Volume 2 Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 31 The Tiger is coming
The long-lost light rain moistened the dry soil, Xun Yu walked through the corridor, turned around and walked into a secluded courtyard, but he never thought that when he raised his eyes, he saw the owner of the courtyard leaning against the railing in thin clothes, looking at the rain. Seeing this situation, Xun Yu couldn't help frowning slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded with concern, "Zhicai, how can you get drenched in the rain if you are weak, go into the house quickly." β
"It's been raining for a long time, and I've almost forgotten what the rain looks like." Xi Zhicai shook off the rain in his hand as he spoke, turned back to Xun Yu and asked, "Brother Wen Ruo, but the lord has decided to welcome the Son of Heaven into the Promise?" β
"I really can't hide it." Xun Yu smiled, and then nodded with an excited look, "Yes, the lord has overcome public opinion and is determined to welcome the Son of Heaven." β
"Needless to say, this time it must be Wen Ruo who persuaded the lord to welcome the Son of Heaven." As he spoke, Xi Zhicai turned around and walked into the house tremblingly, obviously not enough to support him to stand for a long time.
Seeing this, Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xi Zhi sit down slowly, "I just know the lord and reason and move with affection." As for the final decision, it is still the lord's decision. In fact, the reason why the monarchs opposed the Son of Heaven was only because they were worried about Han Xian, Yang Feng and others, who were arrogant and violent, and it was not easy to subdue. It's not that I don't want to welcome the Son of Heaven. β
"Of course. The lord welcomed the Son of Heaven this time, just as the Duke of Jin Wen welcomed King Zhou Xiang in the past, and Gaozu mourned for the righteous emperor, which was a move to win the hearts of the people in the world. How could you object? However, Zhicai is deeply favored by the lord, and at this critical juncture, he can't share the worries of the lord, and he is really ashamed to promote the lord. Xi Zhicai sighed abruptly. In fact, since assisting Cao Cao in driving LΓΌ Bu out of Yanzhou, Xi Zhicai's condition has completely deteriorated. Although Cao Cao also visited many famous doctors for him during this period, most of the doctors said that there was no cure for Xi Zhicai's illness. The few doctors who kept saying that they could treat him well were only using medicine to relieve his pain. Of course, the thoughtful Xi Zhicai can see the cattiness, so for the physical condition, Xi Zhicai at this time has already prepared for the worst.
However, even so, Xun Yu still cheered up his friend and said, "Don't be discouraged, as long as you take care of your body, there will be an opportunity for you to show your skills in the future." β
Xun Yu's words are half to motivate Xi Zhicai, and half are also to look forward to the future. The strategy of "serving the Son of Heaven by ordering not to obey" is a good opportunity for Cao Cao, who is currently semi-strong and not weak, to get rid of Yuan Shao's suppression. The Central Plains is not like a border land, where strong enemies are like clouds, and there are many families. No one will let you cultivate and accumulate military resources with peace of mind, on the contrary, as long as you show the slightest sign of weakness, the surrounding princes will not hesitate to rush to you. But if there is a Son of Heaven in Yanzhou, then at least Cao Cao has a moral advantage. As for how to use the influence of the imperial court, isn't it the duty of a strategist?
Let's say that Xun Yu is thinking about the broad prospects of the future in his heart, but Xi Zhicai, who is not confident in his body, is thinking about who will replace Cao Cao after death. But at this time, he coughed violently and sighed, "My body knows best." Originally, I wanted Feng Xiao to take over my position. But he never thought that Fengxiao would be in Donglai, and now it seems that the only way to ask Gongda to go out of the mountain is to do so. β
The Gongda mentioned by Xi Zhicai is Xun Yu's nephew Xun Yu, Xun Gongda. Although Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew, he is six years older than Xun Yu. In the first year of Zhongping, He Jin Bingzheng recruited more than 20 famous people in the sea, and Xun You was one of them. Later, Dong Zhuo was violent*, and Xun You, who was an official worshipper of the Yellow Gate, conspired with He Hao and others to assassinate Dong Zhuo. But before it was discovered, Xun You and He Hao were imprisoned, He Hao was afraid of committing suicide, and Xun You was free to speak and eat. Soon after, LΓΌ Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and Xun Yu was spared death. After escaping and ascending to heaven, Xun You was elected as the Taishou of Shu County, but due to the war and poor roads, he can only live in seclusion in Jingzhou at present.
"That's what I mean, too. Don't hide Zhicai, I have told Gongda that the lord wants to welcome the Son of Heaven into Xu, and Gongda will definitely come to Xuchang to help the lord after hearing the news. Xun Yu said confidently. And the benefits of "Fengtianzi" also appeared at this moment. Before the change, Xun Yu was not sure to persuade the talented eldest nephew to join Cao Cao. But with the signboard of the Son of Heaven, there is a good chance that loyal people like Xun You will join Cao Cao.
Xi Zhicai saw that Xun Yu was very confident, and on the one hand, he was happy that he had won a soldier for the lord, and on the other hand, he said regretfully, "This is very good." It's just a pity that Bonghyo is done. β
"Fengxiao's appearance in Donglai is indeed unexpected. However, Cai Anzhen is not an idle person. According to Ang, Cai Anzhen once sent 500 guards to escort Wu Shuo, a member of the council, to Jingshi to rescue him. It can be seen that although he is a vassal of Yuan Shao, he still has the Son of Heaven and the court in his heart. Xun Yu stroked his beard and said. The matter of the rescue of 500 soldiers and horses in Donglai has already spread throughout the Central Plains at this moment, and Cai Ji has also won the favor of many famous people from the family. This naturally includes Xun Yu. Therefore, although Xun Yu was a little regretful that he did not recruit Guo Jia first, he did not think that Guo Jia had secretly invested in Donglai.
"I also know that Cai Anzhen of Donglai County has a natural talent. It's just that it's just a female stream after all, and the pattern is too narrow. It is difficult for Fengxiao to show his talents in Donglai. Xi Zhicai shook his head again and again.
"You can't say that. Feng Xiao first drove away Kong Wenju in Beihai, and now confronted Yuan Tan on the banks of the Weishui River. In just a few months, he has become a figure of the year in Qingzhou. Xun Yu praised with a little emotion. Besides, Guo Jia is a native of Yingchuan, and Xun Yu is somewhat proud of the fact that he can look down on his fellow villagers to achieve such results.
However, at this time, Xi Zhicai was obviously not as optimistic as Xun Yu, but when he saw him, he said worriedly, "Man of the hour? This time, Qingzhou fell into chaos, and I don't know how long Feng Xiao, a man of the hour, can do. β
"How did Zhicai say this. Although there are a large number of people in the Yuan Tan department, it is difficult for Yuan Tan's master to become a big thing. Guo Tu is also a soldier on paper. These two are not Fengxiao's opponents, so I think that most of this Donglai is in danger. Zhicai is thinking too much. Xun Yu smiled and waved his hand.
"Just Yuan Tan and Guo Tu are not to worry about. However, there is more than Yuan Shao's family in the world. When Xi Zhicai said this, he asked meaningfully, "If you forget, there is still a tiger in Xuzhou?" βγ
Xun Yu listened to what Xi Zhicai said, and immediately changed his expression, and exclaimed, "Lu Bu"
"Lu Bu ......"
In the tent of the commander of the Donglai Army on the bank of the Weishui River, Cai Ji also silently recited this well-known name in later generations in his heart. It is said that the confrontation between the Donglai Department and the Yuan Tan Department has been almost a month, and there has been no large-scale battle between the two armies during this period. The reason for this was that Guo Jia and Wang Xiu had collected all the boats on the Weishui River in advance and dismantled a bridge on the river that could be used to cross the river. So much so that Yuan Tankong had twice as many troops but could not cross the river to fight. In a fit of rage, he ordered his men to cut down trees to build sampans and rafts. However, 30,000 horses is not a small number after all, and it is possible to transport soldiers and horses across the river on a large scale with sampans and rafts alone. In addition, above Weishui, there is a patrol of the Donglai Water Division. Often, Yuan Tanjun on this side set up a raft and prepared to cross Weishui, and the warships of Donglai on the other side swaggered up and knocked the raft overturned. After experiencing several painful lessons, Yuan Tan finally made up his mind to set up camp on the west bank of Weishui for the time being, and then cross the river to fight after the new warships were built. As a result, the battle of Weishui dragged on again and again and fell into a stalemate.
During this period, Cai Ji has been waiting for Yuan Shao's statement. asked Cai Ji to follow Guo Jia and Liu Yixun's construction, but on the way back, he had already written a letter of defense and sent it to Yecheng. And in terms of the distance from Yecheng to Beihai, even if this letter climbs at this moment, it should climb to Yecheng. However, until today, Yuan Shao of Yecheng has not made any statement about the conflict between Cai Ji and Yuan Tan this time. In other words, Yuan Shao neither explicitly supported the big attack on Cai Ji, nor did he mean to uphold justice for Cai Ji. In the case that Yuan Tanjun has the advantage, Yuan Shao's silent attitude undoubtedly shows in the world that he is actually supportive. And just when Cai Ji was already disheartened by Yuan Shao and planned to promote peace with war, she unexpectedly received a letter from Xuzhou, and what made her pupils constrict even more was that the letter was signed by Lu Bu, the governor of Xuzhou.
It turned out that since Lu Bu captured Xiapi, he began to regard himself as the governor of Xuzhou. Although this position was not recognized by the imperial court, Lu Bu was still happy to use this name to give orders to the entire territory of Xuzhou, and even to the counties outside Xuzhou. However, this time in his letter to Cai Ji, he did not set up the state pastor's score. Instead, he called Cai Ji "virtuous niece" very enthusiastically, while Lu Bu called himself "uncle" in the letter. In short, this is a letter full of love from the elders to the younger ones. In the letter, Lu Bu not only denounced the Yuan family's father and son's shame and ingratitude to Cai Ji, but also expressed his willingness to send troops to help Cai Ji teach Yuan Tan a stinky boy who didn't know the height of the sky. Of course, in return, in addition to recognizing Lu Bu, a cheap uncle, Cai Ji also had to offer grain, grass, and even land.
After reading such a letter with the atmosphere of "wolf grandmother", Cai Ji naturally would not be moved by Lu Bu's "righteousness" to immediately bow down. On the contrary, she realized that the situation was strict, and she didn't say a word, so she asked people to quickly summon Tai Shici, Guo Jia, Liu Yixun, Wang Xiu and others to discuss countermeasures.
"I've only heard that Lu Feng recognized his godfather first, but I never thought that Wen Hou would also change his temperament and start to take in his niece." After reading the letter, Guo Jia first sneered playfully.
"This uncle, this mansion can't recognize him." Cai Ji smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "How can someone call a virtuous niece well." β
"What a virtuous niece, Lu Bu's wolf ambition is clearly to take advantage of people's danger" Tai Shi Ci said angrily.
Liu Yixun, who was on the side, also echoed worriedly, "Lu Bu's ambition is obvious, but the lord is now confronting Yuan Tan on the bank of the Weishui River. If Lu Buzhen did as stated in the letter, he would raise troops to come to Qingzhou to 'help in the war'. So what should we do? β
Although Guo Jia, Tai Shici, and Liu Yixun have different styles, the meaning they want to express is the same, that is, Lu Bu is not well-intentioned. But the problem is that Ming Lubu is not well-intentioned, and how does Donglai deal with this "wolf grandmother" who knocks on the door outside. is the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, Donglai's foundation is just like this, maybe it is more than enough to bully and bully small counties such as Beihai, and relying on Weishui natural insurance can also resist a brother like Yuan Tan. But if you really want to deal with the flying general Lu Bu, the Shangzhou cavalry, and the trapped camp, then it is not a joke. Moreover, Lu Bu vigorously counted Yuan Tan's mistakes in the letter, which means that no matter whether Cai Ji agrees or not, he will "stand up" for Cai Ji very "righteously". Thinking that Donglai might encounter the danger of fighting on two fronts in the future, everyone in the tent at this moment invariably fell into deep thought.
"My lord, if you don't like you, you will transfer troops back to Donglai to resist Lu Bu. Xiu fought Weishui and Yuan Tan in this battle. Wang Xiu, who had not spoken before, took the lead in breaking the silence. Although Wang Xiu is a newly attached person, his temper is that he will sacrifice his life for whoever he works for. Just like in history, Wang Xiu not only rescued Kong Rong. When Yan Cai rebelled, he personally led his subordinate officials to the palace gate to support Cao Cao. So much so that Cao Cao exclaimed similar to Kong Rong on the Tongque Platform, "Those who come will be ruled by Uncle Wang." β
Sure enough, when he heard that Wang Xiu was planning to fight to the death, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly stopped him, "No." The seven counties of Beihai are newly attached to Donglai, and the people's hearts and the army's hearts are unstable. If we wait for this moment. How could Shuzhi's thousands of men and horses stop Yuan Tan's tens of thousands of troops. β
"General Ziyi, don't underestimate the Beihai people. As long as there is still a breath left, Xiu and the people of the North Navy swear to defend the seven counties. What's more, once Lu Bu invades Donglai, the Donglai soldiers will inevitably worry about their families in the rear, and the army's morale will be turbulent at that time, wouldn't it be even worse. Wang Xiu argued.
"Why don't you deal with Lu Bu first? After all, this person is short-sighted, as long as he is given a small profit, he can delay for a while. Liu Yixun frowned and said.
"What's more," Guo Jia vetoed categorically, "The lord is only at odds with Yuan Tan now, and he has not nominally broken away from the Yuan family." But if the lord befriends Lu Bu, then Donglai will be enemies with Ji, He, and Qing Sanzhou, and Lu Bu will also take the opportunity to enter Donglai, and then it will really be called to lure the wolf into the house. β
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, everyone in the big tent gasped. Indeed, Lu Bu's reputation at the moment has long been stinky in the Central Plains. No one will, he will keep his morality and keep his promises. Taking refuge in Lu Bu is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. The final result is likely to be just like Guo Jia's analysis, Donglai was divided between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. Therefore, in the face of Guo Jiacuo's stern opposition, Liu Yixun did not get angry, but reached out and touched the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded in agreement, "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true. I almost made a big guy. β
However, as Liu Yixun affirmed Guo Jia's analysis, the atmosphere in the big tent became more and more solemn. The analysis of the pros and cons is actually not difficult. As long as you have enough information, you can always analyze one, two, three. The real test is decision. At this moment, faced with the dilemma of "sticking out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife", Cai Ji, who has the right to make decisions, can't help but fall into contemplation.
