Chapter 20, the small branch of the halberd

Yongya is Liu Bang's hair, and he was initially anti-Qin, but soon he raised Feng County to Wei, and after a long time, he finally returned to Liu Bang's command. When Liu Bang won the world, he was afraid that the generals would rebel, so he asked Zhang Liang for his plan. Zhang Liang asked, who is the person you hate the most in your life? Liu Bang said: "Yongya and I have been embarrassed and humiliated, I want to kill it, and I have a lot of merit, so I can't bear it." Zhang Liang therefore built: "Now it is urgent to seal the Yongya first to show the ministers, and when the ministers see the Yongya seal, everyone will be self-reliant." ”

So it was Xun who said, "If you are disloyal for one day, you won't need it for a lifetime", people like Chen Gong who have a history of rebellion, you shouldn't reuse it, even if you imagine Liu Bang like that, just to show his own magnanimity, it should also be placed alongside the generals, and there is no reason to raise it to the heads of the generals to do Zhang Liang and Xiao He.

In fact, it was Xun who secretly changed the concept here, Chen Gong did rebel, but it was not the anti-Lu Bu, but the anti-Cao Cao, if it is compared to the heroes of the early Han Dynasty, it should be compared to Han Xin and Chen Ping, not than Yongya. But his last sentence was not mainly for Lu Bu, but for the generals sitting there-how can he stand above the monarch with such a thing as Chen Gong?

Chen Gong is indeed very capable, can strategize, and can be a general, and once had the great grace of welcoming Lu Bu into Yan, if it weren't for the super fierce man like Cao Cao, maybe he would really be able to help Lu Bu and succeed early. Therefore, Lu Bu believed in it very much, and took it as an arm, in the original history, even if Chen Gong was suspected of colluding with Yuan Shu and inciting Hao Meng to rebel, Lu Bu finally endured it with a breath of hard air.

But if there is a group, there must be factions, and if there are factions, there will be contradictions, since Chen Gong is favored. It will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Lu Bu's old generals such as Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others - this is from when Wei Xu came to greet Shixun just now. Don't give Chen Gong a good look. It's Hongsuke who can get a glimpse of the clues. In addition, Chen Gongtai is not a character who is as good at uniting his colleagues as Zhuge Liang, or at least good at uniting most people-he was in the same column as Xunchu when he arrived in Yanzhou, so he naturally knew this-so he deliberately suppressed Chen Gong to curry favor with the generals. Sure enough, when Wei Xu and the others heard this, they all smiled, but Chen Gong couldn't help but vomit blood in his mouth, and fell backwards.

Shixun couldn't help but be taken aback. My heart said, ah, am I going to scold Chen Gongtai to death today? It seems that Zhuge Liang's scolding of Wang Lang to death in the romance is not a fiction from Xiangyu, it is indeed something that may happen in reality.

Chen Gong is too bitter.

His current status in the LΓΌ Bu group has declined greatly compared to when he occupied Xuzhou in the original history, because after helping LΓΌ Bu to enter Liangzhou, there was an additional group of Liangzhou natives in this political group to participate in the struggle for power and profit. Originally, in history, Lu Bu was born in Xuzhou from Liu Bei's hands, and Xuzhou scholars or hearts were towards the imperial court. or still in love with Liu Bei, few are willing to give advice to Lu Bu - either like Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son. On the surface, he is loyal and unlimited, but in fact, he secretly dismantles the stage. And this time, Mu Liang, Lu Bu came with the official edict of the imperial court, and the few Liangzhou assassins before him were not very popular, so Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang and others were all happy to come out and cut a large piece of cake ruthlessly.

In particular, although the natives of Liangzhou are scholars, they have been in turmoil in their hometown for many years, and the people are fierce, and they are also involved in bow horses, and they have more common language with the generals of the state, so they joined hands to attack the Kwantung faction represented by Chen Gong. Lu Bu went to attack Jincheng and left some second-rate troops for Chen Gong to protect the eastern front, which meant that he would be scattered and scattered.

Chen Gongtai was unwilling to be aggrieved, and hated Cao Cao, so he secretly communicated with Liu Bei and entered Guanzhong, originally planning to win a few battles, so that Lu Bu was impressed by him, but unexpectedly lost his troops in a battle with Xiahou Yuan, but was reprimanded by Lu Bu. After planning the decisive battle for several days, and preventing Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang and others from making bad things behind their backs, and preventing Cao Ying from sending people to lobby Lu Bu, he was already tired and in a sub-healthy state, and he was scolded by Shixun again by pointing his nose to his face, and he couldn't help but be angry at the bullfight, but he was clumsy and clumsy, and it was difficult to refute, so his throat was sweet in his eyes, and his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground on the spot.

Lu Bu frowned and glanced at him, and ordered: "After Fugongtai enters, the doctor will be diagnosed and treated." With this lukewarm attitude, if Chen Gong is still awake, he will be so angry that he will vomit blood for the second time.

When Chen Gong left the table, all the generals came over to surround Shi Xun, saying that what you said is quite reasonable, but since we have come to Guanzhong with the lord, do we have to take the initiative to retreat without a battle? We...... Oh no, what good is my Lord to gain? Since Cao Cao sent a servant to lobby, he must have to offer some conditions as a bargaining chip, right?

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "Since General Lu has been promoted, does Qing and Wait An have empty hands?" There will be rewards in the imperial court. "Since Lu Bu has been promoted, of course you must also be knighted, this is easy to say. Then he turned to Lu Bu and raised his glass: "The general wants to serve Liangzhou, this is easy to hear, I expect that within three months, the imperial court will have an edict." Xun Xian is the general He. ”

Lu Bu had a drink with Shi Xun, then shook his head, and said that this is not enough: "What Hongfu Shicai said, if we have insufficient food, even if we have Chang'an, it will be difficult to defend it for a long time. That is, what I need, Hongfu should know. ”

Shi Xun nodded, saying that you want grain and grass, this thing is easy to do-"100,000 stone valley, 100,000 stone grass, you can do it in a moment." However, if he loses this way, he is afraid that the general will get food and go eastward, and the Duke of Wei will not dare to fight. And when the general retreats, he will send people to Liangzhou, thinking that he will restore the capital of the Western Regions. ”

Aren't you just short of food? It's all good to say, as long as you withdraw from the army, we can give it away. You can also know from this how strong my Wei family's family is, right? If you're locked in a long-term battle, you really don't have much chance of winning.

Lu Bu was waiting for his approval, and suddenly heard Chen Gong's eager voice at the door of the tent: "Lord, don't do it!" ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but wrinkle his brows, and said in his heart that this guy's life is really big, not only did he not die of anger, but he also woke up in the blink of an eye. Well, if you want to continue to look for smoke, I've drunk enough wine and my throat is moisturized, just enough to scold you to death in one breath!

Lu Bu also frowned, feeling unhappy in his heart. Why did he come to the rescue of Chen Gong this time? First, because Chen Gong was deflated, he couldn't get his face up, and he had to repay Cao Cao; The second is that the generals will follow themselves for many years. But it has the size of a golden city. There is little to gain. So I wanted to come to Guanzhong to make up for some, so as not to chill the hearts of the generals under my command. Now if you don't use soldiers, you can get 200,000 stone grain and grass, if you have food, you can recruit more troops, and if you recruit soldiers, you can open up a larger territory in the west.

There is never a sure winner in the war, why would the generals encourage him to run away. Do you all like to fight so much? Don't you know that there may be dead people on the battlefield, and even you may be shrouded in horse leather? However, for this reason, those who seek fame and fortune are also. Now that Xun has promised to promote them and promised to deliver supplies to Liangzhou, what else is there to dissatisfaction with? If you really want to kill a bloody pestle, you may not be able to get real profits, are you Chen Gongtai willing to be satisfied?

So not only Lu Bu, but all the generals turned around and looked at Chen Gong angrily. Chen Gong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood again, and after his heart finished speaking, he was angry. I guess I won't be able to persuade me to turn back - but it's annoying that it's Xun, and he only moves three inches of his tongue. That is, bad for me! No, I can't make him feel betterβ€”

"The lord must not allow it, lest he will regret it. should be taken as a hostage, in order to Cao Cao's promise. ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but be careful when he heard this, and his liver trembled again, but Lu Bu nodded again and again: "What the public platform said is true." "Turn to Shixun: "Please Hongfu and his party from Liangzhou, so that the cloth can be the friendship of the landlord." ”

Yeshun just deducted it. In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Bu immediately sent someone to summon Liu Bei to come and discuss the plan at the meeting place the day before yesterday. Liu Bei also thought that Lu Bu was going to discuss with him about the decisive battle with Cao Jun in a few days, so he came in a hurry, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to say as soon as they met: "Our army has no food and straw, and it is difficult to fight for a long time, so I ask the virtuous brother to help with 200,000 grains and grass for military needs." ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard it - what grain and grass are 200,000? What unit? I may still be able to take out 200,000 grains or 200,000 roots...... "I really don't hide it from the prince, and the reserve army will also be exhausted." It is necessary to have a decisive battle with Cao Cao as soon as possible and capture Chang'an, which can be ......"

Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted Liu Bei's words: "The grain stored in Chang'an City will probably be eaten up, and all the stored grain and grass will be burned by the new losers in the Kanto region, and a fire can be burned...... "In order to prevent fire and theft, the procedures are very complicated and strict, and it is not so easy to say "strong walls and clear the wilderness". However, it is estimated that the local secret grain in Chang'an City has already been eaten, and the new grain that has just been transported from Kanto is all piled up in the open air for the sake of daily military supplies, and it will all be burned out by a fire. Can you guarantee that after we capture Chang'an, we can get enough military rations? Don't take the risk.

"The army has no food and straw, and it is impossible to fight, so it is better to retire temporarily in the future."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and persuaded him hard, but Lu Bu finally got annoyed - "To retreat or not, you can ask the sky." He immediately ordered a halberd to be set up in the wilderness, a hundred steps apart, and then looked around at everyone: "All the kings look at the small branch of the halberd, if the one in the middle is led away, if it is not hit, it can be a decisive battle with Cao." ”

The halberd has two blades, one blade is straight and the other blade is horizontal, to the end of the Han Dynasty, the shape has changed, the horizontal blade is picked, and the shape is like a fork. It is not easy to shoot a small branch that is not too big, and the difficulty coefficient is even higher. However, Lu Fengxian bent his bow like a full moon, stopped firing, and was unexpectedly impartial, and the small branch in the middle - Liangzhou side thundered, and everyone in Yizhou couldn't help but look at each other, having nothing to say.

Immediately, Lu Bu put away his bow and shouted: "The will of heaven cannot be violated!" Turning over and getting on the horse, he flashed, and he didn't even leave a polite word for Liu Bei.

The Liangzhou army retreated on the same day, Liu Bei had no choice, the grain was about to run out, and the rear transportation was difficult to keep up in time - and even Yizhou had no reserves left, Pang Tong had already written to call it bitter several times - and had to retreat gloomily and return to Hanzhong. So Cao Cao sent an army to recover the counties west of Yongshui, and the magistrate of Yongxian County was late in getting the news, and he did not have time to retreat with Liu Bei, and was held by the Wei army, that is, in front of the city gate.

Over there, Lu Bu returned to Liangzhou safely with Shixun, and Chen Gong was so angry that he would sigh in the tent every night. This night, a close trust Shi came to report: "It is appropriate to see Zhao Weizhang secretly going to the Hongfu account." When Chen Gong heard this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said hatefully: "He will secretly collude and want to plot against General Lu and surrender to Cao Cao!" ”

Lai Shi approached Chen Gong and said in a low voice: "I know that the lord is a meritorious person, but there is no need to worry about it, and it is okay to send a strong man." One is to eliminate the traitors, with the eyes and ears of General Lu, and the other is to die, then Cao Cao will not come with food, and the lord can say that General Lu will seek to pass the gate again! (To be continued......)

PS: There are two more characters in this chapter. One is Feng Yin, who said that he turned his back on Cao and voted for Liu, and the end was not bad? The second is @ Mourning Dajun, who trusts Shi Lai Houzhi for Chen Gong's relatives. Everyone is happy to see it, please vote for a few monthly passes. And then I'll try to come back before midnight, do you believe it? R1292
