Chapter 560 Yuan Shang Enters the Mountain
Yuan Shang prepared supplies, more than a thousand large trucks. In the past few days, the snow had melted away. He and Wang Yan decided to set off today and escort the mountain.
"I and the two generals fell in love with each other at first sight. Although it has only been more than a month since I went up the mountain last time, I still have a lot of concern. Now I can see you again, Yuan is so happy."
Yuan Shang had long regarded Xu Huang and Qianzhao as his own people. He tried to protect Bai Bo's army in front of his father. After that, he repeatedly gave himself a face, and this time he destroyed the other two major villages, which made Yuan Shang regard the two more important than anyone else.
"My general said that the three young men and one handsome man is talented and elegant. You will be the lord of Jizhou in the future. If someone else is replaced, I, Bai Bojun, will be the first to be dissatisfied."
Wang Yan's words simply reached Yuan Shang's heart.
"Haha, well said, it's worthwhile to cultivate you with all my strength."
He smiled without any scruples at this time, and was completely different from the humble and kind look in front of Yuan Shao.
As soon as the two of them left the city gate, they suddenly called Yuan Shang in a voice.
"San Young Master, where are you going?"
Yuan Shang turned his head and looked at it, then laughed: "It turned out to be Zhengnan. You are sharing your worries for my father. How do you think of coming back to visit me today?"
After saying that, he said to Wang Yan: "This is Shen Pei, Shen Zhengnan. He and Feng Ji are both my confidant ministers in Jizhou."
Afterwards, Wang Yan was introduced to Shen Pei.
Shen Pei came over quickly: "A few months ago, the lord was defeated in Shangdang, so he ordered me to recruit new recruits in Hejian. Now he has collected 20,000 troops and thousands of carts of food and grass. I came to inform the lord that after the spring begins, I will send people to Yecheng."
"Oh? Zhengnan is indeed capable of doing things." Yuan Shang praised.
Shen Pei looked at the large convoy behind him: "It's cold and cold, where is the third young master going?"
"Oh, I had an agreement with Xu Huang, Baibo's army. If he could unify the Taihang Mountains by his own strength, he would be my Jizhou ally. Jizhou would provide food, grass and weapons, thinking that it would be the capital to attack Liu He next year. He had sent Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan's heads. His father was very happy and ordered me to be fully responsible for this matter. Therefore, he took advantage of the sunshine these days to walk up the mountain."
"Oh? The lord really entrusted such an important task to the young master?" Shen Pei was a little surprised.
Yuan Shang raised his head very high: "This is naturally. My father has praised me many times for the Baibo army. Now, not only will he appoint me to allied with him, but he also allows me to participate in the Bingzhou next year. Baibo army is truly my noble person."
Shen Pei was also very pleased when he heard this: "The lord has always loved the young master, and he only regretted that the young master had never been respected and was difficult to participate in military operations. Now the young master is keen to recognize people and can seize such a good opportunity. It seems that when the young master is not by his side, the young master is very diligent and thought about learning. In this way, my Jizhou is hopeful."
Yuan Shang became more and more proud when he heard this: "General Xu said that it would be no problem for him and me to take down Bingzhou next year. At that time, the two brothers will take many years to guide Qing and Secluded Land, and I will destroy Bingzhou in one fell swoop. I can't wait to see how ugly the two brothers' faces are."
Shen Pei's face suddenly froze: "Xu Huang said? Why, isn't this the young master planning himself?"
Yuan Shang looked indifferent: "Hey, what's the difference? I'll tell you, the reason why I took the opportunity to send iced sour plum soup to participate in the discussion and convinced my father to cooperate with Bai Bojun was such a clever plan, and even what I said..."
"Ahem... Third Young Master, it's getting late. This matter has been a long story, and it's probably going to take a delay. Why don't you and I go out as soon as possible? When we come back, we'll talk to Mr. Shen Pei again?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang looked up at the sun and slapped his head suddenly: "Oh, I haven't seen Zhengnan for a long time, and I almost forgot about the serious matters. Please stay in the city for a few more days. When this young master comes back, I will tell you in detail, haha."
"Oh, young master..."
Shen Pei wanted to call Yuan Shang, but Wang Yan urged him again, and Yuan Shang ignored him and waved his whip and continued on his way.
Shen Pei looked very worried. He thought about it all the time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"The third young master has no opinion on weekdays, and his knowledge and strategy are not even more important. He was able to say that day and shocked everyone. Now when he was about to explain it in detail to me, why did Wang Yan hurriedly stop him? Could it be that there was something that could not be told?"
He pondered for a while, and suddenly his expression was shocked: "Xu Huang and Qian Zhao, now they have 100,000 powerful troops in Taihang Mountains. How can they be satisfied with the Yanmen? His letters to his lord are false, but in fact, they secretly sent a letter to the third prince to support him as the lord of Jizhou, in exchange for him to speak a lot in front of his lord. He could not say that even the three princes had a lot of talks that day were taught by him in his letter. It was good, so it must be like this!"
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt: "Now it seems that Bai Bo's army has become an ally of the third prince, but in fact, it is to make the third prince their inner support in Jizhou and ask for my Jizhou. Next year, the third prince will represent my Jizhou and guide Bingzhou together with him. If things are really done, he will suddenly attack him. The third prince is not guarding him at all. Will the troops and horses of our Jizhou be wiped out? Will Bingzhou become his belongings?"
"No, I must report to the lord immediately!"
Shen Pei figured this out and immediately ran towards the city gate.
However, after just a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.
"No... If I can't convince my lord, I will inevitably be punished by my lord. If I can convince my lord, the third prince will be criticized. In this way, the eldest prince and the second prince will take the opportunity to attack and compete for the lord's heir in the future, will the third prince have no chance of winning? No, I have to suppress this matter for the time being and discuss it with him after the lord's return. Humph, since Xu Huang has this plan, if I can use this plan, then I will capture Bingzhou, kill him and swallow his subordinates, then my Jizhou will be in a strong state, and the third prince will succeed to the throne in the future."
He made up his mind, suppressed his fear and walked into the city gate.
In the Taihang Mountains, the Baibo Army's camp has been rebuilt and repaired. Outside the village gate, Xu Huang and Qian Zhao went out to greet each other in person. Soon after, Yuan Shang slowly came.
"Two generals, it's been a long time."
As soon as Yuan Shang saw the two, he rode his horse and walked forward quickly.
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted: "I haven't seen each other for more than a month, and the third young master is becoming more and more heroic. I think such a young hero is even better than Liu He in the past."
"Haha, it's well said, what's the point of just Liu He? Sooner or later, will you die at your hands?"
Yuan Shang laughed loudly. He looked up at the cottage and said, "The two generals are becoming more powerful, and this cottage is much more powerful than that day."
"Why do you want the young master to praise it in the mountains and fields? I have worked hard for you in the distance. We have prepared a reception banquet. Please."
The two of them personally led Yuan Shang into the village gate. They saw a row of warriors standing on each side, each holding a trumpet. When the three of them walked over, dozens of trumpets were blown at the same time, with a loud sound and soaring into the sky.
"Miao, I don't want this ceremonial guard to be like this in this village."
This situation made Yuan Shang look happy.
But he didn't notice that Xu Huang and Qian Zhao, who were walking behind him, looked at each other, and then a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths of a plan.
