Chapter 272: The Xuzhou Rebellion (3)
Zhenrong wants to lead Xuzhou by himself. He introduced Cao Cao into Langya, but he wanted to end Xuzhou's civil and military efforts to welcome Liu Bei into Xuzhou, and by the way, he cut off the back road of Zang Ba's generals. so that he can easily control the remaining four counties of Xuzhou. As for whether Cao Cao will be greedy enough to covet the whole of Xuzhou if he gets Langya. Zhenrong didn't think that far. In other words, don't dare to think deeply. At present, he has one purpose, to prevent Liu Bei from coming to Xuzhou and keep the power and money he had before. Xuzhou is chaotic or not, and the people are not dead, what does it matter to him.
Zhenrong is so messy, which also makes Lu Zhu and others confused. But what is certain is that he would rather die than surrender to this shameless man. On this point, the opinions of Xuzhou Zhuwenwu reached an unprecedented consensus.
Zang Ba waved his army and fought again with Zhenrong. Zhenrong retreated thirty miles in defeat. Then, he hung up the war-free card to avoid the war. Zhen Rong was in the camp, and the generals said proudly: "Zang Ba's back road has been lost, and if you want to fight quickly, I can't avoid it, and when its food is exhausted, I will come out of the army, and I can capture it in a battle." ”
Zang Ba really didn't have much to do in the face of the turtle shell that was shrunk into a ball. Langya has been lost, and all the heavy grain and grass hoarded there have been lost. Relying on the East China Sea alone, the army will not be able to hold out for long. And rumors in the army gradually rose, saying that Langya, Pengcheng, and Guangling were all lost. The army has no fighting spirit and low morale. If it weren't for the fact that the army was basically all Xuzhou's children, and there were people like themselves who were suppressed, I was afraid that they would have mutinied a long time ago.
Just when Cao Cao digested Langya, Zhenrong and Zang Ba rejected each other. Liu Bei also received the latest news from Xuzhou. To be honest, Liu Bei didn't expect that the situation in Xuzhou would become like this.
It seems that you really can't underestimate the world's characters. This Rong, which appeared out of nowhere, suddenly stirred up the situation in Xuzhou.
Faced with such a situation, Qingzhou remained silent. Langya had been occupied by Cao Cao, and it was difficult to draw out a fleet of ships by sea to Xuzhou, and most of the sea ships transported immigrants and materials back and forth between Donglai and Liaodong. In such a situation, if you want to get Xuzhou again, there is almost no hope.
Liu Bei can't go and say to Cao Cao, Meng De, Xuzhou Mu Taogong's last words let me lead Xuzhou, you make way and let me lead the troops to Xuzhou, okay? No matter how good Cao Cao is with you, he can't do that. Let you go to Xuzhou, so how can this Langya be counted? Count me in, you're not happy. Count yours, I'm even more upset. Therefore, the move of Zhenrong is still very high, and it is a bit of a stroke of genius. It's just that it's still harmful to others and not to oneself. blocked Liu Bei, fattened Cao Cao, and he didn't fall well at all.
At this point, Liu Bei could only look up to the sky and sigh, saying that Xuzhou has no chance with me for the time being.
In Liaodong, the Wuhuan tribes came one after another, and Lu Zhi also fulfilled his promise and divided the fields and pastures. The Wuhuan tribes were overjoyed, and the leaders went to see Lu Zhi to express their loyalty, saying that they were willing to die for Taishou in the future. The increase in the population of Liaodong has completely opened up the construction boom of this fertile land in Liaodong. Wasteland was being opened everywhere, and the cavemen in the deep mountains and old forests were driven out. And the caravans also began to come to Liaodong in an endless stream to trade, bringing materials to Liaodong and taking away the production of Liaodong.
When the whole country of Liaodong was in full swing, Goguryeo also began to move. When Liu Bei beat Gongsun Du before, Gongsun Du's sons Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong fled, and Yu Fan Khan met Gao Jian, the second son of the king of Goguryeo, and the two said that they would move Gao Jian and agreed to attack the Qingzhou army together, but when they came to the king of Goguryeo, the covenant was not passed. Then it didn't take long for Gongsun Du to fall.
Goguryeo and Gongsun Du often hurt each other, but they still know each other very well. I thought that Gongsun Du would be able to support it for a period of time no matter how bad it was, but as a result, he crisscrossed Liaodong, and beat whoever was not pleasing to the eye, and he was beaten down by the Qingzhou Army after three times and five divided by two. learned about the fate of Gongsun Du. The Goguryeo monarchs and ministers were silent for a long time.
Then, Goguryeo, which had been silent for a long time, began to prepare. It's hard to have a neighbor who is too strong and not very friendly. After all, no one wants to be like Gongsun Du and end up miserable.
So during this time, no one took care of the Gongsun brothers, who had a desolate life in Goguryeo, and suddenly became the guests of the ministers of the King of Goguryeo. Today, please ask about the situation in Liaodong, and tomorrow you will ask about the situation in the Central Plains and Qingzhou of the Han Dynasty.
Seeing these people panicked, Brother Gongsun was very happy in his heart. Listen to me, why not? Resentful of the death of his father and the extinction of the clan and the failure of Goguryeo to save him. So every time there is a banquet, he talks nonsense. It is said that the Central Plains has been in chaos since the collapse of the first emperor, and the princes are killing each other, Qingzhou is actually nothing to fear, and he can occupy Liaodong just by taking advantage of my father's unpreparedness and sneak attack. It's really a one-on-one serious fight, and I don't know who will kill the deer. Moreover, Liu Bei's unauthorized dispatch of troops to Liaodong has caused many people to be dissatisfied. For example, Youzhou Mu, such as the Son of Heaven in Luoyang.
What the two Gongsun brothers said was true or false, and Goguryeo didn't know whether to believe it or not. So he secretly sent people to Liaodong and the Central Plains to spy on intelligence. Before long, the news came that the Central Plains was indeed a mess, and there was smoke everywhere, and conquests were everywhere. It is also rumored that Liaodong has a shortage of soldiers and horses, so it is Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei who ordered the world to recruit immigrants to migrate to Liaodong.
You can't blame Goguryeo for being closed to news, it was originally in a remote place, because the relationship with Gongsun Du was not good before, and it has been fighting, so there are not many business trips, and basically all the needs in the territory are privately traded with merchants in Liaodong. The news that the people of Liaodong knew and then passed it on to Goguryeo, its timeliness and authenticity had to be greatly discounted.
When the king of Goguryeo got the news, he was overjoyed. The Central Plains is chaotic, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has to face Xianbei Wuhuan externally, and Liu Yu and Yuan Shao internally. For Qingzhou, Liaodong is lonely overseas, and rescue is difficult. In this way, with the power of Goguryeo, it should be no problem to fight Liaodong and even Qingzhou, right? After all, he is still very strong, doesn't Gongsun Du, a native, also have to win over the Fuyu savages in order to compare with him?
The country of Goguryeo has always come from a great place. From the time it was founded, it began its bloody journey. After conquering many barbarian tribes, Goguryeo, which thought it was strong enough, began to attack Liaodong in the Han Dynasty. Shi Zai has repeatedly provoked border provocations, harassed Liaodong, and omitted my people. Then the Han Empire, which was annoyed by Goguryeo, educated Goguryeo so much that it lost its own capital.
But Goguryeo is dead and does not change. The former Goguryeo king Bogu led his troops to loot Liaodong several times during his reign, and even killed officials of the Han Dynasty. The county order of the belt party died at his hands, and he robbed the family of Lelang Taishou. The big man couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent troops to beat him violently, and he was convinced, and he was honest for a while. Gongsun Du stood on his own in Liaodong, and he competed with Gongsun Du and suffered a loss, so he nominally surrendered to Gongsun Du. It is estimated that there are seven disagreeables and eight unhappy. A few years ago, Bogu died, and the eldest rejoiced, and the younger brother won the throne. It is the current king of Goguryeo.
Right now. The king of Goguryeo is going to die again. Single-mindedly trying to restore the foundation of the ancestors and recapture the old capital of Goguryeo. I have to say that this is really a nation that owes a beating. In history, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, the later Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, etc., all had to fight it, not these glorious ancient and modern fierce men to bully the weak. It's that this country, this people, is really annoying. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo was on the road to death, during which it also brought down a powerful Central Plains Dynasty and turned a Ming monarch into a tyrant on a par with the First Emperor. It's kind of a toss. Fortunately, in the end, it was destroyed by my Datang.
However, it is going to die now, and Liu Bei naturally will not let it live for another few hundred years to harm future generations. Hearing that there was an abnormality in Goguryeo, Liu Bei stuffed Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and others into Liaodong. Anyway, now that Xuzhou has no share, there is nothing big about Qingzhou. Then go to Liaodong, and together with Huang Zhong, destroy Goguryeo, open up territory for Liaodong, and make peace for the Han Dynasty.
Guan Yu, Yan Yan and Liu Ke all said that they also wanted to go. They are not stupid, looking at this lineup, it is a proper battle to destroy the country. Since the sixth year of Emperor Xiping, Wuhuan Captain Xia Yu, Po Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Yan, Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zang Min and other three-way armies went out to expedition Xianbei, when did the Han Dynasty have such a big battle?
With the military might of Qingzhou, to destroy Goguryeo, it is to hold the handle in hand, and it is nine out of ten. This is the kind of foreign war, which will be remembered in history. Who doesn't want to go. One or two of them are in a hurry.
Liu Bei said that I was also helpless. You can't all go to Liaodong, Qingzhou is not fortified. After fighting Goguryeo, is this Qingzhou still my Liu Xuande's?
Okay, okay, don't look at me like that, I'm just soft-hearted. Okay, when the battle is over Goguryeo, there are still three Hans in Liaodong, and there are Buyeo people, and there is a lot of land, and when the time comes, let them come back to rest, and you go. But if you don't play well, you know?
After appeasing the generals under his command, Liu Bei's ears finally calmed down.
For the upcoming war, Qingzhou was very excited. At this time, the Han people were both brave and confident, and they were all good men. I heard that it was the Han family who fought Goguryeo and admired military merits enthusiastically signed up one by one. There was a long queue outside the camp of the Qingzhou armies.
War, what is it? In this world, there is no war anywhere in the world. But I'm in Qingzhou, I'm going to fight Goguryeo, and Liu Yuanjun said that this is to relieve the border troubles of my Han Dynasty and expand the territory. In the past few years in Qingzhou, he has lived an unprecedented good life by Liu Zhijun's kindness. Now the opportunity to die for Liu Zhijun has come. Don't hurry up and do anything in the army. Maybe you can get a wife and a son when the time comes. With Liu Yuanjun's benevolence, as long as he has made meritorious contributions, he will definitely not hesitate to be rewarded.
What the? You have to win to get a reward. Is it still necessary to doubt the victory of Goguryeo? Qingzhou will win!
At this time, it can be seen that Liu Bei's ability to govern Qingzhou in recent years has come. In other states, the military and civilians are often resentful. In Qingzhou, the people enthusiastically participated in the war and were willing to sacrifice their lives for Liu Zhijun.
The spirit of the people of Qingzhou also made the Qingzhou civil and military from Liu Bei down happy and gratified.
