Chapter 606: King Jibei asks Zhang Fei for help
After Liu Bei decided to shrink the battlefield and no longer let Zhang Fei covet Chen Liu, Zhang Fei abandoned Puyang and led his army to retreat to the north of Dongjun. and returned Puyang to Cao Jun.
Zhang Fei was about to leave and glanced south at Chen Liujun. It's a shame. If Chen Liu can be taken, he believes that it will be a very big shock to Yanzhou and Yuzhou. And he has found Chen Liu's internal response, Wu Kuang and Gao Gan are both from Chen Liu's family......
Zhang Feibing went to Linyi, rested for a while, and drove straight into the northern country of Jibei. Liu Zheng, the king of Jibei, made a strong move, tied up Jibei Xiang and others, and then welcomed Zhang Feijun into Lu County.
Liu Zheng has been a prince and king for nearly 40 years, and he has successfully boiled his children and grandchildren to death. He is also dying, and at this age, he has nothing to ask for, and he has nothing to fear. The only hope is that after his death, he will be able to sacrifice endlessly. Of course, he also knows the habits of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, since the Tui En Decree came out, there are fewer and fewer feudal countries in the world, with his bloodline that has long been separated from the Son of Heaven, if he wants the Jibei Kingdom to survive, it is not a great achievement, it is delusional. So after he learned that Zhang Feibing had entered Jibei, he immediately made a decision and used the guards in the palace to detain the officials of Jibei who were coaxed by him. Then open the city to meet Zhang Feijun.
That night in the palace, Liu Zheng retreated after the banquet, and then said to Zhang Fei: "I have something to ask the general, and I hope that General Zhang will turn to Chen." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he woke up most of the wine, and said busily: "The king has something, why don't you read the book in person?" "He doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, no matter how big or small.
Liu Zhengren was old and refined, and when he saw that Zhang Fei wanted to refuse, he immediately burst into tears. Although Zhang Fei was invincible on the battlefield, he was helpless in the face of an old man who was no threat to him and was in tears. So he had no choice but to speak: "The king will come to me, if the little general can help, he will definitely help him." ”
Liu Zhengxin said, you are Liu Xuande's favorite general, how can you not help? As long as you're willing to speak, it's easy to do. Liu Zheng can't help it. The Son of Heaven arrived in Qingzhou, but looking at this posture, he is also a puppet. Of course, even if he is not a puppet, Liu Zheng can't speak with the Son of Heaven. Since Liu Bei is out of government, it is easier to find Liu Bei. Last year, the state of Yaoyu in Xuzhou next door was divided into a county, and Liu Zheng was clear.
At that time, Liu Rong, the king of Yaoyu, had an old relationship with Cao Cao, and his son Liu Xi helped Cao Cao occupy Yaoxi, and this account was remembered clearly by Liu Bei, so later Cao Cao wrote to the imperial court, and after Liu Rongxu, he asked Liu Xi to be named the king of Yaoxi, and was opposed by Liu Bei. It dragged on until last year, and then Liu Xi was found a reason by Liu Bei, thinking that he was not qualified to attack the country, and then the country of Yaoyu, which had been passed down for more than a hundred years, was gone. Of course, in order to appease the family of King Yaoyu, Liu Bei asked the court to crown Liu Rong's brother Liu Miao as the Marquis of Yangdu. Can princes, kings, and princes be the same?
Liu Zheng said to Zhang Fei: "The old man is more than 60 years old, and his children and grandchildren are all dead, I am afraid that there will be no one to sacrifice behind him, so I dare to ask the general to say a few good words, and ask the general to be my brother's heir." ”
Zhang Fei almost jumped up when he heard this, shook his hand again and again, and said: "The seal of the prince, how can I interfere, this matter must not be done!" "This old man is simply a huge pit, Zhang Fei wants to leave after he finishes speaking.
Liu Zheng grabbed the sleeve of Zhang Fei's robe and said, "General, listen to the old man......" After listening to Liu Zheng's chatter, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, since he didn't want Jibei to continue to inherit, but wanted to seek a marquis to pass on the heir, so that he and his ancestors could not eat the blood endlessly. It's not that hard. With Liu Zheng's active performance, he succeeded the son or grandson of his younger brother's family to his knees, and then asked the lord to give him a knighthood, and after Liu Zheng was a hundred years old, it would be good to directly abolish Jibeiguo. So Zhang Fei agreed. Of course, he was also very cautious, and did not give Liu Zheng a ticket, but only said that he would do his best.
With Zhang Fei's words, Liu Zheng was overjoyed. He had also told his brother before that he would ask for a step-son to give him. As a result, his brother said that it was no problem to succeed him, and that he had to agree with the court. Also, it involves the inheritance of the kingdom, and of course the court will ask about it. Now that he does not seek to continue to pass on the northern kingdom of Jibei, he will not embarrass him if he wants to come to the imperial court and Liu Bei. I have a successor, which is also a wish, and I can turn a blind eye when I die.
Next, Liu Zheng, who got his wish, provided a lot of indispensable help to Zhang Fei in Jibeiguo. Even the wealth accumulated in the palace for many years was not stingy to take out and fund the army.
With the help of Liu Zheng, the king of Jibei, Zhang Fei quickly took control of Jibei, although the Yanzhou army still unswervingly implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, but with Liu Zheng's assistance, the situation in Jibei was much better.
When Zhang Fei pacified the northern kingdom of Jibei, Tai Shici also contacted Cui Yan, who was too guarded by Yao. Yaoyu County is in the east of Taishan County. Tai Shici didn't let Cui Yan do anything else, but just made a request, hoping that he could provide some help when necessary. For example, to transport food, such as to seal the border to prevent the flow of routs.
When Taishi Ci's soldiers entered Mount Tai, the families of Mount Tai County were also ready to move. Nancheng Yang's family made a decision early. Without him, the Yang family married Cai Yong and Kong Rong, and Yang Wei first married the daughter of Kong Rong, and then married Cai Yong's second daughter. And Cai Yong's eldest daughter, Cai Zhaoji, has entered the General's Mansion as Liu Bei's concubine. Is there a choice?
The abnormality of the Yang clan naturally can't hide from the eyes of Chen Gong and Zang Ba. They are all Yanzhou people, and Zang Ba is even more Taishan people, and they are very clear about the complex relationship between those families in the territory.
So the Yang family hasn't waited for Tai Shici yet, but he has already been on Zang Ba's board. Zang Ba found Chen Gong and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, Taishan Nancheng Yang Clan, has a relationship with Liu Bei, if the Han army arrives, it will rebel." I want to kill them first. How is it? ”
Chen Gong accepted Zhang Fei's affection for returning his family in his heart, and felt that it was very inappropriate for the Yang family to install the name of rebellion before he moved. If this is the case, wouldn't everyone in Yanzhou be in danger? So he rejected Zang Ba's proposal: "Xuan Gao, the sheep family is rebellious, and it can be removed." If there is no rebellion, it is not advisable to move it. Otherwise, Yanzhou will be in chaos. ”
Zang Ba is not from a family, and he is not clear about the behavior of the family everywhere. Only Chen Gong knew that Yang's behavior, even if he was not related to Liu Bei, was normal. If the Yang clan is moved, what will happen to the gentry in Yanzhou? This kind of thing, even if the lord Cao Cao comes, he will only turn a blind eye. There is grass all over the wall, how can you manage it. Only by defeating the opponent with strength will the wall grass be quiet.
Zang Ba wanted to say more, Chen Gong said to Zang Ba: "Xuan Gao, the Yang clan can't be killed, if Xuan Gao thinks that the Yang clan will be unfavorable to Mount Tai, it can be chased away." ”
Zang Ba touched a nose of ash here in Chen Palace, and went to look for Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun groaned for a long time, and said to Zang Ba: "Xuan Gao, what the public platform says is very true." I echo it. ”
Xiahoudun and Zang Ba are both military generals, unlike Chen Gong, who only talks half of what he says, so he explained the benefits and disadvantages to Zang Ba in detail. Zang Ba suddenly realized. In my heart, I only feel that this family is really a scourge.
