Chapter 266: The Wind Rises

Zhang Xiu led the king to return to Shouchun in the north, and the news of the fall of Wu and the Lianheng of Chu and Han also spread all over the north and south of the river at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe princes and kings of various countries can no longer hold back the ambitions in their hearts, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has become history, and there is no need to hide anything at this time.

So in June, the most powerful vassal state in the world, the Yuan and Jin Kingdoms, finally declared war on the Wei State, the biggest stumbling block to their unification of the world! Yuan Shao, the king of Jin, personally commanded 500,000 Hebei soldiers and waved his army south again.

After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Cao was defeated and wounded. However, Cao's army lost more than half of the main army, while Yuan's army lost only millions of grains and grass and a large amount of ordnance and baggage. However, Hebei has a large population and a wide range of people, and the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses lost by the Yuan clan can be replenished soon, but not Cao's army.

The strategists of the Jin State naturally knew this, so it is not difficult to understand that Yuan Shao was in a hurry to go on the expedition again after only resting for half a year.

Even if I don't fully recover, you're in a worse situation! This is Yuan Shao's calculation.

Everyone in the world will plan the plate, and no one has ever miscalculated. Yuan Shao is exactly like this this time.

After the envoy sent to invite Liu Bei's alliance arrived in Xuzhou, he was delayed again by Liu Bei to avoid seeing him. After Yuan Shao sent his troops, Liu Bei suddenly changed his face and directly repatriated the envoy of the Jin State, announcing that the Lu State would send troops to attack the Jin State in the name of Zheng Xuan's death!

Zheng Xuan, who is it? The great Confucian and the master of scripture are also. He studied under Ma Rong, one of the representatives of Confucianism, but his learning and achievements were by no means lower than Ma Rong. He wrote countless books in his lifetime and founded "Zheng Xue", making unparalleled outstanding contributions to the history of the development of Chinese classics. "Zheng Xue" later gradually became the Confucianism of "the sect of the world".

It can be said that Zheng Xuannai was a representative figure of Confucianism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and no one else could stand out. However, what does he have to do with Liu Bei, and why did Liu Bei use his name to turn against Yuan?

Liu Bei studied under Lu Zhi with Gongsun Zhan in his early years, Lu Zhi was also a great Confucian, and his status in Confucianism was not low, and the most important thing is that he also studied under Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuannai was the same brother, and the relationship between the two was also very close. In the early days of Liu Bei's business, he went through several places in the plains, Gaotang, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and Zheng Xuan also lived in Xuzhou and Qingzhou at that time, and Liu Bei also visited during this period.

The benefits of visiting such a great Confucian are numerous, especially for those with political aspirations. And Liu Xuande has always been the kind of person who works tirelessly and refuses to let go of any bit of usefulness everywhere.

And today's Qingzhou Thorn History and Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Jin Kingdom, are also the same person, but compared with Liu Bei, who was born at the grassroots, the methods and practices of this extremely noble prince are not a little worse.

This lord is in Qingzhou, not to mention the strong men, and he also wantonly collects the remnants of the Yellow Turban and bandits to expand the army in his hands, and how can Qingzhou, which is already dilapidated and suffering from famine and turmoil, afford the daily squandering expenses of this eldest prince, how can he afford such a large-scale army, so he levied and extorted violently, and the people of Qingzhou all complained.

However, although this eldest prince is tossed, he still has brains, at least a few of the staff behind him still have some brains. So since it is unpopular with the people, then do something to restore the people's hearts. What to do? If Yuan Tan wants to recuperate, thrifty and diligent government, it will never be possible, then do something else, such as recruiting some people with popular will to do things for himself!

Zheng Xuan, the great Confucian of the world, is equivalent to winning the hope of Confucianism in the world. If such a powerful person was not recruited as an official by Emperor Ling and Emperor Xian, nor was he recruited as a staff member by his father Yuan Shao, but he was invited out of the mountain to be an official by himself, how much shock and impact would it have on the people of the world?

With Zheng Xuanzhixian, there is never a shortage of invitations to be drafted. It's a pity that a great Confucian like Zheng Xuan can't produce one in hundreds of years, and even if he does, he won't be born easily. was recruited and pleaded by the emperor and various forces for most of his life, but in the end, he was pinched by a prince of a family in an unpleasant way, such a situation, I am afraid that Zheng Xuan never expected, and it was also something that the world never expected.

But Zheng Xuan is old, and he is already seventy-four years old. The elderly suffer from the vicissitudes of life and often feel unwell. was invited by Yuan Tan from Gaomi to Beihai, bumpy all the way to the climate changes, and when he arrived, he was bedridden, so he finally died, and the world shook!

This time the world is really shaken! Especially Liu Bei, who was close to Xuzhou, when he heard that Zheng Xuan had died of illness, he suddenly lost his color and was stunned, and only after a while did he fall to the ground and cry bitterly, shouting his teacher and teacher again and again, and finally even fainted from crying.

When everyone woke up Liu Bei, the first thing Liu Bei said when he opened his eyes was: "Revenge!" Out of the teacher! ”

Lu Zhi is Liu Bei's real teacher, but it is undeniable that the world knows that Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi have a close and good relationship, and his disciples often come and go to listen to learning, and Liu Bei has always been active in the area of Xuzhou, Qingzhou, who knows if Liu Bei has worshiped Zheng Xuan as a teacher?

Even if you ask Zheng Xuan's descendant disciples or even his own son, it is useless, because Zheng Xuan has received too many disciples in his life, and thousands of people listened to his lectures at the peak, even if it was a war since the end of the Han Dynasty, but after the world heard that Zheng Xuan returned to his hometown of Qingzhou Gaomi, thousands of people often came from all over the world to learn from his teacher.

So Liu Bei declared war on the Yuan Jin Kingdom in the name of Zheng Xuan, but it was unexpected but reasonable for the people of the world. In fact, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son have advised Liu Bei to send troops to expand as soon as possible more than once. However, between attacking Huainan while Zhang Xiu was away and taking advantage of Yuan Cao's rivalry, Liu Bei decided to choose the latter.

Liu Bei's sudden declaration of war on the Yuan clan was also unexpected by Zhang Xiu.

"What do you think of Liu Bei's crime of holding Yuan Tan hostage and treating scholars lightly, and sending troops to Qingzhou in the name of Zheng Xuan's disciple?"

Sitting upright on the main hall of Shouchun Palace, Zhang Xiu threw the newspaper on the desk in front of him, bowed his head and asked with a smile.

With the development of the intelligence network now operated by the Chu State and the advanced means of transmitting information, it is just that Liu Bei issued a proclamation and the Lu army had just assembled, and the next day Shouchun received the summons.

The contents of the book were read out by the inner attendants, and only at this time did the generals and ministers of the Chu State not feel that Pei Yuanshao, the lieutenant general of the auxiliary army who was in the same hall with them, was reckless and rude. I feel that there is a reason why this person who doesn't have much martial arts and military leadership talent can be in the same hall with them.

Like others, such as Liu Pi, Gong Du, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Chen Ce and others, although they are also reckless, they have some real skills, and they have slowly sharpened their recklessness and showed their style. But only Pei Yuanshao, who followed Zhang Xiu at the earliest, not only did his style of grass not change, but he became more and more powerful, and none of his problems changed.

Greedy for money, happy horses, good wine, and vulgar words and deeds regardless of the occasion have increasingly embarrassed the civil and military forces of the Chu State, who regard themselves as orthodox civil and military generals. The key is that Zhang Xiu always turns a blind eye to these, and Jia Xu, the head of a hundred officials, is even slightly biased. Fortunately, this General Pei is not the kind of person who gets carried away and becomes more serious, so everyone can still endure it.

However, what aroused everyone to look at Pei Yuanshao was that when Zhang Xiu ordered the troops to be crowned generals, he actually sealed Pei Yuanshao as a lieutenant general of the auxiliary army, an unknown general who had no great achievements, and he was able to award many meritorious generals to Zhonglang generals first, which naturally caused a wave in the army.

Fortunately, Pei Yuanshao did not serve in the Chu Army, or in other words, the intelligence investigation work that Pei Yuanshao was responsible for was semi-detached from the army system, and was not subject to the constraints and restraint of the generals in the army, but directly obeyed the orders and reported to Zhang Xiu. And Zhang Xiu sometimes needed to lead troops out to fight, so it was Prime Minister Jia Xu Jia Wenhe who was actually responsible for establishing the intelligence and information work of the Chu State.
