Chapter 499: The warship covers the sky, and the Yuan army strikes
Liu Yao stationed his troops in Qu'a, and was in the tent with Wei Kai, the censor who returned from Kuaiji, who called him wine.
Liu Yao and Wei Kai sat in the main seat.
On the left are Zhang Ying, Yu Mi, Fan Neng, and Chen Heng under Liu Yao's confidant generals.
Sitting on the right were counselors, Xie Li and others.
For a time, Liu Yao's command was also full of generals and talents.
Liu Yao raised his glass warmly and said to Wei Kai:
"Brother Bo Ru is an important official in the court and a new scholar.
This time, Liu Yao was very grateful to come to Yangzhou to pass the imperial edict for Yao.
This glass of wine, Yao respects Brother Boru!”
Wei Kai was also very proud. His itinerary was very smooth this time.
Liu Yao, Liu Xun, Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and others heard that he was sent by the court to grant them official positions, and they were all very polite to him.
Whenever I arrive at a place, I will serve you with good wine and dishes. At night, I will even serve the beautiful girl from Jiangnan to Wei Kai.
If he hadn't had the heavy responsibility, he really wanted to enjoy this for a few more days.
After obtaining the official position, these people were very happy and immediately claimed that they were loyal to the emperor and began to raise an army to resist Yuan Shu.
Wei Kai drank the wine in the glass and said to Liu Yao with a smile:
"Brother Zhengli, you are a relative of the Han Dynasty and have the same roots as the Grand Sima.
In the final analysis, the Liu family has the final say.
Brother Zhengli just needs to guard Jiangdong. When Da Sima leads his army to defeat Yuan Shu, Brother Zhengli will be the real overlord of Jiangnan!”
Liu Yao was very yearning for the future that Wei Kai portrayed him. He looked at Wei Kai with hope and said:
"If Yao really can control Yangzhou, he will be the leader of the Grand Sima, and at the same time he will never forget Brother Bo Ru's kindness."
Wei Kai continued to compliment:
"Yuan Shu is cunning and cruel, and he is not worthy of taking charge of Yangzhou at all.
It can be seen from his approach to Liu Jingsheng.
Brother Jingsheng's name is Bajun, which is so powerful that he is in Kyushu, but in the end he ends up under house arrest in Shouchun. It is really sad and lamentable.
He is so harsh in his attacks on famous officials in the world, let alone the people.
To govern prefectures and counties, we must rely on benevolent lords like Brother Bo Ru.”
Liu Yao was flattered by Wei Kai and almost forgot what his surname was.
He himself also hated Yuan Shu very much.
Liu Yao coveted the position of Yangzhou Mu for a long time, but in the end he was intercepted by Yuan Shu.
He himself had to swallow his anger and come to Qu'a.
He had already made up his mind to be a human being with his tail between his tail, and it was not until Wei Kai arrived that he had regained hope of regaining Yangzhou.
After drinking for three rounds, just when the atmosphere in the tent was very lively, a personal guard entered the tent to report to Liu Yao:
"Report to the lord! Yuan Shu led his army across the river to attack, and his warships covered the sky and the sun were imposing.
Yuan Shujun has now landed and is heading straight to Qu A to kill him. Please make a decision!”
"Dang!"
Liu Yao originally wanted to continue to toast Wei Kai, but when he heard that Yuan Shu was attacking, he was so scared that he couldn't hold his glass.
The wine glass in his hand actually fell to his feet, and the wine in the glass was spread all over the floor.
"This...Brother Bo Ru, Yuan Shu is coming, how should I resist?"
Wei Kai looked at Liu Yao's pale face and felt a little sick.
He thought to himself that Liu Yao was indeed not a big deal. Yuan Shu was so scared that he hadn't even called him.
As a relative of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yao is far behind his lord Liu Bei. No wonder he has been wasting his time in the small place of Qua.
Fortunately, Liu Bei didn't put his hope on Liu Yao, and he just needed to create some chaos for Yuan Shu.
Although Wei Kai looked down on Liu Yao, he comforted him very gently on the surface:
"Brother Zhengli, don't worry. The Grand Sima has already assembled 200,000 troops in Guanzhong and will go south to attack Yuan Shu soon.
The elder brother only needs to lead his troops to resist Yuan Shu for some time, and the court will defeat the thief.
At that time, I will ask for merit in front of the saint for Brother Zhengli!”
One of the important reasons why Liu Yao, Wang Lang and others agreed to raise an army to resist Yuan Shu was that Wei Kai fooled them and said that the court would conquer Yuan Shu.
They are still very happy to have officials and cooperate with the court to fight a favorable battle.
If they knew that Wei Kai had been lying to them, they would probably have the heart to crush him.
Liu Yao felt a little relieved after hearing Wei Kai's comfort.
He looked around and asked the generals:
"Yuan Shu's army is coming, who can take over it?"
The generals under Liu Yao were also eager to make more contributions and would be promoted to the court in the future.
General Zhang Ying stood up and bowed:
"Although Yuan Shu is fierce, in his opinion, he is like a native chicken and a tiled dog, and he is not afraid of it.
I was willing to lead an army to Niuzhu. Even if Yuan Shu attacked millions of troops, he would not be able to advance!"
After hearing Zhang Ying's words, Wei Kai suddenly felt that the sky was thunder was rolling and his whole body was in a bad state.
Nothing else, he is so familiar with the word "local chicken and tile dog".
Every time the lord's second brother Guan Yu faced the generals under Yuan Shu, he would mock the other party as a native chicken and a dog, and put the bidding to sell the first place.
But what's the result?
It's lucky to end the game in a draw. I was taught several times by Yuan Shu Haosheng.
Can this general named Zhang Ying really resist Yuan Shu?
Wei Kai expressed doubts about his strength.
Although Wei Kai thought Zhang Ying was unreliable, the people under Liu Yao did not think so.
They nodded deeply, echoing Zhang Ying's proposal, and clearly had high hopes for the general.
At the end of the military general, a young general stood up and said with a sigh:
"Yuan Shu is not afraid!
I am willing to defeat Yuan’s army for the vanguard!”
Wei Kai looked in the voice and saw that the young general was eight feet tall, with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.
He was wearing silver armor, with brocade belts hanging on his waist, and carrying two halberds on his back. He was majestic and handsome!
Wei Kai, who is good at knowing people, couldn't help but nod his head secretly, thinking that this general is still a character.
He couldn't help but ask:
"I don't know the general's name?"
The young player clasped his fists at Wei Kai and replied loudly:
"Someone is Donglai Taishici!"
It turned out that Liu Yao was from Muping, Donglai, and was a fellow villager with Taishi Ci.
Liu Yao had been kind to Taishi Ci in his early years. Taishi Ci was grateful for his kindness and became a favor to Liu Yao's tent.
Unfortunately, Liu Yao's vision of people is really not very good. There are generals like Taishi Ci who don't know how to win over them, but instead they value Zhang Ying and Fan Neng's disciples.
Seeing Taishi Ci ask for a fight, Liu Yao directly refused and said:
"Ziyi, you are still young and have no experience in commanding troops. You need to learn more from generals such as Zhang Ying.
Let’s do this, you can stay under my account and listen to it first. When the time comes, I will naturally let you lead the army alone.”
Taishici sighed and returned to his seat unhappily.
Wei Kai shook his head secretly in his heart. Such a mediocre leader has good generals but cannot be used, so Taishici is afraid that there is no way to lead the troops.
Liu Yao turned around and ordered Zhang Ying:
"Since General Zhang is confident in dealing with Yuan Shu, I will assign you ten thousand elite soldiers to defend Niuzhu.
You don’t need to defeat the enemy, you just need to defend Yuan Shu’s attack for one month, even if you make the first contribution!”
Zhang Ying looked happy and said to Liu Yao with fists:
"Don't worry, lord!
Chapter completed!
