Chapter 440: Bingtun Boundary Bridge (3)
Let go of Gao Gan, the two generals turned back to the village, on the way, Guan Hai's eyes rolled, and said to Zhang Yan: "Lao Zhang, Gao Gan is gone, and the state must be empty." You and I might as well go to Taihang, join forces with several generals such as Zilong and Fengxian, seize the state, and cut off the road behind Gao Gan and Yuan Shao. ”
Zhang Yan was worried in her heart, she just said that she wanted to work, but the first task she took was abandoned halfway. This errand is a mess, and it would be bad if it gave the general the impression that he was ineffective. In the future, when it comes to meritorious deeds, I'm afraid my ranking is not high. Zhang Yan thought about this idea and immediately raised her hands to agree. I heard that the general successively sent Zhao Yun and Lu Bu two large armies to attack and merge the state, at this time, if he led the army to cross the Taihang natural danger and appeared behind the Bingzhou army, then the state was attacked by the enemy, how could he be undefeated? And when the general sent Cui Jiqi and Zhang Wenyuan to come, he didn't want to make a surprise attack on him. It works!
So he followed Guan Hai, returned to the camp to raise troops and horses, and prepared to cross the Taihang Mountains and invade the state. Before leaving, he ordered the general Du Chang and his eldest son Zhang Fangzhen to guard the pass.
Liu Bei is not the kind of person who likes to use maps to command his troops. He was born as a soldier and fought countless battles, so he naturally knew that the situation on the battlefield often changed due to various factors, and sometimes orders could not be carried out. And Zhang Yan has not yet been officially included in the Qingzhou military system. So Zhang Yan didn't attack Gao Gan, and he didn't care. It's just that Guan Hai's intelligence was not reported to him as soon as possible, which is unbearable, and the spies of the Intelligence Department all know that Gao Gan has arrived in Zhao State, but he, the master, doesn't even know it. How does this work?
So Liu Bei asked the junior colonel of the Intelligence Division: "Since the information has arrived, why don't you report me immediately?" ”
The little colonel said: "Back to the lord, command the information to come, and send people to Pegasus to Ben'anping and Qingzhou, but for some reason it has not been in the lord's account, and the lowly post will go to investigate thoroughly." ”
After Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly remembered that this was behind enemy lines, and anything could happen, and it was not easy for Guan Hai to toss all the way to now, but it was not appropriate to be too harsh. So he waved his hand and said, "If I don't want to blame, the matter of intelligence is very important, and there is no room for error." Remember, remember. ”
The little correction wanted to retreat, but Liu Bei suddenly said: "You remember, quickly pass on my general's order, order Zhang Yan and Guan Hai, attack and merge the state, and respond to the army of Zhao and Lu." Go! ”
Yuan Shao personally brought the army to come, and Liu Bei knew that this war was destined to be a protracted war, and it was not his head-to-head confrontation with Yuan Shao that would determine the outcome of the battle. It's about who has more means and who is more resilient. If his side can end the war in the state ahead of schedule and win, then it can only be Yuan Shao who is in a hurry. Bingzhou is Yuan Shao's solid rear, and once the state is lost, Yuan Shao's back road will be cut off, which will blow the hearts of the Jizhou Group Army and the people, which is not something that can be described at all. When the time comes, Yuan Shao will be attacked head-on on his side, and the armies of Bingzhou will attack from behind, how can Yuan Shao withstand it.
As for the war in Bingzhou, Liu Bei was not worried at all. If Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Tian Yu, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan are added, such a lineup can't take the next merger of the main generals, and he can only buy good tofu and let the generals die headlong.
Here, Yuan Shao saw Liu Bei leading the army, so he led the army out of the camp to see Liu Bei. Yuan Shao was not wearing armor, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade belt around his waist, and the crotch was riding on a famous horse of different species in the northwest, and his whole body was snow-white without a trace of variegation. He came out of the battle and said loudly: "Where is Xuande!" ”
Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao riding out of the camp, so free and easy, he said in his heart Let you sass, believe it or not, I let Han Sheng shoot you with an arrow?
However, Liu Bei also has to admit that Yuan Shao is indeed very good-looking, Fengshen Junlang is very charming, and in the future generations, those girls who are obsessed with uncles don't know how crazy they are when they see it.
Yuan Shao invited, Liu Bei naturally did not show weakness, and also rode out of the battle alone, came to see Yuan Shao, and when he walked to the middle of the formation, Liu Bei laughed and said: "At the beginning, Liu Bei is here!" ”
Yuan Shao squinted slightly, staring at the person in front of him. At this time, Liu Bei was in the prime of life, full of energy and high spirits. let Yuan Shao see it, and his heart suddenly felt infinite emotion, the border boy who was not put in his eyes back then has now grown into a character that he dare not ignore. Thinking about Liu Bei's development trajectory over the years, Yuan Shao felt regret and hatred in his heart, and he hated it for thousands of years if he made a mistake. Why did you put such a person in Qingzhou in the first place. The world is so big, even if he is allowed to go to Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Okay now, Liu Bei, the trapped dragon, is about to enter the sea. So he's going to grab the land with himself. Yuan Shao believed that except for Liu Bei, any prince in the world would come here, and he would be able to easily knock the other party down.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't say a word, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Neither of them knew what was going on in their minds. In the end, Liu Bei broke the silence and said to Yuan Shao: "What is the matter with Brother Ben summoning me?" ”
Yuan Shao stabilized his mind, smiled with emotion, and said: "Heaven is impermanent, and the world makes people." If Xuande can join hands with me, why worry about the uncertain world and the unprosperous Han. It's a pity, you and I will eventually have to meet each other. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he was also touched. Indeed, if Yuan Shao had put down his lofty shelf, put on a correct posture, and everyone worked together, what would the eunuch have gained, and what would Dong Zhuo have gained?
It's a pity that Yuan Shao had a ghost in his heart from the beginning, and he didn't say anything else, just said that Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and he made a coalition against Dong for the alliance leader, what was the result? There are so many princes and soldiers in the world, who gather together to eat, drink, sit and talk all day long, and almost consume the grain and grass, so they no longer play soy sauce, and they scatter as birds and beasts.
Since then, the hearts of the people in the world have been scattered, and the princes have their own policies. If it is said that the Han Dynasty can no longer recover its decline, the source of this is from Yuan Shao.
The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, half of the world's scholars and officials are from his subordinates, and then when the country is in danger, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not play an exemplary role, but desperately dug the foundation of the Han Dynasty with small calculations. In this way, how can people with lofty ideals in the world be willing. Therefore, one by one, they followed the same example, and they divided the localities one after another, and no longer obeyed the orders of the imperial court.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, it's too late for you to say anything now, I didn't think about it at first, I just wanted to be a good minister but I couldn't get it, and I could only choose my own way to save the Han Empire. Just like Cao Mengde, no one gave him the opportunity to be the general of Han Zhengxi, and he could only come in his own way. All of this was forced by you. Liu Bei thought in his heart.
