After Lu Bu's envoy retreated, Liu Biao gasped and said to the strategists: "This thief has insulted me too much, and I can chase him away!" β
Cai Mao said worriedly: "Lord, it is easy to chase it, but then force him to vote for Yuan Shu, the gains outweigh the losses!" β
Liu Biao glared at a pair of eyes and said angrily: "This thief is cunning and repetitive, and his reputation is notorious, how can Yuan Shu accept it?" β
Kuai Liang sighed: "In the past, more than 100 members of Mrs. Yuan's family were harmed by Dong Zhuo, and now Lu Bu has punished Dong, and he has a great favor to the Yuan family, how can he close his door?" β
Only then did Liu Biao react. Lu Bu indirectly eliminated the enemy for the Yuan family, if Yuan Shu didn't accept Lu Bu, it wouldn't sound good if it was spread out. This will make Liu Biao worry again: "If you allow it, Lu Bu still votes for the Yuan family, what can he do about it?" β
Kuai Yue said: "Promising heavy profits can avoid Lu Bu's troubles, and he may not necessarily go to Yuan Shu." If he is angered and makes it do his best to help the Yuan family, my Jingzhou will be in danger. Lu Bu was greedy for money, and the lord lured him with gold and silver to slack his heart. Then mobilize troops to watch their actions. If it is repeated, it will go to Yuan Shu, or there will be a troubled place, but the soldiers will be lost, and this thief must be captured! β
Liu Biao bowed his head lightly and agreed, and that was the only way.
Lu Bu is here, in fact, he is also worried in his heart. He's scared, too. In case it turns out to be a mistake and provokes Liu Biao, regardless of the mobilization of an army to suppress him, he is the reincarnation of King Xiang, and I am afraid that he will have to repeat the old story of Wujiang killing himself. However, according to everyone's analysis, Liu Biao's army is confronting Yuan Shu on the front line, and the possibility of dividing troops to provoke him is very small.
On Nanyang's side, Yuan Shu was also shocked when he heard that Lu Bu's envoy was coming. His face was full of disgust. Why did this plague god send a messenger to me? No, no, no! It's really Lu Bu who is too terrifying. first followed Ding Yuan, and then killed Ding Yuan, and then brought people and horses to Ding Yuan's lineage, and a large number of people were killed and injured. then switched to the big guy Dong Zhuo and became a super thug. As a result, it didn't take long for him to personally kill Dong Zhuo. This time it was even more excessive, and the Dong family was wiped out. led to the rebellion of the Liangzhou army and the chaos in Chang'an, implicating more than 10,000 innocent people. Such a scourge star who likes to personally harvest the heads of his superiors, how dare Yuan Shu touch it? He hasn't lived yet.
There are advisers under his command who speak: "Lord, Lu Bu exterminated the Dong family, avenged the blood feud of the lord's uncle, and there is a great favor to the Yuan family, you must not see it!" And if the lord refuses, he will see Liu Biao and regret it too late! β
Yuan Shu really wanted to say, my uncle has been dead for so long, can you not mention him? Lu Bu is going to vote for Liu Biao? That's great, then Lao Tzu will sit at home and watch how Lu Bu killed Liu Biao! Pinched his nose and saw Lu Bu's envoy, and after listening to the request, Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and agreed without saying a word. It turns out that you have to go somewhere else, and you are worried that the road fee will not be enough, no problem. I don't have anything else, but I have more money and more food. In the past few years, the warehouses are almost full. Let's give you more grain! Hurry up and take it and leave. Let's go, don't send it!
LΓΌ Bu left Jingzhou almost under the supervision of the Yuan and Liu families. Although he was not very glorious, but more than a thousand remnants of the army were defeated, Yuan and Liu did not dare to attack themselves, and Lu Bu was still very complacent. But I don't know that because people have no mortal enmity with Lu Bu, they are too lazy to use their own piece of jade to touch Lu Bu's crockpot.
Gongsun Du was in Liaodong, and since he established himself in the first year of the First Ping, he has completely ruled this place. I have to say that Gongsun Du has a brutal personality, but he is still very capable. He took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, and Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou were not very harmonious, and they had no time to pay attention to him, so he recruited refugees, recruited troops and horses, supported farming and weaving, recruited talents, and set up museums to study. In the past few years, compared with the chaotic Central Plains, the ground in eastern Liaodong has a bit of a paradise.
Gongsun Du attacked Goguryeo in the east and Karasuma in the west, picking soft pests and pinching them, bullying foreign friends to the point of crying. In fact, Goguryeo was still very warlike during this period. It's also amazing. Comparing the maps of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, we can see that the Goguryeo people gradually encroached on most of the Xuansu County and Lelang County of our Han Empire. Aggression is still great. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court often united with the rest of the people to suppress and attack Goguryeo, it would not only be lost in Liaodong.
It's not that the Han can't beat Goguryeo, it's really this kind of remote area, and the court doesn't have much interest. They are all primitive jungles, most of the people who live here are "savages", no one wants to immigrate here, and officials are not willing to come to this kind of place where they can't collect taxes and can't make political achievements. It doesn't matter anymore.
The scholars and doctors of the Han Dynasty are sometimes very pragmatic. A few years ago, some people didn't say that Liangzhou was so chaotic and that it would cost so much money every year, so it was better to give up. If it weren't for the fact that there is a Western Regions to the west of Liangzhou, there is a Sanfu region to the east. It's really important, and if you don't get it, the court will really give up. Even such an important place has ministers who dare to give up, let alone a remote place like Liaodong that can't fight with the Central Plains.
Therefore, it is still very good to say that Gongsun Du can fight with Goguryeo well, with more wins and fewer losses. His descendants later even conquered the capital of Goguryeo. Liu Bei admired this ability to deal with foreign people, but it was a pity who let him set himself up as the king, split the Han Dynasty, and sent troops to attack Qingzhou? For the enemy, no matter how appreciative he is, he can only let him go to see the king of Hades, as for dealing with foreign clans, Liu Bei expressed great interest.
It is too convenient to cross the sea from Qingzhou to Liaodong. Bohai Bay is also an inland sea, and the wind and waves are not large. From Donglai to the Liaodong Peninsula, there are countless islands along the way, and there are even fishermen living on it. Most of them are natural and man-made disasters or have committed crimes and fled here. With these people as the leading party, the Qingzhou fleet can be said to have arrived in Liaodong without danger all the way.
After getting off the boat, everyone was down-to-earth, and this heart was steady. Although the journey was smooth, the wind and waves on the sea, even after the soldiers were trained, still had a lot of discomfort. Huang Zhong saw that the soles of everyone's feet were a little weak, so he ordered the three armies to camp. This landing place is a barren beach. There are few people on track. After the soldiers recovered, Huang Zhong did not order the advancement, but ordered the craftsmen to build a wharf here, so that the big ships could dock directly, instead of the big ships stopping in the sea and transporting the soldiers up in small boats. This is too cumbersome to facilitate the delivery of loot in the future. Well, Huang Zhong is very strong in his heart, and before the battle has started, he is thinking about carrying the loot.
After the wharf was built, Huang Zhong left a battalion of men and horses to be stationed here, and ordered the three armies to move forward. The scout inquired and understood that there was a small county town in front of him, called the Yu clan. Huang Zhong decided, so he took down the Yu clan first, and used this as a resting place for his army.
The Qingzhou Army was formed by the descendants who had followed Liu Bei for many years. The record of repeated victories has forged their undefeated faith. At the same time, Liu Bei arrived in Qingzhou, and after having a fixed territory, he vigorously developed the craftsman battalion that had been operating in Jingzhou before, and a lot of money coupled with Liu Bei's leading concept, the result was that the equipment of the Qingzhou army was extremely sophisticated. Liu Bei's concept has always been that human life is far more important than equipment and money. What's more, the armor soldiers who survive every war are rare wealth. Therefore, leading a well-equipped glorious army to fight the natives of Liaodong, if he could still lose, Huang Zhong felt that he could commit suicide to thank the lord for his kindness.
Lu Min and Cui Yan followed the army slowly, while observing the surrounding environment with great interest. "Ji Jue, you see, the mountains and forests here are lush, the climate is suitable, and the flowing water is dense, which is clearly a good place to live. It's a pity that my Han has been based on this for hundreds of years, but it has been wasted. β
"Brother Zida, Liaodong is too remote, it's really impossible, who wants to leave their hometown and come to this desolate place?"
Lu Min pondered for a while. Also, from Luoyang to here, thousands of miles away, everyone lives well, who wants to come here to open up wasteland? However, when I heard about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, more than 100,000 displaced people went to Liaodong and settled here. These people are also a big reliance for Gongsun Du to show his ambition and rise here. After all, with people, there are taxes, and only then can there be soldiers.
Liaodong County, looking at the map, is a large piece of land. It's a pity that in such a large place, it is clearly recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that the eleven cities are led, but the population is only more than 80,000 people. It's really vast and sparsely populated. If it weren't for the chaos in the world in the past few years, and many homeless people have come here, Gongsun Du is afraid that he will not be able to turn over any storms.
When Huang Zhong led the army to appear under the city of Yu. The prefectural order almost fainted on the spot. The First Army of Qingzhou, the Third Army of Qingzhou, plus the auxiliary soldiers, people, and craftsmen of the battalion, more than 10,000 people. There are only 20,000 people in the city. This is still the result of Gongsun Du once taking the Yu clan as a bridgehead to attack Donglai, and he paid a few points of attention. Although the county magistrate was full of fear, his duty was to shout down: "Who is coming? In fact, he was not blind, after seeing the banner of "Liu" in Douda and the banner of "Huang, the general manager of the Liaodong Marching Army", he had a vague guess in his heart.
Huang Zhong also did as he wished, and sent a few high-voiced soldiers out of the battle and shouted: "Huang Han, the chief of the Liaodong marching army under the command of the Marquis of Guangyang and the Marquis of Liu Junhou of Qingzhou, has risen here!" You listened carefully: Gongsun Du of Liaodong did not respect the Son of Heaven and did not serve the imperial court, but he went retrograde, divided himself, raised swords and soldiers, and committed my Qingzhou. It's really a national thief! My lord Liu Junhou has asked the Son of Heaven to send troops to fight against the unministers! Now I am ordered to lead the army to the east to this point, and you will not quickly open the city and surrender to meet the king's division! β
The county order was stupid after listening to it. It's really Liu Bei here! He also asked the Son of Heaven to come and conquer the lord Gonggong Sun Du? Didn't you just send troops to fight Donglai? Send troops to you, Liu Bei hasn't taken office yet, okay? Do you want to be so angry?
The prefectural order was privately appointed by Gongsun Du. I had the heart to say a few hard words, saying that I was going to fight with you Huang Zhong, looking at the black pressure under the city and a large area of murderous armor, the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them stiffly. It's still important to live a little life. So the bitter mouth was full of bitterness and the county magistrate and the county lieutenant next to him, who were also soft-footed: "Come down." So he ordered the white flags to be hoisted on the left and right.
The county commander's heart ached. Pity my county magistrate position, spend countless favors and money to get a little bit, and before the ass is hot, there is such a group of evil gods, alas, this day can't be lived. The county commander was distressed, Huang Zhong and the others were also depressed in the city, and they were grinding their fists before, wanting to show their skills. Who would have thought that the first battle in the east would be surrendered to the enemy so spinelessly.
