Chapter 600: Lu Bu uses a plan
However, he said that Lu Bu led the army back to the village, and had already fought a few battles with Cao Cao, and also saw the strength of Cao Cao's fierce generals. This article was published by www. lwΟο½520γ If the first com was before, before he had an intersection with the Shuntian Alliance, Lu Bu would naturally think that several fierce generals under Cao Cao were rare strong generals in the world. However, Lu Bu has now stepped into the realm of the sixth sense, and those top-level generals are no longer attractive to him. Therefore, Lu Bu decided to abandon Yanzhou and go to Xuzhou to fish in troubled waters according to Yuan Chang's plan.
As soon as Lu Bu's words were finished, Zhang Liao stood up and said cautiously: "Wen Hou, now that we have fought a few battles with Cao Cao, our army still has an advantage, and retreating at this time is afraid that it will attract Cao Cao's attention and cause unnecessary trouble." If he fought with Cao Cao a few more times, Wen Hou deliberately lost and left, so that Cao Cao might not be noticed. β
Zhang Liao was a little apprehensive at the moment, and he didn't know if Lu Bu would listen to his persuasion. Knowing this, he wouldn't have taken over the task assigned to him by Yuan Chang in the first place.
It turned out that Yuan Chang knew that after Lu Bu's strength improved, today, except for the Shuntian Alliance, I am afraid that no one can bring Lu Bu the pleasure of fighting. Therefore, Yuan Chang expected that Lu Bu would definitely give up Yanzhou directly and go to Xuzhou. Although it is inevitable to give up Yanzhou, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and Lu Bu's approach will inevitably attract Cao Cao's attention. For example, Cao Cao recovered Yanzhou, and LΓΌ Bu defeated Xuzhou, at this time, Emperor Han Xian's edict to let all forces Qin Wang should also be issued. If Cao Cao stared at Lu Bu and missed the trajectory of holding Emperor Han Xian hostage, and instead let others snatch Emperor Han Xian, it would have an impact on Yuan Chang's previous plan, which Yuan Chang did not want to see. Of course, no matter who snatched Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, it didn't matter much to Yuan Chang, but Yuan Chang didn't want to have more branches, and it was best to move forward according to the trajectory of history. So far, at least, the impact of the other states has not materialized, except for a slight change in Youzhou. As for Liu Bei's changes in Xuzhou, because Yuan Chang had already sent troops to Goguryeo, and Yuan Chang also said that Liu Bei would capture Xuzhou, although Diao Xiuer had received information from the Xuzhou spies, she didn't pay too much attention to it. As for the consequences of Liu Bei's transformation, it is unknown.
Therefore, for this reason, before Yuan Chang left Yanzhou, he gave Zhang Liao a task, asking him to keep an eye on Lu Bu, not to give up Yanzhou too lightly, and at least to make Cao Cao some trouble. Therefore, Zhang Liao will stand up and advise after Lu Bu made a decision. Throughout historical records, after Lu Bu made a decision, it seems that he has never been influenced, so Zhang Liao is a little nervous, I don't know if Lu Bu can listen to his own advice, and even, Zhang Liao is ready for Lu Bu to refute. At that time, he can only move out of Yuan Chang, and as for whether Yuan Chang can suppress Lu Bu, it is not his concern. Anyway, Yuan Chang and Lu Bu are Weng's sons-in-law, how to fight, Zhang Liao is too lazy to deal with it.
Lu Bu's eyes seemed to be staring at Zhang Liao through a qiΔ, and after seeing the latter's scalp numb, Lu Bu grinned and said casually: "What Wen Yuan said is also true, Ben Wenhou worked hard to win Yanzhou, and he can't give it to Cao Cao so lightly, but he must let him suffer some hardships." β
"Whew!"
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to move Yuan Chang out. In fact, if Yuan Chang wanted to move out to suppress Lu Bu, Zhang Liao was not very willing. Who knows if they had a grudge in their previous life or what, as soon as they met, they were bickering. Lu Bu likes to fight again, and the last time Yuan Chang came, he dragged Yuan Chang to challenge him, and the result was naturally self-evident, Lu Bu was repaired. Then, Zhang Liao and them were unlucky, and Lu Bumei said that he wanted to train them, and vented the anger of being repaired by Yuan Chang on Zhang Liao and them. Of course, Zhang Liao's strength has indeed increased, but this process has made Zhang Liao unbearable.
Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "Ben Wenhou remembers that there is a rich Toda clan in the city, and there will be thousands of people in the family, who are the giants in the city. He can secretly send someone to Cao Cao's camp, saying that Ben Wenhou is cruel and unkind, and the people are resentful. If you want to move troops to Liyang today, there will be Gao Shun in the city. can enter the army overnight, and I will be the internal response. If Cao Cao enters the city, set fire to the four city gates, ambush some soldiers and horses outside, give Cao Cao some hardship, and then let him go. Thinking that Cao Cao's treachery will inevitably give birth to a plan from this, and at that time, Ben Wenhou will leave Yanzhou again by deception, naturally for sufficient reasons, and will not attract Cao Cao's attention. β
"Wen Hou's plan is very good!"
"Wen Hou is talented through heaven and earth, and his subordinates are impressed!"
Lu Bu is actually a brave and resourceful guy, but his courage is too strong. is the so-called one force to ten meetings, in Lu Bu's opinion, he will definitely not use his head to solve the things that can be solved by force, that would be too troublesome. Now that the eight generals under his command, except for Zhang Liao, who is slightly better, the other seven are too bad in terms of strategy, and Lu Bu has nothing to rely on, so he can only do it himself. Knowing this, he shouldn't have let Chen Gong go in the first place, at least, he would have taken more time. Now, it's too late to regret it.
"Humph!"
Lu Bu snorted lightly, not knowing whether he was complacent with his intelligence or dissatisfied with his sycophants. After giving some orders, let the generals go to prepare, and finally left Zhang Liao behind, saying that he wanted to strengthen Zhang Liao's training. In this regard, the rest of the people could only give Zhang Liao a sympathetic expression, and then left in a hurry, lest they be affected by the pond fish. Zhang Liao knew that Lu Bu must have seen through his thoughts just now, and now it was Chi Guoguo's revenge on him, so why bother!
On the other side, Cao Cao suffered a defeat and was depressed.
According to Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's considerations, Lu Bu seems to have no intention of occupying Yanzhou, plus he thinks that Lu Bu has courage and no strategy, so he thinks that it should be very simple to take Lu Bu. However, unexpectedly, he fought several battles with Lu Bu, all of which were defeats, which made Cao Cao depressed and wondered at the same time whether Lu Bu had the idea of occupying Yanzhou. At this time, the subordinates who were sent by the Tian clan to surrender also arrived in Cao Cao's camp. The secret letter said: "Lu Bu has gone to Liyang, and the city is empty. Hope to come quickly, when it is an internal response. A white flag is planted in the city, and the word 'righteousness' is written in a big book, which is a code. β
When Cao Cao saw the letter, he was overjoyed.
But it is said that Cao Cao is a hero, and his treachery is naturally extraordinary. Because Lu Bu was preparing to give up Yanzhou and go to Xuzhou to stir up the wind and rain, there were soldiers in the army who were packing up their burdens. And Cao Cao also had his own meticulous work in the city, knowing this situation, plus losing a few battles, and he didn't hear of any outstanding talents under Lu Bu's command, so he didn't think that this was Lu Bu's strategy.
Cao Cao didn't doubt it, but Xi Zhicai had some concerns. However, if it was true, he couldn't miss this opportunity, so he persuaded him: "Although Lu Bu is brave and unstrategic, he also needs to guard against whether he is cheating. Therefore, the subordinates thought that when the Ming Duke went, he should divide the soldiers and horses into three teams, two teams were ambushed outside the city to respond, and one team entered the city. If there is fraud, you can also advance and retreat freely. β
Cao Cao did not object to the mention of Xi Zhicai. In history, because Chen Gong assisted Lu Bu, Cao Cao knew that Chen Gong's ability was good, just because he was not too outstanding, but he was also a trick; now, Chen Gong is not under Lu Bu, and Cao Cao will not have the slightest suspicion. Of course, in the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Liu Ye advised Cao Cao to do this, but in fact, this is impossible. You must know that Liu Ye only joined Cao Cao a year before the Battle of Guandu, so how could he propose to Cao Cao!
Liu Ye, as a talent in the late Cao Wei period, is also extremely outstanding.
When Liu Ye was in his twenties, the world was in turmoil, and most of the powerful people in Yangzhou were unwilling to suppress the strong and help the weak, and they were cunning and brutal. There are Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Gan and others in Yangzhou who support the army and respect themselves, among which Zheng Bao is the most brave and decisive, and his talent and strength are very prominent, which is feared by the locals. At that time, Zheng Bao wanted to kidnap the people to cross the Yangtze River to the Jiangnan region, and took a fancy to Liu Ye as a local celebrity of the Gao nationality, and wanted to force him to advocate this plan. Liu Ye was very scared when he found out, but he was not found by Zheng Bao. At this time, Cao Cao sent an envoy to Yangzhou, and Liu Ye went to see the envoy, discussed the current situation, and asked the envoy to stay there for a few days. Zheng Bao then led hundreds of people with cattle and wine to greet the envoy and waited for Liu Ye. Liu Ye set up a banquet for Zheng Bao's subordinates outside the middle gate, and he feasted with Zheng Bao inside, and secretly asked someone to kill Zheng Bao by taking the opportunity of toasting. But Zheng Bao turned out to be not good at drinking, and he paid attention to them, so that the man did not dare to start. Liu Ye then killed Zheng Bao with a saber with his own hands, beheaded him, and threatened his subordinates: "Duke Cao has an order, and those who dare to move will be guilty of the same crime as Bao." The people were shocked and frightened and ran back to the camp. At that time, there were still thousands of elite soldiers in the camp, and in order to prevent them from making trouble, Liu Ye rode Zheng Bao's horse to the gate of Zheng Bao's camp, and told some leaders Chen about the benefits and disadvantages, and finally everyone kowtowed to welcome Liu Ye. After Liu Ye entered the camp, he pacified the masses, made everyone submit, and elected Liu Ye as the new leader. But Liu Ye saw the decline of the Han family, and he was also a royal clan, so he didn't want to support the army, so he entrusted those parts to Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang. Liu Xun had a strong army between the Jianghuai and Huai at that time, and was feared by Sun Ce, so Sun Ce sent envoys to ask Liu Xun to attack Shangyu City on his behalf with humble words and treasures. Liu Xun believed in Sun Ce, and was very happy because he received the treasure, and everyone congratulated him, but Liu Ye was not happy. Liu Xun asked, and Liu Ye said: "Although the city is small, the city is strong and the pool is deep, and it is easy to attack and defend, so the soldiers are tired outside, and the country is empty." If you take advantage of the void and attack me, you can't defend it alone. It is to succumb to the enemy and retreat. If the army comes out today, disaster will come now. But Liu Xun didn't listen and insisted on sending troops. Sun Ceguo attacked Liu Xun from behind, and after Liu Xun failed, he defected to Cao Cao in the fourth year of Jian'an, and Liu Ye also followed.
Liu Ye Jian'an defected to Cao Cao in four years, and now Cao Cao has not held Emperor Han Xian hostage, so it is naturally impossible to be under Cao Cao. And Liu Ye, like Xun Yu, has been evaluated by Xu Shao, but there is a little difference. Xu Shao's evaluation of Xun Yu is "Wang Zuozhicai", but Liu Ye's evaluation is "Zuo's talent".
To put it simply, the so-called "Wang Zuozhicai" means that he has the ability to assist the emperor, and "Zuo Zhicai" is to assist a place, which can be a city, a county, or a state, and it is not suitable to assist the emperor.
In fact, judging from Liu Ye's later appearance, he is indeed not suitable to assist the emperor.
At that time, Liu Ye was favored and close to Cao Ei, and once Cao Ei planned to attack Shu Han, the courtiers said no, but Liu Ye privately said yes to Cao Ei; At that time, Yang Ji, the leader of the army, was favored by Emperor Ming, and also respected Liu Ye, who was the minister who was most opposed to Cao Rong's invasion of Shu. Later, Yang Ji and Cao Rong discussed the attack on Shu Han, and Yang Ji earnestly admonished and opposed; Cao Rong accused him of being a Confucian and did not understand military affairs, so Yang Ji moved out Liu Ye, who had always opposed the attack on Shu and was also an important minister, to advise Cao Rong, but Cao Rong had been listening to Liu Ye say that he could attack, so he came to confront Yang Ji, but Liu Ye did not say a word when he was summoned. Later, Liu Ye met Cao Ei again in private, and Liu Ye accused Cao Ei of not telling others about the plan to destroy Shu at will, and even said that he suspected that Shu Han had learned the information that Cao Ei was going to attack, and Cao Ei thanked Liu Ye even more. Later, Yang Ji accused him of being too blunt in his remarks to the monarch and should be expressed tactfully, and Yang Ji thanked him. Some people were very disgusted to see Liu Ye so skillfully flattering these two aspects, so they slandered Liu Ye to Emperor Ming, and even more Jianyi Emperor Ming summoned Liu Ye to ask him with the opposite opinion, if he agreed with everything, it means that Liu Ye is trying to figure out what he wants. Later, Cao Rong tried, and sure enough, he alienated Liu Ye because of this. Liu Ye went crazy because of this, and in the sixth year of Taihe, he was reappointed as a doctor in Taizhong due to illness, and soon became the Great Honglu. Two years later, he was appointed as a doctor in Taizhong, and then died.
Any Son of Heaven, the most disgusted is the minister who thinks about the will, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, they are the Son of Heaven, how can their own ideas be seen through by mortals. Therefore, Liu Ye, as a minister, to figure out Cao Ei's thoughts, naturally did not like Cao Ei, and in the end, his rights were hollowed out and he became a minister in name only. It can be seen that Xu Shao's evaluation of Liu Ye's "talent in the world" is also quite correct.
However, it was said that Cao Cao led the army to the city, and saw that the city was full of flags, and on the corner of the west gate, there was a white flag with the word "righteousness", and he was secretly happy in his heart. At noon that day, the city gate opened, and two soldiers would lead the army into battle: Hou Cheng of the former army and Gao Shun of the rear army. even if Xu Chu is out of the horse, go straight to Hou Cheng. Hou Cheng couldn't resist the enemy, so he went back to Mawang City. Xu Chu rushed to the side of the suspension bridge, but Gao Shun couldn't stop him, so he retreated into the city. Within a few soldiers, they took advantage of the situation to come to see Cao, saying that they were the envoys of the Tian clan and presented a secret letter. The letter said: "At the beginning of the night tonight, the gong will be sounded in the city, and the army will be marched." A certain should be offered. Cao Cao assigned Xiahou Yuan to lead the army on the left, Cao Hong to lead the army on the right, and he led Xiahou Yuan and Li Dianle into Xu Chu's four generals and led the troops into the city. Li Dian said: "The lord is outside the city, and Rong and others will enter the city first." "I don't want to go forward, who is willing to move forward!"
Then he led the troops straight in. (To be continued.) )>
