Chapter 1486: This is my sister-in-law
80,000 Ming troops, plus 40,000 Yu troops, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength is enough to defend the two Huaihe areas.
Facing the 120,000 Ming army, with the strength of Zhao Kuangyin and his family alone, even if all the Henan troops in Yuzhou were dispatched, it would still not be enough to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
At this point, no matter how reluctant Zhao Kuangyin was, he could only accept the result for the time being. After all, staying here would only be a waste of money and food.
But Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear the bad breath of abandoning the Jianghuai granary, so he ostensibly withdrew his troops and returned to Yuzhou, but secretly he was actively contacting Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Sun Jian of Jiangdong to see if he could form a coalition of princes to jointly attack Zhu Yuanzhang. .
At this point, the battle for Jianghuai came to an end for the time being, and Zhu Yuanzhang became the biggest winner in this battle.
After this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang not only occupied the Lianghuai granary, but also recruited 40,000 Yu troops, becoming the most powerful prince in the Central Plains.
As for Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao, they both benefited more or less from this battle.
For Zhao Kuangyin, Lian Po was the biggest gain of his trip. In addition, he also recruited 10,000 Yu troops.
Cao Cao's gains were relatively small. He only surrendered three or four thousand Yu troops. Of course, Cao Cao didn't care about this. After all, he didn't have much ambition for the two Huaihe Rivers. He sent troops to help Yuan Shu just because he didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to occupy the Jianghuai River.
Even though Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin both helped Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was still easily destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang. This can only be said to be the death of Yuan Shu.
With the defeat of Yuan Shu, the Central Plains region has also entered a situation where four parties are competing for supremacy and a three-legged confrontation.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Mengde, and Zhao Kuangyin respectively occupied three corners of the Central Plains. Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang's overall strength was the strongest, and this naturally caused Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao to share the same hatred.
Zhao Kuangyin's idea of allied forces to defeat the Ming Dynasty is not wrong. After all, considering Zhu Yuanzhang's current threat level, it is inevitable that the Wei and Song Dynasties will unite to fight against the Ming Dynasty. As for whether Sun Wu from Jiangdong will also join in, it depends on the Song and Wei Dynasties. How much benefit are you willing to share?
However, at this critical moment of joint discussion, wise men such as Zhao Kuangyin also did stupid things.
Zhao Kuangyin knew the power of Lian Po very well. He thought that he was almost forced to death by Lian Po at the beginning. Now that Lian Po is under his command, he naturally wants to make full use of Lian Po's talents.
Zhao Kuangyin also knew that although Lian Po had surrendered to him, he was actually unwilling to do so. He chose him because there was no one else to turn to.
His plot to plot against Lian Po had already made Lian Po have a grudge against him. Therefore, if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to completely conquer Lian Po, he had to resolve Lian Po's resentment against him.
Zhao Kuangyin gave Lian Po a very high reward, and he was constantly rewarded with various treasures, and there was a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days.
Under Zhao Kuangyin's series of favors, Lian Po's view of him has indeed changed a lot. If things go on like this, it will only be a matter of time before Lian Po completely returns to his heart.
But at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin did the same stupid thing as Cao Cao, that is, he slept with Yuan Shu's widow, Yuan Yao's mother, Feng.
At the beginning, Cao Cao completely offended Li Yan and Li Guo by coercing Gao Lanying and Hong Niangzi, forcing them to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang. Cao Cao regretted it afterwards.
Zhao Kuangyin's situation is somewhat different from Cao Cao's. He and Yuan Shu met Mrs. Feng many years ago and fell in love with the beautiful Mrs. Feng at first sight. Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to pursue Mrs. Feng, but before he could take action, Yuan Shu relied on his power to **** Mrs. Feng. Zhao Kuangyin later married Yuan Shu's sister, and Mrs. Feng became his sister-in-law.
The marriage between Zhao Kuangyin and the daughter of the Yuan family was nothing more than a family marriage. The person he liked the most in his heart had always been Mrs. Feng.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin and Mrs. Yuan have been married for many years and have long lost any passion. Touching her body feels like touching myself. But now the lover of his dreams is right in front of him. How can Zhao Kuangyin be able to endure it.
When Zhao Pu saw that Mrs. Feng was also among the Yuan family, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He reminded Zhao Kuangyin many times in private, asking him not to care about the affection between his children and to put the overall situation first.
Zhao Kuangyin naturally understood what Zhao Pu meant, and kept promising: This is my sister-in-law. But they say one thing with their mouths, but do another thing behind their backs.
Zhao Kuangyin did not suppress his desire. One day he was very drunk, so he ignored Mrs. Feng's wishes and forced her to have **** with her through alcohol, but Yuan Yao discovered her.
The Yuan family was very kind to Zhao Kuangyin, but he betrayed the Yuan family with ulterior motives. This made Yuan Yao hate Zhao Kuangyin. Now that even his biological mother was insulted, Yuan Yao wanted to eat Zhao Kuangyin alive.
The grief-stricken Yuan Yao directly drew his sword and wanted to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin had a military background after all. Although he was unarmed, he was not something that a young man like Yuan Yao could kill.
After a fight, Zhao Kuangyin was not injured at all, but Yuan Yao was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back. However, the matter became a big deal and spread to Lian Po's ears, and Zhao Kuangyin fortunately accepted Mrs. Feng.
Lian Po had just changed his mind about Zhao Kuangyin, but when this happened so quickly, he was naturally disappointed with Zhao Kuangyin.
At this time, Yuan Shao from the north sent Yuan Tiangang to contact him, expressing his willingness to take in and protect Lian Po's remnant army and his brother's family.
In fact, for Lian Po, Yuan Shao is the best choice. After all, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu's brother and a member of the Yuan family. Taking refuge with him is not considered a betrayal.
But Lian Po didn't even consider Yuan Shao from the beginning, just because he was in Yuzhou, thousands of miles away from Jizhou. It would be okay if Lian Po was the only one, but with a large group of his men, it was impossible. Take them together.
But Yuan Tiangang told Lian Po that as long as he was willing to go to Jizhou, Yuan Shao would take care of the princes along the way, and Cao Cao had agreed to let him use the way.
Lian Po was a little moved when he heard what Yuan Tiangang said. The lustful and stupid Zhao Kuangyin really disappointed him, but he did not abandon Zhao Kuangyin easily because of this. After all, it was not easy to leave, and what really made him It was Yuan Shoucheng who Lian Po decided to leave.
Yuan Shoucheng is the guardian of the Yuan family and a master at the grand master level. When Yuan Shu plotted a rebellion, Yuan Shoucheng tried to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, but was seriously injured by Luo Shixin.
Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tiangang to win over Lian Po, which was actually to win over Yuan Shoucheng. If he was willing to join Lian Po, most of Yuan Shu's men would naturally have no objections, and Yuan Shao would become the new head of the Yuan family.
In the end, under the persuasion of his subordinates and the cry of his young master Yuan Yao, Lian Po took Yuan Yao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu, Yuan Zongdi, Yuan Shoucheng and other Yuan family members, as well as Ji Ling and other Henan army leaders. Some senior officials and their families secretly left Yuzhou and prepared to go north to join Yuan Shao.
