Chapter 1064: The Black Nest
Black Nest.
A place less than two days away from Yecheng.
This is the place where Zhang Fei is stationed in the army.
It is also the place where Liu Bei and Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses confronted each other.
The reason why it was chosen here as the location of the garrison. First, it is relatively close to the location of Jizhou.
Second, it is also because there is a Yellow River between Jizhou and Yanzhou as a dividing line, and Wuchao happens to be next to the Yellow River.
A bridge over the Yellow River was built here in the early years.
It gradually evolved into a ferry port.
If you want to go from Yanzhou to Jizhou, passing through Wuchao is the fastest place.
The place gradually became a military stronghold.
Historically, it has also been a somewhat famous place.
Not far from him is the famous Guandu.
The battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in history took place here.
And this place of Wuchao is also the turning point of victory and defeat in the battle of Guandu.
Yuan Shao hoarded the grain and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of troops here.
But because of Xu You's defection, he defected to Cao Cao.
Let Cao Cao seize the opportunity and send a force to attack Wuchao, burning the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops.
It was precisely because of this battle that Yuan Shao vomited blood and died.
A generation of northern hegemons officially withdrew from the stage of history.
Cao Cao also emerged at this time and became a generation of heroes.
Of course, the current history is no longer the history that Liu Zheng knows.
But the place of the black nest still has a huge role.
It may also be an important turning point in changing the pattern of the North.
Zhao Yun took the information sent back by his spies, walked briskly in a few steps, and quickly walked towards Zhang Fei's camp.
Don't look at it now, Liu Bei himself is just a general's position.
But he values his two younger brothers very much.
One is a hussar general, who is only one level below the Great General.
The other is the general of the chariot cavalry.
Both were the mainstays of the Han Dynasty. Shouldering the important mission of reviving the Han Dynasty.
Guan Yu sat in Hanzhong and originally planned to directly attack Yizhou, but later because of Liu Zheng's agitation, Liu Bei was not able to take Yizhou directly, but joined forces with Liu Zhang of Yizhou.
It can be regarded as achieving his goal, but Guan Yu still did not leave Hanzhong, after all, he had to stay in Hanzhong and defend Guan Yu and Sun Jian and others.
As for Yanzhou in the east, Liu Bei himself could not be present in person, so he could only order his third brother Zhang Fei to guard it.
Don't look at Zhang Fei as a little straightforward, but by Zhang Fei's side, there is also a strategist.
This person's name is Xu Shu, and the character is straight.
Xu Shu, in history, is also a famous person.
not only helped Liu Bei, recommended Zhuge on the horse, but also left a good reputation in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
Among the top strategists of the Three Kingdoms period, there must be a place for him.
Speaking of which, Xu Shu's experience is also colorful, and there are some similarities with Dian Wei's experience.
Xu Shu's real name is Xu Fu, and he is a disciple of a poor family. Like the green forest heroes, fighting on the rivers and lakes.
In the sixth year of Zhongping, Xu Shu killed someone because of revenge for his friend, and later used Tubai to avoid the government's investigation. Powdered on his face, he fled with his hair scattered, but was still caught by the officials.
The official asked Xu Shu what his name was, and Xu Shu didn't say a word, so the official tied Xu Shu to a pillar to prepare his limbs. He understood his appearance, and beat the drum and ordered the people in the surrounding market to come out and identify him, but they did not dare to say that they knew this person.
Later, Xu Shu's henchmen came together to rescue Xu Shu. Xu Shu was very grateful, in fact, he realized that he was a scumbag, so he stopped dancing with guns and sticks, and changed his usual temperament to study.
This is why there was the later Xu Shu.
After Xu Shu studied for a few years, it coincided with the chaos in Jingzhou.
He had no choice but to go north to take refuge and seek stability.
In this way, I returned to Yanzhou.
At that time, it happened that Liu Bei was recruiting talents in Yanzhou, and Xu Shu also took refuge under Liu Bei.
It's just that when he first joined Liu Bei's command, Xu Shu did not get Liu Bei's trust, but just left Xu Shu by Zhang Fei's side.
Be a military advisor to Zhang Fei, and guard the land of Yanzhou together to guard against Liu Zheng.
At this time, in Zhang Fei's military camp, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Xu Shu and others were deliberating.
The door curtain was lifted, and Zhao Yun hurriedly walked in from outside.
When I saw that everyone was an old acquaintance, there was nothing raw.
Immediately opened his mouth and said a word to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the fight has finally started on the Hejian County side!"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yun's heart and face were filled with a little smile.
He seemed very happy.
After all, the war in Hejian County is together, which means that the soldiers and horses he is stationed here in Yanzhou can finally be dispatched.
As long as he takes advantage of the battle in Hejian County and leads people to attack Jizhou, he will definitely be able to play an unexpected role.
Although it is impossible to seize the entire Jizhou in an instant, it is no problem to take the opportunity to fight back a few cities, one or two counties.
In this way, it slowly moved forward little by little, encroaching on the territory under Liu Zheng's command.
As soon as Zhao Yun's news was spoken, several people present quickly looked at Zhao Yun.
His face changed slightly.
Xu Shu was the first to react.
immediately got up and walked a few steps towards Zhao Yun at the door.
"What General Zilong said, but is it true?"
"How can this be fake? The spies I stayed near Lecheng County a few days ago quickly stepped up and sent back the news from there. ”
"The news is true. My people also told me that they deliberately stayed in Lecheng County for a long time, and saw that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses outside the city had begun to use siege equipment to attack the city, I guess that Liu Zheng should not wait for his army to arrive, and began to want to attack Lecheng County. ”
"Now is the best time for us to attack Jizhou."
Zhao Yun is indeed very resentful of Liu Zheng and Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, plus Zhao Yun himself is a member of Changshan Kingdom.
Changshan is next to Zhongshan, and Zhao Yun is also from Jizhou.
He still has a lot of determination and confidence in recovering Jizhou.
It is necessary to return the people of his hometown to the rule of the Han Dynasty.
When Xu Shu heard Zhao Yun be so sure, he got up and walked two steps, then turned his head to look at Zhang Fei who was in the main seat.
Zhang Fei's temper was relatively short-tempered, and as soon as he heard Zhao Yun's words, he immediately became anxious.
"Okay, then fight, Grandpa has already seen that Liu Zheng is not pleasing to the eye, that guy has bullied us for too long, this opportunity should not be missed, Brother Zilong, you immediately take it to Yanjin to surprise the attack, wait for us to cross the river, and go straight to Yecheng."
Zhang Fei is like this, he doesn't have many opinions, and after knowing some situations, he is easy to be impulsive.
This is also why Liu Bei asked Xu Chu and Xu Shu to assist him here.
The purpose is to dissuade Zhang Fei.
After Xu Shu heard Zhang Fei's words, he also had a headache.
Speak up and stop it immediately.
