    Liu Ke received the battle report from the South China Sea, and the situation was not too bad.  But he was very dissatisfied with Sun Ce's army's raid on Kuaiji.

    Han Dang only had 30,000 troops, and Zhang Zhao couldn't handle it.

    ??Any force that has been depleted is an excuse.

    "Prefect Zhang is a civil servant. He can guard Kuaiji, which is already good." Guo Jiadao.

    When he thought of 30,000 troops destroying his own territory, Liu Ke felt uncomfortable and said, "Isn't Zang Ba training new soldiers? Let him go and treat it as training."

    If Han Dang cannot be defeated even with double the force, then Liu Ke will admit defeat.  Yangzhou rarely bullies the minority with more.

    "This is feasible." Guo Jiadao.

    "Let the Tibetan tycoon act carefully. If he suffers heavy losses, he will be dismissed from his post. No, come to see him." Liu Kedao.

    Although he has full confidence in his subordinates, he is afraid that they will become conceited.

    Yangzhou can withstand the test of failure, but does not want to experience failure.

    Liu Ke still has his own things to do. As long as the South does not affect the strategy, it doesn't matter how he develops.

    Finally, the main force of Yangzhou entered Runan.

    Yuan Shu got the news immediately. At this moment, his mood was very complicated.

    The first time Liu Ke came and ran away again without stopping at all.  So Yuan Shu didn't find a chance to speak.

    Now Yuan Shu is confident. After all, he resisted Cao Cao for so long for Yangzhou and lost his troops and generals.

    This time it was the same. Liu Ke did not enter Runan City, but instead set up camp in the wild.

    "Does Marquis Dongyang dislike me?" Yuan Shu suddenly asked unconfidently. If Yangzhou proposed to enter Runan City, he would definitely not refuse.

    But he can¡¯t understand the current situation.

    "My lord is overly worried. The Marquis of Dongyang probably wants to fight Cao Cao's army as soon as possible," Yan Xiang said.

    "As expected of the Marquis of Dongyang, it is not unreasonable to make all the princes in the world fearful." Yuan Shu couldn't help but flatter him, but it was a pity that Liu Ke was not there.

    With the defeat of the Northern Route Army, Yuan Shu was the happiest person.  If Yangzhou frees up his hands, he will definitely solve the threat of Cao Cao.

    No, we arrived in Runan in a short while.

    "My lord, we are the hosts, should we go and welcome the Marquis of Dongyang?" Yan Xiang asked.

    Since the Marquis of Dongyang didn¡¯t come, Yuan Shu could go there, but it would be a loss of face.

    But what is face?

    Yuan Shu has looked away. The reason why Yuan Benchu ??did better than him was because he was thick-skinned.

    For example, he tricked Gongsun Zan into attacking Jizhou. After Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he forgot about Gongsun Zan.  And this time the Allied forces withdrew immediately, causing heavy losses to the Northern Route Army.

    In both cases, Yuan Shao benefited and his strength developed rapidly.

    There is also Sun Ce, who looks honest on the surface, but is actually very evil on the inside.

    And Yuan Shu thought that he was too honest, so there has always been only one Runan County.

    This time, he must forge ahead with determination, starting with paying homage to the Marquis of Dongyang.

    Liu Ke was not surprised at all by Yuan Shu's visit and asked Guo Jia to arrange the reception.  If Yuan Shu doesn't come, Liu Ke will come.

    Although Yuan Shu only had 50,000 troops left, his strength should not be underestimated.  The Yuan family has been operating in Runan for many years, and its reputation as the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes is not unearned.

    No, Cao Cao was hit with a bloody head here.

    As soon as Yuan Shu came in, he said in a low profile: "Greetings to the Marquis of Dongyang!"

    Liu Ke was not polite to Yuan Shu and said: "Sit down!"

    Yuan Shu sat opposite Liu Ke and observed Liu Ke's expression, which was very gloomy.  Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat. Could he have offended Marquis Dongyang inadvertently?

    "Marquis Dongyang, there is a dispute between us. Now, for the sake of guarding the gate of Yangzhou, can you cancel it?" Yuan Shu said.

    Liu Ke would not refuse either emotionally or rationally, and said: "Okay."

    To be honest, he didn¡¯t take Yuan Shu seriously.  But since Yuan Shu is on his side, he should be given enough respect.

    "This time Runan has helped us a lot. I hereby promise to sell a batch of armaments to Runan afterwards." Liu Kedao.

    Yuan Shu was overjoyed. He had suffered a lot in the past few months.  Cao Cao's new army was only 40,000, but it caused him great trouble.

    "Thank you, Marquis Dongyang!"

    But this compensation is not enough for Yuan Shu's efforts.

      So Yuan Shu hesitated to speak, but Yan Xiang said openly and honestly: "My lord wants half of Jingzhou."

    Wow, what a loud tone.

    Liu Ke likes to negotiate terms directly, but sometimes the terms are too outrageous and he easily gets sidetracked.

    "If we just defeat the main force of Sun Ce's army, it is impossible to force him to hand over half of Jingzhou.  Only by sending troops from Yangzhou to completely capture Jingzhou can it be possible to give half of Jingzhou to Yuan Shu.

    "But how could Yangzhou give in with such great efforts?"

    Therefore, Yan Xiang is completely dreaming, and it is also Yuan Shu's temptation.

    Liu Ke would not agree to this, so he refused cleanly and said:

    "I am very grateful for everything you have done to help Yangzhou. Let's do this. You can develop towards Yuzhou. I will handle the resistance from Cao Cao and Sun Ce."

    That is to say, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are not allowed to intervene in Yuzhou, otherwise Yangzhou will send troops.

    Of course, this is not Liu Ke¡¯s final promise. It also depends on Yuan Shu¡¯s performance in subsequent wars.

    The reason why we are talking about things after victory now is to appease people's hearts.

    "If we don't make it clear now, after the war is won, Liu Ke can only give Yuan Shu a piece of shit, and he can only accept it silently.

    "In the final analysis, Yuan Shu is just a false ally.  In the beginning, he chose to fight to the end out of a battle of spirits.

    Liu Ke paid the benefits because Yuan Shu was helpful to Yangzhou, which was far from the treatment of a true ally.

    As for helping Cao Cao, the main reason is to get rid of the burden of Emperor Xian and gain some reputation from it.  For Yangzhou, it would also be beneficial to help Cao Cao.

    What¡¯s more, Dong Zhuo¡¯s wealth has now brought Yangzhou to a higher level.

    Yan Xiang signaled Yuan Shu to accept Liu Ke's conditions. Yuan Shu nodded and accepted the pie.

    Without the intervention of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, wouldn't Yuzhou be able to capture it?

    Both parties are very satisfied, but the expected pie is not very direct, and they have to work hard to get it.

    "What do you want to say about Cao Cao's army?" Liu Ke suddenly asked, getting some information.

    "Cao Cao's army is nothing more than that. It's just that the new army is more difficult to deal with." Yuan Shu said, since he has defended Runan, he can keep pretending.

    Liu Ke didn¡¯t expose it either.

    The equipment of the new army is provided by Yangzhou, or it is obsolete equipment.  For Liu Ke, it is dispensable, but for the princes, it is an absolute magic weapon.

    Cao Cao's attempt to defeat Yangzhou through the new army is tantamount to wishful thinking.

    Liu Ke asked a few more questions. Yuan Shu looked confused, but Yan Xiang answered in an orderly manner.

    He immediately confirmed several things. First, Cao Cao's army had sufficient food and grass; second, Cao Cao still had fighting spirit; third, Cao Cao had replenished his troops and the number had returned to 200,000

    For Liu Ke, this is all bad news.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
