Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 370 The battle is imminent, Dihua's staff
Han Sui suddenly declared a break with Ma Teng, and attacked Ma Teng preemptively, causing Ma Teng to be injured and fled back to Wuguan.

The situation in Nanyang changed dramatically. Originally, Dong Zhuo's army and Liu Biao's army had already approached Wancheng and planned to attack Wancheng at any time.

Han Sui's army went north to cut off Li Jue's Xixian retreat, and went south to attack Huang Zu's rear.

The forces of all parties did not expect that it was not Gao Lan who rushed to help Wancheng, but Han Sui who broke the siege of Wancheng.

When Liu Qing received the news, nearly half a month later, he convened his staff to discuss again. Except for Jushou who was in Qingzhou, Liu Qing's main staff, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Chen Gong, and Xi Zhi were all present. .

After Liu Qing sat at the case, Xun Yu first told the new situation.

Yuan Shao sent Jiang Qi north to support Jiyin.

Tao Qian sent troops from Pengcheng, passing through Peiguo and approaching Shanyang County, intending to help Yuan Yi take back Shanyang County.

Liu Qing said to everyone: "The change in Nanyang must be Yuan's conspiracy, and Yuan's actions are not only in Nanyang, but also in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. They are frequently active. Far away, Dong Zhuo has now dispatched additional troops to aid Nanyang, and he has written to the king, requesting to take care of the situation in Yanzhou due to limited troops."

"My lord, this is a good opportunity to take control of Yanzhou!" Chen Gong said immediately, he has always been a representative figure who advocated taking Yanzhou, and he knew that Liu Qing's taking control of a place would greatly restrict the local tycoons. Zhong is also a gentleman and a powerful family background, which should be mixed.

It can only be said that Chen Gong is really a ruthless person, or in other words, a truly smart person.

He understood that even if the family gave up some benefits after King Bohai took over Yanzhou, he believed that the stable environment and his deeds would bring new development to the family.

"At this time, the battle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao intensified, and he was watching the fire from the other side, continuing to accumulate strength, and sitting back and watching the strength of both sides weaken. How could there be a good opportunity." Xun Yu refuted Chen Gong's good opportunity.

"Wen Ruo's words are wrong. The focus of the struggle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao is Nanyang. This is one. Second, Xu Rong and Duan Yao are in Yanzhou, with no more than ten thousand troops, and they have to divide them into many cities. Yuan Shao is facing the situation at this time. Yanzhou is also perfunctory, passive defense, it is the time when Yanzhou is the most empty, if we don’t take it at this time, should we wait until the battle in Nanyang is known and Yuan Shao’s soldiers are suppressing the border, then take it again?”

Chen Gong paused, and then said: "Thirdly, since the Yellow Turban, there have been turmoil in Yanzhou for three years, and in these three years, there have been wars and droughts, and the people have suffered unbearably. Fleeing from the south to Henan, this phenomenon has happened in this clan, so let’s say it’s different from ordinary people.”

It can be said that Chen Gong showed up and gave Liu Qing enough reasons.

One, stay away from the main line of the dispute between Yuan and Dong, and take advantage of it.

Second, the current strength of the enemy in Yanzhou is not strong, so it is easy to attack.

Three, save the children!No, Chen Gong is a child of Yanzhou, it should be said to save the old mother.

"What Gongtai said is indeed reasonable, but the grain harvest this autumn will be supplied to Qingzhou, and Fuyu's grain production area has not yet been expanded. The battle with Yuan Shao is not a one-off battle like Ping Huangjin, but a protracted confrontation. With Xiaomo, Yanzhou is connected to Jizhou in the north, Qingxu in the east, Yuzhou in the south, and Sili in the west. It is a must for military strategists. Therefore, the Yuan family is also bound to win Yanzhou. Only then can we enter the army."

Xun Yu continued to express his opposition, but he did not object to Chen Gong's point of view. The conditions for war may be sufficient, but the necessary preparations have not yet been made.

After hearing the speeches of the two, Liu Qing realized that fighter jets are a sufficient condition, while logistics are a necessary condition, and both are indispensable.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Chen Gong also fell silent. Naturally, he acquiesced to Xun Yu's statement. The reason why he was eager to take Yanzhou was on the one hand for the people of Yanzhou, and on the other hand for the Dongwuyang Chen family. Interests, if you don't even fight for the family, how can you talk about fighting for the interests of the country and the people of the world.

Just listen to the story of self-sacrifice for others. If someone is like this, they should be praised and praised, but you must never ask others for it.

One cannot demand others with the standards of a sage, while demanding himself with the standards of a slut. This is called double standards.

The two people's opinions are left, there is no right or wrong, so Liu Qing looked at the rest of them, Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, Zhi Cai, Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

"Wen Ruo's words are not unreasonable. Now under the lord's rule, there are still many counties and counties that have not yet been digested. There is no rush to take Yanzhou." Tian Feng, who has a steady style, euphemistically expressed his opposition to the war.

"Zhicai?" Liu Qing directly called the names.

Xi Zhicai smiled helplessly, cupped his hands and said: "The people of Qingzhou have not been properly resettled. My lord can't keep them forever. If a full-scale war breaks out in Yanzhou, then Yanzhou will also breed countless refugees."

Xi Zhicai also objected.

Finally, Liu Qing set his sights on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia knew he couldn't escape, so he said, "It's okay to fight, or it's okay not to fight!"

"That doesn't mean you didn't say anything!"

"My lord, if you insist on going to war, with the strength and accumulation of your lord's troops, you will win the battle. This is not difficult. If you don't fight, you can accumulate a lot of money and then choose an opportunity to fight. This is the right thing to do. Whether it is a war or not, it all depends on the lord's words. We shall come up with a plan and seek victory for our Lord."

Guo Jia's high EQ speech not only spoke for the "Quick Zhan faction", but also seemed to speak for the "Wait and Wait" faction, and even flattered Liu Qing, "It all depends on the master's words, I will make a plan for myself ", how comfortable it is to hear this.

Well said Fengxiao!Don't say it again next time!
In the end, the question of whether to fight Yanzhou or not was thrown back to himself by Guo Jia.

Liu Qing dragged his chin, stroked the few downy beards, thought for a long time, and slapped the table.

"Hit! Hit Tao Qian!"

How dare you help the tyrant to do evil and offend me in Shanyang County, if you can't take care of Yuan Shao, I can't take care of you!

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord's advice!"

"Oh? Where is the height?"

Liu Qing plans to test Guo Jia, because even he doesn't know it.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand to show Xun Yu and Chen Gong, and said: "Wen Ruo told Gongtai that this is not the time to start a full-scale war with Yuan Shao, but Tao Qian is a supporter of the Yuan family, and it is not enough to rule a state. It seems that Tao Qian can't wait to hand over Xuzhou to the lord, so if he seizes such an opportunity, it would be wise for the lord to grasp it!"

"Moreover!" Guo Jia continued: "Zhao Yun is stationed in Langya and can attack the East China Sea of ​​Xuzhou. Zhu Ling is stationed in Taishan and can assist Yanzhou Shanyang. Wen Yuan travels on the border of Qingxu and Yanzhou to meet Tao Qian. When the lord went to Qingzhou to flatten the Yellow Turban, he sent three sons of Zhang Liao, Zhu Ling, and Zhao Yun. Now that Tao Qian wants to come, isn't he throwing himself into the trap of the lord, everyone, isn't this a good move?"

After hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Liu Qing suddenly realized that he was so powerful.

"Predict the enemy first, pre-set the chess pieces, no wonder the lord is going to Qingzhou in person, this layout really makes me ashamed." Chen Gong sighed.

Tian Feng also said: "When did the lord become so wise? No wonder the lord faired the Qingzhou yellow scarf and did not abandon any soldiers, but he stranded all the three armies in Qingzhou."

"General Zhu Ling took Taishan County in March, and my lord appointed him as the prefect of Mount Tai. It was half a year ago, and my lord was already setting up today's situation!" Xi Zhicai also added fuel and jealousy, and joined the boast party.

Everyone has praised the lord, now the pressure is on Xun Yu.

"Ahem..." Xun Yu coughed twice, his face full of helplessness, he thought for a while, and said, "Actually...a year ago..."

Liu Qing's hand unconsciously moved from his chin to his forehead.

It's outrageous, the more it blows, the more outrageous it is, why it was all turned into a diva by Guo Jia.

"A year ago, my lord asked me about the situation of the Zhuge Clan in Langya. I didn't understand it at first, but now that I think about it, I suddenly realized that the Zhuge Clan is a prominent family in Langya, and Zhuge Gui was appointed as the prefect of Mount Tai. Now it seems that Zhu Ling is the prefect of Mount Tai. , Zhuge Gui assisted him, and my lord got the twin sons of Zhuge, who taught Mr. Hu Zhao, and my lord easily gained a firm foothold in Langya Kingdom."

Xun Yu stopped pointing, and did not say the embarrassing words. All the staff looked at each other and smiled, and nodded.

People with high IQs have a tacit understanding, which is really scary, and Liu Qing is really dumbfounded.

In the end, amidst the laughter, the plan of "beating Tao Qian" was made.

……

In Pengcheng, Xuzhou, soldiers and horses have assembled outside the city, but he has not chosen the candidate for the deputy general.

After Zang Ba lost contact with Sun Guan, Tao Qian inquired many times, and learned that the two would arrive in Taishan County, and that they would act as the chief and deputy thief Cao Cao, arresting the bandits in Taishan County.

Zang Ba Sun Guan, who was born as a thief from Mount Tai, caught the thief full-time. Is this the king of Bohai's revenge?

Killing hearts!

Without Zang Ba and Sun Guan, Tao Qian had few useful people in his tent. Cao Bao was good at fighting, but he couldn't lead the army independently. Leadership experience.

So Tao Qian suddenly became a bare general with neither a forward nor a lieutenant.

But this still couldn't stop Tao Qian's Northern Expedition and his determination to add bricks and tiles to Yuan's country.

Fortunately, Chen Deng and Sun Qianchong joined the military and advised them.

Before leaving, Tao Qian suddenly felt unwell for some reason, so he asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, why do I always feel restless? Is this an ominous veil?"

Chen Deng stroked his right-handed beard, and said, "I'm afraid you may have over-operated and you're too tired."

"In this season, although the temperature has dropped, it is far from cold. Why do you feel the wind blowing from behind?"

Chen Deng frowned, and said, "Recently, the wind is from the north, so the Jun's house faces south, so naturally it feels like the wind behind it."

Tao Qian gave a dubious "Oh" and left the city.

To go to Shanyang, you need to go to Peiguo, which will take some time. Chen Deng introduced the information Yuan Shaona got to Tao Qian: "At present, the Shanyang army is empty, and only the giant wild men Li Qian and Xu Gan are guarding. Those who rely on, It's just Lu Bu who is stationed in Chengshi County, and Chengshi is in the north, and Lu Bu is restrained by Yuan Yi, this is the time when Shanyang is empty!"

"But Shanyang County is only tens of miles away from Taishan County. If Zhu Ling helps Shanyang, he will arrive before our army." Tao Qian said.

"Don't worry, my lord. If Zhu Ling enters Shanyang, he must pass through the state of Lu. Yuan Gong has already arranged for this. Yuan Zhong, the minister of Pei state, also comes from the Yuan family in Runan. He is Yuan Shaocong's brother. He has led the soldiers of Pei state to go north to the state of Lu. , together with Chen Yi, Prime Minister of the State of Lu, ambushed Zhu Ling, and at least he was defeated, and at worst he was annihilated!" Chen Deng said with a gesture of obliteration.

"Is Chen Yi the son of the former Grand Tutor Chen Fan?" Tao Qian asked curiously, since Chen Fan was executed, his son disappeared.

"Exactly! After Chen Fan died, his friend Zhu Zhen buried him, and he would rather die than reveal Chen Yi's whereabouts. In the end, Chen Yi was released from prison. At the time of the Yellow Turban, the world was amnesty, and all the people in the party were elected. Yi is the chancellor of the state of Lu recommended by the Yuan family."

Yuan Shaocong's elder brother Yuan Zhong, Chen Yi, a member of the Yuan family, Tao Qian nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Yuan is determined to win this battle. If so, I will take Shanyang as my duty!"

"Exactly, in the past year, Yuan Gong has been uncharacteristically. He has been working in the farming and casting place all year round, repairing water conservancy, casting soldiers, and personally supervising the construction. He has the ambition to try his best!" When Chen Dengyan talked about Yuan Shao, his eyes were full of admiration, which can be seen. The family already has a heart for the Yuan family. Although Tao Qian agrees, he feels a little uncomfortable.

There is no way, the power is weak, internal and external difficulties, if you have to choose a power to join, Tao Qian will definitely choose the big tree of the Yuan family.

"My lord, I have another plan." Chen Deng said again.

"Oh? Talk about it."

"Your envoy has learned that the two generals Zang Ba and Sun Guan are doing shitty thieves in Taishan County, so why don't you send someone to contact the two generals and order them to rise up in Taishan County, so that General Zang Ba is among the thieves in Taishan County? There are so many influencers who will respond, and it is time to take Taishan County in one sentence while Zhu Ling is not around!"

"Yuan Long is really a wonderful person, and his export is a clever plan!" Tao Qian praised: "I am acting according to my intention!"

……

Taishan County, in the yamen of the county government, Zhu Ling, the head seat, was holding a teacup, sipping it, staring at the two people who sat down, they were obviously heroic, but their posture was somewhat reserved, because there was another person sitting beside them.

It was Zhang Liao who traveled from the Yanqing-Xu border to Taishan County.

"You two generals, did you hear what I just said?" Zhu Ling asked.

"Listen!"

"Listen!"

The two quickly said yes, their voices were a bit awkward, there was no way, Sangmen Xing was still sitting next to him, Zang Ba was really convinced by Zhang Liao, and he agreed to hit him halfway, but he was shot into the air.

"If Tao Qian sent a letter, wanting to make you riot and attack the county, how should you respond?" Zhu Ling asked.

"Gladly agreed, and wrote back afterwards to inform that Taishan County is under control."

Zhu Ling nodded in satisfaction.

"Those newly recruited good thieves, how are they trained? Can they fight?"

Zang Ba cupped his hands and answered: "Having begun to have combat effectiveness, the Taishan bandits have made a living with martial arts, and have a good foundation. With a little training, they will not lose to ordinary soldiers."

Zhu Ling nodded, indicating that he was correct.

Zhang Liao also nodded, expressing approval, and said: "This battle is a battle between the two of you to rectify your name. If you follow the order and achieve results, I will recommend two of you to the King of Bohai. In the future, these two will be Zhang Liao's colleagues. "

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Go down first!" Zhu Ling said.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan retreated, Zhu Ling's eyes turned suspicious instantly, and asked Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, is it credible?"

"These two are smart people. They know the difference between following Tao Qian and following the lord. I think it's credible!" Zhang Liao judged.

"Forget it, if Wen Yuan says it's credible, then it's credible!" Zhu Ling said, "The top priority is to rush to help Shanyang County according to my lord's order. I didn't expect my lord to presuppose that I will be here for several months, but it is actually for Shanyang County. , I thought it was attacking Xuzhou."

"Haha, my lord is always ahead of the enemy. Tao Qian's trip to Shanyang naturally won't be cheap. Moreover, if Zang Ba Er will be able to play a miraculous effect, Tao Qian may be so angry that he vomits blood!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Ling laughed loudly, and immediately raised the teacup, saying: "The battle is imminent, so we will replace the wine with tea, I wish Wenyuan a victory, and capture Tao Qian alive!"

Zhang Liao held up the lamp to reciprocate, saying: "Then Liao wishes Wenbo, and the mountains and suns are safe!"

……

Langya Kingdom, Langya Palace.

Zhao Yun is stationed here, and now he has become a frequent visitor to the palace, and Liu Rong admires him for his ability.

"Come, come, General Zhao, drink up this glass!" Liu Rong persuaded the wine with a smile.

"No, no, my lord, Yun has a military order, and troops will be dispatched soon, so drinking is not allowed."

"It's true, the general, the orders are prohibited, and the military discipline is strict! Alas, it's a pity that the general is about to go to war. I originally planned to invite the general to hunt in my forest tomorrow!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands and replied, "Next time!"

"I'm curious, General Zhao sent troops, but to attack Tao Qian's Donghai County in the south?"

Zhao Yun said in his heart that Liu Rong is clever, but he just likes sensuality and doesn't do his job properly. Zhao Yun is indeed attacking Donghai County, but it's not just attacking Donghai County. Donghai is not Tao Qian's gate, Pengcheng is.

"This is a secret, Your Majesty forgive me!" Zhao Yun didn't say anything.

"Ho ho, I understand, I understand, this king is just curious, in fact, this king and the king of Bohai belong to the same clan, so we can't be regarded as outsiders." Liu Rong talked to himself, but he didn't force Zhao Yun, but served hot tea to Zhao Yun.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhao Yun excused himself to leave.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Zhao Yun let out a long sigh. This Langya king is really troublesome. He has a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. During the period, there are also outdoor activities such as horse racing, hunting, and fishing. Zhao Yun, because of face, Zhao Yun couldn't refuse back, so he had to bite the bullet and participate.

The society feared that Zhao Yun would meet Liu Rong, the society cow, and felt that a day in Kaiyang County would be torture.

Liu Rong's life also made Zhao Yun lament the injustice of heaven. Some people are born with the threat of death, while others are born with a golden spoon.

Liu Qing left the palace, went straight out of the city, went to the camp, and lived with the soldiers today.

Tomorrow morning, the cavalry will attack.

……

Runan, Ruyang.

The backyard of Yuan's mansion.

The hissing sound of "Kengkeng" continued continuously, and Yuan Shao took out the saber that had not been used for a long time, and began to sharpen it.

Before he knew it, three figures suddenly appeared behind him, they were Feng Ji, Guo Tu and Chen Lin.

The three of them just stood there quietly, watching silently.

After a long time, Yuan Shao stopped his movements, took a rag and wiped off all the dirt on the sword body, and a cold glow immediately bloomed from the sword body, which was breathtaking.

"The three have been waiting for a long time, please move to the study to talk."

Yuan Shao led the three of them into the study room, the servant immediately offered hot tea and then retreated.

Seeing this scene, Feng Ji was a little moved in his heart.

In the past, Yuan Shao always ordered the servants to do these things temporarily.

"Yuantu, how is the battle in Jiyin at this time? Will Xu Rong continue to march?"

"Returning to my lord, after General Jiang arrived in Dingtao, Lord Ding had withdrawn from Juyang and joined General Jiang in Dingtao. Xu Rong will soon occupy Juyang and continue to advance. Xu Rong's trip is the prefecture of Chongjun. Tao and go."

"It seems that the strategy of 'please enter the urn' has taken effect. Can we be sure to defeat Xu Rong in this battle?"

"If you just rely on General Jiang and Lord Ding, I'm afraid it will be difficult, but if Yuan Gong is willing to send more people, then the victory ticket will be a bit more." Feng Ji was very careful in speaking, and did not say enough words, so as not to slap his face. After all, Yuan Jun He was almost defeated all the way. Although he has grown after failure, who can guarantee that the opponent will not improve.

"My lord, the soldiers who are rushing to help, whoever you send, should gather quickly." Guo Tu reminded.

The corner of Yuan Shao's mouth suddenly raised, but he didn't accept it. He just showed a mysterious smile, and he continued: "If I remember well, Deputy General Xu Rong Duan Yan, like Fan Chou, is also from Liangzhou."

"Exactly!" Guo Tu replied, but he didn't know the meaning of Yuan Shao's words, Fan Chou was already dead, the lord compared Fan Chou, but what was the meaning?
"Liangzhou people are good. Han Sui from Liangzhou turned against Dong Zhuo. I believe there will be more people from Liangzhou who will surprise us."

Yuan Shao was talking like a riddle, Feng Ji cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there are still King Bohai troops in Chenliu Commandery, and they are too close to the Jiyin battle, so we have to guard against it."

"You're talking about my nephew's younger brother, Gao Shun. This man is a rare talent in the Gao family. It's really hateful that he was recruited by the King of Bohai!"

As it was related to Yuan Shao's relatives, none of the three said anything.

Yuan Shao was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly said: "Everyone, cheer up, starting from today, the focus of Yuan's battle is no longer Nanyang, but Yanzhou!"

"Remember, it's not Jiyin, it's Yanzhou!" Yuan Shao emphasized.
