Liu Bei thought for a while, and then said to Zhiyuan, "My lord, just leave a general to guard here. I'll send my servant Sun Gan to help Minsheng, what do you think?"
"My wife gave birth to a son last year, and now we haven't seen each other for a year. So I want to go back to Xuzhou for a few days to reunite with my family..."
Zhi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Is your name Liu Chan?"
Liu Bei glanced at the kite, and then said to the kite, "I really wanted to be called this name before, but now it's really a bit over the top..."
"Since the princess knows the destiny, how about giving my son a name? Now my child only has the baby name A Dou, but he really doesn't have an official name."
Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, how could she come up with a name... But Zhiyuan still thought about it seriously, and then said to Liu Bei: "How about calling it Liu Chen?"
Liu Bei nodded, and then said to Zhiyuan, "The girl's name must have a deep meaning, so I thank you..."
Zhi Yuan suddenly said to Liu Bei: "Remember not to spoil your child... After you look at Liu Biao and Liu Yan, neither of them will be a great talent. If I have time in the future, how about I educate him personally?"
"And brother Xuande can have a few more children, even if one fails, there are others who can take his place. Since my brother no longer intends to take that path, it's better to spread the leaves."
Liu Bei understood Zhi Yuan's meaning, and finally sighed: "After all, that was my original ideal, but the girl is kind to me, and it seems that I have guessed something a little bit."
"So it's better to change a way of life, maybe in the future, you can leave your name in history."
Zhiyuan laughed loudly: "Is it not easy to leave a name? I can make everyone adore you in the future... I will write a book and spread it in the form of a novel sooner or later. People will definitely remember my brother's great kindness."
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Novelist?"
Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Yes...although it is not as true as the official history, but it was recited by the people orally. Brother Xuande has known the power of the people for so many years?"
Liu Bei naturally understood, and Zhi Yuan continued: "How many ordinary people would know about Sima Qian's writing of historical records? And if my brother's benevolence is known to the world, why can't it be passed down through the ages?"
"Historical officials know, novels know... do you understand what I mean?"
The title of novelist comes from Hanshu, and it can be regarded as one of the schools of thought in those days.It can be regarded as a special kind of family collected from folk discussions and stories in the neighborhood.
If Liu Bei wants to be named Zhiyuan, he will give him the name. The world already needs some heroes, and Liu Bei's benevolence is naturally the most suitable for spreading.If Liu Bei's benevolence can become the mainstream in the future, and someone shouts Liu Bei's benevolence slogan at the end of the dynasty, it will indeed reduce many unnecessary killings of civilians.
Zhiyuan sometimes thinks very simply, although she is not sure what the result will be.
Then there is the matter of the whole Yingchuan. Those who should be killed are killed, and those who should be reorganized are also reorganized.Zhi Yuan thought about it carefully, and decided to keep Wei Yan and the Yuan family here.
Wei Yan is mainly in charge of the military, and Yuan Huan and Sun Qian are here to cooperate.Moreover, Zhi Yuan directly assigned such a small half of the county to Nanyang County, which was considered unified management in the end.
Although Yuan Huan is Yuan Shu's subordinate, the two sides have cooperated for so long now, and his control in Nanyang County has been gradually taken away by Zhi Yuan.But Yuan Huan didn't have much objection. After all, as long as he wasn't occupied by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he would have an account with Yuan Shu in the future.
As for Yuan Shu... Zhi Yuan sighed again.Liu Bei needs to go back to Jingzhou first, hand over to Sun Jian, and finally leave some people in Sun Jian to be responsible for the stability of Jingzhou before returning to Xuzhou.
And Zhiyuan... After a series of battles, she finally thought of Yuan Shu who had disappeared for several months.Although some spies said that Yuan Shu seemed to have retreated into Jiujiang County, it was not confirmed after all.
After Yuan Shao acquired several counties in Yuzhou, he directly sent soldiers to block it and basically prevented any civilians from entering or leaving.Therefore, Yuan Shu's information in Jiujiang was simply impossible for Zhi Yuan to inquire about.
After thinking about it, Zhiyuan decided to go to Jiujiang first.At least Zhiyuan wanted to make sure how Yuan Shu was doing now...
"Yes, I just want to see if this guy is dead. If he dies, I can annex his territory... I have absolutely no other intentions." Zhi Yuan thought in her heart.
But despite thinking this way, Zhi Yuan led the white-robed army on their way quickly, and didn't even have a day to rest on the way.As for her current relationship with Yuan Shu, I'm afraid only God knows...
Chapter 420: I, Yuan Gonglu, are back!
The two generals in the camp fought inextricably. The two young generals were not too old, but their martial arts were very high.Including Ji Ling who was on the side, couldn't help sighing. "If you get such a good general as soon as possible, my lord would have defeated Yuan Shao long ago."
That's right.... Now Yuan Shu's subordinates can fight not just one, but two.At present Yuan Shao has almost 6 troops, counting civilian husbands and the like there can be close to [-].
These two teenagers, Yuan Shao, led a team of 1 people alone, which made the two feel grateful and felt like they had met a wise master.
As for Liang Gangle and Ji Ling, none of them objected.Even these three people basically gave up the main force and retreated to the second line to be responsible for training.
If you are a newcomer, and you have just entered a unit at a young age, and you just come up and directly give you the position of manager, everyone will be very grateful.After the two of them finished fighting, Yuan Shu laughed and ordered people to prepare drinks.
"My lord, you don't have to be like this. I have been in Qu'a for many years and no one has valued me as much as my lord. At that time, Yangzhou shepherds thought I had no background, and didn't even give me a dental general. So what if I don't have a name and a surname. It's nothing more than embarrassing the ancestors."
The person who said this was young general Qu'a, who drank all the wine Yuan Shu poured for him.To be honest, since the last time he opened the door, went out to fight and defeated Zhang Jaw, Yuan Shu has been too kind to himself.
And another young general said to Yuan Shu: "Father Zhong, you don't have to be polite. Our two families have been on good terms for so many years. Although Father Zhong didn't join the camp of the Son of Heaven, he still has a good relationship with the princess after all."
"The princess saved my family's life back then, but now Zhong's father is in trouble and is still being chased and killed by rebellious officials and thieves. I will definitely help Zhong's father."
Who is this man?It was Sun Ce who was sent back to Yangzhou by Sun Jian!The relationship between the Sun family and Yuan Shu is very good. Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the two families have basically attacked Jingzhou together.
In addition, there is a kite relationship in the middle, so even if Yuan Shu didn't say that he would join the Qingzhou camp, the relationship between the two parties is actually not broken as usual.
After Sun Ce returned to Yangzhou, he also heard that there was a war in Jiujiang County, so he brought 5000 people over to have a look.But because Yangzhou and Jiujiang also had enmity back then, the young general Naqu'a directly fought with Sun Ce, and the result was a draw.But Yuan Shu, who discovered the abilities of both parties, was naturally reluctant to see this, so he directly intervened and bluffed Sun Ce to his side.
After all, Yuan Shu is an adult, and he is more likely to fool people than these two children who may not even be in their twenties.Even Yuan Shu asked the two to distinguish between pros and cons, after all his brother is the most important enemy.
Yuan Shu said to them: "You guys are very good at martial arts, and you are basically evenly matched. What's more, you are still young. As young people, you should fight for your great cause."
"Whether it's Jiujiang or Jianye, aren't they all under the Qingzhou Emperor's subordinates now? And my brother is angry, and everyone has to punish him. Instead of fighting among you, how about fighting back to Yuzhou with me?"
The two nodded in agreement, and Sun Ce asked Yuan Shu when he would marry the princess.This question almost didn't make Yuan Shu cry, he didn't know when he could marry a kite.
So Yuan Shu sighed: "A man should make meritorious deeds. Now that the princess has a noble status, I don't know what status I need to marry her."
"No matter how bad I was, I was also the shepherd of Yuzhou. At first, I thought I could defeat Cao Mengde to control Yanzhou, and then the Queen was married to Zhiyuan. But now...it's really hard to describe."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, both the young general Naqu'a and Sun Ce nodded.Because Zhiyuan's status is really too high now, as a man, if he doesn't even reach the status of his wife, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Of course it was not Yuan Shu's fault, neither of them even blamed Yuan Shu for having this idea.It's all because Zhi Yuan's identity is too strong, and these two people really sympathize with Yuan Shu.So the two of them didn't hesitate, and directly planned to mix with Yuan Shu to take Yuzhou back first.
So Yuan Shu took advantage of his reputation and his promise to the local gentry, and soon pulled out another army in Jiujiang, and usually let his men train, and the soldiers with similar training were handed over to two young generals to lead. .
And none of the old people on Yuan Shu's side were greedy for their own positions, as long as the two young generals could help the lord to avenge their lord, they could arrange their positions in any way they wanted.In order to repay Yuan Shu's kindness, the two young generals also worked hard under Yuan Shu's hands.
So when Zhiyuan, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu were fighting fiercely in Yingchuan, Yuan Shu had already recruited more than 3 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians in Jiujiang and other counties of Yangzhou, and returned to Yuzhou again.
At this time, Yuan Shao's life in Yuzhou was not easy, because food and grass were always not enough.Even Yuan Shao here uses human flesh as a butcher shop for food, after all, this is a very normal thing in this era.
More than half of Yuzhou was devastated by the war. Yuzhou, which used to be over thousands of miles across the country, is now full of people, but now there is no one in sight for dozens of miles.People either fled to big cities, or were killed and exiled.Only a few civilians can successfully hide in the deep mountains and old forests to survive.
So it was very difficult for Yuan Shao to get some food and grass, and he didn't dare to offend the gentry here too much.After all, Yuan Shao relied on the support of the local gentry, and if he offended the gentry in the end, who would support him.
So I could only discuss it with the gentry here, but because the gentry here were afraid of being robbed by Lu Bu, they didn't trust Yuan Shao at all.So even if Yuan Shao had a good deal with the other party, the food and grass he got would not even be enough for one-tenth of their army's consumption.
But in the end, Yuan Shao didn't dare to attack those gentry, and in the end, there was no way to even occupy Peiguo.And Yuan Shu's foundation, Runan County, Yuan Shao, naturally had no ability to attack, not without soldiers but without food.
So now Yuan Shao's control area is only a small part of Liang Guo, Chen Guo, Lu Guo and Pei Guo.As for Yingchuan, it must be in the hands of Cao Cao and Zhiyuan, and most of the remaining Peiguo and Runan County are in the hands of Yuan Shu.
In fact, Yuan Shu still has some capital. After all, the land he can control now is close to half of Yuzhou.But the largest city in Yuzhou is Qiao, which has now been reduced to a piece of scorched earth.
And when Yuan Shu returned to the vicinity of Qiao again with tens of thousands of mighty people, Yuan Shao was indeed shocked.My brother is amazing, he managed to get tens of thousands of people back after running away for less than three months.
Moreover, it seemed that those soldiers were also well-dressed, which made Yuan Shao a little depressed.You said that you were originally from the noble family, and you had to get entangled with a woman.The most irritating thing is that he still can't be beaten to death. Is it interesting to fight against me?
Yuan Shu didn't think so, he looked at the tall and tall city and smiled: "I, Yuan Gonglu, are back again, brother, are you ready?!"
Chapter 420: Reversal of the Situation
Yuan Shao thought for a while, and then sent people out of the city to fight.It is recognized that Yuan Shu has few talents. Although the soldiers are quite powerful, most of the elite are dead.
Is it possible that a group of armed peasants who have just been conscripted can defeat my Yuan Benchu's army? "Yan Liangwen Chou, the two of you will directly defeat each other with a few weapons!"
"Then Yuan Gonggong's subordinates are almost dead. You can kill a few more to see who else can use him?!" Yuan Shao was very satisfied with his subordinates, so he directly gave them 1 people out of the city. .
Ten thousand regular troops fighting tens of thousands of peasants, and generals suppressing them... In Yuan Shao's view, there was no problem at all.
Not only Yuan Shao thought it was okay, but a group of passers-by A and B's generals also thought it was okay.This is a good opportunity to earn credit. As long as you kill a few more of Yuan Shu's subordinates, if you are lucky enough to kill one or two famous generals, then becoming a miscellaneous general will be perfect.
So everyone from top to bottom was eager to try, and soon led people out of Qiao to kill.Although he underestimated the enemy, at least his morale was high. Yuan Shao was very comfortable looking down on the city wall.
Yuan Shu sneered, he could see his brother's contempt for him. "I won't participate in the battle this time. The two of you have discussed it. It doesn't matter if you are defeated. After all, it is the first time you have led so many troops."
When Yuan Shu said this, the two of them were moved to tears.From ancient times to the present, there have been such lords who have worked hard to build an army of tens of thousands of people, and then tell you where to squander it, and it will not destroy you if you defeat it.
General Qu A bowed to Yuan Shu: "Don't worry, the governor, the other general is definitely not my opponent. This is the first battle between the two of us, so let the world know how powerful we are!"
Sun Ce nodded in the same way: "Father Zhong, don't worry, my ability is better than my father's. Today I will let these bastards see my little overlord's ability!"
The two rode directly and led the team to confront Yan Liangwen and Chou, and rode to the position of a stone's throw.The two knew in their hearts that the soldiers on their side were all recruits, and they would definitely not be opponents of each other in a real fight.
At this time, the generals singled out became the fastest way to suppress the opponent's morale and make the opponent collapse quickly.As for why they are singled out, because they are small...
He was a general he had never seen before, and he was still very young. It was quite normal for Yuan Shao to be contemptuous of him.
The young general Qu'a shouted to the opposite side: "I am the young general Qu'a, I have no name or surname... Is there anyone who wants to die, I will give him a ride!"
After saying this, Yan Liangwen Chou burst into laughter.There was even a general who shouted to this side: "Is the baby weaned?"
Yan Liang smiled at Wen Chou: "Yuan Shu really has no one to use, just send someone to kill the opponent, and then cover the kill and it's over."
A general said to Yan Liang: "It's just a baby, I'll get his head!"
Yan Liang saw that he was a general who had just been promoted from the school lieutenant, and he was from a noble family in Yuzhou.After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Go ahead, even though there are only two children, I will still credit you."
"No!" The general was very happy, and rode directly to the opposite side of the two young generals.The young general Qu'a was about to go up, when Sun Ce suddenly whispered from behind: "Pretend to be evenly matched to win, so that you can kill a few more."
The young general Qu A grinned: "Hey, not bad..." Then he rode over immediately.
General Na Pi said to young general Qu A: "Remember your grandfather's name, Chen Guo and Chen Qisheng!"
The young general Qu'a made a helpless expression, then smiled at the other party: "I have no name and no surname, just call me nameless. After I go down, report my name, maybe I can be reborn into a good family in the future."
The two of them fought together after talking about the scene. As soon as the young general Qu A stretched out his hand, he knew that the other party was going to die. If the fight really started, he might not be able to kill him in one round.
But in order to be able to kill a few more people, the young general Qu A could only endure himself, fight the opponent for twenty or so rounds, and then bought a loophole to stab the opponent to death.
Yuan Shu could see clearly from behind that the general who came up, Yuan Shu, estimated that he could kill him, but he was naturally not a stupid person, so he chatted directly with Ji Ling and the others.
After a person died, Yan Liang yelled that he was unlucky. "It's such a waste, you can't even beat a child... Hurry up and get another one..."
Another general rushed out, and was killed in more than 20 rounds...and then another...and another...one...one...
It wasn't until there were five corpses on the ground that Yan Liang and Wen Chou realized something was wrong.Looking at the child with a sneer on his face, Yan Liang rushed forward.
The young general Qu'a laughed, and then said to Yan Liang: "Finally, someone who can fight has come, let me see your skills!"
The two directly bumped into each other, and Yan Liang discovered that the kid was surprisingly skilled in martial arts. The two sides fought for half an hour, but the other party gradually suppressed him.
"Crap. Ah...then where did Yuan Shu find this kid? Why is he so powerful?" Yan Liang became more and more frightened as he fought, and his moves began to become a little messy.
Wen Chou naturally found out what was wrong with Yan Liang, and then he rode his horse and planned to come over to help, but at this moment Sun Ce stopped Wen Chou suddenly. "Your opponent is me!"
The four of them fought for half an hour, and finally Yan Liang couldn't bear it anymore.But Yan Liang knew that he couldn't run to the main formation, but ran to the side and directly copied the bow and arrow.
When the young general Qu'a was chasing after him, Yan Liang shot back with an arrow.The young general Qu'a reacted quickly, he actually caught the arrow with his hand and then shot back with an arrow, which directly hit Yan Liang's shoulder.
Yan Liang had no choice but to retreat to the front line, Wen Chou desperately forced Sun Ce to save Yan Liang.At this time, the young general Qu'a greeted his own formation, and more than 2 people directly followed these two men into Yuan Shao's formation.
Five generals died in the front, and their own general Yan Liangwenchou was still being chased by the opposite side. The morale of the troops was still low. As Yan Liangwenchou fled, their 1 people were directly defeated.
Yuan Shu yelled out excitedly, and led the rest of the team to chase down the opponent's rout.Fortunately, it is not too far from the city gate, and Yuan Shao on the city wall can really see it.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou had just been defeated, and Yuan Shao directly led more than 1 people out of the city to meet them. The two sides fought under the city wall until evening before withdrawing from each other.Yuan Shu pointed at Yuan Shao on the city wall with his sword, full of provocation.
But Yuan Shao was almost so angry that he vomited blood. He didn't expect his younger brother to get two such powerful generals.
After the victory, Yuan Shu led people to build a camp not far from the city, preparing to lead people to a decisive battle with his brothers.
Chapter 420: Serving the Son of Heaven to Discourage Disobedience
ps: The business trip is over, what about on the train, the signal is too bad in the morning, so it is only now.
After Yuan Shu set up camp outside Qiao, he sent Liang Gangle out to harass Yuan Shao's food team.It was already difficult for Yuan Shao to supply supplies here, but now it will be even more difficult...
However, the counselors on Yuan Shao's side didn't have any good solutions. Even the two young generals saw through the two night raids, and finally ran back to Qiaocheng with lost troops.
The food was getting less and less, and Yuan Shao would soon have to drink porridge for one meal a day.That's a fart... Yuan Shao's people are planning to retreat, because the tens of thousands of people really can't hold on here.
Yuan Shao himself was really going to die of anger. He thought that beating his younger brother this time would be very smooth. He even thought that after annexing Yuzhou, he could go south and beat Zhiyuan's army out of Jingzhou.
But now it seems that they are really thinking too much, but they can't hold it if they don't retreat. In the end, the tens of thousands of them may starve to death in Qiaocheng.
But leaving Yuzhou like this, Yuan Shao is not reconciled at all... He can't come here once, the land is not obtained, the people are not obtained, and there is no benefit in losing troops and generals in the end.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but cast his eyes on the nobles of Yuzhou again. Since this place cannot be occupied by me, I have to take away the money and population no matter what.Since Yuan Shu killed a group of people, those people who we left will naturally follow us...
Otherwise, they are enemies, wouldn't it be better to kill them all?At this time, Yuan Shao naturally began to think for himself.After counting the food and grass in Qiaocheng, Yuan Shao sent someone to pass on the counties and counties he currently controls.
The gentry in Yuzhou were really unlucky. Yuan Shu killed a group in front, and Lu Bu robbed a group like a mad dog. In the end, Yuan Shao planned to move them back to Jizhou. The gentry cried and wiped their tears, but there was no use……
