Chapter 781: Yizhou Comes to the Rescue
Cao Ang and Cao Cao's father and son finally broke up unhappily. Cao Cao scolded Cao Ang with a strong voice, and then ordered him to study and think about it behind closed doors.
After teaching his eldest son a lesson, Cao Cao's worries were even worse, even the heirs he had cultivated had such thoughts, and the soft bones in Jiangdong were only afraid of more. Forget it, let's send reinforcements quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night. As for the benefits or not, let Jiangdong breathe a sigh of relief first.
Historically, Cao Cao himself welcomed the Han Dynasty and presented the emperor to the east, and then appointed himself as the prime minister, overseeing the affairs of the world. Holding the banner of Kuangfu Han Family, in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, he will beat whoever is unhappy. As a result, none of the princes in the world obeyed him, this one said that he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the other said that he was named Han Xiang, but he was actually a Han thief. In short, no matter what the thoughts and reasons are, they are just looking for excuses to fight against him, continue to engage in separatism, and dream of overthrowing the Han Dynasty, ascending the throne as the co-lord of the world, and establishing a new dynasty.
Now Liu Bei is doing the same thing as Cao Cao did in history. But nominally, none of the princes dared to speak out against Liu Bei on a formal occasion. There are many reasons, such as Liu Bei's consistent good reputation and fame, and so on. But the most important reason and one of the reasons that the princes are most reluctant to think about is that Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and he is still the queen of the clan.
This gave Liu Bei the right reason to do everything. Whether he abused power or usurped the throne, it was all a family matter of the Son of Heaven if he investigated it carefully. Anyway, behind closed doors, everyone's surname is Liu, even if Liu Bei finally ascends the throne as emperor, his dynasty will still be the Han Dynasty. The temples of the Han family, the princes and kings, will not have any major changes. And not like other princes, if Cao Cao or Sun ascended the throne and established a new dynasty. Although the temples of the emperors of the Han Dynasty from Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty were not destroyed, could they still be enshrined and worshipped? The princes and kings surnamed Liu, can they still be passed down from generation to generation? No, the temple that will be erected at that time will be another surname.
So this is Liu Bei's advantage, if he wants that position, the scholars who really care about the world will support it, and the people will also support it. Because they all yearn for a master to create a new peace and create a new prosperous atmosphere. His followers will also support it, because Liu Bei is on the throne, and they, as the heroes of the fathers, will naturally rise to the top. The princes and kings of the Liu clan will also support it. Because Liu Bei wants to get their support, he must make a commitment to them. And princes with foreign surnames like Cao Cao probably only talk to them with knives, right? Cao Wei came to power in history, what other princes and kings surnamed Liu are in this world?
What kind of person Cao Cao is, he naturally thought about this question carefully, but Liu Bei's innate advantage is there. There's nothing he can do to change that. And if he wants to compete for the top of the world, what else can he do except fight with a knife and a gun, and fight bit by bit?
With the fall of Er Yuan and Guan Liang's surrender, most of the world is already in Liu Bei's hands. Cao Cao couldn't help but be in a hurry. Cao Cao, who originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask for all of Jingzhou, decisively stopped falling into the well. First, the negotiations were temporarily shelved, but he let his number one generals, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun, lead the elite 50,000 to help Jiangdong.
This sudden decision made Lu Su stunned for a while, he and the people on Cao Cao's side were arguing with reason, arguing for their own interests, and suddenly Cao Cao, the big boss of Yizhou, said Don't quarrel, I will send troops to help you fight. made Lu Su think that something urgent happened in Jiangdong. After hurriedly returning to the pavilion and sending back the news, the reaction from Jiangdong's side was conveyed in time. Jiangdong is temporarily fine, and the armies on both sides are facing each other.
Lu Su suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When I look at Yizhou and Cao Cao again, the perception is a little different. Lu Su is a kind person. He thought to himself, Cao Gong is so sincere, then next, as long as it is not too demanding, then I will also return to Yizhou from the current lord. Well, forget about the land, in terms of money and food, let's compensate more.
But it was said that Liu Bei led the army into Xuzhou. The army is gathered here, the people eat the horses and chew it, and the grain is consumed at a rapid rate visible to the naked eye every day. Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also a little painful. When he first went to Qingzhou, there was starvation everywhere, and a large amount of land was either annexed or abandoned. Start farming. He has a sober and profound understanding of how precious food is. In the final analysis, although he was changed by this era, he was still different from other princes after all. Before he crossed over, he was also a member of the ruled class. The people around me don't have any big names. Therefore, Liu Bei has been quite frugal and simple in terms of enjoyment such as clothing, food, housing and transportation. Even at one time, because there were too few hostesses in the backyard, people talked about it.
His words and deeds, every move, were looked at and remembered by many people with a heart. And Liu Bei's words and deeds are undoubtedly very in line with the image of the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch in the hearts of many people.
Grain, grass and materials are being consumed rapidly, Liu Bei is anxious, but he can't act rashly, he has to be responsible for the soldiers under his command and their common cause. On the Guangling front, Chen Deng's reports kept coming. Gan Ning was also there, and countless Xiandeng dead soldiers were testing day and night on the Dajiang defense line. Trying to find a breakthrough.
However, the Jiangdong side also knew that the situation was critical, and when the homeland was in danger, the Jiangdong soldiers also tried their best to defend. Along the south bank of the river, there were dense beacon fires, countless troops were on standby, and several fleets were constantly patrolling back and forth on the river. Whenever there is a little wind and grass, Yangzhou soldiers and horses will be dispatched urgently.
So in this case, for a while, the Han army also failed to make much progress. Liu Bei knew that such a thing as a war must not be rushed. If you are in a hurry, you may make mistakes. As long as the high pressure on Jiangdong is maintained, maybe the fighter will slowly appear on its own.
On this day, Liu Bei had nothing to do, so he invited the ministers to discuss the matter together. After the banquet dispersed, Jia Xu saw that Liu Bei's eyebrows were depressed, so he said: "My lord, stay here." ”
Liu Bei, who was about to move to the apse to rest, saw that it was Jia Xu, and was overjoyed, so he stopped, looked at Jia Xu and said, "What can Wen He teach me?" He thought to himself, Jia Xu has changed people, maybe he has a good idea. Even if he doesn't, the stones of his mountains can attack jade, and listening to his remarks, maybe you can also get some other inspiration.
I saw Jia Xu and said: "Lord, our army confronted Jiangdong, and Hanzhong lost the first battle. I am afraid that Cao Cao will send reinforcements here, and the Jiangdong army and people will hear the letter, and it will inevitably be vibrating. ”
Liu Bei's heart turned, knowing that what Jia Xu said was right. And he was 100% sure that Cao Cao would send reinforcements out. In this case, even if Cao Cao only sent one person. Sun Ce and Yangzhou civil and military forces will also make a lot of publicity, so that everyone can make it known, so as to enhance the morale and confidence of the people in Yangzhou. This is really bad news for the Han army. This means that the difficulty of the war has increased again.
