Chapter 103: Cao Cao wants to attack Xu
Is Lu Bu stupid? Actually, he's not stupid!
He knew that he needed a place to settle down, so he took refuge in Liu Bei. And the first stop he went east in history was also to go to Shangdang County to seek refuge with Zhang Yang. It's just that Zhang Yang was worried about him, so he went east to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, and in the end Yuan Shao didn't stay well there, so he came to Yanzhou, and finally took Puyang and other places with the help of Chen Gong, and almost destroyed Cao Cao's lair.
That is, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu resisted desperately, and finally blocked Lu Bu on the line of Chen Liu.
At the beginning of his journey to the east, it was obvious that Lu Bu had not thought about being self-reliant. He is a military general himself, and he just wants to be able to settle down. The pursuit is the glory of martial arts and generals, not to become a prince.
It's just that the princes dislike him, making him feel that the world is so big that there is no place for him, so he embarked on the road of hegemony. Chen Gong is somewhat responsible for inciting him at this point.
Oh, by the way, now Chen Gong is a military advisor under Liu Bei, and he is ordered to garrison Yuzhou. I don't think I have this opportunity to get involved with Lu Bu, but who knows what will happen in the future?
LĂź Bu sought a place to live, but did not recognize Liu Bei as his lord. This left a room for him to leave again, in fact, before Liu Bei really gained his loyalty, he thought that he would be the head of the army for a period of time who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement. According to the official history, when he went to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Liu Bei, he actually came like this.
It's just that Zhang Fei stirred up the situation, so he turned against Liu Bei again, and finally occupied Xuzhou.
In this time and space, Zhang Fei was killed by Fang Yun early, and the martial souls were fused by him, so it was unlikely that anything bad would happen. Liu Bei wouldn't do this kind of thing, and Guan Yu, Tai Shici and Wei Yan didn't bother to do this kind of thing. I can't say hello, hello, everyone, it's not a strange thing that Lu Bu was really subdued by Liu Bei.
After taking refuge in Liu Bei, the men and horses under Lu Bu were somewhat streamlined. 50,000 people were reduced to 30,000, and the veterans or those who were too young were all returned. At the same time, he also helped Lu Bu settle the families of the soldiers, and Lu Bu had no complaints about this, after receiving the order. He went to the Ruyin area to defend it, mainly to resist the invasion of Yuan Shu.
In this regard, Liu Bei also left a hand.
The male did bring Ruyin to Lu Bu, but their family stayed in Nanyang. In other words, these family members. It was the hostage in Liu Bei's hands. With his control of people's hearts, as well as the guidance of public opinion. As long as Lu Bu rebels, then he will let Lu Bu's soldiers turn against Lu Bu as soon as possible.
And no matter what Lu Bu is, he is just an ancient military general, and he may know that he is marching and fighting. But if you do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, you obviously can't do it at all, and you won't be aware of it.
At the same time, on the Chang'an side, the situation that had been difficult to settle down turned out to be chaotic again because of Lu Bu's departure. The main reason is that when Lu Bu left, he looted in Yongzhou, destroying the economic resources that had just recovered a little here. What's worse is that because of his relationship, this year's spring ploughing has become a problem. Wang Yun tried his best to remedy it.
Han Sui realized that the opportunity had come, and he also took the opportunity to take over the military power, and then installed his cronies in important departments. He has only one goal, that is, to truly occupy the Chang'an court and become the next Dong Zhuo. It's just that he is different from Dong Zhuo, because he is a celebrity and a literati, so he has a way to appease the family, and then get the support of the family!
There is one person who is very eye-catching, and that is Situ Wang Yun. This man has become a target that he must kill. But now it is not firmly established. His little life was saved first. A literati without military power was nothing more than a soft persimmon in this period.
Wang Yun is not easy to get along with, he seems to have realized Han Sui's intentions a long time ago, and he is also planning something. Don't look at this little old man who is not kind. The idea at the critical moment can always establish miraculous feats, Yuan Shao is Dong Zhuo who Cao Cao can't assassinate, and he died in his discord. Han Sui, can you help him?
At the same time, Xiliang also began to shuffle. The original officials began to be assessed by Fang Yun. Those who are qualified will continue to be retained, and those who are not qualified will be removed or demoted. The history of Liangzhou Thorn was replaced by Du Raid. He was able to take such a position at a young age, but no one objected, just because Du Xi deserved this position.
In terms of the army, Fang Yun did not start, Ma Chao was still the commander of this army. The difference is that they have changed from warlords to an army, at most an army that listens to the tune and does not listen to the propaganda.
This is also Ma Chao's face for Fang Yun, who made Ma Teng live a very nourishing life in Jinyang? Seeing the resurgence of the Ma clan, Ma Teng naturally told this son, who he was most worried about, to be careful. On the one hand, don't do anything to compete with the government for power and profit; On the one hand, it is necessary to do a good job in the army without relaxation.
This is also Ma Teng's caution, after all, no one can guarantee that after Fang Yun takes over the military power, he will not kill them to prevent future troubles. In all dynasties, there have been warlords who have been exterminated, but there have been no warlords who can be surrendered. Although Ma Teng has not experienced so many times and has so much insight, he still understands this truth.
As for the family in Liangzhou, Fang Yun also evilly promised one country, two systems, and guaranteed that the system would not change within ten years. In ancient times, when communications were not developed, these families obviously did not know the situation in Jizhou, so they chose to compromise.
Not long after, this matter was reported by the newspaper, and the Jizhou family, who knew about it, mourned for three seconds for these Liangzhou families, who were also of class. sighed in my heart: Another group of families have fallen into the pit......
I heard that there are still gambling houses in Jinyang that are open, betting on when those Liangzhou families will take the initiative to choose to assimilate. Of course, this newspaper did not report it, so it can only be regarded as an urban legend.
Time passed little by little, and all the princes stopped the pace of war. They need to settle down for a year or two to digest the dividends of their war, or they need to lick their wounds in the middle of nowhere. The original lively 192 years seem to have passed very easily.
During the period, there was a bit of a big event, that is, during the Qingming Festival, Fang Yun organized another large-scale worship ceremony. Pay tribute to the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who sacrificed for the great cause, as well as the soldiers and generals of the Great Han Dynasty who died later.
Last year, he went to war with Dong Zhuo, so he asked Xi Zhicai and Xie Yuan to hold a sacrificial ceremony instead of him. This year is rare, so naturally I have to preside over it in person. It is precisely because of this personal memorial again and again that the soldiers feel the importance of the government to them, coupled with generous pensions and other subsidies, even if the soldiers are allowed to die on the battlefield, they do not hesitate.
Of course, if you can, you don't need them like this, you just need to bring back the victory!
Potato, sweet potato and corn harvests began, and the huge yield made Ren Jun, who manages the farm, cry silently. They didn't laugh at him, they just cried with joy too. I don't need to say how these crops taste, but with these grains, I don't think I will have to worry about famine anymore!
Not to mention, there are also oil crops such as peanuts, which supplement the market for edible meat and ensure adequate fat absorption.
In this way, the year 193 is reached, and what is really noteworthy in this year is probably one thing.
It was a whim of Cao Cao, he thought that he had already established himself in the land of Yanzhou, and there was no major problem, at most, he had given up the side that often mocked him to slaughter him a few years ago.
Cao Cao didn't know that Bian Rang represented the power of the scribes, and his ridicule was mainly because Cao Cao was born in the eunuch party and had not yet been able to truly gain the recognition of the family, especially the scribes. Cao Cao's actions directly angered the family, and if he didn't handle it properly, he would definitely be unlucky.
Zhengshi Chen Gong also left Cao Cao because of this, and then it seems that in order to prove his correctness, he helped Lu Bu easily capture Yanzhou, almost making Cao Cao really have no nest.
This also sounded a wake-up call to Cao Cao, that is, the problem of the family, in the end, we still have to find a way to solve it. It's just that now, Chen Gong has been under Liu Bei, and Lu Bu has also gone to Ruyin to garrison, but I am afraid that history will not repeat itself.
In short, Cao Cao, who had no worries, felt that since he had settled down, he should also take over his father Cao Song, who had returned to his ancestral home (Cao Teng's former residence). At the beginning, Cao Song raised troops in order to help him, but he took out all the family property of Qian County. Later, he had to return to live in Cao Teng's old house in Xuzhou.
At the beginning, he was just an existence like a volunteer, but he didn't want to unknowingly become the actual control of Yanzhou. even played to the imperial court, showing himself as the history of Yanzhou's assassination.
If you can't take your father over and enjoy the blessings, what's the point of being it?
So I sent a letter to Cao Song and told him: Come and enjoy the blessings, my son misses you!
Cao Song has made a lot of money in the past two years with Cao Teng's family property, and it happened that Cao Cao called him, so he also counted the family property and went to Yanzhou with more than 30 cars.
During this period, I visited Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, mainly because they had a little friendship before. Knowing that he was going to Yanzhou's son to enjoy his blessings, Tao Qian also did his best to be a landlord and sent someone to escort Cao Song out of Xuzhou.
It's just that he sent the wrong person and sent Zhang Min, one of the leaders of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who disdained to go to Fang Yun, to escort him. After Zhang Min took refuge in Tao Qian, because he was born in the Yellow Turban Army and was a martial artist, he was excluded by the family and the old ministers, and he was not comfortable. I was angry, but on the way to escort it, I saw that most of the thirty cars were loaded with gold, silver and jewelry......
The result is obvious, Cao Song was killed by him, the jewels were divided, and then they went their separate ways. Leaving a mess, it was reported to Tao Qian by the person who found the murder scene later, and even the news finally came to Cao Cao's table.
"Tao Qian'er, you deceive people too much!" Cao Cao roared, and despite Xun Yu's dissuasion, he insisted on sending troops to attack Xuzhou.
Not only that, but he also vowed to slaughter all the large and small cities in Xuzhou! (To be continued.) )
PS: The major event in 193, the most important thing, was actually that Cao Cao began to attack Xuzhou.
Perhaps avenging his father is the main purpose, but there is one more thing he needs so much, you can guess what it is, of course, the territory is also counted, but it is not the main purpose.
