Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Years ago, Kong Rong impeached Cao Ren and put the emperor under house arrest. He seized the opportunity for Xun You. He immediately stated in the court hall that he would lead [-] soldiers out of the city with Cao Ren and Li Dian, and that no one from Yanzhou would be left in Luoyang City One soldier and one soldier.

Xun You's decision made all the courtiers dumbfounded immediately.

Co-authored Cao Cao for the sake of the governor of Yuzhou and the governor of Jingzhou?Is it a lie that he wants to lead his army back to Yanzhou, or is he trying to put pressure on the emperor and ministers in disguise?

Kong Rong was reflecting on whether he always suspected that Cao Cao had the idea of ​​coercing the emperor, and whether he was using the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman.

Xun You, Cao Ren, and Li Dian left as soon as they said they would, and returned to Yanzhou without leaving a single soldier.Yuan Shao then went to the north to impeach Cao Cao for disrespect.The emperor wants you to keep [-] soldiers and you keep [-], and then put the emperor under house arrest and sever contact inside and outside the palace.

Therefore, Yuan Shao, as a general of the Han Dynasty, attacked Sikong Cao Cao who did not respect the emperor.At the same time, [-] soldiers were sent from Jizhou to pass through Cao Cao's Yanzhou to Luoyang to protect the emperor.

Cao Cao hated it so much that his teeth were itchy. If you, Yuan Shao, really wanted to send guards to the emperor, you would go from Bingzhou to Luoyang through Pingyang Army, Hedong County, and Sizhou. Why do you have to go through Yanzhou?

Why are you sending guards to the emperor? You obviously want to send these 2 people to Yanzhou's defense line to serve as the vanguard of disrupting Yanzhou.

Cao Cao felt very blocked.Although he had expected that after Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zan, there would be a life-and-death decisive battle between himself and Yuan Shao, he never expected that this day would come so early, and Yuan Shao would find such an excuse of disrespect.

But no matter how angry you are, it's useless, you have to resist Yuan Shao to survive.

All his generals and counselors gathered together to analyze feasible plans to fight Yuan Shao's army.But after several meetings, Cao Cao felt that he had more energy than he wanted.

At this time, Guo Jia presented "Ten Wins and Ten Defeats" written by himself after staying up all night.

Cao Cao read it three times in a row, and the hesitation in his heart suddenly disappeared. He immediately copied the "Ten Wins and Ten Defeats" in more than ten copies, and read it to all the civil servants and generals.After inspiring everyone's fighting spirit, Cao Cao laid out the strategy against Yuan Shao that he had planned for a long time in his heart.But even so, Cao Cao's heart was still not settled. He was worried that Sun Ce would send troops from Xuzhou to come behind him.

Guo Jia did not agree with Cao Cao's opinion.

"My lord, you don't have to think about Sun Ce that way. He just took Huainan and Jingzhou into his pocket, and the people in these two places have not yet fully surrendered to him. I'm afraid he has been focusing on how to digest these two places in the past two years. And Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses Strong, he should also have the idea of ​​looking forward to the confrontation between our two families. It is really after we have defeated Yuan Shao that he should guard against Sun Ce."

Cao Cao thought that after he finished fighting Yuan Shao, he would have to face the little mad dog Sun Ce immediately, so he muttered something casually.

"Why don't you think he was shot through the head by an arrow like Sun Polu?"

Guo Jia laughed, "My lord, don't worry. Sun Ce is young and heroic now, and like Sun Polu, he likes to lead the way. This is a reckless person who doesn't care about his own safety, and is not good at guarding against others. If there is an assassin in an ambush, he is likely to die in the In the hands of the moment."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed a little, how much trouble Sun Ce has put in for him, his obvious shortcomings should be used.An idea formed in Cao Cao's mind.

"Zixiao, would you like to send someone to send a letter to Liu Zhang? Let's say that Sun Ce has taken Jingzhou and is optimistic about Yizhou. Then tell Liu Zhang about Sun Ce's habit, or we can choose a few soldiers from Yizhou to celebrate his birthday." spring."

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more excited he became, "Zixiao, Gongda, Zhongde, the news from Shouchun and Qu'a can match, then Sun Zhongmou is an inexperienced son. If something happens to Sun Ce, the pressure from the south will temporarily It's gone. Do you think it's possible?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a while and said: "This matter must come from Yizhou. Otherwise, if there is a mistake and the goal is not achieved, Sun Ce will be provoked to use troops against us immediately, and then there may be a situation where we face enemies from both sides."

Guo Jia kept his mouth shut. It is of course good if this kind of thing is done well, but if it is not done well, there will be big troubles.

Xun You said: "My lord's idea is very correct. Why don't you send people out of Yizhou and Jingzhou at the same time? Sun Ce burned Liu Biao and Yuan Shu's warships, and many generals and soldiers died. These people must have relatives and friends Those who are willing to assassinate Sun Ce. That is, we must get rid of the relationship."

Cao Cao understood Xun You's reminder, nodded in response and would act carefully.As for how to do Sun Ce's affairs, it is not up to the few advisers.

Cao Cao ordered all the soldiers, left Guo Jia to garrison Yanzhou, and asked Xun You and Cheng Yu to follow him to fight Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao sent people to Shuzhong to contact Liu Zhang, and at the same time discussed with Cao Ren that he would give Cao Ren's daughter to Sun Ce's younger brother.Cao Ren would not object to such a marriage arrangement.

Cao Cao wanted to marry not only the daughter of Cao's family, but also the daughter of the grandson's family, but the only daughters of the Sun's family were the youngest daughter who was not yet born and the daughter of Sun Ce who was just born, so he put his idea on Sun Ben's head.He wanted his third son Cao Zhang to marry Sun Ben's daughter.At the same time, he also went to the imperial court to recommend Sun Quan and Sun Xiang as talents, so as to win over and contain Sun Ce.

Liu Zhang, who is far away in Yizhou, has been restless since Sun Ce took over Jingzhou.On the surface, he and Liu Biao are a smiling and affectionate family, but in his heart he longs to eat meat and sleep.When Liu Biao's father Liu Yan had just passed away, the things Liu Biao did to Shuzhong made him take a lot of effort to secure his position as Yizhou Mu.

But the discord between Liu Biao and Liu Yan has lasted for many years.After Yuan Shu withdrew from Nanjun and stabilized Jingzhou, Liu Biao tentatively reached out to Liu Yan's Yizhou, but Liu Yan beat him back mercilessly.Liu Biao didn't take advantage of it, so he wrote to the court to accuse Liu Yan of arrogating his status and comparing himself with the emperor in terms of utensils and clothes in the car.

In the end, it was Kong Rong who persuaded the emperor to conceal Liu Biao's sacrifice to heaven in order to protect the face of the court.

But Liu Zhang was very afraid that Sun Ce would flee to Yizhou if he won Jingzhou.At the suggestion of Fazheng, when Liu Biao was beating Sun Ce, he sent [-] Sichuan troops to help Liu Biao in the battle.Who would have thought that Liu Biao would lose so quickly.

The envoy Cao Cao sent to Yizhou was eloquent, "If my lord hadn't wanted to deal with Yuan Shao, Jiangdong would have been lost by himself. Then Sun Ce paid tribute to the emperor every month, which made you as embarrassed as my lord. No more Sun Ce, the other sons of the Sun family are nothing to worry about."

The envoy kept publicizing Sun Quan's affairs.

Liu Zhang was shaken.Yes, without Sun Ce, his own Yizhou will be stable.

"Besides, you don't need to send people from Yizhou to go there. Isn't there a lot of people from Jingzhou who belonged to Liu Biao's old department?"

This idea immediately convinced Liu Zhang that the people of Jingzhou ambushed Sun Ce, and Sun Ce and those in Jiangdong, who were successful or not, had to spend their energy on Jingzhou.

When Jingzhou is in chaos, only Yizhou can be stable.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took thousands of soldiers, guarded the two families, and Mrs. Zheng moved to Shouchun.The mansion is arranged in advance.Zhou Yu's house is not far from the governor's mansion, and the original house of the Qiao family has welcomed back its owner.

But Mrs. Zheng went back to her original house and went around to find Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao.

"Gongjin, you know that I only have two daughters, and now I can't tell Bofu and Da Qiao to live with me. I want you and Xiao Qiao to bring the children to live there."

When Xiao Qiao thought of her mother living alone in the empty house, her eyes turned red and she looked at Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin?"

Live in Qiaofu?Zhou Yu agreed without thinking too much.

"Yes. Anyway, I don't have much time in Shouchun. It's good for you to live with your mother-in-law. The step-mother said that he also left a yard for us in the governor's mansion, and also left a yard for the step-mother. "

Mrs. Zheng said: "Gongjin, I have asked someone to make a plaque. If you go to do it, I will take off the plaque from the Qiao Mansion and hang it directly in the Zhou Mansion."

Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped her, "Mother-in-law, there's no need. I don't care if anyone says I'm married. Don't worry, Xiao Qiao and I will take care of you."

Mrs. Zheng took good care of Zhou Yu, making Zhou Yu often think of her parents.His father was the Luoyang order in the last years of Emperor Ling. When Dong Zhuo forced the people of Luoyang to Chang'an, both his parents died. He and his brothers survived because they were studying in Jiangnan.Later, he followed his uncle Zhou Shang, who raised him like his own son over the years.But my uncle went to Jian'an County to be the prefect, so it doesn't matter if I live with Xiao Qiao and my mother-in-law.

Even when my uncle returns to Shouchun, it will be cheaper for Zhou Zhai to stay there with his family.So Zhou Yu and his wife had just unpacked some of their belongings and luggage, packed them up and shipped them to the former Qiaofu.

The next day when Zhou Yu returned to Qiaofu, he found that the plaque in front of the door had been replaced by Zhoufu.

Zhou Yu was very disturbed, and Sun Ce advised him: "If the mother-in-law wants to do this, just let her go, be filial and filial."

When Wu Guotai arrived in Shouchun, Yuan Shu's palace, which was rebuilt on the basis of Yangzhou Governor's Yamen, was not large in scale, but it was filled with Yuan Shu's more than a hundred concubines.Such a big mansion is more than enough for Sun Ce and his family to live in.

Sun Ce considered that his mother was still in charge of the house, so he only reserved the main hall and study yard for himself in the first entrance of the backyard.Then a series of courtyards behind the middle road were handed over to the mother's three younger brothers, a younger sister, and Xiao Wu and others to live in.His husband and wife lived on the east road with their two children, while Sun Quan and his wife lived on the west side.

As usual, Wu Guotai reserved a yard for Zhou Yu and his wife, and also left a yard for Mrs. Zheng alone.

After settling down, the envoy sent by Cao Cao arrived.

At the same time, Sun Ce, who was busy like a spinning top, shuttled between the governor's mansion and the military camp every day, and encountered the first assassination ambush after arriving in Shouchun.

The assassins lay in ambush on the road that Sun Ce passed every day, and attacked Sun Ce's guards with bows and arrows.
