After the peaceful liberation of Liyang, the two small towns of Fuling and Quanjiao near Liyang were sent to surrender at the same time. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the entire Jiujiang County of Yangzhou was also the most elite grain-producing area and population center in Huainan.

, finally all fell into the clutches of Deputy Director Tao, and all the forces of Little Yuan Sangong in Huainan were expelled to Lujiang County. Anfeng, Anfeng and Yangquan counties in the north of Lujiang were also successively conquered by Zang Ba, Song Xian, Qin

Xuzhou partial divisions led by Generals Yi and Xie Yan defeated or captured it, and compressed the sphere of influence of Little Yuan Sangong to the south of Lujiang River. They desperately hoped that Da Yuan Sangong would come forward to mediate the war and force the Xuzhou army to return the captured Huainan.

Land city.

While little Yuan Sangong was still daydreaming, Deputy Director Tao, who had moved to Liyang City, finally received the good news from big Yuan Sangong - in view of the fact that Boss Cao used "fraud" to rob the Han people.

Regarding the Emperor Xian, Grand Duke Yuan was in urgent need of Xuzhou troops to support him and coerced Cao Lao to hand over Han Xian Emperor, so he very smartly and wisely rejected Huainan envoy Shu Shao's request to come forward to coerce Xuzhou troops to return Huainan's land and cities, and decided to continue the war in Huainan.

We remain neutral among them and do not support or intimidate any of them with force!

Grand Duke Yuan Sangong is not stupid. He knew that forcing Deputy Director Tao to return the land and city of Huainan to Little Yuan Sangong at this time would not only result in the loss of Xuzhou's support in the emperor's move of the capital, but might also force Deputy Director Tao to Cao Cao.

On the boss's side - given that Deputy Director Tao and Boss Cao have the same thick-faced and sinister characters, they will definitely abandon their past feud and hook up together to commit crime!

Of course, it's not all good news. Although Sangong Da Yuan refused to force the Xuzhou army to return the Huainan land and city, since his half-brother lowered his head and begged, Sangong Da Yuan couldn't say anything.

No, at the same time, if the Xuzhou army is too strong, it will definitely not be in line with the strategic interests of Sangong of Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Sangong of Yuan Dynasty listened to the suggestions of counselors Guo Tu and Xun Chen and decided to send an envoy to go south on his behalf to Huainan.

Persuaded and facilitated the Tao and Yuan families to start truce negotiations, so that the Tao and Yuan families could end the war in Huainan through negotiation.

Sangong of Yuan Dynasty decided to promote the armistice negotiations between Xuzhou and Huainan for three purposes. The first is to expand his prestige and influence. The second is to gain practical benefits from it - that is, the legendary jade seal, and the third is to properly care for his fellow comrades.

As a good half-brother, you should properly limit the expansion of the unworthy son-in-law's strength. This will prevent the unworthy son-in-law from becoming too big and difficult to control in the future.

Everyone has their own interests and plans. After Sangong of Yuan Dynasty finalized this decision, his two good sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang also immediately saw the profit opportunities, so Yuan Tan immediately recommended Xin Ping, his close confidant, to take over.

As the mediator, Yuan Shang did not hesitate to push Feng Ji, his close friend, to Sangong Yuan, and once volunteered to be the mediator himself. But fortunately, Sangong Yuan finally made a wiser decision this time.

It was decided to send Xu You, the most neutral person under his command, to go south to serve as the mediator. He did not choose the hard-core anti-Tao faction or the hard-core pro-Tao faction under his command. This was also the point where Deputy Director Tao was most dissatisfied with his father-in-law. If the Great Yuan Sangong sent him

If the mediator is a member of Yuan Shang's party, then Deputy Director Tao will definitely be able to rip off little Yuan Sangong at the negotiation table to the point where he has to send his underwear to a pawn shop!

At the same time that Deputy Director Tao received this important news, Chen Deng sent an urgent report from the rear, saying that Xu You had passed through Yanzhou and arrived in Pengcheng. It would take less than a few days to arrive at the Huainan front line to meet Tao Ying.

Therefore, Tao Ying did not dare to neglect, and immediately convened a group of counselors to discuss countermeasures and discuss whether to accept the mediation of Great Yuan Sangong and start truce negotiations with Little Yuan Sangong, and what were the minimum terms of the truce negotiation?

"My lord, Su believes that we should accept Yuan Benchu's mediation and start truce negotiations with Yuan Shu." When it came time to decide on the strategic choice, the cool-headed Lu Su finally had a chance to show off his strengths and rushed to be the first to say: "Then

There are two reasons. First, judging from the current situation, our army must maintain a good relationship with Yuan Shao's army in order to deter Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan and ensure the security of Xuzhou's northern line. We cannot rudely refuse Yuan Shao's truce negotiations; second, our army currently

Yuan Shu cannot be completely eradicated, and Liu Yao has gained power in Jiangdong in vain. Therefore, in Su's opinion, our army should accept Yuan Shao's mediation and negotiate a truce with Yuan Shu."

"That's what I mean." Tao Ying nodded and said thoughtfully: "Although our army now has the ability and opportunity to completely eliminate Yuan Shu north of the Yangtze River, our current water surface strength is too weak, and we have not done a good job.

To prepare for the war of taking over the entire Jiangdong, eradicating Yuan Shu at this time will only benefit Liu Yao in vain, so I plan to accept Yuan Shao's mediation, negotiate a truce with Yuan Shu, use negotiation means to force Yuan Shu to hand over the entire Lujiang County, and let Yuan Shu cross the river to fight with Liu Yao.

Dog bites dog, this is in the best interest of our army. I don’t know what the general will is, but do you have any better ideas?”

After that, Tao Ying looked around at everyone present, waiting for everyone to express their opinions. Jia Xu and Chen Ying nodded together, expressing their agreement with Tao Ying's decision. Yang Hong and Yang Changshi, who had defected from Yuan Sangong, unexpectedly had some objections.

, said hesitantly: "My lord, in my opinion, the things brought in the negotiation field are not guaranteed to be captured, and if Yuan Shu, the common man, is forced to surrender through negotiation, Yuan Shu, the common man, is allowed to voluntarily withdraw across the Yangtze River——

The countless gold, silver and jewels Yuan Shu brought to Shucheng from Shouchun have all been wasted, so in my opinion, it is better to continue the attack with force."

Tao Ying smiled ambiguously, and everyone in Xuzhou also smiled ambiguously. Yang Changshi, who had recently made a lot of money from the aftermath of the war, rarely blushed, and quickly explained: "My lord, military advisor, Wen

Mr. He, I am definitely not saying this because I am responsible for checking and confiscating the spoils of war. The key is that I know Yuan Shu’s personality too well. With his character of saving face and suffering, I am afraid that it is unlikely that he will accept armistice negotiations, let alone negotiate.

At that time, we agreed to give up the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, so I believe that my lord should not put all his hopes in the negotiation field, and it is best to be prepared to use force."

"Mr. Zhongming's words are very kind. My lord, please be prepared with both hands." Liu Ye, who had just joined Taoying's lackey camp, also said cautiously: "Before, Yuan Shu surrendered to Yuan Shao and begged for mercy. He begged Yuan Shao to mediate the war in Huainan. The biggest thing is

The purpose is not to seek armistice negotiations, but to hope that Yuan Shao will come forward to suppress our army and force our army to return all the captured land and cities in Huainan. Now, although Yuan Shao has sent Xu You as an envoy to go south to mediate, he is unwilling to come forward on behalf of Yuan Shu to force our army to return the land.

, I just want the war in Huainan to end with a negotiated truce. Yuan Shu is greatly disappointed. I am afraid it will not be so easy for him to agree to negotiate a truce with our army."

Speaking of this, Liu Ye added, "And even if Yuan Shu is willing to sit down and negotiate, I am afraid he will put forward various unreasonable conditions during the negotiation, and he will never agree to hand over the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, so the lord finally

It is better to be prepared with both hands. It would be best if we could get the Lujiang River through negotiation. If we can't, we must not waste our weapons and equipment. When the time comes to end the war in Huainan by force, we will not be caught off guard and temporarily deploy troops and generals."

"Mr. Zhongming's words this time are indeed very reasonable, and Mr. Ziyang's analysis is also very reasonable. Our army must not place all its hopes on negotiations and must be prepared for both." Tao Ying nodded and thought about it for a moment.

Later, Tao Ying decided: "Let's do it this way. Our army will continue to march towards the Lujiang River as originally planned. While marching to the gates of Shu City, we will start truce negotiations with Yuan Shu during the march and use of troops. We will fight and negotiate at the same time. We will use both grace and power."

, forcing Yuan Shu to surrender, even if the negotiation fails, he can use force to drive Yuan Shu to cross the river."

"My lord, let's fight and talk at the same time. Can Xu You, sent by Yuan Shao, agree?" Lu Su reminded: "Previously, Ma Rixi, the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty, issued an order to mediate the Panhe Battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Both armies of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were defeated.

First, negotiate after a truce, demarcate the territory, and then withdraw their troops. The lord now wants to fight Yuan Shu while negotiating with him. I'm afraid Xu You won't agree? And even if Xu You agrees, Yuan Shu will definitely not agree, and maybe he will.

Use this as an excuse to reject Yuan Shao's mediation, put all the blame on our army, and make Yuan Shao feel that my lord, you do not respect your father-in-law enough."

"This matter is easy to handle." Tao Ying's tone was understated, and he turned to Yang Hong next to him and ordered: "Mr. Zhongming, take some people north to Shouchun tomorrow to greet Xu You on my behalf, and be as respectful to him as possible.

You can use the gold, silver and jewelry in stock in Shouchun as you wish, try to buy him over to me, let him speak for us on behalf of Yuan Shao in the negotiations, and let him represent Yuan Shao to accept the negotiation terms that we negotiate while fighting."

"Is this possible? Can Yuan Shaojun's important minister Xu You be bought over by bribery?"

Lu Su, Chen Ying and others were deeply suspicious, and were extremely worried about Tao Ying's entrustment. Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Tao and Yang Changshi replied in unison: "Absolutely no problem, I have already known Xu You's temper."

I understand, one loves money and the other loves face, and the worst is greed, so it’s easy to buy him over!”

After speaking in unison, Deputy Director Tao and Yang Changshi looked at each other in surprise, and then laughed happily together. One praised Mr. Zhongming for being my confidant, while the other flattered the Lord, praising him for his insight into people's hearts and his ability to grasp the weaknesses of human nature.

Jia Xu, Lu Su, Chen Ying and others murmured in their stomachs: "No wonder they are so similar, they are really the same species!"

"One more thing." After thinking about it for a while, Tao Ying told Yang Changshi: "Mr. Zhongming, while you are in contact with Xu You, you must try to let Xu You know that I really want Yuan Shu's life.

You want to kill Yuan Shu on the battlefield north of the Yangtze River and solve Xuzhou’s southern front problem once and for all, do you understand?”

"Understood." Yang Changshi nodded vigorously and said with a wicked smile: "It's just like selling vegetables at the market. If you don't ask for a higher price when you start shouting, how can you sell the vegetables at a high price? Lord, please rest assured, this matter is guaranteed.

On your behalf!"

……………………

In response to the intervention of Sangong Dayuan, the countermeasure of fighting and talking was finalized. The next day, Yang Hong led a team to the north to respectfully greet the envoy of Sangong Dayuan. Tao Ying did not delay and talked with Liu

After Yao hurriedly finalized the alliance to continue to jointly kill Xiao Yuan Sangong, Tao Ying left an army to guard Liyang, and soon led the main force of Xuzhou to march westward, heading towards the south of Lujiang River where Xiao Yuan Sangong was entrenched.

End the Huainan War that has been going on for several months.

Considering that force must be used to drive Xiao Yuan Sangong across the river when necessary, Tao Ying led the Xuzhou army to march westward to Lujiang this time. He did not take the shortcut to Xiang'an and Linhu, but chose to go further away and led the main force back first.

Then he took the official road south to Lujiang and arrived at Shu County. The generals in Xuzhou were puzzled by Tao Ying's decision, which was a waste of time and military supplies. They came to Tao Ying one after another to ask for advice. Tao Ying

He replied very frankly: "We can't take the road to Xiang'an and Linhu because the two cities of Linhu and Xiang'an are stuck on the road where Yuan Shu Pi Sheng Jingfu retreated to Ruxukou. If we capture these two cities

. Yuan Shu's common men will fight us to the death if they have no way to retreat, and we will gain advantage over Liu Yao in vain, so we can only return to Hefei first, and then attack Shucheng from the front, forcing Yuan Shu's common men to retreat across the Yangtze River."

Detouring through Hefei and then heading south to Lujiang, Deputy Director Tao had an unexpected gain. That is, Sun Shangxiang, who was almost sick in Hefei, clamored to join Tao Ying in the southward expedition - the little girl was betrayed by evil intentions

The second brother stayed in the Xuzhou army as a hostage. After just a little initial embarrassment and restraint, she immediately revealed the nature of her future tigress. Not only did she make a lot of noise in the yard where she was imprisoned every three days, she also ate

He got more than anyone else, which made Deputy Director Tao Tie Gongji couldn't help but ask in distress, "When you volunteered to be a hostage, didn't you say that you ate very little? One meal of roasted venison plus eight

It’s just a yellow finch. Is this also called eating too little?”

"Because I'm bored, so I have to eat to relieve my boredom." Sun Shangxiang answered confidently. He also pulled Tao Ying's sleeve and begged, "Tao Shijun, please take me to Lujiang with you. I won't be bored when I get outside.

, I don’t eat much. Also, I will go to Lujiang with you, and I can make tea and water for you on the way, make your bed and take care of you."

"There's no need to make the bed and fold the quilt. It's getting colder. If you don't let me warm your bed and cover your feet, it'll be fine." Of course, Deputy Director Tao would not be fooled by a little girl, and asked suspiciously: "You

I'm asking you to go to Lujiang. Could it be that you want to escape?"

"How can I, a seven-year-old girl, run away?" Sun Shangxiang cried out, wiping the corners of his eyes and said aggrievedly: "I also miss my mother and brother, but how can I, a little girl, run away? If I don't tell you,

Besides, I can't even cross the Yangtze River without an adult to take me with me." Seeing Xiao Luoli's cute and aggrieved expression, Deputy Director Tao, who respects the elderly and loves the young, felt soft-hearted and finally agreed to take Xiao Luoli south to the Lujiang River.

, in exchange for Xiao Luoli’s cheers, applause and innocent smile.

It took six days to return to Hefei. After replenishing grain and military supplies in Hefei, the Xuzhou army went south to the Lujiang River again and walked for another five days. When it was less than 60 miles away from Shucheng where Xiao Yuan Sangong was trapped, they went to meet Xuzhou.

You's Yang Changshi sent a quick horse to deliver the news, saying that he had successfully welcomed Xu You, and that everything in the current plan was going smoothly. Xu You had already accepted the bribe from the Xuzhou army with a smile on his face. Xu You should be informed.

He had also been informed of the reserve price, and he would soon be able to bring Xu You down to meet Tao Ying. In addition, Yang Changshi also sent soldiers to deliver a special person to Tao Ying - Xiao Yuan Sangong sent to Da Yuan

Huainan Army Commander Shi Shushao begged for mercy and help.

After being brought in front of Tao Ying, Shu Shao remained silent. No matter how tempted Tao Ying was, he refused to say a word, let alone agreed to be an insider for the Xuzhou Army like his predecessor Yang Hongchangshi.

In the end, Tao Ying had no choice but to pretend and shout: "It doesn't matter if you don't speak. You already know the attitude of my father-in-law Benchugong. I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll go back and tell Yuan Shu that if he still

A man must look like a man. He would rather die standing than live on his knees. Send troops as soon as possible to fight me to the death! Go to Shucheng and bring back my father-in-law's reply to make Yuan Shu cry!"

Shu Shao still didn't speak. He just offered his hand to Tao Ying, then turned around and strode away, heading south towards Shu City with his head held high. However, not long after sending Shu Shao away, Deputy Director Tao regretted his mess.

After cheating money, Xi Zuo, the Xuzhou army lurking in Shu County, risked his life to send an urgent military message - Liu Biao of Jingzhou, for some unknown reason, actually agreed to Yuan Shu's request for help and sent his subordinate Liu Pan and General Huang.

Huang She, the son of the ancestor, led an army of 20,000 people down the river and rushed to Lujiang to reinforce Little Yuan Sangong. They have now arrived in Songyang. Yuan Shu deliberately made the news public in order to boost the morale of the defenders, so the city of Lujiang is now full of jubilation.

At the same time, Xuzhou Xizuo also learned about this confidential military information.

"Liu Biao, you took the wrong medicine?!" After hearing the news, Deputy Director Tao, who was only one step away from seizing the entire territory of Huainan, suddenly became furious and roared on his horse, "We in Xuzhou and

You, Jingzhou, have no grievances in the past and have no grievances in recent days. You actually sent troops to rescue Yuan Shu and wanted to start a war with us. Did I provoke you to provoke you?!"

"Hee hee." A young and happy laughter came from behind his ears. Deputy Director Tao turned around angrily and saw that it was Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Luoli who stuck their heads out of the carriage and snickered. Tao Ying looked at him with an angry face.
