words of your father?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and said seriously, but the next second he smiled and said, "Why don't you ask Yuan Chen to tie you up now, so you can't go to the military camp again?"

"Don't...father, the child is willing to accept the mission."

Seeing this, Yuan Yao immediately received the order.

But the next second he also said: "But, my father, I have no military position at the moment. If I participate in military affairs as my son in the future, although my status is noble, as the saying goes, it will be unpleasant and will be difficult to convince the public. Therefore, my father begged my father to entrust me to the position of captain and supervise the military."
