Chapter 1497: Military strategist Wei Liao
Jizhou, Bohai
At this time, Yuan Shao was leading his civil and military officials five miles out of the city, but they only wanted to welcome one person, Lian Po, who had come thousands of miles to seek refuge.
Yuan Shao and Han Fu have been entangled in Jizhou for many years. With the general situation, they have an absolute advantage, but they are repeatedly defeated by Han Xin on the battlefield. They lose more than they win. They are really afraid of being defeated by Han Xin.
Yuan Shao also knew that the civil and military forces under his command were not weaker than those under Han Fu, but were actually much stronger. It was just that he lacked a top-notch commander, so he was always defeated by Han Xin.
Yuan Shao really didn't have a commander who could match Han Xin. In desperation, he chose to take a different approach and sent assassins to assassinate Han Xin.
Yuan Shao sent out most of his masters and was led by the most trusted Yuan Tiangang. However, when Yuan Tiangang sneaked into Yecheng, he was warned by Han Xin's master, the military strategist Wei Liaozi.
Although the presence of military strategists among hundreds of strategists is not high, the cohesion within the military strategists is not high, and the organization is extremely loose, it does not mean that the military strategists are weak.
Yuan Shao also just found out that Han Xin was a disciple of Wei Liao. He was certainly not ignorant. Now that the military strategists had intervened, it proved that there was someone behind Han Xin's back.
If Han Xin is forcibly assassinated and the tacit understanding created by the Baijia is broken, the entire Baijia will naturally be completely offended. The situation that Zhao will face will probably be even worse, so Yuan Shao asked Yuan Tiangang to give up the task of assassinating Han Xin. .
Seeing that Han Xin could not be defeated in a fight or killed by assassination, Yuan Shao had no choice but to search for talents everywhere, hoping to find a general who could match him.
It's just that the commander-in-chief of an army is different from ordinary talents, because any commander with some ability is constantly tempered on the battlefield, and the prestige gained bit by bit is destined to fail to become a famous general on paper, so there are few real generals. Famous marshals will hide among the people and not serve in official positions.
Yuan Shao's journey to seek generals naturally failed, but Han Xin, who was a **** in military use, was stuck in his throat. He could not unify Jizhou unless he solved it. At this moment, Lian Po came into Yuan Shao's sight.
My younger brother Yuan Shu was defeated and died, and the entire Henan army disappeared completely. As the elder brother, Yuan Shao felt a little sad. After all, Yuan Shu was his biological brother.
Of course, Yuan Shao was still complaining more. He complained that his younger brother Yuan Shu obviously had a good hand. Although he had the support of most of the resources of the Yuan family at the beginning, not only did he not succeed, but he lost all his family wealth. Use these resources to support your strategy in Jizhou.
Although Yuan Shu is dead, the ownership of his subordinates has not yet been determined, and the one Yuan Shao covets the most is Lian Po, who is known as the Yuan family's number one general.
Lian Po was not recruited by Yuan Shu, but was cultivated bit by bit by the Yuan family. However, Yuan Shu was the legitimate son, so Lian Po also deserved to serve Yuan Shu.
In Yuan Shao's view, Lian Po is no worse than Han Xin. If Lian Po comes to deal with Han Xin, he does not need to defeat him. He only needs to contain him, and Yuan Shao is sure to destroy Han Fu.
Yuan, his younger brother, had famous generals such as Lian Po to assist him. After winning many battles in the Central Plains, not only did he not dominate the Central Plains, but his territory became smaller and smaller until he was finally wiped out. It can be said that he was extremely incompetent.
Yuan Shao is confident that he is much stronger than Yuan Shu. Once Yuan Shu dies, the Yuan family will naturally belong to him. And if he gets Lian Po, not to mention becoming king and hegemon, he will never end up like his younger brother.
“Yuanmen’s criminal minister Lian Po, see Zhao Gong.”
“My nephew, Yuan Yao, pays homage to my uncle.”
After seeing Yuan Shao, Lian Po and Yuan Yao hurriedly saluted, while Yuan Shao supported him and said: "My dear nephew, General Lian Po, please get up quickly. The general has worked hard and made great achievements, so why should he be guilty?"
Lian Po and Yuan Yao looked at each other and felt slightly relieved. Yuan Shao's attitude made them feel more at ease.
On the way back to the city, Yuan Shao had various problems with Lian Po, and the relationship between the two people was silently drawn closer.
"General Lian Po, if you lead the army, how confident is the general that you can defeat Han Xin?" Yuan Shao asked seriously.
Lian Po did not arrogantly say anything about victory. Instead, after thinking carefully for a while, he replied: "The last general has actually studied Han Xin. This man has no rules in his military use. If he has the conditions, he can win the battle. You can still win the battle even if you don't create conditions. If you face Han Xin, to be honest, the final general is not sure of victory, but the final general is sure not to be defeated by him. "
Lian Po is undoubtedly a proud man, and even he admires Han Xin so much without ever fighting against him, which shows how powerful Han Xin is.
When Yuan Shao heard what Lian Po said, he was not only not disappointed, but also very satisfied. He had been defeated by Han Xin so many times, so he naturally knew how scary Han Xin was. Lian Po was sure that he would be undefeated against Han Xin. From Yuan Shao's perspective, It's already pretty awesome.
"Well, with the general's words, I will feel relieved."
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, and then ordered seriously: "Lian Po, I have appointed you to be the Commander-in-Chief of our State of Zhao. Do you dare to take on this important task?"
Lian Po couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this. He had just signed up to join him, and before he had made any achievements, Yuan Shao appointed him as the governor. This cannot be described as trust.
“Zhao, no, my lord, Lian Po takes the order.”
Lian Po said with great emotion, and his title of Yuan Shao also changed from Zhao Gong to Lord.
"well."
Yuan Shao laughed again. With Lian Po's help, he would naturally be more confident in his plan to deal with Han Fu.
"Report...to my lord, important information came from Taihang. Emperor Ming agreed to King Qin's marriage proposal."
"What?"
Yuan Shao's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Is that woman Zhang Sheng crazy?"
Regarding Qin Hao's proposal to marry Emperor Ming, basically all the princes believed that this was Qin Hao's strategy. They did not believe that Qin Hao dared to marry Emperor Ming, nor did they believe that Emperor Ming would agree to marry Qin Hao, so they basically had the mentality of watching a show. Waiting for the next article.
“However, Emperor Ming put forward a condition, requiring the King of Qin to go to Taihang in person to propose marriage before agreeing to marry.”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if Qin and Ming really get married, Huguan will naturally fall into the hands of Qin Hao. Then hundreds of thousands of Ming troops can attack Jizhou at any time, and he and Zhao The country will also be exposed to the iron hoof of the Qin army.
“I’m just telling you that Qin Hao’s request for marriage was a conspiracy. Emperor Ming would only agree to it.” Yuan Shao said with a smile.
“That’s right.”
Lian Po nodded in agreement: "It seems that Emperor Ming agreed to propose marriage, but the conditions he proposed are simply impossible to fulfill. King Qin will never go to Taihang to propose marriage in person, unless he is also crazy."
At the same time, most of the other princes also received the news, and they naturally believed that Emperor Ming was trying to force others into trouble, and it was impossible for Qin King Qin Hao to go to Taihang Mountain to propose marriage in person.
