Chapter 11 Do you want to give a meaning to the Hou of Guan Nei first?
"Yun Chang, Yide! What the results are! ”
"Boya, Zilong! How are you doing? It's okay! ”
"There is a son of the dragon Youping Dianwei to protect me, and it is naturally as safe as Mount Tai."
In the evening of the same day, in Guanzi City, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Su, Zhao Yun and others finally ended their days of hard work and gathered in the dilapidated county government in the city to say goodbye.
After the great battle, everyone was in a state of turmoil, and it was inevitable that they would fly away. Zhang Fei took out a few large leather bags filled with Zhongshan winter brew, as well as some prey that had just been shot from the enemy camp this morning, and made a fire to barbecue meat and drink.
The officers and soldiers in Guanzi City already had dishes on their faces, and Gongsun Zhan's generals Yan Gang, Zou Dan, Tian Kai and others, watching Guan Zhang eat and drink, inevitably had envious eyes, and dared not speak out.
Fortunately, Guan Yu was still more righteous, and asked his cavalry to take out the dried meat and millet flour cakes in the dry food bag and share them with the friendly army, and also brought an exciting good news to the friendly army:
Liu Xuande, the commander of Guangyang, is about to personally lead the reinforcements of 3,000 foot soldiers to take the Lushui waterway and rush to Guanzi City tonight.
Because of the convenience of water transportation, a batch of military rations will be escorted with the army!
Gongsun Zhanjun in Guanzi City was suddenly highly motivated, and they were grateful to Liu Bei for his rescue.
Many soldiers were originally instilled by Gongsun Zhan with the idea that "the imperial court has not come to rescue us for so long, it must be Youzhou Mu Liu Yu who made us bad, then we should be outcasts", and they still complained about the imperial court. was so engaged by Liu Bei, and the resentment was also calmed down.
Especially everyone will spontaneously inquire about the origin of this Liu Bei, and then learn by word of mouth that Liu Bei is the younger brother of Gongsun Changshi.
In this way, no matter whether the soldiers and officers still complained about Liu Yu, but at least they had a 100% good impression of Liu Bei, and they all said that Liu Bei was a person of unparalleled benevolence.
No one came to the rescue before, it must be Zhang Nantai, the governor of Yuyang County, who occupied the defense area without reinforcements, and blocked Liu Duwei's way.
Anyway, Zhang Nan is also used to resisting pressure and carrying the pot.
The group barbecued, drank, and rested, and then talked about the results of the past few days, as well as the future situation - the war is progressing too fast, no one can grasp the overall situation, and they must sit down and communicate with each other.
Li Su asked Zhao Yun to take out two boxes, put them aside for Guan Zhang to take a look at, and then took out a letter from his arms and shook it - it was Qiu Liju's reply letter to Liu Yu, sealed with fire paint, Li Su was inconvenient to open it for others to see, but he knew the content.
"Those two heads are Zhang Ju and Lord Suli of Liaoxi Xianbei. Zhang Ju was killed by Zilong, you should all know it. Su Li was killed by Qiu Liju's troops last night.
In his reply, he also promised to help make Jun destroy the most active Suli tribe among the Xianbei tribes, so there is no need to worry about Suli in the future. ”
When Guan Zhang heard this, he was all happy. Guan Yu twisted his beard to praise: "In this way, the three counties Xianbei, only Shanggu Xianbei Kebineng is left, this crime is not yet obvious, and he has escaped a catastrophe." Liaoxi Xianbei Suli is about to be annihilated, and Liaodong Xianbei Wuyan - oh, it should be called Wusu now, and it will continue to fight with the imperial court endlessly.
However, Wuyan is dead, and Wusu has also fled south to Taishan to hide, and these Xianbei people they left in Liaodong are probably also leaderless, although the population is still quite large, it is impossible to cause much harm.
Alas, but I heard that we concentrated our forces in the north to deal with Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju, and I heard that in the past few months, the south has been re-enlarged and resurrected by a thousand people in Wusuna.
Wuyan arrived at Mount Tai in July, contacted the Taishan thieves in August and September, and later gathered the Yellow Turban thieves who were scattered after the Battle of Cangting, and I heard that last month, the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou actually fully revived. In the coming year, the thieves in Youzhou will be calmed down, and maybe it will be the turn of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to become a big problem for the imperial court. In this world, the thief love is really unsettled, and it has risen again and again. ”
Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.
Li Su was also silent, not knowing how to persuade.
No way, in the last two years of the Spirit Emperor, the frequency of thieves and rebellions is indeed a bit magical, and people who don't know history will definitely find it difficult to understand when they are in it-
Zhang Juyu's party detonated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the Taishan thieves;
Next year, when the article is turned over, there will be no accident in the spring famine, and there will be the Gepi Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou;
The Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion has always been intermittent anyway, and Han Sui and Wang Guo always have to come to Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo from time to time;
The Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo stationed in Hedong caused the local people to be overburdened, led to the introduction of white wave thieves, and completely eroded the state from south to north;
The anti-Han faction of the Southern Xiongnu pseudo-Shan Yu Xubu Gudu Marquis completely went south to plunder the Han land......
Even if Zhang Ju is destroyed, at least there will be a large-scale rebellion on five roads.
Li Su couldn't explain, so he put it aside: "Yun Chang, don't think about this, although there are many anti-thieves, I will do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." You are also a reasonable person who reads books, and you should understand the theory of "Blessings in the Palace" written by me and Cai Gong.
As long as the initiator does not make the Han warlord divided, then no matter how many initiators come, they will die a good death and will be punished by God. Providence is endless, it is nothing more than the accumulation of contradictions within the Han Dynasty now, which needs to be released. When it comes to repetition, is there any certainty? After the release, there will always be no pole Tailai and Ming Lord Zhongxing. ”
Guan Yu bowed his head, feeling convinced, and only then did he sweep away the decadent atmosphere.
Li Su continued: "Besides, you must not think that Wusu himself is trapped in Taishan County, and there is no threat to the Wusu Ministry. In fact, maybe it will be more troublesome - Zhang Chun has never been with Zhang Jutun. When Zhang Ju's base camp was broken yesterday, you should also know that many rebels fled to join Zhang Chun.
In my opinion, there is Qiu Liju in Liaoxi and Youbeiping who is against him, and Zhang Chun must have stayed for a short time, so his only possibility is to take the difficult king of Shanggu Wuhuan to escape to Liaodong together, and clean up Zhang Ju's rout and Suli's remnants along the way.
Zhang Chun's line always has tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers in the Nanqiao King, plus one each of Wusu and Suli, adding up to more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 Zhang Ju's defeated soldiers who fled - in my opinion, within a month, Zhang Chun may completely integrate all the remaining anti-Han forces in Youzhou, and there are still 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers. He didn't have the courage to counterattack Liaoxi, but it was entirely possible to be the emperor of Liaodong as a local emperor. ”
Of course, although the enemy is still strong, the onslaught of Li Su and Guan Zhang Gongsun Zan is still very effective.
If Zhang Ju is not destroyed and Qiu Liju is not wooed, he is still facing more than 150,000 rebels.
Cutting down 100,000 enemies and recovering two counties, the results of this wave must be affirmed.
Guan Yu pondered: "In this way, the next step for the imperial court is to ask the eldest brother and Gongsun Zhan, as well as other generals in Youzhou, and to pacify Liaodong?" Now that it is close to the lunar month, the weather is cold and frozen, and this year will definitely not enter Liaodong, or first clear the right Beiping and Liaoxi places. But next year will be busy. ”
A group of people were drinking and chatting, it was getting late, outside the south gate of Guanzi City, there was a lot of noise, Li Su, Guan Yu and others hurriedly went to the city to see, and sure enough, Liu Bei's people came by boat to transport grain.
Liu Bei is good at winning people's hearts, and reuniting Li Su will inevitably care about it again.
Everyone re-added wine and food, and soon even Gongsun Zhan heard that Liu Bei was coming, and he also came to the same table.
After Gongsun Chan joined, the topic in the wine circle also became restrained, and he quickly cited fame and fortune and court rewards.
There is no way, everyone in Liu Bei's camp is still relatively indifferent to fame and fortune - mainly because after they have made meritorious contributions, Li Su will find a way to operate, and Liu Bei will also turn a blind eye and let Li Su spend his money casually.
So since Li Su joined the camp, the people on Liu Bei's side have never encountered the unfair treatment of meritorious service without promotion, and over time, they don't care about KPIs.
But Gongsun Chan is different, he often can't spend the money to buy officials, and he has seen a lot of things that have made meritorious contributions without official promotions, and the main thing is that he has been besieged for half a year, and he always feels out of touch with the times, so he will not leave the promotion and meritorious service.
"Xuande! You've risen so fast in the past six months, and the foolish brother almost can't figure it out! You must be deeply appreciated by Liu Youzhou and well understand the secret of rewarding meritorious deeds! If you still take me as a senior brother, then tell me about the counterinsurgency this time, how the court will decide! Could it be that I have been besieged for half a year and held back more than 100,000 rebels, and I have no credit? ”
When Gongsun Chan asked this question, he was obviously sad and depressed, and he drank too much.
"Brother pinned down so many rebels, so that the enemy did not dare to withdraw from the siege, this does not just show that the puppet emperor Zhang Ju knows that his brother is powerful, and he is afraid that after the tiger returns to the mountain to supply troops, he will not be able to beat his brother again, and the court will definitely deal with it impartially.
The greatest credit this time is naturally the work of making the king's planning, if it weren't for the king's more than ten years of accumulation, who would be able to recruit Qiu Liju? As for the second, the skill of preparing for the battle with the elder brother should also be slightly higher than the elder brother......"
In order to save face for Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei can only say this.
But in fact, on the way he came, he already roughly knew Liu Yu's thoughts on retribution.
The first credit is still Liu Yu's.
The second merit should be him Liu Bei himself - because in the end, most of the credit for recovering the entire territory of Youbeiping will be counted on Liu Bei's head. Captain Zou Jing, Captain Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, they will take one or two percent at most.
The credit for recovering Liaoxi County is Gongsun Zhan, who accounts for more than half, and Liu Beijun accounts for a small half. And to break Zhang Ju's camp and annihilate tens of thousands of hardcore rebels, this should also be a little more than Gongsun Zhan, after all, Gongsun Chan has a lot of troops, and he has won many more heads when he has made meritorious contributions.
As for the credit for the fourth place in the process of flat lifting, it should be Li Su.
In fact, if it was completely spontaneous and followed Ban Chao to kill the puppet emperor Zhang Ju in a sneak attack, or persuaded Qiu Liju to behead Zhang Ju, then Li Su would definitely be more than enough to make a liehou-Ban Chao killed the Xiongnu envoy and forced the king of Shanshan to surrender and then named the Marquis of Dingyuan.
However, there is still a big gap between Li Su's credit and Ban Chao's after all, and that lies in the prestige bonus of Li Su's diplomatic victory, which is provided by Liu Yu in the final analysis.
Li Su is only responsible for passing on the word and persuading some preferential conditions, but Qiu Liju is selling Liu Yu's face.
Without Liu Yu, the ghost will surrender to you Li Su! Even the prestige of the Han Dynasty is not good! Qiu Liju made it clear that "Liu Yu will not descend to Han", if one day Liu Yu is no longer Youzhou Mu, Qiu Liju's surrender today will be invalid! (Unless Liu Yu is not the queen of Youzhou and becomes the emperor directly, then Qiu Liju will continue to surrender)
Historically, Liu Yu's secret envoy persuaded Zhang Chun instead of Zhang Ju, and in the end, the envoy did not have any title reward at all, and was purely a tool man. Li Su still relied on his own subjective initiative to win better conditions, so he could hope to leave his name in the history books.
I hope at least to give a meaning to the Hou of Guannei, it's not easy to kill a puppet emperor.
