Chapter 283: The Former Wolf and the Tiger
In the winter of the second year of Xingping, the Son of Heaven of Luoyang made the Eastern Expedition and named Liu Bei as the general of Zhendong, the fake festival, and the food and thousands of households. Liaodong Taishou Lu Zhi was the Marquis of the capital; Huang Zhong is the Xuansu Taishou, the Marquis of Guannei; Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Sha Mo and other generals are all rewarded.
On the Qingzhou side, after Liu Bei sacrificed the three armies, the Fifth Army of Qingzhou was formally formed, with Tai Shici as the lieutenant general and the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army of Qingzhou, stationed in Licheng. At the same time, Zhang Fei's department was moved to Beihai.
After the destruction of the Goguryeo Kingdom, there were many deaths and injuries among Goguryeo men. Tens of thousands of people were enslaved, contributing to the construction of Qingzhou in eastern Liaoning. At this time, there were a large number of widows and single women in the cities of Goguryeo, and Liu Bei ordered the pastoral government to allow school-age women to be athletes in the army. Help him get married. If you don't ask, forced by life, these women don't know what they will face. You must know that there are so many slave traders here that they dare to buy and sell human beings under your nose.
It's not easy to get married at this time, Liu Bei gave this order, I don't know how many bachelors' lifelong events have been solved for Qingzhou. So the generals and soldiers in the army cheered for the lord, and they were even more happy to die in their hearts.
When Cao Cao took Zang Hong to the East China Sea to say surrender, Yuan Shu also reacted. He and Guangling were next to each other, Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu was killed by Zhenrong, Guangling was in chaos, and the scholars and people came south to take refuge. When the people below heard the news, they immediately reported it layer by layer. Yuan Shu heard it, what, Zhen Rong killed Zhao Yu, surrounded Tan County, and led Cao Cao into Langya, what does this husband want to do?
He didn't care about Xuzhou before, it was because Liu Miao was embarrassed with him in Qu'a. Now with the help of Sun Ce, Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Now that I'm idle and take a look, no, how capable Cao Cao is, I don't know how much I can do, don't you know? Together, a few Rongs will not be Cao Cao's opponents. If Cao Cao destroys Zhenrong and wins Xuzhou, will his Yangzhou still be safe after his power increases greatly? You must know that you have an enmity with Cao Cao. When the time comes, there will be Cao Cao outside, and Liu Miao inside, a huge foundation, but I'm afraid that if I don't say it, I won't have it.
No, no matter what, Cao Cao can't be allowed to come to Xuzhou. happened to have enough troops, so Yuan Shu ordered the general Chen Ji to lead the army out of Guangling. He also sent a letter to Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou, and asked him to knock down Pi from Peiguo and go to Duanrong's lair.
Sun Jian was also annoyed in Yuzhou. Before Yuan Shu showed him to be the assassin of Yuzhou, Yuan Shao sent another Yuzhou assassin to come. finally beat away the Yuzhou assassin sent by Yuan Shao. Nanyang Liu Biao is ready to move again. And in the entire territory of Yuzhou, there are many thieves like cow hair, and they pressed the gourd and scooped. It's not about here or there. The world is evil, and people no longer dare to farm with peace of mind. In order to protect the fruits of his labor, he can only carry a hoe and a thief. And the powerful clans of the county and the country are all defending themselves according to the fort, and Sun Jian has to work hard to raise some money and food.
Especially in Yuzhou, there is another master who makes Sun Jian's head super painful, that is, Chen Wang Liu Pet.
Liu Pet, the son of Liu Cheng, the king of Chen Xiao, has been practicing martial arts since childhood, especially good at shooting. When Liu Pet was in the second year of Xiping, he almost capsized in the gutter, and the minister of state moved to Emperor Ling of Han to complain, saying that the former minister Wei Su and Chen Pet sacrificed to the gods together, and asked for things that should not be asked, and the crime was unreasonable. At that time, there happened to be a eunuch who falsely accused Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, of rebellion and killed the family of the king of Bohai. Emperor Ling of Han couldn't bear to kill the clan again, so he took the two ministers to the edict together and confronted them. The result is that each has its own reasoning and is confused. Emperor Ling of Han didn't bother to think about it, killed the two ministers together, and then issued an edict to train Liu Chong to finish the matter.
During the Zhongping period, the yellow turbans were everywhere, and when the world was in turmoil, there were only a few places in the world that were not chaotic. Among them is Chen Guo. Because King Chen and Liu Pet have thousands of strong crossbows, and the Chinese people know that their king is good at shooting, so they dare not oppose it. In the country, King Chen appeased the people, accepted the homeless, and called himself the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, and did a lot of work.
Sun Jian came to Yuzhou and asked King Chen for food. King Chen thought to himself that you were just an assassin appointed by Yuan Shu, and you dared to ask me for food. The territory is well governed by widows, and we don't need your help. We have food, save a few more people, don't you want to give you Sun Jian? So he rejected Sun Jian's request. Sun Jian can't do anything about this thorn, he can't risk the world's disapproval to beat King Chen. And all the heroes in the state always take King Chen as the standard, and when they see that King Chen does not provide food, they also make excuses. Although it is not as tough as King Chen, it is also very unfavorable when supplying Sun Jian. In the past few years, Sun Jian has not been very comfortable in Yuzhou.
It happened that Yuan Shu sent a letter, saying that something was wrong in Xuzhou, and the traitor Zhenrong killed Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, and then led Cao Cao into Xuzhou. Yuan Shu said that instead of letting Cao Cao enter Xuzhou, it was better to let himself take advantage of the chaos to rob Xuzhou. At that time, Yu, Xu, and Yang will be connected together, and the offense and defense will be integrated. In this world, no one needs to be afraid.
Sun Jian was right when he thought about it, he was from Jiangdong, and most of the generals and children under his command were from Jiangdong. In this Yuzhou, whether it is eating or talking, it is a little uncomfortable. If he can really grab Xuzhou, he will stay in Xuzhou, and Yuzhou will let Yuan Shu send others. Thinking of his wife, brother, eldest son, nephew and other relatives in Yangzhou, I couldn't help but feel a fire in my heart. I can't wait to have wings on my back and fly over the Yangtze River immediately.
In the winter of the second year of Xingping, Zang Hong came to the East China Sea from Dongjun to see the old people in Xuzhou. Lu Zhu, Chen Deng and others greeted him in person, and treated the above guests. After gossiping, Zang Hong spoke: "Zhugong, now that Zhenrong is in rebellion, the people in the state have no support, and Cao Gong has gone to the East China Sea. Why don't you ask Cao Gong to break the rules, how about it? ”
Lu Zhu said: "Rong Rong is a thief, and a villain repeatedly." There are two generals Zang and Sun in our state, and there are two generals Cao and Lu in it, so why be afraid. Thief, death is not far away. didn't dare to bother Cao Gong, and asked Ziyuan to reply to Cao Gong, the matter of Xuzhou should be decided by the people of the state. I hope that Cao Gong can withdraw from Langya. ”
Zang Hong frowned and said, "Zizhong, you and I are old friends, why bother to lie to me?" Zhenrong surrounded Tanxian County to the point where it was impassable, Xuangao lost Langya again, and the military rations had long been gone. In Tancheng, how long can grain and grass be used by the military and civilians? As long as Zhenrong hangs the war-free card, it won't be long before the Xuangao army outside the city will be dispersed. Why bother? ”
Lu Zhu pondered for a long time, and said: "Tao Gong left his last order to let Xuzhou Yu Liu Xuande." ”
Zang Hong said: "This time, that time." Liu Xuande is far away in Qingzhou, and now the road is blocked, and he is focusing on Liaodong, so he must not go south. Why should Zizhong go near and seek far? ”
Lu Zhu just refused, and Cao Bao next to him spoke up: "Zizhong, Tao Gong is dead, Xuzhou is in danger, how can you give up Cao Mengde and hope for Liu Xuande?" The people of a state, hundreds of people, are waiting for us to save them, we can't hesitate. Cao Bao said secretly in his heart, Zizhong, Zizhong, don't you still understand the situation? The state shepherd, the strong soldier and the strong horse do it. If you dare to refuse, Cao Cao will definitely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching Zang Xuangao's defeat with a fighting eye, and then he will take action to clean up the Rong. When Cao Cao swept away Zhenrong, who in the state could resist it? When the time comes, we won't end well. Now push the boat down the river, accept Cao Cao, and have a meritorious service. No, when Cao Cao turns around, he will fall to the ground if he doesn't do well. He has an enmity with me in Xuzhou. Have you forgotten that his father died in our Xuzhou?
Lu Zhu's heart was also fluctuating, if it wasn't for Zhen Rong intercepting the envoy they sent to Qingzhou, how could things be like this. What a hate! Looking at the expectant looks of everyone in the audience, he said in his heart, let's go, I have to be sorry for Tao Gong and Liu Xuande. But he was reluctant to make up his mind, so he looked at Chen Deng.
Chen Deng is a native of Xiapi, Yunwen Yunwu. When he served as the magistrate of Dongyang County and the lieutenant of the agricultural school, he had many political achievements. It is known as a prestige in the state. In the past, when the state Chinese ministers sat down to talk and talked about the world's figures, Chen Deng was most optimistic about Liu Xuande, believing that the Sanxing Han family belonged to him. He is also a member of the strong support for Liu Xuande to become the owner of Xuzhou. Chen Deng saw Lu Zhu looking at him, and said with a wry smile in his heart, Zizhong, Zizhong, what's the use of you looking at me. Even if I refuse to live or die now, I insist on letting Liu Xuande come. And what can change? Cao Cao, that's iron-hearted, and he's going to meddle in Xuzhou, can't you see it? If you really want to tear your face, we won't talk about it, and Tao Gong's family will really not be able to keep it. When the time comes, what face will we have to see Tao Gong under Jiuquan? It's better to come down first and wait and see what happens. So he didn't say a word.
Seeing that Chen Deng was also silent, Lu Zhu knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he sighed and said, "We would like to ask Cao to settle the matter to solve the crisis in Xuzhou." ”
Zang Hong was overjoyed when he heard it, although Lu Zhu did not say that he wanted to serve Cao Cao as the main one, but as long as Xuzhou agreed to Cao Cao's intervention in Xuzhou's affairs, then Cao Cao would naturally have no more concerns. After negotiating some more details, they said goodbye one after another.
So he went to see Cao Cao and said so. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he sent an envoy to see Zang Ba with a book of elk, and Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others looked at it, and there was no way, and their base camp was in Kaiyang. If Tan County can't provide military funds, the army will really disperse. These people are all military generals who have risen in the troubled times, and they know that if the troops are dispersed, they will be nothing. Tanxian County is about to fall, and I still hold on here. So he went to see Cao Cao and asked for surrender.
Cao Cao saw Zang Ba, saw his extraordinary majestic appearance, and was overjoyed, so he appointed Zang Ba as the minister of Langya, and after pacifying Xuzhou, he also led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to guard Langya.
When it comes to the means to win people's hearts, the heroes of the troubled times are Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and then Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Yu. As for Yuan Shao's Yuan technique, it was completely relied on the prestige of the Yuan clan in Runan that he was able to gather Yingjie for his use in the early stage. In the later period, after everyone knew what these two brothers were, there were basically no more generals to defect to the Yuan family.
Cao Cao's atmospheric behavior moved Zang Ba and others greatly, and they couldn't help but have an emotion in their hearts that they would die as a confidant. With Cao Cao's funding, where did Zang Ba put Zhenrong in his eyes. So after the three armies were fed, they fought the battle of Fuhe and defeated the army of Zhenrong in succession.
Zhen Rong also panicked at this time, the script is not played like this. How can you bring down Cao Cao? Angry and anxious, Zhen Rong sent an envoy to Cao Cao, saying that you had broken our original covenant. said that it was only for Langya to you, why did you set foot in the East China Sea? Cao Cao was still in the mood to take care of Zhen Rong, laughed fiercely, and ordered the left and right armor soldiers to cut the messenger into two pieces, and then sent the head to Zhen Rong.
When Zhen Rong saw the dead head, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. That's when bad news came. Chen Ji, the Taishou of Jiujiang under the command of Yangzhou Mu Yuan Shu, led the army to commit Guanglingjing, and Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou, led the army to commit Pijing. When Zhen Rong heard this, he couldn't hold on any longer, gasped, and really fainted.
