Although he had taken down Pill Sun County this time and Yuan Yao had a reliable source of military strength, he still couldn't be careless.
Old Yuan had a lousy hand. If he wanted to win, he had to make no mistakes. If he was not careful, he would lose the whole game.
Although they would lose more than half of their forces this time and could basically deal with Sun Ce of River East, Yuan Yao's strength would also be greatly reduced.
With Cao Cao in the north, Lu Bu in the east, and Liu Biao in the west, as long as Yuan Yao's strength was greatly reduced, he would instantly become the enemy of the world.
Old Yuan didn't know anything else, but he was the only existence in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty.
Jiang Dong had to be taken down, but it had to be nibbled away step by step. He had to rope in a few more people, share the cake with everyone, and then make them spit it out.
After Yuan Yao dismissed his subordinates, he received Hua Xin, who had come from Yuzhang.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Hua Xin bowed respectfully to Yuan Yao.
"Sir, please don't be polite."
Yuan Yao did not put on any airs. He was in urgent need of talent now.
"May I know why Your Highness summoned this old man here?”
"I want to invite Mister to be an official. What do you think?”
Yuan Yao went straight to the point.
"Hehe, this old man is still the prefect of Yuzhang in name, a registered official of the Great Han Imperial Court.”
Hua Xin neither agreed nor refused.
"Haha! Teacher has already called me Your Highness, yet he still acknowledged the 'fake dynasty' that my father established.”
Yuan Yao felt that it was a little tricky. Hua Xin didn't want Taishi Ci to use a scumbag's tactic.
Scholars were knowledgeable and not easy to deceive.
However, Hua Xin had worked for Old Yuan for a few years in her early years, and Old Yuan had helped her a little.
"Now that Your Highness has taken over Pill Sun County, I wonder what your next step is?”
When Yuan Yao heard this, he felt that there was a chance. This was a test for him.
In today's world, not only do the monarch choose his subjects, but the subjects also choose the monarch.
If he chose the wrong boss, there would definitely be no way out. Moreover, in this chaotic world, if he chose the wrong boss, he would be in danger of dying.
"I don't have any plans for the next step. I'll just recruit soldiers and expand the army. If my guess is correct, Cao Cao is about to attack Xu Prefecture.”
Yuan Yao had the advantage of being a transmigrator and knew that Cao Cao would definitely attack Xu Prefecture this year.
After fusing with the soul, regardless of whether it was his previous life or this life, his memories were very clear.
"Does Your Highness have the confidence to defeat Cao Cao?”
Hua Xin continued to ask.
"Of course, putting aside Lu Bu's bravery, Yuan Shao would definitely not want to see Cao Cao take over Xuzhou.”
"Since that's the case, I'll entrust this old man's crippled body to Your Highness.”
Hua Xin kowtowed to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao was overjoyed and quickly helped Hua Xin up.
"With Mister's help, great things can be expected!”
After the Jiangdong incident, this time, it could be said that they had gained a lot. The general had obtained Taishi Ci, the civil minister had obtained Hua Xin, and the sister had obtained Sun Shangxiang.
Although Sun Shangxiang was still stubbornly resisting, it was not a problem. When she returned to Shouchun, even if Sun Shangxiang was unwilling, someone would come to persuade her and force her to marry Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao finally returned to his base camp after being away from Shouchun for more than a month.
"Old Yuan! Old Yuan! Where did he go?"
After Yuan Yao returned, he immediately came to find Yuan Shu. He hadn't quarreled for a month, so he was quite unused to it.
"You're angering your father when you come back! Why don't you die outside!"
Old Yuan came out of the bedroom, cursing and pulling up his pants.
"Yo! It seems that I'm disturbing you from showing filial piety to my grandfather. However, my grandfather has been lying in the graveyard for many years, so you don't have to work so hard.”
Yuan Yao gloated.
"Shut up. If your grandfather knew that you're such a bastard now, he would be furious.”
"Hehe! If my grandfather was here, you wouldn't dare to claim the title of emperor.”
"Isn't that nonsense! Our family has four generations and three dukes, the number one aristocratic family in the world.”
Yuan Shu did not refute.
"Then why are you still calling yourself emperor?"
Yuan Yao asked curiously. Since Yuan Shu could figure out the key points, why did he have to become an emperor?
"Hehe! Awesome! It's so good to be the emperor!"
Yuan Shu said cheerfully.
"Tsk! You're happy, but I still have to run around to clean up your mess.”
Yuan Yao rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
Just as the father and son were chatting, another person walked out from the back of the palace. It was Liu Bei's ex-wife, Mrs. Gan.
There was still a lingering charm on her face, which was fair and red.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but sigh at this woman's ability to let go. She had just finished her business with Old Yuan, and now she actually dared to come out and meet people.
If this was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be so embarrassed that she would hide in her room and not dare to come out.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Congratulations on your victory.”
"Tsk tsk!"
Yuan Yao ignored Mrs. Gan and looked at Old Yuan instead.
This woman was really doted on. Old Yuan didn't even hide anything from her. It seemed that he had to find an opponent for this woman.
" What? What are you looking at?!"
Old Yuan asked when he saw his son's thoughtful gaze.
"Hah! It's nothing. I've caught another stunner for you this time!”
Yuan Yao said mysteriously.
"Oh? Where is he?"
Old Yuan became excited at the mention of women.
"Bring him up."
Yuan Yao shouted towards the outside of the hall.
As soon as he finished speaking, two young eunuchs walked in with Madam Wu.
"Haha! Good boy, your father didn't dote on you in vain!"
Yuan Shu recognized her as Sun Jian's wife at a glance. Sun Jian had been with Yuan Shu for so many years, so he naturally recognized the wives of his subordinates.
"How is it? Sun Ce defected back then. Now, you can directly f * ck his mother.”
"Get lost! Get lost! Why are you so vulgar? I'm a refined Yuan Gonglu. How could I have a son like you? Go, go, go! I'm annoyed just looking at you!"
Yuan Shu pushed and shoved Yuan Yao out.
"Men, close the door of the bedroom for me. I won't see anyone today. If anyone dares to barge in, directly throw them out!”
Yuan Shu ordered the people in the palace.
"Tsk tsk! I've never seen anyone so eager."
Yuan Yao cursed and left.
Returning to his own Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, Yuan Yao had nothing to do, so he went to have some fun.
.........................
Jiangdong, Kuaiji County.
Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and the others had already met up.
"Yuan Yao has already retreated back to Shouchun and left behind twenty thousand troops in Danyang County. Cai Mao and Huang Zu entered Yuzhang and have about thirty thousand troops under them.
After this battle, we only have 20,000 people left. It's impossible to take back the two counties for the time being.
However, the good news was that the other party did not occupy Wu County. Perhaps it was because they did not have enough troops. After all, the situation in Lianghuai was changing rapidly, and they needed enough troops to deal with it.”
Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and the others sat together and analyzed the current situation.
"Since Wu County hasn't been lost, let's go back! Those damned aristocratic families were too merciful to them back then! That's why we have today's disaster!"
Sun Ce gritted his teeth.
Compared to Yuan Yao, Cai Mao, and the others, Sun Ce hated the aristocratic families even more. The former were enemies, while the latter were villains who stabbed them in the back.
Zhou Yu wanted to persuade him, but he chose to keep his mouth shut.
The Sun Clan was already gone, and the residence had been completely massacred by the members of the aristocratic families. Other than Sun Quan who had escaped, there was no one left alive.
At this time, no matter who persuaded Sun Ce, it was impossible to appease the anger in his heart.
When Sun Ce led his troops back to Wu County, the people of the aristocratic families panicked because they realized that Yuan Yao had already escaped. They no longer had a backer.
At this moment, these people finally understood that they had been used and abandoned after being used.
However, it was too late. Sun Ce once again launched a bloody revenge and began to slaughter a large number of aristocratic families.
This time, Sun Ce was furious. Regardless of whether they were involved in the rebellion, Sun Ce would kill them all.
He was already tired of dealing with this group of people. He was prepared to kill them all and end everything once and for all.
This undoubtedly aroused the fierce resistance of the aristocratic families. All the aristocratic families in Wu County were forced to unite and start resisting Sun Ce.
Moreover, after Sun Ce's strength was greatly reduced, the number of private soldiers of the aristocratic families was not inferior to Sun Ce's.
Yuan Yao's plan was undoubtedly successful. It caused Sun Ce and the aristocratic families to constantly fight each other. Then, after both sides suffered heavy losses, he could easily take over River East without any future troubles.
