Chapter 317: Chen Liu's Army

The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. -----------Northern song dynasty. Su Shi's "Fixing the Storm. 7 March"

It is said that Chen Long, Zhou Budo and Zhang Yan walked in the depths of Taihang Mountain in Bingzhou, and successfully persuaded the hermit Zhang Zhen and Hu Zhao to go out of the mountain together and go to Chen Liu to persuade Chen Palace. Chen Gong not only agreed to the proposal of the Cao thief, but also sincerely opened a ferry port between Dongming County and Jiyang County, which is located on the Yellow River in the far suburbs of Chenliu, to the ships of the Montenegrin Army, and the materials, baggage and troops of the Montenegrin Army continued to flow into the plain between Chenliu and Yanzhou along the Yellow River, and the Montenegrin Army Dazhai was set up to occupy a large area of the plain and suburbs outside Jiyang County.

Dongming County was originally called Dongwu County, which was the name changed by Wang Mang during the new dynasty. Dongming County is located in the last bend of the Yellow River in Jiuqu, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was Humuyi, and the Qin Dynasty placed Jiyang County in the north of the county. In five BC, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu was born in Jiyang Palace in the north of the county. The geographical location here is extremely important, located at the junction of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and close to the Yellow River to control the ferry to Jizhou, directly facing the entire vast Qinghai-Yanyu Great Plain, which is not only a famous Yellow Flood area, but also a real fertile field.

In the east of the East Ming Dynasty, along the east of the Yellow River, there is Daze called Heze, one of the famous Daze in ancient and modern times. Heze is the confluence of Heshui and Jishui, Xina Jishui, and the Yellow River; East out of Heshui, connected to Surabaya, and then south to the Huai River, Yangtze River, East China Sea; The Tohoku flows into Onozawa, and the Tohoku flows into the north, the economy flows north and south, and the east flows into the sea. Heze also connects Lei Ze in the north, Tongpu water, Yangli water, and gourd river; Nanna Huanggou Branch, through Meng Zhuze, is the largest water transportation hub in the ancient Central Plains.

To the north of Heze, across the Yellow River is the important town of Puyang, close to the Jizhou Governance Office, and is a place where soldiers must fight. To the south of Heze, that is, the famous Dingtao, also known as Jiyin County. According to Huai, Xu, Ning, Wei, Yan and Zhaozhiji, Dingtao has always been a famous water and land transportation center, an economic metropolis and a military strategic place in the Central Plains, enjoying the reputation of "in the world".

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li helped the Yue to destroy Wu, tossed to Tao, "Tao for the world", then settled here to do business, "19 years, three to a thousand gold", was respected by the descendants as the ancestor of Shang, buried in Tao after death, the name of the Tao began from this.

During the Warring States Period, Wei Ran of the Qin State took Taoyi as a fief, and after Wei Ran died in Taoyi, Qin Yu set Taoyi in Taojun. In 221 B.C., the Qin State unified the six countries, and Dingtao belonged to Dangjun. At the end of Qin, Zhang Han killed Xiang Liang and Yu Dingtao. In 202 B.C., Liu Bang was located in Dingtao, the sun of the water, and the Han Dynasty was established.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang sealed Peng Yue in the Liang State and built the capital Dingtao. In the sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Liang State was divided into five, and Jiyin County was set up in Dingtao, with nine counties under its jurisdiction. The Western Han Dynasty was changed to Jiyin County in three years, and then changed to Dingtao State, the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to Yanzhou Jiyin County, Jiyin County governed Dingtao, governed eleven counties, in the official history, Cao Cao's "Battle of Dingtao" defeated Lu Bu.

In the official history, there are two famous "battles of Dingtao", one is in August of the second year of Qin II (208 BC), in the battle of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to destroy Qin, Qin general Zhang Han broke an offensive battle of Xiang Liang's army in Dingtao. In July, Xiang Liang led the Chu army to attack Qin, and broke the Qin army in Dong'e, Puyang Dong, Dingtao, Chengyang, and Yongqiu. After several victories, Xiang Liang underestimated the strength of the Qin army and relaxed his vigilance. In August, Zhang Han received the support of Qin II's troops, that is, he led his troops to attack Xiang Liang, and broke the Chu army in Dingtao, and Xiang Liang was killed in battle. In order to avoid being defeated by the Qin army, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and Lu Chen all took the initiative to lead their troops to retreat to the area of Pengcheng. After Zhang Han defeated Xiang Liang, he led his troops north to attack Zhao because the Chu army was not worried, so that the Chu army had a chance to rest and regain strength.

The second "Battle of Dingtao" occurred in the second year of Emperor Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the war of Cao Cao's unification of the north, Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, captured Dingtao and expelled the Fenwei general Lu Bu. In this battle, Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's strategy, skillfully set up an ambush, defeated and drove out Lü Bu with less, and consolidated the Yanzhou base area, which was of great significance to Cao Cao's future unification of the north and the achievement of great causes. After Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu in the battle of Puyang, he regrouped and defeated Lü Bu's army that invaded Dingtao in the first month of the following year. In May, Cao Cao launched an attack on Jiang Lan and Li Feng, the generals of Lü Bu's troops who garrisoned Juye, but Lü Bu personally rescued, was defeated by Cao Cao, and retreated. Cao Cao annihilated the defenders of Juye, beheaded Jiang Lan and Li Feng, and took advantage of the victory to enter Chengshi County.

At that time, Cao Cao learned that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was dead, and planned to take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou and return to the army to eliminate Lü Bu. Strategist Xun Yu pointed out that Yanzhou is the base for you to achieve hegemony and compete for the world, and at present, you should seize the opportunity to harvest cooked wheat, store grain, accumulate strength, and first concentrate on eliminating the trouble of Lu Bu, a henchman. Then march to defeat Yuan Shu, who seized Yangzhou, and control the Huai and Si river valleys. If he goes on an expedition to Xuzhou now, Lü Bu will definitely take advantage of the weakness to enter, and Yanzhou counties may fall into Lü Bu's hands. If you attack Xuzhou and kill many people, you will inevitably fight for yourself, and if you have no surrender, even if you can break it, it is difficult to possess it. If the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou are strong and clear, and they cannot be conquered for a while, you will fall into a dangerous situation of losing ground and being homeless. Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's advice and abandoned his attempt to attack Xuzhou. Soon, Lü Bu really set out from Dongyi County to join Chen Gong and led an army of 10,000 to attack Cao Cao. At that time, the Cao army was collecting wheat outside, and there were only 1,000 people left in the camp. There is a causeway to the west of the camp, and there is a forest to the south. Cao Cao immediately gathered his troops, ambushed the embankment with the main force, and sent a force to challenge him. Lu Bu thought that Cao Cao had few soldiers, so he led the army to attack quickly, and after being lured into the ambush area by Cao Cao, the ambush troops burst out, and the infantry and cavalry jointly attacked, and Lu Bu's army was defeated and fled. Cao Cao followed the pursuit and arrived at Lü Bu's camp, but Lü Bu was unable to fight, and feared being besieged by Cao's army, so he abandoned the camp overnight and retreated to Xuzhou. Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to capture Dingtao City, and sent troops to recover the counties of Yanzhou. After Lü Bu's defeat, Cao Cao rose to the Central Plains, and Liu Bei fled to Xinye, which had a far-reaching impact, which shows Xun Yu's foresight.

Chen Long and Zhou Budo had earlier determined the strategy for the first battle of Yanzhou at the combat meeting, and the focus was on the strategy of Dingtao. According to the strategic intelligence collected in the early stage, Cao Cao's army called itself Tiger Ben, and consisted of three major corps of the White Tiger Army, the Black Tiger Army, and the Tiger Ben Guards, most of the main forces of the Black Tiger Army followed Cao Cao to conquer Qingzhou, attacked Beihai, and the main force of the White Tiger Army guarding Dingtao and Cao County was more than 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Qingzhou, with the general Le Jin as the main general, Li Dian as the deputy general, and Liang Mao as the military division.

Le Jin and Li Dian are superior in strength and proficient in the art of war, so Cao Cao is assured to let them guard the rear border. The military advisor Liang Mao Liang Bofang is a famous man newly established by Cao Cao in Yanzhou, but he is the number one person.

Liang Mao, the word Bofang, Shanyang Changyi people. Although the family is poor, there are few scientific names, and when discussing, they often cite scriptures as evidence. After Cao Cao arrived in Yanzhou, he heard about his reputation and made him an official. At this time, there are many thieves in Taishan County, Liang Mao served as Taishan Taishou, for the official integrity, to fight against bandits, within a month, there are more than 1,000 people with children to come to attach, after which the official reputation rises.

In the official history, later Liang Mao was transferred to Lelang Taishou. At that time, Gongsun Du, who was guarding Liaodong, detained Liang Mao without authorization and prevented him from taking office, but Liang Mao always refused to give in to Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du once discussed with the generals and Liang Mao who could resist Cao Cao's army during Cao Cao's northern expedition, and Gongsun Du said to Liang Mao and the generals: "I heard that Cao Gong went on a long journey, and Yecheng was not prepared to defend, and now I want to use 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to attack Yecheng directly, who can resist!" The generals said, "Yes." Gongsun Du looked at Liang Mao again and said, "What do you think of this idea?" Ryomo replied, "With the recent turmoil at sea, and the country is about to be overthrown, the general, you have a force of 100,000 men, and you sit at home and watch the successes and failures of all sides. Cao Gong was worried about the crisis and defeat of the country, took pity on the suffering and harm of the people, and led the righteous army to kill the murderous thieves for the people of the world. Because the country has just been pacified, and the people have initially settled down, there is no punishment for the general's crimes! But the general, if you want to raise an army to attack westward, then the effect of survival and destruction can not be decided in one morning. Hello General, do it yourself! ”

When the generals heard Liang Mao's words, they were all shocked and moved. After a long time, Gongsun Du said, "Liang Mao's words are right. Liang Mao was later recruited as the Taishou of Wei County and the Minister of Gan Ling, and he had political achievements wherever he served.

Later, when Cao Pi was appointed as the general of Wuguan Zhonglang, Liang Mao was elected as the chief of the history and was promoted to the left army division. In the early days of the establishment of the Wei State, Liang Mao was promoted to Shangshu and later served as a lieutenant Fengchang. When Emperor Wen lived in the East Palace as the crown prince, Liang Mao was the crown prince and the prince, and he was very respected and courteous by Cao Pi, and finally unfortunately died of illness in the official position.

After obtaining accurate information on the strength of Yanzhou's defense, Long Zhu, as the main army division of the Black Mountain Army, agreed with Chen Gong on the exact date of meeting the alliance to discuss the advance of the coalition army. At this time, Lu Bu and Bai Butterfly were outside, and they had already received a report from Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba on a joint march to attack Yanzhou, Lu Bu had no plan, where would he object, although Bai Butterfly was selfish, but he couldn't stop it for a while, and there was indeed a shortage of troops, so he was happy to use the 200,000 Black Mountain Army first, and wait for the snipe and mussels to fight, so that the fisherman could benefit.

Dragon Ball was originally the incarnation of Long Chen, but now he has made up a little again, anyway, no one on the battlefield in the north can see through him, and it is not inappropriate to come forward to discuss with Chen Gong. The meeting point between the two sides was set in an abandoned palace between Chen Liu and the ferry, and Chen Long only took Zhou Budo and Tai Shici, as well as ten personal guards, into the abandoned palace called Qingxian Palace, guessing in his heart who Chen Gong would come with.
