Since the rebellion of the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty, the emperors of the Han family have restricted the princes and kings who have been divided to death. The magistrates were appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and the rents were also levied by the imperial court before being forwarded to the princes and kings. Although the king of the East China Sea could not influence the magistrates of the Lu country, he could influence the local gentry of the Lu country. As the largest landlord in the East China Sea and Shandong, the king of the East China Sea is still very concerned in these two places.

With the help of the King of the East China Sea, Guan Yu sneaked all the way to the country of Lu. Then the official of the palace handed a silk book to Guan Yu, and said to Guan Yu: "The orders of the counties are beyond the control of the king, as for the gentry in the country who are willing to serve the king, they are all in the silk, and the servants will return to the East China Sea. ”

Guan Yu thanked the king of the East China Sea, and then, with the cooperation of the local gentry, he broke out and attacked Xue County and Fan County. The two counties were caught off guard and were seized by Guan Yu. After succeeding, Guan Yu closed the four doors again and put up a list to calm the people. Because there is an internal response, and his subordinates are also measured, so the officials of the two counties, except for a county lieutenant who intends to resist as a ghost under the sword, the rest of the people and Guan Yu are all retained. Of course, it was inevitable that his family would be taken hostage in the army. The officials knew that it was the Han army, and they patted their chests to show their loyalty, expressing their willingness to serve Guan Yu. Guan Yu laughed at these remarks. Now just contacted, how to come faithful? It's nothing more than a relationship of interests, and if you are defeated, I'm afraid that those people will immediately turn against you.

The two counties were closed for a few days, and news spread to other places, and anything in this world, no matter how you hide and cover it up, will always leave some traces. So other places sent people to inquire, and the city guards answered freely, saying that there were mobs in the city who wanted to make trouble in response to Xuzhou, so there was this abnormality. This is a common thing, and it has happened in various places and places such as Taishan County. So officials elsewhere were not suspicious.

Guan Yu Tibetan troops are in Fan County, and now there is only one question in front of him, whether to attack Taishan County to the north and join Taishi Ziyi, or to attack Xiahou Yuan who is besieging Pengcheng in the south?

It didn't take long for Guan Yu to decide, first take the Lu State, and then go north with all his might, after attacking Xiahou Dun, after helping Tai Shici to take Taishan County, he quickly went south and then aided Pengcheng.

Just do it. In order to hide from people, Guan Yu waved his hand, and the whole army was replaced with the banner of Cao Jun. Then divide the troops all the way to Wu County and all the way to Bian County. When he saw an army swaggering over the official road, he couldn't help but be suspicious. I saw it from afar, and I saw that it was the banner of my own army. Peace of mind. So he sent the messenger out of the city to inquire. The captain who led the troops stood on his horse, looked at the messenger who came to ask each other, and said arrogantly: "A certain is the soldiers and horses under the account of General Xiahou, and he was ordered to come to the aid from Yuzhou. ”

The messenger was cautious and said, "Does the general have an order?" ”

You said that you are a soldier and horse in Yuzhou, you must have a credential, right? The lieutenant was immediately furious, and scolded: "The two counties of Xue and Fan have been inspected along the way, how did you get here, and you want to see it again?" Flatly, you can afford to delay the military situation? He scolded and cursed, but threw a piece of paper at the messenger.

The envoy picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a troop transfer document, and there were clear county seals of Xue and Fan counties on it. Only then did he say happily: "The general also invites the servant to come." ”

So he made a quote in the front, and made people report back to the county order first. The order was repaid, knowing that it was his own army, so after changing his clothes, he led his father and hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him.

When they arrived at the city gate, the captain of the Han military academy looked at the group of people in front of him with a smile. The commander came out of the ranks, bowed his hand to the captain, and said, "I don't know which general came this time?" ”

The lieutenant smiled: "But the donkey order in person? After receiving the answer, the lieutenant immediately turned his face, slashed the knife, and shouted: "Take it down for me!" ”

A group of wolf-like gangsters rushed up and wiped out all the people at the city gate. Yu Ling was not suspicious, still struggling: "What a crime am I! ”

The lieutenant didn't want to leak the news at the city gate, so he just sneered: "What are you guilty of? You'll know when you get to the house! So he led his army into the city. The onlookers at the city gate saw that the army couldn't help but say that they had received the county order and others to enter the threshold, and they didn't know what was happening. All of them are afraid. The captain of the Han military army smiled harmoniously and comforted the people, saying that he was on official business here, and the troops would definitely not disturb the people. Seeing that the army was indeed in order, and with the assurance of the captain, the people were at ease. Those who have the audacity are already thinking about what crimes these officials have committed. With the heart of gossip, there is no possibility of containment. By night, rumors were already raging in the city. Fortunately, no one has yet doubted the identity of the army.

Guan Yu went to Bian County a little later, and he also painted the gourd in the same way and gained control of Bian County. In the two counties of Su and Bian, there is also the internal response of the king of the East China Sea. However, if you make your identity clear, you will inevitably have to fight. It's not that he is afraid that he won't win, but Guan Yu wants to control the spread of the news as much as possible. He didn't expect to be able to keep it a secret, but if he could be one day late, it would be a day, and two days later would be two days. On the battlefield, timing matters.

After arriving in Bian County, Guan Yu did not go to Lu County and Wenyang. He only ordered the partial division in Suxian to find a way to occupy and capture Luxian and Wenyang. But he was sent to ride and quickly went to Taishi Ci's army.

Tai Shici had already hit Fenggao, and after getting Guan Yu's letter, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. smiled: "If you get the help of Yun Chang, Taishan will be fine." ”

Under the leadership of Chen Gong, Yanzhou strictly implemented the scorched earth policy. First held on, and if he couldn't hold on, he drove the people out of the city, and then took advantage of the Han army to gather the people, set fire to the city, and then slipped away by himself. So whether it is Zhang Fei or Tai Shici, they are all making slow progress in Yanzhou. It's not that they're incompetent, it's that there are too many city dwellers who have lost their homes and food and need to be resettled.

Fortunately, now that the summer grain has been harvested, and Liu Bei has also sent a lot of people to help, the current situation has only improved slightly.

At this time, Xiahoudun was in Mount Tai, and confronted the two armies of Taishici through Liangfu Mountain and Youlai Mountain. The terrain of Youlai Mountain is dangerous, and more than 100 years ago, Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Mei Army, used this as a base to fight in all directions. Later, there were countless grass robbers who set up villages here and did some business without capital. As for Liangfu Mountain, from the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, the emperor ascended Mount Tai and descended to Zen Liangfu. This is not a tall mountain, and its fame is also terrifying. Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Jue, was once the county of Taishan, so the Yuefu poem "Liang's Father's Yin" was also buckled on Zhuge Liang's head. As for whether it's true or not, no one knows. However, Guan Yu can be sure that Zhuge Liang must not have written this poem now.

Xiahoudun occupies the advantage of geographical advantage, Tai Shi Ci can't take him, and now Guan Yu quietly appears behind Xia Hou Dun, how can Tai Shi Ci not be happy?
