Chapter 285: The Second Year of Xingping
The territory in hand flew like this, and no one would be reconciled, and Cao Cao was naturally the same. On the one hand, Cao Hong was allowed to attack the good success of Xiapi, and on the other hand, he was also ready to fight against Xiapi.
Liu Bei heard the news in Qingzhou, smiled slightly, and thought to himself, Mengde, Mengde, let you play tricks with me to Zhanlangya. Is Xuzhou so contentious? So he ordered Pingyuan Guan Yu to retreat to Ande County. Yuan Shao was in Jizhou, and he heard that Liu Bei had withdrawn from the Gaotang Dynasty, and he knew the elegance when he heard the string song. So he sent the general Chun Yuqiong out of Ganling, crossed the desecration and besieged Boping City.
Yuan Shao surrounded Boping, and said in his heart, Xuande, Xuande, we still have a tacit understanding, do you want to consider dividing Mengde's Yanzhou together?
Boping was besieged, and the superior Dongjun Taishou Zang Hong would be on the front line in Xuzhou again, and the guards would send people to other cities to report on the one hand, and defend the county seat on the other. Cao Cao was so relieved of the north, and even transferred Zang Hong to Xuzhou as a lobbyist in order to say that he would surrender to Xuzhou, that was because Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were hurting each other before he left, and Guan Yu, the general under Liu Bei, had been fighting in Gaotang, posing as if he was going to attack Jizhou at any time, so that Yuan Shao was under great pressure and did not dare to move lightly. Cao Cao thought that there should be nothing wrong with this formation, so he wanted to fight quickly and return to Yanzhou after solving Xuzhou. As a result, Xuzhou was busy for a long time, and he only got two counties, and the three counties were taken by his enemy Yuan Shu. How willing Cao Cao was and was about to move his troops, the Yanzhou emergency report arrived.
Cao Cao looked at it, and he didn't understand that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were working together to pull back themselves. Yuan Shao is just that, he has already torn his face anyway. Xuande, Cao Cao wanted to write a letter to accuse a few words, and then thought about it, he accounted for half of Xuzhou, you know, Tao Qian Lao'er had a will to let Xuzhou Wenwu serve Liu Bei as the mainstay. It's not good to blame yourself first, and then blame Xuande. So he put it away.
In the past few nights, Cao Cao couldn't sleep over and over. Zang Hong had rushed to Dongjun to preside over the overall situation in the starry night, and there were still generals in Yanzhou, but Cao Cao was still worried. At the beginning, he and Gongsun Chan had a deep grudge, and the main force was on the edge of Youzhou to prevent Gongsun Chan, so he must be out of the division to contain himself, and the troops must not be much, so don't worry too much. Cao Cao was worried about Liu Bei's change in attitude.
When Qingzhou needed development and Yanzhou also needed development, the two chose to huddle together for warmth. Now that he has gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, Xuande has also gained new Liaodong. Is this nominal alliance of offense and defense no longer sustainable, even if only in name?
Cao Cao is conceited and ambitious, ambitious, courageous and proud, every time in the dead of night, he counts the princes of the world, and only Liu Bei can make him admire one or two. is because the two cherish each other, and their friendship over the years has been good. Now that he has entered Xuzhou, Xuande has retreated in the plains, so that Yuan Shao has no worries about going south to Yanzhou. Cao Cao knew that the honeymoon period between the two was over. The only difference is that the two families have not completely torn their faces and raised troops against each other.
Cao Cao also regretted it in his heart, but Zhenrong invited himself to Xuzhou, with such a good opportunity, who in the world would let it go? I want to correct the sea, set things right, how can I do it without land in my hands. Xuande, I know you want Xuzhou too, but when it comes to the meat in my mouth, I won't spit it out. If you really want territory, each according to his ability. It's just that in the future, the security level of Qingzhou will be greatly improved. Alas.
Chun Yuqiong fought against the two armies of Zang Hong, the Taishou of Dongjun, in Dongjun, while Cao Cao marched into Xiapi and fought against Sun Jian. At the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu each sent officials to the territory they had occupied, counted the Ding households, fields, and then completed the digestion.
Winter has arrived, the weather is getting colder, and when the first snow falls, the world suddenly becomes calm. Bring a rare peace to this troubled world.
Qingzhou Pastoral Mansion. Liu Bei's backyard was in a mess, and several of his own children and the two brothers and sisters of Eleven Lang Liu Ke's family were playing together, and somehow a fight broke out. The two daughters beat the four younger brothers and cried. Liu Bei couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it. Luo Yeke went to teach his daughter a lesson, and Lu Heng was next to him and blamed Liu Bei: "Husband, look at it, what did you get used to them in the past?" β
The two daughters are well-behaved and lovely, smart and clever, and in Liu Bei's place, they are naturally a little more favored than their sons. Luo Yeke made them cry, and suddenly turned his head, and saw Liu Bei, so he shouted with a crying voice. Then the little golden bean fell down with a bang.
When Liu Bei saw his baby daughter shed tears, he hurriedly put aside Lu Min, stepped forward to hug the two little heads, and coaxed them for a long time to stop their tears. Liu Bei saw Lu Heng and Luo Yeke standing aside, her cherry lips curled slightly, looking at him with a smile, she couldn't help but turn pale, and put on the posture of a strict father, and asked: "Lin'er, Yao'er, you two are the oldest, you are the elder sister, didn't your father teach you, my sister has to take care of and protect my younger brother." Why are you still beating your brother today? β
Liu Lin and Liu Yao hung their little heads and said nothing. I guess I'm a little embarrassed. Liu Bei didn't say much, the children's world is simple and simple. After today's fight, maybe I'll forget about it later. Just shouted a few small ones together, and taught a few words that were repeated in the same old tune, the elder sister should take care of the younger brother, and the younger brother should listen to the elder sister. And then it didn't matter.
At the end of the second year of Xingping, it is coming in a flash. This year, old ministers such as Taifu Ma Riyan, famous general Zhu Jun, and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness one after another. The important ministers of the first emperor gradually withered. And those who shine with unique brilliance in this era are no longer the ministers of the court, but the princes of Lianzhou and counties.
This year, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought at the boundary bridge. In this year, Liu Bei went east to Goguryeo and destroyed his country. In this year, Cao Cao went south to Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu and Liu Miao fought for Yangzhou. In this year, LΓΌ Bu and Yu Fuluo attacked Bingzhou, and led their troops to wander for several years in the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and died in the Jieshan Mountain. According to the old desire of the Huns, he was buried in the wilderness of the boundary mountain, and then he was set up in the brother of Fu Luo, and the kitchen spring was single. Bingzhou is the homeland of the Xiongnu, and it is also the land of the Southern Xiongnu herding horses.
Yu Fuluo has done a lot of unreliable things in his life. But the loyalty to the Han Dynasty is still worthy of recognition. The strength and majesty of the Han Dynasty have always been deeply rooted in his mind, even in his blood. So much so that during the rebellion of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty in history, his grandson even removed the name of the Xiongnu and replaced it with his own Han name Liu Yuan, established himself in Bingzhou and established the Han State, pursued the Han Emperor, and set up the temples of the emperors below the Han Gaozu to worship.
Since Yu Fuluo died, Hu Chuquan Shan Yu was unwilling to give Lu Bu his life. And state, Youzhou, Liangzhou, where can he not go? Why do you have to accompany Lu Bu to bring down the city of Bingzhou. As long as we Huns have horses and pastures, we can settle down anywhere in the world, only the eldest brother has been in the Han people for a long time and his head is confused, so he has to get involved with Lu Bu.
Hu Chuquan wants to break up with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu can't do anything. just kept Xun You, and under Xun You's persuasion, let Hu Chuquan leave the Han people, young and old, to himself. Hu Chuquan didn't care, he had to lead his troops back to China, there was still a long way to go, he didn't have the time and patience to let these Han people follow him slowly, and it was better to leave it to Lu Bu. Without these burdens, you can ride lightly and set off.
Lu Bu already had few soldiers, and Hu Chuquan was even weaker when he left. Before, I was thinking about conquering and merging the state as the emperor of the soil. As a result, he only won half of Shangdang County with all his desperate efforts, and the Huguan world was dangerous, and the defenders could not attack it without leaving the city. Thinking of sending troops from Sheep's Head Mountain and attacking Tai, the original county. As a result, Yu Furo died in the battle on the boundary mountain outside the city of Jiexiu. Because of his own annexation of the state, Yuan Shao's reinforcements were also endless. Their own troops were not replenished, but they fought one by one and died another. Lu Bu now regrets dying.
If you want to fight again, the allies ran away. If you want to retreat, there are enemies on all sides, and you don't know where to retreat. When Hu Chuquan left, according to Lu Bu's temper, he wanted to eat black. Later, thinking about the tribal characteristics of the Huns, he abandoned this idea. If he really wants to kill Huchuquan, the Huns will set up a single Yu in minutes, and then they will either fight with themselves or run away thousands of miles. Anyway, I can't get a good place.
So Lu Bu asked Xun You. Xun You thought for a while and said: "General Lu, you can't fight anymore, now our army is short of food and grass, and the sergeants are tired of it, so it is better to negotiate peace with the senior cadres, and the troops on both sides will be dismissed." β
Lu Bu sighed: "At this time and that time, I am afraid that the senior cadres will see that I am weak and will refuse." β
Xun You said: "Otherwise, Yuan Benchu was in Jizhou, and he had a bad relationship with Gongsun Zhan, if there is something in the state, he will not be able to take care of it." If we abandon our baggage and take the trail to the West River, then Wuyuan, Shangjun, and Yunzhong will have no danger to defend. And the state will be chaotic. It is Gao Yuancai who will inevitably allow the general to dismiss the army. β
Lu Bu listened to it, so he appointed Xun You as a messenger to talk about senior cadres. Before leaving, Lu Bu took Xun You's hands very sincerely and said, "Gongda, I and the lives of the soldiers will be entrusted to you." β
Xun Yu returned the salute solemnly and said, "You must not have a mission." β
Although Lu Bu is cunning and short-sighted, he is mercenary, but he is still really good to the people around him. Like Xun You's family, he took good care of them. Xun You thought to himself, in addition to Lu Bu's shortcomings, he still has his merits. This time I went to be a lobbyist, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
Xun You confidently went to see Gao Gan. He was full of confidence in the peace talks. It's not just because Gao Gan is a native of Chen, he is a native of Yingchuan and can be called half of the township party. What's more, because he is a son of the Xun family, Xun Yu Xun Gongda, not to mention, he also has an uncle Xun Chen (Xun Yu's brother) who worked hard for Yuan Shao in Jizhou.
Gao Gan was in Huguan and was surprised when he heard that Xun You was visiting. There has been no news for many years, and he thought that Xun You had died in the chaos. So he greeted him in person, and after the two of them exchanged salutes, Gao Gan asked Xun Yu about his experience over the years. I heard that Xun You abandoned the official and fled, but was robbed in the mountains by Yu Fuluo for many years, and later met Lu Bu, and after currently serving under Lu Bu's account, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Gongda's experience is strange, unheard of." β
Xun You sighed: "I am destined to have this calamity, and this number of days is also." β
So he explained the meaning again. When Gao Gan heard this, he seemed to be smiling, and said: "Yu Fuluo and Lu Bu attacked me very urgently before, and I didn't see Gongda coming. Now that Furrow is dead, Gongda will come. It must be that Lu Bu is weak, and he can't survive his army for a long time, so he sent Gongda to come to me. Yes and no? β
Gao Gan smiled again: "Lu Bu, the jackal also, conceited his courage and abused the Quartet. I will capture them now. β
Xun You looked indifferent and said: "Yuancai, I am trapped in Lu Bu's camp and don't want to use it, so I haven't offered a plan for many years. Today, in order to repay his kindness to protect my family for many years, it is also the righteousness of my friendship with Yuancai. Therefore, he and the two families dismissed the army. Otherwise, I said that he abandoned the weak, rode lightly and walked the gap road, went to the Benxi River, and went to the party. How can Yuan Cai be captured, please teach me? β
Gao Gan heard the cold sweat dripping down, so from Xun Yu's discussion, the two sides swore a bloody oath, and they would stop the army and not fight each other. Gao Gan also gave Lu Bu several counties to raise troops.
Gao Gan stabilized Lu Bu, and he could let go of the other thorns in the state, and he didn't have to drag the Jizhou side back. Lu Bu also got a chance to recuperate. Both sides rejoiced.
As for whether the covenant counts or not, and how long it can be valid, it depends on the specific situation.
