Chapter 1488 This is my sister-in-law
Chapter 1486: This is my sister-in-law
80,000 Ming troops, plus 40,000 Henan troops, the power in Zhu Yuanzhang''s hands was enough to defend the two Huaihe areas.
Faced with the 120,000 Ming army, relying solely on the strength of Zhao Kuangyin''s family, even if all the Henan army in Yuzhou were dispatched, it was still not enough to seize food from the tiger''s mouth.
Now that things have come to this point, even if Zhao Kuangyin is reluctant, he can only accept this result for the time being. After all, it is just a waste of money and food to stay.
But just giving up the Jianghuai granary, Zhao Kuangyin couldn''t swallow his anger, so he withdrew his troops to Yuzhou on the surface, but secretly he was actively contacting Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Sun Jian in Jiangdong to see if he could form a coalition of princes to jointly attack Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this point, the battle for the Jianghuai River has come to an end for the time being, and Zhu Yuanzhang has become the biggest winner in this battle.
After this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang not only occupied the granary of the two Huaihe Rivers, but also incorporated 40,000 Henan troops, and had become the largest prince in the Central Plains.
As for Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao, they both gained more or less benefits in this battle.
For Zhao Kuangyin, Lian Po was the biggest gain of his trip, and he also incorporated 10,000 Henan troops.
Cao Cao gained less, and he only surrendered three or four thousand Henan troops. Of course, Cao Cao didn''t care about this. After all, he didn''t have much ambitions about the two Huaihe Rivers, and he didn''t want Zhu Yuanzhang to occupy the Jianghuai River.
While Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin both helped Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was still easily destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang. In this regard, it can only be said that Yuan Shu was destroyed.
With Yuan Shu''s defeat, the Central Plains region also entered a three-legged situation from all directions to a three-legged situation.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Mengde and Zhao Kuangyin occupied three corners of the Central Plains respectively, among which Zhu Yuanzhang had the strongest comprehensive strength, which naturally caused Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao to share the same hatred.
Zhao Kuangyin''s idea of ??the coalition forces in attacking the Ming Dynasty was not wrong. After all, in terms of Zhu Yuanzhang''s current threat, it was inevitable that the Wei and Song dynasties would win the joint efforts against the Ming Dynasty. As for whether Sun Wu from Jiangdong would join in, it depends on how much profit the Song and Wei families were willing to share.
However, at this critical moment of joint debate, Zhao Kuangyin, who was as wise as Zhao Kuangyin, also did stupid things.
Zhao Kuangyin knew Lian Po''s power well, and thought that he was almost forced to death by Lian Po at the beginning. Now Lian Po is under his command, so he naturally wanted to make full use of Lian Po''s talents.
Zhao Kuangyin also knew that although Lian Po had defected to him, he was actually unwilling to choose him because no one could vote.
His conspiracy to plot against Lian Po had already made Lian Po feel aggrieved against him, so if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to completely subdue Lian Po, he had to resolve the resentment in Lian Po''s heart towards him.
Zhao Kuangyin gave Lian Po a very high reward, and all kinds of treasures were rewarded continuously, and there were also three days, one small banquet every five days.
Under Zhao Kuangyin''s series of favors, Lian Po did make him feel a lot better. If this happened in the past, it would be only a matter of time before Lian Po''s complete return.
But at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin did something stupid like Cao Cao, that is, he slept with Yuan Shu''s widow, Yuan Yao''s mother, and Feng.
Cao Cao had completely offended Li Yan and Li Guo because he forced himself to accept Gao Lanying and Hong Niangzi, and forced them to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Cao Cao regret it afterwards.
The situation between Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao was a little different. Many years ago, he met Mrs. Feng with Yuan Shu and fell in love with Mrs. Feng, who was so beautiful in the world, at first sight. Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to pursue Mrs. Feng, but before he could take action, Yuan Shu relied on his power to force Mrs. Feng, and Zhao Kuangyin later married Yuan Shu''s sister, and Mrs. Feng became his sister-in-law.
The marriage between Zhao Kuangyin and the Yuan family daughter was just a family marriage. The person he liked the most was Mrs. Feng.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin and Mrs. Yuan have long since been married, but they have long lost any passion. Touching her body seems to touch myself. Now the former dream lover is right in front of me, how can Zhao Kuangyin be able to bear it?
When Zhao Pu saw that Mrs. Feng was also among the Yuan family, he felt a vague premonition in his heart. He privately reminded Zhao Kuangyin many times, asking him not to have a love relationship with his children and put the overall situation first.
Zhao Kuangyin naturally understood what Zhao Pu meant and kept guaranteeing: This is my sister-in-law. But he said one thing, but he did another thing behind his back.
Zhao Kuangyin did not suppress his desires. One day he was drunk, so he ignored Mrs. Feng''s wishes and forced his love with him with the help of alcohol, but Yuan Yao discovered it.
The Yuan family was very kind to Zhao Kuangyin, but he betrayed the Yuan family with ulterior motives, which made Yuan Yao already hate Zhao Kuangyin, and now even his biological mother was insulted, which made Yuan Yao wish he could swallow Zhao Kuangyin alive.
The grief and angry Yuan Yao drew his sword and tried to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin was born in military martial arts 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 damaged, but Yuan Yao was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back. However, this incident also became a big deal and reached Lian Po''s ears, and Zhao Kuangyin was fortunately forced to accept Mrs. Feng.
Lian Po made a change in Zhao Kuangyin, but as a result, this happened so quickly, and naturally he was very disappointed with Zhao Kuangyin.
At this moment, Yuan Shao from the north sent Yuan Tiangang to contact him and expressed his willingness to take in and protect Lian Po''s remnants and his younger 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, and relying on him is not considered a treason.
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 fine if Lian Po was the only one, but a large group of people under him could not have taken them with him.
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 borrow the passage.
Lian Po was also a little moved when he heard Yuan Tiangang say this. Zhao Kuangyin, who was so slutty, really disappointed him, but he did not easily betray Zhao Kuangyin because of this. After all, it was not easy to leave, and the person who really made Lian Po decide to leave was Yuan Shoucheng.
Yuan Shoucheng was the guardian of the Yuan family and a master of the grandmaster. When Yuan Shu conspired to rebel, Yuan Shoucheng intended to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, but was seriously injured by Luo Shixin.
Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tiangang to win over Lian Po, but in fact he also wooed Yuan Shoucheng. If he was willing to surrender, most of Yuan Shu''s people would naturally have no objection, and Yuan Shao would also become the new head of the Yuan family.
In the end, under the persuasion of the crowd and the cry of the young master Yuan Yao, Lian Po, along with Yuan Yao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu, Yuan Zongdi, Yuan Shoucheng and other Yuan family members, as well as most of the senior executives of the Henan army such as Ji Ling and their families, secretly left Yuzhou and prepared to go north to surrender to Yuan Shao.
