[PS: Add WeChat public account: QD120xiaohua!]
"General, such an act is not unjust, but for self-preservation. Chen Gong's face was straight, and he said loudly: "Today's heroes are everywhere, the world is divided, General Meng Zhuo, you have such a vast land and a large number of soldiers, in the situation of being attacked on all sides, swords, you can also be called a hero among the people, but on the contrary, you are subject to others, isn't it detrimental to your identity? Today, the army of Yanzhou is crusading eastward, the city is empty, Wen Hou is a strong general, good at fighting, and moving forward bravely, if he is ushered in for the time being, occupy Yanzhou together, wait and see the situation, and act with the camera, so that he may be able to make a great cause!"
"No, no!"
Zhang Miao still shook his head insistingly, and said firmly: "Meng De treats me sincerely and entrusts Yanzhou to me, if I behave like this, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust, and how can I see people?
Chen Gong wanted to vomit blood, he said for a long time, Zhang Miao still didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't mean to be tempted at all.
And at this moment, Zhang Liao on the side couldn't help it, and stepped forward to persuade loudly: "General Meng Zhuo, this is also what my Wenhou wants." Wen Hou wants to join forces with the general, base himself in Yanzhou, watch the world's major events, and walk with the camera, at that time, he may be able to achieve a great cause!"
"Oh, this is really what Wen Hou wants? As far as I know, Wen Hou has no intention of fighting for hegemony, how can he succumb to the three acres of land in Yanzhou, Wen Yuan, you don't want to deceive me. β
Hearing that it was Lu Bu's thoughts, Zhang Miao was a little curious, but then he was a little suspicious. What Lu Bu is like, Zhang Miao knows very well about Lu Bu. Zhang Miao has worked hard, so. In the future, he will have the opportunity to join Lu Bu's harem. Now Zhang Liao said that this was Lu Bu's idea, and Zhang Miao was curious. Naturally, the first thought of suspicion arises.
"General Meng Zhuo, this is what my family Wenhou wants, it is true. β
Gao Shun interjected a sentence next to him, Zhang Miao also knows a lot about Gao Shun's personality, he is an upright person, since Gao Shun has said it, it will naturally not be fake, I think it is true. But. Zhang Miao was a little curious, how could Lu Bu suddenly change his mind?
Seeming to see Zhang Miao's curiosity, Zhang Liao smiled slightly and explained: "Wen Hou originally had no intention of participating in the competition for hegemony, but after arriving in Bohai County, he had a hearty conversation with Yuan Chengzhi, the Taishou of Bohai County, and finally changed his mind; However, after some persuasion by Mr. Gongtai, Wen Hou decided to take it by means of a plan and persuaded General Meng Zhuo to join forces with Wen Hou to occupy Yanzhou. Dominating the world. β
Zhang Miao was shocked when he heard Zhang Liao's explanation.
What kind of character Lu Bu is, how could Zhang Miao not know? Yuan Chang, the Taishou of Bohai County, was able to use a few words (in fact, he was beaten) to make Lu Bu change his mind, which shows that he must be an extraordinary person. is definitely a favored member of Lu Bu's harem group, and the white and tender Chen Palace in front of him can even make the brave and ruthless Lu Bu switch to strategy. is really a lot of capable people, and he Zhang Miao underestimated the heroes of the world. Obviously, Chen Gong was able to become a member of Lu Bu's harem group, and it was not for nothing. Such a character naturally has to make good friends, and he will definitely be able to enter Lu Bu's harem group smoothly in the future.
Zhang Miao nodded, pondered for a moment, and then slapped his thigh violently, and said loudly: "Since Wen Hou has such an idea, then Su will follow the general's wish and offer Yanzhou City to Wen Hou, and he is willing to assist Wen Hou." β
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were overjoyed when they heard this, but as for Chen Gong, their eyes were straight, and they were scorched by the thunder. Emotionally reporting Lu Bu's name can be a success, why did he bother to talk nonsense before? At this moment, Chen Gong also faintly discovered the full love between Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, and suddenly he only felt that the chrysanthemum shrank, as if it was not guaranteed. gritted his teeth, in order to show his talents, he offered chrysanthemums, what can he do. Thinking of this, Chen Gong only felt comfortable, as if he was entangled in the afterglow of a big battle.
"General Meng Zhuo, Mr. Gongtai, Fu Yi, since the discussion is proper, I will inform Yu Wenhou of the good news. You should prepare first, and when the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Wen arrive, you can act according to the plan. In order to complete Wenhou's plan, you must not slack off, otherwise, if you don't stop Wenhou from asking for guilt, you will not be spared. β
"Wen Yuan rest assured, he knows how to act. β
The four of them each gave their respects, and Zhang Liao didn't care about the hard work of the journey, so he hurriedly rode out of the city and went straight to Lu Bu's army.
Zhang Liao hurried all the way, and finally joined Lu Bu's large army in front of Zi Shi.
"Haha, Meng Zhuo Gaoyi, Ben Wenhou already knows!" Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao's narration and laughed and praised. "Chuan Ben Wen Hou ordered, rest on the spot for an hour, and then the army accelerated forward, and reached Puyang City before the sun rose tomorrow. β
Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and Gao Shun went for a day, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses also kept advancing. Now it is only more than 50 miles away from Puyang City, and now it is the time of the child, and it is the time of the sun to rest for an hour, and it is also an hour and a half to the sun rise. Under normal circumstances, the marching speed of infantry is 20 miles per hour, and that of cavalry is 30 miles per hour. However, of course, there is no problem if it is a rapid march, not to mention that the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command are all elites who have followed for a long time, and it is not a big problem to travel fifty miles in an hour and a half.
After resting, the army marched out of camp and entered Puyang City without suspense before the sun rose. Lu Bu and Zhang Miao met, and there was no need to say much to comfort each other hand in hand.
After Lu Bu's soldiers and horses settled in Puyang City, under the operation of Zhang Miao, they soon completely controlled Puyang City. When Zhang Miao summoned the officials in Puyang City and said that he would abandon Cao Cao and promote Lu Bu as the pastor of Yanzhou, things went unexpectedly smoothly, and no one objected. Later, Zhang Miao ordered all counties in Yanzhou to count Cao Cao's crimes, saying that he would overthrow Cao Cao and welcome LΓΌ Bu as the pastor of Yanzhou, so that they would also submit to LΓΌ Bu. Unexpectedly, the counties responded one after another, only the three counties of Dong'e, Fanxian, and Juancheng did not return to obedience, and under the control of Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, they stuck to the city.
The reason why the counties of Yanzhou so smoothly turned their backs on Cao Cao and returned to Lu Bu was also Cao Cao's own sin.
I think about the beginning, when Cao Cao first occupied Yanzhou. There are celebrities and several others who despise and belittle Cao Cao. After Cao Cao is a eunuch, what can he do to serve as the lord of a state. And so. Cao Cao was furious, so he naturally asked people to kill a few celebrities.
To know. Bian Rang and other celebrities were from the scholar clan, and Cao Cao's behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the scholar clan in Yanzhou.
Since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiuzhong revived the Han Dynasty, there have been many scholars, and they have basically controlled the political power in all parts of the world. Officials such as the state assassin and the state pastor may have been sent by the imperial court, but the counties and counties in the state are basically in charge of the children of the scholar clan, and if the state assassin and the state pastor do not have good relations with the scholar clan in the territory, it will be difficult to take charge of the work. Just like Liu Biao. It is the woman who marries the Cai family of the Jingzhou clan that can successfully control Jingzhou. Therefore, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and other celebrities, which naturally provoked the hornet's nest and laid the root of the curse.
In ordinary times, the scholars naturally fight with each other, and everyone wants to be the boss. However, when there is an invasion of foreign enemies, they are able to unite the front. After Cao Cao became a eunuch. dared to kill the children of the scholar clan, obviously not taking their scholar clan seriously. Therefore, after Zhang Miao ordered Cao Cao to abandon Cao Cao and welcome Lu Bu as the master. Naturally, they are the first to respond.
Puyang City Mansion Ya
When they heard the news of the surrender of the counties and counties in Yanzhou collected by the spies, Lu Bu's subordinates, as well as Zhang Miao and others, were naturally very happy. It's just that. I also heard about Juancheng and Dong'a. The three cities of Fan County did not return to obedience and still held on. Everyone was immediately unhappy again, and naturally anger followed.
Zhang Miao frowned and said: "Xun Yu and Cheng Yu have been following Cao Cao for a long time, and they are dead set on Cao Cao, and it is natural that they refuse to sacrifice the city and return to obedience. β
Chen Gong immediately stood up and proposed: "Wenhou, Juancheng, and the three cities of Dong'e are important places in Dongjun, and Wenhou should take these three cities as soon as possible." Once the three cities were captured, there would be no foundation for Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao would retreat without the need for Wen Hou to send troops. And among the three cities, Dong'a is the most. Dong'e County Order pays attention to agriculture and is good at farming. The warehouses in Yanzhou are empty of grain and grass, and only the grain in Dong'e City is full. Even if Cao Cao's army returned in time, if there was no grain and grass to provide, Cao Cao would not be able to solve the problem of lack of food, even if Cao Cao's army returned in time. Therefore, his subordinates thought that Wen Hou should send troops as soon as possible to take these three cities, at least to capture the city of Dong'e. β
"Wen Hou, the last general will ask for battle and take Juancheng!"
"Wen Hou, the last general will ask for battle and take Fan County!"
"Wenhou, the last general will ask for battle and take Dong'a!"
Chen Gong's words fell, and the eight strong generals under Lu Bu came out one after another to ask for battle. The Eight Warriors are actually brave and ruthless with Lu Bu, otherwise they would not have urinated into a pot with Lu Bu. And the reason why they don't dare to fight with Lu Bu is also a very normal thing, no one will eat enough and have nothing to do to abuse people.
The eight strong generals under his command asked for battle, but Lu Bu did not accept it. His eyes rolled, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, Lu Bu put away his thoughtful expression, looked at the group of subordinates, and directly ordered: "Now that you have recently joined the army of Ben Wenhou, you have not made an inch, and Ben Wenhou does not know what position to give you. However, at present, the three cities of Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e are the test for you, and according to your actions, Ben Wenhou will give the corresponding position. β
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and the eight generals under their command were even more dumbfounded. With Lu Bu's character, it is simply illogical that he would not even think of personally leading the troops to attack the city! However, Lu Bu has always said that since he has already decided, he will naturally not repent.
Lu Bu did not wait for his subordinates to answer, and said directly: "Gongtai, Dong'e is the most important, so it will be handed over to you to capture; Fan County is adjacent to Juancheng, echoing Juancheng from afar, and forming horns with each other, which is also extremely important. In the end, Juancheng remained, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu both defended it, and there were also the families of Cao Cao's subordinate Wenwu, if they could take it, it would be the best. Meng Zhuo, this city was handed over to Brother Ling to capture, and Xu Yan and Wang Kai assisted him. β
Zhang Miao naturally did not violate Lu Bu's orders in the slightest, Chen Gong had recently joined Lu Bu's command and wanted to show his talents, so he would not refuse either; LΓΌ Bu left Bohai County with 5,000 soldiers and horses, while there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in Puyang City, and most of the soldiers obeyed the order to follow Zhang Miao to submit to LΓΌ Bu. Only a few of the 1,000 or 2,000 soldiers were estimated to be Cao Cao's diehards, and after learning that Zhang Miao had returned to Lu Bu, they hurriedly ran to Juancheng to report to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.
When the irrelevant officials and generals were waved away, and only Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Eight Jian Generals, and Zhang Miao and his brother Zhang Chao were left in the mansion, Zhang Miao thought about it and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Wen Hou, seeing that you are acting like this, it seems that you have no intention of taking down the three cities of Dong'e, Fan County, and Juancheng, what does this mean?"
Lu Bu didn't answer Zhang Miao's words, but looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Gongtai, in your opinion, how sure are you that you will win Dong'e?"
Chen Gong wanted to answer immediately that it was ten percent, but, after thinking about it, Lu Bu only gave him five thousand soldiers and horses, Dong'e has the advantage of the city wall, plus there is enough food and grass in Dong'e City, as long as the guards in the city are not stupid, go out of the city to fight him, defend the city, and wait for Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to come back is no problem at all. After thinking about it, Chen Gong stretched out a hand.
"Fifty percent!"
"Haha!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "Gongtai, what you said is fifty percent hopeful, or do you think that Dong'a Shou will go out of the city to fight you? Dong'e County Ling Zao Yuan is known for his talents, and under his governance, Dong'e County is rich in food and materials, and is deeply loved by the people. It is to give you 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the love of the soldiers and people in the city of Dong'a for Zaoyuan will not be able to take it in a short time. Therefore, what Meng Zhuo said was not wrong, Ben Wenhou did not think about taking these three cities. β
"Wen Hou, what does this mean?" Chen Gong's face was slightly gloomy, feeling that Lu Bu was teasing him by letting him lead his troops to attack Dong'e City. As for Lu Bu's demeanor at the moment, it was not as unbearable as the folk rumored to be, but Chen Gong didn't notice it for a while.
"Don't be annoyed, Ben Wenhou is not fooling you. β
Lu Bu knew Chen Gong's thoughts, and hurriedly comforted him, and then took out a sallow note from his arms and handed it to everyone to watch.
"Persuade General Zhang Miao to return to Shun, Yanzhou can be captured without blowing away; after that, Dong'e, Fanxian, and Juancheng will inevitably defend to the death, and there is no need to attack them; wait for Cao Cao to return to help, engage him, defeat Cao Cao, and go to Xuzhou!"
Seeing the content on the paper, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao brothers both widened their eyes with a ghostly expression, while Zhang Liao and the other eight strong generals had no change in their faces, as if they had known about it for a long time. (To be continued.) )
