Chapter 568 In case of disaster, everyone withdraws their troops
The most unfortunate consequence was not Chen Jue's expectation, before the people sent by Lu Bu arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao had already sent troops to recruit Yuan Shu. Of course, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had already started to fight over there, and Cao Cao also knew that it was a good time to send troops. But I have to say that Cao Cao actually hopes that the two of them will lose and lose, but he also knows that it is only right to have the same enemy against Yuan Shu, and the others can only be slowly plotted, such as Xuzhou.
Almost everyone in the world knows that Yuan Shu is the emperor, and he is bound to send troops to Cao Mengde, so he can't sit still. Not only because Cao Cao's territory and Yuan Shu's territory are adjacent, but also because Cao Cao just took control of the government and put the emperor in his hands, and when he began to implement his "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes", Yuan Shu over there did not give face, but directly took a jade seal and called the emperor. If Cao Cao even put up with this, then he really wouldn't be that Cao Mengde.
Although Cao Cao has indeed changed a lot compared to when he was young, he himself thinks so. But his nature has not changed much, and Yuan Shu is "self-inflicted, not alive" at this time, no wonder others crusade against him, it can only be said that he brought it on himself. The so-called road is all walked out by yourself, but you can't complain about others-
As for Jiangdong Sun Ce's place, it is not the same as Cao Cao's side.
If you want to say that Shouchun in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou and Xiapi in Xiapi Country in Xuzhou, to be honest, the distance between each of these two places and Huiji is really not very far. In fact, to be precise, Xiapi is more than a hundred miles farther than Shouchun. But Lu Bu was when Yuan Shu mobilized his troops. He had already sent messengers to ride on a fine horse to Huiji. In Shouchun, Sun Cejun's exploration horse did not have that high-quality horse, so it was still the envoy of Lu Bu who arrived first, and soon after, his Sun Ce's exploration horse arrived.
After Sun Ce met the envoy from Xuzhou by Lu Bu, to be honest, he was indeed very angry, after all, he was not a person with a good temper. The so-called "revenge for killing his father, not sharing the sky", although it was not Lu Bu who came here. But as long as everything related to him Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, even if it is just a little, it can actually make Sun Ce very uncalm, no way, other people's personalities are like this. But he really couldn't help it. After all, those who become big things are generally at least very able to control themselves. Have a strong sense of self-control. And Sun Ce is naturally the same.
Sun Ce first sent the envoy away, and sent him back to Xuzhou. After all, he was holding back his anger and not letting himself explode, he was afraid that if he let this messenger stay here again, as soon as he saw the other party, then he would be angry. In this case. Sun Ce knows the Tao and will definitely affect his judgment. Especially if he is about to be affected by his emotions, he hurriedly sent this messenger from Xuzhou away, as soon as he left. Sun Ce, he was indeed calmer and calmer all of a sudden.
And many of Sun Ce's subordinates noticed the situation of their lord, but no one said anything, after all, it was good to be silent at this time, or his lord would not necessarily be the case, after all, his lord's temper was really ......
After the people from Xuzhou left, there was a quarter of an hour, and Sun Ce said to everyone: "What do you think of what the Xuzhou envoy said? ”
As soon as Sun Ce's words fell, a person stood up below, and said directly: "Back to the lord, I think I should send troops!" ”
Sun Ce looked at it like this, and the person who spoke turned out to be Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu in "Jiangdong Erzhang". At this time, he suddenly thought that it seemed that he was from Xuzhou. Of course, Sun Ce didn't think that Zhang Zhao's words had anything to do with him being from Xuzhou, but he still asked Zhang Zhao: "I don't know what Mr. Zibu thinks?" ”
"Jiangdong Erzhang", that is a talent that he spent a lot of effort to invite, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu are good at government affairs, and Zhang Hong and Zhang Zigang are good at planning, these two are Jiangdong talents.
Zhang Zhao smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Gao Jian doesn't dare to be, but the lord please think, now the world is in chaos, but after all, the Han is still the desire of the people, but it is not something that he and the likes of Yuan Highway can change." So from Zhao's point of view, this change is not an overnight effort!
And Yuan Highway and his people dared to 'defy the disapproval of the world' and openly proclaim himself emperor in Shouchun! Although the lord has already spoken out to denounce him, Zhao still believes that this is far from enough. At this time, the lord should gather people and horses, and the soldiers should enter Danyang. It's good to let the people of the world see that there is only one emperor of the Han Dynasty, only in Xudu, and he Yuan Highway is such a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished! ”
After Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't stop nodding, don't look at Zhang Zhao, what he is best at is government affairs, yes, but some of his ideas are indeed meritorious. Look, this really makes sense.
Sun Ce nodded at Zhang Zhao, and then continued to ask, "I don't know what else you think?" ”
After all, Sun Ce can't just listen to Zhang Zhao alone, so he can't listen partially, he must listen to both, he understands this.
At this time, another person stood up below, and said: "Lord, Yu thinks that Danyang should be sent out immediately!" ”
As soon as Sun Ce looked at the person who spoke, a smile immediately hung on the corner of his mouth. The person who spoke was his friend, a native of Shu County, Lujiang, Yangzhou, surnamed Zhou Mingyu and Gongjin, who took refuge in his account when he conquered Jiangdong. Although he is as young as himself, he is definitely a great talent in the world. And he is good at music, everyone in Jiangdong knows that the so-called "song is wrong, Zhou Langgu", it is he Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!
Sun Ce said: "I don't know what Gongjin thinks? ”
Zhou Yu said slowly to everyone, "Now Xu Du Cao Mengde is 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes', and now Yuan Highway openly claims to be the emperor in Shouchun, among the princes in the world, Cao Mengde must be the first to sit still, so I think he is already a soldier into Yangzhou at this time!" ”
When everyone heard it, didn't they, many of them didn't expect this.
I only heard Zhou Yu continue: "Then for Yuan Highway to be such a thief, it is natural that everyone will be punished, so our army naturally cannot be left behind, if it is going to be late." Then there may be nothing left after the worst! ”
After listening to Zhou Yu's words, everyone suddenly realized, isn't that what happened. Can Cao Cao let go of Yuan Shu, it is obviously impossible, then Cao Cao's strength is not comparable to his own. Therefore, he sent troops to Yangzhou to attack his lair on Yuan Highway, Cao Cao must be able to get the biggest and most benefits, and on his own side, Cao Cao eats meat. I guess I'll just drink the soup myself. But if it's really late, I guess I won't even be able to drink the soup after the end.
When Sun Ce heard it, isn't that the case? These counties in Yangzhou must be taken down by themselves, but judging from the current situation. It is estimated that if you want to take them all, it is estimated that it will be impossible for a while. Because of Cao Mengde, the "roadblock".
Now that I have just pacified Jiangdong, it has not been too long. This is about to attack Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was in Yangzhou at this time, occupying a total of three counties, namely Jiujiang, Lujiang and Danyang, and the closest to him was this Danyang. Sun Ce predicted at this time, and estimated that if Cao Cao had already sent troops at this time, then he would be able to take a Danyang County. And those two may not be available.
But even then, you have to go yourself. Otherwise, it is estimated that Danyang will also be occupied by Cao Mengde, and he will not get anything after he reaches the end.
So Sun Ce asked the last time. "Everyone, Cao Mengde made a move, so that our army had to enter Danyang at this time, what do you think of this matter?"
Everyone hurriedly came out and said that they agreed, and it would not work if they didn't agree, if they didn't enter the army, Mao'er would probably be gone, and Danyang County would be gone.
So Sun Ce hurriedly sent troops to send generals, he personally led the troops to the expedition, and took away more than half of his men and horses, just to be able to take Danyang County. As for the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, Sun Ce can be regarded as quite open, if after he takes Danyang, Cao Mengde has not taken these two counties, or one of them, then he will take one of them. If you take it all, then you won't have anything to do with yourself-
After Sun Ce sent the Xuzhou envoy away, he listened to the words of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu and prepared to set off for Danyang with troops. After all, the words of the Xuzhou envoy are indeed correct, and Sun Ce also learned about this from the mouth of the Tanma who returned to Huiji immediately after that. He knew that this was a good time, and Cao Mengde would definitely not let it go, so he didn't have to wait for it now.
Now it is Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and the three parties sent troops to recruit Yuan Shu. Lu Bu is passive, of course, even if Yuan Shu doesn't attack him, he will join Cao Cao and march into Jiujiang. It's just because Yuan Shu was angry that he made the first move.
And Cao Cao and Sun Ce, that is, they chose a relatively good time. After all, although Yuan Shu is not too small, but there are 20,000 less, he still has some strength after all, which is more beneficial to Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
Otherwise, it should be Yuan Shu's bad luck, what kind of people are these three, usually he has a hard time dealing with one, but this time he has to face three people at once. Four to be exact, because Cao Cao personally led the troops to the battle, he also brought Liu Bei with him to attack Jiujiang together.
Yuan Shuke has reached a big bad time, and he originally thought it was very good. Although the world is not yet unified, it is urgent to call yourself the emperor. As a result, he was the emperor, but he didn't expect that he would be angry. Yuan Shu was not convinced, how could he be the emperor, they were all princes, so they dared to attack the emperor as princes?
It's just that Yuan Shu doesn't think about it, how many people have to admit him as the emperor now? The world recognizes him, how many are added together, and the estimated number can be counted.
In this way, in the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, which was a public outrage. People all over the world kept denouncing, and General Zuo, Xuzhou Mu Lu Bu, Han Sikong Cao Cao and Huiji Taishou Sun Ce, the three parties sent troops to crusade against Yuan Shu-
As a result, the troops were just dispatched, and the Quartet fought for more than two months, but it was not in time for the good time, and Huainan was in a major drought and a locust plague.
In fact, not only Huainan, including Yuzhou, Cao Cao's territory is like this, part of Xuzhou, Lu Bu's territory is also, and those counties in Jiangdong, Sun Ce's territory is still. It's just that the three of them are not as serious as Yuan Shu's territory, and several people know that they can't fight anymore, so they all stop fighting and go back to their respective homes.
After all, fighting a war consumes a lot of grain and grass, and of course you have to say that the more dead people die, the less food and grass are consumed. In fact, we can't think like this, in the year of the great drought and locust plague, there will definitely be no benefit at all in fighting a war. Because at that time, what people feared most was definitely not the great drought or locust plague, but the plague.
Although the ancients had limited medical conditions and did not study the plague so deeply, whether it was Yuan Shu or Cao Cao, they all knew that if they continued to fight like this at this time, it would be easy for the plague to break out. Especially in the summer and autumn season, so really, no one dares to act rashly anymore, and directly withdraw troops and go home. Unless you have to fight, or no one dares to joke about it.
