Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 19 Chen Hao was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty,

"General, the subordinate has a heavy trust......

"Hmph......" Li Hong sneered and waved at him,

"I thought that Sun Ce was dead, and Jiangdong was not guaranteed, but who knew that Zhou Yu took the initiative to give up the fight for Jiangdong and assist the little-known Sun Quan, which was a big surprise. How long do you think the intimacy between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu can last? Chen Hao saw that the general did not blame himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart,

"In my opinion, as long as Mrs. Sun lives, even if there is infighting in Jiangdong, it will not affect the stability of Jiangdong. Sun Quan was the first to lead Jiangdong, but he did not have enough qualifications and an unstable foundation, and he needed time to build and consolidate his power. Therefore, in the future, Zhou Yu's support and help are very important to him, and he will never rashly turn against Zhou Yu. As for Zhou Yu, choosing to assist Sun Quan at this moment is also a last resort, his strength is weak, and Sun Quan's fate is connected, one is prosperous and one is lost, he can only make this helpless choice. In the future, Sun Quan will sit firmly in Jiangdong and have full wings, and it will be difficult to say Zhou Yu's fate. ”

"How so?" Li Hong asked curiously,

"Could it be that Sun Quan is better than his brother Sun Ce?"

"I think he's very scheming and shameless."

"Shameless?" Li Hong's thick eyebrows frowned slightly,

"You mean forcing Old Madam Sun to marry her daughter to you?"

"No, it's a matter of hostage." Chen Hao sat down on the table again at Li Hong's signal, and pursed his lips disdainfully,

"Sun Ce is dead, Sun Quan actually leads Jiangdong on his behalf, and the court wants to hold him hostage, of course, Sun Quan's wife and child. But Sun Quan lied and deceived Mrs. Sun that we wanted several of his younger brothers to go to Jinyang to be hostages. Old Madam Sun actually believed it. She didn't want to think about it, Sun Quan was the lord of Jiangdong, what was the use of us asking his younger brother to be a hostage? How much of a threat did Sun Quan's younger brothers pose to Sun Quan? In my opinion, Sun Quan deliberately let his younger brothers leave Jiangdong, so as not to compete with him for power and profit, and the brothers will be at odds with each other. Who knew that Mrs. Sun was resolute and disagreed. ”

"When I asked to leave Jiangdong, I met with Sun Quan alone. Sun Quan hinted to me, saying that now Jiangdong is Zhou Yu's final say, and it is more effective to take Zhou Yu's wife and child as a hostage. Of course, I understood what he meant, so when the formal negotiations were made, I proposed a change. Sun Quan's younger brother can also be a hostage, but Zhou Yu's wife must be added. ”

"I didn't know what Sun Quan's real purpose was at the time, considering that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu didn't have the sincerity to be appeased, so I also talked nonsense, who knew that Zhang Zhao would come to marry the next day, and then I suddenly realized."

"The situation in Jiangdong is very critical, and we must get help from Hebei, and Hebei helps Jiangdong contain Cao Cao, which is also in the interests of Hebei, and Sun Quan is not afraid that we will not send troops. Therefore, he resolutely refused the request to be held hostage and controlled by Hebei in the future. In addition, after the situation in Jiangdong stabilized, in order to gain time for himself to develop his strength, Sun Quan secretly decided to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others, so as to achieve a situation in which all forces stood together. If Sun Quan wants to step on two boats, he can't get too close to Hebei, let alone send him to Jinyang, so as not to encounter too much resistance when discussing peace with Cao Cao and Liu Biao. Sun Quan was reluctant to send a pledge, but he wanted to get our help as soon as possible, so he took advantage of the opportunity of me asking Zhou Yu for a pledge, provoked Zhou Yu, and joined forces with Zhou Yu to put pressure on Mrs. Sun, bribing me by marriage, hoping that I would persuade Jinyang to send troops as soon as possible through the relationship between the general and Zhong Yuan and Xiao Lan. Chen Hao looked at Li Hong worriedly, and said with an embarrassed expression: "If Jiangdong doesn't give him a question, even if he is appeased, it will be a failure." If I refuse to marry again at this time, it will be equivalent to completely tearing my face with Jiangdong. In desperation, Jiangdong may ignore the internal rebellion and fight Cao Cao and Liu on the Yangtze River. We were forced to help. But because of the failure of the appeasement, Jiangdong will not be grateful to us, nor will he contain Cao Cao and Liu Biao in the Jiangdong area when we attack Luoyang. The two sides weigh up, so ......"

"So you married Brother Wentai's daughter?" Li Hong joked,

"It seems that Sun Quan is indeed shameless, but what about you? You are Brother Wentai's classmate, and you actually married Brother Wentai's daughter, and you married without permission on the way out. Aren't you also shameless, and you are so cowardly that you don't even want your head anymore? ”

"General......" Chen Hao was very scared when he saw Li Hong angry, but suddenly heard Li Hong scolding himself for being shameless and bold, without saying anything about violating the law, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, knowing that the general had no intention of punishing himself, he hurriedly knelt down to defend himself,

"General, the situation was urgent at that time, I could only agree, otherwise the consequences would be serious and ......"

"And what......" Li Hong tapped his fingers on the case,

"Do you have a reason? I wanted to kill you just now. ”

"Hehe...... Chen smiled embarrassedly,

"I thought you were scolding Sun Quan and Zhou Yu."

"You can still laugh?" Li Hong couldn't help but laugh bitterly,

"If you go back like this, Zhong Yuan, Xiao Lan, and many of your classmates will probably break off their friendship with you."

"How can it be that serious?" Chen Hao said indifferently,

"I married in Jiangdong, although it violated the law, but it still helped the court to appease Jiangdong. This is a stopgap measure, and it is purely a desperate move. Otherwise, if you give me ten heads, I wouldn't dare do such a thing. Li Hong looked at Chen Hao in surprise,

"Yiqian, your skin is not ordinarily thick."

"General, since you sent me to Jiangdong to appease me, and let me act cheaply at a critical moment, of course I can't live up to your trust. In any case, I will try to achieve the purpose of this trip. Chen Hao said with a hippie smile,

"General, you have to help me."

"You're brazen and you're going to drag me in." Li Hong shook his head again and again,

"You immediately write to the court and make things clear. With Zhong Yuan and Xiao Lan, they intercede with you in Jinyang, and there will be no major events, but impeachment is still inevitable. ”

"General, can I not go back to Jinyang?" Chen Hao hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"It's fine." Li Hong nodded,

"You are a scholar who knows the law and violates the law, and you can't do it anyway. You just stay in the line. ”

"I don't want to stay in Xingyuan." Chen Hao arched his hand and said,

"I'll be a lieutenant in the army and lead the army to fight."

"What qualifications do you have to ask for this and that?" Li Hong said angrily,

"Stay in Xingyuan for now." Chen Hao didn't dare to say more, so he bowed down and said goodbye. Just took a few steps, Li Hong shouted him again,

"Where is Brother Wentai's daughter now?"

"At the castle inn."

"You take her into the line and let her live with her wife for the time being."

"Why?"

"Brother Wentai's daughter is married, and she wants to be beautiful, what are you hiding it?" Li Hong said angrily,

"You don't have an overlord to take a bow, do you?"

"No, no......" Chen Hao was startled and shook his hand again and again,

"I'm in a hurry to come back, I haven't done anything."

"That's good, if you lie to me, I castrate you." Li Hong snorted coldly a few times, and then said,

"I'll talk to Boyang (Sun Ben) specifically, and when the situation in Jiangdong stabilizes, ask Jiangdong to send someone to marry the bride in strict accordance with the six etiquette."

"Sun Quan is anxious to marry his sister, we are not in a hurry, we have time. We are marrying, not coercion, not blackmail, and not blatantly plundering, so we must make the happy event a little grander, so that Mrs. Sun can feel Hebei's respect and sincerity for Jiangdong. At present, this marriage is a good thing for us, and if the friendly relations between Hebei and Jiangdong can be maintained for a longer time, it will be very beneficial for us to attack Luoyang and take the Central Plains. Chen Hao had already understood what the general meant at this moment.

In order to help himself get rid of his crimes, the general planned to make public the marriage between Hebei and Jiangdong. Although his identity is not very respectful, he has a lot of power behind him, and he is also a group of forces that are closely related to Sun Jian, the general of the captivity.

Once this marriage spreads, the influence is still very large, and with the current status of Mrs. Sun in Jiangdong, it is very likely to prolong the time for Hebei and Jiangdong to maintain an alliance relationship.

Originally, this was an extremely detrimental thing to his future, but the general turned his hands into clouds and rain, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a state affair and a good thing.

If Hebei benefits from this in the future, it is very likely that he will be rewarded by the imperial court. A general is a general, powerful.

Chen Hao knelt down happily, and just after two sycophants, Li Hong spoke again, and this sentence immediately made Chen Hao stupid.

"How do you explain it to the Hedong Wei family?" Chen Hao's wife is from the Hedong Wei family and is the younger sister of the current head of the family, Wei Che.

There were many people who were the ministers of the court, and there were Wei Che, Wei Gu, Wei Qian, Wei Zhen and others with higher official positions.

In the past, the relationship between Beijiang and the Wei family has always been very good, but since Beijiang tried to force the Wei family to withdraw from the marriage in order to fulfill Zhao Yun and Cai Yan, the relationship between the two sides has become very tense for a while.

At that time, it was Xiao Lan who presided over the Hedong trip that forced the Wei family to withdraw from the marriage. Later, in order to improve the relationship with the Hedong Wei valve, Xiao Lan thought of many ways, one of the important things was to promote the relationship between Chen Hao and the Wei family, which made the relationship between the two parties gradually become close.

Chen Hao didn't think about this problem on the way back, but he couldn't do anything. Chen Hao's status in northern Xinjiang is very special.

At the beginning, in order to stabilize the northern Xinjiang, Li Hong specially wrote to the imperial court and set up a supervision and imperial history office in northern Xinjiang.

Later, the eldest princess went to northern Xinjiang, rebuilt the imperial court, and replaced the imperial history office with the imperial history platform, and Chen Hao has been serving in the Shitai since then.

If the Imperial Historian is not there, all the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory will be handled by him with full authority, and the power is still there, and he is also one of the hot figures in Jinyang.

The key to Wei Valve's willingness to marry Chen Hao, who was born in an inferior scholar family, is that he has taken a fancy to his glorious future.

This is known as the all-round talent of civil and military affairs in Jinyang

"Big Axe" will definitely be the best candidate for one of the three public in the future. According to Chen Hao's prominent status, it is normal to marry another wife and concubine, but the problem is that he is marrying the daughter of the Jiangdong Sun family.

The Jiangdong Sun family was rebellious in the past, and now they are forced to be appeased, but what about the future? If he rebels again in the future, it will not only seriously affect Chen Hao's personal future, but also involve the vital interests of the Wei Valve.

The Wei Valve will definitely do everything in his power to prevent this marriage, and may even have a fierce conflict with Li Wei, Xiao Lan and others.

"You have been doing imperial history in Hebei for more than ten years, and you have offended many people, so it is not bad to take this opportunity to return to the army." Li Hong looked at Chen Hao, who had a sad face, and said,

"I'll handle the Wei family's affairs, so don't worry." Chen Hao was grateful, kneeling on the ground and not knowing what to say.

"You go to the city immediately and fetch the people, and I will pick you up and wash the dust at night." Li Hong waved his hand and told him to leave,

"There are some things that we'll talk about in the evening." Wang Ling and any of them walked into the big tent one after another.

"Xuzhou's send-off team will soon enter the border of Yanzhou, and the two of you will take the iron horse to pick it up." Li Hong roughly said the route,

"Sai Feng has already led people to rush there first. After you meet, walk fifty miles a day, not too fast. ”

"I heard that the left chariot cavalry general Xian Yu is also going to come to congratulate in person, is it true?" Ask casually.

"Yes, there are a lot of people coming to Youzhou this time." Li Hong said with a smile,

"Don't tell the priest, I'm going to surprise him."

"Lord Xu Shao of Taichangqing, Lord Zhang Yan, General of the Left Guard, Lord Lu Bu, Lord Zuo Yan, Captain of Sili, Lord Zuo Yan, Lord Shetian Chou, the Right Servant of Shangshu, Lord Sima Huangyue of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, ......" Wang Ling was very surprised when he saw the roster on the case,

"The eldest princess also sent someone?"

"People are coming from all over the country, and this time it should be very lively." Li Hong stretched out tiredly and said slowly,

"We must wait until the people from outside the city arrive before we can hold a wedding ceremony."

"What does the general mean is that this time, there are many other Hu kings from outside the Saiwai who have also come to congratulate in person?"

"Of course." Li Hong said,

"A Hu person who was born in the Karasuma tribe can marry the daughter of a high-ranking family in the Central Plains as a warrior of the Han Dynasty, which is a shock, a strong shock, whether it is for the Hu tribes outside the Saiwai or for the wealthy men of the Han Dynasty. Today's Han is no longer the same as the Han of the past. But many people don't know what's different. This grand wedding gift may be able to tell those who are ignorant a clear and unambiguous answer. Fu Gan hurriedly came to report, and the two adults of Jiangdong, Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi, asked to see him.

"General, you promised me that you would definitely send troops to Xuzhou to rescue Jiangdong, is this true or false?" Sun Ben's face turned angry and asked very unceremoniously.

"What? Do you suspect that I won't go to the rescue of Koto? Li Hong asked with a smile as he stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to sit down.

"General, I know that you have always kept your promises, but this time you ......" Zhu Zhi had just recovered from his serious injuries, his body had lost a lot of weight, and he had little strength to speak, he hesitated for a moment, and mustered up the courage to ask,

"I heard in the city that the general was about to marry Cao Cao's daughter for one of his subordinates, is it true?"

"It does." Li Hong looked calm and said with a slight smile,

"My subordinate is called Sai Feng, and he is the captain of the Changshui Battalion. His father was Karasuma Qu Shuai Heng Sacrifice, who once defended the northern frontier with me, fought in Xiliang, and fought far away in the desert, with outstanding achievements, and later died in Sunset Plain. This boy is smart, studious, brave in battle, and the best of the young generals of this dynasty, and I have always regarded it as my own. Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi's faces became more and more ugly.

Li Hong was a little surprised,

"What? Brother Junli and Boyang disagree with this? Sun Ben was indignant. Zhu Zhi sighed,

"General, since you and Cao Cao have married and negotiated peace, how can you save Jiangdong?"

"Why can't I save Koto?" Li Hong asked strangely,

"Cao Cao has submitted to the imperial court, Jiangdong has also returned to the imperial court, you are all officials of the imperial court stationed in various places, and you must obey the will of the imperial court. The imperial court ordered you to shake hands and make peace, and you must stop the attack, can't this still save your Jiangdong in danger? Sun Ben scoffed,

"General, say a few useful words. If the general is unwilling to help us, then we will leave Hebei immediately and fight Cao Cao to the death. Zhu Zhi gently pushed Sun Ben and signaled him not to provoke Li Hong.

"General, did Jiangdong refuse to be appeased?"

"It's about the same as refusal." Li Hong nodded,

"Of the three appeasement conditions proposed by the imperial court, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did not agree to any of them."

"Sun Quan? Zhou Yu? Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi were shocked,

"Bethfuta...... He's dead? ”

"Dead." Li Hong roughly said what Chen Hao said,

"The situation in Jiangdong is very critical right now, but Sun Quan and Zhou Yu seem to have forgotten what loyalty is. They cherish their wives and children more than they cherish their men. Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi were so sad that they sat there for a long time without speaking.

"General, just now you said that Zhongmou (Sun Quan) married his sister Shangxiang to Lord Chen Hao." Zhu Zhi suddenly thought of something,

"General, that is, Jiangdong and Hebei also have a marriage relationship."

"I can admit that this is a marriage between Hebei and Jiangdong, but so far, they have not held a wedding ceremony." Li Hong said lightly,

Cao Cao didn't know that Jiangdong also had the intention of returning to the imperial court, so he hurriedly sent his daughter to complete the marriage, apparently to attack Jiangdong immediately. You're running out of time. Zhu Zhi suddenly woke up.

Hebei's target was Luoyang, and Li Hong obviously had no intention of attacking Xuzhou, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the marriage and peace between the two sides to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Jiangdong, and to use Jiangdong to contain Cao Cao, so as to do his best to fight Luoyang without worry.

"When will the wedding ceremony be held?"

"We can delay it for a few days." Li Hong said,

"If you send a letter back now, and ask Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to immediately send a team to Dingtao, I can hold this wedding ceremony on the same day."

"Same day?" Zhu Zhi said in surprise,

"General, then it's decided, I'll immediately write to Jiangdong." After sending Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi away, Li Hong returned to the big tent and ordered Fu Gan and Zhao Xing to immediately write a recital.

Chen Hao's goal of going south to Jiangdong has been achieved, and we can be sure that Jiangdong Sun Ce is dead, and Jiangdong is facing a great crisis.

However, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, the two rebels, still had no intention of submitting to the imperial court even in this critical situation.

Therefore, we can conclude that Jiangdong will definitely become a huge obstacle to the imperial court to pacify the world in the future, and the imperial court should take precautions and organize and train the Han naval division as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the army to recover Jiangdong in the future.

The marriage between Chen Hao and the Sun family in Jiangdong brought an opportunity for the imperial court to easily solve the affairs of Xuzhou and Jiangdong.

Cao Cao saw that we were marrying and negotiating peace with the Sun family in Jiangdong at the same time, and he did not dare to rashly attack Jiangdong no matter what, so that the danger of Jiangdong would be solved.

I took advantage of the fact that Xuzhou and Jiangdong were unable to move each other, and quickly requisitioned half of the troops from the army threatening Xuzhou to rush to the Yingchuan battlefield, transforming the diversion attack that should have been on the Henan battlefield into a powerful attack on the Yingchuan battlefield.

Thus, he used the short time to contain the attack to complete the capture of Yingchuan, cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Yuzhou and Jingzhou, encircled Luoyang, attracted all Yuan Shao's army to the eight passes of Gyeonggi, and bought enough time for the army attacking Guanzhong to defeat Han Sui and gain absolute superiority in troops.

Once Guanzhong, Guanxi, and Yingchuan are taken by us successively, the time for the army to conquer Luoyang will be greatly shortened.

"General, let's fight Yingchuan?" Fu Gan asked worriedly,

"Qing and Yanzhou are not yet stable, and now we can't get food, and the food given to us by the imperial court is only a month's supply, can we take Yingchuan?"

"Solve it on the spot, Yingchuan must have food."

"General, now that Liu Biao's army in Jingzhou has entered Jiangdong, if Cao Cao is desperate and goes all out to storm Jiangdong, then Jiangdong is not in danger?" Zhao Xing also asked in surprise.

"Send someone to contact Yuan Yao and Liu Ye, and ask them to immediately turn around and feint to attack Jiujiang, so that Cao Cao will suffer from the enemy on his back." Li Hong said with a smile,

"It's time for Yuan Yao to come back. If my estimate is correct, Cao Cao is very likely to fight Yuan Yao first, and then Jiangdong. Who is Cao Cao? Will he put Yuan Yao, the enemy, behind him when he fights Jiangdong? Think about how Yuan Shu beat him back then? How dare he forget the lessons of the past? ”

"Feint to attack Jiujiang?" Zhao Xing hesitated,

"Could it be that the general wants Yuan Yao to take his men and horses all the way back to the Central Plains?"

"No, let him enter Yuzhou, fight Runan, attract Liu Bei's attention, and contain Liu Bei's forces, so that our army can launch a surprise attack on Yingchuan." Li Hong pointed at Fu Gan and said,

"Urgently order Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wu Xiong, and Guan Hai to each bring 5,000 men and horses, and hurry to Chenliu and Yongqiu to meet Yan Liang, Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Jiang Wu, Wang Dang, and Zhang Xiu, and prepare to attack Yingchuan."

"When to attack?"

"The day of marriage is the time when the army attacks." Jump to
