Chapter 159: Tranquility and Solemnity
In fact, Yuan Yao did not say that he wanted to lead the army to ask for battle, but because Li Tong's invitation to fight was too loud, Yuan Yao's voice was completely covered.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Yuan Yao hurriedly repeated his words again: "The last general is anxious to hope that the general will be a little more convenient. ”
As soon as Yuan Yao said this, everyone understood that it was a misunderstanding of Yuan Yao.
Anyone who says that he is anxious in front of a group of people will not say it out loud, and on important occasions, this kind of thing can generally be endured. Now that Yuan Yao said it, it must be the situation that he can't help it.
Zhang Xiu snorted and laughed, and waved his hand to signal permission. Yuan Yao immediately felt like he had been pardoned, hurriedly thanked him, and then quickly retreated with one hand covering his abdomen.
Yuan Yao hurriedly withdrew from the front hall with his front foot, and his back foot didn't care about maintaining his dignified appearance as a captain of the Shouchun Palace in front of the Wuwei Battalion armor in front of the door, so he ran directly to the toilet.
Zhang Xiu's current Zhendong General's Mansion is actually the mansion where Yuan Yao lived before, and Yuan Yao is more familiar with it than anyone else. Turn right from the front hall door, then continue to turn right and go straight and turn left again**, you will find a place to go to the toilet.
Yuan Yao was really anxious this time, he didn't slow down when he turned the corner, and turned straight on the spot while holding on to the corner.
This sudden rush happened to hit a maid who came with a fruit bowl on the other side of the corner.
The maid was petite and thin, and when she was hit by Yuan Yao, she took six or seven steps back, and the fruit bowl she was holding in both hands was also dumped, scattering autumn fruits all over the ground.
Yuan Yao can't get out of his temper at this time. Not just because the mansion has changed owners now, but because he is really reaching the limit.
The maid just stabilized her figure and saw Yuan Yao clearly, and was about to bow her head and apologize, but Yuan Yao passed her directly, and ran to the backyard without looking back.
Leaving this maid to look at Yuan Yao's back blankly for a while, I didn't know what to do, knowing that Yuan Yao disappeared around the corner of the backyard, this maid reacted and hurriedly went to pick up melons and fruits all over the ground. Fortunately, at this time, there were two maids passing nearby, and when they saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to help, but they were not in a hurry.
……
In the front hall, Zhang Xiu finally opened his mouth to determine the candidate for the main general of Liu Kangcao, that is, let Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to go together, regardless of the main and deputy divisions, and Liu Bei will be the main dispatcher.
Zhang Xiu heard a sentence in his previous life: The lock is used to prevent a gentleman, but it can never prevent a thief.
If Liu Bei really had the intention of annexing Zhang Xiu's subordinates, in the case of Zhang Xiu going to Jiangdong, no one would be able to stop Liu Bei from showing his charm. Rather than this, it is better to be more upright and directly let Liu Bei go to Zhang Xiujun to command. In the end, if Zhang Xiujun really had the situation of betraying Zhang Suiliu, the people of the world would be able to understand the ambition of this grassroots emperor uncle more clearly.
Of course, Zhang Xiu believes that Liu Bei, the hidden dragon, will never show his fox tail before he is absolutely sure. So naturally, he doesn't have to worry about Liu Bei's dissent now.
Regarding the situation that Zhang Xiu sent Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to the north to resist Cao at the same time, but Shouchun would not have a general to defend it, most of the people present understood that Zhang Xiu was ready to promote a good general to entrust him with important tasks.
Sure enough, immediately after agreeing to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's invitation to fight, Zhang Xiu asked General Li Tong to take charge of the heavy responsibility of staying in Shouchun, and proposed that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin shoulder the burden of guarding Huainan together.
Speaking of which, I would like to thank Sun Ce for the silk book he gave to Zhang Xiu in the Battle of Lingyang. When Zhang Xiu sent this silk book to Zhou Yu to read, the governor of Zhou finally basically forgave Zhang Xiu for betraying the alliance and attacking Jiangdong for no reason, but the governor of Zhou was still angry about sending dead soldiers to Sun Ce to assassinate him.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiu was very glad that he didn't tell Zhou Yu that he had smeared mad dog liquid on the weapon that assassinated Sun Ce, although this matter was very disgraceful and made Zhang Xiu feel guilty, but it was better for it to rot in his stomach.
There is another thing that Zhang Xiu couldn't figure out before he came to the Three Kingdoms. That is why in history, why did Sun Ce die violently after being assassinated, when he could have been cured? Death in a largely avoidable situation! This incident made Zhang Xiu in his previous life extremely unable to figure it out, and sighed more than once.
But in this life, Zhang Xiu knew that Sun Ce would "die".
The three people who asked to fight, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Li Tong were very satisfied with Zhang Xiu's resolution. They can all use their martial arts in important places. As for the military division of the army, Chen Gongmao recommended himself. When everyone had no opinion, Zhang Xiu appointed Chen Gong as the supervising army, and went to the battlefield in Xuzhou with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were familiar with each other.
Guanglu doctor Jia Xu doesn't need to go to Jiangdong with Zhang Xiu this time, just sit in Shouchunzhen and have a small night.
A few days later, Zhang Xiu took several generals and the guards of the Wuwei battalion, as well as Lusu, Zhuge Jin, and Lu Xun, and went to Jiangdong three times.
At the same time, Tancheng, Donghai County, Xuzhou.
At this time, the political and economic center of Xuzhou in Tancheng has not yet been replaced by Pengcheng, which is more convenient, and it is still the seat of Xuzhou. According to the practice at this time, Tancheng was also called Xuzhou City at this time. This is just like the later Jiangling was called Jingzhou City as the center of Jingzhou, and Xindu was called Jizhou City as the center of Jizhou.
Although there was already news that Cao Cao personally led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xuzhou, the city of Xuzhou was still peaceful and peaceful.
The bustling crowds of people in the bazaars are busy with their work, the streets are quietly sweeping the autumn leaves, and the farmers in the suburbs are rushing to harvest the forage and chop firewood before the frost falls. If it weren't for the men in the barracks outside the city collecting their tents and food at the sound of horns, the quartermasters distributing arrows and rations, and the soldiers changing into new armor and weapons, there would have been a hint of the atmosphere of imminent war.
In fact, not only Xuzhou City, but most of the people of Xuzhou were not much alarmed by the news of Cao's attack, except for those who lived near the border of Xuzhou.
You must know that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the first time several years ago, but he brought three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses. But as a result, he could only bully the unarmed ordinary people of Xuzhou and the Xuzhou army built by Tao Qian, but as soon as Liu Zhijun led his headquarters to rescue Xuzhou, Cao Cao retreated overnight!
In the past few years, although the lord of Xuzhou has changed again and again, the deepest memory of the people of Xuzhou City is the battle when Liu Zhijun led the army to break through the blockade of Cao's army and enter Xuzhou City.
In that battle, the so-called invincible myth of Cao Jun saw the ghost, Liu Yuanjun took his two brothers of the opposite sex, and a white-robed young general, killed Cao Jun is people on their backs and turned over one after another, and defeated Cao Jun's generals in the battle, and also killed more than a dozen Cao military captains, and finally in front of Cao Cao's thieves, calmly entered the besieged iron barrel-like Xuzhou City.
This battle is an indelible memory for all Xuzhou people. Because later, after Liu Yuanjun sent a letter of persuasion to Cao Cao's thief, the invincible murderer Cao Cao immediately agreed, and ran back to his Yanzhou lair with his tail between his legs the next day.
You must know that at the beginning, Tao Qian Tao stabbed Lord Shi in the city and was supported by others, and apologized to Cao Cao for peace in front of everyone in the city, but all he got was Cao Cao's bloody scolding. But Liu Yuanjun only fought a battle and wrote a letter, and he was able to persuade Cao Cao's army of three or four hundred thousand to retreat, what kind of prestige is this!
Moreover, the old man Tao, who was humble to the people, fell ill and died, so that all the people of Xuzhou rushed to be even more fortunate that Xuzhou had a more loving and benevolent uncle than Tao Qian's benevolence!
Although Liu Yuanjun was born from the grassroots, he is a serious Han clan member and a descendant of the Liu family! Thinking about the days when Uncle Liu Huang ruled Xuzhou, I don't know how many old people in Xuzhou wept and sighed, this generation can still live a few days of Wenjing's rule and the glory of Wuzhongxing, I really dare not think about it!
Later, Liu Zhijun's righteous brother was careless for a while, and was taken away by Lu Bu's white-eyed wolf, Uncle Liu Huang temporarily lived in Xiaopei, how many people of Xuzhou hated the Lu family and regretted defecting to Uncle Liu Huang. During this period, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, two great rebels, wanted to seize Xuzhou many times, all of them were in the case of Uncle Liu Huang still sitting in Xuzhou to keep the land of Xuzhou, Uncle Liu's virtue is higher than the sky, thicker than the earth!
It is precisely because of the merit of benevolence and righteousness that God let Uncle Liu Huang get Xuzhou again this time. This can be said to be very fortunate in Xuzhou, and the world is very lucky!
In the past, Uncle Liu Huang had the fact of an imperial uncle, but he did not have the name of an imperial uncle. This time, Uncle Liu endured the humiliation of Cao Cao, but he saw his nephew of the little emperor, and he also entered the Han family tree for the emperor himself, and was personally called Uncle Huang by the emperor and named General Zuo. From now on, we will be the lord of Xuzhou, and the name change is just right!
The last time Xuzhou was seized by Cao Cao, it was because Lu Bu's white-eyed wolf was in charge of Xuzhou. This time, Uncle Liu Huang led tens of thousands of male soldiers to take charge of Xuzhou, so why be afraid of Cao thieves?
At the beginning, you Cao thief led 340,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xuzhou under the rescue of Liu Yuanjun's 5,000 military horses, but you failed to capture it, this time you only brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, do you still dream of defeating Xuzhou, where our army and people are united?
……
The people of Xuzhou were not panicked about resisting Cao, but Liu Bei's mansion at this moment was solemn under heavy pressure.
Liu Bei sat upright on the high hall, and the three Confucian scribes on the left were Chen Deng, Mizhu, and Sun Qian, and on the right were also three military generals, Zhang Fei Mifang and a strong man.
Another engaged in Jian Yong, who was made by Liu Bei and sent to Hebei to ask for help from Yuan Shao. Liu Bei's second brother, Guan Yu, led an army by himself, guarded Pengcheng outside, and guarded Cao Ren's Cao army.
Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Dafei, as well as Chen Deng, the representative of the wealthy family in Xuzhou, as well as the brothers of the Xuzhou grassroots tycoon Mi family, and Sun Qian, a relative minister, do not need to be introduced, the only thing worth mentioning is that this general who sat under Zhang Fei and entered Liu Bei's camp for the first time.
