The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Crossing Sishui in the north of Changyi City, heading northwest, so the next time is to suppress thieves, not because of the urgent military situation, so there is no need to worry on the road, according to the standard marching distance, travel 60 miles a day, two days later, Gao Su The other department arrived at Chengshi County.

Onoze is in the northeast of Chengshi, only thirty or forty miles away from Chengshi.

This swamp is the largest swamp in Yanzhou today.

Jishui, Pushui, Wenshui, and a tributary of the Yellow River all flow into it.

Ze covers an area of ​​more than 100 li from north to south, and nearly 100 li from east to west.

Standing on the high ground on the edge of the swamp, I can see it, but I can see the sparkling blue water, as far as the eye can see. .

In the early summer, the water is slightly turbid, but there is still the clear blue of spring, and the sun shines on it, floating light and shining gold.

In the Taiping period in the past, there were often sails of leaves and leaves on the swamp, either for the tourists to sit on, or for the neighboring villagers who were fishing for a living. Only in recent years, since the lake was occupied by thieves, the literati who played in the scenery and the villagers who fished have almost disappeared. If there are small boats, most of them are taken by thieves.

Xun Zhen should have been very familiar with this lake, but because the current name of this lake is not the same as the lake he knew in his previous life, so a month ago, when he attacked the Cheng family with his troops , he did not pay too much attention to this Ze.

In the original historical time and space, from the current time period, hundreds of years later, from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River in the west will have three large man-made or natural breaches one after another, and the river will eventually pour into Shouzhang County in the north. At the foot of Liangshan Mountain in the territory, a depression is formed around it, and this depression will be connected with Ono Ze, and the new and larger patch formed is the famous "Eight Lakes". A hundred miles of water parks Liangshan".

Of course, today's Onoze is not as vast as Liangshanbo in later generations, but the distance from north to south and east to west is not small. The occupied areas are also only slightly larger than each other.

However, it was said that Gao Su, Feng Gong, and Wan Qian led the troops to the outside of Chengshi County, and the newly appointed governor of Jiyin, Liu Fu, had already led 500 soldiers and was waiting in the county.

Liu Fu received the report and went out of the city to welcome him.

Along with Liu Fu's arrival, in addition to his subordinate officials, there were two others, namely Li Cao and Li Jin, brothers of Cheng's own county, Li Cao and Li Jin.

See you on both sides.

Feng Gong saluted respectfully, and Gao Su also saluted.

In the newly acquired land of Yanzhou, Xuzhou is equivalent to a foreign "occupier". It cannot be like the usual story of the Han family. In order to stabilize the rule as soon as possible, the officials of the prefecture and county cannot be removed from the local area. Therefore, Liu Fu's family The officials were half transferred from Xuzhou.

Gao Su recognized one or two of them, and although he didn't know the others, he could tell they were from Xuzhou by listening to their accents. To these Jiyin county officials from Xuzhou origin, Gao Su gave a three-point ceremony, and to the remaining Jiyin county officials, Gao Su could not help but neglect.

After listening to Liu Fu's introduction, I knew that Li Cao and Li Jin were the powerful men in Cheng's county, and Gao Su's attitude towards them was even more so-so, and he didn't even bother to return the ceremony.

Feng Gong, however, greeted everyone with a smile, and returned the military salute in a serious manner. The more polite he was to the brothers Li Cao and Li Jin.

Gao Su couldn't get used to his appearance, sneered, and said, "Hugou! You really are not picky!"

Feng Gong asked, "Why don't you be picky?"

"A cat and a dog, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, you are also respectful. Although your official is low, not as good as me, at least you are a military commander, and you can be regarded as the leader of a division. You always raise your eyes, don't ask Lost the majesty of the lord and the reputation of our Yingyin hero!"

The Jiyin local officials, Li Cao brothers, and even Wan Qian, who were present, all changed their expressions slightly after hearing Gao Su's words.

Feng Gong noticed their expressions, and thought to himself, "Zixiu places great importance on friendship and righteousness, and it's fine wherever he is, but he was always chivalrous when he was in the village, and he was arrogant when dealing with people. He is optimistic, he can't let him cause trouble, he has just arrived at the Cheng family, and he has not yet started to suppress the thieves, he just opened his mouth and humiliated a group of people! I have to make some changes."

He said calmly, "Zi Xiu, Jun Gu is my hero in Yingyin, but all the officials and brothers Li Jun in Liu Fu Jun's mansion are all heroic and heroic! My heart is broken. How did the lord instruct you and me before returning to Xuzhou? The lord said that there are many outstanding talents in Yantu, and asked you and I to be humble and respectful. Today, when I meet Yingshi and Zixiu, how can you and I not treat each other with respect?"

Li Cao, Li Jin brothers, the officials from Jiyin County, and others, heard Feng Gong's words, and their expressions turned slightly happy.

Feng Gong knew Gao Su and knew that as long as Xun Zhen's words were taken out, Gao Su would definitely be obedient and would not offend people with nonsense. Sure enough, Gao Su snorted, but not only did he not speak any more, but he also made up for the two brothers who had ignored Li Cao and Li Jin in return.

Brothers Li Cao and Li Jin had never met Xun Zhen, but when they saw that Gao Su was arrogant and respectful just because of the words of Xun Zhen relayed by Feng Gong, their attitudes changed drastically, and they couldn't help but secretly amazed.

Li Jin said in his heart, "What kind of person is this Xun Zhendong? How could he convince someone as arrogant as Gao Su?"

After all, no matter the distance or status, he was too far away from Xun Zhen, because this thought only turned around in his mind, and he no longer wanted to go.

Li Cao's brothers are famous heroes of Jiyin. Wan Qian and them are more familiar than Zhang Guan's brother Zhang Ben. At this time, they came out to smooth the field and said with a smile: "The school captain and Feng Jun are heroes of Yuzhou, and the people in Liu Taishou's house Brother Li and Li Jun are heroes of Yanzhou, heroes see heroes, it can be said that they meet each other too late! Although the army is not allowed to drink alcohol, they can chat with candles tonight, and I think they will be congenial."

Speaking of which, Liu Fu's family was in Pei, and he was also a native of Yuzhou. Together with Liu Fu, Xunzhen appointed several people as the prefects of the various counties in Yanzhou. Needless to say, Xun Yue, the prime minister of Rencheng, was also a native of Yuzhou; Xu Zhuo, the minister of Jibei, was also a native of Yuzhou; plus the prime minister of Dongping, who was born in Xiangcheng County. Li Zan is one of the six Yanzhou counties currently owned by Xuzhou. The chief officials of the four counties are all from Yuzhou, and three of them are from Yingchuan. Only Shanyang County and the newly established Lihu County are the only ones. The chief officials, one Le Jin and the other Pan Zhang, were from Dongjun, Yanzhou, and Le Jin was also an old man from Xixiang whom Xun Zhen had cast into his tent when he was in Xixiang in his early years.

In the final analysis, in times of troubles, in the context of the unpredictable rebellion of the county and county, the two people who can gain the most trust of the lord are still the clan and the countryman. This is human nature and no one can avoid it.

Outside Chengshi County, there is a fort built by Cao Cao's division before.

On the same day, in the military camp, Liu Fu presided over a military meeting to discuss the strategy of suppressing the thieves.

Because brothers Li Cao and Li Jin are local snakes, and at the same time, they also have some subordinates, so this time, Liu Fuzheng invited them to participate. ——The two of them brought hundreds of trilogy, and the county soldiers led by Liu Fu were also stationed in the camp.

Brother Li Cao knew a lot about the bandits in Onozawa. At the military meeting, Li Cao made a detailed introduction to everyone.

Li Cao said: "Onoze Lake is vast, with reeds in the sky, and it has always been a hiding place for desperate people. It's just that in the early days, there were not many thieves in the lake, only in groups of three or five. The defeated Yellow Turban thieves fled into Zenei. In the villages around Zene, there were rebels who were willing to be thieves and also went to Zezhong. The number of thieves in Zeli suddenly increased sharply, and they often plundered the nearby people. Cheng's county seat was also looted by Li Gan and other Cao soldiers before they settled in."

Feng Gong asked, "How many thieves are there in Zezhong?"

Li Cao looked embarrassed and said: "Cao wait, no one has been to Zenei, but I don't know how many thieves there are in Zezhong, but since the last time they came to the Cheng clan to loot, and how they usually treat Zhou Jin Judging from the scale of the looting in the village, there should be three or five thousand people."

Gao Su said carelessly: "Is there only three or five thousand people? For this little thief, only my team is enough to pacify it!" Asking Liu Fu to fight, he said, "Fu Jun, when the thieves are suppressed, your county soldiers don't have to move. , guard along the road to prevent the thieves from escaping; I will do the thief eradication!" Thinking of Feng Gong, the thief and the meritorious deeds, can not forget the brothers from the same town, and added a sentence with great loyalty, "I With Hugou two, it is enough to exterminate them all!"

Feng Gong pondered for a moment, then asked Li Cao again, and said, "The sources of the thieves in the Zezhong are complicated, there are the foreign Yellow Turban defeated soldiers, the people along the border who are thieves, and the desperate people who have fled into the Zezhong before, when they arrived in the Zezhong. They are different and have different origins. It is expected that they will definitely disagree with each other. If there are three or five thousand people, they should have more than one share, right? Does Li Jun know how many shares they have? Where are they divided? Who is the leader of each share? "

Li Cao still looked embarrassed and replied, "It seems that there are indeed more than one share of the thieves in Zezhong, but how many shares there are, and who is the capital of the thieves in each of them, this..., the villain really doesn't know."

Li Cao's words were very sincere, but for some reason, Liu Fu felt that he seemed to be evading the key points, and he couldn't tell the truth.

Liu Fu stroked his beard, looked at Li Cao thoughtfully, and thought to himself, "I heard from the local officials in the mansion that these brothers Li Cao and Li Jin are the top tyrants of the Cheng clan, and the yellow turbans are messed up. After they started, their brothers gathered in more than a thousand clans and villagers. They defended themselves in Wubao, Li Cao was brave, Li Jin was resourceful, and there was a man named Li Gao who went to Dongjun from Cao Mengde. He was the brother of the two of them. The bravery is especially above Li Cao. These three brothers, Yu Jiyin really has a great reputation, and even the Yellow Turbans and thieves dare not attack. After I arrived at the Cheng family yesterday, I went to his house to take a look. , It is true that the barriers are strong, and the armor of Fort Ding in his dock is also quite sophisticated.

"Also said that the thieves in Ono Zezhong actually secretly communicated with the Li Cao brothers. The leader of the two thieves in the Zezhong is Cheng's Qingxia, and Li Cao's brothers know each other as teenagers, and they have contacts with each other. Yes! Looking at Li Cao's words today, this matter seems true!"

But he said, since he knew that Li Cao and Li Jin's brother Li Gao were now in Dongjun and followed Cao Cao, why did Liu Fu not take down Li Cao and Li Jin, but he seemed to be very polite to them?

The reason is simple. There are wars everywhere. For various reasons, a family, brothers, father and son, cannot be in the same place. There should not be too many examples of each party's forces. If one's relatives are in the enemy's camp , just arrest him and put him in jail, or simply kill him, then not to mention how many people need to be killed, this act alone will inevitably cause the discord of the cadres and scholars.

——Yuan Shao just lost a talent because of this. There was a man named Dong Zhao under Yuan Shao's account, whose courtesy name was Gongren, and he was from Dingtao County, Jiyin. During the fierce battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan last year, he first helped Yuan Shao get rid of dozens of local tyrants in Julu County who wanted to vote for Gongsun Zan, and pacified him. He lived in Julu County, and then after Li Pan, the prefect of Wei County, was killed by soldiers, he also served as the prefect of Wei County when he was in danger. At that time, there were tens of thousands of rebel soldiers and thieves in Wei County, and there was great chaos in the county. To discuss and pacify them one by one, within two days, three good reports will be passed on. It can be said that the reason why Yuan Shao was able to defeat Gongsun Zan was due to Dong Zhao's contribution to the stability of his flank Julu and Wei County in the rear. The younger brother Dong Fu was under Zhang Miao's tent, but Yuan Shao listened to the slander and wanted to punish Dong Zhao at the beginning of this year. Dong Zhao had no choice but to escape from Yuan Shao under the pretext of having an audience with the emperor, and went to Hanoi, where he was left behind by Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi.

Therefore, although he knew that Li Gao was now in Cao Cao's army, and Liu Fu was the prefect of the county who had just arrived in office, he could not justly punish the brothers Li Cao and Li Jin; , because of the large number of brothers, they have a high reputation in the Cheng family and even Jiyin County. In order to appease the locality as soon as possible, they have to rely on them.

Feng Gong lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to Liu Fu, Wan Qian, and Gao Su: "Although there are probably only a few thousand pirates in Ono Ze, the number of thieves is not many, but Ono Ze occupies a large area, and our army has few ships. The soldiers under Zixiu and I are not good at water warfare, because if you want to destroy them, it is best to lead them to the land to fight.

"Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. This is the teaching of a military family. In this way, in Gong's humble opinion, you need to send scouts first to investigate the details of the thieves in the Ze, and after you know everything, you can attack again, and you will have complete confidence."

Liu Fu was a good soldier, and he agreed with Feng Gong's suggestion, saying: "The military Sima said exactly what he said, so just follow the military Sima's plan!" He was already suspicious of Li Cao and Li Jin in his heart. When the military plane was leaked, he ordered, "Many of the bandits in Zezhong are from Chengshi County, and the county and township may have their eyes and ears. When the bandits are about to fight, they should be the first of the secrets! From today until the time to suppress the bandits, the entire battalion will be Martial law, without our military orders, no one will be allowed to enter or leave without our military order! Those who violate the order will be beheaded."

This is a reasonable matter. Gao Su and Feng Gong have fought with Xunzhen for so many years. It is not surprising that they all responded, "No."

When Li Cao and Li Jin heard this, they looked at each other and said, "No."

That night, Liu Fu, Gao Su, and Feng Gong selected more than a dozen capable scouts, disguised as local villagers, went out of the camp, sneaked to Onozawa, and carried out investigations in sections.

Two days later, the scouts came back in succession and gathered the information they had detected in one place. Liu Fu personally drew a detailed map of the inside and outside of Onozawa, and showed the general location of the detected thieves in the Zezhong. mark on it.

The crowd looked around the map.

When Liu Fu didn't see much, he already had a plan.

He looked at everyone and said: "According to the information, the bandits in Zezhong are mainly divided into three groups. The northwest is the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the south is the village bandits of Linqiu and Cheng, and the north and east are the bandits of Dongping and Shanyang. There are about 2,000 thieves left in the Yellow Turbans, about 1,000 thieves in the township, and about 1,000 thieves and thieves from other counties. In addition, there are four or five small groups of thieves and thieves, and the number is between 100, 400, 500."

About one-third of the area of ​​Dayozawa is in Jiyin County; less than one-third of the area is in Sanyang County in the east, and about one-fifth of Zemian is in Dongping Country in the northeast. territory.

The area in Shanyang County is very close to Juye County in Shanyang. Before Juye, there were many garrisoned troops, so the Onoze bandits in Shanyang were not very rampant; it was located in Dongping. Onoze within the territory of the country does not occupy a large area, because the pirates are not rampant. Only this lake in Jiyin County occupies a large area, the surrounding river network is dense, the surrounding county towns are far away from it, and the rest of the Yellow Turbans escaped, so the thieves in it are the three Among the counties, the most rampant.

Liu Fu said: "The thieves from Dongping and Shanyang counties have their own Taishou Li of Dongping County and General Le of Shanyang County to suppress them respectively, and we do not need the help of our county. That is to say, we only need to suppress the thieves this time. Destroy the Yellow Turban remnants in the northwest and the Cheng clan thieves in the south. As long as these two groups of thieves are eliminated, the remaining small groups of thieves are nothing to worry about.

"Among these two bandits, my intention is to fight the Cheng family's thieves first! Why do you think this is the case?"

Gao Su clapped his hands and said: "Fu Jun Gao see! The Yellow Turban thieves are not local people, they are also rootless; The people are familiar in the village, so I don’t want to knock them down with the force of thunder first, but if we go to fight the Yellow Turban thieves first, then before we get rid of the Yellow Turban thieves, I’m afraid that this group of village thieves will already be scattered and flee in. The surrounding countryside has gone! When our troops and horses are gone, they will return to Zezhong as a thief, but they still have to make me and Hugo fight it again!"

Li Jin intentionally suggested to fight the yellow turban first, but because of Gao Su's remarks, he had to swallow the unspoken suggestion.

Liu Fu nodded appreciatively to Gao Su, and said to everyone: "What the high school captain said is exactly what I thought." Asked Wan Qian, Feng Gong, Li Cao, Li Jin, etc., and said, "What do you think?"

Feng Gong has no objection, and Wan Qian has no objection.

Li Cao said: "Ming Fu has a good plan. Brother Cao, please be the forerunner of Ming Fu, and enter the lake to kill thieves!"

Liu Fu smiled and said, "You don't need Brother Ru to enter the lake!"

Li Cao asked, "What do you mean by Mingfu's words?"

Liu Fu pointed to the southern corner of the map and said, "I've looked at the topography of Zenan, and as far as it is important, nothing is more important than here. Not only is this place high, but it also blocks the largest passage between Zenan and Zewai. As long as we can capture this place and cut off the way for the thieves in Zenei to go out, can we not trap them to death in Zenei?"

Li Cao looked at the location where Liu Fu was pointing, his heart sank, and he thought: "This Liu Fu is not a native of my Cheng clan, but how could he find Ze Ze by only relying on the report of the scout and a temporarily drawn map? Nan's vital place? Your eyes are so vicious! Brother Liang and Jia, I can't help you!"

The words that Liu Fu heard from the government officials were groundless, but they were indeed based on grounds. Brother Li Cao had secret contacts with the Cheng clan thieves in Zezhong. Li Cao thought to himself that he would not be able to deal with the "Second Brother Liang and Jia". These two were the leaders of the Cheng clan thieves in Zezhong. They were originally heroes in Cheng clan, and they were old acquaintances with Li Cao's brother. The last time the thieves kidnapped Chengshi County, among them, Li Gao, Li Cao, and Li Jin brothers informed him about it. After the kidnapping, Liang and Jia gave his brothers a generous gift.

Liu Fu's strategy was really good, so he decided to kill the thieves accordingly.

The next day, the troops left the camp and entered the highland that Liu Fu had chosen.

I looked around and saw that the high place was about ten acres in diameter, with a dock wall built on it, some flags erected, and thieves guarding it.

The north of the highland faces the swamp, the east is a harbor, and the west is silt, shallow water, and reeds.

Only the south is a gentle **** of three or two hundred steps, which is connected to the flat land of Zenan.

Potholes of different sizes were dug on the gentle slope, and three sections of fences were arranged. The fences were taller than people and stretched across things.

The thieves soldiers in the high ground dock wall had heard the news of the pile detection outside in advance, and knew that the Xuzhou soldiers were coming. At this time, there was a panic in the barriers. Shields, bows, and spears are guarded.

Liu Fu pulled his horse to stop, and Gu Yu said to the generals: "You heard the information sent back by the scouts yesterday. There are not many thieves in the wall of the dock, about three hundred, but this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Who will make the first contribution to get through the gentle **** first?"

Gao Su fought with Xunzhen in the southern and northern wars, and he fought a lot of tough battles. He didn't see this point battle, but he was too lazy to go into battle, so he pushed Feng Gong out and said, "Hugou, I will rob you of this first merit, and I will give it to you. Stand up!"

Feng Gong smiled slightly, and said to Liu Fu: "Fu-Jun please wait here, Gong will clear the way for Fu-Jun!"

He surveyed the gentle **** for a while. He already had the method of attacking and fighting, and he did not return to the headquarters. He only sent an order to his deputy Sima to command, so that the archers raised their shields in the front, the melee swordsmen and axemen were in the middle, and the spearmen were in the back. , The three arms, each column grows into a square array, twenty steps apart, advancing toward the gentle slope.

The thieves on the gentle **** hurriedly released arrows to stop them, but the archers from Feng Gong's department were not in a hurry to draw their bows. When the thieves behind the fence in front of their heads were within range at the foot of the gentle slope, they shot arrows in unison. Where are the archers of the thieves who are the opponents of Feng Gong's men? The strength of the bow is not as strong, and the accuracy of the head is not as good. In less than a quarter of an hour, the bandit soldier behind the fence shouted, dropped more than ten corpses, and rushed back. Feng Gong's subordinates pressed in front of the first fence, set it on fire and burned it down, adjusted the formation a little, and continued to advance.

Gao Su was very bored, looked up at the sky, and saw the white clouds blooming, and flocks of birds from the reeds flew up in fright, some flying west, some going east. Gao Su looked left and right, drew his bow and shot it, and shot three arrows in a row, but none of them were hit.

He put away the bow and arrow angrily, and caught a glimpse of Feng Gong, who was riding beside him, looking at him with a smile. He felt that his face was hard, he spat, and said, "These birds are too small to blow up three taels of oil! I have Good life, let them go!"

Feng Gong smiled and said, "Really?"

There was a fight ahead, but Gao Su drew a bow and shot a bird, attracting Wan Qian, Li Jin, Li Cao and others all looking at him~www.readwn.com~ Feeling the eyes of Li Jin brothers, Gao Su glanced at them, suddenly remembered something, and his face Shang showed an angry look and said to Feng Gong: "Hugou, when we sent troops a few days ago, we went to the prefecture to say goodbye to Xun Shijun. I heard the government officials say that Zhang Chang actually splashed in front of the house! Insulting the Shijun. The dog thing is really daring! He insulted the lord before, I haven't counted it with him, and he dares to insult the envoy! When we have eliminated the bandits in this swamp, and go back to Changyi, look at me, it is necessary kill him!"

Feng Gong was taken aback and said, "Zixiu, absolutely!"

"Why not?"

"Zhang Chang is a madman. Why didn't the lord and the envoy kill him? It's because if you kill him, it won't do any good, but it will damage the reputation of the lord and the envoy. You must not fool around!"

Gao Su pouted and didn't answer Feng Gong, thinking in his heart: "My lord is a great hero, so it's not easy to kill such little flies, anyway, I don't care about any good reputation, it's time for me to do it and kill them. It's a problem! It also saves the lord a lot of trouble!"

He hasn't finished thinking about it yet, the battle on the gentle **** over there has ended.

The three fences were all burned down, and Feng Gong's department went under the dock wall and surrounded it.

...

Thank you, Xiaotianxin L, another leader of the alliance, there will be an update later.
