Yuan Shu can be said to be a typical example of repeated defeats. After being ravaged by Cao Cao, he recovered his strength within a year or two.
Now Runan has another 80,000 troops to waste.
After defeating the Allied forces, Liu Ke promised to help Yuan Shu attack Yuzhou, provided that Yuan Shu was willing to pay.
After Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian, some areas in Yuzhou recognized Emperor Xian's status and directly took their cities to join Cao Cao, including the Yingchuan area.
Because the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Min, died of an illness, Yuzhou was in chaos. Some people directly defected to Cao Cao for stability.
Of course, there are also those who disobey Cao Cao.
A typical representative among them is Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji was once a subordinate of Dong Zhuo. After Li Jue and Guo Si occupied Chang'an, Zhang Ji was squeezed out and simply came to Yuzhou with his troops.
The good times did not last long. Zhang Ji attacked Rangcheng because his army was short of food and died in the middle of the attack. After his death, the army was taken over by his nephew Zhang Xiu.
After that, Zhang Xiu occupied Wancheng and became a prince in Yuzhou.
Zhang Xiu also only had 80,000 troops, but Yuan Shu decided to ask the Yangzhou Army to go out for insurance.
"Marquis Dongyang, I really miss the time when we fought side by side." Yuan Shu mentioned old things again.
Liu Ke didn¡¯t want to reveal Yuan Shu¡¯s scars, so he said directly: ¡°If you have anything to do, just tell me.¡±
Yuan Shu knew that Liu Ke liked to go straight, so he was not polite and said: "Marquis Dongyang, I want to attack Yuzhou, but I don't have enough troops. I need Yangzhou's help."
This time Yuan Shu came in person, which can be said to be full of sincerity. He used to be very arrogant and always sent his younger brothers on missions.
"How many troops do you plan to hire?" Liu Kedao said.
"An army of one hundred thousand is best." Yuan Shu said shamelessly.
"You also know that Yangzhou's army is very powerful in combat and consumes a lot of logistics. Sending out an army of 100,000 people will give you half of Yuzhou for free, and the price is not low." Liu Kedao.
"How many are needed?" Yuan Shu said.
"Thirty million gold." Liu Kedao.
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment. He had been robbed by Cao Cao once before. How could his wealth be restored so quickly?
But the Yangzhou Army is indeed worth the price.
"What if there are only 20,000 troops?" Yuan Shu asked weakly.
"Five million gold, but some pensions are calculated separately." Liu Kedao.
Yuan Shu did a mental calculation and felt that the price was about the same, so he agreed and said, "I will go back and prepare five million gold."
Yuan Shu came and went as fast as he came, with great wind and fire.
It seems that he is determined to win the land of Yuzhou.
Liu Ke can get five million gold by dispatching 20,000 troops, which is considered a small profit.
Regarding this matter, Liu Ke held a meeting in Tiance Mansion.
The Tiance Mansion includes the generals of the main battle corps, and the supreme commander of the Tiance Mansion is Liu Ke himself.
"Yuan Shu wants to borrow troops to conquer Yuzhou. This is something he has promised before. So, which of you wants to go to war?" Liu Ke asked.
When he heard that he was fighting alongside Yuan Shu, Lu Bu immediately lost his mind. This is definitely not a good job, having to take care of allies.
What¡¯s more, it¡¯s an ally like Yuan Shu.
¡°Brother, can you leave it to us?¡± Dian Wei Maosui recommended himself.
Dian Wei was the first peerless general to follow Liu Ke, and the two were sworn brothers.
Liu Ke is very familiar with Dian Wei, and if he is allowed to lead the army alone, his ability is still a little bit behind. Of course, this difference is compared to Zhao Yun and others.
"However, there are not many troops sent out this time, so Dian Wei can be given some training.
"Have you thought about it? Being the commander-in-chief of an army is different from when you follow me on an expedition. You have to consider all aspects of the issue." Liu Kedao.
"Brother, we know." Dian Wei said.
Having said this, Liu Ke would be inhumane if he refused again.
And when everyone saw Dian Wei coming out, they had no intention of continuing to fight.
Therefore, it became a certainty that Dian Wei would send 20,000 troops on behalf of Yangzhou.
"Although this battle is also for Yangzhou, the nature is different, so I do not plan to force the mission to any army." Liu Kedao.
"Then how to recruit people?" Dian Wei asked in surprise.
"Adopting the voluntary principle, that is, selecting 20,000 people from the main battle corps to fight." Liu Kedao.
"This method is good." Dian Wei agreed.
"Afterwards, I will take out two hundredTwenty thousand people were rewarded with gold. "Liu Kedao.
Everyone took a breath, surprised by Liu Ke's generosity.
"These are mercenaries. Yuan Shu pays and we contribute, but there will always be various surprises in war. In such a battle, we in Yangzhou will benefit very little, so we can only use high bounties to make them The soldiers volunteered to join the war," Liu Kedao said.
"Lord, wouldn't it be like we will help anyone who gives us money?" Huang Zhong said.
"Don't worry. There are not many princes in the world now. If you want to be hired, you have no chance. Besides, we will not do anything that violates morality. We only fight and do not bully the people." Liu Kedao.
Since you are a prince, you will inevitably participate in wars. To become a soldier, you must also have the awareness to participate in war.
After the meeting, Liu Ke left Dian Wei alone and said a few words to him.
"Evil comes, this is just an exercise. If nothing can be done, just lead the troops back and don't give up Yuan Shu's money." Liu Kedao.
¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry, we will not embarrass you!¡± Dian Wei said confidently.
"Take good care of yourself and don't get into any fights of temper," Liu Kedao said.
"Yes." Dian Wei said.
Liu Ke didn¡¯t want his mother-in-law to do anything wrong, so he asked Dian Wei to select soldiers in the camp.
To be on the safe side, the deputy for this expedition will be Gao Shun.
Gao Shun¡¯s trapped camp is the most stable unit in Yangzhou. It has always made great contributions to Yangzhou, but recently there have been fewer opportunities to perform.
Therefore, it is just right to arrange Gao Shun as Dian Wei's deputy, and the two of them get along well.
After Dian Wei came to the army, he posted a notice and there was an endless stream of people signing up.
They are all willing to fight hard for the sake of military exploits, not to mention the good rewards.
It only took three days for Dian Wei to select the people he needed.
After seven days of integration training, the 20,000 people came from different units and must get to know each other.
Gao Shun is carrying out these detailed tasks, while Dian Wei is responsible for communicating with the Ministry of War on logistical matters.
In the past, Dian Wei was most troubled by these trivial matters, but now as the commander-in-chief of an army, he must do it himself.
Liu Ke had warned about this matter, and the Ministry of War was very efficient and did not embarrass Dian Wei.
After everything was prepared, Dian Wei led his army to Runan to join Yuan Shu.
In this expedition, Yuan Shu spent all his money and went out with all his troops, leaving only a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people in his hometown of Runan.
With Yangzhou as his backer, Yuan Shu can indeed sit back and relax.
"Master Yuan, do you have any plans for this battle?" Gao Shun suddenly asked.
This question made Yuan Shu confused. Where did the plan come from?
How good it is to push all the way.
"Our biggest enemy this time is Zhang Xiu, and the rest are just a mob." Yuan Shu said.
Seeing this, Gao Shun said no more, just as he expected. He asked one more question, just to clarify the situation between the two parties.
So, Yuan Shu led an army of 100,000 to attack Yuzhou, which was claimed to be 200,000. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
